Chapter 723: Something Happens to the South
The east was white, but there was no red light flashing and the earth was bright, and Chang Yu, who was already hoarse in his voice at the head of the city, suddenly sighed, looked up at the sky and stretched out his hand to catch it, and it was raining.
When the Tartars entered the customs, it was sleet in the capital, and the weather was clear and cloudless these days, but it rained suddenly when the Tartars attacked the city, and God's mind was really unpredictable.
The rain gradually became heavier, the wind gradually became more urgent, and the sky gradually became brighter, and the officers and soldiers in the city finally saw clearly in front of them, and the dense Tartars under the city were tens of thousands of people from west to east, rushing towards the city wall like a fierce spirit.
The real tough battle is coming.
"This rain is really good, it's really timely rain" Dolgon outside the city looked at the sky and laughed, once the rain fell heavily, the artillery of the Ming army would stop, at that time it was a real sword and a real gun, and with his strength, his chances were greater.
But everything has advantages and disadvantages, although the rain can make the Ming artillery silent, but it also adds a lot of difficulties to the city, the rain is slippery and wants to go up to this several zhang high wall, when you will Wudang Tiyun Zong...... Chang Yu sneered at the head of the city, looking at the Qing soldiers who were bravely building ladders to attack the city, and roared vigorously, sons, send him to hell...... Immediately, he opened his bow and shot more than ten arrows in a row, and the arrows were fired to kill more than ten Qing soldiers until he was exhausted.
In the face of the crazy Qing army, although the soldiers of the Beijing camp were frightened, they also had to do their best, shoot arrows with bows, throw stones endlessly, attack from afar and prevent dripping water, Chang Yu watched for a while, and saw that although the Qing army under the city was brave, it was still extremely difficult to come up.
Dolgon mobilized 20,000 troops to take advantage of the night cover to seize the beach moat and successfully landed at dawn for nearly an hour, and quickly sent men and horses and siege equipment to the city to launch a fierce attack.
Thousands of Ming civilians were forcibly expelled and braved the rolling stones and arrows on the city to help the Qing army transport siege ladders, siege vehicles and other equipment to the city, and the slightest hesitation or hesitation would be cut down.
At the same time, in the roar of 20,000 Qing army Duoduo, Zhang Gong waved his sword and attacked the city......
Boulders, sassal wood, gold juice, arrows fell from the sky like a torrential rain, in the face of the invasion of these tigers and wolves, how could the Ming army be soft, let you be as fierce as possible, Lao Tzu is condescending to be the first blow.
"Iron Pillar, Iron Pillar" Chang Yu watched the battle for a while, looked left and right, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Someone is delivering!" "The fierce battle has been more than an hour, and the rolling stones and sassalwoods on the city are getting less and less, but fortunately, there are spare parts under the city, and there are always people and horses to send fate at any time.
Li Tiezhu took the order and left, Chang Yu stared at the arrow tower and watched, and then Hu Ling hurriedly walked over: "Overseer, the Tartars of Deshengmen are attacking very fiercely, and they have almost been on the top of the city several times."
Chang Yu didn't reply, and said coldly: "Someone sent an order to the past, if you let the Tartars go to the city, you will be beheaded from Wang Jiayan down!" ”
Hu Ling and Li Muxian couldn't help but beat the spirit.
As soon as Hu Ling left, a herald hurriedly ran over: "Lord Factory Governor, Nancheng has not yet started a war!" ”
Forehead? Chang Yu raised his eyebrows, full of doubts! What is Dorgon doing?
"There are more than 1,000 Tartars flowing back and forth along the moat in the west city, and there are thousands of Tartar soldiers in the south of the city and outside Yongding with siege baggage, but they have not moved...... herald soldiers.
"Is there anything else the Tartars are doing otherwise?" Chang Yu asked again, and the herald nodded: "It is reported that 5,000 Tartar cavalry are heading south......"
Wipe! Chang Yu was stunned, he didn't attack the city as expected, but went south, why is this, he couldn't help but look at Li Muxian.
Li Muxian lowered his head and pondered for a while: "If it is not bad, it should be the actions taken by Lord Shangshu and General Huang in the south, which caused the Tartars to give up the siege and go south."
Chang Yu frowned and thought about it, he really couldn't think of any other reason for the Qing army to give up attacking the city and go south, but he had ordered the soldiers and horses on the southern front to wait for the order and not move without permission, could it be that there was something variable over there, or who was the one who made the initiative to attract the Qing army to go.
It's just that the big war is raging right now, Chang Yu has no time to think about it, and orders Jia Waixiong to keep an eye on the movements of the Qing army outside the southern city, and if there is a chance, he can adapt to the situation and go out of the city to invite the battle, and then he devoted himself to commanding the defensive battle, but he didn't know that something really happened in the south.
