Chapter 69: The Captive

In order to prevent accidents, Yang Bo issued an order that night, two battalions of the Panshi Brigade were stationed at Yangguanbao, the Iron Fist Brigade was stationed in Fuzhou, and the sentinel cavalry was placed ten miles away. The whole army took turns to rest and eat, and after the commanders of each battalion settled their own affairs, they successively gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the central military headquarters was set up in the big tent of the former Azig, and they had to participate in the summary of the battle presided over by Yang Bo and the summary of the intelligence of the various departments, as well as the next strategic preparations......

Nanxinkou, the ferry on the flat-bottomed boats come and go, unload all kinds of baggage, and the remains of the soldiers who need to be transported, the seized materials and so on are hoisted onto the ship, Zhang Fengjin of the Tun Affairs Department has led a group of people to survey the terrain near Yangguanbao, and build a brick kiln overnight and other preliminary work.

Yang Bo was in a good mood, the battle went smoothly, not only surrounded and annihilated the Azig troops, but also dealt a heavy blow to the Han army banner, and the entire Tartars of the Southern Fourth Guard were terrified, and the next step to discuss was how to consolidate the achievements that had been achieved by attacking instead of defending.

"The plan of the staff is that the whole army will rest for two days, the Panshi Brigade will be stationed in Fuzhou, and the Iron Fist Brigade will go north to recover Yongningjian, Fifty Miles, Yulinpu and other tunbao along the way, and the current sentry cavalry is flying, obviously the Tartars of Tunbao along the way in this area have received the news that Fuzhou has been conquered, and more than 2,000 vests originally assembled began to shrink backwards, and there are signs of returning to defend Gaizhou, and the Iron Fist Brigade will not be sniped too much along the way, the only thing that needs to be paid attention to is Yulinpu, this Tunpu is the closest military tun to Gaizhou, and the Tartars have been repaired several times one after another, which can be regarded as strong, The General Staff Division planned to use three battalions to attack the fortified positions, and the rest to cut off the connection between Yulin and Gaizhou north of Yulin. Gaizhou Abatai is the seventh son of the old slave, and because he was born to a side concubine, he has never been welcomed. We have often heard that this person has the courage and no strategy, but now there is the courage and no strategy to the disadvantage of us, if Abatai recklessly rises troops and horses to rescue Yulinpu, the casualties of the battalions we are responsible for sending reinforcements will definitely increase. ”

Under Liu Bingwen's instructions, the clerk of the Intelligence Department took out a file and introduced it to everyone: "Aixin Jueluo. Abatai, the seventh son of Nurhachi, in the 39th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Abatai and Fei Yingdong and An Feiyanggu led their divisions to crusade against Wuerguchen and Muling Erlu, the East China Sea Woji Division. More than 1,000 people were captured. In the eighth year of the Mandate of Heaven, together with Taijidege and others, he crusaded against the Zalu Special Department, crossed the Liao River, and attacked the Minister of Zalut, Ang'an. After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, Dolgon, Duoshi, Haoge, Yue Tuo and others were all promoted to princes. Even Azig was named the king of the county, and only Abatai was named Baylor, and the meaning of discrimination was particularly obvious. Ordered him to take charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Works. Abatai led six inlaid yellow flag bulls, which were originally changed from the white flag bulls, and these five bulls were Abatai's own bulls, and their combat power was not strong compared to the eight banners. ”

Wang Xiaoyu glanced at the contemplative crowd and said: "Yulinpu originally garrisoned more than 500 people, but the garrison of Tunbao south of Yulinpu is shrinking and retreating, and now Yulinbao is estimated that the defenders have exceeded 1,000, plus five Niu Lu with yellow flags in Gaizhou Abatai, and two Niu Lu from Beiyu. There is also the threat of garrisons in the Haizhou area, and our strength to besiege Gaizhou is not enough. Another point is that the whole brigade can prepare dry rations for 10 days, but after 10 days, it will have to rely on transportation, and the logistics line from Fuzhou to Yulinpu is too long."

Yang Bo waved his hand and said: "The siege of Gaizhou is to make a show, but the nail of Yulinbao must be overcome, and after conquering Yulinpu, we can attack and retreat and defend, the Iron Fist Brigade coerced Gaizhou, and sent a cavalry battalion to bypass Gaizhou and attack Tuntian, this battle is limited to ten days, don't be anxious to deal with the Tartars, can we come again next time?" ”

Hu Mazi laughed: "My lord, why don't you expand the number of battalions?" In this way, our battalions can take turns to besiege Gaizhou, how nice?"

