Han ride

Chapter 376
"Unfortunately, Li Xin can be regarded as a powerful character, and the generals around him are not so good." Fan Wencheng pointed to the first gate of Xifeng Pass behind him, and said, "If I were to die, I wouldn't be able to Retreating to the second pass, it seems that the second pass can withstand a period of time, but in fact, the victory has been given to us. No matter how many troops Li Xin has, he cannot capture the first pass in a short period of time One pass, but we can quickly capture the second pass, and even the last pass.”

"Although the Beibei Army is powerful, it is a pity that it lacks foundation. A powerful dynasty cannot be supported by only one person." Huang Taiji nodded, and finally said: "Hurry up and attack! In fact, this time Li The letter didn't take advantage, and we didn't take advantage of it." Fan Wencheng nodded, and this time the army fell into Li Xin's calculations.Although in the early stage of the war, Huang Taiji captured many gold and silver treasures and the people of the Ming Dynasty, but until now, all the people have used them to lure the enemy, but because of the inconvenience of carrying the gold and silver treasures, not many people brought them into Xifengkou. There are even many gold and silver treasures that have fallen into Li Xin's hands.

Of course, Li Xin didn't take advantage of it, and the army in front of him was completely killed or injured.According to Jiannu's information, Li Xin has an Imperial Guard next to him, and they all play the role of one as ten. Killing these people is enough for Li Xinxin to suffer for a while. What's more, there is also a general here. It was Li Xin's general Jutu.The one who flaunted his power under the city of Zunhua back then.This soldier can be recruited at any time, but it is very difficult for the general.Especially the general who helped Li Xin train the eagle shooters was even more difficult.

"Your Majesty, Li Xin's army has reached the entrance of Xifeng." At this time, Duoduo broke in and said loudly.

"Then attack!" After hearing this, Huang Taiji's body trembled for a while, and a trace of despair fell into his eyes.He knew that since Li Xin had already led the army, it meant that Yue Tuo might not have a chance to come to Xifengkou to fight with him.

"It's a loss this time." Fan Wencheng sighed softly.Although Li Xin lost a general, Jian Nu himself also lost a Baylor.Even Yue Tuozhi's talent is far above Jutu.

"Duoduo, lead the army to resist Li Xin." Huang Taiji's voice was extremely flat, as if he didn't take Yue Tuo's death seriously.As an emperor, one should put the country first.Although a Yuetuo is very important, for Huang Taiji, the most important thing is his own life, and the tens of thousands of troops behind him.Only by bringing all these people back to Shengjing can he be qualified to fight Dorgon.

"Yes." Duo Duo looked deeply at Huang Taiji, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, because news of Dorgon was circulating in the army recently.It made him very uneasy.I have been with Dorgon for a long time, and I also faintly know Dorgon's ambition.In addition, Dorgon went back first again this time, leaving no news at all, and Duo Duo was a little scared.

Right now Huang Taiji didn't do anything to him, it was because he controlled the two flags of Zhengbai and Xiangbai, and now he had to deal with the common enemy Li Xin, so that he could stand in front of him easily, but once he broke through Xifengkou, that is an internal problem.God knows how Huang Taiji will treat him.

"There are so many Jian slaves!" Outside Xifeng's mouth, Gao Meng brandished a big knife and roared loudly while chopping.The voice was full of joy.

On the other hand, Li Xin's expression was gloomy. As time went by, he could hear Xifeng's shouts of killing getting lower and lower. Fewer and fewer.The only worry now is whether Jutu can receive his order to withdraw from Xifengkou.

"My lord, look, Jianu is coming to kill another horse." The gate of the city opened wide, and another group of people rushed out, all covered in white armor, but they were the ones holding the white flag.

"Then kill." Li Xin's eyes gleamed with cold light, urging Wuyun Treading Snow to rush out, Fang Tian's painting halberd in his hand flickered with cold light, turning into rays of light, taking away the lives of one person after another.

