Chapter 66: Counterattack

"Long live Daming!! - "Long live Daming!! ——”…… After the Qing army retreated, the officers and soldiers of Ganzhou Town in the city cheered together to celebrate the victory. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The cheers were like thunder on the ground, shaking the heavens and the earth, and everyone who heard it was rejoicing.

Pang Yue and several generals also went to the soldiers and shared the joy after the victory with them. At this time, the silver-white mountain armor on Pang Yue's body had been dyed red, and there was also a large piece of dried blood on his face, which made the originally kind smile a little hideous. This blood was left after he personally killed three Qing soldiers on the head of the city just now, and he never had time to wipe it. Although Pang Yue's move made him unrecognizable for the time being, it pulled his morale to a new peak.

"Your Excellency!" "Your Excellency!" …… Seeing Pang Yue coming over, both officers and non-commissioned officers greeted excitedly, with reverence in their eyes. Pang Yue also had no pretense, smiling and nodding in response, walking among the soldiers and patting them on the shoulders or beating them on the chest, silently showing his affirmation of their efforts to kill the enemy.

Looking at the young faces full of excitement, Pang Yue sighed from his heart: With such a simple and brave soldier as the backing, what reason do I have not to shoulder my responsibilities?

After a while, Zhang Yunli walked up to Pang Yue and asked, "My lord, do you want to send someone down to collect the head of the Tartar now?" ”

Pang Yue looked at the city, the originally empty and flat land was now almost a sea of corpses and blood, and in some places, the corpses of the red gown were almost stacked in several layers. Originally, as a time-traveling person with a modern concept, Pang Yue was somewhat unsuitable for the method of cutting off the head and recording merits, but considering that this was a rule that had been passed down for thousands of years, he had no choice but to abandon his personal preferences, nodded and said, "Okay, you are responsible for arranging the manpower, and pay attention to guarding against the sneak attack of the Tartars." In addition, after the battalions had dinner, let the battalion officers of each battalion come to the Yamen of the general army, and invite the two generals, Hu Yiqing and Zhao Yinxuan, to come. ”

"Yes!"

Soon, the Taishan battalion transferred a team of auxiliaries, and under the protection of the soldiers, they began to go out of the city to cut the head.

At this time, Li Yingzong, Ke Yongsheng's green camp and the Han army with the blue flag of Jiala also began to camp in the original place where they came ashore, and the light of various torches was faint, and standing at the head of the city, you could faintly see the busy figures back and forth. When he found out that the Ming army actually went out of the city unscrupulously to cut off the head, Ke Yongsheng suddenly became a little annoyed and angry, and Li Yingzong, who had just suffered a big loss under the city, was even more angry and his face turned red and scolded, and he even wanted to return to the city to give the Ming army a little color. However, this intention was decisively stopped by the blue-inlaid flag armor named Dachun, Lazhangjing.

Due to the abundance of manpower, it didn't take long for the soldiers of Ganzhou Town who left the city to cut off all the heads of the dead bodies of the Qing army and bring them back to the city to count, with a total of more than 1,000 pieces, not including the parts that have become rotten watermelons that cannot be counted. Among them, there are 723 levels under the south gate of Zhennan, 436 levels under the Jianchun Gate, and 74 levels under the Xijin Gate. After receiving the report, Pang Yue ordered these heads to be put into storage with lime nitrate. Although Pang Yue's stomach couldn't help but twitch a little when he thought of these processes, he had to endure it in order to have proof of the soldiers' military exploits.

In the evening, the general army of Ganzhou Yamen

Pang Yue, Zhang Yunli, Tian Shizun and the battalion officers of the four battalions gathered together, and Hu Yiqing and Zhao Yinxuan also rushed over after receiving the news. After everyone arrived, Pang Yue made his decision.

"What? My lord, are you going to take the initiative to go out of the city to attack the Qing captives? After listening to Pang Yue's words, Zhang Yunli said with some surprise.

