3-46 Capture Dolgon

The cavalry of the Ming army that came from a long distance did not immediately attack, but stopped in the distance to rest, the war horses need to accumulate strength, the soldiers need to arrange the formation, 6 The Ming army that continued to arrive more and more, and gradually formed the trend of Mount Tai to the top, the Qing army on the opposite side obviously felt the pressure, there was a strong city in front of the chasing army, everyone knew that the successive defeats had already hit the army's heart like a sieve full of holes.

Suke Saha sighed and said to Aobai: "It seems that the good sons and daughters of the Qing Dynasty are going to die today, General Ao, you hurry up and protect Prince Rui and go, as long as the prince is here, Daqing has the hope of making a comeback." ”

Ao Bai glanced deeply at Suke Saha, who had cultivated a tacit understanding between them after many years of fighting side by side, and he knew that this general who had climbed up from Niu Lu Ezhen step by step with his military exploits had made up his mind to die.

Ao Bai pressed his hand on Su Ke Saha's shoulder and shook it vigorously: "Please leave it to you here, the prince and I are waiting for you to come back in the capital." After saying that, he turned his horse and left, without even looking back. Having experienced a hundred battles, he also knew that the failure of the second southern expedition was a foregone conclusion.

The cloud ladder soldiers who were besieging the city were in a state of confusion, and the formation was smashed to pieces by a fierce rolling log and stone on the city wall, and the leader of the team shouted hoarsely: "Up! Hurry up! "But the soldiers began to retreat slowly, and now it was useless to storm the city, and reinforcements had arrived.

The people in the city thundered with joy, everyone had tears in their eyes, and finally held the city of Jinan at a huge price, and victory was in sight. Liu Ziguang carried the wounded Addison on his back and climbed into the city from the east gate, and hurriedly returned to the south gate to preside over the work after placing the wounded.

Seeing Liu Ziguang's safe return, everyone cheered again, and after discussing with several company commanders and thousands of households, everyone decided to go out of the city to meet the attack and use cavalry to sweep the cloud ladder soldiers.

After the city gate was opened, first two shotguns were fired out to open the way, then the ballista swept the remaining arrows towards the ladder soldiers like a splash of wind, and then the people of the death camp and the cavalry mixed with the iron guards, Liu Ziguang took the lead in wielding a big knife, chasing the ladder soldiers with rattan short knives, where is the opponent of the cavalry, thousands of people were driven by hundreds of horses like ducks to flee everywhere.

After a short rest, the Ming army blew the horn, the cavalry attacked in three ways, the Qing army experienced several defeats, the cavalry was left with little left, and could only shrink into several circular formations for defense, as for the siege troops sent out earlier, Suke Saha could not take care of them anymore, the battlefield was chaotic, the signal transmission was not smooth, and they could only fight separately.

The city of Jinan reproduced the scene of the battle under the city of Liguo a few months ago, and a large-scale battle was hastily kicked off, Liu Ziguang led his subordinates to find those infantry and small groups of cavalry to start, and they came and went freely on the battlefield, like a fish in water.

Dolgon suffered a double blow of body and spirit in a row, and had fallen ill on the Thousand Buddha Mountain, and the earth-shattering killing sound outside alarmed him, and he dragged the sick body out to see that it had become a pot of porridge outside, and Ao Bai hurried over with a team of soldiers.

"Lord Wang, the general trend has gone, let's go." Ao Bai got down on one knee and pleaded.

"Don't go! There are still tens of thousands of troops under the Lone King, and they can still fight. Dolgon did not want to face the reality of defeat, in fact, he also knew that many soldiers had deserted along the way from the defeat of Tai'an, and now the number of soldiers capable of fighting was much lower than the number of Ming troops.

"Look, lord!" Ao Bai pointed to the situation under the mountain and said, "Eight thousand soldiers and horses can't beat Jinan City in turn, now the Ming cavalry has come up, and there is also a large group of people and horses marching in the east and west directions. Seeing that Dolgon was still hesitating, Ao Bai said in an accentuated tone: "Lord, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, there are still so many people and horses in the capital, if you have a mistake, what should the emperor do?" What about the Queen Mother? ”

Dolgon took out a clairvoyant mirror and looked down the mountain, and saw that the Ming army was in strict shape, with a clear banner, and the Qing army was cut into several parts and was being surrounded and annihilated, and the Qing army only Suke Saha's Chinese army Daxu was still standing, and the other troops were completely dispersed and slaughtered by the Ming army.