"It's Li Xin, it's Li Xin, kill Li Xin." Doduo, who was commanding the army to attack, saw Li Xin who was in the chaos, and the panic flashed across his face. His first reaction was to hide among the people, but He commanded the soldiers around him to kill Li Xin.I can't wait to kill Li Xin here.

"It's Dodo." Li Xin looked over, and saw someone talking loudly in the distance, it was Dodo, and as soon as he moved, he killed Dodo.

"Enclose, enclose." Duoduo saw Li Xin rushing over, and quickly ordered his soldiers to surround Li Xin. Unfortunately, Li Xin was extremely brave, and he waved the Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand, covering himself impenetrably. , Those soldiers can't do anything to Li Xin at all.Fight together.

It's just that there are more and more soldiers building slaves. Huang Taiji is to ensure that the army attacks Xifengkou, and constantly adds soldiers to Duoduo to resist Li Xin's crazy attack.Whether it is him or Duoduo, everyone knows that this matter is related to the life and safety of Jiannu.Only by breaking through the entrance of Xifeng can the last foundation of Jiannu be preserved.Although they are constantly adding firewood, they keep Li Xin out, which is success.

"Master." At this time, there was a shout of killing from a distance, and a group of cavalry was killed in the distance. A general in bright red armor led a group to kill, it was not Zhao Guang or someone.

"Boom!" There was a loud cheer, and the Jiannu soldiers on the city wall beat their war drums and blew their conch shells. There was a burst of cheers, and all the Jiannu soldiers defending the city wall waved their weapons.

"General Jutu, hey!" Shi Yuanzhi, who was watching the battle, suddenly changed his complexion and sighed deeply. He knew that Jiannu's ability to make such a sound could only result in one result, that is, guarding Xi'an. Jutu at Fengkou was killed in battle.

"Jutu." Li Xin, who was fighting, seemed to be aware of what happened in the pass, and suddenly roared, and swung Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, instantly beheading the three Jian slaves who were besieging him.

"Quick, quickly retreat to the pass." Duoduo saw clearly in the distance, his complexion changed drastically, and he quickly commanded the army to retreat towards the pass. Since Xifengkou has been successfully captured, it is undoubtedly a challenge to resist Li Xin at this time. Wrong decision, Duduo's first thing is to command the army to retreat to the pass, and then, like Li Xin, guard the pass to resist Jiannu.

"Attack, keep attacking." Li Xin's eyes were red, and his face was full of madness. Fang Tian's painted halberd became even more powerful, leading the army to charge all the way. Poor Duoduo was too afraid of Li Xin at this time, how could he resist Li Xin? After retreating in, Li Xin didn't even manage the first gate of Xifengkou, so Li Xin finally managed to break into Xifengkou.

Before Huang Taiji, who was on the second pass, had time to enjoy the excitement of winning the pass, he saw Li Xin leading the army charging in, Duoduo retreated repeatedly, and the rest of the army also retreated one after another, but there were still many behind. The Ming army also rushed in.

"This Li Xin is really brave, he was able to enter the first pass." Huang Taiji's expression changed, if this continues, Li Xin might not be able to continue to enter the second pass. The Jiannu army just went through a fight, Gou Tuo's death did not surrender, causing Huang Taiji to lose a lot of soldiers and horses. Although there are a large number of soldiers, it may be impossible to resist soldiers like Li Xin or the Ming army that followed.

"How many soldiers and horses of Duoduo have not retreated to the second pass." Huang Taiji asked nervously.

"How can we tell the difference here? I'm afraid there are still several thousand people!" Fan Wencheng glanced at the city, and saw a black army and a white army fighting.

"Sir, Duoduo may not be able to withstand Li Xin's attack, and there may be Hong Chengchou's soldiers behind us, we can't wait here for too long." Huang Taiji suddenly said softly: "Sir, you saw so much food and grass Yet?"

"What does the emperor mean?" Fan Wencheng's complexion changed drastically after hearing this, and he couldn't help looking at Huang Taiji, his eyes showed shock.

