Chapter 203 Ma Zhan died at the age of twenty-seven
In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, on February 23, southeast of Zunhua.
Yue Tuo was seriously ill and couldn't stop vomiting blood, so he stayed in the camp to recuperate. He sent Anping Beiledudu, Auxiliary Duke Ma Zhan and others to ask the general to lead the army to the Santun camp to test the Xifengkou and Qingshankou pass defenses.
Sun Chuanting seized the opportunity and laid an ambush in advance. After the Qing army's forward force passed, he personally led the Fubiao camp and Cao Bianjiao and He Renlong troops to ambush the central Qing army.
The Liaodong generals also rushed from the Santun Camp, with Wang Tingchen's troops as the vanguard, and trapped the Qing army's front troops and horses, making it impossible to return for reinforcements.
At the same time, Chen Xinjia also led the Xuan army out of Qian'an and attacked the Qing army's rear. Zhang Cheng, Wang Pu and other generals rushed to kill them bravely. During the melee, Zhang Cheng, with the assistance of his general Zhang Guodong, actually defeated the Qing army's auxiliary force who was holding the rear.
Duke Ma Zhan was killed on the spot.
Aixinjueluo Machan was the sixth son of Daishan, Prince Lilie of the Qing Dynasty. He was the grandson of Nurhaci, Taizu of the Qing Dynasty. He was the nephew of the slave chieftain Taiji, and served as an assistant to the Duke of the country.
In September of the 11th year of Chongzhen, he followed Beile Yuetuo to conquer the Ming Dynasty and entered by destroying the border city at Qiangziling. He first defeated Wu Aheng, the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, and then defeated Taibao, crossed the capital, and wreaked havoc in Shandong.
Finally, on February 23, the twelfth year of Chongzhen, he was bravely killed by Ming general Zhang Cheng at the age of twenty-seven.
In this battle, the Ming army beheaded more than a thousand Qing soldiers and captured more than 1,800 horses. It was a great victory!
Unfortunately, the Qing army only conducted a test and did not escort the captive people with them. Although it was a great victory, they were unable to rescue the suffering people.
After the war, Sun Chuanting and Chen Xinjia jointly reported the victory. Lieutenant General Zhang Chengzhen killed Ma Zhan and wrote a big book about it, thinking that Zhang Cheng was asking for credit.
…………
On February 24, the Qing army's Dorgon and Hauge tribe's 30,000-plus cavalry took advantage of the Ming army's attack on the Dudu tribe's Qing troops to make a long-distance attack on Qian'an. Yang Guozhu was ordered to hold on, but the slaves failed.
Later, Zu Dashou, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong forward, led an army to come to the rescue and beheaded more than 200 slave thieves.
After Dorgon retreated, he turned to attack Yongping, and then returned to join the Abatai tribe to attack Fengrun. Fortunately, Shanxi commander Hu Dawei, Yutian deputy commander Yang Dezheng and other generals were able to defend the defense and the soldiers were kept for a long time.
If you can't attack, retreat.
On February 28, the forward commander Zu Dashou and the Liaodong soldiers met in Luanzhou. From then on, the Liaodong soldiers were under the command of Zu Dashou.
At this time, the Qing army and the captured Ming people had most of their property stored between Yutian and Fengrun. On the second day of March, they passed Fengrun and slowly moved to Qian'an.
On the seventh day of March, the Qing army Anping Beile Dudu Dudu led a Qing army to attack Yongping, but failed to defeat it, so they turned to attack Luanzhou, but failed to defeat it, so they returned to move to Anping.
On the same day, Dorgon led the Qing troops to sneak attack Qian'an. At that time, Yang Guozhu and other Xuan troops had been ordered to move out, and Qian'an was captured.
…………
On the night of the eighth day of March, Sun Chuanting, Chen Xinjia and others led an army a hundred miles southwest of Qian'an and attacked the Qing army's camp at night. The sky was full of flames. Under the attack of Qin soldiers, Xuan soldiers and Liaodong soldiers, the army was in a panic.
At that time, the Qin soldiers Cao Bianjiao, He Renlong, Zuo Guangxian and others had already invaded the Qing army's right-wing camp. Hauge was forced to lead his troops out of the camp. Only then was he stabilized. He immediately organized the Qing troops to counterattack.
Abatai's left wing was more alert. They discovered the Ming army when the Chinese army was attacked and immediately organized a defense. However, they could only just hold the camp and were temporarily unable to rescue Yue Tuo's Chinese army.
