Chapter 458: The World Returns to the Yuan V

"This goodbye, father, take care..."

Li Shaojin finally chose the Li family as the priority, of course, his choice was chosen by Li Ruzhen for him, the Li family has the title of Earl Ningyuan since the ancestor Li Chengliang, and it is gone to Li Ru's generation, and since the Shenyang incident, he himself has surrendered to Jiannu and lost the face of the Li family.

"I think back then, Nurhachi was just a servant who was whipped and led the horse in front of his father, how do you know that his heirs also have today," Li Ruzhen sighed, looked at Li Shaojin who got up, and said after a long time: "The Li family has Wan'er, in fact, it has been preserved, I know you begged Wan'er." ”

"Father..."

"I can't live, if I live, Wan'er can't explain it to the emperor, how did the world view this emperor at that time, as for your brother..."

After all, it is his own heir, Li Ruzhen thought about it, and said: "How he chooses, I can't control it, and I don't want to care about it, my vein, I have saved you, it's not bad." ”

"General..."Li Shaojin's personal army captain hurriedly broke into the military tent: "The Tartars are ready to be pulled, and the official army offensive outside the pass is becoming more and more ferocious. ”

Li Shaojin finally bowed to Li Ruhama again, then turned around and left, got out of the military tent, and whispered to the captain of the pro-soldiers: "Let's go to the place where Zuo Fu is held quickly." ”

Although Zuo Fu's detention point was heavily guarded, at this moment, because Huang Taiji's brigade was ready to escape, he had to need the help of Zuo Fu, the general soldier of Ning Yuan.

When Li Shaojin entered the cell where Zuo Fu was imprisoned, the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be a little weak, and waved back left and right, Li Shaojin stepped forward and immediately untied the chain on Zuo Fu's hand: "General soldier Zuo, you have suffered." ”

Although Zuo Fu is nearly fifty years old, he is in good health, although he has endured some hardships, he can also endure it, seeing the general dressed as a Tartar in front of him, Zuo Fu looked disdainful: "What, want to recruit the general?" But don't be delusional, Ben will live and die as a Ming person, what qualifications does Jiannu Tartar have to make Ben Jiang kneel? ”

Li Shaojin smiled bitterly, and then solemnly clenched his fists: "General Soldier Zuo, I am Li Shaojin, the grandson of Li Chengliang, the former general soldier of Liaodong, a few days ago under the city of Beijing anyway, I have agreed with His Majesty today to fight Jiannu in Shanhaiguan, and now the Tartar Emperor is about to escape, and my subordinates are not enough, so I have to ask for help from the identity of General Soldier Zuo." ”

Zuo Fu was shocked, but he was still more rational and did not respond directly, Li Shaojin saw this, and said again: "Maybe Zuo Zongbing doesn't believe it, but my cousin Li Wan'er is now the imperial concubine, and with this, I don't need to lie to Zuo Zongbing." ”

Hearing this, Zuo Fucai said, "Really? ”

Li Shaojin took off the iron helmet, and the money rat tail was gone, replaced by a bald head with sparse hair.

Zuo Fu believed it at this time, so he said: "I have been detained for a long time, and I don't know if the soldiers of that year are still in the pass. ”

Li Shaojin relaxed at this time, and carefully talked to Zuo Fu about the plan that was about to be launched.

...

The Great Wall Pass of Yiyuan Pass is the most suitable place for a large number of cavalry to pass through, and it is also the route that Ning Wan chose for Huang Taiji, and to reach the Yiyuan Pass Pass, you must pass through Shimen City, that is, Jiumen Shuikou, it also has a name, a piece of stone...

Outside the mouth of the Yiyuan, the commander of the 60th Division, Li Chengcheng, was blocking the defense, and he blocked all the soldiers under his command directly opposite the pass of the Yiyuan Pass, and dug trenches all over, in addition, each trench was also covered with new mines, once the cavalry fell, there was no possibility of survival.

And the most reassuring weapon for Li Cheng was that before leaving, Chen Cao ordered the arsenal to urgently deploy one hundred revolver guns to Weng Linzhi, and he had allocated thirty guns before, and these thirty guns were placed at the entrance and exit of the Yiyuan Pass, which was simply a god-like existence.

Li Chengcheng was a guerrilla of Daxingbao back then, and after the first battle of Xipingbao, he was attached to Chen Cao for fear of being implicated, and then served with Zu Dashou and others in Juehua Island and other places.

"Your Majesty is really the reincarnation of Sun Wu, and he is all-encompassing..."

After Li Chengcheng finished speaking, he looked at the crowd of people who had already appeared above the Yiyuankou Pass, and couldn't help but sigh: "Adjutant, you personally go to the 59th Division and tell Master Cao that the Tartars are about to break through from the Yiyuankou, and ask him to send troops to support." ”

"Yes..."

.

Huang Taiji did not know that the Yiyuankou side had been surrounded by the Ming army, and his forward troops were led by Manzhu Xili with the Bahrain Department, and when the army arrived under the pass, only the green battalion soldiers in charge of the Yiyuankou were stationed with more than 100 people.

In addition, the Ming army arrived at the pass in the middle of the night, and the green battalion soldiers were greedy for life and afraid of death, and they would not go out of the pass to find out.

The hundred household officials are in this kind of mentality, after all, there is a tall man on top of the sky falling, and he, the hundred households, still belongs to the rule of the Shanhaiguan General Army, and with Nikan, the shell, he is not afraid at all.

It was not until the arrival of the Manzhu Xili army that the Baihu official introduced the situation outside the pass to the Mongolian county king.

