Chapter 189: Fraud
Why did reinforcements from the Ming army come?
It turned out to be a mistake caused by a time difference.
Xiong Tingbi, who was far away in Shanhaiguan, heard the news of Houjin's large-scale invasion, and immediately sent someone to inform Wang Huazhen to strengthen the garrison of Xipingbao and other places.
Wang Huazhen listened, but only half of it, and only sent Luo Yigui to lead 3,000 people to Xiping Fort.
After receiving the news that Xipingbao was besieged, Wang Huazhen was shocked.
But he was worried that the Ming army would support him and would be "encircled and reinforced" by Nurhachi, so he didn't want to rescue him at first.
The important thing is that he didn't know that the Mongol army would not come, and he was still looking forward to it.
Then, Yang Chengying's information was delivered.
It turned out that it was not Nurhachi who attacked Liaoxi, but his two sons.
Wang Huazhen suddenly felt that she could do it, she couldn't beat Nurhachi, and she couldn't beat his two sons!
So he immediately ordered that Liu Qu, the chief soldier, led the army to aid Xiping Fort with the staff general Hei Yunhe, the deputy general Li Bingcheng, Ma Chengxian and others.
When reinforcements arrived, they found that Fort Xiping had been captured.
They saw that the Houjin army on the periphery was cleaning up the battlefield, and made a miscalculation, thinking that they could take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to launch a strong attack and defeat the Houjin army in one fell swoop.
"Enemy attack! Array ......! ”
When the Houjin army saw the enemy coming, they immediately formed an array spontaneously under the command of Niu Lu Ezhen.
They pushed the cart and instead launched a charge towards the Ming army.
At the same time, Dai Shan, Huang Taiji, Liu Xingzuo, Yue Zhuo, Shuo Tuo and other generals led their cavalry to outflank the Ming army from both wings.
The tide of battle changed in an instant.
"The slave soldiers have formed a formation, it's incredible!"
"How did they do it?"
"Oh my God, it's over......"
"Run!"
The Ming army, who was in the front row, had already muttered and talked in private.
Seeing Houjin Jun killing, Deng Shi panicked, and then turned around and ran.
Throw away weapons, armor, flags, and other items one by one.
This run has brought others along as well.
directly triggered the rout of Liu Qubu.
Before Liu Qu became the commander-in-chief, he was originally the deputy general of the Beijing patrol battalion, and was recommended by Yang He, a famous minister in the late Ming Dynasty.
The last time in the battle of Liaoyang, he ran once and was always ashamed.
But he lacks experience in leading troops, and his prestige is not enough to stabilize his position.
In order to contain the rout of his subordinates, he had to lead his subordinates to charge personally.
Seeing the Ming army's handsome banner and killing in his own direction, Huang Taiji immediately ordered:
"Quick, give the order, all soldiers will attack the enemy's flag, be sure to kill!"
"Huh!"
The heralds who accompanied him blew their trumpets. Subsequently, the flag was issued.
The flag spread quickly.
Dai Shan saw it and pulled out the saber at his waist, "Soldiers, victory is here, and I will directly attack the enemy's commander's banner!" ”
"Huh!"
The accompanying hoplites responded loudly.
No matter how many families Liu Qu has, he can't withstand the siege of Houjin's heavy troops.
Soon, the outlying families were slaughtered.
Liu Qu knew that he couldn't get out, so he charged the good department of the dynasty with the heart of death.
The horse's hooves trampled the ground, leaving behind a trail of hoof prints.
Seeing that he was going to fight the Houjin Army in person, Liu Qu shouted, "Kill!" ”
Suddenly, the horse's hooves slipped and Liu Qu's body fell heavily to the ground.
Didn't wait for him to react.
"Kill!"
Houjin Chongqi swarmed up, slashed at Liu Qu with a knife, and directly hacked Liu Qu to death.
Blood spilled all over the ground.
Dai Shan slashed the soldier who overturned the commander's banner with a knife.
