Chapter 9 The Battle of Qingcheng (4)
Chapter 9 Battle of Qingcheng (IV)
Twenty days passed in a blink of an eye, and it passed quickly. According to Lin Danhan's idea, the Guanning Iron Cavalry and his Mongolian Iron Cavalry each had a team of thousands of people to participate in the competition, because this was a life-and-death battle. If two thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry were allowed to participate, if they lost, there would be too much casualties and the Ming Dynasty would not be able to bear the face.
However, Wu Sangui received Zhu Yinglong's secret order and rejected Lin Danhan's proposal. According to the previous rules, it was still two thousand to two thousand.
Taisong also expressed confusion about Wu Sangui's determination, but she didn't understand military affairs very well, so Wu Sangui also found a reason to make excuses.
Unexpectedly, Lin Danhan sent out the commander of the thousand-man commander, Na Ge. He originally led a thousand-man team, but now due to the competition rules, Lin Danhan naturally added another thousand-man team to him, Na Ge is the chief and Yegu is the deputy.
The competition site was selected on a 300-mile hill plain north of Daqing Mountain. All the herdsmen there received notice to evacuate.
The competition time is half a month. After half a month, the number of people who will be repaid will be the final winner.
During the competition, both sides can use various means to kill each other's live power as the primary purpose, and they can surrender, but the surrender is not included in the last survivor.
"Major General, why do we have to participate? In fact, Lin Danhan suggested that each side would produce 1,000 people, wouldn't this be better?" Yan Peiwei asked Wu Sangui in confusion.
Wu Sangui smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother Yan, this competition has actually begun, but you haven't noticed it yet."
"It's already started?" Yan Peiwei didn't have Wu Sangui's flexible and clever brain, so he naturally couldn't understand it.
"You are different from that Yegu, I, Brother Yan, and you are close partners. Both of them are the young generals Lin Danhan trusts the most. Yegu is arrogant, but he is not good at communicating. If these two people are put together, if the arrogant Yegu is the leader, it may be a bit tricky, but Lin Danhan chose the taciturn Brother, who is the leader. What will happen between the two of them next?" Wu Sangui smiled cunningly.
"The generals are not in harmony, this is a big taboo for soldiers. Lao Yan, I understand. No wonder the Major General insists on following the previous rules. So that's how it is!" Yan Peiwei exclaimed, "But how could the Major General know that Lin Danhan would choose this Yegu as his brother's deputy?"
"Well, hehe, I guessed it too. Anyway, this brother is taciturn. Although he is Lin Danhan's adopted son, there are not many people who like him in the Mongolian army, especially many young generals are not convinced. No matter who chooses to be his deputy, it is impossible to cooperate so intimately. As long as we create a little conflict, it would be strange if we don't want to make a fuss!" Wu Sangui said confidently.
"In this way, our army's chances of victory will be greatly enhanced!" Yan Peiwei said excitedly.
"No, we don't want to beat each other." Wu Sangui shook his head and said.
"Why?" Yan Peiwei said inexplicably.
"My purpose is to let them divide their troops. If they are together, our army will have to fight them head-on. This is not what I want." Wu Sangui replied.
Yan Peiwei always felt that Wu Sangui seemed to be hiding something from him, and this feeling became stronger and stronger. However, Wu Sangui is now the chief general and has to listen to all military actions. I believe he will not do anything to betray his brothers or the court.
Both armies entered the predetermined location one day later, which was a precedent for actual combat training. Although they belonged to two different camps, this kind of friendly confrontation between the two armies that did not care about life and death actually happened like this.
At this time, in the Guihua City at the foot of the mountain south of Daqing Mountain, the current leader Bai Yantaiki, who had been built in less than a hundred years, was fighting against heaven and man in his mind.
He no longer had the intention to get in touch with the long battle between the grassland, which was only more than 300 miles away from him, because he received news that Erlinchen, the Mongol of Ordos, had contacted the Ming court many times, and the two sides seemed to have reached some kind of agreement. Recently, the secret spies lurking in the Mongolian tribe of Ordos, Erlinchen had quietly pulled up an army of 30,000 to attack him and seize his own land and naturalized city.
Elinchen's 30,000 army was not scary. Even if he devoted his entire clan's strength, he might not be able to do anything to him. The key is the attitude of the Ming court. It is not that he did not know that due to his intimate relationship with the Later Jin Dynasty, although the Ming court tolerated his existence in Guihua City, he was always lukewarm with him, and the throne of King Shunyi was also sank to the sea.
Maybe the Ming court had long wanted to destroy itself and let E Linchen take over it. Now it seems that his concern has gradually become a reality.
What to do? Ask Hou Jin for help. Yuanshui cannot save the near fire, but at present, Bai Yan has no better way.
When the news of Bai Yantaiji's request for help was delivered to the monarch and ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty as quickly as possible, the monarch and ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty were shocked. Even if they sent troops immediately, they might not have saved Bai Yan.
