Chapter 2155: Capturing Chu Ying alive
“Brother, in less than ten miles, we can reach the battlefield smoothly.”
Hearing this, Chu Ying's heart suddenly sank, and he thought to himself: "Amma was careless and fell into Wei Qing's plan to attack the east and attack the west, so that he faced Huo and Wei alone.
If it is 70,000 versus 70,000, with the combat power of our Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty, we are not afraid of the Qin Army, which is a mix of old and new. But now our Qing Army is 15,000 less than the Qin Army.
You must go as quickly as possible to support Amma. "
“How is the situation on the battlefield now?” Chu Ying asked.
“The war situation is very unfavorable to our side, and our army has fallen into full passivity.”
"What?"
Chu Ying suddenly screamed and asked hurriedly: "Although the number of people on Ama's side is smaller than that of Qin's army, their overall combat power is stronger. The battle only started for an hour and a half, how could they fall into complete passivity so quickly?"
“This… I don’t know.”
Hearing this, Chu Ying's face became more and more gloomy. He found that the situation was completely beyond his expectation. Now even if his troops rush over, he may not be able to reverse the situation. Instead, he may be beaten to death.
He Ba, the general under Chu Ying's command, saw a strange look in his eyes when he saw the eldest brother's posture. He stepped forward and said, "Brother, why don't you surrender?"
"Um?"
Chu Ying's eyes widened. This subordinate of his dared to make such a suggestion to him at this critical period. Didn't he want to live?
Chu Ying's face was slightly cold, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes: "Were you also bribed by the Qin army?"
Heerba didn't expect Chu Ying's reaction to be so big, and quickly explained: "No, absolutely not. The Qin army wanted to bribe the general, but the general refused at the first time. The general just felt that surrendering at the moment would be unfair to his elder brother. You are better off.
The king of the Qin people said before the war started that no prisoners would be taken in this battle. Our army is now in a certain defeat. If we surrender now, we can still save our lives. Once we fight, it will be too late.
The Qin army has laid a dragnet, and His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are afraid that they will not be able to escape. The Qing Dynasty will probably fall into civil strife. Only you, the eldest brother, can conquer the people, so anyone can die, but you must not die. "
Chu Ying was ready to draw his sword and kill people. After hearing these words, his pupils shrank, and the ambition that had been extinguished in his heart suddenly emerged again.
Yes, if Ama and Huang Taiji both died in this battle, then as the eldest brother, wouldn’t he be the heir to the throne?
At this thought, Chu Ying couldn't help but reveal an excited smile on her face, but she quickly put it away. She looked at Helba coldly and said, "Go on."
“Yes, brother, we can use surrender to negotiate terms with the Qin army in exchange for a chance to return to the Qing Dynasty alive…”
Poof…
Before he finished speaking, Helba's eyes suddenly widened and he vomited a large mouthful of blood, but his chest had been pierced by Chu Ying.
“Ah, brother, why, why...”
Before he finished speaking, he was exhausted.
"Why? Because I have a better way."
Chu Ying pulled out his sword with a cold face and shouted coldly: "This person is a spy of the Qin army. He will demoralize our army before the war. If anyone dares to surrender, he will be punished."
Chu Ying's ruthless performance greatly frightened the generals who resisted the war, and they no longer dared to surrender.
What Chu Ying said was actually correct. Helba who was killed by him was indeed a spy. To be precise, he should have been bribed by Hei Bingtai and was just a chess piece lurking around Chu Ying.
According to the analysis of the top management of Heibingtai, Chu Ying may be the only one of Nurhachi's sons who is likely to be incited to rebel, and Chu Ying will be helpful to the Qin army's next plan, so Heibingtai has spent so much effort. , specifically to bury such a chess piece next to him.
There were naturally not many important chess pieces like Helba among the Manchus, but it was a pity that they were not put to use in the end.
The temptation of the throne had tempted Chu Ying, but he still refused to surrender and even killed Helba. The reason was that a prince who surrendered could not get the support of the rest of the Qing Dynasty.
“It’s just a gamble. If you succeed, you will dominate the world. If you don’t succeed, the worst case scenario is death.”
Chu Ying gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, and then shouted an order: "Speed up the march and reach the battlefield as soon as possible."
