Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Running, escaping, the Tatars retreated from the city in a hurry, trying to break through the sea of ??fire and retreat to the rear, but it was not that easy.  The oil burned, black smoke billowed, and a large amount of harmful gases gathered, all accumulated in Chenggen.  When they reached the bottom, there was a sea of ??fire blocking their way, but they were suffocated again. The weak ones fell to the ground one after another, and soon died of poisoning and suffocation.  The remaining Tatars could only fight with all their strength. They jumped through the sea of ????fire one after another. Some people were covered with oil and turned into flaming men. They fell to the ground before running a few dozen steps. The fire was still burning mercilessly.  They turned into lumps of charcoal.  They were somewhat lucky. They rushed out of the fire, but their bodies were covered with burns, their beards, and the pigtails on their heads were all gone. These Tartars didn't even dare to look back and ran away.  Although Li Shutai was ruthless, he had no choice but to withdraw in disgrace.  In the fire, more than 3,500 Tatars were burned to death and burned. The stench of burnt corpses was all around the city wall. Many soldiers held on to the crenels and vomited.  But it was all worth it. The fire kept burning for about an hour, and it didn't stop until all the oil was used up.  The burning wall of fire kept the Tatars out, and the soldiers finally won precious breathing time.  Treat the wounded, restock the logs and rocks, and seize the time to fill your stomach.  Everyone was extremely exhausted. Many soldiers had no time to eat the big cakes in their hands, so they leaned against the crenel and fell asleep.  "Hahaha, what a bunch of people. At least the Tatars can calm down today. Let's all get some news and recharge our batteries so that we can fight again!" Li Xu said with a smile.  Li Dingguo shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Commander-in-Chief, have you heard the prince say that there are four kinds of people in the army, one is smart and lazy, who wants to be the commander-in-chief, and the other is smart and diligent, who wants to be the chief of staff!" Li Xu  He frowned slightly, then relaxed, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, you can't be a master without being deaf or crazy. The commander-in-chief of the three armies must be wise enough, but not too excessive, so that everyone has a way to survive. Is there only the chief of staff? He has to deal with big and small things  Small things. Of course, you have to be smart and diligent. Brother Dingguo is just right! I just don¡¯t know what the latter two types of people are. " "Of course, you are stupid and lazy, and you are stupid and diligent!  "Li Dingguo said easily: "A stupid and lazy person who is obedient and will not cause trouble is the best candidate to be a leader? Is this the fourth type? Commander, let's take a guess, how to deal with it?"  Li Xu thought for a while, then suddenly raised his right hand and scratched his neck.  The two people burst into laughter.  ¡­ ¡°There are so many people in this world, and the worst thing is that they are stupid and tormenting!¡± Wu Kaijie brought a secret letter and sent it to Gu Zhenhua.  "Your Majesty. This is Fan Keqin's handwritten letter to Huang Degong. Huang Degong has sent it to you!" Gu Zhenhua raised his eyebrows and reached out to take the letter. He did not open it in a hurry, but asked: "Have read this letter?"  "No, Huang Houye said that he is your subordinate and he will obey your orders. As for the others, they are not qualified to dictate!" "Hahaha, this Huang Degong is not an honest person. He is clearly a consumer of Fan Keqin.  Ah, I don¡¯t believe he can¡¯t guess what¡¯s written in it!¡± Wu Kaijie also said with a smile: ¡°The prince is right. In fact, I have long wanted to say that we have great power and just kill a few ministers, even if we are deposed.  Emperor, what can I do? You are always too kind-hearted. It is an insult to our wisdom to let these little people yell randomly!" "Stop talking about it. It's easy to kill people, but it's difficult to change people's minds. Some people keep it.  Making them look embarrassed is more effective than killing them!" Gu Zhenhua read the letter, and as expected, Fan Keqin tried his best to win over Huang Degong, wanting him to help deal with Gu Zhenhua, and even promised that he would take over after the matter was accomplished.  install**!  "Did they only find Huang Degong, and there is no news about others?" "Yes, in addition to Huang Degong, there are also Liu Kecheng, Li Wanqing, Ma Wannian and others. In short, except for An's direct descendants, everyone else has contacts." "  What did they say?" Wu Kaijie knew that Gu Zhenhua was referring to his captured general, and said hurriedly: "My lord, if people go to higher places, water will flow to lower places. If you follow you, you will gain glory and wealth, win consecutive battles, and your status will increase day by day.  If you help the literati, you will become their slaves sooner or later. It¡¯s not like you have suffered this kind of loss before. Everyone knows how to deal with it!¡±  Write a letter to Mr. Li and tell him to keep an eye on Fan Keqin and others." After a pause, Gu Zhenhua added: "Just keep an eye on them, don't take action in a hurry, they have been ruined.?It may not be a bad thing for us!  " "I understand, I understand!"  " "Prince Regent, please take a look!  "Fan Wencheng dragged a black rag to Dorgon. "What is it?  Dorgon muttered, took the cloth in his hand, looked at it carefully, and smelled it against his nose. "This, is this oil?"  " "That's right, the regent is really as bright as lightning!  