Chapter 407 Drinking Hate Jiangbei III
When Gao Jie saw this and knew that the officers and generals on the opposite side understood what he was thinking, he felt relieved and prepared to prepare a certificate of surrender for himself. He took his cronies with him and headed towards the tiles in the formation with a small number of cavalry and soldiers. Kill Keda.
Gao Jie was always the vanguard when he raised an army, and he fought with extraordinary bravery. He was responsible for the capture of Shandong after surrendering to the Qing army. He had been ridiculed by Wakda before, but now he saw that the senior general who had just teased him was being guarded by his own soldiers not far away. , suddenly burst into flames, and after settling down Xing, he suddenly rushed towards Wakda.
At this moment, Wakda was angry at the betrayal of Han Junqi and was worried that he could not find a place to vent. However, he happened to see a large group of people rushing towards him. Regardless of Baha's dissuasion, he led the people to kill the familiar face. go.
"You are so brave, you Han dog..." Wakda cursed angrily, waving his long knife and killing Gao Jie: "Today, Japan Beizi is going to sacrifice your head to the flag."
Gao Jie was still worried that there were too many people around Wakda and he would not be able to rush over, but he never expected that Wakda would actually break through the guards and lead a group of people to kill him. He suddenly laughed: "You came just in time."
The two sides missed each other, and more than a dozen people fell to the ground immediately. Gao Jie and Wakda passed by their horses, and the two long knives collided with each other. Sparks immediately flew out. There was a gap in the blades of both men, but there was no trace of them. It does not affect the battle between the two.
Turning their horses' heads, the two men charged forward again. It was too dangerous to fight like this in the midst of the chaos, and it didn't help that both of them had more than a hundred personal soldiers to charge together.
The weapons of the two collided again, but Gao Jie suddenly flew towards Wakda like a barbarian. This was exactly the same as Chen Cao's operation to kill Mulhaqi.
Wakda was knocked off his horse by Gao Jie, but he was not as old as Mulhaqi, but he was able to stand up immediately and finally escaped Gao Jie's fatal blow. The two immediately hugged each other and wrestled. The bulky armor made it impossible for both of them to exert great strength.
However, the two soldiers stopped charging at this moment and dismounted to help each other. Then the two groups fought together.
A young soldier from the 323rd Regiment had his face covered with blood at the moment. His face was full of hesitation and the nervousness of killing someone for the first time. He accidentally got into the melee between Wakda and Gao Jie's soldiers.
The soldier holding the bayonet stared at the two people who were fighting at his feet not far in front of him. One had pigtails with a bruised forehead, and the other had pigtails with a money rat tail. His hair was shiny and shiny. The fake Tatars saw that both of them took out the daggers from their waists and stabbed each other. However, because the two were fighting at close range, the sprint force of the daggers could not penetrate their respective armors, and the dagger tips even became bent.
At this critical moment, the soldier suddenly woke up from a dream, screamed loudly, and then resolutely thrust the bayonet in his hand toward the Tatar with the golden rat tail.
Things that a dagger cannot do are simply child's play in front of the steel three-edged bayonet. The bayonet easily penetrated Wakda's ribs, penetrated the chain armor inside, and then entered his body.
The soldier even turned the bayonet inside his body before quickly pulling it out.
Wakda felt a chill in his ribs, then his throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood came out of his mouth like a spring. Gao Jie was shocked, and then he realized what he was doing, and kicked Wakda away, who had lost all his strength, and took a look. The soldier, who was still stunned, picked up a long knife from the ground and slashed it towards Wakda's neck.
Wakda's soldiers all saw this and shouted in Manchurian. Gao Jie didn't need to know what they were saying now. He picked up Wakda's head and pulled the soldier over: "General Gao Jie, I don’t want your credit. If you help me kill Wakda, I will definitely tell the emperor to ask for your credit. Boy, what’s your name?”
The soldiers were dragged away by Gao Jie in panic, because the formation was too dangerous now. If they killed Wakda, the Tatars would definitely retaliate with all their might. If they didn't run away, they would probably be killed here.
Gao Jie was very far-sighted. He asked this soldier to ask for merit, which was to let this soldier give him a testimony, to highlight his character of not being greedy for merit, and to be a good person in the court like the brothers Yang Lian and Maha. After all, he had worked with Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng before.
Wakda's death demoralized the Qing army. Seeing this, it was too late to avenge Wakda, so Baha immediately ordered his men to break out towards the left wing. However, now his men were also being pursued by Gao Jie's troops.
Baha originally thought he was completely out of control, but he didn't know that a group of Ming troops suddenly blocked the way from the left wing route of his escape. After a burst of musket fire, Baha himself was injured.
Wanhu Mulaha grabbed the reins of Baha's horse: "Sir, there is no way forward or backward. To protect the Horqin tribe, I suggest surrendering to Mingren."
Baha was shocked: "Horqin just married the Qing Emperor last year. If I surrender here, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to Horqin."
Mulaha shook his head: "Being loyal to the Manchus is no longer the way out. If we don't choose, all of our troops will die without a burial place."
