Volume Three: The First Appearance of the Ming Dynasty. The army marched eastward and besieged the capital. Chapter 423: Northern and Southern Ming Dynasties (3)
In this battle, nearly 2,000 of the thousands of Jurchen troops at the north gate of Qinghe Fort died tragically on the spot, and the rest were all taken prisoner. Only a few escaped. The entire battlefield was a bright red, with broken weapons everywhere, dense arrow feathers, layers of There were piles of Jurchen corpses and dead horse corpses. .
Yang Xiu quickly found Luo Guiping and asked, "General Luo, please tell me about the Jurchen branch situation."
Luo Guiping knew that the matter was urgent. There were nearly 10,000 Jurchen troops in other directions of Qinghe Fort.
"There are only more than 3,000 people at the south gate, but there can be more than 5,000 people at the east gate."
"Okay!" Yang Xiu high-fived and said to Liu Wei and others: "Inform the entire army to assemble."
"The whole army assembles."
"The whole army assembles."
Every low-level officer shouted Yang Xiu¡¯s orders at the top of his lungs. In addition to the hundreds of people guarding the prisoners, the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield quickly gathered in front of Yang Xiu. Among them, there were many soldiers from Tieling Guard and Gaizhou Guard. Their eyes were full of enthusiasm and their faces were full of excitement. In the past, they were chased and beaten by the Jurchens, but now they suddenly turned around and were chased and beaten by the Jurchens. This feeling of turning over was really exciting.
Looking at the high-spirited soldiers, Yang Xiu began to deploy the next plan.
"Xiong Wenlin, lead your troops into the city and attack the enemy from the south gate!"
"The last general takes command!"
"Yuan Biao! Lead our troops to bypass the outside of the city and attack the south gate!"
"Yuan Biao takes the order!"
"Zhou Lei and Cai Ha'er will lead their own troops as the vanguard to attack the east gate, and the rest will follow our general to suppress the rear!"
At the east gate of Qinghe Fort, this time the commander-in-chief of the Jurchen Alliance, Ulanala and Gu Le, the chiefs of the Jianzhou tribe, vaguely heard the shouts of killing from the north gate, but because they were too far away, they didn't pay much attention.
When he knew that reinforcements from officers and soldiers were coming, his first reaction was that it was impossible, but when he looked at the dozens of deserters, it was true. He suddenly became anxious and ordered his men to blow the horns of retreat.
¡°Woo~wu~wu~¡±
Hearing the sound of horns, the Jurchens who were attacking the city retreated. Several small leaders who led the team quickly asked Gu Le: "Sir, why are you retreating?"
Gu Le said helplessly: "The reinforcements from the officers and soldiers are coming."
Everyone immediately looked at each other in shock. No one expected that the officers and soldiers would come for reinforcements. Several small bosses suddenly wanted to retreat: "Sir, retreat."
Gu Le was hesitant. The 20,000-strong army had been unable to attack the border town of Qinghe Fort, and the casualties were so severe. If the officers and soldiers retreated as soon as the reinforcements arrived, it is conceivable that his prestige would plummet within the clan, and even among the entire Jurchen tribes. .
Just when Gu Le was hesitating, Cai Haer and Zhou Lei had already arrived. Seeing that it was too late to retreat, Gu Le simply ordered the entire army to meet the enemy.
"kill!"
Cai Ha'er and Zhou Lei led the vanguard into the Jurchen formation, instantly disrupting the Jurchen forward formation. Cai Ha'er took the lead to open the way, picking or stabbing with the spear in his hand. Several Jurchens who were shot suddenly looked like firewood. He fell straight under the horse and was trampled to pieces by the Maoerzhuang cavalry that came up in a blink of an eye.
"Kill!" After the Jurchen panicked briefly, he became ferocious and slashed at Caihaer's forward with a machete. However, although the Jurchens were brave, they encountered the even more brave Maoerzhuang cavalry, and the Jurchens fell off their horses one after another.
Gu Le watched in shock from behind. They always looked down on the officers and soldiers. Unexpectedly, when the two armies met, the man who was killed by the officers and soldiers fell on his back. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Hold on, hold on."