The handsome flag landed.
"The commander of the Ming army is dead, our army will win!"
Dai Shan yelled.
The Houjin army cheered and more actively pursued the fleeing Ming army.
Liu Qu's troops were completely defeated.
The retreating Ming soldiers attacked the Ming army under the Black Cloud Crane.
As a result, the Ming army of the Black Cloud Crane Department also fled with them.
Heiyunhe and his subordinates were exposed to the Houjin army's field of vision.
Seeing that the opponent was waiting for him, Huang Taiji immediately ordered:
"Do not engage the infantry in battle, let the cavalry destroy them with bows and arrows."
"Huh."
The heavy horsemen under the white flag opened their bows and arrows one after another, shooting arrows at the Black Cloud Crane and his subordinates.
Heiyunhe is only a mere general, and the number of family members under his command is limited, where can he resist so many bows and arrows.
After only three rounds of archery, the Black Cloud Crane and his subordinates were all shot.
Li Bingcheng, who was at the rear of the Ming army and had the smallest troops, saw this situation and had no intention of daring to fight at all, so he could only flee with the defeated army.
"Continue the pursuit, and be sure to completely defeat this Ming army!"
Dai Shan keenly grasped the battlefield situation and immediately ordered the whole army to pursue.
The Houjin army roared and pursued the Ming army.
Huang Taiji, who was chasing after him, at this time, had a plan in his heart - to steal Quang Ninh.
Why do you use the word "plagiarism"?
This is related to the core point of Huang Taiji's plan.
"Four Baylors, the man has been caught."
The soldiers rode their horses to catch up with Huang Taiji and reported loudly.
"Good. The rest of the men continued the pursuit, and I caught up in a moment. ”
Huang Taiji turned his horse's head and took some of his own soldiers to a ruined temple in the wilderness with some of his own soldiers.
In the ruined temple, several low-level generals of the Ming army were tied hand and foot, and knelt on the ground with their heads bowed.
Huang Taiji turned over and dismounted, and came to them:
"Heads up, I have something to ask you."
The generals of the Ming army raised their heads one by one.
When they saw a big fat man with a face full of flesh in front of them, they trembled in fright and lowered their heads again.
The corners of Huang Taiji's mouth twitched unnaturally a few times, and he felt insulted, and his hand holding the knife was a little itchy.
But for the sake of the ultimate goal, he endured.
"You are so afraid of me, you don't have to look up and talk to me."
Huang Taiji said: "Do you want to live well? Also get land, subordinates and daughters-in-law? ”
"Yes." The generals replied tremblingly.
"Well, Benbel has something you need to do for me."
Huang Taiji said: "After the deed is completed, I will ask my father Khan to assign you to my Zhengbai Banner and receive the corresponding reward." ”
The generals looked at each other.
One of them was a little bolder and cautiously asked, "May I ask this general, what do you need us to do?" ”
"Disguised as a rout, he fled to Quang Ninh City. As soon as we arrived, we opened Quang Ninh City. ”
After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he asked, "Can you do it?" ”
The generals still looked at each other and didn't dare to open their mouths.
Huang Taiji's face was cold: "Grinding and chirping, at first glance, it is useless." Come on, cut them all down for me. ”
"Huh!"
The Houjin soldiers moved when they heard the order.
The generals of the Ming army were all as pale as dirt, and they were busy begging for mercy, and expressed their willingness to respond.
"Very well, if you dare to play tricks."
Huang Taiji sneered: "As soon as Guangning City is broken, I will pull you out one by one and cut you with a thousand knives!" ”
"Don't dare, I definitely don't dare." The generals of the Ming army kowtowed like pounding garlic.
"I hope so." After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he left the ruined temple and went straight to his mount.
Huang Taiji turned over his horse and ordered his soldiers to write down their names, and then gave them a few fast horses, so that these inner soldiers could go to Quang Ninh City one step earlier.
After giving the order, Huang Taiji rode away.
