Chapter 853: Zu Dabi's Determination (2)

Huang Taiji is full of ambition, the army surrounds the Ming army, at most after two to three days of fighting, you can completely annihilate this group of Ming army, as for the Ming army guarding in Montenegro and Yizhou, it is impossible to escape, the 100,000 army led by Dolgon is besieging Dalinghe City, once Dalinghe City is taken, the development of the battle situation will be beyond his imagination, the battle has been carried out until now, I have not heard any news from Su Tiancheng, it seems that the biggest worry does not exist.

Huang Taiji asked all the soldiers to be ready for battle, even a fly was not allowed to fly out of the city, a lot of things would happen in the night, fortunately, this was a place controlled by the soldiers of the Great Qing Dynasty for a long time, even if there was any trouble, they could quickly know.

It is possible for the Ming border army to break through, which is also expected by Huang Taiji, but he still doesn't believe it, after all, the commander of the Ming border army is Chen Xinjia, and he suddenly suffered such a big blow, Chen Xinjia is afraid that the six gods have no master, and it is impossible to make any decisions.

The most coveted by Huang Taiji, or the artillery of the Ming army, once upon a time, he wanted to buy these artillery in Anning Fort and Jingbian, but has not been able to do so, now the opportunity has come, as long as these artillery can be captured, the combat effectiveness of the Qing army will be greatly enhanced, especially in the battle to attack the city, the artillery will play a huge role, the Ming artillery to the army caused losses, Huang Taiji is very clear to remember.

In terms of the deployment of troops, Huang Taiji arranged a large number of sergeants in the east position, as for the direction of Guangning, there were not many troops, and he wished that the Ming army would attack in the direction of Guangning, which would be more conducive to exterminating the Ming army.

It was late at night, but it was not very quiet all around, and hundreds of thousands of troops were gathered here. It is impossible to be quiet.

At the time of the hour, the rumbling cannon suddenly appeared, and it was aimed at the east.

Huang Taiji was so shocked that he stood up from his sleep, and at this time, Fan Wencheng also hurriedly came in.

"Your Majesty, the Ming army has broken through."

"I know how to do it. Order Hauge and Azig to be sure to block it, not to allow the Ming army to break through, and order the army to quickly assemble in the direction of the east, and to block the Ming army here......"

The power of the artillery, at this moment was fully revealed, and the tent of the Golden Tartar was blown away, and quite a few war horses. began to hiss, some sergeants scurried around, dodging the shells, and many sergeants were directly blown into the air by the shells, and the raging flames also appeared.

Nearly fifty pieces of artillery were fired at the same time, and such a huge power caught Houjin Tatars off guard.

What they didn't expect was even more. The artillery was still firing, and the Ming army rushed over. The black-pressed Ming army rushed towards Houjin Tartar.

Hauge and Azig, who gritted their teeth, did not hesitate at all, immediately gathered a large army and began to intercept.

In the rumbling artillery fire, the sergeants on both sides fought together, and the shells did not grow eyes. Even the Ming army was blown away by the shells, and there were more and more Houjin Tartars surrounding them, and gradually, the Ming army was surrounded in the middle......

Zu Dale had tears in his eyes, when Zu Dabi led the sergeant to rush up. He almost didn't hold it back, but Zu Dabi had already made arrangements, and it was no longer time to argue.

Half an hour passed, and a large number of Houjin Tartars rushed over and surrounded the sergeants led by Zu Dabi, and the time was ripe.

Zu Dabi pulled out the steel knife and swung it forward, and the real breakthrough began.

The army began to move rapidly forward, their task was not to participate in the fighting, but to break out of the encirclement as quickly as possible and retreat in the direction of Dalinghe City.

At this time, another round of artillery began, and the huge sound of artillery and bombardment made the place extremely lively.

Hauge has been paying attention to the situation, the Ming army that broke through was surrounded, and the casualties on both sides continued to increase, but the tenacity of the Ming army made him have an ominous premonition, for what these Ming troops were surrounded, and they were still fighting desperately, in the face of several times the opponent, they should not insist, at least they should retreat, in the dark night, the sergeants led by themselves, did not dare to chase and kill with the past, if they were encircled by the Ming army, and made a major loss, it would be too undesirable.

When Zu Dale led the army to rush over, Hauge suddenly understood, but unfortunately he understood a little late.

For what was surrounded by the Ming army, desperately fighting, it turned out to attract the attention of the army, so that more Ming troops could take advantage of the situation to break through, Hauge did not expect that the Ming army would arrange such a tactic, there was actually a Ming army that was not afraid of death, willing to cover the rest of the Ming army retreat.

Thinking of mobilizing troops to stop, Haoge found with some pain that a large number of sergeants were fighting with the Ming army that rushed over, and the artillery of the Ming army was even more ferocious, and many sergeants and hungry horses were directly blown into the air.

When Huang Taiji personally led the army over, Haoge pointed to the front with a pale face, and simply reported the situation, there were already a large number of Ming troops, breaking through from this gap.