"Cha." At the speed of the Eight Banners cavalry, the distance of ten kilometers would not take long at all. But what Chu Ying never expected was that just when he arrived five or six kilometers away from the battlefield, a Qin army was chasing him from behind. .
This Qin army is quite powerful. The shouts of killing resounded in the sky. There may be as many as 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers.
"What? How could this happen? The Qin army in the east is not a cover?"
Chu Ying looked puzzled. Since Wei Qing's main force came from the west, the Qin army in the east must be a cover. But where did this Qin army come from?
What Chu Ying didn't know was that the Qin cavalry in front of him was not a cover left by Wei Qing, but was led by Qin Hao.
After Qin Hao and Long Qie worked together to defeat Huang Taiji's troops, Long Qie led three thousand cavalry to pursue them, while Qin Hao led more than six thousand cavalry to detour to the decisive battlefield.
Originally, Qin Hao was going to lead his army to join the battle, but he changed his mind before the battle. Even if his six thousand cavalry participated in the melee of hundreds of thousands of cavalry, they would not play a decisive role. It would be better to go to Wei Qing's place to leave two soldiers behind. Thousands of suspicious soldiers gathered together to hold Chu Ying's troops away from participating in the decisive battle.
“Hurry, hurry, stop marching, change direction, prepare for war.”
Chu Ying shouted hoarsely. At this time, he must stop and repel the Qin army in the rear. Otherwise, even if he can join the battle in time, the Qin army in the rear will also join the battle, or even raid the Qin army's rear. Then he can't participate. Going to war makes no difference.
The Eight Banners Army was indeed an elite force. After hearing the news, the 15,000-strong army immediately made adjustments and turned its blade towards the Qin Army behind them without showing any confusion. Unfortunately, it was still half a beat too late.
The Eight Banners Army had just set up their formation, and before they had time to blow the charge horn, more than 8,000 Qin troops had already taken advantage of the situation and rushed over.
Cavalry is called cavalry when it is running. Cavalry that has lost its charge is not as useful as infantry.
Under the impact of the Jiulong Guards headed by Qin Hao, the Eight Banners Army's formation was thrown into chaos and it was impossible to form effective resistance.
“The whole army charged forward to capture Chu Ying.”
Qin Hao waved his halberd and shouted, then took the lead with his horse, stabbing, picking, chopping or chopping. Wherever he passed, all the knights fell off their horses and died.
Qin Hao's bravery and skill in fighting greatly intensified the Nine Dragon Guards. All the knights fought bravely to take the lead. The team of less than 500 people actually had the tendency to kill the Eight Banners Army.
“No one is allowed to retreat, no one is allowed to retreat, I will kill them all back.”
Chu Ying roared with all his strength, but it was still difficult to reverse the decline. The Qin army chose the time very well. The Qing army was caught off guard. Although its strength was twice that of the opponent, it was still no match. Now the situation was really troublesome.
Of course, the more troublesome thing is yet to come.
A Qin cavalry force of no more than a few hundred people unexpectedly rushed to Chu Ying's side. Now Chu Ying could no longer sit still.
“The personal guards will follow my king to repel this Qin army.”
.
Chu Ying immediately stared at the masked Qin general at the head. He swung his sword and wanted to chop off his neck. However, he did not want to chop off the sword, but instead numbed his arms.
“You are far behind Huang Taiji.”
After saying this, Qin Hao swung his halberd with his backhand. The sword in Chu Ying's hand shattered into pieces, and he vomited blood and flew out. The shouts of his personal guards, "Protect Brother," suddenly rang out all around.
But how could these personal guards stop Qin Hao.
After killing more than ten people in a row, Qin Hao rushed to Chu Ying, who had already gotten up, and put a halberd directly on his neck, preventing him from making any move.
“Don’t worry, you are still useful, I won’t kill you for the time being.” Qin Hao said indifferently.
Chu Yingze swallowed his saliva and asked, "Who are you?"
“You’ll find out soon”
Then he was knocked unconscious with a blow from his hand.
In this way, after Huang Taiji, Chu Ying was also captured alive by Qin Hao. Among Nurhachi's sons, only Dorgon, who stayed in Shengjing, escaped.
