Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 139 Capturing the Concubine Bayou

"Everyone!"

Engedel, who was under the earth city and on horseback, was furious when he saw this, and immediately wanted to raise troops to rescue his wife and children.

But at this moment, Shuo Tuo grabbed him and said with a sad face:

"Time is running out. If we change formation now, the Ming army and the people from Beicheng will attack us together, and the Lele formation of the concubine and the others will also be broken."

"Then what should we do now?!" Enraged, Engedel asked loudly, as if Shuo Tuo couldn't say anything, and was about to take him away.

The Lele chariot formation is a defensive chariot formation that appeared after the Mongols were beaten by Qi Jiguang. Breakthrough is only a matter of time.

Engdel's expression and tone were very urgent, and his performance also showed that his anger was ignited.

"It works..." Shuo Tuo chuckled inwardly, but on the surface he drew his sword angrily, pointed at Habayashi Wei in the distance, and roared: "Beat them first, and then save people!"

"The descendants of Naliburataiji! To avenge their relatives! Kill!" Engedel was dazzled, not knowing that everything was done by Shuo Tuo.

"kill!"

Knowing that their relatives were besieged, all the Mongolian cavalrymen of the Bayo tribe rushed towards the Ming army fearlessly as if they had been ignited, with their bows and arrows drawn up, ready to confront them at any time.

"Good come!"

Before the battle, Man Gui knew clearly that this was a manifestation of the opponent's anger when they knew that women and children had been intercepted and killed, but anger can easily go to the head and lead to defeat!
"Kill!" Man Gui drew his sword and pointed at the sky, and the guards on both sides behind him rushed out.

Under the guard of Habayashi Wei, he commanded the army to rush towards the coalition forces of Bayo and Shuo Tuo.

"boom!!!"

The two prepared iron cannons roared, and the solid bullets shot towards Habayashi Wei.

Although Man Gui arranged the formation in advance to reduce casualties, the two three-jin solid bullets smashed the two horses in an instant, even pierced the horse's body, and hit the horse's neck behind.

The two cannons were fired, and in an instant, six or seven riders in the Habayashi Guards fell to the ground, rolled on the ground, and were trampled and seriously injured by the unstoppable horses behind.

The distance of one mile is just a few breaths to the two armies.

The two armies approached, and the leader of the battle was Jiala Ezhen under Shuotuo's command. He led more than a thousand rear golden cavalry as the front.

The distance is getting closer and closer, and as the distance gets closer, Shuo Tuo also saw the riding blunderbuss in the hands of the Ming army, which resembles the kidnapper blunderbuss, and he yelled at everyone:

"It's the Wansheng Franc machine!"

However, his voice was too small and was drowned out by the sound of horseshoes, and the two armies approached unexpectedly.

Fifty steps, thirty steps, twenty steps...

Seeing that the distance was only [-] steps, Hou Jin's side and the Mongols were ready to shoot arrows after a detour.

Just when their Ming army would turn around like the cavalry of the Liaodong Ming army, the Habayashi guards charged directly with more than forty teams, then raised their guns and pulled the trigger...

"Bang bang bang-"

Intensive sounds exploded, and the lead bullets were propelled by the gunpowder, shot out along the barrel, and hit the rear golden cavalry and Mongolian cavalry who were not ready to shoot bows and arrows in the next second.

For a moment, the horses wailed, and the picture of the dead body fell appeared. It was just a round of gunshots, and one or two hundred people fell from the horses.

Shuo Tuo was lucky enough to escape, but was tripped by the dead horse in front of him, and countless cavalrymen who were tripped fell out one after another, flew several meters and landed on the grass.

Some of them climbed up, but were bumped and trampled by the horses of the own army behind them, but the own army could not avoid them.

"kill!!!"

After rushing into the enemy line, Man Gui inserted the riding gun into the gun bag, pulled out the gourd hammer on the side of the horse, and began to smash it.

Those who fell from the horse and were thrown out had just stood up when they were hit on the face by the pumpkin hammer and the iron bone.

Those who were lucky were knocked unconscious, and those who were unlucky were crushed to death in an instant.

"How dare they fight shortly?!"

