Chapter 782: Fei Lao is very energetic
The last time he said that Azig was awakened in his sleep, and he was shocked when he heard that there was a big enemy attacking the camp, and he put on his armor and mounted his horse to check the entrance of the village, and killed the Ming army in the west with the firelight rushing to the sky, and the horse's hooves resounded through the sky like thunder, and the battle was at least three or five thousand, and when he was in a hurry, he ordered his command to counterattack, trying to use the cavalry advantage of the Qing army to counter the first army.
The strength of the cavalry of the Qing army was not boasted, it was extremely strong and had few opponents at that time, and the Ming army suffered countless defeats under its hands for more than ten years, so that it was terrified.
Under normal circumstances, if the cavalry's strong combat power is not a good way to break the siege, but it is a pity that this time is extraordinary, the Qing army is mostly awakened in their sleep, panicked and even did not have time to put on the armor on the horse, has not yet figured out the enemy, who to resist, the Ming army has been killed, directly rushed in.
Why did the Ming army rush the camp so easily?
Conventional camping, the periphery must dig trenches to arrange the rejection of horses, but Azig is still careless, he never expected that there will be so many Ming troops around, in his opinion, the hundreds of rangers scattered brave is to eat the leopard gall and dare not attack the camp, even if it is coming, there are police posts in the periphery for several miles, the Ming army will be found as soon as it appears, and when it arrives, the Qing army has enough time to directly counterattack and kill the past.
Azig thought so, and his subordinates also thought so, so the camp was a little sloppy, except for the perimeter guard posts, the rest of the basic defense measures were almost non-existent, so the Ming army almost did not have any stagnation, and it entered the camp in an instant, and the Qing army was immediately in chaos!
Seeing that the Ming army poured into the camp and stirred up a thousand waves, Azig was shocked and angry and shouted that the generals under his command were fighting hard and trying to rush out, and at this moment, the pro-army around him shouted: "Lord Wang, there is also an enemy attack in the south......
Ah, Azig was startled, turned his head to look south, countless torches flashed a few miles away, and in a blink of an eye, he came forward, and suddenly froze on the ground: "How come, how come, how can there be so many Ming troops, who can tell Lao Tzu where so many Ming troops came from...... In anger, he waved his knife and cut down several heralds around him.
"Lord, retreat north quickly, the slave is your royal highness" The general next to him gritted his teeth and said, Azig raised his head and punched over, and the dog minion: "Is this king the one who escaped......"
"Lord Wang, let's get into the trap, I'm afraid it's too late if we don't leave", the general covered his face and endured the pain and said, and several people around him also hurriedly spoke out to persuade him.
Azig was furious, raised his knife to cut, but finally did not start, looked sideways, the fire was still flashing for several miles east of the river, but he was not afraid of falling across the river, the Ming army was surging like a huge wave, roughly about 10,000 soldiers and horses, if it was daylight, he was not afraid or could fight, but now it is dark night, the other party is a sneak attack, and the army is afraid of war......
The commander is right, at this time the Ming army from the south and west of the two directions into the camp and is advancing rapidly, or a while to kill the village, at this time if you don't go in the delay, I'm afraid that you can't go if you want to go, obviously into the trap of the Ming army again.
Walk! Azig bit his bite, and finally took advantage of the night to beat his horse and flee due north, looking back at the nameless village that was bursting into the sky, gritting his teeth, Minggou waited, and waited for Lao Tzu to lead the soldiers back to slaughter you.
But where did these Ming troops come from, how could they touch the camp so close and not find it, Azig who was galloping on his horse still remembered this in his heart, he really couldn't figure it out.
"Ming'er Laozi will definitely wash the Xianghe River in blood, this king wants the Xianghe River not to give birth to chickens and dogs, not to ......" Azig was furious in his heart, and he couldn't help but scold in the night sky, but he didn't know that a rolling thunder in the sky scared him a spirit, and he didn't have time to finish his words, which angered him even more, and he was about to point to the sky and scold his mother, when the front suddenly lit up, countless torches loomed in a few miles away, and it was estimated that there were hundreds and nearly thousands, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "The reinforcements are coming, wait for us to kill back" said that the horse was about to gallop.
"Slow down!" The generals around him hurriedly gave advice, Azig raised his eyebrows, nodded slightly, and ordered the tanma to visit, the tanma had not been gone for a long time, and when he heard the sound of killing in front of him, there was no doubt that it was the Ming army......
