Chapter 157: Scolding Hauge
When he saw that the other party dispatched the white-armored soldiers to pursue, Wu Sangui knew that the real test was coming.
This "white armor soldier" is not wearing white armor, but a transliteration of the Manchu word "swinging teeth", which means "protecting the army". They were all selected from the warriors in the Niu Lu, and they were actually the most elite troops in the Later Jin Army.
Under normal circumstances, just an ordinary Niu Lu can already solve the battle, so the white armor soldiers are not easy to go out of battle, and are only used as the flag owner's guards. White armor soldiers are only useful if the enemy army is too strong to win with ordinary soldiers, or if the enemy army sneaks up on the commander.
As the "special forces" of the Jurchens, the biggest feature of the white-armored soldiers is that they are wearing triple armor, from the inside to the outside, they are cotton armor, leather armor, and iron armor. With the protection of this triple armor, they are not afraid of bows and arrows at all, and ordinary swords and spears cannot hurt half of their hair, and even bird guns are difficult to penetrate.
And their weapons are also very special, not sharp weapons like knives and guns, but blunt weapons such as axes, maces, and copper hammers. When engaged, it is purely a strong blow to the enemy, and it is impossible to block it with ordinary weapons.
Of course, the use of this weapon requires the strength of a bull, and even the Jurchens are not available to everyone. Therefore, the total number of white-armored soldiers is very scarce, tens of thousands of the Eight Banners, plus the Han Army Banner that was reorganized after surrender, hundreds of thousands of troops, of which there are only about 3,000 white-armored soldiers.
The war horses of the white-armored soldiers are also wearing heavy armor, and their physical strength is also the strongest in the Houjin army, because ordinary horses simply cannot bear such a large load.
When Wu Sangui saw the white-armored soldiers, he knew that there must be a high-ranking Jurchen general chasing after him in person, and he was so anxious that he yelled at Zhu Youzhen: "Your Highness! It's too dangerous here, let's continue to break through to the northeast! ”
Zhu Youzhen looked back and saw a group of Jurchen cavalry surging up from behind him, which was very different from what he had seen before, and the unstoppable momentum and awe-inspiring murderous aura could be felt even from a hundred steps away.
Seeing that these "steel giants" were getting closer and closer, Zhu Youzhen was certainly not stupid enough to want to fight with them, so he hurriedly turned his horse and followed Wu Sangui and galloped down the northeast.
As a result, although they were separated from the main battlefield, they were getting farther and farther away from Qiantun. Wu Sangui just wanted to go around in a circle, and after getting rid of the chasing soldiers, he would go to join Zu Dashou and He Kegang. But he found that the pursuers were reluctant to follow behind, and could only run forward in a straight line, and a slight deviation would bring the distance between the two armies closer.
Just when Wu Sangui had nothing to do and was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, Zhu Youzhen suddenly had an idea and shouted at him: "Is Ningyuan City not far from here?" ”
Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy: "Your Highness! Fortunately, you reminded me, looking at the direction, Ningyuan City is not far ahead, and it will be there in less than ten miles! ”
"Then let's not go back to Qiantun, just go directly to Ningyuan!" Zhu Youzhen said, "Didn't Master Inspector originally want to build Ningyuan? We're in the vanguard! ”
In fact, they were only a few dozen people when they were full, and they didn't have any preparations, so it was naturally impossible to talk about building a city. Moreover, the situation of Ning Yuancheng is not clear now, and he doesn't even know whether he has fallen into the hands of the Houjin army, and going there can only be regarded as luck. In case someone is waiting for work there, Zhu Youzhen can be regarded as throwing himself into the net.
But Hauge in the back chased too closely, and there was no other way to go.
In this way, Zhu Youzhen and Wu Sangui ran in front, and Haoge led the white-armored soldiers to chase closely behind, the two armies were only more than a hundred steps apart, and they ran out of seven or eight miles in one breath, and the head of Ningyuan City could already be vaguely seen in front.
Haoge chased more and more anxiously, secretly thinking that with the horsepower of the white-armored soldiers, the ordinary Ming army had already been caught up. How could such a small group of cavalry in front of him escape so far and seem to be running faster and faster?
In desperation, Hauge picked up his longbow and fired an arrow forward. But this distance was too far, even if Hauge was the best of the Jurchen generals, this arrow only shot about a hundred paces, and before it could reach the enemy's horse's buttocks, it fell weakly under the horse.
Seeing that Haoge's efforts were in vain, the Ming army laughed as he ran.
Hauge was even more annoyed, and while urging his mount, he shouted in Chinese: "You unseeded Han people! Don't run away if you have the ability, and have a good fight with Haugbele! Today you either die or I live! ”
In fact, the Jurchens also had their own language, called "Manchu". However, since the beginning of Nurhachi, in order to learn the advanced culture and things of the Central Plains, the senior Jurchen generals have worked hard to learn Chinese, and even have a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in their hands and read it as a military book. Therefore, although Hauge's Chinese is strange, it can be understood.
Zhu Youzhen heard from a distance that it was Hauge who came to chase after him, and thought to himself that this was not the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and was later killed by Dolgon in the internal turmoil of the Manchu Dynasty? This bloody plot has been repeatedly interpreted in garbage TV series such as "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" in the previous life, even the aunts in the alley know it, but they don't know how high the historical truth is.
