Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

Give up and stop chasing?

It's impossible. I will never give up in this life.

Even if Dorgon ran to heaven, he would capture the Jiannu.

Admiral Zhen had promised that if Dorgon was captured, he would be promoted to the rank of a thousand households.

By then, I can propose to Yu'er openly!

When he thought of that beautiful lady who was willing to do anything for him, endless strength surged in his heart.

He tightened the reins in his hand and swung them around the deer's neck.

"Chase!"

Chapter 470 Kill them all! Kill them all for me!

The Seward Peninsula is located at the westernmost tip of Alaska, adjacent to the Bering Strait.

On the peninsula, both the forests and the mountains are covered with snow. Under the gentle morning light, they appear white and bright, empty and quiet.

At this time, a group of uninvited guests from the other side of the strait broke into this long-untouched coastal snowfield.

A few reindeer that were foraging not far away were frightened and ran into the forest, knocking down the snow covering many trees, which fell down one after another.

At the edge of the snowfield, Dorgon's troops rushed over.

Since the ice cap was not suitable for galloping horses, his 300 horses had broken legs, fell ill, died of exhaustion, and were eaten as food...

By the time we got here, we had lost more than fifty horses.

At this time, Kudang looked at the scenery in front of him, which was not much different from that on the other side, and asked:

"Khan, we have been traveling for a whole day and night, and we are all exhausted. How about we stay here for the time being?"

"Anyway, we have already crossed over a hundred miles of ice cover. I don't think that lunatic from the Imperial Guard will chase us again."

Dorgon looked back at the endless ice field behind him.

Even though he was so far away from the Ming Dynasty, his heart still could not completely calm down.

"No, I have come so far just to be able to focus on my great cause. Unless there is no trace of the Ming army before the Yanian Gorge thaws, I will not be able to rest easy."

"Kudang, arrange for twenty people to station and watch along this coast until the seawater completely thaws. If there is no enemy, you can head south to join the main force."

"Yes, Khan!"

Kudang took the order and rode his horse to the rear of the team.

When he came back, twenty-four riders had already dispersed and left along the coast to the north and south.

Dorgon let out a breath and rubbed his hands.

"What kind of hellish place are these barbarians living in? It's much colder than Shengjing!"

"Let's go! Let's continue heading south. It should be warmer there."

After he said that, he pulled the reins and slapped the horse's belly with his feet. The warhorse under him immediately turned to the south and walked slowly.

They had been running for a whole day and were exhausted. Now that there were twenty people keeping watch, they didn't have to rush too fast.

More than 200 people, some on horseback and some on foot, marched southward along the flat terrain between the mountains and forests.

They stopped from time to time on the way to hunt birds and animals in the mountains to satisfy their hunger.

We walked like this for another forty or fifty miles.

Because of the mountains blocking their way, their direction was not always due south, but was overall biased towards the southeast.

It was already afternoon, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

Dorgon sat on the horse with his eyes slightly narrowed, his body swaying slightly from side to side as the horse moved forward. The sunlight shining on his body was warm and he felt very comfortable, which also made him feel much more at ease.

At this moment, Kudang suddenly pointed forward and whispered.

"Khan, there are people ahead!"

Upon hearing this, Dorgon suddenly opened his eyes, sat up straight, and looked in the direction he pointed.

Sure enough, I saw a wisp of smoke rising in front of me on the right, and it seemed to be about a mile or two away.

He immediately became alert.

"Everyone, enter the forest on the right and hide in the mountains!"

"Si Lie, go investigate immediately!"

At Dorgon's order, a warrior in strong clothes rode out on his horse and ran towards the direction of the smoke.

This man was another personal guard of Dorgon, Hesheli Silie of the Zhenglan Banner. He was agile, had excellent eyesight and was good at reconnaissance.

Seeing him leave, Dorgon immediately led his men into the mountains and hid in the forest.

"Khan, this is a foreign land. I wonder what the people here are like?" Kudang asked curiously.

Dorgon stared at the direction where Si Lie left and said:

"I once heard from a surrendered Han official that the Southern Ming had foreign envoys coming to our country, and all of them had blond hair, blue eyes, high noses, and pale skin."

Kudang was shocked when he heard this: "There are actually weird people like this in this world!"

Dorgon's eyes were slightly cold: "No matter what they look like, those who obey me will prosper and those who disobey me will perish. Anyone who dares to disobey this Khan will be killed without mercy!"

Kudang gave a thumbs-up: "The Khan is mighty!"

......

The distance was not far, Si Lie finished his reconnaissance and quickly rode back.

"Khan, I have investigated it thoroughly."

"There is a valley one and a half miles ahead. In the valley is a village with more than a hundred people living there, including men, women, old and young. Some of them wear feathers on their heads and hold bows and arrows in their hands."

"They were sitting around a campfire, barbecuing and dancing."

Kudang asked curiously, "What do they look like?"

Si Lie was a little confused when he heard this: "What else can they look like...Aren't they all black hair and yellow skin?"

