"The Han people are indeed unreliable. They were beaten like this in just a few hours."
In the cold wind, Prince Azig of the Qing Dynasty was ashen-faced. After seeing a few scattered slaves who had fled back, he couldn't help but cursed: "These Han people are born to be slaves, and we still have to watch the war." Manchu!"
Geng Zhongming, who was next to Azig, looked a little embarrassed. After all, he was also a member of the Han people. After hearing what Azig said, he immediately flattered him in a low voice beside him: "Master, maybe Brother Yuanji was killed by the Ming army." His treacherous plot led to a moment of oversight and he fell into the trap."
"I am willing to lead my eight thousand soldiers and horses to go on an expedition and conquer the Yongping Mansion for my master!"
Geng Zhongming promised steadfastly, looking as if he was loyal to death.
Seeing Geng Zhongming's appearance, Azig couldn't help but sneered, and the flesh on his face trembled, and then he said coldly: "Obai!"
"The general is here!"
At Azig's order, a ferocious-looking young Manchu Eight Banners general with a beard on his face stepped out of the formation. He really held his head high and his chest was held high. He was so courageous that no one could defeat him!
"You lead your headquarters Niu Lu, and together with Geng Er...you cross the river with King Huaishun. After crossing the river, immediately form a formation in front. Don't act rashly. I want to see whether the Ming army is fierce or just happy. Han slaves are useless!"
"twitter!"
Ao Bai took the order and left. Seeing this, Geng Zhongming hurriedly went to Azig, then went down with Ao Bai and led his troops to prepare to set off.
After Obai and Geng Zhongming left, Azig did not hesitate at all and immediately shouted: "Namurajit!"
"The general is here!"
A general in armor also came out and surrendered to Azig.
"I heard from the fleeing servants that this Ming army has cavalry."
Azig said calmly: "The pontoon bridge has been built. You lead your cavalry across the river, and my king's banner will also cross the river. After crossing the river, you take the Mongolian cavalry to find where Zhu Ming's cavalry is. Let Ming Dynasty see what a real cavalry is!"
"twitter!"
The Mongolian cavalry general took the order immediately.
Following the order, Azig ordered the artillery battalion to prepare to cross the river. After the Mongolian cavalry and the Eight Banners cavalry crossed the river, the artillery crossed the river.
Azig now only has 16,000 troops left in his hands, including 8,000 Han troops and 5,000 Mongolian troops. As for his elite Eight Banners disciples, there are only 3,000.
But even so, Azig was not afraid at all.
Judging from past achievements, the Ming court would have to send at least 50,000 troops to defend itself against the 16,000 men under its command, and they would also have to defend the city. If they were to plunder outside the city, there would be nothing the Ming court could do. Own.
As for the remaining 14,000 people, Shang Kexi took 7,000 Han troops as vanguards, which had been defeated by the Ming court. The other 7,000 people were taken away by Jierhalang, the leader of the Xianglan Banner, and went to Beiping Mansion.
Peiping and Yongping are the last barriers between Beijing and Shanhaiguan. As long as they are conquered, the Qing Heavenly Army can march to the gates of Beijing and intimidate the Ming emperor.
Although there are only 7,000 people in Jilharang, Azig is not very afraid either.
Although Jierhalang is young, he already has the status of a famous general. Moreover, Yongping is an important defensive area. The Peiping Prefecture only needs Jierhalang to go and put pressure on the Ming Dynasty, so that the reinforcements of the Peiping Prefecture cannot support them. .
Azig believed in himself and took over Yongping Mansion in just ten days.
At this moment, Azig had recalled the scene where he issued a military order to his brother, the regent Dorgon, in front of Shanhaiguan. He could not help but clenched his fists and took a deep breath.
"The people of Ming Dynasty are all slaves. I am pressing down with the might of the Qing Dynasty. Wouldn't those people of Ming Dynasty look at the flag and surrender?"
Azig even thought very 'mercifully': "If the Ming people in Yongping Mansion can surrender, I can let those surrendering Ming people come to slaughter the city together."
…
Historically, Ao Baihui had great power in the government and the public when Kang Mazi was young, and became a powerful official in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
It's just that Aobai is still young now, with strong martial arts and skillful bow and horse. He once took the lead in the Battle of Pi Island and was awarded the title of 'Batulu'. He is a brave and invincible general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
At this moment, he led his 300 authentic Tatar soldiers and 200 Tatar cavalry, following the rear of Geng Zhongming's Han army. After crossing the river, he was ready to form an array at any time.
The Han army scouts on horseback were constantly going out, crossing the river and heading in all directions.
When marching and fighting, what matters is first-hand information.
If we can grasp all the enemy's movements, then the victory of this war will most likely be in their favor. Therefore, before the army officially sets off, scouts are undoubtedly very important.
When talking to Ao Bai, Geng Zhongming tried his best to flatter him, but Ao Bai said very little.
Although Geng Zhongming was the prince of the Qing Dynasty, in the eyes of the senior Qing Dynasty officials, he was nothing more than a higher-level minion and nothing more.
Among the Han people who were the king's servants, only Wu Sangui was worthy enough to take a look at him now.
There is no other reason. Wu Sangui has 50,000 elite soldiers.
Seeing that Ao Bai didn't pay much attention to him, Geng Zhongming was not discouraged. Just when he was about to say something nice to Ao Bai, he suddenly saw the deputy general coming in a hurry. He bowed to Geng Zhongming and Ao Bai and said, "Your Highness, Batulu, The scouts came to report that there was a group of Ming troops, about five or six thousand people, marching in the direction of our army under the banner of "Yu"! And behind the Ming army in the Yu camp, there were about ten thousand Ming troops following, with armors Elite, looking at his posture, he seems to be the elite of the Beijing camp!"
After hearing these words, Obai was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then he laughed and said: "The Ming army dared to go out of the city to fight in the field? Hahaha, what a big joke!"
Hearing Obai's voice, Geng Zhongming on the side had a vague premonition in his heart, and immediately persuaded in a low voice: "Batulu, according to the defeat of King Shang's troops not long ago, it was this gun that defeated them. The Ming army under the banner of Yu cannot be underestimated..."
"It's just a rhetoric after defeat. Don't you Han people like to say this the most?"
Ao Bai spoke disdainfully, as if he looked down upon Geng Zhongming: "That's how it was when we fought with our Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers. Now even if we follow our Eight Banners, the cowardice in our bones can't be let go!"
"In my opinion, this Ming army is no big deal."
Hearing Obai's disdainful words, Geng Zhongming couldn't help but bend down and flattered with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, yes, Batulu said yes, but Prince Ying ordered me to wait..."
Before he finished speaking, Obai said coldly: "Of course I understand what the banner leader said. Do you need to say it to a Han Chinese?!"
"Quickly assemble your troops and form an array. If something goes wrong, don't blame the flag master for taking your head!"
