Chapter 176: Battle of Tongguan 3

"Someone, someone, what's going on, what's going on, is it the Ming army calling, hurry, dress this king in armor." Duoduo was awakened by the noise of the mountain in the camp, originally Duoduo led the troops outside, and he always slept very lightly, but this time, because they were the main attackers, and he didn't think that the Ming army in Tongguan would really dare to attack the Manchurian camp, so, after camping last night, after drinking a little wine, he slept until now, which is also a habit that Duoduo has developed for many years, and began to lead troops to fight outside the pass when he was more than ten years old, and he must always keep his brain and body in the best condition, so drink a little wine appropriately, It's the last resort, which can not only drive away the cold, but also refresh the mind.

It was precisely because of this that he did not wake up at the first time of the incident, but waited for the people in the camp to shout and neigh, and then woke up suddenly.

Duoduo's roar made a few Goshha quickly run outside the big tent, and when he saw Duoduo in a pair of pajamas, he knelt down and said, "Don't worry, master, although rest assured, the Ming army didn't come." ”

Hearing that it was not the Ming army calling, Duoduo finally breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately, his face quickly flushed with anger, and he shouted loudly, "Bastard, I don't have a good rest in the middle of the night, but I am making trouble everywhere, what is going on, what kind of slave who is not long-eyed, dare to be so undisciplined, pass the order, and execute me on the spot to set an example." "Duoduo knows very well that the more wartime, the more strict military discipline must be, otherwise, once the morale of the army is weakened, there is a danger of annihilation!

As soon as Duoduo's words were finished, the Goshha looked at each other and looked at each other, and after a long time, one of the more bold Goshkha said, "Lord, didn't you order the attack?" Otherwise, how could five or six Niu Lu attack together. ”

"What, whoever gave the order, this king did not give the order yesterday, there is no order from this king. No one is allowed to go to war without permission, say, tell me, what the hell is going on? Hearing Goshha's words, Duoduo's heart sank, and a bad thought formed in his heart, and suddenly his heart, which had just calmed down, hung again.

Seeing such an anxious Duoduo, those Goshha didn't dare to hide it. He said everything he knew in one go, "Lord Wang, just now the minions heard from the soldiers who were patrolling the night in front of them that Lord Doltai led his men to attack Tongguan, and then, following Lord Doltai's Niu Lu, Lord Harks, Lord Erduo, Lord Qi Litu and other four or five adults. They all rushed up with their respective oxen, and now they are besieging the city. Why, isn't this your order, my lord? ”

As soon as Goshha's words were spoken, Duoduo's eyes were dark, but after all, he had led his troops on the expedition for many years, although his heart was furious and flustered. But he quickly stabilized his mood, and he didn't care about getting dressed, so he wore pajamas and ran barefoot quickly. Then he ran to the top of the high slope on the side, looking into the distance, at this time the sky had passed the darkest period, and there was already a slight light leaking out, so Duoduo could already vaguely see that under the city of Tongguan, a group of eight banner soldiers wearing helmets and armor were struggling to attack the city, of course, it is not accurate to say that it was a siege.

For they were all stopped by the wide moat, and the eight thousand soldiers who went to attack at this time were about three thousand, and except for a few hundred who were constantly shooting arrows at the top of the wall, all the rest of them ran back and forth between the moat and a mound, throwing bags of dirt into the moat.

Tongguan because it is close to the Yellow River, so his moat is also directly connected to the Yellow River, but unfortunately, at this time, because it is not summer, the river is not too abundant, although it is very spacious, it can not withstand thousands of people back and forth to fill like this, soon, the moat was filled by these thousands of Eight Banner soldiers, and then, a group of Eight Banner soldiers, swarming towards Tongguan.

Seeing this situation, Duoduo's eyes almost popped out of the back, he never thought that this sudden battle tonight would really achieve such a big gain, you know, in the previous time, although Duoduo knew that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was very low, but he still admired the ability of the Ming army to defend the city, especially in the face of a dangerous city like Tongguan, if you want to capture it smoothly, there is no loss of corpse mountains and blood seas, it is simply delusional.

But I didn't expect that this time the attack on the side of the oolong, less than 3,000 soldiers, actually filled the moat of Tongguan, you know, the reason for the huge loss of the siege is that the key lies in the moat and the city wall, especially the moat, some generals have said that if you want to fill the moat, you will not use mud, but corpses, which shows that the moat is not easy to cross.

At this time, when Duoduo saw this situation, he no longer thought about why those people would attack without an order, what he thought of was how to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat Tongguan in one fell swoop, if it can really succeed, then the Qing Dynasty will dominate the world and Dingding Central Plains is a sure thing.