Not only Zhang Yunli, but Tian Shizun and other generals were also taken aback. Especially Hu Yiqing and Zhao Yinxuan, who had just arrived in Ganzhou, were full of incomprehension in their eyes: the battle against the city has already achieved such results, why do they take the risk to take the initiative to attack out of the city? …,

"My lord, the city of Ganzhou is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, our army only needs to defend the city to cause heavy losses to the Qing captives, so why risk going out of the city to fight?" Cui Shoucheng persuaded.

Lu Qiwu also nodded: "Yes, my lord." Although our army is not afraid of Li Yingzong and Ke Yongsheng, there are still nearly 10,000 Jiannu on the other side of the strait. Once our army goes out of the city and gets into a fight with the green battalion, won't it give Jiannu a chance to take advantage of it? ”

"What Liang Gong and Chengye said is," Zhang Yunli said, "My lord, our army is still holding the city and waiting for reinforcements to arrive. ”

After learning of Pang Yue's decision, Zhang Yunli, Lu Qiwu, and Cui Shoucheng expressed their opposition to varying degrees. Tian Shizun stroked his long beard under his chin and pondered silently, Gao Yongxin, the acting battalion officer of the Taishan battalion, knew that he had shallow qualifications and was not easy to express his opinions. As for Hu Yiqing and Zhao Yinxuan, both of them are foreign generals, so it is even more difficult to openly oppose them, but they just said some painless words.

At this moment, Shi Youliang also said with a big grin: "Lord Mingjian! Those Qing dogs are rampant during the day, and it's long overdue to teach them a lesson! You give the order! The brothers of the Flying Tiger Battalion are waiting for your dispatch at any time! ”

Hearing Shi Youliang's words, Pang Yue smiled, and then his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and said: "Everyone, our army is holding Ganzhou, the main purpose is twofold, one is to hold the strategic land of Ganzhou, and the other is to annihilate so many Qing captives, only by completely beating and maiming them, they will not dare to be unscrupulous and do whatever they want in the land of Shenzhou!" ”

Speaking of this, Pang Yue's words changed: "Right now, there is a great opportunity in front of us. Turai Na thought that our army would not dare to take the initiative to attack out of the city, so he did not rush to lead Manchuria to cross the river. Li Yingzong and Ke Yongsheng would probably not have expected that our army would suddenly leave the city. If this is the case, why does our army not use it? Wouldn't it be better to go out of the city to fight Li Yingzong and Ke Yongsheng by surprise and annihilate more Qing prisoners than to passively defend the city? ”

Seeing that Pang Yue had great confidence in his tone, it was difficult for Zhang Yunli and the others, who had raised opposing opinions, to say anything, after all, Pang Yue was the chief soldier of a town, not to mention, not everyone present was on their side.

Seeing that Zhang Yunli and the others were no longer talking, Pang Yue asked Tian Shizun again: "What does Mr. Zijing think?" ”

"The students thought that it was okay for the adults to make this move, and it was indeed better to be caught off guard by surprise than to be trapped in Ganzhou." Tian Shizun said, "But the details have to be carefully considered, and after the surprise attack is successful, try to collect troops and return to the city before Jiannu crosses the river." ”

"It's nature." Pang Yue smiled and nodded. Since Tian Shizun also expressed his support, the matter of going out of the city to raid the Qing army can basically be decided.

In the early morning of the next day, the Qing army camp south of the south gate of the town

At this time, there were still two quarters of an hour before the hour (six o'clock), and the sky was still only dark. The Qing officers and soldiers in charge of standing guard were resisting the sleepiness that came from the attack, trying hard to lift their spirits, and only hoped that the people who would change the guard would arrive as soon as possible, so that they could go back and squint for a while. Last night they received an order to take strict precautions to avoid a sneak attack by the Ming army, so everyone's eyes widened and they did not dare to relax in the slightest, but in fact nothing happened.

Fuck, I finally got through it, and I worried about it for most of the night! A Qing army sentry officer looked at the Ming army sentry at the south gate of the town in the distance, and secretly sighed while fighting.

