After Zhang Ruxing's group of troops set off, it didn't take long for Chu Chuang's young general Li Weiqun to follow with another group of Chu Chuang's direct troops.
Li Laiheng was not completely at ease with the Ming army's surrendered generals like Zhang Ruxing. Even if he felt affection for them, expressed his gratitude to them for benefit, and feared them for their power, he still could not guarantee complete reliability. So he had to make other arrangements and arrangements.
, prepare direct descendants like Li Weiqun to keep an eye on Zhang Ruxing to avoid any other accidents.
Li Weiqun is very young, and the soldiers under him are equally young. The soldiers who have just joined the front line still maintain the strongest fighting will and maintain a fresh sense of everything on the battlefield.
They could not help but want to see the enemy they had met for the first time in their lives. This was not so much out of indignation against the enemy as out of their own curiosity.
From this perspective, their vigilance is quite insufficient.
"Commander Li, what's going on with this general? Our commander-in-chief said we want to keep an eye on him, so I'm afraid he's not a thief, right?"
"Brother, don't say that. General Zhang turned out to be the commander-in-chief of the army. What a high-ranking official he was. In the past, he would have been someone we would never see in our lifetime. How can he be called a thief?"
"You damn high official, wasn't he beaten to pieces by the intruders and surrendered on his own initiative? He was just a surrendered general!"
"Quietly, softly!" Li Weiqun scolded, "Don't talk nonsense, just keep a close eye on me. Where does all this nonsense come from?"
The soldiers' morale was high and they were all ready to use their skills to fight the enemy to the death. However, they did not expect that during the war, when their comrades were fighting desperately on the Baigou River, they would be responsible for such a boring thing.
errand.
Several young soldiers who broke into the army couldn't help but sigh at this. They lowered their heads and lamented that they were not lucky enough to catch up with the fierce battle of Baigouhe, which made Li Weiqun feel angry and funny.
"Ahem, sighing all day long, what does it look like?"
"There are no enemies to fight, so we can only sigh!"
Li Weiqun looked at the young soldiers' expressions eager to fight, and thought of his friend Luo Bin who was killed by the Tatars before the Battle of Dangshan. If he had not died, he would probably be looking forward to fighting at this time!
"Boss Li! There seems to be signs of large groups of people moving ahead!"
The detective report sent by Ye Bushou made Li Weiqun increase his alertness, but he thought that he probably bumped into the invading army's team. It seemed that Gu Junen and Li Shiwei had already pulled the troops up, and they moved very quickly.
With this thought in mind, he originally planned to follow directly and go up to the peak with Gu Junen and others to explain the situation on the Baigou River front line. However, the training he received at Suiying Academy made Li Weiqun hesitate a little, and finally he decided to let Tanqi
After confirming the situation again and confirming that it was indeed the Chuang Army's troops, we then approached them.
Compared with Li Weiqun's caution, Zhang Ruxing, who was the former commander-in-chief of Tongzhou in the Ming Dynasty, had much simpler ideas. He also discovered the presence of a large group of soldiers and horses, but Zhang Ruxing considered that this was already the rear of Baoding Prefecture, and it was already quite a long way from the front line.
As for the distance, he didn't think much about it and immediately moved closer to the large group of soldiers and horses.
Zhang Ruxing was completely relaxed at this time. He even took off his helmet, thinking that he wanted to leave a good impression on that Gu Sima. This person was probably the Minister of War in the new dynasty in the future, right? He had to work hard to please him!
The old soldiers around Zhang Ruxing also followed the same example and were completely unsuspecting. They had strong curiosity and just wanted to see what the big shots of the new dynasty would look like in the future.
Before Zhang Ruxing could react, a strong and dense rain of arrows suddenly fell in front of them like a hailstorm.
Before the soldiers had time to figure out the situation, everyone could only scatter and try to find an obstacle to cover themselves. Some people hunched their bodies and boldly took a few steps forward, raising their arrows to look at each other, which confirmed this.
It is indeed a real arrow that can kill someone if the arrowhead is not removed.
"How is this going?"
At this time, there are still people who are confused about the situation, stupidly grabbing an arrow and looking around, trying to get a reasonable explanation.
