Yinshi, under the city of Shanhaiguan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At dawn, Sebuteng watched the Houjin deserters go out of the Shanhaiguan from the open city gate, but the Ming army in the city did not stop it at all, so Huang Taiji easily exited the customs unscathed.
But when Daning's army was about to go out of the pass to catch up, the Ming army in the city was like taking the wrong medicine, and they did not hesitate to close the inner gate of the city, and they were still piled up with rejected horses on the way to the city and the urn, and they blocked the way of Daning's pursuit.
The angry Sebuteng was willing to let the duck fly away, took out a wooden horn and scolded the Ming army at the head of the city, "Spicy next door, Lao Tzu has no time to argue with you about who is right and who is wrong now, I will tell you one last time, we are the Ming army of the Daning Dusi, we are chasing the rebels, hurry up and open the city gate!" ”
The middle-aged man in leather armor at the head of the city, who was surrounded by his own soldiers, was completely unmoved, snorted coldly, walked to the battlement of the city with a majestic face, and shouted at the city: "The old man is Wu Xiang, the general of Jinzhou, who was ordered by General Zu Dashou, the general of the Liao forward, to temporarily guard the Shanhaiguan. The young man under the city is noisy, since you just admitted that you are a sergeant of my Ming Dynasty, you should know that there is no customs clearance paperwork, and the old man will never let you out of the city! Besides, the old man sees that you are clearly not my Han family's children, so if you know each other, you should quickly shut up and retreat, otherwise don't blame the old man for turning his face and not recognizing people! ”
The ancestral clan is the Ningyuan Wang clan, the children of the clan are all in the army as officials, and there is the merit archway of the fourth Zhenliao built by Emperor Chongzhen in Ningyuan City. As Zu Dashou's brother-in-law, when Wu Xiang is in trouble, he will fake the tiger and sacrifice the golden signboard of the Zu family. Although it is so blatant to oppress people with power and despise the world, it is invincible.
Wu Xiang's move can be described as a hundred tried, but today he stumbled, because he met Sebuteng, a stunned young man, this kid grew up on the grassland, and before he could get familiar with the officials of the Ming Dynasty, he was transferred by Guan Shanyue to guard Kuyi Island, and he didn't know that there was such a person as Zu Dashou.
Sebuteng was young and frivolous, Wu Xiang had just blatantly let go of the last wave of Huang Taiji's army in front of him, and when he saw him say such a high-sounding word, his lungs exploded, "Wu Xiang, I'll your grandma!" Don't talk about the identity of the master, a few days ago, he was martyred in Datong, the general soldier of Datong, and Mangui is not a Han Chinese, and he is as loyal to the imperial court. Looking at you, an old horseman, as an officer of the Ming Dynasty, you have the responsibility to defend the territory, but you just let go of the enemy army and stopped the friendly army, aren't you ashamed at all? I think you are determined to stop us from pursuing Huang Taiji, sir, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here! Brothers, Wu Xiang of the Ming Army of Shanhaiguan and his own soldiers communicated with foreign countries, rebelled and defected to the enemy, and were coerced into not helping the abuser, no matter the Ming army inside or outside the city, everyone was punished for it! Those who behead the thieves will be rewarded with silver and white, and the official will be promoted to three levels! ”
Sebuteng was furious, considering things was still very thoughtful, his first thing to do now was to quickly pursue the enemy, and he could not delay too long at Shanhaiguan, so he aimed the scope of his killing at Wu Xiang and his own soldiers, and did not expand to all the Ming troops guarding Shanhaiguan.
The vulture archers had been waiting impatiently, their weapons were already superior, and at this time they were the first to strike at the enemy and take advantage of the top. More than 800 bitter vulture archers from Orion did not even have time to get off the horse, and they fought as they said, and picked up the flint musket and fired a fierce shot at Wu Xiang and his own soldiers at the head of the city.
Caught off guard, Wu Xiang's personal soldiers reimbursed more than half on the spot, and most of the upper bodies of those who were lucky enough not to die were also beaten into a hornet's nest-like sieve, lying on the ground with more air in and less air out. Even if he hadn't been on the battlefield for a long time and was agile, he quickly lay down behind the female wall when he heard the gunshot, I am afraid that he would have reported to Lord Yama at this time. It's just that Rao is like this, his speed is still not faster than the bullet, and his right ear was beaten on the spot.
At this time, there were only more than 1,000 Guanning iron cavalry stationed in Shanhaiguan, and most of the troops were evacuated to Jinzhou by Zu Dashou. As the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, they fought with the Houjin for many years, but they could only follow the Houjin army in shame along the way, and finally ran back to the lair from BJ City in disgrace.
This group of soldiers who suffered from it had long been dissatisfied with Wu Xiang, and when they stood at the head of the city and watched the Houjin army rushing towards Shanhaiguan, they were enemies who saw each other and couldn't wait to give this group of thieves' ambitions a head-on blow on the spot. However, there was an order from the upper peak, and the order not to attack last night had spread throughout the entire military camp, although he had the intention to kill the enemy, he had to stand at the head of the city like a scarecrow, watching the enemy roar past his eyes, and he couldn't make any intentional moves.
