Chapter 310: The Last Lament

The northwest direction is Dabie Mountain, Tan Tai originally thought that he would soon be surrounded and intercepted by the Chu army, but after going out for dozens of miles, he only encountered a few small groups of Chu troops passing by, and there was no danger along the way, it was better than a leisurely stroll, and he walked to Taihu County at the junction of Hubei and Anhui (this Taihu Lake is not Taihu Lake, not Taihu Lake with the beauty of Taihu Lake, but Taihu County in western Anhui), and even encountered a Qing army of more than 2,000 people, all of which were green battalion soldiers and the Han Eight Banners under Geng Zhongming.

Asked the generals who led the troops, only to know that Geng Zhongming had been defeated by the Chu army, Geng Zhongming's own whereabouts were unknown, and the 20,000 Qing troops under his command were scattered, most of them were wiped out by the Chu army, only this army escaped to Taihu County, just happened to meet Tan Tai, and the Chu army Zhang Jiayu and other troops were chasing from behind, only twenty miles away from here.

So that's what happened!

Tan Tai suddenly realized that the main force of the Chu army was either chasing and suppressing Tunbul and other Eight Banner soldiers in Anhui, or encircling and suppressing Geng Zhongming in Yingshan, seeing that Tan Tai had been advancing in the northwest direction and had not fled the battlefield, he was not in a hurry to pursue and suppress, and now that they had eliminated Geng Zhongming, they would turn around and deal with Tan Tai and pounce on him from all directions.

"Come on, come on, it's time to fight with the southern thief!"

Tan Tai did not rush to escape, but commanded more than 3,000 Qing troops under his command to set up an ambush in Sikong Mountain in Taihu County, preparing to fight Lu Renqing to the death......

After a fierce battle, Tan Tai dragged his tired and heavy body, with the remnants of less than a thousand people, and once again embarked on the road to break through.

This battle was a draw, the Qing army suffered more casualties, but finally repelled Lu Renqing, Tan Tai with more than 3,000 remnants of the defeated generals, can fight the battle like this, it is also a miracle, after the battle, Tan Tai received the news that Wang Jinbao, the fourth general of Hexi, was not far away in Qianshan County, so he led his troops to Qianshan, intending to join Wang Jinbao.

A few days ago, he just wanted to die, but after this vicious battle on the edge of life and death, the desire to survive became extremely strong, no way, human nature is so complex and full of contradictions, after the passage of time, Tan Tai now wants to break through again, and found a high-sounding reason for himself, he still has less than a thousand Qing troops under his command, whether it is the Eight Banners or the Green Battalion, they are all warriors loyal to my Qing Dynasty, and they can't die here in vain, so he can't die for the time being, and he must bring them back to Beijing.

He led his troops to Qianshan to advance, a distance of dozens of miles, he thought that he would be there with his feet, but he had just walked out not far away, and encountered the two main forces of the Chu army.

He hid his troops in a remote fork of the river, and sent scouts to inquire about the news, and the scouts quickly reported that the main force of more than 20,000 people was besieging Qianshan County, and Wang Jinbao fell into a heavy siege and defended Qianshan County, but there was no food and grass in the river, and there were no rescuers outside, and it was difficult for the mud Bodhisattva to cross the river himself.

You can't go to the hidden mountain!

Tan Tai turned to the northeast, day and night, to the Huoshan area, from this direction and stepped into the edge of the Dabie Mountain, although the mountain road is difficult to walk, but it is also easy to hide the tracks, Tan Tai's good luck once again played a role, with this small army of hundreds of Qing troops all the way forward, did not encounter the pursuit and interception of the Chu army, seeing that Huoshan was in sight, and encountered a Qing army rout, only to know that the Chu army had captured Huoshan, and defeated Zhao Liangdong, the most brave of the four generals in Hexi, was chasing and hunting for the remnants of the Qing army.

Hurry up and turn around!

Tan Tai's original plan was to retreat from Huoshan all the way to the north, through Luzhou Mansion to Hefei, since Huoshan had been lost, he could only turn southeast again and re-enter the territory of Anqing Mansion, but as soon as they walked out of the mountainous area, Lu Renqing's department, who had been searching for Tan Tai's whereabouts, chased after him, and fought a fierce battle by the diving river, killing Tan Tai to the ground, which was regarded as revenge.

