Besides, Chang Yu, who was on the bank of Beiyang River, heard that the Qing army was dispatching troops and led his troops across the river to the northwest to intercept them. As expected, he sneered in his heart and was convinced that Dorgon was about to escape.
You were awesome when you came, but why were you so timid when you left? This time I will definitely make you remember it. I will hit you until your muscles and bones are broken and you will know what pain is. Seeing if you still dare to enter the prison for a walk without any trouble, Chang Yu secretly expressed his anger.
, he had almost figured out Dorgon's thoughts: he just wanted to leave the border safely, and as for sending troops to attack the city, it was all smoke bombs.
In terms of military strength, the Ming army of more than 2,000 was slightly inferior to the Qing army, but in terms of morale, the fighting spirit was far from comparable to that of the Qing army. However, Chang Yu did not dare to be careless at all. After all, the Qing army's cavalry was too strong in field combat. It should be dealt with cautiously and with
Minimal casualties and crushing the opponent.
Field battles are face-to-face, and all tactics are just a show-off in the face of strong strength, so Chang Yu did not waste too much energy on tactics. He just told the generals to be flexible and cooperate with each other and not to go in alone.
Half an hour later, the heat subsided in the evening. Chang Yu led his troops to the northwest for more than ten miles. The villages they passed were all deserted. They occasionally saw corpses lying on the roadside. They thought they were civilians killed by the Qing army. The crowd became more angry and killed
The heart is stronger.
The scouts ahead reported urgently that the Qing army had reached five miles to the northwest and was blocked by the woods ahead.
"Prepare for war!" Chang Yu roared, put on his helmet and wore a ghost mask on his face, carried a long knife, clamped his legs, and the war horse galloped out with a long neigh.
After passing through the small woods, a long Qing army line came into view several miles away. It was obvious that the Qing army had also detected the presence of the Ming army and did not panic. Instead, they came galloping towards them on horseback.
"Array!" Chang Yu shouted. Two thousand Ming troops aimed their bows and arrows straight ahead. As the Qing cavalry rolled in, they vaguely saw a big flag with a big "hole" written on it.
Damn it, it can't be Kong Youde, Chang Yu frowned, thinking that this guy has appeared in too many scenes recently! This time I'm going to give him a hard punch and just fuck him, and watch him squirm.
While thinking about it, the Qing cavalry was already a hundred steps away. Chang Yu shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
A Ming army in the long snake formation heard the order and fired, and arrows fell into the Qing army's formation like rain. At this time, the Qing army's arrows also poured down. Chang Yu shouted, charge!
"Charge! Kill all the dog Tatars." Hao Yaoqi waved his sword and led more than a thousand cavalry in the past. Jia Wai Xiong led more than a hundred heavy armored cavalry under his command to head on from the left and right wings.
"Luo Shu, outflank him from behind!" Chang Yu yelled at Song Luoshu, who was eager to make a move. Song Luoshu grunted and led 300 fast cavalry to surround him from outside the battle circle.
"I'm going to catch a big turtle today." Chang Yu stared at the big flag of the Qing army and sneered again and again. He slapped the horse with his sword and led more than a hundred soldiers into the battle circle.
Chang Yu guessed right. The leader of the Qing army's troops in Linzi this time was Kong Youde, the scapegoat. Because of his previous negligence, Li Yan's reinforcements broke through the defense line, turning the Qing army's good situation into a mess. Not to mention that the duck was flying.
Even the main camp almost collapsed, so Dorgon had to order the withdrawal of troops and return reinforcements.
In fact, this is not considered an oversight by Kong Youde, but Dorgon needs someone to take the blame, and then this guy has no choice but to take the blame.
As Chang Yu, Li Yan and others expected, Dorgon decided to withdraw his troops and go north to leave the customs after discussion. However, he also knew that the little eunuch would never let him leave easily, and his camp was burdened by countless baggage.
They couldn't run fast, so a group of cobblers discussed it all night and decided to learn the tricks of the Han people and secretly attack Chencang!
The attack on Linzi attracted the attention of the Ming army, and then the main force quietly moved north to withdraw. Of course, the prerequisite was to block the surrounding news so that the Ming army's scouts could not detect the movements of the camp.
