Chapter 205: It's Your Turn
Death is a terrible thing for anyone.
But when death conflicts with faith, some people will choose faith without hesitation.
Mang Gurtai is dead.
But the war will not stop because of his death.
Cao Wenzhao did not give the order to stop the fighting. More than 10,000 cavalry rushed back and forth on the battlefield, wantonly slaughtering the infantry who had no time to escape.
After a long time, everything calmed down.
"Report to the general army, the Tartars have all been killed."
"The old rule, cut off people's heads to build a Beijing view. The corpse was buried in a pit on the spot, digging a little deeper. ”
"Yes!"
Thanks to everyone's efforts, a large pit was soon dug and corpses were thrown into it.
As Belle, Mang Gultai's body did not receive any preferential treatment, and was rudely thrown into a large pit by the soldiers. The characters who used to be powerful seem to be no different after death.
"Chief Cao Bing, are you okay with your injuries?" Gui Yingcha came to Cao Wenzhao's side and asked, looking at the wound on Cao Wenzhao's arm and asked with concern.
"It's fine, little injury. How many people have you lost? ”
"Nearly four thousand. To be honest, Jiannu's combat effectiveness is still very strong. That is, if I run into you, otherwise my 10,000 cavalry will not be enough for them to kill. ”
"Haha. I just heard on the battlefield that you were shot to death by Aobai, what's the matter? ”
"Don't mention it, the Ao Bai somehow took aim at me, and an arrow struck me in the back of the heart, causing me to fall off my horse in fright. If it weren't for the stab-proof vest given by His Majesty when I paid tribute a few years ago, I'm afraid my corpse would be cold by now. ”
"You're lucky. If Ao Bai shoots you in the neck, I guess you will still die. ”
"yes."
As he was talking, Cao Bianjiao ran over.
"Chief soldier, I'll lead three thousand dragoons to chase Huang Taiji, right?"
"No need to go."
"Why?"
"Your Majesty's will, don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
Cao Wenzhao glared at him and said.
Cao Bianjiao nodded silently and did not speak. Since it is His Majesty's will, there is nothing more to say.
Huang Taiji, on the other end, had already fled eastward for hundreds of miles frantically at this time. The war horse under the seat was panting, and it was afraid that something would go wrong if it ran any further.
"Aobai, let everyone slow down, presumably the Ming army will not chase after you."
Huang Taiji slowed down his horse and gave an order to Ao Bai on the side. The Ming army didn't catch up, probably encircling and suppressing his Eight Banners infantry who didn't have time to escape.
Looking at the cavalry that broke through at this time, there were less than 5,000 people. All of them were depressed, and there was no morale to speak of.
Fifth brother, are you still alive?
Huang Taiji glanced back at the way he came, and thought silently in his heart. Although there are many contradictions on weekdays, open and secret battles, if Mang Gurtai really dies here, it is really not good news for Dajin at this time.
"Great Khan, there is a situation ahead." Just as he was thinking, a scout rode his horse and galloped forward, approached Huang Taiji, and reported loudly.
Huang Taiji was taken aback, could it be that there was a Ming army in front of him to intercept him.
"What's the situation?" Huang Taiji pretended to be calm and said.
"Korqin Badali is stationed at the front."
When Huang Taiji heard this, he didn't get angry, if he hadn't stopped Cao Bianjiao, how could Cao Bianjiao run to support Cao Wenzhao, if it wasn't for Cao Bianjiao's support, as long as Cao Wenzhao was killed by Mang Gurtai and Ao Bai together, the result of this battle might not be good.
"Catch up!"
Huang Taiji's face was gloomy, and he ordered to march in the direction of Badali.
After a while, I met Badali stationed here by a small river.
Huang Taiji, who was still full of anger, was half angry, and the Horqin Mongolian cavalry at this time gave him a feeling of one word:
Miserable!
When they came, there were less than two thousand of the five thousand elite horsemen who were majestic and high-spirited, and they were all sitting or standing with their heads down, and they still looked a little elite.
The sound of horses' hooves of Huang Taiji and the others attracted their attention, and Badali quickly greeted them.
"Great Khan! Whining! It's kind of waiting for you. That Cao Bianjiao is too strong, we can't defeat the army if we kill it, we have no choice, we have to escape, and if we continue to fight, we will have to be wiped out. ”
Badali's face was miserable, and his arms were tied haphazardly with a piece of cloth, clearly injured.
Jianbadali and his subordinates were in this tragic situation, and Huang Taiji was not able to get angry again. People are helping, and it's not easy to do this.
He looked at the remnants of Badali, and then at his own.
Sympathy.
"Badali, why aren't you leaving here? Not afraid of the Ming army chasing after you? ”
"I can't walk, and if I walk again, the horse will be tired to death. What about Manggul Taibel? Badali looked around and didn't find Mang Gurtai's figure, and asked curiously.
