Han ride

Chapter 47
"Don't talk about it, no matter what, Li Xin is a threat after all. This man is extraordinary in marching and fighting. If he is just a fierce general, he will be fine, but this man is insidious and cunning. If this man is allowed to develop, this big man in our army will be defeated." Let Li Xin destroy my foundation of the Qing Dynasty alone." Dorgon said dissatisfiedly: "Look, how long has it been now? Half a month has not yet passed." Now, Li Xin’s army has increased by nearly a thousand out of thin air, so how can we fight this battle?” No matter what the reason is, Li Xin’s ability is known to Dorgon, and it is indeed as they said, Li Xin Xin's strength has increased too much. Although Dorgon doesn't like to obey Huang Taiji's orders, he can only let go of all this because of the relationship with the Qing Dynasty.

"Li Xin, can you really be fooled?" Duoduo looked at the western mountain in the distance, the huge western mountain, the complex terrain, and Jiannu going up and down. Although he knew that Li Xin must be hiding in the western mountain, it is a pity that there are now tens of thousands of troops To besiege Dalinghe City and guard against Jinzhou's reinforcements, there are really no more troops to search Xishan. If a small army goes there, it will be eaten up by Li Xin.What's more, Jianu is good at field battles. If he can annihilate Li Xin on the plains, he will never defeat him in the mountains.

Li Xin in the valley didn't know that Huang Taiji had put a lot of effort into dealing with him. He was watching the soldiers training in the valley.

"My lord, we now have more than 1000 people here, and there are as many as 800 people who can fight, which is really a huge number!" Ju Tu came up and laughed loudly.

The valley at this moment is no longer what it used to be. It is like a huge barracks. The entire mountain has been hollowed out. There are grain and grass stored in it, and hundreds of people are training intensely. In addition to the old and the weak, there were hundreds of injured soldiers, and the rest were young and strong. Li Xin organized those who could ride horses into the cavalry, and those who could not ride horses were regarded as infantry and handed over to Jiang Yi for training.Because they don't have any armor, these people are wearing armor taken from Jiannu, and some are Mongolian leather armor. It's just that Li Xin asked them to shave off the pigtails on their heads and become a bald man. , These people have already shaved their hair at Jianu's place, and it is no problem to shave a bald head at this time, so in the valley, I saw a group of bald heads, wearing various clothes, training in a strict manner.Li Xin originally planned to shave himself bald, but unfortunately, at this time, shaving his head is tantamount to betraying his ancestors, even Li Xin has no choice.

"We are now caught off guard by a Jiannu. In a short period of time, we have obtained such a source of troops and food. Huang Taiji is a generation of heroes. He knows and thinks more than us. Compared with him, we are still worse. It's far away!" Li Xin shook his head, he was not as relaxed as Goutu and others imagined, Houjin is a huge whole, can leap over the Central Plains, apart from the decay of the Ming Dynasty, its own strength is also extremely powerful of.Li Xin naturally had to be careful.

"My lord, I'm really lucky to have such an idea." At this time, Shi Yuan walked up with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, although we have some strength now, we can only barely struggle. If it cannot be operated carefully, it will be extremely easy to destroy."

"That's right." Li Xin nodded, and said, "The way of food is related to the lifeblood of the army. If you can't wait carefully, the army will be defeated. Huang Taiji is also a man who knows how to fight. How can he not understand this? So the rest want to seize it." The opponent's food and grass may not be so simple."

"So what?" Yang Xiong sneered, "Would he still send a large group of people to protect the Liang Dao?"

"That's absolutely not. If he sends a large group of troops to protect the grain road, it means that he has to draw troops from Daling River City? Not only will he besiege Daling River City now, but more importantly, he will also Send troops to deal with Jinzhou's reinforcements, so there is no extra troops to deal with the lord." Shi Yuan shook his head and said: "If there is no accident, he will definitely lure the snake out of the hole and use elite soldiers to pretend to be food until our army robs the food. At that time, the other party took the opportunity to attack our army. Of course, if we were more cautious, there was still a large army behind the food and grass. Let this elite army drag our army back, and the army behind us took the opportunity to attack and severely damaged our army in one fell swoop. Haha! Those slaves probably can only think of this way."

