Chapter five hundred and twelve. No mercy

There is an old saying that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall! In this regard, Huang Taiji's sense of crisis is simply amazing. If it is common sense, Mao Jue's army will be at least two days away, but as soon as he learned that the reinforcements from the vassal states in the north arrived, he directly abandoned the remaining 100,000 troops and led the senior management of Jianzhou, and the descendants of the Jueluo family turned around and fled.

More than 100,000 troops! If you say you abandon it, you will abandon it! This kind of courage has surpassed that of a hero who cuts his arm, and it is not something that ordinary people can do!

The Qing army commanded by Huang Taiji and the Qing army without Huang Taiji were not at the same level, but the results were also reduced to one level! The Qing Dynasty's spirit was almost hollowed out, leaving only half of the dead-end shell of Liaodong, Haoge was not a defender. As for the later generations of the pass, Shunzhi, who entered the pass, could not support the scene. Going south again, for Mao Jue, it was to destroy the corruption and decay.

But if Huang Taiji escaped back to Shengjing, his backbone was there. The Qing Dynasty still had tens of thousands of troops. If the Jianzhou Jurchen people were more than 300,000, they would be able to make Dongjiang do anything. After all, they were struggling to death. It would be possible to fight a cruel siege for one or two years.

Mao Jue himself found it ridiculous. In the morning, he laughed at Huang Taiji and Lian Po for being old and didn't even have the courage to come out to fight him. After a long time of trouble, it was the delaying plan of others. It has been more than ten hours since waiting for the army to encircle. If he had started to escape last night, the light cavalry might have bypassed Shen Rong's left-wing army. The Songliao area is full of vast plains, where can I chase it?

"What a big deal, why didn't you say yesterday?"

Sun Chuanting's mouth was a little angry. He was the front-line coach! I also defected and defected to him in the early morning yesterday. He didn't know such important information in advance. This was his dereliction of duty and he slapped the table. Sun Chuanting suddenly stood up and roared angrily.

His head was almost drooping into his crotch. This famous Qing Dynasty minister Quail in history books knelt on the ground like a trembling person. Before surrendering, I was very happy to make a plan. After all, the Qing army was famous, and tens of thousands of people swept the entire Ming Empire. If Huang Taiji was in charge here, his betrayal would obviously be of greater value. Seeing that the Qing Dynasty was about to collapse, I might even get a good place in the Xin Dynasty.

But who knew that Mao Jue was so confident that he didn't even give him a chance to surrender. In a mess, he mistakenly opened all his trump cards.

But not only did this late news fail to play any negotiating role, it seemed to have angered the other party. Moreover, if the news of Huang Taiji's absence was not revealed, the Qing army might be able to hold on for a while, even if they were driven back, they could survive for a while, but now, a disaster is coming.

Life and death were all in Mao Jue's thoughts. The smooth forehead was like a braised egg that had just taken out of the refrigerator, all covered with sweat beads.

The entire tent was chaotic for a few seconds. A cough suddenly sounded, and the entire military tent was silent again in an instant. Including Sun Chuanting, all the arrogant soldiers and generals clasped their fists and stood up to listen. Mao Jue's power was clearly displayed.

"Sumu Guerrilla, you will immediately lead five hundred cavalry to chase east!"

"The last general will receive the order!"

At present, we can only make up for the loss! After saying that, Sumu Yertai turned around without any delay. Although this order failed to win the next decisive battle, it was also a sign of great trust that could be given to him, the Jurchen Emperor. What's more, this was also a big bet. If Huang Taiji was really captured or his head was cut off, the credit would not be comparable to that of a few more thirty taels.

In a blink of an eye, the horse's hooves rang out of the tent quickly. Now Mao Jue was considered a qualified commander. His shock and some negative emotions were cleared out of his mind, and his eyes fell on the situation of the war once again.

"Can't wait any longer! The troops immediately went back to rectify the troops. Half an hour later, the entire army launched a general attack, and the Mao spear was sent to Chen Rong. I promised that his vanguard position would still be effective. If he could not go to the battlefield within half an hour, I would replace him!"

The loser is always upset about the past, while the successful one is facing the future. Huang Taiji faced his own failure calmly and could do the act of abandoning the 100,000 army. What is the biggest challenge for Mao Jue to overcome this threshold? The most urgent task now is to seize time and solve the main force of the Qing army in the shortest time, and then the entire army advanced and headed straight to Shengjing City, without giving Huang Taiji any preparation time.

As soon as this order was issued, neither Kong Youde nor Wen Meng could help but show a sense of joy. To be honest, this was very unfair to Chen Rong. His left army was responsible for the task of circumventing and interception. When Mao Jue's army was resting, his troops were still moving eastward. From yesterday morning to now, it can be said that he had not had a rest for a moment.

But this is a decisive battle with Jiannu! Even if all military utilitarian interests are eliminated, this name is trembling with excitement! Sorry, Brother Chen, I can only invite him to drink in the future! Today, the Pioneer Brothers are determined to win!

