Chapter 9: Stop the Pursuit
Hao Shaoqi drove the horse with a horse's belly, and his front team had already left Huanxi Ridge.
He also sent scouts to investigate, but of course he didn't probe carefully, because in Hao Shaoqi's heart, he thought that this place was still within the range of their strength, and there would be no enemy army coming, but negligence caused serious consequences.
The enemy army arrived in large numbers and gave Hao Shaoqi's army a sudden attack, and it was obvious that Hao Shaoqi and his soldiers were stunned at once. The enemy is still shouting that they want to capture Hao Shaoqi alive! This made Hao Shaoqi even more angry.
He wanted to destroy the Tartars, but he didn't expect the Tartars to come here to invite them, and they were still at their doorstep, under their noses, it was really intolerable! If you don't defeat them, you will still need this face in the future? Besides, it was unbearable to suffer a great humiliation in the first battle just now!
The generals around him said to Hao Shaoqi: "Oh no! Commander, the enemy has attacked us! Please come back soon! We should fight to the death to stop the enemy! ”
Hao Shaoqi was stunned, it is said that outside Shanhaiguan is still within their strength, why did the Qing army come when they said it? They didn't find out! And no wonder! Hao Shaoqi and the others were too careless, although they sent scouts, they didn't scout very carefully! Now that the enemy is suddenly coming, isn't this dumbfounded?
Someone else said, "Yes! The Lord will go quickly! The Shanhaiguan gate is too small, even if our reinforcements want to arrive, they can't arrive all at once! Please stay out of the way for a while! ”
Hao Shaoqi was so angry that he threw his helmet to the ground and shouted: "What is my nickname Hao Yongzhong?" Hao Shaoqi! In which charge did I not rush to the front? I've never been behind! Boys! Listen! We have been ordered by the King of Qi. Act as a vanguard army. Whenever you encounter an enemy, you should fight them to the end! Today, I will die here. I'm not taking a step back either! ”
Hao Shaoqi said, and raised the halberd, he waited for the enemy to come. With Hao Shaoqi's rise, the others are also shaking their spirits, and they want to fight to the death. After all, these are all old subordinates who have followed Hao Shaoqi for many years, and they are also people who have come alive from the knife's edge, what wind and waves have they not seen? Big deal, die! I really can't go back!
In this way, in front of Hao Shaoqi, a copper wall was formed. No matter how much the other party conflicts, it will not conflict.
And the other party is very smart, under the sudden attack, they obtained Hao Shaoqi's Daxu, which is considered to be done, and they don't say much, just go back and leave.
And Hao Shaoqi's composure also calmed the whole army, and they found that the enemy army was not large, at most a thousand cavalry, but this thousand cavalry was unusually elite and familiar with the terrain.
Those who had fought many times with the Manchus would certainly recognize where these men were. These were the Bayala soldiers, the most elite army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In the past, when Dolgon led his troops into the customs to aid Wu Sangui. They were stationed in the area of Huanxi Ridge, so they were familiar with the terrain here.
No wonder! A thousand people dare to appear at the enemy's doorstep, and they themselves are the most elite centaurs!
Hao Shaoqi became angry, and he immediately wanted to lead the whole army to hunt down and kill a thousand Baya soldiers, as long as the Baya soldiers were eliminated, the Manchu Qing would be angry, and the shame just now could be washed away.
Hao Shaoqi and others were attacked, and Pegasus had already reported to Li Yan. When Li Yan heard this, his heart tightened, he knew that it was impossible for a large army to arrive in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and there must not be many enemy soldiers near Huanxi Ridge, only the elite of the Qing army.
It is impossible for them to eliminate Hao Shaoqi, but there is one point, if they are a plan to lure the enemy, lure Hao Shaoqi and others over, and then set up an ambush to gather and annihilate, or defeat Hao Shaoqi's people, it will be bad!
Hao Shaoqi and others were defeated, and the army that was about to send troops just now was a big blow, and it was unfavorable to send troops, and no one wanted to suffer such a setback! But now it seems that such misfortune is about to befall you.
Li Yan rushed to the horse, he had to persuade Hao Shaoqi to stop, and he couldn't let Hao Shaoqi do anything stupid.
Li Yan walked all the way, seeing that the soldiers were constantly going out of the customs, the previous general shouted for people to let go, others knew that Lu Dao was a big man who wanted to get out of the customs, of course, he took the initiative to give way to let Li Yan pass.
Li Yan is galloping all the way, ignoring nothing, he looked at the front and went, his mount was fortunately a fast horse, if it was a horse, it would not be easy to catch up with Hao Shaoqi, who was also galloping.
Li Yan had reached the end of Hao Shaoqi's army, and he shouted: "Stop! Stop me! Don't chase it! ”
When the people behind saw it, some of them didn't know Li Yan, after all, many of the soldiers were newly recruited.
Only some veterans and generals could recognize Li Yan, they were all surprised, why did Li Junshi chase after him? When they knew that they were going to stop the pursuit, they didn't dare to slack off, and they wanted to chase Hao Shaoqi to warn Hao Shaoqi not to chase anymore. After all, this is Li Junshi's order, how can you not obey it?
