Nikan, the most famous general among the young generals of the Qing Dynasty.
Just before the stick of incense was burned, the general was still furious in the military camp. Abata was about to suddenly kill Wu Sangui, but he actually ordered him to stay in the military camp, but took Hauge with him.
This made him very angry. Hauge was a thorn in Dorgon's side, but he was Dorgon's pawn. How come this old guy couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe, and his great achievements benefited others.
Nikan is not a foolhardy person. After a moment of reflection, he can tell that the old man Abatai's thoughts are nothing more than trying to have both sides. Although he supports Dorgon, he is not absolutely die-hard. He is just because he is dissatisfied with the emperor.
Taiji had just fallen into Abatai's arms. As for Hauge, he didn't have much dislike for him. At this time, the two people's struggle for power had come to an end. They were both secretly wrestling with each other. It was still unclear who would win in the future. Giving credit to Hauge at this time was also a warning.
Show your favor and leave a way out.
As for himself, although he is the eldest son and grandson of Nurhachi, his father Chu Ying died for a crime in his early years, and his eldest brother Du Du and second brother Guo Huan passed away early. His lineage has been considered withered. He has long been far away from the center of power and has been reduced to a small number.
Ergon's pawn, with a sword in his hand, was just a kid in terms of status at this time, so even though he was on the same side as Abatai, the old man didn't take him seriously at all.
He secretly communicated with Hauge in front of him, and regarded himself as useless. In fact, it was hateful, but he had no choice but to lose his temper in the camp, smash plates and bowls, and beat a few coated slaves to relieve his anger.
The whip was whipped, leaving a bloody mark on the thinly-coated slaves. They knelt in the snow, with pain on their faces, but did not dare to moan, because they knew that if they made a sound, they would be whipped even harder.
After more than a dozen lashes, several of the wrappers were left naked and huddled in the snow, with hideous expressions on their faces, but only the breath that came out was gone.
There were two faint thunders in the distance. Is it going to rain?
"My lord, my lord, look..."
Nikan had just put down his whip and was about to take a drink of water to rest when a soldier suddenly shouted and pointed at the outside of the Zhengnan camp.
But I saw thousands of people and horses suddenly pouring out of a wild valley in the distance, turning their heads and rushing towards the mountain road to the east... There, Abate's cavalry had just entered the mountain road.
No, the Ming army has an ambush!
Nikan was shocked. Although he was dissatisfied with Abatai, how could he dare to neglect the situation when the overall situation was so important? He immediately summoned men and horses to rush out of the camp to rescue him. He thought that these Ming soldiers were too young. After entering like this, he was blocked by him.
The road has become a dumpling!
Hahaha, I was sitting in the camp, and the credit was sky-high. Nikki couldn't be more happy. The rescue was timely, the Ming army was ambushed, and the savior was in a critical situation. It was a great achievement!
Although he only has less than a thousand troops.
Men, go and collect your merits. Nikana, who led his troops out of the camp, was extremely high-spirited. Looking at the Ming army hiding behind the Abatai troops and sneaking into the mountain road, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, with murderous intent all over his body.
Give three feet of snow.
The horse was running fast, and when he saw the group of men and horses entering the mountain road, Nikan's heart was on fire, and he wished he could fly over with his wings and massacre, leaving no trace of the Ming army behind, and blood flowing like a river. I will definitely be the first to succeed in this battle.
Whatever Abate or Hauge, get out of here.
The mountain road has indeed been filled with blood for a long time. The Qing army was attacked by the Ming army in front and behind. Wu Sangui crushed a city of soldiers and horses in the south. The five hundred cavalry behind him were fierce and fierce. Once they entered the enemy's formation, they killed all directions. The Qing army has always been fierce.
But at this time, the morale of the army was already in chaos and they had no intention of fighting. Wherever they could resist, they were running around in all directions in the valley. The enemy generals slashed and killed several enemy generals in an attempt to stabilize the position, but it was of no use. The Ming army took advantage of the situation and rushed in, and the two sides fought fiercely.
, fighting fiercely, but everyone knows that if nothing happens, the Qing army will be defeated. It is only a matter of time.
Compared with the fierce fighting in the mountain road, thousands of infantry battalions on the slopes on both sides of the mountain road held their breath and waited for no action. Commander Li Tiezhu looked at the cavalry that rushed out from the enemy camp, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.
He raised his hand to indicate that there were still three miles of land, two miles of land, and one mile of land, ready to light the fire.
The soldiers of the infantry battalion began to take out the fire sticks and blow out the flames, and the whole god ordered.
Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters, twenty meters... When Nikan's cavalry arrived at the mountain pass, they galloped for more than ten miles. The horses were already panting. Seeing the soldiers in the mountain road, they were not afraid and continued to fight.
Horse charges.
Click! Li Tiezhu roared.
All the soldiers in the infantry battalion fired their muskets, aiming their guns at the Qing cavalry running down the mountain road.
Bang bang bang bang, thousands of muskets fired in volley, the power was almost devastating, even though this was an era dominated by cold weapons, even though the shooting distance and lethality of muskets at this time was only equivalent to that of bows and arrows.
The distance between Nikan's men and horses was too close. This was because they did not notice the Ming infantry at the mountain pass. More importantly, they did not see clearly the guy in their hands.
The firing range of the musket is about three hundred steps, which is a distance of two hundred meters. This is still a lethal range, and all Nikan's men and horses are within this distance.
As intensive gunshots rang out, Nikan was shocked. At the same time, he suddenly discovered that a large piece of his subordinates had fallen to the ground, falling off their horses and rolling on the ground howling miserably.
This shocked him to the extreme. After a quick glance, out of the eight hundred cavalrymen, only about two hundred were left unharmed. At this time, he had no intention of fighting again. He was so frightened that he slapped his horse and turned around and ran away. However, he heard loud killing sounds behind him.
One of the thousand-man troops from the infantry battalion rushed out of the valley to seize horses and pursue them.
Nikan was frightened out of his wits. He jumped on his horse and fled towards the military camp. Not two miles away, he suddenly saw thick smoke billowing in the military camp and loud gunshots. The Ming army actually laid an ambush and set fire to the camp while it was empty.
.
That's right, Chang Yu had previously deployed more than a hundred men to lurk close to the Qing army's camp just to play this trick.
"Sir, run to the east," someone from his subordinates said loudly. There were many pursuers behind him and the momentum was huge. There were ambushes in the camp ahead. I couldn't think too much at this time. Damn Shou Gong, damn Abatai.
Nikan gritted his teeth, turned his horse around and fled eastward.
Looking at the hundreds of Nikan cavalry fleeing in embarrassment, Li Tiezhu at the mountain pass laughed loudly and ordered the bluffing pursuers to return and slaughter the cavalry who had been shot and injured and fell to the ground. Looking back at the brutal fighting that continued in the valley, he was still alive.
The infantry battalion with good ammunition immediately went to clear up the enemy, in groups of five, 11 people in a row, and 20 people in a team. Individual soldiers were not allowed to fight.
A burst of intensive gunfire almost slaughtered all the hundreds of Nikan's reinforcements. At the same time, Abatai, who was restless among the rebels, felt like his heart was on fire, and he felt even worse. The Qing army was good at bows and arrows, but did not like muskets.
Because of the same lethality, bows and arrows can be replaced faster and more flexibly, so there are fewer guns in the army. But the gunfire coming from this is so dense, it only means that the army has a lot of ambushes over there. This battle can only be...
I felt sad in my heart, but always held on to a glimmer of hope. Perhaps Hauge could really tell a bloody path. I looked up and saw Hauge vaguely fighting with a group of Ming troops.
