Chapter 949: Huailai Victory

"Commander Zhao! It's still up to you. I really don't know how the soldiers of your Runing Army are trained, and after practicing for so many days, they have become a strong army. Watching the soldiers gather the captured air war horses, Chen De gave Zhao Dang a thumbs up convincingly.

In fact, Chen De is not very old, that is, in his early twenties. Therefore, when he saw that the Second Cavalry Regiment led by Zhao Dang had achieved such great results, he was not jealous, and he only thought about learning this method of military training.

"General Chen is polite!" Zhao Dang said with a smile. Because the reorganization of the Daping Army has not yet been completed, the current name is also a bit confusing. However, in the face of Chen De's praise, Zhao Dang was also very happy in his heart.

"Actually, General Chen Xiao has practiced well. Without our outflanking, you will sooner or later break up the Tartars. Zhao Dang began to say polite words, "Riding a group, that is, being able to fight that kind of battle to the death, is really a one-on-one with a hard knife and a real gun, or it is better to ride a group." ”

"That's so kind!" Listening to Zhao Kang's polite words, Chen De laughed heartily, "After the war, I want to come to ask for advice, can Commander Zhao hide his secrets?" ”

"Learn from each other! Learn from each other! ”

"I'd better come over and learn more! Can't the money spent on treats be wasted? Chen De joked.

"Haha——!"

……

In fact, cavalry formation combat has approached modern cavalry tactics. This tactic abandons the fight of individual cavalry, and reflects the power of cavalry with a group charge. And with such a tactic, that is, the nomads who grew on horseback will be defeated when they encounter such tactics. No matter how the individual is, he can't beat the collective!

And it was learned that the troops that went to intercept it were defeated. The Qing army did not dare to besiege Zhuangzi who was in charge of Qi again. The Qing generals under his command gathered the remnants of the army and moved closer to the main force led by Abatai, wanting to concentrate their forces. Repel this invading Daping army.

But when the Qing generals converged, he found that Abatai was also in an embarrassment. The two Zhuangzi attacked by the Qing army were not defeated, and the main force led by Abatai himself also ran into a bloody attack when attacking the county seat. What's even worse is that the 40,000 troops led by Wu Shigong have also approached the Abatai Department, and the Qing army can no longer let go of attacking the city.

On June 19, Huailai was in the camp of the Daping Army.

Wu Shigong smiled and said to Zhao Dang: "You are here." I'm relieved. Originally, I was afraid that the Tartars would bypass the army and fight back and forth with the Tartars of Shanhaiguan, but with you. They won't be able to move an inch. Hahaha——! ”

There was also laughter in the big tent.

"Your Majesty! This time the end will go smoothly, and General Chen Xiao will also make a lot of meritorious contributions! Seeing that Wu Shigong was in a good mood, Zhao Dang did not hesitate to praise Chen De a few words, and a flowery bridge came to carry people.

So Wu Shigong also smiled and nodded to Chen De. praised: "It is worthy of being a general." Blessed is General Chen! However, it is wartime now, and the credit is recorded in the merit book first, and the merit will be recorded together after the war. ”

"Emperor Xie!" Chen De bowed his hand and said, his face full of eyebrows and smiles.

"I heard that this time the Tartars beat a Zhuangzi, but they couldn't beat it, is there such a thing?" Wu Shigong asked Zhao Dare with a smile.

"Yes! Emperor! It is our old man Ma of Runing who guards the Zhuangzi, and the one who leads the Zhuang team is the injured and retired veterans. When the last general passed by this Zhuangzi this time, he left them with thirty firearms. Even if the Tartars attacked the entire Zhuangzi again, they would be able to support it for a while. Zhao Dang replied.

"You're doing a good job." Wu Shigong smiled and nodded to Zhao Dang. "In this battle of national fortune, there are many meritorious servants, and I will reward them one by one. The 1,600 cavalry sent by Lao Xiong will also arrive in two days. When they come, it's even more worry-free. ”

Then Wu Shigong looked at Yang Chengzu and Li Dingguo again, and asked, "Chengzu and Dingguo, don't say that I don't let you two make meritorious contributions, what?" Can you stop the tartar? ”

"We will not fail in our mission!" The two of them also immediately received the order.

Then, Wu Shigong instructed Xue Cunzhuang, the general who led this large army: "The Tartars are in a hurry to attack the city, and there should be a shortage of food and grass, and our plan to clear the wilderness has also worked." This time, I will leave you with 30,000 troops, and all the cavalry that has come will be under your command. You are a gathering of famous generals here, and you are strong and strong! You don't need to fight a decisive battle, find a way to drag the Tartars for a long time, and they will retreat without a fight. And I will personally lead 10,000 sons to Shanhaiguan to fight to the death with the Tartars. Will you be able to block the tartars? ”

"Your Majesty! Put a hundred and twenty hearts! In comparison, Xue Cunzhuang, an old member of the Runing Army, said a lot more casually to Wu Shigong.

Wu Shigong nodded with satisfaction, and said in the end: "Don't underestimate the enemy, and also prevent the Tartar dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry." Remember! Steady up! ”

"No!"

On June 20, Wu Shigong led 10,000 horses back to support the main force of the Daping Army at Shanhaiguan. Xue Cunzhuang led the army to continue to advance and met the Qing army on the 21st. After the encounter, both sides were cautious, and camped thirty miles apart.

On the 22nd, 1,600 cavalry sent by Xiong Zhengen also rushed to Xue Cunzhuang's department, so Xue Cunzhuang convened all the generals to discuss the military situation. However, this military discussion seemed to have ignited a powder keg, and all the generals were angry and wanted to take the initiative to attack the Qing army.

After all, Xue Cunzhuang's army had more than 20,000 auxiliaries, and those generals were afraid that in the confrontation battle, those auxiliaries would not be able to hold out. So simply took advantage of the unstable foothold of the Qing army to fight hard. Of course, the frequent reports of the good news of the other Daping armies also stimulated them deeply, and these generals couldn't sit still.

That night, Yang Chengzu, Li Dingguo, Zhao Kang, Chen De and other generals led five troops of more than 1,000 people and scattered around the Qing army camp. And Xue Cunzhuang personally commanded the artillery, approached the Qing army camp in the dark night, and bombarded the Qing army camp.

This cannon sound, like a signal, guided the troops of the Fifth Route Daping Army to immediately enter the camp of the Qing army, turning the Qing army upside down. After the battle reached the extreme, the Qing army finally bombed the camp, and many Mongolian soldiers could not bear the psychological pressure anymore and fled to the outside of the camp. Seeing that the situation was not good, Abatai could only evacuate the camp with the Eight Banners.

After dawn, Abatai gathered more than 20,000 Qing troops. This made Abatai want to cry without tears. After many Mongol soldiers escaped from the camp, they no longer cared about Abatai and fled back to the Mongolian steppe.

After suffering a great defeat and not having an advantage in troops, Abatai, who lacked food and clothing, no longer had the intention of fighting, and also led the Qing army back to Guanwai.

When the battle report of Huailai's victory reached Wu Shigong, he was still on the road with a large army. Seeing this group of bold bastards make such an astonishing move, Wu Shigong only said one word - "Grass!" (To be continued......)
