I have a cornucopia

Chapter 319 It’s time to show off again!

Xuanfu.

Ajige looked at the ancient fortress with a grim face.

And around it, in the smoke, were thousands of dead bodies of the Eight Banners warriors.

His attack failed.

Of course, it would have been impossible to succeed.

How could a pure cavalry fleeing thousands of miles attack a top-level fortress? Not to mention the technological development and firepower enhancement at this time, even the former Xuanfu was not something that cavalry could capture. Moreover, the Qing army did not even have siege equipment, and even the ladders were made by dismantling the houses outside. There was also no trench filling. Not to mention Xuanfu, all the surrounding castles were fortified and cleared, and even some small castles that were not easy to defend were directly emptied...

There are military households all around here.

The entire Xuanfu area is under militarized management, and those castles are all forts with thousands of households or hundreds of households.

To say that we must fortify our walls and clear the countryside means that we must truly fortify our walls and clear the countryside.

Ajige was just angry and lost his mind because of his personality. One important point that made him inferior to his brother was that he had a more irritable temper than his brother. So when faced with the Xuanfu generals who betrayed the Qing Dynasty, he ordered an attack as if he was venting his resentment for fleeing.

As a result, after the defenders, who had been on high alert for a long time, killed more than a thousand elite soldiers in a barrage of artillery fire, they finally came to their senses.

He ran away. Even if these bastards betrayed the Qing Dynasty, now is not the time to settle the score.

Gotta leave quickly.

We'll have to wait for revenge later.

But it is definitely not possible to bypass Xuanfu and go north. Xuanfu is not an isolated city, and those garrisons to the north will definitely betray our Qing Dynasty as well. It is impossible for him to fight all the way out under such circumstances.

What's more, he already has pursuers behind him, another one who betrayed our Qing Dynasty.

"Regent, Jiang Ge captured Jimingyi and Tun Qi was seriously injured and captured."

Nikan whispered.

"This bastard, if he had known earlier, he should have slaughtered Datong and taken Dushikou instead!"

Ajige said somewhat sadly.

They are now actually attacked from all sides.

Jiang Ge himself was not in Xuanfu. The guards of Xuanfu were all local generals. Although he was named King of Zhenxi and controlled Xuanda because of his last robbery, his home base was Datong after all. The generals of Xuanfu could only be said to be allies. This time, Jiang Ge led his 30,000 Datong generals to hide in the mountains west of Zhuolu. After the Qing army failed to attack Xuanfu, they suddenly appeared to attack Ajige's guard Tunqi. Ajige certainly didn't know that this was just because of the task given to Jiang Ge by Yang Feng, but it was reasonable. Jiang Ge and the generals of Xuanfu certainly couldn't have the illusion of annihilating them completely, but they just didn't want them to take the route of Xuanfu Zhangjiakou. After all, they were going to burn, kill and loot all the way.

Now they were blocked by Xuanfu, and behind Xuanfu there was a series of garrisons, and behind them was Jiang Ge's main force. Their only choice was to go east, taking the route from Suoyang Pass to Dushikou. Although this route was also dotted with the original garrisons, and Suoyang Pass was crossed by the Great Wall, the advantage was also obvious. As long as they took this route, there was no possibility of being surrounded.

Because it's just a corridor.

From Xuanfu to the east, there is a series of river valleys, which then lead all the way to Dushikou, the border crossing.

After all, Ajige was not afraid of Jiang Ge. Now he was ready for a decisive battle. He was confident enough to chop off this bastard's head and kick it like a ball. But behind him were Yang Feng, Li Guo, Wang Yongqiang and hundreds of thousands of other troops. More importantly, he didn't know where these people were.

It was impossible for him to obtain any intelligence, the only thing he knew was that they were definitely behind him.

It could be a hundred miles away, or several hundred miles away, or it could even appear suddenly.

There is no time to waste.

Got to run quickly.

Take the safest route, the one where you won't be surrounded.

This is also the reason why Yang Feng insisted that Jiang Ge force them onto this road. They cannot be completely wiped out in other directions. Even if they are blocked south of Xuanfu, they can go east from other entrances, enter the Rehe Mountains and then go north. Although this area is mountainous, the Ming Dynasty has been operating the Xuanfu defense line for more than 200 years, and it has long been very complete. There are also several guards to the east.

Although there should not be many military households now, after all, this area is too poor, and those who can escape have escaped.

""Walk!"

He went on to say.

Then he looked hatefully at the Xuanfu City across the street.

"One day, I will come back and massacre this place, and I will also massacre Datong, and cut Jiang Ge into pieces."

He fantasized viciously about his original achievements in history.

