"The last general, Du Shi, meet General Li!"

"In Xia Du Shaoru, meet General Li Zongbing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info。。。。。 ”

"You two don't have to be polite, please get up quickly." Li Xiao smiled and picked up Du Shi and Du Shaoru, who looked embarrassed.

In fact, Li Xiao sent someone to call them over to find out more specifically what the current situation of the townside city is, because this townside city is the main transportation route between Huailaiwei and Shuntianfu.

"General Li, but I don't know what your army wants to do when you come to this Huailaiwei?" Without waiting for Li Xiao to speak, Du Shi asked first.

Li Xiao saw his look of surprise, so he said: "Commander Du, our army is going to join the Beijing Division, and I wanted to enter the Shuntian Mansion from the border city of the town, but I didn't expect to meet you here, which is really a coincidence. By the way, I just heard you say that this town is now lost, what is the specific situation, you will tell this soldier in detail. “

Seeing that Li Xiao, the soldiers and horses who had joined the Beijing Division, was so interested in the town border city, Du Shi hesitated for a moment, then sighed and told Li Xiao about the loss of the town border city.

It turned out that some time ago, Du Shi, the commander of the Longmen Guard, was dispatched by the Wanquan Division of Xuanfu Town, and led his 1,000 troops to urgently aid the border city of this town. After Du Shi came to the rescue, plus the original soldiers and horses in the border city of the town, the total number of soldiers and horses in the town reached more than 2,000 people.

Entering the border city of the town, Du Shibu calmly passed for six days, but he didn't expect that just yesterday, the Qing army of about 10,000 people attacked in a big way.

The Qing army is fierce, the soldiers are very sharp, and the border city of the town, old and not repaired for a long time, the city pass is broken, rammed earth and built without bricks, has long been weathered and peeled off in many places, and even the moat has long been silted, and the defense of the city is very low. In addition, because of the long-term lack of funds and salaries, the morale of the sergeants in the institute is depressed, and they can get by, and their combat effectiveness can almost be said to be worthless.

Therefore, after surrounding the town border city on all sides, the Qing army attacked the city with a joint attack, and the defenders in the city immediately collapsed.

However, even if he got rid of it, under the pursuit of the Qing army all the way, Du Shiqi's troops also suffered heavy losses, and when they fled to the Huailai Acropolis, the 1,000 soldiers of his troops were almost lost, together with the deputy commander Qin Guoying, the captain of the family Hu Mao and others, all died under the Qing saber.

Seeing that the loss of his troops was so great, Du Shi was distressed and extremely unwilling, so he wanted to move reinforcements from Huailaiwei, and took advantage of the fact that the Qing army in the city on the edge of the town had led the troops to leave and plunder, and recaptured the town.

When Du Shi said this, he looked impassioned and unrelenting in his service to the country. It's just that Li Xiao's heart is like watching the fire.

Because, Li Xiao knew that the main reason why Du Shi wanted to recapture the town border city was because he, as the temporary commander of the town border city, lost the town, and the court would inevitably be held accountable at that time. In order to save his official life, Du Shi wanted to try his best to regain it. If you can recapture the town, even if you lose it again in the future, you can barely make a meritorious service, so as to draw a clear line with those soldiers who surrendered to the town, so as to save your official life.

Li Xiao sighed secretly in his heart, this person's little abacus is shrewd. It's just that now I want to extract information from this mouth, but I don't have to worry about anything with him.

"Have you ever seen which Qing army came to seize the city on the edge of the town?"

"General Li Bing, according to yesterday's observation, the Qing army Manchurian headquarters of the department, there are about 3,000 people, half of them are wearing yellow helmets and yellow armor, which should be the Yellow Flag soldiers of the Qing Army, and the other half of the clothes and armor are inlaid with red edges, which should be inlaid with yellow flag soldiers, and the rest are Mongolian red tassel tartars, and there are more than 3,000 soldiers, and there are more than 3,000 Han troops of all colors, as well as more than 1,000 people from the Ming army who recently surrendered to the Qing army.

Li Xiao nodded lightly, and he had a general understanding of the attacking Qing army.

The reason why Na Du Shi has the confidence to counterattack is because he knows that now the town has been captured by the Tartars, and then the Tartars retreat, and when they go to plunder elsewhere, he can take the opportunity to reoccupy the empty city, and in this way, it can be regarded as a meritorious service.

"General Li Bing, in my opinion, now the Tartars have been captured in the border city of the town for more than a day, and the city on the edge of the town should have been looted, and now if our army marches into the city, it is estimated that the Tartars have already retreated elsewhere, so it should not be necessary to take it back without much effort."

Speaking of this, Du Shi's eyes lit up, and he begged Li Xiao: "General Li Bing, I see that your department has about 7,000 people, and you can go to the edge of the town here, but you can get there in one day, and you can just capture this empty city in one go. ”

Li Xiao groaned in his heart, anyway, he was going to go to Beijing to rescue, but now this town is a must-pass place, and this favor can be done.

