The small Yixun River, which is usually inconspicuous, is like an angry ocean when it comes to the flood season.

On the West Bank, the shouts of killing shook the sky, which further fueled this prestige.

More than 10,000 white-flaged cavalry of Zilharang were violently attacked by 30,000 black-armored elite cavalry, quickly overwhelming their defensive formation. At the same time, the 70,000 Liaodong Army encircled from the west then quickly divided and annihilated the chaotic Qing army.

On the east bank, Huang Taiji and his party, who had just escaped the baptism of the flood, watched the cruel fighting on the west bank, and Huang Taiji's eyes cracked sharply.

"Your Majesty, hurry up! The flood has overflowed! ”

As he spoke, the aftermath of the flood had already spread, and soon it was past the horse's legs.

Huang Taiji let out a long sigh, remembering this entrance battle, first folded Daishan, then folded the Mongol allies, and just folded the Zhengbai flag of Jierharang, he was really speechless for Deng Haonan's tactics of encroaching on and gradually weakening his troops.

Turn around and look at all the soldiers, one by one, they are like chickens in the soup, throwing away their armor, and even many people even lost their weapons when they fled for their lives.

Now there are only more than 50,000 people, and it seems that they have to give up Shenyang and return to the grassland to live a nomadic life.

When he really woke up and returned to before the liberation, Huang Taiji wanted to cry without tears, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

Huang Taiji gritted his teeth, and it took a long time to spit out three words.

"Let's go!"

Huang Taiji's army marched all the way east, and a day later reached the west bank of the Kuan River.

"I won't come again!"

There is a way to be bitten by a snake for three years and afraid of the well rope, many Qing soldiers looked at the wide river and couldn't help but tremble.

"Probably not!"

"The black-armored elite cavalry of the Ming army has been blocked by the Yixun River, and they will not catch up with us at all!"

"Be careful!"

Huang Taiji then ordered the sentry to search far upstream to see if there were any enemy tricks.

Huang Taiji couldn't stop here, and sent people to build bridges to cross the river, and at the same time received constant reports from the sentinels.

"Investigate further!"

Huang Taiji ordered the sentry cavalry to explore fifty miles away, and sixty miles away from the upper reaches of the Kuanhe River, Zu Dashou led 20,000 Guanning iron cavalry to guard the dam.

"Report to the general, the Qing army sentry has arrived fifty miles away!"

"Come here and shoot them!"

Zu Dashou had already learned that Zhan Zengyong had flooded Huang Taiji in the Yixun River, so it was likely that Huang Taiji would find that there were also dams in the upper reaches of the Kuanhe River. Zu Dashou was already prepared for this, and once he was discovered, he had to break the embankment first.

At this time, the deputy general once again received Zhan Zengyong's flying pigeon message.

"Where is the main force?"

"General Qiqi!" The adjutant general replied: "General Zhan is leading the main force to make a detour from the upstream!" ”

Zu Dashou frowned and said, "Why don't you just build a raft to cross the river?" It's an extra two days to get back from upstream! ”

The adjutant general said: "General Zhan does not plan to join the general here, but directly to the next ambush point and annihilate the remnants of Emperor Taiji in the Qi River." General Zhan informed the general that he only needed to block Huang Taiji from crossing the Kuanhe River one day later! ”

Zu Dashou thought about it, nodded, and said, "That's right!" If the main force of our army can't come in time, then it will be impossible to completely annihilate Emperor Taiji here, and it is a good idea to transfer the main battlefield to Qihe! ”

Then he ordered: "Give the order to go down, immediately break the embankment, and release water to flood the enemy!" ”

As Zu Dashou ordered the levee to burst, the trapped flood water roared and rolled down like a tiger out of the gate.

The Qing army's sentry cavalry was rushing towards this side, and suddenly saw the flood rushing down, and was about to turn around and report, and then was shot and killed by the Ming army's hidden archers.

