Chapter 819: No chasing

At dawn, the east saw white, the Qing army camp on the south bank of the Haihe River gradually became lively, Dolgon got up early in the morning and rode along the river for several miles, looking at the sky across the river and the colorful clouds rolling, and couldn't help but roar and let out a long roar of resentment in his heart.

The beauty of the Ming rivers and mountains, every time you linger, come once you fall into a deep point, when can you take all the good rivers and mountains, Dolgon's heart is churning.

It took only an hour for the soldiers to make a fire and make food and leave the camp, and the rear probe Ma Lai reported: The main force is crossing the river at the northern end of the Haihe River, only more than ten miles away from here, and the fastest soldiers and horses of the Ming army are thirty miles away, many less than yesterday, only thousands!

"Thousands?" Dolgon frowned, last evening I had to report that the Qing army had tens of thousands of Wuqing 70 miles away, and this night walked 40 miles, but why were there only thousands of soldiers and horses left?

"Can you check left and right?" Duoduo was also puzzled, guessing that the Ming army deliberately used this force of soldiers and horses to attract attention, and the rest of the army was unprepared to attack the Qing army.

The spy replied: Within 30 miles of the east and west wings, there was no trace of the Ming army.

"Isn't it that the Ming army is tired and won't chase after it?" The vanguard general Nikan speculated wildly, and Dolgon was stunned, but it was possible.

In previous years, the Ming army did not dare to chase, and when they heard the news, they avoided it far away, this year, the Ming army was unusually chasing and biting hard, and it was also incomprehensible that the Ming army could not keep it even, and the Ming army suffered heavy losses in the first war the day before yesterday and chased farther and farther, it is very likely that it will not be chased, and the thousands of soldiers and horses may just be doing it.

If this is the case, then it is really to get rid of this dog skin plaster, Dolgon and the others were relieved, but they did not dare to be careless before the information was confirmed, and ordered the main force in the rear to follow, and the vanguard pulled out the camp to the south, and entered the territory of Cangzhou at noon.

Where did the Ming army go, why is there only a few thousand left in the tens of thousands of Huang De's army?

I'm tired and can't walk!

Huang Degong's headquarters has more than 10,000 people, and the nearly 50,000 troops of the pro-guard army plus 20,000 in Beijing are not trivial matters to eat, drink and lazar, not to mention the supply of grain and grass in the rear, that is, running from Xianghe to Wuqing for nearly 100 miles in one night and night, which has made the soldiers' legs weak and exhausted, and they were unable to rush on the second day.

The Tartar hit the horse in front and fled, although the two-legged one could not run four legs, but it could not be stopped, Li Yan offered a plan yesterday, that is, to chase hard!

Even if they knew that they couldn't catch up, they would put psychological pressure on them, although Huang Degong and Tu Yuan Ji Jike didn't have Chang Yu and Li Yan's brains, the three stinkers still arrived at Zhuge Liang and finally came up with a way to trick the mystery.

Draw out the strong and mix thousands of troops with horses and infantry to chase first, and the main force will rest for half a day after the start, so there is Dolgon's previous guess, thinking that the Ming army will not pursue.

It was nearly noon, and after the soldiers hastily gave birth to a group and ate some, Huang Degong ordered the camp to be pulled, and at this time, the main cavalry force waiting to report to the little eunuch arrived.

It's really fast on four legs! Chang Yu pulled out the camp in the middle of the night and stopped and stopped, and finally slipped to Wuqing, and after seeing Huang Degong, he learned that the infantry was tired and frowned for a while, so he could only let him slow down.

Huang Degong's troops pulled out the camp and left, the cavalry rested for a short time outside the city, Chang Yu rode into Wuqing City with Li Yan and others, the corpses were all over the ground, the ruins and broken walls had become scorched earth, and the eyes were shocking and miserable.

The tartar simply lost his humanity, Chang Yu was so angry that the green muscles skyrocketed, and later generations had read Shi Yangzhou for ten days, and the three slaughters of Jiading were already terrifying and angry, and the impact was even worse at this time.

"Factory Governor, the tactics need to be adjusted slightly!" Li Yan, who had been silent, looked at the mouth lightly, and Li Muxian and Chang Yu turned their heads to look at him with puzzled expressions.

How to adjust?

"Look at the mountain and run the dead horse, chase the horse and run and break the leg, Huang Zongbing's two legs are broken and can't catch up with the Tartar, rather than following behind and being broken by the Tartar, it is better to stay alive and recuperate, wait for the rabbit to give the Tartar a heavy punch."

Li Yan's words made Chang Yu Daigo empowered, yes, the Tartar horse is fast and mobile, and the tens of thousands of infantry led by Huang Degong followed behind as if they were being slipped and played, not to mention that they couldn't catch up, even when they caught up, they were already weak and had no power to parry.

