Chapter 28 Dorgon kills

"The Later Jin army has finally arrived. What a powerful army!" Li Xin stood on the city wall, looking at the black area in the distance. It was the situation where the army was dispatched. Obviously, at this time, only one force could be dispatched, that is, the Later Jin. The dispatch of troops from the Later Jin was expected, but it was unexpected that it could arrive so soon.

"There are still some arrow bushes that have not been completed yet." He Kegang stood beside him and glanced around, with a solemn look on his face. In the morning, the joy of him and Li Xin chasing Oboi and others disappeared without a trace. The speed of the Later Jin army came was too fast, so fast that the city could not react.

"It's useless to say this at this time." Li Xin also frowned. Leaving Dalinghe City was an internal plan, but when to leave Dalinghe City is a key issue. It cannot be too early, but it must not be too late. If it is too early, it is easy to be said to be running away by Zu Dashou. A letter was submitted to the governor's office. Li Xin and Li Xin's relatives would be unable to move in the Central Plains. If it is too late, then it may be trapped by the army of the Later Jin Dynasty and they will not be able to leave at that time.

"Wait until you go down to challenge, and then take the opportunity to leave!" He Kegang said softly in his ear.

"What? Do you think you can leave now?" Li Xin glanced around, but saw that Zu Dashou and others looked at the distance with gloomy faces, while Zu Zerun and others looked carelessly. However, if you look closely, you can still see the cold light of their eyes, clearly looking at themselves.

"Li Xin, you are a scholar and are also a bit wise. Tell me, what should we do now?" At this time, Zu Dashou suddenly spoke.

"The general is the leader of a town. He is experienced in the battle against the Donglu, far above Li Xin. Li Xin is just a scholar. How can he have any wisdom?" Li Xin shook his head gently.

"Scholar? Can scholars have martial arts skills? When will scholars be able to leap on the battlefield?" Zu Dashou turned around and looked at Li Xin with a smile and said, "Although you are a scholar, you are definitely not a simple scholar. You are so powerful that you may not even be as good as you in the battlefield. Although the generals around you have a calm face, they are extremely careful in their hearts. Only you, not only have a calm face, but also a calm eye. This can only be said that you are not afraid of these Eastern Cavalrymen. Tell me, what should we do now?"

"Master-in-chief, you can also look down on him. At this time, facing the Donglu army, what else can you do besides being strictly guarded and defended?" Zu Zerun said dissatisfiedly.

"If I say that at this time, we should lead the army out of Daling River. What do you think?" Li Xin said with his eyes wide open and he looked at Zu Dashou.

"Exit the Daling River?" Not only Zu Dashou, but also others' expressions also changed. He looked at Li Xin with an idiot's eyes. Can the Daling River be lost? Not to mention that the Daling River was exhausted from the Ming Dynasty to build it, how could it be lost? What's more, the cavalry of the Eastern Lu Army is very powerful. At this time, it will still be caught up by the Later Jin army. How many troops will be left after a fight?

"People have land, people have lost land. Even if we have dangerous places like Dalinghe City, what if the Donglu army sieges this Dalinghe City?" Li Xin said disdainfully: "But if we can give in to Dalinghe City, then our situation will be reversed. The Donglu army can only enter the city, so it will be replaced by us, and we will attack, use cavalry to harass the opponent's food route and fight a cavalry battle with the opponent."

"Hmph, my Dalinghe City is backed by Jinzhou, how could they let them surround me? Even if we let the other party do this, I'm afraid the Donglu wouldn't be so brave!" Zu Zehong said disdainfully: "After all, the scholars have the superficial opinions and do not understand military strategies. Once the Donglu really has the courage to surround Dalinghe City like this, then, we are inside and Sun's army is outside, and we are in the inside and outside, which is enough to destroy these Donglu army." Everyone around nodded when they heard this, obviously all agreed with Zu Zerun's words.

