Chapter 115: Worship in the middle of the plan
In the Mongol royal city of Huerhot, Dolgon, Aobai, Azig and others sat in the main hall, drinking wine and eating barbecue, they didn't expect that this attack on the Mongol tribes would be so smooth, even God was on the side of the Qing Dynasty, Lin Dan Khan actually died like this.
"Arshan should be the leader in this battle, that arrow is too beautiful, Lin Dan Khan is dead, and the Mongolian tribes will definitely be self-defeating!" Ao Bai stood up and raised his glass to a young general. Alshan, who was praised by name, hurriedly left his seat, knelt down on one knee, clenched his right hand into a fist, and hit his chest solidly. "Slave Al Shan Xie Yu all praise!" After speaking, he looked at the two princes sitting fixedly.
Azig and Dol Luo looked at each other, and then said with a smile: "Fourteenth brother, soldiers should be rewarded for their merits, what do you think of the reward method?" "Promoted to the third level, given a thousand acres of fertile land, and a house, what do the twelve brothers think?" After Azig nodded slightly, Arshan prostrate on the ground and thanked him repeatedly.
"Two princes, the army has been repairing for more than a month, should we take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely wipe out the Erke tribe, the spies accurately reported that they crossed the Yellow River and stationed in the area of Ordos, and it is difficult to ensure that they will counterattack back like the previous time. The minions are willing to be the vanguard of the army! Ao Bai put down the wine glass and clenched his fists and said loudly.
"Good! This is determined to conquer all the tribes of Mongolia to settle the Qing Dynasty, tomorrow to boil the capital to lead 10,000 soldiers to open the march remember not to march recklessly, aimed at deterring Erke, the king and the twelve brothers fell after the army arrived on the same day, if Erke can surrender without a fight, it would be great! Dol said as he threw the letter to Aobai.
Erke and Zhang Yuliang rode on their horses and looked into the distance in the face of the strong wind, "Mr. Zhang, will there be any situation on this road, the cavalry sent to meet them have been gone for two days, and they should be here today according to the day!" In the face of Erke's inquiry, Zhang Yuliang frowned, in fact, he also had no bottom in his heart, after all, such a large amount of materials could not be guaranteed Li Zicheng would not be moved, although Shen Xingxin repeatedly affirmed that nothing would go wrong, and no one would be at ease if he didn't see anything for a day.
"Great Khan, it's here, it's here, it's a long convoy, there are tens of thousands of horses!" As soon as Erke heard the sentry who still cared about it, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and he rushed out like an arrow off the string, and the big stone in Zhang Yuliang's heart followed as soon as it fell.
"Young master, fortunately, I brought all the things that were not dishonored, and the road was unimpeded!" Zhang Xian, who was in the lead, also exhaled a long breath as he spoke, and Zhang Yuliang patted him with a smile: "Shaodong, do you have anything else to explain?" When Zhang Xian heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered beside Zhang Yuliang.
"Immortal God bless, this king's good Anda actually brought salt and medicine! Mr. Zhang, come and see, this gun, this cannon, and such a sharp steel knife...... Father Khan, you have a spirit in heaven to bless your son to retake the royal city and fight back to Vachar Tuchahan City, Genghis Khan's descendants will not be defeated!! Erke knelt on the grass for a long time and did not get up, he looked up to the sky over and over again to vent the grief and anger in his heart.
"Lord Wang, get up quickly, don't be too sad, the top priority is to organize the army, the Tartars must be proud and complacent if they turn over like a bamboo, if we can take the initiative to attack, we will definitely be able to take him by surprise and attack him unprepared." Erke nodded violently after hearing this, then wiped away his tears and stood up straight.
He turned to Tuktu, the great teacher of the Tibetan Red Sect on the side, "I don't know what you think, what do you think?" Tuktu muttered a few words in his mouth, then knelt down to the sky and bowed, and after getting up, he turned the ** in his hand, and after a while, he said: "Nyingma's will is the same as that of the Immortal Heaven, and the Great Khan will return with a great victory this time!" Zhang Yuliang looked at the national teacher very playfully, thinking that the young owner had prepared so many things, where is there a reason to be invincible, you god stick can also play a good calculation when you push the boat down the river.
