Chapter 679: Wu Sangui, a slave with three surnames
Seeing that the main general was suddenly killed, the thousand Manchurian cavalry were all stunned.
What's going on?
Wu Sangui, this guy, kill the envoys, do you want to rebel?!
"Damn Han dog, they killed our Ezhen!"
"Kill all these damned dogs, despicable Nikan!"
"Kill all these Han dogs and avenge the master of Baiketu!"
They reacted quickly, each brandished their swords and guns, shouted loudly, and rushed forward with their horses and rushed towards Wu Sangui.
Seeing that the commander was threatened, the three thousand Guanning iron cavalry, who had already been eyeing him, immediately rushed forward with a roar and fought with the Manchurian cavalry who rushed over.
When the two cavalry were fighting, Wu Sangui ordered sharply on the side: "All the Guanning iron cavalry obey the order, be sure to kill all these Manchurian remnants to Lao Tzu!" ”
Listening to the order of the main general, the three thousand Guanning iron cavalry became more and more courageous, and they shouted loudly, slashing and killing the 1,000 Manchurian cavalry.
For a while, the two sides fought inextricably, but it was easy to kill.
At this time, the sound of gold was loud, and those soldiers of the Wu army who had been frustrated in the attack, like lost dogs who fled in a hurry, turned around and fled one after another.
A large number of Tang cavalry, like tigers chasing rabbits, chased after the fleeing Wu army, and chased and killed one after another, and one after another the fleeing Wu soldiers fell screaming.
Wangtou's whole army retreated like a tide, allowing the Tang cavalry to chase and kill, and here, his own three thousand Guanning iron cavalry, not only could not draw troops to rescue, but was forced to fight with the thousand Manchurian cavalry, Wu Sangui at this moment, suddenly felt a sadness in his heart.
This is really an extremely absurd and cruel reality.
It's over, and the foundation on which I relied to survive in this troubled world is finally completely lost.
What King Pingxi, what Qing court leans on the pillar, what wealth and glory, all at this moment, completely turned into a dream.
His face was pale, his lips trembled, and after thinking quickly for a while, he shouted at the panicked herald next to him: "Quick, quickly raise the flag and surrender to the Tang army!" ”
Hearing this order, the herald next to him could hardly believe his ears.
They opened their mouths wide and looked at Wu Sangui, whose face was strangely distorted, as if they had not yet reacted from the shock.
No way? The king of Pingxi of the Qing Dynasty, who was deeply trusted by Dolgon, actually wanted to betray the Qing court and surrender on the verge of surrendering, this, this......
"you! Is the dog deaf?! Fly the flag! If you don't fight again, these brothers won't be able to save it! Wu Sangui roared sharply, spat splashed, and his face was distorted and hideous.
The herald did not dare to slack off, nodded like pounding garlic, hurriedly waved the white flag, and waved it in the air with all his might.
Looking at this waving white flag, Wu Sangui's heart suddenly kept dripping blood.
! It's really lucky!
In fact, he didn't want to surrender to the Tang army at all, but when the whole army was defeated, out of the instinct to protect his soldiers, he was angry for a while, and actually killed Bai Ketu who came to supervise the formation with a knife.
Wu Sangui knew that if he had stabbed all this, he would not be able to turn back.
it! it! Lao Tzu into his mother!!
What future official position, what wealth and glory, at such an emergency moment, is not as important as Lao Tzu's own life. At such a time, in order to save his life, why not be a slave of his mother's three surnames! Hugh said that he just killed a Jia Lae Zhen, in order to save his life, it is the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, I also go under the knife without blinking!
After Wu Sangui raised the white flag high in the array, the Tang army quickly reacted.
From a distance, from the clairvoyant mirror, Wu Sangui's white flag was clearly seen, Liu Wenxiu, the commander of the Tang Army, stroked his knees and laughed, while the deputy marshal Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui's own uncle, shook his head helplessly.
"Hmph, Wu Sangui, this guy is forced to fight with our army, and now he is surrendering with a white flag, he is really humiliating, and he is not ashamed!" Liu Wenxiu sneered happily.
"Liu Shuai, now that the soldiers and horses of the Wu Department are willing to surrender, you see ......" Zu Dashou asked in a low voice on the side.
"Allow him to surrender, anyway, this guy is used to surrendering, so what's the matter if he becomes a slave with three surnames. It is also a good thing to save our army from fighting. Liu Wenxiu waved his hand and ordered sharply: "If arranged before the war, allow him to surrender, and the whole army will immediately act according to the plan!" ”
"Ordering!"
Those Tang cavalry, after receiving the military order from the formation, no longer pursued the Wu army's rout, but turned their horses' heads, and then went around to both sides, and went around to the back of the Wu army's main formation, preparing the Wu army's Guanning iron cavalry to flank those Manchurian cavalry who were fighting fiercely.