So, he smiled and said to Du Shi: "Okay, everyone is a soldier of the Xuanfu North Road, and they should be united and help each other, so your department will lead the way, and our army will immediately rush to the town border!" ”

Du Shi was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Mr. Li is anxious for justice and righteousness, and we are the forerunner, so it is no problem!" ”

。。。。。。

When Du Shi led Li Xiao's army and urgently marched towards the border city of the town, Zhenghuang Qigu Mountain was really Shu Mulu. Tan Tai, triumphantly in the town border city, led a group of guards who accompanied Bai Swing Tooth, and under the guidance of Karamu, counted a large number of goods captured during this time.

Shu Mulu. Tan Tai is the younger brother of Yang Guli, one of the leaders of the Qing Army of the Three Routes, who is a great general of the Qing Dynasty and a hero of the founding of the country in history.

In real history, Tan Tai started from a small Niu Lu Ezhen, and was constantly promoted because of his bravery in combat and repeated military exploits. From Niu Lu Ezhen, he was promoted to Baya Lazhangjing, and then promoted to Gushan Ezhen, and then he was awarded the second-class staff general and the first-class public.

After the death of Chongzhen, the Qing army entered the customs, Tan Tai, who entered the customs from the dragon, first destroyed a large number of Liukou of Li Zicheng's department, and then defeated a large number of Ming troops in the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and then successively defeated and eliminated the Jin Shenghuan Department and Li Chengdong's Department who returned to the Ming Dynasty anyway, for the Qing Dynasty, it can be described as a high degree of hard work and outstanding achievements.

It's just that after the unification of the whole country, Emperor Shunzhi suspected this person of acting arbitrarily and without the court, so he was imprisoned and gathered all the ministers to discuss the crime. Subsequently, led by Yu Bai, he reported and exposed Tan Tai He Luohui and others, attached to the first traitor of the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon, and other major crimes such as private and unauthorized government, and finally Tan Tai was beheaded for public display, with no family property, and the end was tragic.

"Master, since the Xifengkou entered the customs, plus this attack on the border of the town, our department has obtained a total of 720 taels of gold, 76,400 taels of silver, 120,000 stones of grain and grass, more than 2,200 horses of silk brocade, and no 。。。。。。 of ordnance, swords, and armor."

"Oh, and what about the number of people and animals captured?" After hearing this, Tan Tai asked softly.

"Master, our department has captured more than 23,000 people and animals, and they have been brought back with the Ye ministers' department, and they are being brought to Lord Azig, the commander of the unified army, outside Changping City. Such a credit has been recorded in detail in the form of a pen sticker, but the master should not worry about others sharing the credit of our army. Karamu laughed.

After listening to Karamu's report, Tan Tai's arrogant face faintly showed a look of pride.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the Wanyan Yechen with the yellow flag, I would have shared what I got from the Yellow Flag Department all the way, and the official would have gained more." Tan Tai threw a golden gold ingot in his hand, but his face showed unwillingness.

Karamu came up and said with a flattering smile: "Don't worry, master, now that the Yechen Department has been transferred back to attack Shunyi City by the Rao Yu Bel Abatai, it will no longer share the merits with my Zhenghuang Banner, and when the commander-in-chief of the army, Lord Yanggul, sends reinforcements, our army can enter the town of Xuanfu and capture more people, animals and property." ”

Tan Tai's eyes rolled, and his face was full of joy, but he sighed lightly and said: "It's just that I hate that Ye Chen, who actually took away half of the Mongolian and Han soldiers, which greatly weakened the strength of our army." My brother Yanguli, but he was too cautious, and always told me to say that this town and border city are the junction of Xuanfu and Shuntian, and the terrain is critical, and it is not to be abandoned. Otherwise, according to the official's opinion, our department has more than 1,500 Zhenghuang Banner soldiers, plus 1,500 Mongolian soldiers and 1,500 Han soldiers, but it is enough to go to Huailaiwei, Baoan Prefecture and other places to do a big job. ”

Nakaramu hurriedly said: "Master, don't be anxious, Lord Yanguli has set a plan, and we still need to follow it." Lord Yanguli is preparing to attack Fangshan and Liangxiang and other counties, and it is estimated that it will take a few days before he can divide his troops to our army. ”

Tan Tai snorted and sighed again: "I can only hate this town's border place, located at the junction of Shuntianfu and Xuanfu Town, although it is a dangerous pass, but it is a barren place, I am afraid that my soldiers and generals will plunder the nearby villages and counties for a few days, and the oil and water and benefits that can be fished are also limited." ”

Tan Tai paused and asked again: "Karamu, in addition to the troops who went to the countryside to plunder, how many soldiers are left behind in the border cities of the town?" ”

Karamu said: "My lord, I have arranged enough troops to stay in the border city of the town, I am the Manchurian army of the Yellow Banner headquarters, there are 1,000 soldiers, 800 Mongolian soldiers, 800 Han troops, and more than 2,000 Ming troops who have newly surrendered, I am worried that they may not be reliable, so they all stay in the city." ”

Karamu paused, and said with a smile: "Master, now that the Ming army has been defeated, it has broken its courage, don't say that our army still has thousands of people stationed in the border city of this town, that is, there are only a few hundred people, and those Ming troops have no courage to take the city again. ”

Tan Tai nodded, his face showing satisfaction: "Karamu, you are getting more and more proper and sophisticated now, not bad!" You have to remember that as long as you can do a good job for the official with peace of mind, the higher the official position and title in the future, the more benefits you will get from the boy. ”

Karamu fell to the ground with a happy face: "The slave thanked the master Longen, I, Karamu, will always accompany the master, serve the master, and drive!" ”

。。。。。。

Tan Tai and the others, who were intoxicated by the large amount of looted property, would never have thought that in the territory of Huailaiwei in the west, a well-equipped Ming army was riding the bright summer night moonlight all the way to the east.

