Chapter 696: Raid on Qingyuan Town
Qin Mufeng's idea is very simple, that is, to nail it like a nail in Zhending Mansion, as long as Zhending Mansion is in his hands for a day, whether it is Beijing City or Daimyo's Mansion, don't think about getting a day of peace, this is a thorn in the eye!
The infantry and musketeers were stationed in Zhending, and the cavalry entered the Taihang Mountains and attacked everywhere, and the two echoed each other from afar, and the entire hinterland of Gyeonggi was now in the wind.
Dolgon sent tens of thousands of cavalry carrying artillery from the capital and Baoding Mansion to Zhending Mansion, but the two were two or three hundred miles apart, carrying artillery, and the marching speed was too slow, and it was impossible to reach Zhending without seven or eight days; Of course, there are also Duoduo of the Daimyo Mansion, Duoduo sent his most powerful cadre Aobai, straight to Zhending Mansion, and at the same time the troops around Shunde Mansion have attacked, the current green battalion soldiers, the original Shunde Wei 5,000 people with artillery to the north, trying to attack Zhending Mansion with the Qing army in the south, one south and one north, the troops sent, close to 30,000 people, and a large number of artillery, Dolgon and Duoduo's intention is obvious, that is, in the shortest possible time, to solve the Zhending Mansion, Qin Mufeng, this big problem!
The news quickly spread to Zhending Mansion, and everyone began to worry, twenty or thirty thousand people, as well as a large number of artillery and cavalry, such a strong force, if you really besiege Zhending Mansion with all your might, Zhending Mansion will really not be able to hold it!
However, Qin Mufeng is very carefree, except for patrolling the city defense and training soldiers every day, he doesn't care about other things at all, in his opinion, whether it is the army in the south or the army in the north, it seems to be paper.
"Xu Li, send a letter to Zhou An, tell him that the cavalry will immediately go south, and before the cavalry from the direction of the Daimyo Mansion arrives, give me the defeat of the green battalion forces of Shunde Mansion, he only has two days, if he can't do it, then wait for death!"
Qin Mufeng returned to the governor's yamen and said to Xu Li, the capital secretary beside him.
Xu Li agreed, turned around and left.
At this time, Zhou An was also not idle, leading three thousand cavalry to cruise back and forth on the Taihang Mountain East Road, and information was constantly transmitted to him from everywhere, the future must be a Shura field, and he and the Governor were a chess piece in this Shura field, whether they could get out of here alive, whether they could really turn Gyeonggi upside down, to a large extent, it was up to them.
Now the situation is getting more and more severe, Zhou An himself is standing on a boulder, looking into the distance, and his war horse is constantly rubbing his trouser legs by his side, it seems that it is time to take certain actions.
"Brother Zhou! Brother Zhou! ”
A fast horse ran over quickly and shouted at Zhou An.
Zhou An raised his eyebrows, jumped down from the boulder, and shouted, "Brother Xu Li, what's the matter, the lord has an order?" ”
Xu Li took the reins and shouted: "Brother Zhou, the general of the Commander, I order you to lead the elite cavalry to the south immediately, raid the Shunde Mansion infantry that is heading north, and look for an opportunity to defeat them in one fell swoop!" ”
"Hehe, it's finally going to be a war, I can't wait!"
Zhou An sneered: "Okay, restore Master Inspector, this matter is handed over to me, and I promise to defeat the Qing camp in one fell swoop!" ”
Xu Li lowered his voice and said: "Brother Zhou, this infantry has a lot of artillery, and the cavalry of Aobai behind is rapidly approaching, my lord said that their artillery must be killed before the cavalry of Aobai arrives!" ”
Zhou An turned over and laughed: "Don't worry, there is no problem!" Let's go, give orders, gather troops, and go! ”
Zhou An had been staring at the troops of Shunde Mansion for more than a day, and he knew their whereabouts well and ran down towards the south.
The distance between the two was only fifty or sixty miles, and in just half a day, Zhou An had already run to Qingyuan Town, where the Shunde Green Battalion was located.
"My lord, just pounce on it?"
He Qingtian, a guerrilla general on the side, asked.
Zhou An glanced at He Qingtian and replied: "Confused, it's not as good as before, our Nanjing Right Town has already made a mess in the hinterland of Gyeonggi, how can the troops of Shunde Mansion not take precautions?" Directly launch a charge, then we may be bombarded by others, and order the first cavalry battalion, and the second cavalry battalion from both sides to quickly detour past, from the back of the Qing army to attack, I am here to lead the third cavalry battalion, from the front to them to meet the head-on, in one fell swoop to disintegrate this Qing army! ”
He Qingtian hurriedly agreed, and the two cavalry quickly advanced to both sides, went around the back of the Qing army, and began to launch a surprise attack towards the Qing army!
This green battalion of Shunde Mansion has just been reorganized, and the Ming army that concentrates the two guards of Shunde Mansion and Daimyo's Mansion has only five or six thousand troops, a group of rabble, let them go to Zhending Mansion, it is just cannon fodder for future sieges, once they meet the elite cavalry in front of the plain, they are not vulnerable at all.
The green battalion soldiers of the Qing army marched all the way, cautiously, knowing that the elite cavalry of the Ming army was powerful, and even the Eight Banners of Manchuria were not opponents, how could Zhang Sifang, the commander of the green battalion soldiers, not be careful, and be ambushed by the elite cavalry, that would be unlucky, I don't think that these infantry under his command are more powerful than the Manchurian elite cavalry, and even the artillery on the artillery carriage has been covered, so that once it encounters an ambush, it can directly launch an attack.
However, Zhang Sifang only noticed a possible cavalry assault in front of him, but he didn't expect that the elite cavalry of the Ming army would actually detour back to his back and kill him from behind!
Zhang Sifang's infantry had just left Qingyuan Town, and walked out of the front only five miles away, and he remembered the sound of hurried horse hooves behind him, Zhang Sifang's heart jumped, and he turned around to look, only to see that two cavalry teams of almost 2,000 people rushed towards their infantry from the southeast and southwest directions, the distance was only two miles away, two miles away, for the cavalry who was charging, it was a blink of an eye!
Zhang Sifang was so frightened that his soul was scared, when did the elite cavalry of the Ming army run behind him again, it's fatal!
"Enemy attack, enemy attack! Order, the army is ready to meet the battle, ready to fight! Artillery, turn all the guns and get ready to fire! ”
Zhang Sifang roared in panic, but at this time, he had to turn the gun head, aim, load the shells, and launch, without five minutes, it would be impossible to complete it at all.
The elite cavalry came violently, leaving no respite for the Green Battalion soldiers, and rushed directly to the front of the Green Battalion soldiers, slashing down at the Green Battalion soldiers with a saber, and a bloody slaughter unfolded again!
