Chapter 314: Into the City

314 into the city

(Today's chapter is presented, brothers, please collect and subscribe!!) )

Some of the Tartar generals around Abatai were unwilling to let Andari withdraw like this, and more importantly, if they retreated like this, Andari would expose his back to the White Dragon Army.

With the firepower shown by the White Dragon Army just now, it is enough to inflict a lot of casualties on the Tartar cavalry again, and now the Tartars are quite in a dilemma.

"Hmph, before you can bring people to rush up, it is estimated that Andari and they have already been wiped out!"

Abatai stared and asked, seeing that all the generals were silent, he sighed, waved his hand lightly, and said: "Okay, this time we are careless, I didn't expect that there really is such a Ming army, blow the trumpet and withdraw the army!" ”

"Woo woo woo ......"

The desolate sound of the horn echoed in the camp of the Tartar army, and dozens of Tartar white-armored soldiers were storming Andari in the Ming army's chariot formation.

At this time, when he heard the horn of retreating, he hurriedly led the remnants to retreat as if he had heard an amnesty.

When Andari led and finally retreated more than 200 remnants of the Tartar soldiers, and staggered to Abatai's eyes, he was full of confidence in front of Abatai just now, and knelt heavily in front of Abatai to plead guilty.

"Lord Belle, minion...... The minion has failed your expectations, the minion has disgraced you, please punish the minion! ”

Looking at the subordinate in front of him, Abatai rarely did not scold him, but stretched out his hands and helped him up.

"I don't blame you for the failure of this attack, it's because I underestimated this Ming army, so that there will be this failure."

After picking up Andari, Abatai had a gloomy face and continued: "The combat power of this Ming army just now, everyone has seen it, and the combat power of this Ming army in the Ming Kingdom is enough to be comparable to the Guanning Iron Cavalry and Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army. ”

If we want to enter the Central Plains in the future, we will destroy all the Ming troops who dare to fight against our Qing Dynasty, so that the Ming dogs will be afraid of our Qing Dynasty and will no longer dare to resist.

Therefore, this Ming army will also be included in one of the Ming troops that our Qing Dynasty must get rid of.

What is hateful is that until now, we still don't know much about the details of this Ming army, and we don't even know who is leading the troops.

After this battle, I will report this matter to the Holy Lord, no matter what, the generals of this Ming army may be a big trouble for our Qing Dynasty to enter the Central Plains in the future. ”

After listening to Abatai's words, the generals of the Tartar soldiers couldn't help but look at each other.

The combat power of this Ming army just now, they have already seen it, the firearms are sharp, the formation is skillful, and the cooperation is tacit, and it is completely a well-trained elite division.

Abatai's eyes were not blind, of course he saw everything clearly, and it was not surprising that the White Dragon Army could attract Abatai's attention at this time.

Besides, the White Dragon Army just fought in formation, it was so powerful, if the White Dragon Army refused to defend the city, I am afraid it would be even more difficult to deal with.

With such an elite army arriving, Abatai knew that he was in serious trouble.

Although the Tartars are extremely fierce, when they encounter their own difficult fortified cities, they will generally go around and not fight their opponents.

In the final analysis, Tartars are still good at field warfare, and for siege warfare, they will pick up soft persimmons and pinch them.

For the Tartars, they rarely let the real Eight Banners Tartars participate in siege battles, and generally use the Mongols and Han Chinese as cannon fodder.

However, when encountering a threatening, strong and daring Ming army, they will destroy or completely defeat the other party at any cost.

Now that Abatai said so, he obviously regarded the Ming army in front of him as a real enemy of life and death.

At this time, the Ming people often said that the Tartars were simple-minded guys who couldn't even read military books.

In fact, there are many people in the high-level Tartars who are still very strategic, especially Abatai, who has a lot of vision and strategy in history.

Although Abatai is the seventh son of Nurhachi, because he was born to Huang Taiji, Dolgon and others, he was not born to the same mother, but was born to a concubine.

Abatai was not treated by his own brothers and brothers since he was a child, which has a lot to do with his background.

After the death of Nurhachi, Huang Taiji sat on the throne of Khan left by Lao Tzu, and finally even became the emperor, established the Qing Dynasty, and promoted Dolgon, Duoxue, Haoge, Yue Tuo and other brothers and important ministers to the prince.

Even Azig was crowned a county king, and only Abatai remained in place, still being his Belle, so the problem came.

Everyone in the world has a heart of gossip, and Huang Taiji, as the emperor of the Tartars, will receive the attention of others in every move, let alone the matter of knighthood.

