Chapter 756
A few miles north of Tongzhou City, at the confluence of the Wenyu River and the Ba River, more than 10,000 cavalry led by Duoduo and Azig are resting on the riverside, the soldiers are disarming and dismounting or taking a dip in the shade of a tree or playing in the water in the river.
In a small village by the river, Duoduo and Azig and their subordinates would take a dip in the shade of a house, eating meat and drinking a lot, and a few fresh corpses in the corner of the courtyard were still hot.
"The weather is so hot, what if the Ming army doesn't come?" Azig asked as he wiped the blood from the steel knife in his hand as he looked at Duoduo, who was really holding a leg of mutton and gnawing on it.
According to the latest information, more than ten miles to the west, the Ming army was found to be scouts, these scouts behaved toughly, although they did not take the initiative to attack, but they did not flee from the wind, and even intercepted the Qing army spies to continue to reconnoiter westward, so it can be concluded that there must be a Ming army nearby.
"If he doesn't come, we'll go over," Duoduo wiped the greasy corners of his mouth, and glanced at the sky outside, "It's so hot, and the Ming army will also hide in a cool place to rest, not to mention that in my opinion, they don't have the courage to go further, so much fanfare is just to show Emperor Ming, I don't believe that I will definitely stay until dark, and I don't know where to hide."
Azig nodded, he was rude and unscrupulous, and Dorgon sent an army to tell him to take the lead of Dordor with his horse, such as waiting for the rabbit at the confluence of the two rivers.
The reason is very simple, the weather is hot, the Ming army must choose the water to march, and the east-west direction of the Ba River is just the way, so instead of going head-on, it is better to wait for the rabbit, eat and drink enough, and wait for it to be beaten in front of it.
Of course, at this time, Duoduo speculated that the Ming army did not dare to come, and took advantage of the hot weather to recuperate first, and when the sun set was cool, the cavalry traveled more than ten miles quickly, but in the blink of an eye, they could also kill the Ming army by surprise.
So, it's better to eat and sleep well now, and talk about it when it's cooler.
Smart people always think in unison, and stupid people will also have heroes who see things the same way, we don't know if Duoduo is smart or stupid, but Huang Degong is definitely not a smart person.
Huang Degong in the camel camp wanted to take a rest after eating and drinking, but the weather was too hot and smelly sweat, and he finally couldn't help but take off his essence and jumped into the dam river and tossed.
After a while, the soldiers came to report to the friendly troops in the rear and asked to see them.
Rear allies? That is naturally the people of the pro-guard army and the Beijing camp, Huang Degong can not look down on these two empty shelves, but the people who come are not ordinary people, they are very powerful people, Tu Yuan, the commander of the Black Tiger Battalion under the command of Dongchang, known as the first fierce general under Chang Yu, the outstanding achievements are unparalleled, the other person Ji Jike, although a little strange, but his combat power can be a god, one person, one horse and one gun, into thousands of troops and horses such as into no man's land, a month ago Zhou Yuji was pursued by the thief army, when the rout he stepped forward, a shot stabbed the thief Luo Hu under the horse, so that Zhou Yuji escaped a catastrophe, and then entered Chang Yu's prestige in the army, and approached Tu Yuan's existence.
This kind of fierce man, since Huang Degong respects the person, he was about to go ashore to see him in a hurry, but at this time, the two figures jumped like a river, shooting its huge waves, Huang Degong was about to scold the soldier for being so short-sighted, when he heard Tu Yuan's familiar wild boar voice, "Tete, Huang Zongbing, can you still fight when it's so hot today?" ”
"Play a ball, how comfortable it is to soak in the water on this hot day" Huang Degong laughed, "Doesn't the little eunuch keep letting us walk slowly, then let's take small steps and don't pull the eggs."
"I'm afraid that if we don't leave, those dog Tartars will come to the door" Ji Jike got out of the water, looking at the east with a somewhat solemn face, "The scouts have been reported, there are a large number of Tartar probe horses testing to cross the line, and they are not far from us as expected."
Huang Degong shrugged his shoulders, picked up a handful of water and sprinkled it on his face, "Brother Ji is too worried, this hot day said that we don't want to fight, and the dog Tartars don't want to fight either, and their guys in animal skins are even hotter to death!" Said a slight pause, "But when the weather is cold, maybe they will really come to the door, but when they come to the door, Lao Tzu is not afraid, when they come, Lao Tzu will bury them under this camel camp and eat camel!" ”
Huang Degong's words caused the generals and Tu Yuan to laugh, but Ji Jike looked cautious, "If Huang Zongbing really plans to fight with the Tartars here, he has to think about it in the long run, and before sending the troops, the Lord Overseer has repeatedly instructed him not to ......shake him head-on."
"The words of the little eunuch are reasonable, but the Tartars are all cavalry, and they advance and retreat freely, and their combat power is strong, if they really fight, how can we choose, so we have to make many preparations" Huang Degong is an experienced general on the battlefield after all, and he knows the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and me" The general was about to consult with the two before, you see that this camel camp is really good, and what kind of general is there, if you do a battle here......"
In Tongzhou City, Dolgon slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, frowned slightly, and looked at Shang Kexi next to him, "According to the intelligence of the spies, that is to say, the Ming army is divided into two routes, all the way from the north line to the east, at this time from the northwest of Tongzhou City more than ten miles away to rest, all the way from the south line, at this time in the southwest of Tongzhou more than 20 miles away, everyone, what is the Ming army going to do?" ”
Shang Kexi smiled slightly, and picked up the teacup, "Lord Wang, I really can't think of any other reason except for bluffing to make an appearance for the Ming Emperor in the imperial city."
"I think this is also the case" The other two Shun kings, Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde responded in unison, and Dolgon looked at Nikan and other generals, and they all nodded.
It is true that the cavalry field battle, the Ming army's family background in Gyeonggi is really not enough.
However, I can't stand the crowd! This is also the only concern of Dolgon, the spies have detected that the Ming army in Daxing has gone north to the capital of Qinwang, and the Ming army in the city should be tens of thousands.
However, the Ming army should leave a large part of the troops to defend the city, and the maximum number of troops that come out is not more than 50,000, and at the moment it is divided into two places, and it is not difficult to attack them.
"Lord, do you want to lead the troops and horses to destroy the Ming army in the southeast" Kong Youde recommended himself to go, Dolgon shook his head, "That is just a pretense of disturbing the enemy, the main force should be on the northern front, there is no need to waste energy and troops to deal with it, just break its northern line, and the rest will be defeated, and there are not enough soldiers and horses in the city at the moment, so it is not appropriate to disperse the troops."
The strength of the Qing army was only 30,000, and the attack on the capital was slightly damaged, and before noon, Duoduo and Azig led more than 10,000 people to intercept the northern front of the Ming army, and the remaining four more plundered, and there were less than 3,000 soldiers and horses in Tongzhou City.
Kong Youde nodded, and looked at the situation outside, "There will be good news as soon as the evening."
Dolgon smiled, "Maybe sooner."
