Chapter 344: Don't Recognize a Thief as a Father
The wilderness was full of fallen soldiers.
Some have long since died, some are seriously injured and still crying out for help, but the defeated soldiers in the past have turned a blind eye, and no one is willing to stop the hurried pace for them.
Several groups of Eight Banners cavalry also roared past their horses, and no one paid any attention to these poor people. They were chasing the large groups of Ming troops on the battlefield to defeat them, trying to defeat every large group of Ming troops, and never let the Ming army have a chance to gather again.
Wu Jizu, the cavalry of Ningyuan, was lying in the mud, and his war horse was lying down a few steps away with a few arrows stuck in his body. Wu Jizu was lying on the ground, his clothes soaked with blood, and the mud under him was red, and he felt that his body was getting colder and colder. He screamed, he screamed, he pleaded with every Ming brother who passed by, begging them to take him.
His voice was hoarse, and his strength was exhausted.
The body was very cold, shivering with cold. There was a big hole in his abdomen, and his intestines were coming out, and he kept trying to stuff them back in, but they always came out again.
Now he didn't have the strength to stuff them in anymore, and it was a fierce Mongol soldier who had slashed it, and the cotton armor couldn't stop the ferocious scimitar slash.
Now, Wu Jizu only hopes to get a good time.
Another group of people walked over, and Wu Jizu looked up, but saw that it was some young men without armor. He thought about it, maybe it was the people in the city of Yiju, those people were enslaved by the Tartars, transported grain and grass for them, repaired the city walls, and now, they came to clean the battlefield for the Tartars again.
"Brother!" Wu Jizu shouted hard.
A pair of unfamiliar eyes looked at him in front of him, it was a very young man, maybe not yet eighteen.
"Brother, give me a good time, I'm going to die." Wu Jizu said again, after saying this, he became even weaker.
The young man came up and crouched down beside him.
"You're going to die. It can't be saved. The boy told him with a pitiful look.
"I know." Wu Jizu said, "I can't live, but it doesn't matter, I'm a good man again after eighteen years." Brother, what's your name? ”
"Zhao Xiaosi."
"Little fourth brother, do me a favor, I have a letter on my chest, addressed to my wife and children at home. In the future, if you have the opportunity, can you send this letter to my house, to my wife and children? Tell them I'm dead here. But you remember to tell them that my life is worth it, from Songshan to Yizhou, I killed seven Jianyu Zhenyi under the gun, and avenged our Wu family, it is worth it. ”
Zhao Xiaosi stretched out his hand to stuff Wu Jizu's intestines back.
"Little fourth brother, you are a good person, you must remember that you are Han. You are the people of the Ming Dynasty, we do not share the hatred of the Tartars, and now the situation is compelling, you can't do anything for the Tartars. But you must have your heart in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and you must not really recognize the thief as your father and forget your ancestors, you know? ”
"Brother. You're going to die. ”
"Death is death, no one dies, but I have seven tartars for my back. Huangquan Road is not lonely. Brother, remember my words and avenge me in the future. ”
After saying this, Wu Jizu's breathing gradually weakened, and finally he lost his breath.
Zhao Xiaosi looked at Wu Jizu, who was dead with his eyes wide open, and his heart was very shocked. He stretched out his hand and took out the local tyrant letter in Wu Jizu's arms, and untied a money bag from his waist, where there were two silver coins. In the end, he picked up Wu Jizu's two riding guns.
With the two riding guns in his hands, the young Zhao Xiaosi suddenly felt a surge in his heart.
He looked back at the city of Uiju behind him, and suddenly felt an impulse.
His father, mother, brothers and sisters all died in the city, and Uiju was his home, but now there is no family there. Wu Jizu's words just now made the impulse in his heart difficult to suppress.
You must not recognize a thief as your father.
I'm worth dying, I have seven Tartars to make a back, and I'm not lonely on the Huangquan Road.
