Chapter 51: The Battle of the Man and the Tiger
All right! Then retreat first! Back in the army, anyway, the treasure is Zhang Biwu's business, and Zhang Biwu can deal with it as he wants. Thinking of this, Ma Yuanli left. Xia Wanchun couldn't keep Ma Yuanli. Xia Wanchun was waiting for his letter to go to Zhang Biwu to see how Zhang Biwu replied.
As soon as Zhang Biwu received the letter, he couldn't help but look at it again and again, he was thinking, if he sent troops to Sichuan immediately in the current situation, would it be too late to join the ranks of treasure hunting in Phoenix Mountain?
Hong Chengchou, Azig, Wu Sangui and others are all here, the strength of the Qing army is very strong, and it is not an easy task to carry out a treasure hunt with them!
Even He Tengjiao and Qu Shiyun also brought people and horses, and it seems that they also want to get this treasure, so as to prepare for the revival of the Ming Dynasty.
Because Azig led a large number of troops, Dolgon could not attack Zhang Biwu if he wanted to, and Beijing had to be garrisoned, as if this must have contained the defensive strength of other places, such as the side of Nanzhili, if he suddenly sent troops to attack there, he would definitely be able to capture.
Is it just that the treasure is really left alone? Zhang Biwu is really unwilling! Now he's short of money!
Even if you want to, what's the solution? The other party has gathered too many soldiers and horses here, so why bother to join in the excitement? And if you can make Wu Sangui and the Manchu Qing fall out and fight, it will be a big treasure!
Zhang Biwu was relieved when he thought of this, so he sent troops to seize Fengyang Mansion again, in order to directly threaten Nanjing and other places in order to cut off the canal, which was a plan to draw wages from the bottom of the Manchu cauldron. If you don't take advantage of the emptiness of its troops, how long will it take to do this?
Zhang Biwu was drawing his cavalry. The infantry then advanced. It is necessary to achieve the speed of the soldiers.
In fact, Dolgon would also expect that he would draw men and horses into the Sichuan, and the area around the canal would be empty, if Zhang Biwu really took advantage of the void to cut off the canal, in this way, he would lose contact with Jiangnan, and he must defend against this, and he didn't ask for anything. However, he asked the canal to deploy troops to keep the canal continuous, and then find a way to recover the lost territory in the future. Everything is easy to do if you have money, and if you don't have money, Chongzhen is the best example of the past.
Of course, Zhang Biwu attacked militarily, and politically, he would also spread rumors in Beijing, so that Shunzhi would have doubts about Dolgon, who had a huge treasure in order to plot against him.
In this way, all the movements of Dolgon will be restrained, and if they are divided again. That's even better.
Dolgon set up heavy troops in Chuzhou and Sizhou, and Fengyang was not much of a threat to Zhang Biwu in the Ming Dynasty. Lined up. The canal is tightly guarded. And Chuzhou and Sizhou have already strengthened the city, and Hongyi cannons have also been transported to the city.
Even if it was the important town of Hefei, Dolgon did not set up heavy troops, and he did not hesitate to give Hefei to Zhang Biwu.
Zhang Biwu really sent troops to occupy these places, he stationed troops here, closely monitored to see the rear, and at the same time, there was also news of the treasure.
Wu Sangui received an edict from Dolgon to keep him around without approaching. He was somewhat afraid of Dolgon, and heard the news that Hong Chengchou had led his troops into Sichuan again, and Wu Sangui could not help even if he slandered the treasure.
Of course, Wu Sangui knew the news that He Tengjiao, Qu Shiyun and others also entered Sichuan, he was thinking of a way, how to get a huge treasure, since He Tengjiao also wanted to rob it, isn't this an opportunity? Use them to accomplish your own ends.
Wu Sangui began to act, he found the former Ming Dynasty Suide Prefecture Zhizhou Zhou Shiqi, Chen Zhilong, Ming Dynasty general Sun Chuanting's subordinate Niu Chenghu, Ming Dynasty Guanxi Dao Zhou Boda, and when he accompanied Azig to fight against Li Zicheng, Li Yutian and Ma Ke were captured and had no choice but to surrender.
Ma Ke is a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, he once accompanied Hong Chengchou to aid Songjin, and later retreated, his relationship with Wu Sangui is also quite close, and everyone once escaped together.
