449 The elegy of the three heroes of Haixi
The last general has seen the adults
Nurhachi gave a military salute and said loudly
Hurry up, Rao is Lian Zining's mind, and he also showed a hint of eagerness at this time, and it is really too big to be able to contact Zakhrev
He helped Nurhachi up and asked urgently: But I found Zakhrev and the others
Nurhachi said with a smile on his face: My lord is fortunate not to be dishonored
He sorted out his thoughts and said: My lord, the last general, was ordered to lead people to the north to find those Russians, and after crossing the Songhua River, in order to prevent the Jurchens from discovering it, he escaped into the dense forest and traveled all the way north according to the road map you gave you
Lian Zining waved his hand: Let's talk slowly
He turned back to a little maid who was waiting, and said, "Go and ask the lady to go to the study and get the map of the slave Gandusi."
The little maid answered, carrying her skirt and quickly gone, and after a while, two or three maids came over carrying a large wooden box, Lian Zining opened the box, and took out a huge map from it, the map was one zhang wide and five or six feet high
This is the Ming Dynasty Xuande period of the Ministry of War sent people to draw the Ming Dynasty Nuer Gandu Division of the whole map, at that time, in order to draw this map, thousands of craftsmen have five years of work, traveled all over the entire Nuer Gandu Division, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, Lian Zining in the hand of this one, of course, is not original, but with Dai Zhangpu this layer of relationship, it is easy to extend a map treasured by the Ministry of War
Opening the map, Lian Zining glanced at it deeply, although he had seen it many times, but every time he looked at it, he still couldn't help but tremble in his heart
When drawing this map, the three surnamed Jurchen were still loyal courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, and the cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei was still following the Ming Dynasty's expedition to Tatar Wara, and the Nuer Gandu Division at that time included all the land now occupied by the three surnamed Jurchen and Duoyan Sanwei, which was far larger than the current Nuergan Governorate, three or five times larger, and now Xishenwei is already the frontier of the extreme north, and this was the hinterland at the beginning
Let's compare this picture to Lian Zining and greet Nurhachi
Nurhachi was also shocked by this map, he was stunned for a moment, then walked closer, moved his finger on the map, and said: "My lord, you see, we basically followed the dense forest on the right bank of the Guru River all the way north to Gelinwei, which is a very large city of Haixi Jurchen, and then went all the way north from Gelinwei to the north of the Hagu River, and finally came to the contact place of those Russians on the north bank of the Hagu River, which is an extremely secret valley in the dense forest on the north bank of the Hagu River
Lian Zining nodded, and from this point, it can be seen that the Russians have infiltrated the Jurchens quite deeply, and this base may have been established under the cover of Jurchen officials
Nurhachi continued: "It's a coincidence, after we went there, we met Zakhrev, and after asking, I learned that he had already received the news of the southern expedition of the Haixi Jurchen army, and knew that we would definitely contact him, so he waited there
Lian Zining smiled faintly: This guy is a little scheming about what they say
Nurha: He asked the last general how the strength of our Wu Yi army is now, according to your previous instructions, the last general answered truthfully, after he got the news, he was overjoyed, looked at the last general, and said: They have gathered 100,000 troops, and they are only a hundred miles away from the Beishan Jurchen defense line, and they can go south at any time, ready to discuss with your lord for a day, and the north and south will attack
After discussing the time, Lian Zining pondered for a moment, pondered carefully, and said in his heart: It is necessary to drag down the coalition forces of Haixi Jurchen and Fuyuwei to death before they can go north to avoid worries, but they can't be too hasty
He pondered for a while and said: The time is set for the eighth day of the eighth month of August, and you go and talk back to Zakhrev and say that he must know this date
Nurha's bare waist straightened and hugged his fists and said: What else do you have to say?
Lian Zining waved his hand and said with a smile: Don't worry, let me ask you, do you have any thoughts in your heart when you see that all the armies are guarding the Zhenyuan Mansion and can fish for the last battle, but you are sent to the poor mountains and bad waters...,
Nurhachi's face changed, and he hurriedly said in his heart: The affairs sent by the lord are extremely important, and the general will never dare to complain
Don't think about it, Lian Zining smiled: This matter is indeed a little unfair to you, but it also happens that the time for you to come back is the best, and there is a big thing for you to do right now, and after doing this big thing, you will rest for a day and go north tomorrow
Nurhachi was stunned: What do you mean, my lord?
