Chapter 470: Sudden Change
The battle lasted for more than an hour, and the Ming army broke out with amazing combat effectiveness under the command and leadership of Hong Chengchou, although it suffered heavy losses under the impact of the Manchu cavalry, but after all, it was not immediately defeated. This made He Luo very frustrated, the impression of the Ming army was not so forbidden to fight, but even if it returned to the light, according to this trend, the rout of the Ming army would be within half an hour.
But the accident still happened, and suddenly the whistles and shouts all over the mountains and fields came, and it turned out to be the arrival of Ming Dynasty reinforcements. He Luo will be shocked, his mind is racing, he was attacked by the Ming army on both sides, even if he wins like this, I am afraid that the loss will be huge, it is better to let them go for the time being, and slowly clean up, why rush for a while!
With his mind decided, He Luo would order Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and the sound of gold and iron striking spread throughout the battlefield in an instant. The stubborn resistance of the Ming army finally breathed a sigh of relief, but as expected, the Qing army, which had been attacking its flank, suddenly intensified the offensive, which made them feel choked and breathless, so they had to fight to block it and prevent it from being routed at this last moment.
He Luohui glanced back at the battlefield, and without hesitation, with a whistle, the Qing army that was attacking head-on retreated, and as the horse's hooves galloped and accelerated, they quickly left the battlefield. At the same time, the Manchu cavalry on the flank also broke away after a rain of arrows, leaving the Ming army stunned on the spot.
Seeing that the Qing army retreated so quickly and perfectly, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but sigh secretly, he was able to survive this bloody battle, and it seemed that he was a little lucky at this time, so he put away the complacency generated by the victory in the past few days.
However, the person who came was not Hong Chengchou's third man, but another remnant of the Ming Dynasty scattered in the western Liaoning corridor. There are only more than 1,000 people who can fight, and the reason why it has just created the illusion that the mountains and fields are full of Ming troops is just a bluff.
The main general of this group of remnants was Li Mingwenchang, a county magistrate surnamed Li Mingwenchang in Ningyuan, and under the excited tears after seeing Hong Chengchou, it turned out that before Ningyuan was lost, he was assigned to the city to raise food and grass, but it was this appointment that saved his life. Originally, there was a staff general who was responsible for commanding the army, but a few days ago, the general was killed by a stray arrow, so Li Wenchang, who was the county magistrate, took the initiative to jump to the heavy responsibility of commanding the army.
In fact, if it weren't for the support of this county at all times, the remnants of the Ming army might have been scattered long ago.
After listening to what happened to Li Wenchang Zhixian, Hong Chengchou was overwhelmed with emotion, and he never imagined that behind this tragic battle, there were still many stories that could be sung and cried. If this success is successful, we must let these people and things go straight to heaven.
However, with the loss of more than half of the battle with the Qing army just now, the morale of the people that had been accumulated was once again on the verge of collapse, looking at the soldiers who were covered in wounds and wolves, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but feel angry. He suddenly remembered something, fumbled in his sleeve for a while, and then took out the note that Li Xin gave him at the time of parting, and gently unfolded it, and the crooked handwriting on it was displayed in front of him.
"When the enemy advances, I retreat, when the enemy is stationed and disturbs, when the enemy is tired, I fight, and when the enemy retreats, I chase...... This is called the guerrilla method. ”
In just a few words, he exhausted the way he was dealing with the situation he was facing. At the beginning, although Hong Chengchou praised Li Xinduo, he did not take this even guerrilla method to heart, but he was soon punished for his rash actions.
Although he was unwilling, Hong Chengchou had to admit that Li Xinqi was really a genius in using soldiers, and what was even more rare was that this person knew how to adapt measures to local conditions, and could change a variety of tactical guiding ideologies according to different environments. As we all know, what Li Xin is good at is nothing more than seeking victory in danger, winning more with less, and even more in the battle formation, using the military array charge as the main means to give the opponent a huge vitality blow, so as to achieve the final victory in the battle.
It seems that this kind of guerrilla method is the first time I have heard of it, which is why Hong Chengchou did not think about it at the beginning, the most taboo for soldiers to talk about soldiers on paper, and Li Xin has never been known for this tactic that is close to a thief, he naturally will not adopt it lightly, until this time he hit the south wall and suddenly found that the position of himself and the Qing army is different from the position of the thief and the imperial army when he was suppressing thieves in the pass.
Hong Chengchou couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, Li Xin's son is better than me! Recognizing one's own shortcomings and admitting one's own shortcomings is not something that everyone can do, let alone in front of others, even in their hearts, they will not admit defeat lightly.
"Let's go, go into the mountains!"
Hong Chengchou put away all kinds of thoughts, and hurriedly retreated into the mountains with more than half of his subordinates and more than 1,000 people who had lost more than half of his subordinates and the newly accepted Li Wenchang.
In fact, Hong Chengchou's third group was surrounded by He Luohui's army on the north bank of a river beach at this moment. It turned out that after He Luohui evacuated the battlefield, he only walked less than ten miles before he encountered the third road of people who came in a hurry.
