Chapter 589: Battle
Of course Cai Yurong knows what's going on, this is the helpers of those Tuhai in the court, even Suo Etu can't support it.
Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly, Tuhai lost Xi'an, lost Tongguan, and didn't return to Beijing to recuperate for a few months, and he was going to step on his neck to come back. He worked hard here for two months, and the soldiers at the head of the city were almost replaced, and now seeing that both sides are almost grinding, it is up to him to see who can hold his last breath, and Tuhai stood up to pick peaches again.
Is there such a thing in this world? But he has no way to tell others, because he himself knows that he is a Han person, although it is a white flag of the Han army, but it is also a Han army, not the Eight Banners of the Manchu Dynasty, so people can pick the peaches he planted anytime and anywhere, not only can he not get the slightest benefit, but even the fertilizer used to plant peaches has to be bought by him.
As mentioned earlier, Cai Yurong is a person with a temperament, otherwise he would not have married Wu Sangui's granddaughter and impeached Kangxi's confidant Dong Weiguo.
So at this time, he already had resentment in his heart, and he wanted to defeat Tongguan to prove to those meat eaters in the court that only he, Cai Yurong, was the handsome man of the Manchu Dynasty, and as for Tuhai, he was just a person who could only pick peaches.
Just when he was indulging in his emotions, the commander of the guards beside him suddenly shouted: "Dashuai, it's not good, the gate of Tongguan is open." ”
Cai Yurong just came back to his senses, and his first reaction was that the Tongguan guards couldn't hold on and opened the city gate to surrender, but at a glance, he knew that something was wrong, the city was still poised to attack, how could he send troops?
A person rushed out of the city gate first, riding a black horse and carrying a Xuanhua axe, which was the weapon used by Cheng Biting Jin in the Sui and Tang Dynasties as Mr. Storyteller said, and he looked very imposing with murderous spirit.
Even if Cai Yurong couldn't figure it out, he knew what the person on the other side wanted to do at this time, and shouted: "The soldiers in front hold down the formation, and the archers in the back prepare." ”
To tell the truth, Hu Dadao didn't know how to ride a horse at first, but since he took this task, he understood that he had to learn to ride, otherwise he would not be able to run to Cai Yurong even if he was tired with a big axe, so on the way from Sichuan to Tongguan, he had been practicing horse riding desperately.
Riding a horse, as long as you overcome fear, it is a matter of proficiency, Hu Dadao grinded off a few layers of skin under the crotch, did not wait for the scab to continue riding, and then walked on the rope, and finally arrived in Tongguan City, his riding skills were already good, when he rushed out first, the formation suddenly suppressed the people on the opposite side.
The people in front of them attacked the city for two months, and they had already formed an inertial mentality, and they didn't even wear armor, because the thing was too heavy to affect their running, so gradually some people didn't wear it, and then most people didn't wear it, and to this day, there is not a single person wearing armor.
Hu Dadao stepped forward and knocked it down with an axe, and then shouted: "The brothers in the back remember to set fire." ”
These soldiers who followed him came from Sichuan with him, and his practice of riding day and night was enough to be admired by the soldiers, so these people were also willing to listen to him, leaving two or three people to run left and right, and the others continued to rush forward with Hu Dadao. At this time, you must not stop setting fires, even if the people on the other side do not kill you, the army rushing behind will crush you to pieces, so they flash to both sides first, and then set fire to these siege equipment after the army has passed.
These siege equipment can easily be lit, because wood is very brittle, and if it is not soaked in oil, it will break when it is forced, so many ladders and other equipment are soaked in oil.
Hu Dadao didn't have time to care about arson at this time, his target was already aimed at the enemy's handsome banner, in his opinion, to make Cheng Xiaolian affirm his ability, to make the civil and military ministers in the court convince him, it was appropriate to cut off Cai Yurong's head.
So he rushed straight towards Cai Yurong with a group of men, and Cheng Xiaolian sighed when he saw this scene in the city: "Hu Dadao is still too eager for quick success, how can he approach Cai Yurong at the beginning." ”
Qu Songjin laughed: "Then what should you do according to your wishes, Your Highness?" ”
"Of course, we will first kill all the soldiers and generals on the periphery who can't react, as the saying goes, it is better to cut off one finger of the enemy than to hurt ten fingers of the enemy."
"I haven't heard Your Highness say such a common saying, but you must know that the reason why they can't react now is not that we went out of the city, but that Cai Yurong is defenseless at all, and Hu Dadao is directly approaching Cai Yurong, that is, he has no time to command the soldiers on the periphery, and those people can only kill a blind cat and kill a mouse. Your Highness, if I were you, I would press all the soldiers and generals in Tongguan. ”
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "I'm just here to watch the battle today, the guards of Tongguan are you, if you are willing to put all the soldiers and generals up, I can't control you." ”
Qu Songtin laughed when he heard this: "Your Highness, you just wait for my good news." ”
As he spoke, he ran down the city wall, and the guards in the city immediately gathered and killed Qu Song.
Cheng Xiaolian sighed: "The General Qu I knew before, but he is a general who only likes to defend the city, why do you have to fight this offensive battle today." ”
Wang Jiyong laughed: "No matter who it is, in this Tongguan City, I have been beaten by others for two months, and I have a breath in my heart. Speaking of this, he glanced at Cheng Xiaolian: "Your Highness, I also have some itchy hands, and I happened to bring a thousand people to help, why don't I also go and get involved?" ”
Cheng Xiaolian waved his hand: "Roll on, if we lose this battle today, we in Shaanxi will have to fall into the hands of others!" ”
Wang Jiyong laughed: "Your Highness, don't worry, you can't lose this battle." As he spoke, he also ran down the city wall: "Brothers, let's also go and meet this Han Eight Banners for a while!" ”
As soon as Cheng Xiaolian turned around, Meng Ke looked at him pitifully: "Your Highness, they are all gone, you can't let me take the Modao team to watch the play on this city wall." ”
"Everyone has four legs, but you two-legged ones eat dirt in the back?"
"Your Highness, rest assured, once I go to the battlefield, I will definitely run faster than their four-legged ones!" With a wave of his hand, he rushed out with someone.
Yang Youcai glanced at Cheng Xiaolian and said worriedly: "Your Highness, if we lose this battle, we will lose all the bottoms we will lose." ”
"The bottoms are gone, let's grab it again, but the military heart is available, this battle should really be fought, we are now out of the two lakes and Yunnan There is no place to make any more progress, in order not to make enemies in the face, let's concentrate on fighting with the Manchus, if we want to fight, we have to play with momentum!"
