Wu Dahai, whose full name is Aixinjueluo. Wu Dahai is the nephew of the old Manchu slave Nurhaci, the fourth son of the sincere and courageous Belmulhaqi, and serves under the Xianglan Banner of Manchuria.
At this time, he was named a third-class auxiliary general by the slave chief Huang Taiji. He was appointed as a left-hand political officer in the Ministry of Justice of the Qing Dynasty. He was awarded the title of Merle Zhangjing of Manchuria with a blue flag to accompany Prince Rui to conquer Jinzhou.
He followed Huang Taiji, Dorgon, Yue Tuo and other slave chiefs many times to conquer the Ming Dynasty and invade the interior of the Ming Dynasty. He can be said to be a hero and general of the Qing Dynasty, but in the Ming Dynasty he was indeed a devil with many evil deeds.
The guerrilla Kuang Yongzhong's troops in Xuanzhen of the Ming Dynasty were attacked by Manchurian Tatars led by Wu Dahai. They originally wanted to fight and then retreat, but the Tatars were mostly cavalry and they attacked in a hurry, so they suffered heavy damage.
Because they had to protect the left wing of the army as they mostly marched through mountains and hills, even light tanks found it difficult to move, so they only had a few wheelbarrows accompanying the army, and they were not equipped with many small cannons.
They were suddenly attacked by the Tatar cavalry and hurriedly formed a defensive formation, but were broken through by the Tatar cavalry. They fought and retreated to the northwest. In the end, they suffered more than 400 casualties and finally formed a formation on a hill relying on trees.
.
They took shelter in a small forest and used their limited muskets and artillery to exchange fire with the Tatars, causing casualties on each other. During this period, the Tatars also launched several infantry charges, but they were all repelled bravely.
The soldiers and horses of Tang Xiancheng's troops, who came to the rescue, were already very close to each other. They were about to join the company of Kuang Yongzhong's troops, but they were cut apart by the Tatar thief Wu Dahai and his cavalry.
Although they were unable to join Kuang Yongzhong's tribe because of this, they cooperated with each other and acted as each other's horns, but they were still able to withstand the attack of the Tatars led by Wu Dahai.
At this moment, Jia La Zhang Jing Luo Shuo of Zhengbai Banner rushed over with more than a thousand captives, and the situation on the battlefield was instantly reversed.
Their force of more than a thousand Tatar thieves and cavalry was like tigers descending the mountain. Without any pause, they charged straight into Kuang Yongzhong's infantry formation, causing them to continuously retreat to the northwest.
Although Kuang Yongzhong tried his best to keep the army unbroken, he was unable to resist the Tatar attack. It was not until he retreated to the hills where he was now that he was able to hold his position by relying on the terrain and trees.
The nearly 3,000 infantrymen under his command also suffered heavy casualties. Nearly 1,000 soldiers left the battle. Nearly 500 of them were killed in the battle. The rest were wounded and were now protected within the formation.
The reason why Kuang Yongzhong still stood firm despite continuous retreats was actually due to Tang Xiancheng's troops helping him withstand most of the pressure.
The 2,500 infantrymen under Tang Xiancheng's command were the same as the infantry battalion of guerrilla He Zhenxiong. They were elite soldiers carefully selected and trained by Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, after the Battle of Julu.
Although their armor was slightly insufficient, the equipment they used in Xuanfu Town was second only to Zhang Cheng's Xuanbei Army. What's more, Yang Guozhu was also very attentive to daily camp drills and often visited the school grounds to provide guidance.
What the two battalions of the 5,000 new troops under Yang Guozhu's command lack is actually just a lack of fighting experience. I believe that after this battle, it is not impossible for them to grow into a strong and iron-blooded army!
It is precisely because of this that after the fresh force of Zhengbai Banner led by Luo Shuo broke through Kuang Yongzhong's infantry formation, they did not continue to struggle with him. Instead, they led the Tatar cavalry and rushed directly towards Tang Xiancheng's troops.
Thanks to the advantage of their new army's daily camp operations, Tang Xiancheng immediately organized his soldiers to strengthen the infantry formation on that side after discovering that Kuang Yongzhong's troops had been overrun, and was able to withstand the attack of the captives and cavalry.
