Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 967 No way out
"Withdraw all troops from Sanhe, Anci, Tongzhou, and Xianghe to rest and replenish!"

"Distribute all the captured muskets and artillery, and equip them with two yellow flags and the most elite Jia La with a red flag!"

"All the Guan Ning troops on the front line of Badaling were transferred back!"

"Use every knife, every musket, and every cannon, and we will fight the enemy to the death in Wanping!"

"Everyone, cheer up! This is a life-and-death battle, and we must win! Only by winning the Qing Dynasty will we have a chance of survival. If we lose, we will die without a place to die. Even if we want to return to Liaodong It is not possible to be a savage in the deep mountains and old forests!"

After retreating, Zu Dashou silently walked out of the Golden Hall, he was in a trance, his feet were light and heavy, and it was really worrying that he would fall down.Wu Xiang was similar, with a pale and dazed expression, as if sleepwalking.Huang Taiji's words echoed in their ears like thunder, shaking their hearts and making them restless.

This is to gamble everything for a decisive battle with Heluo's new army, right?The elite soldiers accumulated through untold hardships, the confidantes painstakingly cultivated, the muskets and cannons that were finally obtained, all pressed up, and fought to the death with the Heluo New Army. If you lose, you will lose everything. It can only let them survive in Beijing a little longer!They bear eternal infamy, treason and collaborating with the enemy, their fame has been wiped out, and many sons, nephews and relatives died in battle. Is this what they want?Jesus, that's not what they wanted!
When stepping down the golden steps, Wu Xiang staggered. If Wu Sangui hadn't caught him in time, he would have fallen a lot.This staggering made him wake up a bit, and he lowered his voice and said to Zu Dashou: "Fuyu, it's not good!"

Zu Dashou looked a little sad, smiled shyly, and said: "Yeah, it's not good... The Abatean army is probably finished, and the 3 horses in Cangzhou were crucified by the Sichuan army." Now, although the troops in the Anci, Sanhe, and Xianghe areas can be transferred back, I am afraid they will not be able to get rid of the pursuit of the new Heluo army, let alone the troops in the direction of Badaling. The strategic location is lost, Lei Shisheng's army can follow and chase, or cut across, cut off the connection between Beijing and the Chengde garrison, and turn Beijing into the most complete isolated city... Not to mention that Tianjin and Tangshan have been lost, and they are in decline It's so obvious, it's as dangerous as a pile of eggs!"

Wu Xiang lowered her voice: "Then what should we do? We didn't turn to the Qing court to gamble all our money and fight to the death for this gang of slaves! Now that the Qing court is about to come to an end, we have to find a way to find them." way out!"

Zu Dashou's expression became more and more desolate. He stopped, looked up at the sky, and remained silent for a long time before he said, "Where is there any way out for us? We have completely lost our reputation by taking refuge in the Qing court. The champion Hou Na His jealous nature will never let us go! Even if he can let us go, he will deprive us of all rights and let us go back to the countryside and become a villager who can bully even the village chief. What's the smell? That's all, let's do it like this, fight to the end, and let the champion know how powerful we are!"

Wu Xiang waved his arms and shouted: "No, you absolutely can't do this! That kid is purely crazy. He never cares about the loss of his own strength when he fights, and he doesn't care about what kind of benefits he can get from this battle. Once on the battlefield, he only knows how to fight until the enemy is completely defeated! In a decisive battle with him, even if we can defeat him, or even kill him, our strength will be exhausted. Kill us, and then swallow our remaining strength in one gulp, by then, our decades of business will be in vain!"

Wu Sangui also said: "That's right, uncle, the second and third uncles are serving in the Heluo New Army, and they are very trusted by the champion? Why don't you try to meet them and ask them to go through the needle and show the champion Mind? Champion Hou has only [-] people around him, but he has to face [-] to [-] enemy troops. He must feel guilty. As long as we express our willingness to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and help him defeat Jiannu, he will definitely put aside the past grievances and cooperate with us. Then we will have a chance!"

Wu Sangui has always been arrogant and arrogant. Few of the younger generation of Ming army generals can fall into his eyes, but Yang Menglong can fall into his eyes. Unfortunately, he only has jealousy and hatred for Yang Menglong, and he just wants to kill him. If you want him to bow his head to Yang Menglong, it will be extremely difficult.But now he is a champion one at a time, and he actively suggested to cooperate with Yang Menglong, which only shows that he is really afraid, and only thinks about how to save his wealth and life, and he doesn't even think about how to become famous and become famous!

Alas, the situation is stronger than people...

Zu Dashou whispered: "Are they Da Bi and Da Le?"

Wu Xiang said: "That's right, aren't they the generals whom Champion Hou relies heavily on? As long as they say a few good words in front of Champion, things will turn around!"

Zu Dashou was silent for a long time, and then said after a long while: "I will try my best, and I'm not sure if I can succeed... I am no longer that Zu Dashou, nor are they the fierce generals of the Guan Ning Army back then. !"

