Chapter 372
The sky is overcast, and the north wind is howling across the frozen land. This winter is extremely cold, and the small north wind blows on the face as if it has been whipped by a whip. The hard snow particles make people miserable.
My entire face was burning with pain, and the white gas I was emitting could even obscure people's vision.
"Damn it, drive!" Hauge cursed this damn weather while galloping on his horse. Even in Liaodong, it is not so cold at the beginning of winter. The heavy snow at this time should be as fluttering as goose feathers.
The Yang sprinkles from the sky are so beautiful!
At this time of year, Hauge would ask his chef to stew a pot of good mutton. He would drink with a few concubines while admiring the beautiful snow scenery. Especially the heavy snow falling on the cedar, with the dark green cedar holding his head.
With the white snow and the frozen green lake, the scenery is as beautiful as fuck.
Nowhere is the scene like what I see now, there are burned villages everywhere. There are houses that are smoking or have become charred. Not to mention robbing things along the way, there is not even a good well.
It was easy to find a well, and I threw the iron bucket tied with a rope, but I couldn't get any water. If I looked carefully, I saw that there were many corpses thrown in. There were people, pigs, and two living ducks standing on the corpses.
Go up, look at the mouth of the well, shouting "ga" and "ga".
Hauge was so angry that his head was smoking. He really didn't have time. Otherwise, he would have wanted to roast these two ducks!
From Zijingguan to the capital, the entire road was steep and clear. This time the Han people did a better job than Liaodong. After all, this is not Liaodong, which was vast and sparsely populated in the past. This is Zhili, on the edge of the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The towns here are densely populated.
When passing by the small county town several times, Hauge wanted to order an attack on the city. There must be a lot of good things in this small county town.
But no! Dad's order is firm, let him go straight into the capital. The Ming emperor must be blocked in the city before he escapes, and wait for the large army behind to attack the city.
As long as the Ming emperor is blocked, and then the capital city is captured, then...! The Jurchens can use the emperor in their hands to order all the Han people, including that damn Li Xiao!
As long as Li Xiao is taken care of, Huang Taiji plans to return to Liaodong with the looted property from the capital.
Hundreds of thousands of rioters sent chills down Huang Taiji's spine. He really couldn't solve the problem of feeding these thousands of people. It was better to let the emperor of the Han family solve this problem. He just stayed outside the customs and took away the wealth of the Han people.
Like leeks, it is better to harvest one crop after another.
"Master Beile, the capital is ahead. You see, there are many people in front of us who seem to be fleeing." Yi Bilong pointed to the gray sky in front of him.
Out of thin air, a dark city suddenly appeared. The tall city wall of the capital city looked like a giant beast in the wind and snow. The darkness stretched for dozens of miles, and the city wall tens of feet high blocked all sight. Hauge swore,
This is the tallest and most magnificent city wall he has ever seen.
I used to think that the city wall of Liaoyang was high enough, but now the city wall that is much taller than Liaoyang cannot even compare to half of the capital city.
In the snow in the distance, a long line of dark people were squirming. In the wind and snow, everyone was as bloated as a bear. The wealthy families had carriages. The common people could only hold their children and pull their wives on their backs.
Carrying a large package on their backs, they were traveling with their families and their families in tow. They were moving in the same direction, which was to the south. Regardless of whether it was southeast or southwest, just go south anyway.
When they finally arrived, Hauge gave a ferocious laugh and drew his saber. He was very good at massacring civilians. He had done it in Fushun, Shenyang, and Liaoyang.
"Warriors of Zhenghuang Banner, the opportunity to make a fortune has come, come with me!" With a wave of his saber, four thousand elite cavalrymen of Zhenghuang Banner rushed towards the fleeing crowd like the wind.
As long as they are fleeing people, gold and silver will always be found on them. In the eyes of the Zhenghuang Banner Cavalry, refugees are not people, but money bags that can run away. They come all the way out and run at the risk of their lives, isn't it?