Zu Dashou made a decision immediately, and sent a message to Zhao Shujiao, who was ambushed on the left wing of Dushan, while flying pigeons, informing him to send troops to respond, and at the same time be careful of floods. On the one hand, he personally led the team and led 20,000 Guanning iron cavalry to rush south with the flood, and directly killed the Huang Taiji camp.

Huang Taiji was very careful, and while preparing to cross the river, he arranged 20,000 cavalry in the north to prevent a sudden attack by the Ming army.

The sentinels sent to investigate fifty miles away did not return within the scheduled time, and Huang Taiji suddenly felt the danger and strictly ordered the whole army to be on guard.

When the flood water rolled down, Huang Taiji immediately made a decision and led the whole army to avoid the dangerous place by the river.

At this time, Zu Dashou's 20,000 Guanning iron cavalry rushed to kill, and Huang Taiji ordered the whole army to form a formation to meet the enemy.

Zu Dashou reined in his horse and stopped the attack of the army.

He knew that his subordinates were not enough to inflict heavy damage on Huang Taiji, but the enemy formed a formation, and he was obviously prepared. If he hadn't known that Zhan Zengyong's army was rushing to the next ambush site, no matter how strong the enemy was, he would have tried.

At present, Zu Dashou's main purpose is to delay the time for Huang Taiji to cross the river.

The two sides were five miles apart, and neither dared to act rashly.

Huang Taiji saw that another 20,000 Ming troops appeared, and when he saw the other party's banner, it turned out to be the Guanning Iron Cavalry who was still Zu Dashou, and he was immediately angry.

"This Deng Haonan doesn't seem to plan to let him return to Shenyang in a hurry, and has set up a lot of ambushes!"

Huang Taiji thought secretly in his heart, and at this time Fan Wencheng said: "Your Majesty, the flood is blocking the way, and Zu Dashou is coming to entangle again, I am afraid that it is to buy time for the black armor elite rider who is crossing the Yixun River!" ”

Huang Taiji nodded and said, "That's right! They are just stalling for time, otherwise they wouldn't have come to die with only 20,000! ”

Fan Wencheng said: "This cavalry should not be underestimated, Zu Dashou is a Liao person, when Yuan Chonghuan lived in western Liao, this person led the Guanning Iron Cavalry to fight with our army many times, and has a certain experience!" ”

Huang Taiji said: "At present, our army only has more than 50,000 people, and the strength is already insufficient. ”

"Don't filter, Your Majesty!" Amin said: "I will lead the people of the headquarters to defeat Zu Dashou first, and the emperor can take the Chinese army to cross the river quickly!" ”

Fan Wencheng said: "Amin Belle is brave, the 10,000 horses in the headquarters are enough to defeat the ancestral life, and the emperor will cross the river immediately!" ”

Huang Taiji nodded and ordered people to immediately widen the pontoon bridge and prepare to cross the river, while Amin transferred troops to battle.

Amin led 10,000 cavalry with white flags into battle, and Zu Dashou ordered the whole army to charge. After several rounds of fierce fighting between the cavalry on the banks of the Kuan River, Zu Dashou realized that his 20,000 Guanning iron cavalry could not inflict heavy damage on Amin, so he turned around and retreated.

Amin originally thought that he could easily defeat the 20,000 Guan Ning Iron Cavalry of Zu Dashou, but unexpectedly, the morale of the other party was high, and the weapons and equipment were much more advanced than before, and his troops did not take much advantage in the battle.

On the contrary, after Amin and Zu Dashou fought for a few rounds, his saber was actually cut into jagged teeth by Zu Dashou's saber, which made him immediately annoyed. At the same time, the sabers of his subordinates did not please him, and after the battle with the Guanning Iron Cavalry, many weapons were curled, and even cut off by the other party in two sections, becoming kitchen knives.

Although in several rounds of fighting, the Guanning Iron Cavalry suffered more casualties, but the opponent had many people and could withstand attrition. On the contrary, Amin's soldiers with white flags, because of the inferior quality of their weapons, expect them to fight the enemy again with curly blades and broken weapons, and obviously suffer losses.

