Text Chapter 1136 Pretending
Li Zicheng went to the residential areas in the city to help the prefect Guo Moguang pacify the Han people in the city, he is the emperor, on behalf of the Chinese court, he went to visit the people, and he can appease the people's hearts even more.
As soon as he returned to the camp, his own soldiers sent a message from the front, Li Zicheng glanced at it, and laughed unconsciously: "Dolgon actually fought alone with the third battalion, it seems that he has not yet accepted the lesson at the foot of Helan Mountain and outside Ningyuan City!"
He Xiaomi served Li Zicheng hot tea, and after listening to the good news from Erdaopo, his face was irrepressible joy, "Your Majesty, Dolgon is only 30,000 cavalry, and this time there are 3,000 casualties, which is a full percent!"
"The casualties this time are the Mongolian flag," Li Zicheng shook his head, "The Manchu cavalry did not hurt their muscles and bones, and Li Xin still has to fight!"
"Fortunately, we have no casualties, the Mongolian flag is also part of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the casualties of the Mongolian flag also consume the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!"
"If it is consumed in this way, it will not be long before the Manchu cavalry will die sooner or later," Li Zicheng sipped his tea and said, "Dolgon has suffered such a big loss this time, and he will definitely change the way he fights." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, General Li, what should they do?"
"Cold salad!" Li Zicheng looked at He Xiaomi, who was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and said slowly: "If Dolgon changes the way he fights, won't Li Xin change?" In the battle of Erdaopo, the number of people on both sides was equal, and the result was that the Mandate of Heaven army completely annihilated the Mongol banner, and the cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty would also be terrified in their hearts, and the psychological advantage they had accumulated over the Han people over the decades would disappear little by little, which was already a huge success. ”
“……”
"Dolgon is to defend Shengjing with all the strength of the whole country, once defeated, there will be panic in his heart," Li Zicheng narrowed his eyes and muttered: "To completely annihilate this cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is not realistic in a short period of time, Li Xin must be waiting for the opportunity, waiting for Dolgon to make a mistake......"
"The Emperor's ......"
Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Xiaomi, don't worry, there will be a message from Erdaopo soon, let's appease the people in Liaoyang City first, by the way, how are the captured Tartars now?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the prefect Guo said that the Tartars were half starved to death, and now they are willing to eat!"
"This Guo Moguang," Li Zicheng smiled slightly, "People are iron, rice is steel, no matter how strong the Tartar is, he can't endure the torture of hunger, right?" ”
"Unless they really don't want to live anymore," He Mi smiled coldly, "According to Lord Guo's guards, the Tartars have no water or food, so they hit the wall with their heads!"
…………………………………………………………………………
Erdaopo, the camp of the Mandate of Heaven.
After nightfall, the lights of the camp tent were turned off, and the soldiers began to sleep, only the core area on both sides, Li Xin's Chinese army tent and Zhou Fengwu's first division tent, were still holding the lamps.
Twenty or thirty miles south of the camp, black shadows emerged from the forest and behind the hillside, and the horses not only removed the bells, but also wrapped the soles of their feet with cotton cloth and fur, and thousands of cavalry quietly completed the assembly.
Man Dahai looked up at the sky, "Almost, warriors, let's run fifteen miles first, and the rest of the distance must be slowed down until we enter the camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army." ”
"Yes!" The herald passed the military orders of Mandahai to every soldier.
Horseshoe clatter!
The Qing cavalry was as fast as the wind, and it was fifteen miles in the blink of an eye.
Mandahai took the reins of his horse and slowly lowered his horse's speed, followed by twenty-three Niu Lu and six thousand nine hundred soldiers, who immediately slowed down their horses.
Everyone is the same, the order is forbidden!
Mandahai did not stop, but walked slowly, silently, not even hearing the sound of horses' hooves.
The night was very light, and there was no human figure to be seen more than a dozen paces away, and on such a night, unless the marching route of the Qing cavalry was found out in advance, it would be kicked by the horse's hooves, and it would be thought that some daredevils were throwing bricks at the partition wall.
Even the rangers of the Mandate of Heaven would not have thought that there would be such a cavalry detour to the rear!
At the beginning, Man Dahai was still a little apprehensive, and from time to time he pricked up his ears to listen to the movements around him, but thinking that this was the rear of the Heavenly Mandate Army, he was also relieved, the rangers of the Heavenly Mandate Army may be staring at the military camp of the Qing Dynasty in the distance!
If there is trouble, it is also a matter of the red flag Luo Luohun.
The distance of four or five miles is only more than half an hour.
It was surprisingly quiet, and in the rear of the Mandate of Heaven Army, there was not even a secret outpost.
Man Dahai measured the distance, and when there were only two or three miles left, he suddenly pulled out the scimitar at his waist, drew a semicircular arc to the right, and then stopped in mid-air, "Warriors, the time to attack has come, use your bows and arrows to shoot through the chest of the Han dog, use your scimitars, cut off the head of the Han dog, and throw the corpse to feed the wild wolf......"
"Rush, kill!"
"Kill the dog!"
"Avenge the Mongolian flag!"
……
Nearly 7,000 cavalry, howling and rushing towards the camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army, they no longer care about the bright posts and secret posts around the camp, in the face of absolute strength, all the bright posts and secret posts will be crushed into minced meat by the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty.
It is already close to the camp of the Mandate of Heaven Army, and it is too late for the Mandate Army to react now.
