A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 276
"Lu Xiangsheng, Wang Dou has retreated?"

The Qing generals who hastily assembled in Yuetuo's camp were inconceivable, and then they looked at each other with joy, and Yuetuo laughed even more: "Great, it seems that the Xuan army suffered heavy casualties in the battle the day before yesterday, and they were unable to defend again. Take the initiative to retreat, and my Qing soldiers will have no worries!"

Jierhalang, the flag owner of the Xianglan Banner, also smiled: "Our Qing soldiers are invincible, even Lu Xiangsheng, Wang Dou and others, who are the most capable fighters in the Ming Kingdom, can't stop our army. Who dares to fight!"

Several Mongolian bannermen of the Eight Banners shouted wildly: "Lu Xiangsheng, Wang Dou has escaped, now we go out to harvest food, and we won't be afraid of anyone following us."

Duoduo, the banner owner of the inlaid white flag, shouted: "Is this just letting them run away? We should raise our army and pursue immediately."

Dorgon said in a deep voice: "General Yangwu, banner owners, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The retreat of the Ming army must be panic-stricken. It is a good opportunity to pursue at this time."

Yue Tuo glanced at Dorgon and coughed: "The Han people have a saying in the art of war, don't chase after the poor. They have a lot of artillery and chariots in their army, and they don't know how much food and grass they have. If we chase us closely, they will defend on the spot and set up camp. , It’s another giant deer battle, we can’t afford to lose it, so it’s better to be prudent, let’s find out first.”

He asked Buyan Dai, the owner of the Eight Banners Mongolian Banner with Red Banner: "Yan Dai's son-in-law, what was the situation when the Ming army retreated?"

The soldiers and horses of Buyan Dynasty were stationed on the left bank of Haoshui. At this time, they hurriedly came to report that it was him. He said: "General Yangwu, under orders, generals, banner owners. When Lu Xiangsheng, Wang Dou and others retreated, The army is well-organized, the front army, the middle army, and the rear army are well-organized, and it doesn't look like a rout."

"The last general saw that they still had thousands of people, and there were many horses and chariots in the army. They seemed to be carrying a lot of food and grass, and the artillery was not lost. What the last general meant was not to push too hard. After tens of miles from the giant deer, They are all flat, unable to set up an ambush, so they have to attack by force. They formed a car camp in the wilderness, and it is extremely difficult to break through. When the last general and Anping Baylor were in Tongzhou, they suffered from the Wang Dou car camp and lost more than 1000 horses. If there is a strong attack, Wang Dou and others will fight for their lives, and our Qing soldiers may die or injure thousands of people. As General Yang Wu said, it is better to be cautious."

After he said this, the heads of the Mongolian Banners of the Eight Banners all showed timidity on their faces, and they all disapproved of the pursuit, as long as Lu Xiangsheng and others retreated.

Gulu Sibu said loudly: "Don't worry about it, it's good for Lu Xiangsheng, Wang Dou and others to leave. Anyway, they have suffered heavy casualties, and they will not be able to attack us in the future. Let's discuss how to harvest food and plunder more people. go back."

He even shouted: "If you are ordered by the general to pursue him, you should go after him with Prince Yu. The Chinese art of war says that small indifference can lead to big plans. I'm Duolingulusi, so I won't be so reckless."

Dorgon was furious, stood up, and shouted to Gulu Sixiabu: "Presumptuous, Duoleng Beizi, what tone are you talking to this general?"

"You are so rude to me, do you think this general dare not punish you?"

He was furious in his heart, in the past the banners were headed by him, because the flags of the two white banners were damaged a lot, the status of the Dorgon brothers in the banners has declined rapidly in the past few days.Among other things, in the past, when discussing matters, the banner owners gathered in his tent, but these two days they changed to Yue Tuo's Zhenghongqi tent.There are also those Mongolian banner owners who used to be respectful to him, but in the blink of an eye, they changed their faces.How can this not make the proud Dorgon angry?

Hearing that Guru Sibabu was so disrespectful to him, he couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and yelled violently.

