The end of July in the year 276 of the Ming Dynasty was gloomy and encouraging. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The same is true of the situation in Zunhua, and it is somewhat regrettable that the gloom belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and the encouragement is owned by the Qing army. If you want to study carefully, it seems that you can see the gloomy Ming army lingering with a little light of hope that pierces the dark clouds. And the chief general of the Qing army, Prince Yu Duoduo, had a little other emotion rising in Duoduo's heart at this moment.

Hong Chengchou ...... Sure enough, he was still in prison. The news from the capital made Duoduo sigh a little: "It's a pity that Kumen was also cut with a knife." However, it is enough to be able to delay the next half month. ”

In half a month, not only did the main force of the Guards Legion, which had always carried the power of a great victory and unstoppable, be dragged and marched for hundreds of miles, exhausted and demoralized, but also won the most critical reinforcements for Duoduo.

In the west road into the customs to harass Xuanda and other places of the Tulai Department detoured to Huangyakou to help, and now has entered the pass, from the west of Zunhua to kill, cut off the retreat of Hu Dawei and others.

There is a very crucial point in the confrontation above strategy, that is, the strategic initiative.

One of the great advantages of this initiative is that you can decide for yourself when and where you will go to war. There is no doubt that through the deception of the peace negotiations, although the Qing army withdrew all the way east, it gained the strategic initiative. With this initiative, it is possible to gain the advantage of war.

At least, after the Ming army under the Turai was cut off from the rear route, the Guards Corps that was attacked on all sides could not fly.

On the side, Wu Sangui secretly said in his heart: "This Ming Emperor Zhu Cihong is completely different from that Chongzhen Emperor. It's a pity that he was able to detect that something was wrong before the ambush appeared, instead of clinging to the so-called peace talks. The road is one foot high, and the demon is one foot high, and this time the Guards Legion is probably going to explain here......"

"The Ming Dynasty's strong army of a hundred battles can finally be taken by my Qing Dynasty." Zhengbai Qigu Mountain Ezhen Ahshan sighed sincerely: "Once you retreat for hundreds of miles, the opinions of the soldiers are very big." ”

On the other side, the white flag Gushan Zhenying Ordai couldn't help nodding: "Damn, I've been holding my breath these days, and my morale is going to fade with it." Right now, I can finally get through it and kill all these Han dogs! Look at the Ming country's enough emperor without this Laoshzi Guards Legion, what else do you have to rely on? ”

"At that time, if you want him to be round, if you want him to be flat, you will be flat, this Da Ming will be kneaded at will under the hands of Prince Yu. Prince Yu is wise! Kong Youde smiled flatteringly.

Geng Zhongming was not to be left behind: "The soldiers originally had doubts, and the last general always said that Prince Yu's ability must have a follow-up move." No, this time the reinforcements arrived, and the morale of my Qing soldiers was boiling! ”

"Just wait for this work for Prince Yu, Prince Yu, the last general will ask for battle!" Shang Kexi strode forward.

There was a buzz in the tent, and Duoduo swept away the sorrow of these days, and said in a loud voice: "Good! All the departments listen to my orders and go to war! ”

"Whoa!" Inside the tent was a ghost crying wolf.

Immediately, the four gates in Duzunhua City were opened, and tens of thousands of Qing soldiers rolled westward to surround the right guard of Dongsheng.

……

In the Guards Legion.

Shi Dangdang on the watchtower said like thunder: "There are 12,000 soldiers and horses on the east side, and 37 points on foot." The cavalry position was ambushed on the slopes of Chaoyang Ditch! Look at the flag, it is a soldier with a white flag, and its solid mountain is really a mountain, I see his flag! ”

"In the south, there are eight banner armies with white flags, red flags, and blue flags. There are all the Mongols who built slaves, and the number is about 20,000. And some people, they're filling in the trenches! ”

"The Han army is coming from the north, and the soldiers of King Sanshun are all there! And also...... That traitor Wu Sangui's Guan Ning army! Ahh Behind them was the pro-army of Dord, who was overseeing the battle. But...... There are too many soldiers in the south. This is their workhorse! ”

……

"What about the west?" Hu Dawei asked.

