Section XIX
Facing Lin Feng's surprised gaze, Zamuhe said with a heavy expression, "His Royal Highness the King of Han, Geerdan has brought 150,000 horses, what does he want to do, don't you still know?!" ”
"What does he want to do, what does it have to do with me?!" Lin Feng had already come to his senses at this time, glanced at Wang Shirong, who was sweating profusely beside him, turned his head and smiled at him, "This is your Mongolian business, this king can't control it!" ”
"It doesn't have to be like that?!" Zamuhe smiled dumbly, stretched out his hands and made a helpless gesture, "If Geerdan wants to enter the Hulunbuir grassland, he must first set foot on Chahar - can't you control Chahar?!" He glanced at Wang Shirong on the side, "In addition, we also heard that Geerdan sent an iron cavalry into Shanxi in addition to marching into Tuxietu, and I heard that Yu Chenglong, the governor of Shanxi in the Qing court, also seems to have suffered a defeat, this is the territory of your Han people, doesn't the prince care?!" ”
It seems that he has met an eloquent lobbyist, Lin Feng was a little surprised for a while, and he didn't know where such a Mongolian came out, his expression was actually the same as our Confucian students, it seemed that it was difficult to bargain in his mouth, and he smiled bitterly at the moment, "Forget it, one or twenty thousand people died today, and we are still here with nonsense that is not salty or light, but it is really boring!" He sighed, "Okay, where is Gerdan fighting now?!" ”
Zamuhe put away his ridiculous look and said solemnly, "Back to the King of Han, according to the news from Tuxietu, this time Geldan poured out of the nest, defeated Tuxietu's army in the first battle, and has now occupied Hohhot, and the troops are at the northern foot of the Great Wall, facing your army in Datong from afar, and the forward has passed the pasture of the Sizi tribe and marched towards the depths of Hulunbuir!" ……”
"So what you prince mean is that the two of us will join forces and deal with this northwest wolf first?!" Lin Feng interrupted him, with a strange look on his face, it was really ridiculous, today is not a day during the day, but at night they will become allies, this world is really wonderful.
"Lord Mingjian," Zamuhe's expression was serious, he didn't mean to joke at all, he stroked his chest with one hand, bowed slightly, and said solemnly, "This evil wolf of Geldan is fierce and cruel, this time he must want to annex the desert steppe and let all the Mongols prostrate at his feet, our warriors of Horqin will never let him succeed!" ”
"Oh, that's good!" Lin Feng looked at Wang Shirong and laughed, "Frankly speaking, this king still hopes that you Korqin will win - although we will still fight to the death, but no matter what, they are old neighbors, the so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and this friendship is still there!" ”
Zamuhe smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid that the King of Han doesn't want us Mongols to be unified under one big line?!" ”
"Hey! General Zamuhe, this thing can be eaten indiscriminately, but words can't be said indiscriminately," Lin Feng restrained his smile and said seriously, "I am a person who yearns for peace very much, and I have always been full of kindness to the Mongolian people, and in my opinion, if there is no more war on the beautiful grassland, then it doesn't matter if this king suffers a little loss, you really don't say this authentically!" ”
It's so shameless, Zamuhe scolded in his heart, but his face was full of gratitude, and he knelt down on one knee and pleaded, "The king forgives you, your kindness and kindness will definitely be praised by the prairie!" Seeing Lin Feng waving his hand, he took advantage of the situation to stand up, bowed and said, "So what our Horqin prince means is that we hope that the two of us will strike a truce and work together to deal with Geerdan, and then the Horqin Department and the Great Han Kingdom will always be good neighbors!" ”
"I'm really weird, you said you knew the news at noon, but why did you fight so fiercely with Lao Tzu?!" Lin Feng said dissatisfiedly, "Isn't it interesting that so many soldiers died in vain?!" ”
"Lord Wang...... Ahem, ahem......" Zamu was embarrassed when he was united, "We Mongols have always respected only warriors!" ”
This world is really realistic, Lin Feng pinched his nose, "To be honest, whether it's a truce or an alliance, this king has no opinion, but at the moment, there are more than just two of us, right?!" He raised his chin and pouted in the direction of the coalition camp, "I don't know what the Eight Banners mean, but I'm sure most of them won't be willing to be 'good neighbors' with me!" ”
Zamuhe pursed his lips disdainfully, "The eagle will never care what the rabbit thinks!" He faced Lin Feng and said respectfully, "The prince of Horqin commanded that the fate of the Eight Banners will be in the hands of the King of Han, and we will deal with the Qing people according to your wishes!" ”
