Chapter 9 Stop the Pursuit
Hao Yaoqi drove the horse with his belly, and his front team had already left Huanxiling.
He also sent a scout to investigate, but of course he did not explore carefully, because in Hao Yaoqi's mind, he believed that this place was still their sphere of influence and that there would be no enemy troops coming, but negligence caused serious consequences.
The enemy army arrived in large numbers and gave Hao Yaoqi a sudden attack. It was obvious that Hao Yaoqi and his soldiers were stunned. The enemy was even more angry and jumped up and down.
He wanted to eliminate the Tartars, but he didn't expect that the Tartars came here to invite them to attack them. They were still at their doorstep. It was really intolerable! If they didn't defeat them, they would have to be worthy of face in the future? Besides, they suffered a great humiliation in the first battle just now, which is unbearable no matter how hard it is!
The relative general around him said to Hao Yaoqi: "Not good! Master, the enemy has attacked us! Please go back quickly! Let's fight to the death to block the enemy!"
Hao Yaoqi was stunned. It was said that outside Shanhaiguan or within their sphere of influence, why did the Qing army come just after they came? They didn't notice it! No wonder! Hao Yaoqi and others were too careless. Although they sent a scout, they didn't reconnaissance very carefully! Now that the enemy has suddenly arrived, aren't you stunned?
Some people also said, "Yes! Lord General, please leave quickly! The closed door of Shanhaiguan is too small. Even if our reinforcements want to arrive, they cannot arrive in an instant! Please avoid it temporarily!"
Hao Yaoqi threw his helmet to the ground in anger and shouted: "What is my nickname of Hao Yongzhong? Hao Yaoqi! When did he charge in the battle? I wasn't the one who rushed in front? How could I ever fall behind? Kids! Listen! We have been ordered by the King of Qi to act as a vanguard. Whenever we encounter enemies, we should fight them to the end! Even if I am buried here today, I will not take a step back!"
Hao Yaoqi said, and even raised a long spear. He was waiting for the enemy to come. With Hao Yaoqi's rise, the others were also cheering up. They wanted to fight to the death. After all, these are old subordinates who have followed Hao Yaoqi for many years. They are also people who survived from the knife. They have never seen any storms? At worst, they can die! They really don't retreat!
In this way, a wall of iron was consolidated in front of Hao Yaoqi, and no matter how the other party conflicted, it would be impossible to make a conflict.
The other party was very smart. They obtained Hao Yaoqi's big banner under the sudden attack. It was a great achievement. Without saying much, they left after returning.
Hao Yaoqi's calmness also calmed the entire army. They found that the enemy was not large, at most one thousand cavalry, but these thousand cavalry were extremely elite and were also familiar with the terrain.
Those who had fought with the Qing Dynasty many times could certainly recognize where these were. These were all Bayala soldiers and were the most elite troops of the Qing Dynasty. When Dorgon led his troops into the pass to assist Wu Sangui, they stationed in the Huanxiling area, so they were familiar with the terrain here.
No wonder! One thousand people dare to appear at the door of the enemy's house. They are the most elite!
Hao Yaoqi became angry, and he immediately wanted to lead the entire army to chase and kill a thousand Bayala soldiers. As long as the Bayala soldiers were eliminated, the Qing Dynasty would be scattered, and the shame just now could be washed away.
When Hao Yaoqi and others were attacked, Pegasus reported to Li Yan. When Li Yan heard this, he felt nervous. He knew that there would be no large army in the Qing Dynasty. There must be not many enemy soldiers near Huanxi Ridge, but they could only be the elite of the Qing army.
It is impossible for them to destroy Hao Yaoqi, but one thing is that if they are a trick to lure the enemy, attract Hao Yaoqi and others, set up an ambush to gather and annihilate, or defeat Hao Yaoqi's crowd, that would be bad!
Hao Yaoqi and others were defeated. The army, which was just about to send troops, was a big blow. The army was not good, and no one wanted to suffer such setbacks! But now it seems that they are about to suffer such misfortune.
Li Yan rushed there by slapping the horse. He had to persuade Hao Yaoqi to stop him and not let Hao Yaoqi do anything stupid.
Li Yan walked all the way and saw the soldiers coming out of seclusion. The previous general shouted that someone would give in. Others knew that it was a big man to come out of seclusion, so of course he took the initiative to give in to Li Yan to pass.
Li Yan ran all the way, not caring about anything. He looked ahead. Fortunately, his mount was a fast horse. If it were a mortal horse, it would be difficult to catch up with Hao Yaoqi Army, who was also galloping.
Li Yan has reached the end of Hao Yaoqi Army, and he shouted: "Stop! Stop the whole army! Stop chasing me!"
When the people behind saw him, some of them didn’t know Li Yan. After all, many of the soldiers were newly added.
Only some veterans and generals could recognize Li Yan. They were all surprised. Why did Military Advisor Li chase him? When they knew they wanted to stop chasing, they did not dare to neglect them and wanted to chase Hao Yaoqi to warn Hao Yaoqi not to pursue him again. After all, this was the order of Military Advisor Li, how could they not obey?
