628, the odd soldiers have been out of the siege (4)

Wang Qinian looked triumphantly behind him, the cavalry of the brigade followed him closely, the vast prairie was at their feet, and the compass was in his hands.

Siteku was also proud, but he was different from Wang Qinian's pride, and he felt a little like he was home.

His brother Mo Ergeng's expression was mixed.

For these two Jurchens of the Nala clan, this expedition represents Yu Guozhen's absolute trust in them on the one hand - after ten years, the serf army, which originally belonged only to Yu Guozhen, has now been officially included in the dragoon series of the Huaxia Army. Wang Qinian became the head of the dragoon regiment, and the brothers Morgeng and Xiteku were the two camp leaders. The entire dragoons are mostly composed of herdsmen from various ethnic groups in Mongolia and Manchu, who are not inferior to Jianlu in riding skills, and are equipped with cavalry muskets, this cavalry regiment of 3,000 people, in fact, is definitely not inferior to 20,000 Jianlu.

"Is it coming soon?" Wang Qinian asked.

"The report group is coming, and there is Wulin Mountain ahead!"

"Okay, Xiteku, you remember, pretending to be an envoy from Liaodong to make an emergency, only saying that we have reached Shengjing."

After the fog and the mountain, it is the Gubeikou, that is, the Miyun guard. According to the tactics formulated by Yu Guozhen, Mao Yuanyi, and Song Xiance, after Wang Haoran captured Shanhaiguan, he immediately sent dragoons to gallop and make a detour to Gubeikou. This is also in the hands of Jianyu, and it is also another way for Jianyu to get out of the pass, as long as Miyun is controlled again, Jianyu wants the brigade to withdraw from the pass. The only way to go is through Zhangjiakou. Not only did it have to detour hundreds of thousands of miles more, but it also gave Yu Guozhen more time to pursue more calmly.

What's even more terrifying is that although Dolgon, in order to win them over and give them the status of imperial merchants, in the face of the endless pressure of Xinxiang, these Jin merchants are already planning to atone for their sins. Like the Fan family, it is even more costly. The purpose is to establish a relationship with Yu Guozhen.

They will sell the Wanquan Right Guard where Zhangjiakou Fort is located to Yu Guozhen at the first time, just as they sold Daming to Jianyu.

Guarding the Gubei Pass was a section of the Guards with the Blue Banner, and they had not yet learned of the loss of Shanhaiguan, so they only focused on the south, fearing that something would happen to Dolgon in the south. But it never occurred to him that the real mortal danger came from the north.

Sitku grinned. Hidden among the many companions. He and Morgen's were also well-known among the captives, so if something happened, he assigned his men to do it, so that no one would find out.

"You are really from Duoyan, King Raoyujun...... He's dead? ”

Seeing that all the clansmen wearing filial piety appeared in sight, Jianyu, who was guarding Gubeikou, was originally very surprised, and sent someone forward to inquire about the result. They were even more shocked.

The king of Raoyu was Abatai, who had been ordered by Dorgon to come to Duoyanwei to collect the Mongols. Then enter the customs from the ancient north entrance and join Dolgon. But after it came to Duoyan. He felt unwell, and at first he was still strong enough to support himself, but later he could only let his son Yue Le take charge of the army and go to the pass to respond. Dolgon was still very dissatisfied with this, and sent someone to Doyan to check on Abatai's condition, and only then did he give up when he learned that he was indeed too sick to ride a horse.

"Exactly, the king of Raoyu County died three days ago, and I was ordered to rush to the customs to report the funeral, and please switch and let me go."

This matter was extremely important, and it was Dorgon's brother who died, so the flag guarding the gate did not dare to stop it, and immediately opened and closed it and let it go.

The next thing was naturally simple, when Wang Qinian arrived, Gubeikou had completely fallen into their hands.

"Very good, Morgen, you stay, I will give you five hundred people, you guard Gubeikou, at most three or four days, our people will come up to respond." Wang Qinian saw that no one was injured in the capture of Gubeikou, and he was overjoyed: "I will go to Yanqingwei with Xiteku again, and this side will be handed over to you!" ”

They had to block several important passes before Jianyu reacted, such as Gubeikou, and in addition to the dragoons led by Wang Qinian, 5,000 cavalry infantry arrived. It's just that the horseback infantry's riding skills can't be compared with the real dragoons, so the speed is a little slower.

From Gubeikou to Yanqing Weiju Yongguan, there are still more than 100 miles, and it takes a day for fast horses to gallop. Wang Qinian took the talent out of Gubeikou, and saw more than ten horsemen galloping towards him, and saw them from a distance, and someone over there shouted: "Someone stopped, but the defenders of Gubeikou?" ”

Wang Qinian motioned for Sitku to negotiate with the other party, and Sitku drove forward, but only a few steps, then someone shouted in horror: "Sitku...... It's a thief, it's a thief! ”

At this time, the two sides were about 30 meters apart, and the other party turned around and left, Wang Qinian did not give an order, and his subordinates did not shoot, but drove their horses to chase after them. Chasing out half a mile, Wang Qinian saw that the other party's riding skills were exquisite, although the horsepower was exhausted, but his war horse also came after a long journey, and then galloped like this, I am afraid that the loss of the war horse will be great, so he had to order to shoot.

