265 Battle of Xuzhou
"Zuo Tianqiang, you lead people to guard the city gate, take over the troops behind, and the rest of the people, all go with me to attack the Tartar barracks, now the generals of the Tartars are all drinking, this is a good time to attack them." After entering Xuzhou City, Gao Jie shouted to the generals around him.
After Gao Jie finished his order, he led people to rush towards the Manchu barracks, the sound of horses' hooves, shouting and killing, for a while, the originally silent Xuzhou City instantly became more lively than the usual market.
It's a pity that Gao Jie didn't rush out far with the people, he suddenly stopped, not that they took the initiative to stop, but they had to stop, when they walked here, they saw that the original dark street, instantly lit up countless torches, at the same time, under the light of the torches here, one by one the Manchu soldiers wearing armor and riding a tall horse, holding a cold long knife in their hands, standing neatly there, in the dark night, they are like a stone sculpture, If it weren't for the occasional low neighing of a few horses, no one would think they were living creatures.
The sudden appearance of the Manchu soldiers of the Eight Banners made Gao Jie and his soldiers all stunned, they never thought that the Manchu soldiers who should be hiding in the barracks now, sleeping soundly, waiting for them to sneak attack, suddenly appeared here, but soon, everyone knew that they were fooled and ambushed, and for a while, many soldiers were full of fear in their hearts.
"My lord, we have been tricked, the dog Tartar has already made a trap, waiting for us to enter, what should we do now." A general beside Gao Jie asked in a low voice.
Hearing the questions of the generals around him, Gao Jie didn't know how to answer, and at this time his heart was also in chaos, and he couldn't imagine that he originally planned to sneak attack the enemy. But he didn't expect that in the end, he became the target of the enemy's sneak attack.
"Hahaha, Gao Jie, you can't think of it, the purpose of this king's plan today is to catch turtles in an urn for you, now it seems. The effect is good, you have also seen the current situation, you have been surrounded by my army, it is impossible to escape, fortunately, this king is also a person who appreciates heroes, and now I give you a way to live, that is, rest assured weapons, surrender to this king. As long as you are willing to surrender to this king, this king will ensure that you will be promoted and rich in the future, and there will be many benefits, but if you don't know the current affairs, don't blame this king for being ruthless. Just when Gao Jie was thinking about how to get out of danger, he saw a Manchu general walk out of the neatly arranged queue of Manchu soldiers in front of them. Gao Jie had not met Azig, but from the words of this general. It can be heard that it is Prince Azig of England.
Although he was surrounded by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Gao Jie was also a little panicked in his heart, but after so many years of fighting, Gao Jie had nothing else, but he was still very bold. Therefore, I saw him smile and said, "Hahahaha, Azig, I didn't expect that grandpa would fall for the trick of your dog Tartar, which is also a long-sighted man." Although now grandpa is surrounded by you, but in the end the deer will die is still an unknown, you don't forget, since I dare to come to Xuzhou to sneak attack, but there is something to rely on, wait for a while, after my army arrives, I'm afraid you should kneel and beg grandpa me. ”
After listening to Gao Jie's words, Azig not only did not change color, but said more proudly, "Hahaha, Gao Jie, aren't you curious, how can this king know that you are fighting Xuzhou's idea, so as to set this trap to lure you into the bait, don't you want to know who betrayed you, hahaha, I'm afraid you won't know about this matter until you die, in addition, this king kindly tells you one thing, your Huaibei City, I'm afraid it has fallen into the hands of others now, and your army has already been disarmed." ”
As soon as Azig's words were said, Gao Jie's face was suddenly shocked, he didn't doubt Azig's words, now he has been surrounded by Azig in this Xuzhou city, whether he can go out is unknown, why should Azig lie and lie to him, since it is not a lie, then thinking of the meaning of Azig's words, Gao Jie's mind instantly appeared a name, "Liu Liangzuo, I don't share the sky with you, if I Gao Jie enters and is lucky enough to escape, I will kill your whole family another day, and the chickens and dogs will not be left." "No wonder Gao Jie thought of Liu Liangzuo, you know, the Manchu Qing are now mainly dealing with the Shaanxi Ming Army, so whether it is the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers in the capital or the Wu Sangui army in Henan, they are all defending or fighting with the Shaanxi Ming Army, and in addition, the Manchu Qing can only fight in the Jianghuai region, and the only 30,000 Eight Banners soldiers led by Azig are the troops that can fight.
