Chapter 15: Outside the Plug
The air in Ningwuguan here is a little scorching. This kind of burnt smell can also be found in another scene, for example, the beef is grilled on a large fire to the extent that it is charred. Charred as charcoal, stinking like corpses in hell.
There were no cattle on the walls of Ningwu Pass, and some were just people who were fighting.
They fought to defend the Guancheng in the northern part of the empire and the Jingshi behind the Guancheng.
……
"I don't care how difficult it is for you to convince many people, in short, today, I have to feed my soldiers! Otherwise, Lao Tzu raided your home, and I want to see how much you deducted from the military salary you worked so hard to get! A roar resounded in the General's Mansion.
Not long after, Zhou Yuji, the chief soldier of Shanxi, put on armor, left the mansion and walked to the city.
At this moment, the city is full of people.
As soon as you walk up to the city, you can see burnt meat, cooked meat. The former is dead, and the latter is still breathing.
These are the people who died in battle on and off the city.
Boiling hot oil poured down on the city, and underground, countless rockets were waiting to fly up the sky.
Datong, which is close to the grassland, has no rain one after another, and the dry air makes people want to get angry, and there are also those that are overwhelming and swallowing everything...... War.
The war has been stained in Ningwu Pass for two days, and for two days and nights, four rounds of soldiers have been changed in the small Guancheng under the fire of this continuous battle.
But there is one kind of soldier that has never been changed.
This is a veteran, the real backbone of the Ming border army.
The border army of the Ming Dynasty was extremely hard. This kind of hard work not only means that you are not recognized spiritually, but also that it is difficult to survive physically. Under such circumstances, the veterans who can follow Zhou Yuji all the way to the present have their own unique skills, which will be maintained by Zhou Yuji little by little, until now.
Wang Sanwan is such a veteran.
He silently glanced at the red banner that hung on the head of the city, and from here to the green flag at the corner of the wall was where his men were to guard.
This war zone is actually numbered, but Wang Sanwan can't read, so he uses flags instead. The illiteracy of not knowing a single word did not affect Wang Sanwan's battle.
He was tall and long, tall and tall, and long with long hands and long feet. Such a body shape is naturally conducive to being a marksman, and he was fortunate to have generals along the way to protect him as a private soldier, and he became a marksman in the army by relying on someone to take care of him along the way.
At this moment, he was holding a longbow and patrolling the city walls, crouching behind the walls from time to time. Every time Wang Sanwan squatted down, his eyes were closed, making people not know whether he was resting in the tense battle or thinking about something. But the only thing that is certain is that when the time of closing his eyes for two or three breaths has passed, Wang Sanwan, who has opened his head and shot arrows, has already been shot in one go, and the long arrows are fired, and there will be an enemy general wearing iron armor under the city wall who shouts orders to the end.
That's right, Wang Sanwan never kills nobodies, he specializes in staring at the enemy's commander and the brave.
Relying on this superb archery skill, he quickly became famous in the army. And because every meal must eat three bowls, Wang Sanwan got such a name again, and over time, no one remembered his real name.
When Zhou Yuji went to the city, Wang Sanwan exhaled slightly, looked at the recruits who were staring at him, and said, "Little cubs, this life can be kept overnight." ”
"Master Bowl, what are we going to do here?" A young junior held a dry red tassel gun tightly in his hand and stared at Wang Sanwan.
"What are you waiting for, hurry up and cut off a few heads, and you can find the chief soldier to receive the reward at night! Kill a few more traitors, and you will have the money to marry your mother-in-law! If you are slow, you will have to let the group of guards in the General Military Mansion take the lead! Hahaha......" Wang Sanwan laughed, stretched his bow and waited for an arrow, and when he got up, an arrow was shot, and a miserable scream sounded again under the city as promised.
Then, a burst of dense footsteps came, and Wang Sanwan's expectation came true. After Zhou Yuji went to the city, the family members around him also began to fight. Several city walls that climbed up to the top of the city were pushed back one after another, and in the midst of cheers, the cloud ladders stretched up from under the city were pushed one after another. This time, the Shun army under the head of the city surprisingly did not continue to fight back and forth.
There was no cheering, the young young student next to Wang Sanwan just now sat behind the city wall, looked at Wang Sanwan who was resting with his eyes closed, and said softly: "Master Bowl...... Did you sleep? ”
"Hmm......? I said, seven babies, it's hard to finish this battle, you little cub don't let Lao Tzu sleep, do you let Lao Tzu find his mother-in-law to play? This is not Datong City, and I am tired of going to those private kilns. As he spoke, a snoring sound.
