Chapter 814 Estuary Blockade

North of Xiangyang, south of Shinno, at the entrance of the White River Valley.

Here in the east is the Tongbai Mountains, in the west is the Cave Mountain, the Kuma Mountain, the Qing army wants to return north, must go through the White River Valley.

By the end of December, the beginning of spring was approaching, and the heavy snowfall that had lasted for more than half a month had stopped, the climate was gradually warming, and the snow on the ground was about to melt under the winter sun.

At this time, a Ming army of nearly 15,000 people was forming at the entrance of the river valley.

After the Wuzhong army broke the Qing army's camp at the mouth of the Baihe, they continued to go north to touch Xinye County, in order to prevent being attacked from both sides, so they notified Xiangfan that Hao Shaoqi would send troops to Wanwu to block the attack at the entrance of the river valley, which was bound to annihilate the Qing troops who entered Kouhuguang in northern Hubei.

Although the sun is high, there is a saying that "snow is always colder than snow", Xiangfan's defenders went out of the city, lined up here, and it happened to be the mouth of the valley, the wind blew the cheeks painfully, the ears were as if they were not their own, and the soldiers were frozen unbearably one by one.

The Qing army plundered Huguang for a month, killing people and committing countless crimes, while the Ming army could only hide in the city, and they had already held back their anger.

Although the cold wind was cold, it couldn't suppress the raging flames in Hao Shaoqi's heart, and in northern Hubei Province, the more than 25,000 Qing horses that had fallen into Kou Huguang would portend, and he knew very well in his heart.

The stakes in this battle are very important, Hao Shaoqi did not dare to slack off, so that the soldiers all cheered up, dared to be negligent, dared to slack, and were all executed.

The valley mouth is windy, and the soldiers have to grit their teeth and insist, but fortunately, Huguang is the base camp of the Chu Party, and all kinds of materials are given priority supply, and Xiangyang is the top priority.

Fifteen thousand troops, placed at the entrance of the river valley, the soldier gate is in front of the formation to place a horse rejection stake, set up obstacles, a Ming army of thousands of households, wearing cotton armor inside, covered with iron armor, the head is wrapped in fur, the whole body is tightly wrapped, only the eyes and nose are exposed.

At this time, he exhaled white breath from his nose, pressed his war knife, and walked in front of the soldier in the bloated battle jacket.

The opponent is the Eight Banners, and they must do every detail before the battle to have the certainty of victory, and Qianhu checks the equipment and mental state of his soldiers in turn.

Qianhu walked in front of many soldiers, they were the first row of the entire large array, and they were all special spears in their hands, each of which was two zhang long, which was the key to whether the entire infantry formation could withstand the cavalry impact.

Qianhu walked over, and the hands of the soldiers wrapped in cotton cloth all held the spears tightly and stood up straight, which made Qianhu very satisfied, but suddenly Qianhe's steps stopped in front of a soldier.

"Stand still!" Qianhu turned his body around, faced the soldier, stared at him, and shouted, "Straight mother thief, what the hell are you shaking? ”

Qianhu shouted loudly, but the soldier trembled more fiercely, not only he trembled, but the soldier next to him also trembled a little, as if forming a chain reaction.

Seeing this, Qianhu was immediately furious and was about to beat and reprimand, but a soldier next to him said in a trembling voice: "Qianhu, the Qing soldiers are here!" ”

It's not that the Shence Chinese army hasn't fought with the Qing army, but at that time it was mainly to defend the city, not a field battle, and a lot of new soldiers have been added this year, so it is reasonable to see that the Qing cavalry is a little trembling.

When Qianhu heard this, he turned around and turned around, and looked at the south in a hurry, and his heart was shocked, only to see that on the open and expanded area to the south, people and horses were crowded, flags were flying, and countless cavalry were all over the mountains, layer upon layer, rolling in.

There was a commotion in front of the Ming army, and thousands of households watched it, moved their throats, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then tried to calm down and said to their subordinates: "Brothers, don't be afraid, look at the spear in your hand, if the Qing army dares to charge into battle, you squat on the ground, stick the gun on the ground, aim the spear at the Qing cavalry, and ensure that you can even bring people and horses, and string him together." ”

Qianhu said a word of encouragement, and did not look at the effect, and immediately turned around and went to see Hao Shaoqi.

Not long after, Hao Shaoqi straddled the war horse, and under the escort of several generals, galloped out of the battle, picked up the clairvoyant mirror, and watched the Qing cavalry.

