Dorgon reborn

The soldiers of the Ming army followed closely behind Daishan, waving their weapons and shouting loudly: "Kill the Tartars! Don't let the Tartars go!" The deafening voice resounded through the sky.

Seeing the pursuers behind them swarming forward again, Dai Shan and Dorgon had no choice but to stop advancing, commanding the remaining soldiers and horses to fight against them, waving the weapons in their hands, and the sound of metal hitting bones, the blood stained many The long knife in Ergun's hand felt a faint pain in his heart, but he couldn't stop.At this moment, as long as there is a slight negligence, life will be lost. No one will care about your pity and sympathy on the battlefield. The only thing that exists is killing.

The smell of blood permeated the nostrils, and at a very critical moment, Huang Taiji's soldiers and horses also arrived. Under the impact of the tide-like iron cavalry, the Ming army could no longer stop them. In response, he rushed out of the encirclement and fled northward with his soldiers and horses.The Ming army behind them pursued and killed many banner soldiers with bows and arrows. They did not retreat back to Zhenjiang City until it was getting late.

When Daishan, Huang Taiji, and Dorgon returned to the camp with the remaining soldiers and horses, they checked the number of soldiers and found that only 200 of Daishan's 100 soldiers and horses remained.The [-] soldiers and horses led by Huang Taiji and Dorgon also lost more than [-] people. The three brothers deeply felt that the Ming army had undergone tremendous changes and they could no longer underestimate the enemy.

The entire Chinese army tent was terribly quiet, Dai Shan and Huang Taiji sat in front of the table and stared at the map on the table with solemn expressions. This was their worst defeat in the battle.After a long time, Dai Shan sighed and said, "Old Ba, it's all because of my second brother's impatience, and he didn't listen to your persuasion, so he lost so many soldiers and horses." Now he really loses face, how can he go back to see Father Khan.

"Second brother, I can't blame you for this. I'm also responsible. I should have stopped you... Well, let's not talk about this. Since Zhenjiang has already attacked, we must take it down and let the Ming army see it." See how powerful my Eight Banners Iron Cavalry is."

"Hey, old eight, you can do it boldly, second brother, I will follow your arrangement this time." Dai Shan raised his hand and patted Huang Taiji's shoulder heavily, and said trustingly.He was completely convinced by Huang Taiji's strategy. Not only did he command well, but his judgment was also accurate.

Outside the tent, Dorgon paced back and forth in the camp, stopping from time to time, looking at the looming city in the distance, with complex emotions in his eyes.At this moment, a stone flew towards him and landed right at his feet. Looking down, he found that the stone was wrapped with a piece of paper.

He suddenly raised his head and looked around the big camp, but found no one. He hurriedly picked up the paper on the ground and stuffed it into his arms, and quickly ran back to his big tent.When he came to the table, he unfolded the paper, and there were only a few words scrawled on it: "Meet you in the woods three miles away, signed by Yuan Chonghuan."

He quickly passed the paper in his hand to the candle and lit it, watching it burn to paper ashes, Dorgon sat quietly at the table, hesitating whether to see him or not.Feeling inexplicably irritable, he stood up and walked back and forth inside the tent, looking at the gradually darkening sky outside the tent from time to time.

Finally, with a long breath, Dorgon clenched his hands into fists and made a decision. He got up and changed into his military uniform behind the screen, quietly left the big tent, and disappeared outside the barracks.Quickly waving the horsewhip in his hand, he had to come back before Huang Taiji paid his bill, otherwise he would be in serious trouble.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, a guard hurriedly walked in, came to Huang Taiji's side, and whispered a few words in his ear.Immediately, Huang Taiji raised his eyebrows and looked at the person standing with his head down, and said in a low voice: "You follow in secret, remember not to reveal your whereabouts, as long as you protect the safety of the fourteenth brother." He thought his scruples were It was superfluous, but what he never expected was that Yuan Chonghuan dared to take risks to see Dorgon, and what made him even more angry was that Dorgon actually went to see him.What are you saying that two people are fine?Then how to explain everything now!

The night wind blew the leaves and made a rustling sound. When Dorgon walked into the woods, he raised 120 points of caution. He didn't know if the person who sent him the letter was Yuan Chonghuan.His current behavior is to gamble with his life, and if he loses the bet, the price will be heavy, but even he himself does not know why he wants to let go of the gamble.

Yuan Chonghuan was sitting on the clearing in the forest. When he saw that familiar figure appearing in front of him, he couldn't believe his eyes that Dorgon had actually arrived as promised.Their meeting was a gamble, both of them were betting with their lives, and their only bargaining chip was mutual trust.

