Chapter 102: Azig

Yibai, the owner of the white flag, was heartbroken, he never thought that the elite vest of Jianzhou would also be chased by the Ming army one day, and it was so embarrassed to be chased by the infantry of the Ming army......

The Thunder Brigade took the Zhaolong Chasseur Team as the leader, and after they dragged a rout, the arquebus battalion and the Liaodong battalion followed up and surrounded and annihilated, and the vests that were fighting with the Ming army with Yu Yong collapsed faster under the repeated blows of the row of guns, this cavalry only hated that the father and mother had two legs less, and they ran wildly in a swarm, even Yibai couldn't retract it, and even Yibai himself ran all the way north under the siege of the defeated soldiers, and fled to Jinzhou City to meet the two thousand soldiers and horses besieging the city. He retreated twenty miles to the north, and then he settled down.

The Thunder Brigade dispatched two battalions to chase and kill for five miles before giving up the pursuit, and the horses could not catch up with them on two legs alone after they ran, and the rear army still had artillery battalions and logistics to protect, and it was already remarkable that the infantry could achieve this result against the cavalry.

On the battlefield of Guanjiabao, the military discipline officer and the Teaching Department were counting the results, Yang Bo stood on a high place with his hands in contemplation, the cold wind blew the wool cloak he was wearing on his body, many soldiers looked at him with reverence, and lowered their heads and were busy, in addition to the Tartar slaves who killed the artillery fire, there were many wounded who were lying on the battlefield and howled miserably, and none of them ran, and they didn't care about these wounded after the white flag light cavalry rout, there is no doubt that the heads of these people will eventually become the results of the Thunder Brigade, A few old bandits from the camp were maliciously urging a wounded Tartar with a broken leg to crawl quickly, and from time to time someone poked his wound with the tip of a knife, and the wounded man's face was full of snot and tears. Crying out for something in words they didn't understand, he couldn't help screaming loudly after being poked in the wound by the tip of the Ming army's knife, and continued to crawl forward with difficulty. Leave a bloody path under your body.

"What is this dog Tartar talking about?" Wu Zhongcun, the officer of the third platoon B of the spear barracks, tilted his head and asked Bai Siwen, a fellow villager from Liaodong in the team

"Say what? Please, let's not kill him! Bai Swen spat hard in the direction of the tartar, his face full of disdain.

Wu Zhongcun nodded, Bai Siwen's entire family died at the hands of the Tartar slaves, and he was once taken captive to Liaodong for two years as a wrapper, and he has always had a monstrous hatred for the Tartars, so naturally he has no good face.

"It's just a knife to kill, it's not good to tease like this!" Wu Zhongcun finally said what was in his heart. He is simple by nature, and he can't see it.

Bai Siwen stood straight with a spear in his hand, and after he heard the words of the team officer, he snorted, "Wu Tou'er, you are from Dengzhou." Naturally, I don't know the hard life of our Liaodong people, you can't see it if you poke the wound a few times, what kind of cruel law was it when those Tartars caught the Liao people who dared to resist? Scalping, pouring mercury. Dismemberment. Feed the dog...... Wu Tou, back then, I saw the twelve-year-old daughter of the He Mu family in the same village being tossed by these Tartars for three days, and when they were finally buried, they couldn't see the human form, and the evil things that the Tartars did were only something you can't think of, and there is nothing they can't do."

Wu Zhongcun was silent, but his eyes were still staring at the miserable howling Tartar wounded, although the wounded man had a broken leg, but he refused to die or die under the torture of several old bandits in the sin military camp. The vitality is tenacious, just to see the way he looks. Wu Zhongcun was unhappy in his heart.

Wu Zhongcun suddenly put down the spear in his hand and drew the knife behind his back.

Bai Siwen was startled, and hurriedly pulled his hand secretly: "Wu Tou, you will kill your head if you leave your post without permission!" ”

The battalions of the Thunder Brigade were not allowed to clean up the battlefield on their own unless assigned, and the two battalions pursued the router, and the pikemen battalion took on the task of guarding and protecting the logistics of the artillery corps against the Tarslav raid.

Wu Zhongcun lifted Bai Siwen's hand, ran to the wounded man with a sharp knife, squeezed away a few soldiers from the criminal camp, and chopped off the wounded's head with one sword!

Soon, Wu Zhongcun was taken away for questioning by the people from the Military Discipline Department who rushed to hear the news, and finally the punishment decision came out, Wu Zhongcun left his post without permission and should be beheaded according to the law, but in view of the extenuating circumstances, he was exempted from the capital crime and demoted to a soldier......