"Let's go!" Dolgon slammed the clairing mirror, spitting out a mouthful of blood and staining the gray beard on his chin. Seeing that the prince was sick again, Ao Bai waved his hand, and the soldiers on both sides rushed up, wrapped Dolgon with a cloak, and carried him down the mountain, and it was too late to pack up his things in a hurry, and a group of people came down from the mountain in embarrassment, and left in the desert under the escort of the cavalry of the Rui King's personal guard guarding the mountain.

The sound of killing gradually faded away, Dolgon shed a muddy old tear in the bumpy car, two fiascos in just four months, both father and son were defeated at the hands of Yuan Chonghuan, is it really God who wants to kill me in the Qing Dynasty?

As if to match Dolgon's sad mood, a light rain fell from the sky, and the convoy hurried and panicked, leaving a mess of ruts and horseshoe prints in the wheat fields, and finally escaped from the battlefield and fled all the way north, and the panicked soldiers did not notice that a group of cavalry was already following the ruts.

The benefits of the bumpy carriage, Dolgon's chest was full of blood and blood, and a fishy sweetness came out of his throat, he hurriedly grabbed a piece of silk and covered it to his mouth, dark red blood came out of the gap in the silk, his body was getting worse and worse, the bombing under Yanzhou City was not light, and even affected his old injuries from a few years ago, coupled with Fan Wencheng's death and the spiritual blow of losing his armor and the defeat of the army, he felt that the Yuan Shen seemed to have been drained, and it was a question whether he could return to Beijing alive.

"Come here." Dolgon stretched out his hand out of the window and beckoned to Aobai, who was walking outside the car, "Lord, the last will be there." Ao Bai gently flicked the horse, and it was closer to the carriage, and the red cherry blossoms on the iron helmet were soaked with rain, and the water droplets fell along the edge of the helmet on Dolgon's hand on the car window, cold.

"Aobai, if there is anything unexpected about this king, the white flag will be handed over to you, the emperor is young, his ears are soft, and he is easy to be bewitched by traitors, you have to be loyal to the emperor, loyal to the queen mother, and protect me for thousands of years. This is the seal of the owner of the white flag, and you hold it. These words are a bit of a last word, Aobai's face is shining, I don't know if it's rain or tears, "Lord Wang, the last general will give up this life to ensure that you arrive in the capital safely, the owner of the white flag will always be you, the prince!" ”

"Take it, you are still a Baturu, you have been born and died with this king for so many years, why are you still such a mother-in-law!" Dolgon reprimanded, and in a hurry, another mouthful of dark blood spat out, staining the golden seal of the white flag with blood.

"Don't be angry, the last general will take it." Seeing Dolgon's anger, Ao Bai didn't dare to refuse, and reached out to take the gold seal stained with the blood of the prince.

Dolgon let out a sigh of relief and lay back in the car, "If this king remembers correctly, there is a temple of Emperor Guan twenty miles further on, and there is a park there." ”

There is a Guandi temple in the north of Jinan city fifty miles, the small temple in disrepair stands on the side of the road, a wind and rain fluttering, dilapidated look, the convoy temporarily stopped in front of the temple gate, Dolgon got off the carriage under the support of Goshha, in just a few days, a member of the old and strong tiger general became this appearance, it was really sick like a mountain.

Dolgon shook off Goshha's support, calmed down, and ordered: "You guys take a break, this king wants to pay homage to Guan Erye alone." After speaking, he walked into the temple alone with staggering steps.

A few Goshha were scattered on the left side of the temple and on guard, others hurried to feed the horses, and some people lit a small stove to boil medicine for the prince, this place was already a certain distance from the battlefield, and there were no villages around, they couldn't help but relax their vigilance. Unbeknownst to them, the cavalry that followed them was already hiding in the nearby woods.

Liu Ziguang led his subordinates to rush left and right, specially packed up small fish and shrimp, and felt that it was not enjoyable after slaughtering hundreds of people, so he remembered that Rui Wang Ye still owed him a pair of boots, and after arresting a Qing army petty officer and tortured him, he learned that Dolgon was recuperating on the Thousand Buddha Mountain, and a group of people rushed up the mountain but now there were already people who went to the empty building, followed the trail all the way, and finally found Dolgon's convoy, at this moment they were hiding in the small woods south of the Guandi Temple, the sound of wind and rain covered the traces of this group of amateur hunters, Liu Ziguang hid behind a big tree, Observing the situation with a clairvoyant: "There are almost three hundred people in total, all of them cavalry, and they are resting now, what is Dolgon doing in that broken house alone?" ”

"Maybe it's shelter from the rain, there are more Tartars than us, what should we do?" Zhong Shouyong, a tracking master, asked.

