Chapter 188: The Arrogant Eastern Kidnap of the Great Baylor
"Lord Wang, give Yue Tuo an arrow, and Yue Tuo promises not to let a grain enter Liaoyang City."
No matter what others do, Daishan's eldest son, Yue Tuo, the owner of the Yellow Flag, was the first to stand up and ask for an order.
He had already asked for instructions to fight the Ming army, but in order to preserve his strength, Dai Shan had been pressing Yue Tuo and not letting him be impulsive.
Dolgon also knew this, and he also wanted to leave the elite of the Eastern Capture behind, and decided to let the Han army consume each other first.
But I didn't expect Kong Youde to be so incompetent, and they were annihilated by the Ming army in a short period of time, and they did not cause serious losses to the Ming army at all.
Now it's time to let Minggou see how powerful the real Eight Banners Heavenly Soldier is.
Dolgon nodded, then looked at Daishan, and seeing that Daishan did not object, he immediately ordered:
"Yue Tuo, this task is very arduous, it is related to the fate of my Qing Dynasty, this king hopes that you will not be impulsive in case of trouble, and block the supply line of Minggou at the smallest cost."
Yue Tuo clenched his fists and bowed to receive the order.
"Oh, rest assured, Yue Tuo guarantees the smooth completion of the task."
Yue Tuo was still young and vigorous, and when he set off, he specially sent scouts to find out the news of Liaoyang, and he actually wanted to take advantage of the situation to take Liaoyang together.
The scout quietly approached Liaoyang City, raised his single-barreled telescope and looked at the city, and was stunned by the defense of Liaoyang City.
I saw that the head of Liaoyang City was full of red-clothed cannons, at least as many as three hundred, and there were countless tiger squatting cannons quietly erected next to the red-coated cannons.
Originally, the siege battle was the weakness of the Eight Banners, and if Yue Tuo launched an attack on the city, the entire red flag was likely to be buried under the city of Liaoyang.
In fact, anyone with a little common sense can think that if Qi Jiguang didn't have two brushes, how could he enter the hinterland of Liaodong alone, what is the difference between that and looking for death.
The scout took a closer look before returning to the team and reporting to Yueto:
"Report to the prince, Liaoyang City is heavily defended, with at least three hundred red-clothed cannons, and five hundred tiger squat cannons at the head of the city."
Although Yue Tuo was very arrogant, he was still very afraid of the power of the red-clothed cannon, and looked back at Shuo Tuo, the owner of the small flag inlaid with red flags, and said:
"Shuotuo, you lead five Niu Lu and take a step ahead of Shanhaiguan, and Ben Beile will test Liaoyang's reaction."
Shuoto shook his head and persuaded:
"Big brother, the scouts just said that there are many red-clothed cannons at the head of Liaoyang City, it is too dangerous to do so, and the last general suggested that it is better to rob Minggou's supply line."
"You don't have to worry about this, immediately send some scouts out to search for Minggou's supply routes, and immediately execute the order."
Yue Tuo's eyes widened, Shuo Tuo, as the owner of the small flag, did not dare to disobey his order, so he had to take five Niu Lu to the direction of Shanhaiguan.
After Shuo Tuo and the others left, Yue Tuo led the remaining dozen or so Niu Lu to Liaoyang City, and when passing by a forest, he ordered the team to stop advancing.
Command Ala-e-zhen:
"Ronnie, you immediately lead an Ezhen to challenge under Liaoyang City, if there is a Ming dog out of the city to fight, don't fight with them, immediately retreat."
"Chirp"
Jiala Ezhen Roni, agreed, and immediately led a Niu Lu to Liaoyang City, about five miles away, and the cavalry soon came to Liaoyang City.
Liaoyang City
After receiving Sun Chuanting's flying pigeon message, and learning that Sun Chuanting had recovered Korea and was marching to Liaodong, Qi Jiguang was overjoyed and immediately convened the generals to discuss the military situation.
Suddenly, another soldier came to report:
"Report to the governor, a cavalry of the eastern captives has come down from the city to fight."
