Chapter 2116 Killing Duduo
Chapter 2114: Kill Duduo
“Brother Fifteen, it’s not good, the Qin army is catching up.”
"What?"
Dodo's eyes suddenly widened, filled with panic, and he was no longer as calm as before.
“Yang Dayan is a loser. After three thousand soldiers were cut off, the Qin army broke through so quickly.”
Dodo’s tone was filled with complaints, and his soldiers reported:
“The camp has been broken, and the brothers have no fighting spirit and dare not continue to fight to the death. General Yang is also powerless to save his life..."
“Okay, there’s no need to say good things to Yang Dayan, let him come and **** me away as soon as possible.”
To be honest, Duduo already regretted asking for orders to go to the front line.
Now the pursuers of the Qin army are close at hand. Once they are overtaken, there are only two endings waiting for him, death or being captured alive.
These two endings are obviously not what Duduo wants, and the only person who can successfully protect him and retreat now is Yang Dayan.
"This...fifteenth brother, after the army was killed and dispersed, the connection between the two armies was cut off. General Yang Dayan went to General Tuoba Tao alone. I'm afraid he won't be able to come to protect my brother."
"What?"
Doduo's eyes were full of disbelief, but he quickly figured out why Yang Dayan would rather go to Tuoba Tao's side than come to protect him, the prince.
It's very simple. As the son of Nurhaci, Duduo must be the main target of the Qin army's pursuit. It is naturally more dangerous to come to his side.
"This dog slave, if I can go back safely, I will never let him go."
Duduo gritted his teeth and cursed angrily. As soon as he finished speaking, a cry of death sounded from behind the team.
"kill…"
Dodo turned his head and looked pale, because the leader was Jintai. He quickly shouted: "Hurry, protect me and retreat quickly."
It is obviously not easy to escape under Jintai's nose, not to mention that Jintai came specifically for him.
At this time, it was just before dawn. Although the sky was getting brighter, it was still difficult to see clearly.
Although Jintai had good eyesight, he could not find Dodo among the thousands of soldiers just by relying on the light of the torch. However, he knew that Dodo must be surrounded by a large number of guards, so he rushed to them alone. The most places to come.
“The golden platform is here, Duduo, let’s die.”
After Jintai roared, he swung his sword directly into the crowd.
The remnants of Duduo, who originally had more than a thousand soldiers, still had some resistance, but when the Qing soldiers heard that the person coming was Jintai, the **** of death, they were frightened and fled in all directions. In an instant, only Duduo was left. He recruited more than a hundred loyal personal guards.
“Let’s see where you can run now.”
After discovering Duduo, Jintai was immediately overjoyed. While ordering soldiers to pursue the defeated army, he also ordered soldiers to block Duduo's retreat to prevent the fat in his mouth from flying away.
“It’s over.”
The retreat was cut off, which made Dodo completely despair, but then a look of madness appeared on his face.
Unlike Daishan, who was greedy for life and afraid of death when faced with a desperate situation, Duduo was inspired to be vicious when faced with a desperate situation, and made up his mind to support a few people even if he died.
Under the siege of the Qin army, although Duduo bravely killed thirteen people in a row, there were fewer and fewer guards around him. He did not fall until the last guard died in battle, but brandished his sword to attack. Fight to the last minute.
"Come on, there is no one in the Qing Dynasty who is greedy for life and afraid of death..." Dodo shouted hysterically while slashing, but before he could finish his words, the long knife in his hand had disappeared, and then he was killed by a big His feet flew straight away, and he couldn't get up even after landing.
“Someone came and tied him up.”
After looking at Duduo who fell to the ground, Jintai gave a cold order.
Compared to killing Dodo, he prefers to capture Dodo alive, and the value of Dodo alive is also greater.
Jintai thought that Duduo had no power to fight back, but what he didn't expect was that just when the soldiers were about to tie up Duduo, Duduo actually snatched a waist knife while the soldiers were not paying attention, and then...
“Ama, I did my best.”
With a roar of grief and anger, Duduo stabbed himself in the abdomen with a knife, spit out a large mouthful of blood, gritted his teeth, and committed seppuku in front of Jintai.
Looking at Duduo who was still staring at death, a trace of respect flashed in Jintai's eyes, he took a deep breath and went up to close his eyes.
“Sweep the battlefield quickly.”
)
As the sun rose, the offensive and defensive battle of the third battalion finally came to an end.
Even if Tuoba Tao had a full 10,000 defenders, 5,000 of whom were elites sent by Nurhaci, he still could not defend the third battalion under Wei Qing's strong attack.
Tuoba Tao only defended for five days, and the third battalion was defeated by Wei Qing. Seven thousand of the ten thousand troops were killed in the battle, and two thousand were captured. Eight generals including Nian Deli were killed in the battle, and the fifteenth elder brother Duduo was also captured. Forced to commit seppuku, only Tuoba Tao, Yang Dayan and hundreds of other Qing remnants escaped back to the Fourth Battalion.
Although the Qin army achieved such great results, it also paid a high price. After all, the Qing army's resistance was extremely strong.
After the war, statistics showed that the attack on the camp totaled 12,000 casualties, which was the highest casualty since the counterattack.
Wei Qing defeated the first battalion of the Qing army in five days, killing 4,000 enemies and beheading the Qing defenders, and suffered 5,000 self-inflicted losses.
The second battalion was captured in two days. Although the troops were not killed, Li Gan's careless advance led to an ambush by the Qing army, which resulted in the loss of 4,500 troops and the loss of General Li Gan.
It also took five days to defeat the third battalion. Although 9,000 enemies were killed and generals such as Nian Deli and Duduo were beheaded, the total number of casualties in this battle reached 12,000, and four generals including Han Zeng were lost. .
Coupled with the losses suffered in many previous attacks, Wei Qing's troops were already severely weakened. Only 20,000 of the 50,000-strong integrated army were left, and they were all exhausted. It was obvious that they were no longer able to take on the task of attacking the fourth battalion.
Wei Qing knew that Tuoba Gui would defend the Fourth Battalion at all costs, and with his 20,000 exhausted troops, it was impossible to break through the Fourth Battalion, so he took the initiative to write to Qin Hao to apply for rest.
"Did only 20,000 of the 50,000-strong army survive? It was really tragic."
After looking at the document in his hand, Qin Hao looked at Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen and said: "Two military advisors, Wei Qing's troops have suffered more than half of their casualties, and they are all exhausted. It is obvious that they are unable to fight anymore. It is indeed time to retreat. Who can replace them?" What about replacement?"
Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen looked at each other and said in unison: "Wei Qing."
Qin Hao smiled and was not surprised at all by this answer, because he thought so too.
“Wei Qing defeated three strong Qing strongholds in less than half a month. Although he mainly relied on the hard work of his soldiers, this achievement is an indisputable fact.
Now the Qing army is extremely afraid of Wei Qing, and they almost change their minds when talking about Wei Qing, so he is the best choice to continue to lead the army. Even if the troops under his command are replaced, he should be allowed to stay and continue to serve as the commander-in-chief. Liu Bowen said unhurriedly.
Qin Hao nodded with a smile and ordered: "In that case, use Xue Rengui's command to replace Wei Qing's command, but Wei Qing will continue to be the commander-in-chief and Xue Rengui will be the deputy."
“My lord is wise.” The two military advisors said in unison.
