Chapter 1533 Sacrifice
From time to time, arrows came from behind, sometimes arrows passed by, hitting bricks and stones, causing rocks to fly, and then the angry roars of the Jurchens came.
At this time, some members of the action team shouted: "Dog Damn it, it almost cost me my life."
"Be careful." The responsible team official shouted: "Next, cooperate with the third team to consolidate the retreat points on the periphery, and try to get as many horses as possible in your hands."
"It's almost done." A team member also shot a crossbow, throwing a vest that had been staring at them to the ground. The crossbow shot through the iron armor on the other party's body and penetrated it into his chest. The arrow almost completely penetrated. The vest began to lie on the ground and vomit blood, obviously he couldn't survive.
The team member cheered, but suddenly shot a light arrow from a distance, hitting the team member's neck, and blood bloomed in the air like a firework. The team member's eyes widened and reached out to pull out the arrow, but he knew that as soon as he pulled it out, he would finish it immediately, so he just stared at it and didn't take action.
"Luo San'er, you can't do it anymore." The action captain seemed to have not had much emotion, and hesitated to turn and leave without hesitation. He just looked back when he ran away at the end, and said calmly: "Don't worry about everything."
Time is too tight. In fact, the captain and the team member who was shot in the arrow have been working together for more than three years. If the military commander did not recommend the tricks in the Ming army, the two would have been sworn. Even so, it was a good thing for the Tong family. The two families were together, and the wives who were married not long ago had a son, and their parents took them to live with them. The two had already agreed that once one of them died, the remaining people who were alive must take good care of each other's family. The captain did not say too much now, just two simple words. The team member who was severely injured actually smiled on his face. He nodded slightly before slowly falling down.
Such casualties are inevitable. Everyone is mentally prepared. There is not much time for sentimentality and mourning. Everyone is continuing to act. They have done well and are better than expected. However, when the captain led the first team members to evacuate the outside and continue to create chaos, he still couldn't help looking at the place where the artillery fired.
That is the core area of the mission. The chaos created in Tangchi is definitely a textbook spy war raid, which created considerable chaos when the enemy was caught off guard and had a lot of damage.
You should know that this is not an ordinary official village or small village town, but a core area of the Jurchens. Those who can live here are the senior officials of the Jurchens, and there is not even a Han general. Even surrendered generals like Li Yongfang are not qualified to be brought here. Only those Belle princes, the general officers of the Eight Banners, the senior officials of the left and right wings of Mongolia and the Taiji who surrendered are qualified to come here. The guards brought by these relatives are quite powerful, and they can create such chaos here, which is enough for the Jurchens to lose all their faces, making these members participating in the raid a living legend. As long as they can return to the ruling area of Hutchison, what is waiting for them will be flowers and applause, and of course there are various rewards, including the medal of honor that everyone values the most.
While they were rushing toward the darkness, they were still leaving behind a fire. Whether they had lost their companions or were still in extreme danger, these excellent men remember to fulfill their responsibilities, even if they would lose their lives.
There were more fire and more chaos, but the chaos in the core area would always gradually calm down. The firelight on the outside can only show that a team responsible for the early chaos and the team responsible for the breaking back had begun to gather on the outside. They could only hold on for so long at the scheduled time. Trying to do more will only make the Eight Banners soldiers who reacted quickly surrounded them. Apart from the angry Jurchens chopped into meat sauce, the two team members could not do much.
When sacrifice is inevitable, someone will have to sacrifice. Hutchison Merchant Army and members of various powerful departments have this understanding. Although Hutchison uses steel to teach the Northern Territory, don’t ignore the soldiers’ death and sacrifice.
But if sacrifice is worthless, then avoid it as much as possible.
More Jurchens began to gather under the shouts of their relatives and nobles. They obviously all set out toward one goal, so the Jurchens' reaction will be very fast.
After the sound of cannons came, these relatives became even more anxious. From the initial shock and anger to the sound of cannons came from Lao Khan's residence, they were afraid and embarrassed.
Although Nurhaci is terminally ill, almost everyone can accept the fact that Lao Khan is alive soon. However, the death of Lao Khan is definitely different from being raided by the Han people. If Lao Khan really fails, all the relatives and Jurchen soldiers present will be faceless to live in the world.
The fire was burning and there was chaos around it, and it was still quite obvious when the cannon sounded.
All the Jurchens shouted in shame and annoyed, and they began to rush over to Nuerhaci's residence.
...
When the fight first started, Dorgon was still sleeping and was not awakened by the noise at the first time.
However, Cao Zhenyan turned over and got up immediately. There were several other coats in his room, and everyone was awakened.
