Chapter 1016: The Eve of the Decisive Battle
Under Lianshan Pass, 30,000 Wei troops built a camp, and less than ten miles away, there was a camp of 40,000 Qing troops and more than 60,000 dependents.
At night, the Qing cavalry carried out a small-scale sneak attack on the Wei army, rockets were fired, and more than a dozen tents were burned, but the Qing cavalry suffered heavy losses under the bombardment of thistles and firearms, and it was not worth a quarter of an hour.
On the eve of the battle, in order to occupy a favorable position, both sides sent infantry troops and rangers to intersperse the area controlled by the other side, and the gunfire broke out in the night, and from time to time a ball of white light broke out, and the two sides fought for a small half of the night, killing and wounding hundreds of people, before acquiescing to the range controlled by the other side and no longer sending troops to fight.
On the third watch, the commanders of the two armies did not sleep, and even under the mountain pass, Li Dingguo was squinting and watching, and the Wei army cavalry was entangled with the Qing cavalry.
"Governor, the war starts tomorrow morning, you should rest!" Bai Wenxuan stood behind Li Dingguo and opened his mouth to remind.
Li Dingguo looked at the lights in the Qing army camp ten miles away, and sighed: "Wen Xuan, when we were all over the Central Plains, we thought that the opponent was Li Zicheng and the Ming Dynasty, and no one cared. ”
Bai Wenxuan nodded, "Yes!" Who would have thought that a small clan of hundreds of thousands of people would almost steal an artifact, but fortunately, Your Majesty was wise and powerful, and turned things around, otherwise we would be a fourth-class person again. ”
Li Dingguo raised his hand and pointed to the camp in the distance, "This situation will never happen, now Haoge is blocked in Lianshan Pass, as long as he is swept away, we can completely solve this hidden danger." ”
Bai Wenxuan nodded heavily, "We have been fighting with the Tartars for so many years, and we are finally going to end this long war. ”
"It's time to finish!" Li Dingguo sighed, and then ordered with a solemn expression: "Send the order to go down, strengthen the patrol, send out rangers in the second half of the night, continue to attack the Qing camp, let the scouts closely monitor the Qing camp, pay attention to the time when they bury the pot and cook, and finally order the soldiers who have no task to seize the time to rest." ”
Bai Wenxuan immediately clenched his fists solemnly, "Oh! ”
Li Dingguo glanced at Qingying, which was like a sea of stars, and murmured: "Haoge, let's see tomorrow!" ”
Ten miles away, in the Qing army camp, Hao Ge was wearing armor, holding a war knife in his hand, looking at the Wei army camp from afar, and said with a somewhat melancholy expression: "If the battle is defeated tomorrow, the Qing Dynasty will be doomed." ”
Sony, Yue Le and the others twitched their cheeks, and Sony said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, there are only 30,000 Wei thieves on the other side, if we defeat Li Dingguo and kill this thief, the Wei thieves will definitely not be able to attack North Korea for several years, and my Qing Dynasty still has a lot to do." ”
Hauge smiled self-deprecatingly on his face, "A few years ago, when I swept through the Guannei, if I destroyed Gao Yihuan, the thief, it would be really promising, and now ~~~~~~"
Yue Le frowned and said: "Lord Su, how powerful the Sui Dynasty was back then, Emperor Yang conquered Goguryeo three times, and suffered huge losses, but he failed to conquer it. A thousand years ago, the Goguryeo people were able to compete with the powerful and unified Sui Dynasty, so why can't we contend with the unfinished Gao Yihuan? Promote peace with war, as long as you hurt the Wei thief, the Qing Dynasty still has a chance! ”
Haoge was a little excited when he heard this: "Yue Le, what you said is reasonable, we do still have a chance." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the full generals behind him, and said in a deep voice, "In the battle tomorrow, this king will definitely defeat the Wei thief and continue the foundation in the eight roads of Haidong." ”
Sonny and the others all cheered up, "Defeat the Wei thief and continue the national ancestry." ”
Haoge looked at the Wei army camp with a solemn expression, "It's a pity that Gao Yihuan is not here." ”
After the third watch, the night was darker, and only in the two military camps, there were pieces of torches lit, like two nebulae in the dark universe.
