A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 277 It's like killing a dog!

"The Guan Ning army was ambushed, and the whole army collapsed?"

On the evening of the [-]th, the whole army of Xuan Dajun arrived at the side of the Luhu River. Unexpectedly, the whole journey was safe and sound.The Qing soldiers did not pursue, but only sent some sentry cavalry from a distance to watch.When the whole army arrived here, they would be safe. After the catastrophe, everyone laughed and laughed.

When camping in the evening, Wang Dou, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei and others heard the news.

The news came from Wang Doujun's Yebubu, and Wen Daxing respectfully reported to the three of them: "Exactly, the two military sects, General, Yebubu didn't accept the news from the brothers. Dorgon, Yue Tuo and other slave chiefs, All the soldiers and horses under his command went to Jize. The high supervisor army led the army to flee to the west, but for some reason, they went east. When they were twenty miles away from Jize, they were ambushed by slave soldiers and the whole army was defeated. The whereabouts of the high supervisor army were unknown. .”

Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei sighed: "It's an odd number."

Guo Yingxian, Yang Guozhu's general in the Chinese army, shouted: "See if they dare to rescue them, will they be punished now?"

Yang Guozhu shouted: "General Guo, how can you be so gleeful at the loss of your friendly army? Although our military sect is angry that Guan Ning's army did not save them, it is not something to be happy about how corrupt the state affairs are."

Guo Yingxian muttered a few words, patted his head and didn't speak.

Wang Dou sat quietly without speaking, only snorted.

In history, Gao Qi's ambush soldiers did not save them. After Wen Lu Xiangsheng was defeated and died, he led tens of thousands of Guanning troops to flee in a panic without firing an arrow.Same as this time, they wanted to flee west, but they headed east, and they were defeated, Gao Qiqian left alone, history repeats itself, Gao Qiqian is still just as stupid.

The two veterans sighed, and Hu Dawei said: "The friendly army is in disaster, but it's a pity that our Xuanda army can't protect itself, and we can't control so much."

Wang Dou said: "What the Hujunmen said is true, the state affairs are so corrupt, we can't go back to heaven. We should follow the original plan and go to Zanhuang to rest and recuperate. Let's see how the situation will be in the future."

……

On the field east of Jize, smoke and dust billowed everywhere, and countless Guanning cavalry fled everywhere. They panicked and beat their horses vigorously, just wanting to escape faster.Behind them, the cavalry of the Qing army in various armors chased north, causing panic among the Guanning army.

"Our army won a great victory. I didn't expect the Guanning Army of the Ming Dynasty to be so vulnerable!"

There was a sea of ​​Qing army flags on the field. Under several golden dragon banners, Dorgon, Yue Tuo and others looked at each other and laughed.

Without any effort, the Guanning army was easily defeated, and they had all their food, grass and luggage.Although Guan Ning's army mostly consisted of cavalry and did not kill many, after this great victory, the morale of the Qing army, which had been low since the Battle of Julu, was once again raised to the extreme, and they resumed their incomparable contempt for the Ming army.

Moreover, Duoduo, the owner of the Xiangbai Banner who was chasing after him, also brought a piece of news that shocked Yue Tuo, Dorgon and others.

"Lu Xiangsheng is dead?"

Duoduo shouted: "Exactly, the two great generals, when this prince pursued the remnants of Guan Ning, he captured a pro-military commander under Tang Tong's army. He confessed that it was Gao Qiqian who learned the news of Lu Xiangsheng's death. After that, he led his troops to flee in fear, not expecting to be ambushed by our Qing soldiers."

"It's no wonder that Xuan Dajun wants to withdraw troops. It turns out that Lu Xiangsheng died."

Dorgon thought about it.

Duo Duo shouted: "It's a pity, if I chased all the soldiers in the morning, I would have wiped out Wang Dou's men with one blow, it's too late now."

Yue Tuo's face was a bit ugly, this morning the Dorgon brothers strongly advocated the pursuit, but he suppressed it, now Wang Dou's remnants are far away, even if they wanted to chase, they couldn't catch up.

Dorgon glanced at Yue Tuo: "Forget it, the matter is over, so there is no need to mention it again."

He glanced at the banner owners present, and they all avoided his gaze, with a lot of fear in their expressions.Dorgon was satisfied, Lu Xiangsheng died, and his prestige among the banner masters unknowingly increased a lot.He once again took control of the entire army.

