Chapter 443 The death of Zhao Shujiao
If Lin Dan Khan really had 50,000 cavalry, he would still be driven to the west!
This must be a miscommunication, and the real situation is that the Houjin army led by Huang Taiji was too fierce and broke through the defense line of Jizhen.
Thinking of this, Yang Chengying couldn't sit still, and said to the envoy: "You go back now and tell Inspector Yuan, and I will lead the army to arrive later." ”
"Okay." The messenger was guided by his own soldiers and went down the tower.
"Immediately order the generals in the battalion to discuss matters at the General Army's Mansion."
Yang Chengying ordered.
"Yes." Zheng Zhilong left in response.
After discussion, they left Shang Kexi's standard battalion, Li Weiluan's firearms battalion and Xie Simei's women's battalion, Peng Haigu's artillery battalion, and Jin Guochen's leopard Tao battalion.
The rest of the soldiers and horses, except for the Yongjian Battalion and the Yingyang Battalion guarding Gaizhou, all marched westward.
In the shortest possible time, Guangningwei was laid down and the advantage of bordering Jinzhou was obtained.
However, as Yang Chengying was worried about, something happened to Zhao Shujiao in the end.
On the 30th, Zhao led the 4,000 iron cavalry to march for three days and nights and rushed to the Santun camp.
At this time, the four thousand iron horsemen were tired and hungry.
So Zhao led the sect to send people to shout to Zhu Guoyan, the chief soldier of Jizhen who was guarding the Santun camp, hoping to rest in the Santun camp.
Zhu Guoyan firmly disagreed.
According to the rules, after the 4,000 Guanning troops entered the city, they must send supplies, at least one meal.
Is there any food in Santun Camp?
Nope!
So, Zhu Guoyan told the envoy of Zhao Shujiao: "Although the Guanning Army is under the command of Inspector Yuan, my superior is the governor of Jizhen and Lord Liu, who is in charge of Jiliao's military affairs. ”
The military department was far away in Beijing, but he asked Zhao Shujiao to transfer the order, which was a deliberate evasion.
The news was transmitted back to Guan Ningjun, and Zhao Shujiao also understood what Zhu Guoyan meant.
He said to the subordinates who came back: "You tell Master Zhu that we don't want to eat or have any supplies. I begged him to let us go into the city and rest for the night, for we had not rested for three days and three nights. ”
"Yes." The subordinates, as messengers, told Zhu Guoyan the original words.
Zhu Guoyan still disagreed, if he didn't care, he, the chief soldier of Jizhen, would be derelict in his duties.
What's more, he heard that the Guan Ning army had good food, and all the soldiers under his command were hungry.
Out of this concern, Zhu Guoyan did not agree to Zhao Shujiao's entry into the city.
What's next?
Zhao Shujiao ran out of ideas.
"Master Zhao, according to Inspector Yuan's instructions, we can camp nearby and wait for Inspector Yuan."
Liu En, the deputy general under his command, suggested.
"No, you can't. Our army came to rescue Jizhen, seeing that Zunhua was in front of him, if he didn't save it, he would be impeached. ”
Another lieutenant, Zhao Shulun, disagreed: "We should go to Zunhua, where there is a place to rest." ”
"However, Inspector Yuan's order ......," Liu En also tried to refute.
"In the face of the impeachment of the Manchu Minister, Inspector Yuan may not be able to stop it. After all, Inspector Yuan is loyal to the country, not as arrogant and domineering as Yang Shuai, and is not controlled. ”
Zhao Shulun said.
If you do it like Yang Chengying, ten Yuan Inspectors are not enough to cut it.
Zhao Shujiao also felt that Zhao Shulun's words were reasonable, so he ordered the whole army to immediately start and rest outside Zunhua City.
When the army marches, for the sake of safety, it will send out a wide range of sentinels, and report the situation in front at any time.
However, Zhao led the 4,000 iron cavalry of the sect to march for three days and nights, and at this time he was already tired and sleepy.
The outposts ahead had not yet discovered the enemy, but they were discovered by the enemy first.