"I don't know."
Huang Taiji's face turned cold, and he said angrily.
Which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned, there is a disease.
Looking at the Ao Bai who gave him a wink, Badali didn't dare to ask again.
"Great Khan, we just robbed a village, some cattle and sheep. Let's divide and eat it. ”
"Very good."
It's okay not to say it, but when it comes to eating, Huang Taiji becomes hungry.
Damn, don't care, I'll talk about it when I'm full.
The Cao Wenzhao soldiers on the other end were also eating, but unlike Huang Taiji, the Ming army was warmly entertained by Hudun Rabbit in Pangu Town.
"Mr. Cao, our tribe has suffered a lot of losses this time. Can you make a suggestion to Your Majesty that this autumn's market festival be enlarged? In the past, there was not enough tea and cloth, but now these things are still very expensive on the grassland. ”
"Great Khan, why did Su Budi flee to your territory? Isn't it because he betrayed Huang Taiji and turned to you? Isn't it your duty to protect him? If we hadn't sent troops, I'm afraid your territory would have been in chaos by now. What's more, you can tolerate Huang Taiji showing off his power on your turf? Besides, nearly a thousand people died in our army, who should I ask for tea? ”
"Mr. Cao, the truth is this, don't we also have our own difficulties. If you see if this will work, we will push down the price of wool a little more, and you will report it to Your Majesty. ”
"Well, I'll report this to Your Majesty. But whether it will succeed or not can be said. ”
"Thank you Mr. Cao, I toast you! Do it first for respect. As he spoke, he picked up his glass and drank it down.
Hudun Rabbit smiled, although the soldier died, but in exchange for benefits, it was worth it for him.
Cao Wenzhao took a sip lightly, put down the wine glass and did not speak again.
Early in the morning of the second day, Cao Wenzhao left Pangu Town under the pity-by-farewell of Hudun Rabbit.
Directly south from Zhangjiakou into the customs, returned to Xuanfu, and reported the battle situation here to Zhu Youzhen.
Zhu Youzhen was not surprised to get the news.
With the current equipment and training intensity of the Ming army, it is really not difficult to fight these Mongols and Jiannu who can't even get together their armor.
It was Mang Gurtai's death that surprised him a little, but he was relieved when he thought about Cao Bianjiao's force value.
He ordered to reward the soldiers who went out on the expedition, especially Cao Bianjiao, who was directly promoted to general.
Then, he gave an order to Wang Lai, who was outside Jinzhou Pass, and asked him to start planning.
Wang Laipin's first reaction when he received the order was very confused, he had never seen Cao Wenzhao, but judging from the results this time, it really deserved his reputation. and Cao Bianjiao, who has never heard of it, can actually suppress Ao Bai and kill Mang Gurtai.
Sure enough, a mountain is higher than a mountain.
But then came some depression.
This Huang Taiji was beaten and there are still thousands of people left, and he is still playing with hair. The credit is gone!
But depressed to depressed, he still ordered his subordinates to be on guard everywhere, paying attention to intercepting the remnants of Huang Taiji who had fled.
On the other side, he ordered Wu Xiang to find Dorgon again.
"Baylor, Huang Taiji was defeated in Ming'an outside Xuanfu Pass, and only brought more than 4,000 horsemen to break through. Mang Gurtai died in battle! We said we did. It's your turn! ”
"The First Evolution"
"What!?" The three Dorgon brothers in the council chamber stood up in surprise at the same time.
"Mang Gurtai is really dead?" Azig asked, his eyes wide.
"It's true!"
Azig and Dorgon looked at each other in disbelief.
Mang Gurtai has been on the battlefield for many years, and even if he loses, he won't die so easily, right? Then I asked for details, and it really didn't sound like a fake.
"Baylor, when are you going to act?"
"How can I be sure if you're lying to us?" Dorgon asked.
Wu Xiang smiled angrily when he heard this.
"How can this be fake? If Baylor really doesn't believe it, he can send someone with me to see it. Anyway, Huang Taiji has to go around to Horqin and come back. ”
"Yes."
"Huh?"
Wu Xiang just talked casually, but he didn't expect Dolgon to agree.
"Okay, you can send someone with me, if you hesitate Huang Taiji comes back, you won't be able to do anything."
It's normal that Dorgon doesn't trust them, and if so, let him send someone to see them himself.
"Is his word credible?" After Wu Xiang left, Azig asked.
"I'm afraid it's true."
"Then why..."
"Ming people are cunning, if we exaggerate the facts, Huang Taiji's strength has no fundamental loss, and we are finished. For now, we will go to find out with Mingren, there is no need to take a detour, as long as the news is confirmed, we still have enough time. ”
