Besides, Dorgon, who was watching the battle in the camp, was all focused on the Qingzhou City due south. He saw his soldiers ascending the city and sneered. After working for more than half a month, he finally got it. This time, not even the hair of the chickens or dogs was left.
As for why he didn't go to the front of the battle to take command, in our words, a gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall. In fact, he was afraid of death. Stray bullets are ruthless. His father Nurhachi and his brother Huang Taiji were both killed and injured by shelling, so he didn't want to take risks.
So he stayed in the camp to watch the soldiers under his command fighting for him to attack the city and capture the territory. He was so happy when he saw that he was about to capture the center of the bag. He even started to insinuate himself with his old rival, the little eunuch, "Aren't you very awesome?"
Watching me destroy the city, Guizhou Donkey must be at his wits end. Apart from the few reinforcements from the west, what else can he do?
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but glance towards the southwest. There was still fighting over there. It looked very fierce, but it was useless. Even after smashing my head, I still didn't break through the defense line. It was all in vain!
"My lord, something is wrong!" The soldier beside him suddenly whispered.
Dorgon raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"
"Look." The soldier pointed toward the southwest. He saw the fire getting closer and closer in the distance, and the faint sound of horse hooves rolling. Dorgon frowned: It is unlikely that Kong Youde will return his troops at this time. Could it be...
"Prepare for war!" Dorgon shouted. He realized that the Ming army might be having trouble crossing the border, so he divided his troops to attack the camp. Unfortunately, the useless Kong Youde didn't stop him...
Unexpectedly, just as Dorgon finished speaking, he suddenly heard loud gunshots from the northwest behind the camp, and the sound of killings broke out. He was suddenly horrified: "What's going on? Go and see what's going on?"
"Report, Your Majesty, the Ming army is attacking the camp from the north..."... At this time, soldiers rushed to report. Dorgon was shocked and angry. How could the Ming army emerge from the north? Then he was startled: "Could it be those infantry...
How many?"
"Report to the prince, there are thousands of cavalry and infantry"
The cavalry, Dorgon was a little confused, but he had no time to think about it, because thousands of horses galloped towards him from the southwest...
"Welcome the enemy." As he spoke, Dorgon got on his horse and led his soldiers toward the south, whipping his whip, shouting loudly: "Return for reinforcements, it's a good thing to return reinforcements..."
You read that right, it was not Huang Degong's men who first attacked the Qing camp, but the three thousand musketeers of Shenji Camp!
Make the most of everything and use it for the longest time!
The combat effectiveness of the Shenji Battalion when facing the enemy is not worth mentioning, but the concentrated firepower to split the mountain and clear the way and sneak attacks are the fighting chickens in the attack!
It is said that after Wu Weiying led the Shenji Battalion across the river to suppress the Qing army with firepower and cover the large army crossing the river, he immediately withdrew from the battle circle, loaded up gun ammunition, and secretly walked north along the river to the northwest of the Qing army's camp.
It would have been a risk in normal times, but at this time, the fighting was raging in Qingzhou City, and it was a life-and-death battle on the Beiyang River. All eyes were focused on two places. No one cared about a cavalry sneaking away, not even the spies patrolling near the Qing army camp.
I only noticed it when it was several miles away, but it was too late!
In addition to the more than 400 artillerymen of the Shenji Battalion, the remaining 3,000 musketeers and 1,000 cavalry all participated in this sneak attack. After being discovered by the patrol, they rushed to the camp with lightning speed and fired rockets, almost instantly.
The Qing army camp was plunged into panic and fire.
What's even more annoying is that Shenjiying left immediately after shooting, without any sloppiness, a typical ruthless style of fighting!
After all, close combat is not their strong point. They only focus on disturbing the enemy, with the goal of withdrawing from the battlefield immediately. Next, it is time for Huang Degong's performance!
From the southwest, Huang Degong took the lead and led his troops to meet the Qing army less than two miles away from the main camp. Without saying a word, he smashed the head of the Qing army with an iron whip and cracked the brains of the Qing army. Then he raised his arms and shouted: "Peel down the enemy camp!"
"
The Qing army camp was attacked from both sides at the same time. The soldiers were so frightened that the captives in the camp screamed and ran for their lives...
