After confirming that it was the true holy decree and learning that the Wu army had arrived in the capital, Bahai ordered the Qing soldiers at the head of the city to put down the hanging baskets and pull the more than 200 white-armored soldiers outside to the head of the city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info then Bahai asked people to put on the incense case and officially receive the holy decree.

When Bahai received the holy decree, the white-armored soldier Bayala asked him to present a human head made of straw: "General, please see, this is the head of Wu Dog cut off in the camp when the minions just forcibly broke into the camp of Wu Rebellion!" There were a lot of scarecrows like this in the camp of Wu Wei, all of them wearing papier-mâché armor and facing away from the city wall. ”

Ba Hai took the head made of straw with a gloomy face, glanced at it, and was furious: "It turns out that we are all in Wu Rebellion!" There are not many people in Wu Ying's camp at all! ”

Another white-armored soldier also stepped forward and said: "General, the servants passed by the Wu army camp, and also saw several goats hanging upside down on wooden stakes, their front hooves on the drum surface, and as soon as the sheep struggled, they made a drum sound. ”

Leerjin said: "General, now the matter could not be more obvious! Wu reveled us with a suspicious tactic to fool us! Their main force bypassed Baoding and arrived in Beijing! In this way, we must return to the capital city as soon as possible! ”

Sabu Su stepped forward and said, "General, the servants discovered one thing during the day today: Wu Wei's convoy passed through their camp and went north around Baoding City. The convoy must be Wu Rei's grain and grass! We broke the camp of Wu Rebellion, and immediately chased after it, and we will be able to catch up with the Wu Rebellion grain and grass convoy! As long as the grain and grass of Wu Rebellion are destroyed, the army of Wu Rebellion besieging the Beijing Division will definitely collapse! ”

"Good!" Ba Hai nodded, "Mobilize the three armies overnight today, and go out of the city early tomorrow morning to take the Wu Yi camp!" When you break Wu Shun's camp, immediately chase north, be sure to catch up with Wu Shun's grain and grass convoy, and burn the grain and grass! ”

Sabusu said: "But Baoding City is very important, and it is necessary to leave some troops to defend the city. ”

Ba Haidao: "Then leave part of the green camp and the people to defend the city!" All the Eight Banners Warriors and the Green Camp Horse Team are out of town! The elite firearms infantry also went out of the city and followed General Ben to King Jingqin! ”

"Wow!"

That night, the Qing army in the city was in full swing to prepare, the third watch buried the stove to cook, and before the fourth watch, the Qing army in the city had already finished breakfast. Before dawn, the gate of the north of Baoding suddenly opened, and groups of Qing troops poured out of the city, and the tide generally killed the Wu army camp.

"Here comes the Tartars!" Wu Jun, who was stationed in the camp, exclaimed.

These defenders knew very well in their hearts that the number of Wu troops left behind was not much, only 5,000 people, and there were originally more than 11,000 people, Wu Sangui took more than 6,000 people, and only more than 5,000 people remained, which was completely suspicious.

The Qing army rushed out, but the Wu army only made a symbolic resistance, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the Qing army broke through the defensive line. The Wu army, which could not be resisted, fled one after another, and Bahai led the Qing army to kill him from the middle of the Wu army's camp. When passing through the middle of the Wu army's camp, Bahai saw that there were many dummies made of straw in the barracks, covered with papier-mâché armor, and the scarecrows were placed on small carts, which could be pushed back and forth, and they could not be seen at a distance.

Liu Xuanchu fled south with the "defeated" Wu army, and the Qing army was preparing to chase after him, but was stopped by Bahai: "Don't chase the poor Kou!" The thieves run south, we go north! ”

After the Qing army left Baoding City and broke through the camp of the Wu army, Bahai ordered to send scout cavalry to chase the official road in front to find the Wu army's grain transport team that passed yesterday.