Manzhu Xili went to the city to take a closer look, but found that the Ming army was already waiting outside the pass, as if he knew that his side would break through from the Yiyuankou, and after thinking for a long time, he decided to report this matter to Huang Taiji, who was still in the rear.

Half an hour later, the Chinese army arrived at the entrance of the Yiyuan, the first person was Li Sizhong, Shangguan arched his hand towards Manzhu Xili, and then said: "Your Majesty ordered me to go out of the customs first to find out the truth of the person, and ask Lord Manzhu Xili to help one or two." ”

"Well said."

The gate was wide open, and a team of thousands of horses under Li Sizhong's command went out of the gate first, shouting and rushing towards the Ming army not far ahead, but the Ming army seemed to look down on them and had no intention of shooting at all.

As a result, the two or three hundred men who charged ahead all fell into the pits and trenches of the horses, and the neighing of the horses was already heard after the fall of the horses.

Li Sizhong saw it clearly, so he turned around and said: "Go back quickly and tell Your Majesty that the Ming army has more than 10,000 people, digging trenches to block it, and it can be fought." ”

"Tsk..."

When the sky was about to dawn, Huang Taiji rushed to the entrance of Yiyuan with a large army, and the sound of gunfire and shouting outside the gate came from far and near.

On the wall, at this moment Li Sizhong was leading his troops to detour the Ming army's military formation, but was repelled by the Ming army who were waiting for it with fierce muskets, and what made them suffer heavy losses were those continuous horse traps and trenches.

Back then, Dai Shan used this anti-trench tactic to deal with the Ming army in Huai'an, which did cause huge casualties to the Ming army besieging the city.

At the moment, Li Chengcheng was also very willing to learn this kind of negative teaching material, and immediately decided to dig a wide trench so that the Tartar cavalry could not exert their full combat effectiveness.

Huang Taiji watched Li Sizhong charge three times in a row and was repulsed, so he ordered Ming Jin, and waited until Li Sizhong went up to the wall, and when he saw him, he had a look of resentment: "The Ming people are extremely cunning, and the ministers' arrows can't reach them, so they are really aggrieved, and they can only be beaten passively." ”

Huang Taiji said: "Maybe to find out the truth?" ”

"It is estimated that more than 10,000 troops and less than 20,000 troops have arranged the battlefield in front of the pass, and more than 30 trenches have been dug in a row, and there are countless horse traps on the side of the trenches, and they have suffered a big loss."

"How's the firearm?"

"There are many flintlock firearms..."

Huang Taiji looked at Ji'er Harang and said, "Are you sure to cover the army out of the customs?" ”

Zilharang clenched his fists: "Your Majesty, rest assured, since they are all flintlock pistols, they can fight if they want to come." ”

Huang Taiji nodded: "Since this is the case, then give an order, the whole army is ready to go out, Kitat will attack the left flank of the Ming army, Manzhu Xili will attack the right flank, and I will bring my own cavalry to attack the front, and act immediately." ”

.

"Ah, Lord Zuo..."

Seeing Zuo Fu appear in front of him, the hundred household officials were surprised and panicked.

Zuo Fu was wearing the costume of the head of the pro-soldier team, looked at the hundred households in front of him and whispered: "Since you know me, do you know the national righteousness?" ”

Baihu looked dazed, thinking to himself, Lord Zuo, didn't you also surrender to Jiannu?

After Zuo Fu finished speaking, he didn't wait for him to speak, and said: "Listen, General Li has decided to return to Ming anyway, and assist His Majesty in order to trap the Tartars, and you wait for the hundred households to be the green battalion soldiers, but you still want to continue to help the abuse?" ”

...

Li Chengcheng saw the fierce musket fire in front of him, plus those cavalry who did not want to charge for their lives, he was anxious in his heart, he was worried that his division of more than 10,000 people could not completely block the Jiannu who wanted to flee for their lives, but he didn't know when Cao Xiang's reinforcements would come, on the other hand, if he relied on the strength of his division to suppress Jiannu, when he recounted his merits in the future, he would be able to be knighted.

"Command the revolver position, prepare for battle..."

The new rifles could not completely block the cavalry charge, not to mention the flintlock pistol units that were still used, and the tactics still used three-stage bursts to achieve a certain effect, but if they wanted to block the cavalry charge, they had little effect.

Chitat's troops charged forward from the right flank at the risk of huge casualties, and fortunately, the cavalry with the Han army banner used their lives to fill part of the trenches and horse pits dug by the Ming army, otherwise their side would definitely have suffered huge casualties.

After paying the price of more than 1,000 casualties, Chitaat finally saw the Ming army's musket position more than 700 paces away, pointed at his long knife, shouted in Mongolian, and tens of thousands of Korqin cavalry rushed towards the left flank.

Although the battlefield is divided into three battlefields, the left, the center and the right, but after all, the space is limited, and Li Chengcheng's willingness is also to completely block the Jiannu cavalry out of the pass, because the distance from the pass is only one and a half miles, and the whole division is more than enough to open up in this three-mile-wide battlefield, and he scattered thirty revolvers on three sides, ten on each side, and with the muskets guarding the formation, it is also a huge force.

As soon as the deputy division commander of the left flank defense saw that the Mongols were coming, he personally stood behind the position of the revolver, drew his sword and shouted: "Prepare for battle, prepare all the ammunition." ”

Ten revolvers meant that five hundred rounds could be fired in one minute, which was not large enough to stop these people in the arc of the battlefield.

Like many Manchurian nobles, Chitat had never seen the new firearms of the Ming army, and had only heard of them from Yue Tuo and Hauge.

Seeing the battlefield getting closer and closer, Kitat was overjoyed: "Korqin's warriors, cut off the heads of the Ming people's dogs, kill..."
