readx; Huang Taiji was so angry by the Ming army that his nose bleeded wildly, and the blood had not stopped for nearly a day, which made it even worse, and he fainted because of excessive blood loss. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ》]

Everyone panicked, and hurriedly carried Huang Taiji back to the big tent, touching his chest and beating his back. At this moment, some people have already had an ominous premonition: Is Huang Taiji about to "die"?

After a long time, Huang Taiji woke up slowly. Although his face was sallow and he still looked bad, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he still reluctantly sat up, and with the support of the eunuch Yang Chun, he walked out of the big tent again, and commanded the Qing army to attack the five Ming snipers.

The snipers are repeating their old tricks, I will run if you come, I will fight if you stop, and I will chase if you run. In desperation, dozens of Qing soldiers had to play a game of turning back and running with these five people, although the Ming army had no time to aim and shoot, but they could not live in peace for a moment. As for the main force of the Qing army, they did not dare to act rashly at all.

At this time, Zilharang, Dolgon and other Manchu nobles also rushed to hear the news. Zilharang originally advocated the withdrawal of the army, but at this time he persuaded: "Our army is long in cavalry shooting, so it may not be able to make much progress in confronting the Ming army." has dragged on for a long time, but it is inevitable that the old city will be under the division, but it will be passive. Besides, the emperor's dragon body is not safe, so he should focus on the holy body, go first, and after he recovers from his illness, it is not too late to wave his teacher south. ”

Originally, Zierharang's strategy could be called a serious and steady one, but Huang Taiji had just sent two partial divisions, and he wanted to achieve greater results, and now the Ming army had just gone to the outside of the city, and he withdrew his army, which also seemed too much, how to convince the public in the future?

Therefore, Huang Taiji shook his head and said, "I am not a big deal. Now we can't withdraw the siege, we have captured hundreds of thousands of stone grain in Tongzhou, enough for hundreds of thousands of troops to eat for half a year, how can we say that the old city is under the division? However, Jingshi has a population of one million, and if it is besieged for half a year, most of the people in the city will starve to death. I'm not going anywhere, I'm just sitting here. If you want to withdraw the army, you have to wait for the reinforcements of the Ming army to be lured by the two partial divisions, and you can win the battle quickly! ”

When Huang Taiji said this, a partial division composed of the red flag and the red flag, with a strength of about 20,000, was marching on the official road from Beijing to Xuanfu. However, the two flags did not join forces, but the red flag was in front and the red flag fell behind. After passing Changping, gradually entering the mountainous area, the road became more and more difficult to walk, and the team became longer and longer, and the distance between the front and back was more than 20 miles.

The owner of the red flag is Prince Li Daishan, and the owner of the red flag is Yue Tuo, the king of Doro County, and Yue Tuo is the eldest son of Dai Shan. However, due to Dai Shan's early pampering of the side Fujin, Yue Tuo, who had lost his mother, became a thorn in his eye and a thorn in his flesh, and the father and son had already fallen out. Later, Yue Tuo became the owner of the red flag with his military merits, and Dai Shan wanted to borrow the military power in his son's hands to increase his weight in the fight for the throne, but Yue Tuo categorically refused, and the two became strangers from then on.

On this expedition, Huang Taiji favored the two of them to partner up, which was actually a kind of containment and supervision of the two flags. Of course, Yue Tuo didn't want to look at his father's hateful face, so he deliberately dragged behind on the pretext that the road was narrow and the two armies could not advance together, but in fact he hoped that Dai Shan would fight hard with the Ming army, so that he could sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

On the other hand, Yue Tuo led the red flag to sweep in this area a few days ago, although he also robbed a lot of money, food and materials, but hundreds of his subordinates were inexplicably attacked by the Ming army that came out of nowhere, and when he arrived with the army, there was only a headless corpse left. This couldn't help but make Yue Tuo feel palpitations. He couldn't help but think of the murderous Ming cavalry he had encountered in Zhuolu Town, and he suspected that it was the cavalry that did a good deed.

Between Jingshi and Xuanfu, there are three county seats: Changping, Yanqing, and Huailai, but these three counties have been looted by red flags and set on fire. Dai Shan turned his target to the township, his Zhenghongqi had not fought any hard battles along the way, and he was disdainful of the Ming army, and still took Niu Lu as a unit, divided into dozens of groups and flowed around.

On the first day, there was no incident, and Dai Shan's pro-army reached the Badaling Great Wall and destroyed all the nearby beacon towers. All the villages along the way from Changping to Badaling were looted like a sieve, and larger villages and towns such as Shahe, Machikou, and Nankou were looted. Of course, the common people in these villages and towns had already run out, and the Qing army was just grabbing some grain and livestock and poultry.

The next day, the march of Zhenghongqi slowed down significantly. On the one hand, it is because the mountain roads are becoming more and more difficult to walk, and on the other hand, according to the Eight Banners system, except for a part of the spoils captured in the war, they must be handed over to the flag owner, and the rest will belong to themselves. The banner owner does not prepare military rations for his subordinates, and brings his own dry rations when he sets off, and it depends on how much you can grab later. Therefore, the Qing army had a great enthusiasm for looting, and they robbed so many things on the first day, and naturally they couldn't go fast on the second day.

On this day, Zhenghongqi was still looting everywhere, and villages and towns such as Kangzhuang and Huozhuoying were looted and set on fire. Daishan himself traveled less than forty miles, and spent the night in a small village called the East Garden. Tomorrow, he will cross the Yongding River, head west to reach Huailai, and then continue into Xuanfu. He slept very soundly this night, because for two whole days, he didn't even see a shadow of the Ming army, it seems that the Ming army is really cowering in Xuanfu City, and he doesn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

However, on this cold autumn night, in a ruined earthen fort thirty miles away from here to the west, there were 5,000 Ming cavalry who had already made three shifts and were preparing to start at this time.

There is a group of magnificent halls in the center of the earthen fort, which are three halls in the front, middle and back, and four courtyards, but now they are also dilapidated, and the paint on the doors and windows is mottled. A plaque is hung on the main hall, and the handwriting on it has become dim, and it is vaguely recognizable that it is the three big characters of "Xianzhong Temple".

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a filial piety belt on his head is silently offering incense and bowing to more than 20 clay statues in the hall with tears in his eyes. Each statue is preceded by a tablet, which is written in turn with the names of "British Gong Zhang Fu, Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong, Gongshun Hou Wu Kezhong, Yongshun Bo Xue Shou, Bingbu Shangshu Kuang Ye, Hubu Shangshu Wang Zuo" and so on.

After bowing, the middle-aged man faced the southeast again, kowtowed three times, and cried bitterly: "Father! Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and the child has been reused by the saint and shouldered the heavy responsibility of resisting captivity, so he can't go back to his hometown to guard your soul! ”

Suddenly, a Chinese officer hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Governor, the whole army has been prepared, do you want to pull out?" ”

The middle-aged man wiped away his tears and nodded resolutely: "Open up!" ”
