Chapter 0245 - Planning the route to Beijing
The Qing army, under the leadership of the guerrilla general Gao Guosheng, was overjoyed when they saw that the city gate was opened and the drawbridge was lowered.
He immediately led his subordinates into Datong County quickly.
But the first thing to pass is the urn city, Gao Guosheng raised his eyes and saw that many soldiers on the city wall were giggling and laughing, and there was no ambush, and his heart suddenly felt much better.
But he was also vigilant, and just let the deputy lead people into the city first, and he was in the middle of the dispatch.
Jiang Hao watched coldly as Gao Shengguo's team entered the urn city, and then left the urn city, until everyone entered the city.
He ordered the gates to be closed, the drawbridge was lifted, and the hidden stone gate of the city fell from above.
Gao Guosheng's team of 300 people was cut into two sections at once.
With the closing of the city gate, the anti-Qing soldiers who were in ambush also released arrows in an instant.
Whether they surrender or not, shoot him first, disrupt the formation, and then talk about anything else.
Gao Guosheng was trapped in the urn city and was shocked.
He hurried to the gate of the urn city, and through the small crack in the door, he saw that the soldiers inside had been slaughtered.
Even the blood stirred up a drop in his eyes, and the warm feeling made him blink vigorously.
"My lord, what are we going to do?"
Gao Guosheng didn't expect to be recognized, and was directly tricked in, what went wrong?
"What can I do?" Gao Guosheng said angrily: "Being trapped in the urn city, it is naturally a death, do you want to die?" ”
"The villain doesn't want to."
"Go and tell Jiang Jiu, Lao Tzu has descended."
"Yes."
He was an old general of the Ming army, and he didn't make a meritorious contribution to the Qing court this time, so it was better to surrender to Jiang Jiu, but he could save his life.
"It's down, it's a guy who knows how to save his life!"
Jiang Hao laughed twice, ordered someone to lay down his weapon, and put all the war horses on the left side.
All the people are gathered on the right side, and if one of them is found hiding a dagger or something, they will all be killed.
For this kind of order, Gao Guosheng did not have a trace of resistance, and he still had the consciousness of being a knife and a fish and meat.
Then he jumped into the basket and was caught.
"Shaanxi's running Shanxi is coming?"
Jiang Hao knew that this person was originally the one who broke into the king, then descended to the Ming Dynasty, and finally descended to the Qing Dynasty, followed Azig back, and luckily did not shave his head.
Gao Guosheng could only laugh, hoping to save his life.
"Tell me what's going on!"
Gao Guosheng could only tell the truth about the task given to him by Azig.
"It's so calculating!" Jiang Hao groped the beard at the corner of his mouth: "Azig is not a reckless man. ”
"This is all Li Yongfang's son's idea."
"It's kind of interesting."
"The villain doesn't know, how did the adults see through me?"
"Marshal Qin said that if he wants to send reinforcements, there must be a contact code, and if you don't say anything, it must be false."
"Sss Gao Guosheng hugged his fists and said: "Qin Dashuai is far-sighted, and this time he will definitely succeed in the eastward expedition to the capital." ”
Jiang Hao patted Gao Guosheng's shoulder and said, "Okay, since you said the truth, I will spare your life." ”
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief." A smile appeared on Gao Guosheng's face.
"But if you live, the people down there won't be able to live."
Gao Guosheng's eyes widened, and he immediately knelt on the ground:
"My lord, they are all good at marching and fighting for many years, so it's a pity to kill them like this, I hope your lord can give them a chance."
Jiang Hao took two steps: "In this way, I allow you to pick ten people, and kill the rest, or you will die with them." ”
"My lord, I've surrendered."
"You surrendered on your own initiative?" Jiang Hao sneered: "It's not a desperate surrender. ”
Gao Guosheng has been fighting for so many years, and his heart has long been like a stone, so he called the names of ten people and was hung up by the hanging basket.
This behavior has long caused a group of soldiers below to discuss with each other, and the army's morale is unstable.
After all, they are not out of danger yet, and only a few henchmen of the guerrilla adults have been transferred.
"My lord, what about us?" There were soldiers shouting from below.
"Brothers, I'm sorry." Gao Guosheng shouted at the bottom of the urn city: "General Jiang only asked me to choose ten brothers to survive. ”
The ten people who were transferred up looked like they were living for the rest of their lives, and they were extremely moved.
As for the soldiers below, they began to curse, and so on, and some even ran to get weapons or something.
At this moment, Jiang Hao glanced at him, and Gao Guosheng was thrown down by the strong soldiers.
Even the ten people who had been hung up just now were also cut off and threw their heads into the urn city.
Gao Guosheng fell from a high place, threw himself on the ground, and vomited blood directly, his eyes looked at the sky, and he vaguely heard Jiang Jiu shouting:
"Lao Tzu looks down on this kind of person the most."
The remaining soldiers were also stunned, and then the urn city was the stone gate was re-hung up, and the soldiers who came out of it could really live.