Engedl only felt a chill rush from his spine to his brain.

At this time, the cavalry of the Jinmeng Allied Forces exposed their shortcomings. Their generals misjudged Habayashi Wei's tactics.

In the past, the cavalry of Liao Town would turn around and retreat after being confronted. Therefore, the Mongols and the post-golden cavalry also chose to turn around and confront again after being confronted.

But right now, when they confronted each other, the cavalry of the Ming army actually chose to charge directly into the formation.

This completely caught the Jinmeng Allied Forces by surprise!
They used the method of dealing with Liaozhen cavalry to deal with Habayashi Wei, which resulted in a sudden failure on their own side, but Habayashi Wei succeeded in breaking the formation.

Once the formation was successfully broken, facing the turmoil of the Jinmeng Allied Forces, the Habayashi Guards in three armors began to slaughter one-sidedly!

The scimitar has become a decoration, and the blunt weapon has become the main theme on the battlefield.

However, the pumpkin hammer of four or five catties, under the swing of the Habayashi guard cavalry, knocked a Mongolian cavalry over and fell off the horse.

Shouts of killing, shouts of pain, hissing, and the sound of metal and iron colliding, the entire battlefield was in chaos for a while.

The soldiers of Mongolia and Houjin had never seen the cavalry of the Ming army who dared to charge into battle after only facing each other once.

In the past experience, thousands of Liao Town cavalry rushed into the formation, and often they could only kill dozens of people at a time, so they had to go back and forth many times to break the formation by grinding their blood.

But this time is different. This time, the Ming army smashed the front row in a single confrontation. One or two hundred people fell down, and hundreds of people were tripped and flew out.

Just one round of confrontation disrupted the rhythm of the Jinmeng Allied Forces, and when they made a detour, they were already prepared to charge forward, dashing left and right with blunt weapons in hand.

The two sides passed each other, and at this time, the artillery at the gate of the city fired again after the two sides separated.

With two "booms", the two stone bombs took the lives of several Habayashi guards as before.

Man Gui had already made preparations, so after the two armies missed, more than fifty riders from a general banner rushed to kill the Han artillerymen who were heading towards the artillery.

Man Gui led the men back to the stationed horses, without saying a word, everyone took out their blunderbusses and started reloading.

The fixed gunpowder of the smoothbore riding blunderbuss is filled very quickly, but it takes only three or four breaths. The difficulty is to stuff the lead bullets into the riding blunderbuss.

For this process, fast people need twenty or thirty seconds, and slow people need forty or fifty seconds, but that is usually.

On horseback or on the battlefield, even Iron Man would feel flustered, not to mention the Habayashi guards.

Even Man Gui took a lot of time to fill it, it took a full minute, and it was even more so for others.

While they reloaded, Engedl led the cavalry away, and then the army turned back.

At this time, they only saw the corpses on the ground.

On the grass, there were all the corpses of Mongolians, a small number of Houjin soldiers, and a few poor corpses of Habayashi guards.

Such a change made Engedel suddenly feel at a loss.

Looking around, only then did he realize that the Ming army was just a round of short soldiers, but the people around him were visibly missing a small piece.

At this moment, he really wanted to hit the horse and leave, because this was an excellent opportunity, but at this moment he saw Shuo Tuo struggling to push away the corpse of the dead horse among the corpses.

"Why did you fall off the horse? Is this still Dajin Taiji?"

Engedel really wanted to yell, but then when he saw Habayashi who was loading the medicine, he immediately looked around and wanted to ask Jialaerzhen to rescue Shuotuo.

But he watched for a long time, but he didn't see the figure of the other party. He presumably rushed too far and was taken away by the Wansheng Frang machine of the Ming army.

"Go ahead and rescue your master!"

Engedel yelled at Hou Jinniu Luerzhen, who was still in a daze, and several Niuluerzhen also reacted, and hurriedly rode to rescue Shuotuo.

At this time, Habayashi Wei had finished loading the medicine, and Man Gui clearly saw the scene of several Niu Luerzhen rushing towards them with people.

He thought that Hou Jin wanted to take advantage of their unsteady foothold to attack again, so he hurriedly said:
"kill!"

