Chapter 149: The terrifying Jingguan, the thunderous troops
Mo Li led the crowd to the head of the North City Gate, and sure enough, the dust and smoke were billowing from the northeast, and countless cavalry galloped over, with enough shadows and shadows, and the number of people was unknown. ( Eight?) δΈChinese Network })}.
Mo Li looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "Fat Taiji is really unwilling, this will collect the remnants of the defeated generals and still want to attack the city!" β
Cao Wenzhao nodded and said: "The general is really a last resort, and it is expected that the Tartars will not be reconciled, but fortunately, we have made arrangements in advance." However, I heard that this Tartar has made a very powerful cannon modeled after our Hongyi cannon, so we still need to be more prepared! β
Mo Li nodded and said, "General Cao is right! The order was passed down, and the officers and men of each battalion took turns to guard the city and actively prepare for battle. Xiao Cao, your cavalry must be ready to stand by at any time! β
"Yes! General, don't worry! Our left cavalry battalion is ready to attack at any time! Cao Bianjiao rubbed his hands and said excitedly.
Last night's big battle with the Tartars, although it consumed a lot of physical strength, but it also stimulated the fighting spirit of all the officers and men of the Pingyang Army to the greatest extent and the desire to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, especially Cao Bianjiao, who only died under the halberd in his hands last night, there were at least one hundred and eighty Tartars, which can be said to be the most hearty battle that Cao Bianjiao has killed since he joined the army.
After that, Cao Bianjiao became famous in a war, known as the whirlwind killing god General Cao, and the Tartars were all disgraced when they heard Cao Bianjiao's name, and they were terrified.
In the morning, the officers and men of each battalion took turns to rest for two hours, and basically recovered their physical strength and spirit.
The Pingyang Army now has two battalions, the left cavalry battalion and the right cavalry battalion, with a total of 8,000 cavalry, and the rest of the men and horses are mostly infantry, but this refers to the number of cavalry battalions, in fact, the number of cavalry is far more than 8,000 people, for example, each infantry battalion has a certain number of cavalry, which is used to reconnoiter the enemy situation or convey combat orders.
In addition, each general was escorted by a certain number of cavalry, and the total number of these cavalry exceeded 10,000.
Now, thousands of horses from the Tartars have been captured, and the proportion of cavalry will be further increased.
In the wee hours of the morning, the rain stopped. After Mo Li stationed in Dalinghe City, he immediately ordered people to return to Jinzhou City to transport the firearms of the Pingyang Army and the grain and grass raised by Qiu Hejia.
Suddenly, the golden soldiers in the northeast corner suddenly let out an exclamation in unison. It turned out that they saw the leader of the golden soldiers who were piled up like a hill. The shocking Jingguan.
There was a commotion in the crowd of Jin Bing, and everyone gasped! It's so ruthless! It's miserable!
The leading general was none other than Dorgon. When he received a report from his subordinates that he had found a Jingguan made of the heads of the Eight Banners warriors, he was still a little incredulous, but when he arrived at the scene and saw that the scene of thousands of human heads piling up together made him pale with fright.
Rao is Dolgon has been fighting for many years and has fought countless bloody battles, but at this moment, he can't help but tremble slightly all over his body when he sees this scene.
Especially when he saw the head of his brother Azig being placed on the top, Dolgon finally couldn't hold back any longer, and roared hysterically in a trembling voice: "This revenge is not avenged, and it is not a man!" Immortal God! Let my Dajin Eight Banners warriors tear all the Han dogs to pieces! β
Dolgon's roar was like the howl of a night ghost, terrifying.
Almost losing his mind, Dorgon drew his long knife, pointed at Dalinghe City, and roared and ordered, "Kill! β
After Huang Taiji escaped by luck last night, he gathered all the routs at dawn, and the more everyone thought about it, the more angry they became, once upon a time did Dajin's Eight Banners warriors try to be so embarrassed and so wretched? So they encouraged Huang Taiji to kill the Ming army and return to the horse gun.
Huang Taiji naturally couldn't bear this breath, so he ordered Dolgon to lead an army of 30,000 to attack Dalinghe City and kill the Ming army. Huang Taiji himself continued to collect the defeated troops, rectify military affairs, and then led the remaining Eight Banners warriors as backup to Dalinghe City.
At that moment, the vanguard army of the golden soldiers under the command of Dolgon roared and rushed towards Dalinghe City. Although the Jingguan in front of them made them tremble, it also aroused the hatred of many people, because many of the Jingguan were the heads of their brothers and nephews. Moreover, Dorgon ruled the army very severely, and no one dared to disobey his orders.
At the forefront is Huang Taiji's seventh brother, Belle Abatai, who is forty years old, but because of the low status of his biological mother, he ranks low among the beylers and is not welcomed.
Among the beylers, only Mang Gurtai and Azig were friendly with him, and at this time, seeing that Azig was killed by the Ming army and his head was built into a Jingguan, Abatai was also inexplicably sad and indignant in his heart, and vowed to avenge Azig.
Abatai led more than a thousand cavalry to rush in front of the Jingguan with great momentum, suddenly, only a dull roar was heard, followed by the miserable howls of countless soldiers and the neighing of war horses, and the cavalry at the front suddenly fell to the ground as if they had been hit by an evil spirit, and with the sound of explosions, flesh and blood flew sideways.
