Chapter 643: Above the Great Green Mountain

On the ninth day of the ninth month of the ninth month of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, on the top of the Daqing Mountain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

About forty or fifty miles from the north of Guihua City, there is a section of the Great Wall of Baidaoling built in the Qin and Han dynasties, the Great Wall has been eroded by wind and sand for thousands of years, and the beacon has become a pointed tip or steamed bun shape, and there are rumors that this section of the Great Wall is very likely to be built during the period of King Wuling of Zhao.

Along the Great Wall of Qin Shi Huang, or the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty, or the various ruins left by the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom, and then go to the northern foot of Daqing Mountain, there is the Great Wall of the Qin and Han Dynasties at the mouth of Shierdenkou, which is the only way to pass through the north and south, controlling the traffic arteries of the Tumo River in front of the mountain and the grassland behind the mountain.

The two mountains face each other here, the terrain is dangerous, after the Han army controls Daqing Mountain, there are castles built here, garrison guards, but with the Great Wall of the past dynasties, these castles are all deserted in the end, only a ruin remains, several broken walls.

It is the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of the first month of September, it is a good time to travel in autumn, climb high and overlook, but it has been quite cold in Saibei, some snow remains on the mountain road, suddenly the sound of hooves is mixed, there are more than a dozen horsemen rushing for their lives, these knights are all dressed as Mongolians, and some people are constantly bending their bows and arrows, shooting to the rear.

In their rear, there are more than 100 people dressed in the Ming army, but there are also some people dressed as grassland herdsmen, who only hold a hard crossbow in their hands, and keep shooting forward, this hard crossbow is a bit similar to the bow of the god arm in the Song Dynasty, although it is not easy to wind, but the bow is strong, just see the Mengqi in front, and people are constantly shot off the horse.

Among the pursuing Ming troops, there were also some Mongolian cavalry warriors holding Sulu ingots, these people were more skilled in horsemanship, and they saw that the Mongolian sentry cavalry in front of them was about to rush out of the Shildeng Pass. Some of them suddenly jumped on the empty horses next to them, and in the blink of an eye they changed horses, and then they accelerated their speed and ran diagonally up the slopes on either side, just like that, overtaking the horses running ahead.

In an instant, the sound of the bowstring was endless, and the Ming army that ran up the two slopes rode a rain of arrows, and shot the Mongolian sentry on the road for a while, and then the Ming army behind caught up, a burst of swords and arrows, and more than a dozen horsemen were spared. Death here one by one.

A stout Ming Mongol jumped off his horse. He drew his scimitar at once, and cut off his head like that, despite the fact that he was still struggling, and it hung on his waist in blood.

"Tabu bag. You've done it again. ”

A Ming army and Mongolian cavalry caught up from the rear. Shouting for joy.

The man raised two plateau red faces. said: "Gallard, yes, we have no problem becoming Yi nationality. But this is not enough, I want to make a meritorious service, exchange for a big manor in the future, be a big lord, and let Ava and Eji live in it! I also want to exchange a small manor for Atok as a dowry, although I have already cut off the heads of a few Tumut barbarians, but it is not enough, I want more military merits, more barbarian heads! ”

Galed shouted: "Don't worry about Ulunzhurig, I already have merit, it's no problem to exchange for a small manor in Japan, she marries me, and she will definitely be able to enjoy the rich life of the young grandmother......"

The two Mongolian soldiers happily exchanged ideas, and they were familiar with the popular meritorious service value in the Jingbian army for a long time.

Just listening to it, I feel that this feat is really a good thing, it can be exchanged for money and grain, weapons, horses, land, and even the finished manor can be exchanged, you don't need to build it yourself, as soon as you enter, you will have a stable income, and the annual profit rate is enough to make people feel at ease, which is really a necessary weapon for lazy people.

Of course, the exchange of the finished manor requires more merit value, but many soldiers are impatient to run their own business, or they have chosen the finished manor, once they are exchanged, they will have a stable income, which is better than taking a large piece of wasteland.

Merit so good? The Mongolian soldiers in the newly attached camp did not have doubts in their hearts, but when they saw that the Marquis of Yongning was talking like this, they naturally had doubts in their hearts.

Moreover, this is a real reward, unlike the original tribe, which was robbed of the Central Plains with the army, and grabbed some good things, but after returning to the grassland, the tribal leaders have a way to make you continue to be poor, so in this expedition outside the Saiwai, the new annexed troops are all enthusiastic, and they fight as if they don't want to die, Tabu Nang and Galed are among the representatives.

I heard that the two have attracted the attention of the battalion general Zeng Zhiyi, and it is possible that after the war, they will be received by the general Wang Dou as advanced representatives.

Like Galed and Tabuang, a large number of naturalized Mongolian soldiers were happily stroking their heads hanging around their waists, and the faces of the loyal and righteous battalion Ming soldiers in this wave of people were not very good-looking.

