Chapter 823: Mo Goes to King Yi
The Qing cavalry that had just stopped, many people had already dismounted, and Azig had to quickly turn over and get on the horse under this order.
It's okay to keep going, as soon as the true qi in the abdomen is released, the people who could still grit their teeth and hold on to it are now grinning, only those who have been riding horses all year round and whose thighs have been grinding out of calluses can barely cheer up.
Azig had already accepted the advice of his second son and planned to rest, but the sudden appearance of the Ming army sentry made him change his decision.
If the Ming army knows that he has arrived thirty miles south of Xinye, the Ming army will definitely be prepared, then he will rest for half an hour, the Ming army will be able to prepare for half an hour, and if he rests for one day, the Ming army will be able to prepare for one more day, no matter how it is calculated, it will be unfavorable to him.
From the forest, the Ming cavalry drilled out, there were fifty horses, just a general banner of people and horses, they out of the woods to look north and rush, behind Azig led the Qing cavalry to chase quickly, but did not expect this Ming army sentry horse, not only horsemanship, but also sit down the war horse is fat and healthy, the Qing cavalry people are sleepy and lacking, not only did not catch up, but gradually opened the distance.
The sentry cavalry rushed out for more than 20 miles in one breath, and arrived at a cypress forest where the main force of the Ming army rested, and more than 25,000 infantry troops were ambushed in the woods on both sides of the valley for half a day.
Liu Fangliang 10,000 people went to take Xinye, and Dai Zhifan's brigade went behind, he was worried that Hao Shaoqi at the mouth of the river would not be able to withstand the impact of Azig, so he was very vigilant in the rear and sent a lot of sentry cavalry to avoid being raided by Qing cavalry.
Sometimes, we have to admit that there is such a thing as the national fortune, when the national fortune is prosperous, everything goes well, and when the national fortune is sluggish, a small mistake can also cause a big disaster.
During the Hongguang period, the Ming Dynasty was a typical case of things not going well, Zuo Liangyu rebelled eastward, and the four towns all fell, which can be described as a bad thing connected to one by one, and now the feng shui is in turn, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is unlucky.
If Azig could withdraw one day earlier and break Hao Shaoqi one day earlier, the Ming army would not be able to steal Xinye, maybe not only could not intercept him, but would have to suffer a big defeat, but at this time, the Ming army had already taken Xinye, and Shang Kexi fled north to Nanyang, and the Ming army could turn around and concentrate on dealing with Azig.
The sentry rode into the woods, and before the horse stopped, he flew down, and after landing on the ground, he hurriedly ran to Dai Zhifan, and saluted on one knee: "Qiyu Duzhen, about 20,000 cavalry Qing troops, chasing the lowly position, are only about five miles away!" ”
When the generals of the Ming army sitting in the forest heard the sound, they stood up one after another and surrounded them.
When Dai Zhifan heard that he was only five miles away, he raised his hand again and again, signaling the general to let the soldiers prepare for battle, and at the same time asked, "How is the condition of the Qing cavalry?" How to march and how long is the line? ”
Dai Zhifan was originally going to enter Xinye, but the sentry he left behind first discovered the news that the Azig army had come from Xinye, so he sent someone to inform Liu Fangliang while shooting and waiting for Azig on the spot.
What he needed now was detailed information on the Azig army, as well as the state of the army, which was crucial to whether the ambush would go smoothly.
"Back to the town, according to the observation of the lowly position, the Qingqi obviously did not rest, so he galloped all the way over, it was already sleepy and lacking horses, the team was scattered, the lowly saw that they were ready to rest, deliberately exposed, the Qingqi pursued all the way, but was left behind by the lowly position. As for the ranks of the Qing army, they were too long to judge. The Sentinel replied with his fists clenched.
"Are they all cavalry?" Qing cavalry actually didn't catch up with the Ming army's sentry horse, but was pulled away, Dai Zhifan asked again.
"Yes, all of them are cavalry, and there are no baggage, but the auxiliary horses are loaded with food, blankets, and some arrows!"
Dai Zhifan nodded, there was no baggage and he was distanced by the scouts, it seemed that Qingqi was indeed tired, "It's hard, you go down and rest!" ”
The sentinel saluted and hurriedly retreated, Dai Zhifan turned around, and saw that the soldiers who had been resting in the forest for a long time, under the greeting of the generals, all picked up their weapons and approached the edge of the woods.
"Someone, immediately notify the people and horses in the opposite woods to get ready, clear the cavalry in a moment, and then send someone to inform Xinye, so that Liu Fangliang must stop the rout." Dai Zhifan's eyes were sharp, and he pressed the war knife in one hand and commanded loudly.
Immediately two groups of cavalry rushed out of the woods, one went directly into the woods opposite, and the other galloped north.
Azig's approach was not wrong, but he lost the first move, and after being outflanked by the Ming army, he was passive everywhere.
The sound of hooves rumbled in the river valley, and the 20,000 Qing cavalry gritted their teeth and galloped for twenty miles, but they still chased and lost the Ming army's sentry horse, which made Azig's heart heavy, and he waved his horsewhip while looking at the woods on both sides.
In this area, on both sides of the river valley, the mountains are low and gentle, and the forests are dense, because it is in the place where the north and the south are in the confrontation, the population has already moved to the Nanyang Basin in the north, or fled south into Chu, so it is uninhabited, there is no sound in the woods, and there is silence, which makes him inexplicably flustered, and unconsciously thinks of the bridge section of Cao Mengde's defeat in Chibi in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the hasty flight to the north.
The Ming army sentry in front of him, has run without a shadow, the galloping Qing cavalry slowly stopped here, Azigra moved the reins, the horse's nose snorted, kept spitting out white gas, his body turned around with the war horse, his eyes scanned the surroundings, it was really a good place to fight an ambush, many years of battle, let him feel a vigilance in his heart.
"The whole army immediately changed horses, and we can't stay here for long!" Azig shouted.
Qing riding continuous galloping, people are sleepy and horses are more lacking, people can grit their teeth and stop, but the horse is not good, Azig gave an order, more than 20,000 horses, one after another turned over and dismounted, Baoyi immediately to the masters, pull to prepare the horse, there was already a bit of chaos in the team, because the change of horses became more orderly.
Azig was about to climb a charcoal horse, his feet stepped on the horse's pedals, and before his body went up, an arrow in the woods next to him shot into the sky, and the crisp explosion of "bang" sounded, and the woods on both sides suddenly burst into unison, strangling the Qing army in the middle.
Caught off guard, the Qing army was put down in pieces, pieces of projectiles were splashed, arrows were shot in the sky, and in an instant, the Qing army on the river valley was in chaos.
A Qing soldier was just about to get on his horse, and the horse's buttocks were hit by an arrow, and he immediately went crazy, threw off the Qing soldiers, galloped forward, and hit several people one after another, which made the Qing soldiers dodge in horror.
Seeing this, Azig couldn't help but be heartbroken, he was really afraid of something, he was really alive and ****.
"Quick! Don't get confused, speed on the horse and rush out! Azig hurriedly mounted his horse and tugged at the reins as hard as he could, trying to stabilize the frightened horse.
"Kill! Capture Azig alive, the reward of Tonghou is the best! ”
The commander of the infantry battalion ambushed in the opposite woods made Qin Feng shout, and the young general, led five thousand erlang, like a tiger, rushed out of the woods, taking advantage of the confusion of the Qing army and losing the ability to maneuver, he rushed straight to the Qing army, and the Qing army was wrenched together.
