165 The key figure is Emperor Chongzhen

Dorgon stared blankly at the North Shore, and when he saw a red line in the distance, he knew that the North Shore was finished.

Therefore, when he saw the Qing army on the opposite side, like rats crossing the street, he was indifferent. Because he knows that this situation is bound to arise. On the other side, there is no more chance. Even if Yue Tuo and Haoge's subordinates are transferred later, there is no chance to save the defeat.

Listening to the shouts of "Wan Sheng" from the Ming army on the other side, Dolgon's face was very ugly. This is the first time he has seen this. To put it in his heart, he really didn't want to hear it, so he hoped that he would never hear this kind of shout from the Ming army for the rest of his life.

However, this time, I finally heard it!

In this battle, the Qing army on the north shore can escape, and it is estimated that it is the cavalry. As for those foot soldiers, they couldn't outrun the four-legged Ming army at all. According to preliminary estimates, it is estimated that there will be a loss of about 10,000 horses. This will be another unbearable loss for the Qing army, and it will definitely be a great blow to their morale.

With that in mind, he turned his head to look around at the South Bank. Sure enough, as he expected, how high the morale of the Ming army on the north bank was, then how low the morale of the Qing army on the south bank was. Obviously, many people could not accept the fact that the Qing army was defeated.

Turning his head, when Dolgon looked at the Ming army on the other side again, suddenly, his eyes bulged, and he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

I saw the other side, the Ming cavalry that was rolling in just now, and the mounts under the crotch turned out to be all kinds of horses.

Although he was only in the prime of life, he spent most of his time in the army, so just by looking at it, he could find that many of the Ming army's crotches on the other side could not be called war horses, and it was impossible to meet the requirements of war horses. What's more, he even found that there were still people in the late Ming cavalry who were riding donkeys and mules.

Suddenly, he felt a mouthful of old blood want to spurt out.

Whoever saw the situation just now would think that it was the Ming cavalry coming to reinforce it. In fact, it is true that the cavalry that charged at the forefront was the cavalry in the Qin army and the Yongwei battalion. Behind, can only be regarded as mounted (mule-donkey) infantry. It can be seen that there are many foot soldiers whose riding skills are really not very good, and they can only barely maintain themselves on the back of the horse without falling.

Such a 20,000 cavalry army is completely different from the imaginary 20,000 cavalry army. If the Qing army on the north bank really wanted to find out that it was just such a Ming cavalry, it would not fail to resist, so they fled in all directions in embarrassment.

Now that they have fled, it is impossible to have the courage to fight anymore. Besides, how can the Qing soldiers who have run away be the opponents of the Ming army with such a rainbow of morale?

At the beginning, Dolgon's heart was very remorseful, feeling that the war on the north shore would not be so embarrassing, if it was steady, if he knew that the Ming cavalry that came to reinforce was just this kind of goods, maybe he could escape back some of them.

But after a while, when Dolgon's eyes were fixed on the various patchwork of substitute animals, he suddenly came back to his senses, and his face suddenly changed and became extremely ugly. It was even more ugly than when he had just lost the battle.

Because he found that the Ming army's war was able to do this step, which was too much beyond his expectations. At almost every step, what Ming Jun did was different from his impression.

For example, the Yongwei Battalion and the Qin Army should obviously be behind the ass of the Qing army, but why, they suddenly appeared here, and it seems that they had long expected that the Qing army would go from this side. Therefore, not only was there camouflage in Tianjin, but the ambush was also hidden so far away. What's even more terrifying is the various animal power under their crotch.

The reason why Dolgon's face was so ugly was that he realized something. A scattered Ming country or Ming army, no matter how elite their individual army is, is not terrible at all. Therefore, although the Ming Kingdom is large, it can be entered by the Qing Dynasty, but it can be regarded as nothing.

However, now Dolgon found that not only did the Ming army unite and no longer scattered, but the mobilization ability of the Ming State also surprised him very much. Not to mention the donkeys and mules on the other side, just those various horses, he could see that many of them should be horses of rich families, and even many precious breeds, as well as stallion mares and the like.

For the sake of this war, the Ming Kingdom was able to put together all these horses, wouldn't it prove how strong the mobilization ability of the Ming Kingdom was! Regardless of this mobilization capacity, coercive or voluntary, these are not important, what matters is the result.

Think about such a huge territory of the Ming Kingdom, such a huge amount of manpower and material resources, if it can really be mobilized like this in the future, then the Qing Dynasty is just a cold Liaodong, how can it fight with the Ming Kingdom?

Even if Dolgon doesn't know much about the affairs of the Ming court, he also knows that this is definitely not something that Lu Xiangsheng can handle. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look west, looking in that direction, and thought of someone in his heart. Only that person has the ability to recruit so many diverse horses, right?

