On the morning of August 18, the fourth year of Chongzhen, outside the city of Dalinghe, a big battle was underway. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wooden siege carts were pushed towards the city walls by men in cloth clothes, and if you look closely, these people who led the carts were not Jurchens or Mongols, but all Han Chinese.

They are generally the inhabitants of the original Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, and after the city was captured by the Jurchens, in order to survive, they all became slaves of the Jurchens, which is commonly known as the Han Aha.

In peacetime, these people made cattle and horses for the Jurchens, were abused and tortured, and in wartime, they often wore thin cloth clothes, rushed to the front, and became cannon fodder.

Even so, only a few people receive the most basic food and clothing, and most people either freeze to death or starve to death, or die on the battlefield.

The wooden carts they were pushing were filled with sand, which was to fill the ravines dug by the Ming army outside the city, followed by the heavily armed Mongolian Eight Banners first, and the Jurchen Eight Banners cavalry wearing two layers of heavy armor at the end, which was also a tried and tested siege method in the Jurchens in Liaodong.

The earth-shattering shouts of killing have been going on for several days, and they can be heard clearly from miles away, under the desperate defense of the Ming army in the city.

The corpses of the Han and Mongols under the city were piled up, but driven by the Jurchens, they still rushed towards the city without fear of death.

In fact, at this time in history, Datong's reinforcements, like several other routes, had already been defeated in Changshan.

At this time, the Houjin people seemed to know that they would not come to reinforce the army, and adopted a strategy of besieging but not attacking the Daling River, and now they will attack the city.

A large part of the reason is that Xiao Yi also came to the aid with Sun Chengzong, which affected Azig's mentality, making him more anxious for quick success under irritability.

Azig personally commanded the battle outside the city, and he was accompanied by hundreds of cavalry of the two red banners, all of whom were the guards of the great general Azig.

Looking at Zu Dashou, who was struggling to wield his waist knife on the city wall, Azig, who only showed a pair of eyes, said lightly: "Abatai should also bring Xiao Yi's head back to General Ben." ”

Fan Wencheng on his side said with a smile: "It should be that the Ming army was defeated too quickly, and Baylor chased after it." ”

"Hahaha." Hearing Fan Wencheng's words, Baya Lazhangjing on Azig's side laughed.

At this moment, a Houjin cavalryman with a few white flags behind him rushed over, hugged his fists and said, "General Yuhe Shuobeile, Abatai is back." ”

Azig smiled at Baya Lazhangjing beside him, "Haha, I'm going to see what that Xiao Yi's head looks like." ”

When Azig arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, he didn't hear the loud talk and laughter of the past outside the tent, but he didn't think much about it, and walked into the tent as soon as he lifted the curtain.

Seeing Abatai standing in the center, the rest of the crowd stared at Abatai, and even Azig walked in and walked without reacting.

At that moment, Azig had some doubts in his heart, took off his helmet, sat on the first place, and Azig said: "What, did you bring back the head of Xiao Yi?" ”

Abatai did not speak, but still stood there steadily.

Hauge snorted coldly and said, "Let Ben Belle say it for him, he was defeated at the hands of Na Xiao Yi." ”

Azig's smile froze, and he was stunned: "What? You were defeated by a small Southern Korean guerrilla!? ”

Turg muttered, "If the flag is not damaged much, it doesn't matter..."

Turg's words alerted the rest, but Azig didn't.

This time, the original intention of letting Abatai go out was to weaken the two blue flags by Sun Chengzong's hand, which was also the instruction of Huang Taiji, compared to the battle damage, whether Xiao Yi was dead or not, this is where Azig is concerned.

However, looking at Abatai, Azig did not show any concern for Xiao Yi, but instead frowned and asked, "Abatai, is Qiding badly damaged?" ”

The rest of the people immediately paid attention, and Abatai suddenly became the center of attention.

Although it is a shame to be defeated by Daming, it is not without it, if it does not hurt its muscles and bones, it can be reluctantly accepted by everyone.

Standing in the middle of the tent, Abatai couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and this time the defeat was also strange.

Originally, there were only a few thousand Ming troops, and he had more than 10,000 iron cavalry, but in the field, Abatai didn't care at all.

Surrounded by arrogance, he thought that he could win no matter how he fought, but he didn't want to end up being defeated.

