Chapter 46 Tai Chi Waist Knife
Gao Junshan did not pick up the treasure knife handed over by Cao Wenzhao, but angrily kicked a human head rolling at his feet: "Do you think I am rare these heads? You take my orders as if they were the wind in your ears! I'm not Zhu Youzhen, and I won't use these heads to give you credit. Who are we fighting for? We are fighting for ourselves, for our Chinese people, not for promotion and wealth! ”
Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong had never seen such a big fire in Gao Junshan, but they didn't know what they had done wrong, and the two of them didn't dare to squeak like a wooden stake.
After Gao Junshan was angry, he also knew that they could not be blamed for this incident, after all, they came from the old army, and using human heads as a stepping stone for promotion was a common practice in the old army.
His tone softened, and he ordered, "Drop these heads immediately, Dorgon will be here soon, and we must evacuate immediately." ”
"King Qin......" Cao Wenzhao wanted to say something, but Gao Junshan stopped him and asked him to immediately gather the team and set off, if there is anything, I will talk about it on the way.
Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong ordered their subordinates to drop all the heads, and for a while, 8,000 heads were abandoned, most of these heads were elderly people and children, from this point it can be seen that Gao Junshan was only dealing with a weak brigade this time.
Gao Junshan did not feel sorry for these dead people at all, he knew in his heart that these people should be killed, especially these young people, in another ten years, they will be the new force of the Tartars, and they will also be the executioners of our Chinese people.
"We killed him 8,000 today, all of them are old and weak?" Gao Junshan pointed to the head of a place and asked Cao Wenzhao.
"Well...... so to speak. Among them are quite a few women. ”
Gao Junshan told Cao Wenzhao that these people should be killed, they are all sinners of our Chinese people.
The air smelled of tobacco, and black smoke was rising in the distance. Gao Junshan's procession had already set out, his horses at the head of the procession, and one group marched northeast.
Cao Wenzhao, who was behind Gao Junshan, waved his horsewhip, surpassed Gao Junshan by a horse's head, and then chatted with Gao Junshan: "King Qin, there are a few of these Tartars who can fight, and their commander is a difficult guy, I fought with him for more than 30 rounds before I picked him off the horse." ”
"Don't underestimate these Tartars," Gao Junshan said, "they are good at riding and shooting, and they don't practice kung fu in a day or two." ”
Cao Wenzhao said: "Grandma is a bear! I, Cao Wenzhao, am not afraid of him, don't I just know how to ride a horse! ”
Gao Junshan knew that Cao Wenzhao's kung fu was also good, so he didn't say anything more. Although he was chatting with Cao Wenzhao, he still noticed the changes on the dial, and just as he was looking at his watch with his spare eyes, he noticed a team of 100 people following them.
"Stop!" Gao Junshan suddenly ordered.
Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong held the reins at the same time and gave the order to stop advancing.
"King Qin, what happened?" He Renlong asked.
"We have pursuers behind us."
"Huh?" Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong were quite surprised.
"But there are not many people, I guess it's Dolgon's outpost, let's ambush and annihilate it, do you think it's okay?"
"Dog's Day Ball! These tartars must have followed our footprints, and I think they are tired of life. He Renlong said.
Cao Wenzhao also said: "Obey the dispatch of King Qin." ”
Gao Junshan began to arrange the task: "General Cao and I are waiting for the Tartars to come, General He led the light cavalry to the back of the Tartars, and we will give him a front and rear flanking attack to annihilate him in one fell swoop." ”
"Obey!" The two replied in unison.
After He Renlong led 2,000 light horsemen to leave, Cao Wenzhao began to issue tasks to his subordinates Cao Bianjiao, Feng Ju, and Ping'an.
Gao Junshan looked at the red dots moving on the dial, and estimated that these tailgators would not be able to reach here for an hour, and while there was still time to spare, Gao Junshan asked Cao Wenzhao to take out the waist knife he had just seized and come out to see what he had just captured.
"King Qin, this knife is really a treasure knife, Wen Zhao doesn't dare to keep it as his own," Cao Wen Zhao took out the waist knife from his waist and handed it to Gao Junshan, "Dedicated to King Qin, suppress evil and exorcise demons." ”
Gao Junshan took the waist knife and looked at it carefully, the scabbard is made of copper gilt, wood, wire rope, shark skin composite, the tail end is slightly arc-shaped with the blade, and the handle is made of gold and fine copper.
"Qiang-" Gao Junshan took out the treasure knife and looked at it, the knife was about three feet long, the cold light was shining, and it was engraved with Manchu and Han characters, and he couldn't understand the Manchu text, but only understood the nine words of "Emperor Taizongwen's royal waist knife".
"Indeed, this is a sword." Gao Junshan nodded, took it into his pocket, and then said to Cao Wen, "It seems that the person General Cao killed was not simple, this knife was awarded to him by Huang Taiji in recognition of his military exploits." ”
Cao Wenzhao said regretfully: "It's a pity that I don't know who this person's surname is." ”
Killing an ordinary general on the battlefield is nothing, if you kill a famous general of the other party, then the reputation of this murderer will increase greatly, which is why Cao Wenzhao regrets it slightly.
Gao Junshan comforted: "It's okay, wait a moment when the Tartar comes, let's leave a living mouth to ask, and it will be clear." ”
Since it was cavalry against cavalry, the speed was quite fast, and as soon as the two armies engaged, in a quarter of an hour, the battle was over. There was no suspense in this battle, five thousand against one hundred, and Gao Junshan still had weapons beyond the times in his hands.
