In Yanghewei, Datong Prefecture, Shanxi, Governor Ma Mingpei of Xuanda was frowning and unhappy in the Governor's Mansion.
Ask around: "Where did those horse thieves hit?"
The so-called horse thieves refer to the deputy generals of the Ming Dynasty and the young master Tumote.
After capturing the left and right banners of Tumut and Guihua City, they then went south to Yunchuan, Chi'er Mountain, Yulin and other places. Ma Mingpei sent Datong deputy general Zhu Yike to lead the 5,000 green battalion to fight in the Yulin area.
Unexpectedly, Bao Bao was so cunning that he did not fight Zhu Yike. Instead, he went east, crossed Xiashuihai, and captured Tucheng; then crossed Geerhai, and fell into Maoerzhuang again.
Maoerzhuang is already very close to Yanghewei. Now most of the Qing troops in Datong have been transferred south, and half of the rest were taken away by Zhu Yike. Ma Mingpei only has 5,000 governors around him. If the horse thieves come to attack Yanghewei
What should he do? When he thought of this, his scalp went numb, so he had no choice but to inquire about the horse thieves while recruiting people to guard the city.
He came to whatever he was afraid of, and replied: "Report to Du Xian, I just got the news that Tumute horse thieves have captured the horse drying platform again, and they seem to have the intention of peeking into Yanghe."
Hangmatai is a small city in Mongolia closest to Yanghewei. It is named after a rectangular high platform from the Shang Dynasty nearby.
After passing the horse-drying platform, there is the Great Wall.
Ma Mingpei thought about it, if his five thousand men were placed on the Great Wall, they would be invisible and unable to defend it. He simply did not defend the Great Wall and set up defenses along the Yanshui River in the Yanghekou area behind the Great Wall. p>
As soon as they arrived at Yanghekou, they received news that General Dong E and Eshuo of Guihua City had returned with their troops.
It is said that it is a great joy to come back, but Eshuo can't laugh. Along the way, his men have been fleeing. Especially the Tumut soldiers from Guluge and Tobok escaped the most, with seven thousand cavalry.
In addition to the hundreds of people who died in the battle, more than 3,000 people actually escaped, and only 3,000 were left. Under the control of the banner leaders, Darhan, the Four Sons, and the Urad tribes did not flee on a large scale, but because they included and robbed them
His family members are also unstable. Now there are only 11,000 of his subordinates left.
When Ma Mingpei saw E Shuo returning to help, he immediately had a backbone, "General, it's great to have you back. Yang and Wei will have nothing to worry about!"
E Shuo is an authentic Manchu and the father of Shunzhi's favorite concubine. Naturally, he doesn't take Ma Mingpei very seriously. He said with a gloomy face: "I guess the rebel chieftain Bao Luo has not yet heard the news about my arrival. We should take advantage of this opportunity when the traitor has no wings."
Feng, cut it off quickly, otherwise it will become a serious problem for the country. During the battle, you abandon Yanghekou and go southeast. I will form a formation a hundred miles southeast of Yanghekou to attack him.
At this time, Bao Bao already had an army of 20,000, and more than 2,000 of them were Tumut warriors who had escaped from Eshuo. Bao Bao designated the 5,000 troops who had passed through the army as the central army and ordered Basang to command them;
Sagun Chechen and Erlinqin each commanded 7,500 troops and horses, forming the left and right wings.
There are over ten thousand people and horses, boundless.
Baoluo's troops were all cavalry, one man with two horses. When they ran, smoke billowed out, and the 20,000 men ran out like 100,000 men.
"Young master, ahead is Yanghekou. After Yanghekou, there is Yanghewei. I heard that Ma Mingpei, the governor of Xuanda of the Puppet Qing Dynasty, has piled all kinds of supplies in Yanghewei City. Take Yanghewei.
, Erlangs will not have to worry about food and clothing." Erxiqin laughed loudly. He was a veteran from the era of Bao Bao's grandfather, Boshu Ketu Khan, so it was naturally easier to talk to Bao Bao.
"Haha, you Linqin, since you want to attack Yang Hewei so much, I will make you the vanguard," Bao Luo said with a smile.
Er Linqin was overjoyed and led his troops to kill at Yanghekou, followed closely by Baoluo and his army. In their view, Yanghewei was already a piece of cake. Indeed, it was so without E Shuo's return. "Retreat!"
At Yanghekou, Ma Mingpei saw that the Mongols were approaching fiercely. According to the original plan, he retreated to the southeast, covering a hundred miles.
Because it is close to Mongolia, everyone has a horse and has good riding skills.
"Da~da~da~"
You chased me and fled, blinded by the endless sand, and gradually escaped to the Eshuo formation.
At this time, the formation of the Mongols was in horizontal columns; while the Eshuo tribe was in vertical columns, with seven columns of Bental, Ombu, Tuba, Eban, Bakbahai, Guluge, and Tobok fighting.
At the end of the day, E Shuo took the lead.
The formation was favorable to the Qing army, and it caught the Mongols by surprise. The seven columns quickly cut the Mongols into eight sections, leaving them in pieces and completely defeated.
Erlingqin rushed forward and fell into a tight siege. Beilben Bashxi of the Garro Darhan tribe deceived Erlingqin because he was old and thought he had military exploits. Unexpectedly, Erlingqin was once a subordinate of Boshu Ketu Khan.
Although the fierce general was old, he was still very skilled in martial arts. After fighting for a few rounds, he killed Ben Bashxi with one sword.
