"Pang Gang is here too?" Yang Wu General Yue Tuo, who had been sitting silently next to Dorgon, finally spoke, "Prince Heshuo, are you really sure that the Ming army is Pang Gang's men?"
"Even if Pang Gang is not personally leading the troops, they are inseparable from Pang Gang!" Dorgon looked at Yue Tuo with a stern face and said, "Think about it, there are many people in the Ming army who use firearms, but people like this are good at it.
There are not many soldiers and horses who use weapons, and his surname is Pang. Isn't this answer obvious enough?"
Hearing this, Yue Tuo was silent for a while and then asked: "If this slave really met that Pang Gang, then he was defeated unjustly. Du Du, you should spare this slave's life. -<
Shuhai Pavilion>-Net."
Under the persuasion of Yue Tuo and Dorgon, the furious Du Du gradually calmed down. He impatiently said to the Jia La Zhang Jing: "You useless slave, why don't you get out of here!"
"Yes, yes, slave, get out of here." After hearing that he had saved his life, this Jia La Zhangjing ran out rolling and crawling.
As if Yue Tuo had not seen this Jia La Zhangjing, he stared at Dorgon and said: "Prince Rui, do you have any good ideas for dealing with the Ming army?"
Dorgon smiled slightly: "Yue Tobeile, now that the Ming army has been divided, one unit will be led by the supervisor Gao Qiqian to garrison the Marco Polo Bridge area, and the other unit will be garrisoned at Yongding Gate led by Lu Xiangsheng. Why don't we defeat each of them!"
After hearing this, Yue Tuo said thoughtfully: "Oh, please tell Prince Rui in detail."
"We can do this..." Dorgon lowered his voice and whispered in Yue Tuo's ear.
"Hmm..." Yue Tuo nodded frequently after hearing this...
Since wiping out hundreds of Qing soldiers, Pang Gang has been on guard against the Qing soldiers' revenge, so he cast Ye Bushou like a net to the Tongzhou area. Naturally, he knew the moves of the Qing soldiers clearly. (-< Book
Haige>-Net.)
After two days, no reports were received at night, and the Qing soldiers began to divide into two groups, one heading towards Yongding Gate, and the other heading towards Marco Polo Bridge.
In Lu Xiangsheng's big tent at Yongding Gate, Lu Xiangsheng summoned the generals to discuss matters.
"Everyone!" Lu Xiangsheng glanced at everyone with his bright eyes and said seriously: "Everyone must have got the news. The Tatar soldiers marched towards Yongding Gate and Marco Polo Bridge in two groups respectively. Those heading our way were led by thieves and chiefs.
Ergun led more than 30,000 troops, and those who attacked Marco Polo Bridge where Gao Eunuch was stationed were 50,000 troops led by the bandit chief Yue Tuo. What do you think of this?"
All the generals fell silent after listening to Lu Xiangsheng's words. The situation now looks very bad. Dorgon is one of the most famous generals in the Qing army. He is known for his ruthless, stable and fast use of troops. In addition, his own defense line
It is very long. If the Qing army concentrated its forces to attack a small area, it would be easily defeated by the Qing army.
Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a while and then said: "The Tatars are powerful. If we divide our troops to guard again, we may be easily defeated by the Tatars. Let's do this. From today on, we will immediately unite our troops and defend the camp. We must not let the Tatars
Let’s go and get a bargain!”
"What about Eunuch Gao? Do you want to inform them? Maybe Eunuch Gao can send some reinforcements over." Someone asked.
"Well, then send someone to inform them." Lu Xiangsheng nodded in agreement, and then said with a wry smile: "But let's not think about reinforcements. It would be great if Eunuch Gao doesn't ask us for help."
After listening to Lu Xiangsheng's words, all the generals nodded in agreement. The commander of the Qing army heading towards Gao Qiqian was also Yue Tuo, who was known as the victorious general. Moreover, its military strength was comparable to that of Gao Qiqian, let alone Gao Qiqian.
More reinforcements have been sent. It will be good if we can save Marco Polo Bridge and Wanping City from being lost.
As Lu Xiangsheng's order was issued, soldiers and horses from various towns scattered on the defense line gathered towards the center of Yongding Gate. The 40,000 troops scattered everywhere gathered together again. The Qingzhou military led by Pang Gang finally arrived.-<
Shuhai Pavilion>-Net. The reason was not that Pang Gang was too slow, but that they were harassed by the Qing army again. When Pang Gang ordered the army to break out of the camp, a thousand troops suddenly appeared from a distance.
There were many Qing troops, they hung far behind the army, and from time to time they rushed around the army to carry out harassing attacks.
Pang Gang also sent cavalry to counterattack in a tit-for-tat manner. The battle was fierce, and both sides suffered losses. However, the Qing army suffered a disadvantage because the range of the bows and arrows was too short, so the losses were much greater than those of the Qingzhou army. But even so, this part of the Qing army also suffered losses.
They were fierce and fierce, and never gave up harassing the Qingzhou Army. It was not until the Qingzhou Army came near Lu Xiangsheng's camp that they stopped pursuing and retreated angrily.
When Pang Gang led the army to retreat into the camp, Dorgon also came to a place dozens of miles away from Yongding Gate.
