Volume 1 Chapter 80: The Sound of the East and the West (3)
Zhao Dang and the others obviously also saw the figure of the cavalry battalion, as if they saw relatives who had not been reunited for a long time, and ran towards the cavalry battalion.
Li Rufeng and his subordinates shook their heads Wang Hong, Wang Hong understood, led more than a dozen cavalry to catch up, and blocked Zhao Dang and others under the city, Zhao Dang was out of breath and Wang Hong said: "General, there are Jiannu, there are many, many Jiannu." ”
Wang Hong was also a border soldier of the Ming army before, and he was also the only surviving subordinate of Li Rufeng, he thought he had heard it wrong, Qian'an and Lulongcheng were captured, where is there still a Qing army near here?
"I said that you soft bones, don't dare to go to Shanxi with us, forget it, and still lie here to confuse the public, disturb the morale of the army, and don't you let Lao Tzu go?"
Zhao Dang was so anxious that he jumped up and down, stomped his feet and said to Wang Hong that to the east of Qian'an City, there was really a large area of Qing army pressed by the black, and it was only an hour away from Qian'an City.
Wang Hong saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he took him to Li Rufeng, and talked to Li Rufeng about this person, and saw a large army of the Qing army in the east of Qian'an City.
Li Rufeng didn't believe it either, he almost gave Zhao Dang a whip, the horse whip was in his hand, and suddenly thought that Leng Rutie was so wise and calm, he suddenly became very calm, and ordered Wang Hong to go to the east of Qian'an City to take a look, if there is a Qing army, withdraw immediately, don't let the Qing army follow.
He asked Zhao Kang why he returned to Qian'an City and saw the Qing army, so how many Qing troops came to Qian'an City?
Zhao Dang regretted leaving Shiying, after arriving in Qian'an City, Ling Jingyang did not break his promise, and let the family members of the Guan Ning Army who were unwilling to follow Shiying leave on their own, Zhao Dang left Qian'an City with dozens of family members, to the south is Lulong City, where a battle is about to break out, to the north is the bitter cold land, to the west is the capital, only to the east, back to the vicinity of Shanhaiguan, maybe you can go to your relatives and continue to live.
When they walked out of thirty miles to the east, the sky was dark, and the group looked for a valley to rest, in the middle of the night, Zhao Dang suddenly felt the ground vibration, he got up in a daze, felt the vibration getting bigger and bigger, he climbed up the valley, and looked into the distance, a huge Qing army was advancing with torches.
Zhao Dang was so frightened that he covered his mouth, hurriedly climbed down, woke up all his companions, and told them that the Qing army was heading west, the companions were too frightened to make a sound, no one dared to slip away under the noses of the Qing army, and Zhao Dang waited for the Qing army to pass by before he dared to leave with his companions.
After walking for a while, he felt that he was very sorry for Shiying and even more sorry for Ling Jingyang to leave like this, so he decided to go back and let the Shiying soldiers guard against the surprise attack of the Qing army.
Half of his companions pulled him and didn't let him go back, and half of them were willing to go back and let the soldiers of the stone camp be on guard.
Zhao Dang must go back, others can't persuade him, and they are afraid that they will be discovered by the Qing army when they go back, so they fight, Zhao Dare looked at this group of selfish people, and didn't want to go with them, he said to his companions who wanted to go back: "Everyone run to Jiannu, these sluts don't dare to follow." ”
He took the lead in running in the direction of the Qing army, and the others followed him, so that the family members who did not want to go back, fearing that they would be found and slaughtered by the Qing army, gave up the beating and disappeared into the night.
Zhao Dang actually deliberately ran in the direction of the Qing army, he didn't dare and wouldn't be stupid to let the Qing army find out, and after getting rid of the others, he quickly stopped and returned to Qian'an City from the other side with his companions.
Because the Qing army had a large number of people and a lot of things to bring, the speed was very slow, and they stopped to rest after walking for a while, Zhao Dang and others spread their feet and rushed back to Qian'an City in front of them, and they didn't see the stone camp in the city, and they ran long distances, and they were tired enough, so they decided to rest in the city for a while, and then go to Lulong City, and when they entered the city, they happened to meet the cavalry battalion under the city.
Li Rufeng listened to Zhao Dang's narration, did not dare to slack off, and ordered his subordinates to take Zhao Dang and others to the large army, and Zhao Dang personally reported to Ling Jingyang, he led the cavalry battalion to the east, and met Wang Hong on the way.
Wang Hong saw Li Rufeng and hurriedly said: "Hold the flag, there are really Jiannu, more than 1,000 cavalry, more than 4,000 infantry, and more Baoyi is helping to transport supplies." ”
Li Rufeng still had the idea of raiding the Qing army at the beginning, listening to Wang Hong's report, he suddenly did not have the courage to raid, but he still led the cavalry battalion to rush up, he knew that the Qing army was transported to the front line with a large number of materials, and he would definitely pass by Qian'an City.
The Qing army was only ten miles away from Qian'an City, but it suddenly stopped, because a group of uninvited guests came to the army, and their arrival made the commander of the Qing army panic.