Seeing Zu Dashou's army retreating, Amin immediately ordered the whole army to pursue.

At this time, Huang Taiji, who was watching the battle in the rear, suddenly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and did not allow Amin to pursue.

Maybe he was worried that this was Deng Haonan's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, or it was a plan to lure the enemy into an ambush, in short, Huang Taiji was very afraid and worried.

He didn't have much leverage left, so he didn't dare to take any more risks.

At this time, there was a sudden shouting of killing in the direction of Dushan in the south, and Zhao led 20,000 Guanning iron cavalry to kill the Huang Taiji rear army. The Qing army was already like a frightened bird, which could have easily resisted the impact of the Ming army, but at this time, it tore a hole in the Ming army.

Huang Taiji was shocked, and hurriedly transferred troops to resist, and only after killing for more than an hour did he repel Zhao Led the sect.

In the big tent, Huang Taiji's face was pale, and after a battle, in the face of the inconspicuous Guanning Iron Cavalry, the Eight Banners of the Qing Army, which was known for its invincible cavalry battles, suffered thousands of casualties!

"Your Majesty!" Fan Wencheng's face was full of color, and he said worriedly: "At the moment, it can be seen that our army's morale is unstable, and a series of defeats have shaken the morale of the army. Now the soldiers are like frightened birds, their combat effectiveness has dropped sharply, and they must cross the river quickly! ”

Abatai shouted, "What Master Fan said is right! The fact that a mere junior Zhao led the sect was able to inflict such a large casualty on our army shows that the army's morale is unstable, and the soldiers have begun to fear the Ming army! ”

Huang Taiji's expression tightened, and through Guò Abatai's words, he not only knew that the soldiers were already afraid of the Ming Army, but even the core banner master like Abatai was also afraid, which was what Huang Taiji was most worried about.

"It's just that now there are two cavalry armies in the north and south of the Liaodong Army to contain our army, and the flood is flooding, and it takes time to build a pontoon bridge or build a raft to pass over. Besides, the Liaodong Army comes to harass our army all the time, and it may not be easy to cross the river! ”

Fan Wencheng said: "It's better for our army to evacuate overnight!" ”

Huang Taiji said: "It is good to retreat at night, but if the enemy army comes to peep at the camp, what should our army do, you must know that the enemy attacks halfway through, which is very unfavorable to our army!" ”

Fan Wencheng thought for a while and said, "There is a way!" Our army deliberately made the illusion of retreating and crossing the river, the enemy army is bound to come to peep at the camp, our army is to catch them by surprise, if it is good to completely annihilate the other party, otherwise it is not bad even if the enemy is severely damaged! ”

Huang Taiji nodded and said happily: "Not bad!" That's a good plan! After inflicting heavy losses on the enemy, it is expected that they will not bother us again tonight, and it just so happens that our army has crossed the river overnight! ”

"The emperor is wise!"

Abatai and the others were overjoyed, so after discussing and studying the details, they deployed combat operations one after another.

On the afternoon of this day, Zu Dashou and Zhao Shujiao challenged harassment several times in succession, delaying the time for the Qing army to build a bridge and make a raft.

The two sides suffered casualties in the battle, but because neither side intended to fight each other to the death and deliberately avoided a decisive battle, the casualties were not large.

At night, Huang Taiji secretly crossed the river, and the news soon spread to Zu Dashou and Zhao Shujiao.

Zhao Shujiao could calm down, but Zu Dashou couldn't calm down, and ordered his cavalry to wrap the horse's hooves in thick cloth, bring the fire, and prepare to attack the camp at night. However, Zu Dashou was not brutal, and he still sent someone to contact the Zhao Shujiao Department and asked Zhao Shujiao to send troops to respond.

When Zhao Shujiao heard that Zu Dashou sent troops, he was immediately shocked, he knew that Huang Taiji was by no means an easy person, and he was afraid that Zu Dashou would fall for Huang Taiji's tricks, so he led his troops to respond.

