Chapter 307
"Poof" The head of the Tartar soldier was smashed open, and the brain slurry sprayed Zu Kuan's head and face. Zu Chengxun's war horse neighed and stepped over the corpse of the Tartar soldier. The moment he flew over Zu Kuan's head, Zu Chengxun threw his saber down.
"Lord Belle, let's go!" Fan Wencheng pushed Dolgon.
Li Xiao stood on the hill and saw that the town of the Houjin army had finally collapsed. Except for a few people who were desperately holding on to Zu Dashou, most of the Houjin army began to retreat to the woods. The cavalry would not easily enter the woods, whether it was the Mongols or the Jurchens, or Zu Dashou.
"Collect the troops!" Li Xiao sighed and gave the order to withdraw the troops.
The main force of the Eight Banners in the distance was only less than twenty miles away, and at this time the pursuit would die more ugly than a pig.
Everyone likes to win battles, and the taste of defeat is not pleasant. Yuan Chonghuan This time, it can be regarded as a big thunder. However, it is still good for Yuan Chonghuan to come to Lei, if Ao Canghai is allowed to command, he will only lose even more.
No matter what, Yuan Chonghuan still won back a city with the help of the Mongols and Qin soldiers.
It's late autumn and it's getting dark early. In the last rays of day, the two armies disengaged. Li Xiao worked hard to gather his troops and retreated in the direction of Jinzhou at night.
At the same time, Dorgon was retreating. However, behind him were the other six banners of Houjin, and the retreat was much closer than Li Xiao.
"Great Khan, we have dealt a heavy blow to Li Xiao's department. If our army pursues it in a big way now, it will definitely be able to eat Li Xiao's main force. Then take advantage of this opportunity to capture Jinzhou and even Shanhaiguan. Dolgon's face was black and white, and his white armor was stained with blood, and he looked a little embarrassed.
"Fourteenth brother, I know that you are sincere in your meritorious service. But Li Xiao is cunning, how do you know that he is not luring the enemy deeper? Let's wait until dawn and see if it's more appropriate. Dai Shan glanced at Dorgon with a smile.
Just by virtue of those people under you Dolgon, dare to say that you have hit Li Xiao hard? Why did Li Guanzhen escape back in such an embarrassment, and now you don't look like you've won a battle.
All of you in the room, Baelor, looked at Dorgon suspiciously. He said that Li Xiao's department was hit hard, and few people believed it was true.
"When we were desperate, there was no reinforcement. Now that Li Xiao's remnants are in front, do you still dare not pursue? At last, Dordor couldn't take it anymore and stood up and roared angrily.
"Little brother, what are you anxious about. The second brother chased without saying anything, this black light is blind and there is no moon, and the road can't see how to chase it clearly! Don't be impatient, it's not too late for us to chase after dawn tomorrow. Amin was slapping on the sidelines.
Dodor's eyes widened, he wanted to kick this cousin to death now.
Dorgon took Dordor, and the last time he was stripped of his bull for roaring in front of the Great Khan. You can't make the same mistake a second time.
"Great Khan, what the younger brother said seems to have some truth. Why don't we send someone to chase it? Just when Huang Taiji was ready to let everyone disperse, wash and sleep and fight again tomorrow. Suddenly, Mang Gurtai spoke!
Huang Taiji, Dai Shan, and even Amin all looked at Mang Gurtai strangely. I don't know what the hell is going on with this famous brave five Baylor.
Mang Gurtai kept an eye on him, and he asked people to ask about today's battle. He had just received a report from his men, and he felt that what Dorgon had said seemed to be right. Li Xiao's subordinate has already suffered heavy losses, and if he pursues him, he will definitely have great results.
Zhenglanqi has suffered too much loss in the hands of the Liao army, and the person Mang Gurtai hates the most is Li Xiao. Now that there is a chance to kill Li Xiao, how can Mang Gurtai be willing to let go of this opportunity.
"Old Five, if you want to chase it, you can chase it, but our two red flags won't follow you." Dai Shan refused. In the first battle of Juehua Island, Daishan lost two sons and three grandsons. The damage caused by the firearm was too great, and finally Zhenghongqi recovered a little bit of vitality, and Dai Shan was not sure that he would definitely not make a move now.
"I'll go, I'll go." Mang Gurtai snorted, and now he looked down on this second brother.
"Fifth brother! When Amma was there, he said, "Fifth brother, you are the first Baturu of my Jurchens." Today, I see that Father Khan is right. Be careful, that Li Xiao is scheming, don't fall for his deception and ambush. I think it's better to forget it. Huang Taiji's eyes rolled and he thought about it.