The cavalry of the Red Banner was divided into six columns, and each team fought bravely to be the first, all wanting to be the first to break through the camp of the Mandate of Heaven and make the first contribution.
When the infantry encounters a sneak attack by cavalry, that is Mianyang, waiting to be slaughtered, who doesn't want to pick up a few Han people's heads and go back to make meritorious contributions? The head of the Han dog can be exchanged for cattle, sheep, and silver, and if the flag owner and the regent of the emperor's uncle are happy, he may also reward a watery Han girl......
Man Dahai knew that there must be thistles, horses and other blocking cavalry outside the camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and the camp itself would also have a wooden fence, but he didn't care.
The number of thistles is not too much, the damage to the cavalry is limited, and the horse rejection and fence can block the cavalry's advance, but he has prepared a long knife hand, as long as these obstacles are cut down, the cavalry can be unimpeded.
At the front of the line, there were dozens of long swordsmen, followed by archers, and at the back were the main force of the Red Banner.
The long knife hand was the first to approach the camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and there were indeed a lot of thistles on the ground, and the sharp edges and corners almost pierced the horse's shoe, and the war horse was in pain, and his body tilted violently, and at the same time he overturned the long knife hand on his back, he let out a burst of mournful sounds.
The Mandate of Heaven army in the camp found out that there was a cavalry sneak attack, and someone shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, go and report to the general......"
These words are already redundant, the screams of the long knife hand and the war horse have already alarmed the camp, at this time to meet the enemy, is it too late?
"Bang, bang, bang......"
Dozens of long knife hands, almost all of them were lost outside the camp of the Mandate of Heaven, and the archers behind took the long knives and became the new long knife soldiers, the number of thistles was limited, embedded in the corpses of men and horses, and the ground became a smooth road.
The long knife hand had already approached the rejection horse and began to "sweep" the rejection stakes exposed on the ground with the long knife.
"Whoosh!" The archers began to shoot arrows into the camp, they forgot the Mongolian flag that had been killed and wounded the day before, and they could only avenge the long knife hand who had just been killed and wounded, there must be a Mandate of Heaven army in the camp, they would prevent the long knife hand from breaking the camp, and these soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven Army were their shooting targets.
The night was dark, the camp was dark, and the situation was not seen at all, and the archers could only shoot blindly into the camp.
Suddenly there were screams in the camp, followed by some "bang" gunshots, but the gunshots were relatively sparse, and the number of people who returned fire was obviously not much.
Perhaps seeing through the intention of the red flag, all the bullets were directed at the long knife hand and the archers, but they were not shot.
The long knife hand suffered heavy casualties, and the manpower was changed again and again, and the horses had not been completely cut off, and the cavalry behind still could not storm the camp, not to mention that the camp itself still had a fence.
Mandahai is in a hurry, for so long, the rejection of horses has not been cleared, when will the camp be breached? Perhaps Luo Luohun's red flag has already come from the north.
"Double-double the manpower and clear the horse rejection and fence as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
What Man Dahai didn't expect was that the number of long knife hands that cleared the rejection of the horse increased, but the speed of the removal did not increase, but attracted a more dense gunfire.
In the camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army, the screams were unconscious, and the sound was high and low, obviously rolling.
Man Dahai smiled meaningfully, in order to block the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty from attacking the camp, this time, the casualties of the Heavenly Mandate Army should be not small, right?
Who knows how the two wastes of Zhumala and Kakai were made, with 3,000 casualties, and not even the hair of the Heavenly Mandate Army......
Inside and outside the camp, there was a stalemate for a while, Man Dahai kept changing his long knife hand, dragging the casualties back in order to make way for the passage, and the screams of the Heavenly Mandate Army in the camp were getting denser and denser, if you listened carefully, there was a long wheezing sound, and then some voices disappeared......
Shuangrang is obviously competing for attrition, and it depends on who can't bear the casualties of the soldiers.
Man Dahai frowned, he could bear the casualties of the warriors, the warriors were originally born to fight, and the casualties on the battlefield were their best destination.
However, he had to race against time.
The longer it passes, the more Celestial Mandate troops will come to block it, and the more difficult it will be to break the camp, or even if they can break through the Celestial Mandate army's camp, the casualties will be heavier.
Luo Luohun's inlaid red flag will receive the positive red flag from the north......
Zhenghongqi is the main force of this sneak attack, could it be that the red flag is the first to break through the camp of the Mandate of Heaven and take the lead?
Mandahai was in a hurry, and he didn't care about the casualties of the warriors, "Send more manpower, and at any cost, sweep away the horses and fences as soon as possible, and break through the camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army." ”
"Yes!"
When this military order came out, the cavalry of the red flag immediately increased the intensity of the attack, and hundreds of cavalry rushed forward, the long knife was no longer enough, so they had to use the scimitar they carried, the scimitar was very unsmooth, but it was better than nothing.
However, the cavalry in the back had not yet approached the main camp, and the cavalry in front had already fallen to the ground, and the gunfire of the Heavenly Mandate Army had become dense little by little.
After dragging away the casualties, the cavalry in the rear just filled the gap and joined the ranks of clearing the horses and fences.
In a corner of the camp of the Mandate of Heaven, a small flag officer had just shot a bullet and was loading ammunition in the dark, not beware of being collided by a rolling soldier, the bullet fell to the ground, and he kicked away the pretending soldier, "Stop rolling, according to the general's arrangement, you screamed for so long, you should have 'died' a long time ago, and you can't get up to shoot?" ”
