Chapter 614: The First Defeat of the Confrontation

Seeing the overwhelming arrival of the Tang cavalry, Shaerhuer's face turned yellow with fright.

Okay, looking at the strength of the Tang army, at least three or four thousand cavalry rushed over, the Tang army is so powerful, how can it stop it!

"Withdraw! Evacuate! ”

Sha'er Huda's face was as yellow as paper, and he hissed as best he could, pulling out his horse and turning to flee first.

The main general was the first to flee, and the rest of the Qing cavalry woke up from a big dream, and they also pulled their horses and fled backwards.

The wolves of the Qing army rushed and turned around, and the remaining more than ten Qing army sentry horses who fled behind quickly pursued the Tang army and rushed wildly, engulfing them all like a whirlwind.

The cavalry of the Tang army chased all the way like a dog chasing a rabbit, chasing all the Qing cavalry nearly ten miles away, until they were far out of the range of attack, and then collected their troops back.

And Sha Erhuda, who led the army to gallop and fled all the way, saw from a distance that the Tang cavalry that was pursuing him retreated, and only then did he slow down the pace of escape slightly.

The cavalry of the Qing army recounted, and unexpectedly lost nearly a hundred sentry cavalry, which were estimated to have been killed or dispersed in the pursuit of the Tang army. Of course, these unlucky cavalrymen are hard to find.

In total, Shaerhuda lost a total of more than 250 cavalry, many of which were elite white armor, which was really too great under the premise of failing to complete the reconnaissance mission.

It's not good to be a teacher! It seems that in the future, the Tang army with this town and the far fort will have a tough battle to fight.

Sharhuda lamented in his heart and was ashamed, but he could only lead a group of remnants of the army to retreat in a hurry, and in a short time, he joined up with the large army of Duoduo.

Seeing Duoduo sitting upright immediately, Sha Erhuda was confused and uneasy, but he could only step forward to report it.

"Report to Prince Yu, the slave led the army to investigate, but was suddenly ambushed by the Tang army, fortunately the slave reacted quickly, and hurriedly led the army to retreat, so as to protect most of the soldiers and horses. It is a capital crime for the slave to go and fail to complete the task assigned by Prince Yu......" Shaerhu made up a lie in his heart, carefully watching Duoduo's reaction.

Duoduo's face was tense, his face was very ugly, he was silent for a long time, and finally he only asked coldly: "Sha'er Huda, have you not found out about the Tang Army's defense at Zhenyuan Fort now?" ”

"This ......, the master, the slave is incompetent, and it has not been discovered. However, according to the sentry who fled back, the Tang army had dug a trench around Zhenyuan Fort and made a thorough defense. The large number of artillery carried by our army, if you want to march straight, I am afraid that you will not be able to ......"

Duoduo's thick eyebrows were furrowed, and when he was brushing his beard and groaning, the deputy marshal Shuotuo next to him interjected: "Duoduo, our army is not in a good position, and it is really hateful!" Now that the Tang army is prepared, and the enemy's situation is unknown, our army must not move lightly! ”

"Don't move? Now that our army is about to reach Zhenyuan Fort, what is the point of saying that it should not be moved lightly? Duoduo looked worried: "There is a way that the army must go forward, and Encore can easily retreat." What's more, our army is only a small setback, how can it have a reason to hold back? Could it be that because the enemy's situation is unknown, we can only take these 50,000 troops to sleep in the wilderness, waste time in vain, and then slowly investigate the enemy's situation? ”

was reprimanded by Duoduo, Shuotuo's face was full of shame, and he replied: "Then according to Prince Yu's opinion, how should we act appropriately?" “

"In the eyes of this king, in the present plan, our army is coming, just taking advantage of this sharp spirit, rapid progress, and must not delay the time, and the enemy will be consumed for a long time, and finally the old soldiers of the division will be exhausted, and the effort will be in vain." Duoduo stroked his beard and made a final decision: "Our army's trip can be said not to enter the tiger's den, but to win the tiger, whether it can win quickly or not, all fight here!" “