Lin Feng and Wang Shirong glanced at each other, each other's eyes were full of suspicion, Wang Shirong coughed lightly, "General Zamuhe, as far as this official knows, your tribe and the puppet Qing have been in-laws for generations, and they have always coexisted and prospered, in addition to the Eight Banners bandits in front of them, your department also has more than 10,000 cavalry troops serving under the account of Yue Le, the prince of Jiangxi Puppet Qing'an, and our big man is their mortal enemy, and now you suddenly say that you want to form an alliance with us, it's really hard to believe!" ”
"Lord Wang, can't you see that the Qing people have been spurned by Changshengtian, and our Horqin is just acting according to Changshengtian's will, not that he is not unkind!" Zamu merged without hesitation, and talked eloquently without changing his face, "Please rest assured that the prince and Lord Wang, after forming an alliance with the king, we will recall the warriors of the expedition to the Central Plains, and draw a clear line with the Qing people from now on!" ”
Lin Feng and Wang Shirong looked at each other, there was still such a reason? Immortal Heaven is really a good thing, it seems that this thing and what God Buddha are all the way, a magic weapon of full protection, anyway, no matter what you encounter, you can sacrifice it, keep it and use it and others can't pick thorns. Lin Feng couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Not bad, not bad, since it is the meaning of Immortal Heaven, it must not be wrong, your ministry is like this...... That piety is really admired in the next place! ”
Zamuhe's face turned red, then he bent over and said respectfully, "If His Royal Highness the King of Han is willing, we will send troops together tonight to solve these Manchu remnants, and then we will make a bloody alliance to fight against Zhungar!" ”
"Really?! That's great! This king doesn't have any opinion! Lin Feng said with a smile, "But I'm a timid person, and I don't dare to go out when it's dark, I don't know if Prince Buryagma has any good ideas?!" ”
"His Royal Highness King Han is too modest! Since this matter is proposed by our Horqin, it will definitely let you see our sincerity, please rest assured! Zamuhe ignored Lin Feng's ridicule, and said solemnly, "Actually, before I came out, our prince had everything ready, and now there are more than 8,000 people left in these Eight Banners, stationed on the right side of the camp, tonight at the third watch, we will first send people to set fire to the camp, and then the army will attack, block their back road, and drive them towards the prince's side," he put his hands together and made a gesture of encirclement, and then raised his palms and slashed hard, "We can't ask you to do anything, But you'll know what to do then!! ”
After this despicable political deal was reached, Zamuhe quietly sneaked back, to be honest, Lin Feng will be suspicious of this matter, the biggest question at present is whether Geerdan's army really came over, if this matter is true, then Korqin's words can be regarded as credible, on the other hand, if this news is not true, then this is a trap to lure the Han army.
Intuitively speaking, Lin Feng still believed eighty percent in his heart, in the end, if this was a trick, it was undoubtedly the most clumsy trick he had ever seen, things like this basically only happened in the mouth of the storyteller, and it was indeed difficult to use it in actual combat, no matter whether he believed it or not, Lin Feng would be able to prevent it, so even if they succeeded, their results would definitely not be great, and at night their own battalion defense was lax, and it was more likely that Lin Feng would plan and pay a terrible price.
When Zamuhe left, Wang Shirong immediately asked Lin Feng for guilt, of course, Lin Feng naturally did not lose his temper, because the war took place in the distant Mongolian steppe, and the current intelligence agencies of the Han army did not infiltrate, so of course this information speed can not catch up with the Horqin transmitted by the Pegasus meteor, this intelligence problem is indeed a headache, so far, the Han army has suffered two big losses in Horqin alone, one is the previous sudden declaration of war, and the other is the sudden truce just now, The Han army has always been in this very passive situation, but under the current conditions, no one can do anything, you must know that many places in Mongolia and the Northeast are thousands of miles uninhabited, and it is normal to walk for ten days and half a month without meeting people, so this espionage work is not something that anyone can do, unlike the Central Plains, which is densely populated, and spies who scatter a lot of money and money.
Despite this, Lin Feng immediately issued an order for the whole army to standby, and when it was the third watch, the coalition battalion on the opposite side really caught fire at the right time, the scorching firelight became bigger and bigger, and it burned quickly, and the red fire suddenly reflected the entire sky, and after a while, the voices of the people were boiling, and the bewildered soldiers of the Eight Banners were running around like headless flies, and the war horses neighed for a long time, and rushed out of the stables one by one and ran wildly, and the sound of gunpowder ignition and explosion shook the heavens and the earth, and from time to time rushed into the sky like meteors, Fireworks bloom in the night.
