But when Azig came back to his senses, he was not afraid or anything like that. Instead, he was very excited and immediately ordered the entire army to assemble and prepare for battle.
One of the main purposes of leading his troops deep into the Guanning front line this time is to test how strong the Ming Dynasty's so-called strong army is!
But now, he finally waited for reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty. If they were not strong enough, they would not send them. They must be the Ming army that participated in the Battle of Jizhou.
Then, just weigh it!
Anyway, if you bring all the cavalry with you, if you can't beat them, just run away!
Besides, you may not be able to defeat him!
Azig's men, except for those Jianlu who participated in the Battle of Jizhou, other Jianlu were eager to try when they saw the appearance of the Ming Dynasty cavalry. After the military order was passed on, they all gathered to prepare for the battle.
On the top of the city guard in front of Guangning, the already desperate defenders burst into tears when they saw the Ming Dynasty cavalry appear!
At this moment, looking at those brothers wearing red military uniforms, I feel closer than seeing anyone else!
They shouted one after another. No matter what the result was, the first one to shout at this time was: "The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
The loud shouts aroused the hatred of many Jianlu.
But for the time being, they have no choice but to defeat the Ming reinforcements first.
Before Wu Sangui could think of it, he saw Jianlu's main force here and rushed forward.
He also hurriedly ordered the entire army to stop advancing and take precautions.
It was getting dark, and having to run hundreds of miles in one breath was not a good time for fighting.
Azig looked at the dust kicked up by the Ming army and the Ming cavalry that kept appearing, but he did not immediately order an attack because he couldn't figure out how many Ming reinforcements had arrived?
The rumble of horse hooves never stopped.
More and more Ming cavalry appeared in Jianlu's field of vision. Flags fluttered in the wind and made a hunting sound.
Until it got dark, the sound of horse hooves still did not disappear.
This situation made Azig's face finally darken.
At this time, he didn't know whether the Ming cavalry was really so numerous, or whether it meant that the cavalry just used the cover of night to secretly return, and then pretended to be reinforcements and continued to appear one after another.
Originally, he didn't have to worry about this kind of thing, as the detectives would report the situation to the Ming Army.
However, this time, a large-scale cavalry army came to cover up the enemy, and there were no detecting horses. The whereabouts of Turg who was sent out are now unknown. It seems that the situation is definitely in danger!
I looked up at the sky and wondered if it was going to snow. The clouds covered the sky. When it got dark, I couldn't see clearly what was happening in the distance.
A war under such circumstances is definitely not easy to fight. We can only wait until dawn and then decide how to fight based on the situation?
Or whether to retreat depending on the situation!
Fortunately, there is a military camp on his side, Azig thought to himself, and ordered half of his men to rest first. However, if there is a situation, he can act immediately if he is still in uniform.
Under the howling cold wind, neither man nor horse could stay alert all night.
But on the side of the Ming army, it was much better than the Jianlu army. They had former garrison guards to rely on!
The entire Qiantunwei area was brightly lit and bustling with people.
The people in the Acropolis boiled hot water and steamed buns, and sent them to the Ming cavalry who formed an array around the city.
The steady sound of horse hooves, at this moment, in their eyes, is the most beautiful sound in the world!
However, this voice made Jianlu very disgusted.
As time went by, the voice never stopped. Even if they knew that the voice of the Ming Army was likely to be fake, it made them more and more worried!
What if these voices are not fake!
How many troops will the Ming Dynasty’s cavalry have?
Thirty thousand, forty thousand, fifty thousand, or even one hundred thousand?
No matter how bad the Ming army is, their cavalry are all at the level of servants. When the number of soldiers is too large, even the brave Jianlu will feel uncertain!
Originally, when the Ming cavalry arrived, there were still many Jianlu who were eager to try.
However, as time goes by, there are fewer and fewer such Jianlu!
Even later, almost all the Jianlu were worried.
Those Jianlu who were taking turns could not sleep either!
The rumbling sound of horse hoofs was like the voice of King Yama urging people to die. How could they sleep peacefully?
Azig, who was lying in the tent with a blanket covering his body, was also unable to sleep.
I was even annoyed by the constant sound of horse hooves, so I yelled: "These smart dogs can only do deception. This is definitely a conspiracy!"
Although he said so, in fact, he was still a little worried. After waiting for so long, there was no movement from the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty. After they appeared for so long, was it because they were gathering an army?
Thinking about it this way, Azig felt that it made more and more sense.
Generally speaking, one Qing warrior can defeat three Ming dogs, and a thousand Qing warriors can defeat five thousand Ming dogs. It is impossible for Ming dogs not to know this situation.
But now, if they dare to come for reinforcements, their strength must be several times that of the Qing army. Otherwise, they will come to die!
