Yang Yi already had a little understanding of his situation, so he always had a bitter and hateful but helpless expression on his face, so it was also suitable for the situation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the Ming military camp on the hill north of Songshan, surrounded by a long circle of trenches, and the pine stakes are sharpened and inserted into the inner side of the trenches, forming a fence more than two feet high, isolating the military camp from the outside world.

The place where Yang Yi was located was a wounded barracks near the rear of the barracks, so the camp tent at this time exuded a strong and pungent smell of medicine, which suppressed the original blood.

Between the bursts of crying and humming, the atmosphere in the camp tent was still a little depressing, and the busy military medical officers went in and out of the camp tent with a straight face, occasionally scolding a few words. Occasionally, the soldiers from outside walked in, all looking very tired, and what was even more noticeable was the smear of dead ash in their eyes.

Yang also understood what this was, so his heart became more and more bitter.

It was still early, and someone had already brought food in. He looked at the rice grains in the earthen bowl that could be counted at a glance, the corners of his mouth raised, and he still picked it up and drank it.

The complaints next to him also sounded at this time, and the people outside heard it, and they lifted the tent door and looked inside, and they didn't pay attention to it, but in the current situation, many things have become irreversible, and no one will care about a few complaints. Of course, if you want to say too much, you will be suspected of disturbing the morale of the army, and you will still be reprimanded.

These soldiers themselves don't have much malice, just a little venting. In fact, these people lying in the wounded barracks were all wounded on the way to attack, that is to say, they were all bloody sons.

Among the six people in the tent at the moment, Yang Yi was the most seriously injured, and when he opened his eyes, he had already placed it next to the fire, and if it was a moment later, he would be buried in the fire.

Fortunately, he woke up early.

They are all men who have been slashed in a sea of swords and fire, and their reactions to his corpse are not too intense. After asking "is it a human or a ghost", and also sent him back, in the next few days, under the "diagnosis and treatment" of the medical officer, he finally improved, and now he was able to get out of bed and walk around, and then he was moved to his current place, probably temporarily serving as a reserve.

The few people next to him were all strangers to him, and it was not easy to talk. Everyone belongs to different backgrounds, and their relatives are also different. Although their immediate boss is Cao Bianjiao, the chief soldier.

The memories that gradually cleared up in his mind made Yang Yi understand what the current situation was, and he thought deeply, the most important thing in front of him was how to live. No matter how good he is, he still knows that the Ming Dynasty will die in the end, which means that the chance of winning this battle is very small at all, plus what happened in the past year, what is sometimes revealed around him...... All these things make Yang Yi have a strong sense of urgency about the future.

Time to push forward the year, Chongzhen 14 years in March, Huang Taiji sent troops to besiege Jinzhou, Jinzhou guard general Zu Dashou reported to the Ming court: "Jincheng rice is only for more than a month, and the bean is less than a month, if the cunning voice is more Yin, Ning Jin qi pulse is interrupted, then Song, Xing, Jin three cities are already in a precarious situation, the morning is not over. ”

So the Ming court ordered Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, to summon Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, and Tang Tong, the chief soldier of Miyun, and asked them to select their own elite soldiers to go to reinforcements. In March of the 14th year, he went out of the customs with Cao Bianjiao, Ma Ke, and Bai Guangen, plus Wu Sangui, Wang Tingchen, and a total of eight generals, 130,000 soldiers, and 40,000 horses, and stationed in Ningyuan together.

Under this premise, Huang Taiji personally led the army to cut off the grain route of the Ming army, the Ming army was in chaos, the Qing army took advantage of the situation to cover up, and the governor Hong Chengchou and others were surrounded in Songshan, and the stalemate between the two sides reached July.

At that time, Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of the army, Ma Ke, the commander-in-chief of Shanhai, Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan, and Liu Zhaoji, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, encountered the Qing troops at Loess Terrace, Songshan, and Xingshan, and the two sides suffered casualties on both sides, and the Qing troops retreated and stationed in the newly built city of Yizhou.

The main general, Hong Chengchou, advocated a cautious and steady use of troops, while the opinion of the imperial court was that it was not easy for so many troops to get food and salaries, and that a quick battle should be resolved. So he ordered Zhang Ruoqi to come and urge Hong Chengchou to send troops.

Hong Chengchou considered that Jinzhou had been besieged for a long time, and in desperation, he had no choice but to decide to rescue Jinzhou immediately. However, the battle did not go well.

In August, Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief, was killed in battle, and Li Fu, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi, took his place......

Under the defeat, although a series of adjustments were made, it was also manpower. In addition, hearing that the emperor would come to supervise the war in person, the generals were afraid in their hearts, and when the time came to the war, they suffered defeats one after another, and at this time, the road to transport grain and grass was also cut off, and the whole military camp was naturally panicked......

In the face of the encirclement of Huang Taiji, Hong Chengchou then mobilized all the general soldiers to hold a meeting in the big tent of the Chinese army, and finally decided on the strategy of breaking through the siege at the same time, but I don't know if it was the wrong time, or some human reasons, the general soldier Wang Pu did not wait for the time to meet and escaped at night, there was a previous department, the general soldiers Tang Tong, Ma Ke, Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen, etc. also fled one after another, for a time from Xingshan to the south to Shanhaiguan Road was mostly Ming deserters, Huang Taiji naturally would not let go of this opportunity to "beat the water dogs", sent troops to block, killed no calculation, There are countless Ming troops drowned in the sea alone.

After Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen heard the news of the fiasco, they beat their chests but were helpless, and after hearing that Hong Chengchou had not broken through, they rushed back to Songshan and defended with Hong Chengchou.

After Wu Sangui and Wang Pu escaped, they occupied Xingshan, and after a few days they were short of food and grass, and wanted to return to their old base in Ningyuan, but they encountered an ambush on the road, and they suffered another fiasco, only saving their own lives, and as for their officers and soldiers, they lost a total of more than 53,700 people when they broke through.

This directly led to the tightening of the encirclement of Jinzhou and Songshan, and looking at the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty, there were no decent reinforcements.

Yang Yi is currently in the besieged Songshan camp, and he has no heart to think about what the situation is outside. In other words, what can he do as a small soldier under such a general trend?

Not even a chance to be a deserter.

The road ahead is nothing but death or descent.

Yang Yi smiled bitterly, listening to the laughter and scolding of his colleagues, thinking that he was a dead man in the first place, and he didn't care about dying again.

From a certain point of view, since God let him live again, he will not be in such a hurry, with such a mentality, he still has some expectations for tomorrow.

Then he heard the sound of drums outside, and he knew that it was the Qing army on the opposite side that had come to persuade him to surrender again.

The place where the wounded barracks was located was a little empty and a little far away, but because it was downwind, it was also audible.

Such as: "Governor Hong, have you forgotten Yuan Chonghuan?" Have you forgotten how your emperor treated meritorious men? ”

There was a sudden silence in the marching tent, and the pins could be heard. Yang also turned his head away.

It's October of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen!
