In the morning light, Li Laiheng led the remnants of the defeated army out of the damp jungle.
In front was the large battalion, and behind were the pursuers.
Now he is safe, but he still hasn't figured out how the Qing soldiers broke through the blockade of the Ming army in Jiangnan and came to Jingzhou Mansion. In particular, when he considers the general as an object to rely on, he will pay more attention to this person
Not only did he not understand, but all the people in Jingzhou City were confused. Liu Suifeng did not get the report of the secret camp, and in the face of the question of blocking Yinxi, he could only play Tai Chi, so he was Xuanxuan. 、
Li Laiheng was still speculating, and a voice came from beside him.
"Little General, the Great Commander is here"
The soldier pointed to the flag in the distance and gestured to him. Li Guo urged a yellow horse to gallop like a whirlwind, half of his figure was immersed in the morning sun, and half of his body was hidden in the shadows.
Li Laiheng walked a few steps quickly to meet him.
The two teams gradually approached, and Li Laiheng took the reins of the yellow horse in front of him and said, "Dad"
"Why don't you report to me" Li Guo's tone was not good, and his face was full of relief
Li Laiheng smirked and said, "Dad, I think that after the withdrawal of troops, the messenger may not be as fast as me."
They are not biological fathers and sons, more than biological fathers and sons.
Li Laiheng continued: "The Qing soldiers are coming soon, there are Mongols and Jurchens"
"Let's talk about it later"
Two columns of men and horses joined forces and returned to the camp of the loyal battalion. Gu Yinxi and Liu Suifeng greeted them at the gate of the camp, they did not pay attention to Li Laiheng, but wanted to understand the situation of the Qing prisoner as soon as possible. There is also ......, the elimination of the Ming army in Jiangnan
The result was very disappointing to them, including Li Laiheng, no one in Jingzhou knew where the Ming army in Jiangnan had gone.
"Could it be that the general really wants the Qing captives and the Huguang Ming army to fight under the city of Jingzhou?"
Including Liu Suifeng, there is this question. This is not a stupid idea, but Liu Suifeng is worried that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Zhongzhen Battalion and the Huguang Battalion will be defeated under the city of Jingzhou.
Two large battalions, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, have no intention of fighting.
At noon, when the sun is at its strongest, the banner of Qingyu appears on the horizon.
The Ming army, who was watching, suddenly felt that his breathing became short.
He Tengjiao and Zhang Kuang stood in the Chinese military barracks and looked out, ignoring the scorching sun.
"You say, which camp will the Qing Lu attack first?" He Tengjiao looked very relaxed, but he was actually very bottomless in his heart. He is also a veteran of court battles, and knows that some people's words cannot be trusted.
"It must be Xiying" Zhang Kuang is very confident.
The west camp is the loyal camp, the east camp is the Huguang camp, the two big camps are like two gates in front of Jingzhou City, if Le Ke Dehun wants to enter the Jingzhou camp, he must break the defense of the Ming army.
"I think so" He Tengjiao laughed very weirdly and far-fetched.
No one thought that He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang in the Ming Dynasty, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of Huguang in the Qing court, would have a relationship in private. He Tengjiao didn't think that he was betraying the Ming Dynasty, he just wanted to use the hands of Qing Lu to avenge the first emperor. Although Emperor Longwu issued an edict to join forces to resist the captives. However, can a former thief be considered an officer and soldier?
"Your Excellency can take advantage of the defeat of the Loyal Battalion by sending troops to clean up the mess. At that time, the Qing Dynasty will inevitably lose a lot, and the adults will make a move, and Jingzhou can go down" Zhang Kuang, a military advisor, has a lot of ideas.
"This is a good plan" He Tengjiao applauded, as if he had seen the good situation described by Zhang Kuang, and naturally smiled.
The Qing soldiers were getting closer and closer to the Ming army camp. In the front were the cavalry, followed by a neat line of footmen. The closer it is, the slower it is.
The atmosphere before the war was suffocating, and the people in the trees forgot to chirp.
Luckedhun doesn't seem to have made up his mind yet.
In the loyalty camp, Li Laiheng had no intention of resting, and immediately returned to Li Guo's side after settling the wounded soldiers.