Kudang was very disappointed: "It's not a blond and blue-eyed weirdo?"

Si Lie ignored him and said to Dorgon in a low voice: "Great Khan, I found that there are several people in this village who are wearing Han clothes!"

Upon hearing this, Dorgon could not help but recall the scene when the Ming army invaded Shengjing and the Jin royal family was massacred. Suddenly, the murderous intent in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.

“Han people!”

"Kill them all! Kill them all for me, the Khan!"

After saying this, he immediately ordered an attack on the village, leaving no one alive.

So, more than two hundred Jurchen cavalry quickly reached the entrance of the valley.

Although the weather is cold, the valley is not big and is surrounded by hillsides, so it is not affected by the wind and is relatively warm.

Many people in the village were barbecuing and dancing around the fire to celebrate the rich prey brought back by the hunting team today.

By the fire, middle-aged men were cutting barbecued meat and distributing it to the tribesmen, women were braiding the children's hair, and the elderly were eating and laughing while watching the dancing young people.

They all wear fur clothes and feathers on their heads, some of them have a lot of them, most of them have very few.

Among them, nine people were particularly eye-catching, and their clothes were very different from those of the others.

Most of them were wearing extremely tattered Song Dynasty clothes, and one was wearing clothes from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, but they were also very tattered.

Several people were chatting and laughing.

Maybe it's because they have lived here for too long, their accent has changed and is mixed with a lot of indigenous words, but they can still understand each other.

The atmosphere in the valley was joyful and peaceful.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the valley entrance.

People didn't even realize what was going on.

Because they have lived here for many years and generations, and have never seen so many outsiders coming at once.

Probably the most common animals that many people see in their lives are deer and bears in the mountains.

The few people wearing Han Chinese costumes reacted immediately and quickly drew their bows to shoot arrows, and some threw spears.

But the Jurchen cavalry came too fast and too fiercely, and they had no time to fight back before their heads fell to the ground.

For a moment, screams echoed throughout the valley. Dozens of strong men were killed first, followed by the elderly and children.

There were heads everywhere and blood flowing everywhere.

The last people left alive were more than 30 women in the village.

At this time, on a hilltop, a man and a woman who were having a tryst heard the screams and immediately looked into the valley, soon filled with endless grief.

"Father, mother!"

The girl burst into tears and tried to rush down the mountain.

The young man quickly stopped her, covered her mouth, and whispered to dissuade her: "Xiao Lan, you can't go! Our parents are gone, and we will die in vain if we go!"

Although her mouth was covered, Xiao Lan still cried and shouted incoherently: "Wuwuwu... Wuwuwu...Zhao Youcheng, let me go... Wuwuwu..."

........

At the same time, at the coast where Dorgon had landed before.

On a nearby roof, the Jurchen sentry in charge of monitoring the area took a nap and was about to go hunt for something to eat.

But at this moment, suddenly a sound of hoofbeats was heard coming from the ice cap not far away.

He looked closely and saw hundreds of reindeer running towards him, and the people sitting on them were all tall and strong.

He was so frightened that he quickly rolled down the mountain and galloped south on his horse following the traces left by the large army.

.........

Chapter 471 Car

Shi Bowen jumped off the reindeer, stepped on the soft snow, rubbed his butt with one hand and his old waist with the other, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He had previously complained about the discomfort of riding reindeer in the snow, but the moment he stepped onto the Yaniyan Ice Sheet, he realized how wrong he was.

Riding a deer across the ice cap is real torture.

The deer jumped very high and landed hard. If he hadn't pulled the reins and slowed down, his skeleton and brain would have been shaken apart.

At this time, Dusha also jumped off the reindeer and came to him.

"My lord, you look like you are not used to riding reindeer!"

"My tribe has a method that can solve your current situation and allow the reindeer to move forward at a faster speed."

Shi Bowen was a little surprised when he heard this: "Oh! There is such a method? Does it take time?"

Du Sha thought for a moment and said, "It may take an hour."

When Shi Bowen heard this, he felt a little embarrassed.

"If we waste an hour chasing them here, won't those Jiannu run away?"

"No! No! Shi, please be patient for a while."

Du Sha smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. Not only will it not delay us, I can assure you that our speed can be increased by more than double than before."

Shi Bowen's worry turned into joy. "If that's the case, I couldn't ask for more. I'll have to trouble the young clan leader!"

"It's just a little effort, you're welcome."

Dusha said, turning back and ordering: "You ten, go to the forest over there and cut some trees to make a sled for the adults!"

He pointed to some other people and said, "I see there are still many reindeer tracks in the forest. Go and catch a few and bring them back to pull the sled for the adults!"

The Tungusic people are the deer-herding tribe of the Ewenki people, and are best at catching and domesticating wild deer.

When they heard the young patriarch's order, they immediately drove the deer into the woods without saying a word.

Shi Bowen couldn't help but praise when he saw this: "Young Chief really has sharp eyes. He can tell at once that there are reindeers over there! But I can't see it at all, hahahaha!"
