Hengshui Qing Army Camp, Dorgon Department.
To talk about Dorgon’s mood, these past few days have been like a roller coaster ride, from great joy to great sadness, making him extremely depressed...
Since he led the 50,000 army on South Road into the pass, he was invincible at the beginning, invincible, invincible, and he hadn't even played a few games properly... As long as the Ming army who defended the city saw his banner coming, it was early. Has abandoned the city and fled! Even if you don't run, you can easily slam down, and you can't resist it... Who else can be the opponent of the Qing warriors
So within just one month of entering the Pass, one government, two states, 15 counties, and 160,000 people and animals have been looted, which can be described as a brilliant success! But such joy suddenly stopped a few days ago!
Just two days ago, he suddenly received a battle report from the army of the North Road (which was already severely delayed), and it was a battle report that made him feel cold on his hands and feet!
One of the Eighth Route Army that entered the Pass, the Dorumbel Dudu Department, has actually been destroyed! The 12,000 warriors of the Qing Dynasty have returned to the embrace of Baishan and Heishui! This kind of news really made him unbelievable. How could this be possible? There is still such a fighting force in Ming Dynasty
But what happened next was a battle of high sun, which completely shocked him! Three thousand white-flag warriors are also annihilated! Even according to the battle report he found, this is still a masterpiece of Guan Ningjun that he looked down upon before! This news even changed Dorgon's discoloration!
Want to know what kind of stuff Guan Ningjun is? I didn’t dare to go to war when I saw the banner of the Qing Dynasty in the past! But now? Actually changed from a sick cat to a tiger? Even Dorgon knew after carefully studying that, among the Ming army who came to attack Gao Yang this time, there was still the strongest Xuan Jia army in the Ming army who had not taken action. Such strength...
So now Dorgon knew how powerful he was. In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, he quickly ordered the Qing troops who had attacked from various quarters to join together and get warm. After converging with the surrounding Qing troops, a strong force of 25,000 men was formed, and he felt safer.
But even so, under the coercive force of the Ming army's 50,000 army, Dorgon still felt unsafe, so after considering it, he had to join the other two armies, which is the 25,000 under Rao Yubeile Abate’s jurisdiction. After the armies converge, so that a combined force of 50,000 armies can be formed, and I can feel more confident.
However, in this way, on the way to the confluence, you have to pass through the rocky mountain. The rocky mountain is about 200 meters high. The mountain is full of rocks, and it forms a terrain with two mountains and a ditch with another hill. It is a natural place. Dangerous place.
So after the Qing army set up camp, Dorgon dispatched a large number of sentry early to conduct sentry around the Rocky Mountain, including the peaks on the two sides. It was carefully searched once and again, and there was no ambush by the Ming army. After that, he dared to lead the army all the way into the Rocky Mountain.
However, after entering the valley, the more Dorgon looked at the terrain, the more terrified he felt. However, he believed in the strength of his sentry. Since there were no ambushes on both sides of the valley, it didn't matter. And if the Ming army set up an ambush at a farther place, it would not be able to grasp the precise timing of the attack, so it is still safe.
But after Dorgon confidently and boldly followed the Chinese army into the valley, he suddenly received a report from the Qing army forward: "Tell the general, there is an abnormality in the valley ahead!"
"What's the exception?" Dorgon was shocked, saying that in such a precipitous place, he didn't want any accidents!
At this time, the Qing army forward had already handed him a box made of clay and respectfully said: "When the front army opened the road ahead, he found hundreds of such boxes on the road. The subordinates found it strange. I took one and gave it to the general."
"Oh, what is this?" After Dorgon took it over, he felt very strange. This is a box made of wet mud. It is a bit dry now, but the strange thing is that there is a thumping sound inside. There seems to be a living thing in it.
Dorgon found it strange, so he ordered his men to take this box to a safe distance, and then open it... Fluttering, what the hell is this? As the mud box opened, a dove flapped its wings and flew into the air.
What the hell is this? Seeing the pigeon gradually disappearing into the air, Dorgon frowned. He had a hunch that this should be a ghost of the Ming army, but what effect can such a pigeon play
But before he could figure out what was going on, at this moment, two miles ahead, the forward of the Qing army was also curious... What is going to be moving here? So all the boxes on the road have been opened, it depends on what happens.
And at this moment, I heard a bang of hula la, and the more than 300 pigeons in it soared into the sky, and this was the signal to ambush the Qing army! With a black pigeon flock flying into the air, it was like a flare! Dorgon couldn't even think of it in his dreams, Pandora's box... was opened by themselves!
"Oh no good!" Seeing this scene, Dorgon suddenly yelled! Dorgon, as the president of the South Road Army, is one of the rare wise men in Tarzi (his title of prince wise, originally meant to be clever and wise), so now seeing this scene, he immediately realized that the big thing was not good!
"Immediately the whole army will withdraw from the Rocky Mountain!" Dorgon ordered immediately, but it was too late. Pandora's box had been opened! At this moment, I heard the faint sound of horseshoes coming from a distance... There are already thousands of horses galloping! The signal has been released, so is there anyone who can't catch it!
"Quickly, quickly, withdraw from the rocky mountain immediately!" Dorgon's expression changed, but it was too late. You must know that his 25,000 people are nearly ten miles away, so now except for only a few thousand rear soldiers Entering the valley, most of the other Qing troops have already entered the Rocky Mountain, and now it is not possible to complete the evacuation in a short while.
