Chapter 452: It's still comfortable on our side
"General Tang, look at it, we are still comfortable here. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The sound of guns and cannons faintly came from the Loess Ridge, and Ma Ke, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, listened attentively for a while, turned around, and smiled at Tang Tong, the chief soldier of Miyun.
"It's a fierce fight!"
Tang Tong, who was dressed in exquisite armor and wearing a red cloak, rode a horse and sat on a divine horse, also listened attentively. After listening to Ma Ke's words, he sighed: "The slaves and thieves in the Loess Ridge have strong defenses, and it is not easy to capture the mountains. ”
He was worried on his face, but in fact, his words were not without schadenfreude.
Ma Ke snorted coldly in his heart, this little white face looks harmless to humans and animals, but it is actually cloudy.
However, he smiled on his face and said, "But Hongdu has his own arrangements, and I will obey the military order." ”
Tang Tong gave a thumbs up: "What Ma Shuai said is right, as a general, how the superintendent arranges, I will do it." In particular, Ma Shuai has been in the army for a long time, this old man has experience, and he is honest, and the little brother follows Ma Shuai, and his heart is down-to-earth! ”
Ma Ke smiled: "General Tang, with the friendship between the two of us, you will see the outside world when you say this."
He looked at the military formation in front of him and behind him, and his expression was not without pride: "The Inspector let us hold Songxi, and I, Ma Ke, can say here, as long as I and General Tang are here, I will not let a single soldier and a horse of the Tartars cross Songshan Fort and threaten the friendly forces attacking the Loess Ridge!" ”
Tang Tong was flattered again, and the two laughed and laughed, and they were very affectionate.
After receiving Hong Chengchou's military order, the two immediately pulled out the troops and deployed them on a hill southwest of Songshan Fort, about two miles away from their own camp.
This time to aid Liaodong, Tang Tong led 10,000 troops, and Ma Ke led 30,000 troops, of course, they were all just claims, and the actual numbers were a few thousand less. The two of them camped a little bit, also in the west of Songshan Fort, located on both sides of the Songshan River, although the river is dry, but in terms of drinking water, the soldiers and horses of the two are much more convenient than the rest of the army.
In this arrangement, Tang Tong left 1,000 men and horses to guard the camp, and the remaining 7,000 men and horses, of which 3,000 were his horse infantry soldiers in the barracks. The remaining two battalions, one general and one guerrilla leader respectively, the proportion of horses and horses are three or seven, and there are many chariots and horses in the battalion.
Ma Ke pulled out 10,000 men, and the main barracks were 5,000 men and horses, most of them were cavalry, and the rest were also divided into two battalions, and the generals were all generals.
In this aid, Ma Ke claimed to have the most men and horses under his command, but each general had a ghost in his heart, and when it came to the actual control of soldiers and horses, Ma Ke not only could not compare with Wang Dou and Yang Guozhu, but also with Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, could not be compared.
After all, Wang Pu Yizheng barracks, a new barracks, and more than 6,000 people in the headquarters, and the equipment of soldiers and horses is also superior to that of the mountain navy.
Shanhaiguan and Jizhen are both known as Dajun towns, and the headquarters are far behind. In terms of fame and prestige, it is far inferior to Yang Guozhu and Wang Dou. Ma Ke and the others were naturally jealous and unhappy.
However, Ma Ke can be the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and he is still capable, and he fell in love with the southwest hill of the camp at a glance.
As long as you take this place and set up a large array, whether the Qing soldiers come from the west or the north (not to mention the south for the time being, can the Qing army still come from Xingshan Fort?). It was impossible to ignore the Ming army there, providing a solid rear barrier for the Ming army attacking the mountain east of Songshan Fort.
Like the traditional military formation of the Ming Dynasty, the two soldiers and horses are also in front of the car battalion, and the cavalry is in the back and on both sides. It has been a long time since the army was laid down, the sun was slowly rising, and Marco looked into the distance, and the wilderness to the west did not move for a long time.