The distance between the two sides was not far from the original, but the shooting accuracy of the galloping musket on the horse was not accurate, but it could not stand the large number of people, and after a random gun, the more than ten horsemen all fell off their horses, three of them were killed by horses, but people were only injured, and they were quickly escorted to Wang Qinian and Xiteku.

"You know me?" Sitku looked at the captives and spoke triumphantly.

"Man, how don't I know you!" One of them snorted and said sharply, "You Nala clan just don't have a good thing, you should have slaughtered it a long time ago!" ”

The propaganda work in Huaxia is still in place, and the word traitor has been spread all over the world, and women and children know it, that is, Jianyu, and they are no strangers to this word. Xiteku sneered: "We are the Nala clan, we are of the Chinese race, and we are not the same thing as the Jueluo clan, which claims to be a Manchu. Full of rape? I'm not a Manchu, where did I rape, could it be that I raped your old slave slave Hachi's wife who loves Xinjue Luo? That thing was done by Li Chengliang, and it has nothing to do with me! ”

The man said sharply: "If you want to kill, kill it, and talk less nonsense!" ”

"A knife cut." Wang Qinian was impatient: "Separate." There are always those who can't bear to tell the truth. ”

This is the way the Huaxia army captured the prisoner and asked for a confession, and the three live mouths were taken away for questioning, and after a while, the screams and reprimands came. The Huaxia Army treated prisoners preferentially, and all captives who surrendered were treated according to the standard of "benevolence and righteousness", including execution, and they would also be given a painful pleasure, but only if the prisoner did not resist, including cooperating with the inquiry. If the other person is abusive or silent during the questioning. This means that the other side is still in resistance, and the two sides are still in a state of war. Then in a state of war, how to deal with the opponent is a matter of course.

After a while, a prisoner covered in wounds was dragged in front of them, and the judge of the Huaxia Army in charge of the torture grinned: "This guy is going to be recruited." ”

"Why are you here?" Sitku asked.

"Bong...... On the orders of the uncle Emperor Rui, the defenders of Gubeikou were ordered to defend cautiously. The man replied weakly, "Southern thief...... Ahh No, it was the Huaxia army that occupied Shanhaiguan. King Rui wants to return to the division from Gubeikou! ”

Wang Qinian and Xiteku glanced at each other. There was both pride and happiness in the eyes of the two. After they landed at Qinhuangdao, they only rested for a day, and after the horses recovered from the discomfort of the sea, they hurried over. In the state of one man and three horses, they all ran and killed more than a thousand horses.

Even so, they were only half a day ahead of the messengers sent by Dorgon.

"How many emissaries are there like you?"

"Except for Gubeikou. There are also those who go to Badaling Juyongguan and those who go to Wanquanwei Zhangjiakou Fort, a total of three batches. ”

"Jianyu is quick to respond." Wang Qinian muttered to himself.

Count by time. Since these messengers have arrived at Gubeikou, the messengers to Juyongguan should also be close to their goal. So. If Wang Qinian wants to win Juyong Pass, it will be a little difficult. He pondered for a while, riding a horse to kill is his specialty, but this kind of scheming thing, he is a little clumsy. Therefore, he turned back and said, "Tell me, what can be done?" ”

Knowing that he lacked some wisdom and strategy, Yu Guozhen paid special attention to making up for it when he arranged manpower. His instructor, Lu Ze, is a cunning and wise person who is a little indecisive. Hearing Wang Qinian's question, Lu Ze touched his chin for a while, and suddenly laughed: "You say, for such a big matter, will Dolgon only send a group of envoys for the sake of prudence?" ”

Xiteku shook his head: "At least two batches will be sent, and if something happens to one batch, it can be made up." ”

"In that case, why don't we pretend to be the second group of emissaries?" Lu Ze said: "We can pretend to be a prisoner, anyway, we also seized a batch of their clothes and flags in Gubeikou, and then picked a few bold and careful ones, pretending to be the second group of messengers, only saying that Dolgon's vanguard has arrived, let the door be closed and open to answer." As long as we get close to the city wall, the rest will be easy to do, and we won't be unable to take it, right? ”

Wang Qinian grinned when he heard this: "Okay, let's do it!" ”

As soon as he made up his mind, he could not listen to anything else, and immediately urged people to go back to the city and close the banners and clothes.

However, there are only a few hundred sets of clothes and flags obtained from Gubeikou, and the number is somewhat small. Wang Qinian was the first to take the lead, not to mention such a fun thing, so he let the overseer of Xiteku behind, and he wore the clothes of the prisoners indiscriminately, and after thinking about the lack of a fake braid, he grabbed a prisoner, cut off his braids, and hung them on the back of his hat.

"This pig's tail is really awkward." As soon as he moved, the fake braid fell off, and Wang Qinian couldn't help complaining.

"Tie it with a rope, you all get a fake braid, cut it quickly, cut it quickly, let's hurry up!" Sitku smiled and pointed his fingers.

Fortunately, the hair of the Huaxia army was generally short, and many people temporarily turned into barbers and shaved off the hair in front of them with bayonets. It must be known that Jianyu's real braid is not a big thick braid with a shiny oil like the one filmed in the brainless Qing Palace drama in later generations. At this time, the front half of the head should be shaved, leaving only a small lock at the back of the head, and the braid should be able to pass through the square hole of the copper coin - the so-called money rat tail is the meaning. Therefore, after a while, Wang Qinian and the others each had a rat's tail hanging on the back of their heads, scattered in the autumn wind. (To be continued)
