Chapter 73 Rescue the people of Ming Dynasty (4)
The Jin soldiers camped in an open and open space and could not be approached during the day. Although there were only more than 300 Jin soldiers, they could drive thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, just like driving away sheep. No Ming army nearby dared to step forward, and they all hid in the city to defend. The only Zhao Rujiao who dared to fight with the Later Jin army should have encountered the Jin army in the area of Santunying and was blocked near Santunying. The Ming army stationed in Santunying did not dare to open the door and put Zhao Rujiao in the camp.
The main force of the Jin army was divided into two groups, one of which was besieging Zunhua City, and the other was responsible for the aid task to block Zhao Lujiao. This is Huang Taiji's typical tactic of arbitration and aid. According to Li Laoer's estimate, it will not take long for the Jin army to increase troops in the direction of Santun Camp, surround Zhao Lujiao, and eat the Ming cavalry.
It has been a whole day since Da'ankou was recaptured by Li Laoer. Because the Jin army scout cavalry was eaten by Li Laoer's elite at night, so so far, Huang Taiji did not know that Da'ankou was recaptured again, and he still acted according to the original plan.
Huang Taiji's main force was either surrounding Zunhua or dealing with Zhao Shujiao. He only dispatched a few people to sweep the villages near Jizhou, plundering the people, killing people, robbing, setting fires, and doing all kinds of evil. The Jin soldiers who swept through the nearby villages were only a few hundred people, but they were like entering a no-man and were not resisted at all.
Since the Jin army surrounded Zunhua, the small group of Jin troops sent to plunder the population around them and have captured more than 10,000 people. Most of the captured population was sent to the Jin army camp. The strong man was immediately assigned to the auxiliary barracks and together with Baoyi Aha, he was responsible for transporting food, supplies and building siege weapons; women were sent to the Jin army to serve Jin soldiers, and children were also sent to the camp. When they were out of the customs, they were sent to the outside world. When they grew up, the children were Baoyi slaves. All the elderly who were considered useless by the Jin soldiers and were killed.
Even many babies were killed by Jin soldiers. On the one hand, it was because Jin soldiers wanted to commit atrocities on the child's mother. On the other hand, they also felt that it was too difficult to raise babies, so they simply slashed them with one knife or fell to death.
There were also many rebellious men who were ruthlessly slaughtered, and some women who were unwilling to be humiliated chose to commit suicide.
Although Li Laoer's hiding place was five miles away from the 300 Jin army camp, you could hear the miserable screams and the shaking cry of the women in the camp.
He heard the cry of the women in the Jin soldiers camp, He Xing's eyes turned red and he cursed: "Beast! I must have vowed to kill all Jiannu!"
"Brother, don't worry, we will go up until dark." Li Laoer patted He Xing's shoulder and said.
That night, Cao Lei returned with 300 cavalrymen and arrived at the place he had agreed with Li Laoer and the others before.
"Brother, the five hundred brothers who stayed in Da'ankou have taken the villagers back to the village. We gave up Da'ankou and came to meet with our elder brother." Seeing Li Lao Er, Cao Lei immediately reported his affairs.
Li Lao Er nodded and said, "Even if Jiannu reoccupied Da'ankou, it would not be possible to cut off our way in and out of the customs! If they sent people to guard Da'ankou again, we could find a city wall and explode a passage with gunpowder."
However, according to Li Laoer's judgment on Huang Taiji, if Huang Taiji discovered that Da'ankou was taken back and gave up, Huang Taiji would definitely not divide his troops to defend the city, but would simply destroy Da'ankou Pass City, so as to ensure that the Jin army robbed the capital area in the capital area and successfully leave the pass and return to Liaodong.
The winter nights in the north were extremely cold. Li Laoer and four hundred brothers, with the help of the cover of night, quietly approached the Jin army camp five miles away.
Everyone was ambushed in the grass outside the Jin army camp. With the help of the firelight in the Jin army camp, they could clearly see the situation inside: they saw piles of bonfires lit in the Jin army camp, and a large number of people who were captured on the outside, and the middle was the Jin army camp.
Among the four burning bonfires, a group of Jurchen soldiers who took off their hats and exposed their scalp dragged the ugly rat-tail of money, surrounded a poor woman with a lewd smile. The woman was stripped of her clothes by the Jin soldiers and stood in the cold wind and shivered. The Jin soldiers around her burst into laughter and took turns to commit violence. Seeing the big mouth with bad breath open and her mouth full of yellow teeth close to her face, the woman was so scared that she burst into tears, but no matter how she cried, the group of Jin soldiers still did not let her go.
Li Laoer saw a woman with a naked body lying on the cold ground between the bonfire, covered in scars, and didn't know whether she was dead or alive. There were a few babies' swaddling clothes on the snow. It was estimated that the baby had been cruelly killed by the Jin soldiers.
"A bunch of beasts!" He Xing wanted to jump up angrily, but was held down by Li Laoer.
"Brother, don't be impulsive!" Li Laoer pressed the angry He Xing tightly.
Next, Li Laoer whispered to He Xing: "The Tartars placed the looted people outside the camp. If we want to attack, we must first pass through the people. That will alarm these people, make a sound, and make the Tatars alert, and they will have the opportunity to ride on horseback. And there are so many Ming people in the camp, we can't trample on horseback, right? If we give up the war horses, attack the camp on night, and get on horseback for Jiannu and escape, and do not eliminate these Jiannu, how can we take those people away? We can ride horseback and escape by horseback, but if the Tartars ride back, they can't escape any of these people!"
Of course, Li Laoer could step on the camp with four hundred cavalry and horses at lightning speed, so that the Jin soldiers could not even react for time; or he could sneak into the camp with Han Dashan, who had the highest martial arts skills, approach the stable, untie the reins of the war horses, and release all the horses, so that the brothers behind him could rush in, and wipe out the Jin army in one fell swoop.
But no matter which method is used, it will cause chaos among the people. War horses rush around in the camp, and most of these more than 2,000 people will probably die!
If he had brought four hundred brothers to ambush outside the camp for a night, and waited until dawn to get out of the camp, and then attacked them by surprise, he might have all annihilated the Jin soldiers. However, after dawn, Ajige, who was more than ten miles away, might find out the movement. At that time, some of the soldiers were divided to chase him, and no ordinary people he had saved with great difficulty could escape.
How to rescue these people? It is indeed a headache.
Finally, Li Laoer came up with a solution: using the Eight Banners Armor on his body, he had the opportunity to enter the Central Army camp, but to get into the Jin army camp, he first needed to know the Jin army's order tonight.
To obtain a command, at least three prisoners need to be arrested to question. The Jin army camp is in the middle, and the people are all around, so there is no chance to catch the tongue.
As a result, I finally figured out a solution but found it was not easy to use.
