Chapter 560
This was not the first time that Li Zicheng came to Helan Mountain. During the two years when he was chased by the Liao soldiers, his footprints were almost all over the northwest. He even took his belongings as far away as Hami and Turpan. If the Ili River Valley was not too far away, maybe he
I will also go to Yili for a tour.
Abaci Pass is so similar to Hangai Mountain. There is a ditch between the two mountains. The cliffs on both sides are like cutting with a knife and an axe. If the pass is built here, it will be a nightmare for any army.
Of course, Li Zicheng would not be stupid enough to build a city here. Although collecting tolls is a cost-effective business, this business requires strength. In the vast northwest, his two thousand people are really not enough.
The powerful Jungar Mongols were like a mountain pressing down on the entire Western Region. Any person or force that dared to oppose Jungar would be crushed to pieces by the powerful Mongolian cavalry. Facing the Mongols, Li Zicheng was as small as a louse.
But usually, the giant has nothing to do against lice. The reason is simple, there are too many lice, and the giant has no idea which louse bit him.
So the giant will inevitably draw a circle around the place where the incident occurred, and all possible suspects will suffer.
Fortunately, Li Zicheng committed crimes on the run. How the local herdsmen would respond to the anger of the Mongols afterwards was not at all within his scope of consideration.
After lying in wait for two days, Li Zicheng still did not wait for the legendary Mongolian caravan. There was no news from the spies he sent out, and it was not known whether they were eaten by wolves or the Mongols.
"Brother, why do I feel something is wrong? Logically speaking, the Mongolians should be here soon. Why haven't the spies come back yet?" Liu Zongmin chewed beef jerky in his mouth and carried a wine bag in his hand. For the past two days, Li Zicheng has been guarding
Watching the wind personally at the top of the mountain, Liu Zongmin was very worried that the leading brother would become a watcher's stone.
"I also feel a little awkward. It's time to reach the end of the mile." Li Zicheng took the wine bag from Liu Zongmin's hand and took a sip. The milk-flavored wine was poured into his mouth, and Li Zicheng felt a little like vomiting.
I have been in the grassland for more than two years, and I still am not used to the taste of kumiss. I don’t know how Liu Zongmin got used to drinking this stuff. To Li Zicheng, this is swill with a milky taste.
"We'll have to wait two days at most. If he doesn't come, we'll stop. I don't know if Gao Jie has captured that bastard Li Yan. Damn it, a leader took the lead in escaping. If we don't deal with him, the team will disperse." Li Zicheng poured out the wine.
Returning the bag to Liu Zongmin, he continued to look into the distance, hoping to find the legendary Mongolian caravan.
The day before Liu Zongmin and Li Zicheng spoke, Gao Jie led dozens of his men back to the camp to fight horses.
"Boss Gao, why are you back so soon?" The young boss who was left behind by Li Zicheng to look after Gao Jie saw Gao Jie coming and hurried over to fawn over him.
"Haha! Li Yan is behind, he will be there in a moment." Gao Jie pointed his horse whip back, and the little boss looked back naturally.
The moment the little boss turned his head, Gao Jie thrust out the saber in his hand. The knife stabbed hard into the little boss's neck, and when he pulled it out, a bloody arrow came out.
"Holy shit!" the gangster next to him screamed and immediately turned around and tried to escape.
Gao Jie raised his hand and pulled the trigger of the short-barreled firecracker.
"Bang!" Only six or seven steps away, the bullet broke the little guy's spine, then penetrated through the chest, spurting out with a large amount of blood. The bullet that passed through also hit a horse.
Butt. The horse neighed and ran wildly, knocking over tents, people, and a wheelbarrow along the way. The whole camp was disturbed by the horse and immediately became a mess.
"Kill!" Gao Jie's men suddenly changed their faces, and drew out the sabers in their hands. They showed no mercy to Yuri's brothers. The sun was shining brightly, and the sabers struck down with arcs of light. Immediately, blood splattered on the heads.
"High Leader, what are you doing?" Some people did not react, and their bodies had already been penetrated by the thrown javelins.
At a distance of more than ten steps, the power of the javelin was very huge. The people left behind by Li Zicheng had no armor at all.