When Duoduo said this, he immediately shouted the order: "The whole army obeys the order!" The infantry was ordered to move forward in a whole formation, and the cavalry was divided into two divisions, each protecting the infantry flank, and the artillery units followed behind. The whole army sentry all the way forward, all the way to the main road, not to leave the team without authorization, until the town of Yuanbao City, and then make plans. “

"Huh! Minions obey! “

50,000 Qing troops, mightily coming to Zhenyuan Fort, like a large area of boundless dark clouds, soaring murderous aura swept the sky, the momentum is amazing.

In the trench in front of Zhenyuan Fort, the commander of the Tang Army, Duan Shidi, the mayor of Dingbei Town, who had seen the movements of the Qing army clearly with a clairvoyant mirror, showed a faint smile on his face.

"Hmph, the Qing army was really not intimidated by our cavalry, but came straight to our army's main formation. The general expected that the Qing army would come from afar, with insufficient baggage and impatience, and would definitely want to fight a quick battle with our army, but our army was not as good as he wanted. Duan Shidi sneered, turned his head to the deputy mayor Liu Wenxiu and asked, "Wenxiu, have you been prepared for seducing the enemy?" “

Liu Wenxiu's face was high-spirited, and he led his troops to pursue the Qing army's sentry cavalry, and he successfully forced Sha'er Huda to retreat, and now he is even more confident. He heard Duan Shi's question, and immediately replied loudly: "Mayor Duan, our cavalry is ready, just wait for Mayor Duan to give the order." “

"Okay, that commander ordered you, quickly lead 3,000 cavalry, divide into two parts to lure the enemy, as long as you can lead the Qing army to the trap, it will be the first achievement!"

"Order!"

Liu Wenxiu led 3,000 Tang cavalry divided into two parts, and immediately marched forward on horseback, rushing towards the Qing army surging on the horizon.

As soon as Liu Wenxiu left, Duan Shidi immediately ordered Tuo Xingzhong, the deputy commander of the A Battalion of Dingbei Town next to him: "Xingzhong, now the ambush soldiers and horses in various traps are all ready?" “

Tuo Xingzhong replied excitedly: "Mayor Duan, don't worry! He had already ordered the spearmen and musketeers in ambush everywhere to prepare, and when General Liu lured the enemy over, he pulled the collapsed well and buried all the enemy alive, leaving him in a dead situation! “

Duan Shidi was very satisfied, patted him on the shoulder several times to show encouragement, and arranged the rest of the soldiers and horses, and completed the emergency mobilization of the entire battlefield.

At this time, beside them, Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou, who had been staying in Zhenyuan Fort and doing nothing since they joined the Tang Army, were amazed in their hearts when they saw the Tang Army's actions so fast and neat and orderly.

"Alas, I already knew that Lord Li's Tang Army was so powerful and powerful, it was really impressive! How foolish it was that we had no eyesight that day, and we ruined our reputation to surrender to the Qing army! If he had led his troops to surrender to the King of Liao earlier, why should he suffer this humiliation in vain, this soldier would have regretted it. Zu Dashou rubbed his hands and sighed, with a look of remorse.

Hong Chengchou also looked melancholy, he sighed and said: "Da Shou, you think like this, why don't you sigh and hate it!" Thinking that Hong has served the Ming Dynasty for many years, as an important minister of the imperial court, he can only sigh that once Songjin was defeated, and he had to abandon the country and join the enemy, which is really a great shame! Fortunately, Master Li's Tang Army took us in, otherwise, we really don't know how to deal with ourselves. ”

Just when the two of them sighed, most of the Qing army was getting closer and closer, and the Tang cavalry of Liu Wenxiu's troops who were hedging over were getting closer and closer, and the banners and horses were faintly visible.