The purpose of the Tartars going south is to plunder, but in the end they still have to go north to get out of the pass, rather than letting the infantry run and break their legs to follow, it is better to rest directly in Tianjin, and when the Qing army goes north, they will directly intercept and cooperate with the cavalry of the Ming army in the rear to break back and forth again!

After the three of them discussed, Chang Yu sent Huang Degong's troops to Tianjin Wei to rest, and his troops rested outside Wuqing City for half an hour, and then left the camp again.

This time, the speed of the march was increased, and after a break of twenty miles, the horses were washed and drunk, and the march was continued after a rest, and in the evening, the main force of troops and horses that had surpassed Huang Degong was less than twenty miles away from Tianjin Wei.

At dusk, the cavalry of Chang Yu's division marched to the mouth of the Weixi River in Tianjin, and when they saw that the vanguard of Huang Degong's division was about to cross the river, they ordered them to stop continuing the pursuit and entered Tianjin Wei to rest.

Not long after, Huang De's thousands of cavalry also rushed to the round, and the infantry under his command were still resting twenty miles away, and they learned that they didn't need to rush to chase the enemy, so they slowly and leisurely.

"Will you rest in Tianjin Wei tonight or continue to chase the enemy?" Huang Degong asked, Chang Yu and Li Yanluo discussed and decided to send a vanguard to pursue first, at least to put psychological pressure on the Qing army.

So Tu Yuan and Ji Jike, Hao Shaoqi led the vanguard to lead 3,000 cavalry to cross the river to the south, and the main force camped on the riverside to rest, Chang Yu with Li Yan, Huang Degong, and Zhou Yuji led hundreds of personal soldiers into Tianjin.

The Acropolis is generally built in the border pass and outside the pass, Tianjin Wei should be the only one in the province, when night falls, Chang Yu several people to this Acropolis that has a history of more than 200 years to go around a few laps very emotionally.

But it also scared the guards in the city, even if they heard it at first, the officers and soldiers were still suspicious, after all, the Qing army just came over yesterday, who knows if it was disguised.

After a lot of effort, the identity was finally determined, and the officers and soldiers in the city opened the door to welcome Chang Yu and his party into the city, but they were also shocked that they were all bigwigs.

The commander of the Acropolis made Xiang Minxin personally greet him and entertain him with a banquet.

During the banquet, Chang Yu withdrew his wine and said that he would ban alcohol during the war, even if Huang Degong was anxious, he did not let go, Xiang Minxin was slightly surprised, he also heard the rumors of the great eunuch of Dongchang, and sure enough, the behavior of extraordinary people must be different.

Xiang Minxin told Chang Yu what he saw and heard about the Qing army's transit yesterday: It can be seen that there is a large army crossing more than ten miles west of the city, but only a few hundred Tartars came to the city to watch and then left, and there was no offense against Tianjin Weiwei in the autumn.

Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji looked at each other and smiled bitterly, Dolgon was really old and shrewd. Then he asked Xiang Minxin about the soldiers, horses, and grain and grass in the city.

Xiang Min knew that he was the great eunuch of Dongchang, and he had the right to verify it at any time, and he didn't dare to lie, so he knelt on the ground with a puff and reported to the bottom with red ears and red ears, there were six or seven thousand soldiers on the books, but in fact there were less than three thousand......

This empty food ...... Although Chang Yu, who was mentally prepared, still gasped, I love Da Ming, you are so sick and injured!

On the side of the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there were 16,008 soldiers in the three guards when the Tianjin Wei was brilliant, but now it is less than 3,000, but think about it, even the Beijing camp and the pro-guard army around the Son of Heaven have also been inferior, let alone local.

Chang Yu's trip is not here to investigate the case, but he can't help but pursue it, but in such a sensitive period, the thunder method is not the best disposal plan, it really doesn't mean that you want to kill it, because the crows in the world are black, you can kill it, killing chickens not only can't set an example to monkeys, but will force those corrupt generals to be afraid, and they will surrender without a fight when they meet the enemy just to find a way to live.

Therefore, Chang Yu did not discuss the crime on the spot, but should eat and drink, stay on duty and probation, and kill if he commits it again.

Li Muxian next to him shook his head with a wry smile when he saw this, but Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and others were expressionless.

Helpless, helpless, at night, Chang Yu muttered to himself in the room, he couldn't fight, he couldn't kill, he had to coax for fear of being scared, he finally experienced that Liu Zeqing refused to go north to King Qin, and Emperor Chongzhen was obviously angry to death and had to send someone to send silver and good words of condolences.

This night, Chang Yu slept extremely badly.
