Chapter 188: Let's go take a little revenge
The hero saw the same thing, and Zhou Huchen grinned: "The strongest cavalry of the three thousand, unless it dies, no one will retreat." ”
The battle of Tongguan was over, Li Zicheng's army was defeated, Shanxi and Henan no longer had a place for Li Zicheng to stay, he led the army to retreat to Shaanxi, and Jiannu's army was taking advantage of the victory to enter Shaanxi. This is a good time, just in time to clean up the Jiannu who have crossed the Yellow River, and if you want, you can also show off your power near Tongguan by the way.
"The cabinet and Lord Shoufu have always not recommended a conflict with Kennu!" Huang Degong stood up.
"This is the first provocation launched by Jiannu, they killed Huang Shuai's scouts, we launched a small revenge, I don't look angry, I did it! Isn't it?! Zhou Huchen smiled a little sinisterly, this didn't seem to be a problem.
Zhou Huchen's reason is good, and Huang Degong likes this reason. Of course, he didn't mind Zhou Huchen's expression, anyway, sooner or later he would have to compete with Jiannu. There won't be a big difference between now and later, and this is a good time!
"I also sent out 3,000 cavalry, how about Deputy General Tian Xiongtian cooperate with Xiaohu to take revenge on Jiannu?" Huang Degong also smiled, and his smile was somewhat the same as Zhou Huchen's.
"Good!" Zhou Huchen only used one word, this uncle is trustworthy and doesn't need any nonsense from him.
Six thousand cavalry went to carry out a small revenge, who believes, but does not believe that it is useful? This is Zhou Huchen leading the team, Zhou Huchen has done too many such things, he has already been to Jingshi, and he will fight with Jiannu again - it doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Tian Xiong still has some combat ability, Huang Degong's subordinates are also very good in discipline and combat effectiveness, and Zhou Huchen is confident that he will deal a heavy blow to Jiannu's cavalry who crossed the Yellow River. As for Tian Xiong, who will surrender to Jiannu in history, Zhou Huchen is still relieved now, and it has not yet reached the moment of collapse, Tian Xiong will not have any dissenting intentions for the time being, and he can use it with confidence.
The difference between cavalry and foot soldiers is mobility, and the action is immediate, and early the next morning, stepping on the thin snow, 6,000 cavalry set off at a gallop
Tongxu County is less than 100 miles away from the Yellow River, and closer to Kaifeng, which became yesterday's yellow flower, because the Yellow River burst its embankment a few years ago, Kaifeng, a thousand-year-old city, is no longer there.
Baya Laxu Zhangjing Eshuo is now stationed in Tongxu County, Eshuo is a native of the Zhengbai Banner, and is the confidant of Prince Yu Duoduo. With the defeat of Li Zicheng's army, this crossing of the Yellow River can be said to be smooth, and those cowardly Ming troops either surrendered or fled, and Eshuo easily occupied an area of several hundred miles near Kaifeng.
Xu Dingguo, the Henan general soldier who had just surrendered, made E Shuo see the incompetence of the Ming army even more clearly, these people couldn't even beat Li Zicheng, let alone the opponent of the Qing warriors. Eshuo was very relaxed, the weather was a little cold, and he could easily enjoy it in Tongxu County.
After enjoying it for a few days, E Shuo was somewhat surprised to get a scout return, and a small number of Ming troops were found a few miles away from the south.
Is it the Gao Jie's army that is coming to take revenge? E Shuo was not sure, although that Gao Jie was dead, he had a lot of subordinates, and he couldn't completely ignore it. There are a large number of Bayala soldiers under E Shuo, Bayala belongs to the elite of the Qing Dynasty, 1,000 Bayala plus 3,000 cavalry, plus those foot soldiers, and 4,000 Ming troops who have just surrendered, E Shuo is naturally not afraid of the remnants of Gao Jie. He was worried that he still had too few people, and it would be troublesome if he attacked with all his might.
Eshuo did not move, and after a long time in battle, he had a lot of combat experience, and began to send more scouts to wait and see.