Just as Duoduo was about to order the remaining Eight Banners soldiers to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the city with all kinds of siege equipment, the accident happened, and he saw that the Tongguan City, which was originally suppressed by hundreds of Eight Banner soldiers with bows and arrows, suddenly began a strong counterattack, arrows like rain, cannons like meteors, in addition to the narrow terrain in front of Tongguan, the more than 3,000 Eight Banners soldiers under this strong blow, have been unable to resist the horse and returned, although there are still some self-sustaining and brave Manchu soldiers, want to show their strength, but under the strict defense, One after another, their souls returned to the western sky.

At this time, Duoduo secretly sighed in his heart, he knew that the best opportunity to win Tongguan was missed in one fell swoop, although he didn't know why the Ming army's reaction was so slow before, but then it was so sharp, but these Duoduo didn't think about it anymore, and now the best way is to Mingjin to withdraw the troops, otherwise, the three thousand Eight Banners Army will definitely die in battle so aggrieved, if that's the case, even if Duoduo's status is noble, he can't afford this responsibility.

After hearing Duoduo's voice ordering Mingjin, not only the remaining Eight Banner soldiers under Tongguan breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, standing at the head of the city, but Shi Lei, who also had a worried look on his face, also breathed a sigh of relief.

For tonight's big battle, not only the Manchu Qing side was unprepared, even Shi Lei and others were unprepared, although the art of war said that it was unprepared to attack it by surprise, but after all, it was also a minority, this Tongguan battle was simply a hard-fought battle, you were taken by surprise, can you directly break the city wall?

Therefore, Shi Lei arranged for the 10,000 soldiers originally stationed in Tongguan to defend the city, while the 30,000 new troops brought by Dong Qi rested peacefully in the military camp in the city, in order to maintain the best condition in the future war.

And the 10,000 soldiers who were originally stationed in Tongguan were originally elite soldiers under Li Zicheng, but these soldiers let them rush to the death, nothing, but if they were allowed to defend the city, it would be a little difficult, in addition to them, they were not like the new army trained by Shi Lei, the order was forbidden, and in addition to their old combat thinking, therefore, at the beginning, Shi Lei did not use them as the main force, but as a backup soldier, and this work of defending the city is not a tiring work, so, Shi Lei also let them serve.

But no one thought that because of a small thing, caused such a big oolong, the Manchu Qing actually attacked the city, in the face of this situation, the soldiers defending the city were a little caught off guard, in addition to being suppressed by the momentum of the Manchu Qing, the two thousand soldiers on the head of the city were actually suppressed by hundreds of Manchu cavalry with bows and arrows, and then, just watched the moat was filled with Manchus.

Fortunately, the attack of the Eight Banners Army was an oolong incident, all kinds of cooperation, all kinds of support were not docked in time, so as to give Shi Lei a buffer time, after Dong Qi took the new army to the city, he immediately organized a powerful counterattack, for these Shi Lei with the means of later generations to train the recruits, in terms of technology and the general veterans have a gap, but in the order to prohibit it, but there is no hindrance, bend the bow and arrows, ignite the fire, one by one has been trained thousands of times, even in the sleep will not do the wrong action, at this time, played a huge role.

It is precisely because of the timely counterattack of these new armies that Tongguan and Shi Lei, as well as the Han people in the world, have escaped a catastrophe.

"Please also ask your lord to forgive your sins, it is the last general who has no way to manage it, so that the enemy can take advantage, and please punish your lordship." Seeing the Manchu Eight Banners slowly retreating, Dong Qi knelt in front of Shi Lei and pleaded guilty.

Although he does not blame Dong Qi for this matter, but now Dong Qi is the nominal highest official in Tongguan, and at this time it is wartime, and there are always people who come out to confess if they lose the battle.

"Hey, forget it, fundamentally speaking, this matter is all the fault of the official, if it weren't for the fact that the official was too confident, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened, it's none of your business, you better get up, it's just that this kind of problem will not occur in the future, the Manchu Eight Banners Army can be powerful in the world, and Duoduo can be famous all over the world, that is all with real skills, and there can be no slack at all, okay, the official will go back first, you will deal with it here, and think about how to take back the moat." While helping Dong Qi up from the ground, Shi Lei said with a light sigh.

This battle had a great impact on Shi Lei's heart, originally he thought that with his prophetic knowledge, he thought that he could completely crush anyone in this era, but today's battle gave him a head start, making him understand that knowledge is just knowledge, if it can't play a role, it is useless at all, and this matter also let him know that if he wants to destroy the Manchu Dynasty, restore the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties, and make Huaxia the center of this world again, it is not enough to rely on blood and passion. The important thing is to have scheming and means.
