Everyone's surprised eyes focused on this man. They saw this man slowly raised his head, revealing his head of white hair. He looked at everyone with a bitter smile and said, "Why, don't you want to believe me?"
After a long time, Azig showed an embarrassed smile and said: "Of course, of course we believe you, but Fifth Brother, you have been...hehe..."
Looking at Azig laughing dryly, the white-haired middle-aged man said unhappily: "Why, do you think I can't lead troops to fight after staying at home for a few years? Let me tell you, I, Amin, am
Batulu of the Qing Dynasty was born to fight on the battlefield!"
It turned out that this gray-haired old man was Aisin Gioro Amin, who led the attack on North Korea in the ninth year of Chongzhen's reign, but was defeated by Pang Gang and fled. The 50,000-strong army was almost completely lost.
Amin, who returned from defeat, was stripped of all his official positions and titles by the angry Huang Taiji and was imprisoned at home until he was released recently. However, when Amin appeared in front of everyone, he discovered that he originally had black hair.
Amin now has gray hair and wrinkles on his face, looking like a seventy-year-old man.
Seeing Amin's miserable state, even Huang Taiji couldn't bear it. He ordered the restoration of Amin's title and allowed him to walk in the army. This was also the first time Amin participated in this high-level military meeting after being imprisoned.
.
Originally, when they saw someone stepping forward to take on this thankless and even dangerous task, everyone should have secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But seeing Amin's old face and trembling body now, even Huang Taiji couldn't help but feel a little worried.
.
Huang Taiji looked at Amin below and said with concern: "Well...Amin, you just came out and your body is still weak. You should rest more. This kind of thing should be left to others."
Bar."
It stands to reason that it is rare for Huang Taiji to speak in such a gentle manner, and the people who care about him should be grateful and shed tears, but Amin did not feel the slightest gratitude to the emperor who had imprisoned him for several years. Instead, he said lightly: "Your Majesty, minister
Although I am old, I am still a Baturu who was granted the imperial title by the late emperor. Now that I can still ride a horse and shoot a bow, I can still make new contributions to our Qing Dynasty."
"you......"
Huang Taiji, who felt that his hot face was pressed against the opponent's cold ass, snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Amin. Since you said so, I want to remind you that there is no joke in the army. If anything goes wrong, I will
But I will punish you for your sins!”
Amin glanced at Huang Taiji with disdain and said proudly: "The emperor is determined. Although my brother has been imprisoned for several years, he has not forgotten his ability to fight!"
"You..." Huang Taiji's face turned green and red all of a sudden. He gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, since you are so confident, Amin, I will allocate 20,000 troops.
Just keep Li Yan's 50,000-strong army securely here. If you can't do it..."
"If you can't do it, I will dedicate my head to the emperor!"
Listening to Amin's decisive words, Huang Taiji couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Well, since you are so determined, I can't stop you, so I will allocate you 20,000 yuan from each banner.
Elite. And your job is to pin Li Yan firmly here. After I lead the army to eliminate the other group of troops, I will come back and annihilate Li Yan's troops with you! Do you understand?"
"Cha. My brother, I have received the order!"
Amin bowed towards Huang Taiji, with a look of determination on his face, and quickly withdrew.
After Amin retreated, Huang Taiji raised his head and said to everyone: "My lords, in addition to the 20,000 troops led by Amin, I am determined to leave 20,000 troops to garrison Shengjing, and the remaining 100,000.
The army will follow me to the east and annihilate the Chinese army that invades my territory in one fell swoop! Do you have confidence?"
All the generals shouted in unison: "My brothers (minions) and others swear to follow the emperor to the death!"
After the meeting, everyone slowly exited the tent. Duduo and Dorgon were still walking at the end. Looking at Amin who was walking hurriedly in front, Duduo asked doubtfully: "Brother Fourteen, Brother Five (A
Min) What's going on? He has been imprisoned for several years and his body and bones are almost destroyed. Can he still fight?"
Dorgon shook his head solemnly, "What's so hard to guess? Fifth brother has already developed a will to die!"
"What?" Duduo was startled and looked at Dorgon in surprise, his mouth hanging open: "Impossible, why are Fifth Brother so hard to think about it? Fourteenth Brother, aren't you trying to scare me?"
Dorgon glared at Duduo angrily and said in a low voice: "Can't you see that the fifth brother's body and bones are actually dying, and now he has reached the point where he has run out of fuel? He wants to use
My last life will help his descendants gain a better future!"
After Amin was imprisoned, all his property was left only in six houses, two gardens, and twenty slaves. The rest of the property belonged to Jierhalang. Among his six sons, Airli was killed, and the remaining five
My brother and his sons were all stripped of their titles.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if Amin dies, his family will probably fall into ruin, which is why Dorgon said the above words.