Zu Dashou led the Guanning Iron Cavalry to arrive outside the camp of the Qing army, and saw that the Qing army's defense was loose, so he ordered his subordinates to attack it with rockets, and then led the army to rush in.

However, just as Zu Dashou led his troops to rush in, he saw that the tent of the Qing army camp was empty, and there was not a single soldier in sight.

"Don't be fooled!" Zu Dashou immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly shouted to retreat.

However, it was too late, and Huang Taiji had already mobilized heavy troops to surround the camp.

Suddenly, shouts of killing rang out, and Zu Dashou's department was surrounded and fought hard.

However, the 20,000 Guanning cavalry were unable to resist the encirclement of the 50,000 Qing army, and soon suffered heavy casualties.

At this moment, the rear of the Qing army suddenly heard murder, and Zhao led the army to reinforcements.

Huang Taiji was very annoyed, and the report he got was that Zhao Shujiao and Zu Dashou came to steal the camp together, so he did not arrange more ambushes to surround the reinforcements, so that Zhao Shujiao could bring troops to reinforcements.

At present, Huang Taiji's troops are insufficient, the army is unstable, and he does not dare to collide with the 40,000 Guanning iron cavalry, otherwise it will not be good if the encirclement battle becomes a counter-encirclement, so he ordered Abatai to let go of a hole and let the ancestral Dashou department withdraw.

Zu Dashou was originally ready to fight to the death, but when he saw that Huang Taiji's encirclement was broken, he was immediately relieved and hurriedly led his troops to break out.

And Zhao Shujiao didn't plan to be able to compete with Huang Taiji, but after seeing Zu Dashou come out, he stopped attacking, and the two joined forces and retreated far away.

Although Huang Taiji failed to completely annihilate the ancestral Dashou Division, he also eliminated more than 4,000 Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, and his own losses were less than 900, which can be described as a small victory.

More importantly, Huang Taiji's ultimate goal was achieved, and Zhao led the army to withdraw thirty miles, so that Huang Taiji had time to quickly organize the river crossing.

Let's say that Zu Dashou and Zhao Shujiao retreated to a safe place, and after counting the people, Zu Dashou was suddenly annoyed that he was careless. Zhao Shujiao hurriedly comforted that victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the main force is still there, which does not affect the overall situation.

After the two of them cleared up, Zu Dashou regained his judgment, and suddenly slapped his thigh, and said, "Oh no, Huang Taiji will definitely take the opportunity to cross the river overnight!" ”

Zhao Shujiao immediately reflected it, hurriedly discussed with Zu Dashou, and decided that the two soldiers would be in one place, and they would kill Huang Taiji and kill him by surprise.

So, the two of them personally raised the army to return to the Qing army camp again, but after leaning in, they found that Huang Taiji had crossed the river to the other side.

Zu Dashou was about to pursue, but saw a fire burning on the river, and Huang Taiji had already burned the pontoon bridge to stop them from pursuing.

"This sucks!"

Zu Dashou said: "General Zhan ordered us to obstruct the enemy army for a day, and in less than a day, he was escaped by Huang Taiji, which may affect the overall situation!" ”

Zhao Shujiao thought for a while and said, "Not necessarily! Only then did we cross two rivers, and there was also the Qi River! Besides, Man Gui is on the runaway mountain, so he should be able to delay time! I'll wait for the general to report the situation as soon as possible! ”

Zu Dashou nodded, hurriedly sent carrier pigeons to Zhan Zengyong, and at the same time organized people to cut wood to build a raft pontoon bridge to cross the river.

In the upper reaches of the Kuanhe River, Zhan Zengyong and others led the black armor elite cavalry and the 70,000 cavalry brought by Wang Yuanlong to rush to the direction of the Qi River.

On the way, Zhan Zengyong received Zu Dashou's flying pigeon handbook, and already knew the situation of the Battle of Kuanhe.