Everyone was going out and preparing to go, and only Sun Chuanting and a big bald man kneeling on the ground were left in the tent. This time, the series of things that were imprisoned and then "exiled" to Dongjiang was obviously frustrated by Sun Chuanting's straightforward personality. Until everyone left, he said the words he held in his abdomen.

"General! The Qing army is already without a leader, why do you still have to fight this battle? This army can be regarded as a tiger and wolf army. If it is acquired, it will definitely be considered a powerful force! Once the world changes..."

It seems that Sun Chuanting is really completely inclined to the Dongjiang side, and his words are no longer as simple as taboos. However, what Sun Chuanting said makes sense, just like Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who was a man-eating beast soldier like the Huaiyou Army, as long as he could use it, Zhu Yuanzhang surrendered without hesitation, even if the Ming army was given the title of being a man-eating person.

Now that Huang Taiji has run away, the Qing army on the front line is undoubtedly panic, and with the help of the insider in front of him, it may not be impossible to surrender most of them. If the Qing army in front of him is surrendered, in the future, whether facing the Ming army or the peasant army, the unparalleled Eight Banners Iron Cavalry will be a sharp blade.

This is also the reason why he couldn't wait to bring Ning Wan back today, but in the end, Mao Jue ordered the war without hesitation.

If Sun Chuanting had a straightforward temper, he would have asked this doubt in person at the military meeting. Even if Mao Jue was so irritating that he could not come to the stage, he would have to ask the bottom of the matter. But now, he has been a little more slick and has not damaged Mao Jue's authority. Until everyone left, he advised him in the form of a problem.

Not to mention, Mao Jue was stunned for a moment, just like he refused Ning Wan, and he had never thought about surrendering him!

After a moment of surprise, a smile suddenly appeared on Mao Jue's face, and he nodded with a smile at Sun Chuanting.

"I don't know what will happen in the future? Now, I will still be the Liaodong governor of the Ming Dynasty for thousands of miles of the country!"

Similarly, Mao Jue's words also surprised Sun Chuanting.

…………

It was around four o'clock in the afternoon since the arrival of the morning. Although it was not dark yet, the sun was still hanging heavily on the horizon. The Qing army, who had been panicking for a day, finally relaxed a little.

Although there were night wars in the age of cold weapons, most wars still occurred during the day. Night wars had too high requirements for tacit understanding among troops. Most night wars were just small troops launching surprise attacks at night. Night wars of 300,000 people were almost unimaginable.

At the outermost periphery, Niu Lue, who was from Zhenglan Banner, sat lazy behind Luzhai in the camp. He fumbled out of his arms and found half a pack of cigarettes. However, in this era, there were neither matches nor lighters. He used the scythe to squirt several times, and then he lit the cigarettes early with the sparks.

This cigarette was pressed into his mouth, but he took out another one from the precious half-box cigarette and handed it to a boy beside him.

This is also the sorrow of these minority overlords in the Chinese civilization circle. Indeed, they are strong in combat, cruel and fierce, but they are far from being the opponent of the Chinese Empire in terms of resilience. For example, the Ming Empire has experienced the failure of many decisive battles in the Daling River in Liao, Shenyang, Guangning, and Daling River. The two generations of Emperors of Tianqi Chongzhen squandered the blood of many soldiers during the period, but even in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Empire still had the power to fight.

But the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, who invaded the Central Plains, suffered a loss once in the Battle of Dongjiang, and the sequelae were revealed. The lack of personnel forced the Qing Empire to go all out. Even the boy who was not as tall as a gun must follow him to the battlefield.

This is his first time in battle.

Not to mention him, even if he is not the case, Zhang Jing, who is from Benniulu, died in battle one after another, and it was his turn to be on the top of the team.

He was obviously extremely nervous. It was not like this old cigarette gun like Niu Luezhen, holding a cigarette roll in his mouth. The kid didn't suck in the cigarette, but was choked and coughed for several times, and tears came out.

"You boy!"

Enjoyed the Yan turned around several circles in his lungs. Lao Niulu shook his head with a smile, and pressed the little man's head.

But immediately, the boy stubbornly sucked two more puffs of cigarettes, coughed, but asked in astonishment.

"Well, Master! Why!"

"It doesn't mean that people are lambs to be slaughtered. As long as we men of the Eight Banners take swords to harvest, will they kneel down and be robbed as coat slaves? Why? They killed so many of us but didn't kneel down. Instead, more people came to attack us?"

"Can the emperor take us to win? Can we return to Shengjing alive?"

The cigarette butts were burning at the tip of his fingers, but the Niulu Zhangjing no longer cared about sucking it. Yes! Once upon a time, they carried bloody swords and were rampant in the Central Plains, and they broke into the homes of the Ming people with laughter. They could easily plunder a large amount of money and food, and they could also bring those Ming people back to be coated slaves and farm and raise cattle for them. That life was so relaxed and comfortable.

But why did these Ming people turn from lambs to hungry wolves in a blink of an eye?

