Chapter 30: The Peasant Revolt
Perhaps killing that group of Chahar tribes was the worst decision I made on this expedition!
Amin thought to himself. Today is the third time that they have been harassed by the Mongol cavalry, and in the course of these few days of marching, the Mongol cavalry will have small groups of troops from time to time to harass the Jurchen garrison, whenever they have to make food and rest; When you take a break late at night; When marching, there will always be some Mongol cavalry running to attack, which is unbearable. Of course, the Mongol cavalry who came to harass did not take any advantage, and every time they were shot by a group of Jurchen soldiers, it can be said that no one on both sides took any advantage.
In fact, these are also Lin Dan Khan's means, he told his people that they can't fight hard with the Jurchens, and they must first consume their sharpness, in fact, they want to let the people of each tribe send a small force into battle, according to the Jurchens' ability to fight bravely, it is simply unrealistic for the harassed troops in the past to retreat, so that when all tribes have hatred with the Jurchens, it is more conducive to uniting the tribes, the reason is very simple - everyone has a common enemy.
At this time, in the camp of Lin Dan Khan, Lin Dan Khan poured a sip of mare's milk wine into his mouth and asked, "For the recent attack on the Jurchens, is there any tribe that has not planned to attack according to the regulations?" ”
The attendant on the side replied, "Great Khan, except for the Korqin Division, there is no attack at present, and the other tribes have raided it according to your instructions. ”
"Manggus, this bastard, is not worthy of being a descendant of Genghis Khan, not only did Baba marry his daughter to Huang Taiji, but now he doesn't even listen to orders directly, he is going against the entire Golden Family."
"The Great Khan is angry, and it is imperative to wait until the Jurchens are cleaned up first, and then it is not too late to ask Korqin about the crime." The attendant explained.
''Amin, it's not a way to go on like this, why don't we take the initiative too!'' "These days can make Mang Gurtai depressed, since the beginning of the war has not encountered such a grievance thing, first Amin involuntarily robbed people and slaughtered all the materials, and then his side ushered in Lin Dan Khan's revenge, not to mention the injury of the arrow, and has been harassed by the Mongolian cavalry, if it has been consumed like this, it will definitely be questioned by Huang Taiji."
''I also want to take the initiative, but you tell me, where is the enemy?'' Amin asked rhetorically as he walked around like a manic lion.
"Didn't you notice that it wasn't a tribesman who was harassing us lately?"
"So what?
"The Monan region has never been dominated by the Chahar Department, maybe we can ask for help from the Horqin Department this time, after all, Mangus's daughter is Huang Taiji's wife, and I think he will help us."
"Then send scouts right now, and go to Horqin for support." Amin immediately turned his worries into joy and said.
The words were divided into two ends, just as Lin Dan Khan and Amin were fighting happily on the grassland, Dolgon had already arrived at Longjing Pass, and at this time, the soldiers guarding the city above Longjing Pass did not know that danger had come to them.
My hegemony will start from this Longjing Pass, this battle can only be won and not defeated, Dolgon thought to himself, seeing the yellow flag behind him, he suddenly had an illusion, at this moment it seems that he is the Great Khan.
"Start attacking."
With Dolgon's order, the soldiers with yellow flags charged forward without fear of death, because Longjing Pass is a small pass, and close to Zunhua City, so the usual guards are very few, usually negligent in the battle formation, they saw the sudden Jurchen cavalry instantly panicked, hurriedly responded to the battle, from the city wall while releasing arrows while shouting the enemy attack, but unfortunately their archery skills are too poor, although they are shooting from high down, the result is not any crosshairs at all, but it seems to send supplies to the Jurchen cavalry.
An interesting scene appeared, the Jurchen army under the city was collecting arrows while attacking forward, because the Jurchen themselves had been in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, the ape arm was good at shooting, as they once took the bow and arrows, a Ming army on the city wall fell to the ground, and the city defender Li Ming saw that he couldn't just let the soldiers shrink in the city wall, because he thought that the Jurchen had no siege equipment, and sent people to ask for help while defending it.
Seeing this, Dolgon said directly: "Come on, take the ladder, I will be the first to go up, and within half an hour, I will take Longjing Pass." ”
The yellow flag Niu Lu Aobai and Dolgon are about the same age, seeing that Dolgon is the first to take the lead, the momentum of not admitting defeat also came up, and said with a smile: "Fourteenth master, then let's compare and see who is the first to climb the city tower first." ”
Dolgon glanced at Aobai, although he didn't know the Niu Lu in front of him, but at this time, he could use him to boost his morale, and immediately said: "This warrior wants to compete with me to see who is the first to rush to Longjing Pass, and whether he has the courage to come together!" ‘’
At this time, the other Niu Lu inlaid with the yellow flag also said that they could, and asked to join, there is a way that one person is desperate and ten people are unstoppable, under the advantages of the other, Dolgon directly put on the saber and climbed up against the ladder, Aobai, and other Niu Lu and soldiers were also not to be outdone to set up the ladder and stepped forward.
At this time, Li Ming, the defender of the city, also saw the cloud ladder that had been set up, and immediately shouted: "Brothers, the Tartars are about to attack, and the left and right are dead, fight." ‘’
The soldiers defending the city also knew that they would die when they attacked, so they also had the courage to start shooting arrows down, at this time Dolgon and Ao Bai had climbed to the top of the city, and the two sides could not help but start fighting directly, although morale can be improved in a short period of time, but the combat power of individual soldiers can not be improved by relying on morale, and soon as more and more soldiers rushed to the pass, Longjing Pass finally fell, and the city defender Li Ming was also killed in the melee.
Dolgon looked at Aobai, the two looked at each other and smiled, Dolgon won the game just now, because Dolgon was the first to rush to Longjing Pass.
Within a day, Da'ankou and Hong'ankou were also captured by Azig and Duoduo, and the three brothers successfully won the first merit of knocking on the Daming Jingshi.
At this time, Chongzhen is still having a headache for Shaanxi's affairs, since Wang Erbaishui raised the uprising, although he immediately transferred Sun Chuanting to suppress it, but Wang Jiayin, a farmer in Fugu in northern Shaanxi, also gathered a group of hungry people to rebel, Gao Yingxiang in northern Shaanxi was in Ansai, Wang Zuohang, Feishan Tiger, and Big Red Wolf were in Yichuan, Wang Hu and Heisha God were in Luochuan, Wang Monk was in Yanchuan, Wang Daliang was in southern Hanzhong, Wang Jiayin was in Qingyang, Gansu, and Zhou Dawang also planted a flag in Wudu. The situation is getting more and more out of control, especially when he sees Gao Yingxiang's name, Chongzhen is even more sweaty, and the first generation of "King Chuang" finally appeared.
