Chapter 17: The Dead
In the sound of long live the mountain call, Chongzhen and the worshipful eyes of the soldiers at the head of the city met, their complexions remained unchanged, but their faces were slightly swollen red.
Excited by the turn of victory, and now that his mind had calmed down, Chongzhen realized that it was not actually feasible militarily for him to allow You Shiwei to send troops and ask for an order to increase the rescue team.
If Man Gui did not return in time, if Huang Taiji did not suddenly withdraw his troops......
This bitter battle under the city may still be confiscated by the entire border army, which is no different from the annihilation of the entire army of Mangui and Sun Zushou in the historical changes.
Chongzhen was secretly vigilant in his heart, as Qi Jiguang said, there are three ways to fight a big war, there is a calculation war, there is a sacrifice war, and there is a confused war.
I still have one chance left to simulate, so I can only plan to fight in the future, and I can't fight today's sacrificial battle and confused war.
After packing up his mood, Chongzhen ordered him to drive left and right, and he wanted to personally greet the soldiers fighting outside the city.
After many simulation experiences, Chongzhen understood a truth, if you want to consolidate the loyalty of your subordinates, you must not miss the opportunity to share the joy of victory together.
The first to enter the city were the volunteers and Jingying troops led by Sun Zushou, although they did not go into hand-to-hand combat, but they did not suffer battle damage, but they were the most vivid.
Then there are the two border troops led by Ma Dengyun and Hou Shilu, who suffered quite losses under the charge of Jianzhou, but they are still fully organized, everyone holds their heads high, and their morale is much higher than that after the defeat of Deshengmen.
The second is the Changping soldiers, which was originally the strongest Qinwang army in the city, but now everyone is injured, and less than half of the soldiers who can walk in with their backs straightened are completely disabled.
What shocked Chongzhen even more was that You Shiwei, the chief soldier of Changping, was not among them.
The last to enter the city was Man Gui, who was half-kneeling in front of Chongzhen with a sad face.
"Your Majesty, You Shiwei, the chief soldier of Changping, has sacrificed his life for the country."
Chongzhen didn't say a word, just helped Man Gui up.
Some civilians drove donkeys and carriages into the city with the Shanxi soldiers. There were both the corpses of the Ming army and the heads of the Jianzhou soldiers on the car.
Man Gui pointed to a horse-drawn driveway, "That's the body of General You Bing." Originally, the Chinese army of Jiannu had already received the order to retreat, and I don't know what the chief of the slave was crazy about, so he insisted on killing him regardless of the damage of the white-armored soldiers around him, and killed General You's soldiers. ”
Chongzhen stepped forward and saw that although You Shiwei's hair was messy and his face was dirty, his voice and smile were still as if he were at present.
He was long dead, but in his right hand he still held a bloodied iron spear.
There was an extremely long knife wound in the chest, which was directly cut into it four or five inches long.
Chongzhen looked back and asked Li Shouqi for a big hat worn by the general soldier.
Personally straightened You Shiwei's hair and appearance, and then put on a big hat for him.
After a pause, he said to Man Gui, "The gentleman is dying in the crown." ”
Man Gui's heart stirred, and he thanked You Shiwei in a dumb voice, and pointed to the civilians who were driving donkey carriages with panicked expressions, "These are the people in the suburbs of Beijing. I watched Jianzhou fight with me, and I expected that there would not be many soldiers in the city who could fight. ”
"So I sent scouts to the county towns and villages where Jianzhou had been plagued, and these fellow villagers were sensible and knew that if Jianzhou was not defeated, they would have to suffer."
"So I made them harness their carts of cattle, and when I joined the battle, I would raise dust in the distance, as if there was an army behind them. At the same time, the guns and cannons were fired in unison, and the noise was noisy, which scared Jianzhou away. ”
Chongzhen suddenly felt in his heart, it turned out that Huang Taiji's sudden retreat was because of Man Gui's suspicious plan.
It seems that Huang Taiji doesn't like to read very much, at least Jianzhou's supreme soldier book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" hasn't worked hard enough.
Looking at everyone, Chongzhen nodded, as if to write down everyone's appearance.
"I will order the household department and the military department to write down, and the soldiers and civilians who participated in the war today will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds."
Maybe the contributions of these righteous people will not be recorded in the history books, but Chongzhen will not forget the efforts of these ordinary people.
Wen Yan encouraged the generals present, and Chongzhen asked the people under the city to hurry up and prepare to make food, and then hurry up to prepare to defend the city after the soldiers were full.
Although Jianzhou retreated, it was impossible for Huang Taiji not to leave scouts to reconnoiter the situation of the Ming reinforcements.
