Chapter 481: Li Xiao the Destroyer
Looking at the soldiers who went to give orders, Li Xiao's face was like iron. The reason why Li Xiao planned to kill all the Tartars in the city after capturing Hetuara City was also due to his considerations.
That's because it was not easy for the Tang army to travel so far, and there were many shortages of grain and grass. If you want to capture the whole city of Hetuara and take the whole city of Tartar prisoner, it will be much more difficult than before.
Because, the current Tang Army, without the support of the naval division, is a lone army to go deep, so it must be done, come and go like the wind, and try to fight a time difference with the Qing court as much as possible.
And if you take these Tartar captives after the city is broken, first, the road is rugged and you are afraid that these Tartars will change on the road, second, the food and grass are limited and difficult to supply, and the third is that you are worried that these Tartars will drag your family and your mouth and slow down the evacuation, so that they will be caught up by the Qing army's pursuers, which will lead to you falling into unnecessary entanglement.
Moreover, in addition to these three reasons, there is another more important and hidden reason why Li Xiao is so ruthless.
That is, Li Xiao hopes that through such a cruel and ruthless killing of inhumanity, he will give the entire Qing court and the Qing army reinforcements who came here an extremely cruel psychological blow.
Let them understand that the Tang Army under their command is completely different from those soft and useless Ming Army, not only the most powerful opponent they have ever encountered on the battlefield, but also a merciless killing machine, so that the Qing Dynasty from top to bottom, the Tang Army's brutality and brutality, leaving an eternal psychological shadow.
We must let these vicious Tartars, who are accustomed to killing the Han people and have their hands stained with the blood of the Han people, look at their own place where the dragon rises, and the more brutal and ferocious Tang army will plunder the city of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty and then completely wipe it to the ground, and then slaughter the Tartars of the whole city, regardless of men, women and children, first disemboweled, and then cut off the head to build a Jingguan.
Li Xiao believes that if this matter is successful, maybe from now on, in the Qing Kingdom, when he hears the name of the Tang Army, the children will not dare to cry at night.
These ungrateful barbarians have been afraid of power and virtue since ancient times, and only such cruel killing and humiliation can make these two-legged beasts who can only be afraid of swords and completely succumb to Li Xiao's ruthlessness.
Let them finally understand that Li Xiao, who is as cruel and ruthless as the devil of hell, will only have a tragic death if he continues to fight.
And when the cavalry of the Tang Army broke through and quickly attacked Abu Dali Gang, the main general of the defenders stationed in Hetuala, the general of the Zhenguo Dynasty, Aixin Jueluo?
Babu Hai is doing indescribable things with his two relatives on a large and soft bed.
Babuhai was not originally a Hetuara guard, but led his people to garrison the Yingkou area, but there was a reason why his place would suddenly be transferred to Hetuala.
Love Xin Jueluo? Babuhai, the Qing Dynasty clan, the eleventh son of the old slave, was first awarded Niu Lu Zhangjing. In the eighth year of Tiancong, he was promoted to the first-class Lazhangjing.
At the same time, he took his wife as the daughter of Gushan Ezhen Yanguli. In the fourth year of Chongde, he was awarded the title of Maile Ezhen, the general of the Zhenguo.
However, since then, Babu Hai has not been further promoted, and for many years, he has stayed in the position of Mel Ezhen and the general of the town.
Seeing that Daishan, Dolgon, Duoduo and others were crowned princes one after another, Babuhai was envious and hated. Thinking that he was a clan, but he hadn't even caught a solid mountain, he couldn't help but be indignant in his heart.
There is a way, and if it is uneven, it will sound. Babuhai, who was full of resentment in his heart, although he usually deliberately suppressed his true thoughts, finally said something that almost killed him on the eve of the Emperor Taiji's pro-unified army to march to Jinzhou.
It turned out that when he was ordered by Huang Taiji to reorganize his subordinates and prepare to go to Jinzhou with the army, Babuhai was drinking with his subordinates.
After hearing Huang Taiji's order to send troops together and prepare to attack Jinzhou, Babuhai was extremely angry in his heart, although he had not yet attacked on the spot, but as soon as the envoy was far away, he immediately stomped his feet and scolded: "Mother! The fourth bastard, usually can't do anything good in my turn, and when he is going to send troops to fight, he remembers me. Phew, what the hell! The subordinates hurriedly persuaded each other: "General Zhenguo is angry, the emperor's arrangement must be reasonable, how can he say such disrespectful words." If it is listened to by the villain, it will be a big obstacle to the general! ”
"Hmph, I'm afraid of a fart! Everyone is the Mandate of Heaven Khan's Jiba Sunrise, who is more noble than whom, why is he the fourth to be the emperor, the second, the fourteenth they can be the prince, but let me, who is also a clan, only be a little Melle Ezhen, really fucking dog eyes look down on people! ”
"Master, don't talk nonsense......"