"Is there any other way to get rid of this right now?" Huang Taiji said with a look of pain on his face, "Li Xin's army will arrive soon, if we can't stop Li Xin for a while, even if we capture Xifengkou, we will arrive It will be broken by him in time. Right now, the army has been fighting all night and is already extremely exhausted. If Li Xin and the Ming army continue to pursue, we will suffer more casualties. Only by burning Xifengkou, at least we can resist Li Xin for a day. If It would be even better if Li Xin could have some friction with the imperial army at this time, we must know that in Zunhua City, we have left a lot of food, grass, gold and silver treasures!"

After hearing this, Fan Wencheng remained silent.What Huang Taiji said is right, even if Xifengkou is captured, Li Xin will continue to pursue, Jiannu will suffer a lot of casualties, but Huang Taiji said one thing less, that is, Li Xin's troops are also exhausted now. Where can the pursuit go?Maybe he still has other thoughts, but he dare not say these words.The so-called emperor's heart is probably like this!

After all, at this time, no one knows what is going on with Dorgon and what the chaos will be like in Shengjing City. After a battle, the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners suffered heavy casualties. The Zhengbai and Xiangbai flags really wanted to do something, and Huang Taiji had no choice. If he could use this method to weaken the two white flags, he might be able to force the Dorgon brothers to dare not do anything.

"Haoge, go and get all the food and grass at Xifengkou, put them in the second pass, and order Duoduo to retreat quickly." Huang Taiji waved his hand.He wants to stand at the commanding heights of interests, even if Duoduo wants to say something, he can't blame him.

Under the protection of many imperial guards, Li Xin finally entered the first gate of Xifengkou. However, he did not look happy. He will hand over this Xifeng Pass, and the second pass, which is tens of feet away, is like a mountain peak, blocking Li Xin's front, preventing Li Xin from stepping in.

He looked at the troops fighting in the distance, and there was a glimmer of hope on his face, because he found that the gate of the second gate had not been closed. This was good news for Li Xin, because he could take the opportunity to enter the second gate. pass.

Shi Yuanzhi, who was behind him, obviously also noticed this matter, his eyes lit up, and he was about to speak, when suddenly countless hay fell from the sky.The two monarchs and ministers glanced at each other, because these hay were exactly what Li Xin put in Xifeng's mouth for his war horses to eat.He didn't understand what Jiannu was doing when he threw the hay down at this moment.

"Not good. This is going to set fire to Xifeng's mouth." Shi Yuanzhi suddenly said in horror: "This Huang Taiji is really too vicious. Not only does he want to burn our army to death, but he also wants to kill all the soldiers and horses under his command." To be burned."

"Quick! Retreat!" Li Xin squinted his eyes, looked up, and saw torches falling along with the dry grass. Countless torches fell, and the dry grass was quickly ignited. Flames flew across, dyeing half of the sky red.

"Ah!" There were screams, and Li Xin's army was better. These people were the imperial guards, the elite of the elite, and with Li Xin's order, they withdrew from the battle, even if it was a small number. Those who did not evacuate, the fire fell, and they retreated in a hurry. There may be some wounds on their bodies, but it is better than being burned to death by the fire.

But those slave soldiers with two white flags under the city were unlucky.The number of these people was large, and when the fire fell, they ran for their lives desperately. The second gate of Xifengkou, the city gate was narrow, how could so many soldiers escape in, countless people trampled on each other, and even more so were those who were burned. Quite a few, in order to seize the way to survive, some generals even drew out their precious swords and beheaded everything in front of them, even if they were surrounded by their own robes.

