There are many legends about the name of Yulongling in later generations, some people say that this is from the place where the dragon rose in the northeast in the mythological story, and some people have seen the real dragon here. Some people also say that this is the node of the dragon vein of the Taizi River, so it is the place where the lord of Zhongxing shows his fate. As a result, more people firmly believe that all this is because of the lord of Zhongxing, whose prestige has been spread for thousands of years, and the historians and the people have a rare unified attitude of reverence, single-handedly created a new era of sages and emperors.
The name of Yulongling is because of this, and it is here that a crucial victory was laid.
The afternoon of September 29, the sixteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, is not in the afternoon, this time is destined to go down in history. The people on Yulong Ridge obviously didn't realize that this land would become a holy place for countless people in the future to pay their respects. The bloody smell of the battle filled everyone's palate, dissipated the smoke of gunpowder to make the vision clear, and the advantage of the Ming army pressed over from the east began to appear more and more, engraved in the hearts of everyone on the battlefield.
Reinforcements arrived from the east, and the two battalions successfully cooperated with the Flying Bear Battalion, which had been fighting fiercely for a long time, re-established the advantage in one fell swoop, and the small phalanx of battles and the charge were further solidified, and they continued to charge, cutting the cavalry's proud charge to the point of fragmentation.
Some Qing knights still wanted to turn the dock to gather the old troops to attack, but now, the superior strength of five or six thousand men in three battalions naturally compressed the space on the battlefield and occupied it, and the knights who had lost their room for maneuver could only be reduced to the infantry on horseback. Their long knives could not easily tear apart the armor of the infantry with the force of their impact, and the infantry was able to rely on their spears to pierce the chests of the Manchurian knights.
There were fewer and fewer Qing knights who were still fighting in front, as if the embankment had collapsed, and the Ming army in the east was like a flood that overflowed the Qing army that was still fighting, and then easily interspersed and divided these Qing troops. Annihilate them one by one.
Seeing that the Qing knights were facing the enemy on all sides, some of them frantically launched a fearless attack, and then they were stabbed into a hornet's nest under the head of a gun, and some of them threw away their clothes, armor and weapons in a panic, trying to escape, and more wept and dropped their weapons with a sad face, looking at the Ming army who shouted in Manchu: "Surrender or kill". The eyes are timid, like a newcomer who has entered the prison, and he almost didn't cover his buttocks.
The reinforcements of Erdek and Fafurshenbi had just rushed to the middle of the road, and they all gave up and turned into law enforcement teams, and targeted their own people with long knives and spears.
The cannibalistic Qing army temporarily stabilized the situation, and the various departments Niu Lu and Jia La took this opportunity to contact their subordinates, relying on the rapid movement of the cavalry, they temporarily got a little respite.
Fafurshen whispered softly, soothing the mount under his crotch. But the one who needs to be appeased more seems to be the Zhenghuang Qigushan Ezhen Tan Tai beside him.
Erdek didn't want to look at his subordinates who were constantly slashing and slashing the rout, so he turned around and whispered: "Gushan Ezhen." Let's go back first, we can't be defeated right now. There are also soldiers and horses to gain a foothold, and you can clean up the mess! ”
"You want me to throw in the towel?" Tan Tai glared angrily at Erdekebi.
Erdekebi bowed his head.
"I'm not reconciled......" Tan Tai regained his senses and didn't look at Erdek, he glanced at Fafurshenbi and found that Fafurshenbi was also at a loss and without confidence at the moment.
……
"Your Highness, Your Highness! Things have changed! In the Ming army, Ni Yuanlu strode over, panting. touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and said worriedly: "It's not right." ”
Then. Xu Wen of the Marine Corps, as well as North Korean General Lin Qingye and Japanese samurai mercenary captain Matsui Masayuki also ran over, looking at Zhu Cihong expectantly, and then at Ni Yuanlu suspiciously
Zhu Cihong looked at Ni Yuanlu: "What news did the Military Aircraft Department receive?" ”
"The weather is not right, I'm afraid there will be heavy rain!" Ni Yuanlu came to Zhu Cihong's side and whispered with a solemn expression.
Zhu Cihong's eyes froze. Look to the sky.
Sure enough, at this moment, the clouds are condensed, and the wind is hunting, and it is indeed the appearance of an imminent heavy rain.
Zhu Cihong's heart sank, but his face quickly relaxed. Said: "Generals, take a look." What is the direction of the wind? ”
Ni Yuanlu's eyes lit up: "Your Highness, this is the east wind!" Our army came from the east, and it was in accordance with the weather of our army! ”
Zhu Cihong smiled. At this time, the east wind was blowing and the thunderclouds were rolling. A rainstorm is about to fall.
"This is God's blessing. Attack with the whole army and defeat the Tartars! Zhu Cihong gave an order, and all the generals shouted in unison.