I don't know how many Qing soldiers participated in the night attack on the Ming army. I saw firelight flickering in every camp, and all the camps were in panic. Yue Tuo insisted on wearing armor and went into battle despite being ill. He climbed to a high place and looked around. They were fighting. Under the light of the fire, everywhere
Black smoke rises.
Suddenly, a Ming army rushed towards him like evil ghosts born from the world. The sound of "bang bang" could not be heard, and they headed straight for his central army tent.
Yue Tuo's subordinate Jia La Zhang Jing Hu Min led dozens of Qing troops and rode towards the Ming army. They wanted to stop the Ming army, but they were intercepted by Zhang Cheng's sentry commander Chen Zheng and more than 200 fine cavalry. The two sides fought together.
Zhang Cheng saw that more than 300 steps ahead of the gold-woven dragon flag, a Qing general wearing gilt armor stood on a high place, looking around at the fighting around him. From a distance, there were only dozens of people around him.
Guarded by Qing soldiers.
Zhang Cheng led Chen Zhong, Wei Zhice and the Chinese military sentry towards the two hundred elite cavalry and rushed over. Zhang Guodong, who was not far away, kept charging to the left of Zhang Cheng, but never dared to look away from Zhang Cheng.
He had earlier persuaded Zhang Cheng not to commit a dangerous situation, and he and Chen Zheng would lead the night attack, while Zhang Cheng stayed behind to protect Chen Xinjia, the governor of Xuanda, but Zhang Cheng insisted on personally leading him and waiting for the night attack on the Qing army.
Camp.
Therefore, Zhang Guodong was always concerned about Zhang Cheng's safety and always guarded him on his left side. At this time, he also saw Zhang Cheng rushing towards the gold-woven dragon banner in the middle of the Qing army camp.
He shouted loudly and called for his elite cavalry to run towards the big flag from the left. From a distance, he saw hundreds of Qing soldiers running towards a high platform next to the dragon flag.
Zhang Guodong said hello, and then led the first and second generals under his command to meet the Qing soldiers and intercepted them. The third general under his command, led by General Tong Shoushan, ran straight to the high platform without stopping.
go.
Chen Zhong and others rushed in front of Zhang Cheng. A burst of three-eyed guns broke through the Qing defense line in front of him and rushed straight to where Yue Tuo was. The knife and stick in his hand were full of blood and he roared loudly, looking like a madman.
.
Yue Tuo saw Zhang Cheng rushing towards him from a distance, and he couldn't help but feel guilty. Several Bagala guards around him quickly brought in the horses and called to help Yue Tuo mount his horse.
In his current condition, he could not fight on horseback, not to mention that from a distance, the Ming army charging towards him looked extremely ferocious.
"Loyal son, know the strategy, look at that slave chief, capture him for me..." Zhang Cheng yelled angrily.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhong and Wei Zhice hurriedly urged their horses and rushed forward.
Four horsemen were guarding Yue Tuo in front, and they were about to run away. On both sides, dozens of Bagala guards were galloping towards them, trying to prevent Zhang Cheng and others from pursuing Yue Tuo.
Chen Zhong shouted loudly: "Xiao Linzi, Jin Hai, you protect the general."
Lin Fangping and Liu Jinhai agreed loudly, and the team leaders stayed on both sides of Zhang Cheng in the night. They went straight to pursue Yue Tuo. The Qing soldiers Bagala guard who rushed from both sides were all intercepted by Chen Zhong and Wei Zhice.
.
Only two horses came towards Zhang Cheng. At thirty paces, they each fired a spear. Zhang Cheng dodged one, but was hit by another spear in the head of the horse under his crotch. The spear head sank into the horse.
Within the head.
The war horse neighed and fell to the ground. Zhang Cheng was thrown forward by the charge of the war horse. He still held the knife stick in his hand and rolled on the ground twice before he stabilized his body.
.
Before he could look back at the situation behind him, he saw that more than thirty steps away, the Qing general wearing gilded armor also fell from the saddle and bridle of his horse. Before he hit the ground, a mouthful of bright red seemed to spurt out.
Without hurrying to think about it, Zhang Cheng, who had just stood up, lunged forward a few steps, and at the same time concentrated all his strength on his waist, and suddenly stood up.
"kill!"
With a loud shout, he twisted his waist vigorously from left to right, and poured all his strength from his waist into his right arm. He threw the knife stick in his hand forward. Due to the excessive force, he fell to the ground again.
I saw the already heavy knife stick flying out of Zhang Cheng's hand, cutting through the early spring night wind, with a slight sound of wind, and flew towards the slave chief Yue Tuohou who was squatting on the ground in front of him.