"Wu Reverse grain baggage convoy must move slowly, and it is already the limit to be able to travel forty miles a day! The Wu Reverse Grain Transport Team only passed through Baoding yesterday, and it must not have gone far! Our cavalry chased after us, and it only took an hour and a half to catch up! Bahai asked Goshha to send an order, "Catch up with Wu and burn them, and then we will go to the capital to King Qin!" ”

The normal marching speed of the cavalry is not as fast as what you see on TV, one person with two horses or one person with three horses is faster, and in the case of one person and one horse, that is, one hour and eight kilometers, which is equivalent to one hour and thirty-two miles. The Wu army's baggage team marched at a speed of only 20 kilometers a day, almost 40 miles away, and the Qing cavalry could quickly catch up with the Wu army's baggage troops.

The Baijia Bayala sent by Bahai went to the front official road to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and the white-armored soldiers with one man and three horses came and went like flying, and the speed of the march could reach 20 kilometers per hour, that is, 80 miles in an hour. After a while, the Bayala soldiers sent by Bahai spotted the Wu army's baggage team that was marching in front.

"The Tartars are coming, formation!" Hu Guozhu, who was in charge of escorting grain and grass, shouted.

The heavy soldiers of the Wu army were ordered to immediately stop advancing, and the vehicles transporting grain and grass were connected end to end in a large circle, with mules and donkeys placed in the middle, and the soldiers escorting the grain and grass stood behind the vehicles, and the auxiliaries and Minzhuang were behind the soldiers, ready to meet the enemy in a chariot formation.

Even if the more than 100 Bayala soldiers were powerful, they did not dare to rush the Wu army's chariot formation. So a part of the Bayala soldiers was left to continue to keep an eye on the Wu army's baggage team, and the other part of the Baya soldiers rushed back to report the news.

"General!" The Baya soldiers who rushed back to report the news reported to Ba Hai, "We caught up with the Wu dog convoy in Yizhou!" Seeing us coming, Wu Gou stopped moving forward and formed a car formation. ”

Bahai was overjoyed: "Okay! Sons, go with General Ben! Destroy the Wu dog food and grass convoy today! ”

The cavalry of the Qing army pursued unhurriedly in the direction of the Wu army's baggage team, and the infantry also followed behind the cavalry, slowly trotting forward, followed by mules and horses pulling small cannons.

About an hour later, the Qing army saw the heavy troops of the Wu army forming a formation near Yizhou.

"General!" A Baya soldier in charge of keeping an eye came up to report, "There are cavalry in the Wu Dog Formation who have gone north to report the news!" When the minions came to Baoding, Wu Gou rarely arranged troops on the road, and Wu Gou, the closest Wu Dog, was also one hundred and twenty miles away! It will take a day to arrive at the earliest! ”

Ba Hai sneered: "Wu Gou, who goes to report the news, will have to report the news in a day at the earliest, right?" It's two days back and forth! Are you afraid that you won't be able to destroy the Wu dog food and grass convoy within two days? ”

After about half an hour, the infantry of the green battalion of the Qing army also arrived one after another. After the infantry was assembled, Bahai did not immediately order an attack, but let the infantry rest first. After about half an hour's rest, the Qing army began to attack the Wu army's car array.

More than a dozen small cannons of the Franc machine roared, and the shells whistled and smashed into the formation of Wu army's vehicles, the wooden planks shattered, and more than a dozen Wu soldiers fell down screaming. However, the effect of the artillery bombardment was not very good, because this baggage grain transport team was not in fact a convoy transporting grain, but a Wu army soldier dressed up, and all the carts were not transporting grain and grass, but sandbags filled with sand!

Wu's vehicles were piled with sandbags, which neutralized the attack power of the shells, so that the Qing army's artillery bombardment did not achieve the expected effect.

After the Qing army fired a burst of artillery, Ba Gao took out a steel knife and pointed at the Wu army's vehicle formation: "Sons, get on!" Capture the car formation and destroy the Wu dog food and grass! ”
