In the battle ahead, the people in the rear, such as Gu Luge and Hang Gao, looked at it in their eyes, all of them were pale, gritted their teeth and were silent, especially Hang Gao glanced at Gu Luge, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the abolition of the lord in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the Qing court appointed Guluge as the Tumut Left Wing Banner Zasak, and Hanggao as the Right Wing Banner Zasak, and their territory was roughly bounded by the west of the Naturalization City, the Tumut Left Wing Banner to the east to Jining Haizi and other places, and the Tumut Right Wing Banner to the west to Montenegro and other places.

In fact, after Wang Dou issued the proclamation, Hang Gao was inclined to surrender and annex in his heart, and he believed that after the Liaodong War, the Qing State had been greatly damaged and was unable to govern the Guihua City, and the immediate thing was the newly rising Jingbian Army.

Those who know the times are Junjie, and replacing the new master to avoid the disaster of swords and soldiers is a natural thing in Hang Gao's view, and the only rule for the survival of the grassland people.

It's just that Guluge insisted on fighting for the king, and persuaded many tribes such as the Hetao Mongols and the Waizasak Mongols to send troops together to try to resist to the end.

Hang Gao knew that Gu Luge had a very shallow relationship with Manchuria, and Yu Yuetuo even had a cousin, so he wanted to work for the Qing court wholeheartedly.

Just how did it turn out? The army has been lost, Zierharang, Du Du and others have tens of thousands of troops, but they have been standing still in Hongyazi Mountain, and the messengers who asked for help from their side have returned in vain, and the Qing State does not care about their life or death.

From the beginning of the war, to the present, all the tribes have suffered a lot of losses, Hang Gao believes that the Jingbian army is too strong to be invincible, or move away quickly, move west to Hetao, and move north to Mobei. What will happen in the future, and then slowly figure it out.

It was Guluge who strongly opposed it, and strongly advocated cutting off the grain and cutting off the road, and the main force came to attack the "Yuanyang Village", sure enough, this village was not easy to fight, and the soldiers in front suffered heavy casualties, Hang Gao was even more angry, what is Guluge going to do, do you want to wipe out Tumut's family?

Next to the two of them, the faces of those Mongolian princes and ministers of the outer domains were also not good-looking.

At this time, the outer vassal Mongolia was basically based on the Khalkha Three Khans. Tushetu Khan, Chechen Khan, Zasaktu Khan are the mainstays. By the order of Tushetu Khan, King Gunbu and others, these Zasaks were subordinate to the assistant Taiji, Tabu Nang, Guan Qizhangjing, etc. Lead some soldiers and horses of the tribe to help. Together with the naturalized city of Tumert. Resist the king.

Gu Luge said it well, his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, and after Wang Dou captured Monan. Many Khan kings in Mobei, will they be able to run in the future?

It was also these words that moved Gonbu and others.

Although they paid tribute to the Qing State, in fact, the three Khalkha departments only need to sacrifice one white camel and eight white horses every year, which is called the nine white tributes, and the degree of freedom is very large, and it does not matter whether they are loyal to the Qing court or not, and their vital interests are what they care about.

So they decided to support, and the Western Mongols and even the Qinghai Mongols came to support them, and all the Mongols united to resist Wang Dou.

It was only after the war broke out that everyone felt that it was not unreasonable for the Jingbian army to defeat the Qing State in Liaodong, and they did not achieve any goals when they came to it, but only lost their soldiers and horses in vain, which made them look sad and their hearts were like knives.

For Guluge, it was difficult for him to ride a tiger at this time, and if he retreated, all his previous sacrifices would be in vain, and he would definitely be guilty of public anger when he settled the account in the future.

Fortunately, at present, the enemy is outnumbered, and it is only necessary to capture the stockade and destroy the grain and grass of the Jingbian army, and there is still the possibility of victory, after all, there are countless examples of the Han army winning first and then defeating in all dynasties.

Guluge's stubborn insistence, the rest of the Mongols Zasak, Taiji also thought that if they retreated at this time, the previous warriors would die in vain, and even Hang Gao admitted that he could not give up halfway, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

From the beginning of the attack on the village in the morning, until the Shen hour in the afternoon, the Mongolian army launched dozens of attacks on the "Yuanyang Village", but the resistance of the defenders was very tenacious, and the curved structure of the army village also made the attacking side very tired.

This is not only the firepower in front, but also the firepower on the left and right, which always makes people feel that there is no place to be safe, and it is useless to hide behind a shield.

The Mongolian army that especially attacked the south and north of the walled gate, but also had to face the triangular fence in front of the walled gate a hundred paces, and if this point was not removed, there would be birds and 10,000 enemies from behind, which made people miserable, and the watchtowers erected at the four corners of the walled gate were fired from time to time, which also made people unable to guard against it.

The saddest thing is the Mongolian army attacking the east of the village, the wooden house and the fence together form a three-layer firepower, there are bird guns on the head and under the head, there are also bird guns and 10,000 enemies on the left and right, plus the artillery bombards the shotgun from time to time, the Mongolian army attacking this side has suffered heavy casualties, and they are all exhausted.