With this conclusion in mind, Dorgon had no intention of looking at the situation on the North Shore. His heart was extremely heavy, and at the same time he was a little puzzled. If that person in the Forbidden City really has such ability, then why couldn't he feel it a few years ago? No matter what, it's been more than ten years since he ascended the throne, and if he really has the ability, he should have already revealed it!

Not to mention that Dolgon can't figure it out if he wants to break his head, let's talk about the head of Tianjin, Sun Chuanting has already stood at the battlements, rarely smiling and brushing his beard, looking at everything outside the city.

There are horsemen everywhere chasing and killing the Tartars who are fleeing in all directions, and even in many places, you can see groups of Ming people, surrounding the Tartars alone, so that the Ming army can rush over and arrest them as soon as possible. Or, the people of the Ming Dynasty, who are a little stronger, have started directly, and how many people will fight around a tartar, it is estimated that when the crowd around them disperses, there will be no humanoid things on the ground.

Since the Tatars entered the customs, how much suffering has been caused to the people of the Ming Dynasty, and now that there is this opportunity for revenge, who will be soft?

Sun Chuanting thought in his heart, his eyes moved again, and he saw the handsome banner being guarded by a team of cavalry in the distance, it was Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides.

So, he went down to the city with a smile and went to meet him.

The war here was over, and in the rear of the Manchu army, the messenger galloped in and galloped into the army.

"What?" Yue Tuo listened to the military order, his eyes widened in surprise, and he confirmed loudly, "Qin soldiers and the Yongwei battalion are north of the Wei River?" How is this possible! ”

"Did you recognize the wrong flag?" Haoge also opened his two bull's eyes and shouted loudly, "What the hell is going on, isn't the main force of the Ming army behind, and Lao Tzu is also transferred to the back to guard against it." ”

As soon as he shouted like this, Yue Tuo had already come back to his senses after the initial shock, and immediately said to Haoge eagerly: "Uncle is in a hurry, there must be no mistake." The war is urgent, and reinforcements must be sent immediately! ”

When Haoge heard this, he couldn't help muttering loudly: "Could it be another trick of the Ming army, what do you want to do to separate the infantry and cavalry?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Yue Tuo's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and his eyes were a little unkind when he looked at Haoge. He ignored Hauge at all, and immediately gave the order and rushed to the front with his men.

This time, as a rear army, they defended the Ming army, and there was no infantry army at all. This Haoge's brain didn't know what to think, but he would think of separating the foot and riding and separating the ghost!

Seeing Yue Tuo leaving in a hurry, Hauge turned his head to look at the rear, and finally had no choice but to immediately order to rush to the front army. In any case, no one is allowed to disobey a military order, otherwise the military order will not recognize anyone. This point, at least at this time, was still implemented more resolutely.

Such a big movement, of course, Ye Bushu quickly learned about it, and immediately reported the situation to Lu Xiangsheng.

"Good!" When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Jian Yu left in such a hurry, it must be that the war ahead is unfavorable." It seems that in the battle of Weihe, our army won a big victory! ”

As soon as he heard that Yue Tuo and Hauge's troops had left in a hurry, he immediately came to a conclusion and was very happy.

To be honest, although he had made careful arrangements in advance, he was still a little worried. The outcome of a war is not something that can be won with careful arrangements in advance. All kinds of factors can lead to the defeat of a war that was thought to be a sure victory. But now that it has been confirmed, the battle on the Weihe side must have been won, and it is likely to be a big victory, which made the mobilization of the Jianyu army so hasty, and he didn't even care about his own side, thinking about this, Lu Xiangsheng was greatly relieved.

This war, the so-called favorable time, place and people, in fact, were occupied by the Ming Dynasty, with mental calculation or unintentional, even if the combat power of Jianyu is stronger than that of the Ming army, and the equipment of Jianguo is better than that of the Ming army, it is also useless.

The weather was very cold, and the ice covered the Weihe, but it had already passed the most severe time, and the ice surface of the Weihe River could not pass casually, which limited the mobility of the reinforcements.

Jianyu robbed the people of the Ming Dynasty, for the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that there is no evil, and the people's hearts will naturally not be on the side of Jianyu. Whether it was the scattered people who fled to slow down Jianlu's counterattack, or the resentment of the Ming soldiers against Jianlu, it was unexpected by the boss and increased the chances of winning this war.

In the Chinese military tent, everyone heard that Lu Xiangsheng spoke so confidently, and they were all overjoyed. Although they did not participate in the battle of Weihe, they at least had a countermeasure. It's better to be happy than to win a battle than to lose a battle!

So, Wang Chengen and others began to pat Lu Xiangsheng's sycophants, anyway, after such a big victory, the previous loss of Jinan Mansion was not so important. The sedan chair is not carried by everyone!

