The relationship between chance and necessity has always been a topic of great interest among philosophers.

Philosophers define necessity as referring to the inevitable and unwavering tendency that must occur in the change and development of objective things. It occupies a dominant position in the process of the development of things, and stipulates the future and direction of the development of things. Inevitability is characterized by certainty.

And by chance, there is no such thick waist and tall background. It refers to the uncertain tendency that changes and develops objective things are not inevitable and inevitable, but may or may not appear, and can appear this way or that.

The relationship between the two, as the philosophers prescribed, is that in contingency there is necessity, and any contingency is always subordinated to necessity. The two work together.

But the military commanders and politicians hated the serendipity that the philosophers never tired of. In their opinion, this kind of accident is extremely destructive. Often, a small factor can ruin a huge plan and a career.

For example, a few bullets from Princip sent Archduke Ferdinand to God, and a few years later, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which he was supposed to take over, the German Empire as an ally, and the Russian Empire of his cousin's family, became his burial objects.

For example, the accidental artillery shell in the Battle of Verdun destroyed tens of thousands of shells, ruined the German army's plans, and saved the Entente from a dying situation.

What is happening on the battlefield in Liaodong at the moment also provides a good example for philosophers.

Cao Zhenyan's two shells were originally intended to be used against the attacking array of the Guards Brigade, but because the gunner's technical level was too poor, Yan Zhan Zhòng deviated from the expected target, but as a result, he received a strange effect of a crooked hit.

Not to mention breaking Li Huamei's handsome flag, even the owner of this handsome flag was accidentally broken two ribs. Cannot command from standing.

"Quick! Carry the county lord down! Lu Ying's brothers, follow me up and beat these bitches! ”

At this time of great chaos, the perseverance in Shi Lang's character played a role, ordering several female soldiers to escort Li Huamei back, and ordering the fat girl to re-erect the handsome flag. Use the flag and horn sound to inform Lu Yunsheng and the others that the county lord is fine, just attack forward!

Seeing Li Huamei's handsome banner standing in place, and seeing the arrival of the brigade, the officers and men of the Guards Brigade suddenly became relieved and turned into anger. "Damn, let's just bombard us with a cannon, and you dare to attack the eldest lady! It's a fucking rumor-mongering, what a damn thing! ”

Hongluo Mountain to Baitai Mountain, a narrow corridor. Suddenly, there was an even more intense sound of gunfire and shouts of killing than just now.

Different from the completely white-knuckle hand-to-hand combat just now, the officers and men of the Guards Brigade who rushed up in this wave were completely ruthless and adopted a method that was very unsophisticated in the eyes of others: the fire gun was filled with medicine, and the fire gun rushed to the front to fight with the hideous-looking Liao thieves, and pulled the trigger face to face, knocking the Liao thieves in front of them to the ground one by one.

Emotions and tactics were combined in one place, and the Guards Brigade immediately advanced smoothly.

"Good! Brothers, do a little bit more. This gang of thieves is finished! ”

Lu Yunsheng excitedly pushed the helmet upward, letting his sweaty forehead be blown by the wind.

"Lu Xietong! This battle can't be fought again! ”

Shi Lang appeared in front of Lu Yunsheng with a nervous expression. "We need to withdraw to the camp!"

"Why! I only need to take one more step forward, and I will completely separate the thieves in front of me from the enemies of Tower Mountain, and surround Tower Mountain Dolgon! ”

"Lu Xietong, look!"

He followed the direction of Shi Lang's finger and looked in the direction of Tashan to the east, but when he saw that the Ming army flag was in chaos, he retreated one after another. Only Wu Sangui's handsome banner was still slowly retreating under the escort of several flags, but it was also powerless in the face of the crazy counterattack of the white flag. In the direction of Baitai Mountain, a large number of Zhengbai Banner banners are moving rapidly, obviously the main force of Zhengbai Banner to help.

At the most critical moment, Guan Ningjun once again gave full play to his skills as a professional teammate.

The mountains were full of Jiannu shouting the news of Li Huamei's death. In an era when the means of communication were extremely primitive and could only rely on banners, golden drums, and heralds to convey messages, the blow to the morale of the military was huge. Although after the Shuai Banner was knocked down by artillery fire, Shi Lang reacted very quickly and ordered someone to re-erect the Shuai Banner, and passed the news in the language of drums and trumpets and flags, and the county lord was unharmed. But. As soon as the Guan Ning Army came, they couldn't understand the military horn of the Nanyue Army, they couldn't understand the flag language, and they even lost the flag of the original Ming Army, so how could they master the means of communication of the Nanyue Army in a short period of time? Second, the handsome banner that was re-erected was naturally much shorter, which confirmed the shouts of the anti-thieves in Liaodong in a certain way.