In the distance, a small line of cavalry like ants moved forward in parallel. Flags waved, and foot soldiers marched forward beating iron shields.
"They're coming towards us," Li Guo's face changed slightly.
"Then let them come," Li Laiheng took off his long knife. He had been afraid many times, and yesterday's resistance battle had given him back his confidence, and he was no longer as terrible as before.
From ten miles away, to hundreds of steps.
Iron riding is like a hurricane.
The sprinting cavalry ranks were like a tidal wave, and the queues were about a hundred paces apart.
At the front were the Mongol cavalry, with the Jurchen cavalry following last. It's not that Lucked wants to keep the strength of the Jurchens, and when the battle is fought to this extent, any bit of selfishness may cause a rout on the whole front.
Although the Jurchens were good at riding, the Jurchens were more accustomed to dismounting and fighting on foot.
Only the Mongols are a people on horseback.
Feathered arrows, scimitars.
Li Laiheng saw the true power of the Mongol cavalry. Yesterday, it was nothing more than a small game played by the cavalry of the forward battalion with them while they waited for the brigade.
The wave of cavalry was like a sliding log from top to bottom, and the first column of cavalry met the soldiers on the periphery of the loyal battalion, and after only a few moments of engagement, the second column of cavalry squeezed upward, pushing the battle line to retreat in the direction of the loyal battalion.
Third column, fourth column......
The slightly gathered line of defense was scattered by feathered arrows.
There are nearly 80,000 people in the loyal battalion, and they want to prevent the Qing captives from rescuing Jingzhou City. Therefore, it is impossible to choose a place with a difficult terrain to set up a camp like Li Laiheng did yesterday.
The commander of the battalion was concerned with the battle on the periphery.
Li Guo saw with his own eyes that the defensive line he had arranged on the periphery was vulnerable to the charge of the Qing Dynasty's forward cavalry.
Li Laiheng mustered up the courage to admonish: "Dad, shrink the defense line and resist the horse"
His words are very useful, and Lao Tzu obeys his son's words. "Shrink the defensive line and immediately resist the horses" herald to convey the order to the battalions. Li Guo gave up the idea of competing with the Qing Dynasty in the field.
In the distance, Lekdehun witnessed the retreat of the loyal battalion and conveyed the order: "Chase and fight fiercely, and attack the loyal battalion with all your might"
There was not much time left for him, the Ming army in Jiangnan could catch up at any time, and if he could not defeat the Ming army under Jingzhou City, he would probably fall into a three-sided encirclement.
The cavalry drove away, and the foot soldiers advanced.
When all the soldiers of the loyal battalion returned to the barracks, the Qinglu infantry marched to the front of the camp.
Last year, under the city of Jingzhou, the Qing soldiers relied on a sneak attack and defeated 100,000 loyal battalions.
The Jurchen dead reappear on the battlefield.
After entering the customs, the former dead soldiers have robbed a large amount of land, and people have more money, so it is inevitable that they will be a little more afraid of death than before. But when it comes to the battlefield, they are still as terrible as ever.
The Qing soldiers used the thick-armored dead soldiers as arrows and swept into the loyalty camp.
They are both very brave, and the difference between them is that whoever has the best and better equipment will make more profits. The Loyal Battalion has always been poor, and it would be nice to have all the weapons, let alone the soft blankets.
Half an hour later, the front camp of the Loyal Battalion was littered with corpses.
Dongying.
The messenger galloped in, straight into the Chinese army.
"Your Excellency the Governor of Qiqi, Lord Blocking ordered me to ask for help, please attack to contain the Qing soldiers."
"Ah, I see that the loyalty camp copes with it very well, and the Qing prisoners are completely helpless" He Tengjiao raised his mustache. The Loyal Battalion didn't collapse so quickly.
The battle began in the early afternoon and ended at dark. This is how the soldiers set up simple tents. This place is not a place to stay, but fortunately, the scouts told me that the Ming army of Yuezhou Mansion had only left Qianyang, and it would take two days to reach Huguang.
It was dark, and there was the sound of rushing water in the river. Twenty medium-sized warships were hurrying.
