Han ride

Chapter 440
"My lord, you are joking. Li Xin only has a large army. It is already very good that he can produce 2 troops. Otherwise, how will he deal with attacks from other places? The general thinks that there is only one cavalry that can deal with us. As long as this team of cavalry can be wiped out, our road will be unimpeded, and there will be no other enemies." Huang Degong thought for a while and said.

"That's right, that's right." Cao Bianjiao and Wang Dou also nodded.As long as this group of cavalry can be eliminated, the rest will be easy to handle.

"In this case, the governor will lead the Chinese army and slowly attack towards Yunzhong. General Wang Dou will protect the Chinese army, and General Huang and Xiao General Cao will lead the cavalry to attack this group of cavalry." Yang Sichang thought for a while, and finally made up his mind.If you want to succeed, you must first destroy this team of cavalry.

"Don't worry, my lord. The last general will definitely wipe out this group of cavalry." Huang Degong and Cao Bianjiao looked at each other and said loudly.Only then did Yang Sichang nodded in satisfaction.

The next day, You Ye Bu Sui finally found the cavalry led by Yang Xiong and others. Huang Degong and Cao Bianjiao did not dare to neglect, and quickly led tens of thousands of cavalry to kill Yang Xiong.

"When did Yang Sichang become so powerful? He is so courageous." Yang Xiong, Huluke Zhaisang and the others said, "Isn't he afraid that we still have an army coming from the side to kill him? It would be impossible to destroy his central army." ?”

Huluke Zhaisang shook his head and said, "The key is that we don't have any other troops in hand." He is a prairie man, so he obviously found this loophole. Unfortunately, what he said is not wrong at all. No remaining army could be drawn.This is probably why Yang Sichang dared to divide his troops.

"Let's go, since that's the case, we'll drag this group of cavalry along. On the grassland, sooner or later we'll find a chance to destroy them." Yang Xiong thought for a while, and said, "We're going to our hinterland, gathering our troops along the way, looking Give him a chance to be ruthless." Yang Xiong also has no choice, although he is a bit of a soldier, but if he confronts Yang Sichang head-on, even if he can win, there will be countless casualties, so very simply, Yang Xiong simply ran away.

After Yang Sichang got the news, he further concluded that the Zhengbei Army did not have any extra troops to deal with him, so he immediately ordered Huang Degong and Cao Bianjiao to lead the cavalry to continue chasing and killing Yang Xiong, while he led the army slowly towards Yunzhong.

But what Yang Sichang didn't know was that just outside his camp, more than a hundred miles away, there was a big camp standing on the grassland, stretching for more than a hundred miles, with a golden dragon banner appearing in the middle of the camp. Around the banner, there are also tents of yellow, blue, white, red and other colors, and a huge big tent stands in the middle.

In the big tent, coughing could be heard from time to time, but seeing Huang Taiji leading the army here, not only he came, but also Dorgon and other civil servants and generals came one after another. This time Huang Taiji went south, it can be said that he led With all the elite soldiers and horses of the Great Jin Kingdom, it is to deal the most powerful blow to the Ming Dynasty.

"Yang Sichang is dispatched. Tens of thousands of troops left Zhangjiakou together. It is so imposing. This is for Li Xin to be wiped out in the clouds." Huang Taiji's face was slightly yellow, but his expression was extremely happy. He raised his hands He said: "Look, this Yang Sichang is really bold, leaving only more than 1 people stationed in Zhangjiakou, do you really think that I will not go south to hunt?"

"That's natural. If they knew that the emperor personally commanded an army of [-] to go south, I'm afraid Yang Sichang would not have the courage to go north to the grassland." Fan Wencheng said proudly.

"How is Li Xin's situation now?" Huang Taiji asked the crowd again.What he is most worried about now is Li Xin. Where is Li Xin's soldiers and horses?This time, the Dajin Kingdom once again raised an army and went south to the Central Plains.At that time, if Li Xin leads the army again, then Huang Taiji may be even more in danger.