However, after Kuang Yongzhong's troops retreated, Luo Shuo's captive cavalry stayed to deal with Tang Xiancheng's new army, which increased the pressure on him. Fortunately, the guns and cannons in his camp were still sharp, and he barely resisted. He worked step by step and slowly moved toward the northwest.
Move, want to get close to Kuang Yongzhong, so that we can rely on each other.
Kong Youde, the obedient king of the Qing Dynasty, rode his horse and stood at the foot of the hill. In front of him were six fully armored knights holding large shields, and behind him were more than 200 soldiers of the God's Blessing Army holding firecrackers.
Hong Chengchou shouted at the top of his lungs: "Why is Tang Xiancheng so stubborn? Today's Ming emperor is ignorant, the officials and ministers are all greedy, and the people are living in darkness.
On the other hand, our country, the Qing Dynasty, is full of vigor and vitality. The kings are wise and the ministers are virtuous, and everyone in the four directions obeys them. Our brave warriors are all trembling and fleeing wherever they step on the iron hooves. Soon we will take over the Central Plains and continue our orthodoxy.
Fortunately, Prince He Shuorui cherishes Tang Xiancheng's great talents and does not want a generation of famous generals to die here. He specially ordered Kong to come and persuade him again. When Tang Xiancheng becomes like this, Prince Rui is the only one."
He swallowed before shouting again: "Prince Rui has said that as long as Tang Xiancheng is willing to abandon the Ming Dynasty and surrender to the Qing Dynasty, not only can he continue to lead the original army of soldiers and horses, but it is also not difficult to worship the general and become the king.
Kong also admired Tang Xiancheng's reputation very much, so he invited himself to come to the battle to give him kind words and advice. He also hoped that Tang Xiancheng would be a man who could understand the current affairs, and not let his love and cherishing talents be dampened by King Rui.
He saw General Yang standing on the edge of a hill less than a hundred steps away. Although he didn't say a word in response, he didn't open his mouth to insult him like the previous two times. He couldn't help but feel that something could be done.
Hong Chengchou immediately became energetic and listened to him continue to persuade loudly: "Even if Tang Xiancheng did not think about his personal safety, he still thought about the thousands of soldiers under his command. These are all brought by Xiangmei Zixiangmei. How can he be willing to take them all away?"
ruin
“Swish swish swish
Suddenly a cold light flashed, followed by a crisp sound of "ding, ding, ding, ding...".
It turned out that General Yang had been dealing with the Tatars, and his original intention was just to give his soldiers a chance to breathe, so that they could regain some strength and fight the slaves again.
When Hong Chengchou came to persuade him to surrender, he said to his subordinates: "This is the place where my brother was martyred in the past, and I am the only surrendering general!"
Imagine that the people beside him at this moment are his most loyal and brave servants and soldiers. Not only do their families have no worries about food and clothing in Xuanzhen, at least Qinyi has some land in the town, so he will not be sad because of losing them.
Out on the streets and starving.
General Yang has no intention of surrendering to slavery, so how could they have the intention of surrendering to the thieves!
Now that the physical strength of all the soldiers has been restored, and the leg strength of the war horses has also recovered to some extent, the reason why Xiang Mercer continues to tolerate the traitor Hong Chengchou talking nonsense here is just to find an opportunity to shoot him.
However, no matter how he tried to seduce him, he still huddled behind the shields of those armored knights and refused to show his head. General Yang also knew that Hong Chengchou was so cunning and that it would be impossible to attack him by surprise.
At that moment, he quietly ordered the soldiers behind him to secretly prepare bows and crossbows, and at the same time prepared for an assault. Using the sound of bowstrings as a signal, they all rushed to the front to persuade Xiang Mercer's troops to surrender.
Sure enough, just when Hong Chengchou saw some cold light, waves of roars came from the hills.
More than 300 Zhang Cheng soldiers on the hillock let out astonishing roars, all galloped down, and swooped down towards where Hong Chengchou was.
At the head was Commander-in-Chief Yang of the United States. He stared angrily ahead, holding a tiger spear in his head, and shouted: "Kong, thief, what kind of face do you have to persuade Zhongliang to surrender to the thief!"
