Chapter 863: The Battle of Ningyang (4)

This is the cunning of Azig, in Shandong, not only Azig himself has such a small number of troops, in Dongchang Mansion, there are also a large number of troops, more than 20,000 elites of Shanhaiguan, 20,000 elites of the Eight Banners, even if there is no Azig joining, these 40,000 or 50,000 troops are enough to confront Song Jiaxing, at least occupy Dongchang Mansion, with Song Jiaxing's current strength, it is difficult to capture Dongchang Mansion, but Song Jiaxing occupies the area of Puyang and Yuncheng, and then threatens the entire Luxi, strong strength, It made He Luohui and Wu Sangui extremely jealous, and they didn't dare to attack like before.

Now with the addition of Azig, it has to be said that the situation in Shandong has inevitably tilted towards the Qing army.

As long as the Tianwei army leaves Yuncheng and breaks away from the Yulu border, then He Luohui and Wu Sangui's army can do whatever they want in the area of Dongchang Caozhou, Yuan Zongdi and Liu Fangliang, just with thousands of recruits, are definitely not the opponents of the Manchurian Eight Banners and the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

Soon, a day is about to pass, although Man Dahai is not a general, but he is not a useless mediocre talent, at least he has not completely forgotten Azig's reminder, and after suffering a loss, he began to change his strategy, constantly testing and harassing around the Ming army, retreating at a touch, and threatening the position of the Ming army at all times.

It was evening, and Yang Chengzu on the side said in a muffled voice: "Brother Jiaxing, when will we be able to distinguish the winner from the loser when we fight like this, according to me, dispatch our elite cavalry, use the musketeers as arrows, directly attack their ribs, and directly charge the cavalry formation of the Tartars into two sections!" ”

Song Jiaxing shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Brother Yang, let's not be reckless, I said it, according to the current offensive rules of the Qing army, it will definitely not be Azig who commands the operation, I have been in Manchuria for a year and a half, and I know Azig very well, this guy fights like the wind, erratic, what he is best at is raiding, it is very likely, now Azig is hidden near us, ready to bite us at any time, we must not act rashly, only when we determine the movement of Azig, we can attack with all our strength!" ”

"Why don't we lure out that old fox in Azig?"

Yang Chengzu said suddenly.

Song Jiaxing's eyes lit up, leading out? This is a good idea, as long as Azig is in the light, he is not afraid, even if he can't win the battle, but he retreats with his whole body, there is still no problem, but he has been hiding this kid in the shadows, ready to bite himself at any time, it's not a joke.

Song Jiaxing pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Brother Yang is right, since he doesn't want to show his face, then let's bring it out!" It hid in the shadows, just to raid our flanks or rear troops, and gave the order that the two infantry battalions retreat to protect our artillery positions, and the musket battalions were divided into two wings, and the cavalry was changed to the front, ready to launch a surprise attack on the cavalry of the Qing army! ”

Song Jiaxing gave an order, and the Tianwei army moved again, and soon completed the new deployment.

At this time, a new round of attack by the Manchurian cavalry began again, however, this time, the Tianwei army no longer stayed, and the thirty artillery pieces in the rear opened fire almost at the same time, and thirty shells smashed down towards the Qing cavalry with a roar!

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

The battlefield once again set off a huge amount of smoke and dust, fires everywhere, even the Qing army did not think of how suddenly, the Ming army's attack suddenly became fierce again, thirty artillery pieces, launched an attack together, a change from the original situation of shooting in turns, especially eight of the flowering cannons, the cavalry was blown up miserable, and the unlucky ones had already been crushed in the sound of shell explosions.

The formation of the Qing army was chaotic again!

"The Tianwei Army is finely riding, attack!"

This time it was no longer Zhan Qi and Du Changlong who led the army to attack, but Yang Chengzu, Yang Chengzu led four thousand elite cavalry, leaving only one cavalry to stay, and the rest all rushed up, the first to open the way was the elite cavalry with muskets, three hundred elite cavalry with muskets in hand, constantly shooting, and rushed straight to the queue of the Qing cavalry!

The face of Man Dahai in the back changed greatly, wiped it, and came again! This time, it was even more ruthless than the previous one, I didn't expect that there were musketeers among the cavalry!

Although there were not many of them, the pressure brought by the muskets to the cavalry was too great, and two or three hundred paces away was enough to pose a fatal threat to the cavalry!

"Shoot back, shoot back! I must block the cavalry of the Tianwei Army! ”

In order to be able to reverse the unfavorable situation in front of him, Man Dahai pressed all the 8,000 cavalry in one breath, plus the cavalry that charged, there were nearly 10,000 people, trying to reverse the entire battle situation with superior forces!

However, under the loss of the opportunity, Mandahai wants to reverse the situation, it is not so easy, the cavalry of the second town of the Tianwei Army is strong, not under the elite of the Yellow Banner, and it is obviously stronger than the cavalry of the Zhenghong Banner, even if the cavalry of the Tianwei Army is insufficient now, it is enough to ensure that it is invincible in a short period of time, and the Manchurian cavalry in front of the chaos can only be unlucky, withstood the blow of artillery, and then experienced the baptism of muskets, in a hurry, before he could ease his senses, thousands of elite horsemen have already arrived in front of him, But it's enough for the Qing army to drink a pot.

The cavalry of both sides was entangled together, and the Tianwei army was majestic, constantly launching assaults, unstoppable, and the Qing army was suppressed and retreated!

Not far away, under the cover of cornfields and sorghum fields, Azig observed the movements on the battlefield from a distance, and had been waiting for nearly a day, Azig was like a cunning hunter, patiently waiting for the appearance of the fighters.

Now is the time!

Azig instantly seized the fighter - all the elite cavalry of the Tianwei Army moved from the flank to the front line, and suddenly launched a surprise attack towards the Qing army, thousands of elite cavalry rushed out, constantly launching a surprise attack towards the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and the ten thousand cavalry on the Manchurian Sea could not contain the assault of others!

Without cavalry to protect the flanks, now is the best time for Manchurian elite cavalry!

"Order, the whole army assaults, straight to the flank of the Tianwei army, Lao Tzu will make the Tianwei army pay a heavy price!"

Azig gave an order, and two or three thousand elite cavalry rushed out and rushed straight to the flank of the Tianwei Army!

On the position of the Tianwei Army, it seemed that there was no crisis on the right side at all, without the slightest movement, Azig was overjoyed, this time, I am afraid that the Tianwei Army is really going to be unlucky!

"Charge!"
