Chapter 761: Night Attack on the Qing Army's Camp
761 night attack on the Qing army camp
[Today's chapter is presented, please subscribe! ] 】
At the beginning of October, Hongzui Fort on the Liaodong Peninsula, the Qing army garrisoned a large camp.
The war in Liaodong has never been interrupted since the Zhenliao Army led by Liu Chong and Zhou Dazhu defended Jinzhou.
Dolgondu led his army to attack twice, both of which were defeated, and then the Qing army has been stationed at the Red Beak Fort north of Jinzhou, and the two sides have been fighting frequently.
Although the Qing army did not launch a major offensive, the small fighting between the two sides has never stopped.
Huang Taiji is now dreaming of recapturing Jinzhou and pulling out the knife that the White Dragon Army has pierced the heart of the Tartars.
But Liu Chong's Jinzhou defense line was simply impregnable, and the Tartars attacked several times, but they suffered heavy losses and returned home.
The fortress defenses built by the White Dragon Army on the Great Black Mountain alone have already made the Tartars desperate.
For a long time, on the Liaodong Peninsula, it was the Qing army that attacked, and Liu Chong's Zhenliao Army defended.
However, with the Qing army entering the pass and plundering in September, the Qing army settled down for the first time on the Liaodong Peninsula and no longer attacked Jinzhou.
Huang Taiji divided the Qing army that remained outside the pass into two parts.
Part of it was guarded on the Liaodong Peninsula and was vigilant against Liu Chong's Zhenliao Army, which was commanded by the Qing army general Ao Bai, mainly with a red flag inlaid with Tartars and a white flag inlaid with the Han army, with a total of 30,000 horses.
The rest of the Qing army was deployed in the Shengjing area, which was the Yellow Banner of Huang Taiji's descendant.
Because the main force entered the pass and plundered, the Tartars stopped on the Liaodong side and no longer attacked Jinzhou, but Liu Chong was not ready to stop.
"Damn, it's always been you who attack Lao Tzu, and if you want to fight this time, you can't do it."
Liu Zhong planned in Jinzhou and took the initiative to attack the battle plan of the Tartars.
Immediately, Liu Chong sent people to ask Li Zixiao about their idea of taking the initiative to attack.
At that time, Li Zixiao had just led his army north to resist the Qing army.
After receiving Liu Chong's instructions, Li Zixiao also felt that it was also very good for Liu Chong and them to take the opportunity to be outside the customs at this time, adding to the blockage of the Tartars.
After all, the reason why Li Zixiao let Liu Chong and them take root in Jinzhou was not to disgust the Tartars, and when necessary, they stabbed the Tartars, and now the opportunity has come.
So, Li Zixiao gave Liu Chong and replied: Whether to attack or not is up to the three of you to decide after discussion, but there is a premise, that is, Jinzhou cannot be lost.
Li Zixiao's meaning is very clear, that is, to tell Liu Chong that they will not fight the Qing army, let them decide according to the situation, but whether they fight or not, win or not, but Jinzhou must not be lost.
After Liu Chong received Li Zixiao's reply, he and Zhou Dazhu and Li Sheng, and the three decided to proceed as originally planned.
The three of them had been planning for nearly half a month to take the initiative to attack the Tartars, and finally at the beginning of October, they were ready to start.
This time, Liu Chong prepared to lead 15,000 men and horses to attack the Tartars, and secretly took advantage of the night on October 3 to send troops from Liangang, and the target was the Tartars' garrison camp at Hongzui Fort.
This time, Liu Zhong personally led the troops, and Zhou Dazhu and Li Sheng stayed in Jinzhou.
Liu Chong, Zhou Dazhu and Li Sheng discussed for a long time, but they still gave up the plan of sending troops directly from Jinzhou and going north to attack the Tartars to garrison the camp at Hongzui Fort.
In fact, from the area of Red Mouth Fort in the Golden State Belt, the area of the Great Black Mountain in the south is now the territory of the White Dragon Army scouts.
Further north, near the area of Fort Redmouth, is the territory of the Tartar Scouts.
And the narrow peninsula corridor from Jinzhou to the north is no more than a few dozen miles wide from east to west, and it is full of scouts on both sides.
An army of more than 15,000 people of the Zhenliao Army wanted to go north by land and attack the Qing army's garrison camp in Hongzui Fort without the enemy discovering it, which was simply impossible.
Liu Chong and the three of them discussed for a long time, and finally they decided to use the power of the White Dragon Army Navy.
The army set out from Liangang and transported them by ship to the north of Fort Hongzui, looking for a hidden landing site and secretly landing.
Then, launching a sneak attack on them from behind the Qing army, Liu Zhong believed that the Tartars would probably not have guessed such a plan for them.