The other commanders made a lot of noise, they all thought about it after hearing that the cavalry battalion was going to be expanded, but they didn't say it as directly as Hu Mazi.

Yang Bo scolded with a smile: "Expansion of the establishment? What is the use of equipment, training, morale, culture, etc., if you can't keep up, just expand the number of people? You should put more attention on these aspects, prepare for the expansion, and talk about it when the Rock Brigade is fully equipped. ”

Yang Bo asked Liu Bingwen again: "Where are the various departments of the Dongjiang River?" ”

Liu Bingwen stood up and walked to the map and said: "According to the time, the sentry has been in contact with the two roads, but the latest information has not yet come back, at present, Shang Kexi is marching into Phoenix City, and Tan Yinghua's department is going to Changdian Fort, with them taking the lead, the islands of the Dongjiang River such as Zhangzi Island, the Big and Small Changsheng Island, Shicheng Island and other Dongjiang roads have landed one after another, they swept the Tunbao along the way, destroyed the Tartars' tuntian, robbed property and population, they did these things handy......"

There was a light laugh at the venue, and Liu Bingwen said: "But the blow to the Tartars is huge, and the tragedy of starving people in Liaodong will be repeated this winter, and Huang Taiji is afraid that he will hesitate, Liaonan has lost so many food, materials and population, and he will definitely die if he doesn't come back from the Xuanda robbery, but if he wants to continue to stay in Xuanda, the loss here will be even greater, and it will be difficult to ride a tiger?" ”

At this moment, the legend of Qinweitong was that there was a cavalry battalion Zhao Long who reported urgently, and Tangma brought good news that Azig was caught!

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and a sound of inhalation sounded in the venue, and at the same time, many people began to envy Zhao Long, and this credit was great!

Originally, Zhao Long's qualifications were relatively shallow, and he was not convinced by everyone, but with this credit, all the officers present had to admit that Zhao Long's cavalry battalion had become the most powerful battalion leader of the Iron Fist Brigade.

"Let's go, let's go and see!" Yang Bo saw that everyone's minds were not on the discussion, so he waved his hand to end the meeting, and his heart was also trembling, capturing a former county king, Baylor, and now Beizi, what does this mean? It means that his political prestige will reach a new level, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, who else can cover up the credit?

Fuzhou Beicheng was wide open, Zhao Longtoe rode on a high-headed horse, there was a person with five flowers tied in front of the saddle, and even his mouth was blocked, and the cavalry behind was waiting for the suspension bridge to be put on the road, while shouting to the city: "We have caught Azig!" We've got Azig! ”

The city was crowded with soldiers who rushed to hear the news, and before each battle, there would be a pre-battle briefing at the company and platoon level, and these ordinary soldiers would have their own tasks and the number of enemies. Equipment, as big as the enemy's commander-in-chief, as small as the allocation of the leader. Hearing that the brothers of the cavalry battalion had captured the main general, Azig, the soldiers roared with joy and shouted towards the city.

The cavalrymen were still holding several ropes, and as their mounts spread their hooves, the captives stumbled and ran with them like rolling gourds, and they could no longer see the swagger and ferocity of their faces.

See the cavalry entering the city. Those soldiers crowded the north gate, and Zhao Long jumped off his horse, holding the reins in one hand. Holding a golden helmet with the hilt of a sword in one hand, it was showing off triumphantly, and the attention of the soldiers was attracted by the man on horseback, and someone wanted to lift his head to take a look. was immediately stopped by a few thick-waisted and round-shouldered men in the back. These people carried flintlock pistols and crossbows on their backs, short guns stuck in their waists, daggers in their ankles, and even more terrifying on the horses behind them, carrying many bloody heads. Even digging on the ground and looking up.

