Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 32 Encountering the Tartars
Azige, king of Duoluo Wuying County, led an army of 10 to Mongolia, entered the Great Wall from Xifengkou, and went all the way south, burning, killing, and looting. He conquered more than a dozen counties and counties, and approached the capital, shaking the Ming Dynasty.

But these 10 Tartar soldiers are not monolithic. There is a general Amin under him, who is arrogant and domineering, rebellious.In fact, he just refused to accept it, not only he refused to accept Azig, he even refused to accept Qing Taizong Huang Taiji, if it was more serious, he also had a grudge against Taizu Nurhachi.

Amin's father and Nurhachi were brothers, but died at the hands of Nurhachi, so Amin had a grudge against this uncle.

But Nurhachi was not mean to Amin. During the Nurhachi period, the most famous one was the Four Great Baylors. Nurhachi made Amin the second of the Four Great Baylors.The other three Baylors are Daishan, Manggurtai and Huang Taiji. These three are all Nurhachi's own sons, but Amin is his own nephew who has a grudge against him.

It can be seen that Amin's unique position in the Houjin royal family.

After Nurhaci's death, Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne. Amin didn't pay attention to this Huang Taiji even more. He often violated his will and didn't obey his orders. He didn't want to come back, but thanks to Zhubeile's objection, Amin had to restrain himself.

Huang Taiji is also a headache for this cousin, but Huang Taiji is superior, he is indeed a master of maneuvering, otherwise Nurhachi has so many sons, and he, the "old eight", will not be able to inherit the rule.

Although Amin did not listen to control, it seriously affected his imperial power.But he didn't plan to get rid of him yet. It wasn't that Huang Taiji was soft-hearted and cared about family affection, but that the Qing Dynasty had just been established, and Mongolia, North Korea, and Ming Dynasty were all his strong enemies.Amin is brave and good at fighting, and his bravery is extraordinary.The former emperor Nurhachi did not kill him, but reused him. Of course, Huang Taiji would not do such a stupid thing.

So he passed on the contradiction and let this disobedient prickly head set off against Daming.But he must not be allowed to be the chief general. The chief general will be Azige, who is the prince of Huang Taiji's half-brother.

Although Azige is Huang Taiji's half-brother, he doesn't really support Huang Taiji as the emperor. If his younger brother Dorgon was not a kid in his teens, he would even be willing to support Dorgon For the emperor.

In this way, Huang Taiji sent these two political opponents to conquer Daming, the old enemy of the Qing Dynasty.

In order to restrain these two political enemies and achieve power checks and balances, Huang Taiji sent his own brother Abatai to be their supervisor.What's interesting is that this Abatai is also dissatisfied with his status. He is also the son of Huang Taiji, why is it that everyone else is a prince and Heshuo Baylor, while he only got a Dorao Baylor.

In addition, Huang Taiji also sent to them his nephew, Yuetuo, who had just been demoted.

In this way, out of the five generals leading the army, four of them were at odds with Huang Taiji, and they were all sent out by Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji was also very generous, and gave them several 10 horses at once. Of course, these were Azig's white flag, Amin's inlaid blue flag, and Yuetuo's inlaid red flag. The 10 Tartar soldiers were mainly composed of these Composed of three banners.

As soon as these guys left Huang Taiji's eyeliner, crossed the Great Wall, and entered the Central Plains, they were like wild beasts coming out of their cages, unstoppable.The famous generals of the Ming Dynasty, Li Yongfang, Zhao Lijiao, and Man Gui were defeated in battles, dying and surrendering.

The Eight Banners of the Tartars are powerful, they have long forgotten the unhappiness of fighting within the royal family, burning, killing, looting, and raping prostitutes greatly stimulated their animal nature, making them enjoy it and become even wilder.

The capital of Ming Dynasty is in sight, and Azig and Abatai are ambitious.

But Amin and Yue Tuo were unwilling to obey the control, and they were unwilling to listen to the words of the chief general Azig and the superintendent Abatai. They brought ten thousand troops with blue flags and red flags, and they wanted to fight wherever they wanted. Do whatever you want, if you enter the land of no one, you will leave the main force and run wild in the northeast direction.

The frontier troops of the Ming Dynasty were deficient in defense and neglected in training. At most they could rely on some ineffective firearms. In the face of these elites of the Eight Banners, they were ultimately too difficult to use. They were simply vulnerable and fled.

In this case, the unlucky people are of course the common people. After burning, killing and looting, groups of men, women and children were driven into the barracks by them.The women are for their wanton lust, and the men are like animals, they are enslaved by them. If something goes wrong, they will be slaughtered wantonly, and the bones will be piled up.

Ordinary people have no choice but to flee from death, avoiding them like the plague, but when they can't escape, only the sheep go to the tiger's mouth, resigning to fate, the weak will eat, and the strong will eat. This is the basic rule of this game.

On this day, Amin, with a fat head and a pigtail of money, just got off the woman and was still breathing, and someone from his subordinates came to report.

"Lord Baylor, the army of barbarians has been spotted ahead."

People in the Ming Dynasty called these nomadic frontier peoples in the north Tartars, and these Tartars called these Han people Manzi and Nanman.

