Chapter 129

Huang Taiji finally realized Hauge's pain that day. The cannonballs were flying towards the ground like rain.

It's a cannonball broth.

Soldiers fleeing on the ground were killed or stunned by the flying shells from time to time.

Don't say "The Eight Banners are invincible", under the bombardment of such powerful weapons, no one can easily escape.

The Jiannu soldiers who had already entered Yanmen Pass, after seeing the horrible scene behind, let go of their maids and rushed in, while the soldiers who had not yet entered Yanmen Pass fled in all directions.

The army was defeated like a mountain, and no one could stop such a level of defeat.

Huang Taiji looked at the messy scene around him, his face was full of anger.

These are his two yellow flags, his elite soldiers, but now they are being ruthlessly harvested like chickens.

The family fortune accumulated with great difficulty over the years, now dying in vain, made his heart feel like a knife.

The troops in Huang Taiji's hands still had an advantage, and the scene of the rout covered the sky and the sun, just like the ebbing tide.

"Blow it to the center of the crowd, blow it to a place with a lot of people!"

Chen Hu held up the binoculars and looked ahead, and said.

His face was full of joy.

Chen Hu will never get tired of fighting like this!
After a dozen or so breaths, the density of the artillery began to disperse.

Huang Taiji, who was fleeing for his life, breathed a sigh of relief.

Before they had time to rejoice, more intense artillery fire struck again.

The sound of rumbling guns exploded in a crowded place.

Corpses flew around, blood and flesh splattered.

Where is the way?

Only the smoke from the explosion.

Where is the light?

Only the light of fire when it burns.

The smell of gunpowder smoke, blood, and burnt air mixed together to make people sick.

Hauge threw away Huang Taiji's guard of honor, the big banner and other things.

Throw all those gorgeous armors on the ground and replace them with ordinary armor worn by soldiers.

They walked through the gunfire and ran for their lives.

The artillery fire gradually dissipated, and Chen Hu led the troops to attack.

The cavalry charged ahead, followed by the infantry.

He took the lead and rushed into Jiannu's rout.

Just like a tornado passing through the border, under the collision of war horses, there are constantly Jiannu defeated soldiers being knocked into the air.

Even if it is not knocked into the air, it will be trampled to death by the follow-up cavalry.

It was as if the gods descended to dominate the lives of these defeated soldiers.

These slave soldiers are professional soldiers of this era, but professional soldiers do not mean invincible.

The round of artillery fire just now had already shattered their courage.

Fear spread in their hearts, and panic made them run for their lives.

They are all frantically fleeing for their lives, how dare they resist? !
……

As the sun set in the west, gusts of north wind rolled up thousands of piles of snow, blowing away the smoke from the battlefield.

The sky and the earth are clear and bright, and the surroundings are clear.

Chen Hu brought soldiers and horses to gather the captives and the civilians who had been thrown away by Huang Taiji.

As for the Jian slaves who died, it was too late to clean them up.

The troops are still a little small, and we must first gather up these rout soldiers and civilians.

The same is true for Zhao Dading, the soldiers and horses under his command mainly gather rout soldiers and common people.

In winter, it gets dark quickly, and when the last sliver of the setting sun disappears from the horizon, the sky and the earth suddenly darken.

That is, the time for a bowl of rice, and the night is coming from all directions.

Sun Jie led the soldiers and horses out of Shanyin and headed for Yanmen Pass.

Chen Hu and Zhao Dading have already cleaned up Yanmen Pass.

In fact, Yanmen Pass did not suffer much loss. As soon as Jiannu attacked the city, the defenders fled away.

The light of the flashlight shines far away in the dark night, and the beam of light is particularly conspicuous in this empty wilderness.

The night covered Sun Jie, and he entered Yanmen Pass under the guard of armored soldiers and horses.

In ancient times, it was difficult to march at night. First, the flag orders were not clear, second, the lighting equipment was insufficient, and third, there were many soldiers with night blindness.

But these difficulties have nothing to do with Sun-jae.

Everyone has a flashlight, so why worry about not being able to find the way? !

Let the soldiers have a walkie-talkie, why are they afraid that the news will not be passed on? !

The food in the army is plentiful, so why worry about night blindness? !
Those slaves and captives were strung together with ropes, as easy as driving cattle.

After starving them for several days, they didn't even have the strength to resist.

Chen Hu greeted him outside the pass, and escorted Sun Jie into the pass.

Guancheng is not small and can accommodate many people.

In the guard's residence, all the generals in the army gathered together.

Chen Hu and Zhao Dading reported the results of the battle and the military situation one by one.