"Huang Taiji really has some ability, and he has already let him cross the river last night!"

Wang Yuanlong said: "This ancestor Dashou dared to launch a direct charge against Huang Taiji, and caused more than 2,000 casualties to Huang Taiji, I heard it right!" ”

Du Yongchen said: "This shows that the Guanning Iron Cavalry still has some combat effectiveness, otherwise the General Armament Department will supplement them with advanced equipment in vain!" ”

"I think it's Huang Taiji who is cowardly now!" Shen Xiufang pursed her lips and said: "Eighty percent of him was tossed by us, and now he is a frightened bird, as long as he plays the brand of our Liaodong Army, they will be scared to the core!" ”

"That makes sense!"

Zhan Zengyong nodded and said: "It's just that now Huang Taiji has wings and is difficult to fly, tomorrow at noon we will arrive at the Qi River, Huang Taiji may be about an hour or two, but as long as we break the embankment first to release the water, Huang Taiji does not have half a day to cross the river, the original Tang Rabbit battlefield is still the grave of his Huang Taiji!" ”

Hou Shilu and his subordinates only listened on the sidelines, and when they saw Zhan Zengyong and them tell the whole plan, they secretly admired it in their hearts. In his eyes, Deng Haonan and his subordinates were just a small rice seedling, and after a few years, when he looked at it again, the other party was already a towering tree to look up to.

At this time, Du Yongchen said again: "It's better to let Man Gui, who fled from the army, send troops to stop the enemy, after all, it's not very safe to rely on floods to block Huang Taiji's way!" ”

Hou Shilu was startled again, and his eyebrows jumped high.

I thought: Oh my god! They also have an ambush! Isn't this the legendary ambush on all sides!

Hou Shilu was shocked in his heart, this Deng Haonan is really a big hand!

"It's good!"

Zhan Zengyong nodded and said, "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, be careful!" The adult has an order, cut off the head of Huang Taiji, and the official is promoted to the third pole! ”

"Really?"

Everyone was ecstatic, and Hou Shilu looked a little excited and worried.

"You have a share, too!"

Wang Yuanlong patted Hou Shilu's shoulder and said, "This way General Hou is good, my lord is very appreciative, your troops have been included in the battle sequence of the Liaodong Army, so you are also one of us!" ”

Hou Shilu hurriedly thanked, and it could be seen that he was quite happy.

At noon the next day, the main force of the Liaodong Army arrived on time near Qihe Tangtu to stand by. However, the Huang Taiji army failed to come earlier than them, because Man Gui led 20,000 Guanning iron cavalry to entangle the Huang Taiji army for several hours, causing Huang Taiji to fail to arrive at the Qi River as scheduled.

As a result, Zhan Zengyong had no choice but to order the whole army to rest and recuperate, and continue to wait for the rabbit.

This trick of waiting for the rabbit has been used several times, and it has been tried repeatedly, and Huang Taiji finally arrived at the west bank of the Qi River at about half past two in the afternoon.

The Qi River is larger than the Yixun River and the Kuan River, and is the main stream of the Liang River. If you want to get there, you can only build a raft.

But Huang Taiji didn't have time to build a raft, and Zhan Zengyong didn't give him time.

In the afternoon..., the main force of the Liaodong Army assembled in the northwest of Tangtu, and Man Gui led the army to join the division, with a total strength of 120,000, while the Qing army had less than 50,000 people, and the people were sleepy and lacking, and the equipment and weapons were damaged and could not be replenished. At the same time, Zu Dashou and Zhao Shujiao also rushed to participate in the battle, and they still had more than 30,000 Guanning iron cavalry.

However, Zhan Zengyong did not count on their help, and only used them as reserves, ready to capture prisoners.

The war entered the most critical moment, after Deng Haonan in Tongzhou received the report, he was also a little nervous, so he transferred the defenders of the Great Wall of Jizhou Town, formed a 60,000-foot army, went out of the mountain customs, and arranged a defense line in the area of the Longwang Temple. V
