About five miles north of Huolucheng, there is a small hill, and less than a mile south, Zhang Chengzheng, a guerrilla in Xuanzhen, and Dorgon, Prince Heshuorui of the Qing Dynasty and leader of the Zhengbai Banner, looked at each other fifty steps apart, and In conversation.
Zhang Chengce was on the horse, assessing the wind force in his mind, squinting his eyes, looking far away from the sunset, confirming Dorgon's position and distance, and replied sternly: "Your general is Zhang Cheng of Xuanzang, So that the slaves and chiefs will remember it, and they will not know who will perish in the future."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Cheng leaned back suddenly, raised his left arm, and immediately clasped the bowstring with his right thumb, clamped the arrow feathers in the sockets of his thumb and index finger, and naturally clasped his index and middle fingers on his thumb. Then the right arm quickly and vigorously draws the Kaiyuan Bow to its full capacity.
"Whoosh!"
A heavy arrow flew off the string like a shooting star, breaking through the biting cold wind, and shot towards Dorgon's chest.
In the flash of light and stone, the Qing soldiers behind Dorgon saw Zhang Cheng sneaking up on their flag master. They cursed one after another, and there were even sounds of panic.
"Peng!"
After all, Dorgon was a veteran of more than ten years. When he was fifteen, he accompanied Huang Taiji to fight in Mongolia. He saw Zhang Cheng acting strangely, and then caught a glimpse of a cold star. He immediately knew why, and he avoided it completely without haste. He hurriedly tilted his body slightly to the right with the cold wind blowing.
In addition, the arrow shot by Zhang Cheng was quite rapid, and was affected by the cold wind and the dazzling sunset. It did not hit the vital part of Dorgon's body, but only hit his left shoulder.
The arrow penetrated Dorgon's gilt armor and took away a piece of flesh on his left shoulder. Only fragments of the gilt armor flew away, and blood and flesh splattered.
When Zhang Cheng shot the arrow, he didn't rush to check the result. The arrow flew out. He hurriedly urged his horse to turn and gallop back. The distance between the two sides was only fifty steps. If the other side wanted to retaliate against Zhang Cheng, it would only take ten riders. He ran out and was hit by a burst of riding fire. He was seriously injured even if he didn't die.
As expected by Zhang Cheng, his arrow hit Dorgon's left shoulder, and dozens of horsemen rushed forward. Although most of them were surrounding Dorgon, there were still more than ten horses rushing towards him.
It's a pity that Zhang Cheng got a head start and rushed back to the main formation. The distance between the two sides was more than a hundred steps, and it was already difficult to hit with a bow and arrow. Even if the captives dared to charge, Zhang Cheng still had more than a thousand fine cavalry. , how can you be afraid.
In just a moment, the Qing army on the opposite side stopped making noise, and the Baya soldiers dispersed one after another. Dorgon was still riding on his horse, but his left shoulder had been wrapped in layers of hundreds of steps, and there was faint blood oozing out.
A knight in white armor next to Dorgon suddenly galloped towards Zhang Cheng. Chen Zhong also saw it and said, "Fuck him."
When he was about to ride his horse to meet him, Zhang Cheng stopped him and said, "Don't be impulsive. Let's see first what the slave thief wants to do."
When the knight of the Qing army galloped to a distance of more than twenty steps from Zhang Cheng, he reined in his horse and said loudly: "Prince He Shuorui of the Qing Dynasty, the owner of the Zhengbai Banner, and the general who was ordered to lead the Ming Dynasty to declare the town and guerrilla Zhang Cheng Unparalleled in loyalty and bravery, best in archery among the three armies,
This general is specially ordered to come and return this arrow. When we meet again one day, we will definitely have a happy battle with General Zhang on the battlefield. "
When Zhang Cheng heard this, he was stunned at first. He was only appointed as a guerrilla general after joining the guard. His time is running out today. How come Dorgon knew such details.
There is also the unparalleled loyalty and bravery of the three armies, which is mentioned in the imperial edict and the content of the conversation between Emperor Chongzhen and Yang Sichang. How did this slave chief know about it?
Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but take a breath. The intelligence work of the Qing army was really good. They had many insiders in the Ming Dynasty.