In order to deal with the Mongolian caravan guards, Li Zicheng took away almost all the troops. There were only about a hundred people guarding the camp. The leader of the small leader came with more than a dozen people to greet Gao Jie, but was killed by Gao Jie's fifty cavalry in a single charge.
The winning ones were thrown off their backs, while the remaining ones ran away with their heads in their hands, fearing that they would become the next victims of the sword.
Just as he ran back to the camp and shouted twice, he saw Mr.
"Madam! What's wrong, Mr. Gao is crazy. He kills everyone he sees...!" Before he could finish his words, the knife in Xing's hand had already been stabbed into his stomach.
Xing's wrist turned and twisted, and the knife in his hand was pulled sideways. A huge wound was immediately pulled out on his stomach. When Xing pulled out the knife, his intestines also flowed out.
The little guy looked at his intestines and then at the bloody knife in Xing's hand. He was so horrified that he even forgot to scream.
"Kill!" Ms. Xing shouted and immediately transformed into a female tiger. With a long knife in her hand, she slashed at everyone she saw. These guys can be regarded as licking blood from the edge of the knife, but few of them are the enemy of one unit.
.
The dozen or so people behind Mr.
Gao Jie's men turned their horses and came back to kill them. The horses slaughtered wildly in the camp, and screams could be heard one after another.
The two groups merged together, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they slaughtered all the people Li Zicheng had left to look after his house. Seeing that they could not escape, and unable to resist, the remaining twenty or so people simply knelt on the ground and begged Xing.
Shi and Gao Jie spare their lives.
They were originally rogues, and they followed whoever they could to make ends meet.
"Anyone who is willing to come with me...!" Gao Jie saw that there were several people who were very flattering to him on weekdays, and he couldn't bear to kill them all.
"Kill them all!" Xing swung the knife in his hand, and more than fifty people swarmed forward, slashing with knives and axes to turn the more than twenty surrendered people into a pile of meat.
"No need, they are all...!" Gao Jie felt a little scared when he saw Xing covered in blood. Is this a human or a tigress?
"These are the people Li Zicheng trusts most and are the most loyal to him. Do you think they will follow you? If one of them escapes on the way, we will all be doomed.
Everyone, go pack your things and lead the horses! Bring all the horses!" Mrs. Xing shouted to everyone to work. There are more than a hundred carts of things here, which is not a small amount. Just packing it will probably take a day.
"Nuo!" In view of Xing's female power, everyone responded with a "Nuo" and left with a bang. Those who set up a car set up a car, and those who moved things moved things.
"We don't have much time, we have to hurry up." Mr. Xing ignored Gao Jie and went back to his tent. Although he had packed some things in the past few days, there were not too many things to pack. He will need it when he arrives in Guanzhong in the future.
Mr. Xing was not prepared to leave behind a large amount of money.
Gao Jie choked for a moment, and now he realized what it means that women are more cruel than men.
Li Zicheng had no idea what was going on more than two hundred miles away. He was still waiting for the arrival of the Mongolian caravan, but it was a pity that the Mongolian caravan did not come, but the Mongolian army did.
At dusk, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry suddenly appeared in sight. A few cavalry galloped down the mountain pass and threw out a few heads. Without even thinking about it, these must be the heads of those spies.
Obviously, this robbery has been exposed. The other party sent so many cavalry out, but they had no intention of letting him go back alive.
Galdan looked at the Abaci Pass in the distance, and he didn't know whether he should thank these people or hate them.
Two months ago, Baturhun received a piece of news. It was not the Khalkha Mongols who ambushed the Sengge, but a group of Han horse thieves wandering on the grasslands. At first, Baturhun did not believe this was true.
of.
The three hundred cavalry led by Sengge are all good cavalrymen in Zhungeer's headquarters. How could they be defeated by the Han people? Sengge is not a fool. Even if the opponent is ten times their strength, he will not run away if he can't defeat him?
In order to confirm the news, he asked Galdan to check to see if it was true. If it was true, Galdan needed to avenge his brother.
What a coincidence! Someone betrayed a few spies, captured them and tortured them. Galdan actually asked that it was this group of Han people who attacked his elder brother Sengge. The location, time and method of the ambush were explained in detail.