For a time, the morale of the army was in turmoil.

However, this was not the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The last straw was added to the thin camel of Guan Ningjun, who were originally watching and cheering on the edge of the battlefield and preparing to fight for themselves in the future success question book.

Originally, on the edge of the battlefield, while watching the artillery fire in the sky, shouting and killing constantly, while chanting poems and searching for dry intestines, it was also a so-called heroic and beautiful thing by Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong, and Zhang Ruoqi, the staff of the Ministry of War, Zhang Ruoqi and others, just like the feeling when Cao Cao, the Emperor of Wei Wu, wrote poems on Chibi.

This Zhang Ruoqi and Zhang Langzhong are the real power figures of the Ministry of War, and they are quite important to Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, otherwise they would not have been sent to the battlefield in Liaodong to accumulate merits. The Ministry of War he served in, the full name of which is the "Department of Officials of the Ministry of Staff", is one of the four divisions of the Ming Dynasty, which is in charge of the maps of the provinces, the merits of military officials, the verification, rewards and punishments, pensions, and the review and test of the military. There is a lot of power. Originally, during the Wanli and Apocalypse years, his official position was that the head of the Nine Sides had to kneel down and kowtow when he saw it. However, since the Chongzhen Dynasty, the military attachés in the DPRK and China have gradually become dominant, so that these officials who were born in the right way of science and technology can't help but sigh when they think of the great achievements of their predecessors.

Today, at the foot of Hongluo Mountain, several adults drank and wrote poems, and in their hearts, they gave this group of martial artists great glory. Unexpectedly, the battlefield suddenly erupted in the ecstatic roar of the thieves, conveying a terrible news. Seeing that Li Huamei's handsome flag fell, although it soon stood up again, it also brought great panic to these adults.

In that year, Li Shimin fought against Song Laosheng, a famous general of the Sui army. Wang Shichong dealt with Li Mi of the Wagang Army, and he used to create false information on the battlefield that the enemy's commander was captured, so as to confuse the opponent and create panic and confusion among the enemy army. The gap is just that Li Shimin ordered his subordinates to shout to catch Song Laosheng, and Wang Shichong chose a person similar to Li Mi's image among his subordinates to impersonate.

However, these are far less powerful than the artillery fire that destroyed the handsome flag!

The guys immediately became terrified!

"Quick! Bring the Fubiao back! ”

The first to lose his breath was Qiu Minyang. As a magistrate in Liaodong, he knows the power of the thieves in Liaodong, and he has always killed Nurhachi and Huang Taiji several times by the official army, and he has never heard that the thieves in Liaodong have lied about their war exploits. I'm afraid that the next step is that Dorgon is going to attack in a big way!

So, he was busy ordering his subordinates to transfer back the soldiers of the Fubiao battalion who had made great contributions on the battlefield and protected them by his side.

Hundreds of pro-soldiers of the Fubiao battalion were originally just a drop in the ocean on the battlefield of tens of thousands of people, but at this time when people's hearts were fluctuating. The mobilization of Fubiao's personal soldiers undoubtedly set an extremely bad example for the floating military spirit.

"Run!"

Tens of thousands of Ming soldiers let out a wail in their hearts with extreme fear, Fubiao has run away, what are we still doing here? Won't we take our lives to give the old man time to escape?

In the screams of countless people, the ranks of the Ming army broke up like a swarm of bees that had blown up their nests, and countless routs fled in all directions, letting out a heart-rending howl.

First there was a battalion, followed by three battalions and five battalions, and in the blink of an eye, the left flank, the middle army, the rear army, and the right flank spread like a plague. The entire front quickly collapsed.

"Ancestors and ancestors bless!"

Exhausted for the final moments, Duoduo snorted in a gritty, dry voice. Order the officers under your command not to fight back at this time, not to chase and kill, and when?! Since the start of the Tashan War, the two white flag soldiers and horses who have been pressed and beaten by the Ming army have not taken care of the fatigue of fighting hard for days at this time. One by one, wielding knives and guns, as if stepping on hot wheels, they chased and climbed between the trenches and trenches, and they didn't care about the ruggedness under their feet, so they fell down and got up to continue chasing. Caught up, according to the back of the heart is a knife. The Ming army didn't dare to turn back, but just rushed forward.

"Dashuai, what should we do?!"

A leader of the Wu family's family asked Wu Sangui with an anxious face, and the other family's armies retreated like the ebb tide of the sea, leaving only the main barracks of Ningyuan Town, and Wu Sangui's family wolf cavalry exposed under the blade of the white flag.

"Dashuai, should we catch up, or should we retreat quickly?!"