The Thunder Brigade has strict discipline, and there are strict regulations on all kinds of regulations on the battlefield, such as leaving the post without permission according to military regulations is to kill the head, fortunately, after hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Zhang Shixiong was exempted from the crime of beheading, but Wu Zhongcun's position as an officer was not kept in the end, such a verdict made Bai Siwen and others indignant, because none of those people in the criminal camp were punished, it turned out that the military regulations of the Thunder Brigade were very detailed, but there was no provision for what the crime of torturing the Tartars was, in this case, although Zhang Shixiong did not like Wu Zhongcun's soft-heartedness, But he decided to find an opportunity to discuss it with the adults.

Yang Bo didn't know about these episodes on the battlefield, he was listening to Cui Yong's inventory report on the results of the battle, a total of more than 700 heads, of which the white pendulum Yala was almost wiped out, which was a very huge blow to the fifteen positive white flag Niu Lu led by Azig, in addition to the human head, the biggest gain was the blades and armor of the armor soldiers, many white pendulum Yala were covered with double heavy armor, even the light armored cavalry also wore cotton armor inlaid with iron leaves, more than 700 first level iron armor alone is more than 1,000 pairs, these iron armor can be distributed to auxiliary equipment first, After Jinzhou is pacified, it will be repaired again, and the other is the war horses, there are more than two hundred of these intact war horses, Zhao Long and they are estimated to be able to bring a batch when they come back, and with the war horses, it is not a problem to form a cavalry battalion or a motorized infantry battalion.

The weather is cold, and those dead horses can't be discarded, and the horse meat can also be used as food after being cut and salted, because Yang Bo threw away most of the logistics, so this batch of meat just made up for the shortfall, with a large amount of meat, plus a small amount of food, at least there is no problem in holding on to Jinzhou until the arrival of the baggage team.

On the battlefield, the relaxed soldiers gathered together in twos and threes, they talked and laughed loudly around the fire, boasting to each other about their merits, and the people of the medical departments of each battalion were busy treating the wounded, although the firearms were fierce, but there were more than 100 casualties, and the rate of seriously wounded after increasing head protection was greatly reduced, but casualties were still unavoidable.

The pikemen battalion watched vigilantly with their weapons in hand, and all the auxiliaries were mobilized, some disposing of the corpses, all the Tartar corpses stripped to the side, others being pickled in the heat of cutting horse meat. Some soldiers struggled to carry large chunks of fresh horse meat onto the carts.

After a while, Zhao Long sent someone to report that the arquebus battalion and the Liaodong battalion had completely defeated the Tarslaves. While waiting five miles away from here, Yang Bo waved his hand, and the whole army opened up to catch up with the front army, and tonight they could reach Jinzhou, although the Thunder Brigade defeated the Tarnu advance in a battle, but the next battle was the key and the hardest.

There are sentinels to explore the road along the way, and the Thunder Brigade does not have to march in strict formation. However, the pikemen battalion and the sin battalion were placed on both sides, and in the middle was the artillery team of the Chinese army, even if it encountered the enemy. Several columns can also quickly form a formation, and in combination with the situation in all aspects, the Tartar slaves are already frightened, and it is unlikely that they will come to provoke the tiger's whiskers again.

In Jinzhou, Liu Dahu looked at the black Tatar cavalry under the city wall. My heart was full of melancholy......

In Jinzhou City, when Zhao Long and they were transferred, there were only 300 soldiers left. There were 200 auxiliaries, only 500 people, and the garrison on each wall could only send more than 100 people.

The lord once said that as long as the Tatar slaves came, he would definitely lead the army to rescue Jinzhou, but Liu Dahu didn't expect the Tatar cavalry to come so quickly. It was only here that the news of the Tatar army was received, and the Tatar advance there had already surrounded Jinzhou in a big way. The trenches and piers, which had been pinned on high hopes, immediately lost their effect after the cavalry detour......

Liu Dahu looked at the dense cavalry under the city, his heart was a little numb, a huge golden dragon flag of the Tatar slave army flew in the wind, obviously there was a general in the Tatar slave command, Liu Dahu was not worried that these cavalry dared to attack the city, the staff department had long analyzed, these cavalry tasks were just to cut off the connection between Jinzhou and Lushun, and wait for the arrival of the rear army infantry, at that time, he could hold out for a few days under the fierce attack of the Tatars?

