310 soldiers besieged Shunde Mansion

(Valentine's Day is here, I wish all single dogs, get off the list as soon as possible, well, I'll go eat a pack of dog food first.) Today's chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe!! ）

After Zabek withdrew from the tent, it didn't take long for a scream to be heard.

Then a Tartar soldier came in and reported to Haug and Abatai that Zabek had been decapitated.

Hauge waved his hand to the Tartar soldier and sat down on the tiger skin chair with a gloomy face.

At this time, Hauge still hated Zabek, who was still ordered to be executed by him.

Mainly this time, his generals have led such a large basket, and he will definitely be caught by the Tartar army commander Dorgon.

He was at odds with Dolgon, otherwise he would not have led a single army with Abatai and left Dolgon's army to the south.

Originally, he also hoped that this time, he would lead his troops to plunder more people and property, and make meritorious achievements.

In this way, it can offset Dorgon's prestige in the Tartar army at this time, and give him a heavier voice in the Tartar army.

Originally, everything went well, they successfully conquered Zhuozhou, and the harvest was not small, plundering countless people and property, so it can be said that they returned with a full load.

But at this time, the vanguard army of Zabek, which he sent out in advance to open the way to the south, made such a big mistake at a critical moment.

Even if he executed Zabek at this time, he would still be the master to blame, and Dolgon would still find a reason to suppress him.

Haoge's mood at this time, how could it be better.

"Junshi Chen, do you know that in the Ming Dynasty, there is such an elite army, and there is a general surnamed Li who is in charge?"

At this time, Hauge, who had a gloomy face, suddenly asked a middle-aged man behind him.

"This, the slave really doesn't know, at this time, except for the Guanning Iron Cavalry on the Liaoyuan Defense Line in the Ming Dynasty, I can't think of that cavalry that can fight with our warriors in the wilderness.

And in the Ming court, there are indeed a few more elite people, such as Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army, as well as Hong Chengchou, who is responsible for encircling and suppressing the rebels, and Sun Chuanting's two men and horses, which are also okay.

The minions really haven't heard of it, at this time there is a general surnamed Li in the Ming Dynasty, an elite division of the commander.

According to what Zabek said before, this Ming army of unknown origin has sharp firearms, is well-trained, and the soldiers are not afraid of death, and the generals are even more insidious and cunning, and quite strategic.

If there really is such a team, the number of people is as many as six or seven people, such a huge elite team, it is impossible for our spies lurking in the Ming court not to hear about it. ”

Chen Xiaoyi frowned, thought about it carefully, and then bent down to salute, with a humble attitude, and said respectfully to Haoge.

This Chen Xiaoyi was originally a Ming man, and he was born in a family of eunuchs, quite knowledgeable, and passed the Jinshi, but in his early years, he offended the court magnates and was never reused by the court.

Two years ago, the Tartars also invaded the Guannai and plundered a large number of people, including Chen Xiaoyi's family.

At this time, the Guanwai Tartar Emperor had begun to use the Han people on a large scale, especially after many Ming Dynasty generals defected and surrendered to the Tartars, which made Huang Taiji at this time attach importance to the use of the Han people, and even came up with the idea of building the Han Eight Banners.

And Chen Xiaoyi, who was plundered to the outside of the gate, as a scholar who had read books and had knowledge and insight, was inadvertently appreciated by Haoge and accepted as a portable minion.

Moreover, Chen Xiaoyi began to give advice to Haoge, so that Haoge did not suffer any losses in several battles with Dorgon, which made Haoge value him even more, and even worshiped him as a military advisor.

At this time, in the Tartar army, there are really many Han scum like Chen Xiaoyi.

Most of them were generals who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, or people like Chen Xiaoyi who were taken captive and then served as Tartars.

"Then it's strange, where did this Ming general, surnamed Li, lead this elite Ming army with a large number of people, come from?"

After listening to Chen Xiaoyi's words, Hauge was also puzzled and puzzled, but at the same time, he also believed that the situation that Zabek temporarily reported to him was absolutely true.

Such an elite army definitely exists, but they don't know anything about each other, and this ignorant enemy is the most terrifying.

"Lord Belle, such a strong Ming army suddenly appeared in the south, but it is not good for us, shall we revise the plan to go south?"

At this time, Chen Xiaoyi stood up again and said to Haoge.

"What do you mean by Chen Junshi?" After listening to Chen Xiaoyi's words, Haoge turned his head slightly to look at him and said in a deep voice.

"Lord Belle, in the opinion of a servant, we must be careful against this Ming army of unknown origin, and it is not appropriate to divide the troops to the south and move the whole army together, so as not to be broken by this Ming army one by one.