Lin Qingye and Matsui Zhengxue, who were originally a little confused, were all excited when they heard it at this time, and a strong feeling rose in their hearts, as if their souls had become a little trembling.
"I am willing to die for Da Ming!"
"I am willing to die for Da Ming!"
……
Subsequently, the two of them returned to their headquarters one after another, and led the troops to follow Xu Wen to charge.
At this point, the whole army of the Ming Dynasty launched a general attack, and even the armor that fought with the cavalry battalion of the Ming army on the south road began to be unable to support it and slowly retreated.
The rout of the Qing army manifested itself throughout the battlefield.
At this time, Guo Xin'a retreated back with the remnants of the army, and said to Tan Tai with a bitter face: "The north road can't be supported, the Ming army has twice as many ambushes, and the fire is sharp, and it is really powerful." Gushan Ezhen, after the Gangan Department is broken, let's retreat quickly. If you hesitate, you won't stand a chance! ”
Tan Tai looked at the Zhenglan Banner Han Army dejectedly, his expression changed for a while, and he said astringently: "Gather the remnants of the army and go to the middle road." ”
The middle lane is the Tong Tulai Division, which has finally stepped on the mine warfare. The main forces of the Ming army were staring at the main force of the Qing army on the North Road, and there were not many people to take care of them for a while.
It's a pity that at this moment, the whole Ming army attacked, and more than 1,000 soldiers and horses came to the middle of the originally weak Ming army.
These more than 1,000 soldiers and horses include Han soldiers and Korean soldiers, and there are more than 300 Japanese samurai who are not afraid of death. They rushed to kill with their lives, and the Han army with the blue flag almost resisted for a while before declaring its collapse, Tong Tulai sought a lone horse under the support of his own guards, and retreated wildly.
"Gushan Ezhen?" Tong Tulai looked frightened, he saw Tan Tai's face.
Tan Tai's face was gloomy, Tong Tulai was frightened in his heart, and said in his heart that he had violated military law by retreating from the army, and he had misreported the military report. It won't be slaughtered by this Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen.
What made Tong Tulai breathe a sigh of relief was that Tan Tai also looked embarrassed at this moment.
He glanced at Tong Tulai and found that this guy was really a sprinter, and there were more than 600 soldiers behind him. At this time, if you can have more strength, you can run away in time, and you can have a back.
Come to think of it. Tan Tai rarely eased his face and said, "Don't worry, let's slowly retreat first and resist step by step." ”
Smelling that the tone was wrong, Tong Tulai, who was not so bad, understood the meaning, gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "The last general ordered, I will break the queen!" ”
At the same time, the wind was blowing. The east wind rolls up the sand and gravel from the east to the west, and the stones fly away the sand, and the climate is suddenly bad.
As soon as Tong Tulai finished speaking, he saw a stone hit his face, tearing a stream of blood on his lips.
Tan Tai smiled and said, "General Tong is good, you are so good, wait for the regent to return to Beijing this time." I'll take credit for you. ”
After speaking, Tan Tai did not wait for Tong Tulai's reply before leading the army to turn around and beat the horse and gallop.
Rear. When the fighting began, more and more Ming troops quickly defeated the Qing army that was resisting in person, and continued to launch pursuits, and more and more deserters.
The great rout of the Qing army has been cast.
On the way to pursue the soldiers, Lin Qingye lifted a broken spear and threw it, piercing a Qing soldier who fled in a panic. Leap up and grab the horse.
"Lin Sang! Your movements are a little slow! At this time, Lin Qingye suddenly found that dozens of Japanese samurai appeared around him. The leader was none other than Matsui Masayuki, the leader of the Japanese hired samurai.
"I didn't think that Japanese samurai could also ride." Lin Qingye was surprised, although these Japanese samurai riding movements were a little jerky, but they were professionals who had indeed learned riding skills.
"Haha. Lin Sang! Remember, I, Matsui Masaki, am no longer a samurai. I am the Ming Royal Guards Legion, the head of a hundred households in the Foreign Legion! Matsui Masashi straightened up, looked at the Manchu soldiers fleeing in embarrassment, and said loudly: "Lin Sang, you are a wise person, and you chose to join such a powerful empire early in the morning. Your descendants will remember your choice, and you will not be like those inferior Koreans, who will be spurned by future generations! ”
Lin Qingye looked at Matsui Masayuki's fanatical expression, and there was no objection in his heart, but he was uncomfortable watching Matsui Masayuki and his samurai rob dozens of horses, which meant that they had killed so many Manchurian Jurchens. Such military exploits alone in the past are enough to raise an ordinary North Korean soldier to the level of a hero of the entire Korean state.
But in the eyes of the Royal Guards at this moment, such an achievement can only be regarded as ordinary.
