Section 7 Courage
Seeing that Hu Yining was safe and sound, Huang Shi was very happy in his heart, and there is a way that "many friends, many roads...... Yellowstone has been a staunch enforcer of this statement. He didn't think that Changsheng Island alone would be able to overcome the difficulties in the future, and he never intended to do so. In the past, Huangshi tried his best to get along with both the Shandong civil official group and the Dongjiang friendly army.
Although the friendly forces this time are a bit obscene, but the friendly forces are friendly forces after all, Huang Shi still intends to unite them as much as possible to establish friendly relations. Moreover, what Guan Ning Tieqi said just now also strengthened Huangshi's inherent view: that is, as long as Guan Ning Tieqi seriously kills the enemy, fights honestly, and doesn't ponder "dead friends don't die and poor Dao" all day long, then they are not completely ineffective.
After the first battle of Yaozhou, Ma Shilong had already lost power, and with Huangshi thinking about it, the five general soldiers of the Guanning Army, except for the general soldiers of Ningyuan and Mangui, the remaining generals such as Yang Qi were basically finished. This time the battle of Juehua was won, and so many levels were killed, and Huang Shi estimated that the three Guan Ning generals who cooperated with him this time would be promoted. All three of them can be promoted to the general army, and it is naturally best that even if everyone can't be promoted to the general soldier, at least the promotion to the deputy general is still very promising.
As long as one general soldier and two deputy generals can be promoted, Huangshi feels that he will be able to make friends with Guan Ningjun in the future. Besides, Juehua and three guerrillas will definitely not be able to get their share of the credit this time. After this battle, the relationship between the Changsheng Island army and these generals can be said to be extraordinary, and even if they are transferred to Liaoxi as an errand in the future, Huangshi is not afraid of being completely hollowed out.
When Hu Yining returned to the team, Huang Shi's horsepower also recovered, and he personally led the team to continue to search north, and found some stragglers sporadically along the way. In order to save horsepower, Huangshi and the internal guards were all leading horses and walking nearly a thousand Guanning officers and soldiers, and naturally they did the same. Anyway, people will not be too tired when they take a few more steps, and once they reach a crisis, horsepower can determine the outcome of life and death.
Huang Shi sent the stragglers back to Juehua as he walked, most of these people did not have horses, and it was not easy for the cavalry of the Houjin Brigade to take them to escape if they encountered them. However, if they could not be taken away from the battlefield alive, then why did Huang Shi take the risk of fighting this battle? Although Huang Shi was leading his horse on foot, he also deliberately walked ahead of the army, so that those saved Guan Ning soldiers could see the banner of Changsheng Island.
Naturally, these soldiers knew in their hearts who had saved their lives. There are these people who have oral traditions, and there are naturally many more volunteer advertisers in the Guanning Army. After walking a few miles, Huangshi had already gathered three or four hundred stragglers, and after thanking them for their kindness, they all embarked on the way home, and walked towards the south in pairs of threes and threes.
Huangshi remembered that in history, Ningyuan Fort was foolproof. Therefore, after the four fort gates were tightly sealed, three days after the Jin army left, Yuan Chonghuan recruited a few "dead soldiers" from the defenders of Ningyuan Fort, and reported them from the city to Shanhaiguan. Now, if you want the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry in Ningyuan Fort to open the gate of the fort, you really don't know what year and month it will have to wait, so Huang Shi instructed these soldiers not to waste time to go to Ningyuan Fort to call the door. Juehua's Zhao Tongju should have cooked the soup, hot rice, and returned to Juehua immediately.
Huang Shi also remembers the scene when he went to Jinzhou in July, when he had become the deputy general of southern Liaoning, and went to Jinzhou to check the preparations for the attack on Fuzhou. Tens of thousands of people in the interior of Jinzhou Fort poured into the streets to greet them. Although half a year has passed since the Battle of Nanguan, the gratitude of those military households who were saved because of Huangshi has not only not faded, but has become stronger and stronger like old wine. There are so many military households in Fort Golden State. Every family has a monument to the immortality of Huangshi, and at that time, looking at tens of thousands of faces cheering at him, Huang Shi couldn't help but think - after pacifying Liaodong, it is also very good to live a lifetime in southern Liaoning.