"Then what should we do?" Yang Xiong asked quickly.

"Then use the plan and destroy these elite soldiers." Li Xin laughed, with a gloomy look on his face, and said: "If these people want to leave, they must go to the Silver Wolf Valley. This is why we want to destroy them." The place."

"Since the lord has already made a plan, the student will not say anything." Shi Yuan said with a straight smile.

"The sky is dry, so it's a good time to set fire!" Li Xin said to Yang Xiong with a smile on his face: "Didn't you seize some gunpowder last time? Take all the gunpowder with you, and I will show you this in a few days." What the fireworks look like."

"That's a good thing." He Bin's eyes lit up, and he said, "Brother Li, if Huang Taiji knows that you used their gunpowder to burn the opponent's elite soldiers, how happy will it be?"

"I don't know about that." Li Xin shook his head and said, "I'm most worried about Dalinghe City. It's been ten days and Jinzhou City is so close. Why didn't reinforcements come?"

"Even if the reinforcements come now, it's useless." Shi Yuanzhi said disdainfully: "Ten days have passed, how much food and grass are there in Dalinghe City now? Maybe they have killed horses to satisfy their hunger at this moment. Sun Chengzong is known as full The most knowledgeable man among the civil and military forces of the court has made such a joke now. Letting Zu Dashou go to Dalinghe City to build a city was a mistake in itself, not to mention that his information was inaccurate when the slaves came. , or asked Daling River City to prepare food and grass, or sent reinforcements, none of which he did. When Daling River City was besieged, he still did not move, and sat and watched Zu Dashou and his more than ten thousand soldiers and horses being captured. Stuck in the Daling River, with no food and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, and yet he is lying high in Jinzhou City, such a supervisor should be the target of being killed, and the imperial court has such a supervisor, no wonder the situation in Liaodong is so corrupt."

"Sun Chengzong probably has his embarrassment." Li Xin shook his head after thinking about it. Sun Chengzong is still very famous in history. People will make mistakes sometimes, at least Sun Chengzong made a mistake in the matter of Dalinghe.Coupled with the fact that civil servants are leading the army, the deterrent to generals is far less than in peacetime.If he wanted to rescue Dalinghe City, he probably had no soldiers in his hands, and there were still people in the court restricting him.

"No matter what, Dalinghe City is probably not far away from falling at this moment. Zu Dashou must be regretful at this time, who told him not to break through with the Lord." Yang Xiong said proudly.Originally, he still had some doubts about Li Xin giving up Dalinghe City, but at this moment, he was very glad that he had listened to Li Xin's words.

"Brother Li, will Dalinghe City really fall?" He Bin asked worriedly.

"No. With us here, Dalinghe City will not fall." Li Xin knew what He Bin was worried about, and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't talk about the position of Guan Ning's iron cavalry in the court's heart, just say that the ancestor Dashou is also a figure who has led the army for many years. Even if Dalinghe City is not protected, he will lead Guanning cavalry to break out. Don't look at the siege of Dalinghe City by Jiannu now, but as long as Guanning cavalry wants to break through, It's really not easy for this army of founding slaves to stop Guan Ning's iron cavalry."

"That's the best." He Bin nodded.Only Shi Yuanzhi on one side opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything in the end.What Li Xin said is correct, but it is a pity that if Zu Dashou broke through, he would have already broken through. At this time, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the strategy of cooperating from the inside to the outside has long since failed. If he does not break through at this time It can only show that Zu Dashou still has illusions in his heart, and he doesn't want to lose his Guan Ning cavalry, but he doesn't know that the longer this kind of thing drags on, it will be even more detrimental to Guan Ning cavalry. It's a matter of life and death.

"My lord, Gao Meng is here, maybe another Jiannu's grain cart is coming." Yang Xiong pointed to the distance and said.In the distance, Gao Meng was dressed in black armor and came riding a tall horse. After a few fights, Gao Meng, who was originally very brave, was now like a killing god, with an extremely fierce aura, and ordinary people dared not approach him at all.

