Chapter 1303: The Battle of Dignity (22)
(Please support the new book "Predator", thank you.) )
The taste of escaping is bitter, as the crown prince of the Great Qing Kingdom, Haoge never dreamed that he would fall into such a situation, Fushun must not be able to hold it, regret is useless, if he had made up his mind and led the army to be stationed in Zhenbei Pass, the situation would have been completely different, at least he had taken the initiative.
The most important task is to arrive at Zhenbei Pass and make peace with Ao.
There was no time to make careful arrangements, and there was no time to consider other matters, under the escort of his own soldiers, Haoge galloped wildly, as far away from Fushun as possible, as long as he could reach Tieling smoothly, he would be safe.
The taste of the pursuit is also bitter, and the feeling of urgency is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
He Renlong took the lead, regardless of the darkness, he knew very well that once Haoge escaped, the task of the army could not be completed very well, Huang Taiji did not leave Shenyang, and it was difficult to escape the fate of annihilation in the end, but Haoge left Shenyang, obviously preparing to return to the lair with Houjin Tartar, once entering the white mountain and black water, the Jiangning battalion soldiers are not familiar with the terrain, even if they are encircled and suppressed, they will have to pay a huge price, and the mountains are sparse, it is basically difficult to determine the exact location of Haoge, So now is the best chance to kill or capture Haug alive.
This opportunity cannot be lost.
The 2,000 scout battalion officers under his command are all elites in the army, and they have developed a good ability after many years of reconnaissance career.
Soon the scouts found horseshoe prints, and it was not easy to imagine finding horseshoe prints in the dark.
He Renlong's judgment was accurate, Haoge did go in the direction of Tieling, and did not take the official road and avenue, but fled along the path in the valley.
The terrain in the valley is complex, after dark. The pursuit is even more difficult, but He Renlong will never hesitate, no matter what method Haoge uses to leave Fushun City, there will not be many people around him, as long as he can pursue it, Haoge will definitely have no other chance.
The soldiers of the scout battalion knew even better. Without the slightest hesitation, head towards the valley.
Then the light of the torches and the horseshoe prints kept appearing, in fact, you don't need to look at the horseshoe prints, you can judge from the grass and trees that have been trampled on the path, you can judge that Hauge escaped along the road here.
The speed of the pursuit began to pick up, and He Renlong's heart was in his throat, and the Jiangning battalion set up an ambush position between Tieling and Fushun. Mainly in the official road and avenue, this is no need to question, the large army to reinforce Fushun, it is impossible to come from the trail, so it delays the time, as long as the boss's head is not confused, it is impossible to make the choice to take the trail.
This also indicates that Haug is leaving the valley quickly. Able to avoid the ambush position set up by the Jiangning battalion and successfully reach Tieling. If that situation really occurs, it will be troublesome, even if He Renlong leads the army to attack Tieling, Haoge can continue to escape to Kaiyuan and even Zhenbei Pass.
During the pursuit, there were constant scouts to report according to the freshness of the horse manure. Judging how far away from Haug was, when the pursuit reached Yin, the scouts were delighted to report that the horse manure they found was still steaming, proving that Haug was not far ahead. The distance will not exceed twenty miles.
He Renlong's face began to turn red, and he ordered all the soldiers to overcome all difficulties and be sure to catch up with Hauge before dawn.
After serving as the crown prince, Haoge has not participated in the fight, he is in the palace all day long, assisting Huang Taiji in handling government affairs, and important energy is transferred to the court and politics, unconsciously, the body begins to become bloated, although it is said that the good physique is still alive, but suddenly encountered a fight and a long-distance attack, and the physical strength is a little weak.
When leaving Fushun City, Haoge's heart was sad and angry, as the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty, but he had to escape from Fushun City through the tunnel, such a thing spread, it had a huge impact on the individual, with this kind of sad and indignant emotion, Haoge did not say a word on the way around, but he did not know that the consumption of physical strength was greater.
After more than two hours of running through the valley, Hauge could not hold on.
At rest, a large number of pro-soldiers stood guard around him.
Haoge didn't expect that there might be a pursuit from the Jiangning battalion, he thought that at this time, the fighting in Fushun City was still continuing, it was estimated that after he arrived at Tieling, or arrived at a safe place, the Jiangning battalion could not find out that he had left, and the reason why he was desperately rushing before was because he was aggrieved in his heart and had nowhere to vent.
After stopping, sadness rose from his heart, Hauge looked in the direction of Fushun and wept silently.
There are too many feelings, there is no way to talk about it, and there is no one around to tell it, but at this time, Haoge understands very well that the pressure and burden he is bearing completely exceeds that of his father, I don't know what the situation in Shenyang is, but from the Jiangning battalion to attack the Fushun city The combat effectiveness shown by Shenyang, Shenyang must not be able to hold it, Dai Shan, Dolgon, Duoduo and others, these are all fierce generals of the Great Qing Kingdom, and they all died under the command of the Jiangning Battalion, I don't know what the fate of the Great Qing Kingdom will be in the future.
