"Have you forgotten what I told you before?" Dorgon glared at Duoduo: "Now is not the time to be impulsive. That little eunuch is so scheming. Did you know that he has dug a trap waiting for you? His heavy armored cavalry is
It’s powerful, but no matter how powerful it is, it’s hard for only a few men and horses to disperse our tens of thousands of troops.”
"But I couldn't be more angry if I let him harass me and do whatever he wants!" Duduo snorted. He didn't know why he became so murderous when he heard about the little eunuch. He was so full of hatred that he wanted to kill him with a knife. If it weren't for the Qing army's presence,
The people outside the Pass will not suffer heavy losses, the status of Prince Dorgon will not be shaken, and there is no need to risk entering the Pass.
"If you can't bear it, just endure it. If you can't bear it, you will mess up your big plans. When we return with a full harvest, we will fight with him as hard as he wants." Dorgon snorted angrily. Although he said this, he didn't want to draw the sword immediately in his heart.
Split the little eunuch in half.
Knowing that his master is more like a servant, Dorgon's face was livid, and the murderous look in his eyes showed that he was also ready to move in his heart. He was just holding back for a while for the sake of the overall situation. Kong Youde, the chief villain in the late Ming Dynasty, immediately took over: "Why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken? Prince
Just wait and see, let’s see the slave go and take care of that eunuch.”
Dorgon pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "If you cut through the mess with a random sword, you can kill the best one. If there is no chance to repel it, then that's it, and don't fight with it."
Kong Youde took the order, ordered the elite soldiers and left.
Looking at his retreating figure, Duduo laughed and said: "Kong Youde is the only one among the three kings. I like this slave. He is aggressive and bloody, which is in line with the folk customs of our Qing Dynasty."
Dorgon hummed, looked north and sneered without saying a word.
While the Qing army was moving south along the canal, a Ming army cavalry was also galloping along the Tonghui River from west to east. This cavalry only had more than a hundred, but all of them were brave and strong.
Wearing heavy armor and holding a long sword in his hand, he looked at the billowing smoke in the distance due east, his eyes becoming more murderous.
This cavalry is the four groups of soldiers led by Chang Yu: Gale Wind, Yunhui, Thunder and Lightning. They are also the most powerful soldiers under his command. After hearing that Dorgon was massacring the city and murderous, they came to pay blood for blood.
Some people may ask, why not just lead the army to kill the Qing army when they broke out of camp, but instead single-handedly poked the hornet's nest?
The reason is simple: the time has not come yet.
The main force of the Qing army heading south was the more than 10,000 cavalry, which was terrifying. Although Chang Yu also had tens of thousands of troops, except for the Jinwu Guards and Tengxiang Guards, who could still fight with nearly 20,000, Huang Degong and Jingying and
The tens of thousands of soldiers of the emperor's personal guards were exhausted in a battle last night, and most of them were infantry. Once the fighting started, it would be like losing their lives. It was broad daylight and if the Qing cavalry swept over directly, it would be an extremely brutal battle. No matter what,
You have to pay a heavy price whether you win or lose. This is not what Chang Yu wants.
This is also not what Dorgon wants. He doesn't want to fight with the Ming army at this time and lose both sides. How can he go deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty and plunder everywhere?
This bunch of Ming soldiers who don’t know whether to live or die.
Chang Yu, on the other hand, had to wait for all the troops to surround him and then hit him with a heavy punch.
So the current situation is very delicate, and both sides have a tacit understanding not to break the balance, for fear that if a fight breaks out prematurely, it will be a heavy price for everyone.
However, both sides of the small-scale conflict are eager to try!
This is the most direct way to vent your hatred and brighten your muscles!
"Mr. Factory Supervisor, spies have come to report that five miles southeast, the Black Panther Battalion and the others are fighting fiercely with the Tatars." Kuang Ren, the commander of the personal guards, rode forward with a murderous look on his face.
"How many people are there in the Tatars?" Chang Yu looked towards the southeast with a calm expression. Black clouds covered the sky and the sun was difficult to see.
"About two thousand troops," Kuang Ren said.
Chang Yu sneered: "Two thousand people can't eat Lao Jia and the others!"
The Black Panther Battalion led by Jia Waixiong and the Black Wolf Battalion led by Lao Jiu are both heavily armored cavalry, with explosive defense index and Hao Yaoqi, a powerful general. Although the Qing cavalry is powerful, they have similar strength.
It's impossible to eat them.
"But it's not easy for Lao Jia to eat them." Kuang Ren's eyebrows were a little solemn: "The Tatars seem to be unusual..."
Unusual... Chang Yu raised his eyebrows and suddenly thought of something. This kind of small-scale conflict is actually a fight to show off the strongest heavy armored cavalry. How can the Tatars show weakness? They will definitely send out their strongest cavalry.
Strong team.
