Thousands of dragoons were galloping in pursuit along the Suzi River Valley.
There were sentry riders ahead to explore the road. These sentry riders came to a stop at the exit of a ravine. They continued to the east in the direction of Maldun. They turned north and entered an unknown ravine.
The sentries were a little confused, because there were traces of the Tatar army in both directions.
They divided into two groups and continued to explore east and north. At the same time, they sent people back to report the news.
"Maybe the Tatars got into the ravine?"
Lin Zhidong was confused when he received the news. If the Tatars didn't continue to the east, why would they go into the ravine?
Do you want to ambush in the ravine?
But if you plan to ambush, you should also spend time cleaning up the traces. How can the scouts of the Datong Army know it at a glance?
Lin Zhidong really couldn't figure it out, so while continuing to move forward, he sent someone back to report the news to the main force.
After continuing to run for more than ten miles, a scout on horseback ran back quickly and said happily: "The independent regiment has captured Hetuala and blocked Mardun. The Tatars have no way to go and can only crawl into the ravine!"
"What did you say?"
Lin Zhidong quickly recalled the military map. The more he thought about it, the more outrageous he felt. He couldn't understand how Yang Zhenqing used his troops.
The scout said: "The independent regiment set out from Crow Falcon Pass and successively recruited and surrendered several Tatar forts. One of the forts refused to surrender. Commander Yang ordered most of the troops to set up camp and pretended to storm the fortress. He led 1,500 people to cross over.
Mountain. After eating food on the way, he attacked Jianzhou (Hetuala) hungry and captured Jianzhou City in one fell swoop. The puppet Queen Mother and the emperor all fled in panic. Commander Yang made slight corrections and marched westward to capture Mar.
Dun, completely block the retreat of the main Tatar force!"
Lin Zhidong was speechless for a long time, and finally muttered: "This guy is a lunatic when it comes to fighting. If the Tatars in Jianzhou City defend, all the people he leads will starve to death."
Lin Zhidong sent someone back to report the news, and ordered: "Follow me to pursue the Tatars, be careful of ambush!"
…
Mandahai originally wanted to set up an ambush in the ravine and eat up a group of Datong Army's pursuers. He would not only vent his anger but also boost the morale of the Eight Banners Army. Then he would burn the baggage that could not be taken away and the entire army would climb the mountain to escape.
However, he could no longer suppress his military morale, and a group of Eight Banners nobles made a fuss and fled for their lives immediately.
"If you don't leave, I will!"
Fu Lata roared loudly: "There are Nanmanzi on both sides of the Suzi River Valley. Do you still want to set up an ambush here? So what if you win a battle? If you leave a day late, you will be overtaken by the main force of the Nanmanzi!"
Fu Lata is the fourth son of Ji'erharang's eighth brother. Due to the twists and turns of the relationship, it is impossible for him to inherit the title of Prince Jian.
But he is the successor to Prince Jian, because all the heirs ahead of him were killed or captured during the battle with the Datong Army. Judging from the succession of Manchu nobles, we know how much talent has withered. The more experienced they are on the battlefield, the more
The sooner you die.
"Stop!" Mandahai scolded.
Fu Lata was not afraid at all, and turned around and said: "You are the newly appointed Prince Li, and this title is unclear. But I am the serious Prince Jian, and you have no right to order me. I want to take my Niu Lu with me.
Follow my men and immediately cross the mountains to escape. If you dare to stop me, I will fight you!"
Mandahai looked at the other nobles and was instantly disappointed.
Fu Lata returned to his camp and immediately ordered: "No gold, silver or treasure is required. Everyone should bring as much food as they can. What cannot be taken away, burn everything!"
Prince Chengze showed great admiration and bowed his hands to Mandahai with Han rites: "It's about the lives of my people, so I have to leave too."
One after another, the Manchu nobles announced their departure, unwilling to accompany Mandahai in setting up an ambush.