Lian Zining whispered a few words to him, and Nurhachi was suddenly overjoyed and said loudly: The last general will definitely live up to the expectations of adults
Lian Zining smiled: Let's go down and prepare
Nurhachi left the general's mansion and returned to the station of the sixth guard with people, for these wild Jurchen Lian Zining neither discriminated nor took special care of the Han army, how they were treated the same, but let these wild Jurchens feel that the fairness of Wu Yijun is not a lie, in fact, in this era, the officials who can treat the Han and Jurchen fairly, are already rare
Therefore, it is also the heart
With the big school field as the center, many huge buildings have been built around the big school field, here is the barracks of the Wu Yi Army, each guard has its own independent barracks, there are bathhouses, canteens, medical halls, everything, and the equipment is very complete
The barracks of the 6th Guard is located between the north side of the main school field and the city wall, and next to it is the barracks of the 1st Guard
After returning to the barracks, Nurhachi didn't even have time to take a sip of hot water, but he gathered all the officers together to discuss, and for half an hour, everyone dispersed one after another, and each led his troops to assemble
After a cup of tea, the 6th Guard, 4,500 wild Jurchen cavalry, quietly left the city from the south gate
The darkness of the night concealed everything and their hiding, and soon the large army disappeared into the darkness to the northwest
ββββββββ dividing lineββββββ
A terrible wolf howl pierced the night sky, Yishan woke up, grabbed the saber in his hand, and suddenly stood up, and several Jurchen soldiers who were napping next to him also sat up and looked around
The fog seemed to have faded a bit, and through the fence, you could see the stumps of freshly cut down trees and white stubble a dozen paces away
What's wrong with the hundred-hundred-hundred-hundred-
A Jurchen soldier asked in a low voice
Yishan waved his hand: It's okay, the wolf howl is my fuss, brothers go to sleep
Yishan is now a hundred households, two hours ago, he was only a ten-master, his unit was subordinate to Gangyi, directly under the Haixi Jurchens, and this can be seen from these Jurchen soldiers around him - they are all strong men in their twenties and thirties, and when they are at the peak of their physical strength, they are not like other troops, and there are women, old people and children
It is precisely because they are the most elite troops directly under Fortitude that they also suffered the heaviest losses in the siege battle mentioned a few hours ago
The casualty statistics are shocking: Of the 35,000 men of the resolute units directly under their direct control, more than 11,000 were killed or seriously wounded in battle, and more than 6,000 were completely ineffective in battle, and countless were slightly wounded
The hundred households where Yishan is located are no exception, a hundred households that were full of establishment before the war can still move around on their own after withdrawing, there are only twenty-seven people left, and the hundred households died in battle, and the oldest ten-master with the most qualifications in Yishan naturally became a hundred households, but there are only about 20 people under his hands, and this hundred households is too unworthy of the name
After a great battle, exhausted and dying, after this little episode, the soldiers fell asleep one after another, but Yishan was not sleepy, he leaned against an earthen wall, pulled out a stalk of grass from the ground, and held his thoughts in his mouth, but flew back to his hometown
He belonged to the Eji tribe, a very small tribe among the Haixi Jurchens, with only about a thousand people on the banks of the Youman River
Yishan has a wife who is not beautiful but very protive, has given birth to two sons and three daughters for him, his wife is also very capable, go down to the river to fish, go into the mountains to hunt, and even learn from the Han people to serve the crops are very handy, since the age of fifteen, Yishan has been conscripted into the army, and has been fighting outside for a year with the resolute general, and there is not much time at home, and the elderly parents and a group of children are all dependent on their wives to manage...,
The Jurchens don't care whether a woman is beautiful or not, and the mother-in-law of Yishan is the best candidate for a capable person recognized by everyone in the tribe as a mother-in-law
This mother-in-law, who said that she was very capable, but if she compares it with the Han girls, it is really unexciting, thinking of the mother-in-law, Yishan, I can't help but think of the Han women I did last year
How many have come, fifteen or eighteen days, I can't remember it for too long, Yishan, chirp, chirp, it seems that she is still reminiscing about the wonderful taste at the beginning: these Han girls are really white and tender, and they are not patient to, and they cry and shout as soon as they do it, who is the most miserable, who is right, the concubine in Weizhi County, the back door that Lao Tzu opened for her, the little girl who hurts at the back door that Lao Tzu opened for her, and there is so much blood in her mother
The boss is fourteen years old this year, and she should tell her about the family, but what to do with this dowry, I have not been at home these years, and the house is enough to eat, where to save something, last year, the things that were robbed in the Han territory were confiscated by the top, and even a piece of cloth was not left, and it was still calculated, if this time it can enter the city of the Han people, grab it, it is enough, and it will be exhausted in this life, but looking at this, the first battle is like this, can I go back alive, or two said, where to grab things, this time out is in vain, Yishan thought with a sad face
