Han ride

Chapter 31

When the Mongolian soldiers saw that the general was dead, they became even more flustered.These Mongolian soldiers were originally only used as rangers, that is to say, where there was danger, they would go to replenish their strength, that is, to replenish their strength, but they were far inferior to being elite.

"Let me charge." Seeing that the main general was dead and the enemy army was in a panic, Li Xin was overjoyed, and hurriedly led Jiang Yi and others to charge forward, like chasing ducks, killing the cavalry and fleeing everywhere. fight back.

"Haha, following behind the lord is a joy. So many people were killed at once." Yang Xiong couldn't help laughing, the laughter infected everyone in the army, even He Bin's pale face showed a gleam of joy.In Liaodong, there have been many battles with Hou Jin, but they have never been as relaxed and happy as today.

"Don't be too happy, it's better to leave here quickly." Li Xin said solemnly.

"Not good, my lord, there is another group of people rushing ahead." Ju Tu's sharp eyes suddenly saw hundreds of people killed in the distance, and he couldn't help but panicked.

"What are you afraid of? Today I will lead you to join forces with horses and let that Huang Taiji see our majesty. Let him see that we Han people are not so easy to bully." Li Xin was also surprised, but soon cheered up After a while, there was a hint of madness in his eyes. He pointed the spear forward and said loudly: "My sons and daughters, think about the prestige of our Han nation in the Han Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Where is the glory now? The descendants of our Han people , Are you being bullied by Jiannu like this? Hold your chest up, let us remember the glory of our ancestors, go!"

"Come on!" Jiang Yi and the others were excited by Li Xinde's words. Their eyes were red, and they felt that their whole body was full of energy. go.

At this moment, tens of miles north of Dalinghe City, a group of people and horses are walking slowly. Although this group of people and horses also wear money pigtails, they are different from other post-gold troops in that their bodies are golden and golden. His armor looked extremely imposing.Yes, this is Houjin Zhenghuangqi, Houjin's most elite force, and there is only one leader of Zhenghuangqi, and that is Huangtaiji, the emperor of Houjin.

"Your Majesty, this time His Majesty will conquer the Daling River City and attack Huanglong personally this time. This servant is here to congratulate Your Majesty." A handsome scholar said with a smile.Next to him was a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance, dressed in golden yellow armor inlaid with dragons, his eyes were like lightning, and he faintly looked like a dragon and a phoenix.This person is none other than Huang Taiji, the Lord of the Later Jin Dynasty and the newly established Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.Unlike the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, every time he went south, he was mostly on his own.

"Hehe, what Gongfu said is very true. Your Majesty captured Dalinghe City with strong troops this time and besieged it, but he did not attack it, and led Jinzhou soldiers to rescue him. He is really a wise master! This slave admires it very much. ” On the right side of Huang Taiji, there is also a handsome man with a burly physique, but he is wearing a Confucian shirt, but he is a literati.The two of them followed Huang Taiji, and they seemed to be of high status, and they were extremely holy among the Houjin.

Huang Taiji couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "The two gentlemen are joking, but do the two gentlemen know why I besieged Dalinghe City and didn't attack it?" He glanced at the two of them. , a look of complacency was faintly visible on his face.He always liked to use Han Chinese, especially Han Chinese scholars. Both of them are talented, and they have won his trust.The person on his left is called Ning Wanwo, courtesy name Gongfu, from Liaoyang, and now he is a scholar of Qingzhi Wenguan.And another person is even more famous, called Fan Wencheng.The word Xiandou, the name Huiyue, was born in Shenyang Wei, Liaodong.He is the No.17 grandson of Fan Zhongyan, a famous Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty.Not to mention, this man has great talent and often advises Huang Taiji. More importantly, his identity. His ancestor is Fan Zhongyan. Same knowledge.This is enough for Huang Taiji to win over this person.

"Your Majesty is not a slave to know because of his deep thinking." Fan Wencheng glanced at Ning Wan and saw that he was about to speak, so he quickly interjected.When Ning Wan and I saw this, I quickly fell silent.

"What I'm doing is Zu Dashou and his Guanning iron cavalry." Huang Taiji said proudly: "Jinzhou City is extremely strong, and its defense is even stronger. If we forcefully attack Jinzhou, the loss outweighs the gain. Ning Tieqi is always a troublesome thing, the only way is to lure Guan Ning Tieqi out, hehe, those two idiots Sun Chengzong and Qiu Hejia did a good thing for me this time. They really thought I didn’t know They are building Daling River City? But they don’t know what I need, and now they have lured Zu Dashou out, the Guan Ning iron cavalry is like a tiger trapped in a cage, how can they escape.”

"Your Majesty is holy." After Ning finished, I hurriedly said: "In Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, only Zu Dashou and their Guanning Iron Cavalry can compete with our Qing Dynasty. If the Guanning Iron Cavalry is wiped out in Dalinghe City, the future Just let me wait outside the customs."

"Your Majesty may still want to surrender Zu Dashou!" Fan Wencheng said after thinking for a while.