People's hearts have long since dispersed.
After a while, thick smoke billowed in the ravine, but it was burning the luggage that could not be taken away.
At this moment, the dragoons led by Lin Zhidong had just chased them to the entrance of the ravine.
Seeing thick smoke appearing inside, Lin Zhidong immediately realized: "The Tatars are trying to escape and are burning food!" Then he added, "Don't rush forward, it may be a trick by the Tatars to lure the enemy!"
These dragoons are just chasing the enemy's vanguard, but they don't dare to go head-to-head with tens of thousands of Tatars.
When Lin Zhidong was extremely cautious and led his troops to chase him to the end of the ravine, he saw only the burning supplies on the ground and the old, weak, sick and disabled people abandoned by the Tatars.
Lin Zhidong finally caught a young Tatar and asked the soldier who could speak Manchu to ask: "Where is the main force of the Tatars?"
"We've gone over the mountain." Qing Zhuang replied.
"Why didn't you leave?" Lin Zhidong asked.
Qingzhuang raised his hands. The thumbs on both hands were gone. They were chopped off by Hu Dinggui during his surprise attack on Haizhou. Qingzhuang said: "To escape over the mountains, I have to bring food and climb all the way. I don't have thumbs, so I can't use my strength."
, can’t get out of the mountains.”
Lin Zhidong raised his head and looked up at the surrounding mountains. It was estimated that the Tatars had not gone very far, but he really did not dare to abandon his horse and pursue them. If he did not pay attention, his entire army would be annihilated.
There is no need to chase.
Tens of thousands of Tatars, how many days can they last with that little food?
I'm afraid half of them will starve to death, and the Tatars who survive probably eat the corpses of their tribesmen.
…
After climbing over a mountain, Shuo Sai was so tired that his whole body was weak.
He called several Niulu subordinates under his command and said: "Our family members are all in Hetuala. The families of our soldiers are all in the east of Hetuala. Others can escape with their tribes, but we can only do it ourselves."
Escape. Without parents, wife and children, what's the use of escaping? What's more, is it really possible to escape? The food that everyone brings will be eaten in less than ten days. What should we eat then?
?”
The sergeants could not answer. The valley palpitated.
Shuosei asked again: "Do you want to survive? Do you want to be reunited with your family?"
"think!"
"Your Majesty is smart, please come up with a solution!"
The subordinates spoke one after another.
Shuosei pointed in the direction of Fu Lata: "The people in Mandahai are not easy to deal with, but Fu Lata has never fought many battles. After nightfall, we quietly kill him and cut off Fu Lata's head. You each cut one.
Head, let’s go back the way we came and go down the mountain to join the Datong Army.”
The subordinates were all dumbfounded. You are Prince Chengze and Huang Taiji's biological son. You actually led your troops to join the Datong Army?
But Shuosei said: "My uncle has already launched an army to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Why can't I do the same?"
Shuosai's uncle was Nanchu of Yehe tribe.
At the beginning, Huang Taiji killed Shuosei's grandfather and married Shuosei's mother, just to rule the Yehe tribe better.
Then, the sexy operation came.
Huang Taiji not only remarried his concubine to Shuo Sai's uncle Nanchu, but also remarried his concubine Yehenala, Shuo Sai's biological mother, to another minister. After this minister's death, he was married to him
mother, and then rewarded it to other ministers.
As the biological son of Huang Taiji, Shuosai was rewarded by his mother.
Especially after Nanchu rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, Shuosei, as Nanchu's nephew, had been squeezed out by Dayu'er and other nobles. There were very few Niulu under his name, only four left, and the treatment of these soldiers was also very poor.
To be honest, I didn’t want to do it for a long time.
Shuosei's original idea was to suddenly switch sides and perform meritorious service during the decisive battle between the two armies, but he did not expect that he would not be given a chance at all.
