Chapter 590: Miserable

The reason why Huang Han arranged it this way was because there were too many good things that he was reluctant to discard.

The three mountains are more than 800 miles away from Gubeikou are mountain roads, narrow, rugged and difficult to walk, easy to block, the best way is to release them in echelons.

In less than half an hour, a team of men and horses with supplies would leave the camp, numbering about 3,000 people, and it would continue in a step-by-step manner until the afternoon, when all the people were basically allowed to embark on the long journey home.

Forty or fifty thousand Han people carried the seized materials on their shoulders and pushed hundreds of captured wheelbarrows to stagger along.

When Huang Han set off, except for the less than 1,000 cavalry led by Hanzi, Sang Yu, and Zhang Yang, who were waiting for Yang Danian's men and horses to converge after the face was broken, they still maintained double rides, and the rest of the cavalry had already dismounted and walked.

The horses and three or five spare horses were full of gold, silver, grain, silk, tea, wheat, and so on, and even then there were tens of thousands of stones of grain that could not be taken away, and could only be burned along with the frames of the carriages and ox carts.

At noon on the second day after Huang Han led his men and horses to turn south towards Gubeikou, Yang Danian, who had already learned that the main force had returned south, came to the camp of the three mountains and joined forces with Hanzi, Sang Yu, and Zhang Yang, who had been waiting for a long time.

Yang Danian set fire along the way according to the instructions, and the ignition materials were ready-made, which was when the main force burned the wasteland, deliberately set aside the necessary way, and preset a lot of arson points on the road to leave Yang Danian's men and horses to set fire to block the pursuing soldiers while retreating.

The 1,300 cavalrymen who were ready to break down were all non-commissioned officers of the "Red Banner Army", each of whom had at least two self-generated short guns, half of them carried Mini guns on their backs, and even generals such as Hanzi and Zhang Yang had Mini guns.

They were in no hurry to retreat at all, because they knew that the army returning to the south was huge, with tens of thousands of common people and thousands of cattle, and the speed could not be fast at all.

It is known that the mountain roads are difficult to walk, and even the cavalry has many sections where they are not only unable to gallop, but also have to lead the war horses on foot, so the terrain is actually the death place of the cavalry.

Hanzi and Yang Danian, Sang Yu and so on are all bold lords, who used to fight guerrillas and survived in the cracks, and were not afraid of the Jin Army, but now they are well-equipped with firearms and sharp, and they are not afraid of those miscellaneous pieces.

Although they set fire to the three mountain camps of the Jin army after they withdrew, they did not go far and still hid behind a mountain pack and camped.

There were more than 200 people lurking in the dense forest hill near the three forks, still led by Yang Danian, who peeked at the Houjin army and found that the enemy dared to take the path to continue the pursuit, so they would block it in a dangerous area that had been observed.

If the Houjin army dared to rush into the dangerous place, it was estimated that under the attack of Minnie guns and autogenous short guns, layers of war horses and corpses of Jiannu and Tartar would block the rugged mountain road.

The two brothers, Dorgon and Dodor, who were not in a good mood, are now terrible.

Originally, they were only willing to march 200 miles a day, and it took two days to get out of the customs, but after another three days, the situation began to be complicated, and the horses that went out often lost contact, and the road was full of fire and smoke.

This sudden situation directly caused the two brothers to hurry up and be tired enough to run 200 miles a day, just completing the minimum marching standard set by the starling.

Two days after Huang Han had already gone south with his main force, Dolgon and Duoduo led their men and horses to the camp on the three hills, which had been burned to the ground.

A small half of the more than 3,000 headless corpses had been gnawed to pieces by the wolves, tigers, leopards, and wild dogs that had come out of the mountains with the smell of blood, and now they were burned to the ground, and the scene was full of green-headed flies buzzing around.

Although the 10,000 men and horses led by Dorgon and Duoduo marched at a uniform speed of 200 miles a day, it was completely different from when they attacked Lin Dan Khan.

Because at that time, there was no deliberate arson by the Ming army, no one threw headless corpses into wells and rivers, and it was spring when warblers flew and grass grew on the grassland.

What is called eating ashes behind other people's buttocks, the Jin army staged a realistic version after thousands of years, and now they are all gray-faced, and some people have even been burned with their hair and eyebrows.

The key is that it is difficult to drink saliva, and you have to send someone up the mountain to find the mountain spring.

Duoduo had never been so wronged, and when he saw the miserable scene of being slaughtered by the Ming army, he gritted his teeth and scolded: "The Huang Han dog thief deceives people too much, Lao Tzu must catch up with him and break his corpse into pieces." ”

Dorgon was not angry, his heart was like water, and he did not say anything about it when he saw that Dorgon was still going to pursue.

He sent a group of messengers and instructed: "You hurry to the Chinese army to ask the Great Khan, the Ming army has deviated from the retreat route of our army to the south, where the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the road is bumpy, which is not conducive to the galloping of the cavalry. ”

Duoduo looked at the messenger and wondered: "I'm afraid that the messenger won't be there in two or three days once the messenger goes, and the fourteenth brother actually doesn't want to pursue Huang Han at all, right?" ”

Dorgon was confident that he would be able to catch up with the Ming cavalry, but he was not confident of victory.

He even thought that when he was really close to Huang Han's men, he couldn't guarantee that the other party would use any tricks against his pursuers, and if he was ambushed, maybe the brothers would never be able to go back.

His white flag and Duoduo's inlaid white flag were originally the two yellow flags of the old slave era, and the people and horses were equipped to be the elite of the eight banners, and later the starling became the Great Khan, and the two hundred flags after the change of flags were repeatedly calculated by several brothers.

At that time, the careless Dolgon did not know how to preserve his strength, and always led his subordinates to charge through the formation regardless of losses, and before the age of sixteen, he was awarded the title of Morgan Daiqing for his great contribution to the conquest of the Mongol Chahar Department.

This is not the result of Dorgon's bravery and good fighting, but the elite left by those old slaves has lost more than a thousand and made him with blood.

Time has passed, and Dolgon, who is already twenty-two years old, is no longer an ignorant teenager, he is much calmer, knowing that his false name is like a floating cloud, and his strength can overwhelm everything, and he no longer refuses to lead his subordinates to be the vanguard of starlings.

Fortunately, he knows the current affairs, if he really doesn't care about coming to the mountain road, I'm afraid that there will be thousands of children and 800 people who will die in vain, if they are beaten and don't know each other and refuse to retreat, choose to continue to chase into the mountains, and in the end it is really possible that they will not be able to escape.

Dolgon looked at the reckless mountains from afar and said, "Fifteenth brother, you are too young to understand many things, do you know why the starling brother sent us to lead the men and horses of the headquarters and the left and right flanks of Mongolia to pursue Huang Han?" ”

Duoduo said: "Brother Fourteen, I'm not stupid, I understand, that's because Huang Han's men are difficult to beat, so use our people to fight the striker, and then two yellow flags to pick peaches." ”

Dorgon glanced blankly and said, "Then why are you still clamoring to pursue south!" ”