It's best that we can besiege the city without attacking it, and lure this Ming army to rush to the rescue, so that we don't have to look for them hard.

The next Baoding Mansion, Zhending Mansion, Shunde Mansion, etc., can all be places for us to lure, but I don't know if this Ming army will be fooled. ”

"Okay, that's it, when I find this Ming army, defeat it, and capture the leading general alive, I must skin him alive."

Hauge said through gritted teeth.

However, it didn't take long for Hauge to receive a reprimanding order from Dolgon, hundreds of kilometers away.

Dolgon had already arranged spies in Hauge's army, so he soon learned about Zabek's fiasco, and took the opportunity to directly deprive Hauge of the right to lead troops, and Abatai took over the command.

At this time, Li Zixiao arrived in Gaoyang with more than 7,000 men and horses, almost frightened Sun Chengzong, and thought that the Tartar army had come in advance.

Subsequently, they breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the sun and moon flag that Li Zixiao had people play, and Sun Chengzong personally came out to greet Li Zixiao and them.

Li Zixiao did not order the troops to enter the city, but camped on the spot, ready to march at any time, he didn't plan to stay here for too long, a small ** can't afford to support such a large army of them.

And when Sun Gelao, who was dedicated to welcoming Wang Shi, after learning Li Zixiao's identity, his attitude suddenly changed greatly, and his eyes when he looked at Li Zixiao lost his previous kindness.

It can be said that in Sun Chengzong's view, Li Zixiao's army did not listen to the orders of the imperial court at all, but only under the guise of the Ming army.

For this old minister who is loyal to the Ming court, the little good impression he had for Li Zixiao at the beginning is also gone.

Subsequently, Sun Chengzong blindly persuaded Li Zixiao to go north to fight the Tartars, which made Li Zixiao annoyed, and then decided to lead the troops to leave the next day.

Before leaving, Li Zixiao once persuaded Sun Chengzong to organize the people of Gaoyang to evacuate, and it was best to withdraw to Baoding Mansion, otherwise as soon as the Tartars came, their small city would be powerless to stop it.

However, Sun Chengzong knew that Li Zixiao was leading his troops to retreat south at this time, and regarded him as an opportunist, so he didn't listen to him at all.

After repeated persuasion failed, Li Zixiao didn't bother to persuade anymore, he didn't plan to get a hot head because of Sun Chengzong's two words of loyalty, and really led his troops north to find the main force of the Tartar army for a decisive battle.

If he did that, he would really be stupid, he still followed his original plan, after eating the Tatar of Zabek, he immediately withdrew to the base camp of Linqingzhou to rest and recuperate, and then looked for fighters.

Besides, even if it was a decisive battle with the main force of the Tartar army, it would not be the turn of such a tun army that had never received a penny of the imperial court's salary.

When leaving Gaoyang, Li Zixiao sighed, he had tried his best, but Sun Chengzong didn't receive his kindness, and he couldn't help it.

Next, he can't control the fate of Gaoyang City and the fate of Sun Chengzong's family, so he just goes with others, what's the matter.

In the next few days, Chongzhen had already ordered the Guanning Iron Cavalry to be transferred back to Guannei, and the 20,000 Tianxiong troops led by Lu Xiangsheng had all arrived near the capital.

With this minister of the Great Ming Humerus here, and the gold-swallowing beast of Ning Tieqi, they still need to go to the main battle with the Tartars!

Guanning Tieqi eats so much silver from the imperial court every year, and if it is no longer useful at this time, what is the use of keeping it.

Subsequently, Li Zixiao led his troops all the way south and returned to the base camp in Linqingzhou to rest, and along the way he scattered all the three hundred scouts of Han Tong.

Let them keep an eye on the movement in the north, keep an eye on where the Tartar army goes, and get the information of the Tartar army in the fastest time.

In the following nearly a month, the land of Hebei can be described as very lively, and after Dolgon led his troops all the way to Shanxi, he returned and began to move south.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry transferred back by Chongzhen also came, but it was handed over by Chongzhen to a eunuch, and the 20,000 Xuanda Tianxiong army led by Lu Xiangsheng also arrived.

It was precisely because of the arrival of these two elite Ming armies that a lot of pressure was put on the Tartar army, so that they did not dare to touch the big cities of Baoding Mansion and Zhending Mansion, so that these mansions were spared.

But the fate of Gao Yang and Sun Chengzong's family has not been changed, and the Tartar army still broke through Gao Yang and slaughtered more than 40 members of Sun Chengzong's family.

When Han Tong sent someone to send the news back to Li Zixiao in Linqingzhou, Li Zixiao sighed deeply and didn't say anything.