The young offspring who was called the seventh baby is Wang Sanwan's family of the same clan, with the same surname, because he came out of the same place, although he didn't know each other before, but since he had this relationship on the battlefield, he was also familiar with a lot. The seventh child in the family of the seven children, and there is no big name, they are all shouting from the king and the king.
Wang Qi's heart was full of words, and when he saw Wang Sanwan's disgust at this time, he suddenly didn't dare to speak. With a move in his heart, Wang Qi suddenly wanted to poke his head out.
Before Wang Qi could see it, at this time, a hand suddenly reached over and pressed Wang Qi's head down.
Immediately after, a sound of breaking the sky sounded, and a feathered arrow flew and skimmed against the wall. Wang Qi touched his head, feeling that it was cold on it, and if he was one step later, his head would have to move multiple times.
"Mother, this is targeting me. This group of anti-thieves is not dead yet! As he spoke, Wang Sanwan reached over to take the bow and was about to open the bow to shoot an arrow, but halfway through the action, Wang Sanwan silently took it back.
"The arrow is gone...... Wang Qi looked carefully.
Under the city, a shout sounded: "Listen to the Ming army at the head of the city!" Now that Emperor Dashun has personally conquered and killed, everyone in the world has followed. You wait for the stubborn resistance, and the result is only annihilation. On the day of the breaking of the city, it will be called Ningwuguan chicken dog not to stay! If you surrender early, you can still leave Ning Wu Cangsheng's life! ”
"Anti-thief!" Wang Sanwan thought about it, and slowly exhaled a breath: "It's okay." ”
Wang Qi poked his head out again, and under the head of the city, the Shun army slowly retreated. The archers had already taken the lead in retreating, putting away their longbows. The rest of the foot soldiers dragged the corpses on the ground away from the battlefield.
At the head of the city, more and more soldiers stood up and looked at the scene in front of them. No cheers, no cheers. Everyone knows that this war is only suspended, far from over.
It wasn't until Zhou Yuji inspected step by step and walked in front of Wang Sanwan in person that the atmosphere in the city was a little warmer.
"Wang Sanwan sent a ......"
"I heard that the blood of the king was born."
"Anyway, the reward is here, and the previous military salary should be made up, what else can we say about eating as soldiers?"
"This time, Wang Sanwan slaughtered a few, I'm afraid I can be promoted......"
……
Zhou Yuji took out a small wooden box from the hands of the guards beside him. The small wooden box is exquisitely made, with the sun and moon dragon pattern engraved on it, and the whole is as red as blood, strong and eager.
"Wang ...... Fogen? This is your name. Come, take it, this is your feat. It was distributed from the Beijing Division and Military Department to the border towns of various departments, and my Shanxi Town naturally also had it. This is a second-class meritorious service medal, and from now on, one will be issued every three days to the person with the most military merits. Take this, and in the future, you will have one more person in your family who will not be required to serve in the levy. Not only that, in the future, with second-class merit, he will not kneel when he sees an official. In addition, the second-class merit will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver! ”
In a gasp of cheers, a heavy box was thrown in front of Wang Fugen.
"Mark, thank you for the reward!" Wang Fugen continued slowly.
There was a commotion from everyone: "Master Bowl, you have to have a treat!" A reward of five hundred taels is enough for how many acres of land? ”
"How many meals can you eat? How many private kilns can you enter? ”
"Congratulations to the bowl master!"
"Haha, you bunch of shit, just thinking about this. If you want to eat flower wine, Lao Tzu will accompany you! Wang Sanwan laughed, and the atmosphere was cheerful in Ningwu Pass.
……
At the same time, the grassland more than 100 miles north of Datong is full of people. The whole earth shook slowly.
This is the right flag of the Chahar front flank.
That's right, this is the place of the Mongols.
To be precise, it is the place of southern Mongolia. The former Mongol Empire has long since disappeared, and it was divided and declined after being expelled from the grassland by the Ming Dynasty, and after the defeat of the last Han Lin Dan Khan of the golden family where Monan Mongolia was located, it made Monan Mongolia have surrendered to the Qing State and became a member of the Qing camp.
And now, there is a hustle and bustle in the grassland.
Ten kings Duoduo looked at this scene and smiled slightly. This is his masterpiece.
In front of him was a force of more than 30,000 men.
These people came from all over the steppe, and they no longer referred to each other as a tribe, but as an organized army under the command of a powerful empire: the Eight Banners of the Great Qing Mongols!
Mongolia Yellow Flag, Mongolia Yellow Flag, Mongolian White Flag, Mongolia White Flag......
They all have a unified prefix, the Eight Banners of the Great Qing Kingdom. Through the Eight Banners system, Duoduo gathered more than 27,000 herdsmen from all over the Mongolian steppe and organized these skilled knights into an army.