The commander of the Qing army was Beizi Tunqi, who followed Dolgon into the pass, and the Dashun army that killed was defeated all the way, and Dolgon continued to pursue the Dashun army, and Tunqi led the troops back to Shengjing, escorting the grain and grass transported from Shengjing to Guannei.
The auxiliary king Jierharang, who stayed in Shengjing, collected a large amount of grain, grass and military supplies in Shengjing, packed them all up, and escorted them to Guannei by Tunqi.
Because Dolgon attaches great importance to logistics, he firmly believes that as long as the grain and grass are sufficient, the Eight Banners can sweep the north and south of the river, so he asked Tun Qi to lead 5,000 cavalry to escort the grain and grass, he attaches importance to this batch of materials, and there is an important reason, this batch of materials not only has grain and grass, but also the heavy weapons that the Qing army relies on the most, fifty Hongyi cannons!
The Hongyi cannon made by the Qing army is the largest caliber and most powerful artillery in the land of China in the same era, and it is also a heavyweight giant, which needs horsepower to pull, and the speed is very slow.
Tunqi is very familiar with the Hongyi cannon, as long as the Hongyi cannon is sent to the front line, it can break through every city garrisoned by the Dashun army, in order to send the Hongyi cannon and grain and grass to the front line as soon as possible, Jierharang also requisitioned 10,000 coats to help Tunqi transport supplies.
More than 10,000 people traveled a long way, after entering Yongping Mansion, the whole army was a little tired, in front of Qian'an City, Tun Qi decided to spend the night in Qian'an City tonight, let Zuo lead Ejilong to Qian'an City to contact, Ejilong led hundreds of cavalry from the large army to separate, halfway to meet a group of remnants of the defeated general.
This group of remnants of the defeated army was the second-in-command of the Qing army in Lulongcheng, Nenglai, and his subordinates, and after he ordered to kill Shatai's own soldiers, he led his subordinates to retreat from the other side, but did not go far.
When he saw that Shiying broke through Lulong City, retreated to Qian'an City with all the city's supplies, and returned to Lulong City with his troops, and found Shatai's body under the city.
And he also knew that in the past few days, there would be baggage from Shengjing passing through Yongping Mansion, and would spend the night in Lulong or Qian'an, he took his subordinates to the east of Lulong City, maybe he could join the baggage troops, and there was no shadow of the baggage troops in the east, and he took his subordinates to the east of Qian'an City, and finally collided with Ejilong and other cavalry troops.
Ejilong didn't know Neng Lai, but Neng Lai knew him, after all, Ejilong was a senior general, and Neng Lai told Ejilong that the two cities of Qian'an and Lulong were raided by the Dashun army, Shatai was killed in battle, and the materials in the city were robbed by the Dashun army.
Neng Lai deliberately said that he took a detour, trying to provoke Ejilong, Ejilong was really angry, and there was even a sneak attack on Qian'an and Lulong by the Dashun army, these two places are large rear cities, how can they be captured by the Dashun army, that Shatai is really innocent.
He didn't care about going to Qian'an City, so he brought Nenglai to Tunqi and asked Nenglai to report to Tunqi that the two cities of Lulong had lost their military information.
After Tunqi heard about it, he was shocked for a long time and couldn't speak, if it wasn't for Nenglai telling him that there were only more than 1,000 people in the Dashun army, he really thought that the Dashun army defeated the regent on the front line, and attacked Qian'an and Lulong was the vanguard of the Dashun army, and he repeatedly asked Nenglai if there were only more than 1,000 people in the Dashun army?
Neng Lai swore that there were indeed only more than 1,000 people in the Dashun army, and there were many people who were not sergeants, but ordinary people who followed the Dashun army, Tunqi had a general impression in his mind, this Dashun army was not many in number, and some people were among them, and the combat effectiveness would not be very strong, how did they defeat Shatai?
Tunqi didn't understand that Shatai had a lot of soldiers and horses, how to lose the city and lose people, Tunqi asked him how Shatai was defeated, Nenglai replied to Tunqi, Shatai's failure was a tactical mistake, and the division of troops also trusted the surrender of troops, resulting in the could have withdrawn to Lulongcheng garrison, but was rejected by Lulongcheng's surrender troops, and was finally annihilated by the Dashun army, and the troops in Lulongcheng surrendered to the Dashun army again, so that the Dashun army occupied Lulongcheng without blood.
Bang, Tun Qi angrily dropped the wine pot in his hand, scolded the soldiers for having no discipline, and scolded Shatai for having no brains, and he could see that Tun Qi was angry, and insidiously told him that after the Dashun army broke through Lulong City and took away the materials in the city, he abandoned Lulong City and was rushing to Qian'an City, as if he was going to spend the night in Qian'an City.
Tun Qi's eyes rolled, and ordered the troops to stop advancing, in order to protect the grain and grass and Hongyi cannons, he ordered Ejilong to lead a thousand troops to recapture Lulong City, and after occupying Lulong City, all the clothes and baggage went to Lulong City with grain, grass and baggage.
And he wants to lead the main force to destroy the Dashun army that spent the night in Qian'an City, and avenge Shatai and other Qing soldiers who died in battle.
