Chapter 491: Tuula siege and annihilation
As soon as Huang Taiji said this, everyone bowed their heads.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Huang Taiji said loudly in a deep tone: "Do you think it was really because I was impulsive that I randomly proposed this plan to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty? It's a big mistake! I have been thinking about this plan for a long time, and now I can tell you about it!"
"You have a good look. Li Xiao, who is in the dog, is now so powerful and rampant! This person occupied Shandong and took the entire Nanyang receipt, and also occupied the north of Heiyi Island, Sakhalin Island, and the vast areas outside the country. Under his rule, there are even more populations of tens of millions, rich wealth and strong military power. What is the difference between this Li Xiao's rule and an independent and powerful empire?"
Huang Taiji stood up, looked around everyone, frowned and said, "According to the detailed investigation of our country, Li Xiao is afraid that there are more than 100,000 elite soldiers under him. The elite level is not enough. Even the Qing Dynasty's long-term battle in Manzhou is probably not as good as the equipment of firearms. I won't talk about this guy's previous record, but now you have seen it. In just two months, Li Xiaolian
If you invade my territory, first destroy the Jinzhou, and then destroy Hetuala into plains, it is like entering a no-man's realm. Its combat power is so strong and scheming is so vicious! A person like this is much more posing to us than the decaying Ming Dynasty. If such an enemy is not destroyed as soon as possible, and when it grows further, I am only afraid that our Qing Empire will be destroyed, and our Manchu tribes will never be able to be slaves in the future!”
After Huang Taiji said this, he sighed again. Then he looked around and shouted to the powerful people in Manzhou: "Everyone, for my Qing Dynasty, Li Xiao has grown from a lowly rural hunter to the most dangerous and terrible enemy of our Qing Dynasty. If he lets it develop, he will only have to worry about the consequences! Therefore, I think that in order to deal with the devil Li Xiao, our army can temporarily put any other contradictions aside. Only by trying all the ways to eradicate this hateful guy as soon as possible and eliminate all the power of this person, can our Qing Dynasty resolve the crisis of the country and the possibility of seizing the world again."
After Huang Taiji's words were said, everyone was speechless, but Dorgon stood up and asked more: "The emperor's words are really reasonable. Li Xiao is already old and can no longer ignore them. However, I want to ask, after the battle in western Liaoning, the relationship between our Qing Dynasty and the Ming court will definitely worsen. So, how will our Qing Dynasty carry out peace talks with the Ming Dynasty?"
Huang Taiji glanced at him and said lightly: "Old Fourteen, I want to tell you that although the Ming army will be defeated by our Qing Dynasty, the entire army may even be destroyed. But this peace talks are not as troublesome as you think. On the contrary, if we negotiate peace talks with the Ming court on this basis, it will only be much easier than you imagined. I think that our country only needs to let the Mongolians who have contact with the Ming Dynasty be intermediaries and contact the Ming court, and then I believe that the peace talks between the two countries will be carried out quickly and smoothly."
Huang Taiji said this and said quietly: "Don't worry, I have been thinking about this for a long time, and I have already thought about all kinds of details. I am sure that the Ming court and we will reach an agreement soon. Because, as Li Xiao grows up, the Ming court's insecurity towards Li Xiao will continue to increase. After his elite troops were all eliminated by our army, their vigilance and fear of Li Xiao will reach an unprecedented level. They must also want to find an external force that can be borrowed to balance and suppress the ambitious Li Xiao."
Dorgon nodded, but said, "The emperor's words are very reasonable. But my brother heard that Emperor Chongzhen had married his eldest daughter to Li Xiao, thinking that he wanted to win closeness. Therefore, my brother thought that since he and Li Xiao had a marriage relationship, it would be difficult for our country to break up and provoke their connection."
"Old Fourteen, you want to say more. Do you think that Emperor Chongzhen, although married the princess to Li Xiao, the grudges in it were not so easy to completely eliminate them! Think about the Ming court, there were many disagreements with Li Xiao before. A few years ago, the Qing Dynasty successfully used a plan of disagreement, and ordered Chongzhen and Li Xiao to fight against the monarch and his ministers, forcing Li Xiao to rebel against the court. Later, although Chongzhen surrendered and the two barely got back together, the gap between the king and his ministers was already deep, and they had been disagreeing with each other. Take a step back and say,
After marrying the princess to Li Xiao, Li Xiao was ambitious and could he be trapped by the love of his children? Li Xiao is now so big, like a monarch who is no longer controlled by the Ming court. His power is so strong that the Ming court has no power to restrain him, but from my perspective, this mediocre and incompetent Emperor Chongzhen is afraid that he will be afraid all day long. Li Xiao, the apparent important minister of the Ming Dynasty, will one day turn around and rebel against the Qing dynasty."