However, a cobbler is a cobbler, and Li Yan could guess what he was going to do as soon as he opened his mouth. It can be said that the original intention of sending troops to attack Linzi was to set off smoke bombs, but it became a ridiculous attempt to cover up the fact that there was no silver in this place.
What's more, they didn't expect that the Ming army had posted a lookout post on the top of the mountain. They couldn't understand small movements more than twenty miles away, but they could still detect clues about big movements.
Dorgon and others thought they had a complete strategy, so they urgently ordered Kong Youde to send troops to pretend to attack Linzi to attract the attention of the Ming army, and at the same time, they shouldered the rear cover to cover the retreat of the army.
When he came here, it was just this job that Kong Youde was doing, so he had no complaints. Moreover, Dorgon had promised him to make meritorious service for his crime. If he could cover the safe passage of the army, his previous mistakes would be wiped out.
Kong Youde was pleased, but he was also ruthless in his heart. Dorgon ordered him to pretend to attack Linzi, but he wanted to pretend to attack Linzi, but he wanted to do it for real and destroy the city and then kill all the chickens and dogs to vent his hatred!
And he is confident that he can do it.
After all, Linzi is a small town, and he concluded that the main force of the Ming army was resting in Qingzhou City after a battle the day before yesterday and was unable to rush to rescue, or that by the time you rushed to rescue, he had already broken into the city.
Dreams are always beautiful.
But the reality is very skinny!
Kong Youde, who thought he was unaware of ghosts, and Nikan, who was equally murderous and wanted to vent his hatred, never thought that when he led 3,000 troops out of the camp, he was discovered by Ming army scouts, and the young eunuch was already on the bank of Beiyang River.
I waited for him while enjoying the coolness under the shade of a tree.
The two of them walked slowly, thinking about how to destroy Linzi City as quickly as possible and how to massacre all the people to vent their hatred... The more they thought about it, the happier they became.
Unexpectedly, when they had walked nearly twenty miles, they suddenly heard a report from a spy: a Ming army had been detected in the southeast, and it should be coming from Qingzhou.
Kong Youde and Nikan suddenly changed their minds. Is there a purpose after meeting by chance?
When he felt a little hesitant, the spies reported again: about two thousand troops are really coming this way.
"Fuck, they are just here for us." Kong Youde sneered, and Nikan became angry: "Two thousand soldiers and horses just came to look for trouble, and our Qing cavalry are now reduced to paper!"
"No, the Ming army took advantage and thought they were invincible. They don't even know how to write death," Kong Youde said fiercely.
"Master Geng, you are the commander-in-chief. It is up to you whether to attack him or to wait and see what happens!" Nikan asked, staring at Kong Youde with an extremely ferocious expression.
"Since we have encountered each other, if we don't kill one, we will really be in trouble. If it is a heavy army, it will be fine. It is only a mere two thousand soldiers and horses. It is not too late to defeat them first and then attack Linzi!" Kong Youde pondered for a while.
, and made a decision.
The morale of the Qing army is low. They really need a victory to boost their morale. What a great opportunity now!
So Kong Youde gave an order, and three thousand Qing troops rushed towards them with murderous intent. In the blink of an eye, they saw the Ming troops arrayed several miles away, and they rushed over without thinking.
The two sides exchanged a hail of arrows, and directly clashed with their horses.
At the beginning, Kong Youde was confident based on his strong combat power and superiority in military strength. It was not until the two armies came into close combat that he discovered something was not right.
There are actually heavy armored soldiers in this Ming army!
Once bitten by a snake, he will be afraid of little eunuchs for ten years. Heavy armored soldiers are the symbol of little eunuchs, so he will not be here.
Kong Youde felt a little guilty. Firstly, he was really afraid of the little eunuchs. Secondly, the heavy armor soldiers were really difficult to deal with!
But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, not to mention that it had already been fired. If it were stopped at this time, it would be defeated and the consequences would be disastrous! Kong Youde suddenly felt his eyelids twitching. Damn it, there must be something wrong again.