Wu Sangui also heard that He Tengjiao and others united Song Quan, Tang Yu and others, and their strength reached nearly 4,000 people at once, these are the scattered soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, which are still far from the men and horses brought by Azig, and they have to help them at that time.
Let's give Ma Ke and other leading troops to take this group of treasures! Wu Sangui has already planned and is ready to implement the plan. Zhou Shiqi and others repeatedly told Wu Sangui that they would handle this matter well.
They went to contact He Tengjiao and others, He Tengjiao and others were still short of troops, and the 2,000 people under Song Quan and Tang Yu were all rabble, and they didn't have much combat ability.
As soon as I heard that there were generals such as Zhou Shiqi, Chen Zhilong, Niu Chenghu, Zhou Boda, Li Yutian, and Ma Ke, they all came to help, and there were still a lot of troops. Although I heard that they were subordinate to Wu Sangui's subordinates before, but now that I don't rely on them, I really don't know who to rely on! Grab the treasure first, and then do the rest!
And at Phoenix Mountain, Azig sent scouts to monitor the surrounding situation, especially Zhang Biwu's side, if he really sent troops to grab the treasure, then it would not be possible.
Azig ordered his soldiers to dig deep day and night, making sure to dig out the treasure.
It can be said that they dug three feet into the ground here, and first dug up a hundred corpses, the clothes on these corpses have not yet been melted off, and it can be seen that they are the uniforms of the soldiers of the Great Western Army.
Legend has it that after Zhang Xianzhong successfully dug up the treasure, he killed all the soldiers who participated in the treasure and buried their corpses.
Looking at the 100 corpses that have been dug up, does it prove that this is a treasure trove?
Barto also thinks it's strange, even if it is to extinguish the mouth, it is impossible to extinguish the mouth in the treasure place! Why is this so?
His gaze fell on a temple near the cave that looked like a small earth temple with the inscription "Long live Onishi".
Jiang Fei shouted: "Look! What words are here! Immediately, a soldier took out a piece of paper from the corpse and read: "We are willing to die to protect the emperor's treasure!" ”
In this way, it is easy to explain, once they die to protect the treasure, doesn't it mean that they died here voluntarily and buried their bodies on the top of the treasure to protect the treasure?
Azig shouted excitedly: "Kill the living to protect it, there must be a treasure!" There is a treasure! Hurry up and get the body out of my way! ”
Someone immediately went to do it, and they wanted to remove the corpse. But these people were just touching the corpses. It didn't take long. One by two, they were blackened all over. He fell to the ground.
"What! Could it be that there are really powerful ghost guards? This, this ...... "Manchu soldiers are extremely superstitious, and they can't help but be afraid when they see this." Jiang Fei was an understanding person, and he shouted: "Don't be afraid, everyone! It's not that the ghosts guard the treasure, but because there is poison on the corpse, our people will be poisoned to death! You don't have to worry, just use a spear and a hook to remove the corpse without touching it. There will be no poisoning! ”
In this way, it naturally stabilizes people's hearts a little.
Jiang Fei's eyes couldn't help but fall on the river flowing in front of him, he just looked at it stunned, and he didn't care about this river, this would be Jiang Fei's biggest mistake, but no one wanted to get it......
At this time, the three Qing soldiers standing guard in one of the trees, because of the panicked shouting just now, they couldn't help but look over and want to see what was going on.
But he didn't watch out for it. Three tigers had quietly touched their backs, and they immediately pounced. Knocked the three of them to the ground.
The three were thrown to the ground. The spit in the tiger's mouth dripped all over their bodies, their souls were scared away, and the crotch of the other two people urinated out, where did they go with the majesty of killing civilians before? You have the ability to fight tigers!
There was still a full soldier who cried out, but then, the tiger bit his throat, and how could he die when his sharp teeth pierced it?
When someone heard the cry, he said, "What is the matter?" I think I heard a shout? Then I looked around to hear what was going on, but there was no more noise.
The person next to him couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't be suspicious, what's the matter!" Look, everyone is looking forward to digging up the treasure! I really want to see how many treasures there will be! ”
If they don't pay attention, then the danger will come, because the tiger has been hungry for many days, and at the beginning a large number of people entered the mountains and forests, and the tiger saw a lot of people, of course, he did not dare to mess around.
Now because of hunger, and the movement of this group of people is too big, it has disturbed the tiger's good dreams! There is another thing, which is that the hungry tiger came out in search of food, and it was discovered, and of course those people shot the tiger.
