Chapter 639: The Great Battle (II)
Xiaoling River is also known as Ming'an River, originates from Jianchang Louzi Mountain, Jinzhou section because the terrain is relatively flat, so the water flow is not turbulent, about 60 zhang wide.
After Wang Shi's advance crossed the river, Li Xingzhi sent a large number of scouts and prepared a large number of bridge repair materials at the north end of Beacon Hill for more than 30 miles.
When the advance of the Wang Division crossed the Xiaoling River, Shi Xu Yixian, the governor of the Yan Palace, estimated that the advance of the Wang Division must have encountered the main force of the Qing army, so he strongly suggested that Li Xingzhi cross the river and seize the strategic place between the Da Ling River and the Xiao Ling River in Bijia Mountain, and even took advantage of the unpreparedness of the main force of the Dongyu to inflict heavy losses on it.
In order to confuse the scouts of the Qing army who were guarding the Xiaoling River crossing, Li Xingzhi followed Xu Yixian's plan, that is, he ordered Jin Shenghuan, the general of Xinyi Town, to raise his own Wang Qi Daxu, carry 50,000 people with the army, disguise himself as the main force of the Wang Division, and go straight to the direction of the Bijiashan Ferry, in order to confuse the Qing army.
The main force made a detour of 30 miles and crossed the river in the upper reaches of the Xiaoling River, such a large-scale military operation could evade the Qing army's sentinels, and also benefited from Jiang Xiang and Wang Fuchen's troops to enter the Duoyan Sanwei, and swept away the Qing army stronghold west of the Xiaoling River.
Soldier is fast,
In order to take the main force of the puppet Qing Dynasty by surprise, Li Xingzhi personally led more than 10,000 military horses from the second town of the cavalry of the Anba Department and the 3,000 iron soldiers belonging to Li Bangjie to rush to cross the Xiaoling River pontoon bridge, and the rest of the military horses were all handed over to Zhang Shaoqian, the governor of Beizhili, and crossed the river as soon as possible.
As soon as the cavalry of the Jingbei Army arrived at Bijia Mountain, they saw that the advance of the official army had been completely defeated, and the entire battlefield was full of chaotic Ming soldiers.
Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it.
Li Xingzhi did not hesitate, but decisively issued a military order to attack, even though there were only more than 10,000 people in the second town of the cavalry of the Jingbei Army, but he still issued a military order for the whole army to attack.
More than 10,000 cavalry of the Jingbei Army were divided into three groups by Amba according to the column, and rushed towards the rear formation of the Manmeng Eight Banners like a lightning speed, the smoke and dust were billowing on the ground, and the ground was trembling with the sound of horses' hooves.
"It's not good, it's the reinforcements of the Ming Kingdom, stop them, stop them."
Duoduo, the puppet prince of Qing Yu commanded by the left wing, and Wu Nag, the leader of the white flag of the Mongolian army, were all shocked, and the puppet Qing inlaid yellow flag lord Azig, who was personally leading the army to assault, was also pale, and Dolgon and Hong Chengchou, who were watching the battle on the high slope in the distance, were also at a loss.
They didn't expect that when the pontoon bridge was cut off, the Ming army would be able to cross the Xiaoling River without the scouts, and they didn't expect that Xiao Li was so ruthless that he was willing to use the more than 30,000 Ming troops in the vanguard as bait, and used tens of thousands of lives to completely lose confidence in themselves.
Dolgon and the others were not allowed to think too much, and the hooves of the cavalry of the Jingbei Army had already crashed into the rear of the Manmeng Eight Banners.
Hit with war horses, stab with cavalry spears, and cut with sabers, not all of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners were cavalry, and almost all of the infantry in the rear team were infantry, and they were infantry without formation.
The second lieutenant general of the cavalry, Akema, led a group of cavalry into the artillery position of the rear of the Qing army, and the Han gunners were so frightened that they ran away one by one, but no matter how fast they ran, they were not as fast as the four-legged war horses, and they were soon surrounded by the Jingbei army that rushed up left and right.