He rode in the lead, leading the soldiers of the Habayashi guards to charge towards the Houjin cavalry. He had to take advantage of the incense of the artillery to defeat the Houjin and expand the results of the battle!

"master!"

A Niu Luzhen galloped the fastest, leaning over to pull Shuotuo, but Shuotuo was still in a daze at this moment.

He was thrown by the war horse and smashed badly, and he staggered. After being caught by Niu Lu Ezhen, he instinctively wanted to draw his sword and slash to kill him, but only after he found out that he was one of his own people did he understand everything around him.

In just one round of confrontation, the Hou Jin and the Mongols killed hundreds of people in battle. This scene has not been seen for many years.

"The firearms of the Ming army have changed, we must tell the Great Khan about this!"

Shuo Tuo turned on an unowned horse and wanted to flee.

But before he could escape, thousands of golden cavalry rushed to kill him, and Engedel also tried to pinch the Habayashi guard cavalry from both sides.

Breaking it into pieces, Habayashi rushed out from the four gaps surrounded by double-teaming, and the riding blunderbuss loaded with lead bullets also showed its power again.

Accompanied by the sound of "bang bang", there were more than a hundred people who fell from the horse in the late Jin Dynasty, and two to three hundred people from the Bayo tribe fell from the horse.

The battle damage has already exceeded the expectations of Shuo Tuo and Engedel. If they were facing the cavalry of Liao Town, the two rounds of face-to-face confrontation would kill or injure at most two or three hundred people, but right now...

no!If the fight continues like this, the morale of the army will inevitably collapse.

Just as they were about to order a retreat, there was a rumble from the southwest.

Shuotuo, Engedel and the others looked up, only to see thousands of horses galloping in the distance, led by cavalry dressed in Ming army armor, and more than a hundred banners flying.

"The Ming army's reinforcements are coming! Blow the whistle and withdraw the troops, withdraw!"

After Shuo Tuo's words fell, he shook the reins and ordered someone to whistle and leave.

Engdel also saw the scene of hundreds of banners and thousands of horses galloping. Counting the banners, the reinforcements numbered at least several thousand.

Although he was not reconciled, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Withdraw!"

As he spoke, the sound of Humai sounded, and all the Bayo Mongols who missed Habayashiwei had no time to take away the corpses of others, so they could only flee with Shuo Tuo in a hurry.

The original team of more than [-] people had only more than [-] people left after two rounds of face-to-face volleys.

Man Gui wielded a long knife and led the Habayashi guards to kill them, but after all, he lacked horsepower, and after several miles of chasing, someone fell down, and Man Gui could only let Shuo Tuo and Engedel go unwillingly.

"Glossy silver!"

Looking at the fleeing Houjin and Bayo troops, Man Gui got off his horse and stamped his feet, very angry.

At this time, Qianhu, the left army who was in charge of encircling the north of the city, came with his men on horseback, and shouted loudly:
"General, I caught a big fish!"

"What?" Man Gui didn't care about recovering his horsepower when he heard it, and immediately got on his horse and rushed towards the left army Qianhu.

"What big fish?" Man Gui came with a few people on horseback, and Zuo Jun Qianhu also said with a smile:

"The concubine of Engedel and all the women and children were captured, as well as tens of thousands of horses and thousands of cattle and sheep. The concubine is the daughter of the old slave brother Shuerhaqi."

"Okay!" Hearing that the men under his command had actually caught the old slave's niece, Man Gui immediately ordered the left and right Qianhu to say:
"Collect all the horses, and the lame ones will be used as draft horses, the inferior ones will be used as poor horses, and the best ones will be used as army horses."

"Send people to the surrounding areas to inform the Chaohua and other departments, as well as the sentinels inside the Bayo department."

"Tell Chaohua that the Bayue tribe refused to obey Daming's discipline, and had an affair with Hou Jin, which has now been flattened."

"Let them send people here to discuss matters."

"In addition, ask people to change horses and go south, and tell Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, to order him to send cavalry north to take over the pastures and Tucheng of the Bayo tribe."

"Tell those sentry riders that if you want their families, come here. I, Man Gui, will treat them kindly and let them not be afraid."

