Chapter 467: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
In the cold wind, the cavalry battalion soldiers galloped to the outside of Jizhou City, at this time Xu Ming looked at the city in front of him, there was no figure on the city wall, only the banner of the Qing army was still fluttering on the city.
Outside the city of Jizhou, the barracks of the various banners of the Qing army were deployed in an orderly manner, surrounding the city in the middle, but there were no scouts and cavalry of the Qing army on the periphery to guard, and from a distance, the movement of the Qing soldiers could not be seen in the camps everywhere.
"Something is wrong!"
Xu Ming immediately called the guerrilla generals of various departments, and Dong Yun, Du Zhongming, and Lu Yuan quickly rode their horses and rushed over, and after summing up with Xu Ming, they all thought that this matter was strange.
So Xu Ming said: "The left part goes up to kick the camp, and the middle and right parts respond in the back, see what kind of reputation the Tartars are doing!" ”
"Yes!"
Soon, Dong Yun led more than 3,500 soldiers on the left to rush over on horseback, and directly rushed into the outermost Han army's red-flag camp, and soon dropped the banner in the camp.
Xu Ming and the others were stunned and looked at the left and rushed all the way to the outside of Jizhou City. Then Dong Yun found that the west city gate was locked from the outside and could not be opened at all, so he ordered someone to blow the city gate open with earth-shaking thunder, and led the soldiers on the left to break directly into the city. However, after the soldiers entered the city, they found that hundreds of thousands of Qing soldiers and horses had disappeared, as if they had evaporated from the world, and they had disappeared.
Xu Ming's eyes widened at this time, gritted his teeth and said, "Dog Tartar, I actually put Lao Tzu together!" Send someone to report to the governor! ”
Then Xu Ming led his troops into Jizhou City, only to see that the city was depressed, there were few people left in the city, and the houses in the city were also seriously damaged, and almost all the courtyard doors and doors were destroyed.
Needless to say, they are all "masterpieces" of Qing soldiers rushing in and looting.
However, Xu Ming and others were surprised to find that there were still tens of thousands of people in Jizhou City, but these people were captured by the Qing army from everywhere, and at this time these people were imprisoned in houses all over the city.
Xu Ming saw that all of these people were yellow and thin, and even many old people and children had fainted from hunger, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers of the cavalry battalion to distribute the rations and water they carried with them, let the people in the city eat some first, and then send someone to report the situation to Liu Yanyu.
After some busyness, Du Zhongming rode his horse and said angrily: "General, the treasury in the city is empty, and the dog Tartar has taken away all the things that can be eaten and used in the city, leaving only tens of thousands of people waiting here to die. ”
Xu Ming frowned, and then said: "Leave the baggage soldiers, medical officers and others of each department behind, and appease the people in the city, and the rest of the soldiers will pursue separately, the left to the north, the middle to the east, and the right to the south, chase me!" ”
"Yes!"
A moment later, more than 10,000 soldiers of the cavalry battalion rushed out of Jizhou City on horseback in the frightened eyes of the people in the city, divided into three iron cavalry armies, and pursued in the north, east and south directions at the same time.
Half an hour later, Liu Yan received an urgent report from Xu Ming, and two pieces of news made Liu Yan a little stunned: "What kind of fame is Huang Taiji doing, do you really want to stop the war, and when I saw that I didn't agree, I used a trick to get rid of the golden cicada?" ”
Immediately, Liu Yan began to recall whether there were any natural and man-made disasters in Liaodong in history, so that Huang Taiji had to lead the army immediately
Withdraw it.
But after recalling it for a long time, Liu Yan didn't think of anything, so he called Xun Jingyun and Wu Guojin and asked, "The battalions don't collect at night, and the intelligence department has news back?" ”
Wu Guojin said first: "Governor, there is no news from the Intelligence Department for the time being, and it will take time for secret agents everywhere, after all, all parts of Gyeonggi are not peaceful at this time. ”
Xun Jingyun then said: "The battalions have been sent out in four batches if they don't collect at night, and some news has been sent back one after another, but no movement of the Qing army has been found, but it is ......."