It seems that Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu have encountered a difficult situation.
"Chen Suole, you... no, Kuang Ren, you lead the blast team to provide support first," Chang Yu immediately ordered.
Kuang Ren shouted loudly and led dozens of men and horses to rush away. Chang Yu had four groups of soldiers under his command. The blast group was mostly sharp archers. They were good at archery and could provide long-range fire support from the outside.
"Mr. Factory Supervisor..." Seeing Kuang Renji leave, the two brothers Chen Suole and Chen Ruxin couldn't hold back their anger. As the chief and deputy commanders of Chang Yu's bodyguard, they were unwilling to take second place.
More importantly, the two of them urgently need to prove themselves, because there is a common phenomenon in the army, which is to look down on those Jianghu people. Even though the Chen Suole brothers have superb martial arts skills, in the eyes of the tough soldiers, they are just juggling.
The real master is the one who rides and kills people like crazy, and can make them worship and surrender from the bottom of their hearts.
Chang Yu's bodyguards are all elite soldiers. You can imagine the inner pressure and anxiety of the Chen Suole brothers. Even though the two of them have practiced horse riding and archery since they joined Chang Yu's disciples, their daily actual combat experience on the battlefield
Not many, and the rebellious warriors under his command were not truly convinced by him.
"Follow me and kill the enemy!" Chang Yu knew what they were thinking, so he sneered, clapped his horse and ran towards the southeast, with three groups of soldiers under his command following behind and yelling.
Dorgon destroyed the city and marched south, with the Ming army sleeping soundly next to his bed. He could bear it but would not take it lightly. He set up several cordons ten miles away from the main march, especially to the west, there were more than a thousand soldiers and horses, just to
Beware of Ming army attacks.
The Ming army did not disappoint them. Not long after Dorgon set off a fire and left Tongzhou City, the Ming army's scouts began to approach. After both sides tested each other, the Ming army scouts conducted some reconnaissance and then left. They thought that was it.
It’s done.
Who knew that half an hour later, an alarm came out, that a Ming army force with about 2,000 cavalry was approaching within ten miles. It looked like it was looking for trouble, so the Qing army, which had been waiting for a break, immediately came to prepare for the battle.
This Qing army of only more than 2,000 people seems to be ordinary, but in fact it is the best of the best, specially prepared to deal with sudden conflicts. Its leader is Wu Erda, a general under the command of Obai, the most powerful general in the Qing Dynasty.
Urda was in his prime, with a strong back and a strong waist, and his strength was astonishing. The most eye-catching thing about him was his long beard with broken thorns, which looked like the ancient Han general Zhang Fei.
Ao Bai was shot to pieces by Tang Tong in a battle with the Ming army a few days ago. He was seriously injured, which made his subordinates hate the Ming army. As a confidant, Urda even dreamed of revenge. At this time, he heard the report
Heavy armored soldiers from the Ming army came, guessing that it was the young eunuch who had arrived in person. Urda was overjoyed when he heard this, and sent someone to inform Dorgon while leading his troops to fight.
The Ming army that came to harass was naturally composed of two heavy armored cavalrymen under Dongchang who came under the orders of Chang Yu, plus more than a thousand cavalrymen of Hao Yaoqi.
Unlike the heavy armored cavalry of the two battalions of Dongchang, Hao Yaoqi's men were regular cavalry drawn from Jinwu Guard and Tengxiang Guard. Although they set off at the same time, they were leading the way with light armor and fast pace. In addition, Hao Yaoqi was eager to make meritorious deeds.
It is very hard to build your own team.
Hao Yaoqi led more than a thousand cavalrymen under his command to lead the way for several miles. He first rushed towards Tongzhou City. When he was several miles away, he learned that the Qing army had arrived more than ten miles southeast of Tongzhou, so he immediately pursued it.
After walking a few miles, he encountered an outlying police post of the Qing army. After a fierce attack, the small group of Qing police posts retreated. As Hao Yaoqi pursued the victory, he saw thousands of Qing army reinforcements arriving in the distance.
He was about to fight, but he was stopped by several lieutenants under his command: "Sir, stay out of the way!"
"Get away from me, I can still be afraid of them..." Hao Yaoqi was furious. He was about to explode and scold these subordinates for disobeying orders, but his eyes caught a glimpse of the heavy armored soldiers from the Black Panther Battalion and the Black Tiger Battalion approaching behind him.
Then he suddenly realized that the reason why his subordinates stopped him from fighting was not because of fear of the enemy, but because there was no need to fight head-on. After all, the Qing cavalry was very powerful, and they would bear the brunt of the battle and suffer heavy losses. Since there were heavy armored cavalry, why not let them go first?
After all, their defense power is many times better than ours.
In this case, leave it to them to block the gunfire. Hao Yaoqi chuckled and led his troops to avoid the enemy's front with a wave of his hand.
