Chapter 310: Ambush the Long Mountain, the Tiger Pounces on the Rabbit
After rising from the camp, Xiao Yi followed Sun Chengzong and Han Shimeng to lead the army all the way, but all he saw was the vicissitudes of life all over the land and the withering villages everywhere. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Suddenly, a group of several hundred displaced people in front of the army came to help the old and the young, all because of the threat of the Jurchens who displaced them, and the officers and soldiers were powerless to stop them, so they had to drag their families and flee south.
On both sides of the road were hungry and thin-faced and numb people, but when they saw the officers and soldiers coming, they were not afraid, and I don't know who shouted.
"It's the Inspector's men and horses who have arrived, and the Inspector has led the army to quell the chaos!"
The people who were still sluggish on the side of the road just now heard this voice, and immediately swarmed over, afraid that there were spies of the Houjin people among them to endanger the superintendent, and several personal guards hurriedly stepped forward to stop them under the instruction of the chief soldier Qiu Hejia.
Sun Chengzong coughed lightly, and his expression was slightly reproachful: "Don't stop it, in my Ming Dynasty, how dare the slaves and thieves be presumptuous and let the people come." ”
Xiao Yi looked at this scene, although he expected it, but he still couldn't help but feel sad.
He said to Shi Gang and a few people: "This trip is becoming more and more dangerous, from now on, it will be like entering the battlefield, remember to strictly restrain the sergeant, if you violate any regulations, Hugh blame will not talk about brotherhood, and you will not be spared!" ”
Listening to Xiao Yi's stern words, everyone didn't dare to be careless, and they all hugged their fists.
"Obey the general's orders!"
Han Shimeng listened to Xiao Yi's words to his subordinates in front, and he was already a little surprised in his heart, and his heart became more and more eager to see the true combat power of this Yong'an Army.
Seeing Sun Chengzong's determined expression, Qiu Hejia sighed lightly and waved his hand towards the guard.
The guards hurriedly got out of the way, but their eyes were still fixed on the swarming refugees, and the waist knife in their hands seemed to be ready to be swung at any time.
……
On the city of Dalinghe, although there was no movement from the Tartars, Zu Dashou still did not dare to take it lightly, and the Liaodong border army was also ready to fight.
Those Ming Dynasty sergeants who stood by the cannon with torches in their hands and serious faces, even the Later Jin people, had no doubt that as long as they entered the range of the cannon, they would not hesitate to bombard it.
Since the fourth day of the first month, Zu Dashou has been wearing armor for more than ten days, patrolling the city wall day and night, not daring to relax at all, several times Zu Dashou listened to the sound of artillery and fighting outside, and wanted to rush down to the city to respond.
It's just that there are still tens of thousands of Tartar cavalry arrays under the city, and it is impossible to rush out by yourself, and you have to take the lives of these young sergeants.
"Alas!"
Zu Dashou sighed deeply, slapped his hand on the city wall that had just been built in anger, and asked Guo Yongxian, the pro-general on his side, "How are the reinforcements of the imperial court?" ”
Speaking of this, Guo Yongxian was also darkly gloomy, and shook his head: "Alas, since Hou Junmen died in battle half a month ago, and after the defeat of the Xuanfu army, there has been no news. ”
Hearing this, a Liaodong soldier with an ancestral birthday was sad and indignant, and asked loudly: "General, will we be abandoned by the imperial court!" ”
"That's right, general, otherwise, if you take us out of the city, it's better to die in battle than to starve to death!"
A dark-faced guard shouted, "Killing two Tartars is enough to avenge my father and mother!" ”
Zu Dashou looked at these soldiers, everyone was the same as himself, they didn't take off their armor for more than ten days, they were all disgraced, and many of them still had injuries on their bodies.
