Chapter 790: Mountain Rain is Coming
At seven o'clock in the morning, the clouds were even more cloudy, the rain did not rise, but the wind rose, and the monk Nikan Kexi led 8,000 cavalry to resist the nameless village more than ten miles north of Xianghe City, where the Azig camp was located last night.
The village is almost in ruins, and the sores are everywhere you can see, and you can vaguely see the tragedy of yesterday's fighting, which makes Nikan's eyes red, and he is furious that hundreds of headless corpses of Qing soldiers are placed at the head of the village.
The Ming army's demonstration is also a provocation!
"The old paper is determined to step on the Xianghe River, and the chickens and dogs will not be left! Nikan looked at the faintly visible city of projectiles due south, "and his eyes were full of anger."
Shang Kexi glanced at the small city trembling under the rolling black clouds, and said lightly: "The land of a projectile can be leveled at any time, but not now, don't forget our task, if the regent blames the overall situation for a small mistake, you and I can't bear it!" ”
"Ben Beile does things, don't worry about the king" Nikan doesn't like the Han people very much, no matter what kind of king the other party is, he can still restrain himself in front of a few big guys, but he doesn't hide his disgust at all.
Shang Kexi is also a generation of heroes, even if he lives under the fence, he will not look at this little child in his eyes, and snorted coldly: "The king of Baylor has no heart to care, what the king said is serious, and he will concentrate on doing things when he arrives on the ground, Baylor rests his troops again, and this king leads his troops to step on the ......" said that he didn't wait for Nikan to respond, so he led hundreds of soldiers to Xianghe City.
"This king? Hehe, you're just a dog in my Qing Dynasty, a bullshit prince! Nikan looked at the back of Shang Kexi who was far away, took a heavy sip, and then ordered his men to dismount and rest, and sent people around to search for Azig.
Besides, Shang Kexi led a hundred horsemen south to approach Xianghe City, at this time there was no Ming army exploring horses around, and it didn't take long to reach Xianghe City along the muddy official road, and he couldn't help but sneer, showing disdain, it was really a small city with a big slap, and it was easy to break it.
Seeing that there were a lot of people crowded on Chengtou Mountain, and even the fear on their faces could be seen, but Shang Kexi had no appetite for them at all, and the horse turned around near the city gate, and saw that it was muddy here, and it should be a large number of troops entering the city, at this time, I don't know if the Ming army was in the city, but it was certain that they must have entered the city.
"The prince" visited the Malay newspaper: "Traces of the Ming army were found in the south of the city, but I couldn't tell whether they were left when they left the city or entered the city." Shang Kexi went to see it without saying a word, and then followed the traces for several miles, and saw that the traces suddenly became scattered, some to the east, some to the west and some to the south, it was obvious that the Ming army knew that the rainy days left traces, so they divided the troops and confused them.
If you enter the city, you naturally don't need this set, so the Ming army has left the city at this time, this Xianghe is just an empty city, of course, it is not excluded that the Ming army left soldiers and horses in ambush, but these are not important, Shang Kexi and Dolgon have no mind to break this small city at all, they are most eager to jump out of the encirclement.
The east of Xianghe County is adjacent to the Grand Canal in the west of the Chaobai River, which is the fertile soil between the two rivers, and there are many branches of the west flow interspersed in the range of more than ten miles in the south of the city, and the nameless one where Azig is stationed, the canal is just a bend here, in fact, it is on the west and north banks of the canal, but if the Qing army wants to continue to go south, it must cross the river from that village, fortunately, the river has been cut off in many places for many years in the drought, and it is not difficult to cross the river.
Shang Kexi rode his horse to the bank of the Chaobai River in the east, and when he saw the abundant vegetation, he asked the spies: "The Ming army scouts can be found in the south" The spies replied: "There are groups of interceptors five miles away."
Shang Kexi smiled: "The Ming army will be somewhere south of the country" Speaking of this, he couldn't help frowning, the Ming army was only thousands of thousands of people who couldn't stop the tens of thousands of iron horsemen of the Qing army, why didn't they escape, could it be that they were still dreaming of waiting for reinforcements to encircle? Or do you have to meet a ruthless character, you must be praying mantis blocking the car and crying when you see the coffin, is there still such a bold and bloody Ming army in these years?
