When Dorgon was furious, he was even more frightened by the little eunuch's methods. He was clearly behind him, but tens of thousands of reinforcements were moved from nowhere. This method was really unbelievable, and he was better than himself in the end, which made him actually fearful.
.
But what made him even more angry was Shang Kexi. How could such a sophisticated person be fooled so easily by Li Yan? If he hadn't been deceived by him and delayed the time, he would have easily broken through the siege when the battle started early in the morning. Fortunately, not only did he not jump out but also
He was beaten back, and at this time the little eunuch behind him had also caught up, and the situation immediately became extremely passive!
"The Ming army has always been cunning, and the traitor Li Yan was even better at it. King Zhishun failed to discover his treacherous plan for a while. This responsibility will be discussed later. Now we must send reinforcements as soon as possible to break out, otherwise it will be detrimental to the overall situation." King Sanshun agreed with Geng Zhongming
Quickly stand up and excuse Shang Kexi.
Dorgon snorted coldly. Of course he also knew that it was important to break out of the encirclement at the moment, but he was really disappointed with King Sanshun's recent performance. Although he was the regent of the Qing Dynasty at this time, there were undercurrents from all sides in the DPRK and his position was not
Wen Wen, not to mention his biggest rival Hauge, but also several other brothers who are openly and covertly at odds with him, and his biggest helpers are the three Shun Wangs besides his two brothers Dodo and Azig.
.
Because King Sanshun is the most obedient and wise enough to stay in line and whoever is the boss listens to whom. This is also the reason why Dorgon raided the entry point and took the three of them with him. He also knew the military, humanities and geography of the Ming Dynasty well!
However, the performance of the three people who had high hopes for them was really mediocre after entering the customs. Militant Kong Youde caught fish twice and was slapped in the face. Shang Kexi, who was as stable as a mountain, was tricked by monkeys. Geng Zhongming, who was deep and reserved, became angry just watching.
Qi returned to Qi, but Dorgon also knew that the settlement of accounts would have to wait until the autumn, so he should be busy farming now that spring had just begun, so he discussed with the generals and decided to send 5,000 troops to support Shang Kexin. Geng Zhongming asked Dorgon to fight and thought about it.
However, he was asked to go to the rear to assist Kong Youde in resisting the pursuit of the young eunuch, and he also ordered two young generals, Wakda and Mandahai, to lead troops to support the forward.
At the same time, he ordered the main force to march urgently, because the situation has become extremely serious. Not to mention the blocking of the road in front and the chasing troops behind him, he will be surrounded by the Ming army if he is not careful. What is more important is that Dorgon's troops are now seriously dispersed!
When he entered the pass, he had 30,000 cavalry. When he attacked the capital, he lost more than a thousand. In the battle with Huang Degong in the Luotuo Camp, he lost more than a thousand. When he broke through Tongzhou City, he divided his troops to loot and then destroyed the city and left south.
The soldiers and horses were plundering the surrounding areas and have not yet returned to their ranks. Now Shang Ke is pleased to have 8,000 troops as the vanguard. At this time, an additional 5,000 troops have been sent. Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming have taken over the rest. The main force is only enough to guard the captured supplies.
As for where are the more than 10,000 troops who have not returned?
In fact, when Dorgon burned Tongzhou City and went south, he had already ordered all the foreign troops to go south directly to return to the army. However, because most of them were looting in Sanhe, north of Tongzhou, on the east bank of the Chaobai River east of the Grand Canal, after receiving the military order, all the troops slowly went south, but after
At this time, they discovered that there were thousands of Ming troops following them in the rear. They were surprised and were hesitating whether to fight, when they received another military order, just go south. As long as the other party doesn't get too close and doesn't look for trouble, just leave them alone. Follow them if you want.
Naturally, these thousands of Ming troops came from Zhou Yu Ji's tribe, and the general was not satisfied with the orders of the foreign emperor. He discovered that when the Qing troops retreated southward from Sanhe, they resolutely pursued them without Chang Yu's military orders, and after several trials, they found that as long as they did not follow the Qing troops too close, they
The army left it to its own devices and followed the order without realizing it until they reached a land more than fifty miles due north of the Xianghe River, and the distance between the east and west of the little eunuch was nearly a hundred miles!
There was almost no conflict along the way, but Zhou Yuji felt as if a huge stone was weighing on his heart. He had received information that the main force of the Qing army had left Tongzhou and headed south. It would take at most two or three days to reach Xianghe where Li Yan was located. The war would be about to break out at that time, and he
This fashion was dragged by the Qing army dozens of miles away, which would probably delay the fighter plane.
His subordinates had been irritated for a long time and urged him not to fight with this Qing army. Zhou Yuji thought about it again and again but finally refused. Firstly, he did not dare to act without military orders for fear of messing up Chang Yu's plan. Secondly, almost the same amount of troops could not defeat these troops.
The Qing army, although these Qing troops had to escort the looted supplies, some soldiers even had their horses covered with chickens and ducks squawking!
