Chapter 260: A God-given Opportunity
In the county seat of Zuoyun County, Dolgon, who was in yellow armor, was sitting in the lobby of the garrison mansion, listening to his subordinates report on the looting and harvesting in Zuoyun County.
After it was over, the deputy general Wu Muqi directly said with a face full of expectation: "Lord Belle, the warriors have been fighting for two days in a row....otherwise, we will rest for a day in this Zuoyun County... We've looted so much in the surrounding towns, it's time for the warriors to relax..."
"No," Dorgon refused without hesitation.
Subsequently, under the gaze of the adjutant general full of puzzlement, he replied: "Even if you want to relax, you must relax in the camp outside the city....how powerful the Haw Par Army is, you don't know....If the Haw Par Army surrounds us in the county town, do you think that with the 5,000 cavalry in our hands, we can block the attack of the Haw Par Army musketeers in the positional battle." ”
Adjutant General Wu Muqi shook his head, then nodded, and continued to ask Dorgon: "But, Lord Belle....in addition to the five thousand cavalry, don't we have five thousand musketeers......the minions don't believe it, they are all musketeers, and our five thousand men can't stop the attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army.7..."
At this time, a sigh full of helplessness suddenly came out of Dolgon's mouth.
After taking a deep breath, he replied in a low tone, "We do have five thousand musketeers in our hands... However, we don't have artillery....and our opponent Haw Par Army does, do you think that if the Haw Par Army has artillery to participate in the battle, our 5,000 musketeers will be the opponent..."
"If the musketeers can really fight against the Haw Par Army under the fire of the Haw Par Army, I will not let the 5,000 cavalry guard them during the two-day attack. Protect and supervise their ......"
Adjutant General Wu Muqi's heart accepted this fact. But. On his mouth, he still asked reluctantly: "Lord Belle, is it possible that we attacked this time just to grab some things in the territory of Daming, and not to seek revenge from the Tiger and Par Army..."
"Of course this revenge will be avenged..."At this point, a hint of murder quickly appeared on Dolgon's face.
Under the expectant gaze of the deputy general, he reported loudly: "The reason why I want to make such a big disturbance in Zuoyun is to wantonly kill people and prevent fire. It's just to lure the Haw Par Army over. Then, on the field battlefield, find a way to eat it by one or two troops......"
Speaking of this, Dolgon seemed to think of something, and reminded loudly: "Revenge is revenge, there is one thing we must remember....no matter what the next battle situation is, we must grasp the initiative on the battlefield and choose the battlefield by ourselves....otherwise, once we collide with the predetermined battlefield of the Haw Par Army, the result that awaits us will be bloodied." ”
The deputy general Wu Muqi replied with a cautious face: "Please rest assured that Lord Belle has lost those battles that we ate in Zunhua at the beginning." The minions remember it clearly, and it is absolutely impossible to make the same mistake again......"
Just after Eumqi's words were finished. The sound of hurried footsteps reached the ears of the two of them.
Then, Niu Lu Zhangjing, who was dressed in iron armor, walked in. The very skillful kneeling on one leg, after giving Dolgon a military salute, he reported loudly: "Lord Belle, the servant is ordered to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and there is something important to report......"
"The defense line of Datong Mansion, the Han cavalry that has always been 5,000 people, is rapidly marching towards Zuoyun, where our army is located, please prepare as soon as possible..."
"Besides, there's one more thing the minion doesn't know whether to say..."
"Speak..."Dolgon, who didn't expect the Haw Par Army to be dispatched so quickly, frowned, and ordered loudly.
Niu Lu Zhangjing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Lord Belle, after the personal reconnaissance of the minions, the five thousand cavalry dispatched by the Tiger and Par Army are all equipped with iron armor and muskets....... not only that, these iron armors are the armor inlaid with yellow flags and our white flags captured by the Haw Par Army in Zunhua, if the minions are not mistaken, the Haw Par Army must want to use this to hit the morale of our army..."
After Niu Lu Zhangjing's report was finished, Dolgon did not give an order immediately, but quietly fell into deep thought...
Under the worried gaze of the deputy general and Niu Lu Zhangjing, a fine light suddenly shot out from Dolgon's dim eyes. Then, Dolgon's frown furrowed.
The adjutant general's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked Dolgon, "Lord Belle, do you already have a way..."
Dolgon waved his hand, signaling the lieutenant general Umuqi to calm down.
Directly shifted his gaze to Niu Lu Zhangjing, who was still kneeling on one leg in front of him, and asked loudly.
"Are you sure you have a clear reconnaissance....The Haw Par Army only dispatched 5,000 cavalry, and did not touch any musketeers or artillery...."
Niu Lu Zhangjing nodded and affirmed loudly: "Yes, Lord Belle... Slaves can be sure..."
"Not only that, but dozens of warriors under the command of the minions are still sticking around Datong Mansion... If the Haw Par Army sends out infantry, these warriors will definitely come back and report to the minions as soon as possible..."
"Very good...... "By this time, Dolgon's face had completely relaxed.
Then, in a self-infested manner, he said, "This guard is too arrogant....although our cavalry is afraid of his musketeers and artillery, they are not afraid of his cavalry... When it comes to cavalry tactics, our Houjin cavalry is called second, and absolutely no one dares to call it first. ”
"What a gods-sent opportunity to give me Dolgon's vengeance..."
"Since the Tiger and Leopard Army has become bold enough to independently send cavalry to participate in the battle, then we will use the heads of these 5,000 cavalry to tell the Tiger and Leopard Army, the blade of our Houjin cavalry is still invincible......"
At this time, the adjutant general's eyes had already shot out two scorching gazes, and he shouted at Dolgon: "Lord Belle, the slave asks for his life... Lead the 5,000 cavalry under his command, take the initiative to attack, and eat this cavalry unit sent by the Tiger and Par Army..."
Seeing that Dolgon didn't answer immediately, the anxious deputy continued: "You just said that to deal with the Tiger and Par Army, we must grasp the initiative on the battlefield. And to take the initiative to attack, formally grasp the initiative on the battlefield, and choose the best way to choose the battlefield by ourselves. ”
"If you don't take the initiative to attack now, and wait for the 5,000 cavalry of the Tiger and Par Army to come here, then there will be a lot of changes in the next occupation... Therefore, please allow the minions to lead the 5,000 cavalry under his command to take them by surprise and destroy them on the way to reinforcements from the Tiger and Leopard Army......."
At this time, Dorgon finally nodded and replied in a firm tone.
"Very well....if you can remember what I just explained, it means that you have a clear understanding of the advantages and disadvantages between friend and foe... Next, we are going to use our cavalry advantage to collide with the cavalry disadvantage of the Tiger and Leopard Army......" (to be continued......