Erke received the affirmation of the two of them, and his confidence immediately increased, and he raised the big tent to point troops without stopping. "Report to the Great Khan, the Tartar forward 10,000 iron horsemen have crossed the Yellow River yesterday and will arrive two days later!" Coming so quickly, many of the leaders in the big tent were visibly flustered when they heard the spies' report.
Erke slapped the table and shouted, "What's the noise, it's good to come!" The length of the province of Ben Khan has trekked, don't they have Hongyi cannons? Then it's better than a competition to see whose cannon is powerful, the cannon sent by Ben Khan's good Anda is not made of sheepskin, Arnold, you lead 5,000 troops to meet it, Ben Khan wants you to defeat or not win, do you understand? ”
"The Great Khan's Order!" Erke said this, the generals laughed, they also remembered the twenty black and shiny cannons outside the tent at this moment, and suddenly had a sense of confidence in their hearts, the taste of being chased and beaten for more than two months was really uncomfortable, and the herds of cattle and sheep were plundered, and the young grassland girl became someone else's plaything, if you want to say that you are not aggrieved, you can't bear it, you can't fight it before, and there is no way to fight it, and now the weapons are well-armed, the food and grass are abundant, and whoever doesn't want to die, the fierce roar in the big tent shook the sky, and everyone shouted for revenge.
Erke smiled with relief when he saw this, where is there a reason not to win with such morale.
Aobai marched all the way and Ben took Dorgon's words as a fart, and burned and looted the small Mongol tribes who did not rush to flee along the way. As a deputy general, although Arshan has some opinions, he dares to be angry. Huang Taiji had already issued an order to adopt a policy of benevolence against the Mongolian people, and not to kill indiscriminately.
But Ao has always been proud and complacent with his military exploits, and let his subordinates come to him. "Arshan, you kept silent all the way, are you dissatisfied with Ben General's approach? Do you know why the clansmen are so desperate heroes, they don't just want women and property, how can I not be clear about Your Majesty's intentions, but the army can't work outside, the reason why our Manchu iron cavalry is invincible is because they are bloodthirsty wolves, how can you fight this battle if you let the wolves not eat meat? ”
Although Arshan did not agree with Aobai's words, as a veteran of a hundred battles, he certainly understood what motivation drove the soldiers to sacrifice their lives and forget death. "Dutong, Ordos is not far ahead, should we hold off and wait for the prince and them to arrive before making plans!"
When Ao Bai heard this, he waved his horsewhip and burst out laughing. "Al Shan is ashamed that you are still a veteran, don't you understand the truth of this noble and fast soldier? Erke is now a frightened lamb on the grassland, and what they are thinking about now is how to escape, as long as we disperse their momentum in one go, so that the plan set by the prince not to surrender can be effective, understand? Arshan nodded thoughtfully.
"Report to Lord Dutong, the spies found that there are enemy cavalry arrays blocking it hundreds of miles away!" "Erke'er, this is going to run! Do you think that sending some old and weak soldiers will delay time? Order the army to advance at full speed and smash the Erke camp! ”
Arnold looked at the more than 10,000 iron horsemen sweeping across the grassland, and the corners of his eyebrows couldn't help twitching a few times, and the horse under him seemed to feel uneasy, and the horse's hooves kept kicking back and forth.
"General, the Tartars have taken the bait, are we retreating now?" Arnold's eyes were bloodshot, and he turned his head to look at the guard, "Why are you afraid of death, retreat, isn't it clear that now retreating tells the Tartars that we are seducing them?" Are you a fool to be worshipped? The Great Khan asked us to be bait, we have to do it beautifully, for the sake of our dead steppe children, I, Arnold, have no intention of going back alive today! ”
Arnold finished speaking, pulled out the newly equipped stainless steel saber and pointed it to the sky. "Sons and daughters of the grassland, the immortal heaven will bless us, let the Tartars know who is the wild wolf galloping on the grassland today, and the death squad will pull off the lead and break up the Tartar formation for me!"
