Run, run, the Tartars retreated from the city in a hurry, trying to break through the sea of fire and retreat to the rear, but where is it so easy. The oil burned, black smoke billowed out, and a large amount of harmful gases gathered, all of which were stored in the city roots.

When they reached the bottom, there was a sea of fire in front of them, but they were suffocated again, and the weak fell to the ground one after another, and after a while, they were poisoned and suffocated to death.

The remnants of the Tartars could only fight hard, they jumped over the sea of fire, some of them were stained with oil, turned into a fire man, did not run a few dozen steps, fell to the ground, the fire was still burning mercilessly, they turned into a mass of coke.

Luckily, they broke out of the flames, but their bodies were also covered with burns, their beards, and the pigtails on their heads were all gone, and these Tartars didn't even dare to turn their heads back, and they ran away.

Although Li Shutai was ruthless, he was ruthless, and he had no choice but to withdraw in disgrace.

There were more than 3,500 people burned to death and burned Tartars, and the stench of burnt corpses was all around the city walls.

But it was worth it, and the fire burned for an hour or so, and it didn't stop until all the oil was gone. The blazing wall of fire kept the Tartars out, and the soldiers finally won precious respite.

Treat the wounded, replenish the rolling wood and stones, and seize the time to fill the stomach. Everyone was extremely tired, and many soldiers had no time to eat the flatbread in their hands, so they leaned against the battlements and fell asleep.

"Hahaha, this guy. At least the Tartars can be stopped today, let's all have news and recuperate. Eli fights again! Li Xu said with a smile.

Li Dingguo shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Commander-in-chief, have you heard the prince say that there are four kinds of people in the army, one is smart and lazy, and wants to be the commander, and the other is smart and diligent." To be the Chief of Staff! ”

Li Xu frowned slightly, then stretched out, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, if you are not deaf or stupid, you will not be a master." The commanders of these three armies must be wise enough, but not excessively, so that everyone has a way to live. Is there only a chief of staff, who has to deal with big and small things. Naturally, you have to be shrewd. You also have to be diligent, Brother Dingguo is just right! I just don't know what these latter two kinds of people are? ”

"Naturally they are stupid and lazy, and they are stupid and industrious!" Li Dingguo said lightly: "Stupid and lazy people are obedient and won't cause trouble, and they are the best candidates to be the big soldiers." Is there only this fourth type? The commander-in-chief might as well guess, what to do? ”

Li Xu thought about it, and suddenly raised his right hand and scratched it around his neck. The two of them burst out laughing.

……

"There are so many people in this world, and the most terrible thing is stupid and tossed!" Wu Kaijie took a secret letter and sent it to Gu Zhenhua.

"Lord Wang. This is a handwritten letter written by Fan Keqin to Huang Degong, and Huang Degong sent it to you! ”

Gu Zhenhua raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to take the letter, and did not rush to open it, but asked, "Has Huang Degong read this letter?" ”

"No, Marquis Huang said that he is your general, and he obeys his orders, as for the others, they are not qualified to point fingers!"

"Hahaha, this Huang Degong is not an honest person, he is clearly a consumer Fan Keqin, I don't believe he can't guess what is written in it!"

Wu Kaijie also smiled: "What the prince said is reasonable, in fact, I have long wanted to say that we have great power in our hands, and we talk about killing a few ministers, even if we abolish the little emperor, what can we do?" You're always too kind-hearted, and it's insulting to be wise to let these little guys shout indiscriminately! ”

"Don't pour ecstasy soup, it's easy to kill heads, but it's difficult to change people's minds, some people keep them to make a fool of themselves, it's more effective than killing them!"

Gu Zhenhua read the letter again, and as expected, Fan Keqin tried his best to win over Huang Degong, wanting him to help deal with Gu Zhenhua, and even promised that after the matter was completed, he would take over the security of the army!

"Did they only look for Huang Degong, and there was no news from others?"

"Yes, in addition to Huang Degong, there are also Liu Kecheng, Li Wanqing, Ma Wannian and others, in short, except for the descendants of An Guojun, everyone else has contact."

"What do they say?"

Wu Kaijie knew that Gu Zhenhua was referring to the generals under him, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, people go to high places and water flows to low places, follow you to be prosperous and rich, and you have won battles and victories, and your status is increasing day by day. If you follow those literati, sooner or later you will become their slaves, and this kind of loss is not unsuffered, everyone knows it! ”

"It's good to be clear, as long as we don't mess up, let them toss as they want." Gu Zhenhua sneered: "You go and write a letter to Mr. Li and tell him that he wants to keep an eye on Fan Keqin and the others." ”

After a pause, Gu Zhenhua added: "Just keep an eye on it, don't rush to take action, they are ruined, it may not be a bad thing for us!" ”

"Ignorance, understood!"

……

"Lord Regent, please take a look!"

Fan Wencheng dragged a black rag and brought it to Dolgon.

"What's that?" Dolgon muttered, took the cloth in his hand, looked at it carefully, and sniffed it again.

"This, this is oil?"

"That's right, the Lord Regent is really like lightning!" Fan Wencheng said admiringly: "This thing is lighter than water, so it can burn on the surface of the river, the Ming army in the city is secretly put oil into the moat, and when the warriors rush to the city, they will ignite, a fire, burned countless warriors!" ”

"Vicious Ming Dog!"