Li Xin shook his head. Although Zu Zehong's words made some sense, Dalinghe City was backed by Jinzhou, and there was a steady supply of food and grass on Songshan. Standing in the city, it was OK to fight a war of attrition with the other party. Unfortunately, Zu Dashou and others obviously underestimated Huang Taiji's courage. According to Zu Zehong and others, it is certainly good to cooperate outside here, but this is also a way of fighting, called surrounding points and attacking support. If Huang Taiji had confidence in himself, he would surround Dalinghe City, but he would not attack Dalinghe City. Instead, he used it to deal with the Ming army that came to support Dalinghe City. At that time, it would not be Zu Zehong's internal and external cooperation.

"But there is another saying that is to surround the point and attack the aid." Li Xin thought for a while, and finally said, for the sake of the tens of thousands of lives in the city, he pointed to the distant black smoke and said, "Huang Taiji is a man of great talent and a stunning person who can do things that ordinary people dare not do. He can take the path that ordinary people dare not take. He will definitely surround Dalinghe City, but he does not attack. Instead, he turns to deal with the army that comes to support. When all the living forces in Liaodong are consumed, he will turn to deal with our Dalinghe City. At this time, I don't know how much power there is in Dalinghe City? But it is absolutely impossible to stop the army of the Donglu."

"According to what you said, I, Guanning Iron Cavalry, are just a decoration, and let the other party siege the city?" Zu Dashou said with a little dissatisfaction: "I heard from General He that you, Li Xin, have also fought on the battlefield and saved General He's life. According to the truth, it is also a person who dares to fight and kill. At this time, why do you say these words? Could it be that you are afraid of the army of the Eastern Barbarians?"

"Scared? I don't know what it is to be afraid?" Li Xin said with shame when he heard Yanjun's face turned red, pointing to the black smoke in the distance, saying, "I dare to go head-on and fight against him, who will go with me?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and even looked at Li Xin with dead eyes. At this time, the army of Donglu came, with the sharp force. Who dared to challenge the other party? You must know that although everyone looked down on the Donglu army, it was just a verbal statement. In the heart, the power of the Donglu army cannot be expressed in words. The so-called Later Jin is less than ten thousand, and it is invincible. It is not enough to just say it.

"Why, no one dares to get on? You don't dare to get on, but I dare to get on?" Li Xin took the spear and pointed it at Zu Zehong and said, "The Eastern Barbarian Army came from afar. At this time, it is the time to be tired. You can attack it with elite troops to make their morale devastated again. General Zu, please send troops quickly."

When Zu Dashou heard this, he suddenly showed a look of embarrassment on his face. He had to say that he was moved by Li Xin's words. If he took the opportunity to attack the Donglu army at this time, it might be possible to achieve certain results.

"The Donglu Huang Taiji is a treacherous person. How could his army be unprepared when they arrive here and set up camp? If you are afraid alone, don't go there, and you can't let our Guanning Iron Cavalry follow you and get buried with you!" Zu Zerun said dissatisfiedly.

"Oh!" Li Xin looked at Zu Dashou, and saw that his originally shiny eyes gradually faded, he immediately knew Zu Dashou's thoughts, so he could only sigh softly. Zu Dashou still did not make a decision. Guanning Iron Cavalry is extremely powerful, which is a fact, but it is precisely because his role is too powerful that Zu Dashou was afraid of his hands and feet at this time and did not dare to send Guanning Iron Cavalry out easily. It can be said that Guanning Iron Cavalry made Zu Dashou a group of Liaodong officers, but also bound this group of people, so that they could only protect Guanning Iron Cavalry and prevent them from suffering any losses. As a result, they were afraid of their heads and tails and did not make any major moves on the battlefield.

"Master Zu, why don't I let Li Xin lead the governor's guard to test it. If I can test the truth of the Eastern Barbarians, it will be good. If I can't test the truth of the truth, it will not be too late for us to withdraw to the city." Li Xin bowed and said, "Although Huang Taiji is treacherous, over the years, against my Ming army, there will be more victory than defeat. Even if he doesn't take it lightly, the generals around him may have been careless long ago. Just take Oboi in the morning, and the hundred-man cavalry dared to show off their power under my Dalinghe City, which is enough to show this. Since they took it lightly, we may be able to successfully attack."