After Hu Yining returned to the team, he said that he would not change back to the general's armor, when everyone advised him to pay attention to his image just now. General Hu Shen shouted in a loud voice: "I ran away, I changed into the clothes of a soldier." This is all under the sun and moon, even if you change your clothes back, it's just a cover-up and stealing the bell, but ......"
General Hu Shen stretched out his hands and confessed to Huangshi with his thumb: "But as soon as the last general saw the heroic appearance of Huang Junmen, he was also bold, and his courage came back." Thinking of me, the Hu family has also been a generalist for 150 years, hating himself for not dying on the battlefield just now, and shamed his ancestors in vain. Now the last general is to wear the clothes of this little soldier and follow Huang Junmen to kill him, seven in and seven out, this is called painful reform, this is called shame and courage!"
Hu Yining, who is now dressed in a small soldier's clothes, is holding a horse in his left hand and a horse pistol in his right hand, and walks closely behind Huang Shi, looking like a follower. However, General Hu Shen, who was ashamed and brave, was not only not afraid of being looked at by others, but also had a complacent smile on his face. Just now someone asked why Huang Shi didn't ride a horse, and when he was blown by General Hu Shen, he blew his beard and glared at him: "Huang Junmen is to save horsepower, why don't you even understand such a thing? In case you meet the old thief Nurhachi, wouldn't it be a pity if the old slave escaped because of Huang Junmen's lack of horsepower?"
Huang Shi couldn't help but laugh secretly when he heard this, saving horsepower is good, but the purpose of saving horsepower is obviously not to chase the enemy. If General Hu Shen's crow mouth hits the mouth, and he really encounters Nurhachi's main force, then Huangshi will definitely flee in the wilderness. This truth is yellow
Shi felt that Hu Yining also understood in his heart, but it was not bad for him to say so, at least it could boost morale, so Huangshi also left him.
Thousands of troops marched forward slowly, and it didn't take long to arrive at a place less than a few miles away from Lianshan Fort, and in the early hours of this morning, the place of battle between the Jin army's rearguard and Juehua's Guanning army was not far from here, and General Jin was probably defeated north of Lianshan Fort. When the Ming outpost crossed the last ridge and stepped into the valley in front of Lianshan Fort, he suddenly saw a large number of Houjin officers and soldiers. This took the vanguard of the Dongjiang Army by surprise, because they did not have any post-Jin sentinels along the way, so they took it for granted that the Houjin army had stayed away from here.
The Ming army pursued from Ningyuan Fort, and Huang Shi felt that those Jin cavalry who had escaped from the ground would not tell the whereabouts of their troops. Even if the opponent wants to ambush him, he must definitely send someone to reconnoiter his own military strength, so along the way, since not a single probe horse has seen Huangshi, he cherishes the horsepower and does not send a long-range reconnaissance team.
At first glance, Jin Jun was in front of him, and Huang Shi was so surprised that he couldn't speak. This was very inconsistent with his many years of experience in fighting in southern Liaoning, and he had never seen the Houjin army so careless before. After the outpost reported, the Jin army did not have many cavalry, and had already made an attack on the Ming army's Tanma, and Huang Shi immediately ordered the whole army to mount and gallop to the outpost.
After the Yellowstone army rushed close to the valley. The sight in front of him shocked him even more. The valley was densely strewn with the bodies of hundreds of Ming soldiers, most of them with their heads facing south, apparently caught up and killed in the rout. In front of him, there are hundreds of soldiers of the Houjin Army who are searching for loot and cutting off human heads in the valley. These Houjin troops suddenly saw the Ming army that appeared at the mouth of the valley. They were all stunned at once, and the dozens of Houjin soldiers who rushed to the valley mouth and were about to attack the Ming army's Tanma were also speechless when they saw the Ming army's huge column.
Although the Houjin army was cleaning the battlefield, there were more than 400 people, but there were only 100 armored soldiers among them, and the remaining 300 people were all newly attached Mongolian banners and Han people. Fight into the land west of the river. In the face of the Guanning army that fled after hearing the news, the vigilance of the Houjin army was constantly decreasing, although the battle of Juehua made the arrogance of the Houjin army somewhat restrained, but they still did not think that the Changsheng army had the courage to pursue it on a large scale.
