Chapter 67: The Bloody Battle of Datong XX

In order to protect the families and hard-won shelters in the rear, the male group of refugees has generated unprecedented momentum and twisted into a "hemp rope" with the local people. Although the combat strength was inferior to the menacing Qing soldiers, they only relied on their flesh and blood to build a human wall, and dragged Dagubian in place without an inch.

Those who went forward fell to the ground, and those who came after them rose to the top, brandishing the jagged farm tools and blades in their hands, and fighting to the death against the hateful Tartars.

From now on, at least in Datong, the inner spirit of the "peasant rebel army" is no longer exclusive to the Dashun army. Chongzhen, who still symbolizes the righteousness of the world, uses his short-term heart-to-heart governance to give birth to Buddhas among refugees and win the hearts of these people.

At the critical juncture, Chongzhen resettled thousands of refugees in the palace of the king, so that these thousands of refugees stood up to defend Datong at the last moment.

The Ming army won a great victory in the north and its morale was high. Without waiting for Tang Tong to meet with him, Wang Jinchao led the crowd to return to help, and the rest of the people had to follow, and the camp was not closed at night, and the light cavalry was extremely fast, so he took the lead in rushing to the city.

The outposts and houses in the north of the city were empty, and Ma Harrier saw from a distance that there was a fire spreading in the west of the city, and hurriedly led the team there. After clearing a few places in a row, after killing more than a dozen Tartar Qing soldiers, Ma Harrier was able to bump into Sun Xuanhuai's family, fortunately it came in time, Sun Xuanhuai himself was only slightly injured, several slaves died in the courtyard, and his wife was unharmed in the bedroom.

After listening to Sun Xuanhuai's story, Ma Harrier stayed at night and did not close the camp to clean up and kill the Qing soldiers who were chasing and killing the Qing soldiers who were wanton in the rear, and he went to Chongzhen's residence alone.

Sun Xuanhuai accompanied the camp at night, and collected the rescued people and merchants along the way, and the danger in the rear was not only the military disaster, but also the fire that gradually rose.

"Master Sun, the granary is out of water!" Song Xiance, who didn't know where to hide before, walked out of the street corner, Sun Xuanhuai screamed when he heard it, and followed the panting Song Xiance to the granary.

.......

"Dog guts!"

Ma Harrier marked the general flag, and Li Jinxiang kicked open the hidden door, and the miserable situation inside was like purgatory. There were dozens of corpses lying on the ground, old and young all smelling of blood, and seven or eight pigtailed soldiers stripped naked and stood in the courtyard to rape the refugee women.

"Who are you?" One of them looked at Li Jinxiang and said, his expression was a little panicked, but he still didn't forget to continue to sprint.

He never wore the fat jacket of the Ming army when he went out at night, and he didn't recognize it at once because the Qing soldiers gritted his teeth and slowly approached with a knife, and the fifty brothers behind him were all like this.

"The one who slaughtered you."

........

Chongzhen rode to the battlefield in the east of the city, and as far as he could see, the scene was unprecedentedly tragic, how many people had to die to make it impossible to have a foothold on the ground?

"After the countryside is deserted, the flesh and blood are displaced from the road." Chongzhen's words were full of sadness, and he could foresee that behind the inhumane war was endless trauma to the people, and the cycle would not stop.

Wang Jinchao and others fought bravely, successfully repelled the main force of Dagubian, and after receiving the imperial order brought by Ma Harrier, the whole army went out of the city to continue to pursue the retreating Qing soldiers.

Chongzhen slowly moved forward along this road with blood, and this battle should have been won.

........

In the face of Jiang Huo's constant attacks, He Du was annoyed.

The damned Ming army attacked his main camp tentatively every time, and once he organized a personal guard counterattack, the Ming army immediately retreated, and after a while, it came again, and the cycle went on and on.

However, this is not a big problem, as long as the frontal battle is smooth, the Ming army's unpopular techniques will be self-defeating. Two hours after the start of the battle, Dagubian broke through the city gate on this road, and presumably Mengchai on the other side of the river was also fast.

Thinking of this, He Du smiled and opened the brocade box on the table, which contained open oiled paper, in which a brown plaster was placed. And the degree of lust, this was the case before entering the customs, recently I felt that the bed was a little weak, so I paid out of my own pocket to find someone to buy this thing.

Don't look at this plaster is inconspicuous, one or two can be worth a hundred gold! I heard that this recipe came from the hands of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, taking the "A Hibiscus" of the Western Regions as the main material, supplemented by other precious medicinal materials to boil, after drying, it becomes such a brown cake shape, it has the effect of nourishing yin and yang, prolonging life, and its name is called "longevity ointment".

He Du took out the cigarette stick, pinched a pinch of plaster and put it in, lit a fire and smoked it, this plaster is too much, and can only be smoked in small shares.

The curling green smoke rose in the tent, the physical and mental exhaustion disappeared, and He Du lay on the couch fluttering like a fairy, and couldn't help but praise: "There is such a miracle medicine in the world." After a few puffs, I suddenly fell asleep.

"Where's Dumbelor?"

In Datong City, Wang Jinchao and Tang Tong fell from the sky, and Dagubian was caught off guard, and saw that the rout had become a hasty retreat, but the Ming army did not slow down to chase and bite, and the retreating Qing soldiers were scattered, and Dagubian only retreated to the camp with a few hundred remnants around him.

When the tent curtain was opened, a pungent smell of urine came to his face, and Dagu covered his nose and got into the tent, only to see Hedu sleeping soundly with a cigarette stick in his left hand.

"Damn, Lao Tzu died and came back to life in front, you ....." Da Gubian was very resentful, and there was another sentence in the back, but he couldn't help but say it. After shouting a few times in a row, he didn't see Hedu's movement, and Dagubian had no choice but to pick up Hedu and take him out of the tent.

"Retreat!" He Du was unconscious, Meng guessed his whereabouts, Da Gubian was the supreme commander in the Qing camp, and with his order, the Niu Lu acted quickly. Wu Weihua, who had been staying in the Han Banner camp, saw that the people were packing up their things, and hurriedly went to ask, "Ladies and gentlemen, have we won?" ”

The people were all concerned about packing up the things they brought out, who had time to pay attention to him as a Han person, Wu Weihua couldn't get a response, so he had to go to the main camp of Hedu to see the situation.

"Commander Dagubian, this is the ....." Fang arrived at the gate of the main camp, and met Dagubian on horseback commanding a cart full of people, and the cart was full.

"Wu, come here." Da Gubian beckoned, waited for Wu Weihua to get closer, and then said, "Bring your people to our palace." ”

"Huh?" Wu Weihua pointed to his nose, me? Your Highness? Da Gubian's face was full of displeasure, and he took out his knife and pointed at Wu Wei, who was at a loss, and said, "What? Isn't it possible? ”

"Okay." If he dared to say a word, Dagubian would have cut off his head on the spot.

.......

"Jianyu is withdrawing troops." Jiang Huo was lying in ambush in the dark, observing the movements of the Qing camp, and saw that someone was gradually pushing a cart out, and it seemed that he was going to march towards his side.

"General, isn't the main force still attacking the city?" He Qiu wondered.

Jiang Huo's eyes suddenly lit up, he had tried to attack the Qing camp many times before, but he had no achievements, and now he was worried about how to break the situation, and the words marked for him reminded him of what to ask for.

"The grain truck was robbed by us, and we didn't retreat at all, and now there is only one reason for the sudden withdrawal of troops."

"What is it?"

"Datong.... It was His Majesty who won. ”