He Luohui didn't say a word and directly ordered the fight, this force of people and horses without Hong Chengchou's backbone combat effectiveness is naturally incomparable, and they were soon beaten in an uproar, and finally trapped on the river beach and couldn't retreat.
He Luo would make Goshha shout to them to surrender and defect, so that they could save their lives, otherwise they would be ordered to attack a moment later, and they would be killed by that time.
In desperation, the Ming army decided to lay down their weapons to save their lives, and they gathered their weapons in one place according to He Luohui's requirements, and then squatted on the spot, anxiously waiting for the Qing army to receive them. What awaits you is greater doom?
He Luohui saw the Ming army's plan, and after laughing angrily, he gave a resolute order.
"Kill! Kill not a single one! ”
He had already accumulated a lot of anger in Hong Chengchou, and what was even more hateful was that he still didn't know who the name of the main general of the Ming army was. It is a pity that these Ming troops fought with the Manchus for several months, and actually laid down their weapons in the end, but in the end they still failed to ask for the fate of falling heads.
When the Manchu cavalry accelerated and rushed into the Ming army that laid down their arms, it was like a wolf flock into a flock of sheep, the swords saw flesh and blood, the limbs flew sideways, screaming and cursing into a mess, but the kung fu of more than 1,000 Ming troops in half an hour was not all killed.
The entire river beach was full of blood, and the river was almost dyed red with blood.
"Cut off the head, go back and ask Prince Li for a reward!"
He Luohui wiped a handful of blood on his face, laughed strangely, and ordered all the heads of the Ming army to be cut off and brought back for reward.
Soon, the news that He Luo would defeat and harass the Houlu Ming army spread all over the Qing army camp, and no one expected that a little-known Zhang Jing would actually achieve such brilliant results in a battle. The high pile of thousands of Ming army heads piled up in front of the camp gate was very terrifying, but it also put his victory in front of everyone.
What Turai and Wakhda failed to do, Holo would have done. Wakda's ability is not obvious, needless to say, but Turai is a veteran general in the army, although his reputation is not loud enough, but it is an indisputable fact that he is brave, in comparison, no one dares to ask He Luohui, a previously unknown guy.
He Luo's big victory was also unexpected by Dai Shan, and he was glad that he had underestimated this person's ability. Of course, from another point of view, it is equivalent to him digging out another talent for using soldiers.
Dai Shan rewarded He Luohui and all the armor soldiers who fought with the army in a high-profile manner, and solemnly promised that once the class returned to the court, he would ask the Great Khan for a reward.
The worries have been removed, and Dai Shan thinks that he can go all out to attack Shanhaiguan. But the bad news came again, compared with the remnants of the Ming army, this news was tantamount to a bolt from the blue.
"What? All the ships were burned? Where was it burned? ”
Dai Shan almost didn't believe his ears, how could it be so easy for the Ming army to burn the Qing army's sea ships, and he even suspected that this was a plan by the Ming army to disrupt his army's mind. But the scout followed the scout, and he couldn't help but believe it.
In the end, the news was confirmed, more than eighty percent of the sea ships were set on fire by a group of Ming troops who came by surprise at the mouth of the three rivers, and the sea route to transport supplies was cut off from today.
In this way, Jinzhou, which Li Xin occupied, has truly become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of Dai Shan. There is only one choice he faces now, that is, to take Jinzhou and ensure that he has no worries about the future.
However, seeing that the strategy against Shanhaiguan was about to bear fruit, Dai Shan naturally would not give up lightly, so the road of the army returning to the division could not be followed, so he could only send a partial division and make a trial. As a result, the newly dazzling military star He Luohui once again entered Dai Shan's sight.
Why don't you go with this person, maybe there will be a surprise!
……
In Jinzhou, Sun Jiao's face was full of worry, "I'm afraid that Dai Shan will not give up Shanhaiguan lightly, and only send a partial division to come." Without the backing of the imperial court, we would not be able to survive here. ”
At present, the final result for the Three Guards is to solve the war in Liaodong as soon as possible.
What's more, Lu Jiu sent back the news in Liaoyang, they fought a tragic battle in the area of Tuanshan Fort, and the losses were not light, and Heisenberg was seriously injured and asked to withdraw to Jinzhou, otherwise there would be a danger of unsustainable.
Li Xin agreed to Lu Jiu's request, and at the same time, an ominous premonition rose up and circled around his heart.
The Qing army suddenly became tougher, and there could only be one result, that is, some kind of change had taken place within them that they did not know about, perhaps this change was fermenting and expanding, and it was deviating from the track they expected.
Li Xin had a hunch that there was not much time left for him to move around in Jinzhou, western Liaoning, and soon the city under his feet might become the center of a big war.
"Second son, the top priority is to get in touch with Shanhaiguan and inform the elder of the strategy discussed by you and me, so that we can save the crisis as much as possible!"
