In the evening, drizzle began to fall in the sky!
This area of Rufeng Mountain is where the warm air from the west meets the cold and humid air from the sea in the east. The weather is already humid, and with this drizzle, the whole world looks muddy and cold, and the visibility is rapidly reduced!
It was already the end of July, and the weather in Liaodong was already a bit cold. Coupled with the influence of the small glacier climate and the rain, the temperature dropped suddenly, making the soldiers of the Caishi Army very uncomfortable!
At this time, the Caishi Army's defenses did not have any measures to protect themselves from the rain. Together with Wang Pu's 6,000 Datong Army, more than 10,000 soldiers had no choice but to hide behind the raised earth walls, clinging to each other, using sandbags and
Cover with tarpaulin, shelter from rain, and keep warm!
"Damn it, what the hell kind of weather is this? We haven't even started this battle yet, and our brothers are all going to get gonorrhea from this damn weather!" The main force of the Ming army suffered a defeat, and Wang Pu's mood also plummeted, just like the patter of rain.
Autumn rain, so gloomy that not even a glimmer of light can be seen!
Liu Ruyi frowned slightly and quietly stared at the Azige tribe's camp not far down the mountain!
In the past two days, the fighting on Shimen Mountain was turned upside down, and it was dark. Duduo wished he could go into battle in person, but the Azige tribe, which was less than six miles away from Duduo's tribe, did not make the slightest move. This made Liu Ruyi instinctively
A bit of vigilance was raised!
Even if Duduo is usually domineering, arrogant and offends a lot of people, he is Azig's direct brother after all. Even if Huang Taiji is suppressing him, Azig absolutely cannot leave his brother in danger without saving him!
Although Azig has been suppressed by Huang Taiji in the past few years and is just a county king, after all, he is also the blood of Nurhaci and is one of the favored younger sons. He himself also inherited the two yellow flags that were Nurhachi's confidants.
Although some of the forces in the group did not benefit as much as Dorgon and Duduo, they definitely should not be underestimated!
Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty has now been established as a country, its own social system still has many shadows of the slave society!
Especially at this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has not yet entered the customs, and the master has extremely high control over his slaves!
If Azig wanted to send troops to rescue Duduo, it would be difficult for Huang Taiji to stop him!
But Azig just endured it and remained motionless, which made Liu Ruyi a little guessing and fearful!
"Brother Liu, in such a horrible weather, those dog Tatars will not come to sneak attack. Why don't we let the brothers withdraw from the position first and make some fires to keep warm and keep out the cold. Then I will order the soldiers to give them to the brothers.
Make some broth to warm yourself up!" Wang Pu glanced at Liu Ruyi and asked.
Liu Ruyi turned around fiercely, ignoring the drizzle that had wet his hair, "Brother Wang, this is absolutely impossible! Let's do this! Go and order the soldiers to cook more broth and distribute it to the front positions.
Brothers! I can just keep an eye on the situation here!"
"Huh? Okay! I'll do it right now!" Wang Pu could not bear the coldness on the top of the mountain for a long time, so he turned around and trotted to the camp on the mountainside!
Watching Wang Pu go away, Liu Ruyi let out a long sigh, this weather is really not the right time!
If the Qing army suddenly launched an attack at this time, it would really be difficult to deal with it!
At this time, in Azige's tent, which was only half a mountain away from Liu Ruyi's troops, Azige, Prince of Yingwu County of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was carefully opening the small curtain beside the tent door and carefully observing the rain outside!
As Liu Ruyi guessed, Azig was not unwilling to rescue his own brother during the Shimen Mountain situation, but because he had received a secret order from Huang Taiji!
Although Huang Taiji has great talents, great strategies, and majestic appearance, he is still a mortal after all, and he also has seven emotions and six desires!
This time for the siege of Jinzhou, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties sent out almost all the elites of the country. This was not like the previous Qing army entering the customs, which brought a large number of Mongolians and armored men and women, but all the Manchu and Qing Eight Banners personal guards!
These people are the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!
As a result, the three brothers Azig, Dorgon, and Duduo accounted for half of the elite forces in the siege of Jinzhou!
Although the overall situation is under control, Huang Taiji has been very weak since the Battle of Pinggu. He is far from as relieved as he seems to the three brothers!
Dorgon's situation has become a problem. At this time, even if Huang Taiji has the intention, it will be difficult to completely suppress him! Many times, Huang Taiji has to consider the overall balance!