Joining the Zhongyi Battalion, Xiong Xianbin, the personal general of Xiong Tingrui, who was originally guarding the South Road of Dao, roared at his subordinates: "Shame on you, it's been a while since you came out to fight the Tartars, but now, your heads are less than half of the new attached camp...... When you came out, the adults of all families had high expectations for you, but thinking about it now, even some naturalized Tartar soldiers can't compare, Old Xiong, I really have a dull face, and my heart is full of pain......"

Listening to his roar, some of his subordinates beside him were also blue and white for a while, and they were all speechless.

After the conquest operation, as a follow-up to support the Qinglong Battalion, after the Han Dynasty arrived in Guihua City, the Zhongyi Battalion also arrived in Guihua City, but because of the characteristics of Mongolian cavalry, they were not the main force on the battlefield, and mostly appeared as stragglers on both wings, or sentry cavalry and search teams, and hunting and killing teams.

In this kind of war, they are often not as good as the new Mongols, for example, this small battle that echoes the night of the sentry camp, the people who participated in them have once again fallen behind, how can they make everyone's faces shine?

Seeing that his subordinates were speechless, but the Mongolian soldiers beside him were all proud, Xiong Xianbin shook his head helplessly, only hoping that when the time came, he would fight with most of the Tartars and his subordinates would behave well.

Fortunately, there was also a gain in this battle, after the emergency information was sent at night, he and Lemig and other subordinates who were searching in front immediately attacked, and he personally brought more than 50 horsemen, and finally eliminated all these snooping Mongolian horsemen, preventing them from transmitting information to most of the Tartars on the other side of the Xiaohuang River, which was also a great achievement.

After carefully cleaning up again, Xiong Xianbin said to a subordinate: "Go." Sent to the Tang report to the captain, our division wiped out the Tartar sentry cavalry, and most of the whereabouts were not revealed! ”

The subordinate shouted loudly, and immediately pulled his horse back, and he ran along the mountain path, through the colorful shallow grass hills, through the snow-covered mountains, through the bleak maple forests, and met the sentry riders all the way, and was met by them. Ran to the top of a verdant peak.

He looked down. On the mountain road, the horses are like a tide, the dense flashing weapons are cold, and there are layers of sun, moon, wave flags and king-shaped flags, which are shaking rhythmically. Synchronous. There was also a new annex to Mengqi following behind.

The ranks of the cavalry. The front is not the head, the back is not the tail, the dense Ming knights. is speeding towards the northern foot of Daqing Mountain, and the dense gun forest is pointing directly above the sky.

Looking at the Han family cavalry, the heat in his heart surged, he shouted, and rode his horse straight down.

"Captain Wang, Mr. Wang, this is the battle report ahead!"

"Hmm."

Han Chao returned the salute and said lightly: "It's hard work, keep up with the team." ”

"Obedience!"

The knight let out a loud shout and ran back to his ranks.

Wang Pu, who was beside him, touched his mustache and snorted coldly: "If the Tartar wants to run, he can't run away!" ”

He looked at the army in front of him and exclaimed: "Zhuangzai, my Han army cavalry, Zhuangzai, I ...... I...... We will definitely be able to wipe out the Tartars on the side of the Little Yellow River and raise the prestige of our army, of course, for the sake of safety, it is better to delay until the main force of the Marquis of Yongning arrives. ”

Han Chao beside him said: "What Wang Shuai said is extremely true. ”

Looking at the cavalry passing by closely, he was also excited, as early as that day, after the "Xizi" and others sent back information, he decided to send troops, and after receiving the order of the general on the way, he did not stop, and decided to drag all the Tartars who moved north to the south of the desert, and could not let them run away.

Listening to the sound of the horse's hooves on the ground and the sound of drums, he shouted again: "Speed up!" ”

……

On the edge of the Yellow River.

Here is located in the outer end of the northern foot of Daqing Mountain, the water and grass in the territory are abundant and beautiful, the sea is numerous, until the bottom of the Sanbu River, all can be called the sky is firm, the wild is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

Looking back at Daqing Mountain, a beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, from the flat meadows to the vast coniferous forests on the mountains, the forests stretch to the snow-capped mountains at the end of the mountain, and under the sunlight, exude different layers of charming colors.

"Alas, I am going to lose this beautiful pearl, lose my Qilian Mountain, so that my six animals do not breathe, lose my Yanzhi Mountain, make my wife colorless, the Huns sighed like this, and now my Tumut tribe also wants to lose their homeland like this?"

In the dense team of cattle and sheep in front of him, looking at the grief of everyone in the tribe, Gu Luge suddenly let out a sigh, and the people around him also looked dejected.

Gu Luge, Hanggao and other people, early back to the tribe hiding place, but a few days passed, did not go out of dozens of miles, cattle and sheep carts and horses are numerous, slow movement is one, after all, people and horses can run fast, but cattle and sheep are whipped with whips, not much faster, reluctant, reluctant to leave Monan, is an important reason for most of the slow action.

