Chapter 923: Meeting is better than a chance encounter
Besides, Chang Yu on the bank of the Beiyang River led his troops to cross the river and go straight to the northwest to intercept after hearing that the Qing army had sent troops.
When you come, why are you so cowardly when you leave, this time you must have a long memory, hit until you break your muscles and bones and know what it means to be in pain, see if you still dare to enter the customs with nothing to do, Chang Yu was secretly ruthless, he had almost understood Dolgon's thoughts: he just wanted to leave the customs safely, as for the smoke bombs that sent troops to attack the city.
In terms of strength, the Ming army of more than 2,000 is slightly inferior to the Qing army, but in terms of morale, the battle spirit is monstrous, far from being comparable to the Qing army, but Chang Yu did not dare to be careless at all, after all, the field strength of the Qing cavalry is too strong, and it should be dealt with cautiously, and the opponent should be crushed with the smallest casualties.
The field battle is face-to-face, and all tactics are decorations in the face of strong strength, so Chang Yu did not waste much energy in tactics, but just told the generals to be flexible and mobile, and cooperate with each other not to go deep alone.
Half an hour later, the day after the evening was a little hot, Chang Yu led his troops to the northwest for more than ten miles, the villages were empty, and occasionally saw the corpses on the roadside as the people killed by the Qing army, and everyone was more angry and murderous.
The scouts in front reported that the Qing army had reached five miles northwest and was blocked by the woods ahead.
"Prepare for war" Chang Yu roared, put on his helmet and hung his face with a demon mask, carrying a long knife, clamping his legs, and the war horse hissed out.
Passing through the grove, a long line of Qing troops came into view a few miles away, and it was obvious that the Qing army had also detected the appearance of the Ming army, and did not panic, but galloped towards it.
"Array" Chang Yu shouted, two thousand Ming troops opened their bows and arrows and aimed at the front, and the rolling Qing cavalry vaguely saw a big "hole" written on a big banner
Damn, it won't be Kong Youde, Chang Yu frowned, and said in his heart that this product has appeared a little bit lately! This time, I'm going to give him a heavy punch, just him, and watch him snort.
After thinking about it, the Qing army's iron cavalry was a hundred steps away, and Chang Yu shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”
A long snake array of the Ming army heard the order to launch, the arrows rained down into the Qing army's array, and the arrows of the Qing army also poured down, Chang Yu yelled, rush!
"Rush! Kill all the dog Tartars" Hao Shaoqi waved his long knife and led more than 1,000 cavalry from the past, and Jia Waixiong led more than 100 heavy armored cavalry under his command to head on the left and right flanks.
"Vena, outflank from behind!" Chang Yu yelled at Song Luoshu, who was eager to try, Song Luoshu hummed, and led three hundred fast horsemen to surround him from outside the battle circle.
"Lao Tzu is going to catch a big turtle today" Chang Yu stared at the big banner in the Qing army and sneered, and with a knife and a slap of the war horse, he led more than 100 personal soldiers into the battle circle.
Chang Yu guessed correctly, the main general of the Qing army sent troops to Linzi this time was still the big black pot Kong Youde, who had previously caused Li Yan's reinforcements to break through the defense line because of an oversight of his part, and the good situation of the Qing army was stirred into a piece of.
In fact, this is not Kong Youde's negligence, but Dolgon needs a backpot, and then this goods can only be carried.
As Chang Yu and Li Yan and others expected, after discussing with Dolgon, they decided to withdraw their troops and go north to the customs, but they also knew that the little eunuch would never let him leave easily, and his large battalion had countless baggage, and he couldn't run fast because of his drag, so a group of stinkers discussed for a night and decided to learn the tricks of the Han people and secretly Chen Cang!
The attack on Linzi attracted the attention of the Ming army, and then the main force quietly withdrew northward, of course, the premise was to block the surrounding news, so that the Ming army scouts could not detect the movements of the camp.