On the 3rd, 7th, and 10th, Gao Guosheng had to find a way to send a signal to the outside of the city.
So Azig could make sure the city was still going according to plan.
Gao Guosheng was executed, and Jiang Jiu wanted to use him to catch the fish Azig.
As long as Azig is killed, how many men and horses will Dolgon in Beijing City have in his hands?
No, there are only two yellow flags left in Shunzhi's hands, as well as some white flag soldiers.
Dordor was still fighting in Mongolia, and his illness was repeated, and if Azig lost in Shanxi, he would go straight to Beijing to prevent Dolgon from escaping from the border.
Yang Zhan had already sent a scout horse to quietly occupy Taiyuan, Shanxi, and as for He Luohui, the turtle in the urn in Shaanxi, it was not worth his attack at all.
If you want to kill, you have to go to Azig, who is besieging Datong.
However, fortunately, the news I heard recently is that Azig is besieging Datong Mansion, although only seven of the twelve cities that opposed the Qing Dynasty are left.
But Jiang Hao and the others are still holding on, and it is impossible for Azig to conquer Datong normally in a short period of time, unless someone in the city rebels.
But Yang Zhan believes that there is enough grain and grass inside, and strong reinforcements outside, as soon as the news of Qin Zuoming's 300,000 troops comes out, they will not give up this life-saving straw.
As for the Mongol Ibai, he has long since returned to Mongolia.
Taking advantage of the battle between the Qing army led by Doze and the Khalkha tribes, he sent a small force to harass Duoduo's rear pretending to be Tengjisi's people.
Duoduo had already led his army to some victories, at least the Mongol tribal generals who opposed the Qing Dynasty.
For example, Wu Bandai, Dolji Siha, Python Wusi, Ermi, Keshida and other departments also led their subordinates to defect to the Khalkha Chechen Khan, gathered together, and prepared to fight to the death with Duoduo.
Yibai united with the rest of the tribes and secretly moved to Shanhaiguan and other places to graze, waiting for the opportunity, waiting for Qin Zuoming's order as a line of defense to prevent Dolgon from escaping from the pass.
In fact, Ibay hoped that Dolgon could lead his army to escape from the Shanhaiguan in the Central Plains, so that he would have a chance to make great achievements.
can even get Qin Zuoming's support, and it is not without a chance to become the Great Khan of the grassland.
Qin Zuoming led the artillery team to Shaanxi, and after a few cannons, the Qing army defending the city was blown stupid, and the army's morale was scattered.
After all, it was difficult for the Qing army to resist by defeating the first Batulu Aobai of the Qing Dynasty and the fierce man who killed Prince Su Haoge.
The shadow of a man, the name of a tree.
These three words Qin Zuoming were often muttered in the mouths of the Qing army, even though they could not speak Chinese.
But when they heard Qin Zuoming's three words, they knew that they were afraid.
The trilateral governor He Luo would be forced to commit suicide, he did not want to become the second of Aobai, nor did he want to be humiliated.
Shaanxi has long been pacified by He Zhen, Wu Dading and others, and when Haoge swept through Shaanxi, they listened to Qin Zuoming's words and hurriedly ran to Gansu and other places to avoid its edge.
Then Haoge was relieved to boldly enter the river, leaving He Luo to deal with these courageless thieves.
As a result, Haoge and tens of thousands of Qing troops died in Sichuan and Shu, taking advantage of the unstable heart of the Qing army, He Zhen and others violently attacked He Luohui, forcing him to stay in the lonely city.
The Qing court rebelled everywhere, and Dolgon was like a firefighting captain, who could only pick a big fire first, and as for the rest of the small flames, he had no time to take care of them.
As for the reinforcement of He Luohui, Azig couldn't even get through the passage to Shanxi, how could he cross Shanxi and go to Shaanxi to support him.
In addition to external factors, there was also an internal factor that Dolgon did not expect, that is, the combat effectiveness of the Qing army had weakened.
They went from the bitter cold to the prosperous Central Plains, and were blinded by the world of flowers.
Everyone has worked hard for so long, who doesn't want to be promoted and get rich and play with women!
The idea of having fun spread among the Qing court soldiers, and they all looked like nouveau riche from top to bottom.
Governing the world, what does it have to do with my small soldier and banner master?
That's all the regent's business, I just play with women with silver, after so many years of fighting, I can't enjoy it anymore?
"Qin Dashuai, how many days can I rest in Shaanxi?"
He Zhen was in a good mood, such a powerful artillery was finally his teammate's.
He didn't have to endure the bombardment of the dog Tartar red-coated cannon, because the artillery in Qin Zuoming's hand was much more powerful than the artillery in the hands of the Qing court.
"I don't have much time to rest, take advantage of his illness, ask for his Dolgon's life, and can't let these chiefs who have contaminated the people of my Han family escape from Shanhaiguan."