Oh! Azig was so angry that he couldn't help but scold, and he was about to kill the enemy with his knife, but the generals persuaded him to flee west for his life.
When Azig fled in embarrassment in the night, Li Yan in the north of Xianghe City chuckled, looking at the battle in the distance, and his left hand stroked the handle of the knife on his waist and looked very calm.
seems to be calm and relaxed, but in fact, he has done everything for this sneak attack!
Li Yan's combat power of soldiers and horses is not outstanding, in other words, except for the descendants of a few bigwigs, the combat power of the thief army is very ordinary, and most of them are old oilmen who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, and they can fight if they can't run, and it is not a big problem to fight officers and soldiers, after all, the ranks of officers and soldiers are even worse at this time.
But against the Qing army, which is in full swing, the gap is not small.
Outside the border to help the war, Li Yan was responsible for picking up leaks, and it was also the first time I saw a pig run, it turned out that the combat effectiveness of the Qing cavalry was so strong and so ferocious.
Therefore, when he alone blocked the frontal Qing army this time, there was fear among his subordinates.
As the first soldier and horse, Li Yan knew the arduous task and the heavy responsibility, so he naturally could not allow his subordinates to be so incompetent, if he was defeated in the first battle or fled without a fight, then the rivers and lakes were really no other place for Li Yan to stand, no, it was a place to put his face down.
So this battle must be fought, and won, and it must be beautiful!
The cavalry of the 3,000 Qing Army, if they open up the posture during the day, even if they win, it will be a tragic victory, and the premise is that the soldiers must work together and dare to fight and kill.
Therefore, Li Yan instantly abandoned the idea of being tough with the Qing army, and if he was forced to do so, he might only be able to fight hard, and obviously there was another way at this time!
Raid the camp!
That's when intelligence comes in!
The Qing army is in an unnamed village ten miles north of Xianghe City, east of the canal, in addition to a horse Pingchuan can be defended, if the camp can be broken in one fell swoop.
However, the only difficulty is that even if the camp of the Qing army is not very strong and the defense is not secret, how to prevent its peripheral patrol posts from discovering abnormal movements as soon as possible, otherwise with the mobility of the Qing cavalry, if they are warned in advance, they will have enough time to prepare for war, and it is even possible to fight directly outside the camp with the main anti-guest, and it is really difficult to say who will kill the deer at that time.
Therefore, Li Yan decided to divert the attention of the Qing army's outer police posts, which really cost him a lot of effort.
The scouts reported that the Qing army camped in an unnamed village, and there were light and dark sentinels in the surrounding five miles, of which the southern area was wider, and the Qing army sent a large number of exploration horses to search for the Ming army around the Xianghe.
Obviously, the Qing army thought that the Ming army was only a few hundred people here, and the guard was very relaxed, which can be seen from the fact that it was only five miles outside the martial law camp, of course, this is also a strong self-confidence!
After discussing with his subordinates, Li Yan decided to attack from the west, dedicating two-thirds of the troops led by Qin Songwang to bypass far away, and at the same time, in order to distract the Qing army, he ordered hundreds of people to swim across the river and go to the east bank to pretend to be ghosts.
When Qin Songwang's men and horses entered the designated position, he sent a large number of scouts to disperse the Qing army around the Xianghe River, and the horses were disturbed by the enemy's eyes and ears, so that the Qing army completely ignored the western side.
Li Yan was good at scheming, made the plan extremely detailed and cautious, in order to cover Qin Songwang, he deliberately put fog bombs in the southeast and southeast directions to attract the attention of the Qing army's police posts, but the ridiculous thing was that the speed and ease of the Qing army's hook were far beyond Li Yan's surprise.
The Qing army was careless, and they didn't expect that there were nearly 10,000 Ming troops lurking in the surrounding area, so when an unknown fire appeared a few miles east of the canal, it almost attracted the attention of all the police posts, and some even went to the riverbank to see the real thing.
At that time, Qin Songwang had quietly sneaked to the Qing army camp less than ten miles west, and when the Qing army was slightly alert when the situation came out due south, he ordered a charge!
As soon as Qin Songwang made a move, Li Yan ordered the people of Zhengnan to also attack!
The Qing army met in a hurry in their sleep, not at all, in less than half a pillar of incense, it was killed by the Ming army from the south and west, after a fierce battle between the two sides, the Qing army scattered and fled for their lives.
Do you want to ask, where is Gao Qi, another general under Li Yan's command?