The tigers are even more angry, they only think about revenge, they can take revenge and fill their stomachs, how can the tigers fight back endlessly?
The tigers are on the move. It is said that tigers act alone, rarely in groups, and one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.
But this is the case in Phoenix Mountain, where the tigers are gathered in twos and threes, with a total of eight tigers. Is it really as the legend says, after Zhang Xianzhong's death, because his real name is Yellow Tiger, he turned into a tiger and led a group of tigers to cause trouble.
"Tiger!" A soldier shouted, and his screams immediately attracted the attention of many people, and people turned their eyes over.
When I saw it, I gasped for air! Good boy! There are actually eight tigers! Oh, my God! Aren't the tigers not together? How can there be so many! I thought that the tiger I shot was to get rid of the tiger trouble, but now that I look at it, it's not like that! And most of these insects can be a headache.
"There are tigers! Fast! "Don't be afraid, there are a lot of people here, and now that the tigers are out, they have to kill all the tigers.
Tigers are not stupid, they are woken up, how can they not be woken up? The mountains are full of people, and they dig east and west, stirring up the tiger's dreams, and the tiger can't hide it if he wants to.
"Whew!" The tiger screamed, and with a wave of its tail, the trees were swept off.
"Shoot!" "Xiu Xiu" arrows were shot at the tiger. The tiger jumps up and down, and the tiger wants to run to the cave to hide, or escape from Phoenix Mountain. It's just that Phoenix Mountain is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside the Qing soldiers, so how can the tiger escape?
"Look where the tiger is! These tigers must be killed! Also said what is Zhang Xianzhong's incarnation into a tiger! As long as you kill them all, you will be able to stop rebelling against some rebellious people! Suppress the rumors that Zhang Xianzhong has turned into a tiger! A partial general said this, and he pointed to the east and west and ordered the soldiers to hurry up.
At this moment, there was a pair of eyes flashing in the artemisia grass, this was the tiger lurking, it saw the general, and its eyes were full of anger!
"Whew!" A roar! When the Qing general saw clearly, he saw the tiger pounce on his hand, and grabbed his claws, even if he wanted to flash sideways, under the sharp claws and claws, five clear paw prints appeared on his face, and his face was suddenly covered with blood.
The general screamed and fell to the ground, wailing that he wanted people to come and save him!
At the same time, he felt that everything in front of him was yellow! This is because the big yellow tiger has pounced on him, and his feet want to fix him.
His strength is quite large, and he pushes the tiger directly, and it is not easy for the tiger to bite it down. The tiger's eyes revealed a sly gaze.
No, the tiger's head swinged, and he blindly pushed the tiger's head with his hand, and his hand fell short, and the tiger's head opened his mouth to bite again!
Look at you not dead this time! The general was really helpless, he could only watch the sharp teeth bite at him, and with a "porphyry", his throat was bitten off.
"Quick! Come and kill the tiger! At this time, the Qing soldiers came, and they watched the tigers shoot arrows one after another, and they shot down two tigers in one fell swoop.
It's still the biggest yellow tiger, it won't be so easy to get caught. "Woo" was another long howl, and it jumped towards the Qing soldiers.
Qing Bing shouted: "It seems that this is just the king of the tigers!" It is Zhang Xianzhong's incarnation, so that many yellow tigers will come here! Capture it! ”
Capture it? It's not an easy task! It jumped into the crowd, but saw a wave of its claws.
Some of the "porphyria" people have fallen a lot! or the chest is bloody, and the worst thing is that the face blooms, and some of the pain is so painful that he faints on the spot.
"I'll kill!" A partial general is really not afraid of death, and he shoots at the tiger. The tiger flashed sideways, flashed, and another shot stabbed, and the tiger opened its mouth, bitten, and bit off the barrel of the gun.
The spearman sat down on the ground, looked at Huang Hu in fear, and shouted in a pleading tone, "No, don't come here!" Don't! Please, spare my life! ”
How could the tiger understand him? Even if you understand it, you won't spare it! Kill! "Porphyry", the spearman was bitten to death! Deserve!
"Up! Kill it! "A large group of full soldiers surrounded the Yellow Tiger, just to kill the Yellow Tiger.
The yellow tiger roared vigorously, "Roar! The sound continued, and when it saw this, it knew that it was also dead.
It is like a proud warrior who will fight to the end knowing that he will die, and will not surrender easily. (To be continued......)