At such a close distance, no one could hide from anyone, both sides were lit with torches, and every move was in the eyes of the other.
At this time, Hauge had already ordered the soldiers and dependents of each battalion to recuperate and prepare for the next big battle, but the rockets that rose from time to time outside the camp continued to harass the Qing army camp, and the tents in the camp were ignited by rockets from time to time, so that the Qing soldiers and their dependents were always shrouded in fear, making it difficult for the soldiers and their dependents to sleep.
In the camp, the camp was full of people who couldn't sleep, and they simply prepared for tomorrow's decisive battle in advance.
An old man with a gray head removed the wooden board on the bed, tore off another piece of the quilt, nailed it to the wooden board, and then said to a little Tartar who was more than ten years old next to him: "Amu Lei, you take this, before leaving the camp tomorrow, wet the quilt with water, which can guard against the fire of the Wei thief." ”
"Amma, what about you?" The young tartar asked.
The old Tartar smiled slightly, "Ama has been in battle for a long time, and when he was in Sarhu, he followed the old man to kill the barbarians, so he didn't need this!" ”
As he spoke, he looked at the tent, and the others, either old or young, were basically incorporated into the Eight Banners.
"Brothers, there will be a battle tomorrow, and I don't know which of us will die or live, if I die, Amu Lei will leave it to you." The old tartar suddenly said in a deep voice.
With a sound of "poof", another Tartar returned the wiped war knife to the sheath, "Old Harry, if I die, Xiao Dongkan will be your grandson." ”
Inside the tent, the atmosphere was a little heavy, and more than a dozen Tartars silently wiped their weapons.
The old tartar suddenly laughed, "Okay, don't think about it, let's go to bed quickly, otherwise I won't have the strength to kill the Wei thief tomorrow, and if I am killed by the Wei thief, I will be wronged." ”
When many Tartars heard the words, they packed up their weapons one after another, lay down on their sides and fell asleep, and from time to time there were whispers to explain the aftermath.
~~~~~~
In the tent of the Wei army, Captain Li Ponu placed a tablet on the table, lit a pillar of incense, and then knelt down and kowtowed to the tablet, "Uncle Liu, it's been ten years, look at the three babies, and avenge you tomorrow!" ”
Ten years ago, Li Ponu was a border soldier on the side wall of Jizhen Town, when the Qing army entered the Kou, he fled to Shandong, participated in Gao Mingheng presided over the defense of Linqing, and then participated in the Jiangbei War, Zhu Cihong Northern Expedition, he belonged to Fang Guoan's left army, after the army was defeated by the Qing army, he was exiled in eastern Henan, was absorbed by Yuan Zongdi, and finally switched to the Wei army.
After Li Ponu finished worshipping, he stood up, "You can't hide wine in the army, and when you defeat the Tartars, I will take the head of the Tartars to pay tribute to Uncle Liu!" ”
~~~~~~
The rockets of the Wei army roared throughout the second half of the night, disturbing the Qing army, but there was no way.
These rockets can shoot two or three miles, and they can be investigated in the dark, but they are easy to fall into the trap of the Wei army, and the Qing army can only grit their teeth and hold on until dawn.
On the fifth watch, the Qing army camp first lit a fire to make rice, the scouts immediately reported to Li Dingguo, and the Wei army camp was also hot immediately, and a group of cavalry took the lead in eating and galloped out of the camp to occupy a better position for the army.
At the same time as the cavalry left the camp, the war drums beat in the barracks, the trumpets stretched, and the battalions turned from silence to noise one after another, and a great battle finally arrived.