Sighing again, Zu Dashou asked, "How long can the grain and grass in the city support?" ”
He Kegang on his side said softly: "At most, it can only be eaten by the soldiers in the city for two months, but if it goes on like this, the last general is afraid that in less than a month, the soldiers will be exhausted. ”
Zu Dashou nodded, he didn't know anything about this, but he was helpless, the imperial court reinforcements had been delayed, and he was afraid that there would be no more.
If there is only one person in the city, his ancestor Dashou, he can immediately kill out of the city with a knife, and dying in battle can be regarded as loyalty and filial piety for the Ming in his heart.
But in addition to himself, there are more than 10,000 young soldiers, Zu Dashou really can't bear them to die on the battlefield with him like this, so he has to sigh lightly, even if there are no reinforcements from the imperial court, he also believes that the governor will not give up.
"Defend the city, if the Tartars come to attack, you don't need to ask for instructions, just fire a cannon."
After saying that, he turned his head and was about to leave.
Suddenly, the gongs and drums outside the city were loud, the smoke and dust were billowing, and when I looked outside the city, I saw the Tartar camp with flags moving, and the Tartars were about to attack the city!
After arranging for the main generals to guard their positions, Zu Dashou looked at the Houjin army that was being mobilized outside the city, and the people in the camp shouted and neighed, and thousands of people from the Six Banners Mongolia had already set up a cloud ladder out of the camp and lined up.
Zu Dashou couldn't help but wonder, the Houjin people, who had been planning to besiege the city, had been motionless for half a month, and what was the intention of suddenly making such an eager siege action at this time?
……
At the same time, there was also a lot of discussion in the big tent of the Chinese army in Azig outside the city.
"Bang!"
Azig waved his big hand and smashed it directly on the seat, smiling and smiling: "It's this Sun Chengzong again, where did he get 50,000 horses, and he dared to come to the rescue, isn't he afraid of death?!" ”
Turg was wearing a full body armor inlaid with white flags, and said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to worry, only 50,000 Ming troops, and 20,000 blue flag warriors of Bel Abatai are enough to be defeated." ”
Wearing the full body armor of the blue flag, Abatai glanced at Turg and stepped forward to ask for battle.
"What Turge said is right, the reinforcements on Jinzhou Avenue have been exhausted, so Abatai can lead the army to intercept it, and the general will lead 30,000 warriors to attack and harass, so that the Ming army in the city has no time to take care of it." Azig nodded.
At this time, a person dressed as a literati came out and said: "Sun Chengzong is scheming, and the general should not be despised either." ”
The person who spoke before was the head of the traitors in the late Ming Dynasty, Fan Wencheng.
This Fan Wencheng, the whole family was sent to Liaodong by Zhu Yuanzhang during the Hongwu period, and in order to help Houjin deal with the Ming Dynasty, it was simply to the point of exhaustion.
He participated in the decision-making of all the strategies of the Ming Dynasty, the rebellion against the Ming officials, the attack on Korea, the gradual conquest of Mongolia, the construction of various systems of the Qing Dynasty, etc., and the current Nu chieftain Taiji relied on and trusted him very much.
So even if Hauge and the others were quite inconspicuous to him, they had to respect his opinion.
Later, Huang Taiji showed his trust in Fan Wencheng to the fullest.
Dolgon's own brother, Yujun Wang Duoduo, was drunk overnight, vented his unhappiness in his heart, tried his best to bully Fan Wencheng, and even robbed Fan Wencheng's wife.
Fan Wencheng belonged to Duoduo's subordinates, and it was understandable to possess the wives of his subordinates among the Jurchens, and it was also one of the customs of the barbarian tribe, but for Fan Wencheng, it was the opposite, and it was a great shame.
It stands to reason that Huang Taiji should favor the prince Duoduo, who is also a clansman and can fight well, and punish the Han Fan Wencheng, everyone didn't expect it.
Huang Taiji actually fined Duoduo 1,000 taels of silver, took away 15 Niu Lu, and deprived him of the title of King of Yujun, although it deliberately weakened Duoduo, but his affection for Fan Wencheng can also be seen.