"This guy is Azig with a white flag?" Many of the soldiers were disappointed

Zhao Long was furious and yelled at these people: "Get out of the way." Lao Tzu is not blind? Will you still recognize the wrong person? Look at the captives in the back, one Gushan Ezhen, two Niu Lu Zhangjing, and then look at this golden helmet and dragon flag? ”

Those soldiers were suspicious, all thunderous, many people behind squeezed in, trying to pull the enemy general, soon, the deputy chief of military discipline of the Thunder Division Liang Bixing with many people to greet him, the military discipline officer drove the soldiers away, led Zhao Long and they placed prisoners, Zhao Long and two soldiers carried the unconscious man down, said: "This guy cat can't pretend to be dead in a cave, and as a result, we are annoyed, the brothers fired two guns, hit him in the leg, and quickly let the people of the Healer Division stop the bleeding." ”

Liang Bicheng was speechless, this Zhao Long is too reckless, isn't this the chief general of the Tartars? Just fire directly?

Liang Bicheng took a moment and whispered, "It won't be wrong, right?" Is it really Azig? I'm going to come and check it out in a moment. ”

Zhao Long said with a smile: "Isn't it okay for your military discipline secretary to mention a few cattle records and assign them to recognize people?" I, Zhao Long, have ten dares and don't dare to deceive adults, and take the lead in the army? ”

Liang Bicheng laughed and commanded everyone to settle down first.

After a while, the entire Fuzhou city was spread, and after the military discipline department confirmed that the prisoner was indeed Azig, there was no doubt that after hearing the news, all the soldiers cheered in unison, this battle can be said to have completely defeated the Fuzhou Tatars, and even the main general was captured.

Gaizhou, was considered by the Ming army to have a brave and unscrupulous Abatai convened his henchmen to discuss, they received Fuzhou's request for help and immediately organized fifty miles of post, Yulinpu and other places of the vest, rushed to rescue Fuzhou, did not expect to arrive at Yongning Jian came to shock the news, Fuzhou fell, Azig's whereabouts are unknown, Wuzhen Hachao was wiped out, Han Army Banner Kong Youde and others are missing, some say that they died in battle, and some say that they surrendered to the Ming army, Abatai was shocked and immediately reported to Prince Zheng of Shenyang, while sending a Niu Lu to Yongning Prison, Organize defense and collect the rout, Abatai also knew that those soldiers and horses could not stop the Ming army, so he let the vest slowly retreat and retreat to the area of Yulinpu, although Abatai was heartbroken for those tuntian, but he could only collect some immature grain and grass to feed the horses, which was better than being burned by the Ming army.

Abatai has six of his own cattle records, two Tumut cattle records, and one of the cattle records at the moment said: "Master, there are not many bannermen who have fled back from Fuzhou, and the minions see that these people are all gone, and they have no fighting spirit, these minions think it is better to deal with them alone, or it will be a blow to the morale of our flag." ”

Abatai nodded and said: "That's right, these people sent people to be detained and sent to Shenyang, alas, who would have thought that the brave and warlike Zhengbai Banner would lose most of its weight in Fuzhou?" ”

There was a dead silence in the venue, everyone bowed their heads and was silent, if it was put on weekdays, they would only have a disaster in their hearts, their master, Rao Yu Bel Abatai suffered the insults of the banners, even their minions could not stand upright, if it were not for the Ming army to pull out the army to the north to attack Gaizhou.

At the next time, Niu Lu said with a sad face: "Master, Prince Zheng of Shenyang has already reported to the Great Khan urgently, if the Great Khan knows that Fuzhou has fallen, I am afraid that the Great Khan will blame us for not sending troops to rescue under the wrath of the Great Khan, but who would have thought that Fuzhou, which has more than 4,000 people stationed in the Zhengbai Flag and the Han Army Flag, will be lost within a day?" But how is this good? ”

Another Zhang Jing said in a low voice: "The Ming army's sentry cavalry crossed Yongning, and the striker even reached Yulinpu, although it was blocked by our vests, but this time the guerrilla battalion was violent, I am afraid that it will soon be out of Fuzhou......"

Abatai sighed and said slowly: "I have my own rhetoric on the Great Khan's side, Fuzhou has been lost, and it is useless to say more, but what is the intention of the Ming army next?" It's hard to say. ”

Everyone was a little surprised, and the Mongolian Zhang Jing said loudly: "Master, what else is difficult to guess?" The Ming army defeated Fuzhou, it must have taken Gaizhou in one go, our Gaizhou is not better than Fuzhou, the city wall is strong, the Ming army is afraid that this time it will miscalculate. ”

Abatai shook his head: "If I were the commander of the Ming army, I would never attack Gaizhou ......" (to be continued......
