Chapter 776 - Demarcation of land as boundary
The commander of the Qing army was killed and fled in panic, the reinforcements of the Ming army flocked to him, and the two fierce generals were like demons in the battle to kill people like mowing grass mustard and no one could stop them.
The rise of Tu Yuan and Ji Ji Ke killed, led the troops to chase after the two miles to collect the troops and return, but saw Chang Yu standing next to the mount with a helmet, his eyes slowly scanning, corpses everywhere, white bones and blood all over the ground, the soldiers of the Black Panther Battalion and the Black Wolf Battalion were full of devastation, the knife marks on the armor were vivid, everyone was wearing rough clothes, trembling all over, and almost losing their strength.
Shaking is not fear, but indignation for the comrades who died in battle.
Dog Tartar! Chang Yu raised his head and roared, the sky was thunderous, and the scalp of the people who shook him was numb.
The corpses of the Ming army everywhere made Chang Yu angry, but more guilty.
After a long illness, Dorgon will dig a hole for himself.
Chang walked by the river, and finally got his shoes wet, Chang Yu never expected that he was attacking and killing the enemy to vent his hatred, but he was pecked by the wild goose and suffered heavy losses, and if it wasn't for Tu Yuan and Ji Ji to come to help in time, the consequences would be unimaginable, even if he was not captured or killed in battle, if he wanted to escape and ascend to heaven, he would have to pay a price countless times heavier than now!
This battle is like a basin of cold water, poofing from head to toe to wake Chang Yu up: he is too smooth!
From the time of crossing to the present, he has been invincible in everything, he has no last resort, and he is invincible, although he always reminds himself to be cautious, but it is still inevitable that he will be a little fluttering and underestimate the heroes of the world.
There will be rain in the madness, and woe to the madness, Chang Yu clenched his fists, this time the price is too great! The two battalions of soldiers and horses under his command were almost halved, and all this was caused by his own arrogance.
Even if he had withdrawn his troops in time when he found reinforcements from the Qing army before, he would not have suffered such heavy losses, but he was too conceited......
Chang Yu looked up and shouted with a sad and indignant face, and the soldiers under his command knew that he was extremely angry in his heart at this time, and no one dared to speak out and looked at this little eunuch who was a little hysterical silently.
Black clouds rolled in the distance in the west, and thousands of cavalry came in the dust, but it was Huang Degong himself who led his troops and horses to come to help, and when Chang Yu saw his face, he glanced around and couldn't help frowning, it was so tragic!
"Lord Factory Supervisor......" Huang Degong coughed lightly and thought about how to comfort the little eunuch, but anyone with eyesight could see that the little eunuch hit his head.
"Collect the corpse and return to the camp!" Chang Yu didn't wait for him to finish, turned over and hung up his helmet, patted the horse and left, and the soldiers followed, Huang Degong sighed and waved his hand to his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, and then hit the horse to chase Chang Yu.
On the bank of the canal more than ten miles southeast of Tongzhou City, Dolgon looked up at the cloudy sky, frowned, how is this day so strange, the sky is still clear in the morning, and the black clouds are overwhelmed and thunderous in the blink of an eye.
"Brother Fourteen, there is a big town ahead...... Hey, here's coming" Duoduo, who was accompanying him on the left and right, was talking, suddenly raised his hand to the northwest, and said with a chuckle: "It seems that Kong Youde has succeeded!" ”
Dolgon turned his head to look and saw hundreds of Qing soldiers in the northwest galloping towards him, and frowned: "I'm afraid it's been in vain again!" ”
"Useless things" at this time Duoduo also saw it, if he returned from a big victory, he would already be excited, and at this time, although he was far away, he also looked embarrassed.
The gelding dog is really hard, and it hasn't been gnawed down! Dolgon sighed: Heaven will not grant my wish!
"Kong Youde, why are you such a waste!" Still far away, Duoduo raised his hand and pointed at Kong Youde, who was just about to speak, and scolded, one of the dignified Sanshun kings was frightened and quickly jumped off the horse to Dolgon with a panicked face: "The prince is angry, the slave should die...... When he saw that he was about to succeed, the Ming army sent reinforcements to ......"
Kong Youde recounted the front and back in detail, of course, he was scattered and fled by Tu Yuan and Ji Jike's reinforcements, but he didn't say a word.
Dolgon was silent for a while, and wanted to say something, but finally sighed long, beat his horse and ran towards the big village in front of him, and Dolgon came to Kong Youde: "See what that eunuch looks like?" ”
"Fanged Ghostface"
"So ugly?" Duoduo was stunned.
"Mask, mask, that little eunuch is wearing a ghost-faced fanged mask......" Kong Youde hurriedly said.
Duoduo frowned: "The ...... who pretends to be a ghost" was saying that his eyes were looking to the northeast, and several horses were galloping across the river and turned to him: "Report to the prince, a large number of Ming troops have been found in Sanhe to follow up."
Ah, Duoduo and Oilcon glanced at each other: "How many soldiers and horses?" ”
"Report to the prince, the periphery of the Ming army is heavily guarded, and the minions cannot get close, and it is estimated that there are more than 10,000 ......"