Shen Shi was on time, the east, south and north sides of "Yuanyangzhai" were already full of corpses, and the corpses of the Mongolian army dyed the grass blood-red, and the blood they flowed out was like a stream, and all kinds of broken wooden shield weapons were scattered everywhere.

Guluge and others roughly estimated that at least more than 1,000 warriors had been killed in the battle, as well as more than 200 war horses.

This is a very staggering number, although the total strength of this side is more than 20,000 people, but for the tribes outside the Saiwai, this loss is already quite heavy, after all, they have few mouths, and the training of warriors is also very difficult.

On the other hand, on the side of the military village, how much did they lose?

The fence is strong, and the bows and arrows are beyond their control, and they hide behind the shooting and shoot calmly, what kind of archery skills do they need to pass through the hole? Even if they wear through, they all have excellent armor, can they cause damage to those Jingbian troops?

If it is diffused, there is a wooden shed behind the fence, although it falls one after another like weeds, can it also cause damage to the defenders?

When the special army was filling in the trenches, it was impossible to even cover them with wooden shields, and the casualty rate was even more alarming, and one by one the warriors fell under their firearms, or were killed by their 10,000 enemies, and were killed by artillery shotguns.

In order to conceal the whereabouts of most of them, Gu Luge and others have killed all the Han people inside and outside the naturalized city, and they can't find the cannon fodder for filling the trenches.

In the end, the besiegers even used some Mongolian women or children to throw earth and fill the trenches, hoping to arouse the compassion of the defenders, but they showed no mercy until they were ruthlessly killed in the trench by fire and artillery.

Before then, the Mongol army attacking the east once filled in a trench and pulled out more than a dozen fence timbers. At that time, the Mongolian army cheered, and a large number of armored soldiers with swords and shields swarmed towards that side, intending to break the gap, and there were rolling cavalry behind them ready to attack at any time.

However, the defenders were not only sharp-armed with firearms, but also fierce with spearmen, who bravely blocked the assault armor, and the dense spears kept them from entering, and at the same time, there were raindrops of thousands of enemies thrown at them, blasting pieces of flesh and blood corpses into the piles of people, and finally they had retreated......

The subordinates were exhausted. Gurug and others were equally anxious. The difficulty of attacking the army and the casualties of his subordinates made the leaders start to quarrel fiercely and complain to each other. Hang Gao no longer hid his resentment towards Guluge. Sneered at him. The princes and ministers of the outer Mongolian vassals also complained about it.

The dejected Guluge finally admitted that this stockade could not be attacked by itself, and the main army could not gather here for a long time. We must leave tonight, otherwise the cavalry of the Jingbian Army's westward expedition will come, or the main force gathered in the sand castle and other places will arrive, and I will not be able to leave.

Before leaving, he rode on his horse and couldn't help but look back at the military village that was slowly falling into the night.

After a day of hard fighting, more than 20,000 people besieged a small village, but the result was that his own side was defeated, with heavy casualties, he muttered, "Didn't you say that every three hundred years is reincarnated?" The Central Plains has declined, why is there still a strong Han army? ”

He walked away uneasy, leaving behind a lot of resentment and confusion.

They were not reconciled, and in the next few days, they attacked several other military villages like lightning, but the lessons of the previous car were only a superficial taste, and when they saw that they were difficult to attack, they left immediately after leaving more than a dozen or dozens of corpses, and refused to be as dead as "Yuanyang Village".

At this time, Guluge finally had the idea of retreating, and the Mongols of the three Khalkha tribes also warmly invited him to his tribe.

Hang Gao knew that it was impossible to surrender at this time, and he also decided to go with Gu Luge to join the Mongolian Tushetu Department of the Outer Domain.

They were planning to go to Mobei, and the news about the Mengqi army continued to gather on Wang Dou's side.

Although they moved quickly, each time they attacked a village, they stayed for only one day, but they still left many traces, and it was only a matter of time before they deduced the location of their nest according to the collection of intelligence from all sides.

……

On the fourth day of the ninth month of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, a group of Jingbian troops did not close at night and traveled through the Guanshan Mountains, and the leading figure was the "drama" of the sentry battalion and the official who did not collect the team at night, and the famous Kong Shijue was.

After the battle of Jinzhou, many people in the sentry camp were promoted, and the same was true of Kong Shijue, on the second day of the first month, he set out from Jining Village, and was ordered to search most of the Tartars, and according to some traces, he had been trekking in Guanshan for several days.

This is already a branch of the eastern foothills of Daqing Mountain, and beyond the mountain, it is a continuous hilly plateau.

In the north and south of the mountain, the Ming Dynasty had set up a number of guards, such as Guanshan, Lost Treasure Chi, Wuhua City, Hulu Hunu, Yanzhi, and Wengjira, but with the gradual southward movement of Mongolian power, these thousands of households also quickly disappeared.

At this time, the "play" was dressed like the brothers next to him, like the herdsmen of the local tribe, with sheepskin coats, tattered and tattered, and wearing fur hats.