Liu Yan asked, "But what?" ”
Xun Jingyun said: "However, the battalions that explored the north did not collect at night, and they all reacted, and they all encountered Qing army scouts in the north, but those Qing army scouts did not take the initiative to attack, but only monitored our army at night. ”
Liu Yan was taken aback, and said with some annoyance: "Such an important military situation, why didn't you say it earlier!" ”
Xun Jingyun was yelled at by Liu Yan, and suddenly realized something, hurriedly clenched his fists and pleaded guilty, saying: "It's the negligence of his subordinates, please punish the governor!" ”
Liu Yan said sharply: "The Tartars must be going north, but they must not be retreating, Huang Taiji must have other plans, and ordered the new army and the battalions of the garrison army to immediately advance northward, and the whole army marched towards Malanyu Pass in the north of Jizhou!" ”
"Ma Lanyu Pass?"
"The passes north of Jizhou that can allow more than 300,000 Qing troops to pass through are only Ma Lanyu Pass and General Shiguan. The general Shiguan is in the north of Huangsongyu and is blocked by our army, so the Qing army can only go north from Malanyu Pass! As for you......"
Liu Yan looked at Xun Jingyun's tired appearance, during this time, the grain, military discipline, and logistics affairs of the 120,000 troops in each battalion were all pressed
On his body, negligence in his busyness is also inevitable, but this time the stakes are very high, and Liu Yan must also be punished.
So Liu Yan said: "Vice Minister Xun is in charge of military discipline, and because of negligence, important information was not reported in time, and the crime was added to the first degree." However, Vice Minister Xun is responsible for a lot of affairs, and it is understandable, so this governor will punish you with half a year's military salary, and lead the army ten times, and wait until this battle is over before executing. ”
Xun Jingyun's eyes were slightly red, and he clenched his fists and said, "Xie Duchen!" The subordinates must do their best, and there will never be such negligence again! ”
On the same day, Liu Yan led the soldiers of each battalion to the north, and after receiving the order, the cavalry battalions in Jizhou City pursued directly from Jizhou City to the north. The middle battalion of the new army stationed in Pinggu County also set off immediately after receiving the order and marched in the direction of Malanyu Pass.
At the same time, thirty miles north of Malanyu Pass, on the south bank of the Liuhe River.
Ma Lanyu Pass is a famous pass in Jingdong, and it is said that a border general named Ma Lan was stationed in this place, and some Ma Lan flowers were planted here. The original name was Malan Valley Camp, Malan City, and Ma Lanyu.
At this time, more than 300,000 Qing soldiers went north from Malanyu Pass, and the two Yellow Banner armies in front had arrived on the south bank of the Liuhe River 30 miles away.
The Liuhe River flows from southwest to northeast as a whole, and in the direction of due north of Malanyu Pass, the Liuhe River runs roughly due east and west.
Huang Taiji was dressed in bright yellow armor, and he was also wearing a thick skin made of tiger skin outside, riding on a war horse majestic, even in the cold wind outside the gate, he did not move, like a knife
The cold wind can't help the obese Huang Taiji at all.
All around, the elite of the Bayala battalion of the two yellow flags were on guard, forming an impregnable fence around Huang Taiji, separating Huang Taiji from the fast-moving army in front.
Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen A Mountain, inlaid Yellow Flag Gushan Ezhen Baiyin Tu rode a horse in the distance, quietly looking at Huang Taiji, his eyes were full of awe.
"The speed of the flags is still slow, and the flags are ordered: speed up again, turn from the south bank of the Liuhe River, and advance quickly to the west!"
"Huh!"
A group of Baya soldiers with yellow flags rushed out on horseback and went to each flag to convey the will of Huang Taiji.
Then Huang Taiji turned his face slightly, Ah Shan and Bai Yintu understood, hurriedly rode over, and then rolled off the horse, holding the horse's hooves sleeves with both hands, and knelt on the ground on one knee: "The slave is here!" ”
Huang Taiji said: "Is there any news from the scouts who are broken in the back?" ”
Ah Shan said: "Your Majesty, the scouts of the Chahar Department have detected that Liu Yan's night has also begun to explore northward, but the main force of Liu Yan's troops has not been found. ”
Bai Yintu added: "In addition, the scouts of the Ao Han Department also came with news that Liu Yan's cavalry had been found in the north of Jizhou City, about three or four thousand people, and they were searching and advancing north. ”
"Liu Yan shouldn't have reacted yet!"
