Chapter 379: Field Battle (Second Shift)
Wang Chengen is also a person who knows the soldiers, that Chongzhen once asked him to supervise the Beijing camp, and he has a certain military quality, and Chongzhen has now trained him to become a third-level military general in the body refining realm.
Although it is only a small cultivation made the day after tomorrow, Wang Chengen can pick up a big axe on the horse, and the Tiangang 36 plate axe can definitely be used.
There is a gossip palm under the step, and he can be regarded as an all-round general. The combat power is comparable to the level of the average general among the 22 generals under Li Zicheng, and he is no longer the weak and powerless big eunuch who will only hang himself on Chongzhen Coal Mountain.
This is also the main reason why Chongzhen can temporarily hand over 20,000 soldiers and horses to him to supervise.
Now Wang Chengen, following Chongzhen from Shangjing to Shanhaiguan, has fought many big and small battles, and under the influence of Chongzhen, he is more calm and experienced in the matter of soldiers.
Seeing that the time is ripe, seeing that this situation is not charged, it is equivalent to standing there collectively and letting people be slashed.
Therefore, Wang Chengen shouted: "Rush!"
The archers stepped back in an orderly manner.
"Rush!"
Ma Bao, who got this order, shouted loudly, and at the same time a tanned whip gun was pumped to the horse's buttocks, and the horse whip was also powerful, like a steel whip on the body, and the war horse burst out of the hooves in pain.
Ma Bao took the lead and went straight to *** like an arrow.
His 5,000 soldiers and horses followed the main general and rushed out.
The battalion next to Ma Bao was Gu Shunyi's soldiers and horses, and he had to order Gu Shunyi to carry a spear and take his 5,000 men and horses to rush towards *** like opening a floodgate.
There are 10,000 soldiers, and there is no boundary.
The charge of this Wanming army is like overwhelming the mountains and the sea.
At this time, the camp of the Ming army was pressed on both sides by the two battalions of Zhou Qing and Li Meng, and these two generals were not far behind with 10,000 soldiers and horses.
The 20,000 Ming army, shouting like a tide, like a surging wave, is all over the sky and is unstoppable.
The Ming army and the Qing army hedged, 30 steps away, and in the blink of an eye, 40,000 horses rushed together and started a white-knuckle fight......
Wang Chengen took nearly 200 brocade guards to watch the battle on the high slope behind.
On the high slope behind the Qing army, Dolgon took Nikan and Zu Dabi and other hundreds of personal guards to supervise the battle.
While watching the battle, Wang Chengen kept looking in the direction of the Qing army's camp.
Seeing that Chongzhen hadn't appeared yet, he was anxious.
Suddenly, he saw Dolgon on the high slope behind the Qing army, and his heart turned, no wonder *** suddenly rushed over, it turned out that this thief came to the army.
It must have been a failure of the peace talks......
On the premise that there was no holy decree, Wang Chengen immediately made a decision, and with the courage to send all 200 Jinyi guards, led by the hundred households of Jinyi Wei, to the camp of the Qing army to meet Chongzhen.
200 brocade guards flew away......
30 miles away, Yang Wanli and Tang Wancai took a few brocade guards to protect the two princes, and arrived at Shanhaiguan in less than half an hour.
Yang Wanli immediately conveyed the emperor's dictation to Lu Mingzhang and Han Yin.
The emperor wants to lure the enemy with King Sanshun, and the soldiers and horses of Shanhaiguan must fully cooperate.
Specifically, there are two tasks: one is to cooperate with the decoy of the enemy, which is mainly completed by the soldiers and horses left behind in Shanhaiguan and dozens of brocade guards of Yang Wanli to cooperate with the emperor; The second is to gather a part of the soldiers and horses, and send troops from the area of the Nine Gates to cut off Dolgon's return route.
Since the place where the Ming army and the *** field battle is now thirty miles east of Shanhaiguan, there is a plain and plateau.
The Jiumen Reservoir is thirty miles northeast of Shanhaiguan, although it is not too far from that place, but the location of the decisive battle between the two sides is the plain and the highland, and the troops at the Jiumen Gate are easy to expose, and it is difficult to catch them all.
They need to be lured to Huanxi Ridge near Shanhaiguan.
However, the fighter plane was fleeting, and the emperor told them not to slack off for a moment, and the second general immediately acted according to his will after understanding.
The second general immediately gathered troops and horses.
There are now a total of 6,000 soldiers and horses left behind in Shanhaiguan, including 1,000 people who guard the red-coated cannons in Tashan.
From where to draw 800, leaving 200 men to guard the tower hill fort.
Then he drew troops and horses from the South Water Pass, the North Water Pass, the North and South Wing Cities, the East and West Luo Cities, the Main Pass City, the Jiaoshan Pass, and a piece of stone.
There is a shortage of soldiers and horses, and a one-size-fits-all attrition.
A total of 4,000 people were drawn and quickly assembled at the Jiumen Reservoir, this team had the Jinyi New Army, the commander of the eighth battalion and the commander of the Jinyi Wei Qianhu.
The remaining 2,000 men and horses, including those who were recuperating from the wounded, were led by Lu Mingzhang and Tang Wancai, both of whom were injured and needed to recuperate.
It is their task to guard the important passes of the Guancheng, protect the two princes, and take care of the thousands of captives in Shanhaiguan.
The specific cooperation with the emperor to lure the enemy was in charge of Yang Wanli with dozens of brocade guards.
After the division of labor among the three generals, Shanhaiguan was busy and dispatched troops.
An hour later, everything was ready.
When Han Yin took 4,000 soldiers and horses out of the Jiumen Reservoir,
Here, Yang Wanli took Jinyiwei from the Nanshui Pass of the mountains and seas and started to perform, Yang Wanli and dozens of other Jinyiwei rushed all the way to the seaside battlefield......
Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