"Prince Yu! Oh no, you see the cavalry of the Tang Army is coming! “

Sha Erhuda, who was highly nervous in his heart, as the guide next to Duoduo, saw the Tang cavalry rushing from afar, and immediately reflexively thought of the embarrassing situation of being chased and killed. With a shocked face, he hurriedly pointed at the Tang Jun who was rushing over, and reported to Duoduo with a trembling voice.

In fact, why do you need him to talk nonsense, Duoduo has already seen it clearly, he held the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, quickly observed it, and immediately shouted in a deep voice: "Pass on the order of the king, the Tang army has thousands of cavalry coming in two parts, our army pauses its advance, lines up on the spot, and then calculates!" ”

When the 50,000 Qing troops heard this order, they immediately stopped marching and formed a formation on the spot, seeing the two Tang cavalry galloping closer and closer, quickly approaching in front of them.

"Prince Yu, these cavalry of the Tang Army came here to lure me and others to pursue?" Shuotuo on the side reminded carefully.

"Wait and see what happens, and see what means these thousands of Tang Army cavalry have." Dodor replied quickly.

Not long after, Liu Wenxiu, deputy mayor of Liu Dingbei Town, led the cavalry on the left flank and took the lead in front of the Qing army.

Duoduo clearly saw from the clairvoyant mirror that at a distance of an arrow, a white-robed and armored Tang army general with a shining silver spear in his hand stopped his horse and slowly moved forward. After that, thousands of Tang cavalry also stopped at the same time and waited for them.

"Wait for the shameless Tartars, dare to come to my realm! Isn't it impatient to live! “

This Tang army general pointed his gun at the sword, pointed at the place where Duoduo was in the Chinese army, and scolded loudly.

Duoduo suddenly felt that this person's voice was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

He thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered, isn't this person the Tang army general Liu Wenxiu who led the Tang army to build Xilin Gol City on the Mongolian steppe that day?!

At the beginning, fortunately, he led his troops to conquer in time, so that the Tang army could not build a city here, thus eliminating the elbow and armpit problem for the Qing Dynasty. In the battle of attack at that time, Duoduo was very impressed by this brave and good young Tang army general.

It's really a narrow road!

Unexpectedly, this group of Tang troops actually set off from Xuanfu North Road, crossed thousands of miles of grassland, and actually captured Yuanbao in Liaoxi Town, which is very powerful!

Now it is good that he has led his troops to conquer and regain the country, but he has made it look like an invader, and these Tang troops who occupy this place have regarded this place as their own inherent territory, and they are about to strictly defend it and resist the enemy desperately.

What is the taste of this?

A strong killing intent rose from Duoduo's heart.

If you don't kill this person first, in order to frustrate the spirit of the Tang army, how to inspire the morale of the army, how to vent my hatred!

"Shar Huda!"

"The minions are here!"

"This king orders you to quickly take all the cavalry of our army, also divide into two parts, and kill the opposite Tang army respectively!" Duoduo gritted his teeth and said viciously. "As for the Tang army generals on the other side, you must kill this king, bring this person's head to see it, do you understand?!"

"Slaves obey!"

Sha Erhuda answered loudly and turned around to leave, but was heard behind him with a deep voice: "Come back!" ”

"What else does Prince Yu command?" Sha Erhuda said urgently.

"Shaerhuda, this king sent you to attack the cavalry of the Tang Army, you must be careful and not reckless. If the Tang army is defeated and flees, you lead the army to pursue all the way, but you have to be careful, you must not be like last time, you fell into an ambush of the Tang army, so that you lost your troops in vain, do you understand? ”

"The slave understands, please rest assured Prince Yu!"

"Good! If you can kill the cavalry of the Tang Army, this king will give you the first credit! '

"Yes! The minions will never disappoint Prince Yu's high hopes! ”

Sha Erhuda answered loudly on his lips, but his heart was cold.

