Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the last darkness before dawn, the rain washed the blood stains on the mountain roads and rocks, including Jurchens and Han Chinese, and the soldiers and horses of Datong Town stepped on the muddy roads and retreated into the undulating mountains.
The spring rain is as expensive as oil, but this rain came at a bad time. The Ming army could not use guns and other firearms, and its already weak combat effectiveness had to be reduced.
"Keep up!" The generals always greet their own soldiers in the dark, in case anyone gets lost in the dark.
Half an hour later, Zhai Zhe's clothes were already soaked, although his soldiers were cavalry, they did not lack endurance training such as running, cross-country and climbing, and left Jiang Jie's soldiers behind along the way, if he didn't deliberately lag behind, I am afraid that Jiang Zheng would have been left behind.
An hour later, when the sky was slightly white, the army stopped at the fork in the road of Yanghe and Zhidatong. The mountain road after the rain was very slippery, everyone ran all night, fought for half a night, Zhai Zhe's corporal was still able to support, Jiang Zhi's bird hand queue was very loose, and only sixty percent of the soldiers arrived at the station at the same time.
"General Zhai! Your men are all battle-hardened warriors! Dare to fight with the Qinglu! Jiang Ji touched the rain on his face and praised it. He and Zhai Zhe are old acquaintances, and he originally had some doubts about Zhai Zhe being named a general after he surrendered, but his attitude changed greatly after fighting side by side.
"I have to help Brother Jiang to dare to have this battle!" Zhai Zhe untied his wet bun and draped it over his shoulders like when he was in the grassland, and said: "I don't know how many cuts in the dark, even if I fail to defeat the Qing prisoners, it can be regarded as a lesson to them, and we can no longer regard Datong as if it were no one." ”
"This battle can destroy the Qingyu Iron Cannon, it should be regarded as a big victory, better than killing a thousand levels!" Jiang Jian's words are exaggerated.
Zhai Zhe understood what he meant, it was very common for Daming Border Town to falsely report his military exploits, and there was once a level who killed the people of Liangshun as a thief, Jiang Zhi said that he wanted to repay the victory. He smiled slightly and said, "Brother Jiang's battle merits in this battle, if it weren't for your firecracker, we would definitely not be able to break through the Qingyu armor." He didn't want to compete with Jiang Pai for merit, so he was appointed as a general, and no matter how great his merits were, it was impossible to be promoted, so it was better to be a favor.
"Thank you, Brother Zhai!" Jiang Zhi understood, thanked him, hesitated for a moment, and said: "You and I are more than ten years apart, but our tempers are very similar, if Brother Zhai doesn't mind, you and I will be commensurate with brothers in the future!" ”
Zhai Zhe was stunned, Jiang Pai's move was greatly unexpected by him, he was not familiar with life in the Ming officialdom after entering the fortress, and his reputation was even worse after the Qing Dynasty entered the Kou, how could Jiang Pai extend an olive branch at this time? He thought for a moment, laughed, and said, "I've always called Brother Jiang!" "No matter what Jiang Ting's intentions are, he is most lacking in friends right now.
"But I was careless!" Jiang Jian laughed loudly. In the laughter of different styles, the two reached a tacit understanding.
The soldiers of the towns of the Ming Dynasty are almost the private soldiers of the generals, for example, although the general battalion in charge of Jiang Pan is under the command of Hu Dawei, the general soldier of Datong, Hu Dawei cannot command and control it like controlling private soldiers. There are many factions of soldiers and horses in the border towns, Jiang Jian is the red man of the former Datong governor Jiao Yuanbo, and after changing his boss, he also wants to find a companion and backer, and he can only become a vassal of the general army after Hu Dawei completely. His mind is not as rough as his appearance, and choosing to associate with Zhai Zhe at this time can kill three birds with one stone. Zhai Zhe's soldiers and horses are good at fighting, and he has the opportunity to make good friends with Zhai Zhe and gain military exploits; Zhai Zhe controls the killing of Hukou business, since he entered the fortress, everyone in the army has been staring at this benefit, wanting to get a piece of the pie, Zhai Zhe has to let it out to show his attitude, if he does not take advantage of this kind of benefit, it is not stupid; The most important point is that Jiang Zhen felt that the Governor attached great importance to Zhai Zhe, and Hu Dawei would never give him a chance to show his face in front of the Governor, if he got close to Zhai Zhe, of course, he would always be in the eyes of the Governor.
