Chapter Fifty-Eight: Jiang Ji Uses a Strategy to Save Miyun Li Wei carelessly let Dolgon go

Hearing that Jiang Zheng and the others had won several battles, the officers and soldiers of the First Cavalry Army led by Li Wei had already been gearing up to show their skills.

They came to the place where the Manchu allied army broke through the wall, used horses to pull the trees blocking the mouth of the Great Wall, and cleared the bottom of the mouth. This is to allow cars and carriages to pass smoothly.

Li Wei and the others are now passing through an outer Great Wall, not a Great Wall heavily guarded by the Ming army. After Li Wei and the others came in from here, they had been silent, and they were approaching the outside of the wall ridge pass to the south.

In order not to expose the target, they set up an ambush on both sides of the mountain road far away from the wall ridge pass. Li Wei personally put on camouflage camouflage and went to the outside of the wall ridge pass with the scouts to investigate. The scouts have already been here, and they are familiar with it. Because there was a beacon tower lookout post outside the pass, they were afraid of being discovered by the sentry, so Li Wei and the others leaned down early and advanced in concealment.

From this point of view, the wall ridge is very steep. Li Wei thought to himself, not to mention firing artillery and arrows, even if you drop a stone, you can kill people; Needless to say, there are still people defending above, even if it is difficult to climb with bare hands, how can the Ming army of more than 100,000 people be lost again and again. Li Weiwei clapped his hand angrily and ordered in a low voice: "Retreat!" ”

Li Wei didn't want to attack the wall, he wanted to cast a net to fish outside the wall.

Li Wei, who went back to the team, rearranged the ambush location. They held a road that the Manchu allied forces had to pass through after they left the customs, which was a relatively lenient place. Ambushed the good people, Li Wei sent a telegram to Jiang Ting. The telegram contained only a few words: "The net is open, just wait for the fish." ”

Jiang Wei received a telegram from Li Wei and said to everyone: "General Li Wei, they have already set up a net!" Let's work harder to get the fish out. We also did not give time for large-scale destruction by the Manchu army. ”

Of the four cavalry divisions, Jiang Zhu took the cavalry division of the Datong Frontier Army with him, and the remaining three divisions of the Fourth Cavalry Army pursued them to the Qiangziling of the northeast defense line in three ways: left, center, and right. Dolgon, who fled in panic at the front, kept leaving a small force of men and horses to intercept the pursuers, but to little avail. They have now given up all their baggage and looted personnel and property, and they have long since left them behind. However, there are also those who sacrifice their lives and money, and they can't run fast with big bags and small bags, and they are on the kiln cavalry, and for such kiln cavalry in the past, they are just a few shots, and they don't want to be prisoners at all. They hate them most of all, these plunderers.

As soldiers, the two sides fight each other on the battlefield, each is the master, no matter how they fight, they will win the respect of the other party, but this kind of bullying and robbing the people is difficult to tolerate. The soldiers of the kiln gang killed them, and no one of the officers would stop them.

The three cavalry divisions of Yaogang cooperated with each other, tightly clinging to the Manchu Qing coalition army fleeing in front, and chased them until Miyun, and their brigade fled into Miyun City, and it was already dark.

The Yaogang cavalry camped just outside the city.

At this time, Tanma reported to Jiang Zhuo: "The Manchu army in Jizhou has fled to Qiangziling, and there is a sea of fire in Jizhou. ”

Jiang Jian stomped his feet and said, "Hey! Jizhou is over! ”

The commander of the Fourth Cavalry Army came over and said to Jiang Ping: "General, will they also burn Miyun tomorrow?" ”

"Hey! These brutes, when they leave tomorrow, will definitely set fire to the city. Jiang Ji sighed and said.

The commander said, "I have an idea, can the general take a look?" ”

"Hmmm! Say it! "Jiang Jian heard that he had an idea, of course he was willing to listen.

"I think so, if they leave tomorrow, let General Li Wei and them clean them up." The commander said, "We might as well make a deal with them." As long as they don't destroy Miyun City, we'll let them go to Qiangziling. Otherwise, destroy them right here! ”

"Good! Good idea! After listening to this, Jiang Jian said a few good words in a row. Because the battle has reached this point, it no longer makes much sense to kill a few more enemies and a few less. It would be best if we could reduce the losses a little. They pursued all the way, and the Manchu army had no chance of sabotage along the way. But in the end, let them burn Jizhou, and it would be a pity if they let them burn Miyun again.