But it was just a matter of thinking about it, Abatai naturally couldn't say that, he just felt that the face wrapped in the helmet was steaming hot, and the heat was also rising on his body, and he was sweating profusely after a while.

Abatai knew that he was guilty, his status in Houjin was guaranteed to be the two blue flag soldiers under his command, after the war, his two blue flags were severely damaged by Xiao Yi, and the elite was lost, and when the news reached Shengjing, I was afraid that he would not be able to keep the banner owner, and Baylor's name would be lost.

As for the revenge of the soldiers, although Abatai personally wanted to kill back, but after thinking about it carefully, now Sun Chengzong should have made peace with Xiao Yi.

The Yongan Army couldn't be annihilated overnight, and now with Sun Chengzong's tens of thousands of reinforcements, how could they win?

What's more, seeing that the people of Azig are eager to try, they should all want to compete for the credit of defeating the reinforcements.

Abatai was a little flustered, and said: "General, I will make meritorious contributions, this defeat is completely worried about Sun Chengzong's assistance to Xiao Yi..."

The more Hauge listened, the more frowning he became, and the more he listened, the more impatient he became, and suddenly stopped: "Enough, Abatai, how many casualties are there in Qiding." ”

After all, the paper still can't contain the fire, and sooner or later it will be passed out, Abatai gritted his teeth and said, "... More than 1,300 people were killed and more than 3,000 wounded..."

After Abatai spoke, his head was already buried to the lowest.

Although they were mentally prepared, the battle damage still surprised Hauge and the others.

More than 1,000 people died in battle, this is not a thousand Han Ah, nor a thousand Mongolians, but a real banner man, and they will not change a flag man for a thousand Han people.

The Han people who died thousands of people in the battle, they don't even frown, but more than a thousand soldiers of the Eight Banners, this... It's a bit of an exaggeration.

Haoge was furious and scolded: "How could my Jurchen have suffered such casualties, and I can actually lose more than a thousand bannermen!" ”

Turg didn't say much after hearing it, sat back in his seat and muttered for a long time, and said, "Xiao Yi's name has been heard a lot recently. ”

Hauge nodded and said, "It's better to let Ben Belle lead the iron cavalry to level the Yongan army!" ”

When Azig heard that it was Xiao Yi again, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and he didn't listen to the words of Haoge and the others at all, and was thinking about leading the army to seek revenge.

At this moment, a soldier with a white flag entered the account and prostrately said: "General Yu and Shuobeile, capture the three fledgling bannermen, and it is said that they want to return to Shengjing!" ”

"Fleeing?"

Azig and the others were shocked and angry when they heard this word, and when they mentioned this kind of thing, they often thought of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty being defeated by their Jurchen 'warriors'.

Before the war, it was natural to be afraid of rout, but I didn't expect that this time it would become their Jurchen rout.

Hauge laughed back: "It's really funny, Abatai, you have done a lot of work!" ”

After this battle, more than 1,000 people were killed in the two blue flags, and 3,000 people were seriously injured and lightly injured.

The Jurchen soldiers who fled back only wanted to return to Shengjing, and they had long lost the sharpness they had when they first set out on the expedition, and since last night, there have been two blue flag bannermen, and they were found to have fled back to Shengjing without permission.

Especially in Baya Lazhangjing, every soldier in it is an elite carefully selected among the tens of thousands of people in the two blue flags, and they are all brave and good at fighting.

But it ended up almost annihilating the whole army, which made all the Houjin generals angry and unbearable.

At this time, Fan Wencheng came out: "General, according to the slave's view, let Abatai take the blue and blue flags and return to Shengjing first, so that you can recuperate." ”

Speaking of this, Fan Wencheng looked at Abatai and said, "Second, you can also let Lord Belle go back to Beijing first to ask for guilt." ”

Hauge said, "Hmph, I think this is the best. ”

After deliberation, Azig and Baylor decided to adopt Fan Wencheng's opinion, let the two blue flags return to Shengjing first, and let Abatai return to Beijing to plead guilty.

Abatai's army was defeated, and naturally it was time for him to show his skills, especially when he heard the report of several sentry riders, Xiao Yi still rushed to this side vigorously.

Azig was even more angry, the revenge of that shot, he has always remembered it vividly, if he didn't kill Xiao Yi, it would become a stain on his life.