More than 500 fierce horses came out in response, and the lead of the hand on the back of the horse that was blindfolded was violently pulled out, and the horse roared to the sky and rushed towards the Manchu iron cavalry array with the guidance of the knight.
"Dutong, it's not good that the other party wants to impact our formation, it looks like a dead soldier! We have to guard against the power of their hand slips! Aobai heard Arshan's words shouting loudly and scattered the formation, and the leaders of each squad immediately waved their flags and scattered in all directions, and at this time the five hundred warriors also chased separately, and the earth shook with a huge sound, and flesh and limbs flew all over the sky.
Arnold's saber pointed forward, and the army roared out like a pack of wolves, and when he saw the loss of more than 1,000 horses, his heart was also painful, so the defeat of both sides was clearly to entangle himself, but this also verified his guess that Erke was going to escape, and 5,000 people were old and weak, but they were all abandoned pawns.
Thinking of this, the roots of his angry teeth itched, and he immediately ordered to shrink back into formation and launch a frontal assault on this group of poor sheep. The cavalry battles were the bloodiest and most brutal, and everything came and went as fast as they came, and after a few rounds Arno had less than two thousand men left behind him, and the armor on his shoulders was cut through the flesh of several swords himself. But he smiled very happily, tightened the reins, turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.
"Dutong, they're going to run!" "Run, is it too late to run at this time, General Ben thought that there would be real warriors among the Mongols, but now it seems that it is just a bluff! Give me chase, I'm going to stomp the thief's head! ”
"Dutong, now we have also lost nearly 2,000 men and horses, what if there are ambushes ahead, is it waiting for the prince and them to arrive!" Arshan wiped the blood from his face and said.
"Arshan, you have been afraid again and again, if it weren't for your previous military exploits, the general would have been engaged in military law a long time ago, and Hugh would have to make noise again, and the Erke army would be distracted if he didn't fight at this time!"
Erke's 30,000 cavalry were scattered in a triangular pattern, each holding a long new type of firearm in his hand, although it was not the latest type, but it also completely eliminated the ignition procedure, especially the reloading of bullets greatly saved the time of attack.
"Why hasn't Arnold come back, will something happen?" Some of the leaders were anxious, and Erke was smoking the cigarette brought by Shen Xing, but when he saw the big flag of his team fluttering in the cold wind, his face finally overflowed with a smile, and then he slammed the cigarette to the ground.
"The warriors on the left and right flanks obeyed Ben Khan's orders to advance at full speed and cut off the enemy's retreat!" The dull horn whined, Arnold was overjoyed when he heard the sound, and led the remnants of the army to scatter into the army, looking at the pursuers who were only about a thousand meters behind him, and stopped moving forward, but the advantage of the cavalry is to rely on the impact of speed, if there is no courage to fight, it is equivalent to the meat on the chopping board to be slaughtered.
"All of you, the enemy has copied our army formation, we have a plan, quickly retreat, concentrate the army to break through in one place, there is still a glimmer of hope!" Ao Bai looked at Erke's sweat banner and regretted his impulsiveness at this time, the enemy army came prepared at a glance, and the dry black fire gun was simply a nightmare for the cavalry, but why did Erke, who was like a wounded dog, suddenly have such sophisticated equipment, could it be that Daming still has the ability to help Erke when it is difficult to protect himself.
"Doesn't Ben know about the scheme? Now our army is difficult to care about, and if you rush to any side, you will definitely be bitten to death! Ben Jiang can't go back today, but as long as my banner is in Erke, I will relax my vigilance, and when you lead the escort to break out, you must inform the two princes of the situation here, so that I can be regarded as a well-deserved death! ”
"Dutong, let me rush to kill, you break through!" "Arshan, don't you know the life and death of my 50,000 cavalry in the Qing Dynasty? If the prince didn't know the situation of the Erke army and rashly attacked, have you thought about the consequences, without me to lead the troops to rush to kill him, Erke Xiao'er can put his mind at ease? Hugh has to say more, you can arrange it yourself! The warriors of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, Erke Xiao'er, are in front of him, and he will attack his big tent with Ben, and whoever cuts off his head will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and ten thousand households! Come on! ”