Wu Sangui's face was pale, the muscles on his face were twitching with the spear in his hand, and he could see that he was gritting his teeth, and finally squeezed out two words from his mouth: "A bunch of waste!" ”

"The family is in the forefront! The main soldier corps gathered the defeated soldiers, and the wolf cavalry covered the artillery team to evacuate first! ”

Wu Sangui's ability to command his subordinates is indeed one of the best in the Guanning army. The command came out of his mouth, and he immediately put it into action. Two or three thousand families lined up in front, each holding swords, guns and firearms, and was ready to meet the white flag military horses. And the main barracks under his command were gathered together in one place after the two wings of the family disarmed, and they were detained with knives and guns, and the team was slowly closed.

Collecting the rout soldiers and heavy artillery all the way, Wu Sangui looked north at the white flags that were chasing and killing those routs of the Ming army, and he didn't know whether it was blood or tears in his eyes.

"Just one more step forward! One step forward! A big win is all it takes! ”

He couldn't stop muttering to himself.

"Handsome! Don't blame yourself too much! The hearts of the various armies are different, and it is the fault of the commander that they are defeated! After we go back, we just take the opportunity to rectify the soldiers and horses, with the eloquence of the commander, a little time, I am afraid that we will not be able to have a strong army in hand to be driven?! ”

It was Wu Jingsi's words that touched Wu Sangui's heart.

The Qing army pursued the Ming army with a white flag, and even used the main force of the white flag to aid Baitai Mountain, trying to repel or even defeat the Guards Brigade.

Unexpectedly, what was waiting for them was Shi Lang's four sailors and land battalions in a phalanx, blocking the offensive line of the white flag.

Quietly, there was silence in the ranks of thousands of people, only the whistling of the wind as it blew. This kind of murderous atmosphere is in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle on the battlefield. It caused a huge deterrent effect on the reinforcements of the white flag.

But. The huge results in the direction of Tashan, but also with great temptation, lured the soldiers and horses of the white flag to try to step forward to defeat the southern barbarian army in front of them, and swept away the decadent and depressed atmosphere since the start of the war.

"Kill! Kill Nikan! Kill the Nanban! ”

One of the people who got a share of the Shku, who didn't know whether it was motivated by courage or a nervous breakdown by the sheer pressure, carried a short-handled crescent axe in his right hand. Holding two huge bones in his left hand, he led more than a dozen armored soldiers to rush out of the queue and rushed straight to the array of the naval division's land battalion.

Kan Kan threw the bone in his hand out, and before he had time to see how effective the killing effect was, a burst of bean-like fire sounded in his ears. In the ranks of the naval division and land battalion, a small smoke rose, and in front of the array, more than a dozen corpses lay crookedly, and several wounded Liao thief soldiers struggled to escape for their lives.

More than a dozen soldiers of the Marine Division and Land Battalion rushed out of the queue at a trot. The snow-bright spurs in his hands quickly stabbed the bodies of these Liao thief soldiers a few times, and even raised the blood-drenched spurs demonstratively, and shook them a few times towards the soldiers and horses of the Zhengbai Banner dozens of steps away, signaling that if they were not satisfied, they would come to fight!

The appearance of the sailor Lu Ying made Dolgon, who came later, amazed in his heart, he could still have such a bearing at this time, and he could be so calm. Don't panic, the flag line is neat. Sure enough, the Nanyue Army lived up to its name. Won the battle, won the tough battle, and also won the lost battle.

"Leave a Jiala people to monitor the Nanyue army. But if they do not attack, they must not rush in and die. The rest of the people are all going with this king to reinforce Prince Yu! Today, we must completely defeat the Guanning army! ”

A group of men and horses were left behind for battlefield surveillance. Dolgon led most of his troops back to Tashan to reinforce Duoduo and defeat the Guanning army. Looking at the distant weaving gold dragon, Shi Lang was also relieved.

The Nanyue Army and the Zhengbai Banner were facing each other from a distance, and the Guards Brigade and the Marine Division Army Battalion were alternately covering, carrying the wounded and the remains of the dead robes. Slowly retreated to the Hongluo Mountain camp. Following the retreating route of the Nanyue army, Zhengbai Banner slowly followed, trying to find some results, but unexpectedly, almost not even a helmet was abandoned. It is very disappointing to the Liao thieves who have always been accustomed to making money on the battlefield.

To Duoduo's surprise, in addition to the second brother's main force of the White Banner returning to the division for reinforcements, there were two unexpected reinforcements.

A burst of cheers came from behind Tashan Fort, and two torrents of Qing troops rushed out. The reinforcements that fell from the sky suddenly boosted the confidence of the Qing army, and they just chased after the Ming army.

