At dusk, the Ming army's artillery fire in the mountains made the Qing army retreat outside the mountain. On the top of the valley, Chang Yu held a telescope and looked at the foot of the mountain in the distance to observe the Qing army's movements. The soldiers around him cheered, and then rushed down the valley to collect the spoils of war.
, of course the most sought-after ones are the heads of Qing soldiers.
One head, five taels of silver.
The Ming army came out from the top of the valley and inside the valley, harvesting the heads of the Qing army everywhere. Some people even fought for it. What is even more surprising is that Wuzhong, who has always been aloof, actually led his servants to participate in the robbery and harvesting of those heads.
For a moment, there was chaos in the valley. Bloody heads were cut off and corpses were insulted... The Ming army cheered wantonly. Chang Yu at the top of the valley looked at all this, and his heart seemed to be stabbed by a knife.
Severe pain.
War dehumanizes people!
And he lost humanity even faster! Looking up at the Qing soldiers at the foot of the mountain, he knew that they were also human beings! They also had parents, wives and children. He also knew that hundreds of years later, everyone would be his own people and share a common country.
.
But now he hates the Qing army. He is not a populist, but the times are different and the positions are different. Each is his master and each other is the enemy!
This is just like today we hate the Japanese in this life, but after Japan is unified by China hundreds of years later, our descendants will ask why our ancestors hate the people of Japan so much, aren't we from the same dynasty...
A hundred years later we will be a family, but not now. You are the Manchu Qing Dynasty and I am the Ming Dynasty. You have invaded my land, killed my people, and occupied my mountains and rivers. You are sworn enemies!
More importantly, he wanted to prevent the Manchus from destroying the Ming Dynasty, because the two hundred years of the Manchus' rule would have caused immeasurable damage to the Chinese nation. Their minds were imprisoned and enslaved, and their humanities and science and technology had regressed, leaving the entire country behind for hundreds of years.
Suffering so much humiliation, all of which is inseparable from the rule of the Qing Dynasty. The most heartbreaking thing is that the knees that I kneeled on can no longer stand straight. Even more than a hundred years after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, most of them were still shepherd dogs...
Most of the soldiers of the two battalions in the cave woke up, most of them awakened by the sound of cannons outside. Tu Yuan and others were already watching the battle at the entrance of the cave. After learning that they had won easily and killed more than 500 enemies, they all congratulated Hu Ling.
The infantry battalions have taken turns entering the cave to rest and recuperate. Due to close combat, wounded people have appeared and have been sent to the cave for bandaging.
The cave was as warm as spring, and Chang Yu was discussing matters with the generals in a low voice, speculating on whether Dorgon might attack at night, and Wuzhong was fined to patrol outside the mountain.
Why punish him? Because he is stubborn and asks the young eunuch for money when he enters the cave.
Chang Yu was surprised, I owe you money? Then Wuzhong threw a few heads at his feet, leaving blood everywhere, and said that he would be rewarded with silver.
Then the little eunuch beat him up. The paralyzed silver cars are all in Ningyuan City. Why the hell am I going to get them for you now?
Everyone laughed, and Jiang Fa asked him why he was so anxious to use the money.
Wuzhong said that now that he has troops in hand, he wants to form the Black Wolf Battalion. He needs armaments and rallying people, and this money can do it all!
Jiang Fa agreed, and so did the rest of the group, but he was still kicked out of the cave by the young eunuch.
Wuzhong was not the only one who coveted those two hundred servants. Hu Ling wanted it, and Tu Yuan wanted it even more. As for whether the others had this idea, everyone knew it, because they all wanted it, but they all expressed the same intention.
He didn't care, and even slandered these servants as being weak.
In fact, they all know in their hearts that a private soldier of the general military officer guarding the border can go wherever he goes.
This battle in the afternoon proved their ability. Lao Jiu led two hundred people and the most valiant and bravest troops of the Qing army commander fought hard in the valley, killing more than a hundred enemies and chasing them to the mouth of the valley!
This is a face-to-face fight!
In the cave, the campfire was crackling, the game on the fire rack was sizzling and fragrant, and the two black wolf cubs beside Chang Yu stretched out their greedy tongues and kept moaning and calling.
Chang Yu tore off a rabbit leg and ate it. Finally, he threw the bone to the two wolf cubs and watched them fight over it. He said unhurriedly: "When Dorgon is angry, he can do anything."
"Come out, we don't rule out the possibility of a night raid. You will have no sleep tonight, or the real storm will come from tonight."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and touched the little wolf cub at his feet. The wolf cub was chewing on bones and was very protective of his food. When he saw Chang Yu's hand coming, he grunted and bared his teeth and went to bite. The little eunuch dodged it in a flash and raised his hand.
The slap was pulled out far away, and he groaned in pain, but after a while, he came over obediently.
"There are many traces in the back mountain. We cannot rule out being discovered by the Qing army, so we must be careful in dealing with them," Tu Yuan muttered while eating meat.
"Then the back mountain will be left to you. That is our retreat. If we are defeated, we can still escape from there." Chang Yu said softly.
"Mr. Factory Master, can the Tatars not get in?" Wu Weiying asked. The smell of blood all over the cave made him extremely uncomfortable, but it was cold and dark outside the cave and he did not dare to go out.
"It's never wrong to leave a way out in everything, right?" Chang Yu chuckled.
Dorgon had always been calm, but now he lost his mind and started yelling in the camp, hysterically smashing everything he could, holding his breath and not daring to give advice.
The only exception was Fan Wencheng, who was revered as a national teacher.
"It seems that we underestimated the enemy. Wu Sangui turned out to be more cunning than we thought. He set up a big trap to trick us. We thought he was vulnerable to a single blow in a small city. Unexpectedly, there was an ambush in the mountains and he showed up deliberately today.
Traces, lured our army into the mountains, and dealt heavy blows. In one night and one day, our army was severely defeated twice. First, the Ten Kings (Duduo) were attacked, and then Dorobele (Nikan) was defeated under the eyes of the prince.
, coupled with the ambush of Prince Raoyu a few days ago, this is his third consecutive success. If the prince does not deal with it carefully again, he may be plotted against him again."
Fan Wencheng's words made the furious Dorgon calm down a little. Yes, the more angry you are, the more impulsive decisions you make often have serious consequences. Before the Ningyuan city wall could be touched, it had been attacked three times by Wu Sangui, causing heavy losses.
Say it with no face at all.
At the moment, we need to calm down and deal with it. Should we pull out the thorn in the mountain first, level the city first, or do both?
At this time, the spies came to report that there were dense hoofprints outside Heifeng Mountain and disappeared at the entrance of the valley. After tracing, the spies found that someone was covering up the traces...
Heifeng Mountain is to the west of Shuangshan. Dorgon felt a chill in his heart. He only searched Shuangshan this afternoon, but he didn't think about the Ming army in Heifeng Mountain. How many soldiers and horses Wu Sangui had deployed in Xishan.
The night is a double-edged sword. A night attack is an excellent opportunity, but it is also an excellent cover for the Ming army lying in the mountains. In the commander's tent, you and I started arguing about whether to attack at night.
The geographical situation was unclear, and traces of the Ming army were also found in Heifeng Mountain. In order to avoid being ambushed, Fan Wencheng suggested sneaking into the mountain at night to find out the situation. If he wanted to attack the mountain, he should wait until tomorrow.
"Tomorrow the king will attack the city and bulldoze Ningyuan City!" Dorgon sneered, but he couldn't let the Ming army in the mountains spend the night comfortably.