One sentence made the hearts of Wu Xiang and his son sink.Yes, although Zu Dashou before the Battle of Dalinghe also liked to preserve his strength and play with the enemy to support bandits, but no matter what he said, he was somewhat loyal to the emperor and patriotic. .But everything changed after the Battle of Daling River. All his ambitions seemed to have been buried in the loess along with the bones of Daling River City. What survived was only a shell, and the other one would only demand more from the court. A shell of wealth and power!What about Zu Dabi and Zu Dale?Before the Battle of Daling River, they were just two fierce generals in the Guanning Army, and they obeyed Zu Dashou. We are becoming more and more dissatisfied with our fear of the enemy, avoiding war, and taking the initiative to raise bandits!The Battle of Daling River destroyed Zu Dashou's ambitions, but broke out the confidence of these two fierce generals. After the bloody fight, these two fierce generals and the thousands of surviving Guanning Army soldiers It seems to be determined that they are not much worse than the Qing army, as long as they dare to fight to the death and the generals command properly, they can completely defeat the Qing army!This kind of self-confidence has become stronger and stronger as they follow the new army all the way to expand the territory and defeat countless powerful enemies in the past few years. Therefore, the entire Guanning Army has taken refuge in foreign enemies, but they led their respective troops to fight bloody battles. From Nanyang to Beijing, from Inner Mongolia to Badaling, I don’t know how many iron armies that Huang Taiji relied on were destroyed, and how many Qing army generals’ heads were cut off!

Zu Dashou is no longer the ambitious Zu Dashou, and Zu Dabi and Zu Dale are no longer the two little cavalry generals who obeyed him. Everything has changed!

Although I have no idea, but at the critical moment of life and death, if there is still a glimmer of hope, we must try our best to fight for it. So after returning to the mansion, after Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang had been doing business for a long time, he still wrote two autographed letters and handed them over to two cronies to let them Try to sneak out of the city, look for Zu Dabi and Zu Dale, and see if they can meet each other.

Huang Taiji seemed to be ignorant of all this. He tried his best to mobilize his army and mobilized all the mobile forces to Beijing. If it was not too late, he would probably even mobilize Zhenghongqi from Shenyang. .He has no other thoughts now, he just wants to fight Yang Menglong to the death!He is not the warlords like Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang who are at the two ends of the rat head, nor are they greedy for life and afraid of death like Wang Yingxiong and Hou Xun. The fierce tiger, the eagle on the prairie, he has lived vigorously in this life, even if he is going to be defeated, he must be defeated vigorously!Since all conspiracies, tricks and tactics have lost their due effect on Yang Menglong, then simply put them aside and fight Yang Menglong head-to-head with all your strength!
Following Huang Taiji's order, the Qing army in the surrounding areas of Beijing quickly shrank and gathered in Beijing from all directions.Especially the Qing army on the Badaling line retreated faster. Lei Shisheng's corps, which was mopping up the Qing army one by one, was shocked to find that almost overnight, the Qing army had withdrawn, leaving only empty camps. Not even a ghost can be found!Similarly, Qian Yu's Army and Yan Yingyuan's Army, which fought fiercely with the Qing Army in the Langfang area, also found that the Qing Army was rapidly shrinking its troops. The speed in Li was soaring in the direction of Beijing before they realized that the Qing army was planning to fight Yang Menglong in Beijing!
If you want more people to bully fewer people, you should concentrate on dealing with Yang Menglong, right?Be your mother's spring and autumn dream!

With us, you can never get your wish!
Several legion commanders released their cavalry troops without hesitation. There were Zu Dabi, Qi Polu, and Tie Mu'er in the direction of Badaling, and Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, and E Zhe in the direction of Langfang. They were all first-class cavalry generals in the world. Like a group of ferocious dogs, frantically biting the buttocks of the retreating Qing army until they were bloody!The Qing army is also really ruthless. Every time they are bitten, they send out one or two cattle to fight desperately, and the main force continues to retreat without looking back. Far.So this way, although the Ming army has gained a lot, it has never been able to hold the main force of the Qing army. They don't care about casualties, and they exhausted their horses and rushed on the road day and night. What else do you want?Fly up and bite?
But at this time, the Heluo New Army, which had already captured Wanping, seemed a little idle.The Qing army is already preparing its troops. From Yang Menglong to ordinary soldiers, they are all idlers. Those who are quick-tempered and understand the enemy's situation can really make them anxious to death!Their engineering troops are repairing the earth with hoes and engineering shovels, digging trenches around Wanping City. The trenches are 1.6 meters deep and [-] meters wide, which is enough for a moat.That's not to mention, they also pulled up the barbed wire fence on the high ground of the East Gate, where the howitzers and rocket launchers were deployed.An infantry brigade was placed in Wanping City as a support for the artillery unit, and now these troops are cleaning up the bricks and stones in the city boredly.As for the infantry, it seems that there is not much work to do. These Shaanxi Lengba children have changed from the usual taciturnity. Ten or eight gather together to talk and laugh, and take out the treasured milk wine and beef cans. Drink together.The military police are selectively blind to this kind of behavior that clearly violates military orders. This is the tradition of Xue Siming's army. Before the decisive battle, double the security forces and scouts are released. The main force should relax as much as possible. If you want to drink, drink and barbecue It's barbecue, Xue Siming and Yang Menglong don't care.This is an effective way to relax the troops and improve morale. The military discipline of the Heluo New Army is too strict. Who can stand it for a long time?

In contrast, Zu Dale and the Lancers under his command became taciturn. They kept their mouths shut, neither drinking nor fighting. They just took care of their horses and combed their manes all day long. Brush and comb, get the best horse feed to feed the horses, if you have time, maintain your own weapons, the paint on the horses has to be repaired, the stains on the sabers have to be ground, a little None of them can be kept, and the pistols have to be checked repeatedly to ensure that these weapons are in the best condition... When doing these jobs, these men from Liaodong are silent, and gloom is written on their faces.

They are about to fight face to face with the brothers who once fought side by side, and they feel uncomfortable!
But who can blame this?If you want to blame, blame God's will to trick people!
