Chapter 426: The Butcher (I)
Hearing that the Jurchen soldiers led by Hauge retreated like this, Dorgon immediately turned over a few white smokes, he knew that Hauge had always been reckless, but he didn't expect to be so reckless. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the sword was not sealed for three days, if the border was fine, in the territory of Datong, where the Yong'an Army was stationed, everything should be careful, and Hauge killed Dolgon once and felt that it was very undesirable.
But when he heard that Haoge actually slaughtered three cities and several forts, he shook his head with hatred of iron and steel, isn't this forcing the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty to work together against his Dajin army, is this Haoge's brain filled with horse manure?
Looking at the man with the yellow flag, Dorgon thought to himself, this time it must be good news.
In Dolgon's eyes, Sakhalian is different from the reckless Azig and Hauge, he is a person with insight and a sense of the overall situation, and his bravery is not inferior to Hauge, which is also the reason why Huang Taiji handed over Yingzhou and Dashigu Pass to Sakhalian, which is not unrelated to Dolgon's strong recommendation.
A look of resentment appeared on the face of this Jurchen cavalryman with a yellow flag, and he clenched his fists and said: "Yu Beile, our department has withdrawn from the territory of Datong four days ago and returned to China first... The minions came here on the orders of (Sakhalian) Baylor, warning Dorobel not to attack the town of Datong and to return home quickly! ”
Hearing this, Dolgon's eyes widened directly, there are too many things he has encountered these days, even Dolgon, who has always been calm and composed, is a little unbearable.
Dolgon followed the army to enter many times, and the border towns of the Ming Dynasty were not set up under the iron hooves of his Dajin, and the Ming army could not even resist, which time was not a full return.
But this time it was too strange, the four-way army had already gone to two roads before they reached the town, and both of them suffered heavy casualties, thinking of this, Dolgon glanced at the tall city wall.
The Zhenghuang Banner led by Huang Taiji failed to arrive in Zhencheng as scheduled, could it be that he returned to China ahead of schedule?
If this is the case, the white flag he carried will become a turtle in the urn, and the lone army will go deeper, and while the Yong'an army has not yet returned to help, it is time to attack and retreat, and it is time to make a decision.
Just then, a white-flaged sentry galloped back and shouted at Dorgon from afar.
"Oh no! Baylor, no! Dust and smoke were found two miles away, and it seemed that the Yongan Army had come to help! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a few more horses came from the east and west.
"The east side too!"
"A large amount of dust and smoke was found on the west side, it seems that a large group of Ming troops are attacking!"
Dolgon waved his hand quietly when he heard this, and he didn't have any panicked look, he knew that the number of Yong'an troops in Xiao Yi's hands was only more than 10,000 at most.
If you form that hedgehog-like formation, Dorgon will be a little more afraid, but if the soldiers are divided into three ways, it will be self-defeating!
Dolgon, who had fought Xiao Yi once, already believed that he knew Xiao Yi quite well, and Xiao Yi would never do such a taboo thing!
Then there is only one conclusion, the Yong'an army still came all the way, and the other two roads were all suspicious tactics set up by Xiao Yi, intended to delay the return of the Jurchen army.
If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that the neck ring would have been at a loss in this situation, but Dolgon was not confused, and it only took a short time to analyze the general situation.
Dolgon suddenly laughed, and the Ba Ya Lama beside him was really puzzled, "What is Baylor laughing at?" ”
A chill suddenly appeared in Dolgon's eyes, and he said: "A person from a mere civilian background is actually proficient in the way of training soldiers and controlling the army, and he also played a suspicious plan with Ben Baylor, don't you think it's funny?" ”
Hearing this, this baba really laughed a few times.
"Ah, what Baylor said is that it seems that there is no one in Hangou, let a man lead the army."
Dolgon shook his head unexpectedly and said, "At such a time, there is such a Xiao Yi, Ben Belle really doesn't understand, what is the destiny of my Dajin, Central Plains... Central Plains. ”
Looking at Dolgon's appearance of looking up to the sky and sighing, the rest of the white flag leaders were staring at each other with big eyes, and no one dared to say anything, nor did they understand what Dolgon meant by this.
...
Dong Yinghua in the city was actively preparing for war and mobilizing the whole army to defend the city, but he heard a horn outside the city, and the Tartar cavalry who had been stationed on the horse for a long time moved, and under the gaze of everyone, he turned his horse's head and went to the north!?
