Chapter 492
Qingshan Pass was named after the Daqingshan Mountains on both sides of the pass. During the Wanli period, Qi Jiguang, the governor of Ji Liao, fought twice with the Mongolian Duoyan tribe here, and then built the Qingshan Pass Great Wall on the original basis to resist the invasion of nomadic peoples.
According to Qingshan Pass's momentum of "one man is the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open", even if Yuetuo had more than 30,000 elite soldiers, it would be difficult for Yuetuo to conquer the city in the short term. However, Wu Guojun led his troops to escape, and the army's spirit was shaken, so Yuetuo got a bargain and captured Qingshan Pass within five days.
South of Qingshan Pass, there are endless plains, suitable for cavalry to gallop. After Yuetuo broke through Qingshan Pass, it was like a flood that had accumulated for many years and found a catharsis outlet. It was quite a bit high for birds to fly, and the sea was wide and fish jumped. The morale of the soldiers suddenly increased, holding up battle knives and crossing bows and arrows, wantonly trampling on the Ming Dynasty.
Yue Tuo divided his subordinates into four routes, along Qian'an, Lulong and Luan County, heading south and heading west; heading to Fengrun and Yutian; he himself led the main force, and went straight to Tongzhou through Zunhua. Except for the 10,000 troops led by Yue Tuo, the remaining troops ranged from three to six thousand troops, and wanted to expand the scope of plunder and plunder population, livestock and food.
Yue Tuo's purpose was very clear, which was to attack in a split and join forces, and finally merged with the Western Army led by Dorgon in Tongzhou.
As a result, the entire east of the capital suffered a great disaster. He groaned in pain under the iron hooves of the Tartars, praying day and night to the king's army to attack the thief.
The village in Taohuayu Village on the southern foot of Panshan is not large, with only more than a hundred households and a population of four or five hundred. In the second, seven or nine years of Chongzhen, when the Qing Tartars plundered the surrounding areas of the capital, Taohuayu could not be avoided, and the village was robbed.
However, Taohuayu Village is located at the foot of the mountain. Once the Tartars arrive, the villagers will drill into the mountains. Although livestock and food cannot be saved, most people can escape their lives and survive until now.
The good luck of Taohuayu Village finally ended here. This time, I don’t know if it was too late to learn the news or the Tartars came too fast, but when the copper bell at the entrance of the village just rang, the panicked villagers had only time to jump out of the house and shouted: “The Tartars are here…The Tartars are here…” and they could already vaguely hear the rumbling sound of iron hooves.
The village was immediately in chaos. The villagers were frightened, carrying food, holding children, pulling livestock, and running to the north desperately. For a moment, a small path of sheep was filled with people and livestock, and they were in chaos. The screams of driving away livestock, the cry of children, and the panic screams of women were mixed together, and the scene of the doomsday approaching.
"Ka...da..."
Just as the villagers were in chaos, more than ten cavalry were wearing heavy armor, bent their bows and arrows, galloped, and ran to the villagers for more than twenty steps, and suddenly grabbed the reins.
The war horse neighed, tilted its head impatiently, circled around, and stopped moving forward. The war horse's hooves were uneasy and scraped up balls of sand and soil.
The cavalry laughed, held bows and arrows freely, pointed the arrow at the villagers and shouted: "Everyone will wait, return to the village immediately. If there are any rebels, kill them on the spot. A good novel: The latest chapter of the battle to dominate the world!"
The villagers were shocked and fled in all directions.
The cavalry showed a trace of ridicule with contempt, slowly put down their bows and arrows, pulled out the saber from their waists, shouting: "Helping!" Kicking the horse's belly, holding the saber high, and chasing the villagers running around.
A man stumbled and ran the fastest, and was about to disappear his landblock in a blink of an eye. Unexpectedly, he was caught by a cavalry. After a slash, blood splattered everywhere. The man rolled to the ground, but his head flew ten steps away, rolling on the hillside non-stop.
"Stop...stop..."
The cavalrymen were slashing and yelling at the same time. The bloody massacre finally scared the villagers. The villagers looked at the sabers with cold light and stopped running, standing there tremblingly.
A young and beautiful mother, her legs trembled, couldn't help but hug the crying child tighter into her arms, covering the child's mouth with one hand. The child didn't know if he was hungry or cold, and cried non-stop. Even though the mother pressed her mouth, her calf kept kicking her calves and making a whimpering sound.
The children's crying finally attracted the attention of the Tartars. The Tartars' eyes lit up, and their eyes were staring at the mother's pretty face, and they could no longer move their lustful eyes.
A Tartar smiled lewdly and was about to step forward to pull the woman out, but was pulled by another Tartar. The Tartar smiled sinisterly and said, "Stay for a while and let me practice my shooting skills first!"
After saying that, the Tartar took out his bow, bent his bow and took an arrow, and made it all in one go. As the bowstrings were released, the sound of breaking through the air suddenly came out, and the arrows rushed straight towards the woman.
"puff……"
Without even blinking, the arrow hit the left side of the child's head, and blood splattered everywhere. Before the child could even snort, he suddenly stopped crying, his head drooped, and died in his mother's arms. The blood smeared the mother's body.
The Tartars laughed and all praised: "Good arrow technique...good arrow technique..."