Jiang Jian asked someone to write a letter and shoot it into Miyun City with a bow and arrow. The meaning of the letter is: Dolgon, you have committed a heinous crime by setting fire to Jizhou. Now you are cowering in Miyun City. Tomorrow we can take Miyun, but we don't want the people of Miyun to suffer any more war. We propose that if you ensure the safety of the people of Miyun and the safety of Miyun City, it will not be destroyed. We will open the east gate tomorrow and let you go to the wall ridge pass, leaving you a way to live.

Dolgon quickly got the letter, and after reading it, Dolgon asked Amin, "Can the kiln man keep his word?" ”

"Whether we keep our promises or not, we can all try." Amin said, "Let's not touch the people of Miyun yet, if they don't let us out of the city tomorrow, we will kill the people of Miyun one by one in front of them." If we are allowed to go, we will hurry up, and we will soon be able to run to the wall ridge for dozens of miles. ”

"Good! We wrote back to them, and we agreed to their terms. "Tell our soldiers that you are not allowed to come tonight." Otherwise, the kiln people will know, and it will be difficult to do it tomorrow. ”

Jiang Yan received a reply from Dolgon, and said to the commander of the Fourth Cavalry Army: "It seems that the Manchu army is afraid of us, and it is estimated that they will not harm Miyun." ”

"Do we need to send troops to the side of the wall ridge first, clean them up on the way, and force them to get out of the customs quickly?" The commander asked.

"We keep our promises and let them go." Jiang Pai said, "In fact, in terms of military strength, we can completely annihilate them all." Do you know why we don't? ”

"Oops! I didn't think about it! The commander said.

"You're all military commanders, you can't do it if you don't want to have a problem!" Jiang Jian enlightened and said, "If we destroy the Manchu Dynasty, then what will the emperor do?" ”

"Ou! The emperor will deal with us with all his might. "The commander has a good understanding," we really haven't thought about this yet. ”

"Senior generals have to think about more." Jiang Pai said, "Besides, the Manchu Qing coalition army, a total of more than 100,000 people, we have to eat them all and it will take some effort." Mr. Zhang said that it was not yet time to clean them up, so we didn't have to fight with them. Exercise the team, and fight so that they don't dare to come out and cause trouble. When our army marched to Liaodong, there was not a single Qing army left. ”

"I'm looking forward to this day, but I don't know when I'm going to wait?" said the military commander.

"Huh! I'm not in a hurry at my age, but you're still in a hurry at a young age. Jiang Pai said, "Don't worry, it won't be too long, Mr. Zhang knows it in his heart." ”

At dawn, Dolgon received a report that there were only more than 12,000 Han banner troops of various colors, more than 13,000 Mongolian cavalry, and more than 8,000 Manchu Eight Banner soldiers in Miyun City. Hearing the report, Dorgon groaned for a long time.

Amin came over and said, "Regent, now is not the time to be sad. The kiln gang people did give up the east city gate. Let's go! ”

"Alas! I'm not sad, I just feel that I haven't fought a good battle with the kiln gang people, why did I lose? "When we get out of the gates, we must run as fast as we can, and we will not stop at any of our circumstances." lest they stop us. ”

Amin said, "Don't worry, Lord Regent! I've already arranged this! This time, let's take the lead with our Eight Banners. ”

What Amin said, Dolgon also understands what it means to take the lead, to run away first. However, Dorgon also knew that there were few soldiers in the Eight Banners now, and he really couldn't afford to lose. Now when I go back, Liaodong is going to cry everywhere again.

After opening the gate of Miyundong, Dolgon's guards rushed out first, and then Dolgon and Amin followed. Out of the city gate, they went all the way east to the wall ridge.

At this time, inside the wall ridge, Hauge had already been waiting here with his men and horses. They were the first to arrive yesterday. At this time, only the 10,000 Manchu Eight Banners and 10,000 Mengbaqi soldiers in Haoge's hands had almost no losses. Hauge also estimated that Dorgon would be here right now. When they get here, they go out of the wall and ridge pass, and it is their world. All the officers and men of the Manchurian Alliance, including Hauge, knew that they would be safe here. Hauge could have left the wall ridge and led the team to go first. He stayed here just to see Dorgon's embarrassment.

