Chapter 12 Arrive in the Vanguard
Ma Yuanli kept muttering. Even if he took his last breath, Man Bing looked at him and felt that he was saying such things. The sentence "Kill the Tartars" was stirring in their hearts, making them feel extremely scared. After all his efforts, he could not let it go.
At this time, all the Qing soldiers were afraid. One of them and both of them knelt down. They were paying respect to Ma Yuanli. Although they used to scold Ma Yuanli and others as thieves, and in the battle with the Qing Dynasty, these thieves really did not have much ability, at this moment, they showed that they had a hero, washed away their previous shame and won respect.
When Hong Chengchou came here, he looked at Ma Yuanli's body and a group of fallen soldiers of the original Daxi Army. He sighed and said, "I can't imagine it, I can't imagine it! When I fought with you before, although you were strong, you did not show this fearless spirit of looking at death! Is this what Zhang Biwu inspired your potential?"
Hong Chengchou sighed, thinking in his heart: "I betrayed the nation and the family because I was afraid of death. I betrayed the nation and the family. I thought that in order to help the Qing Dynasty win the world, I would also become the founding father of the founding country and thus became famous in history. But now... did I really do something wrong? Why did I think it would be the result now? If it were not for Zhang Biwu, the Qing Dynasty would have won the world! I have come to this point and I can only continue to walk on one end! There will never be a way back for me! I hope that the strategy can achieve the function and defeat Zhang Biwu, thus protecting Liaodong, and wait for the time to come!" Hong Chengchou had already predicted that the defeat of the Qing Dynasty was inevitable. It was really difficult to turn the world!
Dorgon looked at Ma Yuanli's body. He had more respect for Ma Yuanli, but he would also let someone take off Ma Yuanli's head. Of course, the heads of these fallen soldiers should also be cut off! He first let someone keep them with lime to prevent corruption. He knew that Zhang Biwu would come soon and would give Zhang Biwu a big gift at that time.
Dorgon was smiling sinisterly, because if he didn't give this gift, he would not be able to cause Zhang Biwu's attack and his plan would be difficult to implement.
There was news that Hao Yaoqi was trapped in Songshan and Ma Yuanli was killed. Li Yan had already sent someone to report Zhang Biwu to Zhang Biwu, and hoped that Zhang Biwu would arrive soon.
Zhang Biwu has already divided his troops into three groups. He has been worried in his heart, afraid that something will happen.
The envoy sent by Li Yan came. Zhang Biwu looked at him and waited for his report, knowing that something important must have happened to the Pioneer Army.
The envoy reported to Zhang Biwu: "King Qi. It's not good! The vanguard officers Hao Yaoqi and Ma Yuanli were provoked by the Qing army, so Hao Yaoqi killed him and occupied Songshan in one fell swoop. However, he did not expect that the Qing army would quickly surround Songshan, and Ma Yuanli ordered his army to kill him. As a result, he was defeated by the Qing army and Ma Yuanli was also killed!"
"What!" Zhang Biwu was shocked when he heard this. He stood up, not to mention how angry he was!
Hao Yaoqi and Ma Yuanli. I used to worry that something might happen to them, but now isn't it? Something has happened! It's said that Hao Yaoqi is irritable and difficult to persuade him. But no matter how Ma Yuanli said, he was also a clever person. Why did he go there just by saying that, and he was killed in vain? Ma Yuanli is smart, why should he do things now?
The more you fear, the more you will be! No matter what, things have come to this point and cannot be changed.
What Zhang Biwu was afraid of was that the entire army knew that the vanguard army was defeated and even the general was killed, which would affect morale!
The envoy reported to Zhang Biwu in detail about the incident when Ma Yuanli died and their original works.
After Zhang Biwu heard this, all his anger was thrown out of the sky. If Ma Yuanli and others died so heroically, they would be unreasonable to blame them. Moreover, their deaths could inspire the soldiers to move forward bravely! If they could not blame them, they would also have to praise their bravery and fearlessness.
Zhang Biwu looked at the envoy and asked, "What's the situation?" The envoy replied, "Mr. Li said that, and he ordered the troops to be kept in motion for the time being. If there was no order from the King of Qi, they would never take a step forward! Please ask the King of Qi to decide!"
Indeed, this should be the case now. Zhang Biwu heard their report and knew that Li Yan's actions were to avoid the defeat of the vanguard army.
He nodded and said, "I will immediately choose 10,000 light cavalry and hurry to Songjin area, and the main army will set off! Let's go to Songjin together!"
Zhang Biwu couldn't sit still anymore. He had to rush to the vanguard army first and discuss with them how to rescue Hao Yaoqi.
When Zhang Biwu personally led 10,000 light cavalry to the front line, the scout immediately returned the news to Dorgon. When Dorgon heard this, he was so happy that he was almost crazy!