Fan Wencheng's strategy, even Azig, who is a general, has to pay attention to it.
The Red Flag Lord, Belle Yueto laughed, and looked at Fan Wencheng with mocking eyes: "The Southern Dynasty is weak, what is there to fear, no need for Abatai, this Belle leads more than 10,000 Red Flag warriors, which is enough to destroy it!" ”
While everyone was discussing, suddenly a Houjin sergeant wearing a white flag and heavy armor lifted the curtain and entered the tent, knelt on the ground, and said loudly.
"Report ~, General Yu and Shuobeile, according to the report of Aha along the way, the reinforcements of the Ming army have arrived at Daxingbao!"
Azig got up from his seat and laughed: "Can you find out who led the Ming army and what banner it was flying?" ”
The white flag Tartar soldier frowned and thought for a while before saying: "At the head of the banner of Sun Chengzong's superintendent, followed by the newly arrived Datong Ming army, waving the five-character banner of Han, Meng, Ren, Ge, and Xiao!" ”
After hearing this, there was a burst of laughter in the tent, and the Tartars asked for more than one battle.
Turge laughed: "Another town of the Ming army is coming, this is a military feat sent to the door, we can repeat the old tricks, set up an ambush in Changshan to wait, the Ming army will be defeated!" ”
The rest of Hauge and the others all laughed and rushed to fight, but they couldn't hear a word from Azig.
After the Jin soldier said goodbye, he looked at Azig, but found that Azig's expression was a little wrong.
Fang Cai was still smiling all over his face, but at this time it was cloudy, could it be that he said something wrong?
Azig clenched his fists, and his voice was full of hatred: "Xiao Zi Daqi, is it that Xiao Yicheng again?" Although he said that, Azig already had the answer in his heart, except for Xiao Yi, he had never heard of any generals surnamed Xiao in the Southern Dynasty.
Turg muttered, "Could it be Xiao Yi who defeated Ezhe in Ulzhou? ”
At this moment, Fan Wencheng whispered: "It seems that this Xiao Yi was promoted very quickly, half a year ago he was a small garrison, but now he has become a guerrilla general." ”
Hearing this, Hao Ge snorted coldly: "What if Xiao is also a little guerrilla general? Mr. Wen Cheng should not increase the morale of the Ming army and damage the prestige of my Jurchen warriors. ”
I only heard Azig say coldly: "Xiao Yi can only win by taking advantage of the Mongols' missteps to light the enemy's rash advance, not to mention that our Jurchen warriors are comparable to the Mongols?" ”
Fan Wencheng said with a flattering smile: "What the general said is very true, from the fact that he followed Sun Chengzong to his death this time, you can know that Xiao Yi is a mediocre person, so there is no need to worry too much." ”
Abatai looked at Fan Wencheng, the disgust in his eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "It's just right, Ben Beile will personally go into battle, and Xiao Yi will come first!" ”
Azig shouted hello and said to Abatai: "After taking Xiao Yi's head, remember to dismantle his headless body in eight pieces and throw it to feed the wild dogs in the barren mountains." ”
Abatai laughed and walked out of the tent of the Chinese army.
After leaving the tent, the smile on Abatai's face disappeared immediately, clenched his fists, and called a Han man Aha with an expressionless face.
This Han man Aha didn't know why, and thought that he had something to order, so he immediately ran over with a smile to lead the horse for him.
Unexpectedly, it was not Abatai's horse rope that ushered in, but his knife.
After returning to the camp, a positive blue flag bull Lu Ezhen immediately rushed to lead the horse for Abatai, and when he saw the blood on Abatai's breastplate, he immediately understood what was going on.
Ordering the 20,000 Jurchen cavalry with the blue flag and the blue flag, Abatai led the army to the south that night, and the destination was naturally the Changshan where Zu Dale was captured, the general soldier Hou Shilu was killed, and the 50,000 Xuanfu army was defeated.