A burst of arrows flew, but they could not stop the warriors from charging. They are the real heroes of the Ming Dynasty, they are meaningless warriors, they are tigers descending from the mountain!
A few more arrows were hung on Commander Yang's armor. As he galloped forward, his figure could not help shaking, and the dots of red were getting bigger, but these did not stop him from killing slaves.
Although Hong Chengchou, Prince Gong of the Qing Dynasty, was also a veteran who had experienced bloody battles, he was also shocked by the sudden change before his eyes. He could not imagine that Zhang Cheng, who was weak just now, was as brave as a tiger at this moment.
In a panic, Xiang Mercer wanted to gallop away to avoid Commander Yang, who was rushing towards him, but for some reason, his movements today seemed very smart.
In panic and anger, he whipped the war horse hard on his crotch, but it was of no avail. The war horse he was accustomed to riding on weekdays was only spinning in circles at the moment.
The six Zhengbai Banner Tatars who were originally on horseback and holding shields were now galloping to both sides to avoid the rushing Zhang Cheng cavalry.
"Bang bang. bang bang. bang bang bang."
At this critical moment, a loud sound like a thunderbolt and exploding beans came.
Smoke suddenly rose behind Hong Chengchou and to his left and right, and the horse under his crotch seemed to be frightened. It kicked the ground with its front hooves and jumped up with force, almost falling off the horse towards Mercer.
However, after this incident, the horse's head was successfully turned around. Hong Chengchou hurriedly whipped the horse under his crotch, trying to escape the tiger-like and wolf-like Zhang Cheng's cavalry behind him.
But it takes a process for a war horse to accelerate. It doesn't mean that it can run just by running. No matter how hard he beats the war horse, it will be of no avail.
However, although Xiang Mercer and Zhang Cheng rushed over with great force, they were stopped by the gunmen of the Two Hundred Heavenly Blessing Army who were panicking just after they fired the shot, which actually alleviated Hong Chengchou's crisis.
Xiang Mercer held the tiger spear in his hand and stabbed it left and right, knocking down three God Blessed Army gunslingers one after another. Although the momentum of his sprint was weakened, he also accelerated his gallop in an instant.
Seeing Hong Chengchou, who was about ten steps in front of him, he kicked the horse's abdomen with both legs, and some tiny blood drops could faintly seep out. The horse under his crotch was also in pain, and it galloped with all its strength.
"You traitor to your country and seek glory, take your life!"
General Yang roared loudly, clenched the tiger spear in his hand, ran towards Hong Chengchou and stabbed Hong Chengchou in the heart. "There was a soft hissing sound.
The tip of the tiger spear in Xiang Mercer's hand scraped against Hong Chengchou's ribs and pierced into the armor. He gave Xiang Mercer another fierce thrust, lifting Xiang Mercer off the back of his horse, and then threw him violently to the side.
There was a loud "bang" sound.
Xiang Mercer's huge body was picked up and thrown out by General Yang, and he fell heavily on the rocks beside him. Blood flowed from his ribs, his helmet flew away to nowhere, and his forehead also hit the rocks, and blood flowed like a stream.
.
Just when General Yang was thinking about riding up and giving this traitor who was seeking glory for his country another shot, several arrows flew towards him. He hurriedly waved his tiger gun to fire the arrows.
.
"Mouth!'
-An arrow actually hit the rear hip of the war horse under General Yang's crotch. Under the pain, the war horse was no longer under Xiang Mercer's control, and suddenly turned around and rushed towards the west mountain road.
When all the servants behind saw this scene, they were all horrified. They had no intention of fighting anymore, and they all chased General Yang's horse towards the mountain road to the west like crazy.
"Supervisor, Xiang Mei's soldiers and horses of Xuanzang are trapped in front of the West Stone Gate. They have been fighting with the Tatars for a long time. The general may be in trouble for a long time. Once Zhang Ruoxuan's soldiers and horses are exhausted in the first battle, it may damage the morale of our army.
ah.'
