464. Wanting to take the tiger cub as a poor Pang (2)
When Yu Guozhen's headquarters was still four miles away from Panlong Ridge, the messenger sent back by Qi Niu had already reported the news of his defeat of Jianyu.
The cavalry clashed, the move was fast, and the end was also fast, and the half of the two hundred people who broke through in front of Jianyu were almost all wiped out, but the rest fled quickly, and most of them escaped from the mountains. It was difficult for Qi Niu to take the dragoon battalion into the mountains and forests, so he did not chase after him, but cleaned up the battlefield and treated the wounded.
The dragoon battalion was not completely uninjured, and there were more than 30 people killed, and nearly 100 people were injured like Wang Qinian. However, except for Wang Qinian, who broke his bones and needed to recuperate, most of them were minor injuries on the flesh and skin, and he could continue to fight after bandaging them.
"Okay, let's move on!" Yu Guozhen was very happy to get this news.
The dragoon battalion didn't wait long, Yu Guozhen's headquarters had already arrived, and then joined forces and began to move forward.
The whole Panlong Ridge is a series of mountains connected together, stretching for about fifteen miles, the place where Qi Niu was attacked, is the entrance of the Panlong Ridge Wolf Cat Mountain.
"Jianyu chose to attack here, it's not that he doesn't have vision, it's just that his vision is limited. Wolong Ridge is the most suitable place to attack, the mountains on both sides are higher and more down, as long as you use rolling logs to beat stones on the mountain, you can cause us great damage. Here, he can only use soldiers - but, here the troops can't be unfolded, and when the two sides have the same strength, who are we afraid of? Yu Guozhen laughed.
As he laughed, he looked around, and everyone around him laughed.
Fifteen miles away, Dorgon laughed similarly.
"Fatan is dead. Let Prince Rui be so happy? He Shuotu couldn't help but say: "I don't know where he offended Prince Rui, and he would end up like this!" β
If Heshuotu doesn't open his mouth again, the hearts of the generals of Zhenghongqi will be lost.
"I confess to Fa Tan, don't be careless, he doesn't listen to me, he is lucky to die, otherwise I will punish him for his crimes." Dolgon's eagle eyes tossed, "I'm laughing." But it was his stupidity that made my ambush more real! β
"Why did the prince say this, the slave is stupid, and he really doesn't understand." Behind him. Naturally, there are few cronies who can't come to pat themselves.
"Yu Guozhen knew that I would design an ambush, but there were two locations, one was this Panlong Ridge. The other place is Wolong Ridge, and he can't figure out which side of my ambush is. Dorgon sneered, "He has faith in himself and wants to do what he wants, so he first uses the cavalry as the vanguardβthe cavalry is the way to find out where our ambush is." Now he can confirm that there is no ambush in Panlongling, and the ambush can only be in Wolongling, and then, he has to arrange, or Xueyuetuo will set fire to the ambush soldiers in Wolongling. Or some other trick, in short, to make my ambush undone. β
"No wonder, it turns out that the prince is the real and the imaginary, and the team of Fa Tan is here to prove that there is no ambush here, and I believe that Yu Guozhen thinks that our army is all in Wolongling. But I didn't know that we were still in Panlong Ridge! β
"It is precisely this meaning, this Panlong Ridge is more than 20 miles long, he has guarded against the entrance, but he can't prevent the exit!" Speaking of this, Dorgon added, "Carry me all the wood that has been cut down and pile it at the intersection ahead." Then one of the trees was planted and the board was nailed. Yu Guozhen died in this Kinoshita! β
Dolgon likes military books, and often uses the Han people's military books to find people to explain, Sun Bin broke Pang Juan's battle example, he has a deep memory. When he saw the mountain valley of Panlong Ridge, he remembered that Sun Bin ambushed Pang Juan and killed him.
This is Pang Juan who treats Yu Guozhen as a desperate person.
Among those who knew this allusion, some people began to boast and praise, praising Dolgon as Sun Bin's resurrection, and they had to compare Yu Guozhen with Pang Juan. Dolgon laughed at all these praises, but he did not lose his vigilance, and personally inspected every ambush.
The mountains on both sides of the Panlongling mountain road are actually not high, folded into an elevation, that is, about three or four hundred meters, and the relative height is also from more than ten meters to more than 100 meters, but the slopes on both sides are steep, the official road is narrow, and the woods are dense. At this time, it is the early spring, the grass and trees have not yet grown, so there are many dead branches and leaves, if a fire is burned, I am afraid that the mountain road that stretches for more than ten miles will be a sea of fire. Dolgon hid his troops behind the mountains and valleys on both sides, hundreds of steps away from the official road, so that he would not be discovered by the tiger guards, and when everything was ready, he stopped, just waiting for Yu Guozhen to take the bait.
His scout horse had also been monitoring the movement of the Tiger Guard, and after learning that Yu Guozhen's headquarters had joined the cavalry, he knew that whether his plan could be realized depended on the next period of time.
"Among the new soldiers, there are a lot of big vehicles, there are hundreds of them, but the new soldiers are advancing very fast, and they can enter the ambush circle in about an hour and a half!"
"The soldiers are fast, Yu Guozhen wants to surprise me, of course I have to run faster. As for the big cars...... Do you know what the biggest flaw of the new soldiers is? β
All the generals who were close to him shook their heads, that is, they knew that they could not speak at this time, otherwise how could they reflect the wisdom of Prince Rui. There was only one person who didn't give Dolgon this opportunity to show off, and Abatai said coldly: "The military consumption is too large! β
"Yes, Brother Abatai is right, that's right."