"Will your grown-ups come?" Liu Dahu turned his head and looked at the several company platoon commanders who were clustered around him, these were the backbones who were transferred to defend Jinzhou with Liu Dahu.

Liu Dahu nodded: "Don't worry, the adults have already made a decision, Zhao Long and they have already sent the news back, it will only take two days, no, I think it will only take one day, and the adults will arrive." ”

A company commander asked with some hesitation: "However, but there are thousands of Tarsan cavalry, I am afraid that they will not dare to fight with the adults, but they will be entangled in the Thunder Brigade, which will slow down the march of the Thunder Brigade. ”

Liu Dahu glanced at the company commander with disdain, and reprimanded: "Fart, you don't know where you are when Lao Tzu followed the adults to conquer the south and the north, the adults Wuqu Xing went down to earth, if you can't even count as a Tartar slave?" ”

The company commander muttered, "I'm also getting old from fighting with adults, but I'm just a little worried."

Liu Dahu scolded: "If you are worried about yourself, put it in your heart, and say it to shake Lao Tzu's military heart, Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu ......"

Seeing Liu Dahu looking at him, the chief officer of the Military Discipline Department smiled slightly, but did not say anything.

At this moment, the Tarnu cavalry under the city suddenly moved, first surrounded the west gate and the south gate of the cavalry began to turn their horses' heads towards the direction of Lushun one after another, followed by the golden dragon banner also left under the dense cavalry, the soldiers and horses under the city of Jinzhou at least half of the walk, leaving only more than 2,000 horsemen to continue to surround and guard.

"Your Excellency is here! Adults have come to the rescue of Golden State! Liu Dahu looked at the stunned crowd and said loudly.

"Could it be that the Tartars went to clean up the Duntai Tunbao behind Jinzhou? It is impossible for adults to move so fast after receiving Zhao Long's warning, right? The crowd couldn't believe it.

"Anyway, Lao Tzu won't be wrong, you people believe it or not, wait and see" Liu Dahu snorted, turned around and walked towards Nancheng.

Three hours later, the drum noise above the city was loud, and Liu Dahu didn't even have time to put on his helmet before he hurriedly ran up to the city with everyone, and the scene under the city stunned them......

Countless cavalry from the south rolled in, the momentum was amazing, Liu Dahu quickly picked up the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it carefully for a while, and after a while, he laughed and said, "My lord is really here!" ”

Everyone was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly took the clairglass to check, sure enough, these cavalry were all grizzled, and there were many bloodstains, and there was no order between the marches, and they carefully distinguished that they were completely fighting for their lives, and even the golden dragon flag was dragged on the ground, obviously, this was a rout.

"What's going on? Were these Tartars defeated? ”

"Could it be that reinforcements are coming?"

Liu Dahu couldn't hide his joy on his face, and said loudly: "Lao Tzu told you that you still don't believe it, take a look." Besides adults, who else defeated thousands of Tatar cavalry so quickly? ”

"Your Excellency has arrived! Adults have arrived! ”

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! ”

The crowd could no longer suppress the joy in their hearts, and the city was full of jubilation.

The rout joined up with the cavalry under the city and stayed for a moment. Soon, the horn of the Tatar camp sounded, and all the cavalry turned their horses and began to retreat in the direction of Fuzhou, and within an hour, thousands of Tatar cavalry under the city of Jinzhou retreated cleanly......

Liu Dahu didn't dare to send someone out of the city to investigate, just looked south and waited, but didn't see the adult's soldiers and horses with his own eyes. After all, these people are a little uneasy in their hearts.

Two hours later, it was already getting dark, and a sharp-eyed sergeant suddenly pointed to the distance and cheered: "Flag of the guerrilla battalion!" The banner of adults. Adults are coming, adults they are here! ”

The crowd looked anxiously, and sure enough, with the help of the last rays of light, they saw the horizon in the distance. Countless flags suddenly poked out. The big flag in front of them is really something they have seen countless times.

Liu Dahu was not at ease, he looked at it again with a clairvoyant mirror, and when he saw a few vague fonts of "Lushun Guerrilla", he finally couldn't help but burst into tears, and muttered: "My lord is concerned about me in my heart, and I am willing to take risks and personally lead the army to rescue, my lord." Adults came so fast."