However, he still carried his own flintlock and flintlock guns on his saddle, and the other brothers were equipped with different equipment, and this line of ten men was very strong in riding and archery, five of them used foot bows, and several of them used tread crossbows, and each of them had at least three horses.

They rode horses and walked, climbed the hill and looked high, there was no one in the four fields, the sad wind was bleak, this mountain often had no inch of wood, many stone walls, small stones wore big stones, the cascading high and low were like human beings, and the mountains that traveled west were quite different, but it was a common scene in the barren gravel of the adjacent desert.

Every time I ascend, the wind gusts north, and it is quite chilly, and it may not be long before it snows.

The "play" watched the mountain and thought that it would not be long before he could get out of this mountain.

In the afternoon, the group entered a valley, the mountains overlapped, the top was full of stones, there was a spring water under the mountain and a ditch was very clear, there was a lot of grass next to the spring, the deer molted all over the ground, everyone got off the horse to rest, drank the horse by the spring, the drama looked at some traces, and sneered: "Have you seen that this is the trace of most of the cavalry?" ”

A chill appeared on his handsome face: "I'm finally going to find the Tartar Nest, and then we'll see how they die!" ”

All the brothers are also excited, they rest for a quarter of an hour, continue to get on the horse and go north, go forward for more than ten miles, the mountain turns deep, and climb high to see, but it is a reckless plateau, and there is an endless grassland, "Xizi" pointed down the mountain: "Down the mountain, follow the traces, and then turn to the northwest." ”

The group rode their horses again at night, and when they turned around a foothill, they saw a valley below, the slope was quite gentle, and there was still a gurgling spring.

At this moment, the smoke and dust billowed from the northwest, and there was a faint shouting and scolding, as if there was a ride running this way.

"Xizi" immediately ordered to hide, he took out the clairvoyant mirror to look at the movement, and after a long time, he put down the clairvoyant mirror: "It's the brother of the Intelligence Division, and the five Tartars are chasing...... They're coming this way...... Ambush! ”

Immediately, the group quietly hidden, one by one, they either took out a strong bow in their hands, or took out a strong crossbow, took out the poisoned arrow from the crossbow box, and wound it, without making a sound, just watching the movement of that side.

The sound of the horse's hooves getting closer and closer, and the "Xizi" and others could easily see that a horse in front was running desperately, and he was lying on his horse tightly, as if he was injured, and there were five horsemen chasing after him, and while chasing, he kept bending his bow and arrows to shoot at the person in front.

The closer they got, the people entered the valley, and when the man in front of them rushed through, the "drama" shouted: "Shoot!" ”

There were a few whoosh sounds, and the two Tartars in front of them screamed miserably, and they fell off their horses one by one, but they were shot in the body by the crossbow.

The three people in the rear reacted quickly, and immediately wanted to pull out the horse and turn around, and there was a swishing arrow, and a strong rain of arrows came, and two more shouted to carry off the horse, and the last man was hit by an arrow, and he jumped up with agility, and only ran two steps, and a sharp arrow knocked him diagonally to the ground.

"Xizi" and the others went below, several Tartars, most of them were twitching and struggling, and the two even struggled to stand up, and the two soldiers who did not accept it at night pulled out their waist knives with a choking sound and stabbed them straight into the heart.

A Tartar soldier at his feet, an arrow was shot by a crossbow in the chest, he looked at the "play" with sloppy eyes, showing a pleading look, the "play" looked at him, slowly pulled out his own sword, stabbed him in the throat, and then pulled it out, a stream of blood arrows spurted out, and the Tartar died so much that he could not die again.

The expression of the "drama" remained unchanged, and he didn't accept it all night, and said in a low voice: "Master Kong, come here......"

Kong Shijue nodded, and came to the side of a mountain rock, the previous man had been helped off the horse, leaning back and just panting.

Looking at his injuries again, everyone was secretly frightened, not only was he shot an arrow in the back of the heart, but he also had many scars on his body, and he lost too much blood, and it seemed that he could not survive.

I don't know what belief makes him stick to it.

This man looked at the people who were not gathered around him in the night, and saw their concerned expressions, and tears flowed down his eyes.

He struggled into his arms, took out a wax pill and handed it to Kong Shijue, and said intermittently: "The intelligence department's Beiyu Branch Sentinel Sergeant Guo ...... Guo Fusheng was ordered to infiltrate the sentry ...... There's a Tartar nest in there...... Definitely, by all ......"

He grabbed Kong Shijue's hand violently: "...... Be sure to pass it back ......."

Kong Shijue's eyes turned red, and he shook his hand hard: "Brother Guo, don't worry, I will definitely pass the information back." ”

Guo Fusheng muttered, "That's good...... That's good......"

Seeing that he was dying, Kong Shijue said tentatively: "Brother Guo...... Is there anything else you would like to say? ”

Guo Fusheng's voice lowered: "Yes, I have a lot to say......"

Kong Shijue waited quietly for him to speak, but at some point, Guo Fusheng had already swallowed his breath. (To be continued.) )
