1072 Here he comes
Late at night, although the Manchu soldiers of the Tiger Skin Station reached an all-time high, they were finally quiet. However, I don't know how many soldiers either closed their eyes and pretended to sleep, or simply opened their eyes and looked at the dark roof, all of them unable to sleep.
The battle of life and death, once lost, the Qing Dynasty will be destroyed, and their personal fate will definitely not be good. They are self-aware of this. If it were possible, if he knew that one day the Qing Dynasty might die, or if he would not have mistreated the Han slaves so much, his hands would not have been stained with so much Han Nu blood, right?
What will happen tomorrow? I hope that under the leadership of the emperor, I can really defeat those Ming troops!
Although I think so, the situation is not optimistic, and this is something that everyone can feel. Tomorrow...... Tomorrow......
On this night, I don't know how many Manchu soldiers secretly prayed to all the gods and Buddhas in their hearts. Pray for themselves and for the Manchus.
When dawn was approaching, the nervous Manchu soldiers had just fallen asleep. But when the sky in the east showed a hint of fish belly white, when the sun's brilliance was about to be sprinkled on this land of Liaodong, the Manchu soldiers were suddenly woken up, not by the order of the Shangguan, but by the sound of horses' hooves in a hurry.
Although there are not many horses' hooves, it can even be said that there are only a few, but the tiger skin post is not big, and the sound of horses' hooves hurriedly trampling on the land of Liaodong is not too familiar to the Manchu soldiers who are old in the army.
Under the head of the tiger skin post city, two Manchu exploration horses galloped from the north, seeing that the city gate was still closed, they hurriedly pulled the reins, the war horse was in pain, and stood upright with a cry of "boom", and the Manchu exploration horse seemed to be stuck to the horse's back, which showed that the riding skills were good. However, this Manchu explorer did not have the slightest pride, but was full of anxiety, and shouted loudly to the city: "Tell the emperor, twenty miles north of the city, there are about three thousand Ming cavalry. ”
In the north of the city of Hupiyi, which is the direction of Shenyang, the three thousand Ming cavalry suddenly appeared behind, not only cutting off the possibility of this army retreating to Shenyang, but also surprised them, how could there be three thousand Ming cavalry behind it? Where did they come from?
The Manchu guard on duty at the head of the city was shocked and hurriedly sent someone to report to the emperor.
However, as soon as he sent out his people, he saw the direction of the west of the city, and galloped back a few horses to the north of the city, and did not care at all why there were accomplices under the city. Just like the previous exploration horse, after a sharp stop, he shouted anxiously to the head of the city: "Tell the emperor, more than twenty miles west of the city, I found that there are about 4,000 cavalry troops of the Ming Kingdom!" ”
The Manchu wheel guard at the head of the city was so frightened that he almost didn't stand firm, this time, he didn't go to tell him immediately, but shouted with a face full of disbelief and asked: "Where are so many Ming cavalry from here?" Isn't it bad? Lie about the military situation, watch your head! ”
"The slave dares to vouch with his head, four thousand Ming country cavalry, only a lot more!" The probe from the west pointed to his head and almost roared in reply.
At this time, the guard on duty had to believe it, even if he couldn't figure it out, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent someone to the imperial camp to make a report. After only a while, he saw Zilharang hurrying in, his face was unusually ugly, and he asked loudly, "What's the matter?" Where did so many Ming cavalry come from? ”
At this time, the identity of the Tanma outside the city had been verified, the city gate was opened, and the Tanma had just entered the city. Hearing Lord Belle's question, they didn't know, so they had to repeat the news they had told before.
However, one of the Tanma was older, or more knowledgeable, and he replied to Zilharang with a remark: "Lord Belle, the slave guesses, it may be ...... It may be the Mongols who took refuge in the Ming Kingdom! ”
Or only this explanation can answer why there were so many cavalry troops in the Ming army. You know, the cavalry is not an ordinary class. Before the Ming Kingdom, there might have been so many war horses!
While they were talking, they heard the sound of horses' hooves in a hurry, and in their astonishment, they heard the general on duty at the head of the city shouting with a hint of panic: "To the east...... The scouts from the east have returned! ”
Zilharang's heart sank suddenly, and he no longer cared about the few horses in front of him, and made two steps with three feet, and almost trotted up to the city. In just this moment, the horses outside the city have already arrived under the city.