Because, outside, there were thousands of Manchurians who were chased and driven away like dead dogs. Any soldier of the Ming Royal Guards Regiment with sufficient courage and strength can achieve military feats that were once unimaginable in the Korean state.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingye only had one way of refusing to admit defeat to the Japanese.
Oh......
No, these foreign soldiers who are competing for places in China will not admit defeat.
"Matsui Zhengxue, my Korean boy is also qualified to join the Ming Kingdom and become the orthodox Chinese in China!" Lin Qingye said loudly: "I was able to kill that Huang Taiji's nephew back then, and today, I can also kill more heads than you!" ”
As he spoke, Lin Qingye turned over the Qing general who was stabbed off his horse, and suddenly said loudly: "Haha, my Korean soldier also captured a Manchurian Jiala officer!" ”
"Ahhh Matsui Zhengxue was a little crazy, shouted loudly, didn't care about Lin Qingye, yelled at the Japanese behind him a few times, and led these Japanese samurai to gallop wildly, galloping after those Jurchen soldiers who had disarmed and abandoned the army all the way.
"The wind is so strong...... Gang'an has retreated many times, trying to launch a counter-charge again and again, but finding that the Manchurian warriors around him are becoming more and more chaotic. There are more and more people, but there are fewer and fewer people who dare to fight, and there are more and more Jurchen soldiers who will add chaos and try to escape.
At this time, a gust of wind swept up, and all the flying sand and rocks rushed into Gang'an's body.
"Ah......" There was a scream, and Gang'an fell off his horse.
Behind him, when Guo Xin'a saw this, he couldn't bear it, and led his troops to rush over: "Gushan Ezhen has ordered a retreat, I can't bear to watch Gang'an break alone!" ”
But at this moment, the Ming army on all sides is like sea water, and everything looks like this on all sides.
Coupled with the flying sand and stones, Guo Xin'a just mentioned that he looked over, and found that his eyes were wide, and he saw that the sand and stones in his eyes were all over, and he couldn't open his eyes in an instant: "Ah......"
Guo Xin'a turned over and fell off his horse, and an ordinary Ming soldier shouted excitedly: "I captured a Jurchen Jiala, I captured a Jurchen Jiala!" ”
"God bless the Ming!"
"God bless the Ming!"
"God bless the Ming!"
……
Countless cheers suddenly sounded, and when everyone saw this, the morale of the Ming army suddenly rose. The Ming army pursued all the way over, and the resistance of the Qing army became weaker and weaker, and the pursuit began to become more and more comfortable.
Rumble......
At this time, the thunderclouds in the sky rolled, the sky changed as soon as it changed, and in a blink of an eye, I saw raindrops falling, and then the light rain turned into torrential rain, and the sky seemed to have missed sleep, and the rainstorm condensed in an instant.
Seeing this, Zhu Cihong also knew that the weather of the rainstorm was really not conducive to the pursuit. Immediately ordered to collect the troops, clean up the battlefield, and accept it when it is good.
The Ming army was subsumed into the Weining camp and waited for the rain to return to the sun. There was joy in the barracks, and the Ming army's previously expected plan was half completed.
At the same time, this battle was also the first time for the Royal Guards Regiment to fight against the Qing army. The victory in this battle undoubtedly proves the strength of the Ming army. The Ming army understood that the Zhenghuang Banner was the backbone of the Manchurian Eight Banners, and it was the main force left near Shenyang. This battle severely damaged Zhenghuangqi, which was the completion of the previous plan to weaken the strength of the Qing army to threaten the security of Shenyang and force the Qing army to return to help.
Although the Weining camp is still a little far away from Shenyang, it is precisely because of this that Zhu Cihong can advance step by step, and put the news of fear on Dolgon who is on the expedition to the Ming Kingdom little by little.
This also means that the strategy of the expeditionary corps has been preliminarily completed. How does this not make the Ming army cheer up and down?
For this reason, Zhu Cihong even announced the lifting of the ban and rewarded the army with some of the wine and meat captured on the road.
In the Weining camp, on the evening of September 29, the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Cihong crouched on the table and sorted out his thoughts. For now, the original plan has been largely completed. Without even revealing Zhu Cihong's identity, he successfully let the Qing army attack, thus striking at the Qing army's vital forces, then, it was a matter of time.
This time is for the Qing army to react. Eight hundred miles is urgent, no matter how slow this news is, it will only take two days at most for Dolgon, who is not short of fast horses and standard-bearers.
As for Zhu Cihong himself......
But he needs to cheer his victory even more, and cleanse the evil in Beijing.
Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong wrote a letter to Zhang Zhen, and used the falcon specially trained by Jinyiwei to fly across the sea and hand it over to the people who were close to Jingshi.
