The White and Blue Flags had returned, and Dorgon had them stationed in the southwest and northeast of Mount Hada, respectively, leaving the middle spot for Haug's Yellow Banner.

Hauge chose to camp on the road, facing the path in the mountains, and he was waiting for the red flag men to withdraw from Hada Mountain, and in a few moments, the soldiers with yellow flags came out of the dense forest one after another.

But Hauge almost crooked his nose in anger, obviously eight Niu Lu, 2,400 people went to search the mountain, and less than half of them returned to the camp, could they have lost their way?

Hauge looked at this small and not very high Hada Mountain, although it was densely forested, it was only a mountain peak after all, far worse than the old camp where the Jurchens lived, how could the warriors get lost in such a terrain?

Could it be that the Han people dug traps in the mountains?

He once again let the trumpeters blow the horns, hoping to guide the soldiers who had not yet returned to the camp, however, he was disappointed again.

Not many people returned to the camp, and there were only a few sparse voices in front of the mountain, and they still climbed with rolling.

Haoge was angry from his heart, such a soldier is really a shame on the face of Dajin Kingdom! He rushed out of the camp, grabbed a soldier by the collar, and said viciously, "What's the matter with you?" Hearing the order to withdraw troops, why didn't they return to the camp in time? ”

"Lord Baylor......" the soldier suddenly howled, "little one...... Wounded, hearing the order to withdraw their troops, they ...... They all ran away, leaving only the little one in the forest...... Small...... It took a lot of effort for the little one to crawl out of the dense forest......"

"Hurt?" Hauge also felt that his hands were sticky, so he let go of the soldier's neckline, put his palm in front of his nose and smelled it, and sure enough, there was a smell of blood, "How did you get hurt?" ”

"Small...... The little one didn't know, the little one was just searching the mountains at the time, and he didn't know where the Han people were hiding...... "The soldier snorted and cried," Lord Belle, the little one ...... Small handicap...... I can't come back......"

"And what about the warriors?" Hauge is most concerned about the soldiers who have not yet withdrawn, "why don't they ......withdraw when they hear the order?"

"They ......," the soldier stopped talking, but when he saw Hauge's blood-red eyes, he said, "They're all dead, Lord Belle, and those who can come back have returned......"

"What? Dead ......" Hauge jumped two feet high, and when he landed, he kicked the soldier again, "You minion, come on, what happened in the woods?" ”

"Lord Belle, the little one just entered the woods when he was shot down...... The little one really didn't know what was going on, and when the little man fell to the ground, he saw fire everywhere and a 'crackling' sound......"

Hauge had also heard such a sound, and learned from Dorgon's mouth that it was the sound of a Han firearm.

The more Hauge thought about it, the more wrong it became, in just one hour, more than 1,000 casualties under the yellow flag? Impossible, how could the Han people have such a strong fighting force?

He personally took his guards to inspect the camp and found that 1,200 people had not returned, and among the soldiers who had returned, only a dozen were wounded.

What's going on?

Hauge did not know the answer, so he went to the white flag barracks in the southwest and sought answers from Dolgon.

Dolgon listened to Hauge's words, and immediately frowned, "It is impossible for the Han people's firearms to be so powerful, right?" Maybe the warriors were injured and couldn't get down the mountain for a while...... but they were secretly frightened in their hearts, if it was a wound like Sakhalian's, the "iron piece" would remain in the body, and even if the wound was bandaged, it would be useless, and when the time came, it would either die or end up crippled.

Hauge had already lost his mind, so he had to look at Dolgon, "Uncle Fourteen, what now?" Do you want to rescue them and come back? ”

"Rescue?" Dolgon said to himself, for the warriors, if they are disabled, it is better to die in battle...... Then he frowned tightly and said, "Hauge, it's getting late now, and once it's dark, our eyes won't be able to see anything......"

"Uncle Fourteen, we can light the torch......" Hauge was so anxious that he almost burst into tears, the yellow flag is not yours, and you are not distressed if the warriors are killed or wounded.