But now it's really just a fantasy.

Nikan immediately mounted his horse and turned east with his vanguard to continue their escape.

Then came Ajige’s central army.

Finally, it was Bolo who rushed to take over after Tunqi was captured.

In fact, their army was mainly composed of those who had marched south with Dorgon. After all, they would face Yang Feng's march north immediately after their withdrawal, and there were not enough supplies to feed them in the capital, so they stayed in the south under the leadership of Ajige, and collected food from the powerful to feed themselves. At this time, the famous generals of the Qing Dynasty also suffered heavy losses, and the remaining ones were also scattered. In addition to those led by Jirgalang, there were also Sony and Aobai who returned to Shenyang...

They requested to go to Shenyang because the Koreans had rebelled and Yi Jong had refused to submit to them and stopped sending them food.

For the Qing Dynasty, which was already preparing to withdraw to Liaodong, this was a necessary attack.

After all, we will need their food in the future.

However, Liaodong has limited military strength, and they also have to deal with the Ming army. At most, they can gather 6,000 people to attack Li Jong. If the troops are insufficient, they can be supplemented by generals. With Oboi and Sony, 6,000 can be as effective as 10,000. Besides, it is not necessary to capture Seoul. It will be enough to beat Li Jong and force him to send hundreds of thousands of stones of grain.

He will understand.

Of course, Sony, the little fox, knew that if they stayed inside the Great Wall, they might not be able to escape. They were not Hauge's direct descendants. Although they were also in the upper three banners, Hauge's direct descendants were in the Zhenglan Banner, so they were a little wary of them. The two of them actually controlled the two yellow banners. When Dorgon was alive, they dared to confront Dorgon. Hauge didn't think he could suppress them.

Our Qing Dynasty is no longer the same as it was in the past, and the emperor has long been a joke.

Perhaps they would not betray the emperor.

But they can still be powerful ministers without betraying the emperor. If the emperor is incompetent, it is also a kind of loyalty for them to make decisions for the emperor as the emperor's royal guards!

Oboi said that I am truly a loyal minister!

In short, the relationship between them and Hauge was very delicate. In this case, it would be better for them to return to the outside of the Great Wall to avoid dying inside the Great Wall one day. It just so happened that they took advantage of the opportunity to attack Korea and left with some elite troops of the Two Yellow Flags. At this time, they should have been ready to march east to Korea.

The retreat of Ajige's 20,000-strong army, especially the cavalry, from the battlefield required sufficient time to complete, and it was not until the evening that it was the turn of Bolo, the last one in line.

Jiming Station.

sunset.

Bolo, who was in formation, looked at Jiang Ge, who was also in formation on the opposite side.

The latter was smiling at him.

Behind Jiang Ge were 3,000 elite cavalrymen, mainly from the families of generals of Datong. Behind them were 30,000 official troops, who were reorganized and trained by him. Xuan and Datong were all military households. In the past, they were controlled by civil officials, so they would not allow the military households to be strengthened. But after Jiang Ge took control, he had to reorganize and arm such an army composed of local people from Datong in order to establish a vassal state. This was his bargaining chip for extorting the Qing Dynasty from time to time.

Of course, it will also be a bargaining chip for him to protect himself in the future.

"withdraw!"

Said Bolo, who was sure he would not attack.

Then he turned his horse around.

But at this moment, a big bird seemed to fly in the distant sky, and it looked fiery red in the reflection of the setting sun. Of course, Bolo just took a look at it. Even though the bird was obviously abnormal, it was just a bird to him.

He was not an ornithologist, so he didn't need to study a big bird.

……

In the sky.

"Damn it, Jiang Ge really fooled me again!"

King Yang, who was piloting a paramotor, looked at Jiang Ge who was standing still and said.

Of course, this is normal.

After all, Jiang Ge is essentially no different from Wu Sangui, they are both of the same kind. As for his original anti-Qing campaign in history, it was only because our Qing Dynasty bullied him too harshly in Datong. Ajige even robbed the women of generals in Datong, and he was humiliated by Ajige when he went to take them back, which angered him and led to his rebellion.

But when he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty before, he was also very straightforward.

Now he is still the same Jiang Ge.

Preserving strength remains his first consideration.

People like this should be killed. Keeping them around will only bring trouble.

In fact, it was not just him. There were many more people who needed to be killed, whether they surrendered or not. Even if they surrendered, they would still be killed. King Yang did not mind bearing a bad reputation for the sake of future stability. He had already committed many crimes. Neither these people nor the gentry would really admit defeat and accept the future he designed. Even if they could not win, they would just endure it and wait for an opportunity. These guys were very patient and could endure for more than ten years or even decades. As long as they were given the opportunity, they would counterattack without hesitation.

