Chapter 92: The Eastern Cavalry Takes the Bait

Zhang Tuanzhu saw that there were fewer and fewer people under his command.

At this time, he realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked Wu Sangui for instructions, wanting to quickly withdraw from the battle.

Wu Sangui also felt that something was wrong, but the visibility of the valley was too low, and they couldn't see the specific situation around them at all.

He could only raise the monoscope again, and suddenly noticed that the black-armored iron riders had changed again.

Each of them actually carried a mysterious thing on their faces, completely unafraid of wind and sand.

In fact, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, glasses have appeared, but they are not popular, and ordinary people can't use them, and they don't know about them at all.

"Duoduo, this bastard, Lao Tzu said that there was an ambush, but he still desperately urged the battle and retreated."

Where to retreat, their back road has long been blocked by the Xuanjia Army.

There are even more fatal things, after reflexively, the wind and sand blow straight to the door, and I can't open my eyes, how to rush to break through.

These Guanning rebels were all miserable, and they all felt a helpless despair.

Li Cunxiao took out the telescope and looked around, although the visibility was very low.

But his telescope is made systematically, and the effect is far from being comparable to Wu Sangui's single-barreled telescope.

You can still see it at a distance of two or three hundred meters, and you don't need to be too clear, you just need to be able to distinguish between the enemy and us.

Suddenly, a bright smile appeared on Li Cunxiao's face.

He saw the rebels' command center, and it was two hundred paces ahead of him.

"Haha, is this God helping me, or the emperor's blessing, I actually ran into the rebel command by mistake, and the soldiers rushed to the rebel command center with the general."

"Yes, kill the rebels and destroy the traitors."

Li Cunxiao's legs clamped the war horse fiercely, and the four hooves of the flame horse waved quickly, rushing out of the distance.

Ben Wu Sangui's place rushed over, and the four hundred iron horsemen followed closely with their swords held high.

At this time, Duoduo was also watching the battle ahead through the single-barreled telescope.

Shanhaiguan is already in his hands, in order to avenge his own Niu Lu.

Even if he spelled out Wu Sangui's Guan Ning army, Duoduo wouldn't care.

Don't look at Dolgon, he values Wu Sangui very much, but Duoduo naturally looks down on the Han people, and he doesn't have much interest in Wu Sangui.

Compared with Niu Lu under his command, Wu Sangui is nothing at all.

The Eight Banners of the Eastern Capture were prepared, 300 cavalry were one Ox Record, and five Ox Records were one Jia Lae Zhen.

The five Jiala are a solid mountain, that is, a flag.

The personnel allocation of each flag is not the same, there are more or less, and the number of soldiers is mainly determined by the number of soldiers.

Like the Yellow Banner under the command of Dolgon, there are 25 cattle records.

However, there are only 15 cattle under the yellow flag under the command of Duoduo.

The source of the exiled troops from the east is the biggest problem that plagues their development.

Due to the shortage of some flag personnel, they simply could not raise enough money.

Therefore, the Eight Banners of the Eastern Capture, the real purebred cavalry, only about 60,000.

Definitely one less to die, they simply can't afford to fight a war of attrition.

Once you know the reason, you can understand what the destruction of the three bulls means to Duoduo.

"Report to the prince, there is a fierce battle ahead, and due to the sudden strong wind, the outcome of the battle is unpredictable." ”

"It's windy, didn't we grow up in this climate?

Such a good opportunity to destroy the opponent must not be allowed to slip away.

The king ordered that all the warriors with yellow flags attack, aiming for the valley in front of them. ”

Duoduo gave an order and led twelve Niu Lu and 3,600 Eastern Capture warriors to support Wu Sangui.

Don't look at these twelve Niu Lu, there are only more than 3,000 people, and they almost all won in the field battle with the Ming cavalry, and they all won more with less.

More than thirteen cavalry galloped into the ambush circle set up by Qi Jiguang.

Don't simply think that the Ming Dynasty can rely on advanced firearms and Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to eat the Eight Banners.

That also has to pay a price, Qi Jiguang can fight like this, which can reduce the casualties of the Ming army to the least extent.

You must know that these are all summoners from the Ming Dynasty, and one less one dies.

Seeing the Eastern Capture cavalry entering the ambush circle, Huang Ming immediately ordered:

"Quick, aim all the guns behind the Eastern Troopers, once they retreat, bombard me all to death, run away and you all go home and farm."

Okay, Qi Jiguang threatened Huang Ming when he gave the order, and now Huang Ming has begun to threaten the artillery again.

These artillery pieces are all systematically manufactured, isn't it a joke to let them go home and farm, it is tantamount to going back to the pot and rebuilding.

Two hundred tigers squatted on the cannons, and the muzzles of the black holes were immediately aimed at the retreat of the Eastern Cavalry, ready to fire at any time.

Two thousand flintlock muskets were also aimed at the retreat of the Eastern Cavalry.

As long as the Eastern Cavalry retreats, this will be the place where they will die.

Shanhaiguan

After Wu Sangui and Duoduo took away all the main forces, Shanhaiguan was not much different from an empty city at this time.

Within a hundred miles of Shanhaiguan, there is not a single army of external forces.

The city wall of Shanhaiguan is tall and thick, and there are many cannons on the head of the city to defend it.

Wu Sangui didn't leave a hand for defending the city, and Duoduo didn't think anyone dared to attack Shanhaiguan.

Even if an army attacks Shanhaiguan, they will rush back to support in a short time.

In front of the 30,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Eastern Cavalry, they couldn't think of anyone who would dare to attack.

But what they didn't expect, the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen had already thought of it.

After Wu Sangui and Duoduo each led their subordinates out of the customs, the two Jinyi Guard commanders of the White Tiger Xuanwu began to act.

Zhu Youzhen originally planned to let them do the internal response.

When the army is attacking the city, I hope they can help the Ming army.

But these two saw that Shanhaiguan was empty, and they actually wanted to take Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop.

White Tiger Xuanwu had already inquired clearly, and there were now more than 1,000 soldiers in the pass.

And most of them were firearms and artillerymen.

There are three or four guards, among which Wu Sangui's son-in-law Xia Guoxiang is the chief general of the guard.

After Wu Sangui and the others left, in order to be foolproof, Xia Guoxiang has been guarding the city.

After discussing it, the White Tiger Xuanwu led more than a dozen brocade guards to the top of the city.

There were more than 200 of them, and now they were all mixed in other teams.

Because it was not Wu Sangui's cronies, the main force of the Guanning rebels did not have their place.

In this way, it just gave these brocade guards the best chance.

Xia Guoxiang was inspecting the city defense, with three deputies following on the left and right, and more than a dozen personal soldiers around him.

The soldiers at the head of the city came and went, and no one cared about them, so Baihu Xuanwu and a dozen others walked over.

walked to Xia Guoxiang's side for more than 20 steps before he was stopped by a deputy general of Xia Guoxiang:

"Stop, you all go and stick to your posts, don't move around at will, in case there is any accident, you can be prepared."

"Oh, this subordinate knows, but we have something to report to General Xia, so we came here."

White Tiger Xuanwu casually made an excuse and wanted to get close to Xia Guoxiang.

The adjutant general's eyes widened:

"What can you do, step down, or military law will deal with it."

Seeing that the deputy general was not allowed to approach, the white tiger and Xuanwu exchanged glances and prepared to make a move.

Twenty paces away, for them in an instant.

"Come forward and speak."

Xia Guoxiang waved his hand to stop the deputy general and let the White Tiger Xuanwu step forward to speak.
