Chapter 796: Finally Waiting for You
"Hold on! Resist it! Wait a while......" Li Yan's knife has been curled, the armor is dyed red, and there is more blood on his body, and the soldiers around him hurriedly bandaged him but he threw it away and shouted, he knew that as long as there was a retreat now, the Ming army would collapse, and with the cruelty of the Qing army, none of his subordinates would survive, and he must stand up to it until reinforcements arrived.
Thinking in his heart, he looked due west, but saw the black clouds rolling in the sky, Li Yan couldn't control it anymore, and shouted as if he was happy: "It's coming, the reinforcements have arrived, brothers resist it!" ”
Li Yan Xiao'er, no one has dared to play this king like this for more than ten years, Shang Kexi, who was watching the battle after the battle, had a murderous look on his face, and saw that the Ming army was already invincible, and the killing intent was even stronger. Slaughtered! ”
A sudden burst of thunder sounded in the sky, and Shang Kexi shrank his neck in shock, looked up at the sky, and scolded: "Ghost weather, isn't the killing sound on this battlefield loud enough?" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the west, and saw that the black clouds were rolling over there but he didn't care, and he was afraid that there was going to be a heavy rain, hey, there seemed to be something wrong, and he looked over again, but he saw a few fast horses coming, it was the Qing army's exploration horse, and he came to him with a panicked face: "Report to the prince, there is a Ming army crossing the river in the west......
Yes! Shang Ke was shocked, where did it come from, could it be that Li Yan was really waiting for reinforcements, looked due west, and suddenly took a breath of cold air, where is the black cloud rolling, but the dense cavalry.
Due west is the Grand Canal, which is only a few miles away from the battlefield and can be reached in the blink of an eye.
"How many soldiers and horses are there?" Shang Kexi hurriedly asked.
"More than 10,000 cavalry, or more" Exploring the horse, Shang Kexi couldn't help but feel a tightening in his heart, how could there be so many, where did this Ming army come from, but it is definitely impossible to be the soldiers and horses of the little eunuch, and they are all cavalry!
Seeing that Li Yan was about to collapse, how could this Ming army be ruined, and if it was not intercepted in time, it was very likely to be surrounded by it, Shang Kexi was shocked and had no time to think about where the Ming army reinforcements appeared, so he immediately ordered Nikan to lead his troops to intercept and suspend the reinforcement offensive.
As for the superiority of the Ming army, I'm bah, a rabble! When the Qing army didn't cry for dad and mother with less victory and more fighting, during the Songjin War, tens or even hundreds of Ming troops who could kill tens of thousands of people lost their armor, this kind of thing is not once or twice, but many times!
So in the face of so many Ming troops who suddenly appeared, Shang Kexi was shocked but not panicked!
At this time, both sides in the fierce battle have already noticed that the black clouds are rolling in the west, although the momentum is overwhelming for a few miles, the people are terrified and uneasy, and the faint sound of horses' hooves is even more terrifying, and the soldiers of Li Yanbu, who are almost desperate, can't help but cry, and try their last strength to fight with the enemy, they must withstand the arrival of reinforcements, and they must live.
But the Qing army is obviously panicked, although it is not clear whether it is an enemy or a friend, but if it is a friendly army, it must come from the north, and then look at the Ming army crying in front of him, a handful of snot and tears, it must be my father who is here, how can there be so many Ming troops holding grass!
Seeing this, Nikan, who originally wanted to capture and kill Li Yan, was also shocked and couldn't go to catch Li Yan anymore, so after getting Shang Kexi's order, he directly drew 2,000 troops and galloped away, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Ming army had not completely crossed the river and crushed them!
That's right, the Ming reinforcements are coming!
How many? Nearly 20,000!
Isn't it a little eunuch? No!
Who's that?
The second of the emperor's twenty-six personal guards, and the two most capable guards at present, Teng Xiangwei and Jin Wuwei!
How did Teng Paiwei appear here, and how did Li Yan get in touch with them?
However, when Dolgon left Tongzhou City the day before yesterday, Chang Yu ordered the two guards to go south first in order to prevent the Qing army from deviating from his ambush route to Langfang and other places, and at an important juncture, he could also send reinforcements to Li Yan nearby.
The momentum was only a preparatory move at that time, but he didn't think that this pre-action was really effective, thus saving Li Yanbu.
It is said that the two guards were ordered to go south, although they were side by side with the Qing army, they were separated by nearly forty miles from east to west, so that they were not detected by the Qing army's exploration horses, and the speed of the two guards was significantly faster than Dolgon's main force of soldiers and horses, and even fell behind the vanguard led by Azig at that time.
The two guards rushed all the way, and camped at a town called Qingyundian more than 40 miles northwest of the Xianghe River last night, although they were far away from the Qing army, the two guards did not dare to be careless, so they sent several units of scouts to reconnoiter within a radius of 20 miles, one to guard and the other to search for information, but they did not expect that one of the scouts actually met Gao Qi, who was chasing Azig 20 miles.
This scout heard the sound of killing in the light of the fire, and in confusion they approached to reconnoitre, and in the darkness they did not dare to intervene regardless of the enemy and me.
The Ming army scouts originally wanted to avoid it, but when they heard that it was the Manchu language of the Tartars, they surrounded it without saying a word...... So to be exact, Gao Qi was able to catch the big fish of Azig, and the scouts of the two guards contributed a lot.
Gao Qi was naturally very happy, so he brought the scout back to the camp to see Li Yan, Li Yan was also overjoyed, and finally waited for his mother's family after squatting here for more than half a month, and it was not far away.
Li Yan has always taken precautions, although he has just attacked the camp and ended Azig's nest, but the main force after the vanguard must not be far away, that is, the big war is coming, and he will bear the brunt, if the various units of the Ming army are in place and launch an attack at the same time The Qing army Gu left and right, the impact is not strong, he may be able to block it, but if a detail goes wrong, the Qing army will come without scruples, and he will die without a place to bury!
But at this time, there were reinforcements next to him, and he was relieved, nearly 20,000 cavalry had the strength to block the main force of the Qing army, and even if he was defeated, he could drag other reinforcements to surround him, so Li Yan asked the scout to quickly report to the main generals of the two guards: The main force of the Tartars is here, come to support as soon as possible.
The scout did not dare to slack off and gallop to report, and when he arrived at Qingyundian Town, it was already dawn, and the eight commanders of the two guards learned that Li Yan had fought a big battle just now and captured the Tartar prince Azig, and he was overjoyed and surprised and knew that the military situation was urgent, so he had already discussed and sent troops to the camp, and at this time, he and Nikan had already arrived in Xianghe City to confront Li Yan.
Hurry up and hurry up Finally, when Li Yanbu was dying and struggling, the two guards came over!
The reinforcements of the Ming army arrived, and the two parties who were fighting were surprised and delighted, but they were more ruthless, and they all knew that the most critical moment was reached, if Shang Kexi did Li Yan in one go, he could turn around and rush to the west to reinforce the troops.
Shang Kexi and Li Yan both roared fiercely, and the soldiers under their command moved forward bravely, and if they went further, the door would be wide open.
Nikan, who led 2,000 troops to block the Ming army, did not have so much pressure, because in his opinion, the Ming army was vulnerable, and in fact it was, and at this time, the Ming army only crossed half of the river and half was still on the opposite bank.
What about more than 10,000 people, and seeing how the 2,000 Qing troops abused Er, Nikan was full of fighting spirit, and led his troops like a sharp sword to stab half of the Ming army that had just crossed the river and landed.