If it really takes several times the military strength to come here, then I will definitely not be able to defeat it, so it is best to withdraw to Jinzhou first!
However, if the Ming cavalry took advantage of the night to raise suspicions, but the number of troops was actually not large, and then scared themselves back, let alone whether the emperor would spare him or not, just this embarrassing face would be enough to save him in the future.
Raise your head before whom?
Then Hauge probably laughs at himself every time they meet, right?
Thinking of this, Azig strengthened his determination. He waited until dawn and saw the situation of the Ming army clearly before making his decision.
If it is really difficult to fight, he is a cavalry army anyway, and no one can stop him when he returns to Jinzhou!
However, it was not yet midnight, and suddenly there was the sound of rapid footsteps outside the camp, and then a bodyguard quickly led a scout horse inside and reported to Azig: "Your Highness, it's not good, the White Army Army
Appeared in Ningyuan City and cut off the road to Jinzhou!"
"What?" When Azig heard the news, he jumped up from the cot in fright, stared at the detective horse in front of him, and shouted sternly: "Where did the White Army come from? Isn't the White Army at Shanhaiguan?"
This news has been clearly heard, whether it is the information collected before or from the prisoners of the Ming army who were captured alive this time. The main force of the Ming army in Shanhaiguan, or the army that can make the Qing Dynasty a little more fearful, is that
The old woman led more than 10,000 white pole troops. And this white pole army was stationed in Shanhaiguan, the most important place. Why suddenly, it was said that the white pole army had gone to Ningyuan, and it was also cut off from Jinzhou.
way!
"Back to Your Highness, the White Army seems to... seem to have passed by the sea!"
When Azig heard this, he was stunned.
Sea? Yes, sea!
The Ming Dynasty was so big that it was not impossible to collect ships to transport troops northward!
Now the Baigan Army went north first, and then an unknown number of Ming Cavalry appeared here. They wanted to encircle and annihilate their own army!
When Azig thought of this, he suddenly panicked!
Unexpectedly, there was either no movement from the Ming army. If there was any movement, it was the movement of forcing oneself to death!
We were wary of the fact that the Ming Dynasty had a strong army and was difficult to fight, but because the Qing Dynasty had no navy at sea, we missed that the Ming army might also take a detour from the sea!
But now, the damn white-pole army has taken a back road!
Those barbarians with long poles are the ones who don't know whether to live or die. They are all one-minded, cannot be captured, and will not retreat even if they die.
Thinking of this, Azig became even more panicked.
He quickly ordered: "Send the order, tell all those who are resting to stop resting, wrap the horses' feet in cotton cloth, and prepare to evacuate."
After a pause, he ordered again: "Tell Kong Youde to come and see me!"
Orders were issued one after another, and Azig did not dare to stay here any longer.
Taking advantage of the cover of night, we should retreat first and buy time to penetrate the Baigan Army's defense line before the Ming cavalry attack, so that we can escape back to Jinzhou!
However, to be able to do this, there must be troops left here to create signs that the main force is still there. Otherwise, the Ming cavalry will inevitably pursue them. In that case, they will be attacked from both sides and it will be impossible to escape back to Jinzhou.
As for the troops left here, they must have abandoned their troops. For this reason, Azig immediately decided to keep the Han army led by Kong Youde without even thinking about it.
Soon, Kong Youde received the military order and hurriedly came to see him.
As soon as they met, Azig said to Kong Youde affectionately: "I heard that your daughter is virtuous and capable. I would like to make her my daughter-in-law. What do you think?"
"..." Kong Youde was stunned when he heard this.
He never expected that under such circumstances, he thought he was discussing some urgent military situation, but he didn't expect that the Prince of England only mentioned what his daughter could do. What did this mean?
"What, you're not happy?" When Azig saw that Kong Youde didn't respond, his face changed, and he immediately turned against him and shouted coldly.
When Kong Youde saw it, he quickly replied: "Your Highness values such a thing, I am naturally very happy, but my daughter has just turned eight years old and has not yet..."
Upon hearing this, Azig immediately interrupted and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's settled..."
After hearing this, Kong Youde wanted to say more, but Azige didn't have the time to write it down, so he immediately changed the subject and said: "Now that we are sons and daughters, we have something important to tell you. Don't refuse!"
When Kong Youde heard this, he knew that this was the highlight!
However, he was also a little strange. Azig was not so particular before. If something happened, he could just give an order, so why did he need to win over him in advance?
While he was thinking about it, he heard Azig say to him in a cold voice: "You lead your troops and pretend that the main force is still there. I will lead the main force and retreat secretly first, and then find a place to ambush. Wait until daybreak, you
If he leads his troops to retreat again, the Ming army will definitely pursue him. When the time comes, I will kill him to catch him off guard and annihilate the Ming army in one fell swoop!"