Since not to mention the coldness of the Manchu court, then the person who attacked him can only be the closest force to himself, and the closest to Gao Jie Huaibei City is only Liu Liangzuo, who is also the four major warlords, and the reason why Gao Jie is so sure that the attack is other than Liu Liangzuo, the most important thing is that not long ago, Gao Jie once thought of uniting Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing to attack Xuzhou City together, but unfortunately, in the end, in the case of the indifference of the two, Gao Jie also died of this thought, and it was since then, Gao Jie would have come up with such a plan.
Hearing Gao Jie's roar, Azig said excitedly, "Hahahaha, now you have finally figured it out, this king tells you that in addition to Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing has also sent troops, and they are much more knowledgeable than you are about current affairs, not only take the initiative to deliver news to our Qing Dynasty, but also take the initiative to send troops to help us exterminate you stubborn traitors." ”
Azig's words undoubtedly made Gao Jie, who was angry, feel even more angry, and suddenly, Gao Jie, whose lungs were about to explode, did not say a word more, but pulled out the long knife on his waist, shouted angrily, and quickly rushed towards Azig.
"Shoot the Arrow"
With Azig's order, the Manchu soldiers who had been prepared for a long time bent their bows and arrows and shot at Gao Jie and the others.
"Ahh
A scream, accompanied by the scene of soldiers falling off their horses one by one, fortunately, the distance between the two sides is not too far, after a round of arrow rain, Gao Jie and others have rushed into the camp of the Manchu army, but unfortunately, because the streets are narrow, both sides are still cavalry, and they cannot be the same as the field, and they can not fully pick up the station. Instead, it was a tragic war of attrition, after all the soldiers in front fell, the soldiers behind filled in, at this time, no matter how brave you are, whether it is ten enemies. Hundreds of enemies, or even 10,000 enemies, but in the continuous attacks of the enemy, they fell unwillingly in a pool of blood and became one of the countless corpses.
"My lord, my lord, let's find a way to get out of here, so that the green mountains don't have to worry about running out of firewood, as long as we can escape. Today's revenge can always be avenged. "Tea time passed, Gao Jie, who rushed to the front, although he had experienced a hundred battles, but he also suffered a few scars on his body, in this kind of chaotic battle, God is the fairest, whether you are a senior general. Or a recruit, an accident. They can return to the west at any time.
The reason why Gao Jie was able to survive was because of the desperate fighting of the guards around him, otherwise, he would have been the same as the corpse that fell to the ground before, looking at it, with the passage of time. There were fewer and fewer soldiers on their side, but the enemy was getting braver and braver, and some generals finally pulled down Gao Jie, who was rushing to the front.
Gao Jie, who had already fallen into madness, calmed down for a long time and saw the subordinates around him who were all scarred. Gao Jie couldn't help but said with a gloomy expression, "Leave, how easy is it, even if I leave here now, but Huaibei City may have already fallen, where can we go, now Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing The two bastards have secretly surrendered to the dog Tartar, I'm afraid that Huang Degong's bastard will not end well, the Yongli Imperial Court is completely dead, and the dog Tartar will not be too far away when he occupies Jiangnan, we escaped in time today, where can we escape, forget it, since God let me fall to this step of the field, this is fate." , Today is my death, you have not had a few days of good life with me all these years, now I will give you a top, you should leave with the rest of the brothers quickly, it is better to live one than to die. ”
After listening to Gao Jie's words, many generals around him had gloomy expressions on their faces, to be honest, although Gao Jie has no great ability, he still treats his subordinates very well, and these generals around him are mostly his subordinates who were with him when he was in the Dashun Army, and they can bewitch so many people and rebel against Li Zicheng with him, which shows that Gao Jie is still a good person.