"According to the news, Li Xin has already entered the territory of Datong. I am afraid that he has already occupied Shuozhou at this time. Jiang Yu is a man of great ambition and talent, and he is not Li Xin's opponent at all. I think Datong will be occupied by Li Xin sooner or later." Fan Wencheng He said with a smile: "This time when we went south, all the people we met along the way, no matter if they were Han or Manchu, were all captured and captured in the camp. No matter how well-informed Li Xin was, it was impossible for Li Xin to know about our army." Fan Wencheng Nodding, very proud, the rest of the people also nodded.

"Li Xin's army is not here, and it happens to be the best time for us to hunt." Dorgon said with confidence.

"Report, Your Majesty, the army of the Ming Dynasty is divided into two, and the cavalry has left the central army to pursue the northern army." At this time, another intelligence came from outside the account.

"What?" After hearing this, Huang Taiji stood up from the couch all of a sudden, with a look of surprise on his face, trembling all over his body.

The same is true for Fan Wencheng and others, their eyes were red and wide open, and finally they laughed, and cupped their hands towards Huang Taiji and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, God bless my Qing Dynasty! In the past, we only attacked the Xuanfu, but now we can destroy it." Yang Sichang has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and then he can easily attack the Xuan Mansion." Fan Wencheng and others were able to see the mystery of this all at once.Yang Sichang's cavalry broke away from the main force and chased Li Xin's cavalry. It may be impossible to come back in a short time, and Yang Sichang dared to do so because he did not notice the Jin army in the distance. A fantastic opportunity for Tai Chi.

"That's right, attacking Yang Sichang and destroying Yang Sichang. Haha, I said that we should not only wipe out the vital forces of the Ming Dynasty. Yang Sichang's Xuanfu elite soldiers have been stationed in the northwest of Beijing, so we have to find other ways to attack the Central Plains. Now If Yang Sichang is wiped out, the Xuanfu, which is only guarded by 1 people, can go down overnight, good, good." Huang Taiji laughed, jumped down all of a sudden, and said to the crowd: "Order the three armies, make food in the third shift, and set off at the fifth shift." , attacked Yang Sichang’s camp. Chongzhen’s children are good. Although Li Xin is going to rebel, he won’t in a short time. This guy is so stupid that he actually forced Li Xin to rebel. Let's see how this Emperor Chongzhen has the face to face his ancestors."

Poor Yang Sichang never imagined that there was such an army hidden just a few feet away from him, with nearly a hundred thousand troops ready to go, just waiting for him to take the bait.

June [-]th of the seventh year of Chongzhen was undoubtedly a bloody night. The Ming army camp on the grassland was not very strong, because neither Yang Sichang nor Wang Dou and others thought that Jiannu's army had secretly Appear in your vicinity.

In the early morning, a trace of mist on the grassland disappeared without a trace, and those firehead soldiers were preparing breakfast, when suddenly the ground shook, and there were thousands of troops and horses on the grassland, and armors of various colors appeared one after another. before.

"Jianu is here." When the soldiers on the watchtower saw Jianu killing him, they were taken aback for a moment, and then they shouted loudly, their voices were shrill, and instantly resounded through the sky, shaking the entire army.It's a pity that all of this can't be redeemed. Jiannu's cavalry has long been prepared, but the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty army have just gotten up, and they haven't even put on their armor. There was confusion, and there were bursts of exclamations in the entire camp.

Yang Sichang in the central army was also awakened quickly, and was about to call up the army to fight, but in the camp, how many generals could remain calm, and how many soldiers could remain organized.There were bursts of gunfire in the distance, and the simple Dazhai was blasted open the camp gate in an instant.

"Haha, Yang Sichang is nothing more than that. Pass down the order, and the flag masters of all banners will attack. Capture Yang Sichang alive." Looking at the chaos in the Ming army camp, Huang Taiji couldn't help laughing. He drew out his sword and pointed it into the distance. The camp of the Ming army issued an order.In an instant, hundreds of thousands of Jiannu troops swarmed out. They brandished their weapons, howled with excitement, and their eyes were full of excitement. If they were faced with such a group of cowards every time, they should be able to immediately How much credit?

In the face of a tiger-wolf division like Jiannu, the Ming army was quickly defeated. There were tens of thousands of troops, without the effective coordination of the generals, and it was caught off guard. It didn't last for a long time. There were shouts of killing and begging for mercy everywhere in the camp. The Ming army was already defeated and could not organize effective resistance at all.