Zilharang looked down, and saw the probe horse in a panicked voice and said: "Tell the emperor quickly, less than thirty miles to the east, I found that there are as many as three thousand cavalry of the Ming Kingdom!" ”
These are tens of thousands of cavalry, how is it possible! The first feeling of Zilharang was that it was fake. But he quickly thought of the guess that the older Tanma had just now.
It is impossible for the Ming Kingdom to have so many cavalry troops, and only when the Mongols also come, it is possible to have such a large-scale cavalry! But...... But Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, didn't he temporarily go to Liaodong, did he have the power and the time to transfer the Mongols over?
Suddenly, he thought of a key point, and immediately shouted and asked the city: "Confirm that it is the Ming cavalry, not the Mongolian cavalry?" ”
"It's true, what the slave saw, it is indeed the uniform of the Ming army!" Tanma replied without hesitation.
At this moment, Zilharang was a little confused again, and it was really difficult for him to understand this military situation? However, the military situation did not dare to delay, he immediately sent someone back to inform Huang Taiji, and at the same time drank the order, and continued to send a horse to investigate the inexplicable situation of the Ming army's cavalry.
After a while, Huang Taiji hurried over, his eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that he hadn't slept well last night. Before he could speak, in the other direction, Dai Shan also hurried over, with two big bags under his eyes on his face, obviously, just like Huang Taiji, it was estimated that he had insomnia last night.
Both of them didn't care about the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers, and they all grabbed Zilharang, who had arrived at the head of the city first, to ask about the situation.
"What's the matter, where are there so many Ming cavalry?"
"How could the Ming Kingdom gather all the Nine-Sided Cavalry and send it over?"
In the face of the questioning of the two, Zilharang was also a little helpless, unable to answer, so he had to emphasize the abnormality he found and said: "It stands to reason that there are so many cavalry troops, and it makes sense that the Mongols are here." Kechen has confirmed that these cavalry soldiers are wearing the uniforms of the Ming army! ”
As soon as he heard this, Huang Taiji stood stunned for a moment, and suddenly lost his voice and said: "I know, I know, this is the cavalry on the other side of the Hetao of the Ming Kingdom." If it's really like what you said, it's definitely the cavalry of the Ming Kingdom Naturalization City! ”
Hearing this speculation, Dai Shan didn't understand, and immediately asked his question: "Lu Xiangsheng is only the governor of Denglai, and he can command all the people and horses on the front line of the Ming Kingdom, which is already the limit, how can he have the right to mobilize the cavalry on the other side of the Hetao?" That's impossible! When pigs fly! ”
At this time, Huang Taiji did not turn his head to look at Dai Shan, but just lowered his head. At this time, the figure of the young emperor flashed in his mind, standing at the head of the city of Jingshi, in front of the soldiers of the two armies, and swore to the sky: "One day, I will definitely drive the imperial expedition and recover Liaodong!" ”
Thinking like this, Huang Taiji's face turned as pale as a dead man's face, and he muttered there: "He came, I knew that it was him who came!" Yes, it must be him, he's coming......"
Hearing what he said, several people around him were a little surprised, and for a while, all eyes turned to him, and Dai Shan couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, who is here?" ”
They could see that their emperor seemed to be frightened even by his guts, and there was no fighting spirit in him. Who is this "he"? They were very curious!
After Dai Shan asked a few times in a row, Huang Taiji raised his head, but instead of looking at Dai Shan, he looked in the direction of that side. However, they were all at the north gate at this time, and they couldn't see the situation on the official road outside the south gate at all.
At the same time, Huang Taiji continued to mumble to himself, and at the same time answered Dai Shan's question: "When he came, I saw it, when he swore an oath in Jingshi City, I saw it, he must not be underestimated......"
Hearing this, Dai Shan suddenly realized, and shouted loudly: "Emperor Ming? ”
After speaking, he also confirmed at once that except for the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, the others, including the old man of Jiliao Governor Sun Chengzong, could not mobilize the soldiers and horses in the Hetao area. And to the extent of mobilizing soldiers and horses in the Hetao area, since the Emperor of the Ming State has promised to drive the expedition in person, then nine times out of ten, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom must really come!
Jierharang didn't go to the nearest Emperor Chongzhen with Huang Taiji and Dai Shan, but then he also knew about the conversation between the two emperors at that time, and when he heard the words of these two people, he immediately understood that it must be the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom. The emperor was so depressed because he understood that the emperor of the Ming Kingdom must have come with heavy troops to recover Liaodong in one fell swoop.