He smiled and said: "It seems that there is no war on the Western Front today, and the Tartar soldiers near Songshan have all gone to the Loess Ridge!" ”
Tang Tong straightened his cloak and said: "Yes, as Ma Shuai said, I will wait for today's comfort, and if I don't move a soldier or a sword, the credit for guarding the rear wing will be in hand......"...,
Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened, and he saw a black line spreading across the field ahead.
The faces of the two immediately changed, and they both thought: "I'm afraid it's rare to be comfortable today." ”
Slowly, the Qing soldiers and horses could see clearly, hunting banners, and sweeping people, afraid that there were more than 10,000 people.
Ma Ke and Tang Tong's faces were even more ugly, and they both thought: "It seems that there is going to be a hard battle!" ”
Then the two of them were relieved, and Tang Tong smiled: "It turned out to be those two Tartars of the Han Army Banner." ”
The two could see clearly that although the Qing army forced more than 10,000 people, most of them were the banners of the Eight Banners Han Army. There are only a few thousand inside, which are the armor soldiers of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, some of the Mongolian soldiers of the Eight Banners, and the Mongolian soldiers of the outer domains.
Looking at the strength of his own people, and the strong chariot camp, the favorable hills are shaped, as long as he does not hold on to the attack, nearly 20,000 people, it is still easy for more than 10,000 people in the Upper Tartars. Not to mention, there are only a small number of true Tartars in them.
The Ming army was in full array, and when they saw the clear soldiers, they also laid down a large array about two miles in front of the large array, on a hilly plateau.
Suddenly, Ma Ke's face changed greatly, Tang Tong's face turned blue, and he trembled: "That'...... What are those two tartars pulling out......"
Ma Ke's face was also blue and white for a while, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's the Hongyi cannon, it seems that there are still a lot of artillery, and there are more than forty heavy artillery pieces that hit more than ten catties of cannons......"
……
Countless Qing troops rode into the car camp, and immediately in Bai Guangen's army, those car camp gunners were routed and rushed back.
They left their backs to the cavalry who rushed at them, and they were constantly trampled over, slashed over, wailing, and screaming to the eardrums.
Some of the gunners tried to resist, but the people around them were fleeing, or they saw the Tartars outflanking them, and the Qing cavalry kept riding and shooting, and they had to flee with them in fear.
In the front battalion of the chariot battalion, the left battalion, and the right battalion, there were constantly chariots being overturned and knocked away, and waves of heavy riders entered from the gap. Their constant outflanking, dividing, tearing, and driving away seemed to make the Ming army feel that there were their men and horses everywhere, and the camp had been broken everywhere and could not be defended.
Under the fear, the routs panicked, and most of them followed the flow of people, driven by the Qing soldiers, and rushed to the rear of the large array. Many people crowded together, pushed down, trampled to death, or fought each other in order to gain space to survive.
Originally, several car battalions under Bai Guangen's cloth were like several hollow phalanxes, plus the rear formations of the Chinese army, which could effectively provide fire support between the front, the front, the left and the right. However, under the rout, the soldiers fled like a collapse, and nothing was used.
Behind the gunners, there were cold-armed soldiers from each battalion, and when the Qing cavalry had just broken through the camp, they still wanted to resist in formation. But then countless people rushed over like a nest, and immediately congested or dispersed their military formation.
How do they fight when they are huddled together?
At this time, the Qing cavalry continued to drive behind, and the people behind were afraid and desperately squeezed forward. With a bang, like a flood, these cold weapons collapsed into a larger torrent of rout, rushing towards the rear.
Bai Guangen, the chief soldier of Jizhen, couldn't imagine that his army would be defeated so quickly, this was just a blink of an eye?