"Brother Yuan, it's been a long time." Dorgon smiled faintly, jumped off his horse, and walked slowly towards Yuan Chonghuan.He stopped at a place three steps away from him, quietly staring at the silent man in front of him, with mixed emotions in his heart, "Why did you ask me to come here? Could it be that you are just here in a daze?" Bar?"

"I just want to see you." Without too many words, Yuan Chonghuan had a lot of things he wanted to say to Dorgon before he came, but when he saw the person in front of him, he found that he couldn't say anything.He just wanted to look at this person one more time. When the two armies met again, he almost thought he was in a dream, but the cruel reality immediately hit him badly.

Hostility, the fact that it can never be changed, made his heart feel as painful as burning in a flame.His deep eyes lingered on the person he missed, but he didn't see himself in that person's eyes, "You've grown a lot taller, you've had a good time these years." There was a bit of bitterness in his heart, so it turned out that he The person he misses is just his wishful thinking.

"It's about the same as you, but not happier than you." Dorgon raised the corner of his mouth slightly, showing a faint smile, leaning over and sitting on a tree stump not far away.After a long time, he said slowly, "Are you ready to go to war with my father Khan?" He didn't want to see any of these two men get hurt, but things will not change according to people's wishes.

"If there is a war, you hope..."

"I hope not to go to war, but I know that with your personality, you will not join Daikin, and my father Khan will never give up his plan to march into the Central Plains, so..." Dorgon raised his head suddenly, worried He looked at Yuan Chonghuan quietly, and swallowed the words again. What's the point of saying this now?When the two armies are at war, how can personal emotions be mixed in.

Yuan Chonghuan turned his eyes away, looked up at the dark night sky, and said in a low voice with a touch of sadness, "I really hope that I didn't save you back then, otherwise I wouldn't be so bored now."

"What do you mean?" Dorgon's body trembled slightly, he heard something in Yuan Chonghuan's words, raised his eyebrows and stared at the sad man, his heart beating faster.At this moment, he saw the same thing as Huang Taiji in Yuan Chonghuan's eyes, which was what he was afraid of and what he was most worried about. No, this was a complete illusion, and he kept comforting himself.

"I can't forget." Yuan Chonghuan frowned, met Dorgon's puzzled gaze, and his eyes met. There was only a long silence, and the rustling of the leaves blown by the wind around him.Finally Yuan Chonghuan broke the awkward silence, and said slowly: "I want to know, will you also think of me...or occasionally, sometimes?"

With a bitter smile, Dorgon lowered his eyes, pursed his thin lips, and thought about how to answer his question.It would be a lie if he said he didn't want to, but his "thinking" was completely different from what Yuan Chonghuan wanted to hear, "You are my savior, of course I will keep your kindness in mind." After thinking again and again, he said An ambiguous sentence came out.

"You are avoiding my questioning... Forget it, I can see that your heart has long been occupied by someone." Shu stood up, came to Dorgon, bent down and squatted in front of him, with melancholy eyes Staring fixedly at his face.After a while, he raised his hand and stroked Dorgon's cheek lightly, and said in a low voice, "I want to kiss you, is that okay?"

When his body froze, Dorgon's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he heard. When he hadn't woken up from the shock, he covered his warm lips.The gentle kiss was lingering, and he could clearly feel the cautiousness of the man in front of him. His wet tongue pried open his tightly closed teeth, and quickly wrapped around his tongue.

There was a roar in his head, and after the shock, Dorgon suddenly pushed away the man in front of him, panting quickly, his panicked eyes didn't know where to look, "Brother Yuan, I think you got the wrong partner... already It's late, I should go back." Standing up, he rushed towards the horse as if fleeing, but he was hugged at the waist just after walking a few steps.

"Are you scared?" Yuan Chonghuan buried his head on Dorgon's neck, sniffing the smell that he had missed for a long time, and the faint body fragrance surrounded his nose.He took Dorgon's hand, put it on his lips and kissed lightly, and murmured: "I hope there is a corner in your heart that belongs to me." After finishing speaking, he let go of the person in his arms and turned around. Coming to the side of the war horse, he jumped on the horse, glanced at Dorgon who was still standing there, smiled a little, and disappeared into the vast forest.

He raised his hand and stared at the kissed palm, it seemed that Yuan Chonghuan's hot temperature still remained there.Contrary to Huang Taiji's dominance, Yuan Chonghuan's warmth made him feel confused for a while, he slowly closed his palms, turned his eyes to the direction where Yuan Chonghuan disappeared, and said slowly: "Maybe."

With unusually heavy footsteps, he led the war horse, jumped onto the horse's back, and led the horse for a slow walk in the silent woods.His mind was already in chaos, all kinds of complicated emotions were entwined, he raised his head and sighed, "How could things become so complicated?" There was a bitter smile on his lips, but at this moment, Dorgon was stunned. Unexpectedly, behind this tranquility, there are more cruel and bloody killings hidden.
