Chapter 637: Red clouds cover the city with thunder
The red dragon approached quickly, and when it got close to a few miles, it was already clear that it was a large force of cavalry moving forward, and the roar of horses' hooves on the ground was clearly audible even in this noisy battlefield. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The next step is whose cavalry, it is said that this large force of cavalry can only be the Qing army, but who does not know that the main force of the Qing army is besieging Jinan on three sides, then it is the Ming army.
Dolgon had two choices at this time, one was to immediately lead 7,000 Jurchen cavalry armor to the east to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, and the other was to immediately line up to block the enemy army, and let the besieging Han Eight Banners withdraw and reorganize to deal with this enemy together.
The Jurchen Eight Banners didn't go into battle for a day, they just went up in batches to shoot arrows and hurt the enemy to assist, although they were a little tired, but there was no problem in killing the enemy.
Just as Dolgon's heart was moving, two reasons stopped him.
There were more and more fires in the east, as if they were endless, and this firelight seemed to burn the sky, rushing to his face with a fearless momentum, and now he saw how he had to have more than 10,000 cavalry to come, and then the earth-shattering shouts came, letting him know who his opponent was.
The roar of the Broken Army of Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng, and Wan Sheng shook the four fields, indicating the identity of this huge cavalry, and Zhao Lie's broken army, which brought countless nightmares to the Qing Dynasty, was the old enemy that made the Qing Dynasty suffer a lot.
Dolgon's eyes shrank, and his heart trembled, it was the broken army of Zhao Lie, the sworn enemy.
He immediately ordered all the cavalry to face the enemy, and at the same time ordered Shang Kexi in the back to immediately withdraw from the Han Eight Banners besieging the city.
At this time, if it is Duoduo, maybe you can lead the army to attack, then the goods are a bastard, no matter what kind of captives you have, let's talk about it.
But Dolgon didn't have any idea at all, because the more than 10,000 cavalry on the opposite side was a powerful broken army, you can scold Zhao Lie, you can be extremely disdainful, but everyone in the upper echelons of the Qing Dynasty is extremely jealous of Zhao Lie and the broken army under his command, this is a recognized mortal enemy, he doesn't think that his more than 7,000 armored soldiers can defeat more than 10,000 Zhao Lie's cavalry, but someone has tried before, and his head has already been cut off by Zhao Lie.
In his opinion, gathering the main forces of Beicheng and Xicheng, the Qing army of more than 70,000 will definitely defeat Zhao Lie's broken army, because Zhao Lie dared to lead the troops to Jinan Field Battle, but there is no strong city here to protect the broken army, it can be said that it is a good opportunity to win a decisive battle with the broken army.
At this time, Dorgon sent a fast horse to report to the north and west city, so that the two masters could lead the army to the east city as soon as possible, and discuss the plan of this battle together.
Nan Yong rode on his horse and followed the cavalry to Jinan City, a few miles away, and at this time he was a little apprehensive in his heart, because he knew in his heart that there were only 7,000 cavalry troops of the Broken Captives here.
When Etuhun, who came back from the investigation, reported to Huang Han of the rear team that Jinan City was in danger, Huang Han and Nan Yong were extremely anxious.
In any case, there are more than 200,000 Ming people in Jinan City, and if the Jiannu Beast Army breaks the city, then it will be a massacre.
If the broken army can't catch up, it's just that, now it's more than 20 miles, it's really not too far, but what to do is a problem, the front plus the new thousand corps and the Shidao battalion are only 7,000 cavalry, and there are 70,000 or 80,000 Qing troops near Jinan City.
The Iron Mountain Battalion and the Iron Fist Battalion in the back are five miles away, and now what to do with these 7,000 people is suddenly ahead.
Huang Han looked at the evening sky, thought about it, gritted his teeth and made a decision, he sent a fast horse to immediately pass through the battalions in the rear, and immediately rushed to the west to meet the Shidao battalion.
He ordered the soldiers of the Shidao battalion to prepare more torches immediately, and used the night and torches to disguise the thousands of soldiers of the Shidao battalion as more than 10,000 cavalry to intimidate and stop Jiannu's siege, which was the only way he came up with in a short time.
Torches are a necessary item for night marching and camping, but there are really not so many in the army, that is, less than a thousand, what to do if it is not enough, Huang Han immediately ordered to use a riding gun to sit on the pole, and use a blanket to pour fire oil as a torch head, so a large number of simple torches were quickly made by the soldiers.
So the Shidao battalion immediately urged the horse forward, at this time Huang Han also had to lead the army forward, but was stopped by Nan Yong and ordered the soldiers to guard him in the rear army, joking, this commander-in-chief of the Broken Army Infantry Army is the right-hand man of Lord Zhao, not for the purpose of charging into battle.
So Nan Yong led the Shidao battalion in front of him, and the fast horse marched westward.
At this time, it was dark for two miles ahead, but the place near Jinan City was brightly lit, and a large number of Qing troops could be clearly seen lined up there.
And the shadows on the city are full of people, Nan Yong judged that they came in time and did not let Jinan City fall into the hands of Jiannu.
Nan Yong's ears were full of the loud sound of victory and the roar of the horse's hooves on the ground at this time, and his body rose and fell with the war horse, running towards the noisy light in front of him.
Yan Jizu was very unlucky, it can also be said that he was unlucky, he didn't go out of the city for half a mile and was injured, well, that's right, Yan Jizu, the governor of Daming Shandong, was injured.
The reason is very simple, the news that Jiannu is about to break the city has caused chaos in the city, and the robbery, murder, and people who are running away have caused chaos in the entire Jinan City.
