[138] Hong Chengchou struggled, and Song Youliang returned to Beijing

Since Hong Chengchou sent Bai Guangen away, he has been busy deploying the defense of Songshan Fort, and intends to hold on for a long time. He was still calm on the surface and spoke softly, but inside he was very depressed and felt that the future was uncertain. It was in this state of mind that he suddenly got a piece of news that made his eyes light up, and he immediately gave birth to a lot of hope. It turned out that when it was almost dusk, someone reported to him that the fourth prince had just moved to the vicinity of Songshan Fort, and that he was only four or five miles away from the city. His royal camp was in the middle, and two battalions of men and horses were set up on each side, one battalion was inlaid with yellow flags, and the other battalion was a positive yellow flag. They have just set up camp and have not had time to dig trenches and build fortifications.

Now it's getting darker. Hong Chengchou thought that if he could immediately send people to clear the camp and rob the village, if he could succeed and capture or kill the captive chieftain alive, the entire battle situation would be greatly improved. So he immediately sent people to find Qiu Minyang, Cao Bianjiao, and Wang Tingchen to discuss the robbery of the camp. Everyone thinks that since the loss of the division, after the failure of the first robbery camp, Lao Han never expected that the Ming army would go to the young camp with the current remnants. If you send troops quickly now, you are likely to succeed if you take advantage of their unpreparedness. This is a surprising move, but you must be bold and careful, and be prepared to rob the camp and not be able to return with the whole division. At that moment, the royal courtiers asked to send him, and Cao Bianjiao also asked to go.

At this time, Bai Guangen came to report that there seemed to be a change in the camp of Jiannu, and the soldiers of Jiannu, who were originally very disciplined, suddenly made noise and ran around the camp.

"God help me~" Hong Chengchou was overjoyed, and immediately took out the already small amount of military rations, and asked Bai Guangen and Cao Bianjiao to carefully select five thousand soldiers and let them have a full meal. Cao Bianjiao and Bai Guangen gave the five thousand dead a full meal and set off immediately. He himself and Bai Guangen led the elite troops in the center, one general with men and horses on the left, one staff general with men and horses on the right, and the other guerrilla led a group of men and horses behind, ready to respond. Cao Bianjiao ordered everyone not to raise fires, not to make noise, and to smear black ash on their faces, even the sword was also painted black in order to prevent reflection in the moonlight. This death squad quietly and quickly rushed towards the enemy camp under the starlight of the autumn night.

Cao Bianjiao ordered the two generals to lead their men and horses to rob the two camps of the Yellow Banner and the Yellow Banner, and he himself led the elite soldiers to rush straight to the imperial camp. When Jiannu found out, he shouted, "The Ming army robbed the village!" Cao Bianjiao had already waved his big knife and rushed into the enemy camp amid shouts of killing. The Ming army killed people when they saw them, and shot them with arrows if they were a little farther away. Jiannu was terrified for a while, and the chaos was extreme, some of them put up unorganized resistance, and some shouted and ran

Huang Taiji and a cadre of princes and Baylors were arguing in the imperial tent, and when they heard that the Ming army had robbed the village, he hurriedly commanded his imperial guards to guard the front of the imperial tent and resist desperately. However, Cao Bianjiao's men and horses were extremely violent, and Huang Taiji's guards were killed and wounded one after another. Some Qing generals on the left and right saw that the imperial tent was violently impacted and hurried to the rescue, but they were all defeated by Cao Bianjiao's men. Seeing that the imperial tent could no longer be held, Huang Taiji had to be protected by the guards, and fought and retreated, waiting for the camps on both sides to come to the rescue. However, at this time, the camp inlaid with yellow flags and positive yellow flags was also being charged and killed by the two generals of the Ming army, especially the nearest Zhenghuang flag, which was attacked extremely violently and fell into chaos, unable to divide troops to rescue the imperial camp.