Immediately, Liu Chong contacted Hong Sheng, the deputy commander of the White Dragon Army and the navy stationed in Dengzhou at this time, and Hong Sheng also agreed with Liu Chong's attack plan after hearing about it.
Hong Sheng immediately sent ships to the north in advance to find a concealed and suitable landing site for Liu Chong and them.
Soon, the ships sent by Hong Sheng found a hidden landing place between Fort Guifu and Fort Huanggudao on the east coast of the Liaodong Peninsula.
On 3 October, Hong Sheng mobilized more than 100 transport ships and secretly set out from Liangang overnight under the protection of a naval fleet to transport them to the landing site in the north.
At this time, the entire Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea are already the inland seas of the White Dragon Army's naval fleet, and if one of the Tartar warships comes out, one will be destroyed.
Therefore, it is impossible for the Tartars to discover their fleet at sea.
This also allowed Liu Chong, 15,000 men and horses, without the Tartars noticing, to land on a beach ten miles north of Guifu Fort.
After Liu Zhong led the army to land, he first let more than 15,000 soldiers rest for a day.
On the evening of the 4th, Liu Chongcai led his army to bypass Guifu Fort and went straight to the Qing garrison camp at Hongzui Fort in the south.
As the sky grew dark, the whole land fell silent.
In the middle of the Qing army camp in Hongzui Fort, there is a large tent, which is the marshal tent of Abatai, who is the military commander of this Qing army garrison camp.
At the same time, his deputies and the guards all worshipped, and the Han army inlaid with white flags all commanded Qi Qing.
At this moment, in Abatai's tent, a group of Tartar generals were sitting separately, in front of a low wooden table, on which were plates of barbecued cooked food.
In front of them, there was a jar of wine, and beside these Tartar generals, a young woman sat pouring wine for them.
In the middle of this group of Tartar generals, there sat a big man in red armor, and the laughter was deafening.
This big man is about 1.78 meters tall, with a beard on his face, and he is pouring a bowl of wine into his mouth at the moment, which is known as the first Baturu of the Tartars.
"Hahaha! Joyfully! ”
After drinking a bowl of wine, Ao Bai shouted loudly, then looked at the young woman next to him, put the bowl on the wooden table, and said coldly: "Pour wine!" ”
"My lord, I'm out of alcohol." The young woman's voice trembled.
"Aobai, it's okay, Ben Shuai allows you to drink, just drink a little, what's the matter, do you still want to get drunk?"
At this time, Abatai, who was sitting on the seat of the master of the tent, glared at Ao Bai and said.
"Haha, how can it be, this drink can't be tried at all for me to worship.
Dashuai, anyway, we won't attack Golden State now, so let's have some wine! ”
Ao Bai did not give up, and continued to plead.
Abatai shook his head, took a sip of wine, and nibbled on the leg of lamb.
Seeing that Abatai did not agree, and did not dare to be too presumptuous, Ao Bai stopped drinking, picked up a boiled leg of mutton, and ate it in a big gulp.
"I don't know how many people, money and food have been looted by the two princes at this time, it's ridiculous, we don't have our share in this entry.
If you have to receive it here, you can't do anything with those timid dogs in the southern Golden State. ”
There are Tartar generals who complained at this time.
As the sky was completely dark, the Qing army garrison camp in Hongzui Fort was still brightly lit.
Tonight, the Qing army camp is very lively, Huang Taiji ordered people to send supplies, tonight Abatai at the request of Ao Bai and Qi Qing and other generals, is it allowed to drink less wine, kill pigs and sheep, reward soldiers, and improve morale.
And when the Qing army was stationed in the camp, when the Qing soldiers drank and ate meat, they didn't know that in the north behind them, a white dragon army was quietly killing them.
"Whoosh, hum!"
On the periphery of the Qing army's garrison camp, three Qing soldiers who were standing guard on duty suddenly shot three black shadows from a distance, each of them let out a muffled snort, and then they all fell together.
Then, several black shadows rushed over and quickly dragged the bodies of the three Qing soldiers into the grass.
"Remove the obstacles and move on."
Several white-dragon soldiers dressed in black gestured to each other, and then quickly rushed in the other direction, with short knives pinned to their waists and small crossbows in their hands.
This is the vanguard team sent by Liu Chong, all of them are the most elite scouts, and they are responsible for clearing the sentry posts outside the Qing army camp.
"Whoosh!"
In other directions, there were also several such White Dragon Army scout squads, cleanly and neatly taking out a Qing army sentry.
Their arrows were all fed with poison, and when they saw the blood sealing their throats, they were killed with one blow.
Moreover, the battle went even more smoothly than they expected.
The Qing army set up too few sentry posts in the north behind them, and the only few secret posts were also solved by the White Dragon Army scouts.
After all, Abatai and Ao Bai couldn't think that Liu Chong would dare to take the initiative to attack them, and they would kill them from behind.