Tell my wife and children for me, I am dead, but the value of death, tell them that I have avenged the Wu family!
Zhao Xiaosi's hand holding the riding gun became harder and harder, his chest rose and fell more and more violently, and finally, he grabbed two riding guns and inserted them into his waist, then picked up Wu Jizu's waist knife, and began to turn away.
"Zhao Xiaosi, where are you going? Don't go blind, look for death? ”
Next to it, there was the shout of the leader of the same Minfu team, that person was a broken scoundrel in Yizhou City, after the Qing people occupied Yizhou, he was also arrested Minfu, because he nodded to the Qing people, so he made him the captain of Zhao Xiaosi's team of people, in charge of fifty people.
Usually, this guy bullies the people in the team a lot, and Zhao Xiaosi is the target of his frequent bullying because he is young.
Zhao Xiaosi didn't look back and continued to walk forward.
Yang Hu couldn't help but be furious when he saw that Zhao Xiaosi actually ignored him, turned over a horse from the battlefield and rushed towards Zhao Xiaosi.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves behind him, Zhao Xiaosi turned around.
Yang Hu rode his horse to the front, waved his whip and whipped it down. Zhao Xiaosi grabbed the tail of the whip, and with a fierce force, Yang Hu was torn off the horse by surprise, Zhao Xiaosi pulled out Wu Jizu's waist knife, stepped forward, and stabbed Yang Hu in the chest.
Yang Hu covered his wound and shouted in pain, "How dare you?"
"Recognize the thief as the father and the tiger as the livestock, what will you do except bully your own people!"
After scolding this, Zhao Xiaosi pulled out the knife, wiped the blood-stained knife on Yang Hu's clothes a few times, then led the horse, jumped on the horse, shouted, and rode away.
This sudden change surprised the group of people next to him.
"Zhao Xiaosi has a kind."
After many people were surprised, they cheered for Zhao Xiaosi in their hearts, no one thought that this usually weak boy still had such a strong side. actually killed Yang Hu, and took the horse and ran away.
Outside the city of Yiju, there were defeated Ming soldiers everywhere.
After Dolgon's army arrived, the 100,000-strong army under the city of Uiju quickly collapsed. Liu Zhaoji was the first to be defeated, and then when Mako, who had been defeated in Zilharang, returned to Dongcheng to gather his men and horses to fight reflexively, he was rushed by Dolgon to defeat him.
Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong in Xicheng, when the soldiers and horses of Yizhou went out of the city to counterattack, he really took the opportunity to attack Yizhou City. Without the resistance of the Qing army, Wang Pu led his troops to catastrophe in the city. They were very happy to seize the granaries, weapons depots, and money depots in the city of Uiju, and they did not even let go of the shops and houses.
But just when Wang Pu was proud of his first attack to capture Yizhou, he received a report that a large number of Qing troops had arrived from Guangning and had defeated the commander-in-chief Liu Zhaoji and Ma Ke one after another. When he killed Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou, Wang Pu did not hesitate to order to abandon the city and flee west, and he didn't even think about going to Nancheng to reinforce Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou.
Under the city of Yiju, the army of 100,000 collapsed and was completely defeated.
After the arrival of Dolgon, the Ming army did not even have any decent resistance, and retreated directly, and then retreated into failure, defeat into rout, and rout into rout.
Within dozens of miles around the city of Yiju. There were defeated soldiers everywhere, all over the mountains, and the Qing army pursued everywhere, only caring about pursuing those large groups of defeated troops, and the rest could not be cared about.
Groups of Ming troops were captured, often a group of more than a dozen Qing troops, but they could capture hundreds or even two or three hundred Ming troops. The little confidence that had gathered since the Battle of Matsuyama quickly collapsed and dissipated.
The first thing Dorgon said when he saw Dorgon was. "Did Wu Sangui's artillery take it down?"