Man Gui's arrangement was very good, and the only thing that made a plan with Zhu Youjian was to let Xiong Tingbi send troops northward.

Therefore, the Habayashi guard commander next to him also questioned:
"General, what Your Highness said is, let us exchange the pastures of the Bayo Department for the pastures in the middle and lower reaches of the Liao River."

"Change, but this city can't be changed!" Man Gui pointed at the sorghum field in the distance with his horsewhip and said:

"There are so many fields reclaimed by the people of Bayeux, it can be used as the frontier of Liao Town."

"With this city as the boundary, the grassland to the north will be assigned to Chaohua in exchange for the grassland in the middle and lower reaches of the Liaohe River and Liaoze."

"Yes!" Hearing that Man Gui did not disobey King Qi's order, the commander no longer questioned, but ordered people to notify the ministries and sentry cavalry, and ordered people to collect the horses scattered on the battlefield and harvest all the heads.

Two quarters of an hour later, when Habayashi had finished cleaning the battlefield, more than a thousand cavalrymen also descended from the north.

They looked at the Habayashi Guard who was still harvesting heads from several miles away, but they didn't dare to go forward to attack, just because the corpses all over the ground told them that this Ming army was extraordinary.

After a long time, a group of more than a hundred cavalry slowly walked out of the team. After they approached slowly, they saw some captured Bayo Mongols.

"I'm Zhong Nenbeile from Zarut's department. I'm here following Chaohua Taiji's words. Your general has asked us to discuss matters."

A Mongolian nobleman in silk and satin spoke fluent Chinese, and the cavalry in charge of guarding heard it and stepped forward and said:

"You wait here, I will inform General Man!"

After all, he asked someone to inform Man Gui, and Man Gui, who was sitting and resting at the base of the city wall, also got the news of Zhong Nen's going south after a cup of tea.

In order to show his strength, he called all Habayashi guards except guards and go out.

After a great battle, the four thousand feather guards went out of the city together. The elite armor made Zhong Nen vigilant, and Man Gui also rode out from among them:
"Ming general Man Gui, the opposite is Zhong Nenbeile from the Zalut Department?"

"It's me!" Zhong Nen responded vigilantly, and then shouted loudly from more than ten meters away:
"Why do you want to invade Bayeux?"

"Invasion of the Bayo tribe? This is the territory of my Ming Dynasty. Engdel of the Bayo tribe is just nomadic with my Da Ming's permission. Don't you guys need to pay tribute to my Ming Dynasty? Where did the theory of invasion come from?"

Man Gui first refuted the other party's so-called invasion theory, and then said:
"Then Engedel, colluded with Jianlu, provided food and horses for Jianlu, wiped them out, and took back the grassland that should have been!"

"However, His Royal Highness King Qi of the Ming Dynasty heard that you lost troops and lost generals in the battle of Tieling, so he ordered me to exchange the pastures north of Tucheng in the Bayo tribe for your pastures in the middle and lower reaches of the Liao River."

"In the future, I will open the exchange market outside the customs in the Tucheng of Bayeux. Chahar, Horqin and you can all come to the exchange market."

"Change the pasture?" Hearing this, Zhong Nen frowned slightly, just because the pasture in the middle and lower reaches was Zai Sai's pasture.

Although Zai Sai was beaten by Nurhachi in Tieling, there were still more than two thousand men after all.

Changing his pasture is not up to him, Zhong Nen.

However, the pastures in the northern part of the Bayo tribe are indeed very fertile, and Zaisai’s tribe has enmity with Houjin. I heard that Zaisai still wants to take revenge. It’s not good to put him near Houjin after all. bad thing.

Therefore, Zhong Nen said: "I'll go back and ask Chaohua Taiji, please wait a moment, Angel."

"Hurry up, hurry back!" Man Gui waved his horsewhip, and Zhong Nen also turned around and led them away.

Watching their leaving backs, Man Gui knew that even if they couldn't change the pasture, the barbarian tribes probably wouldn't dare to come to fight Habayashi Wei.

So he looked at the commander next to him and asked, "How's the head harvest going?"