He was dumbfounded, and just muttered, "Resist it for me!" ”
Suddenly, a fierce light flashed in his eyes and shouted: "Resist Lao Tzu!" ”
He shouted: "Pass the order, the rout must not attack the Chinese army, and all the violators will be shot!" ”
The generals beside him did not dare to slack off, if the rout army attacked the Chinese army, it would be the result of the rout of the whole army, and then the entire Jizhen army would be finished. Even if the friendly army rescues in time, under the pursuit of the Qing cavalry, the fear of loss is calculated in seven or eighty percent.
At this time, Bai Guangen did not dare to send out the cavalry without the frontal resistance of the car battalion, and he sent 1,000 or 2,000 cavalry, but only to deliver food to the Tartars. …,
Under his order, the main barracks quickly formed a circle that was conducive to defense, regardless of the infantry and cavalry, surrounded by dense shields and spears in the direction of the rout, and a large number of archers were arranged.
Like Yang Guozhu's main barracks, the headquarters of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty are mostly cavalry troops, and they are basically cold weaponsmen.
Don't talk about the arrogant soldiers, but fight old battles one by one, stretch bows and arrows, that's just an idle thing.
As soon as it was arranged, in the blink of an eye, the tide of rout soldiers had rushed in, and on the right side, there were many screaming and fleeing people.
Between Bai Guangen and Wu Sangui's large array, both sides arranged some chariots, some cold weapon troops, and some cavalry to cover the trenches dug by those people. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, several of Bai Guangen's car battalions were defeated, and those people were naked under the iron hooves of the Qing army.
More than 10,000 people howled like a fried pot, and as soon as the Qing army killed and drove away, they screamed and fled in all directions, and there was a panicked shout everywhere: "Tartar, it's Tartar!" ”
They converged into a huge flow of people and rushed across the military formation and cavalry behind, some of them rushed to Wu Sangui's large array, and some of them rushed to Bai Guangen's military formation. There were even some people who fled far away to Hong Chengchou's Chinese army array, only begging the Tartar soldiers not to notice them.
And those Qing cavalry, chasing and killing in teams, constantly drove from behind, as long as they escaped a little slowly, they were poked to death by the pursuers on the field. They also blended in with the people, constantly slashing and shooting arrows at the slightly neat cavalry in front, accelerating the confusion between the people and the sergeants.
"Rubbish!"
And in Wu Sangui's military formation, he could see the situation in Jizhen clearly.
Wu Sangui was stunned at first, but then his face turned pale, and in just one round, several of Bai Guangen's car battalions were defeated? How long has it been? A pillar of incense time.
At this time, the cavalry of the Eight Banners of Manchuria with blue flags and blue flags, as well as part of the Eight Banners Mongolian army, also attacked Wu Sangui's army formation.
Due to the strict orders of the Wu army and the close cooperation of the various car battalions, although there were many losses under the onslaught of the Qing cavalry, they also made quite a lot of gains. Those Qing cavalry can't, so they have to circle around the car camp, Wu Sangui sent cavalry to attack from time to time, the two sides are evenly matched, and after the battle, a great credit is indispensable.
Unexpectedly, the situation turned down, Bai Guangen was defeated, his left flank was naked under the iron cavalry of the Qing army, and many defeated soldiers and civilians rushed to his own army formation.
A hint of coldness flashed in Wu Sangui's eyes, he looked at Bai Guangen's handsome flag in the distance, and muttered: "Bai Shuai, you ask for more blessings, I don't care about it now!" ”
If Bai Guangen's army is in a tight formation, Wu Sangui will naturally send reinforcements to support each other. However, now that the Ji army is in turmoil, it is convenient to send reinforcements, but it will not help, and maybe it will be dispersed by the rebels.
Moreover, Bai Guangen's formation is broken, and the Qing soldiers on both wings can gather heavy troops to attack themselves left and right, and if they divide their troops out, their own military formation will be dangerous.
The only way is to wait for reinforcements from the Chinese army.
He shouted: "Pass my general order, the soldiers will hold the formation, if the soldiers and civilians dare to rush the army, they will be killed!" (To be continued.)
