Chapter 1666: Fighting Haizhou Again (2)
It stands to reason that Ji Xiha and Lan Bai should understand the truth that things can not be three, and the Northern Expeditionary Army outside the city must have come prepared, but the previous battle gave them confidence, in fact, yesterday's battle, the Qing army took advantage, at least, two days, the enemy's artillery did not sound.
Moreover, the enemy's artillery had already retreated, and even if the enemy cavalry who came to shout and curse were prepared, with the combat ability of their own cavalry, there was no need to be afraid.
Moreover, after all, it is a battle outside the city gate, and if there is a real contingency, it can be quickly withdrawn, and the enemy army without artillery support is obviously unable to prevent itself from retreating.
Combined with these reasons, Jishiha and Lanbai still decided to lead the army to attack in person.
This is not a trivial matter, it is equivalent to the enemy army outside the city gave themselves a great merit in vain, and then the excerpt said, the enemy army outside the city and the emperor and the queen mother, the ministers heard it, and they were filled with righteous indignation, so even if the enemy's strength is far superior to mine, the ministers are fearless and swear to defend the ...... of the lord to the death. Tsk, listen, this is the routine of being an official.
In other words, with this reason, even if you lose, you will have no merit.
If you win, you will have to be promoted.
Can Jishiha and Lanbai miss it?
……。
This time, Ji Xiha and Lan bowed to their old books.
The previous raid out of the city used 3,600 cavalry, because they lost hundreds, so this time they gathered all the cavalry in the city, a total of more than 4,000 cavalry.
Those who stayed behind on the walls of the gates of Haizhou City were all Han Banner Army.
These Han banner soldiers, the loyalty to the Manchu Qing is naturally undoubted, except that the face is a Han face, nothing else can be found, even clothes, talking, and even learning from the Manchu people to have some beards, almost Manchurian.
These people can actually be used as cavalry, but there are not enough horses in the city, and how can this kind of thing that can invite merit to the court be shared with others?
Jishiha and Lanbai each led one way, and went out of the city through the east and west gates.
The Qing army was violent, like two mudslides, rolling towards the south gate.
The wind and thunder cavalry who were scolding happily outside the city had already sent scout cavalry to pay attention to the left and right.
When the Qing army left the city, Qian Qiaogong knew.
He ordered a quick retreat.
After the two roads of Jixiha and Lanbai met outside the south gate, they saw the wind and thunder riding away, and the generals laughed, and pointed to the back of the enemy army and scolded the southerners for being timid and not daring to fight.
But the question is, to chase, or not to chase.
Although the Qing generals are vulgar, they are not fools, the wind and thunder ride are so provocative, but they will collapse at the touch of a button, it is obvious that this is prepared, there must be ambushes.
Is it difficult to go forward, or is it enough to stop and accept it when it is good?
Different voices emerged among the Qing generals.
But at this time, Ji Xiha and Lan Bai, who had already lost their minds, did not want to give up this low-hanging fruit.
In their opinion, whether it is dangerous or not is not the first priority, the first thing is that they swore to defend the honor of the imperial court.
The two quickly reached a consensus and ordered the whole army to pursue.
But the funny thing is that the two themselves did not participate in this pursuit, but returned to the city under the pretext that the city must be guarded.
The general who commanded the Qing cavalry was named Tong Dai.
Tong Dai, Manren, father Tong San, official to deputy capital.
His promotion was almost a murder all the way, killing the Koreans first, not on the battlefield, but slaughtering innocent people and surrendering people.
Later, in the Battle of Jinzhou, Tong Dai killed the Ming army and made meritorious contributions.
In the seventh year of Chongde, he conquered Tashan and Xingshan with Prince Zheng Jierharang, and promoted the deputy capital of the Han Army of the Blue Banner.
In the second year of Shunzhi, he followed Prince Ying Azig to crusade against Li Zicheng, from Shaanxi to Huguang, and finally to Jiangnan, and finally became the first murderer.
