"Let Uncle Ben think again."
Zu Dashou hesitated.
Everyone around him looked at him nervously.
"Uncle, if you don't stop, you will suffer chaos." Wu Sangui advised.
Zu Dashou glanced at the surrounding Guan Ning army and said hesitantly: "Uncle Ben is gone. What will happen to these soldiers who have followed me for many years? How can I abandon them and ignore them."
He was surrounded by infantry, with only a few cavalry. He was unwilling to give up the infantry of Guan Ning's army. Without these infantry, the strength of Guan Ning's army would plummet, and its status in the Qing Dynasty would also be affected.
"Uncle, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about not having firewood. As long as your uncle is still here, everything will be possible in the future. If something happens to you, uncle, then Guan Ningjun will really have no future." Wu Sangui said sadly. Persuading Zu Dashou to leave.
Zu Dashou looked around and said: "Now Guan Ning's army is no longer in the Ming Dynasty. The reason why I have been unwilling to let Guan Ning's army fight to the death is because he knows that the Qing Dynasty will not add any more soldiers to Guan Ning's army." , so every time one person is killed in the Guan Ning Army, there will be one less person. Now if I leave like this, there really won’t be many people left in the Guan Ning Army.”
"Report!"
A horseman galloped from a distance and arrived in front of Zu Dashou. He clasped his fists on the horse and saluted and said, "I'd like to inform you uncle that we've found a cavalry group of tiger thieves behind us."
"Ah! I caught up so quickly." Zu Dashou was surprised.
Wu Sangui on the side said: "The hundred or so cavalrymen of the Eight Banners and the hundreds of Mongolians can't stop the tiger thieves' pursuit. Uncle, I don't have time."
Zu Dashou was still hesitating.
He was able to live so comfortably in the Qing Dynasty only because he had so many soldiers.
Although he did not bring all Guan Ning's troops from Liaodong, he did bring 70 to 80 percent of them, of which only 10 or 20 percent were Guan Ning's cavalry, and the rest were infantry.
Once the infantry is abandoned and only the cavalry is left, Guan Ning's army will not have many infantry left, and only those left in Liaodong will be left. Even if they return to the Qing Dynasty, it is impossible for the Qing Dynasty to help Guan Ning's army restore its military strength. Maybe they will add insult to injury and think of ways to weaken Guan Ning's army.
"Report, the tiger thief's pursuit is less than five miles away." Another cavalryman brought news of the pursuit.
"Uncle!" Wu Sangui said eagerly.
I was already hesitating in my heart whether to leave Zu Dashou and escape alone.
Zu Dashou looked back at the direction behind him.
It seemed that he could vaguely hear the sound of some horse hooves. Although he was not sure whether it was the sound of the horse hooves of the surrounding cavalry or the pursuer, his heart was already occupied by a haze.
"Bring dry food and drinking water and leave now." Zu Dasheng ordered.
There was no mention of the infantry accompanying them, but everyone around them knew that those infantry had been abandoned.
Zu Dashou broke away from the large group of people with his own soldiers and the remaining Guan Ning cavalry. There were more than a thousand people, and each of them had a horse.
In addition, some Qianhu and deputy Qianhu of CNOOC in Guan Ning's army. Although these people did not receive the order, they found out that Zu Dashou and his men had abandoned the army and fled. They immediately understood what was going on and immediately took their relatives with them. The soldiers followed Zu Dashou and other Guan Ning cavalry who left.
The remaining infantry became the targets of abandonment.
After discovering that all their generals had escaped, the infantrymen of Guan Ning's army dispersed in a hurry, no longer caring about anything else, and began to run for their lives individually.
The changes that happened to Guan Ningjun naturally could not escape the eyes of the Eight Banners Army.
Soon Jierhalang and others received the news that Zu Dashou abandoned the army and fled.
Jierhalang's face was blue with anger when he first heard the news.
He never expected that Zu Dashou would not even care about Guan Ningjun's life or death in order to survive for himself.
Dorgon and others, who also learned about Zu Dashou's escape, rode up to Jierharang.
"Brother Ninth, I heard that this piece of shit Zu Dashou escaped?" Duduo asked Xiang Jierharang as soon as he arrived.
Jierhalang said with a gloomy face: "There is no hope for Guan Ning's army. It's a pity for those soldiers who were left behind by Zu Dashou. If they are sent to intercept the tiger thieves' pursuit, they can also delay the tiger thieves' pursuit." some time."
"Let's find all the soldiers of Guan Ning Army now and let them deal with the tiger bandit's pursuers." Duduo said.
Jierhalang glanced at Duduo and said, "It's too late. There is no time to gather these soldiers of Guan Ning Army."
"What a pity." Duduo cursed, "When I get back, I will definitely deal with this piece of shit Zu Dashou."
He has been the Beizi of Dajin since he was a child. Beile, the leader of the banner, not to mention the Han people, even the Manchus have to speak in a low voice in front of him. This makes him bow down to people like Zu Dashou who don't know how to treat them. The Han generals have long been itching with hatred.
At this time, Dorgon said: "Zu Dashou didn't even want Guan Ning's army, and only escaped with his cavalry, which shows that the situation is very serious. Brother Ninth, we have to be careful."
"What do you think?" Jierhalang asked Dorgon.
Different from the feeling Duoduo gave him, after working with Dorgon for such a long time, he found that Dorgon could help him with a lot of things in the army. He had the talent to be the commander of an army, and he might be in the Qing Dynasty in the future. Mainstay.
After Dorgon thought for a while, he said: "The servants below sent news that the tiger thieves' cavalry was about to catch up. The people we sent failed to stop the tiger thieves' pursuit. Zu Dashou must be afraid of being attacked by the tiger thieves. The thief's cavalry caught up with him, and then he escaped with only the cavalry."
"Zu Dashou, this bitch, doesn't dare to fight the tiger bandits. We Eight Banners soldiers are not afraid. We should have chopped off Zu Dashou's head and collected all Guan Ning's troops." Duduo said at the side.
Dorgon said to Duduo: "The tiger thieves are not the Ming army and are not so easy to deal with, otherwise we would not have retreated."
"I think you are scared out of your wits." Duduo curled his lips.
Dorgon ignored him and turned to Dozier Harang and said: "Brother Ninth, the infantry will definitely not be able to run fast. If our cavalry and infantry stay, no one will be able to leave. Although Zu Dashou abandoned the army and fled to call for people, Look down on him, but he saved the most elite cavalry of Guan Ning Army."
"Old Fourteen, do you mean we should do the same?" Jierhalang raised his eyebrows and said immediately, "No, we can't live like our ancestors."
If he leaves all the Eight Banners soldiers behind, even if Huang Taiji wants to protect him, he will not be able to protect him. The princes and beile of the Qing Dynasty will definitely not let him off lightly.
"Of course we can't live like our ancestors," Dorgon said, "but we can't do nothing. We still have to leave some people behind to intercept the tiger thieves' pursuit, so that more soldiers can take the opportunity to escape."
Jierhalang looked thoughtful, thought for a while, and said: "We don't have many cavalry left. If we leave too few, it won't be useful. If we leave too many, we won't be able to explain them when we go back."