"Hurry up and give Ben the banners of Duoduo and Azig, or you will all die!" The long knife in Akmara's hand was pointed straight at him, and his eyes were filled with bloodlust and light.
"Small...... Little obedience! ”
Listening to the stiff Chinese in Akema's mouth and looking at the familiar faces of the cavalry around him, Wu Daodao, the gunner of the Han army, realized that these cavalry were fucking Manchurian uncles.
"Boom, boom...... Rumble......! ”
The Manchurian uncle has become the object of His Royal Highness King Yan's drive, where does Wu Daode still have the courage to resist, without hesitation, he pulled out a knife and cut the braid on the back of his head, rolled up his sleeves to drink the Han army under the order to turn the muzzle of the cannon, and set up the cannon in the direction of the flag of the Manchurian princes such as Azig and Duoduo.
The tide turned abruptly.
was burying his head in the pursuit of the Manmeng Eight Banners, under the double blow of the cavalry of the Jingbei Army and the artillery of the Han Army, he was caught off guard and suddenly fell a large area.
"It's not good, kill this king quickly, kill back."
Duoduo finally gathered more than 2,000 white flag vests, and turned his head to counterattack in the direction where the Jingbei army was coming, but in front of him were Manchu and Mongolian infantry driven by the cavalry of the Jingbei army, and the dense sea of people made Duoduo's cavalry unable to accelerate at all.
Iron bullets rained down like drops in the chaotic military formation of the Manchurian Eight Banners, which made those Manchurian soldiers run around like headless flies.
"King Yan has arrived, King Yan has arrived, brothers kill, kill."
The Ming army, which was squeezed by the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners on the river embankment, obviously also saw Li Xingzhi's Wang Banner erected high on Beacon Mountain, and one by one rushed towards the Manchurian soldiers in front of them with swords and spears as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
Liu Liangzuo and the others in the half-moon array on the south side of the Xiaoling River were also like drowning people, grabbing a life-saving straw, roaring and raising the knife and spear in their hands, and killed under the river embankment, leaving only Sun Zhislack who was trembling because of fear.
"Your Highness is here, help the governor to get up, and the governor will personally cheer for the soldiers."
The situation on the battlefield changed, His Royal Highness King Yan came to Xiaolinghe in person, although Sun Zhiqian was shocked and couldn't straighten his legs and feet at all, he still cheered up and wanted to behave in front of King Yan, but as soon as he straightened up, he was shot through the throat by an arrow that flew from nowhere, howled in pain, and fell to the ground again.
"Go out with this king, and go to take our artillery positions first."
Dolgon on the high slope finally stabilized his mind, because he had an overview of the overall situation, he saw the situation on the battlefield clearly, the reinforcements of the Ming army were not too much, only nearly 10,000 cavalry, but because of the sudden attack, the soldiers of the Eight Banners were unprepared, which led to the feeling that the Qing army seemed to be pressed and beaten by the Ming army.
Now the generals on the battlefield can't find soldiers, soldiers can't find generals, everywhere are rushing Ming and Qing troops, the situation has been out of control, in order to save the decline, Dolgon looked at Li Xingzhi's Wang Qi on Beacon Mountain.
Take the Xiao Li thief, the Qing Dynasty can reverse the turnaround, from the clairvoyant mirror, the Ming army under the mountain is only three or four thousand people, and Dolgon also has nearly three thousand Goshha in his hands, he believes that as long as the Xiao Li thief is forced down the mountain, with the three thousand people in his hands, he will be able to break the Xiao Li thief,
How to force Xiao Li thief down the mountain? That is only a desperate bet, all the last hole cards on the battlefield, that little Li thief will definitely in order to ensure that the rear road of the Ming cavalry is not attacked, the life and death of Manchuria Dolgon thought for a long time, or decided to press the only mobile military horse at hand all on the battlefield.
