Chapter 458: The conspiracy is approaching
As soon as the Houjin army was dispatched, Yuan Chonghuan got the news.
"There are too few soldiers and horses under the command of General Man and General Hou, and they are not the opponents of the Tartars."
Yuan Chonghuan immediately decided: "He Kegang, follow me to lead the army north, waiting for the opportunity to attack the Tartar flank." ”
"Yes!"
He Kegang immediately mobilized the main force of the concentrated army, and under the leadership of Yuan Chonghuandi, went north along the tall city wall of the Beijing Division.
Long before Huang Taiji attacked Desheng Gate, he sent a sentry to keep an eye on Yuan Chonghuan.
Knowing that Yuan Chonghuan was dispatched, Huang Taiji immediately said: "Order Mang Gurtai to lead the left flank, be sure to intercept the Guanning army, and when I defeat Man Gui, I will come to support him." ”
"Huh." Sony sped away.
Sonny, who carried the banner on his back, rode a tall horse, and rushed into the army formation of Manggultai like the wind.
"Pass the Great Khan's order, and order Sanbeile to lead the left flank to intercept Yuan Chonghuan who is moving north."
Sonny didn't need to dismount, "When the Great Khan is defeated, he will lead his army to support." ”
"Got it."
Mang Gurtai saw that the person who came was not an ordinary herald, but Sonny of the Hada Division, and knew the seriousness of the matter.
This Sony is the Sony of "Kangxi Dynasty".
It's just that Sony in the TV series has entered his old age and is old. And Sony at this time was very young.
His father was the "Baksh", i.e. Doctor, of the Hada Department. Generations served the former Jurchen overlord Wangtai, and the family environment nurtured Sony.
At a young age, he was not only excellent in martial arts, but also proficient in the languages of various ethnic groups, which was deeply appreciated by Huang Taiji.
"Come with me!"
Mang Gurtai shouted loudly, and moved south with the left flank of the Houjin army.
The left wing, including Abatai, Azig, Dolgon, Duoduo, Hauge and other big figures in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, they killed together in the direction where Yuan Chonghuan was.
Before the two armies met, the Houjin army outside the Desheng Gate and the Ming army led by Man Gui and Hou Shilu were about to clash.
Huang Taiji thought that he had the chance to win, and suddenly had an inspiration, and actually ordered the Jin army to stop advancing.
"Old man, what are you doing here?"
Dai Shan asked with a confused expression.
"Second brother is not in a hurry, Man Gui can't run, I have to let a group of arrogant people in the Beijing Division see one thing."
Huang Taiji pointed to the Ming army firearms hand following behind him.
"Oh, you're playing a big knife in front of Guan Mafa's door."
Dai Shan was anxious at the time, "You haven't seen Yang Chengying's firearms, which are many times stronger than our pile of things." ”
"Hey! If the Ming army had such good troops as Yang Chengying, I wouldn't even be able to touch the walls of Jizhen. ”
Huang Taiji gave an order, and a few rows of firearms behind him, carrying a mess of small cannons, rushed to the forefront of the line.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The small cannon with low power and short range did not cause any damage to the Ming army outside the Desheng Gate.
"This Tartar is so interesting, it actually stopped in the middle of the attack."
Hou Shilu heard the sound of cannons, "Just to put a few cannons, I really don't understand what they are thinking." ”
"Whatever they think, it's a bad battle for us."
Man Gui glanced back at his own hundred family members and the four thousand nine hundred Datong troops, and sighed.
"What are you afraid of with 5,000 elite soldiers?"
Hou Shilu said depressedly: "I just called it miserable, I came with 5,000 elites, but there were only 200 families left to ask for food all the way. ”
"Two hundred, that's good. I'm only a hundred. ”
"Mr. Man, what did you say? You're a hundred! ”
Hou Shilu couldn't help but look back, only to realize that the dress was different.
Rough!
The dignified Datong General Soldier has only a hundred families under his command, who will believe it.
"Otherwise, if it weren't for the last time Datong was looted by Lin Dan Khan, the imperial court transported a batch of grain."