Dolgon suddenly threw the rags on the ground, angry, and roared loudly: "Spread my will, tell all the generals, immediately mobilize men and horses, I will attack the city overnight, and if I don't take Handan, I will not give up!" ”

Fan Wencheng's face was bitter, just now there was a fire, and the army had already lost their fighting spirit, and if he went to fight to the death at this time, he was afraid that it would arouse dissatisfaction.

"Old minister, old minister thinks that he is very tired from marching and fighting for days, so he should rest for one night and fight again tomorrow."

"Rest?" Dolgon smiled contemptuously: "Mr. Fan, are those Mongols retreating and trying to make trouble?" ”

"The regent's eyes are like lightning, and the old minister doesn't dare to hide it. Several Taiji from the Ordos Ministry complained that they entered the customs to loot wealth, not to be cannon fodder. It is really useless to let good warriors go to attack the city and plunder the land! ”

Dolgon's face suddenly sank: "What you can't do is enough to dare to take care of me, sue them, tomorrow they will all rush to the forefront, otherwise they will be severely punished according to the law!" ”

After finishing speaking, Dolgon looked at Fan Wencheng, who was still bowing down and did not retreat. He suddenly snorted coldly and said, "Master Fan, don't you listen to my will either?" ”

"The old minister doesn't dare, the old minister will go!" Fan Wencheng hurriedly got up and was about to deliver the message. Suddenly, someone hurriedly ran in from outside, and it was Ning Wan and me.

"Qiyu Regent, something is wrong, the Daimyo, the Daimyo's Mansion has been lost!"

In a word, like a thunderbolt, Dolgon was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, with yellow skin and crispy flesh. The brain was empty all of a sudden, and two brave generals and tens of thousands of elite soldiers could withstand at least ten days. Just be able to break Handan calmly, but counting the days, it was taken down in less than two days, this, this is too beyond imagination!

"Tuhai, Tuhai!" Dolgon shouted angrily, "Arrest this minion, a thousand cuts!" ”

Ning Wan's face was full of bitterness, and I fell to the ground, crying bitterly.

"Regent, Tuhai and Tong Tulai have both died in battle, I heard the soldiers who fled back say that the Anguo army knows magic and can attack from the sky, and the big guys are stupid, and they don't dare to resist the Ming army at all!"

"Hmph, it's just a bunch of rice buckets, and they still have the face to make excuses!"

Dolgon said this, but he also calmed down a lot, the Anguo Army's tricks were indeed endless, and every battle could surprise him. I thought I had caught up, but I was quietly thrown away again!

As a generation of heroes, Dolgon is very sober, I am afraid that this is the last chance in front of him, if he misses it, I am afraid that he will never catch up with the footsteps of the Anguo army, and he can only sit and wait for death when the time comes.

After being silent for a long time, Dolgon suddenly asked, "Mr. Fan, how far is Gu Zhenhua from Handan?" ”

"Qiyu Regent, the Daimyo's Mansion is less than two hundred miles away from Handan, and according to the speed of the march, I am afraid that it will only take about four days to reach Handan!"

"Four days, four days!"

Dolgon walked back and forth on the ground a few times, and there were two choices in front of him, one was to take Handan within four days, seize the opportunity of the war, wait for work, and fight Gu Zhenhua!

Another one is to take the initiative to attack and come to a surround point to send reinforcements. Solve Gu Zhenhua first, and everything will be easy to do.

The first was relatively safe, except that Dolgon was not sure that he would break Handan in four days. Then there was only one way left, and Dorgon gritted his teeth!

"Immediately upload the will, mobilize 80,000 Eight Banner Force, 150,000 Mongolian elite cavalry, plus all the artillery teams, immediately follow me to the south, and fight to the death with Gu Zhenhua, and the rest of the men and horses will be temporarily handed over to Shuosai to continue to besiege Handan!"

Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan and I looked at each other, and they were all taken aback, the decisive battle is coming so soon?

"Your Majesty, the so-called son of a daughter can't sit down, and the old minister thinks it's better not to ......"

Before Fan Wencheng's words were finished, Dolgon waved his hand and sneered: "I have led troops to fight since I was a teenager, and I have been living on horseback, and I have been a regent for a few years, so I don't have the ability to fight on the battlefield?" ”

Fan Wencheng naturally didn't dare to talk much, so he could only lower his head.

Dorgon walked to the weapon rack on the right side of the tent and grabbed a long sword, the body of which was as cold as autumn water.

Dolgon suddenly raised his sword and slashed at the case, which shattered into two.

"Gu Zhenhua killed my brother, dug up my ancestral grave, slaughtered the warriors of the Qing Dynasty, and destroyed the unification of the country, I and him have long been incompatible, and there is only a battle of life and death! I, Dorgon, will not lose to anyone! ”

Dolgon's hysterical roar really has some of Ma Jingtao's demeanor, it seems that the choice of actors still makes sense!

Now that Dolgon has made up his mind, no one dares to obstruct it, Handan's bloody battle has been hastily stopped, and another real life-and-death war is about to begin! (To be continued......)
