Chapter 1145: Capture Emperor Ming Alive!
On the third day of the seventh month of the twentieth year of Tianwu, the Ming soldiers at the head of Huiyuan City were patrolling.
Suddenly, there was a whistling of dust, followed by the sound of hurried horses' hooves and strange cries of different tones.
Cui Xiang was lying on the battlements, condescending, with a wide field of vision, and when he looked around, he saw that the black pressure was almost overwhelming.
Later, under all kinds of banners, there was a phalanx advancing one phalanx after another, and they had different uniforms, including cavalry, arquebusiers, heavily armed pikemen, and heavily armored archers..... The mountains are all over the wilderness, as far as the eye can see!
The enemy is pouring out, this is going to be a big battle?
The soldiers of the Ming army did not panic, but had a sense of relaxation, they knew very well what these calves were going to do, and they would come sooner or later!
Suddenly, a strange scene appeared in front of Cui Xiang's eyes: on the hillside about five hundred meters in the distance, the coalition troops running all over the mountains suddenly stopped, dodged to both sides, and made way for a big road.
A troop of cavalry roared in, and where it passed, the Russian army, which had been advancing rapidly, stopped and saluted the cavalry.
The brightly uniformed cavalry rushed up the hill and stopped, fanning out, and among them appeared a tall snow-white horse, which was the white horse of the Western Regions given by the Chechen Khan.
The horse's head is high, the body is strong, the hooves are vigorous, and on the back of the white horse, there is a general wearing a pure white military uniform, the general's hair is yellow, his face is sharp and angular, and his deep sunken eyes emit a chilling cold light.
On the hill, Golovin, the marshal of the Tsarist Russian Army and the commander-in-chief of the Four-Nation Alliance, spurred his horse and looked out over the smokey battlefield.
White horses neighed, wolf smoke rose everywhere, and in an instant, all the Russian soldiers in red uniforms stopped moving, covered their eyes with their right hands, and saluted the great Russian marshal.
Golovin was not only a field marshal, but also a count of the Russian Empire, an admiral, a high-ranking official of the Siberian province, and a count of the Holy Roman Empire......
He devoted his life to the establishment of the regular Russian army and navy, and also studied astronomy and geography and wrote books.
On the Far East, Golovin was the chief of Tsarist Russia, and on the one hand, he supported the Dzungar Khanate in attacking the Khalkha Mongols, and on the other hand, he directly sent troops to attack the Buryatia and other local Mongol tribes in order to consolidate Russian rule over the Siberian region.
Without Golovin, there would be no rising new army of Tsarist Russia; Without Golovin, there would be no such battlefield!
It was he who promoted the war machine of Tsarist Russia, colluded with Tsar Alexei I, and continued to expand abroad.
Golovin is shrewd, cold, arrogant, imperious, stoic, and decisive!
His thoughts are actions, and actions are thoughts!
Annexing the Dzungar Khanate, occupying Mobei, defeating the Ming Kingdom, and monopolizing the Far East are his grand ambitions!
This time, Golovin finally seized the opportunity and attacked Daming!
The emperor of the Ming Kingdom was here, and he divided his troops to the north several times, leaving less than 40,000 horses to stay in the Ili River Valley, what a good opportunity!
Golovin did not want to miss this opportunity to shine in history, and he rode his horse to the forefront, wearing his dazzling pure white marshal's uniform, with golden tassels draped over his shoulders and a red banner diagonally on his chest, as if he had come to the stage to receive the award.
There are loyal subordinates who dissuade him from wearing such a conspicuous marshal's uniform, which will become a target for snipers in the Ming army!
The arrogant Golovin refused the dissuasion of his subordinates, he did not believe that five hundred meters away, those yellow-skinned dwarfs could hit his majestic chest!
Golovin wants to use a costumed performance to witness the great battle between the Four-Nation Alliance Army under his command and the Ming Army! Witness another great victory of the Russian Army in foreign wars!