More than eighty miles away, Dolgon and the others hurried up, and it didn't take long for them to run to the wall ridge. None of the ambush interceptions on the road they imagined took place.

When Hauge saw Dolgon, he rose up and saluted, saying, "Lord Regent, we have withdrawn to the Wall Ridge according to your orders. You see what's next, what do we do? Can't you suffer such a big loss, just go back? ”

Dorgon, knowing that Hauge was deliberately laughing at himself, snorted through his nose and did not speak. Amin came over and said, "The next step is to straighten out the soldiers and horses, let's withdraw first!" ”

"We lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so we just went back?" Hauge deliberately shouted, "Isn't that too cheap for Han people?" Regent, we can't just go back! ”

Dolgon's face turned purple with anger, but they couldn't get up. At this time, the soldier came to report and said: "The kiln man has chased after him!" ”

Ignoring his anger, Dorgon got up and went to the city to look behind him. He found it much easier to attack Qiangziling from behind than from the front, because the fortifications on Qiangziling were mainly against the outside. Thinking of the fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses crowded on the ridge of the wall, Dolgon's back was chilled again. He understood that if the kiln men opened fire, their losses would be too great.

Dolgon didn't bother to say anything else to Hauge, "Hurry up and retreat, or the kiln men will open fire, and we will be in trouble!" ”

Hauge wanted to say something, but Amin went over and pulled him and said, "Let's go quickly!" The artillery of the kiln gang people is too powerful. If you don't go anymore, you can't go! ”

Looking at Amin, whose anxious face was a little deformed, Hauge knew that now was not the time to make trouble, so he rushed out with his men and horses to open the gate first.

The scouts of the kiln gang guarding outside the pass immediately notified Li Wei by radio. Li Wei used the radio to inform Jiang Jian again.

Jiang Jian said to the commander of the Fourth Cavalry Army: "After a while, when the Manchu army is almost withdrawn, we will open fire and drive them out, so that they will not destroy the wall ridge." lest they encounter an ambush in front of them and retreat to the wall ridge. ”

Jiang Ji ordered to send a telegram to Li Wei, saying, "You send us a telegram before you start firing." We'll fire first, and then you will fire again. ”

Li Wei understood what Jiang Tie meant, Jiang Tie was afraid that the defenders on the Qiangziling would hear the guns of Li Wei's ambush, so they would defend the Qiangziling, in that case, Jiang Ting and they would attack the Qiangziling. If Jiang Zhu had fired the cannon first, the defenders on the wall ridge would not have paid attention to the sound of gunfire in the distance outside the pass. Under shelling, they will rush for their lives.

Although Hauge and the others rushed very quickly when they came out of the customs, they were not far from the customs, and their team slowed down. Because entering the customs is the place of the Ming Dynasty, but when we get out of the customs, we have the final say. Hauge thought all the way as the team slowed down.

This time, although there were not many gains, the losses were the smallest, and Haoge had already returned to Shengjing and Shenyang in his heart. I thought I could go back and move Dolgon. This time he made the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty devastated their vitality. I don't know if those Mongols will be able to bow down in the future. The Mongols who cooperated with the attack didn't know what was going on, and it stands to reason that most of the forces of the Yaogang people were used against us, and they should be able to succeed on their side.

Just as Hauge walked all the way to the front of Li Wei's ambush circle, the camouflaged observation post on the tree saw that the Manchu army was coming and notified Li Wei. Li Wei immediately notified Jiang Jian by telegram.

Jiang Ting, who was outside the Wallziling Pass, immediately ordered the artillery that had been prepared a long time ago to shoot the 60 artillery shells at the Wallziling. He was afraid that the wall ridge would be blown up too badly, so he didn't let the 120 heavy mortars be used. Even so, for a while, the flames on the wall ridge were blown up from the sky, and the soldiers of the Manchu army guarding the wall ridge were also blown up and cried wolf. After a burst of shelling, Jiang Zhu ordered to reduce the density of artillery fire, but the shells continued to explode on the ridge of the wall. Jiang Ji gave the Qing soldiers guarding the pass a chance to escape.