The Houjin Eight Banners, the first two yellow flags with the strongest strength, and the two white flags now. I just suffered a heavy blow today, and it seems that my strength has been greatly damaged. The two blue flags ranked second are now strong and strong, and they have become the two strongest flags in Houjin. Especially Amin's inlaid blue flag, the number of cattle records is the most among the eight flags.
Since Mang Gurtai is going to chase it, let him chase it. Catching up with Li Xiao, it is better to be able to defeat Li Xiao. If you are ambushed by Li Xiao and suffer heavy losses, ......!
"The Great Khan is overwhelmed!" Mang Gurtai looked at Dai Shan with a look of disdain.
"Fifth brother has to chase it? If you are ambushed halfway, then ...... You're blue flag, and you're going to lose a lot. Huang Taiji's kind persuasion seemed to be thinking about Mang Gurtai.
"Even if there is an ambush, the warriors of my blue flag can break it with one blow, and they don't have to worry about sweating."
"Old Five, forget it. Let's chase it tomorrow during the day! Dai Shan also persuaded on the side.
"The five uncles are strong and strong, what is a mere Li Xiao. I just don't know who hit his head and bleed under Jinzhou City at the beginning, and who knows if he will hit his head this time. It's just that the poor flag keeper of the blue flag follows such a master. Haoge was behind Huang Taiji, saying strange things in a strange way.
"What did you say, boy?" Mang Gurtai stood up, his eyes widened.
"My nephew is kind enough to remind Uncle Five, don't lose like last time." Hauge is now in a different status, his father is the Great Khan. As the eldest son of Huang Taiji, he has some advantages in identity.
"You say it again?" Mang Gurtai didn't care whether Haoge was the eldest son of Huang Taiji or not, if Haoge dared to say it again, he would slap this kid who didn't know how to be humble. What's the big deal about you being the Great Khan, now it's the Four Baylors. It was not the time of Nurhachi, when the Great Khan alone had the final say.
The nephew didn't dare to say it, lest the fifth uncle do it. But Uncle Five, I'm really afraid that you will repeat the mistakes of the past. If you fall into Li Xiao's ambush this time and suffer heavy losses, then what can you say? ”
"Humph! What do you say? ”
"Can the fifth uncle dare to make a military order, this time he will definitely be able to defeat Li Xiao?"
"Why don't you dare?"
"Okay, I'll bet with Uncle Fifth on the five Niu Lu under Zhenghuang."
"I'll bet ten!" Mang Gurtai pulled his neck and roared.
**********************************************************
It was very dark tonight, and the moon in the sky was a crooked crescent. If you don't look closely, you can't see that. Such a moon, there is no extra moonlight sprinkled on the earth at all.
Li Xiao sat in the carriage and looked at Cao Wenzhao lying on the carriage board. The mountain-like man frowned, and his face was as pale as gold paper. Covered in blood, Junko was holding the liquor and wiping it on his body.
This morning, this is still a lively man. At night, it looks like this.
There was a piece of shrapnel embedded in the shoulder, which pierced very deeply. There are more than 20 wounds on the body, large and small. This is not the most fatal, the most fatal thing is that his internal organs were violently concussed. If the recovery is not good, such an iron-clad man may be wasted. Qin Qiong, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, was unable to set foot on the battlefield again in the second half of his life because of the lack of internal organs and lack of qi and blood.
The liquor wiped the wound and took a closer look. There should be no blood vessels such as arteries in this place, Li Xiao took a small pliers and slowly pulled out the shrapnel.
The shrapnel was thrown into the tray, still covered in blood.
Junzi hurriedly took a hemostatic bandage, sprinkled Cao Wenzhao's shoulder with the white medicine prepared by Li Zhongzi, and then bandaged it like a pig.
"Feed him more ginseng water tonight, and if he has a fever, rub his palms and feet with spirits, as well as his forehead and armpits." Junzi is a careful person, and it is still reassuring to hand over Cao Wenzhao to him Li Xiao.
Step out of the carriage and onto another, bigger carriage. Yuan Chonghuan and Hong Chengchou sat in the carriage, and the table in the carriage was covered with a map of the first line of the Black Mountain and the Great Tiger Mountain. Yuan Chonghuan has been in Jinzhou for two years, and the terrain in this area has long been familiar.
"Lord Hong! Shame on today's battle! Shame on you! Li Xiao arched his hand at Hong Chengchou.
"What did Master Li say? I only learned today that this tartar is so difficult to beat. Compared with you, the war we fought in Shaanxi is not called a war. It is no wonder that only the Liao army in the whole world can hold Liaodong. Hong Chengchou said very sincerely, without the slightest artificiality.