The guards around Huang Taiji suffered more and more casualties, and the situation became more and more critical, and sometimes the Ming soldiers rushed in front of him, forcing him to swing his sword and slash and kill the sudden Ming soldiers. Just as he could not resist it, he suddenly saw a big man, riding on a horse, shouting and rushing towards him. He knew that this was the chief general of the Ming army, and immediately ordered the guards on the left and right to shoot arrows at this big man together.

This big man is none other than Cao Bianjiao, who has been wounded and is bleeding. He suddenly found Huang Taiji, his eyes lit up, and he scolded: "Don't want to escape!" He rushed forward desperately, trying to capture or kill the "enemy chieftain". When he rushed to a distance of only three or four zhang from Huang Taiji, he was shot in the right shoulder by an arrow and fell off his horse.

The Ming army hurriedly rescued Cao Bianjiao, stopped the impact, and quickly retreated outward, only hearing a short and urgent command in the darkness: "Out of the water!" Get out of the water! At this time, Cao Bianjiao was bleeding too much due to two injuries and was already unconscious. The Ming army rushed out of the imperial camp of Huang Taiji, and the two armies that attacked the yellow flag and the positive yellow flag also came one after another, converged together, and retreated towards Songshan Fort.

Huang Taiji had an accident and was panicked, and he didn't know how many Ming troops there were, so he didn't dare to send troops to pursue. He ordered the imperial camp to be rectified overnight, and at the same time mobilized men and horses to be stationed in front of the imperial camp to strengthen the guard, in case the Ming army came to rob the camp again.

After Cao Bianjiao was carried back to Songshan, he slowly woke up after first aid. His injuries were severe, but his life didn't matter. After this robbery, Hong Chengchou no longer has any illusions of changing the situation. He ordered Cao Bianjiao to be sent to Songshan Fort for good medical treatment. After a few days, in order to avoid losses, he moved most of his men and horses to the city, and some remained in the fortress outside the city, preparing to be besieged by Jiannu from now on, desperately holding on, waiting for reinforcements from the imperial court.

Abatai slapped the table while wrapping up his wounds, and scolded: "What did you say about encircling and annihilating Hong Chengchou, this time I almost let the family kick the camp, this is good, it's really Luo Guozi wrestling with empty ends." ”

was provoked by Abatai like this, and other princes and Baylors also echoed it, and for a while, the call for withdrawal was overwhelming.

Dolgon took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, from the moment when several Fujin brought Shengjing to be attacked by a sneak attack, the army's heart has been shaken. Now that they have been kicked in the camp by Hong Chengchou, the soldiers have no intention of fighting. Rather than wasting ten days again, it is better ~~~" Dolgon paused

"It's better to go home and bury your loved ones~" Abatai said, his face with sadness and anxiety that could not be concealed

At this time, there were also pawns who crawled forward in embarrassment, saying that someone from Liaoyang had just come, saying that the southern barbarians had broken through Liaoyang City three days ago, and they had been slaughtered again, and then went to the direction of Jinzhou.

At this time, Huang Taiji's imperial tent was completely fried, and many little Baylors and Beizi shouted that even if they killed their heads, they would return to Shengjing and the like, even Dai Shan could only be silent, Huang Taiji saw that the people's hearts were like this, and he had no choice but to order the troops to retreat, and the soldiers and horses of each banner retreated every day and every other day.

Let's say that Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou found that Jiannu was retreating, and they were strange, and they wanted to chase but didn't dare to chase, so ten days later, the besieging Jiannu army in Jinzhou and Songshan retreated.

On September 20, Song Youliang's flagship landed in Tianjinwei, and Jinyiwei had already sent the recital to Chongzhen's imperial front, and Chongzhen authorized Song Youliang to lead the cavalry troops of Dengzhou Town to escort Jiannu prisoners into Beijing. From Tianjin to Beijing, along the way, the Han people rushed to watch and welcome. From time to time, rotten vegetable peels and rotten eggs were thrown at the bodies of those Jiannu captives. Especially big traitors such as Fan Wencheng and Zhang Cunren.

