Huang Degong's face was solemn on a roof in the Luotuo Camp. There were fires all around and the sound of killings filled the sky. He looked at the fire due east and frowned: "How can the bastard Tatars be so calm?"
He used all his infantry and cavalry forces to hold back Azig's five thousand cavalry. He used village street fighting and pre-ambushed commanding heights to suppress the Qing army's upper hand with bows and arrows, trying to lure the Qing army to come to the rescue. However, the opponent's general allowed him to Sit firmly on the Diaoyutai despite the rising wind and waves, and remain unmoved!
"My lord, the Tatars have been tricked by the little governor. If they don't take the bait, our plans for this afternoon may be in vain," Weng Zhiqi muttered from the side.
Huang Degong snorted: "The little eunuch is very clever, but I am not a vegetarian either. It depends on my methods."
People are all contradictory. Huang Degong, a young eunuch in the inner palace, admired Chang Yu very much. He led his troops to fight from the west to the north and then to the south. He turned the tide and was invincible. All generals who led the troops deeply admired him, but they were very not very. Convinced, a little eunuch from the inner court who had never fought in a war and appeared out of thin air could win many battles. This made them, veterans of the bloody battles in the north and south for decades, extremely embarrassed.
But why does the little eunuch win so many battles? In addition to his unique ability to mobilize the best resources as soon as possible, and the fact that his special status is not constrained by any factors, he does have two skills, the flexibility of his troops and the insidiousness of his troops. Rarely seen in the world!
"Sir, do you want to take action in advance and open your face to confront the Tatars? Forget it, with the help of those in the Beijing camp, at least we have superior strength and the cover of night, at least we can guarantee that we will not suffer any losses." Weng Zhiqi raised an eyebrow and said.
Huang Degong laughed and said, "That's nonsense. If we are so hard-line, why should I go through all the trouble?" He looked around and said, "Withdraw the troops."
Weng Zhiqi was startled: "Sir, why is this?"
The Ming army took advantage of its superior strength and used village street fighting to ambush the Qing army. The Qing army once had the upper hand, but suddenly withdrew its troops and retreated. This move even confused Huang Degong's generals. It is conceivable that Duduo, who was watching the battle from a distance, was confused at this time. .
I don't understand, I don't understand why they suddenly retreated.
"Old Fifteen, Ming dog is about to escape, why don't you give the order to chase it!" Azig was as happy as a forty-year-old child when he saw the Ming army retreating. He howled and hurriedly urged Duduo to give the order.
However, Duduo, who was regarded by Emperor Qianlong as the warrior with the greatest military exploits among the founding kings, was very calm. To be precise, he was troubled because he couldn't figure out whether the Ming army's move was true or false.
As early as in the afternoon before he sent out troops, he discovered that the Ming army had more than 20,000 troops here. However, there were only 5,000 cavalry who performed foreplay at Liangma River before. He guessed that the rest had either escaped long ago or were hiding in an unknown place. , at this time it was confirmed that the remaining Ming army forces used the villages to deploy a bureau to entangle the Qing army.
But after the observation just now and the reconnaissance of the soldiers, we learned that the total strength of the surrounding Ming army here is only more than 10,000. In other words, the Ming army must still have back-ups waiting for him to trap him.
After he saw through the Ming army's attempt, he was no longer anxious, and was even very proud. Did he really think that our Qing generals were all rude and brainless people who were deceived again and again?
So Duduo watched the Ming army's performance with great interest. He wanted to see how long the Ming army's drama would go on. As for the five thousand cavalry who were trapped in the village street fighting, he didn't feel bad at all.
After all, this is not a real street battle in the city. In addition to the constraints of riding in the village, the restrictions on the fields between the villages are extremely small. The Ming army's upper hand at this time is just relying on the superiority of troops, and it is only the upper hand. If they want to defeat the Ming army,
The army is afraid that it will have to pay a heavy price.
However, the Ming army suddenly withdrew its troops in a hurry, which left him confused and confused. Did he not want to lose both sides and accept it as soon as possible, or did he want to lure the enemy deeper.
