Chapter 893: Wu Sangui stepped on the Eight Banners Army Formation
"Lord Wang!" As soon as Wu Sangui's words came out, Guo Yunlong and other generals screamed.
Fearing that the leak caused Dolgon to find out, when Fan Tianyu persuaded him to surrender and Li Yousong and the Ming army secretly discussed surrender, it was only known to Wu Sangui, Li Yousong and Liu Tailin, two henchmen, and did not spread out.
After all, he was in the Manchu camp, with several times the number of Eight Banner soldiers around him, and he surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty for so long, Wu Sangui didn't know how many Manchu spies there were in the army. There are not only Manchu people in the army to supervise the army, but also logistics and supplies are also controlled by Manchu people, Wu Sangui does not dare to be cautious.
Therefore, it was only now that the intention of surrendering the Ming army was revealed, which made the generals shocked.
"Lord Wang, we surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, what should our family do?" Guo Yunlong asked hurriedly, the family members of the big guys are all in Ningyuan, in the hinterland of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they can survive if they surrender to the Ming Dynasty, but what about their families?
"Yes, Lord Wang." The other generals also said in a chaotic manner.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is news that you don't know yet, Ning Yuan has been captured by the Ming army. Tens of thousands of Ming troops arrived in Ningyuan by sea from Dengzhou, and now our family members are in the hands of the Ming army, so we have to surrender. Li Yousong stood up and explained loudly.
"Mr. Li, are you telling the truth?" A general asked.
Li Yousong nodded: "The families of the prince and the generals have been transported to Dengzhou by the Ming army, and the little lady of the prince is now in Linqing, I have seen it with my own eyes, there will be no mistake!"
Liaoxi and Liaonan were lost, and the Ming army would soon attack the Manchu hometown, but they still wanted us to give them their lives, in a vain attempt to defeat the more than 100,000 troops of the King of Qi. Brothers, for the sake of our families and our own lives, we will kill all the people and make meritorious contributions! ”
Guo Yunlong and other generals glanced at each other, and now there is only one way. No one thought that Li Yousong would lie, because Li Yousong's family was also in Ningyuan.
Wu Sangui's subordinates have followed him for a long time, many generals are from his family, and their loyalty goes without saying, and now they don't even have the worries of their families, so naturally they don't have anything to say, just listen to the orders of the generals.
So Wu Sangui gave an order, and the 8,000 army was divided into two teams, he personally led 2,000 cavalry to attack the flank of the Eight Banners who were fighting, and the 6,000 army was led by Guo Yunlong and other generals to protect his back and attack Dorgon's Chinese army.
The total strength of the Eight Banners Army is only more than 40,000, 15,000 people are fighting against the Ming army, and there are still 25,000 people who have not moved.
Of course, it is impossible to hold off the main force of Dolgon with 6,000 infantry, but don't forget, there are still 20,000 Ming troops not far away. The Ming army and the Guanning army combined had as many as 26,000 infantry, which was already the same as the number of the unmoved Eight Banners.
Wu Sangui knew that as long as he led his cavalry to defeat the Eight Banners Army of Shi Tingzhu Aobai Division, which was falling into a fierce battle, the Qing army would definitely fail, after all, Chen Yue, the king of Qi, still had 50,000 troops untouched. As long as you can break through the Eight Banners Array in this battle, the Eight Banners soldiers who are fighting will be defeated, and you will be able to make a great contribution! Is it difficult? It's not hard at all!
"Dududu..." The sound of the conch sounded when the troops were dispatched, Wu Sangui took the lead and led two thousand cavalry to attack, and the direction of the attack was not the Ming army array not far away, but galloped forward for a while, turned the direction to the left, and killed the belly of the Eight Banners Army that was fighting fiercely.
There was only a mile between Wu Sangui's right flank and the main formation of the Qing army, and the cavalry could be killed in a moment.
In the rear of the Qing army, since the envoy was sent, Dolgon has been paying attention to the movement of Wu Sangui's Han military banner, but because of the distance and being in the army, he can't see what is happening in Wu Sangui's army, but he can see that there is some commotion.
Having led his troops into battle for many years, Dorgon had an unusually keen sense of smell and realized that something was wrong. Immediately ordered Beizi Wakda to lead 10,000 troops to march to the right flank where the Han army flag was located, if Wu Sangui did not move, the 10,000 people urged Wu Sangui Han army banner to attack, if Wu Sangui had any changes, these 10,000 people attacked the flank of Wu Sangui's army guarding Shi Tingzhu Aobai.
However, not long after Wakda led the army out of battle, he saw Wu Sangui's army move, and instead of attacking the Ming army, he turned his gun and attacked the flank of the Eight Banners Army that was fighting!
"Bastard!" Dolgon scolded angrily, "Give Wakda an order to lead his army to speed up, and he must block Wu Sangui's dog thief!" ”
As the order came out, the 10,000 Eight Banners led by Wakda immediately sped up. But can you stop it? From Dolgon to Fan Wencheng and other Manchurian generals, it was unlikely. Because Wu Sangui had cavalry, Wakda's headquarters were all infantry.
Dolgon had 1,000 cavalry battalion cavalry, but when attacking the Ming army's artillery array, more than half of the 1,000 cavalry were lost, while Wu Sangui had 2,000 iron cavalry with 2,000 recuperated cavalry, even if he sent the only few hundred cavalry left, it would be useless at all.
Why should I give up Linqing! Dolgon thought bitterly that if there was Linqing City, there would be no problem in blocking the Ming army for a few days, and in a few days, how could the 30,000 cavalry of Bolo and Luckedhun be blocked by a mere canal, and with these 30,000 cavalry, there would be no problem at all in defeating the Ming army.
Sure enough, Wakda failed to stop Wu Sangui's cavalry, and the two thousand cavalry went straight into the flank of the Eight Banners Army that was fighting. ”
I saw two thousand Guanning iron cavalry rushing into the unprepared Eight Banners infantry formation, like boiling soup and melting snow, no one could do it, and the Eight Banners infantry was in chaos wherever they passed, and countless Eight Banners soldiers were trampled under the hooves of galloping war horses, and the entire army formation was chaotic at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And Wu Sangui's cavalry didn't try to chop the Eight Banners at all, but just galloped wildly, galloping through the entire Eight Banners array, leaving endless chaos behind them.
Looking at this situation, Dolgon's anger was beyond measure, everyone knew that the troops who were fighting fiercely were attacked by cavalry from the flanks, chaos was inevitable, there was no need for Wu Sangui to do anything at this time, the Ming army on the opposite side would kill all the Eight Banners in the chaos!
"Lord Wang, what should we do?" Looking at the battlefield in the distance, Fan Wencheng, who was from different militaries, also knew that something was wrong, and asked Dolgon nervously.
The defeat of Shi Tingzhu and Aobai was inevitable, and Wakda led 10,000 men to attack Wu Sangui's infantry, and only 15,000 troops remained with Dolgon. Will they go to the rescue of Shi Tingzhu and Aobai, or will they take advantage of Wakda to stop the Ming army and escape from the battlefield with these last 15,000 people? Dorgon hesitated.