Zhang Ruxing's subordinates all felt a little confused, and then a kind of sadness and anger lingered in their hearts. First they felt that they had been betrayed by the Chuang army, and then they thought that this was Li Laiheng's plan to kill the donkey?
But after a while, it wasn't until hundreds or thousands of Manchus appeared in front of them, and when the braids that were enough to block everyone's vision began to shake, they slowly realized... This, this seemed to be the Qing army
?
Zhang Ruxing had seen the power of the Qing army. The moment he saw the enemy's braids clearly, all his fighting spirit immediately disappeared. He did not bother to organize soldiers and teams to resist, he could only think of running away immediately, and finally ran away as fast as possible.
It is best to escape back to Baoding immediately, otherwise you will definitely die.
However, the Qing army's movements were much faster than his. Before Zhang Ruxing could escape, the Qing army's troops had already swept in. At the forefront of this Manchurian army was Irgun Jialo Ashan. He and Zhang Ruxing were equally confused.
, Ah Shan's troops, under the orders of Abatai, were responsible for detouring and attacking the rear of the invading army.
Abatai had high hopes for this Qing army. Not only did it have a strong force of about 9,000 men, which was more than Abatai had left at hand, but its leader was also known for his military prowess.
The famous Bo Hetuo, Bo Hetuo is Abatai's second son. It is precisely because Abatai believed that this roundabout army would make great achievements that he let his son take on this important task.
Other noble Manchu generals who assisted Bo Hetuo included senior generals like Ah Shan who had experienced many battlefields, as well as careful and wise generals like He Luohui.
They took advantage of the severe cold in this winter and walked south on the ice from the frozen Baiyangdian. They easily avoided the entire Baigou River battlefield and began to cut into the rear of the invading army in a roundabout way.
According to Abatai's instructions, Bo Hetuo, Ashan, He Luohui and others detoured back to their current position. It was already suitable, but they were ready to start dealing a heavy blow to the rear of the invading army.
However, they accidentally bumped into Zhang Ruxing's team, causing an unexpected change in the battle situation.
Zhang Ruxing was originally a timid general, otherwise he would not have surrendered to the Chuang Army so quickly. But Li Weiqun was a young talent in the direct lineage of the Chuang Army. Although he was only a low-level officer, he rarely commanded more than hundreds of people in his position.
Human strength.
However, based on Li Weiqun's rich combat experience, when the Chuang Army's detective cavalry confirmed the appearance of the Qing army and the size of its troops, he immediately realized that the Qing army's plan to attack the Chuang army in a roundabout way must not allow the Qing army to succeed!
Li Weiqun's first thought was to immediately break out of the encirclement and retreat northward, sending the news to Li Laiheng's central army. However, the Qing army had so many troops, and its huge team of thousands of people had already spread out, and the horizontal line was spreading. At this time, he was withdrawing northward, and it was very likely that he would be in the middle of nowhere.
During the pursuit, they were easily eliminated by the Qing army.
But look at the strength of the troops under his command...
He has only a few dozen cavalry, and Zhang Ruxing has only a few hundred soldiers. How can he resist the enemy? He can only try to break through!
The soldiers of the invading army have strong morale and passionate hatred for the enemy. Their momentum of conquering mountains and rivers is their biggest advantage compared to the enemy.
But the Qing army's advantages were in all aspects, and their advantage in military strength was even more irresistible.
Although Ah Shan did not understand the situation of a group of intruders appearing here, as a qualified Eight Banners general, Ah Shan immediately organized a cold and efficient attack, dealing a fatal blow to Zhang Ruxing's men.
The braids on the back of the heads of the Eight Banners soldiers were shaking up and down. They rushed over and made strange and unpleasant screams. All these funny scenes deeply frightened the hundreds of old soldiers who had temporarily gathered under Zhang Ruxing.
Few people can muster the will to resist.
The Manchurians galloped over, weapons dancing in their hands, and Zhang Ruxing's soldiers immediately fell down in rows. If He Luo, who was next to Ah Shan, had not been calmer and persuaded Ah Shan to keep some prisoners for questioning, then it is estimated that only the first
In one wave of attack, the Manchus could achieve total annihilation.