Seeing this scene, the sergeant of the Zhenwei battalion in the city was silent for a while, and the Tartar ran away?
After a while, there was a burst of cheers, and the Tartars actually retreated without a fight under the city, many of them had been refugees from all over the world, and it was the first time they had encountered them in all these years, and this vicious Tartar was also afraid!
Dong Yinghua hasn't slept well these days, and after hearing that the Tatar cavalry was coming to attack the town, he even thought about it when he slept and dreamed, and he didn't want to live up to Xiao Yi's trust, so he racked his brains to lay all kinds of traps outside the city.
When laying out, Dong Yinghua didn't think much about it because he was too nervous, just thinking about the types and number of traps, so naturally the more the merrier, and even personally consulted the hunters to use their methods of catching prey in the mountains and forests.
Now it's okay, the Tartars haven't come in, and their own people can't get in, this trap naturally can't be placed all the time, and it has to be dismantled little by little, and it took almost half a month just to arrange it, this demolition must be even more troublesome, and it really can't be dismantled without a month, thinking of this, Dong Yinghua is head full of black lines.
......
Dolgon immediately made a decision, and led more than 10,000 iron horsemen with white flags to turn northward, and he naturally knew what the goal of the battle was.
Neither how many cattle and sheep were plundered, nor how many people were gained this time, but the number of his Dajin bannermen, this is the key, as long as the iron horse is not damaged, Dajin can make a comeback, again and again.
The rest of the Ming Dynasty is not like Datong Town, Dajin's strength has not been damaged, and he will no longer enter Datong, and there are only so many people in the Yong'an Army, and he can't take care of the overall situation at all, Dolgon believes that as long as he is willing to wait, there will always be a day when Xiao Yi will make a mistake.
At that time, it will be the time for him to lead the army to plunder Datong again and destroy the Yongan army!
The army did not stop for a moment, and marched straight for dozens of miles, looking at the familiar fortress in front of him, Dolgon frowned, isn't this the settlement that he has been in a few years ago?
It was here that Dolgon was defeated for the first time by Xiao Yi, a newly appointed town commander, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was the first defeat in his life.
This place made the scalps of all the Jurchens with white flags who participated in that battle numb, and the tragic scene of that day is still vivid, and now they are using the horse needles on their boots to urge the war horses under their crotches more frequently, wanting to pass through here quickly.
The galloping Jurchen cavalry did not notice the difference in the settlement city, and none of the soldiers of the Zhenwei battalion, who should have been waiting for the battle, were gone, and there was a deathly silence.
Dolgon inadvertently glanced to the left while riding, and immediately noticed a difference, how could it be so quiet?
Even if the Ming army in the city is afraid of him, the Jurchen Iron Cavalry should not be so quiet, for fear that there are ghosts!
As soon as he thought of this, Dolgon suddenly heard several horse screams beside him, and before he could react, a large pit appeared on the ground he was passing by, and under the big pit, what was waiting for these Jurchen warriors was sharpened hardwood.
Dolgon had no time to care, his horse had already fallen first, and the miserable appearance made Dolgon terrified.
With a loud roar, Dorgon held the edge of the pit firmly with one hand, and with a single effort, he leaped to his feet and jumped on another horse with lightning speed, only then did he have time to look around.
Naturally, it was impossible for everyone to react as fast as Dolgon, and the pit was full of wailing and screaming Jurchens and their mournful war horses.
Unless they are directly pierced through the head and other vital points, people will not die for a period of time, let alone the Jurchens who are stout by nature, they have a lot of blood, and their bodies fall on the sharp wood, although they will die, they can only howl miserably and wait for the moment when the blood flows dry.
It is better to kill them directly, this kind of wailing is everywhere, and the shock to the surviving Jurchens is also several times stronger, and the blow to the military heart is naturally more serious.
Dolgon immediately shouted: "Retreat! Don't panic! Steady your horse and get around the pit from the left! ”
After all, the Jurchens were still battle-hardened, and immediately after the initial panic, they methodically rode their horses to change direction, slowly navigating the pit to both sides.
"Bang!"
But at this moment, a loud bang came, and thousands of cannons were pushed out on both sides, and the two giant cannons at the head of the Jurchens were all too familiar, this was the Hongyi cannon they were captured by the Yong'an Army!
