Chapter 361: Concubine Chen is sick
After saying this, the dragon tent that was still laughing loudly suddenly became silent.
The news came too suddenly, and many people were still in a trance for a while, and then they all felt that they were joking, thinking about it, Azig Nan's northern war for so many years, against the Mongols and the Ming army was invincible, otherwise he would not be one of the most honorable princes of Heshuo, second only to the four major Baylors.
This time, with 5,000 Red Banner Iron Cavalry to pursue the 3,000 Ming Army Horse Team, the Eight Banners Zhudu Tong and Baylor present could think of the worst result in their minds, which was nothing more than not completely annihilating the horse team.
At this time, a burly man with a red flag came out and said with a sneer:
"Could it be that you are a sharp one sent by the Southern Dog, Prince Ying is brave and good at fighting, quite the majesty of His Majesty's youth, he will be killed by the Ming army, I Turg is the first to disbelieve!"
After Turg finished speaking, many of the two red flag generals around him shouted and scolded one after another, Azig had a very high status in the Qing army, although he was repeatedly punished by Huang Taiji for various reasons, but he held the power of the two red flags, and his prestige was on par with Dolgon.
Listening to this Tanma's words, Huang Taiji didn't react, glanced at the chaotic tent lightly, and said:
"Carefully find out and report again..."Seeing that the probe horse was still about to speak, Huang Taiji glanced at him and warned lightly:
"Go ahead."
Hearing this, the tanma trembled, and he didn't dare to raise his head and retreated.
But not long after the horse had withdrawn, there was another sound of horses' hooves coming from far and near, and at last he stopped outside the tent, and it turned out to be a light horseman trotting in in a hurry.
This light cavalry is a leader, and the status is above the leader, that is, the Manchu Jialai Ezhen, the total number of generals of this status in a banner is not much, if it is only about the rank, at least equivalent to the battalion officer in the Shandong army.
The generals of this level actually came to deliver the letter in person, including Dolgon and Zilharang, and the entire dragon tent of the generals and Baylors stared nervously.
As if to confirm some people's suspicions, the leader wearing the full armor of the blue flag looked panicked, and actually climbed into the dragon tent with his hands and feet, and immediately handed the letter to Dolgon.
At this time, the armor on the head of the blue flag leader was a little crooked, and he didn't care about straightening it, and he knelt directly on the ground in embarrassment, and said in a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Concubine Guan Ju Gong Chen's mother is sick, and she said that she wanted to see His Majesty for the last time before leaving......"
The sensation caused by this news was even greater than the news that Tanma had said that Azig had died in battle, and the people in the entire Dragon Tent were in an uproar, and they naturally knew the status of this "Concubine Chen" in Huang Taiji's heart.
Concubine Chen, Min Huigong and Concubine Yuan, Borzigit, that is, Hailanzhu as later generations, was originally the daughter of the Mongolian Korqin Belle Zhaisang, and had been in the Qing Palace for eight years at this time.
The person who came to report the news was the leader of the Zhenglan Banner, and Dai Shan, who stayed in Shengjing, was afraid that Huang Taiji would not believe it, so he specially sent a general of this level to be a messenger.
Sure enough, Huang Taiji stood up directly from his seat with a "pout", probably because he had been sitting down for too long, and this cold standing up made his eyes dark, and the black blood couldn't stop dripping down from his nostrils.
The nine dragon totems on Huang Taiji's clothes and armor were all dyed red and black, and the soldiers on the side were already holding towels in their hands, and they were about to hand them over to wipe them, but such caring actions were pushed away by Huang Taiji's arrogant hand.
He trembled down a few steps, came to the middle of the tent, raised his hand and shouted:
"Prepare the horse, prepare the horse quickly, I want to return to Shengjing."
In fact, speaking of which, the problem of nosebleeds was present as early as a few years before he led his troops to the battle, but it was not so serious at that time, and it was often too big or emotional to flow.
