Chapter 859: Fire Suppression

As soon as the day dawned, Huang Degong went to the bank of the Yellow River to observe the terrain, he knew that this was a tough battle, the Qing army blocked the ferry on the opposite bank, and used the steep terrain to condescendingly arrange heavy defense, crossing the river undoubtedly attacked a big city, and there were no ladders and other siege equipment at hand, all relying on the flesh and blood of the soldiers to fill.

Huang Degong carefully looked at the vicinity of the ferry outside Binzhou City several times, found a few relatively flat attack points, and then transferred troops to practice, and when the men and horses on the east and west wings moved, he would order a forced crossing.

The Ming army mobilized troops and horses by the river early in the morning, and the Qing army on the other side did not dare to be careless, and the main general Kong Youde scolded after hearing the news, got up from the bed and ran to the shore to observe for a long time, and then showed a look of disdain.

He deployed more than 10,000 troops on the shore, the main force concentrated on the ferry outside Binzhou City to confront the Ming army, and sent troops to watch all the shoal ferries within ten miles of the east and west wings, he can mobilize the ten miles of defense line, no matter where the Ming army launched an attack, he has time to deal with it calmly, even if the Ming army divides troops to attack from different points, he can also arrange accordingly to resist the enemy on the opposite bank with the natural danger of the riverbank.

Let them toss, Kong Youde sneered, at most he only needs to drag them for two days, once Qingzhou City is broken, it will be meaningless if the Ming army crosses the river or not.

Maybe it won't take two days, maybe the army will surrender as soon as the army arrives outside Qingzhou City, Kong Youde is very optimistic.

However, the reality is cruel!

Just when he was about to leave the riverside and return to the small village not far away to catch up on sleep, suddenly the sky was clear, which startled Kong Youde, and looked up at the sky, Dongfang Hongtong saw that the sun was about to come out, how could this be a good weather......

Boom, screams endlessly, Kong Youde looked horrified, turned his head to see the smoke billowing from the riverside, and countless shells roaring from the opposite bank,

The Ming army actually suppressed it with artillery, and then launched an attack.

Artillery? Where did you get so many artillery! Kong Youde was stunned for a while, and he was anxious to go to the shore to see what was going on, but suddenly he shrank back, and the cannonball was not long.

Tiger squat cannon, also known as mountain field cannon from Qi Shaobao's patent, because of its light weight and easy to carry, specially designed for the use of thieves in the mountains, this time out of Beijing Changyu Lingshen Battalion to carry this cannon more to help the war, at that time in the camel battalion had helped Huang Degong to make the first contribution, and now it is powerful again.

Nearly 100 field artillery long-range suppression, bombardment of the Qing army's position on the other bank, plus more than 3,000 muskets of the Shenji Battalion, where can the Qing army on the other side of the river bear, screaming and retreating again and again, and at this time Huang Degong took the opportunity to lead the army across the river, and easily rushed to the opposite bank under the suppression of artillery.

This move made Zhou Yuji and Tu Yuan, who were a few miles away on both wings, feel too surprised by them, and the main attack passed so easily?

Then what are we waiting for, I was still thinking of going farther, but at this time, I saw that Huang Degong couldn't manage so much when he landed there, so he moved directly.

Kong Youde never dreamed that the moat in his eyes would be broken through so easily by the Ming army, thousands of muskets and more than 100 artillery pieces were concentrated in one place to bombard, although the power was not as strong as that of later generations, but it was enough to make people frightened in this year.

The position of the Qing army has been overturned by artillery fire, and the soldiers fled in a hurry, Kong Youde was shocked and angry, but he also knew that he could not easily let the Ming army kill him like this, so he ordered the soldiers and horses to retreat for several miles and gather, and then kill the Ming army when they came ashore and their heels were unstable.

I have to say that this is a ruthless move, if you bombard, I will withdraw, as soon as your soldiers and horses go ashore, the firepower will inevitably stop, and then I will kill again, and it is more than enough to kill you with the strong combat power of the Qing army.

In fact, it was indeed as Kong Youde expected, when Huang De's troops rushed to the shore, the rear fire stopped, and the Qing army killed him in a roar.

It's just that......

Huang Degong ordered the soldiers to shoot a rain of arrows, and then retracted, and the Qing army rushed to the shore to usher in another fire attack on the opposite shore, and immediately retreated in embarrassment.

So repeatedly, you can almost betray Kong Youde's morality, Lao Tzu will not be evil, since you like to play, then accompany you to consume!

It's just that Li Yan didn't want to spend time with him, and when Huang Degong rushed ashore for the fourth time, Kong Youde ordered the soldiers and horses to kill again, and pay attention to the artillery on the opposite bank, and retreat immediately once the shelling was fired.

