Meng Qiaofang returned to her camp worriedly and summoned the generals to discuss matters.
"Today we must attack the Guanyin Temple no matter what, even if we all die in battle. Remember, whether we can withdraw outside the pass depends on this battle."
Different from ordinary traitors.
Meng Qiaofang surrendered to the Manchus without any psychological burden.
He was originally a deputy general of the Ming army. Later, he was idle at home because of his conviction, and he was full of resentment towards the Ming Dynasty.
During the Jiji Incident, the Hou Jin army captured Yongping Mansion, and Meng Qiaofang and several others obediently surrendered to the Hou Jin Dynasty.
If according to the original history, after Hou Jin left, he should have served under Amin, and eventually became the Hou camp's military exploits under Qingshui Yueming Pass.
But there was a deviation in history. Meng Qiaofang followed Huang Taiji back to Liaodong and escaped.
On the contrary, several other people either died under Qingshui Yueming Pass or were killed by Amin when he massacred the city.
This is also one of Amin's responsibilities.
After Meng Qiaofang delivered the military order, she closed her eyes and rested her mind. She didn't notice that the generals below all had ugly expressions.
These people were different from him.
These generals all surrendered after the Qing army entered the Central Plains. One can imagine how loyal they are.
Moreover, they surrendered to the Manchus because they were depressed in the Ming Dynasty and hoped to change their environment to get promoted and make a fortune.
Now, let alone getting promoted and making a fortune, your life may be at risk. Even if you save your life, you still have to leave the prosperous Central Plains and go to Liaodong to suffer...
People's minds often change firmly because of a small thing.
Several generals looked at each other and silently gathered around.
Meng Qiaofang felt a little short of breath and opened her eyes. What can be seen is the bright dagger stabbing into his chest.
Three big men held him down tightly, making him unable to move. The knife pierced in one after another, taking away all the energy in his body.
Meng Qiaofang roared several times, and blood spurted out from her nostrils and mouth.
This traitor ended his sentence in an unexpected way.
The three generals killed him and took action immediately.
"Xianwu, you go east immediately, look for the Chinese army, and report our intentions. Qingzhi and I will lead the army to retreat into Daixian City, and we can always resist for a while."
The leading general quickly divided the work.
When the battlefield was moved to the Guanyin Temple, the county seat of Dai County became unimportant and became completely empty.
Under the command of these three people, their soldiers and horses suddenly took action and withdrew into the city as quickly as possible. Close the city gates, climb the city to defend, and be ready.
"Baylor, the right wing ran away."
When the news came, Nikan was stunned.
"What the hell is Meng Qiaofang doing?"
He was preparing nervously to send troops together with Meng Qiaofang later to launch a desperate assault on Guanyin Temple.
As a result, Meng Qiaofang ran away.
Nikan is also a smart person and reacted quickly.
"Humph, a dog is a dog, and you can't raise a dog you don't know well."
Nikan sensed the crisis.
"Go and send a message to Prince Yu immediately."
With the rebellion of "Meng Qiaofang", it was impossible to break through the Guanyin Temple.
If Duduo's army cannot arrive before the Ninth Division, they will have no way out.
Yu Lichun met people who came to surrender west of Fanzhi.
"The guilty general and others have killed Meng Qiaofang and retreated to Dai County, relying on each other with the heavenly army to ensure that Yanmen is not lost. Please, General, please grant us a way to survive for the sake of our repentance."
Looking at the general kneeling in front of him, Yu Lichun laughed and raised his hand to help him up.
"You and others can understand the general trend and abandon evil and do good, which will be a great achievement. After this battle, I will personally ask for credit for you."
Although these people's positions are wavering, in the chaos of the late Ming Dynasty, they often cannot ask for too much.
On the contrary, this time because of their actions, the situation suddenly became favorable, which is worthy of commendation.
The surrendered general was overjoyed and prostrated again.
"The guilty generals Zhang Yong, Zhao Liangdong, and Wang Jinbao thank the general for his kindness."
Zuo Mengeng is just not here, otherwise he would have to sigh.
Good guy, three of the four generals in Hexi gathered together at once.
Yu Lichun didn't know what the Wang Jinbao in front of him meant. He only knew that the strategic goal of blocking Duduo and gathering together to annihilate it seemed to be achieved.
"Old Xu, you lead the 36th Regiment to advance along the north bank of the Hutuo River, establish contact with Guo Dongwei, and block the Guanyin Temple."
Deputy division commander Xu Tiancheng nodded and accepted the order.
"Lao Xin, you lead the 37th Regiment to march along the south bank of the Hutuo River. Bypass the county seat of Dai County and don't let the Qing army escape one by one."
Xin Junle had no objection to this arrangement.
Yu Lichun personally led the 38th Regiment, Heavy Artillery Regiment, Engineering Regiment and other troops to the end.
The 50,000-strong army of the Ninth Division began to press towards Dai County.
At this time, Duduo's army had just reached the intersection of two mountains north of Yizhou.
They are in big trouble.
The stone bridge on the Hutuo River was blown up, causing the road to be different.
The Qing army wanted to walk through the farmland on both sides of the river, but within a few steps a landmine hit them, killing the Qing army and injuring many.
It turns out that the Third Special Battalion received the task of delaying Duduo, but its previous marching speed was the same as that of Nikan and Meng Qiaofang's troops.
It was impossible for the special forces to fight against the large group of troops, so they had no choice but to hide.
After Nikan and Meng Qiaofang passed by, Yuan Chongcheng gave an order, and the special forces made careful arrangements at this narrow pass.
Bridges were blown up and mines were laid in the plains, all of which were obstacles to the Qing army's advance.
Duduo was riding on his horse, watching the army sluggishly moving forward, his nerves racing.
"I don't believe it when I go there. How many landmines can there be?"
Time is life, and Duduo's vicious side broke out.
He planned to use the lives of his soldiers to pave a way for the army.
But it is obvious that among the Qing army, people are divided into three, six or nine levels. The Manchus and Mongolians would not commit suicide in such a situation, so they began to force the Han people to go ahead.
Boom...boom...boom...
On the open plains, landmines exploded from time to time, taking away lives one after another.
If he was killed on the spot, it would be nothing. But the most uncomfortable ones are those injured by the bombing.
Many of the wounded had their legs blown off and fell to the ground wailing, which quickly spread to the entire army.
An Eight Banners soldier came up and stabbed the wounded to death, as if he were trampling an ant to death. It was as common as anything.
But this kind of cold and heartless approach made the Han people intolerable.
There was a sudden noise in the front line, and thousands of Han troops suddenly turned around and began to kill the Manchus and Mongols behind them.
If you use us as cannon fodder, we will support you.
"Kill them all! Kill them all!"
Duduo ordered while retreating without leaving a trace. It wasn't until he was surrounded by Eight Banners guards that he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
There were many Han generals around just now. If these people also rise up...
Duduo didn't realize at all that his heart...
I'm scared!