For money.
The large group of cavalry sent up snow foam into the sky. The refugees marching hard on the road were like sheep being attacked by wolves. It exploded all of a sudden, and people screamed and ran away. The guy driving the carriage didn't care.
There were people everywhere on the road. They waved their riding whips tightly and let their horses run wildly. They didn't care if the horses knocked down people or the children crying under the wheels. Anyway, the most important thing was to escape quickly. As for whether others died or not, it was none of my business!
Hauge felt very happy. This time he sent troops and spent every day with the poor people who couldn't even afford clothes. He didn't get any benefits at all. Now, he finally smelled the smell of money.
"Drive!" shouted Hauge, and he increased the speed of his horse. It is very dangerous for a war horse to run fast in the snow, because God knows if there are any holes or rocks under the snow. If you fall at this time, you will be disabled even if you don't die.
Bilong hurriedly increased his horse speed, but he did not dare to let anything happen to Mr. Baylor. He was the eldest brother, and he might be the Great Khan in the future.
As soon as he passed Hauge, Yi Bilong shouted loudly: "Master Beile, run slower. The two legs of the Han people cannot outrun our four legs."
The roar of the horse's hoofs completely overwhelmed his roar. Bilong took a mouthful of snow foam, and Haug didn't hear a bit. Just when he was thinking about getting closer, suddenly the head of a cavalryman next to him
It exploded instantly. Immediately afterwards, the body fell under the horse and was covered by the snow and dust in the sky.
"There's an ambush!" Yi Bilong shouted, but no one could hear him except another mouthful of snow foam.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!" The sound of gunshots rang out like fried beans. At first, you could still hear the numbers clearly. Later, you couldn't even hear the numbers clearly, and you could only see the yellow flag cavalry falling to their horses one after another.
Down.
Hauge was shocked. He didn't expect that there was an ambush here. After looking carefully, Hauge smiled.
Along the frozen moat, two teams of cavalry rushed out. Each team only had about a hundred people, and they were rushing towards their flanks on flying horses.
This Ming army is seeking death. Relying on their own blunderbuss, two hundred cavalrymen dare to attack their four thousand elite Zhenghuang Banners. They are seeking death!
Turning the horse's head around, Hauge decided to get rid of these nasty bugs first. Don't think that just having two fire blunderbuss is a big deal.
"Disperse!" Zu Kuan raised his hand, then clenched his fist and stretched his arms up and down. Although he knew that the soldiers could not hear his command, he still yelled out of habit. But he immediately regretted it, and his horse swayed
The snow foam poured into his mouth.
The cavalry company under his command immediately dispersed into battle formation, and the cavalry skirmishers spread out very widely. Unlike the Yellow Banner Cavalry, their charge formation still maintained a traditional close-knit formation.
"Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah!...!" The long-barreled revolver fired continuously. Although the war horse was very bumpy and difficult to aim at, the opponent's formation was very dense, which greatly improved the hit rate.
Zu Chengxun on the other side was doing the same thing. Two cavalry companies with 200 cavalry formed a wide front, which was longer than the formation of 4,000 Zhenghuang Banner cavalry.
"Retreat!" Seeing Hou Jinjun being attracted to him, Zu Chengxun and Zu Kuan raised their arms in unison, and then shook them wildly.
The speed of the war horse slowed down rapidly, then neatly turned the horse's head to the left, and ran back risking his life. He could not run any further, any closer would be the shooting distance of the Hou Jin Army's bow and arrow. These bastards, the bow and arrow can
Shoot very far.
Reload and shoot while running!
"Stop, it's the Liao army!" I heard the continuous gunshots and saw them turning their horses' heads neatly.
The ghosts of Haug are coming out. These damn cavalry are not ordinary Ming army cavalry, but damn Liao army cavalry. Shouldn't they be fighting with Amin in the Daling River, so why did they come to the capital?