The birch trees rattled, and a cold wind blew, which made Yishan shiver and interrupt his thoughts
The village they stationed in is called Xiaoye'er Village, the terrain is the best of the four villages occupied by the Jurchens, backed by a small river, on both sides are large cornfields, water and logging are very convenient, originally only 12300 households, this kind of village is already considered large, but where can live more than 20,000 soldiers, it should be a plug, squeezed can also make a living, anyway, everyone is a man, and there are not so many scruples, but the problem is that after this battle, there are countless wounded soldiers in the team, these wounded soldiers need space, so the house is even more insufficient, and the night is already late, so the boss ordered to give the house to the wounded soldiers to live, and the body is intact to sleep in the field
Yishan, they are one of these unlucky ghosts, they were sent here, saying that they were guarding against the sneak attack of the Han people
Yishan scoffed at this, although it seems that the Han people are stronger than before, but they are only relying on the construction of the city to hold on, they dare to come out at night to sneak attack, borrow his courage
Summer evenings in the Northeast are still very cold, especially for those who are only wearing single clothes, let alone blankets, and even thick clothes
This battle was fought so badly, the soldiers originally held back an evil fire in their hearts, but in the cold wind, only shivering, this fire was gone
Yishan sighed again, wrapped his old sheepskin jacket and prepared to sleep, secretly glad in his heart, if it weren't for his mother-in-law's cleverness, he would have to be frozen
In the distance, a soldier said loudly: Lord Wanhu
And then there was a soft hum
Yishan hurriedly got up, and woke up a few subordinates who had just fallen asleep, and everyone was secretly cursing in their hearts, I don't know which ten thousand households came, these dignitaries and nobles didn't sleep at night, and came out to patrol the camp to do something
More than a dozen of them were covered in black iron armor, and they looked like an iron tower, and they appeared in front of everyone, one of them held high with a high tooth, which was a symbol of the resolute Chinese army, and the two young people who were surrounded by the iron float were two young people, one was long, handsome, but with some shadows, and the other was full of beard and extremely tall and strong
It turned out to be Zilharang and Erle and Ze, two adults, who came together
Zilharang resolutely let the large army abandon the war machinery and retreat, saving the lives of more soldiers, everyone is extremely grateful, plus the resolute general is now unconscious, the affairs of the army are the three heroes of Haixi are in charge, and the three of them are now the supreme commander of the Jurchens
Everyone was taken aback and then saluted: Lord Wanhu
Zilharang smiled and hummed, and as he went, he patted a soldier on the shoulder from time to time as a sign of encouragement, and stopped to say a few words of greeting when he saw a minor injury...,
Yishan looked at Jilharang's smiling face, and the apprehension in his heart gradually settled down
That's what a commander-in-chief does
After the fall of Fortitude, Zilharang played his role well and took on his share of responsibility
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the humidity in the air was getting thicker
Zilharang had a smile on his face, but he was worried in his heart, seeing that the weather was about to rain heavily, so he didn't know how many soldiers would be sick because of the rain, but he couldn't help it, so he had to look forward to the heavy rain tonight, and when it was dawn, he immediately organized the soldiers to build houses
This is already the northwest corner of the camp, and after patrolling here, Zilharang got on his horse and planned to leave
At this time, suddenly a lightning bolt tore through the night sky, like a dazzling dragon of light, and this moment illuminated the sky and the earth
The lightning flashed, and the light faded in an instant, and then the rumbling thunder rang out
What kind of person is Zilharang, but his face immediately changed greatly, and at that moment just now, he clearly saw the countless shadows in the mountains and forests in the distance by the light of lightning
This damn lightning came at a bad time, and when Nurhachi saw that his whereabouts had been discovered, he no longer concealed it, and then cursed loudly, and shouted: Brothers, kill
Kill 4,500 wild female real men shouted in unison, and the sound shook all directions
Zilharang's face was extremely gloomy, which was clearly the Jurchen words
The echo of the killing word was still lingering, and it was broken by countless crisp gunshots, and the wild maiden soldiers who had dispersed the sixth guard raised the flintlock pistol in their hands and pulled the trigger
Countless bullets whizzed out of the dense forest, and through the fence, they immediately knocked down the Jurchen soldiers
Yishan reacted quickly, that crisp snapping sound, he had heard too much, how many robes were taken away by this weapon, when the gunshot just rang out, he threw himself forward and lay on the ground, with the sound of the gun, the screams were endless, Yishan looked sideways, and the twenty or so people under him lay down in an instant because they were caught off guard
Some died directly, and some did not, lying on the ground, moaning loudly and screaming
While everyone was shooting, Nurhachi opened his bow and arrow, and with the flickering light of the muzzle, he aimed at the side with high teeth and loosened the bowstring
A heavy arrow the size of a spear shot out fiercely, accurately hitting the middle of the high tooth and nailing it in, and Nurhachi hit another arrow again, only to hear a click, and the high tooth finally broke in two and fell into the cloud mud
Nurhachi laughed and shouted, "Kill me."