"My lord, let's go! If you don't go, it will be too late." Wang Dou's armor is also messy, and there is a huge wound on his left arm. He was injured by the opponent when he was fighting against Oboi. Fortunately, the soldiers beside him Still quite heroic, blocked the enemy's attack and let Wang Dou escape.

"I led an army of [-] in the Northern Expedition to Li Xin. I didn't expect that the [-] army was defeated by Jiannu before Yunzhong arrived. How can I have the face to meet His Majesty after I go back?" Yang Sichang's face was ashen, and the whole person was quiet Standing there, the Shang Fang sword in his hand did not know when it fell to the ground.He is now in despair. Last night, he was still imagining how to conquer Yunzhong and destroy Li Xin, how he would worship the general and become a prime minister, but when he woke up this morning, all these things were destroyed by Jiannu.He now regrets why he let Huang Degong take the cavalry away. Otherwise, he would still be able to fight. Now that the army has collapsed, all the [-] troops have been surrounded and wiped out here. I don't know how many can escape.Just on the grassland, how much can escape back!

"My lord, Jianu's deceitfulness and sudden attack have nothing to do with your lord. I believe the emperor will understand." Wang Dou glanced around worriedly, and his face became even more anxious. The Jiannu in the distance had obviously spotted Yang Sichang. clothes off.The official robes worn by civil servants of the Ming Dynasty are so conspicuous, it's hard not to be noticed!

"Wang Dou, let's go! Go back to the Xuan Mansion and tell Cao Wenzhao that Jiannu will probably attack the Xuan Mansion next." Yang Sichang shook his head suddenly, and said to Wang Dou, "You can bring back as many soldiers as you can."

"What about you, my lord?" Wang Dou had a bad feeling.

There was a wry smile on the corner of Yang Sichang's mouth, he picked up the sword from the ground, and said: "I, Yang Sichang, are jealous of virtuous men, and this time I even wrote the wrong words against Li Xin. I secretly linked up with Jiang Tiao and others for the Northern Expedition with hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if the emperor's benevolence and righteousness will let me go, those in the court will not let me go. What's more, I, Yang Sichang, have read the books of sages and sages, so how can I be timid? There is always one person who will bear the consequences for such a thing. I, Yang Sichang I just have to bear such consequences, but even if I, Yang Sichang, die, I will still kill a few slaves. You, let’s go!” Yang Sichang jumped on his horse, raised his sword, and said loudly: “All the soldiers will follow you. I kill the enemy."

"All the soldiers follow me to kill the enemy." A loud roar came, but Wang Dou also turned over and rode on his horse, followed closely behind Yang Sichang.

"Kill the enemy." Yang Sichang and Wang Dou's performance shocked many soldiers of the Ming army, and they also gathered around Yang Sichang and Wang Dou, and killed Jiannu.

"Forget it! Let you and I come and kill once, and it's worth walking in the world." Yang Sichang saw Wang Dou following behind him, with a look of death, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and finally burst out laughing, The two led hundreds of people and killed them towards the banner of Jiannu.

"He is a character with backbone." Huang Taiji looked at Yang Sichang and Wang Dou who were fighting bravely in the Jiannu army in the distance, sighed in his heart, and nodded.

"Even if he is a little brave, I'm afraid it's useless." Fan Wencheng said disdainfully: "This man is incompetent. If he is overthrown by a [-]-strong army, if he does not die, he will be killed by those in the court after returning to the Ming Dynasty." People are being forced to death. In this case, it is better to die vigorously, at least no one said anything among the people." Fan Wencheng said Yang Sichang's plan at once, and perhaps Yang Sichang would regret it, but Yang Sichang's move itself was for the sake of He came from his own acquittal.

