Chapter 79: Iron Horse Glacier

The biting cold wind, whistling by, repeatedly swept away the dead branches and snow on both sides of the three-way river. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Day and night, the banks of the river are silent, except for crows and vultures, who hover over the land despite the cold. With their keen sense of smell and perception, it seems to have been expected that there will be a sumptuous feast here.

Time passed in silence.

The battle was about to break out, and finally, on the eighteenth day of the first month of 1622, Nurhachi led 50,000 iron horsemen of Houjin, with siege equipment, divided into three roads, stepped through the ice, and crossed the Sancha River.

Later, the Jin Tie cavalry had just arrived on the other side of the river, and the Ming soldiers of the Sancha River gathered into battle and lined up on the riverbank. With a bow in his hand and a gun in his hand, he held his breath and waited for the order to shoot the arrows, and he was about to make the ice road covered with the blood of the Tartars.

At this tense and excited moment, I saw the guard Li Weilong, holding a long sword in his hand, standing on the riverbank, waving his arms majestically, and shouting, "Withdraw!" ”

As recorded in the historical data, the 5,000 Ming troops scattered and fled without a fight, and the reason for the escape is unknown.

In the face of the defeat of the 5,000 Ming army without a fight, Jianyu was very strong, and the speed of the march was several times faster than usual.

Nurhachi successfully crossed the river, shouting all the way to Xipingbao.

Luo was the first to receive the battle report, and he quickly gathered his generals to discuss a strategy to retreat from the enemy.

"Give me a thousand, and I'll go out and capture the Nu chief alive!" Black Cloud Crane was dressed in a battle robe and stepped forward to ask for orders.

Luo Zheng said with a deep face: "The enemy army has 50,000 iron cavalry, and you still want to capture the slave chief alive with 1,000 people?" It's overwhelming! ”

Guerrilla Li Maochun said: "Adjutant General, the enemy army is coming, how to deal with it?" ”

"For today's plan, the only way to do this is to stick to the city......"

"What?! Hold! The Black Cloud Crane roared, "At the moment of the great enemy, as a deputy general, you don't dare to go out to meet the enemy, but want to be a turtle with a shrunken head?" What a coward! ”

Guerrilla Li Maochun and Zhang Ming glanced at each other first, frowned, and said in their hearts, what kind of biao did they send back this time?

Zhang Mingxian said: "General Hei, what the adjutant general said is polite, with our 3,000 defenders in Xiping Fort, if we don't defend the city, we have no chance of winning." ”

"You don't talk nonsense! If you don't dare to fight, just surrender! ”

"Bold!" Luo has always been furious when he heard this, slapped the handsome case, and said angrily: "At the moment of the great enemy, you dare to demagogue people's hearts and speak lightly to the enemy, what crime should you be guilty of?!" ”

"The enemy army is coming, and you don't dare to fight, so what kind of battle are you fighting? What kind of general? Surrender for self-preservation! Black Cloud Crane's eyes widened, and he didn't show weakness.

Luo was so angry that his beard trembled.

Li Maochun and Zhang Mingxian hurriedly whispered to dissuade, "General Hei, you don't say a word......

"What's the understatement? Don't dare to fight, why don't you surrender? The Black Cloud Crane came to lose his temper and shouted violently.

"Humph! Bold Black Cloud Crane! At present, the great enemy has repeatedly spoken out of disrespect, if you are not treated, where is the prestige of this vice general?! Luo was always angry and shouted, "Someone! Tie me up! ”

"Adjutant General, General Hei is in a hurry, how can he have the heart to join the enemy?" Li Maochun said urgently.

Zhang Ming first continued: "Yes, deputy general, Heiyunhe has always been open-mouthed, and you know it." He doesn't have a heart. ”

"What's not the heart? I, the Black Cloud Crane, dare to admit it if I dare to say it! If you don't let me fight, I'll surrender!" ”

Luo Cheng was really angry this time, and his chest rose and fell in anger, "Tie up, tie up, hurry up and tie me up!" ”

A few soldiers came up and tied up the black cloud crane.