And Duduo is Dorgon's loyal follower. Unless he is killed, it will be difficult to provoke the strong family relationship between him and Dorgon since childhood!
Only Azig, his life is not satisfactory now, and he is not too close to Dorgon and Dodo!
Huang Taiji deliberately separated him from Dorgon and Duduo brothers!
At this time, the reason why Azig stood still was because Huang Taiji wanted him to find an opportunity to sneak attack on the Ming army's rear military positions and pay!
Beforehand, Huang Taiji had personally promised Azig that if Azig could make great achievements in this battle, Huang Taiji would give him the title of prince!
They were brothers of the same origin, but between the county king and the prince, Azig still secretly preferred the latter in his heart!
"Report~~~! Prince Yingwu, there is a secret decree from the emperor!" Just as Azige was thinking, several horses suddenly came galloping in the rain outside. The leader was a man in his early thirties.
Eunuch!
"Slave Azig accepts the order!" Azig hurriedly welcomed several messengers into the tent and knelt on the ground respectfully!
"Prince Yingwu, this is the emperor's secret order. Several of my servants dare not look at it! You'd better take a closer look at it yourself!" The messenger smiled and handed a secret letter to Azig.
Azig did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly opened the secret letter respectfully and read it carefully. For a moment, a glimmer of excitement suddenly flashed across his face!
"Prince Yingwu, the servants and others have urgent military information to transmit, so they will not stay here! Farewell!" The messenger smiled and turned to leave!
"Father-in-law, please stay here!" Azig hurriedly grabbed the leading eunuch and carefully took out a bag of golden beans from his arms, "Father-in-law has come a long way and has been working hard all the way. For such a small thing, I still hope that my father-in-law
Be sure to accept it!”
The eunuch glanced at Azig and couldn't help but smile instantly. He waved his hands to order a few followers to exit the tent, and then lowered his voice and said: "Prince Yingwu, the emperor values you very much. This time, you must perform well!
"
"I understand, I understand! I understand! For everything, I still have to ask my father-in-law for your kind words!" Azig was also overjoyed, and he repeatedly cupped his hands.
The eunuch chuckled and said, "Then our family is here first to congratulate Prince Yingwu on your victory!"
~~~~~~
After watching the eunuch disappear in the drizzle, Azig turned around with a smile!
However, in an instant, his expression changed, becoming full of the original coldness!
"Liu Ruyi! Humph! Others are afraid of you, but I, Azige, am not afraid of you! Now, when the opportunity comes, let you become the first stepping stone for me!" Azige sneered slightly, 'shua'.
He took out the sword from his waist and carefully stroked the tip of the sword with his big hand!
Back then, during the Battle of Jinan City, Azig was also involved, but due to Dorgon, he did not show his true strength. At this time, Huang Taiji gave him this opportunity, and the fire in his heart began to rise.
It started to burn brightly and could no longer be extinguished!
"Someone is coming!"
"The slave is here!" Several soldiers hurriedly gathered around him!
"Go and gather your subordinates! Today, I will give you a great fortune!"
The sky is getting dark, but the drizzle shows no sign of stopping!
Affected by the rain, a layer of light and moist mist floated over the mountains, mixed with the patter of raindrops. The visibility was so low that you could not even see ten steps away!
At this time, Liu Ruyi took Huolang and Xiao Liuer to inspect the ports of the outpost one by one!
"How's it going? Brothers, are you full? Is the food still to your appetite?" Because of the rain, Liu Ruyi specifically asked the soldiers to increase the amount of meat for this evening meal, and also added some ginger to the broth.
Keep soldiers warm and protected from the cold!
"Thank you, general! We've all eaten! Hehe! I'm just looking forward to when I can follow the general in fighting the Tartars!" The person who spoke was a new army member who only joined the army at the end of last year. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his face was still...
Full of childishness!
"You bastard! When to fight the Tatars, that is the decision of the general! You haven't grown all your hair yet! How dare you speak nonsense in front of the general!" The general flag next to him is a veteran who has followed Liu Ruyi for many years.
Seeing that the new recruit under his command was so rude, he slapped him hard on the forehead!
"Well..." The recruit felt a little aggrieved, but he didn't dare to refute his immediate superior's words. He rubbed his forehead in aggrieved manner and looked at Liu Ruyi for help!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile, "Liu Laosi!"
"Yes!" The general flag quickly stood at attention and straightened his body!
Liu Ruyi nodded slightly, walked to his side, and looked at him carefully!
