Jierhalang's heart was solemn, he was ordered by the slave chieftain Huang Taiji to assist Dorgon here in name, but in fact he was responsible for supervision, and Huang Taiji's request was only to restrain the main force of the Ming army, not to fight with the Ming army here. Army decisive battle.

According to the results of the military discussions of the kings and ministers of the Qing Dynasty, Huangtuling and Shimen Mountain belonged to abandoned sons, and their main function was to delay the speed of the Ming army's advance and consume the spirit of the Ming army.

Hauge on the east bank of the Xiaoling River and Dorgon on the south bank of the Daughter River were both used to contain the strength of the Ming army, so that the Ming army could not withdraw to rescue elsewhere.

However, Hauge had another option, which was to wait for an opportunity to cross the Xiaoling River downstream, harassing or destroying the grain and fodder stored by the Ming army in the estuary.

And Dorgon's side is the focus of containing the main force of the Ming army.

According to the judgment of the Qing monarchs and ministers, the main purpose of the Ming army was to relieve the siege of Jinzhou, and the most convenient way to break the siege of Jinzhou was to go north through the east and west stone gates, and then cross the Nuer River, which is the south of Jinzhou City.

Therefore, they concluded that the main force of the Ming army to aid the Liao Dynasty must be used in the defense line of Shimen Mountain, so they left more than [-] Mongolian cavalry here, and even sent two princes to sit here to command, which shows that the slave chieftain Huang Taiji is against This is important.

Jierhalang glanced sideways at Dorgon, Prince Rui beside him, and said tentatively: "Prince Rui, this Ming army is quite brave and vigorous, don't be careless, lest you lose the fate of the Great Khan!"

Although there was still a smile on Dorgon's face, there was a hint of coldness hidden in it, he almost smiled grimly and said: "Wu Sangui's soldiers are exhausted, even if they attack, there will be no serious harm.

The focus of our army should be on the bright general Cao Zongbing, who dares to break into our Qing army formation, must let him know our interests and the power of our Qing army, otherwise it will affect the morale of our army and the morale of the southern army. If you are excited, it will be more difficult to attack. "

When he said this, he turned his head to look at the two people behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Engetu, Buyandai, you two lead the warriors of your own flag, one is to harass the flank, and the other is to block the back road. Today, no matter what , don’t let this Ming army escape from the formation, you must keep him here.”

Among the Eight Banners of Mongolia, Zhenghong Banner Gushan Ezhen Engetu and Xianghong Banner Gushan Ezhen Buyandai were ordered to accompany Dorgon to fight, so they were naturally assigned to Dorgon's command.

It was their Zhenghong Banner and Bordered Red Banner Mongolian Qingqi who roamed and attacked on the wings of the Manchurian Eight Banners army and horses.

As early as the 11th year of Chongzhen, when the Tartars invaded Daming capital, they followed Dorgon to fight together. They were very afraid of Dorgon's shady prey.

Although they captured a lot when they entered the bandits, the Battle of Julu and a series of battles in Jibei when they retreated also left a deep impression on them.

This made them see that there were still people who dared to fight in the Ming army, especially the few raids and night raids when they retreated to Jibei, which were deeply imprinted in their hearts.

The names of Sun Chuanting, Cao Bianjiao, Zhang Cheng and others were only known to them at that time. Although the Battle of Julu, Zhang Cheng fought with them, and it was very tragic.

But at that time, Zhang Cheng was still a little-known guerrilla with only a thousand soldiers under his command. What's more, there were Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, Yang Guozhu, the general soldier of the Xuanfu, and Hu Dawei, the general soldier of Shanxi. Yan, Jiang Mingwu, etc. are also participating generals, how can he stand out.

It was not until the Qing army retreated to Jibei that Sun Chuanting organized the Ming army to carry out several raids and night raids, and it was in this series of battles that Zhang Cheng came to the fore.

It was also at that time that Zhang Cheng became famous all over the world for beheading the Tartar thieves and Fuguo Gong Mazhan, and the king of Keqin County Yuetuo, and began to become a figure of great concern to both the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

For now, Zhang Cheng's name in the minds of the emperors and generals of the Qing Dynasty has obviously surpassed the existence of Cao Bianjiao and Wu Sangui, and can almost be compared with Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou.

But at this time, Engetu and Buyandai were very reluctant when they heard that Dorgon ordered him to lead the warriors of his banner to attack the Ming army of Cao Bianjiao's tribe.

They are all Mongolians. Engetu is originally from the Horqin tribe and lived in the Hada tribe for generations, while Buyandai is a Mongolian Ulut beizi, and his status is already noble.

They are not the same as the four people who are also the eight banners of Mongolia, Gushan Ezhen Yibai of Zhongzhengbai Banner, Gushan Ezhen Suna of Xiangbai Banner, Gushan Ezhen Wu Lai of Zhenglan Banner, Gushan Ezhen Hushibu of Xianglan Banner of.