Hearing that Hong Chengchou gathered an army of 130,000 troops from eight towns to go out of the customs, Huang Taiji was excited and committed this old mistake again, but at this time, he couldn't take care of so much, and he even reached the point of fidgeting in Shengjing, knowing that this battle was related to the fortunes of the country.
Hai Lanzhu is virtuous, and she also constantly persuades Huang Taiji to put state affairs first.
Six days of rapid travel of more than 600 miles, along the way Huang Taiji received three bowls of nosebleeds, from red to black, and finally rushed to the front line of Songshan, but the fatigue of this journey made his already exhausted corpse extremely overdrawn.
Some time ago, the overall situation of Japan's arrival had been decided, but the Ming army that came out of nowhere rescued Cao Bianjiao, not to mention, almost killed Huang Taiji outside Songshan City, and such things have now spread among the Qing troops in various departments.
Followed by the annihilation of Wu Zhenchao's artillery battalion, the death and wounding of King Sanshun, the ensuing military intelligence poured in like a stream, hitting Huang Taiji again and again, coupled with the continuous handling of military affairs day and night, this body is about to be unable to hold on.
Although the military situation here is urgent, Huang Taiji still didn't take the three thousand Ming cavalry to heart, anyway, isn't there Azig to deal with it, and the overall situation will not change much, so after he heard the news that Hai Lanzhu was ill, he immediately planned to rush back to Shengjing overnight to take care of Concubine Ai.
That night, Huang Taiji arranged the strategic arrangement after leaving, and the siege of Songshan City was mainly entrusted to the Prince of Rui Dolgon, who was responsible for the blockade along the Songjin line.
However, there were too many generals of the Eight Banners and the Mongolian Korling Division, and Huang Taiji could not cover everything at all in one night, so he could only set the general direction and hurriedly set off to return to Shengjing in the early morning of the next day.
This way, Huang Taiji can be said to be anxious, and he can't wait to put on his wings and fly directly to the Guan Ju Palace in Shengjing to visit Hai Lanzhu, and take care of him day and night.
After Huang Taiji left, Zilharang handed over the siege of Songshan to Dolgon, and he began to plan the siege and surrender of Jinzhou.
Dolgon immediately set about a full-scale siege of Songshan City, and for those more important places, he had detailed plans, such as the two white flags to garrison Wangbaoshan and Zhuangzhentai, and the two red flags to blockade Zhai'er Mountain and Changling Mountain.
In the end, the vicinity of Liu Xitun was relatively relaxed, and the Kol Ling Department was relatively strong among the Mongolian departments, so they were handed over to be responsible.
Of course, Dolgon promised that he would benefit the Mongol chiefs afterwards, and that made them willingly do it.
The Qing army dug trenches on the spot and tightly surrounded the Songshan area, once again "cutting off the Songshan road", and at this time, the statistical results of the last pursuit of the Ming army's rout were liquidated.
This result really made Dolgon, Dodor and the others very happy.
The Ming army was scattered and lost more than 50,000 troops outside the pass, and although the Qing army was surrounded and intercepted all the way, only less than 20,000 people died under the Qing saber, not even half of the total.
However, the Qing army captured nearly 10,000 mules and horses, and countless armor and baggage, which was a bumper harvest.
In addition, there must be a group of generals led by Wang Xixian, the guard general of Xingshan, to surrender to Cheng, with a total of more than 10,000 military horses.
Dolgon tried his best to win over these people, Wang Xixian and others deeply felt that the "Great Qing" sky was mighty, and they also knew everything, and soon, all the arrangements of Hong Chengchou outside the pass had been exposed to the vision of the Qing army.
There were originally a series of towns and fortresses outside the pass, such a large strategic buffer zone was enough for the Qing army to stay on the line of Songshan and Jinzhou, and Dolgon had always regarded that area as a thorn in his side.
However, these surrendered Ming troops had already finished saying what should be said and what should not be said, and Dolgon, who learned that the Ming army was empty, laughed, and immediately ordered Duoduo to lead more than 10,000 Qing troops south.
This part of the Qing army attacked the city in the Shanhaiguan area along the way, grabbed supplies and continued to advance the battle line to the pass.
