Chapter 781: Suddenly
Azig has been on the battlefield for a long time, whether it is a battle or a march and camp, it is a veteran, and when he heard the news that the Ming army had been found in Xianghe County, he was really shocked and suspicious, and hurriedly sent someone to report to Dolgon and sent a scout horse to investigate and.
Although they couldn't figure out where this Ming army came from, hundreds of Ergon really couldn't look at it, and when they saw that it was dark, they ordered their subordinates to camp in an unnamed village ten miles north of Xianghe City.
The marching camp has its own exquisiteness, usually looking for high ground near the water is easy to defend the difficult place, but there is no danger to defend the surrounding horse Pingchuan, so they camp in this small village close to the Grand Canal, with the village as the center of the radius of one mile for the camp, and the outer five miles are full of light and dark posts, which is the most common regular marching camp.
It must be a ranger! Azig, who was wandering around the village, couldn't figure out where this Ming army came from even if he broke his head, and could only guess that a certain unit of officers and soldiers happened to come here.
And the intelligence of the horse scouts also confirmed his inference, Azig threw multiple units of the horse scouts to track down and search for the officers and soldiers, but they returned in vain, and the Ming army was more like experienced bandits and cunning.
The water system around Xianghe County is complex, the weeds and forests are dense and people can be hidden everywhere, and it is dark at this time, and the tanma can't track it at all, and he doesn't dare to track it too deeply, because in the blink of an eye, he may not know that he died in a ditch.
"Mother's, Mingbing, thief...... Du Te is a virtue, and he is sneaky like a thief and is unsightly! Azig laughed and scolded, and his subordinates were also nervous when they first heard the whereabouts of the Ming army, at this time they had already concluded that it was just some Ming army routs and only a few hundred, and there was no threat to their hearts, just a false alarm.
If in the past, after Azig figured out the situation, he would definitely disdain that the Ming army still sent troops to break the city according to the original plan, but he didn't know which tendon was wrong, or he was too excited and hard working when he vented his beast desire just now, which caused him to be a little tired now, or he also learned to be cautious, and he didn't order to break the city again, but ordered the soldiers to take strict precautions and rest well, and go to Xianghe County to eat and drink spicy food at dawn.
Azig, who was overly drunk, was a little tired, and went to bed early, and slept very sweetly, wasn't he afraid of the Ming army attacking the camp?
Unafraid!
That's just a group of more than 100 guerrillas, the previous dry eggs to hit the stone was just just at the right time to see that there were few Qing soldiers, and it may not even be clear that the identity of the Ming army thought it was a thief before playing a sneak attack, if you knew that there were 3,000 Qing troops here, I am afraid that you would have been scared and asked your grandfather to spare his life.
Besides, even if any of them had the courage to attack the camp, hundreds of people would undoubtedly come here to seek their death!
Late at night, the wind is rising!
The dark clouds drifting from the sky silently obscured the starlight, and the Qing army camp in the nameless village gradually became quiet.
"Hey, there's a fire over there......"
At first, I didn't know who found it, but there was a fire looming in the distance due east, and it gradually became a pile of two or three or four clusters, oh not a few pieces, each piece seemed not far apart, but it was about half a mile from the distance.
The Qing army police were suspicious, because the east side of the village was close to the Grand Canal, and the fire was at least a few miles away from the east bank of the canal, and even the enemy army was fearless, after all, it was separated by a large river.
"Hold the grass, it can't really be the Ming army, look at this scale, there are hundreds of people......" The sentries discussed, and saw those fires jumping around, sometimes far away, sometimes coming.
Soon one of the Azig generals on duty received the news, and when he went to the river to look at it, he was puzzled: Could it be the Ming army from before? How did they cross the river and go there, could it be that they were afraid that there was a large Qing army here, and they fled far away in fright.
Just when he was feeling good, several spies came in a hurry and reported that they had just discovered a group of men and horses sneaking across the river a few miles south of Xianghe City, and the two groups of people had clashed and fled......
The general snorted and laughed, and could vaguely see the lights on Xianghe City in the distance, and said coldly: "If you want to escape, run away quickly, there is no grass ......growing in Ming'er's army."
"My lord, will the east side be the Ming army just now, they ran over there to do something, and there is even a torch lit, so ostentatious...... "A Qing army asked the general.
The general shouted: "Nine times out of ten, it must be that we found our army here, if you don't run away, will you wait for death, as for what they are doing over there, there are also our men in the east, and they will come to report ...... soon."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the south, frowned and looked at the torches running over, and the spies looked eager: "Report, my lord, a few miles south of Xianghe City, there are suddenly Ming army scouts and our spies fighting, look they want to drive our men away from the vicinity of Xianghe City......
Well? What are you doing, the Qing general looked puzzled, and after thinking about it, he thought that something was wrong, so he wanted to go to the village and decide to inform Azig.
"My lord, a small guess may be that there are other people in the east, and at this time, the demons in the south are the Ming army just now, if it is expected, they want to enter the city to hide!" A Qing army beside him said in a low voice.
The Qing general glanced at him: "Don't be clever if you don't have a brain, if the Ming army wants to enter the city, why wait until now?" And what's the good thing about them entering the city, this projectile city can't stop my Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry at all, and it will be broken in an instant, and they will not only be unable to avoid trouble when they enter the city, but they will not be able to escape death......"
As he spoke, he suddenly heard a commotion in the distance, and for a while he couldn't tell what was happening in which direction.
"My lord, west!" The faces of a few Qing soldiers around them suddenly changed, because they heard a faint rumbling sound, it was not thunder, it was the sound of horses' hooves, and it was absolutely impossible for hundreds of people to have this formation and movement!!
Not only the faint sound of horses' hooves, but the western edge suddenly lit up, and it became brighter and brighter...... The Qing general ran to the village with a shocked face, shouting loudly: "Lord Wang, the enemy is attacking!" ”
Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!
The entire barracks were warning almost at the same time, but many Qing troops who had been carefully studying in their sleep did not react, where the enemy attack came from, and where it came from.
Those in the east woke up to see a flash of fire in the east, and those in the west saw a cloud of fire rolling in the distance, and soon there was a ...... in the south, "We are surrounded......"
I don't know who shouted!
How could he be surrounded, Azig, who was awakened, hurriedly got out of the house and turned over his horse, rushed out of the village with a knife, and went around in half a circle, shocked and frightened, where did so many Ming troops come from, how could they suddenly rush to him unconsciously, and those damn police posts didn't warn in time......
However, at this time, Azig did not have time to guess where the Ming army came from, let alone angrily pursue the outlying police posts, because the Ming army in the west had already killed in front of him, rolling towards the village like a huge wave......
There are more than hundreds, thousands of people, Azig hurriedly ordered to organize a counterattack, this kind of plain area, for the cavalry of the Qing army, there is almost no such thing as attacking and defending, and they rush directly! Recoil! Scatter and kill those Ming troops who came to attack the camp, and let them know how powerful the Qing Iron Cavalry is!