"This?" Zu Dashou was in a dilemma. He agreed with Li Xin's approach from the bottom of his heart, but there were many dangers here. It doesn't matter if Li Xin died, but when Sun Chengzong and Qiu Hejia came, he had instructed him to keep Li Xin's life. What's more, Qiu Hejia spent a lot of effort to get out the guard, and his trust was far above that of the small guard Shi Dayong on Songshan. If such a guard was annihilated like this, it would be difficult for him to see Qiu Hejia in the future.

"Master Father, since Mr. Li is willing to test the truth, why don't Father Father Father Father?" Zu Zerun's eyes turned and said softly, "If he loses, he will come back then."

"The Eastern Lu cavalry is very powerful. Li Xin has too few soldiers and horses, and it has no effect." He Kegang shook his head and said, "How can only hundreds of cavalry do it?"

"So what?" Li Xin said lightly. He was completely disappointed with Zu Dashou and others. At this time, the only thing he could do was to take advantage of this opportunity to jump out of Dalinghe City. As for the situation in Dalinghe City, it was no longer something he could control. The first thing he had to do was to save his lives and his subordinates.

"You can take my personal soldiers there." He Kegang stared at Li Xin and said.

Li Xin moved his heart and looked at He Kegang. Seeing that there was a strange look in his eyes, he immediately knew that he knew his plans. He bowed and said, "Thank you, General. But I can't command the general."

"Haha, at this time, it was the time when my Daling River was working together. The Donglu was extremely powerful. As the saying goes, someone gave his power and he was strong. I, He Kegang, was no exception." He Kegang said with a smile: "Although I don't have much money, there are still people around me. Bin'er, come here." He Kegang made a move in the crowd of personal soldiers behind him. When everyone looked at him, it was He Kegang's son He Bin. Unexpectedly, He Kegang actually let his son be a personal soldier. What is this? Protecting or letting his son go to the battlefield?

"You lead a hundred people to follow your elder brother Li." He Kegang patted He Bin's shoulder and said, "Remember, your elder brother Li asked you to go east, you must not go west. Whatever your elder brother Li said, you will do whatever you say? Even if there is a deep abyss ahead, as long as it is your elder brother Li, you will rush over to me."

"Don't worry, my father, I'll follow Brother Li." He Bin nodded, raised the white wax spear in his hand and said, "Father, let's watch me kill the enemy on the top of the city."

"Okay, okay." He Kegang nodded repeatedly, and finally looked at Li Xin and said, "Brother Li, I'll leave the dog to you. Haha! Just treat it as your subordinate and take it seriously. Don't give me the face of Lao He."

"Don't worry, General." Li Xin nodded and turned to look at Zu Dashou, but saw Zu Dashou's face fluttering. Finally, he waved his hand and made people open the city gate.

"Let's go." Li Xin held down the surprise in his heart and led He Bin, Jiang Yi and others down the city wall. Under the city wall, Gao Meng led hundreds of cavalry and prepared a long time ago. With He Bin's 100-man guard, the number of people reached 400. These 400 cavalry are different from infantry. With the careful training of Li Xin and He Kegang, the recent battles were completed by Li Xin and He Kegang, so although they are different, there is no boundary between the two sides at this moment, as if they are all the same army.

"Kill the enemy." Li Xin looked at the cavalry behind him, and his eyes were filled with excitement. These four hundred soldiers were his powerful arm to fight in the battlefield in the future. He believed that as long as he left Dalinghe City, he would enter the sea and would never be bound again. Even if the road was extremely difficult, his life was in his own hands and he would never worry about anything else.