He 13,000 men guarded the entrance to the valley, and each side of the hill also sent a thousand archers, gunners, although the cavalry taboo frontal hard charge, but Hao Shaoqi chose a good terrain, both sides are mountains, the cavalry can not attack his two waists in a roundabout way, even the cavalry is very difficult to attack and disturb, Azig wants to go over, except to break through him head-on, there is really no other way.

At this time, Hao Shaoqi's clairvoyant mirror quickly locked on a member of the white armor general under the Qing army Wang Qi Daxu, he saw the white armor general from the circular vision, only to see the white armor general strangled the war horse, the galloping Qing army slowly slowed down together, the war horse from galloping to strolling, and finally saw the white armor general, waved his hand back, and the Qing cavalry immediately stopped abruptly.

Hao Shaoqi moved the clairvoyant mirror, and the circular vision was swept in front of the Qing army's array, all of them were armor soldiers, and the secret was numb, I am afraid there were more than 20,000 people.

The cavalry of the Qing army stood quietly two miles away from the Ming army's main array, without making a sound, and did not howl first as before.

Also, the back road was cut off, and most of the looted things were lost, who the fuck is still in the mood to howl with you? However, this did not howl, the big array was silent, but it gave the Ming army great pressure, and a huge killing atmosphere spread in the Qing army and overwhelmingly pressed the Ming army.

In the Qing army's array, Azig also looked at the Ming array again, he looked at it for a while, put down the clairvoyant mirror, and said to the Qing general beside him: "The banner of Xiangyang Hao Shaoqi is the soldiers and horses of the Shence Chinese army, not the loyal and brave clan. This shows that Xinye has not fallen into the hands of the Ming army at least for now, otherwise he will come tens of thousands more and block this place, and the king will be unable to fly. ”

"Amma, how do you fight next, let me bring someone to harass the chaos?" Flelch urged him to take a step forward, but he never got Azig's approval, which made him very eager to perform in front of Azig.

"There's no time!" Azig also didn't consider the second son's mind this time, he was not a delicate person in the first place, so he directly shook his head and vetoed, and Fu Lehe had to bow his head.

Azig continued: "The situation in Xinye is unknown, we must break the Hao Shaoqi as soon as possible, if the king of Pingnan is defeated, we will enter the Baihe, and the Ming army will be blocked at both ends, and we will become the turtle in the urn." This terrain can't attack his waist, so that the Han army is preparing to rush hard with a red flag, and in one round, he will break through the Ming formation for this king, and then rush through. ”

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was originally a small clan outside the Guan, with few people and few soldiers, which is a shortcoming, but it is precisely because there are few people, so they are more afraid of the dead, in order to be able to die less, the banner Ding pays special attention to equipment, and at this time the Ming army has more than 100,000 people at every turn, which cannot be compared.

The Han army is a person of Kong Youde, and he is considered an elite among several Han banners, and the Qing general Xu Degong heard the order and immediately asked his subordinates to prepare.

At this time, Hao Shaoqi pulled out his horse and returned to the Ming army's big array, and after a while, the shouts of the officers sounded in the array, "In front of the spear, sit on the ground, the bird gun, the archer is second, the enemy advances five hundred steps, the Buddha Lang machine is put first, nearly one hundred and fifty steps, the bird gun shoots in turn, and the hundred-step archer throws heavy arrows." ”

When the Ming soldiers in the formation heard the order, they immediately followed the instructions, and the spearmen in the front row squatted on the ground as soon as they were in place, and put the tail of the guns on the ground, the tips of the guns were facing forward, and they were densely lined up.

Hao Shaoqi was at the forefront this time, arranging fifteen rows of robbers, spears stabbing obliquely, guns like forests, and the cold and shining spear heads, which made people shudder.

The front row of gunners is ready, and the bird-gunners and archers in the back are also ready.

Most of the men who used bows and arrows in the Ming army were veterans, because bows and arrows required more experience than birds.

At this time, a small flag took off the bow from his back, brushed it along the bowstring with his hand, and pulled it a few times, checked the bowstring, don't freeze it, he made his bow and arrows while comforting the people next to him, "Don't be afraid, last year to guard Xiangyang, I shot four Qing soldiers to death alone, and when I get close to you later, just follow what I taught during training, just send a gun, you go over, and your bow and arrow armor-breaking ability is a little stronger than my bow and arrow!" ”

"Zhao Xiaoqi, where am I afraid?" The soldier next to him blushed and said unhappily.

"Then what are you shaking?" Xiaoqi gave him a blank look.