As soon as the gunshots rang out, a trace of happiness even flashed in their hearts, wishing that Wu Xiang would be killed on the spot, so no one launched a counterattack.
With a whistle, and not caring for his own safety, Sebuteng stood on horseback, picked up the wooden megaphone, and anxiously shouted to the city: "Are you all scarecrows? Isn't there a hint of blood? Your brother once died at the hands of Houjin, and now is the time for revenge, what are you hesitating about? Daning's large army is ten miles behind, and it is still too late to pursue, if you want to save Inspector Yuan, open the city gate quickly! Don't forget, you are the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty! ”
Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know who took the lead and shouted: "Brothers, Inspector Yuan has always led us well, let go of Huang Taiji, this is not a move to save Inspector Yuan at all, this is obviously trapping him in injustice!" Those who are willing to follow me to save Master Yuan and avenge the dead brothers, follow me! ”
"Save Inspector Yuan, kill the boar skin! Save Inspector Yuan and kill the wild boar skin! ……”
"Revenge, revenge, revenge! Avenge the dead brothers, avenge the dead brothers! ”
"Revenge, revenge, revenge!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
…………
…………
The whole Shanhaiguan shouted and killed, the soldiers at the head of the city flew down the city and flew on their horses, and the soldiers outside the urn city quickly moved their horses to open the city gate and open a wide passage.
A Guan Ning officer with a full face rushed out of the city gate hole on his horse, raised the spear in his hand, and waved at Sebuteng, who was stunned, "General, don't hesitate, there is only one way out of the customs here, go and chase it!" ”
Sebuten did not expect his words to be so inflammatory, he could not believe his eyes, he was now immersed in his own joyful heart.
At this time, he was cut off by the officer, and then he came back to his senses and waved at the Daning soldiers who were gathering more and more behind him, "Brothers, kill!" ”
Wu Xiang covered the roots of his bleeding ears, stood up from behind the female wall tremblingly, looked at the out-of-control scene, and shouted in a trembling voice: "It's reversed, it's reversed, it's reversed, it's all reversed!" With that, he drew the sword from his waist and went to slash down the soldiers who no longer obeyed his control.
One of the few personal soldiers behind him who was not seriously injured hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "General Wu, by all means." I've seen it before in the army, it's a mutiny! These people are all the direct troops of Inspector Yuan, even if General Zu comes in person, they can't suppress it, the reason why they obey your dispatch is to use General Zu's power to rescue Inspector Yuan, and at this time, they will buy your account! ”
"Hey!" Wu Xiang stomped his foot angrily, and threw the sword in his hand to the ground with a thud, "Everyone, things have come to this point, we can't sit still here, they are busy chasing Huang Taiji now, once they come to their senses, they will definitely come and cut off our heads." We might as well take advantage of the chaos to blend into the pursuing army, and take the opportunity to flee to Ningyuan City to find General Zu, who will definitely uphold justice for us later!" ”
Those pro-soldiers who can still move have lost their former arrogance, you look at me, I look at you, I really can't think of a better attention than Wu Xiang, and now I have to follow him all the way to the dark.
After leaving Shanhaiguan, the relieved Huang Taiji breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that he had finally escaped from Shengtian, his eyes were closed, and he silently thanked God and his ancestors for the blessing of his ancestors.
The Houjin soldiers who had been running wild all night were already exhausted, and they unconsciously slowed down their progress when they left Shanhaiguan.
The officers took a cursory count, and their hearts were full of sorrow, because they found that there were more non-combat attrition than war casualties all the way down the previous night. Some Niu Lu actually fell off the cliff when they fled, some half of them fell into the water and drowned, and some accidentally stepped on a rock and fell to their deaths...... Many people did not die in the war, but somehow died in a night raid.
On the contrary, those Ming prisoners who were tied up in a string were almost undamaged, because even if someone stumbled into the water or fell into the water, the people before and after them would save them for their lives.
After this group of Houjin soldiers didn't have the discipline of being robbers at all, they went to Daming to grab things, not complaining that they were blind at night, and even transferred all these hatreds to Daming. Many Houjin soldiers began to torture those Ming captives who survived by the law, and they wailed all over the field for a while.
Maybe Huang Taiji felt that the soldiers had been suppressed for too long and needed to vent, so he adopted an attitude of turning a blind eye to the actions of all kinds of beasts under him.
It's just that the good times didn't last long, and as soon as Houjin's army walked to the position of the front station, before they could vent the hatred in their hearts, a burst of overwhelming shells whistled overhead, and they regained the tense and exciting feeling of last night when they were bombed.
Huang Taiji, who rode on a tall horse, was confused, here to the east is the sea, to the west is the lofty mountains, and there are Daning chasing soldiers behind, and the dense artillery fire can not rush through at all, and the original smooth road to the sky has become a place of no return. He sat on the horse with a sad cry in his heart, looking up to the sky and howling, "Oh, heavens, are you really going to kill my emperor Taiji today?" ”
