All the hard work has finally yielded some achievements. The eunuch army of Gongziying is one of ten thousand in the palace. They are all tall and powerful. They are invincible in individual combat. They have achieved some success in equestrian skills, and have gradually improved in horseback shooting.
The Leopard Battalion comes from the elite cavalry of the Jinwu Guards, all of whom are brave and capable in riding and shooting, and their combat prowess is no less than that of the elite Qing army. Kuang Ren's fifty sharpshooters come from the carefully selected archery masters from Zhou Yuji's army. It is said that the young eunuch has given instructions to Kuang
Rein formed a sharpshooting camp.
On the left and right are two tiger generals, Tu Yuan and Jia Waixiong, and in the retinue are Chen Wangting, General Fa, and these master-level figures in Wuzhong.
In addition, there is the Black Tiger Camp that Tu Yuan is waiting to form, and the Black Wolf Camp in Wuzhong...
Given time, with an army of little eunuchs in hand, the dream of dominating the world is not unattainable.
But what matters now is how to deal with the Qing army entering the mountains.
In Moshigou, two hundred servants were really sharpening their knives. They were the protagonists today. Hu Ling had already sent out military orders, and Hou ordered them to prepare for war.
After months of doing soy sauce and traveling thousands of miles, they were always busy with chores. Now it is finally their turn to appear. The servants feel proud and elated. We really think we are chores. Today, let us see what it means to be a warrior and what it means to kill.
A bunch of stinky eunuchs are making fun of themselves every day, showing off their power and thinking they are great.
"Brother Ninth, have you ever killed a Tatar before?" Beside a huge stone in Moshi Valley, a family looked up at a burly man on the stone.
About twenty-seventy-eight years of the Han Dynasty, he was a native of Huizhou Prefecture in the Southern Zhili Province. In his early years, he was a wanderer and was taken under Jiang Quan's command. Because he was the ninth oldest, he was known as Huizhou Laojiu. He was the leader of the family.
Lao Jiu shook his head: "I have killed thieves, but I have never killed Tatars."
"I heard that the Tatars are very fierce, and the border troops..." The servant spoke again, but Lao Jiu shouted angrily.
"You're such a tough mother, don't always mention the border army. I haven't seen the Tatar dogheads around those eunuchs. They can kill them, why can't we kill them? You two scoundrels are so stupid to say this."
"You don't want to disturb my morale, or you are just a coward and have no courage." Lao Jiu was so angry that he jumped off the boulder and beat the servant.
The servant kept complaining and said he was just too excited.
Not to mention that Hu Ling in the mountains was busy deploying, Wu Sangui and Tang Tong who were watching from Ningyuan City saw that the Qing troops outside the city began to surround Xishan, and they knew that the situation was not good.
Why was it suddenly exposed, and what happened to the group of people who entered the mountain early in the morning? Wu Sangui frowned and rubbed his head, suddenly startled, and looked at Tang Tong: "Old Tang, maybe you really got it right.
”.
What? Tang Tong was startled.
"I'm afraid the little governor really went to sneak attack the Qing army that went south last night!" Wu Sangui took a long breath: "How awesome!"
"No, that's not possible. I'm going to die." Tang Tong was startled and glanced towards the north of the city. He saw a Qing army camp with about 500 men and horses, circling outside the trench and heading straight for the Western Mountain.
In a short period of time, two to three thousand Qing troops had gathered at the foot of the Western Mountain.
I'm afraid it's going to be a fierce battle! Tang Tong raised his eyebrows.
The Qing army was afraid that they would suffer a big loss! But Wu Sangui had a sinister smile on his face.
Since the young eunuch took the initiative to expose himself in advance, how could he not leave a backup plan? What's more, he had already made preparations before entering the mountain.
The Ming army had an ambush hidden in the mountains. This matter was extraordinary. Dorgon ordered Nikan to personally supervise the matter, and Abatai volunteered to go with him.
Hauge, on the other hand, was uncharacteristically silent and silent, and so were the generals under his command, no longer as eager to take action as in the past.
Nikan and Abatai were victims of the Ming army's tricks, and their physical and mental wounds have not yet healed. Once they were bitten by a snake, they were afraid of ropes for ten years. They put away their past arrogance and domineering and dealt with it carefully.
The two led 500 troops to the foot of the Western Mountain. At this time, there were nearly 3,000 Qing troops on the dianjiangtai. They mounted their horses and looked around. They saw that the mountain was steep, the cliffs were difficult for birds and animals to climb, and there were many accumulations in the mountains.
It is covered with snow, covered with rocks and thorns, and the forest is reborn. If you want to enter the mountain, you can only enter through the only valley.
Nikan did not dare to ask Da and Abate to discuss for a while, and then ordered two hundred Qing troops to enter the mountain for investigation.
The mountain road was muddy, rugged, and difficult to navigate. The Qing soldiers abandoned their horses and entered the mountain. They could not walk less than a hundred meters, their eyes spitting fire. They saw more than ten Qing soldiers hanged on the trees beside the mountain road, their faces ferocious and full of fear.
After the news reached the general stage, Nikan and Abatai looked at each other, feeling the anger and murderous intent in the other's heart.
Dorgon looked in the direction of the Western Mountain in front of the commander's tent for a long time, then returned to the tent and sat down, looking at a young man in front of him: "If you can enter the pass this time and take the Ming Dynasty, I will let you go back to North Korea."