"My lord, if you want to go together, don't forget, Mrs. and Xiao Gongzi are still waiting for you to go to the rescue, if you really die here, who else will save them, do you really want to watch that Xiao Gongzi has not been born yet, there is no father, besides, even if we fail today, even if Jiangnan fails, but don't forget, there are still people from the imperial court in Shaanxi, it's a big deal that we go to the Shaanxi imperial court, and even if the imperial court really doesn't reuse us anymore, we don't know Jia Guitian, But at least there is a way to live, it is better than being a slave to a dog Tartar, but I have heard people say that when the Mongols occupied the Central Plains, we Han people were not even as good as pigs and dogs, do you really want to live a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs. Seeing that Gao Jie was already begging for death, a partial general named Fu Zhongyan spoke.
As soon as Fu Zhongyan's words were finished, not only Gao Jie's face changed, but even many generals around him also changed their faces, for Fu Zhongyan's words, they have also heard of it in ordinary times, for these people, born in troubled times, how can it, but no one wants their children and grandchildren to live a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs, you know, for Chinese, the inheritance of the family is a bigger thing than the sky, so as long as it involves the issue of family inheritance, it is an irreconcilable contradiction.
"Okay, since all the brothers have said so, then we will save this rotten life today, and in the future, we must find a dog Tartar to escape back this blood debt, and give the order to all the brothers to retreat." Gao Jie, who had regained his confidence, suddenly clenched the steel knife in his hand and spoke.
Fortunately, the more than 10,000 soldiers brought by Gao Jie are veterans who have fought many battles with him, knowing that when retreating, they can't turn around and run away, so it's not a retreat, but a rout, if it really becomes like that, let alone retreat safely, it is already good not to be wiped out by the enemy.
The only thing that is beneficial to Gao Jie and them is that in order to eliminate Gao Jie's army to the greatest extent, Azig arranged all the soldiers in the city, and there were not many soldiers and horses on the city wall, so at the beginning, Gao Jie had already let his general Zuo Tianqiang control the city gate, and all the gates leading to the outside of the city were still unblocked.
Although the gate is still open, but more than 10,000 people, after half a day of fierce fighting, have lost thousands of people, thousands of people want to squeeze out through the narrow doorway, it is simply impossible, all, not long after Gao Jie and others fought hard, the gate of Xuzhou City was quickly closed.
Standing outside the city, looking at the more than 10,000 troops that came, now there are only less than 3,000, Gao Jie felt a burst of remorse mixed with anger, and in the end, he could only helplessly beat his horse and run into the distance.
When Azig led everyone, and finally strangled all the soldiers on Gao Jie's side in the city, he got the news that Gao Jie had escaped from the city, although there was a trace of regret in his heart, but this look of remorse did not last long, after all, a lost dog who had lost his foundation and strength was no longer in his eyes, and he still had an important thing to do, that is, to take the opportunity to lead the army south, attack Jiangnan, and strive to bring the rich land of Jiangnan into his hands as soon as possible. Only in this way can we avoid another grain shortage similar to this year in the Qing Dynasty.
This is the reason why Azig planned this plan, of course, with Azig's mind and character, this kind of plan is definitely not something he can come up with, but Dolgon after getting the news that Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo and others planned to surrender to Cheng in the past from Azig, and planned it after a period of time with several important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. And this is also the reason why Dolgon told Duoduo when he asked about the battle of Henan, and it was precisely because Duoduo knew about Dorgon's plan that he did not pursue the matter of Henan.
Gao Jie and others who escaped from Xuzhou City by luck, fortunately, met Xing who secretly escaped from Huaibei City on the way. According to Xing's words, not long after Gao Jie led the troops away, the traitors arranged by Liu Liangzuo and others in Huaibei City secretly opened the city gate and let Liu Liangzuo's army enter Huaibei City.
After meeting with the Xing family, Gao Jie led a group of remnants of the defeated generals to take advantage of the middle of the night to escape from afar.