Huang Taiji said confidently: "The cavalry north of Jizhou should have searched on its own, and Liu Yan has not led his troops north. ”
"Your Majesty, the army is all the way to the west, dozens of miles ahead, is the Modaoyu of Miyun Town of the Ming Kingdom, is it not to wait for the soldiers and horses of all flags to gather, and then break through?"
Ahsan asked respectfully.
"Don't wait, you have to
Hurry! ”
Huang Taiji said: "Give the two blue flags in front and the two blue flags of Mongolia to give an order, before noon tomorrow, we must take the Modaoyu!" ”
"Huh!"
Ah Shan and Bai Yintu glanced at each other, both of them were a little worried in their hearts, in order to defeat Liu Yan, Huang Taiji made a detour to raid Beijing City, just to leave Liu Yan, who was mainly infantry, behind, so speed is the key!
But there is also a major problem: that is, the army of more than 300,000 people is running wildly, and it is very easy to disconnect the front and back of the army.
If Liu Yan sees through the strategy of the Qing Dynasty, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not play any tricks, and what if he takes advantage of this to break the flags of the Qing Dynasty?
Although Ah Shan and Bai Yintu both know that the number of cavalry in Liu Yan's army is not large, and they are counted if they are not collected overnight, that is, 20,000 or 30,000 people, but these are all real elite iron cavalry, and they really have to be used well, and it is also very tricky for the warriors of the banners of the Qing Dynasty.
So Bai Yintu said tentatively: "Your Majesty, the army is attacking all the way forward, if the speed is too fast, once the army is out of touch......"
Huang Taiji frowned slightly and said, "Disjointed? Then don't let Liu Yanbu catch up! ”
"Huh!"
Ah Shan and Bai Yintu didn't dare to say anything more, and then followed Huang Taiji to continue westward.
However, the army had just marched for less than half an hour, Huang Taiji coughed violently, Ah Shan and Bai Yintu were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly ordered the two yellow flags to stop, and the two of them took more than a dozen Baya soldiers to help Huang Taiji get off the horse, and called the doctor in the army to toss for a while, and Huang Taiji came to his senses.
"How is Your Majesty?"
The doctor was captured by the Qing soldiers from Jizhou City to accompany the army.
Dedicated to taking care of Huang Taiji.
At this time, the doctor said tremblingly: "The emperor's lungs are insufficient, coughing and wheezing for a long time, and he really should recuperate." But this saddle horse has been tired, and it has already hurt the spirit, the best way is to find a quiet place to recuperate for ten days and half a month, and take some medicine to replenish qi and blood every day......"
Huang Taiji glared at the doctor violently, so frightened that the doctor didn't dare to say any more.
"Take it down!"
"Huh!"
The two Baya soldiers took the doctor down, and then Huang Taiji said coldly: "Kill this person!" ”
Bai Yintu and Ah Shan were startled, and Bai Yintu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this person is still useful, at least he can take care of His Majesty with the army, how can he ......?"
Huang Taiji glared at Bai Yintu and said, "I know best in my heart how my body is!" In addition, my physical condition must not be passed on, this person cannot live! ”
Bai Yintu and Ah Shan were afraid in their hearts, so they could only bow their heads and receive orders: "Huh! ”
Huang Taiji struggled twice, then got back on the horse with the help of everyone, and then said: "Keep going, you can't delay any longer!" ”
The two yellow flag iron cavalry army continued to advance, the front and rear of the banners of the soldiers and horses were mighty, the Tartar soldiers of each banner were marching in a hurry, more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, from Jizhou City to the north, through Malanyu Pass to the north to the Liuhe, and from the Liuhe River to the west to Modaoyu, two hundred and sixty, seventy miles away, the Qing army flags only took more than three days to run away!
Even the artillery of the various banners of the Han army was tied to two war horses with wooden shelves, and they hurried away, and more than a dozen artillery pieces were discarded along the way, just to ensure the speed of the army.
By the afternoon of the fourth day, Hauge
, Abatai led the Manchurian Zhenglan Banner soldiers and horses to Modaoyu, and then launched an attack, and it took less than half an hour to take this pass.