However, this time the artillery on the other side did not sound, and the Ming army did not retreat back to the riverbank, but directly fought head-on, and this time it almost flashed to the waist of the Qing army, and it almost collapsed, but fortunately, it still withstood it.

The two armies were fighting on the bank, the Qing army was mostly cavalry, while the Ming army was mostly infantry because of the horse crossing the river, and the combat power was obviously weaker.

This made Kong Youde confused, why did he suddenly work hard with infantry, why did the soldiers and horses be equal to himself, and the rest?

, it's not good, almost subconsciously looked to both sides, and sure enough, the Ming cavalry from a few miles away on the east and west wings came together.

Withdraw! Kong Youde was afraid that he would be surrounded, and where would he dare to fight, so he immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.

The Qing army was all cavalry, advancing and retreating freely, and it was like the wind, and it ran away in a blink of an eye.

Huang Degong laughed, raised his knife and pointed at the fleeing back of the Qing army: "Fuck you, the deflated calf is running so fast!" He shouted to Tu Yuan and Zhou Yuji, who arrived with their troops: "I came in time, if I am late, I am afraid that I will hurt my muscles and bones."

Tu Yuan laughed: "I and General Zhou are both stuck, how can we make General Huang feel pain."

"Okay, this favor is received by Huang Chuangzi, go back to Qingzhou City and ask for a wine pipe!"

"Rub, when you arrive in Qingzhou City, Lao Tzu wants to drink the wine of Guangheng Palace, who can look down on your wine." Tu Yuan couldn't help but lick his mouth when he thought of wine: "I haven't drunk for a long time" Huang Degong sighed even more: "Don't talk about the fine wine of Hengwangfu, this will be adding urine to the bad wine, and I will drink it too" He smacked his lips and raised his hand to point to the southeast: "Let's go, Hengwangfu will drink."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to drink the wine of Hengwangfu for a while" Zhou Yuji came over with a smile at this time, and Huang Degong was stunned: "Why ......?"

"Guo Ren, why are you here, Gonggong" At this time, Tu Yuan behind him suddenly shouted, pushed Huang away, walked to Zhou Yuji's side, and grabbed the tired Guo Ren.

"The factory asked me to invite you to drink" Guo Ren smiled, he was ordered to pass the message without a trace of delay, beat his horse and galloped north, in order to avoid encountering the Qing army, he made a detour from the west.

Running more than 100 miles to the bank of the Yellow River all night coincided with the battle between the two armies.

"The little overseer is in Linzi at this time" Huang Degong was stunned: "Where is Linzi?" ”

Guo Ren raised his hand and pointed due south: "Go straight down to Boxing County."

"There is wine in Linzi?" Huang Degong smiled and licked his mouth, in fact, he had many opportunities to get wine along the way, such as when he was in Binzhou on the other side, he could go into the city to buy wine, but he didn't dare! The little eunuch has strict military discipline, and Li Yan is a cold-blooded judge.

"Not only wine, but also meat, the factory governor has even prepared grain and grass for you" As soon as the words fell, the surrounding soldiers cheered.

At this time, Li Yan also crossed the river and arrived here, and when he heard that the little eunuch had sent someone to report the news, he was also relieved and happy when he heard it, and he was worried about whether Cheng Ming could get food, otherwise there was still a hundred miles of road in front of him, and there was a Qing army blocking him, and he didn't know if he could survive for a few days.

Of course, he can draw inferences from the situation and analyze more information from a few sentences.

Has been following behind the Qing army will be blocked, if chased outside the city of Qingzhou affects Dolgon to break the city, he is very likely to concentrate his forces to counterattack and defeat the tail behind, Li Yan has self-knowledge, this kind of field in the battle strength of the Ming army is not able to defeat the Qing army, then it will inevitably have to retreat more than ten miles away.

But if he goes south directly from this and doesn't chase him, the Qing army will not have anything to do to stop him, so that the Ming army can go to Linzi to rest and replenish his physical strength and advance east to contain the Qing army.

"This is the Beiyang River, from the southwest of Qingzhou City in the mountains to the northeast into the territory of Guangrao, the Tartars will cross the east bank of the Beiyang River at the junction of Guangrao and Qingzhou, and then go south to camp on the bank of the Nanyang River outside the city of Qingzhou, the Nanyang River is very close to the city, it is a moat, but the drought and less water, there is the same as nothing" The situation is tough to take a branch and draw on the ground:", Linzi is about fifty miles in the northwest corner of Qingzhou, and the Beiyang River is separated by ......"

Beiyang River! Li Yan meditated.