"What nonsense, didn't Lao Tzu tell the truth? Into his mother, they did it, Lao Tzu said his mother's sentence, what can it do! That's it, this bullshit Mellor is true, Lao Tzu should be aggrieved, don't do it! Let the fourth child come and stop me, this Melle Ezhen, anyway, the Mele Ezhen of the Great Qing Kingdom has more plants and trees than his mother's Changbai Mountain! Babu Hai scolded and scolded, and the people could not persuade him, until he drank until he fell asleep.
What Babuhai didn't expect was that he scolded him without hindrance, and he was really informed, which immediately caused an uproar in the Qing court, and Huang Taiji himself was even more angry.
In the opinion of Dorgon and others, Babu Hai should be immediately beheaded in the street to punish him for his foul language and great disrespect.
As a result, Huang Taiji thought about it for a long time, but he still let him go for the time being on the grounds that he was drunk and talking nonsense, and that the army was about to fight, and he could not kill the general.
However, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped, and Babuhai was still severely punished by the Qing court. His post of Mailer Ezhen was abolished, and only the vacant post of general of Zhenguo was retained to see the aftermath.
At the same time, he was fined two thousand taels of silver, twenty carved saddle horses and twenty plain saddle horses, and half of the number of cattle under his rule.
(Note: The description here is roughly the same as that of the Qing Shilu, except that in real history, the fate of Babu Hai is much more tragic.)
He was first deposed as a concubine, and then executed by Emperor Shunzhi for the crime of rebellion. The author's description in the article can be regarded as a light haircut.
Then, Huang Taiji ordered that Babu Hai should no longer be involved in the battle of Jinzhou, but that he should be transferred from Yingkou, where he could secretly smuggle with the Ming Dynasty and take bribes, to Hetuala, which was the head of the three capitals, but was actually poor and poor, and could not make any oil and water, as the chief general of the garrison.
This kind of adjustment, to put it bluntly, is almost the same as belittlement in disguise. And in order to take care of the face of this clan, Huang Taiji ordered that Gushan Ezhen Morgen, who was originally stationed here and had a title higher than Babu Hai, temporarily obey Babu Hai's arrangement and serve as his subordinate lieutenant.
Huang Taiji's repeated attacks caused Babuhai to suffer a major blow. It's just that although Babu Hai hated Huang Taiji's arrangement very much, he could only obey on the surface, and led his troops to leave Yingkou and go to Hetuala.
Naturally, when he arrived at the Babu Sea in Hetuala, he was extremely dissatisfied with political and military affairs, but indulged in wine every day and chatted to get by.
He also has a handsome little guy from two opera troupes specially brought from Yingkou, who is always nicknamed as a fire vent.
Babuhai was so dissolute in Hetuala, as the deputy general, Gushan Ezhen Morgen, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything more to this Qing Dynasty clan, so he could only turn a blind eye and give up.
At dusk, when Babuhai was sharing the joy of bed with two handsome young men dressed in women's clothes, he suddenly heard a continuous and sharp alarm conch from outside the city, and he was immediately very dissatisfied.
"Fuck it, Murgen, this bastard, what kind of fame, why is it almost night, and he is still blowing trumpets outside the city, but why?" Babu Hai was depressed, pushed the two little guys away, and began to get dressed and get out of bed with a curse.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the bedroom door was slammed open, and one of his personal Bakash soldiers broke into the door in a panic.
"Master, it's not good, it's bad!" The Bakash soldiers shouted in horror.
"Bastard, look at your little bit of talent! What the hell is going on, so panicked.
Babuhai looked angry and was still unhurriedly dressed. The soldiers knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Master, the big thing is not good, a large number of Tang troops have come from outside the city, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and they are attacking and killing the Abu Dali Gang outside my Hetuala!" After listening to the report of the soldiers, Babuhai's face suddenly stiffened.
No way? This Hetuala, which is far inland in the Qing Dynasty, has not had any soldiers for decades since the Battle of Salhu, how can today, there be a Tang army attacking it?
It's unimaginable!
"This Hetuala, far away in the interior of the Qing Dynasty, the roads from which they came are very rugged and difficult, so where did the Tang army come from? You thief, but you can see clearly?! Babuhai shouted.