Seeing Dorgon's ashen face, Gulu Sixiabu was taken aback. Dorgon was cruel and ruthless. Although his strength was damaged, he was not something that he, a small foreign Mongolian banner owner, could provoke. He couldn't help but secretly regret it .

Seeing that the faces of the two were blackened, and the banner owners came out to smooth things over, Yue Tuo persuaded: "We are a Manmeng family, and if there is a mere lack of words, don't damage the harmony between our two families."

He yelled at Gulu Sixiabu: "Duoling Beizi, you have gone too far, why don't you apologize to the general you ordered?"

Gulu Sijiabu was concerned, and quickly apologized to Dorgon. Dorgon snorted, thinking about how to deal with this Mongolian barbarian after returning to the Qing Dynasty.He wants to show the flag masters that he, Dorgon, has the ability to compete with Huang Taiji, and not everyone can put his nose on him.

Yue Tuo said to Dorgon: "As ordered by the general, let's send some troops to follow. If there is an opportunity, we will go forward and attack. If the Ming army is strong, we should not act rashly."

Dorgon said indifferently: "Forget it, as the banner owners said, it's better not to make extra troubles, in case Lu Xiangsheng and others jump over the wall in a hurry and come back."

Dorgon understood Yue Tuo's thoughts. He came to power because of the damage to the strength of the two white flags, so he naturally didn't want to see his brother make further contributions.If the pursuit is successful and his prestige is erected again, that is what Yuetuo, Jierhalang and others don't want to see.

In the past, when the whole army attacked Lu Xiangsheng, it was very difficult for Wang Dou and others. What's the use of sending some troops?Just pretending.Anyway, Lu Xiangsheng, Wang Dou and others retreated, and they were no longer a threat to their own army.Just bear with yourself and solve other problems first.

He said: "Lu Xiangsheng, Wang Dou's troops are nothing to worry about. They retreated, and our Qing army's morale was greatly boosted. Taking advantage of this vigor, let's deal with the high-rise and latent Guan Ning army."

After hearing Dorgon's words, everyone in the tent cheered up. They had lingering fears against Lu Xiangsheng and Wang Dou, but they were not afraid of facing Gao Qiqian and others.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Jize.

In the Xingyuan, Gao Qiqian was holding a book and seemed to be reading it with great interest. On both sides of his lower head, Guan Ning and other generals were chatting relaxedly.They were talking about the weather, the scenery, and the women.It's just that no one talked about the Julu battle dozens of miles away, as if the Qing soldiers and Xuan Dajun over there were forgotten.

A personal guard walked into the hall and reported to Gao Qiqian that Lu Xiangsheng was promoted to the army and Yang Tinglin asked to see him again. Gao Qiqian said indifferently: "No, just say that our family is unwell, and it is inconvenient to see guests today."

The guard went, Gao Qiqian snorted coldly: "This bearded Yang has come to pester our family time and time again, it's really annoying."

He muttered, continued to read the book, and praised: "There is only Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book. This ancient man said it well."

Tang Tong, the commander-in-chief of Miyun, made a flattering sentence at the beginning: "The senior supervisor army has profound knowledge, and the general admires it."

Gao Qiqian groaned complacently, then shook his head and began to read the book again. Tang Tong and Bai Guangen, the chief soldier of Ji Town, exchanged meaningful glances at each other.

Of course they heard what the potential soldiers said just now, but on the surface, they pretended not to hear it.From the eighth day of the lunar new year, Yang Tinglin rushed to ask for help after receiving Lu Xiangsheng's order. He also brought Lu Xiangsheng's autographed letter, which he threw aside without even reading it.

Of course Tang Tong and others knew about Julu's military situation, but facing Yang Tinglin's anger, Gao Qiqian just laughed.Lord Supervising Army is unwilling to send troops, and the chief soldiers of his subordinates are of course even more unwilling to move.No kidding, there are at least [-] to [-] Qing soldiers on Julu's side, who would dare to go there.

Yang Tinglin couldn't persuade Gao Qiqian, so he made plans on Guan Ning's generals, and his lips were worn all day long, just wanting to persuade some people to send troops to rescue.Yang Tinglin said it well, using the Xuan Da army as a mill to grind away the blood of the slaves who attacked the camp, they took advantage of the situation to launch a blow, and they could wipe out the Qing soldiers who invaded the bandit, and made an indelible contribution.