The Tang army's main formation continued to maintain its formation, advancing like a wall, like a torrent of steel, and quickly pressed towards the Wu army's main formation, never giving the Wu army any time to breathe.
At this moment, seeing such a great change in the situation, Wu Sangui's gang actually surrendered to the Tang army, so as not to be wiped out by the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Tang Army, those Manchurian cavalry did not hesitate anymore, and immediately pulled out their horses and fled.
For them who fled in a hurry, today's experience should be a nightmare that will never be able to get rid of forever.
If you want to run, it's not that easy.
The 3,000 Guanning iron cavalry, together with the Tang cavalry that caught up, pursued a long distance together, and killed more than 200 lone Manchurian cavalry before leading the troops to retreat.
At this time, more than 13,000 defeated soldiers had rushed back to their own formation in embarrassment, and after he urged the formation to be organized, the Tang army's battle formation had been quickly pressed to more than ten steps ahead, the big shield was like a wall, the tip of the gun on the wall was like a slave, and the cold flickered. Countless Tang character military flags with big red backgrounds and black characters are very conspicuous in the hot wind.
Looking at the Tang Army's battle formation, which was already close in front of him, Wu Sangui's face twitched, and the painful look on his face was difficult to describe in words.
Damn, I knew that the Tang Army was so capable of fighting, and I knew that I was going to be forced to surrender now, why didn't I seize the opportunity of Zu Dashou's persuasion to surrender and lead my troops in time to do it, it was just stupid!
If he had led his troops to surrender to the Tang Army in time, maybe it would still be a great achievement, and this promotion to the rank of knight would have been captured.
Where could it be like now, being forced to surrender in such humiliation, not only did it cost thousands of brothers in vain, but its own fate was completely in the hands of others, and even if Tang Jun could accept himself and his subordinates, the benefits and benefits he could obtain would be greatly reduced!
In this world, where there is regret medicine for sale, no matter how high the price is, I will not hesitate to buy it.
When Wu Sangui was remorseful, from behind the Tang army, Liu Wenxiu, the commander of the Tang army, and Zu Dashou, the deputy marshal, surrounded by a group of guards, slowly rode out together and came to stand not far from Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui looked ashamed, and didn't dare to look at the two of them. He gritted his teeth tightly, and after taking a long breath, forgot about the past and quickly dismounted, bowing his head and bowing down.
"Sinner Wu Sangui, thank Tang Jun for not killing him!"
Other subordinate generals, such as Hu Guozhu and Xia Guoxiang, saw Wu Sangui bowing their heads, and no longer hesitated, and immediately followed Wu Sangui and knelt down to pay respects.
"Uncle, I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!" Zu Dashou looked at Wu Sangui who was kneeling down in the ground, with a look of unbearability, and let out a long sigh.
Wu Sangui didn't dare to get up, but just bowed his hand and said, "Uncle, don't say anything more." The eldest uncle is stupid, he has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and he wants to compete with your army, today's battle can be described as self-inflicted humiliation, how to regret it! This defeat has come and gone, and there is no face at all, General Liu and his uncle, how to deal with us, but by disposal, there is no other word. ”
"General Wu, you and the generals, let's get up and talk. Now that our army has allowed you to surrender, this previous conflict and all kinds of unhappiness can also be revealed. Liu Wenxiu happily looked down at Wu Sangui, who was cowering on the ground, smiled coldly, gently raised the horsewhip, and motioned for him to get up and speak.
Wu Sangui's face turned red, and after he stood up, the rest of Hu Guozhu, Xia Guoxiang and others also stood up silently, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing.
Wu Sangui forced out a smile, stood up, and sighed: "I am ashamed, I have once again thanked General Liu Houde Longen, your army is willing to accept us, regardless of the past, such leniency, then how can we not put our hearts in our hearts and swear allegiance to the death?" From now on, we are willing to work under your army's tent to drive and do our best. ”
When Liu Wenxiu heard this, he laughed, but he kept sighing in his heart.
Wu Sangui really has the best potential to be a slave with three surnames, and he is afraid that he said this to Dolgon that day.
