Chapter 1000 Old Rivers and Mountains(1/3)
The Tang Dynasty was steady and crossed the Luan River.
Yue Le retreated north while fighting, and did not let Tang Jie defeat the Qing army, but instead carried the paid money and grain and population back to Xifengkou.
The Luan River passes through the Yanshan Mountains, and the natural canyon cut out becomes a channel for north-south. Xifengkou is the pass in the eastern section of the canyon. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao and Wuhuan fought here.
According to legend, some people did not return for a long time. Their father came to search for him thousands of miles away. The father and son met at the foot of the mountain, hugged each other and laughed loudly, and died of joy. Therefore, they were called "Xifengkou", and later they were gradually called Xifengkou.
Here, the high cliffs confront each other, and the terrain is dangerous. Through the valley, you can reach the Mongolian Plateau and turn east to the Daling River Basin.
As long as you enter the canyon at Xifengkou, Yue Le will no longer be afraid of Tang Festival.
On October 13, Yue Le sent the main force of the Qing army to escort Fulin and Jiergalang into Xifengkou, but he fought bloody battles and personally cut off the rear.
"Prince An, Your Majesty and Prince Zheng have entered the canyon. Prince Zheng ordered you to retreat quickly and never be damaged."
"Prince Xie Zheng is concerned, I can hold on for a while..."
Yue Le received the news and finally smiled on his bloody face.
He commanded the broken troops to retreat to Xifengkou Pass again and couldn't help but make people shout to the Chu army opposite.
"Tang Festival, there will be a date later!"
The Qing army occupied the broken Xifengkou Pass City and shouted: "Hahaha, if you have the ability to stop your grandfather, there will be a date later..."
"Grandpas will come again in the future..."
Such a shouting was a response to Tang Jie's swearing when he called for a one-on-one challenge.
The Chu army had no reaction and still attacked Xifengkou Pass slowly, probably very frustrated.
Yue Le's smile on his face was not resting, and he said to Luo Luohuan in a tone of pointing out the country: "Although the Chu army has good combat power, Tang Jie is not suitable for commanding the Chu army. It is like the head and body are inconsistent, so there is no spiritual energy when fighting..."
Soon, the spiritual energy that Yue Le wanted came...
In fact, the Qing army fought very well in this battle.
Although time was rushed, they still robbed Yongping Mansion and guarded the Luan River to resist Tang Jie's power. They also saw through Wang Xiao's intention to intercept Shanhai Pass, and finally retreated calmly into Xifengkou.
Even if Huang Taiji entered the border in the past year, this is probably the process.
Jirgalang believes that in time, the younger generation of royal children will be as brave and good at fighting as their fathers and ancestors when they grow up...
He rode his horse slowly in the canyon, feeling very relieved.
Finally leaving the gate.
I left Bumubutai in Yanjing to deal with Wang Xiao, and saw that she could hold on for five days, ha, Daqian Dynasty? It's ridiculous.
In the future, there is no need to see these hateful people, and they are not upset if they are out of sight...
Just as Jirgalang was thinking of this, the first gun sounded from the front, like a thunder thunder on the ground, interrupting his thoughts...
Wang Xiao believes that learning to fight is similar to learning martial arts, and requires you to keep learning new moves and repeatedly use them.
After fighting several battles in Guanzhong, he saw several plank roads running through the Qinling Mountains and liked this kind of combat method of blocking enemy soldiers in the canyon.
He gave this move a name called "Rats Drive into the Bellbox", and Qin Xiaozhu said it was very unpleasant.
But in short, I learned another move. Wang Xiao is now practicing diligently in order to achieve integration and integration.
Although the mountains and rivers in the world are different, they have similarities. Qinling Mountains, Taihang, Yanshan Mountains, and continuous mountains, but all rivers cut off the mountains and formed a canyon.
In Wang Xiao's opinion, the Xifengkou, Gubeikou, Dushikou of Yanshan are similar to the Ziwu Road, Chencang Road and Baoxi Road of Qinling Mountains, although not that dangerous.
You want to walk from Xifengkou, okay, I will go around from Gubeikou to the west first.
‘Build a plank road openly and cross Chencang secretly’ is a way of playing. ‘You walk on the plank road, I walk on Chencang, and go around you to block you’ is another way of playing.
Of course, soldiers are indefinitely in power and water is indefinitely in shape. This is just one of the hundreds of plans made by Wang Xiao.
It just happened that the situation was very suitable for this plan.
Whether it is Jiergalang, he goes to Shanhaiguan, Dushikou, or even goes to sea from Tianjin, or even goes to Shanxi to go to Mongolia in the south of the desert... Wang Xiao has considered it.