Tang Tong and the others were just listening, they had already seen through Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang's thoughts, how dare they risk the disgrace of the world?Besides, not to mention the strength of the army, they are afraid.Even as Yang Tinglin said, the Qing soldiers who were able to wipe out the invaders with one blow, they also had their own thoughts.

In fact, Wang Tingchen, the former general of the Tunwei Army, and Cao Bianjiao, the general of Yutian, proposed to send troops, but they were blocked by Ma Ke, the general of Shanhaiguan: "... Hehe, two military families, if the slaves are wiped out, then we Is there still a need for the Guanning army to exist in Liaodong? At that time, will the imperial court allocate the annual money, grain and rice in Liaodong? If the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, the bird will be hidden. I am afraid that the next thing is that the imperial court will take us Shall I have a knife?..."

Marco's words are of course not so direct, but that's what it means.After hearing Ma Ke's words, Wang Tingchen and Cao Bianjiao hesitated. No matter how loyal they are, they must also consider the interests of the entire Liaodong Jiangmen Group.

Yes, right now there is a chance to wipe out all the Qing soldiers who entered the customs, but what will they do after they are wiped out?Is it necessary for their Liaoxi warlord group to survive in Daming in the future?How will they ask the central government for money and food in the future?Is it possible for the huge amount of silver and grain to come into his hands?What's more, the other generals don't send troops, relying on their own army, the tens of thousands of Qing soldiers on Julu's side, can they eat it, so the two hesitated.

Standing high and diving, Guan Ning's army was happy and motionless, thus forming a strange sit-in war.Tens of miles away, Lu Xiangsheng and Wang Dou's Xuanda army fought bloody battles with the Qing soldiers, while the tens of thousands of Guanning's army watched the show from the sidelines.This is the style of the Ming Dynasty's warlord forces, and in the future, the Ming Dynasty will form one after another warlord forces.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, these groups of lost literati and warriors were just like bastards against mung beans, the elder brother does not laugh at the second elder brother.They are like wolves and tigers to the common people, greedy for life and afraid of death when facing the Qing army, and ignore the danger of their friendly troops.Helplessly dragging Daming to the brink of destruction, just to protect his own small self-interest.

Today is a routine meeting. After reading the book for a while, Gao Qiqian was about to let the generals disperse when suddenly a sentry sentry rushed in like a mourning concubine, and howled: "Supervisor, Superviser, something is not right , something bad..."

Gao Qiqian was very dissatisfied, and said sharply: "What's the rush?"

That night did not accept: "Lu Duchen... Lu Duchen died in battle, Julu's Xuanda army has already broken out to the west."

Like a loud thunder, everyone in the hall started discussing with a "boom".

Gao Qiqian blinked and blinked: "Lu Xiangsheng is dead?"

He snapped, "Where did you hear that?"

That night, he said: "The little one was on the lookout around Julu. On the way, he met Wang Doubu of the Xuanda Army who broke out from the siege. Wen Daxing, the hundred commander of his army, told the villain himself."

Yebushou said: "He also said that not only Duchen Lu died, but the Xuan army also suffered heavy losses and was unable to fight any more. After they broke through the siege, most of the slaves might come to attack Jize, so the supervising army should prepare early. "

Gao Qiqian was dumbfounded, and there was no sound in the hall.

At this moment, suddenly a few bloody Yebushou rushed into the hall, and said repeatedly: "Supervisor, tens of thousands of slaves are coming to Jize, and they will arrive today."

Gao Qiqian couldn't hold back the fear in his heart any longer, and fell heavily on his seat.

Cao Bianjiao, the chief soldier of Yutian, hurriedly said: "Supervisor, most of the slaves and thieves are coming, we must stick to the camp and take strict precautions."

Gao Qiqian stood up abruptly, and he seemed to use all his strength to scream, "Go, go, go!"

……

Gao Qiqian rushed out of the city first, and tens of thousands of Guanning's army hurriedly pulled out of the camp and fled in a hurry.