Hauge sat silently on the side, and the sergeant next to him did not speak, trying to be on guard as much as possible, and they also knew very well that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was definitely in a bad mood at this moment.
When the slightly trembling voice came, the sergeant's face changed, and they sensed that someone was coming. In the middle of the night, there was a sudden sound in the valley, and it was needless to say that someone was chasing after me.
Haug didn't panic, he slowly stood up, got on his horse and prepared to leave.
The pro-soldiers were divided into two groups, one group of sixty people, who stayed in place, with a clear purpose, that is, to fight with the pursuers, delay the time, and the other wave of forty people, accompanied Hauge to evacuate quickly.
However, Hauge never expected that the number of sergeants of the Jiangning battalion who pursued him reached 2,000, and it was also the scout battalion of the elite troops of the Jiangning battalion.
Running all the way again, Haoge even lost his mind, at this time what he wanted to think of was to hurry to Tieling, even if he didn't eat, drink or sleep, he had to rush to Tieling, his responsibilities were different, there could be no mistakes, no accidents, otherwise it meant that the Qing Kingdom completely lost hope.
At three o'clock, it looked like he was about to leave the valley.
Walking out of the valley, less than a hundred miles away, you will reach Tieling, not to mention that the sergeants sent by Aobai are also fighting with the blocking troops of the Jiangning battalion, as long as Haoge increases his strength and holds on for about half an hour, he will be completely safe, and even if there are pursuers behind, there is no need to worry about it.
It's a pity that Haoge's luck is not so good, he is facing the scout camp of the Jiangning camp, and even more so facing He Renlong, who is called a madman, people will definitely not let him go.
The scouts led by He Renlong pursued all the way, after the scouts reported to him, he saw hope and accelerated the pace of the pursuit, and everyone didn't care about the reconnaissance along the road, and rushed forward in one go, leaving behind the sixty Houjin Tartars who were blocked, although they were very brave, although they tried their best, but unfortunately they would not have thought that they were facing two thousand pursuing troops, and it was scouts, they had no chance to resist at all, and they would soon be killed.
The process of fighting was very short, but even in this short time, He Renlong was not willing to delay, the soldiers of the five hundred scout battalions were responsible for killing, and he took the rest of the soldiers to bypass these Houjin Tartars and continue to pursue forward.
Finally, at three o'clock, He Renlong saw the figure of the war horse in front of him.
After being surrounded, Haoge's face was still very calm, he was surrounded by many personal soldiers in the middle, a yellow robe was very obvious, and the yellow robe was embroidered with a flying dragon, which was tantamount to telling his opponent his identity clearly, in the Qing Dynasty, except for Huang Taiji and Haoge, no one dared to wear such clothes, and the prince couldn't.
There is no hope of escaping from Lang, and there are dense Jiangning battalion sergeants all around, and the clothes of Jiangning battalion sergeants are also very peculiar, clothes and pants are separated, and the colors are all green, whether it is an officer or a sergeant, they are all unified.
After losing all hope, Hauge was relieved, perhaps this was fate.
He shouted to the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion around him.
"I am Haoge, the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty, and ask your officers to come out and answer."
He Renlong rode to the front and replied loudly.
"I'm He Renlong from the Jiangning camp, Haoge, are you going to be captured, or do you have to wait until I do it."
"Oh, it turned out to be General He Renlong, known as He Maniac, no wonder, no wonder, I want to ask, how is Fushun City."
"Hauge, don't do any delusions, since I can lead many brothers to chase you, you should know the situation in Fushun City, there is another thing, Sonny has died, and almost all those Manchurians have been captured alive."
Hauge's body shook a little, and He Renlong's words dashed his last hopes.
"I am the crown prince of the Great Qing Kingdom, how can there be any reason to surrender."
Hauge proudly said this, pulled out his steel knife and quickly slashed towards his neck.
A stream of blood spurted out, and the soldiers around Hauge were caught off guard, seeing Hauge kill himself, the rest of the pro-soldiers pulled out their steel knives one after another and slashed towards their necks.
This scene is particularly shocking.
He Renlong remained motionless, watching everyone draw their swords and kill themselves, he knew the rules of Houjin Tartar, Haoge is the master, these people accompany Haoge, if the master loses his life, the entourage will not be alive, not to mention that Haoge is the prince of Houjin.
Seeing Hauge and many post-golden tartars fall in front of him.
He Renlong turned to the sergeant beside him and spoke.
"Protect Hauge's body, and bury the rest on the spot and bury them in the ground."
At this moment, He Renlong, who had been fighting for almost his whole life, suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, he thought of what the emperor had said, no matter what kind of war it is, whether it is justice or injustice, if it can be avoided, try to avoid it, and human beings should stay away from war.