Abatai was stunned, there were still five or six miles away from the Dalinghe City guarded by the Ming army, and it was impossible for the artillery on the head of the city to hit here, where did the explosion come from? The continuous explosions not only killed and injured many gold soldiers, but also frightened the horses with the sudden explosions, and the front army was suddenly in chaos, and people turned over on their backs in chaos.
Dolgon and the others in the back didn't know what was going on in front of them, and when they saw that the team was not moving forward, they sent someone over to inquire about the situation. Abatai hurriedly ordered the men to halt their advance, and he rode over to many Ergons to explain the situation.
After listening to Abatai's account, Dorgon didn't know what it was, and he was in trouble at the moment, not knowing how to deal with the ghostly explosion.
Hearing this, Belezir Harang muttered and said: "I heard before that the Nanren had known a kind of explosive called a mine, which will explode as long as people and animals step on it, and from the current situation, the Ming army in Dalinghe City must have used this kind of mine. β
Abatai was stunned for a moment and said, "Then what should we do?" This thing can't be seen or seen, God knows where it's buried! β
Zilharang thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, let's spare it!" Spare the south gate! β
Dolgon thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's useless, since they will plant mines here, they must also be buried at the south gate." β
"What then?"
Dolgon's brows furrowed, and suddenly his eyebrows raised, and he said, "There you have! Let's go grab some Han dogs and let them go in front and we will follow behind, so it's safe! β
Abatai and Zilharang glanced at each other and said in unison, "Wonderful! Sure enough, it is worthy of the Murgen generation! β
However, the Jin soldiers besieged Dalinghe City for two months, and the people nearby had already fled, not only the people had fled, but it could be said that there was not a single living creature within a radius of dozens of miles.
The question raised by Sakhalian, the third son of Daishan, made Dolgon extremely embarrassed, yes, the idea is good, but it must be able to carry it out!
The son of Chu Ying, the eldest son of Nurhachi, Doro Anping Beledudu thought for a while and said, "Fourteenth uncle, why don't we go to Jinzhou now to catch some Han Chinese......
Now I go to arrest people outside Jinzhou City, not to mention whether I can catch them, but if I can catch them, I am afraid that it will be too late. Last night by the Ming army sneak attack, the army lost a lot of grain and grass utensils, if you don't quickly capture Dalinghe City, recapture the grain and grass, the army will not last long and can only withdraw.
Moreover, Jin Bing suffered this great humiliation, and he was eager to take revenge, how could he wait longer for the shame of his defeat?
Dolgon shook his head and said, "No, the Han dog near Jinzhou has long been hiding in Jinzhou City, where can I catch it for a while?" β
"What then?" Zilharang said anxiously.
The look in Dolgon's eyes suddenly became cold, and he looked at the Ming army in Dalinghe City in the distance and gritted his teeth and said, "Call Ji Yongchun!" β
Ji Yongchun was originally the commander of the Zizhangtai garrison on the periphery of Dalinghe City. There are a lot of piers built around Dalinghe City, there are garrisons in it, and they respond to each other, at this time, it can send troops to support, and the other is to contain the siege.
At the beginning of the siege of Dalinghe City by the Emperor Taiji army, he first sent troops to clear these piers around Dalinghe City so as not to be pinned down by it. Due to the disparity in troops, Ji Yongchun and dozens of defenders under him had to surrender to the Jin soldiers. In addition, the defenders of the other two piers also surrendered to the Jin soldiers, and Huang Taiji put Ji Yongchun in charge of managing and commanding the two hundred Han troops.
Dolgon's intention is obvious, that is, to let Ji Yongchun and these surrendered Ming troops go to the front to clear the danger, who will let them all be lowly Han people! You can't let the noble Eight Banners warriors die in vain.
Zilharang said with some concern: "Murgen Dai Qingbele, will this be ...... The Great Khan has always said that he will give preferential treatment to Han people and Han officials, especially the Ming generals who surrendered, in case they leak out......"
Dolgon said impatiently: "Now that the matter is urgent, how can my mother-in-law be indecisive?" β
Zilharang choked and his lips trembled, but he said no more.
Soon, Ji Yongchun and other surrendered Ming troops were driven by the Jin soldiers to walk in front, trembling and terrified. Although he knew that he was being used as a tool by the Tartars to find his way, Ji Yongchun could only grit his teeth and carry it out, because if he disobeyed the order, his head would fall to the ground immediately.
Boom, boom, boom......
From time to time, the soldiers stepped on the mines planted by the Pingyang army, and many of them fell down screaming, dead or wounded. The most tragic thing is those whose hands and feet and limbs were blown off, but they couldn't die for a while, and the huge pain in their bodies made them wail that life was worse than death......
However, although they witnessed the tragic situation of their comrades being bombed, and the rest of the soldiers were frightened, no one dared to turn around and run away, because if they were caught by the golden soldiers, even a happy death would become a luxury......
Ji Yongchun walked cautiously, desperately praying in his heart that God would not let him step on a landmine.
However, God obviously didn't hear his prayer, and with a bang, Ji Yongchun fell in a pool of blood.
Knowing this, I would rather die in battle than surrender to the Tartars!
This was Ji Yongchun's last thought.