Today's battle really shocked him. Especially just now Yuan Chonghuan said that these are just two of the eight flags. The six flags in the back are still twenty miles away from the battlefield. If the enemy pursues the enemy in a rout, the consequence is likely to be the destruction of the entire army.
The two flags fought like this, I really don't know how the Jinzhou War was fought at the beginning. Hong Chengchou felt that his soldiers couldn't hold on even for a morning.
"Let's arrange the retreat, this time Cao Wenzhao only survived with six people. But it also killed and injured a large number of Tartar soldiers! Our army now has more than 30% of the battle losses, and the elite of the enemy army with six flags has not yet been put into battle.
If we are overtaken, we are killed. There was only one regiment left in Jinzhou, and it could not be held at all. ”
"The Tartars will chase after you?" Hong Chengchou immediately became vigilant. The Qin troops he brought with him were all infantry, and they retreated and fell behind.
"Definitely coming after them, they are cavalry moving quickly. We will certainly seize this opportunity and pursue until we are completely annihilated. This is their consistent tactic against our Daming, and I just didn't give them a chance before. This time......! ”
"Then my lord, hurry up and get a charter." Hong Chengchou panicked all of a sudden.
Although Li Xiao's soldiers were infantry, the infantry of the people were all in large carriages. The Qin army, who walked along the road faster than his own two-legged army, did not know how much, and the Mongols were even more one man and two horses. Only his Qin army fell behind, if the Tartars pursued. He was the first to suffer, and his elite men must not be lost.
"Here! This is the Daling River, with ** mountains on both sides. There is only one main road that passes between the two mountains, and this is the only way to Jinzhou. Yuan Chonghuan, you asked Zu Dashou to send two companies out and fall at the end.
More mines were laid along the way, as well as triangular nails. Slow down the enemy's pursuit as fast as possible! ”
"No!" Yuan Chonghuan immediately responded to the promise.
"You take your soldiers and rush to the ** mountain to set up a pocket. At the same time, fast horses were sent back to Jinzhou to transfer all the remaining mortars in Jinzhou. The field that was lost during the day today, Lao Tzu wants to find it back in Linghai. Note that the rocket launchers should not be turned over. If this battle doesn't go well, we still have to use it when defending Jinzhou. Besides, such a battlefield is not conducive to the development of rocket artillery. ”
"No!" Yuan Chonghuan looked at the map carefully again, planning how to set up an ambush in his mind.
"Lord Hong, your soldiers should rush forward as much as possible and run back to Jinzhou directly. The Mongol soldiers of Geritu were ambushed in the col of ** Mountain. As long as the Tartar soldiers want to withdraw, they will block Lao Tzu head-on. This battle must let them know that Lao Tzu is not so easy to chase. Thinking about the events of the day, Li Xiao was angry in his heart. Originally, I wanted to symbolically send troops to the emperor to see, and return to Jinzhou after a few months.
But he didn't expect that he would fight such a tragic battle just a few days after the troops were dispatched. Yuan Chonghuan's two regiments suffered nearly 30% casualties. And that's not even counting the mortar positions at the end of the nest!
Some underestimate the speed of the Tartars' progress, who the fuck said that these guys are barbarians, and their learning ability is really fucking super.
"Zuo Liangyu, He Huchen ......!" Hong Chengchou arched his hand at Li Xiao, jumped out of the carriage and called out his two right-hand men.
Li Xiao sat in the carriage, thinking in his mind how to fight this battle. I hope that Huang Taiji will not fight with himself, otherwise this ambush battle may be turned into a positional war again.
After thinking about it in his mind for a while, Hong Chengchou came back with a curtain lift.
"It's all arranged!"
"Lord Hong, you have seen it too. It's not that if I don't carry out the will of Long Live Li Xiao, I really can't fight. Today, there are only two of the eight flags on the front line of Dahu Mountain in Montenegro, and we still occupy a favorable terrain. It took several days to build fortifications, and this made this virtue.
Then let's not talk about it, let's attack Liaoyang and Shenyang. I wondered if it was a joint concerto. Explain the situation here clearly with Banzai and let the Liao army withdraw to Jinzhou to recuperate. After the Liao army regained its strength, Liaoyang and Shenyang were restored. "Since Hong Chengchou was sent by Zhu Youzhen to be the supervisor, it means that this guy is Zhu Youzhen's henchman.
Zhu Youzhen may not believe what you say, do you still not believe what your cronies say?
"Hmmm! This is nature! "Hong Chengchou now just wants to leave Liaodong quickly and go back to his Guanzhong.