"Resist the enemy, defend the enemy..." Commander Dorgon has fled to the south. The Qing generals who stayed behind organized troops to bravely fight against Huang Degong's troops. Although the Qing army only had less than 3,000 troops, they were Dorgon's personal soldiers and the most elite.
The fierce soldiers, whose combat effectiveness has always been unparalleled, even though they hurriedly responded to the battle in panic, they actually blocked the torrent of the Ming army!
But after all, the troops were at a huge disadvantage and were in panic. Even with strong combat power, they could barely stop the Ming army from entering the camp. They would inevitably lose to the enemy over time.
On the other hand, the morale of the Ming army was as high as a rainbow, and they were already red-blooded. They had only one goal: to kill all the Qing troops in front of them and crush the Tatar camp!
Kong Youde panicked and finally withdrew thousands of troops from the battlefield, so he chased after him in a hurry. It would be in danger if the camp lost his head!
It's just that... the Beiyanghe defense line, which was already under-strength, had to withstand Zhou Yuji's army of more than 20,000 people, but he had withdrawn nearly half of its strength. There were even more heavily armored soldiers digging into the mountains and clearing roads ahead, making the defense line in danger!
Besides, Dorgon ran away when he saw something was not going well, shouting wildly for withdrawal of troops and reinforcements. Shang Kexi, who was silent in the joy of victory, realized something was wrong. He took a quick look and almost lost his mind. There was a fire in the backyard!
But wouldn't it be a pity to withdraw the troops at this embarrassing moment? Shang Ke looked at the city head with joy and then at Zhengbei, and was confused in his heart, but Dorgon was rushed over and roared: "The city can't run away, can we attack again?
If the blind army comes and kills the camp, everything will be over. Do you not know what is more serious?"
So Shang Kexi gritted his teeth and ordered the Qing troops to withdraw from the north of the city and return to the reinforcement camp. He thought that the city was being attacked from all sides, and the battle was already like this. The withdrawal would have little impact. Maybe Duduo in the West City would break the city in the blink of an eye, and suddenly his heart tightened.
Dorgon ordered him to withdraw his troops and return reinforcements, but he didn't ask Duduo to withdraw his troops. Could it be that he was deliberately leaving the victory in destroying the city to him?
Who said they were brothers? Shang Ke secretly sighed with joy and personally led his troops back to the camp, but Dorgon stayed with more than a hundred soldiers by the Nanyang River to pay attention to the situation around him, but he began to feel irritable in his heart. What about him?
Kong Youde, a useless thing, had such a flaw, but it caused such a huge chain reaction, so much so that he had to withdraw all his troops to come back for reinforcements.
But it’s okay, I let my brother Duduo take advantage of it. He is responsible for attacking the west gate and it is also one of the main attack points. Shang Kexi has already entered the city, and there must be no delay over there. It is very possible to break through the west gate in one go. Poor
Shang Ke was so happy that he found the strength to make a wedding dress for him.
With thoughts in mind, I looked back and frowned more and more. A group of people came galloping towards me, but the leader was panicked Duduo. When he saw Dorgon, he shouted: "Brother Fourteen is not good, there is an ambush in the mountains of the Ming army."
!”
What the hell! Dorgon thought he was hallucinating, but when he saw that Duduo didn't look like a fool, he immediately looked horrified: "How many soldiers and horses?"
"The exact number is at least ten thousand, and they suddenly came from the mountains behind..." Duduo was so frightened that he trembled as he spoke. Dorgon, too, almost fell off his horse when he swayed: "The infantry, the infantry of the Ming Army...impossible.
Even if the little eunuch has the power to penetrate the sky and the earth, he still can't hide tens of thousands of infantrymen in the mountains without anyone noticing..."
"Brother Fourteen!" Duduo yelled: "You are still wondering what these are doing. Hurry up and mobilize your troops to block them. If they are allowed to kill you, you may be completely defeated... Hey, where are the commendable men and horses?"
"Old Fifteen! We may be in trouble again this time." Dorgon was awakened by Duduo's roar, but he was extremely depressed: "The Ming army in the north is attacking the camp..."
Ah! Duduo frowned and looked up, gritted his teeth and growled: What the hell...