The Ming army, which was already in a panic, saw that there were many Qing soldiers rolling behind Tashan Fort, pouring down like a mudslide, with a huge impact, invincible, no one could stop them.

"Manchuria is a white flag!"

"Manchuria with yellow flags!"

Some people looked at the banner in the Qing army's array from a distance, and they were suddenly terrified.

Yes, it was the two groups of men and horses from Manchuria with the White Flag and Manchuria with the Yellow Flag who came, although the number was not large, but at this juncture, it added a lot of momentum to the Qing army.

"Master! Master! ”

Dong Eshuo was very excited to find Dolgon's dragon under the city of Tashan Fort, and brought the reinforcement generals of Manchuria with the yellow flag to Dolgon, who was ordered by Huang Taiji to transport the looted military supplies to Tashan.

Aobai, whose leg injury had not yet healed, limped and was about to kowtow to Dolgon, but was stopped by Dolgon: "Aobai, how many people have you brought?" ”

"The master of Prince Huirui, the slaves only came with grain and grass medicine and other things, and met Dong E Shuo Zhangjing on the way, and heard that the master was fighting here, so the servants had the courage to put the grain and grass in the rear team, and led less than 2,000 soldiers and horses to help. More than half of Dong E's team and Zhang Jing's team are lightly injured! ”

With this unexpected new force in his hands, and even more so the Ming army that had fled to the sea and was rushing along the coastline in the direction of the Hongluo Mountain camp, Dolgon suddenly had a rather bold idea in his heart.

"Aobai, you have always been known as my first Baturu in Manchuria. This king wants to see the quality of your first Baturu! Take your men and horses, rush down in the direction of Baitai Mountain, and don't mess with the soldiers and horses of the Ming Kingdom who are not in a chaotic formation, just rush the army that has been out of order to this king as chaotic as possible! ”

"Dong Eshuo! You go too! Follow behind the Ao worship team, just capture those Ming soldiers and horses for this king, and use them as coats! Pack up their heavy armor and weapons! ”

At sunset, the battlefield of Tower Hill gradually subsided. This battle, in which the Qing army lost thousands of Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers and horses, and the Baoyi soldiers suffered more than 10,000 casualties, completely changed the course because of Cao Zhenyan's two shells that deviated from the trajectory.

The two brothers, Dorgon and Dodor, couldn't help but have mixed feelings in their hearts when they looked at the 20,000 Dominant prisoners sitting in the open space under the castle of Tower Hill, the mountains of armor and weapons, and dozens of six-pounder guns, eight-pounder guns, and large Buddha machines.

The Ming army camp that can be seen in the distance is dimly lit, and it can be seen that the Ming army has also acquiesced in the outcome of the defeat of this battle.

Suddenly, Dordor fell to his knees on the cold masonry of the city, and began to weep.

His cry immediately resonated with the Qing troops present, and the more than 10,000 Qing troops present cried in unison.

The cry like the howl of the Steppenwolf frightened the Ming army captives at a loss, and the defeated hearts were timid and aggrieved and cried, but how could they win and cry so loudly?

"You know what a fart! This is what Prince Yu's master is showing to the soldiers! After many hard battles and heavy losses among the soldiers, how can you not pay tribute to the dead? ”

Seeing that there was no hope of escaping in the defeated army, Qin Shouren, who immediately led more than 100 families and coerced more than 1,000 defeated soldiers of the Ming army to surrender, explained to several former Ming army officers around him with disdain.

That night, Dolgon took advantage of the victory to pursue, taking Qin Shouren's troops as the leader, pretending to be the Ming army, fraudulently opening the gate of Songshan Fort, and descending with a drum.

In Songshan Fort, the defending general Xia Chengde and the Ming army, except for the remaining troops of the Model Brigade who resisted slightly, the rest surrendered. The garrisons of Datong, Shanxi, and Songshan, as well as the remaining troops of the Model Brigade, were all contained by Dolgon.

Pine Mountain, Tower Mountain, all in the hands of Dolgon!

In this battle, the Dorgon brothers gained greatly. Among the Ming army, except for Wu Sangui's department, which was well established, and because of the containment of the defeated army and the rout, it broke out to rob a lot of money, and the rest of the troops were exhausted.

The line of Tashan, Baitai Mountain, Hongluo Mountain, and Dayu Mountain is full of dead and wounded soldiers of the Ming army. Lost instruments, flags, and dead men and horses were everywhere, and blood stained the coastline blood-red.

After a rough and rough examination of the results of the battle, the prisoners and troops in Songshan and Tashan alone were surrendered, and the Dorgon brothers contained as many as 30,000 or 40,000 people. In addition to these surrendered troops, there are also mountains of artillery equipment, armor, grain, grass and gunpowder, which can be described as a rich harvest. (To be continued......)
