481 What the hell is the Ming Army doing (to look down on the top of the wind and clouds, the Silver League plus more 17/110)
There are more than 3,000 Jianguo stationed in the Qiantun guard of Guangning, including about 500 Korean firecrackers, about 1,000 infantry troops of other ethnic groups, about 1,000 Mongolian Eight Banners, and the rest are the cavalry of Jianyu's own tribe.
Compared with the previous Ming army, the strength of the Jianyu army was not enough. This is not to say that Jianyu is so arrogant, it doesn't matter whether it is full or not. It's that there are so many people in Jianqing, even if this is the front line of the Ming Dynasty, there are really not so many troops to send.
Of course, Jianyu also has this self-confidence, and feels that with this force, it is basically the same. If the Ming army comes to attack in a big way, there will be support from Ningyuan City soon.
The leader of the Jianyu of the former tun guard of Quang Ninh was the Yellow Banner of Eduotai, and on this day, he was thinking about things in his own house.
If you explain the movement of the army at night, the most sensitive person on Jianyu's side must be him on the front line.
Before the Ming army did not collect at night, the activities were suddenly frequent, and just the fighting between his subordinates and the Ming army who did not collect at night lost forty or fifty horses, which had never appeared before. For this reason, he hurriedly reported the situation to Ning Yuancheng. However, it did not attract the attention of Ning Yuancheng.
Just as he was about to investigate the news further and react upwards again, the Ming army suddenly stopped fighting and stopped moving. And still from one extreme to the other.
The scouts sent by Eduotai all went to hang out of the Ming army camp, and the Ming army did not collect it at night and did not come out to expel it. This situation, for him who has been in battle for a long time, immediately felt extraordinary information.
For this reason, he did not dare to slack off, and kept sending scouts to guard the movements of the Ming army.
However, Eduotai also understands that it stands to reason that it is impossible for the Ming army to play any tricks, at most it will lead the troops to attack.
However, in the Battle of Songjin, the main force of the Ming army was annihilated, which was an ironclad fact. Only two short years have passed, and the Ming army can once again gather forces like the Battle of Songjin, he does not believe it.
Since there are not enough troops, even if Ming Guo really wants to send troops to counterattack, he is not afraid.
If the Ming army really had to attack, with more than 3,000 troops under his command, he would definitely be able to carry it for a few days, waiting for the arrival of Ningyuan's main force.
To tell the truth, on the side of the Qing Dynasty, they were afraid that the Ming army would not fight in the Shanhaiguan like a turtle with a shrunken head, and as for the field battle, it could not be more welcome.
After thinking about these clearly, Eduotai was relieved a lot. However, just in case, he was also diligent and began to inspect the city defenses.
After inspecting the circle, he was satisfied, and stood at the head of the city to look in the direction of Shanhaiguan. At the same time, I thought in my heart, it was best for Minggou to come out, otherwise he would not be able to make military achievements.
He was thinking about it, when suddenly, he saw several fast horses galloping in the distance. Looking at the outfit, it was the scout horse he sent out.
Is there a situation?
Oduotai thought in his heart, but he didn't order the whole city to be on guard. Otherwise, those who go back and forth on this front line will have to be on guard every day.
Not only did Eduotai think so, but the other people in the Qiantun Acropolis of Quang Ninh didn't take it seriously, and they still did what they should have been.
However, their ease was lost as soon as the horses approached. Because the horses had not yet arrived, they were already shouting: "Enemy attack, enemy attack......
If it was just a battle between Tanma and the Ming army at night, it would be impossible to call the enemy attack.
The only thing that can be called an enemy attack is a large-scale dispatch by the Ming army.
But even so, Eduotai didn't panic, just waited for the horse to gallop up the city.
Seeing that Tanma had come to the city, he was about to ask about the situation when his face suddenly changed, and he immediately turned his head to look in the direction of Shanhaiguan.
At this time, there was nothing to see at all, but the earth was faintly shaking, and the faint sound of thunder came from far away. He has been in the army for many years, and he immediately knew that this is a movement that can only be experienced by a large-scale cavalry.
Although he had not yet seen the shadow of the Ming army, Eduotai immediately ordered the whole city to be on alert.
The alarm gong, which had never sounded before, sounded rapidly in this Qiantun Acropolis of Quang Ninh.
In the city, which is not very popular, after a while, it is as if it has just woken up, and one by one from each house immediately pops up. Maybe it's because I haven't had this experience, and I'm a bit like a fly without a head.
By the time the captives in the city had all gone to the city, Eduotai had already seen the shadow of the Ming cavalry in the distance. The dust behind the marching team made the experienced him nervous all of a sudden, and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, immediately rush to Ningyuan City to report the news, the Ming army is attacking Qiantun Acropolis!" ”
After only a while, a fast horse galloped out of the east gate and went to the east with a fast horse.
"Boom Boom ......"
The sound of horses' hooves came in a hurry, and I saw thousands of Ming cavalry troops, all of them with one person and two horses, galloping.
Seeing this scene, the Jianyu at the head of the city began to get nervous. Because they know that this is the sentinel in front of the army, and there are thousands of horsemen in these sentry alone, and there will definitely be many Ming cavalry behind.