The Manchu soldiers guarding the pass also felt that they were too wronged. You all fled, but we were left to wait for the Kiln Men to die. The dense artillery fire had long frightened the Qing officers and soldiers who were not dead. When they saw that the artillery fire had thinned out, they fled one by one from the wall ridge. They thought it would be safe to escape from the wall, because they left the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

But the last group of Manchu soldiers, not long after leaving the Qiangziling, Hauge's team exploded in the middle of countless anti-infantry**.

Li Wei is even more proficient, he buried ** along the road, detonated with electricity, and buried eight anti-infantry ** every thirty or forty meters.

When Hauge and the others heard the sound of cannon fire on the ridge of the wall, they couldn't help but speed up and rush forward. When their vanguard troops, through the first **, the later ** are exactly distributed in the middle of their cavalry ranks. Li Wei ordered "Detonate!" ”

For a while, eight anti-infantry ** were "boomed" into the air, and then these eight powerful anti-infantry exploded on the head of Hauge's cavalry. The prefabricated fragments and steel balls of the anti-infantry ** pounced on Hauge's cavalry. Each ** will blow up a clean space with its own center, and blow up the original space, whether it is a war horse or a cavalry, far away. This hapless Hauge exploded an anti-infantry ** not far from his head. But whether he was the son of Huang Taiji or not, he and his war horse were blown to pieces.

Dolgon, who was following them, heard a violent explosion in front of him and knew that it was not good, and that there was an ambush ahead. Amin also said, "Lord Regent, I said that no one stopped us when we came out of Miyun, and it seems that they have put the ambush here." ”

At this time, Li Wei in front of them rushed out at the same time as their car and the power car, and at the same time they rushed out, the 12.27 mm heavy machine gun and the air-cooled heavy machine gun on the car, and the light machine gun on the power car, opened fire at the same time. Light and heavy machine guns mounted on the hillside also opened fire at the same time. The cavalry of the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of Mongolia who fled on the road were knocked off their horses one by one.

Before they could get ready, the cars and power carts pressed down on them in a horizontal line, and the cavalry followed behind them. It was the first time that Hauge's team had been hit like this, and they fled in a panic.

When Dolgon looked back again, the people left behind by the wall ridge also escaped, and it was obvious that the wall ridge was handed over to the kiln gang people. Dolgon sighed and said, "The kiln people are one ring after another, and they are simply too clever. It looks like we're going to fight to the death today. ”

At this time, the pro-soldier escorted a Han soldier with the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Yellow Banner over, and the pro-soldier said: "Lord Wang, this person said that he knew that there was a path next to it!" ”

Dolgon's eyes lit up, and he went over and pulled the Han soldier and said, "Say it quickly!" Where is the path, if it can take us out, I will reward you again! ”

The Han soldier trembled and said, "I used to smuggle and sell goods with others. Not far behind is a path that can only be passed by one horse, which is a smuggling passage. It is possible to escape from this valley. ”

"There is no endless road!" Amin said from the side.

At this time, some soldiers reported that the Han people on the wall ridge rushed out.

Dolgon took the Han soldier who was delivering the letter and said, "Lead the way, let's rush out." ”

Amin didn't go with them, he grabbed the two Gushan Ezhen and ordered them, one with people to stop the front and keep pressing over the ambush, and the other with people to stop the pursuers who were chasing after them. At this time, both of them understood that this was to send the two of them to death. But the battlefield is often like this, and someone needs to be sent to death. The two Ejin were also unambiguous, and threw the small package they were carrying to Amin. These two small parcels were filled with good things they looted, and they were reluctant to throw them away and carry them with themselves, indicating that they must be very valuable. At this time, the two of them handed the two packages to Amin, and Amin's eyes were full of tears, and he knew that the two of them were not going to return alive. Amin said, "Don't worry, as long as I live, I will send two packages to your family." I'm going to protect the Lord Regent. ”

The situation did not allow for further explanation, and Amin turned and chased after Dolgon.

The information sent by the Han man was really accurate, and he took Dolgon to find a path that could pass through a horse, and Dolgon first led his own soldiers to follow the Han man and escaped from this path.

The two Emin assigned by Amin really lived up to the trust, and they each carried out a suicide attack with a team of men.