"My lord, more than [-] Jiannu have been captured now, and the capture is not counted!
When Jiannu was defeated and fled, he threw away all the captured people. These people were scattered outside the pass and were gathering. "

Chen Hu stood in the middle and said to Sun Jie who was sitting on the main seat.

Huang Taiji threw out all the captured people so that he could escape.

These people were scattered on the ground outside the pass, which seriously hindered Chen Hu's pursuit speed.

These are tens of thousands of nearly [-] strong people, how can they ignore it?

The main purpose of Sun Jie's trip to the capital this time is the population.

"My lord, it is because of these people that our soldiers and horses cannot pursue at full speed!"

Zhao Dading on the side also spoke.

"Since this is the case, the people are the main ones at the moment.

The people are my foundation, and if necessary, I can give up chasing and killing Jiannu! "

Sun Jie said.

Now Jiannu captives are enough, so don't worry too much.

In the future, there will be plenty of time to enter Liaodong. At that time, these scourges will be solved in one fell swoop.

"Follow your lord's order!"

The two made a loud noise.

……

For the next few days, Sun Jie still stayed here.

The people that Huang Taiji had thrown away hadn't been collected yet, how could they leave easily?
During this time, there is an obvious problem.

That is, these common people didn't believe in Sun Jie. When they saw Sun Jie's soldiers and horses, their reactions were similar to those of Jiannu.

The reason is that the officers and soldiers are too unbearable in the eyes of the people.

The bandits pass like a comb, and the soldiers pass like a grate.

From the middle and late period of Wanli, it is not uncommon for frontier troops to kill good men and pretend to be meritorious.

In the year of Chongzhen, soldiers and horses entered the capital to defend the capital, killing good men and taking meritorious deeds frequently.

Seriously weakened the new appointment of the people to the officers and soldiers.

Fellow villagers, in the eyes of some prostitutes, are just credits used to make up for their crimes.

These bad influences made the common people not have a good impression of the frontier army.

From Wu to Wu, the hostility towards the frontier army naturally spread to Sun Jie's soldiers and horses.

In particular, Sun Jie's soldiers and horses were extremely fierce. He was tall and big, and everyone wore armor. He was fierce and fierce. It was the first time I saw him. Under instinct, he ran faster than anyone else.

Running in the wilderness, drilling into the ravines all over the mountains and plains, it is not so easy to gather them up in a short while.

At this time, Huang Taiji took this opportunity to escape all the way north, the speed was beyond compare.

Run all the way from Yanmen Pass to the north, and break through the pass from the northern side wall.

Once outside the pass, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After counting the number of people, Huang Taiji gritted his teeth.

This time leading troops into the bandits, Huang Taiji led a total of more than [-] troops.

Only [-] soldiers and horses left with him.

That means at least 7000 people are gone.

In addition to the 4000 people lost by Haoge Zhenglan Banner, another [-] people were lost.

This result made Huang Taiji want to cry, and lost more than [-] people. Where has such a result been seen?

Even when the army was just raised, the battle for the founding of the country in Sarhu did not cause so many losses.

After Saarhu, every time he entered the customs, he didn't get a lot of money, but this time, he kicked a stone and broke his foot.

The captured people, food, farm tools and other things were all thrown away.

Many soldiers even threw away their armor in order to escape.

The Han Eight Banners, which were finally formed with great difficulty, suffered the most serious losses. The entire army was almost wiped out, and there were less than 2000 soldiers who escaped back.

Of those four Gushan foreheads, only Shi Tingzhu is left now.

There are not many people in the Mongolian Eight Banners, and there are not many losses.Most importantly, Wu Keshan was also lost.

Horqin's prince, the future Khan, just disappeared.

The loss this time is not insignificant, it can be called the most serious price since the establishment of slavery and the founding of the country.

If he knew of Dorgon's loss, I'm afraid he would spit out a mouthful of old blood on the spot.

Huang Taiji, who always boasted of being wise and powerful, was unable to resist the blow and fell ill immediately.

The snow on the grasslands in the north is thick, and it has finally snowed after many years of drought.

This is not a good thing. If there is too much snow, it will become a white disaster.

The snow has been covered to the knees, and every step takes a lot of energy.

A strong wind blew on the marching Jiannu.

The blowing snow squinted their eyes, making them unable to see the road clearly.

Some Jiannu fell on the side of the road while walking.

Lack of food and clothing, coupled with the loss of morale after the defeat, a large number of them were frozen to death.

In this extremely bad situation, no one will rescue them.

The number of non-combat attrition continued to increase, and the slave army wailed everywhere.

In the middle of the night, Hauge dug out a clearing in the snow with Huang Taiji's personal guards, and finally pitched up the tent.

All the firewood and coal in the army were thrown away when they fled.

The only thing I could do was chop up the carriage I brought out and use it as firewood.