From behind, the voice was delivered: "Stop the pursuit!" From back to back, Hao Shaoqi heard it, he couldn't help but be stunned, he looked into the distance, and didn't understand: "Stop pursuing?" Why do you stop the pursuit? Who gave the order? ”
The doubts in his heart are doubts, Hao Shaoqi still ordered not to pursue, he was afraid that something would happen, since the Manchu Qing dared to boldly send a thousand people to ambush at Huanxi Ridge outside the Shanhai Pass, would there be a loss in the pass? If that were the case, it would be a big bad situation! Beware!
Waiting, waiting for Li Yan to come. Li Yan gasped, he came over to persuade Hao Shaoqi, so that Hao Shaoqi could no longer pursue.
Both of them are old people of the Dashun Army, and other people's words, maybe Hao Shaoqi doesn't want to listen to them, but Li Yan's words still have to be listened to.
Hao Shaoqi was no longer convinced, he had to order the whole army to settle down and take strict precautions in case the enemy attacked.
Li Yan sent someone to inquire about the situation, and he got the latest news, the Qing army really ambushed an army in front, and only waited for the reckless Hao Shaoqi to rush to annihilate Hao Shaoqi! Fortunately, Li Yan was in time, otherwise, it would have been too late.
It's just that as soon as the vanguard soldier came out of Shanhaiguan, he was dismounted by the enemy, and he said in his heart how unhappy he was, so naturally how unhappy he was.
The matter was reported to Zhang Biwu, and when Zhang Biwu heard it, he was very unhappy, but he knew that he couldn't blame Hao Shaoqi, how to say that the enemy boldly sent an army, many people couldn't expect it! Why blame Hao Shaoqi?
Zhang Biwu just sent people to encourage Hao Shaoqi and others, and said that there was nothing to do with temporary setbacks, and they could ask the enemy for repayment on the battlefield in the future. At the same time, Zhang Biwu also gave a reward, he wanted to kill the enemy bravely by not blaming the past and allowing them to move forward with shame.
Of course, Zhang Biwu was going to go out in person, he only left Gu Yanwu and the others, and said that there was something important to discuss with Qin Huaiyu. After all, the day of the expedition is approaching day by day, and for Hao Shaoqi and others to be frustrated, of course he knows that he has to send troops as soon as possible.
Originally, the planned combat strategy was that the vanguard army arrived in the Songjin area first, after all, there were no people in the area, since Wu Sangui took people away, there were fewer people here, although they returned later, but there were not many people who could come back after all. Another point, the Ming army and the Qing army have been fighting here for many years, how many people can there be here?
The population is naturally scarce, and both sides regard this place as a vacuum zone, so the place from Shanhaiguan to Songjin is uninhabited for thousands of miles, and there is no need to carry out any tug-of-war here.
So the good news of the vanguard army arrived, they had advanced to the city of Ningyuan, and it would not take long to recover Ningyuan.
Zhang Biwu didn't like this kind of attitude, after all, I don't know what else the Qing army will do! And his army hadn't been dispatched yet, so he didn't want to make any mistakes.
Zhang Biwu sent an envoy to persuade them not to rush forward, in case something unexpected happened!
At this time, Zhang Biwu regretted a little, why did he choose Hao Shaoqi and others as pioneers? In case they fail, the morale will be shaken, and this battle to destroy the Qing will increase the variables.
Zhang Biwu didn't dare to do anything, he stood up and was ready to go on the expedition, and now he wanted to go to his wife and children and say goodbye to them, because a few days before the expedition, Zhang Biwu would move to the barracks and share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.
Zhang Biwu arrived at Qin Huaiyu's place, and Dai Lisi was also here! Including Li Xiangjun, Zhang Biwu and Li Xiangjun had a three-year agreement before, and now Li Xiangjun is Zhang Biwu's concubine.
Li Xiangjun was not as reluctant as Dai Lisi and Qin Huaiyu, although she and Zhang Biwu had just been together, but she still wanted Zhang Biwu to eliminate the Manchu Qing and completely end this great evil.
Zhang Biwu walked towards Dai Lisi, and Dai Lisi still had opinions about Zhang Biwu and Li Xiangjun before, but didn't she have to compromise after the end? What can be done about this?
Annoyed and annoyed, when Zhang Biwu wants to stay away from her family and go to the battlefield in person, she still doesn't want to let Zhang Biwu go, what if she doesn't want to? Don't you have to go? In the end, it was just a long sigh and a resentful gaze.
Of course, Zhang Biwu knew what to say, he said: "Wow! Such a powerful Delis will also have times when she is afraid! I don't think I'm not attractive, and I won't come back when I get to Liaodong, right? Ha Lu Ha! Isn't the beautiful and confident Delis not afraid of anything? ”
Delis rolled up her sleeves, looked like a woman, and said, "You dare! This caused Zhang Biwu to laugh, give a thumbs up and say, "Okay!" That's you! Delis! ”
Dai Lisi was stunned and said, "Okay! You play with me! You haven't died! "When she puts her hands on her waist, she looks like a tigress.
Zhang Biwu was used to seeing it, and he didn't have anything to fear, just smiled. At the same time, he saw Qin Huaiyu being carefree, looking like a mother. (To be continued......)
