Chapter 1024: Outside the Daimyo Castle
Fortunately, when Qin Mufeng led the cavalry to attack the Qing army, the ships of the second wave of Qing troops had already reached the bank of the canal.
Although Qin Mufeng has been pressing the Qing army in front of him, it is impossible to defeat the Qing army in front of him, at least in a short period of time, and the combat power of the two sides is not so different.
Under the command of Nikan and Wu Sangui, the Qing army withstood the attack of the Ming army, and in less than an hour, the 10,000 Qing troops also completed the landing and began to join the battle.
At this time, the strength of the Qing army has exceeded Qin Mufeng's strength, 10,000 troops against 20,000 troops, Qin Mufeng is brave again, and can maintain an undefeated posture, it is already good, if you want to defeat the Qing army again, but it is too difficult, after all, the current Qin Mufeng does not carry heavy weapons, the artillery battalion is still twenty miles away, relying on the cavalry and musket battalion alone, it is basically impossible to defeat the opponent, unless the 10,000 troops under his command are elite cavalry.
Qin Mu gritted his teeth angrily, but he could only sigh, just take advantage of the Qing army's unstable foothold to take advantage of the cheapness, it was too difficult to defeat the Qing army, but it was a pity that it was a great opportunity, if he had twenty or thirty thousand troops in his hands, the Qing army would only have the fate of being surrounded and annihilated.
Qin Mu gritted his teeth angrily, and the Nikan on the opposite side was even more frightened, not daring to fight, after all, the military order given to him by Duoduo was that within one day and one night, he must rush to the Daimyo's mansion, and if he violated Duoduo's military order, with Duoduo's character, it was possible to cut himself......
If you can't fight, evacuate to the Daimyo's Mansion quickly!
Ni Kan and Wu Sangui retreated, taking advantage of the fact that the artillery battalion of the Ming army and Song Jiaxing in the south were nowhere to be found, and immediately withdrew to the Daimyo's Mansion and defended the city, which was the best policy......
Wu Sangui led a cavalry to break in the back, Ni Kan led the main force, retreating towards the Daimyo's mansion with all his might, and the Qing army began to run frantically into the distance, even abandoning the boats at the canal wharf.
When Qin Mufeng was hesitating whether to withdraw the army, he suddenly discovered the retreat of the Qing army, and his heart moved, the Qing army had no intention of fighting to the death, and quickly retreated to the west. Moreover, Duoduo still has seventy or eighty thousand troops available, so what is he in a hurry?
No matter, anyway, what the Manchurian Tatars want to do, Lao Tzu won't let them succeed easily, that's right!
"Order the three armies, give me the Ming army in front of me to be entangled to death! Attack with all your might! Urge the artillery battalion behind, speed up for me to keep up, and launch an artillery bombardment against the Qing army! ”
Qin Mufeng shouted loudly, and with an order, the 10,000 troops under his command attacked even more fiercely.
"Look, Lord Overseer, look at the other side, there's a large number of troops over there, that's, that's our cavalry!"
Zhao Xin suddenly shouted beside Qin Mufeng.
Qin Mufeng's heart was shocked, and he looked into the distance, and sure enough, on the other side of the canal, a cavalry was watching anxiously, on the wharf, the water surface was vast, and it was five or six miles away, and the ships at the canal wharf were all on the west bank because of the transportation of the Qing army, and there were no ships on the east bank at all.
The cavalry of the Ming army on the east bank, Qin Mufeng had a thought in his head, it was Song Jiaxing's army, and Song Jiaxing's army had arrived!
"Zhao Xin! Immediately lead a part of the troops, control all the ships on the shore, and sail to the opposite bank, ready to pick up Jiaxing's cavalry! Fast, fast! ”
Qin Mufeng was overjoyed, Song Jiaxing had arrived, and now he was on the battlefield in the Central Plains, but he was just one more bolt, and a few brothers were ready!
Zhao Xin agreed, and hurriedly took a force to start controlling the ship, heading towards the opposite bank, the people on the boat were basically the people of the Ming Dynasty, and now when they saw the Ming army coming, they naturally immediately fell to their own people, who didn't want to quickly drive the Manchurian Tartars out of the pass?
Under the entanglement of Qin Mufeng, even if Ni Kan and Wu Sangui wanted to march at full speed, it was difficult, too difficult, and even an artillery battalion followed behind, launching rounds of bombardment against the cavalry of the Qing army to block it.
Ni Kan and Wu Sangui complained bitterly, so they could only assault with all their strength, running desperately in the direction of the Daimyo's Mansion, and by the time they came to the Daimyo's Mansion, it was already a day and a half later.
"Huhu...... Lord Wang, I finally got rid of Qin Mufeng's madman, specially, since I joined the army, I have never been afraid of anyone, and I have never been convinced, but for this Qin Mufeng, I am really stunned from the bottom of my heart, this is a madman, an out-and-out madman......"
Wu Sangui's face was full of embarrassment, and he smiled bitterly at Nikan.
Ni Kan shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, don't talk so much nonsense, now that Prince Yu has sent troops north, we must enter the Daimyo's Mansion immediately, otherwise, it will be too late, Xu Yifan's main force will also arrive in the city now......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
As soon as Nikan's words fell, there was a rumbling cannon sound in the distance......
Forehead......
The two of them were stunned at the same time, Qin Mufeng's artillery battalion caught up? How can it be? Even Qin Mufeng's three thousand elite cavalry were left behind by himself, the infantry was still forty miles away, and as for the artillery fire, it was even farther, and it was impossible to advance so fast!
Just when the two of them were stunned, above the southern sky, a shell had already hit it, heading straight for the camp of the Qing army!
One shell after another fell on the position, and the unlucky Qing army fell into artillery fire again, and was bombed and screamed again and again!
"No, it's the Ming army, it's Xu Yifan's Ming army! That's a lot of shells! ”
In just one wave of artillery bombardment, at least fifty shells were smashed over, such an artillery battalion has already surpassed the artillery mastered by two or even three military towns, Qin Mufeng's artillery battalion, where is it so strong?
After a wave of artillery bombardment, in the distance, the sound of horses' hooves has been densely sounded, shaking the heavens and the earth, and in the southwest direction, dense cavalry has appeared several miles away, and it is about to arrive!
"Quick, come into the city, come into the city!"
Wu Sangui came to his senses and roared angrily at Nikan.
Nikan hurriedly ordered: "Quick, open the city gate, and the army will enter the city immediately, enter the city!" ”
However, more than 10,000 Qing soldiers want to pour in from a city gate, how can they do it in a short time? Even if it is the fastest speed, it is enough to choke in less than half an hour, not to mention that now that the Qing army is in a mess, it is even more difficult to enter the city!
In the southwest direction, the elite cavalry of the Tianwei army arrived like a thunderbolt in the nine heavens!