Yesterday, the Qing army was ambushed by the Ming army in the territory of Sanhe, losing hundreds of people, which provoked Dolgon's anger, and everyone speculated that it was the Ming army stationed in Jizhen, but from the overall situation and strategic consideration, Dolgon was too lazy to pay attention to the soldiers and horses, and the loaches in the ditch could not set off big waves.
The governor was unexpected, and the Ming army, which I thought was no more than 1,000 at most, became more than 10,000 and actually followed, and the two were slightly surprised and hurriedly went to inform Dolgon.
In a village on the bank of the Grand Canal twenty miles southeast of Tongzhou City, more than ten corpses were still steaming, and Dolgon walked into the courtyard of a rich man in the village with a gloomy face, and looked around and walked into the house, where wine and meat were already ready.
After a short time, the generals were summoned to the hall for a meal, and Duoduo hurriedly came to tell Dolgon the news that the Ming army was coming from the northeast, and everyone was stunned, and their eyes looked at Dolgon.
Hmph, Dolgon sneered: "What's there to make a fuss about, in previous years, there was no one who followed the east, west, north and south, but this year it is closer."
When everyone thought that this was indeed the case, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Even if it is different from the past, this matter still needs to be careful, and the Ming army has to guard against treachery" Shang Kexi was slightly worried, and Dolgon snorted: "Pass the order to go down, demarcate the land as the boundary, as long as the Ming army enters within thirty miles, it can take the initiative to attack, if it is outside the boundary, let it follow, you just concentrate on plundering."
"Lord, the slave has nothing to do and please ask the prince to solve his doubts" Geng Zhongming, who has always been silent, suddenly spoke, and Dolgon glanced at him: "Say."
Geng Zhongming cleared his throat: "The prince plans to go south into Shandong to plunder, but the Ming army is unusually reluctant to follow, whether it will suddenly besiege is not mentioned, but Shandong has been in detail twice in the past few years, and even Jinan City has been turned over, I'm afraid there is no oil and water to fish."
"If you don't go south, where you go, to the west?" Duoduo snorted.
"Prince Yu said with a smile, the western Hebei has just been plagued by thieves and soldiers, like locusts crossing the border, the grass and trees do not grow, and there is no oil and water" Geng Zhongming smiled embarrassedly, and Dolgon exhaled: "Geng Er, there is no oil and water in the southwest, do you want to go east?" ”
"Geng Zhongming came to the spirit" in the words of the prince's wisdom: "We can go south to Tianjin, through Cangzhou, Hebei Province, and go straight to the southeast to Qingzhou, Qingzhou is the fief of King Heng of the Ming Dynasty...... Hey, hey, hey".
The princes of the Ming Dynasty are all rich and rival the country, and they have a palace comparable to that of several cities, so Li Zicheng has the best slogan to call the prince a professional household. But the Qing army also tasted a lot of sweetness, the Dewang Mansion in Jinan City, and the Lu Wangfu in Yanzhou, which was really full of money, and it was fascinating to think about it.
Sure enough, as soon as the words landed, all the generals looked bright, and they all echoed that it was feasible, feasible, and feasible.
"Isn't that going to attack the city again, Brother Wang said before that this time he only plundered the village fort and not the city?" Duoduo looked at Dorgon.
Dorgon frowned in thought.
Geng Zhongming hurriedly said: "Prince Yu, Qingzhou is just a city, with our tens of thousands of soldiers and horses besieging the city, maybe we don't need to do anything at all, then King Heng opened the city gate, you don't see the place where the thieves passed, waved your hand and the defenders in the city surrendered, could it be that the prestige of my Daqing Iron Cavalry is not as good as the grass and mud legs?" ”
"What General Geng said is extremely true" Kong Youde opened his mouth to help: "There are lessons from the previous King of Jinan De and King Lu of Yanzhou, if King Heng does not want to be destroyed, he must know the current affairs, and take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he does not surrender, we can't break it, and the harvest of plundering in its territory is far better than Jinan and other places, after all, it has been scraped by us several times."
Duoduo sighed, nodded in agreement, and looked at Dorgon: "What do you think, Brother Wang?" ”
Dorgon held his glass, frowning, and silent with a solemn and contemplative expression.
Geng Zhongming said again: "Lord Wang, at this time, the Ming army is close behind, in case of siege...... Although we are not afraid, wouldn't it be lighter to defend one city according to one city...... Once it is taken and attacked, retreated and defended, with Qingzhou Mansion as a base, let the horses plunder around, how the Ming army tosses is also in vain, when will we eat and go...... Behind the high walls of Jinan City, we are not easy to fight, and the small Qingzhou Mansion City ......"
"It's according to your wishes" Dolgon laughed and got up, picked up the wine glass and went to Geng Zhongming: "It is said that you Geng Er is good at scheming, and it is a blockbuster."
Dolgon appreciated, Geng Zhongming was overjoyed and raised his glass to thank him, and the remaining two kings showed envy.