Grind him to dust.

In order to avoid being crushed to ashes by these guys in the future, King Yang still has to crush them to ashes first.

But we have to find a reason. Maybe it would be nice to let them be buried alive with Chongzhen.

In the final analysis, they and Chongzhen were both responsible for the current chaos in the Ming Dynasty. Since the emperor had gone to another world, it was reasonable for them to follow him. A loyal minister must follow the emperor in life and death. If you don't follow him, you are not a loyal minister.

What, you are disloyal to the late emperor?

Cut them all down! Cut them all down!
Of course, Yang Feng has no time to take care of them now.

The paramotor continued to move forward, flying over the mountains. He used a telescope to look down at Ajige's retreating army. The latter's vanguard had stopped at the west of Suoyang Pass. After all, it was getting dark, and they would probably wait until tomorrow to cross Suoyang Pass. To the west of Suoyang Pass was a basin surrounded by mountains. To the northwest was Changyukou, where Chang Yuchun died of illness. The Great Wall meandered through the mountains and forests, and not far below Yang Feng was Tangchikou. As for Suoyang Pass, to the east was Longmenweicheng.

There is also a valley between Xuanfu and Suoyang Pass.

Therefore, it was impossible for the Qing army to camp west of the valley.

Just across the valley.

This way, everything will enter this basin.

"Perfect!"

King Yang said.

After saying this, he immediately descended in altitude.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

At the same time, a shout came from the car radio he was carrying.

He could finally get the signal.

He left Li Dingguo behind in Shunsheng East City and flew over here in a paramotor, but Shunsheng East City was already beyond the communication range, and Li Dingguo's 10,000 cavalrymen also formed a long dragon. When he left, the rear team had just left Shunsheng West City.

"Where have you been?"

he asked.

"My king, we are twenty miles ahead to reach Deep Well Castle."

The staff officer inside answered.

That means they were still forty or fifty miles away from Xuanfu.

But these people have already marched for dozens of miles, and it will take more than a hundred miles to reach Xuanfu. They cannot go into the battlefield without rest.

"Go around Xuanfu to Geyubao. Li Dingguo's short horse is suitable for mountain roads. From Geyubao to Zhaochuanbao, the Jianlu have already set up camp around Zhaochuanbao. Also, order Jiang Ge to attack the Jianlu immediately and tell him that I am watching them from the sky. If the Jianlu retreat, why not take the opportunity to attack them at Jimingyi?

I'll keep a record of it for him first. If he tries to trick me again by thinking that I can't see, don't blame me for doing it myself.

And those bastards in Xuanfu, since the Jianlu were retreating, why didn’t they leave the city to attack?
Tell them that the Jianlu have already set up camp in Zhaochuan Fort and are preparing to cross Suoyang Pass tomorrow. I want to see them move tonight. If I don’t see them, then their heads will have to move.”

Yang Feng said.

The fighting power of these guys has to be forced. If they are not forced, they will not fight hard. They can all fight. General Xuan’s family has elite servants. After all, that is where a lot of famous generals came from. They just need to be forced.

After giving the order, he did not land again, but hovered in the sky. From this position, he could see almost all of the Qing army. With Zhaochuan Fort, which is the modern Zhaochuan Town, as the center, it was full of the fire of the Qing army camping. On the other side, you can see the cavalry stretching from Xuanfu to the east along the Longyang River. These should be the rear troops of the Qing army, because there is a valley in the middle and there are no obstacles behind, so they must stop to camp at Zhaochuan Fort. However, as long as they pass this valley, they will really enter a basin of more than ten kilometers from east to west. Apart from this valley and Suoyang Pass on the other side, there is only the road to the north to Geyu Fort.

To the south are mountains and forests.

Yang Feng held up the telescope and watched the Qing army pass through the valley from the sky.

Because the Xuanfu defenders did not attack, Jiang Ge was probably still hanging on behind. The Qing army retreated calmly. In the twilight, countless torches formed a long dragon, which was gradually shortening towards Zhaochuan Fort in the gradually dark forest. They had no idea that a trap was waiting for them.

However, this ambush circle, or Yang Feng's design, still has a huge loophole.

The Suoyang Pass is unobstructed!

At this time, all the castles belonging to the Longmen Guard east of Suoyang Pass were deserted.

Ajige will move eastward unimpeded, leaving behind at most some defenders.

“It’s time to show off again!”

King Yang in the sky howled triumphantly.

Then his paramotor slowly turned in the sky, and then turned off the engine. Under the cover of night, it fell silently into the forest near Suoyang Pass like a strange ghost...
