Chapter 591: Take it when you see it!
~~~~~~~~
The sudden impact made these Qing troops defenseless at all, and in a flash, there were already more than 100 casualties.
This town is not big, and there is no wall around it, and when the Qing army conquered it, most of the buildings in the town were damaged.
At this time, the surprise attack of the Caishi Army was also taken advantage of by the Qing Army, and in the terrain, it was like a fish in water, and there was no obstacle at all.
"Bang...... Bang...... Bang......"
With the fierce chirping of birds, accompanied by 'whooshing' feathered arrows, Li Dingguo, Zhang Mu, and Chen De led 3,600 cavalry, like the wind, raging towards the center of the town.
If you only talk about riding and archery skills, then even if you are the most elite elite soldiers of the Colored Stone Army, I am afraid that they cannot be compared with the most ordinary Manchu Eight Banner soldiers, but at this time, the Colored Stone Army has already occupied the opportunity, and these elite soldiers with yellow flags under the command of Zagurtu have not had time to get on the horse at all, and they have been killed by the sons of these Colored Stone Army.
The situation is chaotic.
And although this Zagurtu climbed to today's high position by relying on nepotism, after all, he was born and grew up between the white mountains and black waters, and the blood in his bones is far from being comparable to his descendants who only know how to eat, drink and walk birds.
"These lowly mud knicks! Sons, rush up with your grandfather! Resist, resist!! Zagurtu was also anxious, violently pulled out the steel knife at his waist, and under the escort of dozens of guards around him, he went crazy, and rushed in the direction of the colored stone army not far away!
In a moment, they were connected with the vanguard of the Colored Stone Army!
Although Zagurtu's figure is not very tall, he is very thick and powerful, like a black iron hammer, and in the blink of an eye, two colored stone soldiers have been cut off their horses!
The morale of the Qing soldiers was immediately boosted, and they gathered around Zagurtu with shouts one after another, and began to launch a counterattack on the Ming army in an orderly manner.
~~~~
Not far away, Zhang Mu's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
It's the Qing army!
They have already taken such a big advantage, the cavalry formation has already rushed up, if it is changed to the wandering army, or the official army of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that at this time, I am afraid that it will already be collapsed, and I will scatter and flee!
But these Qing troops can use their bodies to carry them down and launch a counter-attack in this situation, and this combat effectiveness is really ......
"Brother Li, I'm afraid we can't go on any longer! These dog tartars are very difficult to entangle, if they react, we will not be able to get out! Zhang Mu was busy with Li Dingguo on the side.
Li Dingguo was also a little staggered.
There will always be a huge gap between imagination and reality.
Although Li Dingguo had imagined the Qing army to be strong enough, he never expected that the victory that was almost in his hands would be forcibly moved back by these Qing troops.
However, after all, Li Dingguo was born in the exile army, and he was deeply rooted in Zhang Xianzhong's true biography, and he knew that with their strength at this time, if they continued, they would not be able to get any benefits!
"Damn it, it's a cheap dog tartar! Good chance to ......" Li Dingguo clenched the handle of the knife in his hand resentfully, but his eyes were clear, "Brother Zhang, it's a pity that we have too few birds!" Otherwise, Lao Tzu will have a good fight with them here! ”
The 3,000 cavalry of the Chinese army under Zhang Mu were only 300 soldiers, and at this time, in the face of the rising momentum of the Qing army, they could not be suppressed at all.
Zhang Mu was also a little unwilling in his heart, but their task was not to fight to the death with the Qing army, and he also understood in his heart, "Brother Li, Brother Chen, my sons are not good at bows and arrows, and then, I will hand it over to the two of you!" ”
Chen Dezi understood what Zhang Mu meant, and took off the hard bow on his back, "Brother Zhang, you should ask our sons to stand back for the time being!" ”
Li Dingguo also reacted, waved his hand and beckoned the soldiers around him: "Sons, prepare rockets!" We're going to give these dogs a big gift! ”
In a moment, the faint horn of the antlers sounded.
The red wave that was originally charging in was like a tide in an instant, retreating backwards, without a trace of love and war!
There is no doubt about the discipline of the Caishi Army.
And at this time, in the gap that flashed, nearly six hundred archers were already ready!
With Li Dingguo's order, the 'whooshing' rockets, like meteor showers in space, 'crackled' towards the Qing army's camp.
"Whoosh...... Sou...... Whoosh......"
The burning rockets did not stop at all, and the archers used almost all their strength to shoot the maximum number of rockets in the shortest possible time.
At this time, although there was a light rain in the sky, the rockets of the Caishi Army were all soaked in thick pine oil, and this rain could not extinguish their burning flames at all.
In a moment, billowing smoke rose between heaven and earth, and the battlefield was dark.
The fierce fire spread rapidly, and the entire town was turned into a sea of flames.
Even if the Qing army wanted to pursue at this time, the fire had already raged, and they could not cross this burning sea of fire at all.
"Quick! Cover those folks and go first! Let's take a step back! Zhang Mu shouted and ordered.
The slave camp of the Qing army is located on the outskirts of the town, after all, the houses inside are to be enjoyed by the Qing army, and these Han slaves are enclosed like pigs and sheep.
