Duduo's cavalry was indeed very fast. Just after Yinshi arrived (at three o'clock in the morning), he was already on the banks of the Liuzhou River to the north of Chen Bingzhong's rear post. He looked across the river at the bright lights of the city. The smile on his lips was as cold as the night, but his eyes were cold.
He was also extremely disdainful. In his eyes, the middle and rear positions were nothing more than an appetizer.
Intelligence showed that all the Ming troops were stationed in the middle and rear, but the strength of the troops was unknown. It was inferred that the Ming army was unable to divide its troops at this time. Two thousand people were enough, and it didn't take long for an abandoned city to be restarted. The defensive strength can be imagined.
.
Perhaps as he thought, when the Ming army stationed here saw the Qing army's formation at dawn, they were so frightened that their legs weakened, and they immediately opened the city and surrendered.
But is surrender enough?
Isn't the name of the executioner called in vain? How could the six thousand people of Abatai die in vain?
If this small city is not in ruins, if the people in this city are not reduced to bones, it will be a loss of prestige.
His subordinates reported that the main force of the infantry was seventy miles away. Duduo frowned, too slow!
Although you can order a hasty march, it is not necessary. One step earlier or one step later will be a matter of tomorrow. Sooner or later, the center and rear will become ruins. There is no need to make the soldiers so tired!
Breaking the ice by the Liuzhou River to get water for the horses, three thousand cavalry watched eagerly. Li Yan stayed up all night on the city. He raised his eyes to the north, his face was solemn, his eyes were hot and flames were burning, murderous intent was looming, and there was a huge amount in his heart: The Little Eunuch Die Hard
, the army marched in danger, and everything was unexpected, which really makes people feel ashamed. The defeat of Taiyuan is heartfelt!
Li Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart and turned around to ask the time. The young eunuch asked the scout to pass a message to him. As soon as the Yin hour passed (five o'clock), it was the time when people were most sleepy and tired, and it was also the agreed time to take action.
Wu Zhongxian's plan is as simple, crude and effective as his martial arts!
The cavalry and infantry of the Qing army were too far apart. In this case, they and Li Yan each had their own food. The three thousand cavalry were given to Li Yan, and the infantry behind them were eaten by the eunuchs. Although there were few monks and a lot of porridge, they could still eat it.
Eat as much as you like!
The so-called surprise attack is nothing more than taking the enemy by surprise and attacking them unprepared, and often the harvest is beyond expectations.
The outcome, good or bad, will be beyond expectations. For example, during the Battle of Dalinghe in the fourth year of Chongzhen's reign, six thousand men of the Ming army ambushed Huang Taiji and Duoduo.
As a result, Huang Taiji led 200 soldiers to kill the 6,000 Ming army and was completely defeated!
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, this time the little eunuch is going to attack Duduo's 6,000 infantry with 500 cavalry, what will be the outcome?
Yin hour will pass in half an hour, and as soon as Mao hour (five o'clock) arrives, we can start. General Qin Songwang has already mobilized his troops and gathered five thousand troops inside the city gate to wait for orders. He only needs an order, and there are more than a thousand more.
The troops and horses had quietly left the city through the south gate and circled from the east to hide behind the enemy lines.
After a night of rapid marching, the soldiers and horses were exhausted. On the banks of the Six Prefectures and Hebei Province, the Qing cavalry dismounted to rest and lit countless bonfires, stretching for several miles. It was unclear whether the number was real or not. If the bonfires were used to estimate the number, it would be tens of thousands.
But Li Yan had already received information from scouts. The total strength of the Qing army was only over 10,000, with only 3,000 cavalry. This information was also confirmed by the young eunuch.
Three thousand cavalrymen were unexpectedly killed when they were exhausted. Li Yan was still very confident!
The central rear post was right in front of him. The Qing army was so free to drink water. It was obvious that they did not take the Ming army seriously, because Duduo knew that the Ming army did not have the guts to leave the city for a sneak attack. The one who had the guts already belonged to the Qing Dynasty.
Duduo has a close relationship with Zhonghousuo, and the cause of the Songjin War is related to him. In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led Jierhalang and Duduo to enter the pass. At that time, Zu Dashou was guarding Zhonghousuo, and he led his troops to sneak attack
The executioner who killed Duduo fled in disgrace, thus forming a rift and triggering a great war.
Looking at the lights on the city of Zhonghousuo in the distance, Duduo had mixed feelings. This place was his place of shame and should be washed with blood. This is why he took the initiative to invite soldiers to attack Zhonghousuo. Zu Dashou had surrendered, so he could only use this small
The troops stationed here came to vent their hatred.