Azig and King Sanshun were originally ordered to attack the imperial capital from the southern city, but why did they suddenly surround it and send another 5,000 iron horsemen south?
This is naturally the reason, just because when Azig's men and horses had just arrived near You'anmen, they heard an urgent report from the horses, and more than 20,000 Ming troops were really galloping twenty miles to the south.
This news made Azig and King Sanshun very surprised and surprised, the Ming army in the south really had the courage to come, and it was so close! Azig didn't have to think about it, and wanted to raise troops to fight, but was stopped by Shang Kexi, one of the kings of Sanshun, who said that the matter was related to the overall situation, and the chief would discuss sending someone to inform Dolgon.
Azig is a rough and brainless person, he was furious when he heard it, pointed to Shang Kexi's nose and scolded, more than 10,000 Ming troops are vulnerable, it is not too late to kill them and attack the city, and they will be improvised, this matter is urgently reported and decided again and again, the Ming army is hit in the face, if the Ming army in the city suddenly kills, two flanking attacks, wouldn't it be bad......
The three of them knew that they couldn't stop him, but they didn't dare to misunderstand the overall situation and heard that there was a bit of truth in his words, so they didn't dare to take it lightly, and the four of them decided to divide their troops as soon as they discussed it slightly, and Azig and Kong Youde led five thousand elite horsemen to the south to meet the battle, while Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming stayed under the city to contain the Ming army in the city.
The Qing army had already discovered that there were tens of thousands of Ming troops in Daxing, and now there were more than 10,000 cavalry, and Azig only led 5,000 people to meet the battle, is it too big?
At least Azig doesn't think so, the combat power of the Qing cavalry is absolutely invincible at the end of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the only remaining point of Guanning iron cavalry in Wu Sangui's hand is slightly inferior, only when the momentum is like a rainbow, it can also be a draw, and all walks of life in the introspection are invincible, not Azig is arrogant, but the reality is this cruel, in the face of the Qing army, the Ming army is not as good as the combat strength, and the second is afraid, just like a few hundred years later, a few Japanese devils can occupy a county town with a gun like the bloody reality!
Therefore, Azig has absolute confidence, 5,000 cavalry is enough to break the Ming army by tens of thousands, even if the other party has reinforcements behind him, he is not afraid, he does not believe that the Ming army's backup response can be so fast, he believes that this Ming army came this time just to learn that the Qing army was attacking the city, came to wave the flag to try to contain his side, and he didn't have the heart to fight with him at all.
But who is the Ming army, and how could he send troops here in the early hours of the morning?
As Chang Yu wondered, something did happen to Daxing, and the demon was Huang Degong, who had always been unruly and hot-tempered.
A few days ago, the Tartars entered the customs, Emperor Chongzhen issued a holy decree to transfer the little eunuch who was playing cat and mouse in the south back to the capital King Qin, Chang Yu rushed into Beijing lightly, and the soldiers and horses under his command followed closely behind, but the soldiers and horses under his command in the rest of the month were already exhausted by fierce battles and high-intensity attacks, and at this time to fight the Qing army was undoubtedly sent to the head, so Chang Yu ordered him to rest and recuperate on the spot in Daxing to wait for the order.
Later, he discussed with Li Muxian a tactic of encirclement, pursuit, and interception, and transferred Zhou Yuji and Li Yan to lead their troops to ambush the troops in advance, while Daxingcheng left Huang Degong and Shi Kefa to receive the follow-up soldiers and horses, and waited for orders while resting.
Shi Kefa is the secretary of the military department, old and steady, Baoding City has seen Chang Yu's ability in the first battle and knows that he is not as good as his ability, so he is also willing to be driven by it, anyway, he is to serve the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, in the past few days in Daxing, he has been conscientious and cautious and does not dare to have a trace of carelessness, after all, the current situation is like a pack of wolves waiting for no difference, in addition to listening to the scouts to report information every day, he also personally inspects the military camp day and night.
Shi Kefa is as stable as Mount Tai, but Huang Degong is like a restless red apricot, where can he sit still, seeing that Zhou Yuji and Li Yan have something to do, he is basking in the sun every day except drinking, and his psychology is really depressed.
The Tartars burned and plundered outside the capital, and there were no soldiers or generals in Gyeonggi, but we were idle here every day...... Huang Degong complained to Shi Kefa many times, but Lord Shangshu could only appease him, and the little overseer had his own arrangements and waited patiently for orders.
Patience? If Huang Degong had patience, could he still call Huang Chuangzi.