In order to ensure safety, the guards of the Jingshi still cannot be relaxed.
The corners of Chongzhen's mouth curled slightly, I don't know how Huang Taiji reacted when he knew that he was also scared away by this suspicious plan like Cao Mengde.
Sure enough, after Huang Taiji knew that he had been fooled, he became even more annoyed and angry.
Not only did they intensify their attack on the city wall, but they also sent a small force of cavalry to pretend to move in the direction of Changping, in an attempt to mobilize the Qinwang army in the city to protect the mausoleum.
Although the civil and military officials were highly nervous, Chongzhen himself didn't care.
That's not my ancestor anyway.
Hold on to him for a hundred days!
Three days later.
Huang Taiji, who had attacked the city many times without success, and one or two fire bubbles burst out from the corners of his mouth, was kneeling down in front of the bed of his henchman Yue Tuo, the master of the red flag, holding the other party's hand.
One of Yue Tuo's thighs fell and broke, and the blood and pus that flowed out could not be stopped.
Although there are Jianzhou witch doctors who apply traditional mashed herbs to it, it is obvious that they are only slightly exhausted and have no power to return to the sky.
"King Khan." Yue Tuo suddenly opened his eyes and struggled to speak.
Huang Taiji felt sad in his heart, he knew that Yue Tuo had reached the last moment of his life. "Talk less, save more strength, and you'll be fine."
Yue Tuo stared at Huang Taiji's eyes and said, "Great Khan, don't bother me, I know that I have a short life." ”
He smiled wryly, "I'm going to die, but my Amma isn't here." ”
Huang Taiji came from the sadness, "I'll go and tell him to go!" ”
It turned out that although Yue Tuo was the eldest son of Da Beile Daishan, after Dai Shan was widowed and married, he listened to the pillow wind, and he didn't like Yue Tuo and Shuo Tuo, his own sons, and even abused them in every way.
There was even a scandal that Dai Shan, as his father, plotted to seize his son Yuetuo's family property, chased and killed Shuotuo, and was finally punished by Nurhachi for never inheriting the unification.
And this also made Dai Shan even more dislike these two sons, so much so that Yue Tuo, who was seriously injured, only had Huang Taiji's uncle by his side.
On the other hand, since Huang Taiji came to power, he has been greeting Yue Tuo and protecting him.
Yue Tuo suddenly grabbed Huang Taiji's sleeve, "Great Khan, don't go!" I have something to say to you..."
"I'm listening!"
Huang Taiji hurriedly leaned over, only to hear a faint breath of words. "I really want to..."
"What do you want? I'm going to get it for you! ”
"I think you can be my Amma."
Huang Taiji took care of Yue Tuo, and also took the opportunity to mix sand into the two red flag forces.
However, even though the city government was as deep as Huang Taiji, when he heard Yue Tuo's words, he couldn't help but shed tears.
Despite his political considerations, he actually regarded this hard-working nephew as half of his own son.
It's just that when he wiped away his tears and looked at Yue Tuo again, the other party's face was already cold.
Huang Taiji mourned in his heart, but he heard someone outside the tent calling, "The Great Khan, the Second Beyler and the Third Beyler have returned, and they are staying in your tent with the Great Beyler, saying that they want to discuss matters with you." ”
Looking for me? Huang Taiji's mood sank suddenly, this is not good.
Since Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne of the Great Khan of Jianzhou, in order to continue to rob the Ming Dynasty, he first launched the Battle of Ningjin, but it ended in failure.
In contrast, Amin attacked North Korea but won a great victory, and even listened to the little Bel Yueto and Du Du who went with him say that this kid still had the calculation of becoming independent after conquering the whole of Korea.
He has been on the throne for two years and has not achieved any major results. This time, the lone army entered the fortress, and the other three Baylors all had complaints, and it was Huang Taiji who overrode public opinion as the Great Khan to break through the situation of being trapped outside the Ningjin defense line for a long time in the past.
By plundering the wealth, grain, grass, camels, horses, and livestock of the Ming Dynasty and distributing them to the subordinates, the position of the Great Khan of Huang Taiji should be more stable with this victory.
Even if the route from Karaqin to Zunhua can be maintained, Jianzhou will turn the Gyeonggi region of the Ming Dynasty into an ATM that can come and go freely.
However, today the city is defeated, and everything is different. Amin and Mang Gurtai, who were already at odds with Huang Taiji, will definitely think of a way to pull their pigtails.
Huang Taiji, who had a sad face, put down Yue Tuo's arm and returned to his usual calm and warm face.
"Then Ben Khan will go and meet them."