And at this moment, with the sound of horseshoes, it was already out of the reach of the Qing army sentry (generally the Qing army sentry's range is about seven miles, under normal circumstances it is enough to respond, but now), kill at high speed. Here comes the Ming army!
The Ming troops are all prepared fine horses long ago, and that will almost arrive in no time! When the cavalry arrived at high speed, they immediately cut off the entrance to the valley! Including the exit in front of the Rocky Mountain, as well as the peaks on both sides of the valley, countless Ming troops also began to kill, and then quickly occupied the peaks on both sides!
And this is also very obvious. At first, in order to avoid the detection of the Qing army sentry, the about 15,000 fine horses gathered by the Ming army were all hidden away from seven miles, waiting for an opportunity! But since the pigeon's signal was sent out, of course it was killed instantly! And such a little time is not enough for the Qing army to withdraw from the chaotic mountain!
As for the highlands that want to occupy the mountain peaks on both sides, I’m sorry. The Qing army has a steep slope of almost 70 degrees. It is extremely difficult to climb up with manpower. Therefore, almost in a flash, this is 20,000. The Duo Qing army has been trapped in this rocky mountain and has become a turtle in the urn!
"How could this happen?" Suddenly subjected to such a blow, even with the well-trained Qing army, a burst of chaos inevitably occurred! If it were in the past, even if they were ambushed by the Ming army, they wouldn't be taken seriously. Is that kind of underdog worth taking seriously
But today is different. First, the North Road army was completely annihilated, and then the Gaoyang Three Thousand Elite Army was annihilated! After these repeated defeats, they now have little left over the Ming army’s psychological advantage...
I have to say that Dorgon is still quite decisive. Facing this kind of crisis, he immediately ordered: "Send my order and get through the entrance at all costs! Otherwise, our army will be really in danger." And this is also very obvious, in such a precarious place, only rushing out is the only chance of survival! Otherwise, the annihilation of the entire army is very likely!
"Yes!" The execution of the Qing army was also quite good, so immediately there were more than a dozen white Baja Le soldiers next to Dorgon, who went down to deliver orders.
And now their only hope is that Dorgon is in the middle of the Qing army, so it hasn't been far to enter the valley at this time, and under the full counterattack, there is still the possibility of rushing out!
So shortly after Dorgon gave the order, there were elite Zhengbaiqi Qing troops, and they began to charge towards the entrance!
At this time, the entrance to the Rocky Mountain was blocked by the Ming army. Those who arrived earlier were two thousand cavalry from the Xuanjia Army, and another five thousand cavalry from the third town of Xuanda. These people were responsible for blocking the entrance to the valley. Yes, and when they arrived, they immediately dismounted and began to deploy defenses. After all, in this mountainous terrain, their cavalry cannot be deployed, and they need to dismount to deploy defenses.
At this time, the battle has started fiercely. Originally, the entrance to the Rocky Mountain was not wide, which was about thirty feet. It could accommodate hundreds of people to charge side by side. Therefore, these Ming troops just blocked the entrance and counterattacked the Qing Dynasty. The army has begun!
And these Qing troops also knew that this time they were caught in a trap, and a little carelessness would be annihilated! Therefore, they are all desperate to launch a counterattack!
However, the Ming army was not vegetarian, and of course they knew very well that the Rocky Mountain now is like a big sack. As long as you guard this place, the Qing army who has entered the Rocky Mountain will be the turtle in the urn! If you don't die, you will be seriously injured! In addition, the current situation is so favorable, so it is a deadly battle!
Including the two thousand mysterious armies that have arrived in the early stage, everyone is equipped with three-eyed guns, including the elite soldiers in the three towns of Xuanda, and most of them have three-eyed guns in their hands, so set up a simple blocker. After the position, that is to start shooting desperately!
Of course, even the three-eyed guns used by the Xuanjia Army are very well-made. The three-eyed guns used in the third town of Xuanda are not bad, so the attacking Danzi is like a blood gourd. ! But these Tartars are also really fierce. Obviously, they also know that it is impossible not to rush out. They are charging waves after waves like a tide!
And because the Ming army forcibly inserted and cut it, the distance between the two sides is too close, and the nearest place is two or three feet away! So it’s almost as if the two sides were shooting dead in a row!
The Ming Army's three-eyed guns can easily shoot through the armor worn by Tarzi, even two or three layers of heavy armor are useless! As for the dog Tartar, the bows and arrows, the throwing axes, are densely packed like meteors, leaning in the camp of the Ming army! It also caused a lot of casualties!
Not to mention the officers and soldiers of Xuanda Three Towns, the armor on their bodies is just average, even if the black armor soldiers wear well-made mountain armor, the bows and arrows cannot be shot through, but the powerful kinetic energy can still vomit blood. Yes, even shattering the internal organs!
(The Xuanjia Army did not train spear and shield soldiers, that is, soldiers armed with spears and shields. The formation of the army is too slow. Instead, auxiliary soldiers carry shields to cover the soldiers in battle. However, in the current surprise attack Under circumstances, it is obviously impossible to bring auxiliary soldiers)
But in general, because the Ming army is the defensive side, it can rely on the rocks on both sides to fight, while the dog Tartar is the offensive side, which suffers even more, and the terrain here is not able to be used, so in general, it is still occupied by the Ming army. You, firmly guarded this exit... The pockets are tightly tied!
In other words, a life-and-death battle, a needle-point battle against Maimang, has begun! (End of this chapter)