Looking at the dark night sky, Duduo was confused whether to pursue or not. If it were daytime and he could see clearly, no matter how many Ming troops there were, he would have chased them. But now it was dark and he didn't understand the surrounding terrain and the situation.
The cavalry may not be much advantageous in fighting with the infantry, and it is not even as flexible as the infantry!
Furthermore, if all the known strength of the Ming army were here, he would not hesitate to rush over. However, he knew that there were still soldiers and horses in the Ming army who had not shown up. Where were they?
Having left early, it was better to lay an ambush in the front. Duduo believed that if the Ming army could ambush one move in the village, then there might be a second move or even a third move from behind.
"Old Fifteen, do you want to pursue me or not?" Azig saw that the Ming army was retreating quickly, and with the cover of night, he would not be able to catch up even if he tried to do so.
"Report, Your Majesty." A few miles to the southwest, Liangma found an ambush of the Ming army in Hanoi. At this moment, there was an urgent report from the scouting horse. Duduo was startled, and then he was overjoyed: "I know what Ming Gou Liu is doing!"
Then he said to Azig who looked stunned: "Brother Twelve, I expected that to be true. If we had all rushed into the village before, or had just chased after us, we would have been rounded up by others now."
"This Minggou is really insidious," Azig said angrily, and suddenly said: "Since they want to draw us all into the war circle, why did they ask for a fair fight of five thousand versus five thousand when they invited a war in the east?
At that time, we were ready to rush over at once."
Duduo laughed: "That's because they know that if we use all our troops, we won't have to cross the river at all. At most, we can kill his five thousand men in just a cup of tea. They won't even have time to stage this painful trick of luring the enemy in.
”.
"I see, I regret that I should have listened to you." Azig gritted his teeth and looked at the approaching fire a few miles to the southwest: "Now that they have all appeared, they will all be punished this time. Lao Twelve ordered the troops to be sent. Look.
Brother, how can I kill all these bright dogs today?"
Duduo snorted, and was about to order all the troops to sweep all the Ming troops within a few miles, when he suddenly raised his eyebrows and said to Azig: "Get back!"
"What, why are you withdrawing your troops? Everyone is showing off their swords... Is it just because Ming Gou has more troops... Lao Fifteen, why are you so cowardly?" Azige was so angry that he almost gave up his horse.
Fall off the back.
"Brother Twelve, why do you explain why the army suddenly withdrew and the ambush suddenly appeared again?" Duduo turned around and asked.
Azig was startled by his question. He thought for a moment and then said: "They withdrew because they couldn't defeat us, or maybe they felt that the losses would outweigh the losses for both sides. As for the sudden appearance of those ambush soldiers, it was because they were discovered by our scouts."
"The reason for the withdrawal may be as you said, but it is absolutely impossible for the ambush troops to appear because they were discovered by the detective horses. All ambush locations are the most heavily guarded places. Not to mention that the detective horses cannot easily approach, even if they can escape to deliver the message.
"There are a few." Duduo squinted and sneered: "So this is another trick. The Ming army deliberately retreated to lure us to pursue them, and then used ambush troops to surround them. But when it didn't work, they let the ambush troops take the initiative to show up. The purpose is still to attract us.
Go over and fight..."
"So, since Ming Gou wants to lure us to fight, let's just go. Why don't we still be afraid of him?" Azig hurriedly interrupted Dodo.
"But the Ming army knows that the cavalry in the field is not our opponent, and even if it has the advantage of strength, it is vulnerable, but why does it take the initiative to fight with us?" Duduo couldn't help shuddering as he said it, and looked around: "The only explanation is that either
There is still an ambush, or... we are already surrounded by them at this time, so we should retreat immediately!"
"Ah, we are already surrounded. It can't be possible. You have been watching here all the time..." Azig looked confused, but before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard loud killing sounds from behind the formation in the east, which made him even more chilled.
What's more, there are dense muskets and rumbling cannons!
"You bastard, we have fallen into a trap again!" Azig looked filled with grief and anger: "Old Fifteen, get out quickly..."
Azig had no time to think about why the word "you" was used. Duduo was also panicked. The fire in the southwest was getting closer and closer. The Ming army that had just withdrawn due to the west returned to kill the carbine. Flowers bloomed on the back of the butt due to the east.