Seeing that Haoge would not be able to catch up for a while, Zhu Youzhen made the same old mistake again, and just wanted to get some cheap on his lips. So he turned around and shouted, "Porcupine, you can't kill me, and I can't kill you!" Go home and see, your uncle Dorgon is going to give you a green hat! The old man watched the sky last night, and he had already predicted your life and death, and you would die at the hands of Dolgon! ”
Wu Sangui, who was on the side, was taken aback when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Your Highness, who is Dolgon?" How come the last general has never heard of it? ”
And when Hauge in the back heard it, he immediately exploded in anger!
On the one hand, his name is "Haoge", which means "small earlobe" in Manchu, which is also a common way for Jurchens to name their names. Zhu Youzhen scolded him as a "porcupine", the pronunciation was only a little different, but the meaning was 108,000 miles away. Especially pigs are the stupidest and stupidest, and the Jurchens look down on them the most. If you call someone a "pig", it is even more vicious than scolding his ancestors for 18 generations. Hauge listened, how could he not be angry?
Moreover, Hauge heard Zhu Youzhen mention Dolgon, and said that Dolgon cuckolded him, but it happened to touch his heart.
It turned out that this Dolgon was the fourteenth son of Nurhachi, and he was only thirteen years old this year. Even though the Jurchens matured early, Dolgon was already married and considered an adult, but because he was too young and had never been to the battlefield, Wu Sangui and other Ming generals had never heard of it.
Haoge is the eldest son of Huang Taiji and is twenty years old this year. Although he is older than Dorgon, he is a generation lower, and when he sees Dorgon, he can only respectfully call "Uncle Fourteen".
Originally, this was nothing, but when Nurhachi arranged for the two to marry, they let them marry a pair of twin sisters. Hauge is fighting outside all the year round, and Dolgon is extremely lustful by nature, so he took the opportunity to hook up Hauge's Fujin and play a double fly from time to time, the whole 3P, double battle twin sisters, very happy.
However, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. When Hauge learned of this, he was furious and wanted to fight Dolgon.
But Dolgon said eloquently: "The two Fujin look too similar, the fourteenth uncle just recognized the wrong person, it was definitely not intentional, and I hope the virtuous nephew will not think too much!" If you really can't swallow this breath, let your aunt stay with you for a few days! ”
Hauge was furious when he heard this, and he had to kill Dorgon. Later, he went to Nurhachi, but unexpectedly, the Great Khan of Destiny was extremely fond of the concubine Abahai at this time, and Dolgon was the son of Abahai, who loved the house and Wu, and Nurhachi also loved Dolgon very much. Therefore, instead of punishing Dorgon, Hauge was scolded for "no respect", and almost lost his title of Baylor.
From then on, Hauge and Dorgon became mortal enemies. And because Nurhachi is getting old, the competition for inheritance is very fierce. As Nurhachi's favorite son, Dolgon, although young, is likely to inherit the throne.
Hauge has always been ambitious, and has long secretly made becoming the Great Khan his goal. But if Dorgon became the Great Khan, Hauge's father, Huang Taiji, would have to stand aside, and Hauge would have no hope. As a result, Hauge became even more resentful of Dolgon, and even had the idea of assassinating him. It's just that he is afraid of Nurhachi's authority, so he doesn't dare to do it easily.
At this time, Zhu Youzhen was just talking nonsense, and what kind of "watching the sky at night" was even more full of guns. But these words happened to speak of Haoge's heart, and this Jurchen has always been superstitious. Of course, Haoge didn't know Zhu Youzhen, and he thought he was really a fortune teller or something.
Hauge was furious at the thought that Dorgon had not only slept with his wife, but might also kill himself in the future. He suddenly felt a churn in his chest, tried to suppress but couldn't, and finally grinned, spurted out a mouthful of blood, screamed and fell under the horse, and fell unconscious!
The white-armored soldiers behind Hauge saw that Baylor was scolded by a young man in the enemy army, and they were so angry that they vomited blood and fell off their horses, and they all panicked and stopped their horses. The nearest few personal guards hurriedly rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, rescued Hauge, pinched the person again, and beat the back, and finally let Hauge breathe a sigh of relief and wake up leisurely.
I saw that Hauge's face was pale, his lips trembled uncontrollably, and he trembled: "Kill me... Kill me all... Kill them all! Especially that... The guy who scolded Ben Baylor! ”
When the Ming army on Zhu Youzhen's side saw this scene, they all laughed wildly, and secretly admired this His Royal Highness King Xin, who didn't need a knife or an arrow, and only said a few words, and scolded the enemy chief under the horse!
And Zhu Youzhen saw that Haoge was down, and he was overjoyed, and secretly said that the plot of those bloody TV series was true! At this time, when he saw that the psychological offensive was working, he was willing to let Hauge go, so he shouted to the surrounding Ming army: "You all shout with this king!" Dolgon! Dolgon! ”
Although the Ming army didn't understand what he meant, he also shouted after Zhu Youzhen.
And Hauge on the opposite side had just woken up, and when he heard the sound of "Dolgon" rising wave after wave, he was so angry that blood spurted wildly, and he fainted again!