"I'm afraid I will do it myself during this time." Li Xin thought for a while, and said, "Scatter all the gunpowder in the Silver Wolf Valley. I have a feeling that Huang Taiji is about to take the bait."

"Hey, it's a pity that these people can't be used now. Otherwise, our [-] cavalry under the leadership of the lord, where there is no need to fight the autumn wind like this, maybe we can break through the slave camp and capture Huang Taiji alive." A cold light flashed across Jutu's eyes.

"Hehe, it's so easy to defeat Huang Taiji." Li Xin shook his head and said, "Even if I have an army of tens of thousands, I still dare not easily challenge Huang Taiji, let alone our current situation. There are only a few hundred people on horseback. If it comes to fighting, the number is even smaller, and if it is not a last resort, I will not let these people go to the battlefield right now."

Shi Yuanzhi also nodded. Although this army has achieved good results, it may be a strong army in the eyes of outsiders, but insiders like Shi Yuanzhi understand that such an army can achieve The reason for this result is very simple, that is Li Xin's bravery.Just like Xiang Yu, the overlord back then, who dared to attack the Qin army with thousands of horses, and finally won the battle, not because of how strong the Chu army was, but because of Xiang Yu's bravery, which made the three armies escape.The same is true of Li Xin now. His bravery almost overwhelms the shortcomings of these hundreds of people, and that's why he achieved such a result. In the battle of a large army, individual bravery is negligible, and the focus can only be on the battle formation Prestige, and this is exactly what Li Xin and his army lack.Although Jiannu is hateful, it has to be admitted that Jiannu has grown up in the war with the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years. Both Nurhachi and Huang Taiji are the masters of a generation of Ming. They learned how to fight from the Ming army. , how to separate, the army has grown from a nomad at the beginning to the current regular army, and its strength is far above Li Xin, so until now, Li Xin can only play side-by-side. To put it bluntly, Li Xin is now a Rogue.In other words, it was just a special rogue.Letting such an army fight against Jiannu would surely lead to death.

"Sir, wait here for a while, Li Xin will come when he goes out." Li Xinfei got on his horse, led Gao Meng and others out of the valley, and disappeared into the valley in an instant.

Two hours later, a group of people and horses quietly appeared on top of a small hill. In the distance, a group of people and horses could be seen coming slowly from the foot of the mountain, playing the banner of Jiannu.Around the dozens of carriages in the middle, there are hundreds of soldiers wearing white armor, carefully guarding around the carriages.The horsewhip in his hand beat the Han people driving the carriage from time to time, making strange noises from his mouth. It looked like a Jiannu grain transport team.

"My lord, the number of slaves has increased a lot this time, and the number of slaves has increased a lot. What's more, they used Zhengbai flags to escort the food and grass. Hehe, even if Huang Taiji goes out in person, he won't be able to escape the master's hand this time." heart." Yang Xiong said triumphantly: "My lord, let's kill now! I can't wait now, hehe, since I followed the lord, it's a joy to kill."

"Wait. Why do I feel that something is wrong." Li Xin waved his hand and said, "We often intercept Houjin's food and grass these days. Huang Taiji is a powerful person. In order to protect his grain road, he will definitely try to deal with me. Therefore, if you want to rob grain and grass now, you must be careful. You must know that we have few people, and if we lose one, we will lose one. It is the most appropriate and the most cost-effective way to obtain the maximum benefit for the greatest loss. Hey, it’s a pity that there is no telescope, otherwise we can see more clearly.”

"My lord, what is a telescope?" Jutu's eyes froze, and he asked curiously, "Can you see far?"

"That's right, look for a chance to get one later." Li Xin's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said to Jutu: "Gutu, you have good eyesight, can you see the situation of that food team clearly?"

"It's too far away for my lord, and my subordinates can't do anything about it." Jutu glanced at the distance, and finally shook his head and said.

"It's a bit far away." Li Xin nodded, and then said to Yang Xiong on the side: "Go behind them and show me whether the wheels are deep? It's something our ancestors got tired of playing with." The disdain on Li Xin's face grew stronger.