"Fire the arrows." Li Xin, who was watching many Jiannu struggling in the fire, suddenly said two words coldly, and there was a burst of toothache from behind, and the soldiers behind him began to draw their bows and set their arrows. In the last scream, countless sharp arrows fell into the flames, and there were screams again.At this time, it is very difficult for these soldiers to save their lives. How can they have the mind to avoid the bows and arrows?
Duoduo, who was slowly closing the city gate of Xifengkou, had red eyes showing resentment. He hated himself and Huang Taiji. If he hadn't looked forward and backward, the two white flags would not have become what they are now. Similarly, he also hated Huang Taiji. Very Huang Taiji, he knew that Huang Taiji's move was not helpless, but intentional, just to weaken the strength of him and the Dorgon brothers.Even if the two white flags were all dead, I am afraid that Huang Taiji would not have any expression.It's just that he never thought that these soldiers are also soldiers and horses under his command of Huang Taiji?This time, he went south to the Central Plains under the order of Huang Taiji. At this time, not only did he not get any benefits, he was even burned to death by his master.What an anecdote.

"Haha, I didn't expect Li Xin to suffer a disadvantage. It's really fun!" Hong Chengchou, who was rushing over, suddenly pointed to the distant flame and laughed.

Lu Xiangsheng also looked over, couldn't help but said loudly: "Xifeng's mouth is on fire, what's going on?"

"What else can I do? Li Xin underestimated Jianu, and there were not enough troops left behind at Xifengkou, so he let Jiannu take advantage of the enemy's main force to leave the pass, but he led an army of nearly [-] to attack Xifengkou successfully. " Hong Chengchou sneered, "I wanted to come to Huang Taiji, but I was afraid that Li Xin would hunt him down, so I simply set fire to Xifeng's mouth. I heard that Li Xin seized a lot of food and grass, and this time it was cheap to build slaves. Such a big flame may have been caused by Jiannu taking the hay and burning it clean. This time Li Xin will suffer a lot of losses."

"I didn't expect that the majestic Marquis of Zhengbei would also suffer defeat. It seems that he has less credit for his invincible achievements." It was Gao Qiqian who spoke.He was purely complacent, he was jealous when Li Xin was happy, and happy when Li Xin suffered a loss, a typical villain.

"After all, it is for helping us. If it is because of helping us, the number of soldiers and horses at Xifengkou will not decrease. There are tens of thousands of troops stationed at Xifengkou. No matter how many soldiers and horses there are, Jiannu will not be able to attack." Lu Xiangsheng looked at Gao Qiqian slightly dissatisfied.

Everyone's complexion changed, and everyone was silent, even Hong Chengchou didn't speak.Li Xin's soldiers and horses were all dispatched, resulting in the lack of defensive troops at Xifengkou. In the final analysis, it was caused by Li Xin's need to rescue the imperial army.It can be said that the fall of Xifengkou has a lot to do with the imperial army.

"Hey, this matter is also because of us waiting, what Master Lu said is very true." Qin Liangyu shook his head and said: "If it were not for the soldiers and horses of Zheng Beihou to come to the rescue, I am afraid that all of our 20 troops will be lost under the city of Zunhua. However, thinking about it, Jian Nu will not wait here for a long time, after all, I am waiting for the army here, and food and grass are also a problem."

"The fire is raging, and I don't know how long it will take for the entire Xifengkou to burn. It is enough for Jiannu to retreat slowly, and it will be very difficult for Zheng Beihou to chase after him." Hong Chengchou looked at Xifengkou in the distance and shook his head. He shook his head and said.

After listening to the three people's description, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Gao Qiqian's eyes, but he didn't say anything, but the moment he lowered his head, there was a hint of viciousness.There is no way, this guy is a eunuch, a guy who will take revenge.If it was in the past, the high potential would probably have occurred long ago.But there is no way now, none of these three people can be framed by Gao Qiqian at this stage.All three hold military power.But no matter what, the high dive will not let these three people go.

Suddenly he seemed to think of something, and said with a sinister smile: "Our family sees that the situation of Zheng Beihou is just like that of Jiannu back then. There are obstacles in the way, and there is no way back! Tens of thousands of troops are blocked at Xifengkou and Zunhua Between!"

After hearing this, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng looked at each other, and a trace of horror flashed across their eyes.These two people are not fools, they immediately understood the meaning of Gao Qiqian's words.It has to be said that the eunuch Gao Qiqian is not good at anything else, he is still very good at this kind of conspiracy.
