299 Battle of the Central Plains (31)
Tonight the night is dark, it is a good time to rob the camp, Luck Dehun with 4,500 men and horses quietly out of Yanzhou City, leaving only Tan Tai with 2,000 men and horses to defend the city, he is to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat the enemy army outside the city in one fell swoop, and then go to meet with He Luohui's soldiers and horses, now there is no delay, so Le Ke Dehun must personally go out, they have been besieged for too long, but the reinforcements can not rush in, and if this continues, they are all dead in Yanzhou City.
Four thousand five hundred people, people with branches, horses wrapped in hooves, quietly out of the east gate of Yanzhou, here the Ming army is the weakest, and there are few obstacles, suitable for their impact, from here can directly rush down, the night is also an excellent cover, looking at the sparse defenders in the camp, Luck Dehun also believed in the results of the meticulous investigation of the death, the Ming army of 100,000 troops, but only sent a few hundred people to patrol the east gate, and there are only a few thousand people in this village.
"Do it!" Luckedhun gave an order, drove five hundred men and horses quietly closer, removed the antlers, overturned the fence, and shot the guards at the gate of the village with bows and crossbows, and the muskets were too loud to expose them in advance, so they used bows and arrows, which was also what the Qing army was best at.
"Kill!" Just as the obstacle at the gate was almost cleared, Luckedhun led the men and horses out and took the camp directly.
"The enemy is attacking at night, run!" At this moment, the soldiers and horses in the city panicked and fled in all directions, which surprised Luck Dehun a little, and did not encounter any decent resistance at all, and completely entered the camp without much effort.
"What's going on?" Luck Dehun was also puzzled at this time, there are also a lot of soldiers and horses in the camp, how can they all disperse so quickly, there should be some resistance, but the current situation is obviously that there is no resistance, only when he rushed into the village, he only saw people, and after rushing in, he didn't see a person.
"Inspect the tents?" Luckedhun immediately ordered.
The soldiers searched the tents around them, but unfortunately they did not see a single person, and they were all empty.
"Kill ......" At this time, the sound of killing was shattered from all sides, and countless soldiers and horses emerged from all around, surrounding them in the center, Leke Dehun is stupid, and he knows that it is a plan, looking at the momentum of the other party, there are no less than 20,000 soldiers and horses!
"Luckedhun, you have fallen for the trick of my governor! You have been sending people to sneak down to the city to investigate for several days, do you really think that we haven't found out, this is a trap set for you on purpose, stupid, haha......" Li Yuanyin shouted with laughter, his words full of disdain.
"Withdraw!" Luckedhun hurriedly ordered a retreat at the moment, since the Ming army had been prepared, it was not so easy to break through, but where was it so easy to retreat, the gate of the village had been blocked by Gao Jinku, who had come to besiege him, and Shi Dewei on the left and Sun Lin on the right had already been killed, and Li Yuanyin on the front was also in full array, and there were many more soldiers and horses than Luckdehun.
"Kill......" Ming army muskets, artillery crossbows are a rush up, mercilessly shot at Luck Dehun, began to clear the troops and horses of Luck Dehun, suddenly it was a bloody battle, the morale of the Ming army is flourishing, and the number of people has an absolute advantage, Luck Dehun is defeated and retreated, the fallen people one after another, the encirclement is shrinking, Luck Dehun is also two fists invincible four hands, was surrounded in the heart, the Ming army's musket attacked him tragically, so that he was also shot in the body, faint pain.
At this time, Yuan Shu's brigade appeared under the city of Yanzhou, began to attack the city, in the face of the dragon spirit and tiger, a little impatient Ming army that had long been recuperated, Tan Tai was also helpless, he only had two thousand people on hand, and Yuan Shu had twenty or thirty thousand horses under the city, the Ming army had been rushing up to the city along the ladder car, and the Qing army defending the city started a fight.
"Why is this happening, why is Yuan Shu here? How's it going? At this time, Tan Tai was also stunned, a series of questions came to him, and he didn't know what was going on, he personally sent Luck Dehun out of the pass, trying to break through, and vaguely heard the sound of fighting not far away, there was also a lot of movement, why Yuan Shu didn't come to the rescue but came to attack the city, his brain was also short-circuited for a while, and the long-term tiredness and nervousness made him lose his quick reaction in the past.
Don't wait for him to think about it, at this time Liu Fangliang has led the army to rush to the city pass, and is killing the Qing soldiers on the city pass, Tan Tai also raised a knife to meet him, but unfortunately he is not Liu Fangliang's opponent, Liu Fangliang is a fierce general in the Dashun army, the southern and northern wars for more than ten years, less than ten rounds, Tan Tai was killed by Liu Fangliang with a knife, but a stick of incense time, Liu Fangliang has opened the city gate, Yuan Shu saw this, smiled slightly, made a big move, and entered the city with people and horses.
At this time, Luck Dehun was already wearing a book, besieged by Stilwell, Li Yuanyin and others, he was desperately resisting, but it was still difficult to turn the situation around, at this time many people had abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and only hundreds of people were still fighting, but Luck Deck Hun would not surrender, at this time he was already struggling to breathe, but the offensive in his hands did not stop, and continued to fight hard.
"Ah......" Finally, Luck Dehun was slashed in the arm by Li Yuanyin, and Steve took advantage of the situation to slash down and slash Luck Dehun to the ground.
"Those who surrender will not die, and those who resist will not be forgiven!" At this time, Stilwell shouted, and the remaining soldiers saw that Luckedhun was dead, and they also lost their fighting spirit at the moment, and they abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
By the time Stilway, Li Yuanyin and others joined Yuan Shu, it was only an hour later, and the battle was over, which can be said to be very fast, and more than 1,000 of Lekdehun's 5,000 men and horses were killed, and the rest did not escape, and all were captured.
"Your Excellency the Governor, now that Luck Dehun has been killed in battle, I will wait to take Yanzhou City, what should I do next?" Stilwell looked at Yuan Shu and asked, they are all admiring Yuan Shu now, when Yuan Shu convened them to discuss the military situation tonight, they were still a little at a loss, and then Yuan Shu began to arrange soldiers and horses, saying that Yanzhou City would be taken tonight, and now it has been done, and it is taken at a very low price, everyone is now following Yuan Shu, and they are even more confident.
"General Stilwei, you take 10,000 soldiers and horses to Daicunba immediately to garrison, General Liu Fangliang, you lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to Dongpingzhou immediately to garrison, cut off the retreat route of He Luo's club to the north, if He Luo will withdraw the army, I will lead the army to follow behind, you hold the city, don't let them escape, I will send someone to report to the general, the whole army will converge here, and annihilate the last elite of the Qing army in Shandong."
"Yes!" The generals took orders and went to prepare.
The movement of Yanzhou City did not alarm He Luohui, the Ming army often carried out night attacks on Yanzhou City at night, that is, harassing it, and the same is true for them, they have long been accustomed to it, the key is that He Luohui does not know what to do now, retreat the army, without Dolgon's order, he does not dare, he has sent five groups of people in a row, all of them are no news, presumably in the middle of the way by the Ming army, that is, to withdraw the army, where to withdraw, where to withdraw, he is also at a loss, now the whole of Shandong is the Ming army, There are no less than 200,000 people around him, although most of them are rebels from all over the country, but even so, there are more ants that can bite elephants to death, and even Li Shutai's soldiers and horses are harassed by them day and night, and they have to retreat to Dong'a, their food and grass are running out, and every day there are people fleeing from the camp to join the Ming army, all of them are some Han green battalion soldiers, and He Luo will be difficult to contain.