Cai Ha'er had already reached the center of the Jurchen army. He saw a Jurchen noble-looking man shouting at the rear. He knew it must be the leader of the Jurchens. With a wave of his horse's head, he rushed out of the Jurchen encirclement from the flank. , rushed in the direction of Gu Le.
Seeing that there was only one officer and soldier coming this way, a soldier beside Gu Le sneered, pulled out a precious long arrow, and shot at Cai Haer.
"Whoops!" The long arrow made a shrill sound in the air, and a contemptuous smile appeared on Cai Ha'er's face. He clicked the silver gun in his hand and knocked away the long arrow flying towards him, instantly closing the distance.
Seeing the bravery of this officer and general, Gu Le was horrified and shouted: "Shoot him to death, shoot him to death!"
But it was too late, Cai Haer had already rushed forward, and his spear formed a strange fox line, streaking across the necks of several Jurchen soldiers. The Jurchens swayed on their horses, and shot a bullet from their necks Wisps of blood, porphyrin, porphyrin, fell to the horse's feet and died.
Gu Le was shocked. Taking advantage of Cai Haer's stay, he turned his horse and left. How could Cai Haer let him go? Drawing out the long bow, bending down to pick up an arrow, he shotAfter a while, the long arrow just flashed and reached Gu Le's back.
Gu Le only felt a chill behind him, but before he could understand what was going on, there was a sudden pain on his back, as if he had been hit hard by a huge force. He let out a scream, fell off the horse, and collapsed. It fell to the ground with a thud, motionless, and only a few feathers of an arrow on its back were trembling slightly.
"The patriarch is dead~The patriarch is dead~" Seeing Gu Le's death, the entire Jurchen army instantly became confused. At this time, Yang Xiu's army also arrived, encircling Cai Haer and completely annihilating the Jurchen tribe.
Yang Xiu rescued Qinghe Fort, and his reputation spread throughout Liaodong. Xiong Wenlin and Zhou Lei followed Yang Xiu all the way down. They both admired Yang Xiu very much and were determined to follow Yang Xiu. Luo Guiping and Song Wen also felt guilty because of their previous misunderstanding about Yang Xiu. In addition, they did get a lot of benefits from following Yang Xiu, so they also agreed with each other.
In this way, under the leadership of the four of them and Liu Wei, the entire Liaodong Dusi Guards Office turned to Yang Xiu, but Li Rusong was completely isolated, and the Liaodong Dusi Yamen was in name only.
After unifying Liaodong, Yang Xiu reorganized his army and began to launch a full-scale counterattack against the Jurchens while the residual heat from the two victorious battles had not dissipated. The Jurchens knew they were outmatched, and eventually all three major tribes came to Yang Xiu's side. Yang Xiu's overall strength increased instantly.
In two years, Yang Xiu's vitality began to gradually recover. Even though the Ming Dynasty suffered from successive disasters and the people did not have enough to eat, Datong, Guanwai, and Shandong provinces had good harvests every year, which made people in other places break their heads. It¡¯s crowded here. And with people, Yang Xiu's development is not unpleasant, and the entire northern country is full of vitality.
Under the repeated suggestions of Yuan Biao Yanqing and others, Yang Xiu founded the Northern Ming Dynasty, which was far away from Wanli of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Standing on the top of the Forbidden City, Yanqing asked Yang Xiu: "General, why didn't you take advantage of Nanming's weakness and capture it in one go?"
Yang Xiu recalled the humiliating history of the Chinese nation when the Qing Dynasty destroyed the Ming Dynasty a hundred years later, and the Qing Dynasty fell hundreds of years later. He shook his head and said: "People cannot live in peace all the time, that will make people fall."
"Although I can promise to make the country stronger and stronger, what about my descendants? They may not necessarily think so. Without strong enemies, they will only close the country and not know how to make progress. This is good now, Ming in the south and Ming in the north. Comparing each other and making each other stronger, even if one side is swallowed up in the end, it will still be our Chinese nation, not the Eight-Nation Alliance."
"The Eight-Nation Alliance?" Although Yan Qing is smart, he still doesn't understand what the Eight-Nation Alliance is.
Yang Xiu smiled without explaining, looking at the fiery red festive scene in the Forbidden City with a happy smile on his face.
Because tomorrow is his wedding day, and his bride is not one, but two.