However, when Lu Xiangsheng heard these sycophants, his face became serious, he clenched his fists with both hands, arched his hand in the direction of Jingshi, and said: "In this battle, the first merit should belong to the emperor." If it weren't for the emperor, we would not be able to start this war at all, so we could only watch the people and materials of the Ming Dynasty looted by Jianyu and the Ming Dynasty went out of the customs! ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately remembered that the emperor was engaged in silver and supported animal power, if it wasn't for the silver that inspired the army, if it wasn't for the animal power to transport troops in time, it was really as Lu Xiangsheng said, this battle would not have been fought at all. Suddenly, they all suddenly realized. Shoot the emperor's ass, they are even better at this. In the tent of the Chinese army, the words of reverence for Emperor Chongzhen are like the water of the Yellow River.

Lu Xiangsheng fell into contemplation after saying it at the beginning, and after a while, after the voice in the tent was a little quieter, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly said with a serious face: "Come on, pass on the military order of this official, withdraw the army immediately, and enter the big city to defend it!" ”

"Ben Bing, what does this mean?" When Gao Qiqian heard this, he said with a little surprise, "Now that the morale of our army is high, how can we retreat when we are really fighting a decisive battle with the remnants of Jianyu?" ”

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he knew that they were carried away by the victory, and based on the identity of these eunuchs as prisoners, he immediately explained: "Most of the elites of the Jianyu army are actually in the rear army to guard against us, because Jianyu thinks that the officials are all the elites of the Ming Dynasty. Now this part of the people has not been lost, that is, the main force of Jianyu is still there. If it is useless for them to go north for reinforcements, they will definitely go south to take revenge on us. With the combat power of these forces in our hands, it is impossible for us to be the opponent of Jianyu at all. With just one charge, our army will be defeated! ”

"Won't it?" Gao Qiqian was a little puzzled, "If that's the case, why don't you defeat me and wait before leaving?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng didn't despise Gao Qiqian and even had a reputation as a soldier, he couldn't recognize this kind of thing? He continued to patiently explain: "The defeat of Jianyu on the other side of the Wei River must have been due to the urgency of the situation, and the Nu chieftain was anxious to salvage the situation, so he urgently dispatched these cavalry troops to reinforcements. However, the reinforcements led by Governor Hong will inevitably arrive faster than these reinforcements, and our army will definitely be a great victory, and it is useless for these cavalry troops to go. In this way, the slave chief will think of our virtual army next, if we can win a battle on our side immediately, for the slave chief, there will be a saying, and it will also boost the morale of the prisoners. ”

As soon as he heard this, Gao Qiqian couldn't help but nod again and again, and hurriedly reminded: "In this case, this soldier should immediately order the withdrawal of the army!" ”

You have to hurry up, this side is all infantry troops, or the guards put together, if they are caught up by the Jianyu cavalry, then everyone will be doomed.

Since Lu Xiangsheng had already proposed, he naturally knew it in his heart, so he began to arrange for the withdrawal of troops. However, he did not go with him, but gathered all the cavalry in the army, mainly at night. In order to prevent Jianyu from exploring the truth and the truth, he still left a lot of nights in his hands.

Subsequently, he explained to Wang Chengen and others: "You lead the infantry army to withdraw first, and this official leads the cavalry army to deal with Jianyu again, and the day when the Jianyu soldiers retreat is the day when we report to the emperor to celebrate the victory!" ”

Gao Qiqian and the others didn't think much about it, anyway, they didn't want them to take risks. However, Wang Chengen asked a little worriedly: "This soldier only brings more than 1,000 horses, what's the use?" Why don't you go to Ayutthaya with the army? ”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, the war is not over, how can this official be withdrawn as the commander-in-chief?" You just wait! ”

In fact, he didn't voice his concerns. In this battle, although the Ming army won from the current point of view, the main force of Jianyu is still there, and the final victory has not yet been decided, so he is a little worried, afraid that Jianyu will have something to do, so he stayed.

The small number of troops is not a problem, Lu Xiangsheng has always advocated the elite line. In the past, he even gave Emperor Chongzhen a chapter to ask for the formation of special forces to suppress the thieves, that is, to form a special elite cavalry army to raid and fight the thieves.

Now he has cavalry in his hands, and he has strong mobility ability, and he does not need to fight to the death, so although he has few troops, he has no burden at all. The only thing to worry about is that Jianyu has fought a big defeat, and there must be a lot of losses, what will they do next?

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in Beijing, had the news of the eavesdropping seeds on Wang Chengen and Wu Zhong, and he had more news about the war than Lu Xiangsheng had to speculate through the news.

knew that the Ming army had won a great victory as they wished, and had rescued hundreds of people. In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be very happy. However, this news cannot be announced yet, so I can only enjoy it alone.

Because of this, when he was happy, he quickly calmed down. Then he immediately thought of a very important question. This problem, relying on Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, I am afraid it will be difficult to solve, and we must solve it on our own side.