The woman was startled and when she realized that the child had been shot to death by the Tartars, she let out a shrill cry: "Li'er..."
The villagers were so scared that they were trembling. They couldn't bear to look at the trembling arrows and the blood-flowing children. They all lowered their heads, clenched their fists, and showed hatred eyes in their eyes.
The woman screamed for a moment and slowly placed the child on the ground. Her eyes were like ghosts, staring at the archery Tartars. She suddenly jumped up, grabbed a hatchet, and rushed towards the Tartars. A sharp voice came: "I'll fight with you..."
Stimulated by the woman, several bloody men handed each other a look, holding hoes, holding machetes, following the woman's pace, and rushed towards the Tartar cavalry.
The Taurus cavalry did not take the man who rushed out at all. After a few arrows, they shot the men to the ground. They looked at the woman who rushed to the front with a lewd smile. A Tartar kicked the horse off the belly, and the horse galloped. The Tartar turned sideways, picked up the woman's waist with one hand and held the woman's wrist with the other. The woman couldn't bear it, and the hatchet on the hand fell on the sand. The woman opened her mouth and bit the wrist. The Tartar reacted very quickly, slapped her and directly slapped the woman on the back of the head, slapped the woman fainted.
The Tartars placed the woman horizontally on the horse's back, kneading the woman freely, and burst out with an unscrupulous lewd smile. The Tartars were still not satisfied, and after a tearing, they tore the woman's top apart, revealing the woman's white breasts.
The Tartars were envious and drooling from the corners of their mouths flowed out.
The Tartar stopped further and ordered loudly: "Tie everyone's arms together, string them together, take away all the livestock and food, and the latest chapter of the Planting Ancestor!"
Immediately, there was another killing and whipping. The villagers of Taohuayu were either killed or insulted. Even those who could escape their lives were strung together. Under the threat of the Tartar swords and guns, they rushed to Tongzhou...
As for the woman, someone discovered three days later that she was dead in the wilderness, with her lower body covered in blood and blood...
The lively people moaned in pain under the iron hooves of the Tartars, and Zhu Youjian in the Forbidden City fell into madness.
The Qing Tartars invaded and quickly broke through Qingshan Pass, which was a fatal blow to Zhu Youjian. From the second year of Chongzhen to the present, it took eight years to finally suppress the bandits and survived. Zhu Youjian was having a dream of revival, but he didn't expect that this dream would be shattered by the Tartars.
Zhu Youjian was an impatient lord. He immediately called Yang Sichang to the Ganqing Palace and cursed him, which made Yang Sichang tremble and kowtow continuously. Finally, Zhu Youjian's face turned red and panting, and said sternly: "Immediately, I want to mobilize the troops on three sides to serve the king and expel the Tartars!"
Yang Sichang leaned on the ground, neither raising his head nor touching his face.
Seeing this, Zhu Youjian was furious and grabbed a teacup on the desk and threw it straight towards Yang Sichang. At least, Zhu Youjian was slightly tilted, and the teacup did not hit Yang Sichang's head, but fell on Yang Sichang's leg, and then bounced to the ground and smashed it.
Zhu Youjian shouted, "Do you dare to resist the order?"
Yang Sichang still did not look up, but said stubbornly: "I dare not! I just ask the emperor to think twice. If the three sides are stable, the Tartars will not dare to attack the capital at will, and the capital will be as stable as a rock. If the troops on the three sides are mobilized to serve the king and decide the battle with the Tartars, it would be a pleasure to win. If it is defeated, the Tartars will not only concentrate their troops to attack the capital, but may also mobilize more troops from Liaodong to break into the three sides. At that time, the three sides will be unable to resist, and the Ming Dynasty will suffer the disaster of destroying the country!"
Yang Sichang's words finally calmed down Zhu Youjian. Following Yang Sichang's thoughts, he felt that Yang Sichang was right. Zhu Youjian was extremely unwilling to accept it and was silent for a while before he said angrily: "Can I just watch the people suffer and be ravaged by the Tartars?"
Yang Sichang looked pale and hesitated: "This..."
When Zhu Youjian saw that Yang Sichang could not speak, he became even more angry and shouted: "Let me wait for the Tartars to withdraw my troops. Do I have the attitude to see my ancestors?"
Yang Sichang felt very guilty. Before entering the palace, Yang Sichang discussed with Gao Qiqian overnight and determined that the troops on the three sides should not be used easily, and that the Tartars were enough to plunder, so they naturally retreated to the north and endured temporary humiliation to seek long-term benefits.
At that time, Gao Qiqian also suggested calling on the soldiers and horses of the world to support the king. However, Yang Sichang believed that once the king was promoted, the disaster relief money and food that the court had finally accumulated would be consumed. Shaanxi and Henan, which were hungry, would not get disaster relief money and food, and the bandits would inevitably further plunder and ruin the great situation that they finally found was completely defeated.
Besides, Li Zicheng from Shaanxi is already at a loss. Once the troops are transferred, wouldn’t it give Li Zicheng a chance to breathe?
Now Zhu Youjian could not calm his anger. Yang Sichang regretted it like something. Why did he forget the emperor's face at the beginning?
In desperation, Yang Sichang gritted his teeth and said, "The front line of Xuanda and the defense is tight, so the Governor of Xuanda Lu Xiangsheng can lead a unit to serve the king."
