Chapter 42: The Three Divisions of Mongolia

"Boom......"

The builders in three directions bent their bows and shot arrows, and countless sharp arrows whistled away.

For a time, the sound of breaking the air resounded throughout Jinzhou City.

"Brothers, fight ......"

"Boom......"

"......"

Under the light of the torches, the people in front of the city gate could not rush out a few steps, and before they could even say a complete sentence, they were pierced by countless sharp arrows.

The shooting distance was too close, and the arrow power was strong, and it easily plunged into the flesh and blood of the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

or through the lungs, or straight into the skull.

Most of them kill with one hit.

Under the starlight and firelight, in the sound of sharp arrows galloping, nearly 200 lives were quickly lost.

After a short time, there was silence in front of the city gates.

A bearded man crouched beside the dead body, fiddling with a corpse with his hands.

"Brother-in-law, I grew up in Haizhou since I was a child, and I have been a white flag clothed slave since my grandfather's life, and I am already a person from the Qing Dynasty, how can I surrender to Han Dog with you! If you make such a fuss, I have to say a daughter-in-law again! ”

Although Dongqiang opened his eyes, he was already out of breath and couldn't hear this.

……

"Regent, the rebels have been killed at the East Gate!" Abatai knelt down in front of Dorgon and said.

Dolgon's expression was calm, and he said lightly: "Continue to investigate, and check the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty." Kill a few more people if necessary to prevent problems before they happen! ”

Outside the city, a scout entered Wu Sangui's military tent after passing through the court.

"Yuping Xibo, there was a commotion in the east gate of Jinzhou City just now, and there were roars and bows and arrows."

Wu Sangui nodded.

"The saint is really a god, and there is really infighting in Jinzhou City!"

"The Holy Lord's deterrence and discord strategy succeeded, and Han Baqi finally couldn't sit still, but those people were too wasteful to succeed in opening the city gate.

In this way, Dolgon must vigorously rectify, and the Han people in the city will never have the opportunity to surrender again, which is a pity. Wu Sangui muttered to himself.

"Pass the order, stop the shelling from tomorrow, and the whole army will be on alert in place, waiting for reinforcements from the imperial court!" Wu Sangui is colorful.

"Yes!"

……

Following.

A hundred miles east of Jinzhou, patches of yurts dot the mountains. It was a camp of tens of thousands of Mongol cavalry, who had arrived seven days earlier.

After the ambush on the left flank of Karaqin was frustrated, they waited for reinforcements here, and yesterday, reinforcements from the Horqin and Uliangha divisions finally arrived, and the three troops were combined.

In the Chinese military tent, the three princes are discussing the war.

A scout rode into the tent.

"Lord Wang, Wu Sangui has stopped shelling Jinzhou City."

Duan Luobu, the prince of the left wing of Karaqin, listened to the report, turned his head and said:

"Prince Heta, Prince Jili Mengke, Wu Sangui has been acting strangely in the past five days, we shouldn't wait any longer. If we keep standing by like this, when the Ming Court sends reinforcements, Jinzhou City will be broken, and we can't explain it. ”

"Then you mean, taking advantage of Wu Sangui's small number of soldiers, our three departments will fight a decisive battle with it?" And Ta asked.

"Isn't it true that Changshengtian has gathered us here just to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army!" Duan Luo Brown said.

"Then what you said before, how to deal with the crossbow arrows that the Ming army can fire 200 steps away?"

"Before, there were only 20,000 horses in my department, and one-on-one with Wu Sangui really couldn't take advantage. But now that your two troops are in place, and I have a total of 70,000 cavalry in the tripartite, I'm afraid that he won't succeed. ”

Prince Heta of the Korqin tribe and Prince Jili Möngke of the Uliangha tribe looked at each other and nodded.

The Ming army has been weak since ancient times, and they have a large army in their hands, so it is really unreasonable to stand by and watch it like this.

In the case of the superiority of their own troops, it is the best policy to send troops to solve the predicament of Jinzhou.

"Lord ......"

A pro-soldier shouted in a panic and marched into the tent.

"The two princes are here, what are you talking about!" Duan Luobu saw that his soldiers were flustered, and felt that he had lost face, so he scolded sharply.

