Li Laiheng finally left Kaifeng, and with him left Kaifeng, four divisions belonging to the Dianzhong Army, and the most elite Yulin Army in the Dashun Army.
This army is mighty and mighty, with bright uniforms and powerful armor. The flags stand as thick as the forests of South Vietnam, and the troops are as strict as Mount Tai. They wear blue military uniforms, white felt hats, and a little red tassel on Fan Yang's hat.
The crowns are all in an astonishing number, forming a scene of waves rolling forward and lapping forward.
This huge wave is the trump card in Li Laiheng's hand, and it is the confidence that he dares to say, "Be worthy of the late Emperor and His Majesty."
"mighty--"
The trumpeter of the Yulin Army blew the horn, and then the Jin King's Lu Buyi troops blew the huge conch shell. The knights with black and white feather crowns on their iron helmets at the front blew the charge horn.
The horse-killing warriors in front of the King of Jin all held swords taller than one person. They stepped forward and shouted repeatedly:
"mighty--"
"mighty----"
Before driving, the sound of the Ruisi was getting louder and louder, until it shook the frozen Yellow River. The white ice floes undulated up and down, and the occasional cracked ice surface also swayed left and right, and the river water was shaken to create ripples and ripples.
Immediately, a large group of Yulin Army knights wearing thick breastplates, holding yellow dragon banners, flew past. After that, there were groups of gunmen and artillerymen wearing cloth armors, carrying on their backs the weapons transported from Huguang.
Those who have recently arrived in the north carry a single-handed gun at their waist. Those who do not carry a self-made gun wear thick cotton gloves and dog-skin hats and work hard to push the artillery cart.
All Hongyi artillery were placed on suitable light artillery carts. The new design greatly accelerated the marching speed of the artillery team, and would not affect the speed of the army moving north to relieve the siege.
The wheels pressed through the knee-deep snow, leaving behind a series of ruts. Looking down from a high altitude, these dense tracks, black and pressed together, just show the majestic momentum of the army marching north.
"On the battlefield, time is a factor that determines victory or defeat. No matter what estimate you make, it is not too much."
For the first time in a long time, Li Laiheng put on the outfit that imitated King Chuang, a white felt hat with red tassels, a sky blue short archery jacket, and a long dark red cloak. Just for protection, he put it on over these clothes.
A sturdy piece of armor.
He held half an arrow and rode on horseback, looking sideways at this huge army. Thinking of Kaizhou and Dorgon's main force of the Qing army, he held the arrow in his hand and pointed it at the people who were approaching him.
Fang Yiren, Gu Junen and other counselors, as well as generals such as Guo Junzhen, Liu Fangliang, Hao Yaoqi, Zhang Piliu and Li Shiwei said:
"Including the Yulin Army, the Dianzhong Army has four divisions, and the Dianzuo Army has two divisions accompanying them. Plus a new division we have organized in Kaifeng, there are seven divisions in total, nearly
Eighty thousand troops.
There are tens of thousands of troops on the Kaizhou front line. Along the river, I think there are at least 130,000 to 40,000 troops of the Dashun Army that can be used for direct combat. This is no less than the battle of Harulu."
Gu Junen continued: "We have several secondary battlefields in Tongguan, Taiyuan and Shandong. In this decisive battle of Jiahe, both the Qing army and our army mobilized almost 300,000 horses. A total of 600,000 troops were mobilized.
The fighting in the north is a war that has not happened in hundreds of years since Hongwu’s Northern Expedition and Jingnan!”
Guo Junzhen and Liu Fangliang are both generals at the level of commander of the Dashun Field Army. They both have the ability to act independently and are now following Li Laiheng.
Guo Junzhen has a domineering personality, but he gets along well with the light-hearted Liu Fangliang. Both of them are intoxicated by the march and are excited for the upcoming decisive battle.
Li Laiheng stretched out his right hand, his five fingers became claws, clenched his fist tightly and said: "Seven divisions, seven divisions, it seems that with seven divisions in your hand, you can conquer the world!"
