837 Azig provokes the anger of the people
As one of the most important cities in the Ming Dynasty, Datong City is extremely strong and tall, and there are three urn cities in each of the four city gates.
Such a city is already very unusual, and on the outside of the four corners of the square city, there is a tall and sturdy military control platform.
In the event of an enemy attack, the four control stations can not only observe the movement and distribution of the enemy outside and under the city during the war, and inform the defenders inside the city, but also serve as batteries to carry out tyranny against the enemy with crossfire.
These are not counted, outside the city gate of Datong, there is also a gate, outside the city gate has become a defensive pass and system.
Such a Datong city can be said to be impregnable, and it also made Dolgon under the desperate resistance of the Datong defenders, although he used more than 400,000 main troops of the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners, but it took a year to gnaw off a single city brick.
Of course, Dolgon knew how strong Datong really was, and he had attacked countless times during this time, but he couldn't take it, so he was not in a hurry in the end, and then slowed down his pace, and only launched one or two attacks a day.
Early in the morning, Dolgon was promoted to the general, and he was still ready to let Zuo Mengeng attack, but Azig beside him couldn't bear it, and he said to Dolgon with a big grin: "The regent can't expect to rely on the Han army of Zhenghuang Banner to take Datong City, and I need to personally lead the troops to attack once to set an example for these Han troops." ”
Dolgon thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no reason to refuse his brother, so he could only say: "It's okay, since my brother is willing to lead by example, my army will have to rely on it today, and the generals in the tent will also cheer behind my brother!" ”
After that, Azig went in a hurry, something like this, in the Aixin Jueluo family, there is nothing surprising, taking the lead in the charge is a habit of boosting morale in the Aixin Jueluo family whenever the war is unfavorable.
Didn't King Lao Han also be injured by Yuan Chonghuan's cannon under Ningyuan City because of this? However, who is the old King Han, Qing history records that two months after King Han was injured, he was able to lead his troops to conquer the Mongolian Khalkha Department.
If it weren't for Mao Wenlong helping the Mongols dig out his nest, taking advantage of the emptiness in the rear of the Jin army to hit Liaoyang, forcing the old Han king to immediately send his troops back to help, the Khalkha Department should have been destroyed at that time, how could there be that Azig wanted to conquer the Khalkha Department this time, which triggered Jiang Xiang's miscalculation and rebellion?
But although our Prince Ying is also the son of the old Khan, he is very naughty, first because he robbed someone's bride on the street of Datong, Jiang Xiang asked him for it, and he was beaten by him, so that Jiang Xiang turned around and played with him, and also caused him to jump off the city wall and escape.
How high is the Datong city wall, Prince Ying's light work can be described as a must.
Seeing that the army was besieging Datong City for a long time, Azig may have felt that this was his own stabbing basket, so he wanted to make up for it.
Dolgon led the generals of the tent on horseback, escorted Azig out of the gate, and stood not far from the moat to cheer for Azig.
Azig is also high-spirited, with 5,000 elite soldiers behind him, bent on making a difference for the Zuomengeng Han army, which has been unable to attack for a long time.
However, the 5,000 elites attacked the eastern pass of the city for a full morning, and the sun had just risen, and Azig's army was tired and lay down.
The loss of the siege was naturally not small, and Azig was discouraged and had no choice but to prepare to collect his troops and return to the camp to continue to accept the cynicism of everyone.
At this moment, in the direction of Wanshou Pavilion in Dongguan, many people in Datong City rushed out, and they killed them one by one with swords, guns, swords, and halberds.
It is said that it is the people, but there is no difference between this Datong City and Tongguan, and it can be said that it is better than Tongguan.
Most of the people in the city are from military families, and Datong can't help but be tall and strong, and the whole Datong city is actually a big barracks.
I heard that Azig was attacking Datong with his team today, and it was really the enemy who was very angry when they saw each other, and the people were rushing to beat Prince Ying one by one.
But it is true that Azig owes a lot to the people of Datong, and he has no intention of paying it back.
If other Qing generals attacked the city, they might not be able to provoke such a big reaction from the people, but Azig not only shouldn't have come, but also let his 5,000 Qing troops eat melons and falls.
Jiang Xiang took advantage of Azig's public anger in Datong and suddenly sent a group of military households and civilians who had been bullied by him out of the city to attack, and the Qing army was caught off guard and was scattered.
Once the power of the masses was aroused, it was not easy to provoke, and the military households quickly chased after them, the pontoon bridge was very narrow, and the Qing army was helpless, and most of them were surrounded in the moat and could not escape.
In front of him were people who were full of hatred and demanded Azig's life, Azig wanted to escape, but many of his soldiers fell on the road leading to the pontoon bridge, and there was a group of uncles and aunts on the pontoon bridge of the moat, and Azig did not dare to move forward.
This group of old men and old ladies are probably people who have lost their daughters and daughters-in-law in their families, and he can't calculate how many evil things Azig himself has done in Datong.
Those old people, although their legs and feet are trembling, but their eyes are on fire.
When the crutch was knocked down, his hands didn't tremble at all, and the Qing soldiers were holding their heads and running around, Jiang Xiang's shells and arrows had long been used up, but today suddenly there were again.
Under the bow and arrow fire at the head of the city and the three-dimensional blows of the pursuers under the city, Azig's losses became greater and greater.
Azig thought about it and felt that if it continued like this, it would definitely be over, there was congestion on the pontoon bridges everywhere, the defeated army could not escape, and the reinforcements could not rush up.
What should I do? If you can't escape from the bridge, you have to cross the moat, but Azig is a landlubber.
No matter how fast the horse is, as soon as it reaches the water, the man will become a weighing stone and sink to the bottom.
So he said to himself: "I still can't, I have to think of something else, even if a boat comes, I may not dare to sit on it, what can I do?" I'm afraid this life will be cut off today! ”
Dolgon and the others were also looking at the river and sighing, no matter how anxious they were, but there was nothing they could do.
Even so, he mobilized a lot of men and horses from the camp to storm the pontoon bridge to rescue Prince Ying.
And Azig, who is struggling to save himself, finally saw a glimmer of light, in the final analysis, he is still a person with a way, just like when he jumped from the fourteen-meter-high Datong City, no matter what kind of difficulties and obstacles, he can't stop Azig's naughty and romantic heart.
The wise and martial Prince Ying has never taken the usual path, and that time the Prince Ying jumped off such a high city wall, and he didn't even have any ground, and he could limp and run for dozens of miles, and the speed of running was so fast, even the rabbit was his grandson.