Dorgon said to Yue Tuo: "General Yangwu, Lu Xiangsheng died, Wang Dou suffered heavy casualties, Guan Ning's army was defeated, Ming has no soldiers who dare to fight. Taking advantage of this vigor, we need to discuss the matter of dividing our troops and looting. "

Yue Tuo regained his composure, and said, "That's right, Jinan of the Ming Kingdom is ruined, we need to think carefully about where to plunder next."

……

In the evening, Xuan Dajun set up camp beside the land and water, dug deep trenches, felled trees, and built a strong camp.When it was getting dark, some Guan Ning's rout soldiers fled to the front of the camp one after another, begging for shelter.Fifty miles from Jize to Julu, and another [-] miles from Julu to the side of Lushui, these Guanning routs lost all their supplies, and fled desperately for a long distance, both men and horses, all tired and hungry, especially in this cold winter The weather is even more unbearable.

Xuan Dajun hated Gao Qiqian and Guan Ning's troops early on, and ignored them.Those Guan Ning's defeated troops were about to enter the camp, and a burst of gunfire hit them mercilessly, causing them to scream and run away.In the end, Yang Guozhu felt compassionate and ordered the camp to throw out some grain and rice. As for these people wanting to enter the camp, he was determined not to allow them.

These Guan Ning defeated soldiers were ashamed and angry at the same time, they cursed and left, not knowing where they fled in the dark night.

As usual, in the camp, Wang Dou's camp is still on the front side. The strength of the Shun Township Army has long been affirmed by the whole army. With them in the front, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei and others can feel at ease, not to mention that Wang Dou also has Xu Yue'e Waiting for more than a thousand freshmen.

Wang Dou also ordered his subordinates to guard the camp, and shoot anyone who dared to attack the camp.Those Guan Ning routs made a fuss in the middle of the night before they gradually calmed down.When it was almost dawn, Wang Dou received an emergency report from Wen Daxing, the head of Ye Bu Shou Bai, which made Wang Dou sleepless.

"You mean, you found out about Gao Qiqian's whereabouts?"

Wang Dou glanced at Wen Daxing coldly.

Under Wang Dou's sharp eagle-like gaze, Wen Daxing knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

He said respectfully: "Exactly, brothers Ye Bushou, Long Er, Yang Hu, Zhao Qiang and others in the army found Gao Qiqian and others in the Hanjiasai area north of Lushui. There were only a few people beside him. The personal eunuch who serves, and there is no one else."

Wang Dou said: "Very good!"

He paced around in the tent with his hands behind his back, and looked at Wen Daxing with a smile: "Mr. Wen Baizong, I want you to do something with the general, do you dare or not?"

Wen Daxing was panting like a cow, vaguely aware of what Wang Dou wanted him to do, he knew that a good opportunity was right in front of him, without any hesitation, he kowtowed repeatedly: "The life of the villain has long belonged to the general. No excuses!"

Wang Dou helped Wen Daxing up with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Very good, after this matter is over, you will be the commander-in-chief of the Shun Township Army, Ye Bu Shou Qian, and there are more than a thousand elite Ye Bu Shou under his command!"

Wen Daxing was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Thank you for your cultivation, General, and I will definitely do my best for the General in the end, to repay the General for his great kindness."

……

Dozens of cavalry rushed out of the Shunxiang military camp, all of them were the most elite of Wang Dou's army.After they left the camp, they ran straight to the Hanjia Fortress area. At dawn, a group of people rushed to a ruined temple.For several nights Bushou was looking around in front of the ruined temple, it was Long Er and the others.

Seeing Wang Dou and others rushing towards them, they rushed up to meet him. Wang Dou got off his horse and said in a deep voice, "Are you in there?"

Long Er said respectfully: "Go back to the general, Eunuch Gao and others are inside."

Wang Dou nodded, and strode forward, Wen Daxing shouted to his subordinates: "Guard the four sides of the temple."

He led several people into the ruined temple with Wang Dou, and saw Gao Qiqian walking back and forth in the temple like an ant on a hot pot. The three mountain hats had long since disappeared, and the tufted brocade robe on his body was also covered in dirt, with many spots.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his head and saw that it was Wang Dou who came in. He couldn't help being overjoyed and rushed to greet him: "General Wang finally came to meet him, thank you, thank you."

Wang Dou smiled slightly, Gao Qiqian ignored Wang Dou's failure to salute him, and asked repeatedly: "Is there any food? Is there any drink? Our family is starving to death."

Wang Dou looked back and signaled, Wen Daxing ordered his subordinates not to accept them at night, took out drinking water and dry food, and handed them to Gao Qiqian and others.