"So, I think that as long as my Qing Dynasty expressed the sincerity of peace talks and expressed that my Qing Dynasty was willing to maintain peace and friendship with the Ming Dynasty from now on, Chongzhen would eventually accept such peace talks. In my opinion, as long as my Qing Dynasty ended this war, the Ming Dynasty's border with the Ming Dynasty Shuangshu Fort (now northeast of Xingcheng County, Chengning, Liaoning) was the border of the Ming Dynasty, Tashan (now southwest of Jinxian County) was the border of our Qing Dynasty, and then the two countries started trade at Lianshan (now Jinxi County), I would not believe it, and then Chongzhen would not be moved!" (This is the record of "The Records of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty", not fabricated by the author)
"The emperor is wise. We just follow the orders." After listening to Huang Taiji's analysis, everyone had no objection and unanimously bowed and responded.
...
Three days later, the Suohai tribe, who was chasing the east, saw Li Xiao's Tang army at the Dagu River, which was almost at the border of North Korea, at the Tukula cliff.
From a distance, they saw more than a dozen Tang army cavalry on the steep Tukula cliff in front of them, carrying a crooked Tang army flag and were walking towards the valley in groups of three or three.
After days of pursuit, Meleezhensouhai, who was already exhausted, was overjoyed. He suddenly felt refreshed and shouted: "Brothers, the Tang army is scattered and has no discipline. No trace of our army was found. Our army took the opportunity to chase them and caught them off guard!"
At this time, Suo Hai had completely forgotten Jirgalang's instructions. He marched for days and had a lot of revenge in his heart. He immediately issued an order to pursue the entire army like a gambler who discovered a chance to make a move.
As soon as his order was given, five thousand Manchu and Mongolian cavalry who were extremely tired from wading through mountains and rivers suddenly became excited. Many people showed their eyes as if they had discovered precious treasures, and they made a whistling sound in their mouths, and rushed towards the Tang army like a swarm.
It was not until a few hundred steps away that the dozen Tang cavalry behind the palace seemed to suddenly find the enemy coming, and immediately rolled up the flag and ran straight into the cliff of Tukula.
How can this prey escape?
Suo Hai immediately issued a loud order to speed up the pursuit and make sure that all Tang troops must be intercepted and killed.
A lush grass on the side of the mountain, a thousand-mile mirror emerged from the grass, and was observing the Qing cavalry that rushed towards the Tukula Valley.
Soon, the Qianli Miles mirror was put down, revealing the handsome and resolute face of Duke Tang Li Xiao, and this face was filled with a happy and comfortable smile.
My own trick to lure the enemy finally succeeded.
It turned out that as early as Suo Hai and others were still trekking in the rugged mountain road, the last wandering cavalry in the Tang army had already discovered the Qing army's actions.
So, when it was discovered that the Qing army had only advanced by cavalry and no follow-up troops arrived, Li Xiao made a quick decision and decided to use the plan and give the Qing army a devastating blow under the Tula cliff.
Seeing that these Qing cavalry had no formation at all and just wanted to destroy their follow-up troops by relying on their superiority of force, Li Xiao sneered in his heart.
Soon, on the narrow and curved mountain road in Tukura, 5,000 cavalry chasing all the way, rushed into the narrow and curved valley for several miles, and Li Xiao's right hand slashed violently.
Immediately, the continuous and sharp conch sounded on the hillside of Pangu Mountain Road.
Hearing the sound of the conch, Suo Hai's heart suddenly tightened.
It's over, ambushed!
Be careless!
"No, yes, we've been trapped!" A small cavalry leader shouted in panic.
Suo Hai's face turned gray, his lips trembled, and his heart was filled with regret.
Damn it, I originally wanted to attack Tang Jun and caught him off guard, but unexpectedly, on the other hand, Tang Jun brought a counter-encirclement to himself who was careless.
"Hurry, retreat quickly, the whole army retreated on the same road!" Suo Hai hissed.
It's too late.
When Suohai had just finished calling and the Qing cavalry had not yet started, the entrance at the back appeared from both sides. Many heavy armored infantry units wearing three layers of thick armor, with only two fierce eyes on their faces. Everyone held heavy weapons such as tiger swords, tiger spears, long-handled swords, and thick-backed military sickle. They were like a mecha monster armed to their teeth, blocking the entrance to the valley firmly!
This team is Li Xiaojun's rampant whistle.