After the discussion between the emperor and his ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty, allies who asked for help could not be saved by death, otherwise would anyone defect to them in the future?
So Huang Taiji ordered Dorgon to be the commander, leading generals such as Oboi, and the 5,000-Eight Banner Iron Cavalry Starry Night from Shengjing to rescue Bai Yantaiji.
At this moment, the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Chahar Mongolian Iron Cavalry have been fighting for nearly five days, and fighting guerrillas on the vast Mongolian grasslands is indeed a very exciting thing.
Na Ge and Yegu were indeed divided, but it was not because of disagreement. Na Ge did have some talent. He wanted to use Yegu's thousand-man team as bait to lure Wu Sangui to ambush Yegu, and then a mantis stalks the cicada oriole behind him. However, Wu Sangui had already had a solution to it, which was to let Yegu follow his butt not be fooled, and he took his brother Yegu for nearly seven or eight days to make him go around. Even the brother who had always been calm could not help but feel a little restless.
"These southerners are so shameless!" Yegu angrily smashed the wine glass in his hand. After seven or eight days, he was like a dog, led by someone. The more cowardly he was, the more cowardly he was.
"Yegu, what do you want to do? The horsepower of the southerners is not worse than that of us. If they want them to avoid fighting like this, we really have no way to deal with them." The brother said coldly.
"The Khan ordered us to win. If so, how could we win?" Yegu was not an irrational general, otherwise Lin Danhan would not have been valued by Lin Danhan.
"If it ends like this, it is no different from a farce. Not only will Khan become the laughing stock of all Mongolians, but we will not be able to raise our heads to be human beings." The brother still said coldly, but two persevering and sharp lights shot out from his dark eyes, as if he wanted to penetrate everything in the world.
"You are the master general, what are you good ways?" Yegu said with a regret.
"I..." The brother just spoke, and suddenly heard a sound outside the tent.
"Report—"
"Report to the two generals, Wu Sangui and his two thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry are gone!"
"What, I'm missing?" When the brother heard this, his face suddenly changed. He rushed to the scout, grabbed his collar and lifted it up directly. It was unimaginable that the brother, who was thin and weak, had such a huge explosive power when he grabbed it. After Yegu saw it, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he immediately returned to calm.
"What's going on? Tell me quickly!" The brother couldn't help but calm down and asked loudly. No one had ever lost his target under his tracking. This was the first time, how could he not be shocked?
"That brother... general... they... seem to have drugs that interfere with the wolf general's sense of smell..., and the four wolf generals... were all lost." The scout replied stutteringly because of nervousness.
Brother Na’s achievements in chasing prey generally depend on his extremely sensitive sense of smell, and half of them depend on the four wolf cubs who grew up with him since childhood. The wolf’s nose is actually more sensitive than the dog, and it can also predict the existence of danger. They have also made many achievements by avoiding the crisis of multiple killings.
The brother's face was gloomy and glittered with a terrifying dark light, and he was like a wild wolf who chose to eat.
The scout fell from the palm of his hand in a panic, and he was so scared that he ran out quickly. Perhaps the terrible look of his brother just now would remain in his mind for the rest of his life, becoming an indelible shadow.
"Brother, what should I do now?" Yegu was also a little afraid of the look that brother had just looked, and his tone became much more harmonious.
"They can't run out of my brother's palm!" A sharp cold light shot out from his eyes.
"Major General, the medicine prepared by Doctor Lu Xiao really works. The four wolves finally let us trick them!" Yan Peiwei was so happy to remember the four wolves that were burned by the special herbs and roared everywhere.
"That brother is not that simple. These four wolves are just a tool for him. I believe he will catch up with us soon." Wu Sangui said calmly on the horse.
"What should I do?" Yan Peiwei asked in a daze.
"It's our turn to be the oriole!" Wu Sangui rushed forward after he squeezed his stomach.
"Yellow Bird?" Yan Peiwei was stunned for a moment. Wu Sangui's behavior has become more and more strange in the past few days, and it was a feeling that he could not see through. Could it be that the emperor gave him some secret mission? Yan Peiwei knew that Wu Sangui received a secret decree more than 20 days ago, but he had no way to know the content of the secret decree.
Just three days ago, a war between Elinchen and Bai Yan broke out. Elinchen led an army of 30,000, known as "50,000" to enter the Hetao area on the grounds that Bai Yan coveted the position of Dajinong, and poisoned his biological father, the original land Murte Mongolia Dajinong Bushitu.
Bai Yan fought in a hurry and suffered heavy losses. Many tribes that originally surrendered to Bai Yan immediately turned against each other after the arrival of Elinchen's army. Elinchen's army grew rapidly and swore to retake Guihua City.
Bai Yantaiji had no choice but to quickly gather his troops and prepare to fight to the death in Qingcheng.
At this point, the Battle of Qingcheng has begun!
Chapter completed!