Looking at the not-so-majestic Huiyuan City in front of him, Golovin's mood had risen to the extreme, and he seemed to have seen the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom who was trembling in the city!
When he thinks of the legendary Emperor of the Eastern Empire, Golovin will realize that this trip will not only allow him to pick up a priceless treasure, but also make him famous for eternity!
The Tianwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty does not need to be introduced, this guy is really good as an emperor, and he revived the Ming Kingdom, making this declining country a world power.
However, today, he is a tiger in Pingyang! Because of strategic stupidity, he will become a prisoner and end his glorious life!
Of course, Golovin didn't want to kill this Ming Emperor, he had a lot to spare!
With this person, it is like guarding a mountain of gold and silver, and he will continue to get gold, silver, treasures, mink, and even land from the rich treasury of the Ming Empire!
If you can get money regularly, give what you want, and live such a happy life, what more can a husband ask for?
Golovin had even thought about it, even if Ming Guo ransomed the emperor with money, he would not release people, but continued to blackmail!
Of course, if you want to achieve all this, you must take Huiyuan City and capture Emperor Tianwu of the Ming Kingdom alive!
I have to say that this alternative way of withdrawing money was not thought up by Golovin himself, but by a Han man named Wu Liuqi.
Although Golovin is very cunning on the battlefield and has a good plan with soldiers, he is still not very proficient in this kind of conspiracy and tricks, and Wu Liuqi, who is known for his treacherous and shamelessness, just makes up for this vacancy.
Wu Liuqi, originally a native of Fengshun, Guangdong, was born in Wanli for 35 years, read poetry and books since childhood, and was widely involved in scripture and history, but the sage book did not wash his soul, his character was extremely poor, and he was addicted to alcohol and gambling, and he was used as a postman after exhausting his family property.
This kind of person, generally can't do serious errands, and later Wu Liuqi wandered the provinces, becoming an out-and-out street slipper, coinciding with the eight kings of the second year of Tianwu, King Jin recruited troops and horses, and accidentally recruited him.
Wu Liuqi relied on the support of the king of Jin and the army, gathered the township brave, dominated the township, pulled up a team, was named a guerrilla general, and after the Jingjing failed, he was worried that he would be beheaded by the raid, so he fled to the Western Regions, and was met and appreciated by Golovin who opened up Siberia, and became a staff officer of the Russian army.
This is also an old tradition, no matter which dynasty, traitors have never been a rare animal.
Some people are destined to be traitors by birth, and the so-called patriotic education and cultural edification are not useful to them at all!
Golovin was very appreciative of Wu Liuqi's opinion, and this Han man, who was very familiar with the interior of the Ming Kingdom, gave him too many surprises.
He at least learned from this traitor that more than 200 years ago, an emperor of the Ming Kingdom was also taken prisoner during his own conquest!
With the experience of his predecessors, Golovin's confidence was greatly increased, and in his opinion, it was only a matter of time before he could take this small Huiyuan City.
Half of the 150,000 troops of the coalition army were cavalry, lord cavalry, heavy cavalry, light cavalry, artillery war elephants, heavy pikemen, musketeers, artillerymen, heavily armored archers, and lightly armed archers.......
There are more than a dozen types of troops in the four countries, which can deal with the war in any situation, and Golovin believes that as long as everyone shouts twice outside the city to scare them, the Ming army in the city will be frightened!
On the hill, Golovin rode his horse, confidently looked at the officers of various countries, and shouted loudly to the dense coalition soldiers around him in a loud voice: "Break through the city and capture the Ming Emperor alive!" ”
The first to respond were tens of thousands of Russian soldiers, who hissed and shouted: "Break through the city and capture the Ming Emperor alive!" ”
Immediately afterwards, all countries responded, although the tone was different, but it was very face-saving.
Taking advantage of the enthusiasm of the army, Golovin did not delay, and immediately drew his sword and shouted: "Ula! ”
"Ulla!"
The morale of the officers and men of the four armies of the coalition army was greatly boosted, shouting "Ula", resounding through the river valley and killing towards Huiyuan City.