On September 26, Song Youliang's team arrived in the capital, and a small number of infantry were stationed in the school field on the outskirts of the city. Then, Zhang Nai led 500 cavalry to escort more than 200 high-ranking prisoners of war into the city, took the royal road and went straight to the main gate of the Forbidden City, Chengtianmen, and entered Chengtianmen to sacrifice prisoners at noon. Along the way, the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division lined up on both sides of the road to maintain order, and tens of thousands of people in the capital beat gongs and drums behind the soldiers. Singing and dancing. Celebrate this hard-won victory.

Since the Battle of Sarhu. The Ming army and the Jiannu army fought, except for a few defensive small victories, the rest were defeated or defeated. Either the whole army was annihilated or the land was humiliated, and the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty and the military and civilians talked about the change of color. Smell Liaodong chills. This time, Song Youliang killed 20,000 Jiannu in North Korea, not to mention the death of the prince, but also swept Liaodong, broke through the puppet capital of Jiannu, killed tens of thousands of enemies, and arrested a lot of wives and children of the noble chieftain of Jiannu. In one fell swoop, it broke the nonsense that Jiannu was not satisfied with 10,000 and was invincible. In the face of such a big victory. Is there any reason for the people of the capital to cheer and rejoice?

"Song Junmen is coming~~~" I don't know who shouted, Song Youliang, the number one hero of the great victory in Liaodong, rode a high-headed horse, and appeared in front of the officials and people in the capital who were waiting for him with a spring breeze

Song Youliang wore the armor given by Emperor Chongzhen and rode on a tall horse produced in Liaodong. Fengshen is handsome and has handsome facial features, coupled with the honor aura effect bonus of the Great Broken Jiannu, which has caused countless girls who have just fallen in love to tremble, and their chests are like deer. Suddenly, the shouts of the people and the soldiers and civilians like a landslide and tsunami and the screams of the girls resounded throughout the city, and at the same time, rotten eggs and rotten cabbage were overwhelming, and raindrops fell on the heads of the Jiannu prisoners of war.

"I don't know if Song Junmen is married, my family has three daughters~"

"Still waiting for your daughter? Song Junmen has long been the son-in-law of King De, and he is the county horse of the dynasty. ”

"The second room is also completed~"

"Xu Laosan, just like your daughter Da Banya, can you also be a second room for Song Junmen? My daughter is pretty much the same~"

"Ah Liang! Ah Liang, this way, look this way". At this time, a group of familiar shouts came, Song Youliang looked for the sound in surprise, and sure enough, he saw his father Song Qianjin and his father Song Li standing on the side of the road accompanied by a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper, wiping their tears and shouting to themselves.

Song Youliang was surprised and delighted, and shouted loudly: "Dad." Mother, the child has to go to the noon gate to sacrifice the prisoner first. When he came out of the palace, the child immediately went home and kowtowed to the second elder. ”

"I'll go with confidence." Song Qianjin wiped her tears. Smile on your face and agree. Now everyone on the street also knows that Song Qianjin is Song Youliang's father, but in an instant. Hundreds of wealthy businessmen with heads and faces in the capital surrounded them, scrambling to bow to Song Qianjin and salute them, and politely accosted them. By the way, sell your own baby daughter

At noon, the cavalry team led by Zhang Nai stepped into Chengtianmen on time and looked in the direction of Wumen. Fifteen hundred brocade guards have lined up on both sides of the noon gate, with embroidered spring knives at the waist, holding eagle beaks, standing solemnly, next to them are the civil and military officials in court clothes and feather crowns, and they are also holding Gui solemnly, and Chongzhen, who is in dragon robes and golden crowns, is sitting on top of the city tower. Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun stood on both sides.

In such a solemn atmosphere. Song Youliang immediately straightened the top of his head, Xiangyun Tie Hood, and asked Li Xindao on the side: "Am I still neatly dressed?" ”