Then Zhang Cheng said again, this Dorgon is worthy of his name in the history books, his magnanimity is indeed extraordinary, he is indeed a generation of talents, and he is the first among the Tartars after Huang Taiji.
It's a pity that my current strength is not enough to kill him here. What a pity.
Zhang Cheng said in a deep voice to Chen Zhong beside him: "Zhongzi, go get the arrow, and then take the gold-coated sore medicine and give it to the slave chief and the false king Dorgon. Since one arrow is not enough to kill him, he will be well and will be raised until later. I will pick it up again on the battlefield in the future."
Chen Zhong received the order and galloped forward. When he was less than ten steps away from the Qing general, he stopped. He was seen holding the rein in his left hand, taking out a small medicine bag from his arms in his right hand, and said loudly:
"My general ordered me to deliver this sore medicine to the slave chief and the puppet king Dorgon. My general said that since he cannot kill the puppet king with one arrow today, he will ask the good generals to raise him. One day, he will personally kill the puppet king's head on the battlefield. class."
After saying that, he threw the medicine bag over. The Qing knight turned his hand to catch the medicine bag. His face was full of anger, but he did not dare to disobey Dorgon's order. He only saw an arrow in his right hand, riding on his horse. He bared his teeth and shot towards Chen Zhong with all his strength.
Chen Zhong saw that the arrow was thrown from the hands of the Qing knights, but the speed was not very fast. He turned slightly sideways, checked the time, took advantage of the situation with his right hand, and caught the arrow in his hand. He saw that the tip of the arrow was still full of It was blood, not yet dry.
At this moment, the Qing cavalry on the opposite side, surrounded by Dorgon, slowly ran up and trotted to join the more than a thousand Qing troops south of Zhang Cheng. The Qing knights who had just returned the arrows hurriedly hurriedly The horse gave chase.
Another puff of smoke and dust rose up from the north, but the cavalry of Hu Dawei's cavalry galloped up to the hill where Dorgon was just now. They rode on the hill to watch Dorgon leave.
Dorgon's tribe rolled southward, and puffs of smoke and dust rose up in the wild fields. The more than a thousand Qing cavalry to the south of Zhang Cheng were waiting in tight formation. It was not until Dorgon's tribe had rushed more than 500 steps away that they took precautions and slowed down. Xu chased after him.
Finally, there were the more than a thousand Qing cavalry on the official road. After the cavalry galloped more than 400 steps, they jumped down from the official road and slowly followed Dorgon.
…………
Dorgon is indeed a famous general of the Qing Dynasty. His strategy and demeanor are both extraordinary.
He began to notice Lu Xiangsheng, a rare general in the Ming Dynasty who dared to fight, since he was at the gate of Beijing, especially after Hauge was defeated and fled in Gaoyang City.
Dorgon made a strategy at that time and told all the ministries that they must not waste their military power with Lu Xiangsheng's Ming army. If they encountered it, they would try their best to avoid it. When the army gathered, they would strive to annihilate Lu Xiangsheng's tribe in one battle.
His purpose is very simple and direct, that is, the small group will run away when they encounter Lu Xiangsheng, and the large group will stick to Lu Xiangsheng when they encounter it, and then gather the large army to annihilate in one battle this one of the few troops in the Ming Dynasty who dared to fight.
Yesterday, he resolutely implemented his decision, and also had a small idea under Huolu City, that is, to show his goodwill to Lu Xiangsheng in person, in order to cause some misunderstandings to the Ming Dynasty court.
Today, more than a thousand Qing soldiers were left to escort the captive people and military supplies and withdraw first. He personally led the army to the rear to delay for some time, but he met Zhang Cheng's troops by chance. He wanted to test the courage of this rookie in the Ming Dynasty's military circles.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Cheng was so dishonest that he actually wanted to kill him with a sneak attack while they were talking to each other. However, Dorgon, a hero of the generation, knew that this was not the time to care about this matter.
He magnanimously sent his confidants to take advantage of the opportunity of returning the arrows to fight Zhang Cheng, which not only showed his magnanimity but also took the opportunity to humiliate Zhang Cheng. What he didn't expect was that Zhang Cheng actually didn't care.
