Text Chapter 800 Forced out of the clever plan
In the north of Mixian County, but five or six miles, is Qingping Mountain, between Qingping Mountain and Mixian County, there is a Ming army of 3,000 people, this Ming army, has not attacked the city, they are stationed outside the north city, is to prevent the Mandate of Heaven Army from escaping from the city, in addition, it is also with the east of the Tiger Dawei Department for each other's horns, jointly contain the independent battalion of the Mandate of Heaven at the eastern foot of Qingping Mountain.
Almost at the same time that Yang Wenyue's department in the south of the city was attacked by the artillery of the Mandate of Heaven, this Ming army was also stolen by the Mandate of Heaven Army in the city, first dozens of artillery bombed the camp into a sea of fire, after the camp gate was destroyed, the gunners of the second regiment of the fourth battalion of the Mandate of Heaven Army broke through the camp from the south, and many gunmen surrounded the Ming army camp, and the Ming soldiers who escaped from the fire were strafed by rifles and suffered heavy casualties.
The Ming army saw that there were gunners of the Mandate of Heaven Army everywhere, so they had to flee north, wanting to enter Qingping Mountain to take refuge, but when they walked to the foot of the mountain, they encountered the ambush of the Mandate of Heaven Army, and they rushed to kill, most of the Ming army suffered casualties, and the remaining soldiers surrendered on their knees.
In this battle in the north of the city, from the infantry of Liu Zongmin's division to the end of the battle, it was less than an hour, and the 3,000 Ming army was almost completely annihilated.
Hu Dawei got the information that the Ming army in the north of the city was secretly attacked, and he was surprised in his heart, because it was dark, he couldn't tell the truth of the message, and he didn't know how many Heavenly Mandate troops participated in the battle, so he didn't plan to go to the rescue at all.
But the herald told him that the official army in the north of the city was originally the Mandate of Heaven army that guarded the horns with Hu Dawei and jointly contained the Qingping Mountain, and now the official army in the north of the city was attacked by the Mandate of Heaven army and was waiting for Hu Dawei to go to reinforcements.
Hu Dawei was angry and beat the herald to the board.
However, the herald's words were right, now that the officers and troops in the north of the city were secretly attacked, if Hu Dawei did not go to reinforcements, the governor Yang Wenyue would definitely be blamed in the future.
Hu Dawei scolded the soldiers who gave the order, and on the other hand, he sent 5,000 soldiers to reinforcements.
After the reinforcements were sent, Hu Dawei felt uneasy, and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Hu Dawei did not dare to sleep, he clothed his whole body, held the mace in his hand, paced in his big tent, and sent his guards to inspect all parts of the camp.
It seemed that it was foolproof, but Hu Dawei was still not at ease, he sent a large number of rangers to the north of the city, and on the other hand, he sent people to tell Yang Wenyue about the attack on the north of the city.
Sure enough, as Hu Dawei expected, the Ming army, which went to the north of the city to reinforce, only traveled less than fifteen miles, and before they reached the north of the city, they were ambushed by the independent battalion of the Heavenly Mandate Army.
Although Li Xin's camp in Qingping Mountain is still there, it is only a bluff, and although there is a little spark in the camp, the real defenders are less than 100 people.
The independent battalion has four regiments, of which the fourth regiment Ma Youyi is still in Luoyang, and did not participate in the expedition to Kaifeng at all; After the second regiment Fang Deng's division passed through half of Qingping Mountain, it joined forces with Liu Zongmin's department to encircle the Ming army in the north of Mixian County; Li Xinqin led the Li Mu Division of the First Regiment and the Liu Jianyi Division of the Third Regiment to wait south of Qingping Mountain for a long time.
The reinforcements sent by Hu Dawei were ambushed by Li Xin's superior forces and suffered heavy casualties.
Hu Dawei got the news that his soldiers were ambushed, and immediately ordered all the soldiers to go to meet his subordinates, he did not expect to defeat the Heavenly Mandate Army, but he must save his subordinates.