Everyone was grateful, and they didn't know what to say. Lushun is one hundred and fifty miles away from Jinzhou, and it took less than two days for the adults to rush to the city of Jinzhou, during which there was a big battle with the Tatar cavalry......

Several phalanxes walked over with neat steps, this kind of field march can still be kept so neat, who else will there be in this big tomorrow except for the Thunder Brigade?

Everyone knew that the adults must have defeated the encircled cavalry before they could swagger to the foot of Jinzhou City, but they never imagined that the capture of the Thunder Brigade would be so rich, the iron armor on the carriages was piled up, and several trailers were full of Tartar heads, as well as the bloody horse meat in the cart, and what surprised them even more was that Zhao Long and their war horses were led by several ownerless war horses behind each of them, and they greeted the cheering crowd at the head of the city triumphantly.

That night, when the aroma of stewed horse meat in a large pot was wafting everywhere in Jinzhou City, outside Yulinbao, which was fifty miles away from Fuzhou, there were dense Qing army camp tents everywhere, and the flags of various cattle were fluttering everywhere.

In the camp, an extraordinarily large tent was wrapped in the middle, several gold-inlaid dragon flags stood around, and the twenty-nine-year-old white flag Bel Azig sat in a large tent, surrounded by the elite guards of the burly Bayala battalion.

Azig, the twelfth son of Nurhachi, brave and good at fighting, was originally awarded Taiji, the Mandate of Heaven for ten years, followed the Mang Gurtai to conquer the Chahar Department, broke it, chased to Guanta, the eleventh year of the Mandate of Heaven, cooperated with Taiji Yuetuo to conquer the Gollu Balin Department, and followed the Daishan to conquer the Zalut Department, and won many military exploits, and was awarded Baylor for his merits.

In the second year of Tiancong, he was cut off by Huang Taiji on the grounds of presiding over his brother Duoduo's marriage without authorization.

In the third year, Tiancong cooperated with Jierharang to attack Ming, Kelongjing Pass, and then Hanerzhuang City, Hongshankou, marched to Zunhua, killed Zhao Shujiao, the general soldier of the Ming army, approached the Beijing Division, and cooperated with Abatai to attack Tongzhou, transferred to Jizhou, and Daishan broke into the enemy formation, and broke through the Shanhaiguan reinforcements.

In the fourth year of Tiancong, he attacked Ming with the army, and cooperated with Jierharang to attack Jinzhou, Guangning, etc., and the Ming army raided at night, but because Azig had already prepared, he captured a member of the deputy general, and there were countless armor and weapons battles.

In the Battle of the Daling River, Azig defeated tens of thousands of rescue soldiers and horses of Zhang Chunbu, the Ming State's supervising army, intercepted and killed most of the Ming army, and expelled forty miles to the north......

It can be said that although the twelve Baylors are arrogant and domineering, these feats are really not a little water, although Huang Taiji tried his best to toss the two white flags, and even divided the positive white flag into two, he and Dolgon each led fifteen Niu Lu, but he led the fifteen Niu Lu to make a contribution, no less than half a point than other Baylor, Huang Taiji tried his best, the two white flags are still strong, relying on the strong support of the old people in these flags.

However, Azig now has a headache, kneeling in the tent is the white flag owner Ibai, this old Khan has been loyal to assist his house slave since the beginning of the era, he doesn't know what to do, there are more than 30 bloody human heads hanging on the flagpole outside the tent, that is the head of Niu Lu and Zhang Jing who escaped back, but he really can't do anything about Ibai.

On the 18th, the Yangwei general Haoge led the Zhenglan Banner all the way to break through, beating Shen Shikui, the general of the Dongjiang River, to a lack of foothold, and recovering Phoenix all the way. Uiju, Tiesan, I heard that negotiations are underway with the Li Dynasty. After receiving the support of warships and food, they can land on Phi Island and fight the rest of the Dongjiang River to the death.

The left road Yue Tuo Department is also progressing smoothly, all the way to conquer the city, has now reached the Xiuyan area, all the coastal Ming army fortresses have been destroyed, the islands of the Dongjiang River do not dare to face the battle, and the island of Guiyu is in panic all day. I heard that the forward attack was swift, and thousands of soldiers and civilians from Shicheng Island who went ashore to collect medicine were captured.

Even Dolgon in Fuzhou has recovered the two islands of Lianyun and Changsheng, just waiting for the coastal ice to be solid. Then the army can be exhausted, flanking Jinzhou and besieging Lushun.

