Chapter 470: Fighting and Plotting
Before dawn, the Ming army suddenly went out of the city, and Duoduo on the bank of the Liuzhou River was slightly surprised, not knowing the intentions of the army, and immediately ordered the soldiers to put on armor and get on their horses, and wait in formation.
It should have been out of the city to surrender, and Dorgon's subordinates talked a lot, and most of them speculated, because there could be no other reason besides this, and the most unlikely of them was that the Ming army went out of the city to invite battle.
One, they don't have the guts,
Second, they don't have that strength
Third, even if they fight, it is impossible to avoid the shortcomings and avoid the long and long battles of the Qing army's iron cavalry, and they should defend the city according to it!
When Duoduo's 3,000 cavalry lined up, he saw that the black and oppressive Ming army had also arrived on the opposite bank, and he swept it at a glance, and his heart was slightly shocked, there were more than 1,000 bullshit, at least three or four thousand men and horses, and it was cavalry!
Where did the Ming army come from such troops? Everyone wondered.
At this time, the sky will be bright, the Ming army on the other side will not be in flames, the face is vague, and the thousands of cavalry are like a black cloud pressing on Duoduo's heart, what are they going to do?
The river is more than ten zhang wide, with snow on the ice, and is about a foot deep.
There are soldiers on both sides of the strait, and there are more than a few thousand on each side.
The sky was getting brighter, the murderous aura was getting stronger, and the silent confrontation could only last for a cup of tea, and Duoduo suddenly found that the Ming army on the other side was a little unfamiliar.
Dressed in colorful clothes, like a citizen and a thief, he just doesn't look like a soldier.
Could it be that the information is wrong, and the abandoned city of Zhonghou has become a den of thieves and is occupied by thieves.
Everyone knows that there are so many thieves outside the border that there are so many people who come from, but where did they come from?
However, if it is a thief, their move can be explained, since they went out of the city to say peace, yes, if they accept this group of people as a junior brother, it will not be a trip in vain.
Duoduo, who was about to send someone across the river for questioning, suddenly noticed that there was a change in the men and horses on the opposite bank, and the front camp was divided into several passages, and then he saw it...... What is that? Faintly visible, sparks are beating.
Fuck me! Artillery!
Disperse! The Qing army was shocked, and the men and horses on the opposite bank launched more than a dozen artillery pieces to bombard across the river without saying a word!
Boom, boom, more than a dozen artillery pieces opened fire almost at the same time, making the Qing troops on the other side panic and panicked and began to scatter in all directions, but the formation of thousands of people wanted to dodge the bombardment of more than a dozen artillery pieces in just a few tens of seconds, which was undoubtedly nonsense.
More than ten flowering bombs fell into the camp, people turned over on their backs, their flesh and blood were blurred, screams were repeated, and the formation was chaotic in an instant.
Duoduo was furious, and with a wave of his long knife: "Rush over and slaughter this ......"
Suddenly, at this time, the sound of killing behind the battle was loud, Duoduo was shocked, looking back, thousands of cavalry rushed over a few miles behind the battle, Ma Ruo was in the wind, and in a blink of an eye, after entering the formation, the Qing army, which was already bombarded by artillery, was even more panicked when he saw this, and hurriedly met the battle!
It turned out to be ambushed! Duoduo was shocked in his heart, how did this group of centaurs appear behind unnoticed, and when he was in a state of confusion, he heard the sound of killing in front of him, and the men and horses on the other side rushed over!
I'm afraid it's not good! Duoduo's heart was cold for no reason.
It feels exactly the same as it did four years ago!
Li Yan is both civil and military, good at strategy, he was one of Li Zicheng's advisers when he was a thief, and when the eunuch sent a message to him to eat this group of centaurs, he began to calculate, how to put down chopsticks, how to eat happily.
The Qing army is good at field warfare, famous all over the world, he is only undefeated against the Qing army of 3,000 with 6,000 cavalry, but if you eat hard, you will only knock out a few teeth, and you may even choke!