"Young Master, let's take a look later and we'll leave." At this time, a sudden voice came, and Li Xin nodded gently, with a disdain at the corner of his mouth. The person who was speaking just now was not someone else, but Qiu Hejia's confidant Sun Er. At this moment, his face was showing a look of fear. Sun Er had also seen the military force of the Later Jin Dynasty and knew the strength of the Later Jin Dynasty. Li Xin had already opposed it at this time. Unfortunately, he was just a subordinate and had no right to stand on the city wall. He could only wait under the city with Gao Meng. Gao Mengbao's eyes were wide open and he stared at Sun Er tightly, which scared Sun Er so much that he did not dare to act rashly. More importantly, these cavalrymen were all listening to Li Xin, not his, which made him even more difficult.

"Don't worry, I won't go against Donglu this time." Li Xin comforted with a smile, nodding to Yang Xiong behind him. He must not stay with such a person. Who knows if something will happen in the future? But such a person cannot take action by himself. If he can let others take action, it would be the best.

Not to mention that Li Xin led hundreds of cavalry out, among the army slowly coming from afar, a middle-aged man with a handsome face, dressed in white armor, and the generals and soldiers beside him were all wearing white armor, all dressed in snow-white. This is really the Zhengbai Banner, one of the four middle and upper flags of the Later Jin army. The person who commanded the Zhengbai Banner was nothing but Dorgon, the younger brother of the Later Jin Emperor Huang Taiji. At this moment, he was ordered by Huang Taiji as the vanguard in the front.

"Master Beile, Zu Dashou has sent someone to fight." At this time, a man in yellow armor broke into the army. If Li Xin were to know this person from now on, who would be Obai?

"Where have Degele, Yuetuo, Ajige and others gone? Is there any news coming?" Dorgon looked at Oboi and asked. Degele, Yuetuo, Ajige is another part of the army's southward journey. This time Huang Taiji led an army of 50,000 southward to Dalinghe City, and his troops were divided into two groups, one by Beledegele, Yuetuo, and Ajige led 20,000 troops, and lived between Jinzhou and Daling River through Yizhou, cutting off the connection between Jinzhou and Daling River. Huang Taiji personally led the army through Heishan, and Guangning pressed from the front towards Dalinghe City. And he Dorgon was the vanguard of Huang Taiji, the 30,000 army.

"When Mr. Beile, the three Mr. Beile have cut off the connection between Jinzhou and Daling River." Dorgon said respectfully. Dorgon had a very high status and prestige in the Later Jin army. It is rumored that when the old Khan Nurhaci was in the funeral, he actually passed the throne to Dorgon. However, Dorgon was young and designed by Huang Taiji, so the throne did not fall on Dorgon. Because of this, Huang Taiji was extremely worried about Dorgon. He tried every means to weaken Dorgon's strength. For example, former

Soon, Dorgon was given the reputation of Dorgon's outstanding military achievements and Ajige's incompetence, and Dorgon was allowed to take charge of the Zhengbai Banner, which originally belonged to Ajige. Ajige was dissatisfied with Huang Taiji, but his attitude towards Dorgon was also much worse. This was equivalent to weakening Dorgon's strength. This was to prevent Dorgon from not using Dorgon's strength this time, but instead let Degele, Yuetuo and Ajige lead another team of troops to lead a 20,000 army. Degele, Yuetuo and others were good, but in terms of military use, they were not as good as Dorgon.

Dorgon understood these things, but he was helpless. In the eyes of outsiders, Huang Taiji was very favored by his younger brother. He would take him with him every time he went to the expedition. This time, he even made him the vanguard of the army. Not long ago, the Jin Dynasty established six ministries, and Huang Taiji personally issued an edict to let Dorgon take charge of the Ministry of Personnel. In addition to his identity as the lord of Zhengbai Banner, he was considered a high-powered figure among the several beiles of the Later Jin Dynasty.

"Haha! That's good, of course." Dorgon nodded, looked at the smoke and dust flying in the distance, and said with a smile: "When did the Ming Dynasty become brave and actually sent hundreds of cavalry to die?" Dorgon had been through the battlefield for a long time and could see at a glance that Li Xin and others were only hundreds of people.