Abatai didn't want to see Dolgon's triumphant comments, so he spoke, but he didn't expect that Dolgon praised him like a private school teacher praised a smart student, which embarrassed him even more than Dolgon's display of his wisdom.
Seeing that Abatai's original swarthy face had turned purple, Dorgon raised his chin and smiled slightly.
"Every time the new soldiers come to a battle, the ammunition consumed is several times that of ordinary Ming officers and soldiers, and their soldiers are well supplied, presumably many people have tasted their canned food, such supplies are naturally indispensable for large carts." "There are hundreds of carts," said Dolgon...... Hehe, it seems that he is giving us a gift. β
Everyone laughed, but Abatai's face turned blue and purple, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the anger in his chest.
An hour and a half is quite difficult for the waiting Jianyu. Even Dolgon, too, gradually felt impatient, and finally someone came to announce that the hour had come. But he still didn't see the Tiger Guard.
The report received said that the tiger guards did not know what was going on, and after meeting up with the cavalry, they stopped advancing for only two miles. And there was a lot of noise among the tiger guards, and it looked like something was going on.
"Huh?" This discovery made Dolgon feel bad at once.
However, things were not beyond his control, so he could afford to wait, but he saw that it was getting late. The news brought by the next scout who came to report was even more shocking to Dolgon.
"The new soldiers are digging into the ground and setting up camp? Built in this valley? β
"Back to the prince's words, the slave confirmed. It's really camping! β
Dolgon hadn't said anything yet, and Hauge laughed out loud: "Uncle Wang is so strategic, I want to come to the new soldiers to set up camp." It's also expected by Uncle Wang, right? β
Dorgon gave him a sideways look, eager to go up and slap him.
But he knew that he was just in a tight situation, and he fiddled with the middle and senior generals of these clans around him one by one, but now that things have gone wrong, their minds that were suppressed by their own merits before have to be active again at this time!
"I'll see for myself...... The army is not allowed to move here, and those who disobey the order, whether it is Baylor or Baoyi, are punished. Dolgon's grim gaze swept over everyone's faces. Then got on his own horse.
If a large army marches more than ten miles, it will take more than an hour, but if it is only a small group of fast horses, it will only be a matter of more than half an hour. Dorgon took his Goshha to a distance of about three miles from the Tiger Guard, and then dismounted and climbed the mountain. I found a place with dense forests, and then looked this way with a telescope from between the branches and leaves, and saw that in a flat place between the valleys, the tiger guards had already set up camp.
Unlike other troops who had to make temporary fences and other fortifications when they camped, the barracks and fences in the Tiger Guard march were built like building blocks. It is only in some places where there are no spare parts after damage that they are temporarily manufactured by Tiger Guard. Beyond the fence, there is a layer of barbed wire, then a trench half a meter deep and about a meter wide, and beyond the trench, sharpened wooden sticks and a mess of barbed wire. In the camp, watchtowers stand on all sides, and there are police posts holding binoculars to look around. Outside the camp, piles of branches were piled up in several clearings, which would be set on fire after nightfall to prevent the enemy from approaching through the nightfall.
Seeing such a complete vigilance system, Dorgon first ruled out the idea of launching a night attack. The opponent's fence is as high as a foot, and the defense is extremely layered, it is impossible to break into the enemy camp in one fell swoop, as long as the enemy discovers that the gunpowder storm brought by as many as 10,000 muskets is enough to tear up all attacks!
Moreover, this place is the most empty place in the entire Panlong Ridge Valley, and there is a spring flowing through it, and the tiger guard has cleaned up the surrounding grass and trees, so even if Dolgon attacks with fire, the effect will not be very ideal.
"Damn...... What happened to make Yu Guozhen set up camp here? Dorgon frowned, feeling extremely strange in his heart.
If Yu Guozhen saw through all his plans, then he should withdraw from Panlong Valley as soon as possible, but if he didn't see through his plans, why did Yu Guozhen stop here?
After a long time Dolgon said nothing, came down from the mountain again, mounted his horse, and went back and forth.
His expression made Goshha who followed him tremble, and he didn't dare to say much. When he got to the place where the camp was, he heard Hauge's unbridled laughter from inside, and it was obvious that Haug had become the center of attention in his absence, and Dorgon was sure that what Haug was saying behind his back was anything but good.
Sure enough, as soon as he appeared in everyone's sight, Hauge said loudly: "Uncle, if it looks like it's going to be too late today, should we go to compete with Yu Guozhen head-on, or continue to wait for him to take the bait?" The uncle's strategy is not bad, but it ......"
"Are you happy?" Dorgon interrupted him rudely: "Am I a general or are you a general?" β
Hauge was dumbfounded.
"Yu Guozhen stopped just right, you listen, Haoge, you lead twenty Niu Lu, immediately detour through Licheng, and arrive at the entrance of Panlong Valley before tomorrow morning to ambush, if Yu Guozhen retreats, you will block him for me, if you can't block it, only you ask!"
"Abatai, you take twenty Niu Lu and lie in ambush on the north mountain, don't let Yu Guozhen come out of the mountains. Du Du, you are also twenty Niu Lu, go to Nanshan, detour to the south of the valley road, don't let Yu Guozhen go out of the mountains. Dorgon ordered: "Wait for my command, and if you see me striking the enemy, you will also strike the enemy!" β
