Volume 8 Chapter 148 Ambush
More than 40 miles northwest of Shenyang City, more than 10 miles outside the exit of the official road of Qipan Mountain, Li Dingguo stood in the middle of the official road with the straw pulled from the mouth of the mouth, and looked at the official road in front of him lightly, as if he came here to hang out.
They were responsible for ambushing Aobai, known as the first Baturu of the Eight Banners, and the 30,000 heavily armored foot soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner and the Zhenglan Banner led by him.
This Ao Bai is worthy of being a battle-hardened veteran, and the scouts were sent wave after wave, but unfortunately, all of them were strangled by the scouts they sent.
Li Dingguo waited so calmly, not in a hurry at all, he knew that even if Aobai could not detect the situation ahead, he would move forward, because Taishi Zhang was leading a large army to attack Shenyang City, if Aobai did not rush back, the 30,000 defenders of Shenyang City would definitely not be able to withstand it, if Shenyang City was breached, Jiannu would be finished, at this time, Aobai dared to hesitate.
Ao Bai is indeed quite helpless at this time, as long as the scout cavalry he sent out of the chessboard mountain will be no news, he has no way of knowing what the situation is on the plain outside the chessboard mountain, but he still has to lead the army to Shenyang, no way, their wives and children, their clansmen, and their little khan, and even all the noble families of the Eight Banners are in Shenyang City, if Shenyang City is broken by the Ming army, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
However, he was not very worried, the Ming army at least did not set up an ambush on Qipan Mountain, if that was the case, he really did not dare to rush forward, because the official road of Qipan Mountain was too narrow, once they were ambushed by the Ming army, they would have nowhere to run, and the whole army would be annihilated.
It would be different if the Ming army set up an ambush outside Qipan Mountain, because outside Qipan Mountain is a large plain, and you can run in any direction, as long as it is not more than 100,000 Ming troops surrounding them, he has the confidence to lead his men to rush out.
Is it possible for Zhang Bin to send more than 100,000 Ming troops to ambush him, it is obviously unlikely, the total number of Ming troops attacking Shenyang this time is only about 200,000, and if more than 100,000 are sent over, it is strange that Shenyang City can still be captured in a day or two.
He seemed to have a certain amount of truth in his consideration, but he didn't take into account the chariot formation of the Fuguang army.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many chariots, Li Dingguo would definitely lead the army into Qipan Mountain to ambush him, the problem was that so many chariots under his command could not be used at all on the narrow official road of Qipan Mountain, so he simply set up an ambush on the great plain outside Qipan Mountain, anyway, the chariot formation composed of chariots was like a city wall, and it was more difficult for the enemy to break through than to climb the hillside to escape.
The scouts on both sides are still fighting on the plain at the exit, Jiannu's scouts have never been able to rush out of the valley mouth three miles, it is naturally impossible to see the Ming army chariot formation more than ten miles away, this situation lasted for about half an hour, Ao Bai finally led 30,000 foot soldiers to rush out of the official road of Qipan Mountain, he looked around on the horse for a while, and couldn't help but sigh a long sigh, fortunately, there was no Ming army outside, only the scouts of the sparse Lala faintly surrounded around the exit, the number of these scouts was only a few hundred at most, and there was no threat to them at all.
This is only more than fifty miles away from Shenyang City, if you run over in one breath, it will only take more than an hour, it seems that there should be no danger, he put his mind at ease, ordered his soldiers to rest for a while, and then did not hesitate to take them to continue to run in the direction of Shenyang City.
It didn't take long for a scout to gallop to the front of the chariot formation on the official road more than ten miles away, and the scout on the horse arched his horse and said, "General Qiyu, Jiannu is starting to run this way." ”
When Li Dingguo heard this, he spit out the straw in his mouth, raised his hand and shouted: "Order, the car array is scattered and surrounded!" ”
With his order, the chariots on both sides quickly stretched out to the left and right fronts one by one, extending for four or five miles, and then turned around and surrounded the official road, as if a large open bag was slowly tightening the mouth of the bag.
At this time, Ao Bai didn't know that he had rushed into Li Dingguo's big open pocket, he was worried about the situation in Shenyang City, it was almost noon at this time, except for the early morning in Shenyang City, there were scouts to report, the Ming army had already launched an attack, and then, the direction of Shenyang lost the news, he didn't know if Shenyang City was broken by the Ming army at this time, 30,000 heavy armor foot soldiers, how long can it last in the face of the crazy attack of more than 200,000 Ming troops, this is really impossible to estimate.
He was frowning and thinking about it, when a black dot suddenly appeared in the middle of the official road in front of him, and from a distance, it seemed that he was standing there with a man riding a horse.
What's going on?
This man is definitely not his scout, because he doesn't dare to send scouts to the front at this time, and if he sends them out, he will die, so why let his subordinates die.
If it's not the scout cavalry under him, it must be the Ming army, who is so bold that he dares to stand alone in the middle of the official road, what do you want to play?
What are you kidding, in the face of 30,000 heavily armored foot soldiers, he, the first mite Qing Baturu, doesn't dare to stop him, it's purely seeking death!
He was puzzled, and a black line faintly appeared behind the man, and the black line extended directly from the middle of the official road to both sides, and he couldn't see the end at a glance.
What is it?
Ao Bai raised his right hand and built a pergola, squinted his eyes, and squinted, the chariots of the Ming army, the countless chariots of the Ming army, blocked the official road in front and both sides of the official road.
He quickly glanced left and right, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he couldn't see his head on either side, how many chariots and how many Ming troops were needed!
He hesitated slightly, then reined in his horse, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Order, the whole army stops advancing, the platoon is out of formation, all the generals on horseback, all come to the front, follow me to charge, quickly." ”
At this time, of course, he knew that he had been ambushed by the Ming army, but it didn't matter, because the Ming army was too scattered, and there was no end in sight on both sides, at least four or five miles away, even if more than 100,000 Ming troops came, more than ten miles were scattered left and right, and there were only more than 10,000 people in each mile, and only twenty or thirty people in each step, that is to say, the thickness of the Ming army's large array was at most forty or fifty steps.
He wouldn't be stupid enough to stay here and wait for the Ming army to surround him, or lead the army to run back, without thinking that the back road would definitely be cut off by the Ming army, and rushing forward was the best choice.
As soon as he raised his hand, Li Dingguo on the other side also slowly raised his hand and ordered: "The tiger squats and loads the cannon, ready to bombard." ”
The thickness of the battle formation behind Li Dingguo is indeed less than fifty steps, but the row behind him is not only the chariot, except for the front row of chariots, the back rows are full of tiger squatting cannons, and thousands of tiger squatting cannons!
Ao Bai couldn't think about it so much at this time, he could only lead the army to rush over and rush to the city of Shenyang, otherwise, if he was surrounded by the "more than 100,000" Ming army, he and his 30,000 soldiers might really be wiped out!