The young man's face was filled with joy: "The Ming Dynasty has long been in a quagmire and has been unable to extricate itself. Regent Wen Tao's military strategy will definitely replace the Ming Dynasty and dominate the world!"
Dorgon chuckled: "When the time comes, I will reward you according to your merits. Your Korean artillery played an indispensable role in the battle the year before last. You need to continue your efforts this time. When the Qing Dynasty takes over the Ming Dynasty, you will be the king of Korea."
.
The young man immediately bowed his head and thanked him.
That's right, the young man is the 20-year-old Crown Prince Sohyeon of Joseon (equivalent to the prince of the Ming Dynasty). Seven years ago, the Qing Dynasty invaded Korea and took him and his brother Fenglin Dajun (equivalent to the prince of the Ming Dynasty) as hostages. They were under house arrest on weekdays.
In Shenyang, I took him to the military camp during the war, not because I was afraid that he would run away, but to pressure North Korea to borrow troops to attack the Ming Dynasty.
During the Songjin War, Huang Taiji put his brothers under house arrest with the army. North Korea had no choice but to send artillery to assist the Qing army in attacking the Ming Dynasty. The North Korean artillery force was just grateful to the Ming Dynasty for resisting Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasion and was unwilling to attack the Ming army during the war.
They often fire empty cannons, deliberately miss the target, or deliberately add water to the gunpowder, etc.
After being discovered by the Qing army, many people were killed, and the Manchu army was ordered to wear Korean soldier uniforms and bombard the Ming army. The Ming army hated the Korean soldiers, and even the reward for killing Korean soldiers was much higher than that of the Qing army.
After that, the Korean soldiers became disillusioned and began to sincerely assist the Qing army, making great contributions during the Songjin Battle.
As for Prince Zhaoxian Li Wang (I agree with the homonym, I can’t type that word), his country was ruined and his family was humiliated at the beginning. Plus, he was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Of course he hated the Qing Dynasty, but he was taken hostage at the age of thirteen. During the seven years of the Qing Dynasty,
Deliberately wooing him had already planted another seed in his heart, and he began to become close to the Qing Dynasty and became a Japanese traitor. This was also the real reason why his father poisoned him after the Qing Dynasty released him back to North Korea the second year after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs.
Li Wang was plundered for seven years, during which time he returned to his country and the province twice. Each time he returned, his eldest son served as a hostage. One was four years ago, and the other was in the first month of this year. As soon as he came back, he went on an expedition with Dorgon.
There are also his Korean artillery.
Dorgon was drawing a pie for Xiao Lizi in the tent, but actually his mind was still on Xishan. After almost a stick of incense had passed, no news came, and he felt a little worried.
But at this moment, a horseman came to report. Not long after Nikan sent 200 troops into the mountain, he heard the sound of killing and they did not come out for a long time. He sent people to investigate. After traveling a few miles, he saw 200 corpses piled up like a mountain at the mouth of the valley...
Dorgon was furious and immediately sent two thousand troops to Xishan.
Nikan and Abatai expected that the Ming army in the mountains would not let them in so easily, and there would be a fight, but they did not expect that the outcome would be a massacre.
More than two hundred people, none of them came out, were all killed. The mutilated corpses piled up like a mountain, blocking the entrance of the valley. The Qing army who went to the mountains to investigate came back and their legs were shaking when they reported back. They had never seen such cruelty and inhumanity.
of killing!
It is unknown when the Ming army became so cruel and cruel.
But he succeeded in irritating the big bosses of the Qing army, with a thunderous fury that could conquer the world.
In anger, Nikan personally led a thousand troops into the mountain. Abatai sat outside the mountain and ordered scattered soldiers to climb up dangerous places to explore the way in an attempt to encircle them in a roundabout way.
Not long after the army entered the mountain, Dorgon led the army to the general station at the foot of the mountain. Abatai came closer and explained the situation in detail.
Dorgon's face was ashen. There was only one possibility that he could eat two hundred people cleanly in such a short period of time with almost no big movement. There were many soldiers and generals, and there were heavy troops ambushed in the mountains.
Abatai was convinced, because he had heard sporadic gunshots earlier, and the thousands of musketeers who had ambushed him a few days ago could not help but tremble, and it turned out that they were really hiding in the mountains.
But how do they survive?
Dorgon doesn't care about this now, he only cares about how they will die!
It was necessary to enter the mountain and kill this Ming army before dark, otherwise all the previous efforts would be wasted as soon as it darkened. Dorgon issued a death order and sent more men to climb the mountain and clear a road from other places. For a time, the Qing army was everywhere in the mountains and plains.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of drums in the distance, which shocked Dorgon. The Ming army in Ningyuan City actually started beating drums, and the sound was like thunder, which could be heard more than ten miles away.
What? Do you want to take the opportunity to leave the city and start a fight?
Afraid of your request, Dorgon was simmering with anger and had nowhere to vent. He wished he could fight with Wu Sangui. When he saw Wu Sangui beating the drum, he was worried that the Ming army in the city would take the opportunity to sneak attack, so he immediately sent an order to Shang Kexi, one of the three kings of Sanshun.
His Tianzhu Army came out of camp and set up formation in the west of Ningyuan City to guard against Wu Sangui's sudden movements in the city.
When he learned that Shang Kexi had surrendered, the emperor was very happy and shouted, "God helps me," and immediately ordered his army to be the Tianshu Army. Under the leadership of Shang Kexi, this army has made great achievements in battle, and its hands are full of the brothers and sisters of the Ming Army's former compatriots.