The 3,000 Ming troops in the north of the city have no direct relationship with Hu Dawei, but the 5,000 soldiers just sent are Hu Dawei's subordinates, and he can't help but save them.
When Hu Dawei arrived at the ambush site, the Ming army had been completely defeated, and Li Xinbu was chasing after him, Hu Dawei was furious, and he gathered the defeated troops on the one hand, and launched a counterattack on Li Xinbu on the other.
The number of soldiers on both sides was about the same, and there were no ambushes or conspiracies at this time, and nearly 20,000 soldiers killed him in the northeast corner of Mi County.
In Li Zicheng's mind, Li Xin's future famous general, but Hu Dawei is the current tiger general, and from the battlefield, Hu Dawei has not been afraid of anyone.
The Ming army, which had already been defeated, gradually gathered around Hu Dawei and launched a counterattack against the Heavenly Mandate Army.
The Mandate of Heaven army only advances and does not retreat, and the Ming army becomes more and more brave the more they fight!
The sound of killing on the battlefield was moving, and the soldiers on both sides had forgotten their fear at the moment, and they only had one thought, that is, to kill each other!
The soldiers do not think about the victory itself, that is what the generals have to think about, they only care about the present, and they can only survive if they kill the enemy in front of them.
There is no sword light and sword shadow at night, and there is the clanging sound of Qingyue from the impact of weapons, and the shouts of soldiers, either cheering for themselves or seeing them off!
At the beginning, the soldiers could still maintain the formation, the two sides were fighting in groups, and after a long time, the formations of the two armies were scattered, and it was dark and it was dark to see the specific situation on the battlefield, and it was almost a one-on-one confrontation between the soldiers.
Li Xinzhong was surprised, since the commander of Qixian County, whether it is a siege battle or a decisive battle in the field, he has never encountered such a strong fighting force of the Ming army, there is a tiger on the opposite side, and the fierce battle has been until now, and the momentum of the Ming army has not waned!
Hu Dawei was also secretly surprised.
The last time I caught up with the Heavenly Mandate Army on the bank of the Jialu River in Weishi County, the result was a big defeat, and the soldiers who crossed the river suffered heavy casualties, but at that time, the Heavenly Mandate Army, relying on the fire guns with excellent range, the officers and soldiers had no chance to fight back, and they were sent to death in vain.
But the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army in front of them are like taking mad medicine, they are not afraid of death, they only attack, they do not retreat, and after a long time, they are afraid that the officers and soldiers will not be able to resist them......
The soldiers on both sides are red-eyed bullfights, and they can't pull away if they want to retreat now, and the commanders on both sides know that at the moment when the battle is stalemate, they must not withdraw their troops, and if they withdraw now, it will be tantamount to being defeated and fleeing.
Hu Dawei hardened his head and constantly gave the soldiers the order to charge, he must be in one go, and defeat the Heavenly Mandate Army quickly, the time has dragged on, who knows what accidents will happen?
Li Xin also tried his best, he really didn't expect the Tiger Dawei Department to have such combat effectiveness, however, this is good, it should be regarded as training, the Metropolitan Governor said that if a soldier has not gone through a big war and a vicious battle, it is difficult to grow into a real strong army, and if he has really undergone the test of blood and fire, the soldier's body and heart will be branded as a strong army!
Swords and guns are wielded, the sound of killing is shocking, the same hatred of the enemy, all of them are united!
There was a strong smell of blood in the air, but at this moment, the red-eyed soldiers temporarily lost their sense of smell, and the only language of the soldiers was the swords and guns in their hands.
The main generals of the two sides have different minds, but the goal is the same: to defeat the enemy army and win the whole battle!
The battle lasted for more than an hour, Li Xin was secretly anxious, the first regiment was formed for a long time, only half a year, the third regiment was reorganized in Luoyang, and the composition of the soldiers was very mixed, in case it was at a critical moment......