Your Emperor Taiji has made all his brothers princes, even if they are worse, they will be mixed up as a county king.

This Abatai is also your half-brother, but why did he stand still?

Rumors spread and were talked about a lot, and these words slowly spread to Huang Taiji's ears.

Huang Taiji finally added a 'Rao Yu' in front of Abatai, the Baylor, to show the difference.

Despite this, compared with the prince, the title is still two levels lower, and it is still not as good as the county king.

During the reign of Huang Taiji, Abatai was humiliated and punished by Huang Taiji many times, but what is intriguing is that although Abatai has been punished repeatedly, he has only been fined silver and fines, and has never been severely punished by demotion or deprivation.

The reason why this is so is not because Huang Taiji is broad-minded, but because of his contempt for Abatai.

Huang Taiji thinks that Abatai is from a remote family, and he is brave and unscrupulous, and he has never posed a threat to his position.

Therefore, although Huang Taiji is ruthless and unkind, he has never been tolerant of the unruly Great Bel Amin, and Mang Gurtai can put them to death without mercy.

But for Abatai, a younger brother who is not a descendant, he has never been killed, and Abatai is also very self-aware, and has never shown signs of challenging the throne of Huang Taiji.

In the rumors of the outside world, Abatai has always been brave and unscrupulous, arrogant and rude, and can only use force, but in fact, this person is quite strategic.

His attitude towards the Ming Dynasty has always been very clear, they have always believed that the Ming Dynasty at this time was already a foreign powerhouse and a middle cadre, and the Qing Dynasty had every opportunity and ability to live in the Central Plains.

Especially after the Tatars conquered the entire southern Mongolia, obtained the heirloom Yukui, and expanded the territory from Liaodong to the entire Mongolian Plateau.

The entire Qing kingdom from top to bottom believed that this was an opportunity given to them by God, and the time had come for them to stay in the Central Plains.

Since then, the attitudes and policies of the Qing Dynasty towards the Ming Dynasty have also changed.

Now that the Tatar policy towards the Ming Dynasty has changed, many high-ranking Tatars have realized that they can also have the opportunity to enter the Central Plains.

The Jin soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty occupied half of China, and among these Tartar generals, Abatai was one of the generals who supported this policy the most.

As Abatai withdrew the attacking Andari, Li Zixiao also achieved his goal, giving the Tartars a dismount before entering the city, and then commanded the team to enter Shunde City.

Seeing that the White Dragon Army had entered the city of Shunde, a Tartar general came out and said: "Rao Yu Baylor, according to what the slaves have seen, this Ming army is clearly a hard bone to gnaw.

Besides, now that they have begun to enter Shunde City, if they continue to attack hard, the minions are afraid that we will lose a lot! ”

"Yes, we have fewer people in the Qing Dynasty, and we can't exchange our lives for these Ming dogs." There were also Tartar generals who chimed in.

Abatai's expression was solemn, and then he shook his head and said: "It's hard to find this Ming army now, if we don't take the opportunity to destroy it, when he grows up, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with."

I don't want the Ming Kingdom to have another team like Guanning Tieqi, otherwise when will our Qing Dynasty enter the Central Plains! ”

When the Tartar generals saw that Abatai had made up their minds, they no longer dissuaded him, and returned to their camps to prepare for tomorrow's battle.

As the west gate of Shunde Mansion City slowly opened, Jia Wenru, the prefect of Shunde, and Chen Luo, the garrison of soldiers and horses, also came out to greet Li Zixiao in person.

After Li Zixiao led his troops into the city, the first thing he saw was a middle-aged civil official wearing a four-grade cloud goose suit, with a thin face and a long beard, standing at the city gate, looking at him with a smile.

There is also a military attache wearing a five-rank flying bear suit, with a dark face and an expressionless expression, and through the information collected by Li Zixiao before, he immediately knew who these two people were.

Li Zixiao looked at the civil official in front of him, waved his hands, and said with a smile: "The Yongcheng Tun army guerrilla Li Zixiao has seen Jia Zhifu. ”

Li Zixiao's official position at this time was really a little embarrassing, after Li Zixiao returned to the imperial court, the imperial court casually gave him a guerrilla official position in order to appease him.

and gave him the land of Yongcheng County as a military salary, so Li Zixiao later found out that he, a guerrilla general, did not have a title.

People who do guerrilla warfare and participate in generals will generally be named 'Loyal and Brave General', 'General Zhaoyong', and other miscellaneous generals, of course, far less than 'Zhenwei', 'Che Qi', 'Jianwei', these first-class and second-grade generals have been titled.

