Chapter 1026: A Thunderbolt from the Clear
Nikan was helpless, but fortunately, Wu Sangui had not lost his position, and led tens of thousands of troops to start a surprise attack to the north, desperately assaulting, as long as he could escape, he could pay as much as he wanted.
Tens of thousands of Qing troops fought and retreated on the battlefield, retreating all the way to the distance, while the Ming army was in hot pursuit, chasing to the death.
In the north, sooner or later, the day before, Duoduo's army had already left the Daimyo's Mansion, in its opinion, Ni Kan and Tan Tai, who had a large number of ships, were enough to rush from Dongchang Mansion to the Daimyo's Mansion in one day and one night, whether it was Xu Yifan or Song Jiaxing, they could not catch up with the Eastern Route Army, intercept it, as long as they entered the Daimyo's Mansion, with the strong and tall walls of the Daimyo's Mansion, the Qing army of more than 20,000 people was enough to withstand the Ming army's attack in the Daimyo's Mansion for at least ten days, or even half a month.
On the contrary, although Sun Chuanting has a strong army in Zhending Mansion, the city wall of Zhending Mansion has already been destroyed, and it will be attacked by 80,000 Qing troops and 30,000 Mongolian cavalry.
It's a pity that Duoduo missed Qin Mufeng, who was closer to the Daimyo's Mansion, and Qin Mufeng marched with all his might, and he really blocked Nikan.
At this time, Duoduo, who did not know that the Daimyo's Mansion was about to fall, was leading the 80,000-strong army to advance towards the Zhending Mansion, and in order to be able to hurry quickly, Duoduo even used some of his war horses to pull artillery and speed up the march.
In the same day and night, Duoduo's army had rushed out of more than 100 miles to the north, and after only two hours, Duoduo led the army to continue to sprint in the direction of Zhending Mansion, and in another day, it was already nearly 300 miles away, and it was only a hundred miles away from Zhending Mansion.
However, at the same time that Duoduo's army went north, Li Dingguo led the fourth town of the Tianwei army to the south, but because of the existence of the main force of infantry, the fourth town could not be compared with the cavalry of the Qing army in terms of speed, Duoduo rushed out of more than three hundred miles in two days, and the fourth town only marched more than 100 miles, and the distance between the two was less than thirty miles.
When Li Dingguo was marching south with all his might, suddenly the scout in front quickly ran back, and when he arrived in front of Li Dingguo, he grabbed the reins, jumped off the war horse, and shouted urgently: "Lord Qiyu, it's not good, the small one is thirty miles ahead, and a large number of Qing cavalry have been found and are rushing towards us!" ”
Li Dingguo was shocked, this Duoduo moved so fast!
"How many troops does this cavalry have?"
Li Dingguo asked.
The scout wiped his sweat and said urgently: "There are too many, the team is lined out for more than ten miles, at least sixty or seventy thousand people, or even more, the mountains are full of cavalry of the Qing army, and they are also carrying a large number of artillery!" ”
Li Dingguo's face changed greatly, there were at least sixty or seventy thousand people, this is all the troops under the command of the Daimyo Mansion Duoduo, could it be that Duoduo gave up the Daimyo Mansion? This is troublesome, if Duoduo's main force of the Eight Banners all rushes up, he has a fourth town, but only 20,000 people, where can he block the attack of 70,000 or 80,000 troops?
If you move forward further, it is already impossible, if you don't do it, the fourth town is in danger of being surrounded and annihilated by the Qing army, who knows when Xu Yifan's main force of the Tianwei army will be able to catch up? How far away from yourself?
Li Dingguo didn't have time to think too much about it, and shouted sharply: "Come, give an order, the cavalry will move forward to protect the back of the infantry, and the rear army of the infantry will become the front army, and immediately retreat in the direction of Zhending Mansion; Order, immediately send a fast horse to Inspector Sun to give an order, the main force of Duoduo's army is going north, and it is only more than a hundred miles away from Zhending Mansion, please ask him to immediately adjust his deployment and make every effort to protect the safety of Zhending Mansion! ”
Li Dingguo didn't dare to advance, for the sake of safety, it was better to return to Zhending Mansion, as long as Yu Sun Chuanting held Zhending Mansion to the death, waiting for Xu Yifan's army to force up, and formed a siege in the south of Zhending Mansion in the face of the Qing army, Duoduo was still trapped!
Li Dingguo's reaction was extremely fast, now it was thirty miles away from the Qing army, he quickly turned around, and then tried his best to retreat, but it was still too late, after all, the Qing army had rushed out for more than 300 miles after two days and two nights, and the army was already exhausted, and the speed inevitably slowed down.
Almost at the same time as Li Dingguo retreated, Duoduo received information from the scouts that there were traces of the Tianwei army thirty miles ahead.
Duoduo's eyebrows rose immediately, and he said coldly: "Twenty thousand heavenly mighty troops? Hmph, the order, the army is advancing at full speed, and this king will annihilate the Tianwei army on the spot! ”
Duoduo's army had just advanced ten miles, and the second wave of scouts rushed back and brought back the news, the Tianwei army left the cavalry behind, and the infantry retreated with all their might, and they didn't plan to fight the Manchurian elite at all, and now there are still thirty miles away from the Qing army!
Duoduo's face suddenly became gloomy, and he retreated with all his might?
Rubbed, this Tianwei army is too slippery, want to concentrate superior forces, give the Tianwei army a hard blow, it is really difficult to seize the opportunity, now the Tianwei army cavalry is broken, the infantry retreats with all their might, and they want to catch up with others, but it is not so easy, the number of troops is less, but there are more people? The speed can't keep up, the two are thirty miles apart, but now there is still less than a hundred miles away from Zhending Mansion, Sun Chuanting's army can respond to the retreat of the Tianwei army in front of him at any time!
Hey!
Duoduo waved his whip fiercely, he knew that this was the case, he would not march so vigorously, for two consecutive days, one hundred and fifty miles a day, even if the Manchurian cavalry was elite, such a marching speed could not be maintained for a long time, and he wanted to catch up with the Tianwei army and annihilate it in one fell swoop, but there was no chance, if his marching speed was not so fast, before dark, his troops would encounter the Tianwei army thirty miles away, at that time, the Tianwei army would definitely not be able to run!
However, it is too late to say anything now, since the Tianwei army has already noticed it, it can only quickly advance towards Zhendingfu, and prepare to flank the main force of the Ming army in Zhendingfu with the Mongolian cavalry.
Fortunately, he and the Mongolian cavalry combined, the strength of the troops exceeded 100,000, and Sun Chuanting's men were only 50,000 or 60,000 people who survived, and they definitely couldn't stop their full attack!
"Order, the army will reduce its speed, and it will be enough to rush to Zhending Mansion early the day after tomorrow, and there will be no need to pursue!"
Duoduo hated and ordered, since he couldn't keep the Tianwei army, then save his physical strength, and prepare to fight with the Ming army the day after tomorrow!
However, God did not bless Manchuria, and as soon as it was dark, a cavalryman from the south ran over frantically, came to Duoduo, and shouted urgently: "Lord, lord, something is wrong!" ”
Dodor's heart was shocked, and he exclaimed, "What is it? ”
"Lord Qiyu, I just got the news that on the way west to the Daimyo's Mansion, the King of Jingjin County was besieged by the Ming Army's Qin Mufeng Department and Xu Yifan's Department, and he couldn't enter the Daimyo's Mansion, and he has been defeated and retreated in the direction of our army!"