Li Cunxiao felt itchy hands after not fighting for three days, and as soon as he heard that there were Eastern Captives' cavalry calling for war, he suddenly came to his senses:
"Oh, tell me about how many."
The soldiers hurriedly bowed and saluted:
"General Hui, there are not many people, about a thousand or so."
Li Cunxiao was discouraged at that time, such a small number of cavalry was not worth his battle at all.
Qi Jiguang smiled slightly:
"The carving insect is a small skill, and he dares to show off in front of the governor of Pontus."
Li Cunxiao was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked:
"Why did the Governor say that?"
Qi Jiguang laughed, and then explained to Li Cunxiao:
"Haha, a Niu Lu 300 cavalry in the East Tartar, five Niu Lu is a Jiala, today there are about a thousand people in the city, that is, just one Jiala.
If it is the first time for them to fight against our Ming Dynasty and are not familiar with our Ming soldiers, then sending a Jiala's troops to challenge them is very arrogant, but it is understandable.
However, Duoduo has been destroyed by my Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongmin and others have been destroyed one after another, is Dolgon a fool, since he will send a cavalry of Jiala to die.
Dolgon is by no means a simple-minded person, on the contrary, he is also very strategic, and when I was in the Ming Dynasty, I still wanted to seize the opportunity to enter the customs, if it wasn't for my emperor Shengming, he was almost killed.
Today's cavalry is obviously the vanguard detachment that has come to lure the enemy or test our strength, and from this point of view, the person who led the troops is extremely arrogant, and it is very likely that he sent troops without authorization. ”
Qi Jiguang, the military god of the Ming Dynasty, deserves to be a military god-level figure, as long as he heard the number of the other party, he immediately guessed Yue Tuo's attempt, which made the generals even more admired.
The generals asked to go out of the city to meet the enemy, but Li Cunxiao didn't say a word, he didn't want to fight the opponent, because he felt that one Jiala was not enough for him to stuff his teeth.
Qi Jiguang did not send someone to fight for the time being, but said disdainfully:
"Let's go, let's see the military might of the Eight Banners of the Eastern Capture, haha"
All the generals laughed, and then followed Qi Jiguang to the head of Liaoyang City, and sure enough, they saw a group of men and horses shouting under the city, with thousands of people, showing off their might under the city.
"Telescope"
Qi Jiguang stretched out his hand to take a telescope, he didn't look at the cavalry under the field, but looked at the woods five miles behind the cavalry.
The telescopes exchanged by the Zhu inspection system are far from being comparable to the single-barreled telescopes in the late Ming Dynasty.
Although it is not as advanced as modern telescopes, and it is not clear to see the movement in the woods, the countless birds hovering over the woods still completely expose Yue Tuo's traces.
"Sure enough, as the governor of Pontus expected, there are ambushes in the woods behind them, once the battle is formed, they will immediately retreat, lure us into the ambush circle of the Eastern Captivity, and then ten thousand arrows will be fired in unison, Huang Ming!"
Huang Ming hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute:
"Governor, please instruct."
With how many cannons, one salvo, this Tartar can be completely gone. ”
Huang Ming immediately gave a thumbs up to the cavalry under the city, closed one eye and inspected it visually, and then reported:
"Dudu, this distance is a little embarrassing, they are too close to the red-clothed cannon, if they use the tiger squat cannon, their distance is too far, there is no absolute certainty, it is better to send the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to attack quickly and defeat them in one fell swoop."
Without waiting for you to speak, Li Cunxiao didn't want to continue to be patient, and interjected:
"Governor, let the last general go and kill them, it's annoying like a fly."
Qi Jiguang smiled slightly:
"The general is not in a hurry, after the iron armor leaves the city, they run faster than rabbits, and it is impossible to run into them knowing that the other party has an ambush.
Huang Ming listened to the order, no matter what method you use, the governor of Pontus immediately adjusted the red-coated artillery, and if you don't destroy them today, all your artillery will go to the house tomorrow to burn the fire. ”