Sneak attack? Hahaha.
Before Songjin, the Ming army was still a bit bloody. During the war, the Ming army also carried out many ambushes and sneak attacks. None of them were successful. Instead, they were defeated one after another. They just brought humiliation to themselves. Among them, the ambush of the emperor with 6,000 people should be considered.
The two hundred men of Tai Chi were the most famous, and they were a great disgrace to the Ming army!
After the war, the Ming army was completely destroyed on all sides, and its morale was so high that it had no generals worth mentioning except Wu Sangui, and no available troops.
Wu Sangui may still be a bit brave and capable, but at this time he is trapped in Ningyuan. As for the middle and rear, he is nothing more than a small general stationed there. At dawn, when Chen Bing entered the city, he only threatened him until he peed his pants, and then opened the city to surrender.
.
The Ming army had no fighting spirit and no bloody spirit. They just wanted to hide in the city to protect themselves and beg the Qing army to leave early. They didn't even have the intention to actively invite a fight. Why did they launch a sneak attack?
Even if you take ten thousand steps back, what's the point of fearing a sneak attack? There was no time when the Ming army didn't humiliate itself!
When he thought of the cowering look of the Ming army surrendering at Kaicheng, and of the Ming army and Ming people who suddenly ordered a bloodbath in the city and fled in panic, and finally fell into a pool of blood, Duduo couldn't help but become so enthusiastic that he even opened his mouth and laughed wildly.
, very scary in the dark night.
Li Yan of the Zhonghou Institute was sharpening his sword, Duduo was howling like a night demon by the Liugu River, and the little eunuch dozens of miles away was still marching, but it was different from before, his eyes were shining, and he touched the knife on his waist from time to time.
The imperial conferment is the blue bird.
I don’t know if it has ever been stained with blood, but the new master wants to sacrifice the sword with Tatar blood!
The infantry of the Qing army was burdened by baggage, and Duoduo did not ask for a rush march. It was like taking a spring break in the countryside. A fire dragon stretched for several miles, but they did not know that there was a dark cavalry ten miles away, sharpening their swords and waiting to be killed.
them.
Detectives were everywhere. Chang Yu wanted to ensure that he would not be discovered by the enemy forces ahead before taking action. In addition to marching silently in the dark, he sent a large number of detectives led by Kuang Ren to shoot and kill enemy spies when they encountered them.
They continued like this all the way, following for dozens of miles, and the enemy troops in front were completely unaware of it.
Reports came from the front that the Qing army had passed Chenjialing.
Chenjialing is ten miles south of the Yantai River, and the journey to Zhonghousuo is already more than halfway. According to their speed, they can reach the bottom of Zhonghousuo City at noon.
In Gongziying, the direct lineage troops trained by Chang Yu are all strong and strong. They have experienced the baptism of war. They are no longer eunuchs in the narrow sense. They are a strong army and extremely sharp!
The Black Panther Battalion, the original cavalry of the Jinwu Guards, was formed in Taiyuan. They are one of the best in the world. They are skilled in bows, horses, riding and shooting, and have great military exploits. Their commander, Jia Waixiong, is one of the best generals under the little eunuch.
The two battalions only had more than 500 men. One of the main reasons why the young eunuch dared to lead them to raid the Qing army's nearly 10,000 troops was that they were not border troops!
The fighting spirit of the border troops had long been crippled by the Qing army. Although morale had been boosted to a new high in recent years by the young eunuchs with continuous rewards, many people would feel uneasy and lack the will to fight if they used such a disparity in strength to sneak attack the enemy.
But the Gongzi camp was different from the Black Panther camp. They had no experience fighting against the Qing army before leaving the border. They had never suffered any losses and had no idea how powerful they were. Although they had heard how powerful the Qing army was, the young eunuch ambushed Abatai after leaving the border.
As the vanguard, one battle will set the morale of the army.
It turns out that the Qing army was nothing more than this!
What's more, they have been following the little eunuch, and his brain has been cleaned inside and out. They have great admiration and trust for the little eunuch. He said that the Qing army was vulnerable to a single blow. He said that five hundred people could be chopped into pieces.
The Qing army had six to seven thousand men, and they believed they could chop them into pieces!
He is the soul of these two battalions!
The point where they wield the sword is where they will strike, no doubt or hesitation!
Because the little eunuch always fights side by side with them!
