Zhang Jingyangshan, a Manchurian inlaid yellow flag, held the rein in one hand, tightly reined in the horse's head, and swung the whip in the air with his right hand, making a "slap" sound.

He shouted loudly to stop the crowd, and said to them: "I remember that the Han people in the Southern Dynasties had a saying, 'Generals will not raise troops because of anger', today and Ming Dynasty General Wu Sangui's actions like this must be aimed at provoking us.

We must not act recklessly, lest we be fooled and fall into the tricks of the Han dog!
Besides, Prince Rui's military order has arrived, and we should follow the order. For the present plan, we should return to the camp as soon as possible. Only after receiving the military order of Prince Rui can we act again. "

However, Alkin, the other Baya Latuzhangjing, couldn't listen to the good words of Yangshan. He roared loudly and was about to lead his troops to attack.

At this moment, Yangshan and Alkin had led the army and retreated for about a mile. To the east of them was the rolling chariot formation of the Ningyuan Army, with rows of chariots in front and more than ten thousand Ningyuan Army soldiers behind them. It's less than a mile away.

On the two wings of the Ningyuan army formation, there are thousands of Ningyuan elite cavalry guarding each. Although they look very tired, they are determined and high-spirited, but they are not comparable to ordinary Ming army horses.

Just when Yang Shan was about to be overwhelmed, several horsemen and horses from behind rolled up holding a high flag.

When they came to the front, Yangshan and Alkin finally saw who was coming, but it was Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner Baya Latuzhang Jingtulai who was fighting together, leading a group of Baya La in yellow armor.

Right behind Tulai, there are actually ten Ba Yala warriors wearing golden armor, with black tassels floating on their helmets and spears, and a triangular recognition flag on their backs.

The allocated Shiku is a first-level officer in the Qing army. Although the rank is not high, it is the smallest combat unit in the Qing army.

But people gradually disliked the name Fende Pashiku for being too long, and then slowly began to call them Zhuangda instead of the name Fende Pashiku.

At the same time, there is a phenomenon among the generals at all levels in the Qing army, that is, there are many officers and generals at the same level. For example, there are several Gushan Ezhen, the highest military rank in each banner.

But only one of them is the real Gu Shanezhen, and the others are almost as if they have won a title. Only when the incumbent Gu Shanezhen dies in battle, or is demoted due to a mistake, will he have a chance to take over. .

The same is true for other military positions in the Qing army, such as Meilezhangjing, Jialazhangjing, Niuluzhangjing, etc., even the allocated Shiku.

After all, the more wars are fought, the more people will make meritorious deeds, but the total number of soldiers has not increased too much, and the military positions are still the same, and those who have been promoted can no longer be soldiers.

Therefore, most of them follow the orders of the higher-level officers, just like Tulai, and behind him are mostly strong first-level officers in the Bagala camp.

Tu Lai galloped to the front and shouted loudly: "Prince Rui has ordered that the reinforcements from the Ming army have arrived, and our army has an important task to do, so we must not easily fight with them. The two Zhang Jing hurriedly retreated the army, dare not listen Commander, behead!"

"... Those who do not obey the military order, beheaded!"

The Baya Lazhuangdas behind Tulai shouted the military order in unison, so that the surrounding Tartar cavalry could hear it and stop clamoring.

At this point, no matter how reluctant Alkin was, he did not dare to disobey Prince Rui Dorgon's military order in public. He rectified the Tatar cavalry without saying a word, and retreated slowly. Please go to war.

"It's getting dark, I'm afraid it will be dark in a while!"

Zhang Cheng, the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion, rode his horse and stood on a hill, looking at the Xiaoling River in the east, and sighed endlessly.

Beside him are Zhang Ruoqi, the commander-in-chief of the Liao King Division of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Dou, the military commander, Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong, and Fu Yingchong, the deputy general of the former battalion of the Shenji Battalion.

In the distance, the two pontoon bridges on the Xiaoling River still emit sparks from time to time, like sparks in the darkened sky.

The surrounding area is full of soldiers of the Xuanfu army. They come and go in groups to clean up the battlefield at the eastern foot of Huangtuling, cut off the heads of the Tartars, bury the corpses of the Tartars, count and seize them, and treat the wounded.

Although sporadic screams could still be heard occasionally on Huangtu Ridge, it had nothing to do with the overall situation. It was just that the Tartars, the second Tartars of the Han army, and Korean soldiers who had no time to escape were discovered by the soldiers of the Xuanfu who were in charge of Qingshan.

With the crisp sound of firecrackers, they can no longer cause harm to the world.