But even if he is a miscellaneous general, having a title is better than him, who has no title, which makes him a little embarrassed when he reports for his official position now.

Fortunately, at this time, Jia Wenru was already happy when he saw a support army coming, and it seemed that it was still a strong army, and he didn't care about this, which also made Li Zixiao breathe a sigh of relief.

Jia Wenru immediately stepped forward, shook Li Zixiao's hand, and said with a smile on his face: "General Li doesn't need to be polite, this official is Jia Wenru, the prefect of Shunde."

The official is at the head of the city, and when he saw General Li fighting with the Tartars, killing the Tartars was like cutting melons and chopping vegetables, which really boosted the morale of my Shunde soldiers and civilians! ”

Li Zixiao looked at the overly excited prefect of Shunde, and smiled: "Lord Jia is polite."

As a Ming officer and soldier, since he came here and saw that the Tartars were besieging my Ming Mansion City, how could he stand by and watch. ”

"Okay, General Li has made this great contribution, and he can still be proud of his achievements, and he is worthy of being my Ming general."

As soon as Jia Wenru met, he put a high hat on Li Zixiao and made him sneer in his heart.

"Ahem......"

At this time, a light cough came from the side, and Li Zixiao turned around to see that it was the black and thin general.

Jia Wenru came to his senses at this time, and said with some embarrassment: "Look, this official almost forgot to introduce, this is Lord Chen Luochen, the soldier and horse garrison of this mansion." ”

Li Zixiao smiled when he heard this: "It turned out to be Lord Chen, I am fortunate to be happy!" ”

Seeing Li Zixiao surrender to him, Chen Luo's swarthy face showed a rare smile, and said: "Fortunately, General Li has led the army well, and his subordinates are all elite soldiers. ”

"Haha, don't dare to be, don't dare to be."

"General Li has been in the dust all the way, and his generals and soldiers are probably tired, let them settle down and rest first, and tonight the official will be in the mansion to do the east, to pick up the wind and wash the dust for General Li, and hope that General Li will appreciate his face!"

Li Zixiao said with a smile: "Then tonight, the official should pay tribute to Lord Jia for a few more glasses!" ”

Although Li Zixiao came to Shunde as a reinforcement, the prefect of Shunde greeted him so warmly, he had already given enough face, and he couldn't help but carry it.

Therefore, he didn't put on a show, put on a familiar situation, and had a good relationship with the two military and political chiefs of Shunde Mansion.

"I'm sorry, this official has to inspect the city defense tonight, I'm afraid I can't go to the banquet." When Chen Luo heard this, his face turned stiff again and said.

"Huh?"

As soon as Li Zixiao heard this, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and he immediately saw that this Chen Shoubei belonged to the kind of military general who was not good at communicating.

"General Li, don't get me wrong, it's not that Chen Shoubei doesn't understand people.

In order to prevent the Tartars from sneaking up at night, Chen Shoubei personally inspected the four city walls every night for the safety of the city defense, and he hadn't slept well for two days. ”

"I see!"

Li Zixiao suddenly realized and said to Chen Luo: "Lord Chen has worked hard. ”

"This is the duty of this official, not to mention hard work."

Chen Luo still had a black face and replied bluntly, but he moved his gaze from time to time, and he kept standing on the thousands of murderous white dragon soldiers on the side of the road.

And when Chen Luo's gaze saw a black and strong general in the White Dragon Army, his eyes were slightly condensed, and his eyes even showed joy, and he wanted to rush over to say hello, but he couldn't help it.

Of course, Liu Chong in the White Dragon Army also saw Chen Luo, nodded slightly to him, and there was also joy in his eyes, and the two obviously knew each other.

But on this occasion, when both of them knew that they didn't recognize each other, they didn't speak.

Li Zixiao could see that this Chen Luo was a good official who was loyal to his duties.

That night, in the prefect's office in Shunde, the lights were bright.

Jia Wenru was in the lobby of the prefect's mansion, holding a banquet and inviting Li Zixiao and other officers of the White Dragon Army.

In addition to Chen Luo, almost all the civil and military officials in Shunde arrived, and everyone praised Li Zixiao and others.

also let Li Zixiao see the level of officials in the ancient officialdom.

You know that these officials, the words of praise and praise they send make you feel like a spring breeze.

This level of sycophancy also opened Li Zixiao's eyes, and at the same time sighed in his heart, it turns out that patting sycophants is also an extremely advanced knowledge!

In the Ming officialdom, you can have no ability or no background, but you must not be a sycophant, otherwise it will be difficult for you to mix.

After the banquet began, Jia Wenru summoned the singing and dancing prostitutes to cheer up.
