Chapter 199: "Acting" with Life (First Update, Ask for Subscription, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
The "monk army" led by Daniel Zhang, with about 7,000 soldiers, were all soldiers of the green battalion of Weihui Mansion in Henan Province who had surrendered at the beginning.
Of course, Gao Jie would not expect to rely on these 7,000 men to defeat the enemy.
Their real effect was to provoke Luckedhun, so that the young general would lead his army in pursuit in a fit of rage.
Lure the enemy deep and ambush them!
This is Gao Jie's tactic.
Of course, the specifics depend on how Daniel Zhang executes.
Anyway, Daniel Zhang followed Gao Jie Lianke to several cities, and he had already become the vanguard of the Ming army, and there was no way to retreat.
Gao Jie does not have to worry about Daniel Zhang's backwatering again.
Although Daniel Zhang's level of commanding troops is at most third-rate, he also knows that scattered reconnaissance cavalry to detect the enemy's situation.
According to the report of the returning scouts, the Qing army was stationed in Hanwangzhai, not far from Ningjinbo.
So how to induce the Qing army to pursue is the first problem that Daniel Zhang needs to consider.
Daniel Zhang had to pretend to pass by by so as not to arouse the suspicion of the Qing army.
And he can't get too close to the Qing army camp. Otherwise, when the Qing army came out in a big way, Daniel Zhang would not even have time to lead his troops to run.
A suitable distance is particularly important.
These are enough problems for Daniel Zhang to have a headache.
After being busy for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and "swaggered" from the mound a mile away from Hanwangzhai.
In this way, even if the Qing army reacted and went out of the village to pursue, it would take some time, and Daniel Zhang, who was prepared early enough, ran away.
Since it is an acting, it is necessary to act like a play, and Daniel Zhang ordered people to put out the Ming army flag that had been prepared long ago, indicating that his current identity is already a high-ranking Ming army general.
After laying the flag, Daniel Zhang set off.
The closer he got to Hanwangzhai, the more nervous Daniel Zhang's heart became.
He knew very well that from here to the Zhangshui River valley, where Gao Jie's army was ambushed, it was forty or fifty miles. Even though they had horses to ride, they had to run for a long time.
Moreover, they all rode inferior horses, and the Qing army under the command of Luck Dehun must have been equipped with high-quality Mongolian horses. In case they are caught up by the Qing army in the course of pursuit......
Daniel Zhang shook his head abruptly, not daring to think about it again.
People sometimes scare themselves to death. If you just don't think about it, it's not so scary.
As he got closer to Hanwangzhai, Daniel Zhang became more and more nervous, and when he was less than two miles away from Hanwangzhai, he got a piece of news that he didn't know whether it was good or bad - the Qing army had killed in a big way.
Obviously, the Qing army sent scouts to detect the movements of Daniel Zhang's army, which would make a move in advance.
For Daniel Zhang, there is only one thing to do now - spread the girl and run!
Slightly more consolingly, the Qing army had to pursue a little longer.
Daniel Zhang's ability to fight is very mediocre, but his ability to run away is a must.
Under his leadership, the "Monk Army" rode the bad horse out of the feeling of a good horse. Rao is the elite of the Qing army riding a Mongolian horse, and he has never been able to catch up.
Sometimes the Qing army shortened the distance to 500 paces, but it was quickly pulled away a little, and in the nearest time the two sides also maintained a safe distance of 3 or 400 paces.
Daniel Zhang was happy in his heart.
This Belle Ke Dehun, who commanded the Qing army, also seemed to be a straw bag, and he knew that if he blindly pursued, he would be one step away from the fish being baited.
But just when Daniel Zhang thought that he had achieved great success, the Qing army, which had been chasing all the way, suddenly stopped.
At this time, Daniel Zhang was directly dumbfounded, and running was not stopping.
It was less than two miles away from the Zhangshui River valley where Gao Jie's army was ambushed, and the Qing army stopped at this time, did they realize something?
Damn, it's disgusting if all the work is wasted.
Daniel Zhang was angry and wanted to jump to his feet and scold his mother, while in the Qing army formation not far from him, Dorobelle Lekdehun and Fan Wencheng were having a brief conversation.
"According to Mr. Fan, this monk army has broken up all the way, is there any fraud in it?"
When Luckett was out of Beijing, Dolgon warned him many times to be calm and calm in case of trouble, and to listen to Fan Wencheng's advice.
Whenever he has to make an important decision, Luckedhun always thinks of Fan Wencheng first.
At this moment, Fan Wencheng squinted his eyes slightly, contemplating.
After a while, he exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "Lord Belle, the things in this world are true and false, and it is not clear whether the false is true or true. But as the minions have seen, it's always right to be careful. ”
No wonder Fan Wencheng was difficult to make a judgment for a while, it was really Daniel Zhang who acted too seriously.
This guy is completely acting in his true colors, which made Fan Wencheng, who once thought that the 'Monk Army' was acting, begin to doubt his judgment.
"Well, it's better to send a vanguard to test it first. What does Mr. Fan think? ”
Fan Wencheng nodded and said, "Lord Baylor is old and respectful, and the slave admires it." ”
Seeing that Fan Wencheng agreed, Lucked waved his hand and said, "Harrelday, Ben Belle ordered you to lead a thousand troops and go to take the head of the thief general." ”
That Harreldey hurriedly replied: "Wow! ”
The discipline of the Manchurian Eight Banners was very strong, especially the Two Yellow Banners.
Harrethai led a thousand elite men with yellow flags, and the entire cavalry team kept a tight distance from each other, not at all as loose as the Mongol cavalry charged.
When Daniel Zhang saw that the Qing army took the initiative to kill, the sorrow in his heart was swept away, and he hurriedly ordered to continue running.
But this time, because the start was a step slow, it was gradually glued up by the Qing army.
The speed advantage of high-quality Mongolian horses is reflected, although the instantaneous explosive power is not as good as that of Arab horses, but it is not comparable to the inferior horses ridden by the soldiers under Daniel Zhang.
There were constantly "monk soldiers" who were cut down and dismounted, and let out a miserable cry.
Daniel Zhang was even more frightened, his legs clamped between the horse's belly, and he was desperately whipping.
Unlike infantry pursuits, in cavalry pursuits, it is difficult to turn around due to the high speed of both sides. Therefore, the pursued party has no choice but to escape. And what the pursuing side has to do is to expand the advantage and keep slashing.
The whole process snowballed.
The cavalry with the yellow flag raised their swords and harvested their lives with ease, as simple as cutting leeks.
Although Daniel Zhang's cavalry was seven or eight times larger than the pursuing Qing army, he never thought of counterattacking.
Hungry wolves enter the flock, hunt and kill wantonly, and take what they want.
The blood spurred Harrertey's deep desire to kill.
They are all hunters who came out of the white water dense forest of the Black Mountain in Liaodong, and they have a very special understanding of hunting.
Ruthlessness and composure are the qualities that a hunter must have, and bloodlust is the key to pushing the hunt to the extreme.
"Kill, kill all the southern dogs at both ends of this gang of first rats!"
Harretty roared in anger and took the lead in urging his crotch mount forward. He slashed several 'monk soldiers' from their horses with several swings of his sword, and let out a burst of wild laughter.
Nangou is a bunch of waste, and there is nothing else but running. This time, he must behave well in front of Dorobelle, cut off enough of Nangou's head to become an official and knight!
