Chapter 177 Chasing death and chasing north, filling the hanging river with water(1/4)
Dong Hu was caught off guard by the bad news, and his mind went blank.
He tried to collect his mind.
Suddenly, another sharp sound suddenly filled my ears.
He looked blankly at the panicked faces on the left and right.
His eldest son, Bazahei, seemed to be speaking impatiently to the visitor to confirm something. His face was anxious and his mouth kept opening and closing.
The followers on the left and right seemed to have lost their backbone and looked around in fear like headless flies.
The tribesmen further away didn't know what was being said orally, but they could only see someone reining in the reins, ready to move.
The night sky was falling, people were talking and horses were neighing, and there was chaos.
Zheng!
The sound of a sword being drawn out of its sheath suddenly sounded.
Everyone turned their heads subconsciously.
Under the moonlit night, a cold light shone in everyone's eyes.
What followed was hot blood, splattering on the ground, horse, body, and face.
Just hearing a click, the head slowly fell to the ground, and the headless body gushed out, then fell to the ground.
The noise was at its loudest just now, and it stopped abruptly in the blink of an eye.
at the same time.
All eyes were uniformly focused on Dong Fox.
The ringing in Dong Fox's ears has not disappeared, but it does not affect his fierce expression at all: "I am still alive, who dares to mourn for me!"
The group was speechless, leaving only the sound of the horses crowing.
"What do you call it! If your son is gone, you will be born again! If your treasure is gone, if your woman is gone, then you can rob it! We have thousands of good men, there is nothing we can't rob!"
"If you cry for me again and mess up the situation, don't blame me for stabbing you one by one."
The people on the left and right were originally panic-stricken, but now they saw that the leader still had the courage to kill people, but they cheered up and began to imitate the restraint of the horses and scolded the tribesmen.
At this time, Bazahei, the legitimate son of Dong Fox, had just finished confirming the details.
He rode up to Dong Hu and said directly: "Abu, we must beg Qingbadu'er for protection!"
Outsiders took pictures of Dong Hu's lustful power and dared not express the anxiety in his heart. These words were perfectly suitable for Bazahei, his own son.
Starting from him, everyone also took advantage of the situation and expressed their opinions one after another.
"Enxiang, Chang'ang and Wu Lusihan have betrayed Changshengtian, we can't go back."
"Eun Xiang, let's leave quickly. This must be revenge from the Han people! When daybreak, I'm afraid the Han people inside the Great Wall will also chase us out."
Dong Fox put away the blood-stained knife.
He gritted his teeth and rubbed his ears: "Bah! Qingbadu'er is also a son of a bitch."
After hearing this, the tribesmen wanted to say something, but they were afraid of being slashed with a knife, so they had to purse their lips and remain silent.
Dong Hu bared his teeth for a while before he felt the tinnitus subsided.
He cheered up and spoke again, rejecting the suggestion just now: "We have been patrolling this section of Jizhou for so long, and we haven't seen any movement of Han people leaving the fortress."
"Now that the Han people have suddenly reached behind our ditch, which other way can they take?"
When everyone heard this, they were all horrified.
Bazahei said in astonishment: "Abu is saying that Qingbadu'er betrayed us? What good will this do to them!?"
Dong Hu snorted coldly: "Wuliangha is one of the 60,000 households in Mongolia after all. Over the years, he has been swayed from side to side. Instead, he was eaten up by Anda Khan and the Great Khan, and only 60,000 tribesmen were left."
"In recent years, I decided to join the Great Khan, and Anda Khan showed his fangs like a wild dog and forced Qingbadu'er to marry his daughter to Chang'ang in an attempt to contain us."
"Benefits? His Anda Khan is now not only our Khan, but also the King of Shunyi of the Han people. If our pastoral area is captured by the Han people, will the Han people still be able to take care of themselves?"
In times of crisis, if the leader can remain calm, the whole team will inevitably be infected.
After getting over the initial panic, they began to think about their options.
"Your Excellency, Qingba'er is not a human being. Let's follow Subahai and go north. We'll stay away for a while and come back after the Han people leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was rejected by Dong Hu.
He shook his head sternly: "Hurry up, that bastard Hai Hai. As long as he finds out our details, he will definitely seize our horses and leave only us in the rear. Is it possible that you still want that bastard?"