No, you can't take such a risk!
It is true that the battlefield is the best way to train soldiers, and fighting on a par can best stimulate the combat effectiveness of soldiers, but it is the first time for his subordinates to encounter such a fierce battle, the bowstring is too tight, and it is easy to break, and the matter of training soldiers cannot be too impatient.
Li Mu and Liu Jianyi were commanding the battle, and Li Xin was only supervising the army in the back and acting as the supervising team, and he had the clearest understanding of the battle in front.
Both sides are at the end of the crossbow, at this time, it is already a contest of will to fight, battle belief, any small accident, may affect the development of the situation, even if it is stung by a bee, it may make the side fall into a catastrophe from which it will never recover......
Li Xin's heart suddenly moved!
He summoned a few pro-soldiers and whispered a few words, and the pro-soldiers' eyes widened, "General, is this okay?" ”
"No, you have to try it to know!" Li Xin waved his hand and told the pro-soldiers to go quickly, and the pro-soldiers gritted their teeth and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
The battle continues
Suddenly, I heard several weapons falling to the ground and making the sound of Qingyue crashing, followed by a soldier shouting: "Stop fighting, we surrender!" ”
Surrender? Who surrendered at such a critical moment?
Although I don't know who surrendered, but the swords and guns in the hands of the soldiers on both sides are slowed down, no matter which side surrenders, the battle will be over, such a tragic battle, I don't know how many people died?
"The Ming army has surrendered!"
"The Ming army can't hold on!"
"Brothers, kill ......"
Although the voice was not loud, it instantly stimulated the morale of the Mandate of Heaven Army, since the Ming army is about to surrender, the battle is about to end, take advantage of this opportunity to quickly kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!
And the Ming army on the opposite side has just been deflated, and heard that the soldiers of this side are going to surrender, obviously this side is going to be defeated, if you don't flee at this time, when will you wait?
When Hu Dawei heard that the army had surrendered, he was furious in his heart, and unconsciously scolded: "Which turtle grandson wants to surrender?" Lao Tzu slaughtered him! Kill, defeat the Mandate of Heaven Army, Lao Tzu will reward you with silver ......"
But at this time, the Ming army had lost its fighting spirit, and if it continued to fight, it was only delayed for a moment, knowing that it was going to be defeated, who would stay on the battlefield and wait for death? Since someone is stupid enough to continue fighting, it is just time to cover themselves......
The voice of the Mandate of Heaven Army is getting louder and louder, there are more and more fleeing Ming troops, and the morale of both sides is like a mountain valley.
Li Xin released all his own soldiers and the soldiers of the battle team, and asked the soldiers to shout: "Our reinforcements have arrived......
This was the last straw that overwhelmed the Ming army, just now there were some soldiers who continued to fight, and when they heard that the reinforcements of the Mandate of Heaven had arrived, the soldiers had no desire to fight, and they all fled backwards.
The defeat of the army was like a mountain, Hu Dawei sighed, knowing that the officers and soldiers were defeated, and the defeat was very complete, he asked his personal guards to give the order to withdraw the army, and at the same time turned the horse's head and took the lead in fleeing eastward......
The Mandate of Heaven Army then covered up and killed, and after fighting for such a long time, the soldiers were waiting for such a moment, the Ming army had already broken and fled, and now it was completely a matter of picking up military merits.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps from the southeast, Li Xin checked it, it turned out to be the third regiment of the fourth battalion Niu Kejing, Niu Kejing did not belong to the independent battalion, but Li Xin couldn't care about it, and hurriedly ordered: "Chase quickly, the Ming army has run away!" ”
Niu Kejing knew that he was late, so without saying a word, he hurriedly led the army to chase east, and it was another cover-up......
Li Xin stood in place, never moving, and muttered in his mouth: "If it weren't for the night, such a trick would be difficult to deceive the eyes of the Ming army, the outcome of this battle, the outcome of the battle is difficult to predict, Hu Dawei is a character......"