It turned out that after Huang Taiji arranged the retreat route, he led the army to camp five miles away in Zunhua and arranged to attack this northern fortified city.
When Azig heard reinforcements from the Ming army, he immediately sent troops to attack.
was pulled by Abatai: "Twelfth brother, the dispatch of the army should all be up to the Great Khan, we have consulted the Great Khan." ”
"The fighter plane is fleeting, and you can't catch up with any dish if you rely on asking for instructions to fight."
Azig said angrily.
"Twelfth brother! If the Great Khan is not there, of course I will listen to your initiative. ”
Abatai said unceremoniously: "But the Great Khan is here, we have to ask for instructions before fighting, otherwise it will cause the Great Khan to resent you and me." ”
"Okay, okay, just listen to you." Azig sat down and stopped talking.
Abatai then sent someone to inform the Great Khan.
Huang Taiji was discussing the details of the siege with the ministers of Baylor at this time, and when he heard the news, he immediately said: "You should attack, you tell Abatai and Azig, and do things neatly!" ”
After receiving the order of the Great Khan, Abatai and Azig immediately selected elite cavalry and Mongol troops and killed them in the direction of Zhao Shuojiao's march.
The other side was cavalry, and it was too late for Zhao Shujiao to retreat, so he had to lead the army to engage in a hurry.
While the cavalry of the two sides were fighting, Mang Gurtai, who was operating nearby, heard the movement and immediately led his army to outflank him.
Houjin Jun This is almost a kind of muscle memory, and no matter how contradictory there is, it will still cooperate on the battlefield, and it will cooperate quite well.
Under the attack of Abatai and Azig, and the outflanking of Mang Gurtai, the 4,000 Guanning army was besieged.
On the way to kill, Azig saw a veteran under the big army very close to him, so he hurriedly opened his bow and shot an arrow at the veteran.
The veteran was wielding his sword, and the figure in front of him swayed, completely oblivious to the arrow.
Azig is infinitely powerful, and the wolf's tooth arrows it sends out are also very fast.
In an instant, the veteran was hit by an arrow in the chest and fell off his horse.
Azig was overjoyed and shouted in his not very fluent Chinese: "You wait for the Lord to be dead, and you will not surrender!" ”
"Vote for you spicy next door!"
While someone scolded, he raised his knife and slashed at Azig.
Azig dodged the knife sideways, then quickly retracted his bow and took the broadsword to slash at the Ming army that attacked him.
The Ming soldiers hurriedly raised their knives and rungs, but unexpectedly, Azig was too strong and cut down the soldier with a knife.
This is a microcosm of Guan Ningjun.
The 4,000 cavalry were all wiped out, and only one Chinese army was killed, and several cavalrymen surrendered in despair.
"Haha...... This is war! ”
Azig, who was covered in blood, laughed and said, "What kind of local chickens and tile dogs used to fight!" ”
was happy, when he suddenly heard a soldier in armor shouting: "Oh my God, this is the general soldier Zhao who guards Jinzhou." ”
Mang Gurtai, Abatai and Azig hurried to watch.
Only then did I know that the veteran who was killed by Azig's arrow turned out to be Zhao Shujiao.
Zhao Shujiao, who had killed thousands of people in the battle to defend Jinzhou, actually died here in a daze.
"No wonder it's so difficult to fight, it turned out to be Guan Ningjun."
Azig said with a smile: "If the Ming army is like this, let's not talk about entering Jizhen, even Liaodong will not be able to be saved." ”
"Don't be emotional." Abatai said, "Zhao Shujiao is also a hero, so bury him, don't pick the armor on his body." ”
"Hmm." Azig asked the soldiers to carry Zhao Shujiao down and dig a pit and bury it.
After cleaning the battlefield, collect the troops and go back, and report to the Great Khan.
Huang Taiji was very happy to hear this, and immediately ordered the prisoners of the Guanning Army to be handed over to Azig, shaved their hair, and collected them.
The death of Zhao Shujiao can only make Huang Taiji happy, and there is only one that makes him excited - Zunhua City.