Yibai and the other four were Manchurian Tartars who were appointed by Huang Taiji, the slave chief, as Gushan Ezhen of the Eight Banners of Mongolia.

In fact, Engetu and Buyandai are of Mongolian origin, just like Adai of Gushan Erzhen Adai of Zhongzheng Yellow Banner and Gushan Ezhen Dalai of Xianghuang Banner in the Eight Banners of Mongolia.

Although they are generally loyal to Huang Taiji now, but they are Mongolians after all, and they still have to put themselves in the shoes of their own people in many things.

Externally, they were of one mind with the Manchurian Tartars and the slave chieftain Huang Taiji. Together they attacked North Korea and plundered Ming Dynasty, but internally they still had their own selfish motives.

Although they are Gushan Ezhen of the Qing Dynasty now, they will eventually return to the place where their clansmen live together. Even if they never go back in their entire life, their nephews are still there, and they must leave some inheritance for their children and grandchildren.

Unlike those Manchurian Tartars, Gushan Ezhen, who is the Eight Banners of Mongolia today, may return to work in the Eight Banners of Manchuria tomorrow. They can pat their buttocks and leave, but Engetu, Buyandai and others cannot.

Although they had such careful thoughts, they did not dare not to disobey Dorgon's military order, so they answered the order loudly and rushed to Gaogang to leave.

Dorgon didn't even look at them, turned his head and said to Jierhalang: "Please also invite Prince Zheng to stay here and watch the enemy's battle for me."

Jierhalang was also shocked when he heard the words, and asked with a surprised face: "Prince Rui, are you going to fight in person?"

At this time Dorgon got up and went down to Gaogang, he turned his head and said with a grinning grin, "I'll go meet this fierce general of the Southern Dynasty for a while!"

Jierhalang is also a character who fought in the sea of ​​swords and blood, so he is naturally not afraid of swords, but he doesn't want Dorgon to risk his own life with arrows and stones.

After all, Dorgon is the Commander-in-Chief of the Qing Dynasty in this direction, so he stepped forward to stop him and said, "Prince Rui, stay away, you are the commander-in-chief here, you can just be the commander-in-chief, and thousands of horses and thousands of troops still need you to dispatch them, why not?" You can come to the battlefield in person."

He went on to say: "Prince Rui sits in the army, I will go meet that famous general."

…………

Cao Bianjiao didn't charge straight all the way in the Qing army camp. He relied on his keen intuition, turned left and right, and continued to kill. Along the way, he kept ordering Mingqi behind him to set fire to the camp.

Suddenly, chaos erupted in the Qing army camp!

They finally ate their own bitter fruit. When Cao Bianjiao led his troops into the camp, they didn't pay too much attention to it, but now they want to intercept, but they lose sight of the other.

Qingqi organized a team to intercept, but Cao Bianjiao led the army to the other side, and this team of Qingqi could only chase after it, or the Qingqi was led by Cao Bianjiao before the formation was completed, breaking the army. go away.

Even if Engetu and Buyandai led the Mongolian Qingqi to come, for a while, there was no way to take Cao Bianjiao.

In the past, they were all riding and shooting outside, teasing the soldiers of the Ming army's cavalry formation, but today everything was reversed. Cao Bianjiao led his fine cavalry, rushing back and forth in the Qing army formation, very happy.

However, Qingqi and Mengqi surrounded them all around, and they were still unable to stop them. They could only follow behind the Jingqi of the Ming army, chasing them relentlessly.

However, for Cao Bianjiao in such a situation, even if it is beneficial, it is also disadvantageous!
The good thing is that he has fully grasped the initiative on the battlefield, and now he is leading the Qing army around, and it is entirely up to him to decide which direction he wants to go.

The disadvantage is that once the momentum of the charge is exhausted, or the Qing army blocks the camp, it will become a situation where enemies are surrounded on all sides, and it will be extremely difficult to charge out again.

Jierhalang led more than a hundred Ba Yala soldiers with inlaid blue flags and galloped towards Engetu. He asked, "Why didn't you intercept the southern army?"

"Prince Zheng, Minggou is very cunning, he insisted on not confronting us, so we had to chase his ass and run."

Engetu was clearly in a panic, but there was really nothing he could do about Cao Bianjiao.

Jierhalang was much calmer and more thoughtful than him. When he stopped Dorgon just now, he had already figured out how to deal with Cao Bianjiao.

After giving orders, he dispatched the Qing generals gathered around him to various places, only asking them to stick to the points assigned to them, and not to chase the Ming army rushing into the battle.

In the end, he said to Buyan Dai: "This king sees that the southern army's target is the central army, you don't want to pursue it anymore, and quickly lead the knights under your command to strengthen the defense where Prince Rui is."

After some distribution, he led more than a hundred Ba Yala in his banner, plus hundreds of armored cavalry with a blue flag, and followed Cao Bianjiao.

Why don't you say that ginger is still old and spicy?
Jierhalang hit Cao Bianjiao's vital point in one fell swoop. If he still intercepted it like before, he would be exhausted and unable to stop Cao Bianjiao at all.

