Chapter 159 Exhaustion

Dazeshan Liujiazhai is the Liu brothers who moved from Sichuan to settle here in the third year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. After slowly expanding and gradually becoming a village, because the village site is located in the north cliff of the north of Ziyang River, it is also named Liujiazhai of the river cliff.

Like other villages, this village also has a wall, but due to the Leiden Rebellion, the population of the village has long been gone.

Yesterday, the shouts of killing and the sound of artillery in the direction of Daze Mountain thought about it for a whole day, and dozens of villagers in the village had already run away with the valuable Gash in fright, and even after the Eight Banners Army retreated to the village, they didn't even see a single figure.

The Eight Banners soldiers, who were tired for almost a day and a night, did not even have the strength to make a fire and make food, and after arranging for the Han Army Flag to be stationed in turn, the remaining Eight Banners soldiers broke into the people's homes one after another, and fell asleep.

Yue Tuo, the prince of the Qing Dynasty and the general of Yangwu, sat in front of the door of a wooden house dejectedly, and at this moment he had already lost the arrogance of the Manchurian vassal and the lord of the red flag.

As a descendant of Aixin Jueluo and the son of Prince Li Daishan, Yue Tuo never thought that he would end up in such a field.

"Manchuria has more than 10,000 soldiers, and more than 10,000 is invincible!" These words are like a joke in front of Yue Tuo now, eight Manchurian soldiers with more than Niu Lu, seven Mongolian soldiers with Niu Lu, and more than 5,000 Han troops will actually collapse in the encirclement of the lowly Han dogs.

"General......!"

The Manchurian army commander Tanaka and Goshkha Commander Kordo hurriedly walked over.

"General, the slaves are only able to order the military horses, there are only more than 1,800 Manchurian soldiers left, more than 600 Mongolian soldiers, and 1,500 or 600 Han army banners, but the horses are basically lost in Daze Mountain in the chaos, and the grain is lost, only a little dry food and dried meat are left, and the slaves have searched the whole village to find more than 200 catties of grain, what should we do now?"

Yue Tuo still sat under the eaves of the door in despair, his lips squirming weakly, he almost didn't listen to Tanaka's words, and his grief was greater than his heart dying, which was the most appropriate for Yue Tuo now.

"Alas!"

Seeing that Yue Tuo did not react, Tanaka stomped his foot heavily, and said urgently: "Prince Cheng, there is no food in the army, the slave thinks that we should immediately turn to the Jiaolai River, the Jiaolai River is about more than 100 miles long, we can always think of a way, but it really can't work, the slave led the brigade to attract the Ming thief sailor, and the general took the opportunity to cross the river elsewhere." ”

Yue Tuo raised his eyes and looked at Tanaka, and suddenly roared: "You mean, with the lives of these thousands of soldiers, in exchange for the life of this king, this king will not leave, this king will die in Laizhou, this king took more than 10,000 military horses, all folded in Laizhou, how can this king still have the face to go back?" ”

"General, the slave will die when he dies, the general is the pro-vassal of the Qing Dynasty, the owner of the Red Flag Banner, and the grandson of Emperor Taizu, if you fold it in the hands of the Ming thief, it will shake the country, and please ask the general to investigate."

Tanaka and Kordo fell to their knees in front of Yueto and wept with tears in their eyes.

"Ha, ha, ha......!"

Yueto burst out laughing, and then muttered, "This king will go back by himself, will Dolgon let this king go?" Folded more than 10,000 troops, this is something that we have never done since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, even if the emperor forgives me, it is not a trap, so this king would rather die on the battlefield than go back to suffer such a nest. ”

Although Yue Tuo is physically and mentally exhausted, but he has not lost his mind, if he dies in Laizhou, as the main general of this expedition, Dolgon will be responsible for improper command, and it is the main responsibility, if he returns to Shengjing, then the main person responsible for the lost military plane is himself, as Hong Tai's confidant ironcore, Yue Tuo of course understands the truth.

Moreover, if he dies on the battlefield, he can be regarded as a martyr for the Qing Dynasty, and his children can't say that the court will give him grace.

"Lord Wang!"

"General!"

Tanaca and Kordo cried out.

Yue Tuo Shi Shiran stood up and walked into the house.

As he walked, he muttered, "This king is not a coward, this king is not a coward!" ”

Hundreds of Manchurian, Han and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers on the official roads of Dafoling and Panlong Mountain are working hard to carry the rolling logs and stones blocked on the official roads.

Some of the more Eight Banners dragged the corpses of their companions to the clearing at the foot of the hill and stripped them of their armor, while others searched the grass for spears and bows scattered on the ground.

The horses that had lost their owners were also gathered together, and they continued to let out mournful chirps.

The soldiers who died in the Jingbei Army were also carried out of the mud wall one by one, and Lu Liangzhi held the yellow book of soldiers under the guidance of several team officers and constantly ticked with a red pen, and each bright red big tick represented the death of a fresh life.

Of course, the second town, which occupies a favorable location, did not suffer many casualties, but more than 100 people were killed and wounded by the archers and musketeers of the Qing army.

On the Big Buddha Ridge, Tang Shao and Mu Wenshou were reporting the military situation to Wang Zhong with their eyebrows fluttering.

"General Wang, this battle is beautiful! It is initially estimated that there were more than 2,000 beheadings, 400 Mongolian soldiers were captured, and more than 700 traitors were captured by the Han army. ”

Wang Zhong was also pleased, and asked, "Where is Yue Tuo's dog Tartar hiding?" ”

Tang Shao said with a smile: "General Qiyu, according to the news of the sentinel, Yue Tuo has entered Liujiazhai, but he still has three or four thousand soldiers and horses in his hand, if it is a strong attack, I am afraid that the last general and others will not be their opponents." ”

"Hmmm! What you said is reasonable, you immediately send someone to report to the marshal, see what the marshal can do, Yue Tuo is a Manchurian pro-vassal, take him, can the court still have a reward? You quickly go to rectify the soldiers and horses, and when the materials are collected, we will move closer to the area of Liujiazhai. ”

Around noon, all the results of the battle have been counted, in terms of capture and beheading, Tang Shao and Mu Wenshou are not far from eight, after all, there may be a small number of Eight Banners soldiers who have escaped into the mountains.

According to Lu Liangzhi's statistics, seven small cannons of 600 catties, more than 700 catties of medicine, 513 firearms, 800 longbows, more than 6,000 arrows, 1,300 war horses, more than 3,000 pairs of cotton armor, and nearly 2,000 other swords and spears were captured in this battle.

Seeing the statistical results, Wang Zhong was overjoyed, the Jingbei Army had not long expanded its army, and there was a shortage of weapons, especially in terms of armor and firearms.

"The cavalry has always been led by the marshal, let's each choose a few good horses, we will keep a thousand sets of cotton armor, all the guns and artillery will be left, and the rest of the bows and arrows, swords and spears, and horses will be sent to Laizhou, as for the prisoners, they will be disposed of by themselves when the marshal comes!"

Tang Shao asked hesitantly: "But general, if we intercept so many weapons, will the marshal be angry?" ”

Wang Zhong laughed and said: "What are you afraid of, whoever grabs it is who's it, there are still thousands of Tartars in Liujiazhai, if the first town has the ability to suppress them, they will withhold the materials, and the general will not say anything." ”