When the hour passed, the soldiers who were left behind followed in twos and threes, and Feng Qin and Meng Kang led the soldiers who were in ambush to march forcibly and rushed to the meeting place. The number of troops was counted, and some people did not know whether they were lost in the mountains and forests or died in the dark, and the two armies did not have time to wait, because Xiao Zhiyan, who had stayed behind to monitor the Jurchens, came to report, and Abatai led the Qing army to chase after everyone's footprints.
Jiang Jian arched his hand: "Brother Zhai, don't leave it here, you have to be careful!" After this battle, he will return to Datong City, and holding on there is his most important task.
"The same goes for you!" Zhai Zhe turned over on a big dark horse.
The two groups of men and horses separated, and Zhai Zhe's cavalry slowly retreated in the direction of Shuozhou, and the Jurchens, who had suffered a big loss, would not let him go.
The spring rain never stopped, and the mountains were filled with smoke.
Abatai chased to the foot of Datong City, was not familiar with the road to the south, and did not dare to pursue rashly, so he ordered his men to gallop to the foot of Shifu Ridge to tell Dolgon. In the night attack, the Jurchen soldiers and horses suffered little losses, only the Han artillery battalion was almost completely wiped out, and he secretly congratulated himself that only 30% of the artillery was mobilized into the fortress.
Shifu Ridge.
The two armies are fighting bloody battles in this heavy rain.
It was the second day when Abatai's messenger arrived, and the ridge was not as noisy as it had been yesterday. Shanxi's deputy general Wanchang was hastily buried after being beheaded, and Wang Pu personally inspected the military camp to strictly enforce military discipline. Lu Xiangsheng's anger made him feel a little empty in his heart. The Governor would not attack the general of a town, but killing his lieutenant contained a strong sense of warning. The defenders on the mountain were ready, and Yuan Qizhou sharpened his sword, but the Qing captives did not attack the mountain for the first time.
The barracks at the foot of the mountain were very quiet under the smoke and rain, and Dolgon wandered in the camp, and yesterday's battle was a blow to his confidence, and the morale of the army was low. They are deep in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and have no confidence to face another defeat.
In the early morning, when it was just dawn, the scout cavalry brought a knight wearing a hat into the fortress. After entering the big tent, the person lifted the hat, revealing a simple and simple face, "Meet the prince!" "It's the messenger who came before.
"See you again!" Dolgon was not in high spirits, leaning back in his chair and not moving.
As he had done last time, he took out his dagger as if by magic, cut the patches of his worn clothes, took out a piece of cloth with words written all over it, and said, "This is what my master has worked so hard to get!" ”
The soldiers took it and presented it.
Dorgon took it, unfolded it expectantly, and suppressed his ecstasy at a glance. The cloth clearly marked the number of soldiers and horses stationed in most of the camps and forts in Shanxi and Datong towns, which clearly showed that the garrison of Shanxi military town was empty, and most of the men and horses in Xuanda town were concentrated in Xuanfu.

Bar Lord 7
The man opened his mouth to explain: "The governor of Xuanda Town moved all the people of Datong to Shanxi, and there were soldiers and horses patrolling and garrisoning along the way, and the roads were inconvenient, so it was too late. ”
"It's not too late!" Dolgon put away the cloth and said, "The Qing Dynasty will not forget the merits of your master!" ”
The man's face was expressionless, and he arched his hand and said, "If there is nothing to do, I will retire below!" ”
"Be careful on the road!" Dolgon actually cared for the safety of a Han Chinese.
When the man came out of the camp, Dolgon took out the strip of cloth and observed it carefully, frowning and pondering, if the Lord Xuan was guarding the Xuan Mansion, why didn't he attack Shanxi?
At the hour of the hour, two fast horses galloped into the camp from the direction of Yanghe in the northwest and entered the tent of the Chinese army.
"Report, yesterday, the reinforcements of Fort Victory were ambushed by the Ming army Zhai Zhe in the mountains of Yanghe County, and Abatai Belle defeated Zhai Zhe's soldiers and horses, but the artillery carried by the army was accidentally destroyed." The messenger was terrified when he told the news.
"What's going on?" When it rained, Dorgon was furious.
"Zhai Zhe's men and horses fled to the west of Shanxi, and Abbateyle asked if he wanted to pursue!" The messenger snapped the bullet and finished delivering the message.