Seeing the tragic death of his younger brother, Prince Bentar of Darhan became red-eyed and led his troops to fight around Erqin. Ma Mingpei also turned around and killed him. Outnumbered, Erqin fought hard and died.
"Young master, please change your clothes with me and leave." Bao Bao's bodyguards, Sanger and Bao Luo, changed their clothes and left carrying Bao Luo's banner. Bao Luo led some of his guards to flee north in panic.
"Da~da~da~"
The sound of hoofbeats was like thunder, and Emubu, the king of Doluo County of Siziwang Banner, chased the enclosing banner and tightly surrounded Sanger.
"Hahaha, yes, you can't escape, why don't you dismount and die?" Omubu laughed proudly.
"I'm afraid it won't be as the prince wants. I am Sanger, the bodyguard of the young master. My master has successfully evacuated north." Sanger joked that Omubu didn't recognize him, but he recognized Omubu. p>
The majestic prince was actually teased by a slave. Omubu was extremely angry and said to the people around him: "Shoot him to death!"
Arrows were like locusts, and Sanger was shot all over his body and fell to the ground, with a smile on his face.
"Drive~Drive~Drive~"
Including lightly kicking the horse's belly with your toes, tapping the horse's neck lightly with the riding whip, and the yellow gelding horse you ride on is very humane and runs very fast.
"Drive~Drive~Drive~"
Dozens of horses are chasing after me.
"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~"
Arrows shot out like rain, and one of them hit the horse's hind leg.
"咴聿聿", the yellow gelding fell down in pain.
Bao Luo glanced at the horse and knew he couldn't escape, so he simply turned around and stared at the chasing enemy.
"Slave meets young master," came a joking voice.
Baoluo quickly recognized the person who was coming. He was a general under his father Ermubu, and he was the commander of the Tumed Left Banner of the Qing Dynasty.
"Guluge, you are my father's old subordinate. If you are willing to let me go back to Tumote, I will definitely thank you very much!"
"Haha, young master, this slave is no longer a member of the Thousand Households of Tumut, but the commander-in-chief of the Tumed Left Wing Banner of the Qing Dynasty. I forgive you for not obeying your orders," Gulu Gepi said with a smile.
Bao Luo felt a chill in his heart, knowing that if he couldn't explain this guy, he would definitely die. In desperation, he suddenly laughed loudly, "Guluge, do you know who I am now? Who sent me back to Tumut?" Guruge was stunned, "You are the young master of the Tumut people. Is there anyone in the world who can command you, young master?"
"To be honest, I have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and am now the deputy general of Guihua City. It was Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty who ordered me to return to Tumote to harass the Manchu rear. If you kill me, you will offend the Ming Emperor. Wait for the Ming army to return north.
When it is transformed, the entire clan will surely be wiped out."
Gu Luge was confused. His young master actually returned to the Ming Dynasty and became the favored minister of the Ming Emperor. Now it was obvious that the Ming Dynasty was strong and the Qing Dynasty was weak, which offended the Ming Emperor. It was so terrible that he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. Little did he know that including this mere little prince,
He couldn't get into Emperor Guangwu's eyes at all, it was just Fan Youxian who sent him here.
Seeing that Gu Luge didn't speak, Bao Luo knew that pulling the Ming Emperor's tiger skin was effective, and then said: "If you can let me go, I will definitely ask for an official position from the Ming Emperor for you. When the Ming army comes, I will definitely
To keep your whole family safe. In addition, I am willing to pay one hundred thousand taels of silver to buy my own life. How about that?"
When he heard about one hundred thousand taels of silver, Guruge showed a smile and said, "This slave is a Tumut, so naturally he is facing the young master. I just wanted to test your courage. Please don't be offended, young master. Come and get a good horse."
Give the horse to the young master".
After saying that, Chong Baobao cupped his hands and said, "This is my farewell, young master. Please forgive me if I'm rude."
The horses' hooves were flying, and in an instant the group of people had disappeared.
Bao Luo saved his life and secretly sighed that it was great to have the Ming Dynasty to rely on. Once upon a time, he had 20,000 cavalry in his hands, and he had the idea of dominating the grassland, and he had a faint heart of disobedience. Now he has suffered a big defeat, and he is known as
Wang Tuba is not an easy task, it is good to be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty honestly."
Bao Luo escaped from Hui Hua City and joined forces with Sagan Chechen and Basang, leaving only more than 7,000 people.
He asked Sagun Chechen with a sad face: "Sagun Chechen, what do you think I should do?"
Sagan Chechen remained calm and unhurried, "If you can't defeat us, leave. Please take the Tumed troops to move."
"Migrate? Where to go?"
"Go to the Ordos grassland. I heard that the six tribes of Ordos have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. If you go there, you will definitely get help from Guludai Qingshandan, Xiaozhamusu, Dazhamusu and other noble people!"
"Well, that's all we have to do"
Including the Tumed tribe and the captives of Darhan, the Four Son Kings, and the population of the Urad tribes, all moved to the right-wing front banner of Ordos.
E Shuo regained the Guihua City and Tumut's left and right banners, which was a great achievement, but he couldn't laugh out loud.
Most of the population in Guihua City has been moved away, leaving only some Han people. Bao Bao voted for the Ming Dynasty and did not dare to be rude to the Han people, so he only moved away other people and left the Han people; Tumut left and right flags,
It was empty, with few herdsmen in sight.
Without a population, where would the money and food come from to support the army?
E Shuo was so angry that he yelled: "Bao Bao, this general will cut you into pieces!"