When Gu Luge lamented, Hang Gao was silent, he seemed to be much older than before, in the past he did not deal with Gu Luge, but seeing Gu Lu Ge like this, he couldn't help but feel sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox, and in turn comforted Gu Luge: "Let's go, don't be sad, now we are leaving temporarily, but the world is unpredictable, who knows when, we will fight back?" ”

Gurug looked at him: "Can you come back?" ”

Hang Gao's expression was gloomy: "Who can tell the things on the grassland?" The Central Plains is always prosperous and declining, when they are in their heyday, their troops stretch on the grassland, but when they are declining, they can only retreat to the hinterland of the Great Wall. ”

He said: "If the Central Plains has always been strong, everything will not be mentioned, but is there a China that has always been strong? When they are strong, we avoid it, Mo Nan can't stay, we go to Mo Bei, Mo North can't stay, we wander west. The tribe has been nomadic to the west for a hundred years, and then to the east for a hundred years, the Central Plains has often declined, and it is the world of our steppe warriors, and we will come back, even if we are old and can't see that day, our children and grandchildren, there will always be that day! ”

Gu Luge sighed, he was afraid that the Tumut tribe would leave, and later the rising tribe took advantage of the decline of the Central Plains and took the opportunity to occupy the land and grassland.

The Central Plains is booming and declining, and the grassland is not the same? Is there a tribe that has always ruled? After the Xiongnu there was Xianbei, after Xianbei there was Rouran, after Rou then there was Turkic, after Turkic there was Khitan, and then Jurchen, they Mongols, who can always be a strong master?

Thinking about all this, the Manchurians blamed them for sending troops, and finally provoked Wang Dou's revenge, he hated and said: "It's all to blame on the damned Huang Taiji, it doesn't matter if he dies, but he has affected the descendants of Genghis Khan, I can see through these guys...... Also, Zilharang and Dudu have been standing still, sitting back and watching the survival of my Tumut, and the descendants of Nurhachi are also equally courageless? ”

Hang Gao looked at him and shook his head speechlessly, he was going to surrender earlier, it was Gu Luge who tried his best to fight with Wang Dou, but now he didn't care that Yue Tuo was his nephew, he scolded the Great Qing Kingdom, and put all the blame on them.

He said: "You can't blame the Qing Dynasty, Wang Dou's main force gathers in Xinghe and other places, if they come to support, Jierharang will fall into a heavy siege, they are guest troops, this thousands of miles away, how many horsemen can return to Liaodong?" Moreover, they have also gone to the edge of the desert to respond, and they will definitely be able to bring our tribe to Mobei safely, and perhaps, they will divide a piece of land for us in Liaodong afterwards......"

Guluge snorted, still full of resentment and dissatisfaction: "Answer...... Answer the fart! ”

Just when he was full of complaints, a sentry rode in, bringing news that made Gulug and the others scatter.

……

A few days later, the cloaked Gu Luge was full of unwillingness, and the coalition army led by the Jingbian Army on the opposite side was arrayed again, although they only had 10,000 cavalry, and they had nearly 20,000 young and strong cavalry, but all the leaders were as white as the earth, and they did not dare to fight in formation.

The feathered cavalry of the Han Dynasty is too terrifying, more than 3,000 horsemen are pressed like a high wall, and no one can be the edge of the grassland.

Moreover, there are Wang Pu's main battalion cavalry, the new attached battalion Mongolian soldiers protect the two wings, and all the shortcomings of the feather cavalry are also made up, how can this be fought?

Hang Gao was anxious, these days, he has seen Han Chao's strategy, he doesn't plan to destroy himself now, but like a hyena, he bites himself tightly, and at the same time, the sentinels are densely packed, constantly cruising around, intercepting and killing scouts, this is waiting for the arrival of the large army, Wang Dou is about to arrive!

All tribes must be abandoned immediately, all cattle and sheep must be abandoned, and they must flee on light horses, and the Guluge must give up these belongings no matter how reluctant they are!

Moreover, after being caught up by the Korean Dynasty, news came that Zilharang had already run away with thousands of Manchurian elite horsemen and ran back directly to Liaodong.

Perhaps, they are not here to rescue at all, but to pick up the bargain afterwards, and even have the idea of taking advantage of the fire to rob, after the rise of Wang Dou, they gave up the Tumut Department thousands of miles away, Huang Taiji painstakingly managed, from Liaodong to Qinghai The semi-circular encirclement of the Ming Dynasty has been easily given up by the Shunzhi Emperor Dolgon.

Also, the Hetao Mongols also ran away early, and they no longer paid attention to the heavy reward guarantees of their own people, and the Mongols of the outer vassals of the three Khalkha tribes also showed hesitation, perhaps, they also had the idea of retreating and wanted to retreat.

Seeing Gu Luge's crazy appearance, he was still reluctant to accept the tribal population, the cattle and sheep were heavy, Hang Gao gritted his teeth, and thought that if Gu Luge did not leave, he would take the Tumut right-wing banner and go by himself.

At this moment, on the eastern horizon, the sound of hooves was like thunder, the black-pressed, layered cavalry was like locusts rushing, and one after another of the sun, moon and wave flags spread across the sky, and Wang Dou really led the main force to arrive.

Hang Gao's face was as dead as ashes, and he muttered, "It's over!" (To be continued.) )