"General Zhang is really brave. The Xuanfu army is really like a tiger descending the mountain. In just...just this moment, they drove out all the Tartars and captives, and successfully captured Huangtuling. What a benefit!"

Zhang Ruoqi felt extremely happy in his heart, he is a man of great success, and he loves the feeling of pointing out the country after such a victory.

However, Zhang Cheng felt a little sorry for being praised by him, and hurriedly said: "Oh, Director Zhang is too well-known. This battle is so smooth, in addition to my soldiers in the Xuanfu, naturally, the credits of General Bing Wang and Deputy General Chen are also indispensible.

If it weren't for Wang Zongbing's Datong soldiers and horses blocking the southern route of Huangtuling, and without the sharp artillery bombardment of Shenji Battalion Deputy General Chen, it is hard to say whether Huangtuling could be captured. "

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Wang Pu and Fu Yingchong's faces were immediately filled with divine light. They were all in high spirits, especially Wang Pu raised his hand to dust off the dust on the fringe of his helmet.

Fu Yingchong said with a grinning smile, "That's right, these shameless Tartars have lived in a place of bitter cold for a long time, and they have never seen real firearms. Today we will teach them what it means to shoot a cannon."

"Hahaha……"

After he finished speaking, there was a burst of hearty laughter, and Wang Pu also said loudly at the side: "This tartar is too tough to beat, and I, Datong Erlang, haven't had enough fun yet, so why did he run so far that he couldn't even see a shadow! "

"Hahaha……"

After he finished speaking, everyone laughed wildly again.

Zhang Cheng was not at all surprised by their bragging. After getting along with each other for a long time, he had long been aware of their behavior.

And it's no wonder everyone is so happy. Their attack on Huangtu Ridge went very smoothly. Although the Xuanfu army who was responsible for the main attack also suffered a lot of casualties, most of them were not fatal.

On the other hand, on the Qing side, more than a thousand people were killed and injured only by the Tartars guarding Huangtuling. In addition, there were two 3000 people from the Han army and the Korean army, and a Korean general was captured alive.

The man's name was Lin Qingye, and according to his own report, he was an official in the middle of North Korea, the envoy of Ping'an Road, Bingma Jiedu.

This time, he was originally ordered by the King of Korea to send food and grass to the Tartars, but after arriving, he was escorted to the front line of Jinzhou, and he even claimed that he did not come voluntarily to fight against Ming Dynasty, but was completely forced by the Tartars. .

Moreover, Lin Qingye even proposed to meet the supreme minister of Daming who was in charge of Liaodong and commanded the battle. He said that he had important military information about the Tartars, but he didn't trust the generals below, but he refused to say anything.

At this time, Zhang Cheng thought of this person. In the original world, he seemed to have a memory, as if North Korea at this time did not give up on the Tartars.

It is also divided into two factions that are pro-Ming and pro-Qing, and they are fighting each other, but even the pro-Qing faction is actually for the purpose of seizing power.

Because, until more than 200 years after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea still used the Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty to record time and write history books, which shows its loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, when he heard the news about Lin Qingye's capture, he was very concerned about this person, but Zhang Ruoqi, Zhang Dou, Wang Pu, Fu Yingchong and others seemed to be indifferent to it.

Zhang Cheng had no choice but to be impatient and accompany them here to brag about the bullshit. After everyone talked for a while, Zhang Cheng's personal soldiers came to report that the Chinese army had moved to the west bank of the Xiaoling River.

Everyone moved forward, and there was naturally a lot of laughter on the road, talking about thirsty for the blood of the Huns, and the strong men hungry for the meat of the Hulu.

…………

"Commander, Lin Qingye said that he only told the most senior officer in our army, and no one else should hear it, but if there is one person present, he will not tell us about it." Zhang Chengfang replied.

At this moment, Zhang Chengfang has officially taken up the position of a Chinese military officer next to Zhang Cheng, and because Lin Qingye has a high military rank and has said that he has important military information, Zhang Chengfang led the Chinese military guards to guard him.

Zhang Cheng turned his head to look at Zhang Ruoqi. At this moment, among the crowd, Zhang Ruoqi, the director of the army, was naturally the highest official, but Zhang Ruoqi hadn't expressed his opinion, and Fu Yingchong couldn't sit still.

He still had a carefree expression, and shouted: "What does this Korean thief mean? Could it be that he was caught by us, and everything has to be arranged by him!"

As soon as Fu Yingchong's words came out, everyone in the Chinese army's tent immediately started talking.

Don't look at North Korea's loyalty to Ming, but inside the Ming court, they still look down on the king of North Korea and the officials in the court.