Wang Xiao did not think that he was invincible in the world because of Huang Taiji and Dorgon's death.
He regarded Jirgalang and Yue Le as great opponents, attached enough importance to it, and made strategic arrangements seriously and carefully.
He also gave them enough face and personally led his troops to chase them.
Jirgalang felt despair.
He really didn't expect Wang Xiao to come to block him in person.
The news he received was that Wang Xiao was still near Gu'an County and believed that Wang Xiao would directly attack Yanjing.
The Northern Expedition? Shouldn’t it be to recover the capital?
Moreover, it was enough to have Tang Jie attack the Qing army. We tried our best to defend Tang Jie's offensive.
Why do you need this...
Just when Jirgalang thought he had withdrawn from the pass safely, the flags in front of him were shaking and the arrows were bounced like rain.
As soon as Wang Xiao's banner was raised, the Qing army was terrified.
The Chu army's grenades were thrown around, and quickly caused a large number of casualties to the Qing army in this narrow and long canyon.
Amid the explosion, Jirgalang quickly sent his personal guards to protect Fulin's imperial guards and turned south.
"Your Majesty, let Yue Le lead you to break through... Wang Xiao personally led his troops to stop him from the north, and he couldn't rush over. There is still a glimmer of life in the Tang Jie in the south."
Jiergalang spoke quickly and said, "After breaking through, you will no longer have to go to Shanhaiguan. Wang Xiao will send a navy to intercept..."
"Uncle Emperor, what about you?"
"I was raised by the Khan, trusted by the late emperor, and trusted by the emperor, and enjoyed all the kindness of the three dynasties. Today I can only repay my death."
Fulin was so heartbroken that he cried, "Uncle Emperor... let me go with you."
Jiergalang shook his head and solemnly explained: "I hope the emperor will reuse and trust the children of the royal family in the future so that they will never abandon the old customs of Manchuria... Remember, following the customs of Han is a sign of the destruction of the country."
This was his last advice, and after that, Fulin's car was turned back.
Fulin looked back and tears fell like rain.
He held the car frame and shouted, "Uncle Emperor, I shouldn't blame you for your mistake..."
Jirgalang did not look back.
He had already begun to regret that Haoge had not been appointed as the emperor. If Haoge was established at that time, he might not have died in the battle of entering the pass. The Qing Dynasty also had a strong adult monarch.
Looking back, Fulin's advantage is that he has a mother from Korqin.
Nowadays, Fulin has no advantage.
But at this point, Jiergalang had no way back. The person he was loyal to was not Fulin, but Huang Taiji and Aisin Gioro.
Bumubutai dared to betray Aisin Gioro, even if she was the emperor's mother, Jirgalang would design to get rid of her.
Wang Xiao wanted to destroy Aisin Gioro, even if he seemed invincible, Jirgalang would fight desperately.
...
In recent years, Jirgalang's position seems to be swaying, and he seems not strong when facing Daishan, Dorgon, Bumubutai and others.
Even though his status became more and more noble, he never thought of replacing the emperor.
This gives people a feeling of being weak and easy to bully.
But he also followed Nurhaci from a young age to fight in the north and was awarded titles based on his military merits.
Since the rise of the Later Jin Dynasty, the eight major Beile and the four major princes have all had his place.
He is the only person in the Aisila Jue family who is not a direct descendant of the emperor but can be named a prince with an iron hat.
In this desperate situation, Jirgalang welcomed Wang Xiao's arrogant army without any fear...
The Chu army marched in a hurry, but did not bring cannons, but only some grenades. However, Wang Xiao ordered the soldiers to make a batch of simple catapults.
Although the accuracy of the catapult is not high, the accuracy is no longer important in this canyon.
At this time, Qin Xuance commanded in front of the formation, thinking of Wang Xiao's repeated instructions
"Jirgalang is not inferior to Dorgon's powerful general. We must act cautiously when we beat him..."
Since he saw that it was Jirgalang who was fighting in person, Qin Xuance ordered the soldiers to continue bombarding Jirgalang's flag.
The explosions in the entire valley did not stop for a long time.
This Qing army, the direct lineage of the royal family, was indeed a bloody and brave army. In an unfavorable terrain, it did not quickly disintegrate in the face of the fierce offensive of the Chu army.
"It's really amazing." Qin Xuance frowned and shouted: "Throw all the grenades out!"
...
Jirgalang became increasingly desperate.
Such terrain and such ambush, even if you have to use such firepower to hit me?
He had no choice but to command the Qing army to try to attack the mountainside and destroy the Chu army's catapult cart. When he looked down, he saw a grenade landing at his feet.
He smiled miserably.