According to Li Xiao's order, after leaving the Huailai Acropolis at noon, the whole army accelerated its speed and marched overnight, striving to reach the outside of the town before dawn.

Under the moonlight as silver as water, Li Xiaojun, who was moving forward silently, was like a long black snake made of steel, winding eastward in the vast northern wilderness.

Along the way, Du Shi, the commander of the dragon gate guard, walked side by side with Li Xiao, and kept introducing the situation of the town border city to Li Xiao, so as to get closer.

"Mr. Li, the border city of that town, together with the Changyu city and the Baiyanggou office, and the three cities of the Beijing border pass, are the dangerous places to enter Beijing. Its north and south sides are all mountains, only open the east and west two city gates, the interior is divided into three streets, six lanes and seventy-two alleys, the north and south are streets, and the east and west are lanes. This town is very old, it is said that it was built when Chengzu guarded the border, and it was used to prevent the Mongol Tatars from attacking. By the way, Lord Li, you don't know yet, in the border city of this town, there are many temples, a total of eleven or twelve, there are Lao Ye Temple, Shouxing Temple, Nunnery Temple, City God Temple, Mountain Temple, Niangniang Temple, Big Buddha Temple, Dragon King Temple, Zhenwang Temple, Fire God Temple, Kuixing Temple。。。。。。 ”

Du Shi spat all over the place, but Li Xiao didn't have much of the heart to listen to his idle talk.

As the whole army marched closer to the border of the town, the more uneasy feelings Li Xiao felt in his heart.

Li Xiao intuitively felt that it seemed that the border city of this town was not as Na Du Shi said, the Tartar had been withdrawn, and it was just an empty city waiting to be taken over.

Li Xiao couldn't say why this feeling came from, but in his heart, he had secretly thought about how to deal with it if there was really a Qing army stationed there.

This overnight march was very physically exhausting, Li Xiao was very worried that the Mongolian princess Ingmar would not be able to bear it, but it would not, when he saw Ingmar, who was leading the cavalry of the 500 Tumut tribes, still full of energy, his heart was a little relieved.

This woman who grew up in the Mongolian grassland is very energetic.

What reassured Li Xiao even more was that along the way, Ingmar was extremely obedient and did not add any trouble to Li Xiao at all.

When the sky was bright, Li Xiao's whole army, which had been on the road overnight, finally reached a distance of twenty miles from the town border.

A group of flying harriers immediately broke away from their main formation, beat their horses and galloped forward, and went to the outskirts of the town to spy on the periphery of the city.

At this time, the Qing soldiers who took over in the early morning, after climbing the city wall, were about to wake up the night vigil soldiers who were still fighting in the city, but they were surprised to find that under the unclear morning light, a Ming army was silently and quickly walking towards the edge of the town.

"Oh no, Ming Gouzi is coming to attack the city!" The Qing army defending the city shouted loudly.

Immediately, in the terrible conch, a large group of Qing troops rushed to the city and began to urgently deploy defenses.

After a short time, the flying harriers who went out to scout also returned one after another and reported urgently to Li Xiao: "Lord Li, in the border city of this town, it is not an empty city at all, but it seems that there are a lot of Qing troops defending the city. “

After the flying harrier finished speaking, Li Xiao looked serious, and Du Shidu Shaoru on the side, as well as their remnants, turned pale with fright.

What's going on?

Didn't these Qing troops leave after taking captives every time, why are they still in the border city of this town?

"This, this, these thousands of Qing troops have not retreated, so our army is not throwing itself into the net?" Du Shi's voice trembled a little. "General Li Bing, otherwise, while the Qing army has not yet pursued, let's withdraw quickly."

Looking around at Zhang Huang's Du Shi, he didn't notice that at this time, Li Xiao, in his thick eyebrows, a cold light flashed in an instant.

"Hmph, were you frightened by the Qing army, our army rushed all the way to this place at night, just as we were fighting hard to attack, and there was a reason to retreat in a hurry! This soldier wants to see if these Qing troops are really cast of copper and iron! ”

After Li Xiao said this coldly, Du Shi was ashamed.

With a "brush" sound, Li Xiao pulled out the Dragon Yin Sword, raised it high, and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order!" All the soldiers rushed to a stone's throw from the border of the town, and then attacked the city! ”

"Order!"

Li Xiaojun's roar in unison was like spring thunder, exploding in the wilderness in the early morning.