Although Xuanfu's tone was as usual, his expression was obviously a little impatient. He continued: "Li Fuming's Shanxi soldiers and horses are blocked on the mountain road today and may not be able to break through for a while. At the end of the day, I have asked for orders to go to war. I would like to fight with Zhang Ruo and Li Shuai."
We fought with the Tatars and captured the West Stone Gate together. Please ask the governor for permission!'
Yang Guozhu raised his telescope and looked nearby. He saw flying dust and billowing smoke in front of him. It was obvious that the fighting was fierce, but it would not be possible to break through in a short time.
He put down his telescope and said slowly: "The Xuanbei Army, the Supervisory Biao Camp, and the Liaodong Army are the pillars of the Central Army and should not be left lightly. Now, not only is there a fierce battle at West Shimen, but there are fierce battles with the Tatars everywhere in East Shimen and Huangtu Ridge.
, both Maojiagou and Songshanling were also fighting hard against the Tatar bandits.
At this time, the situation of the war is unclear, so how can we not leave any consequences? What will happen if the war situation takes a sudden turn?" Although Xiang Mei was anxious, he also knew that Yang Guozhu's words were reasonable, so he looked sideways at the commander-in-chief Xiang Meiqi.
Then he opened his mouth and said: "My lord, according to the battle report from the front, Commander-in-Chief has also come out from Jinzhou City and wants to join forces with our king's army both inside and outside to break the siege of the Tartar thieves.
Therefore, the Tatars on Rufeng Mountain mostly defended the Jinnan trench defense line, and were unable to support the West Shimen. In the opinion of the general, whether Wang Shuai and Ma Shuai can be transferred back to the first unit to strengthen the Chinese army's strength and assist the front line at any time.
.'
Ming Junqi looked thoughtful when he heard this, but then he heard Yang Guozhu say: "Zhongchen's words are not unreasonable, and I think it is feasible.'
After he finished speaking, he summoned the flag of the Chinese army to convey the order, and ordered Ma Ke, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan Pass, to continue to stay at the same place to monitor the Tatar bandits on Rufeng Mountain and prevent them from advancing to Shimen Mountain, while Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong, led his troops back.
The Chinese army is stationed on standby.
The reason why Yang Guozhu ordered General Wang Pu of Datong to return to the Chinese army to wait for orders instead of going directly to rescue Xiang Mercer who was fighting hard at West Shimen was mainly because it was not easy to transmit military orders in this era, and the battlefield situation was changing rapidly.
If Wang Pu is asked to lead the army to support General Yang, I am afraid that when he receives the military order and marches to West Shimen, the battlefield situation will change, and it will be difficult to respond to the enemy, which will often cause a series of changes.
After the Xuanfu heard Xiang Mercer's words, he hurriedly added: "Supervisor, Commander-in-Chief of the Army, since General Wang has decided to return reinforcements, the Chinese army will not worry about running out of troops.
The last general is willing to invite himself to fight, personally lead the Xuanbei army to attack West Shimen, fight with Zhang Ruo and Li Shuai against the Tatar bandits, relieve the siege of Jinzhou, and relieve the worries of the Holy One!’
Yang Guozhu still had a calm and elegant look on his face. While he was stroking his beard and thinking deeply, General Director Jun Ming Junqi said: "General Zhang, worried about national affairs, asked to go to war. His heart is commendable. Now I
The army is in great power and morale. It is time to march forward with courage, defeat the Tatar bandits in one fell swoop, and help relieve the siege of Jinzhou.'
He suddenly paused when he said this, stroked the beard on his chin, and maliciously reminded Yang Guozhu: "Director Hong, when the morale of this army is available, don't let the officers and men's determination to serve the country with fists and fists be dampened, and the military aid to the Jin Dynasty will be defeated."
ah!'
Yang Guozhu was stunned when he heard this, and looked a little worried. He thought to himself: "A man who is so proud of his achievements dares to speak arrogant words and threaten the governor!"
But he returned to his original state in an instant, stroking his beard and said: "What the commander-in-chief said has won the heart of this governor.
He turned his head and stared at the Xuan Mansion, and said: "General Zhang, get ready to go now. I hope that the Xuanbei Army can perform meritorious service in front of the formation and live up to the expectations of the commander-in-chief and the governor!"