When Yan Jizu walked to a crossroads with more than ten people, the crowd running around engulfed them, and when the crowd ran indiscriminately, and the servants and guards helped Yan Jizu up, the governor's foot was sprained, and his body was trampled on a few times, and the governor couldn't walk at this time.
The servants and guards had no choice but to carry him on their backs, but the streets were so chaotic that the end was falling that there was no way to go fast, and they had only walked a few hundred steps in the time of their meal.
At this time, Yan Jizu was in a hurry, after all, he didn't want his family to fall into the hands of Jiannu, what did he do when he rushed back, it was all over the house, if he delayed letting Jiannu enter the city and enter his mansion, he couldn't think about that situation, if there was something ugly about the female dependents in the family, he would have no face to meet the ancestors and ancestors even if he went underground.
But at this time, there was nothing he could do, the congestion and chaos on the streets had no way to move forward quickly, and his identity as the governor was useless, and his guards shouted a few times, but no one paid attention to them, and no one gave way.
The people are usually afraid of the officials and respect the officials, that is, they are afraid of the power and status in their hands, which can determine the existence of the life and death of the villain in an instant, but at this time, you are a governor and no one cares.
Just when the governor was trapped here and at a loss, suddenly someone shouted behind him, reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming.
Someone on the street immediately scolded, it's all at this time, is there still anyone talking nonsense, what reinforcements, there are reinforcements that have come a long time ago, why did Jinan fall to the point of breaking the city.
However, suddenly the roars of many people on the city wall came, and then there was a faint roar outside the city, although I couldn't hear it clearly, but I could still roughly hear what many people were shouting in Chinese.
In the end, the voice was a lot louder, and this time I finally heard it clearly, it was many people shouting the voice of Wansheng, it was Wansheng, who could shout, it must not be Jiannu.
The people on the street were excited and unbelievably standing and listening, at this time the strange crows on the street were silent, everyone was listening, and finally many rough voices accompanied by the roar of horses' hooves came, and the army was victorious.
Zhao Lie, it is Zhao Lie's Denglai army, Yan Jizu lay on the domestic servant and shouted, Yan Jizu shed two lines of old tears, at this time he completely forgot that he didn't know how many times he had scolded this rebellion.
Suddenly someone on the street shouted the victory of the broken army, and then the people in the whole street shouted, and their shouts spread to other streets, and the people of other streets also shouted loudly in response, and finally the people of the whole city shouted loudly to break the army of Wansheng, which can be described as a sonic shock to the whole city, and the people of Jinan will be grateful to the broken army and the hope of defeating the Jiannu from the city far away.
At this time, the savior Shidao Battalion that the people and soldiers in Jinan City thought was not so easy, and at this time, the Shidao Battalion was still two miles away from Dolgon's big array.
More than 10,000 torches illuminated the military formation of the Broken Capture Army very brightly, and countless black and red Broken Prisoner Army's all-armored iron cavalry revealed their true faces.
What Nan Yong hoped at this time was to intimidate the opponent and not start the battle first, because the dark night was extremely unfavorable to the cavalry of the Broken Army, which emphasized formation, and it was a luxury to maintain a formation in the dark night, and the Jiannu cavalry was skilled in horsemanship, and it was more like a fish in water in the dark night.
Nan Yong estimated that the opponent was also intimidated by the might of the Shidao battalion, and he would not make a move for the time being, but if there were enemy reinforcements coming again, it would be difficult to say, and he silently thought in his heart that the soldiers of the subsequent battalions would arrive sooner.
Unfortunately, it backfired, the reinforcements of the Broken Army did not arrive, and the corners of the north of the city were full of cries, smoke and dust, and dense torches lit up the night sky.
Countless Han Eight Banners, Mongolian light cavalry and Eight Banner armor soldiers appeared like sneaky under the light of torches, Azig in the north of the city heard that the broken army appeared in Dongcheng and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army, he took the lead to lead more than 8,000 Jurchen iron cavalry who did not participate in the siege, more than 20,000 Mongolian light cavalry, 5,000 Mongolian Eight Banners and more than 5,000 Han Eight Banners drove directly to Dongcheng.
The army of the northern city turned the corner and rushed towards the eastern city, this team meandered for several miles, and the shadow of reinforcements continued to appear from the corner.
At this time, Dolgon had already begun to calculate how to launch a counterattack after the army gathered, and there were only more than 10,000 cavalry on the opposite side, which was far from the opponent of the Qing army, even if the opponent was Zhao Lie's broken army.
He thinks that the more than 10,000 cavalry will never be the whole of Zhao Lie's army, it may be a part, he doesn't think that Zhao Lie is so brainless, just lead more than 10,000 cavalry to aid Jinan City and fight against tens of thousands of Qing iron cavalry.
If this opportunity is to defeat the more than 10,000 cavalry, it will definitely greatly damage Zhao Lie's strength, and he will be divided and attacked.
At this time, Huang Han had already met with Nan Yong, and now Nan Yong led his troops to destroy Jiannu's offensive had been successful, but in the face of the pressure of the opponent's tens of thousands of troops, it was now a question of whether to fight or to peace.
"Nan Yong left a thousand troops to block the attack, and the other soldiers were ready to retreat."
Huang Han immediately made a decision.
In the face of several times his own Jiannu Iron Cavalry, in the night decisive battle, that is to find death.
Nan Yong also has a headache at this time, which one to leave, the possibility of the left thousand teams going back alive is almost nothing, it is simply that which one is left is to determine who will die, and you can't leave the new thousand team, because this team is very useful.
Nan Yong gritted his teeth and was about to shout the name of the thousand corps, when the horses' hooves rumbling in the east roared, and a large stream of fire drifted in the distance like a canopy, and reinforcements from the Broken Army came. (To be continued.) )