Yes! Can you go back alive? Even if you don’t go down the fields before you raise your army with Lao Khan, you can go down to the fields and harvest those crops, and then hunt in winter to catch some martened rabbits for food!

Suddenly, a violent vibration shook a large piece of the cigarette roll seen by his finger, and interrupted Niu Lu'er's real thoughts. He jumped up in surprise and looked out of Luzhai. A stream of white smoke evaporated on the Dongjiang position. Then, the second and third flames roared and exploded. In his ears, the eardrums were like millions of ants crawling over. Dragging its ominous black tail, shrapnel parabolas fell into the sky above his head, and then itched and stinging.

The calm brought by the smoke disappeared completely, and a face full of frost wrinkles was filled with fear, just like the people of the Central Plains who had faced the massacre of the Eight Banners, the trembling voice burst out from the throats of Niu Lu Zhangjing.

"Ming Dynasty..., the Ming Dynasty attacked!"

More than 800 cannons had a shocking effect. Each shell was activated, which seemed to tremble a little. When the artillery bombardment sounded, this earth-shaking force always made the morale of the Dongjiang Army rise.

Even though the front army artillery array had been replaced with men's armor, Sun Chun's face was still red with excitement. In her pupils, the flashing light and fire of shrunks falling into the Qing army camp like a meteor shower. Under the power that was almost comparable to that of the gods, a group of Qing army small like ants, screamed and fled in all directions.

The nightmare that once lingers the Liao people also has such a miserable time.

The artillery had just ended that gap. To the west of the battlefield, a large amount of smoke and dust emerged. Although they had been marching for two days and one night, and were exhausted, the Kuye Town Corps, which was fighting the vanguard, still arrived at the offensive battlefield truthfully. In countless small square formations, the infantry held the flintlock rifle at hand, and the military boots that were striding forward were like the tracks of tanks, and they were also uncontrollable. Mao Jue ordered the front-line commanders to stay in the center of the military formation to command the army, but Shen Rong, who had always been obedient, disobeyed this military order and ran to the forefront.

Waving the command knife forward, the old Liaodong's pupils were burning with angry lights and his hoarse voice still kept roaring.

"Brothers! Have you forgotten the blood debt of Liaoyang? Have you forgotten the broken Jingji Zhili under the horse's hooves of these beasts? Have you forgotten the bloody storm they caused? The time for them to pay them back! I, Shen Rong, my family of thirty-one died in the Liaoyang fire! I left my hometown like a dog, and was driven to the isolated island of Pidao by these beasts! I want to take revenge with my own hands!"

"revenge!!!"

All the people who took the lead were old Liao people, but even those refugees in the pass were not robbed and killed by Jiannu's invasion, let alone the Liao Ven, which forced everyone to leave their hometowns, wasn't it just these guys who took it? Hatred was like a sharp blade of ice, penetrated straight into the panicked Qing army after the shelling amid the angry roar.

Cracking, a burst of white smoke evaporated, and then there was a rushing shout. Kuye Army, holding a bayonet, rushed into the Qing army formation frantically, especially Chen Rong, whose eyes were blood red, and his sharp command knife was cutting paper into the scared Qing army's throat, and blood suddenly gushed out.

Not only Shen Rong's troops, before the Qing army on the front line recovered from the left hook in Kuye Town this season, Shen'er, in the smoke of gunfire on the entire cannon, countless infantry holding bayonets rushed up magnificently. There were too many generals who made exceptions today. Kong Youde, who was waving a big knife with both hands, Geng Zhongming, who was half as big as a flower in Hebei, stole a horse and rushed into the infantry formation. With unforgivable hatred, Dongjiang troops rushed into the formation, and immediately caused a bloody storm.

Those who kill people will always kill them! It’s time to pay it back!

The night was getting deeper and deeper. Outside the city wall, the shouts of killing were still deafening. After walking around the city for most of the time, Sun Chuanting, who was thinking, finally returned to his military formation.

"General Jun!"

The heavy railway bridge gate was opened, but it was in full swing. Yuan Dabao and dozens of military generals were waiting there. Looking at Sun Chuanting's figure, Yuan Dabao and others couldn't wait to greet him.

Indeed, there is a superior who uses all means to do things for the country, and the hope of winning will be greater, but a real man will do something and not do anything! Everyone hopes that he will follow a righteous lord, and for his power to forgive these murderers who once had bloody hands. Obviously Mao Jue can't do it! He is also the Liaodong governor, so he is irrelevant with these Liaodong robbers!

Although his suggestion was rejected, Mao Jue's choice was undoubtedly closer to the justice in Sun Chuanting's heart. Especially from the flashing pupils of the soldiers under his command, Sun Chuanting understood Mao Jue's determination to make this order. He nodded without hesitation at Yuan Dabao's expectant eyes.

"The general is destined to attack the enemy Zhengbai Banner from behind! You can march!"

"Entertainment!!!"

A few minutes later, the same angry shouts also sounded in the standing Wula City of Jilin. The same new and old hatreds, the same eyes, and the same anger, the bayonet stabbed the Jiankui hard into the chest of the Zhengbai Banner.