At the exit of the Tukula Valley, a large number of cavalry emerged, including light-armored flying kites and heavy-armored Xuanhu Cavalry. With thousands of people, they blocked the exit of the valley, but did not attack immediately, but were silently outside the formation, watching the Suohai tribe struggle desperately under the encirclement.
All the Qing cavalry completely fell into the Tang army's valley pocket formation, and there was no possibility of escaping from the sky.
From both sides of the mountainside, a large number of shield soldiers holding large shields lined up in long rows, pressing towards the infantry on the mountain road from both sides.
Behind each large shield, a focused spearman was followed. The spear resting on the large shield was like poisonous snakes ready to go, full of a scammering sense of pressure.
What's even more terrifying is that behind the spearmen, on the hillsides on both sides, there were as many as thousands of gunmen holding slender and black lumi guns in their hands. The fuse hanging on the guns was burning loudly, and each gunmen aimed at them without saying a word.
Suo Hai's face was as pale as paper.
This is not a discrete army of the Tang army at all, but a full-scale elite Tang army that had already set up heavy troops and was waiting for themselves to take the bait!
Suo Hai gritted his teeth and shouted: "The whole army obeyed the order and rushed out of the mountain to meet with Prince Zheng!"
"Kill!"
"Run!"
The Qing cavalry, who were unwilling to wait for death, shouted together and rushed towards the rampant whistle blocking the entrance.
Seeing that the Qing army was determined to struggle to death, Li Xiao waved his hand expressionlessly.
Like dense burst beans, thousands of Lumi guns were dense, and the bright red flames appeared in the thick and choking smoke screen. Thousands of tiny lead bullets weighing three cents, making a slight roar like the laughter of death, and rushed towards the Qing cavalry in the valley.
Immediately, more than 2,000 Qing cavalry were hit by these tiny lead bullets. Among the splashing blood, countless cavalry screamed and fell to the ground.
In the face of such a huge terror of intensive death, the Qing cavalry immediately collapsed.
They howled sharply, like a surging torrent, desperately fleeing to the entrance just now.
They did not expect that the rampant general standing at the entrance had been waiting for them for a long time, and they were full of desire to kill them.
When they saw these Qing cavalry rushing towards them in chaos like opening a flood, everyone swung out their heavy weapons and hit the bandits who were rushing toward their deaths.
The tragic wails mixed with the wail of horses. The dull swords and guns penetrated into the flesh. The Qing cavalry fell to the ground one after another, and even more, they were chopped and killed with people and horses.
In this chaotic Qing army, the enemy general Suo Hai, who was fighting to kill, suddenly saw a pale sword light flashing. The head of a guard cavalry next to him was cut off like a disassembly toy. The broken surface of his neck was extremely neat, and the gushing horse blood spurted the rampant squirting army into blood red.
The horse that chopped off his head still ran forward a few steps under the influence of inertia before falling down with a bang and crushing the cavalry on his back to death.
Before he could shout out a scream, the enemy infantry who had just cut off the horse's head, roared and jumped high again, and swung the tiger sword in his hand quickly. Suo Hai said intimidatingly, and leaned over quickly. A white light flashed by, rubbing against the edge of his neck!
Before Suo Hai could be glad, a spearman who rushed down from the mountainside rushed over, and the 4-meter steel spear in his hand was shining with a cold light, viciously pierced the horse under his crotch through his belly!
The horse screamed, and the wound pierced by the spear blew like a spring. The horse shook and fell to the ground. Suo Hai couldn't get enough to thrust his legs and was pressed against his calves by the heavy horse's body. He clearly heard a cracking sound of a broken bone coming from his calves, and immediately the severe pain spread throughout his body, causing him to scream.
At the same time, other spearmen stabbed the guns, their spears trembled like dragons, fierce and fierce. One horse after another was stabbed and killed, and one Qing cavalry after another screamed and fell to the ground.
Under the surround of Li Xiaojun's gun and shield soldiers, the Qing cavalry continued to fall, and the oval encirclement formed by large iron shields with terrible spikes was getting smaller and smaller.
Suo Hai, who was pressed under the horse, was rescued by his personal soldiers who were eager to move the horse's corpse away. He was trembling with pain, and he watched the cavalry next to him become less and less, and his face couldn't help but look desperate.
"Well, your army has entered a desperate situation, and it is useless to die alone. Surrender as soon as possible!"
On the hillside, the loud shout of Tian Wei, the mayor of Xingzhong Town, Tang Jun, came.
"Does it be reduced?"
“Subsequently or not!”
“Subsequently or not!”
“Subsequently or not!”
...
All the Li Xiao and hissed and shouted loudly together, and the continuous shouts were like spring thunder, making the entire Tukula sky tremble.
Chapter completed!