The sound of bursting horses' hooves sounded, and countless wild Jurchen cavalry raised the weapons in their hands and rushed towards Xiaoye'er Village, but the distance of more than 100 meters was just a hundred meters away for them
Before the round of shooting, Zilharang reacted quickly, blocking the bullet with his warhorse, his warhorse was shot into a sieve, but he and Erle and Ze saved their lives
He didn't know how many enemies there were in the dark, but he knew that he couldn't be in danger now, and he ran towards the village
They didn't expect that the Wu Yi Army, which was inferior in strength, would dare to send troops to attack at night so rampantly, and they didn't expect that they would take advantage of the night to touch such a close place without being discovered, otherwise, Zilharang would not have only brought so few people to patrol the camp, and now they are in a dead place
The wind was stronger, and another lightning bolt tore through the sky, and there was already a thin stream of rain falling down
With the help of the lightning, Nurhachi clearly saw the two of Zilharang and Erle and Ze, and he could see from the high teeth just now that these two people were definitely important people, and he shouted at the moment: Don't let those two people go
Hearing his shout, many wild Jurchen warriors opened their bows and arrows and shot at the two people who wanted to escape, countless large arrows that were almost twice as long as ordinary feather arrows swarmed and shot at all, and there was no way to dodge, and Erle and Ze, who ran behind, were shot into a chicken feather blanket on the spot, and hundreds of big arrows pierced into his body, and blood gushed out...,
There was a feather arrow that shot into the back of his neck, directly shattering his throat, the first of the three heroes of Haixi, the first fierce general, did not say a word, but threw himself on the ground and lost his breath
Zilharang's thigh was also shot by a large arrow, but it actually passed directly through his flesh, pushing him to the ground, and Zilharang fell to the ground, and the severe pain in his thigh and the instantaneous massive blood loss made him unable to move anymore
He lay on the ground, and a sadness flashed in his eyes, and he felt extremely ridiculous and funnyβcould it be that I, Zilharang, am going to die here today?
The seemingly solid wooden fence became extremely fragile in front of the mace of the wild Jurchen warriors, who were full of human calf thickness and five feet long, and were covered with dense triangular cone-shaped steel thorns with a sharp tip and no gravity of more than fifty catties, and the gap was quickly expanded after a few blows, like rotten tofu, and the wild Jurchen soldiers frantically poured in
The dozen or so Iron Floating Slaughter were brave and brave enough to meet them, but they were instantly overwhelmed by the wild Jurchen warriors used by the tide
They were almost trampled to death by countless war horses
Yishan lay on the ground and didn't dare to move, his body was splashed with blood and flesh in his robe, and two dead corpses were pressed on his body, but they were similar to corpses
Kill all of them Nurhachi, and say coldly
Those Jurchen soldiers were naturally unwilling to tie their hands to death, and they shot arrows to fight back, although they also shot and injured a few people, but they were soon overwhelmed by the dense feather arrows, and the two hundred households stationed here, which combined with less than sixty people, were soon wiped out
Hiding under the pile of corpses, Yishan escaped the catastrophe
At this time, the awakened village was already filled with panicked voices and dense footsteps
Nurhachi shouted: Shulhachi took your people to the south, Abatai took your people to the east, Manggultai took your people to the west, and the rest of the people followed me, remember that everyone put on torches, kill people when they see them, burn them when they see houses, and after rushing out of the village, the south entrance of the village will be able to hear clearly
It was my lord, and the three generals under Nurhachi answered in unison, and each led someone to kill them
They lit torches and looked like huge dragons, and soon the village was filled with shouts of killing
Nurhachida Ma Daozir Harang looked him up and down for a moment: Who are you (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to come (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation)