In fact, their judgment was not wrong, and Huangshi really did not plan to pursue it in a big way. If it weren't for a group of important people falling into the enemy today, Huangshi would never have planned to take a step out of Juehua. And after defeating the pursuit of the Guanning army this morning, the Jianzhou army in charge of the rear guard also regained its former arrogance, and the fact that the Dongjiang army did not pursue also confirmed their initial judgment.
The cold winter in the northeast is so cold, and there are still so many trophies to be cleaned up on the battlefield, and after that, the Jin army no longer sends scout nets to the south. The two Niu Lu, who pursued Guan Ning's defeated troops to Ningyuan Fort on their own, died in the chaos. In order to evade responsibility, their men also greatly exaggerated the number of Huangshi troops, and reported to the Houjin commander that they had been ambushed by the infantry and artillery of the Dongjiang Army Brigade, but this did not arouse the vigilance of the Houjin rearguard troops in Lianshan Fort.
In the valley, these hundreds of people were newly annexed, Mongolian soldiers and Han Chinese were relatively poor, and they saw so many corpses of Ming soldiers. They rushed over to pick up the rags. The officers and soldiers of Houjin always thought that the Ming army was still twenty miles away, and when Ning Yuan saw the Dongjiang army sentry just now, he also thought it was a lone Ming army. Not at all taken seriously.
Huang Shi naturally didn't know these details, and suddenly he was a little overwhelmed by such a close encounter with the Houjin army, and as a result, Guan Ning Tieqi grabbed ahead of him. Hearing Hu Yining's shout, a spear flew out, and before Huang Shi could give the order, the troops of Guanning rushed through the two wings, followed by Hu Shen, and covered up the past.
In a blink of an eye, Huang Shi was now surrounded by the internal guards and Zhang Minghe's guards, and he stopped his eagerness, and his subordinates smiled and raised their whips and pointed in front of them: "Do you still need us to fight this battle?"
Not really...... The Houjin armor soldiers on the opposite side were only a hundred people in total, and the cavalry was probably not even thirty percent of them, and they were scattered in a large wasteland looking for the spoils of war, and the remaining bannermen and cloths had no combat experience, and they were even more tired and sweating after being busy for a long time. Nearly a thousand Guan Ning Iron rode bravely down the mountain tigers, Jiaolong who was like entering the sea, looked at the Ming army that appeared in front of them like heavenly soldiers and generals, and the Jin officers and soldiers were stunned for a moment, followed by all of them, shouting in unison, crying father, shouting mother, and running away.
Taking advantage of the time when the Guan Ning army was chasing the dead and chasing the north, Huang Shi ordered Neiwei Xun to disperse the intelligence network, just now his own judgment was wrong, and now the shape is already obvious, Houjin army did not go away, but also misjudged the situation. Since the two armies may have been very close, whoever first understands the situation will be in an advantageous position and will be able to seize the initiative on the battlefield.
......
Soon after, Lianshan Fort North.
In the morning, the red flag responsible for the broken flag has begun to go north, and from this afternoon, it will be the turn of the blue flag to be broken, and tomorrow it will be the white flag, and the three flags responsible for the guard will take turns to carry out the task of breaking the rear to ensure the safety of the army. On the official road, there was a small convoy of the Houjin army, and on both sides of the convoy were leisurely Houjin armored soldiers and horse teams, and the main blue flag and the white flag owner were also chatting leisurely.
Huang Taiji can sit in front of the warm carriage
There is no need to ride a horse and blow the wind here, but he insists on chatting with his fifth brother to relieve his boredom, and Gu Ertai not only refuses this kindness, but also likes to chat with his clever younger brother. Therefore, the two of them rode their horses together with a smile and laughter, surrounded by the guards of the two banner owners.
When the urgent report of the Ming army's pursuit came from behind him, the faces of Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji changed suddenly. The three of them were in charge of breaking the Houdi Beile, not without considering the possibility of the Ming army's pursuit, although Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai both thought that the possibility of Huangshi's pursuit was very small, but they still arranged a pocket formation. Only a positive red flag was left on the front to lure the enemy.
But the more than 3,000 Ming troops who came to pursue this morning were lightly routed by the Zhenghong Banner, and the tactical style of the Ming army was also obviously inconsistent with Huangshi's, and the three Baylors knew very well that there was no Dongjiang Army among them. In the end, the three of them all decided that this was definitely not a battle commanded by Huangshi, in order to be safe. Dai Shan also sent a few white armor to follow and pursue, and there was no sign of Dongjiang troops along the way.