He knew that the reason why Duoduo told himself like this was because he had lost the instinct of more than a hundred sentinels. If he smashes the pot again this time, then he will not die at the hands of the Tang army, but will die under the knife of Duoduo's punishment.

Sha Erhuda turned around and walked away quickly, quickly picked up about 6,000 Qing cavalry, also divided into two parts, and rushed towards the Tang cavalry on the opposite side.

Seeing that the Qing cavalry in the formation was rushing towards him with overwhelming momentum, Liu Wenxiu smiled coldly and immediately ordered the whole army to turn their horses and return to the formation in a hurry.

Seeing Liu Wenxiu turn around and run away, Sha Erhuda hesitated slightly, but his heart was soon covered with full ecstasy.

Hmph, the Tang army is so defeated and fled, it must be because I am outnumbered, I don't chase it at this time, let alone when!

"The whole army obeys the order! Go all out to hunt down the deserters of the Tang Army! There is the first merit to kill the main general of the Tang Army! Shar Huda roared loudly and took the lead in galloping.

Nearly 6,000 cavalry of the Qing army, when they heard the order, everyone was excited, and they shouted like beasts, and they slammed their horses' bellies one after another, greatly speeding up the pursuit.

Seeing that all of his soldiers were brave and hard to pursue, the Qing army was cheering like thunder, everyone was very excited, and the main general Duoduo was even more happy, and his eyes were shining.

Only Shuotuo next to him had no joy on his face, but was full of sadness.

"Shuoto, our army is full of momentum, it is the time to pursue the victory, why are you so unhappy?" Duoduo squinted at Shuoto's expression, very unhappy.

"Prince Yu, with all due respect, the cavalry of the Tang Army came to attack this time, and the more you look at it, the more it looks like a plan to lure the enemy. Although the number of cavalry in our army is large, if they continue to pursue all the way, I am afraid that they will be hot-headed, strayed into the ambush circle of the Tang army, and fell into the tricks of the Tang army! Shuoto frowned and let out a long sigh.

Duoduo snorted coldly, with a look of disdain, he looked Shuotuo up and down with a look of contempt, and then shouted: "Shuotuo, how did you do it today, why do you always increase the morale of others and destroy your own prestige, but why?" ”

Without waiting for Shuotuo to answer, Duoduo continued: "Shuotuo, you said that there was an ambush in front of the Tang army, and this king had actually considered it a long time ago. Therefore, he had just told Sha Erhuda to be cautious, pursue cautiously, and if he found that the situation was wrong, he would immediately lead his troops to withdraw. The king has been so cautious, so why should you be worried? “

Seeing that Duoduo had made up his mind and his words were not good, Shuotuo's heart suddenly sank, and he had to make a gesture of approval on the surface: "What Prince Yu said is true. It may be that I think too much, and I am always worried that Sha'er Huda will advance in a frenzy, and at the same time I can't control the ...... of my troops. ”

Shuoto's timely turn and statement made Duoduo's face soften slightly, he brushed his beard, and replied: "Shuotuo, you are optimistic, as long as these Tang cavalry who don't know whether they are alive or dead are eliminated, it will definitely be able to deal an extremely huge blow to the Tang army in Zhenyuan Fort, and it will have a devastating impact on the morale and morale of its army!" Let them have a good taste of the iron fist of our Qing officers and soldiers, what it is like! What's more, as long as the Tang cavalry is eliminated, the Tang army will no longer have mobile strength, and can only retreat in the Zhenyuan Fort to be beaten passively. At that time, our army will send artillery units to bombard the city in turn, and even if this town is beaten with iron, it will be completely destroyed! When the time comes......"

Before he could finish his triumphant words, he heard a sudden rumbling sound of the sky collapsing at the horizon at the end of his eyes, and at the same time, the faintly audible screams of people and the mournful screams of horses sounded continuously.

In the Qing army array, all the people in the formation at this moment, the originally happy expressions suddenly froze. In its place, there was extreme horror and shock.