Now, they had gathered at the right banner of the Chahar front flank, waiting for the review of the Duoduo.
Zasakbayin of the Ijin Horo Banner led the rest of the Forty-Nine Mongolian Banners Zasak to Duoduo and stood silently.
At Duoduo's side, a young and heroic Mongolian knight rode forward and dismounted in front of Duoduo. This person is none other than Bayin's son Balhalla: "His Royal Highness Prince Yu, the whole army of the Mongolian Eight Banners has been prepared here, waiting for His Highness's order." ”
Duoduo bared his teeth and smiled: "Under the leadership of Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Tulai, the whole army will open and attack Datong!" ”
"We are commanded!" By Duoduo's side, a Manchu general with a fierce face and a beard shouted his orders.
Later, when the Mongol kings heard this, they suddenly promised: "We will receive the order!" ”
Bayin and Balhalla shouted one after another: "We will receive the order and kill the Ming Kingdom!" ”
……
An order was given, and Wanfu obeyed. The Mongol army in front of Duoduo rode their hips and surged towards the south. It is said that there are no boundless shores for people immediately, and when the number of people reaches 30,000, it is no longer boundless and boundless. The whole grassland is full of people, and as far as the eye can see, it seems that the end of the whole world is still people.
To give an order in such a place, it is necessary to have more than a dozen strong men around to shout in unison as a microphone.
After a command, one after another, it spread everywhere, as if the whole world was such an order.
In such a shocking scene, Duoduo was slightly intoxicated by his own power.
But soon, his immersion was interrupted.
He sounded a person: "Wu Sangui...... Ah, Wu Sangui. The Mongolian thing has been settled, then, you ...... Still unwilling to surrender? ”
"Hmph...... Since I am already a person of the Qing Dynasty, and I am still pretending, I can only be a shameless person. With a thought in his heart, Duoduo rode his horse east.
Soon, Wu Sangui will be able to receive the news.
……
Shanhaiguan.
No one knew what Zhang Zhen and Wu Sangui said, in short, it was as if Zhang Zhen had never appeared in Shanhaiguan, and no one could hear his voice again.
Shanhaiguan gradually has a strong movement.
After half a year of silence, Dolgon decided not to give Zhu Cihong any relief.
Due to the dire situation in the country, Dorgon did not have the strength to mobilize the whole country at the time of the agricultural rush. You must know that unless they are top aristocrats, most ordinary Manchus also have to farm and cultivate the land, especially after the Han people fled freely.
There was no sound of swords and soldiers in the land of Liaodong in the Great Qing Dynasty, but when a truckload of only remaining military assets arrived in the Liaoxi Corridor in the efficient system of the Manchu militarism, the horn of war quickly sounded in the territory of King Sanshun. As if contagious, the various departments of the Guanning Army also began to prepare military supplies.
Seeing this situation, Kong Youde and the three quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the Guanning army is really about to start attacking Daming.
"Seven days ......" Wu Sangui turned to look at the scene behind him: "In just seven days, will it really be useful to delay my Guan Ningjun for seven days?" Now, there are only five days left before the troops are dispatched. I can only delay for five days. Between the Ming and Qing dynasties, who is the winner? Wrong...... There's another Shun army. ”
Wu Sangui understood that in Dorgon's eyes, he would not think that a mere Guanning army and the Han army of King Sanshun could be driven by a small number of Manchu troops to capture the Manchus.
What Dolgon did was nothing more than strategically flank the front and back so that the Shun army could attack smoothly, accelerate the weakening of the Ming Dynasty, and even ...... Perish.
Historically, almost every entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was accompanied by the encirclement and suppression of the peasant army in the Ming Dynasty to the stage of imminent success.
Now, too.
……
Li Jiantai arrived at Jingcheng Pass, and not long after, some people also returned to Jingcheng Pass.
Li Maochun is not a world-famous general, Xu Biaozhi knows this, and Li Yan knows this even better. But everyone knows better the importance of consolidating the customs under Li Maochun.
As a general, Li Maochun is the highest general in the vicinity of Guguan except for Jingcheng Pass.
In the eyes of the soldiers above and below Guguan, this good-looking Shangguan seems to have some ability.
Soon, another action allowed them to subvert this impression.
It seems that Li Maochun also thinks that he has good abilities, oh no...... It's very nice.
Li Maochun beat the drum to gather the generals, looked around at his subordinates, and said with hundreds of sturdy soldiers behind him: "I am determined to lead the three soldiers and horses of Wei Ze Pass, Xingu Pass and my pass, and personally go to meet the Li Yan Department for a while, it is really as powerful as the legend!" (To be continued.) )