Tan Tai suffered two knife wounds on his body, and his left arm was also hit by a firecracker, but he escaped magically, and ran all the way to Tongcheng with dozens of Eight Banner cavalry, and accidentally heard about the whereabouts of Tun Buer, after Tun Buer led his troops to break through, it was also after several twists and turns, and finally joined Sun Sike among the four generals in Hexi, and then retreated all the way to Tongcheng, and then was surrounded by the Chu army in Tongcheng City, and it was difficult to fly......

"Wu Sangui, this old thief, should be beheaded!"

Tan Tai was indignant and furious.

Tongcheng is located in the northernmost part of Anqing Prefecture, not far from Hefei, the Chu army can surround Tongcheng so calmly, and is not worried about being attacked by Wu Sangui on the Hefei side, can only prove one thing, Wu Sangui at both ends of the first rat once again chose to stand still, sit and watch Tan Tai and Tun Buer be surrounded, and sit and watch the active rescue of Hexi Si will be defeated, and secretly may have reached some kind of deal with the Chu army.

In order to expose the ugly face of Wu Sangui, a big "traitor", Tan Tai did not enter Tongcheng, but took a long detour of the road, crossed the triangle mountain and entered the Luzhou Mansion.

Over the Triangle Mountain, it avoided the North Gorge Pass, Lengshui Pass and other checkpoints, Tan Tai's Qing army because of the team and sporadic battles, only more than 30 people left, the horses were also lost when crossing the mountains and mountains, from cavalry to infantry, but in any case, they finally returned to the Qing army-controlled area, Tan Tai and others turned over the Triangle Mountain, went straight to Shucheng County, the dawn of escape is ahead.

Suddenly, the horn sounded, and a group of Ming troops rushed out of the woods, rushing towards Tan Tai and others, these Ming soldiers were in rags, weapons were mixed, and many people were still holding bamboo guns and farm tools, obviously not a normal army, but clearly waving the red flag of the Ming army.

"The thieves are coming, go quickly!"

Tan Tai's guards shouted anxiously, judging from the banner, these Ming troops belonged to a local anti-Qing army, and the standard rabble was more than the Yuyuan army, but their number was too many, there were thousands of people, but Tan Tai's side only had more than 30 people, and they were all tired infantry.

"You don't have to run, you can't run."

Tan Tai pulled out his saber and stood in place to prepare for battle, seeing that the Ming army on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, he suddenly sighed to the guards on the left and right: "Alas, there are too many Han people, and we will never be able to finish killing, maybe, we shouldn't have entered the customs in the first place." ”

If in normal times, this kind of rebellious words will cause a big disaster, let alone talk about it, even if you can't listen to it, but at this moment, the Eight Banners soldiers around Tan Tai are all silent, their faces are lost and dazed, yes, if you had known this result, wouldn't it be good to stay outside the customs all the time?

Without waiting for them to think about it, those Ming troops had already rushed up in groups, and Tan Tai, the thirty or so Qing troops, were drowned in the crowd in a blink of an eye......

By the time the crowd dispersed, Tan Tai had already fallen in a pool of blood, his head was smashed by a hoe, and he died a very tragic death.

In fact, in another time and space, the Manchu Qing Dynasty later conquered the southern provinces, and the Eight Banners were already useless, all relying on Wu Sangui, Geng Zhongming, Hexi Four Generals and other traitor armies to fight the world, in this time and space, the elite of the Eight Banners were thrown in Huguang and Nanzhili and other places by Luck Dehun, Zierharang and others, which accelerated the process, Tan Tai's 30,000 Eight Banners were actually a second-rate army, and they were especially lacking in resilience when the war situation was unfavorable. It was defeated, divided, surrounded, and destroyed by the Chu army......

After the Anqing War, the Qing army was almost completely annihilated, most of the Qing generals such as Tan Tai and Tun Buer were killed, only the old and cunning Geng Zhongming escaped alone, in addition, Wang Jinbao, one of the four generals in Hexi, also died in the chaotic army, Sun Sike was captured, Zhao Liangdong led the remnants to flee back to fat, Daniel Zhang retreated in time, and the losses were relatively small.

After Zhao Liangdong escaped back to fatten, he was soon detained by Wu Sangui, and he was detained with a big hat that disobeyed military orders and was unfavorable to the battle, and on the night of being imprisoned, he suddenly died violently, and all the troops were absorbed by Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui immediately sent envoys to Beijing and Nanjing at the same time, while bargaining with Dolgon, he lost his sincerity to Wang Kefan, and prepared to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.