Lin Feng held the monocular and observed carefully, and by this time, he was already sure that Horqin had fulfilled his promise, because as far as he could see, the war horses lost by the coalition army just now had exceeded three thousand, and they were all tall Liaodong war horses, which were the standard equipment of the Eight Banners cavalry a few days ago.
After a while, the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, the hooves behind the coalition army were like thunder, and the red rockets suddenly shot like raindrops, so that there was no room for recovery on the right side of the fire-burning battalion, and a large group of soldiers of the Eight Banners were embarrassed and rushed on foot towards the Han army front, Lin Feng could see clearly, in addition to having no war horses, these soldiers also lost all their weapons, not even war knives, many people were unclothed and anxious, and they gathered into a group and ran blindly in all directions.
Without giving them any respite, the ghosts of the Mongolian iron cavalry generally appeared on both sides of the camp, screaming loudly and rushing over, the bowstring sounded chaotically, and the long arrows were like clouds, instantly shooting the soldiers on the periphery into hedgehogs, and the iron flow was rolling and rampage, unscrupulously slashing and killing the comrades in arms a moment ago, and the fire of the camp behind them was blazing, dyeing this battlefield red, and tens of thousands of Han soldiers on the Han army camp stood awe-inspiring, looking at the scene of flesh and blood flying in front of them in disbelief.
Suddenly, the camp of the Qing army sounded a desolate horn, the drum was weak, and it was difficult to extend from the other end of the battlefield, in a sea of fire, thousands of cavalry suddenly killed, a battle flag overflowed, as if fluttering in the wind, thousands of people shouted angrily, and for a while suppressed the roar of tens of thousands of Mongolian troops, Lin Feng hurriedly raised the monoculars, and the panicked defeated soldiers just now, although this Eight Banners Iron Cavalry was also undressed and incomplete, but everyone looked sad and angry, and desperately rushed back and forth to kill the Mongolian Iron Cavalry, The fierce warriors had no scruples at all, they were all fighting in one faction for one life, and in a few breaths, they actually broke through the encirclement of the Mongol army and crashed straight towards the Han army front.
"Pengchun!! …… It's Pengchun!! Ma Ying, who was standing solemnly beside him, suddenly changed color, and shouted wildly, "...... Lord! …… That's Pengchun!! ”
Lin Feng squinted his eyes, carefully looked at the two tattered military flags on the battlefield, and then said happily, "Okay!" - Then ask General Ma to seek justice for the brothers!! ”
Ma Ying, who was extremely excited, responded loudly, immediately jumped on the war horse, and thousands of Han army iron cavalry roared out, straight to the battlefield, the iron hooves broke the silence in front of the formation, and the defeated soldiers of the Eight Banners who were lucky enough to escape the encirclement and suppression of the Mongolian army stepped into a piece of flesh, and collided head-on with the remnants of the Eight Banners.
Under the combined efforts of the two armies, the remaining thousands of cavalry of the Eight Banners suddenly collapsed, divided into several units to fight separately, at this time the disparity in strength, although everyone has the heart to fight to the death, but the armor is not complete and the weapons are not neat, the battle still presents a one-sided situation. This small clearing is really destined to be soaked in blood and water today, a few hours ago, the bodies of those killed in the battle during the day have not been moved, and new corpses are paved layer by layer, and tens of thousands of iron horsemen are fighting and fighting in this pile of corpses.
King Horqin finally reappeared, the horn was high-pitched and the drum sounded like a tide, in the midst of the raging fire, it was thousands of Mongolian iron cavalry rushing into the battlefield, intercepting several Eight Banner cavalry who intended to highlight the encirclement, the Mongolian warriors made a sound like shouting cattle, and the iron cavalry was neatly arrayed in layers, like a copper wall and iron wall, forcing the remnants of the Eight Banners to retreat one after another, seeing that the matter was in a hurry, several Qing army generals shouted loudly, and the iron cavalry suddenly turned around, turned the horse's head and rushed towards Ma Ying's Han army iron cavalry to kill, at this time everyone was desperate, and the Eight Banners cavalry was desperately beating the war horse, Wave after wave of horses regardless of life and death collided, and finally removed a gap with human flesh, and a large group of remnants of the army took advantage of the gap to kill and galloped towards Lin Feng's position.
"Raise your gun!! ......Seeing that the Qing army was advancing more and more, the officers of the Han army unanimously issued a long command, and the muzzles of 10,000 cold and ruthless guns were suddenly raised, aiming at the Qing cavalry!