Not bad at all. Moreover, this group of horse thieves actually wanted to ambush his own caravan.
Hearing the news, Galdan was filled with hatred. He decided to catch the horse thieves himself, not only to avenge his elder brother Sengge, but also to show his father his own methods. To this end, he mobilized all his subordinates
Twenty thousand cavalry. Although there was some suspicion of killing a chicken with a sledgehammer, Galdan decided to do it.
This time, he wasn't going to let anyone in this group of people run away.
Surrounded by 20,000 cavalry, the entire Abaci Pass was surrounded like a steel tunnel. Under the setting sun at dusk, there were shadows of Mongolian cavalry everywhere you looked.
"Master, the Mongols have discovered us." The wine bag in Liu Zongmin's hand fell to the ground. With so many people, there is no way to escape. Moreover, if the Mongolian cavalry on the opposite side is bitten by them and pursues them, they will
There is no way to survive at all.
"I'm not blind!" Li Zicheng was so angry that his head was smoking. At this time, he still said such nonsense. Now he felt that this was a fucking trap. A trap to deal with him!
No matter how many Mongolians there are, it is impossible to send so many people to encircle and suppress him. The only possibility is... that the interception and killing of the Mongolian caravan was exposed.
But just for robbing a caravan, does one need such a large-scale revenge?
"What should I do, boss?" A leader is about to collapse. There are so many people on the other side, and it is impossible to escape.
"I...!" Li Zicheng wanted to say that I know what to do, but he swallowed his words again. His leader, when he said these words, his military morale was completely shattered.
"It's getting dark soon. Let's kill them while they are neglecting them in the middle of the night." At this point, we can only treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor. If we run out, we will count them all!
"With so many Mongolian cavalry, can we kill them?" Liu Zongmin once again showed his extremely low IQ.
"Then you stay here and wait to die!" Li Zicheng's nose was almost crooked with anger. If the enemy didn't need a strong general like Liu Zongmin, he would have killed him immediately.
Galdan looked at the Abaci Pass in the distance, and found a few people in the telescope. The distance was too far, and these people were just black spots.
"Why didn't His Highness the Prince order an attack?" Dorgon also looked at the Abaci Pass in the distance, put down his telescope and asked.
"Haha! The Abaci Mountain Pass is densely wooded. A strong attack will definitely result in the loss of many men. If we surround them like this, they will definitely escape on their own. Just like when hunting, we always have to scare rabbits so that they will run away from the grass.
come out.
When they run out, it's the beginning of our hunting. Mr. Dorgon, don't you Jurchens hunt like this?" Galdan respected this Jurchen leader who came over. This man is always wise and can create things.
Produce very powerful firearms.
Whether it is to seize the legitimate son or to pursue his own dreams in the future, Galdan needs such a person. During this period, he has been deliberately getting close to Dorgon, hoping to take this person into his account.
"His Royal Highness's idea is very good. Now these people are like rabbits about to be frightened. If my guess is right, they should break out at midnight. Moreover, they should take the mountain road to the west. Because only there can they take advantage of the cavalry.
.”
"Oh, I agree that they broke through from the mountain road in the west. But why did you say it was at midnight?" Geerdan asked Dorgon curiously.
"The Han people have a strange book called "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which tells the story of the melee at the end of the Han Dynasty. In that book, sneak attacks and breakouts mostly happened at midnight, which is what the Han people usually call midnight.
The power of habit is powerful, so I am sure they will break through at midnight." Dorgon was very confident.
"Okay! Just follow your instructions, sir. If you are right, I will give you the best war horse." Galdan ordered with a smile.
"Please ask His Highness the Prince to arrange an ambush on the path. The Han people also have a habit, that is, officials always want to let others attract attention and escape by themselves." Dorgon suggested with a smile. For the Han people, his suggestion
He knows far more than this ten-year-old child.
The Mongolian cavalry is most familiar with hunting. When Genghis Khan went on his western expedition, he hunted to supply military supplies while fighting. Twenty thousand people fighting two thousand people was basically hunting.
"Fuck you!" Li Zicheng cursed as he glanced at the bright moon in the sky.
