Chapter Twenty-Six: Blood Flowers Fall to the Ground
Tang rode in a hurry, and more than 10,000 Houjin behind him bit tightly, and the distance between the two sides was only three hundred meters.
After the rain of golden arrows, it continued.
Tang Cai, who was often dragged behind, turned around to shoot, and the opponent took the opportunity to close the distance.
In just one mile, Tang Qi lost nearly a hundred.
Most of them fell to the ground with arrows.
Hong Chengchou led the Ming army to attack the camp, and at this moment he was reorganizing the queue in chaos.
Seeing that Tang Qi had rushed into a hundred steps.
The word "Tang" on the white flag is very conspicuous.
Hong Chengchou's eyes showed joy, but he didn't expect the other party to throw himself into the net.
Just 200 steps away from the battalion, the Ming army ordered archery one after another.
Suddenly, the sky was covered with arrows.
But at the moment when the arrow started, Tang Xidong had already taken the Tang cavalry behind him, divided into two, circled the camp, and headed towards both sides.
Just avoid the rain of arrows.
Tang Qi came in two groups.
In an instant, more than 10,000 Houjin behind him was revealed.
Hong Chengchou's face stiffened, and his heart was like five thunderbolts, and he froze in the camp.
The Tang thief actually attracted Houjin.
Tang Xidong led the army to divide into units, went around the camp, ignored the Ming army in the camp, and just blindly fled.
While Tang Xidong circled the camp and exposed the Houjin cavalry behind him, he happened to let the Houjin scouts who were in the lead also see the black pressure in the camp to arrange the Ming army.
And the rain of arrows that kept shooting down in the sky.
Suddenly, they braked one after another.
At the right time.
The galloping Tang Qi shouted in unison again: Lord Hong, Houjin has been attracted by us, so don't leave it at that.
Then he called again: Dolgon, Azig's body is in the camp.
Dolgon, the corpse of Azig is in the camp.
Dolgon, the corpse of Azig is in the camp.
Three times in a row.
Then they beat their horses and detoured to the camp, and then went to the plains in the distance.
I heard the call of Tang Qi.
Hong Chengchou was shocked again, his heart was not good, and he fell for the trick of the Tang thief.
In the distance, Dolgon rushed to his horse, and at first glance he was shocked when he saw the black pressure pressing the Ming army.
Hearing the distant call again, he subconsciously raised his eyes to look, and saw the corpse of Azig hanging on the pole, his heart was shocked, and tears suddenly overflowed in his eyes.
A mother and compatriots, growing up together, how can they not recognize their brother's corpse?
Suddenly, Dolgon's grief and anger were unquenchable.
Where is it important for the Tang thief who fled at this moment to have his brother's corpse.
looked resentfully at the direction Tang Qi left.
Dorgon gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to pursue.
"The whole army attacked, slaughtered into the camp, and recaptured the corpse of the elder brother!"
Moment.
Later, the Jin cavalry rushed to the camp on horseback.
At this moment, Hong Chengchou has not yet woken up from the sudden shock.
When the generals saw that Jin was killed, they naturally ordered to shoot.
Suddenly the rain of arrows began again.
The two sides engaged in an instant.
By the time Hong Chengchou woke up, it was too late.
The army had been fighting together, and the idea of retreating and fleeing had turned blank.
The army is fighting, and if you evacuate at this moment, it will be a defeat in an instant, and I am afraid that there will be deserters all over the mountains.
Hong Chengchou, a civilian official, really didn't dare to block himself from escaping faster than his soldiers.
The Great War has begun, and now there is only one way to meet it.
After a long time.
Tang Xidong had already led the cavalry to two miles away.
The shouts of killing in the distance were still fierce.
The brake stands on the slope.
Tang Xidong looked at the big camp in the distance, and the black pressed the crowd.
And then laughed out loud: hahaha......
You count me, and I count you.
In the end, he was counted by Tang.
This is the reason why Tang Xidong took Azig's corpse.
A corpse of Baylor is worthless to Tang Xidong, he can't get money in exchange for it, he can't be promoted to an official, and he can't occupy territory.
But this corpse can make 100,000 Ming troops and Houjin fight to the death, no matter who wins or loses.
The last winner is all him.
"Sons, let's go home!"
After this battle, even if the Ming army is incompetent, it is enough to exchange human lives for thousands of Houjin's lives.
The wreaking havoc of Houjin can be resolved.
With the cavalry, Tangxi made a detour to the south.
After Qingyuan converged with Zhang Liangzi, who had taken the infantry first, and then returned to Pingyang.
After nearly a month of dispatching troops, bypassing Fenzhou, Tang Xidong finally returned to Pingyang from Yilong Pass.
The army can finally breathe a sigh of relief and rest for a day.
In this expedition, 2,000 men and horses were lost.
But the results were extraordinary.
Beheaded Azig and annihilated the Golden Cavalry.
also let the Ming army fight a big battle with Dolgon.
When he left that day, Tang Xidong left a hundred cavalry in order to reconnoiter the battle between the Ming army and the Later Jin.
The battle lasted for a whole day.
The Ming army relied on a large number of people, and the Houjin relied on fast horses.
There is the body of Azig in the camp, and both sides want to get it.
In the end, the Ming army was defeated.