Qin Zuoming just took advantage of the opportunity of the Qing court to suppress the rebellion everywhere, and wanted to smash Huanglong, so as not to run out of Shanhaiguan with Shunzhi and flee to the land of Liaodong.
The roads there were difficult to navigate, there were great difficulties for the transportation of artillery, and it was back to the home of the Qing army.
Therefore, Qin Zuoming ordered the soldiers to hurry with all their might, and never give Dolgon a chance to escape from the customs.
Otherwise, he would not have prepared for such a long time, planned the route, and used his own advantages to play a wave of explosive troops.
"Don't worry, Dashuai, we have been prepared for a long time, and the little He Luohui will never be our target."
Wu Dading patted his chest and said, "The 30,000 people we have recruited this time are all veterans, and they can go through a long march. ”
"Well, I will set off directly tomorrow to restrain the soldiers and avoid congestion on the roads, I have soldiers to direct traffic along the way, and I must listen to them."
Qin Zuoming paused and said, "I just want to say one thing, if such a major event is accomplished, your benefits will be indispensable. ”
"Thank you Qin Dashuai for the on-demand."
Wu Dading was extremely happy, no matter what, he could be regarded as reporting Qin Zuoming's thigh.
"In our rear army, there will be professional peasant union officials who will come to take over the whole of Shaanxi and stabilize the rear, so you can go with me."
Qin Zuoming patted He Zhen on the shoulder and said, "I want to leave a name in history, just then." ”
He Zhen's eyes lit up, and he responded loudly.
Azig of Datong Prefecture still did not get close to Datong County, and he had already sent scouts to inquire about the news.
Qin Zuoming's vanguard has arrived in Taiyuan, and there are two roads next.
One is to go to Ningwuguan to Shuozhou, pass through Shanyin and Huairen, and go straight to Datong to support Jiang Xuan.
One is to go to Yanmen Pass, to Fanzhi, Lingqiu, through Bauhinia Pass, through Zhuozhou, straight to Wanping, and attack Beijing.
"Prince Ying, do we want to give up Shanxi immediately and return to Beijing to help?" Inge asked in a whisper.
Syllable.
Azig slapped Inge angrily, and there was no voice in the Gudian County Ya.
Inge's face was hot and painful, and he knew that Azig was a brainless and rough person.
"Do you want this king to run away when he doesn't see Qin Zuoming's men and horses?"
"Prince Ying." Yingge knelt on the ground and stated: "Ningwuguan to Shuozhou, through Shanyin and Huairen, straight to Datong, this road is all in Jiang Xuan's hands.
He would rather give up other places and hold this road in his hands, just to wait for Qin Zuoming's reinforcements to arrive one day. ”
"He's coming, and the king wants to cut off his head."
Azig didn't have the slightest feeling for Haoge's death, he could fight well, how could he be defeated in the hands of Qin Zuoming.
Anyway, it's the idea that they are not as good as mine, who says he has no ambitions?
Now Hauge has suffered heavy losses, and he, who is an older brother, doesn't want Dolgon to be pressed on his head, he also wants to be a regent uncle.
He is not good at fighting in the court, but he is still very good at how to behave himself on the battlefield and how to achieve victory.
"Besides, it's just that Qin Zuoming's vanguard arrives, and we will escape?"
As the fifth son of Huang Taiji, Shuo Sai was young and had a lot of military achievements, and followed Duoduo to beat Li Zicheng and Hongguang, and personally captured Emperor Hongguang.
Since Shuosai left Beijing, he has successively defeated the peasant army and the Ming Dynasty army more than 150 enemy soldiers, and Jiangnan, Zhejiang and other places have been pacified.
He appeased 244 Ming officials and 317,700 horse infantry.
Therefore, during the siege of Shanxi this time, the Manchu Eight Banners did not move to attack the city, and the dead were all the Han troops who were recruited.
Especially when he heard that Qin Zuoming claimed to be 300,000 horses, Dolgon hurriedly sent many surrendered Han troops, hoping that Azig could block Qin Zuoming in Shanxi and other places.
Once Qin Zuoming's army entered the territory of Shuntianfu, it would be a great blow to the entire Qing court.
Yingge knelt on the ground, pointed to the map and said, "If Qin Zuoming's vanguard does not come to support Jiang Xuan,
He wants to use the siege of Wei to save Zhao, invade Shuntian Mansion, and attack the city of Beijing, so the emperor is in danger, should we go back to the army to rescue? ”
Shuo Se was also a little difficult to speak at this time, he was close to the Dorgon brothers, otherwise Dorgon would not have taken him with him in the southern and northern wars.
This time, he was sent by Dorgon to assist Azig in order to avoid Azig's death.
Prince Ying Azig said directly: "What are you afraid of, Shuntian Mansion is heavily guarded, and there are three elite banners here, Dolgon will not be afraid." ”
"Besides, Gao Guosheng has already gained Jiang Jiu's trust, we want to kill Jiang Hao before Qin Zuoming comes, and let him come for nothing!"
