Nanming Engineer

Chapter 473 Escape

"Dorgon is dead! Dorgon is dead!"

The excited Shanxi rebels shouted, yelling news that they didn't know the true or false, shuttled across the battlefield, looking for the lonely Qing soldiers, and then swarmed forward to kill them.

They basically did not play any role in this war. Most of the time they stayed nervously watching the show behind the Kuizhou army. There were several times when the Qing army flooded over. People back off.

When they were the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, these people would have run away with oil on their feet. This is an escape technique that has been practiced thousands of times, and it is as unforgettable as it is unforgettable.

However, Duke Liang is on the wall, and the covetous Kuizhou army and the brigade are watching behind him. Whoever dares to run away must have no good fruit to eat. The heads of several deserters and hundreds of routs that Duke Liang personally chopped off The heads were mixed together and hung on the wall for public display, with the blood still wet.

Because of this, they saw a great victory that they would never forget in their lifetime, and Man Baqi, who was so arrogant and invincible in the world, was actually defeated!Lost!Lost!

When many people held weapons and began to charge amidst the sound of the horn, they were still in a dream. They could hardly believe their eyes, and looked at the white-armored soldiers of Kuizhou with even more awe.After running for a while, I became as excited as if I had been given a shot of chicken blood. Everyone knows how to fight with the wind, especially with the Kuizhou soldiers, it is particularly exciting!

Jurchen soldiers, who used to be terrified when they saw it from a distance, would run away without thinking about their heads, what an irony!Everyone is happy, the Qing soldiers scurrying all over the mountain are like mice, they will kill when they chase them.

The shouts that disturbed the morale of the soldiers made the Qing soldiers even more unwilling to fight. No one in the rebellious army could tell whether Dorgon was alive or dead, so run away, and saving your life is the right way now.

Under the sun, one-sided pursuit and killing spread across the field. From Shiling Pass to the north, there were crowds of hacking and shouting everywhere. Swords, swords, shadows and blood flowed into rivers. On the road, in the fields, and on the high mountains on both sides, there were people fleeing and hunting. The corpses were densely packed, the broken drums and flags were thrown all over the ground, the flames were burning on the bloody cart, and a large plume of black smoke rose to the sky.

Compared with the undisciplined chasing and hacking of the rebels, the Kuizhou army obviously began to slow down, consciously gave way to both sides, and gave up the task of chasing and escaping to the rebel brothers who came to take advantage of it, and began to gather, with the cavalry leading the way. The pawns are behind and advance at high speed.

Li Dingguo and Ding Guodong led a team composed of Kuizhou cavalry and Gansu town cavalry, like a huge arrow shot by a giant bow, decisively bypassed the crowded routs, ignored a large number of fleeing Qing soldiers, and headed towards Daizhou. The official way chased after him fiercely.

Except for the cumbersome artillery battalion, all the infantry of the Kuizhou Army took the three major battalions as a unit. Under the leadership of their respective battalions, they followed the horseshoe prints of the cavalry and headed northward. opportunity to eliminate trouble for the rebels who were cleaning up the battlefield behind.

Wang Huan and Li Dingguo walked together, giving orders along the way, and dispatched a large number of scouts to look for the shadow of Dorgon in the chaos. Its swiftness is enough to shame even the Nanming army who is most proficient in this way.

A lot of people were caught. Some people were tough, scolded endlessly, and refused to surrender. Such people were killed with a single blow.After killing a few, those greedy for life and afraid of death appeared, knelt on the ground and betrayed Dorgon's whereabouts humbly, and the scouts of the brigade spread out to verify the authenticity of the news.

What is frustrating is that these Qing soldiers were fighting at the front, and they didn't know about Dorgon's news behind them. They pointed in one direction in a mess, and the scouts chased them for a while, but when they came back, the reports were not true. Wang Huan frowned deeply. Some worried.

After all, he is not a god, and it is not easy to find someone who wants to escape on a huge battlefield.He only divided his troops. Ding Guodong went to Daizhou to block Dorgon's escape route. He and Li Dingguo went to Xinzhou to prevent Dorgon from fleeing from Mount Wutai to Dingxiang.

Just as the Ming army pursued with great fanfare, Dorgon faintly woke up from his coma.

He slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a blue sky and a scorching sun.