Fang Yiren sat on the horse and said: "King Kaiping said that one hundred thousand people can run rampant in the world. This is pretty much the truth. Such a field army, no matter what battlefield it appears on, can turn the tide and make the final decision.
."
"snort."
Li Laiheng raised the broken arrow high and stabbed it hard in the direction of Kaizhou: "Let's fight Dorgon!"
The frozen Yellow River has shown signs of gradually melting. But this is just a sign. There are still a small number of melted ice floes, and the majority are hard frozen ice surfaces.
The gray-white ice extends to the north, the river suddenly becomes turbulent, and the wilderness on the north bank is even silverier in color under the thick snow. The soldiers of the Dashun Army formed long columns and advanced in separate columns, transporting gunpowder and baggage.
The cart was driving in the middle of the queue.
Occasionally, dozens of light cavalry flew through the gaps in the infantry columns that stretched for several miles. The night warriors conveying military information reined in their horses and rushed forward. The white feathers on their heads seemed to blend with nature in the snow.
, almost flying into the sky erratically, making people mistakenly think that it is goose feather snowflakes flying.
The three-walled cavalry team, the main force of the Dashun Army, was arranged in a formation that was closer than the general cavalry march, but did not yet reach the level of a phalanx.
Countless war horses were advancing at a slow trot. Some knights did not ride horses, but dismounted and held the reins and walked. There were also some war horses that were originally prepared for use and did not carry anyone.
A rough estimate shows that there are as many as six or seven thousand war horses in Li Laiheng's field of vision. Most of the war horses come from the northwest, and they are all first-class Hexi horses that are strong and good at galloping. Their four hooves are thick and thick.
They flew across the thick snow, raising mist-like snow dust, forming a magical scene like a mirage.
Pale white snow mist and smoke are floating in the sky. The central team of the Dashun Army, Jin Wang Li Laiheng, Pingzhang Political Officer Fang Yiren, Military Government Secretary Gu Junen, the military power general Guo Junzhen in the palace, the military power general Liu Fangliang in the left palace... several people, etc.,
They all rode forward on horseback, and the scenery was magnificent and impressive.
Zhang Pizhu strode back from the front line. He held military information in hand and looked stern. It was obvious that the military trends on the front line were not optimistic.
Now the army has arrived in Yanjin. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought here 1,500 years ago. The mighty and powerful Yuan Shao had the upper hand, but was defeated by Cao Cao in Yanjin. General Wen Chou was killed in the formation, which cast a doubt on the decisive battle of Guandu.
Layers of ominous shadows.
When Li Laiheng saw Zhang Pili's expression, his heart tightened, and he immediately realized that his and Fang Yiren's speculations were likely to become facts. Has Dorgon's plot finally surfaced?
"Dorgon...Dorgon has withdrawn the siege!"
Everyone was surprised and shocked, except for Li Laiheng and Fang Yiren who remained calm. This situation was still expected by King Jin.
Gu Junen's five fingers grasped the reins tightly, and the veins on his hands bulged out obviously. Gu Shangshu, who was in charge of the Military Academy, had the best understanding of the military situation on the front line, and could even be said to be familiar with it.
When he learned that Dorgon had withdrawn from the siege, Gu Junen's first reaction was:
“Shandong is going to be in bad shape!”
Guo Junzhen also told Liu Fangliang: "Liu Guogong and Chief Rui are withdrawing from Kaizhou. Unless they flee back to Yandu, there is only one possible destination."
"Shandong..." Liu Fangliang said in a deep voice, "Is Dorgon crazy!?"
Li Laiheng took the military information document from Zhang Pizhu, which was the frontline military information urgently sent by Li Polu, the guard of Wei Hui Mansion. When the Dianzhong Army and the Dianzuo Army gathered in the Yanjin area on the north bank of the Yellow River, Dole
Gun's main force has disappeared from Kaizhou City!