"Kill them." Huang Taiji nodded.Although he likes scholars very much, Huang Taiji really doesn't like people like Yang Sichang who don't have the slightest sense of the big picture.Looking at Yang Sichang's three-way army's Northern Expedition, this is a situation that must be won, but Huang Taiji knows that if Li Xin is so easy to deal with, then he is not Li Xin. If so, he Huang Taiji can also take the opportunity to destroy the opponent , how could it be Yang Sichang's turn to make a move.Following the sound of Huang Taiji's subzero, many cavalrymen around shot out one after another, and killed Yang Sichang.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent, and I will be loyal to the Emperor today." After all, Yang Sichang is a civil servant, and it is very rare to be able to kill a few soldiers on a horse. However, his strength is much weaker, and he was quickly chopped off by the soldiers. .Wang Dou was also dispersed by the rebellious army, how could he support the opponent.Seeing Yang Sichang being besieged, he was helpless.

"The old man is the magistrate of the Xuanfu, and the minister of the Ministry of War, who was bestowed by the emperor. Today's defeat is deserved, but as a Han subject, how can he fall into the hands of you barbarians?" Yang Si glanced at the soldiers around him disdainfully, and took the sword , Facing the south, he slayed himself and died.

"It's a pity, but he is a loyal person." Seeing this, Huang Taiji said with some regret.

With the death of Yang Sichang, tens of thousands of Ming troops collapsed in an instant. Facing Jiannu, they had no power to resist. They fled in all directions, some fled to Xuanfu, some fled to Yunzhong, and some People took the opportunity to surrender Jiannu.Huang Taiji ordered the army to chase and kill for fifty miles before withdrawing.In this battle, about 2 people died in the Ming army. The rest either surrendered or fled back to Xuanfu and Yunzhong. In this way, the tens of thousands of troops who conquered Li Xin were completely wiped out.

However, after the slave-building army rested for a day, Huang Taiji rejected Fan Wencheng's suggestion. He did not take the opportunity to disappear Li Xin and attack Li Xin's Yunzhong, but went south to attack Xuanfu.He believes that Li Xin doesn't seem to have many troops defending Yunzhong, but his background is still there. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can be easily obtained with a wave of hands. Attacking Yunzhong will only cause Li Xin to rebound and fight desperately. In the end it was a lose-lose situation.It's better to attack the Xuanfu, which has not much strength, and seize the important border town of the Ming Dynasty, so as to avoid slowly fighting from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan and then to Beijing.It is easier and easier to kill from Xuanfu.

At this time in the Xuan Mansion, Cao Wenzhao was also in a hurry. There were only [-] elite soldiers around him, and they were all infantry. He fell into the Nine Nether Hells.Jiannu Huang Taiji personally led the army to kill, and the soldiers and horses numbered at least [-].Cao Wenzhao never imagined that Yang Sichang's army was not defeated by Li Xin, but by Jiannu, and now Jiannu sent troops.The [-] army will attack the Xuan Mansion next. Can the [-] army of the Xuan Mansion resist the attack of Jiannu?Cao Wenzhao has no confidence.I had to order people to hurry up and report to Emperor Chongzhen in six hundred miles, and mobilized the people to guard the Xuanfu.

It is a pity that Jiannu is Jiannu after all, and he fought extremely bravely. Although Cao Wenzhao was a rare fierce general, he was outnumbered in the face of Jiannu's attack, but he held on for three days. Zhangjiakou fell and Cao Wenzhao died in battle.The important town of Xuanfu instantly opened its arms to Jiannu.

But at this time, Huang Degong and Cao Bianjiao, who were chasing Yang Xiong, knew the news of Jiannu's going south, the breach of the Xuan Mansion, the death of Cao Wenzhao, the lack of food and grass behind, and the cut off of the back road. In desperation, they had to surrender to Yang Xiong.Then, Yang Sichang's three-way attack on Yunzhong eliminated Li Xin.I didn't expect that this kind of situation would happen on my way. I didn't count if I died in battle. One hundred thousand troops and tens of thousands of cavalry fell into the hands of Li Xin, and they were all surrendered to the establishment.

This situation reached the ears of Huang Taiji of the Xuanfu, and Huang Taiji was also stunned, and finally let out a long sigh. He didn't expect that after working hard for a long time, he finally fulfilled Li Xin's surrender of tens of thousands of cavalry. After that, it will be completely owned by Li Xin. More importantly, with these tens of thousands of cavalry, Li Xin will have the most powerful weapons on the central and western fronts. Hong Chengchou and Jiang Yu, who originally fought together, will definitely face Li Xin's blow.