"That's right, sir is right." Huang Taiji nodded, and said: "The ancestor's family is a family in Liaodong, and it is very famous in Liaodong. If Zu Dashou can be recruited, Liaodong will have no worries from now on." Huang Taiji He never concealed his thoughts in front of the two of them, which is also the charm of Huang Taiji.Unlike Emperor Chongzhen in the Central Plains, who had to rely on others, but also had to be wary of them. His suspicion was extremely serious. Who in the court was willing to work for him?
"Your Majesty has surrounded Dalinghe City on all sides this time, and your Majesty's actions are quick and fast. I am afraid that Zu Dashou has not reacted at this time. The food in the city may not be able to last for a long time. The lack of food in the city will definitely cause panic, and it will be the same at that time." I have to surrender." Ning Wan said after thinking about it.

"It's not that simple." Huang Taiji shook his head and said: "This battle is still a bit risky. The Guanning iron cavalry is also very important to the Ming Dynasty. The Chongzhen boy will definitely let the army come to rescue. If Zu Dashou can take the opportunity to attack our army, If we cooperate from inside to outside, our army will be in danger. Therefore, the key is to see if our army can block Sun Chengzong's reinforcements."

"Your Majesty, as long as you can surround Zu Dashou and his Guan Ning iron cavalry this time, then take it slowly." Fan Wencheng couldn't think of any way at this time, so he could only persuade him from the sidelines.

Huang Taiji nodded, and said: "I have already issued an order to encircle the west side of the north of Daling River City in Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Lenggeli, and encircle the east side of the north of Daling River City in Xianghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen and Ezu Darhan. ; Erhalang is behind the support; the east side of the south of Wuneige circle in Gushan Ezhen, Mongolia. On the east side of the east side of Yierdeng Wai, Dorgon stayed behind to support. On the north side of the west of Gushan Ezhen, Ezuo and Shuutu Wai of Zhenghong Banner, Daishan lived behind to support; On the south side; on the south side of the west side of Zhenyechen Encirclement in Gushan with the red flag. I am afraid that it is impossible to break through so many defenses in a short period of time."

"Your Majesty will use tens of thousands of troops this time. If you follow His Majesty's arrangement, you can set up 45 camps and stretch for fifty miles." As expected of Fan Wencheng, the first civil servant of the Later Jin Dynasty, I heard him say: "In this way, the troops will inevitably be scattered. The servant thought that it would be better to let them dig four deep trenches around the city within their defense zone, one deep and wide by about ten feet, one around the front trench, and then dig a five-foot-wide and seven-foot-deep trench. Spread straw and other things, then cover it with soil, and then build a wall a few feet away from the trench. Qi digs a small trench to block horses in front of his own camp, and the depth and width are all a few feet. His Majesty can let people strictly guard the position and not let anyone out of the city. After a long time, it is impossible for Zu Dashou to break through."

"Hey, Brother Fan, if you follow your plan, if I am Zu Dashou, I will start to break out at this time. Before our army has closed up and completely surrounded Dalinghe City, escape quickly." Ning After I heard the words, I laughed out loud.

"No, Zu Dashou will not escape." Fan Wencheng shook his head and said.

"Why are you so sure, sir?" Now even Huang Taiji asked in surprise.

"Because Zu Dashou was a general of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Chongzhen was in power. Chongzhen was headstrong and killed Yuan Chonghuan back then. This Zu Dashou was originally Yuan Chonghuan's confidant general. That's why Zu Dashou was allowed to let go. If Zu Dashou lost Dalinghe City at this time, how could Emperor Chongzhen spare Zu Dashou? Of course, Zu Dashou can leave, but once he breaks through, Guan Ning's iron cavalry will definitely suffer losses. Ning cavalry is the root of Zu Dashou's standing in Liaodong. Every time the Guanning cavalry loses one person, Zu Dashou's strength will be weaker, so Zu Dashou will not take this risk. He knows the importance of his Guanning cavalry nature, then Sun Chengzong and others will definitely send troops to come, so he has to wait for Sun Chengzong and others to come to rescue, in this case, why bother to take the risk of breaking through, if not, we can cooperate with the inside and outside and smash our army?"

"Haha! Mister asked me to order people to lay trenches and build a high wall, so that Zu Dashou would stay in the city forever and dare not come out?" Huang Taiji finally understood why Fan Wencheng had to spend a lot of energy on digging trenches. It turned out that it was a strategy of internal cooperation and external cooperation specifically to deal with Zu Dashou.

"That's right." Fan Wencheng nodded, and said, "Your Majesty is wise. This slave would venture to speculate that His Majesty's trip to the south to wipe out Zu Dashou and break into Dalinghe City is a lie. The most important thing is to eliminate the vital power of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong."

Huang Taiji nodded when he heard the words, with a dignified expression, and said: "Although my Qing army is sharp, the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory. Even if there are some rebellions in the court, its foundation cannot be shaken. Jiangnan is rich. It is not an opponent of the Ming Dynasty at all. The only way is to slowly consume the opponent's vital strength, and then slowly figure it out. Guan Ning cavalry is the most powerful cavalry in the Ming Dynasty. It would be the best if you can subdue this cavalry. If you can't Just destroy him. As long as we annihilate the vital force of the Ming Dynasty, we can herd horses in the Central Plains. It’s just that we can only slowly nibble away at the opponent right now.”