"Is it all settled?"
"Well, the light and dark posts of the Qing army in the north of the camp garrison of the Qing army have all been killed, and it's time to send a signal to the general."
"Okay, you two go back and tell the general."
Several teams of White Dragon Army scouts finally gathered together and communicated.
A moment later, a group of soldiers of the White Dragon Army outside the Qing army camp quietly touched the periphery of the Qing army camp.
At this time, they could even hear the shouting of the Qing soldiers in the camp tent.
The sentry posts outside the camp of the Qing army were all solved by the scouts of the White Dragon Army, but the patrolling Qing soldiers in the camp were not easy to solve by the scouts of the White Dragon Army.
At this time, he was already very satisfied with the only way to let Liu Chong's army cover it up, and to let Liu Chong lead the army and quietly touch the outside of the Qing army's camp.
The degree of laxity of the Tartars far exceeded Liu Chong's expectations, at this moment they could touch the outside of the Tartar camp with the whole army, and this sneak attack could basically be said to have won half of the victory.
"Later, we will fight in, our soldiers will be divided into three ways, and this general will personally lead one way to take the big tent of the Tartar Chinese army.
Zeng Yong, you lead the way and attack from the east, Ou Yangming, you lead the way to kill from the west.
Remember, your first goal is the Tartar horse ring, and when the time comes, you can directly set fire to disperse all the Tartar horses.
Don't let the Tartars find their horses and kill them in three souths, you know? ”
Liu Zhong whispered to the two White Dragon Army generals in front of him.
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
"Okay, get ready to attack."
"Kill!"
A moment later, Liu Chong roared angrily, and a group of white dragon sergeants roared and rushed into the Qing garrison camp.
Whoosh!
At the same time, rockets were fired into the Qing army camp and hit those tents, which immediately ignited a fire.
"Enemy sneak attack!"
A group of patrolling Qing soldiers, looking at the large number of white dragon soldiers who suddenly entered the camp from the north, their faces turned pale, and they roared loudly.
Poof!
Immediately, this group of more than ten Qing soldiers patrolled up by the soldiers of the White Dragon Army who rushed up and turned into corpses in one place.
"Ahhh
Immediately afterwards, the terrible screams resounded in the garrison camp of the Qing army.
Those Qing soldiers who heard the shouts and rushed out of the tent in a hurry, some of them didn't even put on their armor, and some didn't even find their weapons.
"Kill!"
A white dragon sergeant was excited, roaring, brandishing long knives and spears, and slaughtered the Qing soldiers who appeared.
Whew!
Many of the White Dragon soldiers were shooting rockets at the tents, and soon a raging fire broke out.
The entire Qing army camp started from the north and quickly became chaotic, and many of them just rushed out of the tent and fell down with a blank face.
Liu Zhong personally led the elite of the 5,000 White Dragon Army, and half of the soldiers were composed of his old subordinates 'trapped in the camp', and they were like a broken bamboo from the middle road, killing the Qing army camp where the Chinese army was.
"What's going on?"
Knowing that the north side was blazing, the shouts of killing were deafening, and the screams were continuous, the Tartar generals such as Abatai and Aobai in the tent of the Chinese army noticed it.
"Report! Qi Belle, the Ming army has entered the camp from the north. ”
It didn't take long for a panicked Qing soldier to hurriedly run to Abatai and report eagerly.
When Abatai and Aobai rushed out of their tents, they saw that most of the tents of the camp to the north of them were on fire.
A team of white dragon soldiers and horses were killing towards them, and all the Qing soldiers along the way were killed, panicked, and scattered Qing soldiers, in the face of these white dragon soldiers, they had no power to fight back at all, and they were killed.
At this moment, Abatai, Ao Bai and the others were gloomy, they knew that they were careless this time, and they really planted it, but they didn't expect Liu Chong to really come to attack them at night, or from the north.
However, Abatai was worthy of being a veteran of the Qing army, and immediately reacted, shouting loudly to Ao Bai next to him: "Ao Bai, you lead people to block the offensive of the White Snake Army."
The rest of the generals immediately returned to their departments and gathered men and horses to fight. ”
"Yes!"
The surrounding angry Qing army generals immediately responded in unison, and then quickly returned to the various departments to resist the attack of the White Dragon Army.
"You guys, follow Ben in the future, kill!"
After Ao Bai received Abatai's order, he immediately shouted to the many Qing soldiers around him, and led them to kill Liu Chong's middle road.
Puff puff!
The soldiers of the 'trapped camp' led by Liu Chong, like a sharp spear, were unstoppable, scattering and killing all the Qing soldiers who appeared along the way, and went straight to the tent of the Chinese army commander in Abatai.
And the gold-topped daqi on Abatai's handsome account is the goal to guide Liu Chong!