This guy didn't have a mother to protect him since he was a child. He was always bullied and couldn't play with other brothers. So he didn't practice martial arts very much. He liked to learn Chinese and had close relationships with those Han officials.
Da Yu'er didn't like Han culture and hated Shuo Sai even more. This was another reason why Shuo Sai was excluded.
Shuosei said to his subordinates: "The Han family has been prosperous for thousands of years, and dynasties have changed continuously. What is the great liquidation? It's just barbarians. You and I are barbarians, how can we compete with the Han people for the world? If the Queen Mother can
By changing customs, there is still a chance for revitalization. But she rejected Han culture and didn't even bother to learn Chinese, so how could the Qing Dynasty not fail?"
This statement is purely the loser's worship of the winner.
Shuo Si in history didn't care about these things after entering the customs. I don't know how much Han blood was stained. He first killed Li Zicheng's general Ma Shiyao, and then followed Duduo to destroy the Hongguang court of the Southern Ming Dynasty. He led his troops to put down many Han uprisings in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and then
He led troops to quell the Mongolian rebellion in the foreign vassals. He then quelled the Han uprising in Tianjin and presided over the Monan Mongolian League.
The master of this time and space was only 21 years old at this time. He had no time to win so many battles, but kept losing battles. The more he lost, the more he studied Chinese, the more he felt that the Han people were invincible.
In the dense forest at night, Shuo Sai led a thousand men under his command and quietly headed towards Fu La Pagoda.
This guy personally took a few people with him to chat with Fu Lata under the pretext of discussing business, and asked the rest of the soldiers to ambush outside.
After the two met, they began to complain about Mandahai. The more they spoke, the more passionate they became. It seemed that the reason for the decline of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was due to the split of Mandahai.
While they were chatting, Shuosai drew his sword and said to Fu Lata: "This traitor, I wish I could kill him with my own hands!"
"That's not necessary, this guy is very powerful, you can't beat him." Fu Lata quickly persuaded.
"snort!"
Shuosei pretended to be angry and suddenly swung his knife.
Fu Lata didn't react at all. He covered his neck with blood gushing out and slowly fell down in confusion.
"ah!"
Fu Lata fled over the mountains and ridges for his life, and he actually took his maid with him. At this moment, the maid was so frightened that she screamed.
Shuosei also chopped down the maid with a knife, and several of the people he brought with him also attacked Fulata's soldiers one after another. By deliberate calculation or unintentional, Fulata's soldiers were killed by surprise, and they were completely unable to organize an attack.
Not understanding what was happening, he was so frightened that he just ran for his life.
"woo woo woo woo!"
Shuo Sai blew the horn, and all the surrounding ambush troops came out, and the soldiers chasing Fu Lata began to massacre.
After each person cut off a head, they began to gather slowly and followed Shuo Sai down the mountain to join the Datong army.
"Nanbarbarians are coming to kill you?"
Man Dahai was awakened by horns and shouts of death.
It was far away here and it was difficult to understand the situation. Mandahai's soldiers were confused even after asking questions.
The rest of the Manchu nobles were also frightened. They really thought that the Datong army was coming to kill them. They ran away regardless of the situation. The mountains and fields were full of chaotic Tatars. Many of them had no time to take away their only food.
.
"My lord, run away quickly, the Nanmanzi are coming to kill you!"
Not long after, the chaos spread to Mandahai, and they still don't know that Shuosei took the lead in rebelling.
Unable to find out the truth, Mandahai had no choice but to escape with his troops and did not stop until the next morning.
Tens of thousands of Tatars ran away at night and formed dozens of groups in the mountains. Mandahai ordered the trumpets to be blown before they gradually gathered. However, many Tatars at the bottom did not want to come together again and hid their food scatteredly. They planned to
Just hunting and farming in the mountains.
As for Mandahai, I don’t know where to evacuate.
He planned to go back to the mouth of the Meihei River first to see if it was occupied by the Datong Army, and he would have no choice but to lead his troops to Heilongjiang.