Just now, two defeated Niu Lu came back, and they reported encounters with a large number of artillery and infantry in Huangshi around Ningyuan Fort, and this news was basically in line with the strategic expectations of the three Baylors. They originally thought that after the retreat of the Later Jin Army, Huangshi might go to Ningyuanbao to join the Ming Army. The actions of the Dongjiang Army confirmed their judgment. Didn't Huangshi go into the city with a cannon?
But at present, the latest report of the troops overturned all previous predictions, and the panicked rear soldiers reported seeing Huangshi's snake banner, and Huangshi's cavalry was at least several thousand, and the distance from the Houjin rearguard troops was already within ten miles.
"Impossible! Where did so many people come from in Huangshi? I count Huangshi's head for him every day. How did I not know that he had several thousand cavalry?" Mang Gurtai turned pale, reached into his bosom and took out a small notebook that he had carried close to him for months. Sanbeile quickly dipped his index finger in his tongue, hurriedly flipped the little notebook to the page he was looking for, nervously recorded his fingers along the lines and dots, and quickly did another calculation in his mind.
After doing the math, Mang Gurtai shook his head. With a flick of his right hand, he flipped the little notebook to the first page, and at the same time put the thumb of his left hand into his mouth, and unconsciously gnawed his nails. Mang Gurtai looked at it intently, and the accusation of his hand on the small book trembled uncontrollably. Heavy breathing became more and more rapid, and the beard on his face shook faster and faster. Suddenly, he let out a loud roar of grief and indignation, and his tone was full of despair and injustice: "This number is not right! I said, I can't be mistaken, there are only six or seven hundred cavalry in Changsheng Island, where did the thousands of cavalry come from? Did Huangshi scatter beans into soldiers or did they pick them up from the roadside?"
Mang Gurtai grinned, his face flushed, and waved the small book in the air, Huang Taiji saw that he was so angry that tears appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly grabbed his arm and comforted: "Don't be like this, fifth brother, let's ask carefully, don't worry." ”
......
Several generals of the Guanning Army came back gasping for breath, and although they were very tired, each of them had excitement and excitement on their faces, especially Hu Yining. General Hu Shen can be regarded as turning over this time, the red tassel in front of the pistol is full of blood, and there are two human heads hanging on his waist. Hu Shen has not spoken since he returned, and he and the mount under his crotch have been wheezing violently, constantly swallowing white mist in the cold wind.
Jin Guan didn't have time to speak, he turned over and dismounted, sat on the ground, and sighed with satisfaction while stroking the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand: "The feeling of chasing people...... It's good, it's good. ”
This remark aroused the approval of several other old brothers of the Jin Shen General. Hu Yining seemed to want to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he burst out with a violent cough, and while he reached out to cover his mouth, he nodded desperately while his face was full of a look of concern.
The Houjin soldiers on both sides of the official road were either cut down or fled, and Huangshi was afraid of being counterattacked by the Houjin brigade, so he didn't dare to let them clean up the battlefield. Just after the Guan Ning army was gathered back to explore the horses, it confirmed Huangshi's worries, and the internal guards who reconnoitred forward had already appeared in the rear guard of the Houjin army, and the Houjin army had obviously noticed that they had sent a large number of Tanma in the direction of the Ming army.
"Ten miles ahead, there are already Jiannu blue flags and white flags, and there are about 1,000 cavalry about 1,000 people, and they are slowly approaching our army. When the guard reported to Yellowstone, there was a hint of worry in his brow.
However, before Huang Shi could speak, Zhang Guoqing on the side snorted coldly: "The light of the firefly candle dares to compete with the sun and the moon?
Although more than 200 heads were cut off in the battle just now, but in the final analysis, there were still more wolves and less meat, Zhang Guoqing failed to catch a few, he turned around and hugged Huangshi deeply: "The last general is willing to be the vanguard to kill the Tartars, and leave no armor!"
"Don't ......," Hu Yining finally took a breath, and he shouted: "Guerrilla Zhang, don't try to monopolize the great achievements. ”
General Hu Shen immediately turned to Huang Shi: "The last general of the Yellow Army is also willing to go together!"