It was already the second day that the Ming army came to the vicinity of Tongxu, and those Ming troops were so bold that they began to approach, and some of the scouts were killed, and the Ming army was only a dozen miles away from Tongxu.
Eshuo finally couldn't sit still, and learned from the scout's report that these Ming troops had nearly 3,000 people, all of whom were cavalry. This is a naked provocation, dare to be arrogant under his nose, when have the warriors of the Qing Dynasty been despised? Eshuo finally got into action.
The terrain near Tongxu was flat, only the western side was slightly higher, and such an environment was very suitable for cavalry combat, and Eshuo led most of his cavalry and Bayala to dispatch.
Tian Xiong has been showing off his might, and he has already killed more than a dozen Jiannu scouts, although he has won many sieges, but it still gives him a sense of accomplishment.
"Deputy Marshal, Jiannu's army in the city has been dispatched!"
It's been a long time since I've had a harvest, and Tian Xiong likes those heads with pig's tails, and this achievement is very attractive. Because Zhou Huchen promised that a head could be exchanged for ten taels of silver.
The scout's return made Tian Xiong begin to cheer up: "Prepare for battle, remember to listen to my orders, and withdraw when it's time to withdraw!" ”
This order was not actually to fight, but to fight and retreat, Tian Xiong had to attract Jiannu to the predetermined battle area, where Zhou Huchen had been waiting for a long time. As for his own cavalry, he will be responsible for the attack on the periphery, as long as he fights bravely, after victory, Zhou Huchen will give him half of his head as a reward.
Silver, the enemy is all white silver, even those newly surrendered Ming army or Dashun army soldiers are also silver, although it can't be the same price as the real Jiannu, but it is also silver, is this a thing - Deputy General Tian and his subordinates all like it.
While lamenting the wealth of Yangzhou in his heart and the generosity of this young marshal Zhou, Tian Xiong led the team to start attacking.
"Control the speed and keep your distance!" If you want to lure the enemy into pursuit, not only make a gesture, but also leave room for yourself to escape, otherwise it will become a rout, Tian Xiong still has some experience in this tactic.
E Shuo's subordinate scouts are very observant, and they have a very clear grasp of the attack intentions of these Ming troops, and these Ming cavalry do not have the intention of attacking with all their might, of course, there seem to be very few Ming troops who dare to fight, and they are even more rare in recent years.
Sure enough, as Eshuo expected, the scout's grappling ended quickly, and the cavalry brigades on both sides were getting closer and closer. The rhythm of the cavalry of Eshuo's brigade became more and more neat, and the cadence of the horses' hooves had completely stepped into a rhythm. And these Ming troops were obviously a little flustered, and the speed and rhythm were obviously out of order.
These Ming troops were as weak as ever, and there was still a distance of more than a mile, and they were about to enter the acceleration distance, and these cavalry of the Ming army began to escape.
"Full strength!
There is nothing to hesitate, E Shuo gave the order to attack with all his might, there are too many examples of this kind of battle he has encountered, the cavalry of the Ming army has always been like this, there is no difference from the past, in his eyes, the cavalry of the Ming army is not as brave as the cavalry of the Dashun army.
The U-turn was much slower than the frontal impact, and when the cavalry of the Ming army turned their horses upside down and began to flee, the cavalry of Eshuo arrived. The sound of heavy horses' hooves was behind them, and these Ming soldiers fled like rabbits, running for their lives one by one, and they had no intention of fighting back at all.
Catching up is a massacre, and no matter how you look at these Ming troops, it doesn't look like a deceit. Even if there are ambushes, there is no need to be afraid, because E Shuo has received several news that there are no other large Ming cavalry nearby, and these Ming cavalry should be the remnants of Gao Jie, and they should come to take revenge on Xu Dingguo to avenge Gao Jie, but it seems that the combat effectiveness is not very good.
Having chased nearly ten miles, in front of a large gentle slope, Eshuo's cavalry finally caught up with the rear of the Ming cavalry.