The soldiers were trained, and they hurriedly straightened their clothes, stood up and said: "The Ming army has called, and they just killed the 50 horsemen of the outpost camp on the east side of our department, and now they are wandering around my camp to watch!" ”

"Found us so quickly! How many people came. Duan Luobu asked, standing up.

"According to a few people who fled, there were up to 3,000 people!"

"MA's, 3,000 people dare to attack the camp! He Mingjun doesn't take me too seriously! Order 5,000 men and horses, and follow me to destroy them! Duan Rob roared.

"Hahaha......"

And Prince Ta laughed.

"I think you Karaqin were too soft a few days ago, but this time you're here to beat the water dogs, hahaha......"

Duan Luobu was furious when he heard this, and was about to scold back, his eyes rolled, and he said: "This Ming cavalry is very tight, except for me, I'm afraid that no one sitting there can use 5,000 horses to drive them away!" ”

Prince Heta laughed when he heard this: "Prince Duanluobu is afraid of being killed, and he has 5,000 riders, so I will take 3,000 riders to annihilate them!" ”

Duan Luobu was overjoyed when he heard it: "No, you are one-on-one, not necessarily their opponents!" ”

"Hahaha......" Heta laughed when he heard this, stood up, and said, "Prince Duanluobu wait for my good news!" ”

After the words fell, He Ta walked out of the military tent and ordered the men and horses to gallop away.

Gillian Mönggo squinted his eyes and said nothing. He hadn't heard that Duan Luobu was a soft egg, just now he instigated Horqin not to fight, could it be that the cavalry of the Ming army was really so powerful?

In the east of the Mongolian camp, Wu Sangui personally led the elite cavalry to gallop back and forth, looking at the yurts all over the mountains, he was still a little nervous.

If it weren't for the fact that every cavalry was equipped with a Chongzhen five-arrow crossbow, he really wouldn't dare to reconnoiter the enemy situation so blatantly.

"Pinxib, the Mongols are coming towards us."

"Look at the flag, it's not the cavalry of Karaqin......" Wu Sangui said.

"It's the banner of Horqin Mongolia!"

"I said, his Karaqin left wing is to bring men, women and children, and he can't have so many yurts, there are reinforcements." Wu Sangui said.

"The enemy is outnumbered, so we retreat and watch, and send them 100 paces closer before shooting arrows. Make sure to kill with one hit. Wu Sangui gave the order, and Lema left.

Seeing that the Ming army had withdrawn, Heta waved his horsewhip fiercely, vowing to completely annihilate this Ming army, and let Karaqin see who the real Mongolian warriors were.

"Drive! Drive! ”

Wu Sangui led people to gallop, but the war horse was not as fast as the Mongolian horse, and the time to inject incense was getting closer and closer.

"Five-arrow, ready!" Wu Sangui ordered.

The Mongolian horse is fast, which is the reason why he retreated first to avoid it, if he was dragged by these 3,000 pursuers near the Mongolian barracks, life and death were unpredictable.

"The Han people are right in front of you, the warriors of the Immortal Heaven, kill!"

He Ta pulled out his waist knife, pointed at the Ming army a hundred steps away, and shouted.

"Put!" Wu Sangui drank.

"Whoosh ......"

The rear 1000 cavalry pulled the trigger.

5,000 crossbows flew in a roar, and the Mongol cavalry at the head of the team suddenly turned on their backs.

After the rear of the Ming army released the arrows and scattered on both sides, the cavalry of the squadron immediately pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh ......"

The Mongol army suffered another wave of casualties.

He was hit by an arrow on his horse, and immediately fell forward, throwing the master on his back far away.

Seeing the prince fall off his horse, the Mongolian cavalry immediately reined in the reins of the horse, quickly dismounted, and ran towards the tower.

He Ta rolled on the ground a few times in embarrassment, his whole body hurt, and he moved his limbs, "It's okay, it's not hurt!" ”

He stood up, looked at the Ming army that had run away, thought about the crossbow arrows that could be shot a hundred steps away, rode on the new horse brought by his own soldiers, and led the team to spare a long time, before returning to the camp.