"Lighting a torch in the middle of the jungle is just the target of the Han Chinese......" Dolgon shook his head, still disagreeing.

"Uncle Fourteen, what should I do then? Do you want to watch the warriors die in vain in the forest? Haug pleaded.

"Hauge, you don't have to hurry," said Dolgon, pondering for a moment, "you let the warriors rest early, and tomorrow at dawn we will search the mountains and rescue the wounded warriors." ”

Hauge's sadness, can the injured warriors hold up until tomorrow?

However, Dolgon was right, he could not see the path clearly at night, and when he entered the forest, he could not search for the casualties, and besides, the Han people were still in the dense forest, and they could suddenly fire cold arrows at any time......

Now to search in the dense forest, it is obviously to send them to death, and they can only wait until dawn, hoping that they can hold on!

Hauge drooped his neck and got up to go back, but Dorgon admonished: "Hauge, how many soldiers the Han have, we don't know, we must guard against the Han people stealing the camp at night." ”

Haoge nodded Muran, "Fourteenth uncle, don't worry, I will let the warriors block the mountain path with arrows, in the dense forest, the warriors cannot ride horses, if the Han people go out of Hada Mountain, they will be asked to pay for the casualties of the warriors." ”

Dolgon shook his head, and said in his heart, after being hit so hard, he still didn't have a long brain, "Haoge, the Han people are familiar with the terrain, and they don't necessarily take that trail if they want to go out of the mountain." ”

"I understand, in addition to the mountain trails, on all sides of the camp, I will also send soldiers on duty!" Hauge said goodbye and went back to his barracks.

The warriors suffered heavy casualties today, and Dorgon did not say a word of comfort...... Hauge suddenly remembered that it seemed that Dorgon had asked him to search the mountain, and that he had already lost a cow with the red flag, and even Sakhalian had been wounded......

Is Dorgon calculating the yellow flag?

Yes, when he returned to Shengjing, he told Amma that Dolgon knew that there were Han ambushes in Hada Mountain, but he tempted himself, saying that there were no ambushes on the mountain, only women and property, which caused the Yellow Banner to be ambushed and suffered heavy losses......

Dolgon, just wait!

Hauge had made up his mind, and felt much better, and many wounded soldiers remained on Hada Mountain, and he was no longer worried, because their injuries had nothing to do with him, they were all caused by Dorgon.

Seeing that Hauge had not yet had dinner, the guards sat in the big tent one by one, knowing that he was worried about the casualties of the warriors, so they lifted the rolling curtain and said cautiously: "Lord Belle, it has passed the unitary hour, the mutton has been roasted, do you want mare's milk wine?" ”

Hauge felt hungry at this time, but the warriors suffered too many casualties to make a difference, and the mutton could not eat too much, so he said lazily: "A leg of mutton, and two bags of mare's milk wine!" ”

"Yes, yes, let's get the little one!" Seeing that Hauge did not scold, the guards were overjoyed, and hurriedly opened the rolling curtain and went away.

………………………………………………………………

On Hada Mountain, Li Zicheng was eating dry food with Zhou Bin and Song Wen, and because it was inconvenient to make a fire, he could only drink some cold water.

Zhou Bin bit the pancake into the moon, and said while chewing: "Governor, a lot of people died in Tartar today, right?" ”

"According to Gao Yigong and Wang Junzhuo's reports, the cavalry killed at least a thousand Tartars, as well as some wounded soldiers," Li Zicheng frowned and said, "However, the tiger cavalry and the wolf cavalry suffered greater losses, and the dead and missing alone exceeded 1,500 people......

Song Wen kept his head down, chewing silently, and said: "The Grand Governor, General Zhou, Tiger Cavalry and Wolf Cavalry are just false tricks, the purpose is to attract the Tartars to Hada Mountain, and today the Tartars are going up the mountain, and the casualties are not few......"