After listening to Dorgon's words, Duduo was silent. After a long time, he asked in confusion: "Brother Fourteen, do you think the fate of Brother Four is a lesson for us?"
"Learning from the past?"
Dorgon's eyes began to become a little confused. After a while, he gradually regained his clarity. He stopped and looked ahead for a while, then said in a deep voice: "No, we will not repeat what Fifth Brother did."
What a mistake!"
As he spoke, Dorgon walked forward, his steps unusually firm...
The Qing soldiers acted resolutely. That night, 100,000 Qing soldiers began to move quietly to the east. When the sun rose on the second day, only 20,000 horses were left in the entire camp, and the rest had already
Appeared dozens of miles away from Li Yan's camp.
Since most of Huang Taiji's people only brought dry food and weapons with them when they left the camp, the evacuation was very fast. Therefore, Li Yan did not realize that the more than 100,000 Qing soldiers opposite him had broken away from him. Waiting for him
When I got the news, it was already three days later.
The weather in Liaodong in October has begun to become cold, and light snow has begun to fall in very few places. Wild sheep, hares, wolves and other animals that originally roamed on the plains have to wander on the ground due to lack of food.
Wandering.
"Pimple, pimple, pimple..."
A dull sound of horse hooves rang from the west, and a group of cavalry galloped towards the east. When these cavalry approached, it was discovered that they were all wearing thick yellow leather armor, and thick copper nails were densely packed and exposed with a cold light.
Set off by the sturdiness and thickness of these leather armors, the faces of these people flashed, and even children could see that these Qing soldiers were more fierce and tough than ordinary Qing soldiers.
A Manchu cavalryman who was about thirty years old and had a big face looked back at the formation behind him and shouted: "Qing warriors, all change your horses and stay vigilant!"
After saying that, the cavalryman whistled first and jumped onto the back of another horse next to him.
The cavalry were much faster after changing their horses, but the snow fell heavier and heavier, and soon the yellow armor on their bodies gradually turned to white.
The wind was blowing suddenly, and the cold wind mixed with ice and snow made it almost impossible to open one's eyes. However, the Qing soldiers continued to move forward arduously. The leader Fende Bashiku wiped his face vigorously with both hands, trying to keep his eyes open.
Keeping your face warm helps you stay awake.
Just as he was trying his best to stay awake, he discovered that small dots slowly appeared in the distance in front of him. At first, these small dots were vaguely visible in the wind and snow, but after a while, they
, Fende Bashiku saw it clearly, and a group of cavalry also appeared on the opposite side.
"Who are these people? Are they also sent out to search for the movements of the Chinese army on the opposite side just like me?"
Fende Pashiku was startled and shouted loudly: "Everyone, pay attention, slow down. Niukulu and Erdotu stepped forward to confirm each other's identities, and the others immediately dispersed and were ready to greet them!"
These Qing soldiers were indeed well-trained. As soon as Bo Shiku finished speaking, two cavalrymen galloped forward at a high speed, and the remaining thirty or so cavalrymen dispersed automatically. In the blink of an eye, they were all gone.
Holding the long bow behind his back in his hand, the arrowheads were already on the bow strings one after another, and the gleaming arrows were pointed forward. At this time, there were still two hundred steps before the two sides met.
The opponent obviously also discovered them, and the opponent's reaction speed was also very fast, but the actions they made were very different from the Qing soldiers. Their reaction was not to disperse, but to immediately take off the things behind their backs and line up.
They stood in two rows, and after tinkering for a while, they picked up a long object and pointed it at the Qing soldiers.
Seeing such a situation, Fende Bashiku's heart twitched violently and shouted: "No, the people coming from the other side are Han people, Niukulu, and Ordotu. Come back quickly! They are going to open fire."
Gun!"
But it was already too late for Fendebo Shiku to speak. He only heard a few dull sounds. Two Qing soldiers who were running forward and still more than a hundred steps away from them had fallen off their horses and fell to the ground with the sound of gunfire.
On the snow.
"ah......."
When Fende Bashiku saw this scene, his eyes almost split open. The two scouts who just fell off their horses were warriors who had been with him for nearly ten years. They were skilled with bows and horses, and more than a dozen big men could not get in.
He was beside him, but now he was beaten to death so easily without even seeing the other person's face. This made him so angry that his chest exploded.
"You damn Nikans, I'm going to kill you all!"
The man with split-eyed eyes couldn't bear it any longer. He whipped the horse hard, then clamped the horse's belly and rushed forward with the long knife raised high...)