Because the Qing army had to study and judge Cao Bianjiao's direction of travel in order to pre-arrange troops to intercept him, but Cao Bianjiao could change his direction at any time, which made the Qing army's arrangement useless, and he had to continue to pursue him.

But Jierhalang's strategy is much more clever, because Cao Bianjiao's goal is the place where the Tartar army is located on the high hill, but there are only a few necessary roads to get there.

Jierhalang divided the Qing army into several waves and ordered them to guard the main roads. With such an arrangement, no matter how much Cao Bianjiao clashed, he would eventually meet one of the groups of Tartars.

As long as Cao Bianjiao is bitten by one of the tartars, the pursuers will immediately come to surround him, and then the tartars from all directions will gather.

At that time, even if Cao Bianjiao had a pair of wings, it would be difficult for him to escape from the Tartar army.

What's more, the more than [-] Qing cavalry who went to attack Wu Sangui's camp are also slowly retreating. Even if Cao Bianjiao is extremely lucky to rush out of the Qing army camp, he will be surrounded again by the retreating Tartar armored cavalry.

…………

Here, after receiving the order, Manzhou Xianghuang Banner Baya Tiao Zhang Jing Yang Shan and Zheng Lan Ban Ban Ya La Tiao Zhang Jing Alkin were directing the knights to retreat slowly.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the rear, and Yang Shan rode up to take a closer look, and couldn't help being furious.

Because the officers and soldiers of Ningyuan Town in the Ming Dynasty rolled out rows of chariots, and in front of these chariots, above the muzzles of artillery erected high above, they were impressively helping the Qing soldiers who did not know how to live or die.

Some of the Ming soldiers who were following the chariot even stabbed them with their spears from time to time. Every time they stabbed, there was a heart-piercing howl.

The soldiers of the Ningyuan army laughed wildly, and some cavalrymen from Ningyuan town roared and galloped around their chariots, sometimes rushing close to the chariot, and whipped their whips hard.

The Qing soldiers who were tied to the chariots often let out a miserable cry.

The Qing soldiers who were forming an formation and retreating slowly also showed expressions of shock and anger, although they often humiliated the captured Ming soldiers and civilians.

However, their own warriors can torture the Ming soldiers and civilians, but the Ming soldiers cannot torture their Qing warriors. This situation is absolutely unacceptable to them.

For a while, the army of more than ten thousand Qing cavalry no longer had the high spirits they had when they defeated Bai Guangen. Apart from being extremely angry, their morale was also secretly losing.

Suddenly, there was a louder noise in the Qing army, because the soldiers of the Ningyuan army rolled out another cart, and a tall wooden pole was erected on the cart.

On top of the wooden pole, tied high up was a Tartar Ba Yala officer, whose armor should be a white flag.

Someone seemed to recognize it, and the Qing army shouted loudly: "It's Baya La Jia La Zhang Jing of Zhengbai Banner."

"Mayser, it's Maisel..."

"Namdulu Maiser, why was he captured by the Southern Army!"

"Is it dead, why don't you move?"

The faces of Yangshan and Alkin were extremely ugly for a moment, their eyes were tearing apart, and they were furious. The warrior of the Qing Dynasty, Jialazhangjing of the Ba Yala camp, had never been so insulted.

Especially Alkin, who had a bad temper, roared angrily: "Bastard! Yang Shan, you lead the warriors and retreat back to the camp. I will lead the warriors under my banner to attack, and I will definitely take back the captured Bajala warriors!"

Although Alkin belonged to the Zhenglan Banner, he had a very good relationship with Meiser on weekdays. After all, they were both Ba Yala warriors, and the two of them fought together in the same banner before.

Just imagine seeing his old comrade in arms being insulted like this now, how can he not be angry, not to mention if he really just ignores it, what will be the face of Ba Yala?
Even the so-called prudent Banya Latiaozhang Jing Yangshan of Xianghuang Banner was filled with righteous indignation, and he was equally furious.

Yangshan, Guerjia family, the younger brother of Fei Yingdong, the first-class xinyonggong in the Qing Dynasty, and the son of Yinda Huqi, he was originally a Manchurian Xiangbai Banner, and was later transferred to Xianghuang Banner by Huang Taiji. Beijing.

Zhengbaiqi and Xiangbaiqi are equivalent to a family. Yangshan has known Maiser for a long time. Although he has not been in close contact with him, he is also a warrior of Ba Yala, so he naturally feels the same.

Now, seeing that Meiser is in Zhengbai Banner Baya Lajiala Zhangjing, he is being tortured so much by the Ming dog he has always looked down upon. Yang Shan sees it in his eyes, how can he bear it?
Seeing that there was a lot of emotion and anger around him, he couldn't help being startled, suddenly thinking of Prince Rui Dorgon's military orders, a cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

Yang Shan hurriedly shouted loudly: "Don't move rashly!"
