230 Battle of Hanju (7)
"You shake the Huang Thirteen families, most of them were born in the grass, coinciding with the country's events, you were in order to protect yourself, so they have started up, after I stayed in Kuizhou, you take care of the righteousness, turn to serve in our army, these years you have guarded the important land of Kuizhou for me, this time I transferred you, but also hope to play your role, you are all sharp swords, since you should be used to the key point, now our army in the Manchu Qing Dynasty to form a stalemate, for us, the war of attrition is not a long-term solution, we eat the taxes of the people of the world, But the Qing army is burning and looting everywhere, feeding on the food of our people, and we can't let them do evil all the time, so I will send you out to do a great thing. ”
"We have been following the general for more than two years, in the past two years, the general has treated us as a brother, and his kindness is profound, at this time the general has a drive, how dare we not serve our orders, although the general said bluntly, what do you want us to do, we will definitely not frown!"
Shake the Huang Thirteen Family, is Zhang Xianzhong into Shu after entrenched in eastern Sichuan, western Hubei, the Three Gorges region to protect the local armed forces, and later Cao Bianjiao into Kuizhou, sent people to recruit them, a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses, all have been in the village for self-protection, by Cao Bianjiao into a self-defense army, only by his control, the strength is stretched, Cao Bianjiao can only transfer them.
"Good! With your words, I am relieved, you lead their own men and horses, divided into three teams, led by Yuan Tao, Liu Weimin, and Wang Gao, from the Golden Bull Road, Micang Road, Lychee Road, and march to Hanzhong, and sneak attack Hanzhong, remember, your troops are weak, don't go to fight with the Qing army head-on, just do sneak attacks, besiege and kill their stragglers, attack their grain routes, and make them restless day and night. ”
"We are all willing to obey the general's dispatch!"
"Good! Immediately after receiving the grain and rice with your men and horses, be sure to be careful. ”
"Yes!" At that moment, Yuan Tao and the others also retreated one after another, and did what Cao Bianjiao ordered.
Outside the city of Hanzhou, a team of Qing army sentries was patrolling, although this place was only a mile away from the city of Hanzhou, but they were not worried about anything, because a few miles away was their large camp that stretched for more than ten miles, and it only took a moment to arrive, and they had fifty people, all cavalry, who could evacuate at any time.
"My lord, what are we doing here, and there is no need to attack, didn't Prince Su already know about this city defense?"
When Niu Lu heard this, he also smiled bitterly at the moment: "How do I know, anyway, the prince asked me to monitor here, so I will monitor it, and ask so much." ”
"I just don't know what to watch, I think it's boring!"
......At this time, the gate of Hanzhou, which had been closed for half a month, was opened, and the Qing army sentry scouts of this patrol team were also watching, not knowing what was happening, they were all holding their breath and preparing to evacuate at any time.
"My lord, it's a woman...... a Qing soldier at the front also shouted in surprise, what they saw was a woman, there were a hundred and ten people, all wearing short shirts, and they were rushing out.
"What's going on, why are they all?" The Qing soldiers were also inexplicable at the moment, the city gate had been closed, and indeed only these women had come out, and there were no soldiers and horses behind.
"It can't be a trap, right?" An elderly Qing soldier was also worried at the moment.
"What are you afraid of, let's hurry up, go up, snatch it back, and honor the prince, which is also a little bit of our heart!"
"Good! "......At that moment, this group of scout cavalry rushed over one after another, wanting to take advantage of the defenselessness of the Ming army to snatch back these women who left the city directly, as for why these women went out of the city, they didn't think much about it.
"Ah......" A group of women scattered and fled like frightened rabbits, but the Qing army horses were fast, their movements were faster, and riding and shooting was what they were best at.
Seeing that the "withdrawal ......" had been successful, a group of people also retreated one after another, not giving the Ming army a chance to counterattack.
Just as they were riding their horses and galloping, these Qing cavalry also fell from their horses without warning, with a very thin dagger stuck in their chests or necks, and those weak women who were frightened just now jumped up from their horses one by one, and then kicked away those Qing soldiers who were either killed or seriously injured, straddled the horses, turned the horse's head, and came to the city of Hanzhou.
The city gate opened, and the group of women returned to the city on horseback or on foot, but in a few moments, this small battle was over, and fifty Qing soldiers remained on the wasteland.
"General, how's that?" The red lady stood beside Cao Bianjiao, looking at Cao Bianjiao, with a smug look on her face.
Cao Bianjiao also bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Yes, sure enough, it is a woman who does not let her eyebrows, there was General Qin Liangyu in front of me to raise the loyalty of the women of the Ming Dynasty, and now there is your red lady, I see that the more than 1,000 women's army under your command is no less than the soldiers and horses brought by any of my Ming generals!" ”
"The Tartars always think that my Ming women can be ravaged by them, let them see now, we women are not easy to bully, and we will kill them, which is also to avenge the sisters who died!"
"Good! If you have the courage, well, you can join the garrison and go to the northwest corner to garrison. ”
The reason why the red lady came here like this is also to prove to Cao Bianjiao that her women's army is not inferior to men, and she also wants to join the battle, and she doesn't want to always be a logistic in the back. Cao Bianjiao immediately agreed to her request and allowed them to participate in the war, and there is no major war at the moment, basically it is the stalemate stage, after Haoge lost tens of thousands of horses, when he didn't think of a siege strategy, he was unwilling to fight with him anymore.
"Quick, forward, forward!" Fu Lehe, the chief general of the Qing army in the Chinese army, also ordered loudly, and those firecrackers braved guns and bullets, relying on human lives to keep approaching, wanting to start a close fight with the Ming army.
"Shoot!" A continuous burst of gunfire rang out, and bullets were fired at the Qing troops under the city, and the soldiers standing in the front row were immediately killed. There was an unlucky guy who was shot twice in the face, and the lead bullet knocked him in the face, and he fell to the ground and died on the spot. A few others were shot in the body, but fortunately there were cuirass protection, although there were also dead and wounded, but not to die, these wounded soldiers were quickly dragged down.
Fu Lehe was ordered to come to collect Tongchuan, which directly threatened the back road of the Qing army, and Haoge naturally would not let it go, so he ruled out the young general Zhenguo Gong Fu Lehe to come to attack, but Fu Lehe's progress was not smooth.
"Hit me, hit ...... hard" Hou Tianxi, the guard of the Ming army, also continued to fight back directly with soldiers, Fu Lehe had 20,000 soldiers and horses, but he also had 10,000, and the city was relied on, he didn't believe that he couldn't stand Tongchuan.
The Qing soldiers moved forward desperately, although they suffered a lot of casualties, but when they saw the same death of the Ming army, they became extremely excited, and they seemed to have found an outlet for the depression that had been in Hanzhou City, and became extraordinarily brave and attacked Tongchuan City.
"Come on, follow the general's charge, be sure to take Tongchuan!" Fu Lehe also stepped forward personally to boost morale.
Just when the Qing army was frantically shouting and charging, suddenly a cold wind blew, brushing and pulling, the raindrops in the air flew down, a burst of clouds covered the sky, it rained, and the rain was extraordinarily heavy from the beginning, and there was a loud sound, and the Qing army's offensive was immediately slowed down.
"Damn, it's raining at this time, withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops!" Fu Lehe knew very well that this kind of weather was not suitable for attacking the city at all, whether it was charging or climbing the city, it would be greatly discounted, he would not be so stupid, so he decisively chose to retreat, and it was not too late to fight again when the weather was clear.