With the national strength of the Ming Kingdom, the national strength of the Qing Dynasty was consumed, this was simply a trick between a man in the prime of life and an old man waiting for death, and the battle for the survival of the Qing Dynasty did not have a chance of winning. And from the current point of view, as soon as the Qing Dynasty came out of Shenyang Jiancheng, as soon as they entered this tiger skin post, the Ming cavalry surrounded them on all sides, which has already shown that the Qing Dynasty fell into the calculation of the Ming Emperor.
All of a sudden, these Manchu leaders in the city were thinking about things with their own hearts, and no one spoke. And the city fell silent.
At this moment, there seemed to be a sound of thunder, faintly, rumbling, from far and near.
But all the veterans of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as long as they distinguish a little, they are frightened one by one. They could hear that the faint rumble was not thunder, but the sound of thousands of horses' hooves. At this point, the Mongol allies have long turned their backs on the Ming Dynasty, and they don't need to see what kind of cavalry those cavalry will be!
Huang Taiji and the other slave chiefs at the head of the city, including the Manchu soldiers on duty at the head of the city, all looked up into the distance, only to see that at the end of the sky, whether it was the official road or the field, slowly embraced a red line, like thunder on the edge of the sky, rolling over.
Get a little closer, and you can see the big red mandarin duck robes, countless horsemen, rolling up the overwhelming dust, and rushing straight to the tiger skin post.
The east, west and north of the Ming cavalry seems to be an appointment, almost at the same time to arrive at the Tiger Skin Station, more than 10,000 cavalry troops surrounded the small Tiger Skin Station, this momentum is the first to catch people, just the sound of horses' hooves, has shocked the Manchu soldiers without fighting spirit.
Huang Taiji looked at the top of the city, and sure enough, he confirmed that many of the Ming cavalry troops besieging the city were Mongols. It's just that they were wearing the uniforms of the Ming army at this time, and it was obvious that they were Mongols who had been annexed by the Ming State.
Judging from their faces and demeanors, there is no reluctance to be annexed at all. Each of them seemed content, all with confidence, and seemed proud that they were Mingjun!
Surrounded by these troops, there is a banner with the word "Hong", and there is a civil official wearing a big red scarlet robe, needless to say, this person should be Hong Chengchou, the naturalized governor of the Ming Kingdom. For this person, Huang Taiji has also heard of it, and knows that he is also a very capable person, and the emperor of the Ming State sent him to govern the newly occupied Hetao, which can also be seen one or two. This Hong Chengchou's identity is higher than that of the governor of Denglai, and the only one who can command is the young man who swore an oath on the head of Jingshi City!
These Ming cavalry troops who arrived at the Tiger Skin Station did not attack the city, nor did they come forward to shout, but just surrounded the Tiger Skin Station. Everyone rested on the spot, their robes puzzled, as if they were waiting for someone.
Although the Ming army did not move, this momentum seemed to have entered the city and the hearts of every Manchu soldier. When the Manchu soldiers had dinner, it was originally the moment that the Manchu soldiers were most looking forward to, but it was extremely quiet. Some people have no appetite to eat, while others are desperately eating, like they don't want to be a starving ghost if they die.
Huang Taiji and the others at the head of the city did not have any appetite, and slowly moved with heavy footsteps, heading towards the southern city wall. When it was confirmed that the commander of the Ming army was actually not the governor of Denglai, but the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, these slave chiefs already knew that from the beginning of the war, the Qing Dynasty had no chance of winning!
I don't know when, Huang Taiji and others saw at the head of the city that the commander of the Ming army outside the city, Hong Chengchou, who was wearing a big red scarlet robe, had also arrived in the south, and did not pay attention to the tiger skin station, but looked south, and from time to time did not receive reports from him at night, and he always looked at the south.
Looking at all this, Huang Taiji knew something, and he also looked into the distance of the official road in the south. He just wanted to see what happened to that young man who hadn't seen him for a few years.
During this period, Ao Bai and other guards advised Huang Taiji several times, and wanted Huang Taiji to go to dinner, but he ignored it. Later, even if Daishan and Jilharang persuaded him, he ignored it.
At this time, Huang Taiji wanted to see that young opponent. When the Qing Dynasty was the most powerful, after the young man made an oath, he was able to turn things around and grind the Qing Dynasty into this, and now it is even time for the country to be destroyed, what kind of young man is that young man?