Liu Wenxiu despised it in his heart, but on the surface he looked like he admired it, and he said in a deep voice: "Very good, General Wu's statement is very much in line with the heart of this general." Rest assured, since our army can accommodate the surrender of others, there is no doubt about it. As long as you serve faithfully, how can you not trust? However, you also need to know that our Tang Army can not blame the past, but it will never allow changes in the future. After coming to our army this time, you must be loyal to us wholeheartedly, and there must be no repetition, otherwise, the military law will be ruthless, and the Tang King will not be spared! ”
Wu Sangui's heart froze, and he responded urgently: "This is natural, why should the general worry about it." We are so grateful that the generals of the defeated army will be allowed to be taken in by the Tang army, and they dare to have different intentions again. The subordinates of our army let your army arrange the distribution, and they all obeyed their orders. I also hope that King Tang and General Liu can use the materials regardless of their previous suspicions, and find a way out for the soldiers of our army, so that they will be at ease. Here, let me thank General Liu on their behalf. ”
Liu Wenxiu nodded, and said, "Well, what you say is very good. In our Tang army, there has always been no room for mountains, and your troops and horses, since they are like-minded, they naturally have to be completely reorganized and reorganized by our army, and the generals will lead the troops and soldiers to find their own way, which you can rest assured. Now the time is urgent, and after we wait for the return to the army, the mayor of the fourth town, Lord Duan Shidi, will immediately fly to the Tang King, and arrange for Er and other cadres. ”
Wu Sangui's heart fell to the ground, and there was also an unspeakable loss, he secretly thought, perhaps, from now on, he will forever lose these subordinates who are like arms, but now that people are under the eaves, it is not easy to survive, and An Ke asks for more than that.
So, without saying a word, he immediately agreed loudly, and then worked with the civil officials of the Tang Army Supervision Department to clean up his remaining soldiers and horses. All kinds of baggage equipment in the army were also paid to the Tang Army.
Soon, the Tang army counted the results of this battle and found that a total of more than 3,700 Wu troops were eliminated, plus nearly 300 Manchurian cavalry eliminated by the Guanning Iron Cavalry, a total of more than 4,000 enemies were destroyed. In addition to these destroyed enemy troops, the rest of the people, totaling about 15,000 people, have all surrendered to the Tang army.
In contrast, the losses of the Tang army were extremely slight, almost negligible, and such a result made Liu Wenxiu, the commander of the Tang army, extremely happy.
He immediately ordered the whole army to quickly fight the battlefield, and then immediately retreated and left, and the whole army returned to Dushikou Fort.
In order to appease the people's hearts, in addition to the Manchurian cavalry who died in battle, the Wu soldiers who died in the battle were also transported by their subordinates to their monolithic forts, and then incinerated in a unified manner.
Tang Jun's actions made Wu Jun feel ashamed and ashamed in his heart, and his heart was much calmer.
Soon, after the Tang army finished cleaning up the battlefield, the whole army retreated back to Dushikou at full speed, leaving only the corpses of more than 100 Manchurian cavalry on the ground, as well as a large number of abandoned flags, weapons and dead horses.
The Tang army played a triumphant song and returned victoriously, and the regent Dolgon personally commanded the army and hurried to the place where Wu Sangui and the Tang army were fighting.
At this time, he had learned from the Manchurian cavalry who fled back the terrible news that the Tang army had defeated Wu Sangui here and that Wu Sangui had surrendered to the Tang army.
Seeing the dead bodies of the men and horses in the vast wilderness, all of them were Manchurian cavalry who followed Baiketu to supervise the formation, Dolgon's heart was even more angry, and his teeth were gritted loudly.
Then, when soldiers dragged the bloody corpse of Baktu all the way to meet him, Dorgon's anger finally exploded irrepressibly.
"Wu Sangui! You shameless three-surnamed slave! You betray my trust and betray the Qing Dynasty, and this king vows to kill you with his own hands! ”
Dorgon roared loudly, and his voice was heard far away by the hot wind, and the whole army was solemn when they heard it.
"Regent, now that the enemy has withdrawn, how should our army act?" Abatai on the side asked in a low voice.
Dolgon gradually calmed down from his anger and gaffe, and with a lonely face, he took a long breath and said with a wry smile: "The Tang army has just defeated the advance of our army and surrendered its people, and its morale is very strong. ”
He said in a deep voice: "The order is given, now the whole army is working hard from afar, and the morale is low, so they are all temporarily camped here." And after a day's rest, after dawn tomorrow, the whole army will immediately attack the weak point of the side wall and take the monolithic! ”
"Huh!"
More than 120,000 Qing troops were camped on the spot, and the camp tent was almost impossible to see, and the momentum was very magnificent. In order to prevent the Tang army from attacking the camp at night, Dolgon arranged a large number of loose sentry horses, and the sentinel range was placed very far away, down to the side wall, so as not to suddenly encounter the camp unexpectedly.
From day to night, the whole army was fine, and those wandering Qing army sentry horses could see from a distance on the side wall, the Tang Army flags were all over the place, and there were many sergeants, looking like they were heavily guarded.
However, in the middle of the night, when the Qing army was sleeping very deeply and sweetly, suddenly from the side wall, there was a continuous rumbling and beating of drums, among which there were many soldiers shouting and shouting, like spring thunder rolling and surging.
