"Oh, why does Li Qing think it's a scam?"
Zhu Hengjia asked Li Dingguo with a smile. This was a famous general in the world. Emperor Guangwu still valued what he said.
"Your Majesty, there are more than 100,000 Qing captives, why are there only more than 10,000 attacking the city? There is a lack of siege equipment in the formation, and no enemy artillery has been seen firing. Is there any reason to attack the city so hastily? If it is to attack the city, why not send elite troops?
The Eight Banners of Manchu, Mongolia and Han, instead of sending these tofu soldiers who are unable to fight?"
"Well, what Li Qing means is that the Qing captives want to lure me into fighting?"
Li Dingguo said seriously: "I feel that the Qing captives must have formed a formation on the plain outside the city and want to take advantage of their cavalry to lure our army to the plain for a decisive battle."
Zhu Hengjia frowned as soon as he heard about the decisive battle in the plains. The Battle of Boye was still in front of him, and the scene of the endless and overwhelming cavalry columns of the Qing Dynasty rushing towards his military formation could not be removed from his mind.
.
Compared with the Qing army, the Ming army's cavalry is always at a disadvantage. So far, Sun Guangwei's 10,000 cavalry has only 5,000 left. Together with Ma Ning's 7,000 Hui cavalry and Wu Yingqi's 5,000 Guan Ning cavalry, the number of cavalry is no more than 5,000.
Seventeen thousand; while the Qing army had more than 50,000 cavalry. Fighting on the plains would be disadvantageous to the Ming army.
After a long while, Zhu Hengjia sneered: "Order Ma Ning's troops to go out of the west gate, and Sun Guangwei and Wu Yingqi's troops to go out of the east gate to outflank the Qing captives who are attacking the city; order all the troops to gather at the north gate and prepare to go out of the city to form an array; order Jiang Bin, the commander of the vehicle and artillery battalion.
, concentrate all the artillery on the north city wall. Obai wants to lure me to fight far away, but I want to rely on the strong city to fight with him. If he comes, he will fight under the north city wall; if he doesn't come, he will eat this green camp."
.
After hearing this, Li Dingguo secretly admired: The Tatars used the Green Camp as bait to lure His Majesty to the plains for a decisive battle; His Majesty also used the Green Camp as a bait to lure the Tatars to the city for a decisive battle. This trick 'treats the person in his own way',
She is really beautiful. She is indeed a wise and wise real dragon emperor!

Yi Yonggui, the chief soldier of Qingshan Customs, was originally from Liaoyang. He surrendered to the Qing Dynasty earlier and joined the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army. He participated in the Songjin War with Dorgon, and fought with Li Zicheng with Duoduo. He was regarded as one of the Qing court's own
.
At present, the Ming army is powerful and there are many surrendered generals. The Qing court is becoming more and more uneasy about the generals of the Green Camp and reuses a large number of generals from the Han army of the Eight Banners. At least they are in the banner and have higher loyalty. Yi Yonggui came from the capital
He was sent to Shanhaiguan as the commander-in-chief.
General Ren was a veteran general. He originally wanted to fight a few good battles and serve his master well. Unfortunately, not long after he took office, his subordinates were suffering from serious illnesses. He wanted to reorganize the troops, but he didn't have time. The battle was not won, but solid results were achieved.
Suffered several defeats.
He was relieved to be assigned as fishing bait this time. His subordinates knew that they could not fight tough battles, but they were more than enough to make fishing bait.
"Headquarters, do you want to attack the city?" His subordinates attacked Peng Liuhe and asked for instructions.
"Well, tell the soldiers to spread out more loosely and put fewer people in the front. As soon as the Ming army leaves the city, they will retreat immediately," Yi Yonggui said in a deep voice.
"嗻!"
Qing troops in twos and threes pretended to attack the city with ladders in the front, but the main force stayed in the rear.
After attacking for more than an hour, more than a hundred corpses were left behind, but no Ming army was seen leaving the city to counterattack.
Yi Yonggui secretly wondered, his subordinates were notoriously cowardly, and the ferocious Ming army refused to eat him when they saw this big fat piece of meat of his. What should he do? How could he accomplish this if he could not lure the Ming army?
The task given by the commander?
"Da~da~da~"
"Da~da~da~"
Suddenly I heard the sound of horse hooves, and two black lines appeared on the east and west wings, growing from thin to wide, rolling up dust into the sky, like two tornadoes.