At this moment, a slight sound came from the direction of the city gate, and the Qing army sentry officer who had just finished fighting Ha and subconsciously glanced at it with hazy eyes, and after a glance, he suddenly had a thrill, and quickly rubbed his eyes and continued to look. But the facts told him that he was not mistaken.

Through the mist, you can see that the south gate of the town is gradually opened, and a large number of black shadows are constantly pouring out of the city gate hole. Not only that, but there was also a black figure at the corner of the city wall in the west, and there were more and more of them. …,

"The Ming army is coming!" The Qing army sentry shouted as he tore open his throat.

As soon as the words fell, I heard a muffled thunderous sound rolling towards this side in the direction of the city gate, and the ground began to tremble with it, intensifying and intensifying, and I didn't need to think about it to know that it was the Ming army that sent a large number of cavalry.

The rapid sound of the horn resounded over the entire camp, and the Qing officers and soldiers woke up from their sleep one after another, and hurriedly got up and grabbed their armor and weapons. For a while, the exclamations of the soldiers and the scolding of the officials suddenly converged and looked noisy.

The first to react was the blue-flaged Han army on the west side of the camp. Najia Lazhang Jingdachun has always been cautious, and deliberately let some soldiers not take off their armor when they camped, just in case. Therefore, after hearing the trumpet of the early warning, the soldiers of the Han Army Banner of this Jiala were not as flustered as the green battalion soldiers, but methodically picked up their weapons, pulled out their horses, and prepared to meet the battle.

"Lord Dachun, the puppet cavalry is rushing over!" One of Dachun's side, Goshha, rushed over and said breathlessly.

"Puppet cavalry? Hahaha, good time! Da Chun's face not only did not show the slightest panic, but was full of desire to fight, "I haven't seen such a kind of Ming dog for a long time!" Let the sons and daughters get on the horse and fight with me! Chop this bright dog to pieces! ”

"Huh!"

The cavalry of the Ming army was getting closer and closer, and there were only four or five hundred steps left from the camp of the Qing army, and it was Shi Youliang who led the team. This time, all the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion in Ganzhou Town, totaling more than 1,200 cavalry, were dispatched, and the Dian Battalion also dispatched 700 cavalry, led by Zhao Yinxuan to cooperate with the Flying Tiger Battalion.

Soon, the figure of the Han army's blue-flag cavalry appeared in the sight of the Ming soldiers, but there were only more than 500 horsemen, including 200 horse-based auxiliaries, which were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers. But even so, Da Chun is still full of confidence, as early as the Chongzhen period, when he entered the pass with the main force of the Eight Banners and plundered, he had already created a battle example of defeating thousands of Ming troops with more than 100 cavalry, not to mention now? With the weak nature of the Ming army, the hundreds of cavalry under his command can be crushed with a single charge, and then when the follow-up men and horses arrive, this group of Ming troops who don't know the thickness of the world will have only one way to die.

"For the sake of the Great Clear! Kill! - "Da Chun, who was galloping on his horse, drew his saber and pointed to the sky and shouted.

"Kill! ——" The cavalrymen of the Han army with blue flags roared and echoed, the sabers raised were like a forest of rigid iron, and a little cold light was enough to make the faint of heart shudder.

Shi Youliang looked at the Han Army Banner Cavalry rushing over on the opposite side, smiled coldly, turned his head and commanded He Zhenting, the deputy of the Flying Tiger Battalion beside him: "You take Team C and General Zhao to attack the Qinggou camp together, and I will take Team A and Team B to meet this fake Tartar on the opposite side!" ”

"Yes!"

The galloping Ming cavalry quickly divided into two groups, Shi Youliang personally led the Flying Tiger Battalion A and B teams with a total of more than 700 cavalry towards the blue flag cavalry, and the Flying Tiger Battalion C team under the leadership of He Zhenting and the Dian cavalry went straight to the Qing army camp that was still in panic. For a while, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and the smoke and dust were billowing out.