"Master, Xiao really sees it clearly. The Tang Army that came, the armor was tight, the army was extremely neat, and there were a lot of Tang character military flags with black characters on a red background, this is not Li Xiao's Tang Army, which one else can it be? Babuhai's face was very solemn.
Almost subconsciously, he thought of Adali, who was stripped of skin and grass and executed in Golden State that day, and Leke Dehun, who was beheaded and executed...... Thinking of this, Babuhai had goosebumps all over his body, and he couldn't help but shiver.
He didn't hesitate any longer, hurriedly put on his armor, and walked quickly towards the official hall in the city. At this time, there was a great chaos in the city, and the soldiers and civilians were all scurrying around the city like headless flies.
Under the escort of his own soldiers, Babu Hai walked along the main street, all the way through the Great Yamen of the Khan Palace, the Eight Banners Yamen, the Guandi Temple, the City God Temple, the Qiyun Academy, the Zhaozhong Temple, the Confucian Temple and other buildings, and quickly came to the official hall.
And here, the solid mountain Ezhen Morgen, already standing by with a heavily armed face and a serious face, had obviously been waiting for him for a long time.
Before Babuhai could speak, Gushan Ezhen Morgen had already said loudly with a sad face: "My lord, according to the report of the cavalry who fled back from outside the city, our army was caught off guard by this surprise attack of the Tang army, and it was impossible to organize an effective defense for a while. Now, the Tang army has defeated all the soldiers and horses stationed at the Abu Dali Gang, and the entire Abu Dali Gang has fallen into its hands, and our army has only more than 20 cavalry, which has fled back to the city of Hetuala.
Hearing this, Babuhai's face changed dramatically. Exercise! The Tang army is really fucking ruthless, thousands of miles of sneak attack here, but did not want to take a break, but seized this twilight season, seized the steep terrain of Abu Dali Gang, but really grabbed a first. It's a pity that this Abu Dali Gang was a steep and heavy place where more than 20,000 Ming troops were annihilated, but I didn't expect it to be easily taken away by the Tang Army in this way. Originally, he was still thinking about copying the method of the old Khan to defeat the Ming army, and set up an ambush at the Abu Dali Gang again to give the Tang army a head-on blow, but he didn't expect that this strategy would not be implemented at all, and the Abu Dali Gang would have fallen into the hands of the enemy.
"Where did the Tang Army's sneak attack come from? How many soldiers and horses are there?
Babu Hai groaned for a moment and asked with a stiff face.
"Master, according to the report from the sentinel cavalry, the Tang army came from the east and suddenly appeared in the area of the Fuer River. Therefore, the minions believed that it was very likely that the Tang army had quietly crossed the river from the land of Korea, and then passed through the rugged and uninhabited eastern no-man's land before suddenly arriving here. It's a pity that our army's sentry cavalry was not discovered until the Tang army crossed the Fuer River, but it was a big loss of opportunity. Then, the Tang army did not take a short break, but rose up bravely, fought all the way and occupied Abu Dali Gang, and let our army lose another important base. According to the observation of the sentinel cavalry, the number of soldiers and horses of the Tang army was about 20,000 people, all kinds of troops, the armor was strict, the swords and guns were shining, and its combat power must be very considerable. Listening to Morgan's long message, Babu Hai sighed again in his heart.
Exercise! The Tang army that entered the dog was really ruthless and sinister, they would come up with the idea of attacking from North Korea by a detour, but they were caught off guard, Li Xiao's hand was really ruthless.
"Master, what are we going to do now?" Morgan asked in a low voice. Asked by him, Ba Buhai's mind was foggy, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he subconsciously asked: "This, according to your opinion, how should our army deal with it?" When Morgan saw that Babu Hai panicked, he looked unassertive, and he was very contemptuous of him in his heart.
However, on the surface, he still replied respectfully: "Master, if you are in your opinion, you must first order all the patrols outside the city to withdraw to the city, so as to strengthen the city guards. In addition, it is necessary to urgently mobilize the young men and women in the city to participate in the defense of the city. Finally, it is necessary to urgently send sentinels to Shengjing to ask for reinforcements. After listening to Morgan's reply, Babu Hai's mind calmed down for a moment, and he pretended to be thoughtful, then nodded and said, "Very well, you are right, then according to your opinion." In short, we must defend this Hetuara city well, so that the veterans of the Tang Army Division will be tired and useless. After the arrival of reinforcements in Shengjing, inside and outside the city, all the troops will be killed together, and this Tang army that dares to invade our Xingjing city will be wiped out. ”
"Yes, the minion obeys!"