After Ning Wan, Fan Wencheng and I forgot to glance at each other, and cupped our hands involuntarily and said, "Your Majesty is so talented and generous, and this servant deeply admires you."

"Haha, it still depends on the planning of the two gentlemen." Huang Taiji nodded and said very proudly.

"Report." At this time, a scout broke into the army, and he jumped off the horse and said loudly: "The front reports that the enemy has broken into the camp, and has broken through my three lines of defense in a row."

"But Zu Dashou is leaving the city?" Huang Taiji's complexion changed, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo looked at each other, their expressions also froze, and they looked at the spy nervously.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's not Zu Dashou who left the city, but a small group of cavalry." The spy quickly said: "This group of cavalry is very ferocious, and the general at the head has killed five generals in our army in a row."

"Where is Dorgon? What did he say?" Huang Taiji's expression turned cold, and the originally tense expression returned to calm, and he said coldly: "He is the front vanguard of the army. Didn't he make a move?" Decided?"

"Replying to His Majesty, Lord Baylor has already moved into the defense zone." The spy thought for a while and said quickly.

"He walked quite fast." A icy coldness flashed across Huang Taiji's eyes.But he didn't speak, especially Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan and me.The matter between Huang Taiji and Dorgon has been rumored for a long time. It is rumored that before the death of the old Khan Nurhachi, he was going to pass the throne to Dorgon, but at that time Dorgon was young, but Huang Taiji was in control With most of the troops, he took the opportunity to seize the throne, and buried Dorgon's biological mother in Nurhachi. Although the order was in the name of Nurhachi, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Huang Taiji was afraid that Dorgon would seize the throne. took his position as a sweater.The current Dorgon is no longer the young Dorgon before.Although on the surface he didn't say anything, he still showed respect to Huang Taiji, but no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.In addition, Dorgon has been invincible all these years on the battlefield, and his prestige in the army has greatly increased, which made Huang Taiji even more afraid of this person.However, Dorgon acted seamlessly, so that Huang Taiji could not find any mistakes, and time was helpless.

For example, in the current matter, Dorgon is the vanguard and Baylor, and there is a small group of cavalry rushing into the formation, which should be what he did, but he was lucky and shifted his defense zone in an instant, leaving the matter to the emperor. tai chi.Of course, this small group of cavalry was not a big deal, but it was enough to make Huang Taiji sick.

"Your Majesty, my Qing army is sharp, and the Eight Banners are invincible. Such a small group of cavalry will soon be wiped out by the Eight Banners. Don't worry about it, Your Majesty." Fan Wencheng watched clearly from the side, and said hastily.He also secretly complained in his heart, this Dorgon is really powerful, a group of small cavalry rushed into the formation, such a small matter, just let a banner owner decide, but he just let the spies come to report to Huang Taiji, deliberately let Disgusting Huang Taiji.It would be a joke for the lord of a country to actually issue such an order and spread it out.

"No, I'm really curious about this team of cavalry." Who knew that Huang Taiji waved his hand, with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "At this moment, our army has not formed a siege on Dalinghe City, but The mountains and plains are full of our army, and this team of cavalry can break through my three lines of defense in a row. Don’t you guys feel a little surprised and curious? Others don’t know, but I am curious about this team of cavalry. This cavalry member is not only a brave general, but also a handsome talent. I am afraid he knows our plan, so he wants to take advantage of this opportunity and run away quickly, this is a talent!"

"Your Majesty, does he take this person to heart?" Fan Wencheng frowned.I was also amazed at this person's audacity, to break into battle at this time.You know, although Zu Dashou is timid, it is the safest way for him to decide to stick to Dalinghe City at this moment.How many people in a team of cavalry dare to break into the formation.I really don't know how to live or die.

"How many cavalry are in this team?" Ning Wan asked the spy while rolling his eyes.

"No more than 400 people." The spy thought for a while and said, "The leader wields a white wax spear. He has never had a single enemy under him. He is very powerful. There are three fierce generals behind him, and one is good at archery." , It is hard to guard against in the chaotic army."

"A team of 400 people dares to enter the battle. Such people make me very curious." Huang Taiji smiled and said to Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan beside me: "The Central Plains is not only vast in land and resources, but also has a lot of talents. It's a pity that , Chongzhen children do not know the heroes of the world, let go of the two gentlemen, even such a fierce general, what a pity, if such a court is not destroyed, it is a strange thing? Such a country, I deserve to be the ruler of the Qing Dynasty. I love Xinjueluo, so I should be the ruler of the Central Plains, replace the Han people, and become the master of the world."

"What your majesty said is true, Chongzhen is stupid, this great Ming country should be taken by your majesty." Fan Wencheng and others heard the words, not only did they not have any look of sadness on their faces, but there was a hint of complacency on the contrary.

"Let's go, then go and see who the hell is, who dares to break through our army's three lines of defense." Huang Taiji laughed loudly, and immediately led the army roaring away, heading towards Dalinghe City.For a while, Dalinghe City was finally besieged, and Zu Dashou and others could hardly fly with their wings.