Dorgon was riding on a tall black divine horse. He looked silently in the direction of Yongding Gate. He didn't make a sound for a long time. A black banner stood behind him, surrounded by more than a dozen generals and hundreds of Goshiha.
Beside him, no one dared to interrupt his thoughts. Behind him was an army that could not be seen to the side.
After a long time, a billowing smoke appeared in front of them, and they quickly rode up to Dorgon. This was a group of elite Qing cavalry wearing white armor, numbering about a thousand people.
When they arrived at Dorgon, the leading Qing general immediately dismounted and strode up to Dorgon and said, "My servant Chou Hado has seen his master before."
Dorgon looked at the dusty Chou Haduo and asked: "Chou Haduo, how did you complete your errand?"
Chou Haduo lowered his head in shame, "Master, this slave is incompetent and failed to hold back the Qingzhou Army and let them escape back to the Ming Army's camp."
"Well, this is also what I expected. If they were held back by you so easily, they would not have become a serious problem for the emperor." Dorgon said calmly: "You and that Ming army
How do you feel after we have handed each other over?"
Having said this, Chou Haduo's face suddenly darkened, "I don't dare to deceive my master. The Ming army is very powerful, and their cavalry are also extremely fierce. They rushed up and fought with the slave to the death. The slave fought with them to the death."
, we lost nearly five hundred warriors and were unable to break into their marching ranks."
Dorgon asked again: "How powerful are their firearms?"
Chou Hado shook his head and said: "I have never seen their long muskets before, but the hand muskets equipped by their cavalry are very impressive and very powerful. Many of our warriors were injured by their hand muskets. And those who know that
The army is well-equipped, and everyone wears stainless steel armor, and our warriors also suffered a lot in close combat with them."
Dorgon closed his eyes and quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind before saying: "Immediately order the army to march to camp twenty miles outside Yongding Gate. No one can act rashly without my order."
"Scum!"
Inside the Chinese army tent at Yongdingmen camp
Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief of Xuanda University, asked Lu Xiangsheng with some confusion: "Captain Lu, the Tatar army has been entrenched twenty miles in front of us for two days, but they have not made any move. Is there any deception?"
Lu Xiangsheng slowly shook his head and said: "I don't know about this issue. Maybe the Tatars are preparing some trick, but no matter what, as long as we can drag these tens of thousands of troops here, it can be regarded as a favor for Eunuch Gao."
Take some of the pressure off."
At this time, Pang Gang stood up and clasped his fists at Lu Xiangsheng and said: "Supervisor Lu, why don't we send people to the Tatar formation to call for an upset. If the Tatars come out to fight on our side, we can also find out the Tatars' real situation.
."
"That's fine." Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while and nodded in agreement. He was originally an offensive general at heart, and Pang Gang's words were right in line with his taste.
"Chaodong, you will lead your troops to the Tatar formation to call for formation. Zhou Siyong, you will lead three thousand cavalry to hold down the formation for General Pang." Once Lu Xiangsheng made up his mind, he would implement it thoroughly. Not only did he agree with Pang,
At Pang Gang's request, he also sent 3,000 cavalry from the Tianxiong Army that he personally led to Pang Gang to suppress the formation.
Just when Pang Gang received the order to leave the tent, a soldier came rolling and crawling outside. After entering, he said to Lu Xiangsheng with a tearful voice: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Gao was defeated at Marco Polo Bridge, Marco Polo Bridge and Wanping City.
The defense has been lost, and now Eunuch Gao is leading the defeated troops to retreat towards our camp!"
"What, Eunuch Gao was defeated? How is this possible?" All the generals were shocked. Gao Qiqian led an army of 50,000 and raised his hands to Lugou Bridge and Wanping City. Even if he lost to the Qing army, there was no problem in persisting for ten days and a half.
Yes, how could it be possible to lose in just one day?
Lu Xiangsheng's face suddenly changed, and he immediately said: "The situation has changed. The deployment just now has been abandoned. Now Eunuch Gao has been newly defeated and is running towards our army camp. The Tatars are bound to follow closely. The generals are now
Immediately go back and order your troops to wait by the camp, and we must not let the Tatars take advantage of the situation and rush into our camp!"
"yes!"
All the generals knew that the situation was urgent. After receiving the order, they all went down to rectify their troops and prepare for the next battle.
After the generals exited the tent, a dull drumbeat soon sounded in the camp. Groups of soldiers, led by their respective officers, went to the camp to string their bows, unsheath their swords, and lined up beside the camp to defend the camp.
Since the combat effectiveness of Pang Gang's Qingzhou Army was obvious to all, Lu Xiangsheng entrusted them with important tasks and specially arranged them to the left side near the official road.
After receiving the order, Pang Gang immediately arranged 3,000 riflemen to the front, 1,000 spearmen to the rear, and finally Pang Gang and his more than 1,000 soldiers.
As soon as the formation was arranged, there was a burst of smoke and dust from the front, and then bursts of killings shook the sky, and groups of Ming troops were routed from the front.
Some of them were on horseback, some were on foot. Riding a tall horse and running at the front was the commander of the ground service, the commander of troops and horses, Gao Qiqian...