Returning to the nameless village, Nikan hurriedly greeted him: "Is the Ming army still in the city?" Shang Kexi saw that his eyes were full of red silk, although he was in high spirits but his face was tired, after all, everyone had hardly slept last night, and he was already tired from galloping for dozens of miles overnight, so he said: "I have a good rest for half an hour, ready to rush the pass."
"The Ming army is no longer in the city?" Nikan was stunned, Shang Kexi nodded slightly: "I don't know who this Ming will be, but it's definitely not a good stubble, at least there is goods here, and he pointed to his head!" ”
Nikan snorted coldly: "If there is really goods here, you should stay in the city to save your life, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses want to stop me, but I am afraid that my head will be broken."
"Baylor also knew that he was undoubtedly blocking the car with an egg against the stone mantis, and he must have known it himself, but why did he do it?" Shang Ke is happy to laugh but not laugh.
"Didn't you say that my head was broken?"
"What if the head isn't broken," Shang Kexi snorted coldly! Nikan had a look on his face: "If it weren't for a good head, then this person is indeed a ruthless person as you say, either he has other strategies to resist the enemy, or he has the determination to fight to the death, such an opponent is indeed terrifying, but ...... At this time, is there still such a person in the Ming army? ”
"This king can't figure out who in the Ming army is so bred with seeds, and he is so lucky to be touched by the two of us, so he has to meet for a while!" Shang Kexi sneered and looked up at the sky: "At most, you will see the height in an hour."
"Where is the Ming army at this time, and what is the strength of the army?" Nikan asked.
Shang Kexi said lightly: "The strength is unknown, but it will never exceed 10,000, as for where it is, ......" raised his hand and pointed to Nanxianghe City: "Between the two rivers, there is a place within more than ten miles of the south of the city, we don't have to bother to find their foothold, he is to intercept us, he will take the initiative to appear."
Well, Nikan slapped his thigh: "King Zhishun is scheming, and with you in charge, we won't overturn in the gutter this time" Shang Kexi twitched the corner of his mouth: "Baylor suddenly raised this king like this, is this a precautionary measure?" ”
Nikan laughed: "King Zhishun was still confident just now, why is he suddenly so petty again, in broad daylight now, there will be no ambush by the Ming army, just rely on our 8,000 iron horses, not to mention more than 10,000 troops, even 20,000 can give him a mess, what is there to be afraid of!" ”
King Zhishun nodded slightly: "What Baylor said makes a lot of sense, let's not brag about it, take a good rest for a while to see the real ability, break the enemy early, and don't miss the regent's plan" said and said: "The regent should be close at this time."
Nikan shook his head: "Burdened by the baggage, at most it is only more than ten or twenty miles, so far it is at noon" Shang Kexi hummed: "That's not slow, just when we open the road, once you jump out, the sky is high and the birds will fly, and let the Mingjun wander behind the buttocks."
"Factory Supervisor, good news, good news!" In a daze, Chang Yu was woken up, turned over and got out of the tent to see Chen Sole's face excited: "Factory superintendent is a big victory, a big victory!" ”
Chang Yu frowned: "What kind of victory, General Zhou's?" ”
"No, it's General Li Yan's, just last night, General Li encountered the Tartar vanguard in Xianghe, attacked the enemy camp at night, killed five or six hundred enemies, and captured the Azig......, the prince of Tartar Ying."
What, what the hell, Chang Yu was a little confused: "Captured Prince Ying,,, Azig, what, hold the grass, Li Yan caught Azig, is it true?" ”
"Seriously" General Li's scouts rushed here overnight, and it was true, and he grabbed the haggard Ming army behind him: "Tell the factory governor quickly."
The scout didn't expect that the young man in front of him turned out to be the overseer in Li Yan's mouth, so he quickly knelt down but was dragged into the tent by Chang Yu: "Start from the beginning, what you have seen and heard is exactly what you say" and then asked Chen Suole to call Huang Degong and others.