"Where did the Ming Kingdom get so many cavalry troops?" In the mind of Oduotai, such a thought couldn't help but pop up.
If there were so many cavalry, there would definitely be more of them. Is this Ming army going to fight a big war? A big battle like the Battle of Songjin?
Thinking so, Eduotai hurriedly sent a messenger to inform Ning Yuan of the estimated situation again.
"It's all guarded!" Oduotai immediately patrolled all parts of the city with a knife, inspected the city defenses, and shouted, "Ming Gou came out of the turtle shell, and it was here to find death." As long as you hold on until reinforcements arrive, it's a great achievement! ”
Not to mention, at least although the Jianyu at the head of the city were nervous, not many people were afraid.
The victory over the Ming army over the years has given them this confidence!
They watched as the Ming army sentry roared past the Qiantun Acropolis of Quang Ninh, chasing the messenger who had just set off from the city, without stopping at the Qiantun Acropolis.
This situation made the Jianlu at the head of the city look at each other: these sentry agents of the Ming army did not leave a little to monitor the Qiantun Acropolis?
When thinking like this, in the direction of Shanhaiguan, the Jianyu at the head of the city finally saw another large group of Ming cavalry coming.
When the cavalry is on the march, it is not the kind of galloping. Because that kind can't last, it's only possible when you're charging against each other. Just now it is the eyes and ears of the army, so with one person and two horses, you can change horses and gallop.
Eduotai naturally paid great attention to this Ming cavalry army, and he found that every soldier of the Ming army was in good spirits, and he could not see the expression of fear that could be found when he faced the Ming army before.
Is this the confidence to win?
With such a thought in his heart, he looked in the direction of Shanhaiguan again. It turned out that I still didn't see the end of the Ming cavalry.
Suddenly, Eduotai was a little shocked in his heart. Although he felt that he had overestimated the number of Ming troops, as far as he could see at the moment, it was still beyond his estimate: how many Ming cavalry troops would there be?
As far as what can be seen in the field of vision, it is estimated that there are already tens of thousands.
Is it really that the Ming Kingdom is attacking again? Where did they get so many soldiers?
I wondered in my heart, it was impossible to send a messenger to Ningyuan again. Because the Ming army's forward sentinel has already crossed the Qiantun Acropolis, if he sends a messenger, he will definitely be intercepted, and he will only be sent to death in vain.
As a result, Eduotai had no choice but to boost morale again and order his subordinates to guard the city.
"We have never been the only Qing Dynasty to attack Minggou's city, why, because we are invincible in the Qing Dynasty!"
"Now that Minggou dares to take the initiative to go out of the customs, the last time 200,000 horses were wiped out by me, this time they will definitely be wiped out!"
"Ming Dog shrunk in the turtle shell, it is rare to have a chance to come out, it is all guarded, this is all military merit, there will be no store in this village, you must cherish the opportunity!"
“……”
Although there were only more than 3,000 people in the Qiantun Acropolis, they were all motivated by the encouragement of Eduotai.
Because past experience tells them that Oduotai is right!
The vanguard of the Ming cavalry finally arrived at the Qiantun Acropolis.
When he saw the Ming army sentry before, that is, when he galloped by at night, Eduotai didn't see the fearful expressions on the faces of the Ming soldiers, and he could understand it, after all, he was the elite of the Ming army.
But these cavalry soldiers in front of him, he didn't even see anyone with a fearful expression on their faces, which made him very puzzled!
However, what he didn't expect was that the vanguard of this cavalry army did not stop under the Qiantun Acropolis, but continued to move east.
"What's going on?" Seeing this scene, Eduotai was a little confused.
It stands to reason that the Qiantun Acropolis should be besieged! However, the Ming cavalry did not!
However, he also came back to his senses, maybe the forward cavalry just now was to guard against the rescue of the Qing army on Ningyuan's side.
He was thinking like this, but the Ming cavalry that followed behind did not stop, and continued to bypass the Qiantun Acropolis and go east.
“……”
When Eduotai was speechless, he saw one after another Ming cavalry army crossing the Qiantun Acropolis and heading east, completely ignoring the Qiantun Acropolis.
Even in it, he seemed to see a handsome flag passing by, what Xingguo Gong, and the brocade guards of the brigade and so on.
waited until all the Ming cavalry passed through the Qiantun Acropolis, and Eduotai was still a little confused: what is the situation?
Turning his head to look at the direction of Shanhaiguan, he didn't see any traces of the infantry army, and it can even be said that he didn't see a single infantry army!
"At least 20,000 riders just now, right? Shouldn't there be more infantry marching together, and this speed is not fast! And what about the infantry army? "Oduotai is talking to himself, he is confused!
His guards tentatively guessed: "Could it be that the Ming army will not have an infantry army?" ”
"It can't be!" When Eduotai heard this, he categorically vetoed, "What about the logistics of the cavalry?" If you don't beat the Qiantun Acropolis, the Ming cavalry won't want to go back? This is a send-off! The infantry army must be behind, just wait! ”