"King Han!! ......" Suddenly, the leader of the general hissed and shouted, and the voice came from afar, "His Royal Highness the King of Han!" …… Sabu is willing to surrender!! …… Sabu is willing to surrender!! ”
Lin Feng raised his hand, and Rick hurriedly ordered to suspend the firing. When he looked up, he saw that the Qing army was able to run to the range of the Han army's muskets, and suddenly reined in the horse's head, and the general led by jumped off his horse and knelt on the ground, hissing loudly, "King Han!" I am Sabusu, and I am willing to serve His Highness!! ”
Lin Feng looked at Sabsu suspiciously, not knowing what to say for a while, but Rick suddenly stood out and shouted, "General Sa and your subordinates plan to surrender, you should put down your weapons and walk slowly!" ”
Hearing Rick's call, Sabu Su hurriedly ordered, thousands of Qing troops immediately dismounted together, dropped their weapons, and walked over on foot, only to delay for a moment, the Mongolian iron cavalry has been killed, worthy of the remnants of the Eight Banners, the Han artillery on the hill immediately fired a warning shot, the Mongolian army was helpless, Qi Qi held the war horse, and looked at the Eight Banners cavalry who surrendered unwillingly.
Before he got closer, Sabu Su led thousands of soldiers to bow down again, and knelt down all over the ground, "His Royal Highness the King of Han!" Sinner, please surrender! ”
Under the escort of the guards, Lin Feng slowly rode his horse down the mountain, and when he got closer, he laughed and said, "General Sabusu, please get up, I have admired the name for a long time, and I can see you today, how fortunate it is!" ”
At this moment, Sabu Su was embarrassed, there was still the demeanor of a famous general, his face was full of gunsmoke and dust, his eyes were red and full of tears, hearing Lin Feng teasing, he raised his head violently, stared straight at Lin Feng, and hugged his fists, "Your Highness, the last general knows that he is guilty of a lot of sin, and he will not be allowed to see the Han army. ”
Lin Feng was stunned, "I didn't say I was going to kill you!" He looked at the crowd behind him, and suddenly let out a long sigh, "Sabu Sujiu Town Border Pass, everyone says that he is a good man, I really didn't think you would surrender!" ”
Hearing Lin Feng's emotion, Sabu Su couldn't bear it anymore, the tears in the tiger's eyes couldn't help flowing down, he gritted his teeth, and said angrily, "The prince doesn't know, since last year, this battle has not stopped, first with the Rakshasa people, and then against the prince, until now, our Manchurian Eight Banners have long since withered, and now the young and strong men are only behind the general!" His face showed endless pain and helplessness, "Sabusu's surrender is nothing but an insult to a person's reputation and a defilement of a person's grave; Sabu did not surrender, but he cut off the sacrifice of the Jurchen ancestors and cut off the blood of the Manchurians!! ”
Lin Feng was shocked and turned his head to look at Wang Shirong. I saw Wang Shirong groaning for a while, and then leaned into his ear and whispered, "Lord, not my race, his heart will be different, this generation has to come down as a last resort, I am afraid that I am still unconvinced, if I stay in the future, it will be infinitely harmful!" ……”
Seeing Lin Feng hesitating, Sabu Su suddenly leaned down, fell to the ground with five bodies, and said loudly, "If the King of Han can live my Manchurian clan, the last general is willing to divide the corpses of five horses and cut thousands of knives to atone for his previous sins, and even if he dies without a full corpse, he will not dare to have half a point of resentment!" ”
"Your sins are not something you can atone for, and it is not your responsibility alone!" Lin Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "But right now, the Great Qing Dynasty still has three princes and hundreds of thousands of troops in the Central Plains, so you surrendered like this, are you worthy of them?!" ”
Sabu Su said angrily, "Can they still be regarded as Manchurians?" The flower world of the Central Plains is mysterious, and the clansmen outside our customs have shed blood and suffered a lot, is it just for them to enjoy the jade silk children of the Central Plains?! ”
Lin Feng was slightly stunned, then laughed, and said happily, "Well said!" - I allow you to surrender, you don't have to die, and your Manchurian children don't have to die! From now on, you will be my people! He raised his hand, stopped Wang Shirong's persuasion, and said with a smile, "Huang Taiji can use Hong Chengchou and Dolgon dare to use Wu Sangui, can't I use a Sabusu?!" Turning his head to look around, he said with a smile, "Could it be that this king's bearing is not even as good as a Eight Banner chief?!" ”
Wang Shirong was dumbfounded and speechless. At this time, the sound of fighting on the battlefield in front gradually cooled down, with the surrender of the largest remnant army of Sabusu, most of the other Qing troops have been annihilated by the Mongolian and Han cavalry, at this time there are only hundreds of Qing troops left in the field to rush back and forth, the battle flag is broken but the fight is endless, staring at it, it is vaguely the battle flag of Pengchun.