He said to Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng: "Two gentlemen, our trick has been half successful! Haha! Zhang Biwu is really going to come to the Pioneer Army! He is going to be trapped! We must prepare a gift to Zhang Biwu! Otherwise, how could he stay in the Pioneer Army? Hehe!"
Fan Wencheng was very happy. He thought they should be able to win this battle. But Hong Chengchou had another attitude. Hong Chengchou was worried all the time, but he couldn't tell his worries.
When he was back, what gift would Dorgon give Zhang Biwu? Of course, he had to say that Zhang Biwu rushed to the vanguard army first. Huang Degong and Li Yan had met Zhang Biwu. Zhang Biwu looked at them and asked, "How is the matter?"
Huang Degong said with a lot of blame: "I can't control Hao Yaoqi and the others! As a result of this great defeat, please punish me by King Qi!"
Zhang Biwu waved his hand and said, "Okay! No need to say that! I just want to know how Hao Yaoqi is going? Can he save him?"
Li Yan replied: "The situation is not optimistic! Because Hao Yaoqi doesn't have much food, they have been besieged for five days now! If they continue to besieged like this, they will die without food or drinking!"
Zhang Biwu frowned. The situation for Hao Yaoqi and others was critical. It would be impossible not to rescue him! When the main army arrived, Hao Yaoqi and others would die.
Now what Zhang Biwu is thinking about is how to save them? When Zhang Biwu saved Cao Bianjiao in the past, he suddenly broke through to the foot of Songshan Mountain to rescue Cao Bianjiao. It was a pity that Hong Chengchou could not be rescued, otherwise the Qing Dynasty would not have such a guide, and the situation would be very different.
It won’t work if you use the old tricks, you have to think about other plans. But what method should you use? It’s a headache when you think of this.
At this moment, someone came outside to report that Dorgon sent someone to give gifts to Zhang Biwu. He knew that Zhang Biwu had arrived in the vanguard army. Zhang Biwu was stunned. The news of Dorgon came so quickly!
Gift? It will definitely not be a good gift! Maybe it is almost the same as something provocative.
Everyone looked at Zhang Biwu and signaled whether they wanted to see what they were given.
Of course, Zhang Biwu wanted to see it. No matter what he would see, he was mentally prepared. They followed him and opened it and everyone was shocked!
After shock, there was anger! Everyone was out of anger! How could it not be popular? Because after they saw the cloth on the car lifted up, this was the body of their comrades-in-arms. The heads were placed on the carriage. The most conspicuous one was Ma Yuanli's head. From this we can see that this was the naked provocation of the enemy "ciluo"! It was a kind of insult!
Huang Degong couldn't stand it anymore, and he shouted: "Lord, please let me lead my troops to the battle! I can't stand it! How can I bear it!"
Not only did he say this, Cao Bianjiao also stood up, and he shouted: "King Qi, please lead my troops to attack! I want to become my place of victory here!" Cao Bianjiao was very persistent in wanting to transform into his place of victory at Songjin, because he used to be trapped in Songjin with Hong Chengchou's troops.
There were two generals' requests, and naturally the others also followed suit, and they all wanted to send troops to destroy the enemy.
They even asked to rescue Hao Yaoqi. If Hao Yaoqi's soldiers were trapped in Songshan, if they were too late, Hao Yaoqi and his subordinates would die without a place to die.
Just as Zhang Biwu was pondering, there were bursts of shouts of killing, which was the Qing army's attack on Songshan.
Cao Bianjiao said, "Don't hesitate anymore! Please let me send troops!" He looked impatient! He seemed to be able to see the situation where he and Hong Chengchou were surrounded by Songshan.
Seeing that Zhang Biwu had not spoken yet, Cao Bianjiao continued: "King of Qi! I know that I was in Songshan. If it weren't for you, I would not have had my life! Now I have the opportunity to wash away my shame in Songshan Land! Of course I want to wash away my clothes! Please give me a chance! Let me send troops!"
Zhang Biwu glanced at Cao Bianjiao, and he frowned. Dorgon was always forcing him to fight. He was somewhat worried. If he went to fight, he might be defeated!
Li Yan saw the matter very clearly. He said: "King of Qi, I think there are two reasons for the Qing Dynasty to do this. One is to let us send troops to ambush us. This is why the King of Qi pondered! Second, if we don't send troops, we will appear to be timid. The soldiers of our army will become timid, which will have an adverse impact on your reputation! After all, Hao Yaoqi is still waiting for us to save us day and night! We will not save us when we die, how will the other brothers think?"
This is what it means to the hearts of many people. Of course they want to save them, especially Huang Degong, because he is not strong and he has to wait for Zhang Biwu to arrive after hearing this.