Fan Wencheng said with admiration: "This thing is lighter than water, so it can burn on the river. The Ming army in the city secretly put the oil into the moat. When the warriors rushed to the top of the city, they lit it and made a big fire."  , burned countless warriors to death!  " "Vicious Ming Gou!  " Dorgon suddenly threw the rag on the ground, angrily, and roared loudly: "Send my order and tell all the generals to mobilize their troops immediately. I will attack the city overnight. I will not take Handan until I take it.  give up!  " Fan Wencheng had a bitter look on his face. The fire just now had already depleted the army of its fighting spirit. If we continue to fight to the death at this time, I'm afraid it will arouse dissatisfaction. "Old minister, I thought that I was very tired after marching and fighting for days, so I'd better rest.  One night, let's fight again tomorrow.  "    "rest?  Dorgon smiled contemptuously: "Mr. Fan, are those Mongolians retreating and wanting to cause trouble?"  " "The regent's eyes are as bright as lightning, and the old minister dare not hide it.  Several Taijis from the Ordos tribe complained that they entered the customs to rob wealth, not to be used as cannon fodder.  Letting good warriors on horseback attack the city and capture the territory is really overkill!  " Dorgon's face suddenly darkened: "Those who don't know their own abilities dare to control me. Tell them to all rush to the front tomorrow, otherwise they will be severely punished according to law!  " After finishing speaking, Dorgon looked at Fan Wencheng, who was still bowing and did not retreat. He suddenly snorted coldly and said, "Master Fan, don't you listen to my order anymore?  " "I don't dare, I will go now!"  "Fan Wencheng stood up in a hurry and was about to deliver the order. Suddenly someone hurried in from outside, and it was Ning Wanwo who came. "To the regent, something bad has happened. Daming, Daming Mansion has been lost!  " In a word, it was like a thunder explosion. Dorgon was hit so hard that his skin was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. His skin was yellow and his flesh was crispy. His mind was empty all of a sudden. The two brave generals and tens of thousands of elite soldiers could withstand at least ten days. Just enough.  He calmly broke through Handan, but counting the days, he was captured in less than two days. This, this is beyond imagination! "Tuhai, where is Tuhai!"  Dorgon shouted angrily: "Catch this slave and cut him to pieces with a thousand knives!"  "Ning Wan, my face was full of bitterness, and I fell to the ground, crying bitterly. "Prince Regent, Tuhai and Tong Tulai have both died in the battle. I heard from the soldiers who escaped back that An's master of black magic can bring magic from the sky.  When the attack was launched, everyone was frightened and did not dare to resist the Ming army!  " "Humph, they are just a bunch of losers, and they still have the nerve to make excuses!  " Dorgon said this, but he also calmed down a lot. An's tricks are indeed endless, and every battle can surprise him. He thought he had caught up, but he was quietly thrown away again  Distance! As a generational hero, Dorgon is very clear-headed. This may be his last chance. If he misses it, he may never catch up with An**. Then he can only sit back and wait for death.  Gun suddenly asked: "Mr. Fan, how far is Gu Zhenhua from Handan?  " "Reporting to the regent, Daming Mansion is less than 200 miles away from Handan. According to the marching speed, I am afraid we can reach Handan in about four days!  " "Four days, four days!  " Dorgon walked back and forth on the ground several times. There were two choices before him. One was to capture Handan within four days, seize the war opportunity, wait for work, and fight Gu Zhenhua decisively! The other was to take the initiative to attack  , come to the encirclement for reinforcements. Deal with Gu Zhenhua first. The first method is relatively safe, but Dorgon is not sure that he will break Handan in four days. Dorgon bites.  Gritting his teeth! "Immediately send an order to mobilize 80,000 bannermen, 150,000 Mongolian elite cavalry, and all artillery teams. Immediately follow me south to fight to the death with Gu Zhenhua. The rest of the troops will be temporarily handed over to Shuo Sai to continue the siege of Handan!"  "Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan, two college students, looked at each other and were all shocked. The decisive battle is coming so soon? "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, a son of a rich man cannot sit down in court. I think it is better not to" Fan Wencheng hasn't finished speaking yet.  , Dorgon waved his hand and sneered: "I have been leading troops in wars since I was a teenager. I have been living on horseback. I have been the regent for several years."??I don't have the ability to fight on the battlefield?  "Fan Wencheng naturally did not dare to say anything, so he could only lower his head. Dorgon walked to the weapon rack on the right side of the tent and grabbed a long sword. The shining sword was like autumn water, cold to the bone. Dorgon suddenly raised it  He picked up the sword and slashed hard at Tiao Bian, who immediately broke into two pieces. "Gu Zhenhua killed my brother, dug up my ancestral graves, massacred the Qing warriors, and destroyed the unification of the country. He and I have long been estranged from each other.  There is a life and death battle!  I, Dorgon, will not lose to anyone!  " Dorgon's hysterical roar really has some of Ma Jingtao's style. It seems that the choice of actor is reasonable! Now that Dorgon has made up his mind, no one dares to stop him. The bloody battle in Handan hastily stopped, and another  A battle that truly determines life and death is about to begin! (To be continued)