Huang Taiji's face turned pale, and he ordered Azig to lead the army in pursuit, no matter what, he couldn't let these Ming troops escape.

Huang Taiji's side, surrounded by thousands of personal guards, cannonballs are constantly falling around, they can't let Huang Taiji be hurt, then they don't have to think about life.

Looking at the explosion of the shells, Huang Taiji suddenly remembered something, and ordered Ao Bai beside him to immediately lead the sergeants to destroy the artillery of the Ming army, these artillery pieces were too powerful, and they caused too many casualties to the army.

The sky was slightly brighter.

Zu Dabi's side, there are not many border troops standing, the direction of the Shenji battalion, when the sky is about to dawn, there is a huge explosion, Zu Dabi is very clear, this is the sergeant of the Shenji battalion, detonated the bomb, they will never leave the artillery to the Houjin Tartars, before starting to break through, he arranged 5,000 sergeants, specially guarding the artillery, and he took 15,000 sergeants and rushed to the Houjin Tartars, since there was an explosion in the direction of the Shenji battalion, it means that the 5,000 sergeants guarding were all killed.

Around the battlefield, there were corpses everywhere, and the ground had been soaked in a thick layer of blood and turned dark black, and the losses of the Houjin Tartars and the border army were heavy.

Zu Dabi's face, a mixture of relief and sadness, overnight, 20,000 border troops, almost all killed, plus the previous day's fighting, 60,000 troops, the loss of more than half, but to give the Houjin Tartar a heavy blow, in Zu Dabi's view, the death of the Houjin Tartar, at least more than 10,000 people, with such a result, it is worth it.

The fight continued, Zu Dabi slashed over a Houjin Tartar with a knife, and rushed towards the battle group with a roar, his voice was already hoarse, and his body was also scarred, and he didn't think about it at all at this point or leave here.

The cold arrow suddenly penetrated Zu Dabi's body, Zu Dabi trembled slightly, tried to hold on, and did not fall off the horse, the pro-soldiers around him had already found out, and quickly concentrated towards Zu Dabi.

"Don't lean in, leave me alone, you go and kill the enemy......"

A large mouthful of blood spurted out, and Zu Dabi finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell on his back.

Zu Dabi fell, the pro-soldiers around him, red-eyed, someone jumped off the horse and hugged Zu Dabi, most of the pro-soldiers, like crazy, rushed towards the Houjin Tartar......

Zu Dale led 30,000 soldiers to break out of the encirclement relatively smoothly, but this was only the beginning.

Azig led the army, chasing after him, this is already a game of endurance, the army led by Zu Dale did not carry any artillery, in order to be able to break through quickly, the sergeant led by Azig also did not carry many weapons, the same is thinking of being able to catch up as soon as possible.

However, Zu Dale still has an advantage, the Ming army led by him, most of the sergeants, all carry flintlock pistols, this thing is much stronger than bows and arrows, so in the process of desperately retreating, Zu Dale organized several fights, using flintlock pistols to kill a lot of Houjin Tartars.

Azig didn't think at all, originally thought that as long as he caught up with the Ming army, it must be a one-sided massacre, and he couldn't imagine that the flintlock pistol of the Ming army was too powerful, so that the sergeants led by him were not counted as casualties, so that some sergeants, hearing the sound of flintlock pistols, unconsciously trembled, and pursued for two days, sometimes they were about to catch up, but a burst of flintlock pistols, and the sergeants in front of the charge fell off their horses.

Azig's eyes were also red, and judging by his judgment, he felt that the retreating Ming army was about to approach Dalinghe City, and if he let this group of Ming troops escape, he would be seriously derelict in his duties.

Zu Dale knew that the retreating army had reached the limit of physical strength, and the casualties were not small, and the arrow rain of the Houjin Tartar was too powerful.

At this time, Zu Dale also thought that someone must stay and fight with the Houjin Tartars, and lag behind the pace of the Jin Tartars' pursuit, otherwise there is a huge danger in the army, and it is very likely to be caught up, or the fate of the whole army, the 30,000 soldiers led by himself broke through the siege and lost more than 5,000 people, thinking that everyone can withdraw to Ningyuan or Shanhaiguan, it is impossible.

It was at this time that a thousand households stood up, this thousand households were previously Zu Dabi's subordinates, and he was willing to take five thousand people to delay the pace of the Golden Tartars' pursuit.

Zu Dale didn't say anything, and patted Qianhu's shoulder hard.

When bypassing Dalinghe City, there were only more than 10,000 soldiers left around Zu Dale, and they launched two consecutive blockades, but the Houjin Tartars led by Azig were not stupid, they left a part of the sergeants and fought with the Ming army, and the rest of the efforts to get rid of the blocking Ming army continued to pursue.

The casualties were huge, Zu Dale's heart was dripping blood, but he could only retreat quickly, and he didn't even have a chance to hesitate.

Five days later, the retreating army bypassed Jinzhou, and the Houjin Tartars, who were pursuing in the rear, finally stopped, and Azig did not dare to continue the pursuit, if he fell into the encirclement of the Ming army, I am afraid that he would not be able to withdraw from the city.
