readx; To the north of Qian'an City is the majestic and dangerous Yanshan Mountain Range. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Great Wall winds through the mountains, and passes are set up at the mountain passes according to the terrain, and there are dozens of large and small passes in this section of Jizhen alone, which can be said to be dotted all over the place.

But among these many passes, Baiyangyu is a very special one. Its peculiarity lies in two points: first, this small section of the Great Wall is actually made of marble, which is not only magnificent from a distance, but also beautiful even if you stand at the head of the city, one by one, brick by brick. And from the point of view of military defense alone, marble is a natural stone, of course, much harder than the bricks fired from earth, so it is also a very strong pass.

Second, Baiyangyu is a water gate. The Baiyang River crosses the Great Wall from north to south, and the gate of Baiyangyu spans the Baiyang River, and the two ends are connected to the city wall. If in the middle of summer, the water of the Baiyang River lazily penetrates into the canyon, the blue waves in the valley are rippling, and the pines and cypresses are verdant, which often makes people think that they have arrived in the south of the Yangtze River in a trance.

But now, all this beauty is gone. More than half a month ago, Li Dingguo set fire to the Eight Banners Camp at Xifengkou, although subjectively it was to strike at the enemy, but objectively, it triggered a major ecological disaster. The dry autumn weather in the Yanshan area spread with the help of mountain winds, and soon all the mountains within a radius of hundreds of miles were charred black, and the vegetation was severely damaged.

Then another heavy snowfall buried the charred mountains below. Now when you look around, you can see the silver world, and this section of the Great Marble Wall seems to have disappeared in the snow-capped mountains.

At this moment, Amin, the banner master with the white flag, was leaning against the city wall of the Baiyangyu Pass, staring blankly at his remnants of the defeated general.

In the battle of Qian'an, most of his army of 15,000 with white flags was lost, but thanks to the desperate cover of Niyaha and other generals, Amin was able to leave the battlefield with more than 3,000 cavalry. Qian'an is forty miles away from Baiyangyu, all mountain roads, and covered by heavy snow, which is not conducive to the march of cavalry. In the process of fleeing in panic, at least a few hundred Qing troops were left behind, and then they never followed.

Today, there were less than 3,000 men left under Amin's men, and they were tired, hungry, and many wounded. Since following his father Shulhaqi to assist Nurhachi, Amin has been on the battlefield for more than 20 years, and has experienced hundreds of battles, and he has never been defeated so badly!

Fortunately, he was still prescient, and arranged a Niu Lu's troops in Baiyangyu, which was guarded by another white flag general, Shi Tu. On the way to flee in panic, the Qing army discarded all the grain and grass, but fortunately, there was still some grain in Baiyangyu, and the Ming army did not chase after it for the time being, so Amin ordered his subordinates to eat a good meal and rest for a while, and then "show the enemy's situation".

In fact, Amin is completely deceiving himself when he says this, he only has one way to escape from the customs with his tail between his legs, what else is there to "determine"? Amin looked at the mountains from afar, and couldn't help but feel sad and remorseful!

If Nurhachi had died in Jinzhou two years ago, he would have simply fought against Huang Taiji and not left in North Korea, he would not have followed Huang Taiji into the customs;

If it weren't for his ambition and the intention of competing for power with Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji would not just let his white flag act alone, and ignore him when he retreated;

If he hadn't been too greedy, he had occupied the three cities of Qian'an, Luanzhou, and Yongping, and had robbed countless silver taels, grain, and Han people, and he would not have given up, and he would have to attack that small Funing, and even wanted to raid Tianjin Wei, and the white flag would not have been delayed by the heavy snow;

Even if he could wake up in time, instead of underestimating the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, when the Ming army had been surrounded on three sides, he could decisively lead the army to retreat, and there would be no fiasco under the city of Qian'an...

But it's too late to say anything now, there is no regret medicine to buy in this world, his white flag has been crippled, and his position in the Manchu aristocratic system of the weak and the strong will inevitably plummet! …

Amin didn't dare to think about the rest anymore, and he wasn't qualified to think about it, because the white flag was not completely safe now. It is still possible for the Ming army to catch up; Heavy snow covers the grasslands, and it is difficult to say whether they can return to Liaodong alive. At this time, a cold wind blew through the doorway of Baiyangyu Pass, making a creepy whining sound, Amin was so shocked that he shivered, and suddenly jumped up from the ground and said: "Listen, is the Ming army catching up?" ”

Everyone was also frightened, and listened attentively for a long time, but there was no other movement except for the call of the north wind. Kazhu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master, the Han people didn't follow so quickly, according to the opinion of the slaves..."

Before the words fell, Amin kicked Kazhu to the ground with a heartwarming kick and roared hysterically: "You dog minion! If it weren't for 'according to you', this king led the army to retreat last night, how could he have been defeated so badly? Why don't you learn from Nyaha and fight to the end to protect this king? ”

The generals hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, and Kazhu, who had previously claimed to be Amin's brainchild, also got up in embarrassment and retreated in disgrace. In fact, Amin really didn't wronged him, going to Yongping to get grain and grass for the people was a typical bad idea, even if he didn't encounter the army of Man Gui and He Kegang, it would seriously affect the speed of the march. This made people's hearts insufficient, and the Qing army paid a heavy price for its greed.

However, Amin's account has not yet been paid. At a moment, the north wind of the call sign suddenly weakened, and everyone immediately heard a small but continuous sound coming from the valley to the south, and it became more and more noisy.

"It's not good, the Ming army is catching up!" After all, Amin is the hero of the world, although he suffered such a heavy setback, he still kept calm and said, "The whole army will go out of the pass immediately, leave a hundred people here to block the Ming army, and wait for the army to withdraw twenty miles away." Which Manchurian warriors dared to stay? ”

The general Shitu immediately stepped forward and said: "Master, the slave's life is given by the master, and the slave is willing to fight to the death here to cover the master's return to the master!" ”

"Good!" Amin was very satisfied with this loyal dog, hurriedly said a few words of encouragement, and then glanced at Kazhu coldly and said, "You also stay!" ”

However, just as the remnants of the white flag were laboriously leading their horses and carefully crossing the Great Wall from the frozen Baiyang River, a Qing soldier suddenly pointed to the north and shouted: "Master, look! ”

When Amin looked up hurriedly, he saw that a row of small black dots suddenly appeared on the horizon, which was almost integrated with the sky, and it was getting bigger and bigger, more and more, and the strong wind blowing in his face also transmitted the sound of people shouting and neighing intermittently into his ears.

"Master, did you send troops to meet us?" Kazhu said happily.

"Will the eighth come to pick up this king? It's good if he doesn't fall into the ground, hahahaha! Amin suddenly looked up to the sky in despair and laughed, "It's the Ming army who has outflanked from the grassland!" ”