Man Gui said helplessly: "I'm just like you, I want food all the way to Jingshi." ”
Speaking of this, Man Gui also felt very sorry for Hou Shilu.
The last time he met Abatai and Yue Yu in Shunyi, he directly left Hou Shilu and ran away, resulting in the death of more than 1,000 Hou Shilu's soldiers.
If you don't run, you can't do it. He had just arrived in Shunyi, and the troops had not had time to rest and recuperate, and they did not have the strength to fight the Tartars.
"I've been owed wages for many years, and I can still raise hundreds of families."
Hou Shilu was surprised: "You have been in the fully paid Guanning Army for so many years, how can you only have a hundred families!" ”
"Master Hou doesn't know that the Guan Ning Army, like the Jinzhou Army, sends the salary to every soldier, and there are also errand officers who are specifically responsible for the salary."
Man Gui said: "I can't embezzle military salaries, so I haven't saved money." Last time in Shunyi, you thought I was willing. ”
"Ahh My God, I thought that the rate of 200 families was to make up the number, but I thought that I was the main force! ”
Hou Shilu's eyes were dark, and he didn't have the heart to study the incident of Shunyi in detail.
It's a hammer!
Two general soldiers, 300 families, facing tens of thousands of elites of Tartars.
After the cannon was fired, Huang Taiji found that the Ming army did not react, and his face was a little unbearable.
He was afraid that Dai Shan would think about him, so he hurriedly ordered the Baibayala Protector and the Mongol Army of the Two Red Banners to charge the first formation, and the Baibayala Protector of the Two Yellow Banners to attack the flank of the second formation, and directly attacked Mangui and Hou Shilu.
The Red Banner Bayala Protector Army was wiped out by the Jinzhou Army, and this Bayala Protector Army was rebuilt.
The Zhenghong Banner sent out personnel to train a new batch of Bayala Protectors.
Rao was like this, the family led by Man Gui and Hou Shilu couldn't resist it, and they were crushed in an instant, and the formation was also torn apart.
Hou Shilu looked at it, this is still a hammer, thinking that he has escaped anyway, and it is not bad this time. So he took the rest of the family and fled directly in the direction of Xuanfu.
Man Gui was also dumbfounded, seeing that if he continued to fight, the whole army would be annihilated.
As an excellent commander, Man Gui immediately decided to retreat in an orderly manner. I hope to follow the example of that year, use the firearms in the city to kill and injure the enemy, and regroup the ranks myself and then fight back.
However, he forgot that this was not Ningyuan City, and he was a small general soldier who was not taken seriously by the generals of the Beijing camp.
The general of the Beijing camp commanded the soldiers and aimed the muzzle of the cannon at Man Gui.
"Man Gui and Hou Shilu are both fierce generals in the world, and those who fight with them must be the elite of the Tartars."
The general said: "Even if they die in battle, we can inflict damage on the Tartar elite and repay Your Majesty." ”
This is far-fetched.
The real reason is that they don't know that Hou Shilu has fled at this time, but Hou Shilu is also in the retreating Ming army.
Before a large number of Xungui manors were looted, it was rumored that Hou Shilu had harassed him in the name of buying grain.
It is also said that Hou Shilu was nearby at the time, but did not protect their family property.
They were angry with Hou Shilu, and it was best to kill him with one shot.
The other reason is deeper.
Chongzhen Gang succeeded to the throne, and in order to rectify the Beijing camp, Li Banghua assisted the Beijing camp with the right attendant of the military department.
Li Banghua and Zou Yuanbiao were fellow villagers and classmates, and were attacked by courtiers as a member of the "Donglin Party".
After he took office, he dismissed a large number of old and weak domestic slaves who precariously received salaries and silver from Xunguimen, and also recovered more than 10,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp.
This completely offended Xungui.
Regardless of whether Hou Shilu is killed or not, the black pot can be put on Li Banghua's head.
A well-known mystery in the history of the late Ming Dynasty happened.