"How many people?" Amin pursed his lips, and wiped the sweat on the almost bald top of his head with his big hand like a cattail fan, just dismissing it.

"Back to Lord Baylor, it's about a thousand."

"Hmph, only 1000 people, let Yue Tuo kill them all."

"The slave obeys."

This Yue Tuo had just been punished by Huang Taiji as a Baylor by the prince, and he had some ties to Amin, and now he took all his grievances on these Nanmans.

Along the way, he did not know how many Han people were killed, how many women were ruined, and how many valuable things from the Han people were robbed. It can be said that his hands were covered with the blood of the Han people.

After Yue Tuo ordered, more than 3000 people wearing red flags rushed towards a group of targets several miles away like a whirlwind.

……

"My lord, a large number of Tartars have been found a few miles away!"

After walking for another two days, someone came to report to Zu Keyong.

"Line up!" Zu Keyong was fierce and aggressive. When he heard that the Tartars were coming, he immediately regained his energy.

What kind of generals are destined to bring out what kind of soldiers. Like him, more than 1000 people under him, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, their spirits suddenly came up.

"My lord, there are too many Tartars, how many times our number, should we retreat first, avoid their edge, and then make plans." Wang Jian suggested.

"Retreat, where to withdraw? There is wilderness all around, do it with them!" Zu Keyong looked around and gritted his teeth.

"My subordinate understands."

Under the command of Zu Keyong, according to the principle of taking defense as offense, a thousand Ningyuan soldiers were quickly divided into three echelons, with 50 musketeers at the front, 200 archers in the second echelon, and [-] archers in the second echelon. The eight hundred horse infantry soldiers below are the third echelon.

After the camp was lined up, Zu Keyong immediately stood on a small hill behind him, and Lin Yi followed closely with more than 100 guards.

At this time, Ji Dong felt a little nervous. As a person who had traveled through time, although he had already adapted to the life of the military camp in the late Ming Dynasty, he was the legendary Tartar who was as fierce as a beast. From the beginning to the end, he had never seen what a Tartar looked like. There are only impressions in the film and television lenses of later generations and in literary works, but those are all fictional elements, and now we have to move to the real thing.

What we are going to face is the invincible Eight Banners Army!

Moreover, the three major armies in the late Ming Dynasty, the Guanning Iron Cavalry, the Qin Army, and the Tianxiong Army, including the white-armed soldiers in Sichuan, no matter how good the reasons are, no matter how many times they have defeated the Tartars, but In the end, they were all defeated by the Eight Banners Army of the Tartars. According to the theory of success and defeat, after all, it was Aixinjueluo who finally won the world, had the last laugh, and laid the foundation of the Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years. This is ironclad In fact, this is not mainly due to the Eight Banners cavalry?

Although Ji Dong had been mentally prepared for a long time, this body had fought desperately with the Tartars, but when the matter came to a critical point, it was really time to start a war with the Tartars. As the first time, it was inevitable that Lin Yi would be a little nervous. .

However, he is not a recruit who has never been on the battlefield. The experience of special forces in later generations has forged his extremely strong psychological quality. After traveling for so long, he has fought against border soldiers, bandit leaders and guerrilla generals of the Ningyuan Army. , fought with both the Weisuo Army and the Ningyuan Army, and he has experienced many battles. He thinks that the Tartars are no big deal, and the Tartars are not superhuman. Stretching his legs and staring, he was breathless. Thinking of this, Ji Dong was full of confidence again, and even a little impatient to kill the Tartars.

"I'm going to fight the Tartars in a while, you have to follow me and don't run around." Lin Yi whispered to Xiaoying beside him.

Xiaoying's big eyes lit up, revealing her jade-white teeth, "Don't worry, Brother Lin, you won't be able to drive me away. But at critical moments, I will never be your burden."

It was her that Ji Dong was most worried about. After giving instructions, he stared into the distance. At this time, there was no movement in the vast wilderness.

But people's line of sight is too limited, even though they are immediately at a high place, in this barren hills and mountains, the enemy may attack at any time, enter the line of sight, and it is only a matter of minutes before the two sides engage in battle.

Knowing that the enemy is strong and we are weak, the experienced Ningyuan army began to dig ditches and trenches, and seized the time to repair fortifications.

The ditch had just been half dug, when someone yelled, "The Tartars are coming!"

The soldiers of the Ningyuan Army who were repairing the fortifications hurriedly threw away the shovels in their hands, picked up the weapons in their hands and prepared for battle.

The fifty gunners of the first echelon were already in place. They squatted in a ditch about one meter away, and the bullets and gunpowder had already been loaded.However, in the face of an enemy that is several times stronger, the gunners are limited, and they cannot form a chain of cross-fire formations. They can only use single-line firepower to defeat the enemy's spirit. 800 archers are used as supplements. strength.

Lin Yi saw Zu Keyong's formation, both offensive and defensive, able to advance and retreat, and he knew that Zu Keyong was a general with rich combat experience, not a warrior. He deserved to be the guerrilla general of the Ningyuan Army!
At this time, in Ji Dong's sight, countless small black spots appeared, and the small black spots became bigger and bigger, and thousands of horses galloped towards him in the blink of an eye...