Will the goods move in and out with us?"
"Besides, there is no dangerous terrain on the way north. Once someone is following you behind a ditch, you can't go very far if you send firearms cavalry to chase you."
The more I think about it, the more I feel that the situation is not good.
The geography of heading north is well understood by those present.
The Duoyan Sanwei themselves were driven here from the north by thousands of Chahar families.
Taining and Fuyu's two guards were completely eaten up by the Mongolian left wing precisely because they had no dangerous terrain.
Only Duoyan Guard, relying on the terrain of Yanshan Mountain, still retains its headquarters under Dong Hu.
So if you really want to flee north, you may not end well if you are caught up by the Han people.
Bazahei became more and more anxious and urged: "Abu, come up with an idea quickly!"
Dong Hu thought for a long time and was speechless for a long time.
After a while.
Dong Hu finally had an idea: "Let's go! First follow that bastard Su Bahai and get out of the sight of the Han people while it's still dark."
"Waiting for daybreak, I abandoned my tents and supplies and rode quickly!"
The two men hurriedly stopped Dong Hu, who was about to leave, and said carefully: "We need to explain how to leave, so that we can clearly explain the way out to our tribal brothers."
Dong Hu gritted his teeth: "Go find Gong Nan!"
After saying that, he turned around, greeted his subordinates and headed straight towards the direction where the commander should have left.
…
After dawn.
Twenty-three miles away from Xifengkou, Qi Jiguang looked at the materials abandoned on the ground and thought to himself that it was a pity.
If we could have gotten the news earlier, yesterday when we quickly evacuated Hai, Heishantan, Bima Taiji, and Laxi Taiji, we would have blocked Dong Hu's troops under the Great Wall. Things would have been simple - the Tatars withdrew.
But there is no discipline, let alone several movies together.
Of course, there was nothing that could be done about it. Hu Shouren could not stop a Tatar and not let him go, nor could he get the news before Dong Fox, who was outside the Great Wall.
"Qi Shuai, you are walking in this direction."
Of course, the old team of exploration traces are indispensable.
After all, there were thousands of cavalry, and they quickly figured out where they were going - so much so that at this time, the front army's three thousand light cavalry had already caught up with them, while the middle army and the rear army were only half a step behind.
Qi Jiguang looked in the direction where Dong Hu was escaping and thought quietly.
Zhang Gong, the deputy commander of Ji Town, frowned: "You didn't go north. Are you going back to Wansonggou? Do you want to decide the outcome with General Hu before we go up?"
Facing the Ming Dynasty's border troops, the Tatars' biggest advantage was that they came and went like the wind.
Not to mention that the border troops usually guard the pass, even if they are cavalry, they cannot match the marching speed of the Tatars.
If Dong Hu wanted to retake his lair and defend it against the dangers of Yanshan Mountain, he might not have a chance.
After all, there is always a time difference between the two.
Qi Jiguang shook his head: "Wansonggou is a dangerous place that is easy to defend for Dong Hu, and it is also a dangerous place for General Hu to defend."
"General Hu was able to seize it quickly, firstly because Dong Hu brought out the elite of the headquarters, and secondly because Chang'ang and Uluru Sihan cooperated."
"Now Dong Hu wants to take it back quickly, but it's impossible to do it quickly."
"At that time, if we are unable to attack for a long time, we will be flanked from both sides."
The stockade of Duoyanwei's headquarters is in Wansonggou. The saying that it is inaccessible because of the dense pine trees just shows how dangerous it is.
There is Hulu Mountain Valley in the southeast of the ditch. The valley has two mouths, which are narrow only more than 20 feet, and the middle one is wider and shaped like a gourd. The nearest mouth is called Huangya Valley, and the southeast mouth leads to Gubeikou.
There are ravines, mountains, cliffs and valleys. It can be said to be a natural danger that no one can attack with force.
Therefore, if Dong Huxu turns back, he is just seeking death.
Zhang Gong, deputy commander of Jizhen, thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea.
He speculated: "Qi Shuai! I'm afraid this guy is going to find trouble!"
"Dong Hu's brothers, Meng Ke, Meng Guji, and Mo Kechi, are all trying to annex the capital for Qing. There is nothing they can do to help."
"The only thing that can help him now is probably the only one who can help him!"
Yingke had three sons, Changang and Mangjier.