In this way, Li Zixiao stayed in the base camp of the White Dragon Army in Linqing Prefecture for nearly a month, during which he strictly ordered his subordinates not to lead the army north.

Zhou Dazhu, Qi Wei and others, who were in a hurry, had to ask Li Zixiao every day when he would attack again, and Li Zixiao's answer was one sentence: Soon, wait.

In this month, the Ming army and the Tartar army also had several small-scale battles on the land of Hebei, all of which were led by Lu Xiangsheng.

And in the face of the strong Tartar army, Lu Xiangsheng led his 20,000 Xuanda strong troops, and did not suffer much loss in the hands of the Tartars.

On the contrary, the most elite Guanning Iron Cavalry, under the leadership of the eunuch Gao Qiqian, feared the enemy like a tiger, and never dared to fight with the Tartar Army, blinding such a powerful team of Guanning Iron Cavalry.

As a result, the pace of the Tartars marching south and plundering was not curbed.

And after Hauge was removed from military power by Dolgon and Abatai took over the command, they were cautious at first, always on the lookout for the 'Li' Ming army.

Even, they estimated that they had come to besiege the city several times to lure the enemy, but they never saw the White Dragon Army again, and a month had passed, and Abatai had forgotten the existence of this Ming army.

………………………………………………………

At the beginning of December, the edge of the Tartar army had arrived in Shunde Mansion, and Abatai led his troops to surround Shunde Mansion, and at this time Li Zixiao also received information sent back by Han Tong.

"Okay, it's finally here, gather all the generals and prepare for battle!"

With Li Zixiao's order issued, the White Dragon Army, which had been silent for nearly a month, left the base camp again and rushed straight to Shunde Mansion, which was only more than a hundred miles away from them.

"General, Shunde Mansion is coming!"

Liu Zhong pointed to the tall city wall exposed in the distance, and said to Li Zixiao with a slight joy in his tone: "The front is Shunde Mansion, I hope it doesn't have it yet, and it hasn't been captured by the Tartars!" ”

Li Zixiao smiled slightly and said: "Shunde Mansion is a city after all, although it is not as high and thick as Jinan Mansion, but it is not something that thousands of Tartars can easily capture."

As long as the generals defending the city are not stupid, with the high walls of Shunde Mansion and the thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, unless the main force of the Tartars arrives, it will not be a problem for them to persist for the last month. ”

"Who knows, the things in this world are difficult to say accurately, as for the city guards of Shunde, hum!"

Li Zixiao could hear that in Liu Chong's tone, he seemed to be very uninterested in the officials of Shunde Mansion.

Although he was a little shocked in his heart, he remembered that it seemed that Liu Chong's hometown was from Shunde Mansion, and it was estimated that there were a lot of hidden secrets!

But Li Zixiao is not the kind of person who likes to get to the bottom of things, he still respects the ** that his generals should have, smiled slightly, and stopped talking.

Li Zixiao grabbed his war horse in his crotch, sped up his speed, and led the army to the faintly visible Shunde Mansion.

On the afternoon of December 2, the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the smoke was billowing from the head of the city of Shunde Mansion at this time, and the city wall was in a mess.

Many soldiers were busy carrying things at the head of the city, and some of the people were carrying the soldiers who were killed or wounded in battle down to heal.

A Tartar army of six or seven thousand men appeared outside the city of Shunde Mansion yesterday, and immediately launched an attack after failing to surrender to the Ming officials in the city.

Today, the attack of the Tartars was finally repulsed again, and everyone began to get busy, repairing the city wall and saving people.

Jia Wenru, the prefect of Shunde, was standing at the battlement at the head of the city of Shunde at this time, looking at the Tartar army camp about a mile away from the city.

The anxious expression in his heart appeared directly on his chubby round face.

Jia Wenru should have a fat face full of red light, but at this moment, beads of sweat kept falling, and Chen Luo, the soldiers and horses of Shunde Mansion beside him, looked quite calm.

Looking at the Tartar soldiers who had just retreated from the city, Chen Luo's face was still expressionless, but a trace of unusual fluctuations flashed in his eyes.

Jia Wenru took out a snow-white silk scarf, wiped the beads of sweat on his head, and asked anxiously: "Chen Shoubei, these Tartars have been attacking the city for two days.

Our manpower is getting smaller and smaller, and it looks like we can't hold it anymore, and it is estimated that if the Tartars attack again tomorrow, the Shunde Mansion will fall.

Let's send someone to the north to find Lord Lu and ask for reinforcements, right? ”

Chen Luo was expressionless and said, "Master Jia, since you know that our Shunde Mansion can't last tomorrow, is it too late to send someone to Lord Lu for help now?" ”