This Liu Laosi is about thirty-seven or eighty-eight years old. He is not tall, but he is very majestic, with a body like a 'small steel cannon'. He is also from the Liu family in Licheng, and is Liu Ruyi's confidant slave!
Suddenly, Liu Ruyi punched Liu Laosi on the shoulder!
Although this force was not strong, it shocked Liu Laosi, "General, general..."
"Liu Laosi, you bitch! Where have you learned these military regulations! Ah! I have issued orders over and over again, prohibiting corporal punishment of soldiers! It would be better for you, you dare to do it in front of me! Don't you want to?
You have to eat by yourself! Huh?" Liu Ruyi asked sharply.
"General, general, humble position, humble position is wrong!" Liu Laosi hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word!
The recruit next to him was also confused, and dozens of people around him fell to their knees with cheers!
Liu Ruyi glanced at everyone with a stern look, "Our Colored Stone Army is a whole! In the eyes of me, Liu Ruyi, all the heroes who join my Colored Stone Army are my Liu Ruyi's brothers and my Liu Ruyi's brothers!"
Liu Laosi, what is Article 8 of the Colored Stone Military Regulations? Memorize it for me!"
"Colleagues should be friendly to each other and must not bully or abuse each other..." Liu Laosi dared not say more, so he hurriedly recited it!
Liu Ruyi glanced at him, patted the mud on his shoulder, stretched out her hand to help him up, "I know, why do you still do it?"
"..." Liu Laosi drooped his head, not daring to express his anger!
"General, the commander-in-chief treats me very well! You, you must not punish him!" Seeing Liu Ruyi's majesty, the recruit hurriedly explained to Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ruyi nodded, waved his hand to signal the soldiers to return to their positions, and then pulled Liu Laosi aside.
"General, I, I was wrong!" Liu Laosi slapped himself angrily, like a defeated rooster!
"No! You are not wrong!" Liu Ruyi suddenly sighed deeply.
"Huh?" Liu Laosi was startled and looked at Liu Ruyi blankly.
"Fourth, you are not wrong! If I remember correctly, it has been three years since you joined the army!" Liu Ruyi said.
"General, do you still remember the young one?" Liu Laosi couldn't help but be overjoyed!
"Hmph!" Liu Ruyi snorted coldly, "Back then, during the battle on Dushan Cliff in Jining, you were the first one to rush up the mountain, right?"
"General, you, you still remember..." Liu Laosi couldn't stop his tears from flowing out. The battle on Dushanya was the most glorious moment in his life. With that battle, he also climbed to the rank of General Secretary.
Flag position!
"Hey!" Liu Ruyi sighed deeply and patted Liu Laosi hard on the shoulder, "Laosi! You know the situation in front of you. The Tatar soldiers are not easy to deal with! You are a veteran, too.
The old man who follows me, Liu Ruyi, must be as patient as possible with the brothers under his command! This battle is not easy to fight!"
"General, I, I know I was wrong!" Liu Laosi hurriedly knelt down on the ground!
"You're crying like a girl! Where was your masculinity back then? Ah! Stand up for me!" Liu Ruyi grabbed Liu Laosi's lapel and pulled him up!
"The Battle of Liaodong is no small matter! If possible, I, Liu Ruyi, don't want to see any of your brothers fall on this battlefield! Therefore, we have to be careful in everything! Fourth, you are not young anymore! Take care.
Performance! Try to make more achievements this time, earn more money, and build a big house for your mother-in-law after returning to Shandong!" Liu Ruyi looked into his eyes and said.
"General, I..." Liu Laosi's tears were about to flow out again!
"Okay! Don't act like a bitch! Fourth brother, do your best and don't embarrass our brothers from the Liu family! With your own ability, you can get into a thousand households, let me see, and let your bitches too
, I will also follow you to enjoy the scenery!!" Liu Ruyi said with a smile.
"General..." Liu Laosi knelt on the ground again, ignoring the mud on the ground and kowtowing as hard as he could!
Liu Ruyi took a deep breath of moist air and stretched her waist slightly. At this time, the subtle and distant sound of horse hoofs suddenly came to her ears!
"General, listen, there seems to be movement over there!" Liu Laosi's hearing was also very keen. He suddenly turned over, climbed up from the mud, leaned on the earth wall nearby, and listened.
After a while, he suddenly pointed to the north not far away, "General, no, it's cavalry! Listen to this sound, I'm afraid there are more than three thousand people!"
Liu Ruyi's expression also changed, "Quickly, notify the brothers! Be careful! The Tatar soldiers may come for real!"