The army is familiar with the road, and only the soldiers who lose their own way will be generals. Five thousand elite vests lost more than one thousand in the field. Strictly speaking, this is an unprecedented defeat since Lao Khan's army, the Bayala battalion was completely annihilated, and the three thousand horse armors were defeated by the five thousand infantry troops in the field battle, and they were even chased for five miles!

Seeing the panicked appearance of these defeated soldiers, Azig knew that these vests had been destroyed, and the seeds of cowardice and fear had been planted in their hearts. What is the use of a soldier who has no fighting spirit? Azig did not even dare to accept these routs, so they were left to the left of Yulin Fort and left a single battalion. What I am afraid of is that these defeated soldiers will deal a serious blow to the strong morale in the banner.

Azig jumped like thunder and whipped those Niu Lu Zhangjing, and then the remaining anger did not subside, and he ordered all of them to be dragged out and beheaded to show the public, and his heart calmed down a little.

"Yibai, you have really disgraced my face with a white flag, such a fiasco, how can I explain to the Great Khan?" Azig asked angrily, thinking of the disdainful eyes of Huang Taiji's father and son in the future, Azig couldn't wait to dig a hole in the ground on the spot.

Hearing the master's reprimand, Ibai Muran raised his head, but he didn't know how to justify.

"You led 3,000 vests, but you were defeated by 5,000 infantry of the Ming Kingdom, and you sent more than 1,000 heads of Han dogs, and you don't know how much you lost along the way, how can you still have the face to come back alive?" Azig was even more furious when he saw Ibai's silence.

"Drag it out, slash!" Azig originally had the intention of sparing him to die, and what he lost by killing Yibai was the strength in his banner, but now that he saw that all of Ibai's spirit and spirit had collapsed, and he could no longer see a trace of his original courage and good fighting, it was useless to leave him, so he abandoned it without hesitation.

"That Ming army is scheming, and the firearms are fierce, please be careful!" Hearing the beheading, before being dragged out by the white tooth horn, Ibai finally let out a cry.

Until Ibai's cry could no longer be heard, and the people in the tent were still silent, although they tried to dissuade them, but the master was hot-tempered, and he would draw his sword and kill people if he disagreed, how could he listen to them?

Everyone guessed wrong this time, although Azig is domineering by nature, but he has always been careful in battle, he got up from the chair covered in bear skin, walked a few steps in the big tent, and asked: "Let's talk about it, this Ming army has sharp weapons, and it has entered the city of Jinzhou, how can we fight?" ”

Everyone was uneasy, just now Azig asked carefully, from the Ming army's equipment, formations, firearms, marching speed, etc., they also heard more and more frightened, this Ming army is definitely not easy to mess with, even more fierce than the Zhejiang soldiers of the Ming Kingdom, everyone dare not say not to fight, they all look at Azig with their eyes, waiting for him to decide.

Engetu, the owner of the Red Banner Banner, coughed lightly and said: "Rao Yu Baylor, Yang Bo's department has defeated my soldiers and horses twice, if this person is not removed, I am afraid that it will become a disaster for my Qing Dynasty in the future."

Azig said hatefully: "Yibai, that idiot, five thousand soldiers and horses did not drag Yang Bo's troops into Jinzhou, if it is attacked now, Jinzhou City is high and dangerous, and it will be lost, if you besiege Jinzhou, I am afraid that it will not be effective in two months, unless it is ......"

Engtu waited for a long time, but Azig had no answer, so he asked, "Unless what?" ”

Azig said: "Unless Yang Bo's subordinates are willing to go out of the city to fight with me, there is a way now, it depends on whether you are willing or not."

Engetu was a little surprised and asked, "It's good to ask Baylor to say it clearly."

On December 26, the Haoge Department of the Zhenglan Banner was stationed in Tieshan, the Red Banner Yuetuo was stationed in Xiuyan, and the Zhengbai Banner Azig led 18,000 cavalry to besiege Jinzhou......

At the head of the north gate of Jinzhou, Yang Bo led a group of generals to observe the dense Tartars outside the city, to their surprise, Azig led the troops to besiege for three days, but there was no action to attack the city, today the Tartars finally moved, but the strange thing is that the Tartars pushed many captives dressed as Han people to walk three hundred steps outside the city and stopped, and there was a cry under the north gate.

The Houjin Tartars pushed the Han people to the edge of the moat, and after a gong sounded, the headless corpses of the Han people fell, and the Houjin Tartars slowly retreated...... (To be continued......)
