Chapter 478: Good News Arrives
Therefore, the artillery of the Jiannu people, at least in Liaodong, is no worse than the military horses of Liaodong.
Moreover, the Jiannu people were extremely able to take advantage of the role of artillery on the battlefield.
They don't let it go, they see the right moment to put it on.
All of a sudden, the cannon sounded, and all of a sudden, the Shenji Battalion in the car formation became even more panicked.
Some people shrank behind the chariot formation, shivering, and as the countless cavalry drew nearer, some began to break away from their posts.
Some of the military attachΓ©s ran away.
The soldiers were at a loss for what to do.
Finally, a cavalryman jumped into the chariot formation, and immediately raised his sword to kill.
All of a sudden, the car array was in chaos.
Hong Chengchou, who was living in the car array, was already shocked.
Changing his previous calmness, he realized at this time that he had thought of the enemy too simply.
In fact, Hong Chengchou in history is probably the same, he started by suppressing the rogues, he has countless resources in his hands, in the face of those who don't even have weapons, he comes and goes like the wind, and every battle must be defeated, and he is familiar with the tactics of the rogues, and he can often anticipate the enemy's opportunities, so he is valued by the imperial court.
But when he really faced Jiannu, he was defeated again and again in Liaodong, and finally put himself in, the original many so-called strategies and art of war, what night attacks, what help...... Basically none of the fire attacks are used, and they are beaten almost everywhere.
At this time, in the face of the overwhelming number of Jiannu people, several military attachΓ©s around him had already fled.
Hong Chengchou saw the chaos in front of him again, so he beat his heart and said: "Shame, shame, all the armies, the time has come to kill yourself." β
His words finally made many people inspired by him, and they tried to plug the gap that was broken by the Jiannu people one after another.
But soon, the swarming Jiannu army rushed in, entered the car formation, and began to kill at will.
After a short time, Hong Chengchou was tied up.
Then, he was escorted to a Jiannu man on a horse.
The one leading the horse in front of this Jiannu man is a Han man, but Fan Wencheng.
The Jiannu people rode on a tall horse, looked at Hong Chengchou condescendingly, and said proudly: "This is that Hong Chengchou, Ben Khan has heard of your name, and since you are defeated today, why don't you surrender me!" β
Hong Chengchou was furious and scolded: "I was born as a Ming minister and died as a Ming ghost." The general of the defeated army today has no face to see the parents of heaven and earth, and only wants to die. β
The people on the horse kept frowning, and said in a rough voice: "In the words of you Han people, this is the mandate of heaven, the so-called mandate of heaven cannot be violated, and now, do you still want to resist?" Life and death are big things, and when people die, there is nothing left. β
Hong Chengchou howled and cried, "Kill me...... Kill me, although I, Hong Chengchou, was defeated, my bones were still hard. β
The person on the horse had a tense face and sneered: "Cheap dog." β
was going to kill Hong Chengchou.
But at this time, Fan Wencheng, who was leading the horse in front, spoke: "Master, let's take a step to speak." β
This person got off the horse very unhappily, and walked quickly into the distance, this person is Dolgon, this time he entered the pass, it was the spring breeze that was proud, and today he besieged and killed a military horse from the Beijing Division, this military horse is already elite for the Ming Dynasty, therefore, at this time he is satisfied.
Fan Wencheng followed behind him, and after standing still, Dolgon frowned and said, "What, what do you have to say?" β
Fan Wencheng was one step away from Dolgon, leaning forward, looking extremely respectful.
This Fan Wencheng is actually just a showman, after Nurhachi took Shenyang, he took the initiative to go to the meeting and expressed his willingness to work for him, so Nurhachi was quite important to him.
At this time, Fan Wencheng has been working as a strategist, giving advice to his masters, and today is the time for him to show his skills.