In this battle, the neutrino of the high mountains was able to use a pistol and killed a Tartar centurion, who was also the leader of this small army, and with the addition of two fierce Tartars, a total of three Tartars were killed.
This small army is one of Dorgon's elite, and all of them are heavily armoured, especially the one worn by this small leader.
The armor he wore was blue satin, composed of a blouse, a bottom, left and right sleeves, left and right armpit guards, front seams, and left seams, buttons and belts connected into a whole, and one hundred and eighty-six pieces of iron blades were applied inside, and the armpits, front seams, and left seams were all embroidered with fire beads, and several curved narrow iron blades were attached to the sleeves. The bottom is divided into left and right, from top to bottom with five layers of iron leaves, each weighing 38 pieces, a total of 380 pieces of iron leaves on the left and right, and each heavy iron leaf is separated by gold-plated copper nails.
His gizzard is made of iron, with a top plate, front and rear beams, and forehead guards all decorated with iron and gold cloud dragons; The neck, ear and neck guards are all blue satin, embroidered with flames. In the deerskin, the green satin edge, and the iron leaf is applied inside, a total of thirty-five pieces.
Of course, his armor is nothing compared to Gao Junshan's, so Gao Junshan is not interested, but Cao Wenzhao looks at it very carefully and wants to have such an armor. Gao Junshan generously gave this armor to Cao Wenzhao in recognition of his exploits in killing Manzhu Xili.
As for the people killed by Cao Wenzhao, it was learned from the mouth of the Tartar who left him alive, and according to the Tartar, when Dolgon took them out of Shenyang, there were 30,000 men, claiming to be 100,000. Because Yue Tuo was ill on the way here, he had to lead his soldiers and horses back halfway, but in fact there were only 27,000 of them, and no more than 10,000 could really go to the battlefield.
The Tartars also said that Ezhe had disappeared without a trace, and that after Dolgon's grain and grass were burned by the high mountains, they could only kill horses to satisfy their hunger, and they urgently needed to go to Guyuan to loot grain and grass.
Go to Guyuan to rob? Gao Junshan calculated in his heart that Dolgon could not fight more than 10,000 soldiers, and the enemy and us were evenly matched, so they could completely drag him down, or even defeat him, to stop his robbery.
Thinking of this, Gao Junshan had an idea in his heart, so he ordered: "Cao Wenzhao, He Renlong listen to the order!" ”
The two hurriedly stepped forward and waited for Gao Junshan to send them.
He Renlong led the light cavalry to Dolgon's camp to harass him, "There is no sand table, Gao Junshan squatted on the ground and gestured with branches," "You go back the way you came, tie a branch to the tail of your horse, make a big noise, and anger the Tartars, as long as the Tartars come to chase, you will run, and lead them to fight." ”
He Renlong said: "I understand, only defeat is not allowed to win. ”
Gao Junshan shook his head and said, "You don't fight with him, just harass and provoke him." Bring him here. ”
"Obey!" He Renlong led the troops away.
"King Qin, what about me?" Cao Wenzhao asked.
Gao Junshan said: "Hold your troops still, wait for the Tartars to come, pretend to be afraid, and flee in the direction of the Kushui River." ”
Cao Wen said: "This is the method of luring the enemy, very wonderful!" ”
After Gao Junshan finished arranging, he led Bai Wenxuan and Zhuang Youfu back to the Kushui River, where he wanted to set up a rocket array for Dolgon and use the newly developed rockets to fight these barbaric Tartars.
Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong's task was completed very well, mainly because they integrated the combat ideas of Gao Junshan, and the two cooperated tacitly, and in only three days, they deceived Dolgon.
When he saw 5,000 light and heavy cavalry crossing the Kushui River in a crushing army, Gao Junshan knew that his plan to lure the enemy was half successful, and the second half would depend on how well Liu Chenggong's rocket cavalry team played.
"You two have done a great job!" As soon as Gao Junshan saw Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong, he said in an appreciative tone.
Cao Wenzhao said: "King Qin, the Tartar is behind our buttocks, tell the brothers to prepare to fight!" ”
Gao Junshan smiled and said, "General Cao, don't worry, everything is arranged, and I also see the Tartar behind you." ”
"Y-You see?" Cao Wenzhao didn't believe it.
He Renlong also looked at Gao Junshan with suspicion.
Gao Junshan patted Cao Wenzhao on the shoulder and said to the two generals: "Time is very urgent, Liu Junshi has prepared five thousand good horses for you, hurry up and take your team, change horses to rest, and prepare for a new round of battle." ”
He watched the two leave, and then strode towards Liu Chenggong's command position. Liu Chenggong stood on a built arrow tower, observing the movement of the Tartars, and on the high mountain on the arrow tower, Liu Chenggong hurriedly greeted him and said: "King Qin, everything is ready, just wait for your order King Qin." ”
Gao Junshan asked: "Have the rockets entered the position?" ”
"King Qin, please take a look." Liu Chenggong pushed open the wooden window on the side of the arrow tower, "My eighty 'swarm' rockets are neatly arranged in three rows, and five hundred archers have also been arrayed. ”
Gao Junshan followed Liu Chenggong's point, saw rows of mighty warriors, and waved to them.