Baha let out a long sigh. At this moment, he was hit by a lead bullet that penetrated his chain armor. The lead bullet entered his body, and his movements became much slower: "Mulaha, go and surrender to Akito."
The messenger quickly ran into the temporary headquarters and shouted: "Military seat, frontline battle report, the 36th Division took over the 33rd Division and repelled the Tatar attack. The enemy and puppet guerrillas moved in front of Gao Jie's position. Our army won a great victory."
"Okay..." Wang Xiaojie shouted, and then said sharply: "Send the order, order the 34th Division on the right to abandon the defensive line and join the 36th Division. The 35th Division will guard against the enemy in the direction of North City. The 34th and 36th Divisions will immediately advance toward the South City, step by step. Press tight.”
"yes..."
.
When Chen Cao received the news of the victory of the Shenwu Army, he was preparing to meet the Li family. However, when he heard that Gao Jie, who was in front of the battle, was also sent by Wang Xiaojie, he suddenly became curious, so he arranged for them to meet together.
"I have heard of Gao Jie. Zhao Xin, did anyone in your Jinyi Guard spy on Gao Yingxiang's men at that time?"
Zhao Xin clasped his fists: "Back to the emperor, before Gao Yingxiang's death, there were many trusted generals under his command. After the defeat of Wang Ziyong and Wang Er, only Luo Rucai competed with Zhang Xianzhong and Gao Yingxiang for power. After Gao Yingxiang's death, his close confidant Li Hongji became the leader. However, when Yang He was defeated in Nanjing, he heard that the commander-in-chief Yang Qi had killed Li Hongji because of a dispute with Li Hongji at Xijiangkou. Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong fled to the northwest respectively, and their whereabouts are unknown;
As for this Gao Jie, I have heard something about it. It was reported that when Li Hongji was killed, his cronies scattered in all directions. This Gao Jie may be one of them, but I don't know the reason. "
Chen Cao nodded. Gao Jie was one of the four major vassal towns in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and he was also awarded the title of earl. However, his description of Gao Jie still stayed in the history books.
"Your Majesty, people are here."
Chen Cao was on the front line. He did not dismount. He just turned the horse's head and looked at the people kneeling in the distance. After riding away, he looked at the group of people kneeling in front of him with disdain and said sternly: " Since I established the Ming Dynasty, I have also abolished the ritual of kneeling before the emperor. However, I feel that this etiquette still needs to be talked about for you. After all, you have become a thief;
Li Yongfang, do you feel that your failure was unjust? Or do you think that in a fight with real swords and guns on the plains, your Tatar army and my imperial army have a 50-50 chance of winning? Come over and take a look at this battle. "
Li Yongfang was knocked unconscious before, but now he is in good spirits. However, he has been pulled by his son anyway, so he has to show some posture: "The general is guilty, please forgive me."
Li Yongfang raised his head and took the telescope from Xin Zhao's hand. What he saw was the rows of artillery that he had never seen before. There were a large number of them.
"Your Li family joined the bandits in the forty-sixth year of Wanli and assisted the Tatars in establishing slaves to attack various parts of Liaodong. Your Li family has made indispensable contributions. I don't want to talk nonsense with you. Now I tell you clearly that if you can seriously assist the court officials, When the army wiped out the Jiannu, I will count you, the Li family, as guilty and meritorious. If you choose to be loyal because of Abatai, I won’t blame you. After all, everyone is his own master. I just want to remind you that you, Li Yongfang, are Han Chinese. The blood of the Han people remains in your bones, and even the money-rat tail braid on your head cannot hide your true identity as a citizen of our Ming Dynasty."
Before Li Yongfang could speak, his son Li Gangtai immediately kowtowed and cried like pounding garlic: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The Li family has done something wrong to the court. Naturally, they have to forgive themselves. I will ask your Majesty not to kill me until I beg you." , I only ask that your majesty allow us to make the contribution we should make to the imperial court when you kill us, please allow your majesty."
"Are you Li Gangtai?" Chen Cao turned around and said, "You are a man with a bit of blood. Unlike your father, who was greedy for life and feared death and surrendered to the enemy in Fushun."
Li Yongfang bowed to Chen Cao: "General, I am aware of my crime. However, I still have my wife, children and children with Jiannu. If I continue to work for the court, their life and death will be at stake. General, please die. Please, your majesty." The last general’s head is hung high in public display.”
"father..."
"Father..."
Li Yongfang glared at his two sons: "Shut up..."
"Please give me your Majesty's permission."
Chen Cao pondered for a moment, and then said: "You were tougher at the last moment. You know how many bad things you, Li Yongfang, have done by assisting Jiannu. When the Ming Dynasty is liquidated in the future, no one from your Li family will be able to escape. But I think Regarding your son Li Gangtai's matter, I can treat your two sons favorably, but only if they know the current affairs. And you, Li Yongfang, are extremely smart to ask for death now. It seems that you are not greedy for life and afraid of death. You are the one who truly knows the current affairs;
Someone came and had Li Yongfang tortured, and then according to his request, his head was hung on a big flag for the slaves in the city to see. "
Li Yongfang bowed again: "I would like to thank the Emperor for his grace. Thank you for the Emperor..."