"It's all taken down, thanks to Shi Tingzhu, pretending to be a Ming army all the way from the south, and deceiving countless Ming troops. Approaching the front of the artillery position, Wu Sangui couldn't prevent it at all, and we directly destroyed the artillery car. Hahaha, although these cannons are strong, they don't have artillery carts and tools. The cannon was immediately useless. ”
"Can it still be used?" Dorgon asked with concern.
"Of course, no problem, as long as you add a gun carriage and artillery equipment, you can use it immediately. Good guy, we have a big harvest this time, and all the large and small artillery pieces of the Ming army in the five towns and more than 100,000 are gathered together by Wu Sangui, and there are hundreds of them. I've just seen it, and many of them are Hongyi cannons, and many of them are said to be the latest Hongyi cannons, and some of them are even more powerful than the Zhenguo General Cannons we cast. ”
Dolgon was overjoyed to hear the news. He patted his compatriots on the shoulders excitedly, "The fifteenth brother did a good job, with these cannons, we will be like a tiger this time, and we will not have to worry about the artillery of the Ming army in the future." ”
"Find out all the gunners of the Ming army immediately, settle them well, don't be wronged. It's not enough to have a cannon, you have to have a good gunner. Dorgon confessed.
For the Qing army, this battle of Yizhou was a very beautiful turnaround. At the beginning, the Ming army was fierce, and the city of Yizhou was almost broken. But the peak turned around, and Shi Tingzhu and Dolgon's troops were killed, and the Ming army was completely defeated.
100,000 Ming troops, all defeated.
Under the city of Yiju, the Ming army left more than 10,000 corpses and more than 30,000 prisoners.
More Ming troops were scattered within a hundred miles of Yizhou.
Dolgon asked Zilharang to stay behind to repair the walls of Yiju and guard the Ming prisoners. Dolgon, on the other hand, took advantage of the victory with his brothers Duoduo and Shi Tingzhu to go south.
Dolgon's fist slammed into the location of Jinzhou City on the map.
"We are going to besiege Jinzhou again, this time, it is a real siege."
"I'm afraid it's too late, Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou are running too fast." Dodor.
Dolgon smiled, "Don't worry, the emperor has sent Prince Li to lead troops from Dalinghe, and it is estimated that Jinzhou City has been re-encircled at this moment." When Wu Sangui fled back to Jinzhou, it is estimated that he will not be able to go back. ”
On the same day, Dolgon, Duoduo, and Shi Tingzhu led 30,000 Qing troops south.
Under the city of Jinzhou.
Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou cleaned up the defeated troops along the way, and finally withdrew to the city of Jinzhou. When the city of Jinzhou sent troops that day, Wu Sangui led 120,000 soldiers and horses from five towns to kill all the way to the city of Yizhou.
But now, there are less than 20,000 people who followed Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou all the way back to Jinzhou City.
At the head of Jinzhou City, the red flag of the Ming Dynasty is still flying.
What can make Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou frown urgently is that the Qing army is already full of Qing troops outside Jinzhou City.
Jinzhou, once again besieged by the Qing army.
The appearance of Wu Sangui and others had already alarmed the Qing army outside the city, and a large group of Qing army horses had already appeared in front of them.
Zu Dashou secretly assessed the number of Qing troops outside Jinzhou City, and estimated that there were at least 50,000.
"The Tartars are pouring in." Zu Dashou sighed, "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's retreat to Songshan to rest first." ”
Wu Sangui looked at Jinzhou City with a gloomy face, and then looked at the Qing army outside the city, and was silent for a moment, Wu Sangui nodded, "Go to Songshan first." ”
There were tens of thousands of Qing troops surrounding Jinzhou in front, and tens of thousands of Qing troops chasing after him from Yizhou, Wu Sangui knew that he could not recapture Jinzhou with this defeated army at this time.
"I'll be back, definitely, I swear!"
Before leaving, Wu Sangui looked at Jinzhou City and said hatefully. (To be continued.) )