When the commander heard the words, his face was a little regretful and he said: "The harvest head ranks [-], but it's a pity that only the [-] ranks were established, and the [-] ranks of the northern captives."

"However, most of the Jiankui were shot in the face, or fell from their horses and were trampled to death, and most of the Beikui also suffered from knife wounds and blunt wounds on the face. If it is handed over to the military department, I am afraid that there will be less than a hundred grades in the end."

The review of heads in the Ming Dynasty was very strict before the Chongzhen Dynasty. The heads of the heads should not have any injuries such as knife wounds or blunt wounds on the face. This is very unfair to the Ming army who likes to face suddenly.

Although this is to avoid killing the good and taking the credit, but in the middle and late stages, people are very disgusted with the requirements of the military department.

Zhu Youjian understood this, so he had already discussed everything with Man Gui before departure, so Man Gui laughed and said:
"His Royal Highness has long known that the Bing Ke is not a good guy, so he said that the other leaders who cannot report to the Bing Ke will be handed over to the Royal Horse Supervisor for identification. As long as they are real captives, the Royal Horse Supervisor will allocate money."

"The beheading money is probably three to forty thousand taels. Tell the brothers, don't care who killed it, and the whole army will divide the beheading money equally!"

"Yes!" Hearing Man Gui's words, the commander breathed a sigh of relief.

If the beheading is not counted, I am afraid that Habayashi Wei and the other brothers of the Sixteenth Guards will find it difficult to swallow this breath, but fortunately, His Royal Highness is sensible.

But after being relieved, the commander also reported with a smile:

"The last general asked the Han people in the city. This Tucheng of Bayuebu has more than [-] mu of cultivated land and a tributary."

"In addition, our army captured more than [-] military horses, more than [-] rough horses, [-] cattle, and [-] sheep."

"This is only from the headquarters. The small sentinel tribes outside should add up, and there should be a lot of horses, cattle and sheep."

"We sent troops this time, but we earned a lot of face and money for His Highness!"

"I think the general will be promoted soon."

"Haha..." Man Gui responded with a smile. To put it bluntly, he is also very embarrassed at the moment.

Just because there is no military merit, it is impossible for Zhu Youjian to let him and Sun Yingyuan become the commander-in-chief or commander-in-chief of the [-]th Guards Army and the [-]th Battalion.

Therefore, they can only command several guards and horses with the official position of participating generals.

But now it's all right, razing the Bayo tribe, allowing Engedel and Houjin to escape, and destroying Houjin's only ally in Neikalkha, this is a great achievement.

Now all he had to do was wait for Xiong Tingbi to send cavalry northward, then replace the pastures with Chaohua, and finally send troops to pretend to attack Kaiyuan and Tieling, and his Royal Highness' goal had been achieved.

There is no need to worry about this matter, after all, Sun Yingyuan's soldiers and horses have not gone to Zhenjiang yet.

Thinking of this, Man Gui also dismounted and sat on the grass, looking at the surrounding grass and fields, he was very happy.

With such meritorious service at the age of forty, I am afraid that Man Gui will be able to leave a mark in the history books in the future.

Man Gui was happy, but at the same time someone looked embarrassed.

In the large tent thirty miles to the north of the Bayo tribe, a general who was nearly sixty years old, wearing silk and Ming army fish scale armor, sat in a high position, and below him were the heads of various ministries with ugly faces.

This general is Neikalka, the leader of the barbarians Chaohua, whose Mongolian name is Shuhak Zhuoli Ketu.

He is nominally the leader of the five tribes of Neikalka, with more than [-] troops, but after the fiasco of Zai Sai's Tieling, Neikalka's strength is less than [-].

In order to redeem the slaughter, he raised tens of thousands of cattle and horses, and also put on the condition of being attached to the later gold.

The situation had improved slightly, but now the Ming army is out of the fortress and has wiped out the Bayeux. Engdel doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.

Now everyone is very worried, because if the Bayo tribe is also wiped out, it means that Neikalkha only has more than [-] soldiers and horses.

"Sorry..."

Suddenly, the sound of war horses sounded, and everyone became tense, and Zhong Nen, who was going to negotiate the next moment, raised the curtain.