"Luo Zhengyi, you are a ...... of a young species" Black Cloud Crane struggled hard.

Li Maochun and Zhang Ming frowned anxiously, and said in their hearts, this person, you can't say a few words.

Luo has always taken a deep breath and tried his best to suppress his anger, "Tie this person to the head of the city, and after I retreat from the enemy, kill him personally, to!" Celebrate! Merit! ”

"Huh? Adjutant general, adjutant general ......"

The generals wanted to intercede, but Luo always ignored it, and immediately ordered that the generals should reorganize the army and resist the enemy at the head of the city!

……

Luo has always led the army to the top of the city, and in the face of the roaring 50,000 Jianyu iron cavalry, he calmly commanded.

Don't look at the small fort in Xiping, the defenders are only 3,000, but the Houjin who killed them can't get close.

Houjin rushed violently, and the Ming army fired rockets and guns at the head of the city, and waited at the same time. All kinds of weapons are used alternately and in an orderly manner.

With nearly 20 times the military strength, the Houjin attacked Xiping Fort in one day, which made the Houjin generals who were accustomed to winning more with less all feel humiliated.

The second Belle Amin, the third Belle Mang Gurtai, and the fourth Baylor Huangtaiji were all so angry that their teeth were itching.

What the is this!

"Who is this?" Nurhachi pointed to the calm command of the city and asked the people next to him.

"Great Khan, this person's name is Luo Zhengyi, and the official worships the position of deputy general." Li Yongfang said.

"He's the ...... Luo Zheng," Nurhachi said with a pinched whisker.

Daishan could not attack the city, retreated to Nurhachi's side, and said: "Great Khan, this defender of the city is so powerful. ”

"yes. It's a pity that he was loyal to the Ming court. Nurhachi looked at the city with pity, and suddenly asked Dai Shandao: "Eh, Sun Degong said in his letter that if this person surrenders, there will definitely be fraud." Do you think he will be submissive? ”

"Ming people and aspirants are all upright, and they may not be willing to do things that pretend to surrender." Dai Shandao.

"Great Khan, it is better to send a lobbyist to say surrender. If Luo has always surrendered easily, there must be a deception. When the time comes, it will be seen that the opportunity will be acted, and it will be captured and killed. Give him a plan. Li Yongfang said.

Nurhachi nodded, "Well, good plan. It's up to you! ”

"Yes!" Li Yongfang immediately retreated, and sent an envoy to Xipingbao to say that Luo had always surrendered.

The battle at the head of the city subsided for a while, and Luo always heard that there were lobbyists from Houjin, so he quickly recruited them to the head of the city.

When the envoy ascended to the top of the city, he saw that Luo was not humble at all, and his mouth was pursed, and he said what he would mean in the future. And repaid Nurhachi for the benefits of Luo's consistent surrender. What gold, silver, jewelry, mansion garden, high-ranking officials, plus a granddaughter.

Nurhachi has lived in a bitter cold place for many years, and if he has nothing else, he takes advantage of the fact that he has many granddaughters. In short, as long as you surrender, ask for money for money, and ask for a house for a house. Power and wealth, a few things that men like, there are a lot of them.

The messenger finished proudly, shook his head, looked up, and saw that Luo had always been angry, "Phew! Don't you know that you have always been righteous?! Don't say such small favors, even if you give me the position of the slave chief, it has always been not uncommon! ”

Luo Yi raised his hand and pointed to the head of the city, there was a person tied to a big pillar, with five flowers tied, and there were bloodstains on his face and body, and he was stuffed with cloth in his mouth, and he kept struggling with a whimper, and the shape was extremely terrifying.

"Did you see that? This man's name is Black Cloud Crane, and as soon as the slave chief arrived, he wanted to sacrifice the fort and surrender. The lieutenant has bound him up and will not be executed until I am victorious. This is the fate of traitors in my army! ”

When the envoy saw it, he didn't feel a trembling spirit, and he was faintly aware of the deputy general of the Ming army in front of him, and his eyes revealed a murderous aura......