"Sabusu, you go and persuade Peng Chun and let him surrender too!" Lin Feng sighed slightly, raised his hand and ordered Sabu Su to stand up and follow, and then lightly clamped the horse's belly and led his own soldiers towards the battlefield.
From the battle to now, Ma Ying's troops have been fighting for more than half an hour, seeing that Peng Chun's cavalry is fighting less and less, from nearly two thousand people were killed to only two hundred people, but he has always been unable to eliminate him, the remaining eight banner iron horsemen are all skilled in riding and martial arts, and the war horses under the crotch are also very handsome, although they can't stand out of the encirclement but can't trap it to death, at present, the Mongolian and Han coalition forces are cooperating with tacit understanding step by step to tighten the encirclement, their space for activities is getting narrower and narrower, but there is still more than conflict, everyone is crazy, Non-stop slashing.
Looking up, Peng Chun's figure was in front of him, at this time his armor was scattered and embarrassed, his face was black and red and full of blood, and the broken arrow shafts could be seen everywhere on his shoulders, back, arms, ribs and even arms and thighs, and he didn't know how many arrows he had been hit, and the blood on his body kept dripping down, and even the war horse was dyed red, and his long braids didn't know when he was cut off. Desperately rushing back and forth.
I don't know why, seeing the enemy like this, I actually had a little admiration in my heart out of thin air, and when I saw him rushing over again, Ma Ying grabbed the horse's head and shouted loudly, "Peng Chun, you are a man in a dog day, Lao Tzu Ma Ying has subdued you-why don't you descend?!" ”
Peng Chun laughed miserably, slashed at the enemy soldiers around him with a knife, and laughed, "Peng Chun will not surrender!" ……”
The strings sounded in unison, the feather arrows broke through the air and flew wildly, Peng Chunden was hit by an arrow again, he backhanded a knife, cut off the arrow shaft, blood sprayed but unconscious, he laughed wildly, the long knife rolled over, and cut off a Mongolian cavalry off the horse, angry horses like dragons, rampage, will be in front of the bareback empty horse crashed into the air, the rear hooves are like thunder, and a large group of cavalry killed, the word "Han" is flying high, a general rushed to the front, crying loudly, "Peng Chun...... I am Sabusu, and I have descended to the king of Han! Seeing that Sabusu was covered in blood, Sabusu burst into tears and cried bitterly, "Save some vitality for our Manchuria...... Let's go down!! ”
Peng Chun turned his head when he heard the sound, glanced at Sabu Su, and suddenly roared loudly, his bright red eyes were almost dripping blood, and he shouted angrily, "Peng Chun does not fall!" ……”
Suddenly, a long arrow flew diagonally, hitting the hooves and wrists of the war horse, the war horse neighed and screamed, and could no longer support it, a staggered and rolled to the ground, lifting Peng Chun far away, his body rolled rapidly, and his head hit a horse corpse heavily, before he stopped castration, and hundreds of horsemen of the Mongolian and Han armies immediately surrounded him and wrapped him tightly in the core.
After struggling for a long time, Peng Chun slowly stood up with a long knife in his hand, shook his head blankly and looked left and right, hundreds of iron horsemen surrounded him, and hundreds of strong bows were pulled out together, aiming at him tightly. Lin Feng rode his horse forward slowly, and said gently, "General Pengchun, now your army has no chance of victory, why not surrender to the widows, or plan for the future of the Eight Banners of Manchuria!" ”
Peng Chun's teeth were clenched, his majestic body trembled uncontrollably, blood was gurgling, and in a moment, he had accumulated a mess on the ground, he stared at Lin Feng, shook his head incessantly, and said with difficulty, "Peng Chun...... No drop! …… Friend...... Spring...... No drop! ......" suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, and he struggled to lift the long knife, and it seemed to rush towards the forest wind.
"Bang ......" with a soft sound, random arrows were fired, the strong force was thrown backwards with the body, and he fell heavily to the ground, Peng Chun reluctantly raised his head, threw a regretful look at Lin Feng, the long knife in his hand fell off, and he lay down quietly.
The north wind whines, and the earth is peaceful.