If there are not enough carriages, the flags and everything that can be burned will be burned. If there is not enough food, the horses will be killed.

These princes and nobles are not bad, they will not starve to death.

Those low-level slave soldiers were miserable. There was no food in the army, so they could only dig grass roots under the frozen soil in the snow.

This is not enough to eat, only one meal a day can hang your life.

Hauge sat by the fire, fiddling with a large horse's leg on a shelf.

Huang Taiji was lying on the bed beside the fire, his face was ashen and his eyes were dull.

The fire was crackling, Hauge ignored the scorching heat of the horse's leg, tore off a piece of meat, blew it a little cold, and tried it raw or cooked.

"Damn Sun Jie!"

Huang Taiji on the bed suddenly stared wide-eyed, gnashing his teeth and yelling curses.

It's almost hysterical, and every day at this time, there will always be an attack.

Hauge was not as sad and indignant as Huang Taiji, after all, when the sky fell, Huang Taiji supported him.

These worries cannot enter his heart for the time being.

In the past, he wished that he could take power, and he wished for Huang Taiji's early death more than once.

But now, this idea has disappeared.

I hope in my heart that my father will get better soon, I can't carry this blame, my child.

Hauge was already used to it, he just glanced at Huang Taiji lightly, and continued to play with the horse's legs.

It was cooked a little more, and some meat was torn off, put on a wooden board, and brought to Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji ate a few mouthfuls to make do.

"Have people from Horqin come? This is the closest to Horqin!" Huang Taiji looked at Hauge.

A few days ago, Huang Taiji sent an envoy to Horqin, asking Horqin to send some food and tents.

"Not yet, all the people we sent out have returned, but what did Kebu and that old fox say, it is a white disaster, and the grassland is short of clothes and food, so there is really no way out.

What else are you talking about, we should gain something when we enter the customs to harvest food this time, we can't ask them these little people for it! "

Hauge said in a straightforward manner.

Huang Taiji became anxious again, and directly cursed: "This damned old fox, seeing that we were defeated, he began to be unconvinced.

In this case, don't blame us for being rude!
The order goes down and turns to Horqin. Since they are unwilling to give it, then we will take it ourselves! "

The strong draw their knives to the stronger, and the weak draw their knives to the weaker.

Bullying the weak and fearing the hard, nothing more.

……

It was much quieter outside Yanmen Pass, the battlefield was almost cleaned up, and Jiannu's body was basically buried on the spot.

Of course, the heads had to be cut off.

This is money, who would have trouble with money.

A total of more than 3000 Jiannu heads were cut off, and more people died than these, but many heads were blown to pieces.

In other words, these more than 3000 heads are relatively complete and can be sold for a price.

There were more than 6000 Jian slaves captured.

In other words, this battle reduced Huang Taiji's staff by nearly 1 people.

In addition, nearly [-] people were captured before.

In addition to these ordinary Jian slaves, they also caught two big fish.

One is Fan Yongdou and the other is Wu Keshan.

Especially Fan Yongdou, this guy is much more valuable than the captive Wu Bai or other slave generals.

If you don't rip off or rob Shanxi merchants, you will be sorry for this cannibalistic world.

Regardless of other things, I starved this old boy for three or four days.

Where did Fan Yongdou of the rich family suffer from this kind of crime? This meal of hunger directly starved him out of the hallucination.

In a dilapidated room in Yanmenguan, Fan Yongdou was lying on the ground, his eyes staring straight.

In a daze, he saw roast chicken, roast duck, rice, and noodles.

I couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and my stomach began to whine again.

There were footsteps outside the door, and a scent wafted into his nostrils.

With some spirit again, he raised his head and looked towards the door.

"Crench!"

The door was pushed open from the outside, and a gust of cold wind came in first, making his already trembling body even worse.

Sun Jie was standing at the door with a bowl of rice.

He closed the door casually and stood in front of Fan Yongdou.

"Master, master, here, give me a bite to eat!"

Fan Yongdou was lying on the ground, looking at the bowl in Sun Jie's hand, and kept swallowing.

"The leader of the Shanxi merchants, Fan Yongdou from the Fan family! Why, if you didn't follow your Jurchen master to Liaodong, why did you get caught by me!"

Sun Jie's eyes were full of sarcasm.

What kind of sympathy is there for such shameless traitors who surrender to the enemy and betray the country? !
How could Fan Yongdou listen to Sun Jie's words?His stomach kept whining, and his mind was full of the job in Sun Jie's hands.

He put the rice bowl on the ground, and as soon as it hit the ground, Fan Yongdou snatched the rice bowl away.

He didn't even use chopsticks, and stuffed the vermicelli into his mouth with his dirty hands.