Tong Dai has a younger brother, who is also famous for his murder, called Tong Yangliang, who is the governor of Xuanda, and he can get to this position, but also by killing people, Yangzhou Ten Days, Jiangyin Massacre, all have his "credit". Grave
Therefore, this family surnamed Tong can be described as a lot of blood debts for the Han people.
……。
Of course, Qian Qiaogong and Lu Zhiyu didn't know that the chasing soldiers were about to change generals.
So far, I only know that the main Qing army in Haizhou City will be Ji Xiha and Lan Bai, who knows which onion Tong Dai is?
They set up this tactic, but it was not designed for Tong Dai.
Xinba is a little-known town south of Haizhou.
Therefore, the town is located along the Lianhe River, and the local people are named after the new dam in the old embankment.
When it was named, it was the last year of Chongzhen, and it was only a matter of one or twenty years, and there is no evidence of which year it is.
It can be seen that the four sides of this town are all farmland.
But it is not the battlefield chosen by Qian Qiaogong and Lu Zhiyu, although the farmland is indeed a sluggish means for the Qing Cavalry, but the Wind and Thunder Cavalry cannot be used.
It was mentioned because Wu Songwei, who had rushed from Yunti Pass at this time, was hoarding around this town.
And the "Xiaolin Ride", which Qian Qiaogong regarded as the meat of his heart, is crossing the Lianhe River.
The real preset battlefield is north of Xinba, south of Qishan, and north of the Lianhe River.
……。
Tong Dai actually knew what Ji Xiha and Lan Bai were thinking.
Unlike ordinary Manchurian generals, Tong Dai's city is very deep, not only that, he is ruthless and treacherous, very much like a poisonous snake that will devour people at any time.
Because of this, Tong Dai was not very sociable in the Qing army.
If it weren't for his "outstanding achievements", I'm afraid few people would obey him.
This time he was "ordered to be in danger", Tong Dai actually already had a draft in his heart.
He knew very well that if he won this time, most of the credit would be due to Ji Xiha and Lan Bai, firstly, these two people were the main generals of this battle, and their official positions were much higher than their own, and secondly, after all, they led the army out of the city, and they were just picking up people's teeth.
But if he is defeated, he will definitely be the only "man behind the pot".
Tong Dai ordered the Qing cavalry on both sides to close, and sent a light cavalry of 300 people as the vanguard, and ordered a rapid pursuit.
And he led the main force of cavalry to slow down.
That is to say, if the enemy has ambush troops, he will lose up to 300 cavalry, and this number, Tong Dai has weighed it two or three.
Previously, Ji Xiha and Lan Baiqin led cavalry to raid the enemy's artillery positions outside the city, and suffered more than 600 casualties.
In his own pursuit this time, the casualties were controlled within half of Jixiha and Lanbai, which is reasonable anyway, right?
Therefore, the changes on the battlefield are often unpredictable.
This change is not at all expected by Qian Qiaogong and Lu Zhiyu.
Qian Qiaogong and Lu Zhiyu lured the enemy to be a conspiracy.
Scolding anyone can do it, scolding Bumu Butai and Fulin mother and son, it is equivalent to stabbing a hornet's nest, and the two sides have become an endless situation.
The pursuit of the enemy is the meaning of the question, which is completely expected.
According to the expectations of the two, as long as the Qing army pursued to the vicinity of the Lianhe River, then Wu Songwei, who was hoarded in Xinba Town, could wait for his work and use firearms to defeat the enemy as a chopping block, at least, several times the strength of the Qing army, which could completely delay the enemy's cavalry.
Then the wind and thunder cavalry were used as a wall to surround the Qing army from the southwest and cut off the retreat of the Qing army.
In the end, the secret weapon "Xiaolin Cavalry" was used as a knife, chop, chop, chop, and annihilated the Qing army that was chasing, in order to avenge the sneak attack of the Qing army two days ago.
But this plan, apparently, has failed before it has been implemented.