At this moment, a soldier came to report: "The Governor of the Metropolis, the two generals, the corpses of the Tartars on Hada Mountain, have basically been counted." ”

"Tell me, how's it going?" Li Zicheng put down the pancake in his hand and stared at the soldier with his eyes.

This is the first time that the Mandate of Heaven has fought against the Tartars, and if they can defeat the Tartars, they will surely accumulate confidence in the hearts of the soldiers.

"Back to the Grand Duke, we have found more than 1,500 people in the forest, and the wounded soldiers have been solved!"

"Fifteen hundred?" Li Zicheng was overjoyed, "It's even greater than Gao Yigong and Wang Junzhuo's military exploits?" ”

Zhou Bin and Song Wen were also happy, these 1,500 Tartars were all their military exploits, the two looked at each other and smiled, Song Wen hurriedly said: "You are not mistaken, right?" Tartar casualties are so large? ”

"Back to the general, the brothers were also surprised, so the corpse was lit three times, and now the corpse has not yet sparked, and the general can ......count it at any time."

"Haha," Li Zicheng laughed, "It's only one day of fighting, and 10,000 Tartars will be finished with 2,500, plus the wounded soldiers, I'm afraid it's more than three!" ”

"Hahaha......"

"Hahaha......"

Zhou Bin and Song Wen also laughed, in the dead of night, and their voices spread far away......

Zhou Bin suddenly said: "Dadu Governor, there is no moonlight in the first half of the night tonight, and the Tartars are newly defeated, so it is better to rob the camp tonight......"

Song Wen frowned and said, "Isn't the Tartar guarded?" ”

Li Zicheng waved his hand, picked up another piece of pancake, tore off a small piece, threw it into his mouth and chewed it, "Zhou Bin, tell me what you think!" ”

Zhou Bin said: "Dadu Governor, according to the observation of the brothers, the Tartars are camped at the foot of the mountain, if we move the mountain artillery to the foot of the mountain, we can directly bomb them......"

Song Wen pondered for a moment and said, "Grand Dudu, once the Tartars escape, you can let the tiger cavalry and wolf cavalry pursue you at night!" ”

"Also," Li Zicheng said: "We used mountain artillery to bombard the Tartar camp in the southwest of Hada Mountain, and the Red Banner Yue Tuo Department stationed in the northeast of Hada Mountain, seeing that the situation is critical, we will definitely raise troops to rescue, at that time, the second battalion hidden at the northern foot of Hada Mountain, as well as the cavalry of the Watabu Bag, can attack and cut off the back road of the Tartars!" ”

Zhou Bin smiled: "It turns out that the Metropolitan Governor has already designed it...... No wonder the Grand Governor hid the second battalion of cavalry at the northern foot of Mount Hada......"

Li Zicheng was noncommittal, there was a reason why Li Guo's troops and Watabu tribes were hidden at that time, although Li Guo's second battalion was cavalry, its combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of nomadic cavalry, whether it was tiger cavalry, wolf cavalry, or Tartar cavalry.

And the Watabu tribe has only recently recovered, mainly by force and coercion, and the loyalty cannot be determined, so it cannot be used on the blade.

If it is a sneak attack, pursuit, and a tailwind battle at night, it will not only let the Watabu tribe see the combat effectiveness of the Mandate of Heaven, but also let them shoot the Tartars, cutting off their back road, and after tonight, they will be the enemies of the Tartars, and there is no second way except to follow the Mandate of Heaven Army.

Song Wen pondered for a moment and said: "Governor Dadu, his subordinates suggest that after a while, use mountain artillery bombardment, and aim at the camp with yellow flags, it is said that the yellow flag belongs to Huang Taiji's personal leadership, and the combat effectiveness is strong......"

"No, the object of the shelling should be the white flag stationed in the southwest of Hada Mountain!" In the history of later generations, it was he who led the Manchu cavalry to break through the Shanhaiguan Pass, and since then the Han people have been enslaved for hundreds of years......

History has changed, and it's best to blow up Dorgon tonight!