Under everyone's nervous eyes, Zhong Nen said:
"There are about five or six thousand people in the Ming army, and there are nearly a thousand corpses outside the Tucheng of the Bayo tribe, many of whom are of great gold."

"The Ming army is very elite, and they wear triple armor. If we want to fight them, I am afraid that we will lose thousands of men."

Hearing Zhong Nen's words, Taiji and Baylor's faces were cloudy, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"What is the purpose of the Ming army?" Chaohua, who was sitting in the main seat, frowned and asked.

"They want to exchange the grassland in the northern part of the Bayo tribe for the grassland in the middle and lower reaches of the Liaohe River, that is, the grassland of Zaisetaiji." Zhong Nen replied.

"This is impossible!"

Suddenly, a [-]-year-old man stood up, and he was the main character who changed the pasture, Zai Sai who was defeated by Nurhachi.

"Sit down first." Chao Hua frowned, signaling Zai Sai to sit down first.

Zai Sai was very unconvinced, but his strength was greatly weakened at the moment, and it was gracious to redeem him due to the hype, so he sat down reluctantly.

Seeing Zai Sai sitting down, Zhong Nen continued:
"The Ming army promised us that after changing the pastures, they will open an exchange market outside the customs in Tucheng of the Bayeux Department. Both Chahar and Horqin can come to the exchange market."

"Hmm..." After hearing this, Chaohua was silent for a moment.

He is estimating the gains and losses of Neikha in this matter.

First of all, it is undoubtedly the loss of the Bayeux Department and the grasslands in the middle and lower reaches of the Liaohe River, but it can be exchanged for the stationing of the Ming army on the Neikalka grassland and the safety of the market outside the customs.

It is not difficult to see that Neikalkha's interests were naturally compromised, but compared with the Ming army's garrison and the mutual market outside the customs, this is nothing.

The only thing to be sure is whether Da Jin will retaliate against them after negotiating with the Ming army.

After all, they were under pressure last year and attached themselves to Houjin, and now...

"If you want me to say, it doesn't matter if Zai Sai changes the pasture. It doesn't matter if the Bayo tribe is wiped out, they are not worthy of being Mongols!"

Suddenly, Jarut Deon Abele spoke suddenly, and such an opening broke the deadlock.

"Yeah, how can the Mongols succumb to the command of such savages?"

Several Baylors who often robbed gold, property and livestock also spoke one after another, obviously they have the pride of Mongolians.

In their view, submitting to the Ming army is not a shameful thing, after all, it is not the first time their ancestors have submitted.

But Houjin couldn't do it after surrendering, because Houjin was the Dajin Khanate established under the banner of inheriting Dajin.

The Jin Dynasty’s policy of reducing Ding to the Mongols can still be vividly remembered. Submitting to the Jurchens is undoubtedly a betrayal of the ancestors.

Therefore, under the coaxing of Ang Abele and several Baylors, most people began to submit to the Ming court.

In this way, Chaohua focused on Zai Sai.

After Zai Sai felt Chao Hua's eyes, he said unwillingly:

"If I want to change the pasture, the Ming court must compensate me with some grain, ironware, and armor. In return, I can give up the pasture, and even participate in Xiang Jianzhong's battle in the future."

Zaisai refers to Jianlu as Jianzhong, which shows his unwillingness and revenge for being defeated and imprisoned by Nurhachi.

For his request, Chaohua doesn't think it's too much. As for the latter, it is his personal behavior and has nothing to do with Neikalkha.

Therefore, Chaohua said to Zhong Nenbeile:

"You have also heard Zai Sai's request. We agree that the pasture can be replaced, including the Ming army's fortification outside the pass, but Zai Sai must be compensated."

"You tell the general of the Ming army about these conditions, and if he agrees, you can change the pasture."

"Yes..." Zhong Nen nodded upon hearing Chao Hua's words, then left the big tent and continued to run south.

Half an hour later, when he arrived at Tucheng and told Man Gui about the matter and conditions, Man Gui hesitated.

It is not up to him to give Zaisai the armor, so he asked Zhong Nen to temporarily stay in Tucheng for two days, and at the same time sent someone eight hundred li to send the news back to the Yanshan camp...