Ma Ning's 7,000 cavalry came from the west, and Sun Guangwei and Wu Yingqi's 10,000 cavalry came from the east. The two tornadoes merged behind the Qing army's formation, cutting off Yi Yonggui's retreat.
"Bang!"
The heavy Qizhou North City Gate opened, and countless Ming troops poured out of the city gate and lined up to fight. Following the war drums, they shouted "kill every three steps". Thousands of people marched as if they were one person. At first glance, they were elite soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles.
.
"No, we're surrounded!"
Yi Yonggui's eyes narrowed, and he secretly complained to himself that he only knew how to guard against the Ming army's infantry, but forgot that the Ming army also had cavalry, and was actually cut off by the Ming army's cavalry.
"Headquarters, our army is surrounded." Peng Liuhe stared at Yi Yonggui pitifully, which means, you have to make a decision.
"Bah! Useless things, quickly form a formation! Wait for the commander to rescue you.
Yi Yonggui hated these useless subordinates. These guys were incomparable to the Han banners he had commanded before.
Zhu Hengjia ordered Yuan Zongdi to lead Zhang Chengwu, Ma Ning, Sun Guangwei and Wu Yingqi, with 30,000 infantry and cavalry, to tightly surround more than 10,000 Beizhili Green Camp; he himself led more than 80,000 infantry to form a formation in the north city of Qizhou.
p>
"Order Yuan Zongdi, don't rush to annihilate this group of Qing captives, and fight slowly." Emperor Guangwu stood on the imperial chariot and ordered calmly.
Since it is bait, you cannot eat it in a hurry before the fish takes the bait.
??
Fifteen miles away in the north of Qizhou, Aobai did not wait for the news that the Ming army was pursuing him, but he heard the news that the Yiyonggui tribe was surrounded by the Ming army at the foot of the North City.
This immediately put him in a dilemma: If he didn't save it, the more than 10,000 green battalions would be wiped out by the Ming army; if he saved it, the battlefield he had arranged in advance would be useless.
I couldn't help but curse angrily: "Yi Yonggui is a piece of trash, he can't even be used as bait."
"Commander, although the Ming army did not arrive at the battlefield we arranged, they have left the city after all. Let's attack." Mulima, Bahana, Ye Keshu, and Bashan generals all asked for battle.
"Attack", in the end, Obai was still reluctant to part with the more than 10,000 green camp soldiers. Although these soldiers and horses did not have high combat effectiveness, they numbered more than 10,000 after all. Moreover, it would be too damaging to morale if they refused to save them.
"Commander, what about the general's cannon?"
Zhenhuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Bayan asked for instructions. Although he had a Manchu name, he was Han Chinese and the fifth son of the traitor Li Yongfang. He was good at using artillery and was responsible for the artillery of the Qing army.
Following Oboi's orders, cannons have been set up on the preset battlefield. But now we have to change battlefields. These cannons are heavy and will not be easy to move for a while.
"Horses lead people to carry them. No matter what method you use, you must arrive as soon as possible with cannons," Obai shouted.
The Qing army advanced towards Qizhou from north to south, with banners covering the sun and coming menacingly.
After traveling for ten miles, Ao Bai asked his soldiers to sit cross-legged to rest, drink some water, and replenish their physical strength. He also posted sentries and cavalry to prevent the Ming army from sneaking up on him while he was resting. He was a veteran general, and he strictly followed the military manual in battle. "It says: "Every army marching on the road must rest for ten miles, dry food for thirty miles, and food and lodging for sixty miles." Naturally, this must be observed.
At this time, the Qing army was only a few miles away from the Ming army. Such a large number of enemies could not be concealed from the Ming army scouts, and military reports came to Zhu Hengjia like snowflakes.
"Order Yuan Zongdi to immediately withdraw from the siege and return to the main formation." Emperor Guangwu, holding the Emperor's Sword, stood majestically on his chariot and issued the military order.
Then the imperial chariot pulled the emperor and drove slowly in front of the battle formation to boost morale. Only the soldiers in the front row could see the emperor's face, and those in the back row could only see a figure and the dragon-coiled banner, but this was enough .
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
With thunderous roars everywhere, the Ming army veterans straightened their backs and quietly waited for the upcoming bloody battle.