For nothing else, in the eyes of Daming, North Korea is a remote and barren land, where there seems to be no output except for wild ginseng and leather, and most of the materials needed are purchased and transported from Daming. .

Especially in the previous Japanese slave rebellion, North Korea was almost subjugated. It was not because the Ming court sent troops to help them drive out the Japanese slaves and restore the country in one fell swoop.

As far as this is concerned, the Great Ming Dynasty had the grace of rebuilding North Korea. This is also the foundation that North Korea has never forgotten for more than two hundred years.

However, at this moment, after hearing what Fu Yingchong said, Zhang Ruoqi also said: "Since he is already a prisoner, why are there so many rules, just bring them here."

But Zhang Chengfang, who stood upright in the tent, heard Zhang Ruoqi's words, but still stood there like a wooden stake, really motionless as a mountain.

However, everyone in the military tent was looking after each other, eating the dried fruit on the coffee table and drinking the freshly brewed tea, no one questioned this, even Zhang Ruoqi just glanced at Zhang Cheng from the corner of his eye.

Seeing that the scenes were about the same, Zhang Cheng gently put down the teacup in his hand, and said to Zhang Chengfang who was standing in the tent, "Go, everything will be handled according to Director Zhang's orders."

"Here! The general will obey orders."

Upon hearing the order, Zhang Chengfang responded loudly, then turned around and went out of the tent to escort the captured North Korean general.

Bingxian Zhang Dou was sipping tea all the time, watching everything that happened in the military tent with cold eyes. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, as if he was also secretly thinking about something?
After a while, Zhang Chengfang turned around and escorted a man in the uniform of a North Korean general.

This person seemed to be over forty years old. Although he was slightly slender, he was also very muscular. After entering the military tent, he showed no trace of fear on his face, and he didn't even kneel down.

He raised his head and looked straight at Zhang Ruoqi who was seated right above him, without any fear in his eyes, he asked directly: "May I ask who is sitting in the middle of this hall?"

Only then did Zhang Dou open his mouth and said: "Don't be rude. This is Fang Silang, a dignified official in the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty. I am here to assist the Liao King Division as the commander of the army under the orders of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. You are a minister of a small state. But it's so rude. Don't bow down quickly!"

After the North Korean general heard Zhang Ruoqi's official title, he also had a surprised expression on his face, and then hurriedly bowed down and said: "My next official, Lin Qingye, the envoy of the Ping'an Road of North Korea.

Because of the urgent persecution of the Jiannu Tartars, my king was helpless, so he ordered his subordinates to lead [-] soldiers to escort the grain and grass here by sea.

A while ago, when my fleet was passing by the sea, the Tartars ordered us to bombard the Daming Navy. We had no choice but to agree, and at night we sent people to sneak into the Daming Navy's garrison to tell the truth. Just dealt with it with empty guns. "

He said so many words in one breath, his mouth seemed a little dry, so he stopped and stood there, swallowing his saliva dryly.

Seeing this, Zhang Cheng hurriedly said to Zhang Chengfang: "Chengfang, untie the rope for him, move a chair for him to sit on, and fetch some water to relieve his hunger and thirst."

Lin Qingye felt that these words were the words that moved him the most since he entered the territory of Liaodong, whether it was the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty.

He couldn't help but turned his head to look at Zhang Cheng, and saw that the person who spoke just now was a young general in silver armor. For a moment, his eyes were full of surprise.

No matter what, he couldn't figure out how such a young general could sit in the same military tent with the doctor of the military department of the Ming Dynasty and the commander-in-chief of the Liao Wang Division.

"Ah. Could he be..."

Lin Qingye seemed to wake up suddenly, he guessed that this young general might be Wu Sangui, and he only knew Wu Sangui when he thought about it, that's why he had this thought.

After a while, the rope tied to Lin Qingye's body was untied. He sat on a wooden chair with a water bowl in his hand, took a few sips of water, and then said again: "Master Zhang Jianjun, my Tartar is important. The military situation can only be reported to Zhang Jianjun, so please order the unrelated people to leave."

Zhang Ruoqi had a very elegant smile on his face, but his expression was not surprised. He stroked his beard under his chin and said in a kind tone: "Envoy Lin Jiedu, don't worry, the people sitting here are all my commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty." , there is absolutely no possibility of leaking military aircraft, so you don’t need to worry about it.”

Wang Pu also seemed a little impatient. He had already taken off his helmet and put it on the table in front of him. He raised his head and caressed the fringe of the helmet, and said proudly: "You know, I waited without any effort. , then killed the Tartars and captured Huangtuling easily, and now you are also our captive, what right do you have to say these conditions here?"