Gao Qiqian and a few eunuchs gobbled it up. They haven't eaten or drank since yesterday afternoon.After running for another afternoon and night, everyone was hungry in this severe cold weather.The dry food carried by Long Er and the others was not enough for them to eat.

After Gao Qiqian gobbled it up for a while, he calmed down a little. He smiled happily and said loudly to Wang Dou: "General Wang's kindness in saving us, our family will definitely report it to the imperial court and give the general a great commendation."

Wang Dou just looked out of the window quietly, ignoring Gao Qiqian's words, he was silent for a long time, and slowly said: "Gao Qiqian, I have something to ask you."

Gao Qiqian was furious, and Wang Dou dared to call him by his first name, which was so disrespectful to him.The eunuchs beside him also scolded sharply.Then he raised his head and looked around, calmed down a little, now is different from the past, let's talk about it after getting away, at that time, he will definitely give Wang Dou a good look.

He suppressed the scolding of several eunuchs under his command, swallowed his anger and said: "If you have any questions, the general, just ask."

Wang Dou was still looking out of the window, and said calmly: "Your army is only tens of miles away, and I declare the army to fight bloody slaves, why don't you save them?"

Gao Qiqian said embarrassingly: "The slaves and thieves are powerful, and our family also needs to be cautious. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. Lu Duchen even died for the country, and our family is also guilty."

Wang Dou turned around, stared at Gao Qiqian for a long time, he slowly shook his head: "I really don't know what you are thinking, my Xuan army has fought bloody battles with the enemy for many days, tens of thousands of slaves are exhausted. You just need to take Tens of thousands of Guan Ning's troops give the enemy a thunderous blow, and this time the slaves and bandits will be wiped out!"

"You don't want such a big contribution, you would rather just sit back and watch the situation rot like this? You, Yang Sichang and others, in your mind, party struggle is really so important, and you want to get rid of Duchen Lu and me quickly?"

"presumptuous!"

Gao Qiqian screamed and roared, his voice changed: "Wang Dou, how dare you be so rude, you lowly warrior, say this to my supervisor and Mr. Yang Ge, this supervisor must write to the court to punish you for your serious crime !"

He roared like thunder, trembling all over, repeatedly ordered his men to prepare their horses, and pointed to Wang Dou's nose: "Okay, Wang Dou, just wait and see, look at our house..."

Speaking of this, he was stunned, and looked down at his lower abdomen, where a sharp sword pierced his body, and the sharp blade dripping blood protruded from his back.

Wang Dou's expression was cold, it was his imperial bestowed sword that pierced through Gao Qiqian.

Gao Qiqian was full of disbelief, he stared blankly at Wang Dou: "Our family is the imperial court supervisor, you dare to kill me?"

Wang Dou said coldly: "I, Wang Dou, will kill you like a dog!"

He turned the sharp sword and stirred it in Gao Qiqian's belly, Gao Qiqian's eyes protruded, and blood clots gushed out of his mouth.He is tall and tall, struggling to grab Wang Dou's face, but he can't.After Wang Dou drew out his sharp sword, he fell to the ground with a bang, but his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of horror and disbelief.

Screams sounded, and the eunuchs beside Gao Qiqian saw that Wang Dou had killed Gao Qiqian suddenly, they all screamed and fled.

Wen Daxing shouted: "Kill them!"

Taking a step forward, he chopped off the head of a eunuch, and the rest of Yebu Shou stepped forward one after another, chasing up and killing the fleeing eunuchs one by one.Soon, Gao Qiqian's entourage was completely dead. Looking at the scattered corpses on the ground, Wen Daxing and others knew what they had done, and they all looked ashamed.

Wang Dou's expression remained unchanged, he took out a soft cloth to wipe off the blood on the sword, and then put the sword back into its sheath.He ordered: "Check carefully, don't leave any survivors, dig a few big holes, and bury Gao Qiqian and others."

Wen Daxing took the orders, he didn't dare to look Wang Dou in the eyes, and led the crowd to rush away.They carefully inspected the scene, ruled out the traces of human smoke around them, and stabbed a few eunuchs in the heart a few more times to prevent their deaths from being incomplete, and even killed all the horses of Gao Qiqian and others.

After careful inspection, Wen Daxing led his men to dig a hole himself, and buried Gao Qiqian and others, including his men and horses. Wen Daxing didn't return to Wang Dou until it was confirmed that no water leaked.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and Wang Dou led Zhong Yebu to leave quietly.

There was no movement around, only the cold wind kept whistling, as if nothing happened around the ruined temple.