One day after the Great War, the 100,000 Ming army suffered 20,000 casualties and 4,000 Houjin casualties.
The situation was still favorable for the Ming army.
As long as he insists again, Dolgon can return without success, after all, no matter how important his brother's corpse is, the cavalry in his hand will also be a heavy loss.
But in the middle of the night.
Zhang Zongheng, who had time to enter the camp because of the hurry in which Tang Xidong lured the Houjin cavalry, led the army to leave quietly in the middle of the night after a day of the battle.
left Hong Chengchou's more than 50,000 Ming troops.
Houjin stole the camp in the middle of the night, and Hong Chengchou didn't know that Zhang Zongheng had left.
A big battle, defeated Houjin.
After dawn.
The sky is getting brighter, and the gold will come again.
Hong Chengchou discovered that Zhang Zongheng's trilateral elite stationed in the east actually left an empty camp and left.
Angry, angry,
At this time, Houjin attacked again.
The generals who learned of the withdrawal of friendly troops were demoralized.
After half a day of fighting, Houjin suffered another 3,000 casualties.
But the Ming army, which had no intention of fighting again, finally chose to flee for their lives and scattered.
Although I don't know which one fled first,
But as soon as the escape appeared, it was like a fire that burned out of control.
Although Hong Chengchou tried his best to stop it, it was a pity that the morale of the Ming army had long since dispersed.
had no choice but to coerce the army and flee with the cavalry.
Dorgon took advantage of the situation and entered the camp and took his brother's body.
Then the angry Dolgon naturally did not let the Ming army flee easily.
Immediately behind the fleeing Ming army, they continued to divide their troops to chase and kill.
Because the large camp is in the wilderness, the soldiers have no horses, and it is difficult to run the pursuit of the Houjin cavalry.
As a result, some resisted and counterattacked, and some surrendered on the spot.
The pursuit continued until the evening, and after the loss of a thousand horsemen, the battle finally came to an end.
In the end, in addition to the cavalry followed by Hong Chengchou, there were 20,000 Ming infantry, and the rest either surrendered or were killed.
But even if he surrendered on his knees, he was finally concentrated in the place where the camp was located, and one by one the captured Ming soldiers were brutally beheaded by the Houjin cavalry, and their heads were piled up into a Jingguan to sacrifice Azig's spirit in the sky.
When Hong Chengchou fled from the battlefield and ordered his troops again, his face was like ashes in an instant.
Of the 70,000 troops, there are now only 10,000 left, half of them cavalry and half foot soldiers.
The rest were either killed or scattered around the perimeter as they fled.
Although he had the intention to collect the remnants, he was afraid that Houjin would pursue him, so he had no choice but to lead this Wanming army and go directly to the west.
Then cross the Yellow River and return to Shaanxi.
10,000 Ming troops, staying in Shanxi will be swallowed sooner or later, or return to their hometown safely.
And Zhang Zongheng, who fled in the middle of the night, simply did not return to Fenzhou, but directly led his troops to the north, returning to his lair, the station of the trilateral governor, Yanghe.
After the Great War.
Corpses littered the field.
Although Dolgon snatched the body of his brother, he also lost 8,000 Golden Jurchen cavalry in a great battle.
Although he wanted to go south to Pingyang, he killed Tang Xidong to avenge his brother.
However, the soldiers who accompanied the army, Zilharang, Dege, and Yuetuo, were all opposed.
There are less than 8,000 Houjin cavalry left, and at this moment, they are deep in the Ming Dynasty, and if they are not careful, everyone will not be able to return to Liaodong.
At this time, the entry time has been delayed for a long time, and the Ming Dynasty must have already prepared, maybe a large number of Ming troops are coming towards them at this moment.
For various reasons, Dolgon finally dismissed his decision to stay in Taiyuan Mansion in reluctance and resentment.
On the second day, he led the rest of the cavalry all the way north, and he didn't care about plundering anymore, and was bent on getting out of the pass.
Because of the previous raid in Zhangjiakou, and Zhangjiakou was close to the Beijing Division, Dolgon was afraid that the Ming army had gathered there, so he prepared to leave the customs from Datong Town.
But by the time Dolgon went north to Datong Town, Zhang Zongheng had also arrived in Yanghe.
It was learned that Dorgon was heading north.
Zhang Zongheng, who was originally worried about his life, changed his temperament.
First, there are not many Jin cavalry after coming, second, this place is his territory, and third, Zhang Zongheng also hopes to leave a thousand Jurchen heads to protect his official position.
So Zhang Zongheng began to continuously mobilize the trilateral border army.
Set up a block, bent on dragging Dolgon and making dumplings.
So the 50,000 border troops on the three sides fought again with Dolgon outside Huairen County in Datong Town.
It's a pity that Zhang Zongheng is incompetent, how can his soldiers be brave?
A big battle left more than 1,000 Houjin cavalry, but the 50,000 Ming army staged a tortoise and rabbit race again.
More than 10,000 were beheaded, and the rest fled to Huairen City.
At this point, Zhang Zongheng finally restrained his psychology of wanting credit, and he did not dare to take the lead in Yanghe City.
I watched Dolgon with more than 6,000 Houjin cavalry outside Datong Town, breaking through the Great Wall and exiting the pass.
A war between the Houjin and the Ming Dynasty in the fifth year of Chongzhen came to an end.