As soon as Hu Dawei's words fell, he saw Shi Dangdang shouting again: "The Qing army in the west is also here!" It is the Yellow Banner of Tulai, as well as the Eight Banners of Manchuria, about 10,000 Manchurian troops and 167,000 Mongolian troops. They're heading southwest! ”

"As soon as it opened, a lot of troops were invested." Liu Sheng frowned calmly: "Jiannu is planning to fight quickly!" ”

"Defend or attack?" Liu Zhen asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

"I'm afraid that we can't defeat the enemy in front of us alone...... Our original purpose was only to expel the Jiannu and wreak havoc in the capital. It is already difficult to fight against the army of tens of thousands of Jiannu, and it is probably too difficult to defeat the other party at this juncture when it is surrounded on all sides and the internal and external supplies are cut off. After Xia Chen finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while.

Hu Dawei, as the temporary commander appointed by Zhu Cihong, clapped his hands and took out the military map: "That's right, so our purpose is ...... It's to hold on, waiting for help. At the very least, get through the first battle of the day. There are still two hours left before sunset and dusk, and this is our goal for the first phase. ”

Not many people knew that there were ambushes in the west, and the news was temporarily limited to the command level. But there is no doubt that once the news of the siege on all sides comes, the army will be disgusted and in an uproar. I am afraid that this contrast will shake the will of the whole army to fight.

Therefore, whether it is to live one more day or achieve the overall strategic goal, it is the most important thing to hold on to the first day. At least the soldiers were able to accept the reality of being surrounded on all sides, rather than falling apart in the chaos.

"But I'm afraid...... Jiannu will not give us this opportunity. The other party is going to overpower Mount Tai...... Attack us with ambushes. They don't want us to wait for reinforcements......" Liu Zhen was a little pessimistic.

"The Holy One will come to our rescue." Hu Dawei said lightly: "I have good news for you." ”

The crowd lifted their spirits and looked over.

Hu Dawei said: "The Holy One has long refused to negotiate peace, so the Holy Lord has long expected this battle. If we hold on, reinforcements will come to our rescue! Even, with the Saint's strategic calculations, we can still have a chance to defeat the cunning slave of Duoduo! Don't forget. At the beginning, the saint did not give up the Flying Bear Regiment in the town of Yulu, and now that the traitorous scheme of building slaves is being carried out, he will never be indifferent. ”

"This was the case in the battle of Deer Town, and it was the same when we attacked Shengjing back then!" Xu Yanqi also cheered.

"The Holy One will come!" Liu Zhen swears.

Hearing this, everyone lifted their spirits a little. Zhu Cihong is not one of those incompetent officials during the previous Chongzhen Emperor's period, fighting for each other and not saving him when he sees death. Back then, Gao Qiqian made Lu Xiangsheng fight alone and sit back and watch being annihilated by the Qing army.

In the Guards Legion, the various divisions protected each other, and they didn't know where they went higher than the old Ming army.

Only in the corner, Xu Yanqi muttered silently, sighing very much.

It is natural that Zhu Cihong will not give up the robes of the Guards Legion, but what will Zhu Cihong use to save him? Although the Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world, the soldiers who can fight are in the border towns, which are extremely far away from here.

Even if there were soldiers on the other side of Jizhen, how did they know that the ambush was coming?

When the fight started here, the news was heard over there, even if Jizhen mobilized as soon as possible and decided to come to the rescue desperately, the daylily was also cold.

What's more, the second regiment of Chen Yongfu's department, which was stationed in Jizhen not far away, had fought against the Qing army back then, and the outcome was tragic and the damage was serious.

As for the imperial court's allocation of other soldiers and horses, it seems that they are all far away and cannot quench their thirst. As soon as the Shun army is broken, Xuanfu Datong and the three border towns in Shanxi can release their troops, but Shanxi Datong is too far away, and the only one who is closer is only the Xuanfu army.

It's a pity that when the Xuanfu army comes, I'm afraid that half a month will pass, and at that time, the Ming Dynasty can only be broken by each one. Even if the Xuanfu Army came, the best case scenario would be to strengthen the strength of the Ming Army and serve as a reserve to hold the bottom line of the Beijing Division.

But who cares about the reserves now? None of the immediate issues can be solved.

It seems that he is thinking a little far, Xu Yanqi put away these distant thoughts, if he can't even hold the first day in front of him, there is really nothing else to talk about.