It's no fun to kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 yourself!
So he plans to eat it differently.
The first step was to make a fool of himself and leave the city suddenly without lighting a fire, and the Qing army was puzzled, and it was impossible to act rashly before the situation was unknown.
The second step is to reach the shore to confront each other, and to use artillery to surprise in his doubts, and at the same time to signal the ambush soldiers to make a move, which is also Li Yan's shrewdness.
If it is directly hard to do it in the front, it may not take advantage, and the hard bones are difficult to gnaw, but if you first blow up his formation by surprise with artillery, so that it panics, then the ambush will attack, the Qing army will be chaotic, and then kill from the front, the morale of the Qing army has been discharged, and it will be much easier to gnaw.
In fact, artillery deterrence and ambush **, these are excellent psychological tactics!
It is simply to mess up the formation, frustrate its sharpness, dilute its murderous spirit, and mess up its military morale.
Li Yan's tactics were extremely successful, the Qing army was in chaos, but it also succeeded in angering Duoduo, at this time he didn't have time to regret his carelessness, he only had anger! I just want to kill all these thieves.
The bandits also want to swallow elephants, so the confidence that comes, is it an ornament to be a Qing Dynasty iron horse? He took it for granted that this group of people was reckless in the mountains.
"Taguha, lead your men to block the back, kill the enemy in front of Yadar, and kill all the lowly minions!" Duoduo gritted his teeth and cursed as he directed his soldiers to do their best to stabilize their positions.
However, he still underestimated Li Yan.
The Shenji Battalion left fifteen generals in the Zhonghou Institute, this artillery is not as behemoth as the red-clothed cannon, it belongs to the field artillery of the Huzun cannon, the body is under the hands, but the power is very great, all of them were dragged from the city to the other side by Li Yan, more than ten flower shells are so close, falling into the dense camp, the consequences can be imagined.
Coupled with the sudden arrival of an ambush behind the battle, the Qing army was now in a far worse situation than Duoduo imagined.
Because, the army's morale is in turmoil and demoralized!
The combat power of an army is closely related to the spirit of the army, and the spirit of the army is scattered, no matter how sharp the knife is, no matter how strong the horse is, it can only be slaughtered by others.
What's more, Li Yan's troops are twice as strong as him.
What's more, for the thief, he is ruthless!
When the country and the people were brutalized, they were ruthless when they fought with the Ming army, and the Qing army at this time was also ruthless!
Li Yan's army, all of whom were captured by thieves or surrendered, changed their ways overnight and became officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but they were all the same as Li Yan in their hearts, desperately eager for an opportunity to prove themselves and needed a sense of identity. Agree that they are Ming officers and soldiers, not thieves!
This is also Li Yan's use to mobilize their morale before going out of the city: to prove that our opportunity has come, this battle only needs to be won, and no one will dare to look down on us in the future, we are dignified and upright Ming officers and soldiers, the Qing army marched for a long time, people were tired and tired, and the strength was only half of ours, and if we didn't win with two or one, it would be better to die head-on......
The combat effectiveness of the thief army is not worse than that of the Qing army, which has been verified in the history of the Qing army when it entered the Shanhaiguan battle, when Li Zicheng's men and horses and Wu Sangui fought for a day, when the people were tired and tired, the Qing army iron cavalry took advantage of the danger of the people to attack, it was still several times Li Zicheng beat almost unable to parry, the critical moment or Dolgon changed tactics, to Duoduo with cavalry back and forth, finally barely won, but not glorious at all!
Having said that, that force is Li Zicheng's main force, and the cavalry led by Li Yan is only a piece of capture from the Middle East, and its combat strength is only ordinary.
But again, thieves have a ruthless energy, especially when they occupy a certain advantage and urgently need to prove themselves, they are even more vicious and cruel.
At this time, Li Yan's men and horses had already exerted this viciousness to the fullest, crossed the river by stepping on the snow, and rushed into the Qing army, and the two armies fought for their lives on the surface of the Liuzhou River and the north bank!