There were only more than 100 cavalry with Liu Ziguang, and the rest of them were scattered in the chaotic army, although the brothers were all heroes, but the other party was not stubble, all of them had big shoulders and round waists, and they were obviously the prince's personal soldiers.

"If you can't attack, we'll outwit you, you wait here and watch me capture Dolgon alive." Liu Ziguang took out a thin green felt from under the saddle and draped it on his body, and pasted some mud on the felt, all as camouflage camouflage, he quietly avoided the Qing army's surveillance post and slipped towards the back wall of the Guandi Temple.

The sentry of the Qing army was really negligent, and the sight behind wearing a big hat was not good, and Liu Ziguang actually touched the back wall of the Guandi Temple smoothly, and there was a big hole in the back wall where foxes and wild dogs entered and exited, he touched the texture of the earthen wall, which had been soaked in rain and softened, Liu Ziguang gently expanded the hole in the wall while listening to the sound inside.

"Starling, five years have passed, it seems to be spring at that time, and it is also raining, our southern expedition failed, you were injured by Yuan Chonghuan's dark arrow, and on the way to retreat, you also rested in this small temple to avoid the rain, speaking of which, I should really thank Yuan Chonghuan, if it weren't for his arrow, I would really not be easy to succeed, starling, you are so powerful, you can resist my thunderous blow if you are hit by an arrow, but you are old after all, and you still die under my knife, starling, you don't blame me, in order to save the lives of Yu'er and Fulin, as well as the reputation of our Qing Dynasty, I can only do this, if I don't do it, then after returning to the capital, our mother's life will not be saved. Starling, starling, you have snatched too many things that belong to me, my father Khan originally wanted to pass on the position to me, but you took it away, "Yu'er was originally my childhood sweetheart's lover, but she was also taken away by you, and Fulin, that is obviously my biological son, but I want to call you the emperor, and it is natural for my fourteenth to take back what belongs to me." ”

This gloomy inner monologue obviously came from the mouth of the prince of Daqingrui, Liu Ziguang, who had already made up the Manchu language, listened to seventy-seven eighty-eight, and roughly understood the meaning, just as the hole in the earthen wall was big enough, he quietly arched in under the cover of the rain, and then lowered his voice and hummed in a strange manner: "Old Fourteen, give me back my life~~~"

"Who?" Dolgon's heart sank, the starling made such a hoarse and low voice when he was dying, could it be that the starling is haunted and has been waiting for me here?

Dolgon pressed his hand to the hilt of the knife, suddenly let go again, and sneered: "I'm still afraid of ghosts when I'm dying, even if you don't come to ask for my life, I won't be able to live for too long, now I want to open, the most ruthless emperor's family, who called us all the sons of the father Khan, if it's just an ordinary hunter outside the gate, where is there still a lot of things, the throne, women, Jiangshan Sheji, are all a greed, our brothers are all defeated in too greed, if it weren't for the old worry about the flower world in the south of the Yangtze River and repeated southern expeditions, it wouldn't have been so miserable, Starling, come and take my life, the fourteenth brother is willing to accompany you in this small temple, just like when I was a child when I accompanied you to hunt. ”

Dolgon's hands drooped, his eyes were closed, two lines of tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, and his old face was like an ordinary Manchu old man, and he couldn't find the majesty of the old man who fought in the south and the north.

A sigh, "You've finally come to your senses, but it's too late." "This sentence is said in Chinese, not good! There are outsiders! Dolgon hurriedly stretched out his hand to draw the knife, but he was seriously ill and was no match for the person in front of him, and before he could even touch the handle of the knife, he was slashed on the neck by a hand knife and fainted, and the last thing he saw was Liu Ziguang's hideous face.

Ao Bai knew that Rui Wang Ye was alone with the emperor who died here five years ago, so he was not in a hurry to urge him to hurry, but half an hour had passed, the prince had not come out yet, and the chasing soldiers of the Ming army were about to arrive.