However, the stinker is the stinker, and Li Yan guessed what he was going to pull when he opened his mouth, so it can be said that the original purpose of sending troops to attack Linzi was to release smoke bombs, but it became ridiculous to cover up the lack of silver here.
What's more, they didn't expect that the Ming army had set up a lookout post on the top of the mountain, and they couldn't understand the small movements more than 20 miles away, but they could still feel the clues of the big movements.
Dolgon and others, who thought they had thought of a complete plan, urgently ordered Kong Youde to send troops to feint to attack Linzi to attract the attention of the Ming army, and at the same time shoulder the rear of the palace to cover the retreat of the army.
When he came, Kong Youde did this work without complaint, not to mention that Dolgon had promised him to make meritorious service for his crimes, and if he could cover the safe exit of the army, his previous mistakes would be written off.
Kong Youde was pleased, but he was also ruthless in his heart, Dolgon ordered him to feint to attack Linzi, but he wanted to fake the real show and break the city directly, and then leave a chicken and dog behind, so as to vent his hatred!
And he's confident he can do it.
After all, Linzi is a small city, and he deduced that the main force of the Ming army was resting in Qingzhou City after a big battle the day before yesterday, and he was no longer able to rush to help, or when you rushed to help, he had broken through the city and entered the city.
Dreams are always beautiful.
But the reality is special skinny!
Kong Youde, who thought he was unaware, and Nikan, who was also murderous and wanted to vent his hatred, did not expect that when he led 3,000 soldiers and horses out of the camp, he had been detected by the Ming army scouts, and the little eunuch was already waiting for him in the shade of the trees on the bank of the Beiyang River.
The two walked slowly, all the way thinking about how to break Linzi City as quickly as possible and how to slaughter the people to vent their hatred...... The more I think about it, the happier I get.
When I walked nearly 20 miles, I suddenly heard that the spies came to report: I detected that a Ming army appeared in the southeast, which should be from Qingzhou.
Kong Youde and Nikan suddenly changed color, and the chance encounter was still targeted?
When he was a little hesitant in his heart, the spy reported again: about 2,000 troops, really coming here.
", people are just running for us" Kong Youde sneered, Nikan was furious: "Two thousand soldiers and horses are here to find trouble, and our Daqing Iron Cavalry is now a piece of paper!" ”
"But no, the Ming army took advantage of it and thought it was invincible in the world, and I didn't know how to write death," Kong Youde said viciously.
"Lord Geng, you are the main general, whether to fight or wait and see what happens, you are in charge!" Nikan stared at Kong Youde and asked, his expression extremely hideous.
"Since we have encountered it, if we don't kill it, we will really be a paper paste, if its heavy troops fall, it will be fine, only two thousand soldiers and horses, it will be defeated first, and then it will not be too late to fight Linzi!" Kong Youde pondered for a while, and then made a decision.
The morale of the Qing army is low, they need a victory so badly to boost their morale, what a great opportunity now!
So Kong Youde gave an order, and the three thousand Qing troops rushed murderously, and in a blink of an eye, they saw the Ming army arrayed several miles away, and rushed over without thinking.
The two sides shot each other with a rain of arrows, directly hitting the horses to hedge.
At the beginning, relying on the strength of the combat power and the superiority of the troops, Kong Youde was full of confidence, and it was not until the two armies were in close contact that he found something that was not quite right.
In this Ming army, there are heavy armor soldiers!
Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the little eunuch for ten years, and the heavy armor soldier is the sign of the little eunuch, and he Nima will not be here.
Kong Youde is a little weak-hearted, firstly, he is really afraid of the little eunuch, and secondly, the heavy armored soldiers are really difficult to handle!
But the arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent, not to mention that it has already been sent, and if it is stopped at this time, it will be defeated, and the consequences will be unbearable! Kong Youde's eyelids jumped suddenly, Nima won't have any leaks.