The body is moving quickly, the sun is shining on the body, it is very warm and comfortable, and the wind is blowing from the front, making it very cool and very comfortable. This feeling is even more wonderful than being on a soft couch in the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Dole breathed out and closed his eyes. The next second, he opened his eyes fiercely like a wolf, turned over and sat up.

Instinctively grabbing the knife at his waist, he jumped up from the wooden cart.

The people around looked at him in surprise, and then cheered: "The prince is awake! The prince is awake!"

Surrounding him were some disheveled soldiers, some of them still had blood on their bodies, and looked smoky. Dorgon looked at them in confusion, and then looked around. This is a barren mountain road, not No matter how wide it is, a wooden cart that can only lie on him alone can barely pass while being pulled by two horses. There are some quilts and clothes on the cart to make him sleep more comfortably in a coma.

"Where is this?" Dorgon asked, "Where's the Ming army? How is the war going?"

A general wearing Gushan forehead real armor came up and reported respectfully: "Go back to the prince, this is the remnant of Luliang Mountain, and the name of the land is Manglang Mountain. Not far ahead is the Muma River. After passing the Muma River Not far away is Xinzhou."

"Manglang Mountain?" Dorgon stared at him, furious: "What are you doing here? Why are you here? Rosh, you are so bold! Could it be that you want to kidnap the king and run away?!"

This Gushan Ezhen Luoshi is Dorgon's trusted confidant, and he is loyal. At this time, he knelt down and buried his head, crying bitterly: "Regent, defeated! The army is defeated! The Ming army defeated our cavalry, and the artillery fire hit us. The former army was dispersed, the defeated soldiers turned back, and the infantry formation of Oboi was dispersed. The Ming army took the opportunity to cover up and kill, and our army was defeated. The prince heard the bad news from the rear again, and fainted with anger and blood. We wait for no one. , had to protect the prince and retreat, and was chased and killed by the Ming army stragglers along the way, all the way here, there are only a few hundred people who can follow the slaves and so on."

"Defeated?" Dorgon looked at him incredulously, and repeated: "Wang Huan won?"

Suddenly, he drew the knife in his hand, and put the sharp blade on Rosh's neck, and said sharply: "You dog slave, dare to lie to me?!"

Rosh raised his head, let the blade cut a bloody gash on his neck, and said sadly: "My lord, how dare this slave lie to you, you are really defeated. In order to cover the lord, the two sons of the slave led the troops to block the Ming army. I didn't come back when I said it, I don't know good or bad, how can this matter be fake?"

Dorgon's expression was suffocated, the knife did not cut down, and his eyes turned to several other high-ranking generals, who knelt on the ground, echoed, and cried and kowtowed.

"Dang!"

The precious sword inlaid with gold and jade fell to the ground, and the regent, who had just woken up from a coma, fell headlong on the cart.

"My lord!" Several people were startled, rushed forward to pinch the person and rubbed his head, worked for a long time before Dorgon turned around.

"Your Highness is precious! The important matter is not over, as long as you return to Datong and mobilize the army, the dog is nothing but a fan, please don't be angry with the Lord!" Luo Shi and the others looked ashen, if Dorgon confessed here, everything will be over.

Taking a deep breath, Dorgon sat up slowly, his brows seemed to have aged several years in an instant, and his movements were slow. Rosh and others wanted to help him, but he slapped him away.

"We can't go to Xinzhou." He calmed his breathing and said calmly: "Wang Huan is as cunning as a fox, just waiting to kill me. His soldiers must have gone to Xinzhou at this moment. The one who stayed in Xinzhou was Lu Guangzu of the Han army. This man's tactful nature cannot be trusted at all. As soon as the Ming army arrives, they will either flee or surrender. We have few soldiers and are in danger, so going to Xinzhou is too risky."

Rosh was taken aback, and said in a low voice, "So, what should I do?"

Dorgon faced to the west, where there are majestic mountains, a path winds towards the mountains, disappearing among the green hills.

"Send fine horses to Datong, so that Azig can't face the Mongolian rebels head-on, preserve the last strength of our Qing Dynasty, withdraw from the siege of Datong, go out of the Great Wall from Laoyingbao, where the king will meet him, and walk along the road. Go outside the pass to the Horqin tribe on the grassland and mobilize Mongolian soldiers to fight. At the same time, let Azig inform Jierhalang that he is going to retreat outside the pass." Dorgon's eyes were deep, and he said carefully: "Shanxi can't be kept, let it go Wang Huan, Xiang Hong's scheme seems to be working."