Li Wei's cars lined up and drove forward, harvesting the cavalry of the Manchu allied army with fierce fire. They were not in a hurry at all, because behind the car was a large group of cavalry, and the Manchus did not want to rush out from here. Therefore, Li Wei commanded the team, steadily advancing, and constantly compressing the opponent. But suddenly, a group of more than 2,000 cavalrymen, constantly shooting bows and arrows, rushed towards them quickly. This made Li Wei and the others very busy for a while. A fierce sweep of light and heavy machine guns can be regarded as killing this group of cavalry in front of him. However, after these counter-charge Manchu and Mongolian cavalry were killed, many Manchu and Mongolian cavalry still maintained contact with Li Wei.

The team of the 1st Cavalry Division that pursued them behind, they chased this cavalry, and they didn't expect someone to suddenly launch a counterattack against them. The 1st Cavalry Division had to fight with them for a while. Although it didn't take long for them to be wiped out, the 1st Cavalry Division was startled by the brave Manchu and Mongolian cavalry's suicidal assault.

They also held their feet, unhurried oppressor opponents. Use their firepower advantage to constantly eat away at their opponents.

Whether it was the pursuers or the ambush soldiers who surrounded them, they didn't expect that many of Dolgon's men and horses had escaped.

When the two sides of the oppression were about to meet, they found that there was a passage in front of them, and the enemy soldiers were fleeing from there. Li Wei stomped his feet angrily, and said in his heart that I personally led people to reconnoiter around, why didn't I find that there was a path where people could walk.

Li Wei immediately ordered the mortars to block the intersection, and when the artillery kept smashing the shells at the intersection, Li Wei commanded two cars to drive to a high place and use their 12.27 mm heavy machine guns to block the intersection remotely.

Blocking the escape route, Li Wei and the others wreaked havoc on the enemies who were surrounded by them, with ammunition. The bombed Manchurian cavalry and Han Eight Banner soldiers were forced to kneel on the ground and surrender.

Li Wei and the others were careless and let go of more than 9,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners, more than 10,000 Mongolian soldiers, and more than 10,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

Li Wei and Jiang Pai contacted each other on the radio, and Jiang Pai said: "If you wipe them out, you won't be removed from your post when you go back!" You haven't forgotten, what Mr. Zhang said, don't wipe out all opponents this time, as long as they don't dare to attack within a few years! ”

Li Wei only remembered what Zhang Zhimu said at this time, and as soon as he came out, he left Zhang Zhimu's words behind, thinking about how to completely annihilate the opponent. It seems that it was an oversight on his part that saved him. If the Manchu army was wiped out, it would be really troublesome.

Li Wei thought again, if Zhang Zhimu wanted to completely annihilate the hundreds of thousands of Manchu Qing people, he would not only send two armies over. Zhang Zhimu's purpose is to run away and hurt them.

Just when everyone was cleaning up the battlefield, Jiang Jian took the commander of the second division, the commander of the third division, and the cavalry commander of the Datong Frontier Army from the wall ridge mountain.

Jiang Wei came over and exchanged pleasantries with Li Wei, and asked Li Wei to show them the car.

The group of them all came down to look at the car. Li Wei asked the car soldier to drive the car for a few laps, and said: "Hit a few shuttles to open General Jiang Ping's eyes!" ”

The auto soldier drove the car again, and at the same time, he used a heavy machine gun of 12.27 caliber to knock the big trees at the bottom of the mountain to the ground.

Jiang Zhu couldn't help but say: "Be good! You don't have to hit someone, the sound is scared to death. ”

The division commanders also said: "When we go back, we will tell Mr. Chen that we will also be equipped with this car." If this thing were to chase the Mongolian Tartars on the steppe, it would be like chasing rabbits. ”

Li Wei said: "No, we are in the north with the Mongolian cavalry to strafe, not to mention more enjoyable." ”

Li Wei's words hung everyone's appetite even more.

Jiang Jian said: "In the evening, we have a good drink in the wall, and let Li Wei tell everyone what is going on with the Mongolian Tartars in this car, how about it?" ”

"Good! Good! "I gave a division commander all the approval of such a proposal.

Jiang Bao said: "Now make a rough count of the situation, so that I can send a telegram to my family immediately!" Don't let the family be in a hurry. ”