However, at noon, Tan Ma sent an urgent message: The governor ordered us to move quickly at all costs!
Zhou Yuji was shocked. There must have been an accident ahead, otherwise the young eunuch would not have used the word "at all costs"! If someone else, such as Liu Zeqing and others, would naturally find various reasons to stand on the wall and watch the wind.
move,
But unlike Zhou Yuji, he and Chang Yu fought side by side in Taiyuan and established a kind of trust that outsiders could not feel, the kind of trust that could be entrusted with life!
Go ahead! Zhou Yuji mobilized to prepare for war, and several of his anxious subordinates only said six words: at all costs!
Although I know I am outmatched, I still regard death as home!
Unexpectedly, just when Zhou Yuji's troops were sharpening their swords and preparing for a bloody battle, the scouts from the front came to report: There was a sudden movement of the Qing army more than ten miles away. His troops only left more than 2,000 escorts and baggage to move slowly, and the rest broke out of camp and rushed away!
This is good news, but also bad news!
Zhou Yuji knew the combat effectiveness of the Qing cavalry. When the two armies were equal in strength, he had no chance of winning in a field battle. But at this time, with only 2,000 troops, he had a good chance of winning.
But most of his troops suddenly broke camp and left, which means something big happened in the south! No wonder the little eunuch asked him to go south at all costs. It seems that both sides are mobilizing troops. That is the main battlefield. Whoever gets there first will win.
The odds of winning are even better!
The situation was so urgent, how could Zhou Yuji dare to neglect him and issue an order to lead his troops to kill him!
Zhou Yuji's prediction was true. The situation had indeed reached its most critical moment. Chang Yu urgently ordered him to go south to Dorgon and also mobilize external troops to support him. After all, the troops around him were all but depleted by that damn little eunuch.
Now both sides need to gather forces, but Dorgon is more anxious than the little eunuch. The originally good situation has turned into a bubble in an instant. At this time, the roadblock in front is getting stronger again, and the hungry wolf behind is biting hard.
No matter what happens before or after this, the outcome will be disastrous.
If the front cannot rush out, it will be encircled. If the rear is bitten, the front troops must return to support, and they will also be encircled. This is Dorgon's biggest headache.
But Dorgon was obviously more worried about the front. After all, the main force of the Ming army behind was far away from each other and was mainly infantry. Although the young eunuch's subordinates were brave, their strength was less than 2,000. If the army went deep without support, no matter how brave it was, it would not be possible.
He can't even touch his trousers, unless this guy magically turns into reinforcements.
Wait for the Ming army in front to be defeated, jump out and take care of you slowly! Dorgon was worried about the battle ahead and couldn't wait to slow down the baggage, leading hundreds of his own soldiers to fight with Duduo to supervise the battle. He wanted to see Li Yan
How to stop the Qing cavalry from advancing this time!
Shang Ke, who was resting in the north of Xianghe City, was as expected. The reinforcements came very quickly, but when he saw the general leading the army, he suddenly smiled bitterly. Is the regent trying to win over Baelor's lineage, or he thinks this place is not chaotic enough!
Dabeile is Daishan and a supporter of Hauge. Countless of his sons are prominent figures in the Qing Dynasty, such as Yue Tuo and Shuo Tuo. They are all famous and powerful figures in the Qing Dynasty, but they have all died in the war for many years.
The good deeds were almost over, but even so, Dorgon still brought his two other sons, the fourth son Wakda and the seventh man Dahai, with the army when he entered the pass this time. It was gratifying that he was ordered to lead his troops to support him at this time.
You must know that Li Yan is blocking the road in front, and this battle will be tragic if he returns to his death. Dorgon sent two people here, which makes people think a lot, and there are people here who are at odds with these two brothers!
Nikan, the eldest son of Nurhachi, and the third son of Chu Ying! Chu Ying was the prince and was killed by five ministers and brothers. Among them, the one who took the lead and shouted the most fiercely was the second eldest brother Daishan!
As expected, when Wakda and Mandahai came to Shang Kexi and saluted, Nikan looked disdainful and said, "Why don't we have no one in the Qing Dynasty? All cats and dogs can lead troops!"
The two Wakda brothers were furious when they heard this, but they did not dare to contradict them. Firstly, the Daishan family was now sparsely populated and they were Dorgon's mortal enemies, so they had to be cautious, and Nikan was Dorgon's man. Secondly,
In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, where the hierarchy was strict, the seventh man, Mandahai, was just a shellfish, and the fourth child, Wakda, was not even a shellfish, so I didn’t dare to quarrel with him!
But Shang Ke was not used to Nikan, and glared at him: "Don't cause trouble. The most important thing now is to defeat the enemy. If you don't do your best, you know what will happen to us!"
Nikan snorted and said nothing!
Shang Kexi ignored him and turned around to ask Mandahai something. Hearing that the young eunuch behind him was chasing after him alone, he couldn't help but sneer: "It's okay, it's okay! Everything is still in time."