Starting from behind, the voice was conveyed: "Stop chasing!" It was uploaded from behind. Hao Yaoqi heard it and was stunned. He looked into the distance, not understanding: "Stop chasing? Why stop chasing? Who gave the order?"
No matter how questioned he was, Hao Yaoqi still ordered not to pursue him. He was afraid that something would happen. Since the Qing Dynasty dared to boldly send a thousand people to ambush at Huanxi Ridge outside Shanhaiguan, would there be any mistakes inside the pass? If this is the case, the situation will be very bad! Beware of it!
Waiting for it, it was Li Yan. Li Yan gasped heavily. He came over to persuade Hao Yaoqi to stop chasing Hao Yaoqi.
Both of them are old friends of Dashunjun. Maybe Hao Yaoqi doesn't want to listen to other people's words, but Li Yan still has to listen to them.
No matter how dissatisfied Hao Yaoqi was, he had to order the entire army to camp and prevent them from happening in case of an enemy attack.
Li Yan sent someone to inquire about the situation, and he obtained the latest news. The Qing army indeed laid a downing army in front of him. Just when the reckless Hao Yaoqi rushed over, he annihilated Hao Yaoqi! Fortunately, Li Yan was too late, otherwise everything would be too late.
However, as soon as the vanguard army left Shanhaiguan, the enemy attacked. He felt that the more unhappy he was, the more unhappy he was.
Reported to Zhang Biwu. When Zhang Biwu heard this, he was very unhappy, but he knew that Hao Yaoqi could not be blamed. How could the enemy boldly send a army? Many people could not expect it! Why blame Hao Yaoqi?
Zhang Biwu just sent someone to encourage Hao Yaoqi and others, and said that temporary setbacks were nothing, and they could just ask the enemy for repaid on the battlefield. At the same time, Zhang Biwu also gave rewards, and he wanted to let them know their shame and advance, so as to fight the enemy bravely.
Of course, Zhang Biwu had to go to the war in person. He only left Gu Yanwu and others, and said that there was something important to go to Qin Huaiyu to discuss. After all, the day of the war was approaching, and for Hao Yaoqi and others who suffered setbacks, he certainly knew that he had to send troops as soon as possible.
The combat strategy originally planned was to arrive in the Songjin area first. After all, most of the area was uninhabited. Since Wu Sangui took the people away, there have been fewer people here. Although they returned later, there were not many people who could come back. Another point is that the Ming army and the Qing army have been fighting here for many years, so how many people can there be here?
Naturally, the population is sparse, and both sides regard this place as a vacuum zone. Therefore, the place from Shanhaiguan to Songjin is uninhabited for thousands of miles, and there is no need to fight for the war here.
So the victory of the vanguard army arrived, and they had already entered the city of Ningyuan and would soon recover Ningyuan.
Zhang Biwu didn't like this kind of arrogant attitude, after all, I don't know what else the Qing army would do! Moreover, his army had not yet been dispatched, so he didn't want to make any mistakes.
Zhang Biwu sent an envoy to persuade them not to make a rash move, in case something unexpected happened!
At this time, Zhang Biwu felt a little regretful. Why did he choose Hao Yaoqi and others as the vanguard? If they fail and shake their morale, this battle to destroy the Qing Dynasty would add variables.
Zhang Biwu didn't dare to do anything. He stood up and was about to go to the war. Now he wanted to go to his wife and children and say goodbye to them, because in the few days before the war, Zhang Biwu would move to the military camp to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.
Zhang Biwu arrived at Qin Huaiyu, and Delis was here too! Li Xiangjun was there too. Zhang Biwu and Li Xiangjun had a three-year agreement before, but now Li Xiangjun is Zhang Biwu's concubine.
Li Xiangjun was not as reluctant as Delis and Qin Huaiyu. Although she had just been with Zhang Biwu, she still wanted in her heart that Zhang Biwu could destroy the Qing Dynasty and completely end this great harm.
Zhang Biwu went to Delis. Delis had an objection to Zhang Biwuna Li Xiangjun before, but did he have to compromise in the end? What can I do?
Even though she was annoyed, when Zhang Biwu was about to stay away from her family and went to the battlefield in person, she still didn't want to let Zhang Biwu go. So what if she didn't want to? She had to leave? In the end, she just sighed a long time and looked resentful.
Of course Zhang Biwu knew, and he said, "Wow! Such a powerful Delis will also be afraid! He won't think he is not charming, I won't come back when I arrive in Liaodong, right? Haha! Isn't the beautiful and confident Delis afraid of nothing?"
Delis rolled up his sleeves, looked like a shrew, and said, "You dare!" This caused Zhang Biwu to laugh, and he raised his thumb and said, "Okay! This is you! Delis!"
Delis glared at her phoenix eyes and said, "Okay! Play with me! You haven't died!" After saying that, she looked like a tiger when she put her hands on her waist.