Cao Zhenyan knew what was going on, but he didn't say anything, and like everyone else, he showed mixed colors of shock and fear on his face.
After so many years, there has never been such a thing in the camp where Lao Khan was stationed. First, the Dongjiang soldiers were causing trouble on the periphery. Lao Khan was furious and sent elite troops to clear the enemy. The troops sent troops to garrison elsewhere, and soon the chaos subsided and the rest of the place calmed down.
Who would have thought that after midnight, something went wrong in the Tangchi!
After the shouts of killing, the shouts of fire and water, and the noise of people and horses running around, no one dared to stay in the house and pretend to be stupid.
The escorts and the robbers all ran out of the house, and there were fire and crowds running around.
This is the time when the first team members throw fire cups everywhere, and it is also the most ignorant period when the people in the pond wake up from their sleep. The chaos at this time is the most chaotic and terrifying.
Because the incident just started, no one knew what happened. The most terrifying thing was the fear of ignorance. It was like walking in the dark night and scaring yourself to death. In fact, you didn't see anything. If you really saw something, you wouldn't be so scared.
The surrounding houses kept catching fire, and Dorgon threw in a few cups of fire in the courtyard. The side wing where the Baoyunmen lived suddenly burned. The guards were calm, and the Baoyunmen screamed in fear.
At this time, Dorgon put on his clothes and immediately sent someone to carry water to put out the fire.
A guard Zhang Jing wanted to take people out for a look. Dorgon shook his head and said, "It's meaningless to go out now. It's like a mess outside. If you go out, you just run around in the crowd. What's the use?"
The people were quite clear about this, and everyone was impressed. Even Cao Zhenyan, who had a ulterior motive, nodded slightly. No wonder the senior Jurchens attached the most importance to Dorgon. The three brothers born to the concubine, Ajigeyong and Dodohun, were only one Dorgon, who was considered one wise and was valued by others.
"Little Cao." Dorgon glanced at Cao Zhenyan at a glance and frowned: "Have you ever seen something strange when you went out?"
Cao Zhenyan had reported what he did, and had a foreshadowing. He knelt down on the ground without panic. Cao Zhenyan touched his head and said in a deep voice: "I have not done my job well and have never seen this hidden soldier."
"Well, you're not bad." Dorgon waved his hand, thinking of what Cao Zhenyan said before, and said, "If you were discovered by them before, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to come back."
Cao Zhenyan kowtowed and apologized. Dorgon didn't say anything else, but just stood on the steps and looked at the situation outside.
There was chaos outside the courtyard wall, and the buildings in the courtyard caught fire. The coats used two buckets to pour the water from the pond onto the burning house, which was quite limited.
The ignition tank is filled with hot tinder, which is difficult to extinguish with water when it is burned, let alone a drop in the bucket.
The guards were all covered in armor, standing around and guarding Dorgon among them.
There should be many relatives and nobles outside who take people to calm the chaos and chase those enemies who are making trouble, but Dorgon would not say anything if he didn't go out. He was too young and he would hide honestly and not cause trouble. Instead, it was right.
The north wind suddenly rose in the night sky, and Dorgon felt a chill and couldn't help but wrap his robe tightly around him.
The outside was a mess, with fire, figures, weapons and horses, like a chaotic farce without rehearsal. Dorgon never thought that such a thing would happen in the core of the Later Jin Dynasty, where the Lao Han Tangchi bathed.
What if it is in Liaoyang?
Where is in Shenyang?
If this is the case, the Dongjiang infiltration of the Later Jin Dynasty would be too terrible, and there was almost no safe place under the Later Jin Dynasty.
Of course, Dorgon also felt that this was an accidental successful raid, using one force to attract the attention of the troops garrisons of the Later Jin Dynasty. At the same time, there were many garrisons in the Tangchi, which made it much less difficult for another small force to infiltrate in. If it weren't for this, the Guanzhuang and the garrisons along the way would not have been unaware of it.
When the shouts of fighting and the sound of artillery bombardment came from Lao Khan's residence, Dorgon's face turned pale. He and everyone did not expect that this small army of soldiers who came to the raid had a big goal, and there must be internal spies, otherwise there would be no way to find Lao Khan's residence directly.
It seems that the people from Dongjiang Town have already installed manpower here and found out the detailed information. Then they fired the left and right. The large army drew away most of the defensive forces, and a small group of elite troops rushed in and attacked.
Judging from the movements outside, even if there are not many people coming in, they are definitely the elite among the elites in Dongjiang, and are definitely not comparable to ordinary Dongjiang Town soldiers.
Dorgon did not think of the Shang army at first. After all, he was still young and did not have a keen sense of the battlefield and the thinking of the senior management.