At this time, he said in a firm tone: "Master, this person will definitely descend." β
Dolgon raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but say, "Don't you see that he dares to insult me, would you rather let me kill him?" β
Fan Wencheng said: "Didn't the master pay attention? Although he scolded loudly, but he only wanted to die, but he didn't dare to insult his master, and only kept saying that he was ashamed of the Ming Emperor, isn't this intention obvious? He's got a lot of leeway. β
Speaking of this, he glanced up at Hong Chengchou in the distance, and said unhurriedly: "In addition, although the slave saw that he was tied, he still paid attention to his clothes, and always subconsciously wanted to reach out to pick up his clothes, but he was tied up, so it was extremely awkward!" Master, if a person really wants to die, how can he still value these things? According to the minion, not only does he not want to die, but he also wants to live well! β
Dorgon nodded secretly, but frowned very puzzledly: "But why does he look like he wants to die?" β
A disdainful smile flashed on Fan Wencheng's lips, and then he said, "Master, these scholars in the pass have always been like this. According to me, he has two thoughts, and at this time he puts on a loyal appearance, so as to show that he is a man with a backbone, so that even if he is lowered in the future, he will be able to get by in face, and in the future, the master will at least not suspect that he is a slave with three surnames. β
"Second, he knows that his identity is important, if it falls, it will inevitably hit the Ming monarchs and ministers in the capital very hard, so now he deliberately refuses to surrender, in fact, there is also the meaning of asking for a price, the master is now just saying that he will not kill him, but he did not say that when he descends, what courtesy will he give him, is it a knight, or what is an official? Naturally, he couldn't easily agree. What they value most is Corporal Lixian, and they look at the thatched house three times, so that it seems that the master is the master, and they also gain face. β
Dorgon was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "This has so many things. β
Fan Wencheng suddenly felt like Dolgon was also scolding himself, but he still smiled and said, "Isn't this a cheap bone?" Well, the master will leave the matter to the minions, and the minions will be able to persuade him to surrender. β
Dolgon snorted coldly, "Tell him, give him a day, and if he does not come down, I will cut him off, and lift his head for ten thousand horses to trample on." I'm impatient, you know. β
Dolgon's gaze was cold, and Fan Wencheng nodded busily.
Speaking of which, this new master is really different from Huang Taiji, the old master of Huang Taiji, who has a strategic mind, can hide things in his heart, and has done superficial work.
But Dolgon was different, and Dolgon's temperament was as he himself said, and if he provoked him, he would really kill someone.
So Fan Wencheng smiled, but he was confident.
It's night.
When Hong Chengchou arrived at Dolgon's tent and saw Dolgon, he immediately bowed down and said, "Slave Hong Chengchou, I have seen the new master." β
Dolgon only sat cross-legged, looked at him, and said lightly, "Aren't you unwilling to descend?" β
Hong Chengchou was a little embarrassed, what he was expecting did not come.
After all, he was unlucky, Dolgon was not the emperor, and he didn't play the trick of three visits to the thatched house.
So Fan Wencheng only told him two things, if he was demoted, he could be a third-class chief military officer, and if he didn't surrender, he would die.
Hong Chengchou still didn't keep his integrity after all, and scolded a few more words, seeing that the time limit was coming, he immediately borrowed a set of Jiannu clothes from Fan Wencheng, wearing a melon skin hat and a leather jacket, and finally came here with a little apprehension and some expectations.
Kneeling here, facing Dolgon's yin and yang weirdness, he had no choice but to say: "Good birds choose trees to perch, good ministers choose masters, slaves listen to Fan Gong said, master, you are magnanimous, you are the master, although the slave is talentless, today you have to meet the master, and you should serve as a dog and horse." β
So saying, he kept prostrating.
It's a pity that the melon skin hat on his head is actually not suitable for people with long hair and buns like Hong Chengchou, only the Jiannu who shaves his head wears it.
So Hong Chengchou, who had no hat, felt ashamed like a shelled egg, or like a woman who had stripped naked, so he hurriedly picked up the hat and put it on.
When he continued to kowtow, his hat fell off again, and he hurriedly put it back on.
Dolgon looked at him, only felt ridiculous, there was no warmth in his eyes, only smiled coldly: "In this case, then it will be effective." β
"Slaves have something to tell each other." Hong Chengchou said suddenly.
Dolgon looked at him and said indifferently, "Let's hear it." β
So Hong Chengchou hurriedly said: "This time the slave led the army, escorted a lot of officials and dependents along the way, this official family is enough to hundreds of people, master, when you led the army here, I only sent a team of people to escort them to continue south." Now, I'm afraid that I haven't gone far, if the master sends a team of iron cavalry to pursue at this time, those officials and dependents will definitely be able to catch them all. β
Obviously, he was in a hurry to surrender.
At this time, he raised his head and smiled hard, before he said: "These officials and dependents, many of them have brought soft and gold and silver, and there are many dependents, quite graceful, if they can work the army, comfort the soldiers from afar, or relieve the homesickness of the soldiers." β
Dolgon finally had a different reaction, and immediately said with a blazing gaze: "Come on, give me a pursuit." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the city, when the letters of the enemy reached the capital.
The capital couldn't help but worry again, and all of a sudden, everyone was filled with a tense atmosphere.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse immediately summoned the ministers and took out the letters that Hong Chengchou had repaired when he met the enemy and circulated them to the ministers.
However, there are also people who are happy in their suffering, and it is Li Jiantai, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, who speaks, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty don't have to worry, didn't Hong Gong already say it clearly?" This is his strategy to lure the enemy, Hong Gong is a person, he has no last resort, and this plan to build slaves will be successful. β
Although he said this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.
You know, his wife and children, but also in this time, entrusted to Hong Chengchou together, originally wanted Hong Chengchou to take them to Zhuozhou, and when they got there, they didn't have to worry about building slaves.
But at this time, he believed Hong Chengchou even more: "I'm afraid that soon, there will be good news!" β