The offensive of the Caishi Army began with the slave camp, and the retreat at this time also took advantage of the geographical advantage!
Under the cover of the Caishi Army, these hundreds of Han slaves desperately fled to the south and quickly disappeared into the dark night......
~~~~~
It was only an hour and a half after the incident, and the sky had just brightened, and Huang Taiji had already gotten the news!
Pinggu City Emperor Taiji King Tent.
Hauge knelt on the ground tremblingly, and he didn't dare to come out, "Your Majesty, Zagurtu, this waste!" It's a shame for us! They are all unladylike servants and unladylikes, and please punish the emperor! ”
Hauge has a ghost in his heart, even in the face of his father, he has to put on a 'business' posture.
Huang Taiji glanced at Haoge lightly, but there was no expression on his face.
After a long time, he let out a long sigh, "Get up! You can't blame you for that! Although Zagurtu was careless, the counterattack behind was still good! However, I'm curious! Liu Ruyi, is this going to fight with us? ”
Since Hai Lanzhu left, Huang Taiji's mind has been much broader than before.
Treating Hauge, he no longer always has a cold face, but has a lot of warm words of encouragement.
Haoge didn't expect that he would be able to pass the test so easily, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, but his hatred for Liu Ruyi added a few points.
"Father, Liu Ruyi is simply too deceitful! He repeated it again and again, and he attacked the child, and the child really couldn't swallow this evil breath in his heart! I beg my father to grant me permission to slaughter this thief with my own hands! For my Daqing, let out this evil breath! Hauge was going to have fire in his eyes.
Huang Taiji shook his head, "You can't be in a hurry about this matter!" Liu Ruyi's small action is nothing more than wanting my Qing backline to live in peace! Hehe! It's better for him to move than not to move! You don't have to worry about this matter for the time being, after you go back, appease your subordinates! Defend tightly, I don't want this to happen again! ”
"Wow!" Although Haoge was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to disobey Huang Taiji's intentions, bowed his head respectfully, and slowly withdrew from the tent.
Huang Taiji watched Haoge's back disappear outside the tent, and suddenly smiled lightly, "Liu Ruyi, hehe, it's good to come!" ”
~~~~~
At this time, Liu Ruyi, who was in Tongzhou, also got the news that Zhang Mu, Chen De, and Li Dingguo had successfully raided the raid.
However, Liu Ruyi did not have much joy on his face.
He didn't expect that these three people would be so bold as to sneak attack the Qing army's Pinggu and Xianghe defense lines.
Liu Ruyi's plan for this operation is to hope that they can create some chaos and trouble for the Qing army, but at the moment, this matter seems to be a bit of a big trouble!
It's not that Liu Ruyi doesn't believe in Zhang Mu's ability!
It's just that now the war has just begun, the Manchu elite is almost unharmed, and Zhang Mu and the three are only 3,000 cavalry, this first time, the Qing army may be defenseless, but if you think about the second time, it's a little too much!
"Someone! Hurry up and pass on my military orders! Order Zhang Mu, Chen De, and Li Dingguo to return to Tongzhou Daying as soon as possible! ”
"Yes!"
~~~~~~
At this time, Zhang Mu and the three had already led the army to retreat to the east bank of the canal.
The first attack, but did not get the desired effect, the three of them were a little dissatisfied.
The army rested in a depression on the bank of the river.
Zhang Mu, Chen De, and Li Dingguo got together again, ready to renegotiate a plan and completely do a big deal!
"Brother Chen, Brother Li, we are here now!" Zhang Mu drew a small dot on the map.
"With today's rain, it will take at least a day for the Qing army to find us! That means we have one more day to do it again! Zhang Mu analyzed with a smile.
Li Dingguo and Chen De were both calm and waiting for Zhang Mu's next words.
Zhang Mu didn't show off, and directly pointed out his thoughts, "We have lost the opportunity, if we want to attack Pinggu City again, it is impossible!" However, Xianghe City is on the side, wouldn't it be a pity if we let it go so easily? ”
Li Dingguo instantly understood what Zhang Mu meant, "What Brother Zhang said is good!" In Xianghe City, there were no Han people at this time, and it had completely become a military city of the Qing army! If only we could light a fire in Xianghe City! Presumably, Huang Taiji will also vomit blood! ”
Chen De was also excited, "Not bad! These dog tartars! Relying on some force, I will treat my Ming territory as if there is nothing! This time, we're going to have to beat them up! Let them remember it a little longer! ”
"Hey, hey! Since both brothers agree, let's discuss the specific plan! Zhang Mu smiled, and was about to unfold the plan in his heart, but there was a report from his own soldiers outside the tent: "General, the general's latest military order!" ”
"Oh? Please! Zhang Mu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went out of the account to greet him.
The pro-soldier cleared his throat, "The general ordered, Zhang Mu, Chen De, and Li Dingguo, the three generals, to retreat to the Tongzhou battalion!" No love for war! ”
"Huh?" Zhang Mu and the three couldn't help but look at each other, how could the general waste such a great opportunity?
The soldiers hurriedly smiled and said: "Three generals, this is the general's military order, don't ask me, I don't know the internal situation of the props!" However, I think the general has the latest information, so you'd better act quickly according to the military orders! ”