At this time, Hu Dawei's map had been spread out on the table: "The key node is to guard the three defensive nodes around the guard. ”

"The first one is Caojiabao in the northwest. This is the position of the artillery of our Guards Corps on the hill to the north, and by holding here, we can protect the battlefield to the east. ”

"The second is the Kuanhe Senho House located in the southeast. This is the second key point, and it will also be the main battlefield of this battle. It is the largest flat land that can be spread out nearby, and the Qing army will definitely come. ”

"The last one is the eighteen-mile village in the west of the city. Over here...... I'm afraid it will be the hardest part of the battle, and there are few ready-made defensive fortresses to speak of. But we had to face an attack of at least 20,000 men...... And the distance is so far away that it may be difficult to get artillery support. Hu Dawei said in a deep voice: "The most difficult western battlefield, our first regiment took over. ”

"Let's fly the bears!" As soon as Xu Yanqi finished speaking, he was waved by Hu Dawei.

"The first regiment has the thistles that the saint has arranged before, and the combat sappers are also the most well-trained in my first regiment. So, this time there is no need to fight. What's more, the Flying Bear Regiment, as an ace, has to face the battlefield in the east. The Sanshun kings of the Qing army were equipped with many firearms, which was the biggest accident in this battle. The 1st Regiment is confident that it will hold off tonight, but what is the level of firearms of the Qing army, we do not know. And...... To the east, here, Huzi Village, and Ahsan's white flag is here, I'm afraid it won't be just to supervise the war. Once the pinch comes, they'll definitely jump in. When the time comes, can you stop ......?"

"Unless you step on the corpses of all the soldiers of my Flying Bear Regiment!" Xu Yanqi was categorical. Although the Zhenghuang Banner of Turai was the strongest in the Manchurian Eight Banners Army, by the time of Dolgon, it was actually respected by the two white flags. Supplies and military funds are very prioritized, and even Niu Lu, who originally had two yellow flags, was directly transferred to the past.

As the trump card of the Guards Corps, the trump card of the Guardian Corps is very flattering.

"Good!" Hu Dawei has no nonsense. Finally, he looked at Liu Zhen.

"This time it is an offensive and defensive battle, and the cavalry battalion, as a reserve, will temporarily guard Caojiabao in the north first, and cooperate with the reserve this time to prepare the artillery position on Guzi Mountain."

"Order!" Liu Zhen also has no nonsense.

"Gentlemen...... Share! After Hu Dawei finished speaking, he turned and left, striding towards the east.

Knock knock knock......

The dull drums sounded, randomly, and the military orders were conveyed layer by layer. Sure enough, panic began to arise in the army.

It's been almost a month since the victory of Deer Town. Although the rewards have been determined, the rewards have been handed over to the families of the soldiers through the remittance channels of Hengxin Bank. But it was a month ago.

For a month, they were on the march. The excitement of entering the Beijing Division and receiving praise and meritorious rewards gradually faded, and the high pressure of not being able to start a war and being **** pressing made the soldiers tired.

At this time, I suddenly found that I had been tricked, and there were more than 20,000 sneak attacks of the Qing army on the back road, how could this not make everyone afraid?

For the first time, the soldiers of the Royal Guard were skeptical that they would be able to maintain a continuous victory.

An atmosphere of sadness began to linger throughout the barracks, especially in the face of the soldiers of the First Regiment of the Qing Army who had been killed from the west.

Shi Dangdang was still confused, he also got the task of giving orders, as the tallest man in the army, he temporarily took on the task of observing the battle situation. But after observing the enemy's situation, the busy generals forgot about the disposition of this person, until finally Xia Chen saw that there were few heralds, so he used this tall man as a herald to send orders to the grenadier team.

As an elite class in the legion, Shi Dangdang is quite familiar with the grenadier team. When he first joined the military, he was specially approved to join the grenadier team of the Flying Bear Regiment because of his long hands and feet and excellent arm strength.

When this unit, which had been selected from among the best in the whole army, heard that 20,000 Qing troops had come from the west, they were unmoved, but said: "Our unit has immediately prepared for battle, so let's set off." ”

"Okay, let's go!" Shi Dangdang laughed.

When the grenadiers entered the battlefield to the west, they were suddenly stunned.

At this moment, in the rare wilderness near Zunhua City, there are people working hard. There are not only combat engineers from the Guards Legion, but also people who have joined here. They were fully equipped, a water of iron farm tools, a basket of soil dug out of the ground, and I don't know how many days it took, the west side was actually full of potholes, all of which were circles and circles of trenches.

This labyrinthine of trenches hollowed out most of the entire battlefield, and there were only a few unhollowed out places on each thirty paces, and there were turrets on top of them. A door tiger squat cannon is ready with shotguns.

Looking at it, Shi Dangdang couldn't help but walk over. It's just that when he walked all the way to the edge of the battlefield, Shi Dangdang suddenly tripped and fell to the ground.
