Han’s Son is Not a Slave: Chapter 850 The curtain opens

Gaomin Temple is located at the mouth of the Sancha River at the confluence of the Canal and Yiyang River in the southern suburbs of Yangzhou. Together with Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang, Tianning Temple in Changzhou, and Tiantong Temple in Ningbo, it is called the four major Zen jungles. Legend has it that this temple was founded in the Sui Dynasty, and it was repeatedly revived and abandoned, and its name was changed several times. In the first year of Hongguang, when Prince Duoduo of Qing Rui led his troops to cross the river south, this temple was secluded as the location of the king's tent. In the eighth year of Shunzhi, Wu Weihua, the governor of the two rivers, planned to build a seven-level pagoda on the bank of the Sancha River to relieve the flood, and it was named "Tianzhong Pagoda". This Tianzhong Pagoda is also the tallest building with a radius of dozens of miles. Standing on the top of the tower, you can see the Huaiyang earth and the canal scenery.

Two days ago, Zhou Shixiang moved his camp to Gaomin Temple, and he had long been interested in the high tower in the temple. The monks in the temple were all driven away, the wing rooms in the temple were all occupied by the military staff, and watchmen with telescopic mirrors were also deployed on the top of the tower early. Aggregate intelligence for effective analysis. Of course, no matter how far you can see from this tower, there are always limitations, so the scouts are still sent out in groups as before, otherwise there will definitely be a blind spot.

"Where's the big guy!"

"On the tower!"

Military officer Guo Xiong hurried to the top of the tower with the emergency report just sent from Xinyi Town on the right wing. Xinyi Town was the troop of Ma Yaozi Wang Fuchen. Although it had a new name, its combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the old four towns. The most important thing was that Xinyi Town also had a cavalry with 800 people. After the Battle of Guazhou, the cavalry of the original towns were all transferred to the army headquarters, and they were also the reserves left by Zhou Shixiang for the decisive battle, but the cavalry of Xinyi Town was not transferred. Auxiliary ministers have superb cavalry skills, so leaving him a few hundred cavalry will definitely make Xinyi Town stronger and make the right wing stronger.

The Xinyi Town of Wang Fuchen is now gathered in the area of ​​Wuzhuang and Chentao, twelve miles southeast of Gaomin Temple. The task of Xinyi Town is to ensure that the waterway of the canal is not cut off, and the fifth town of Yu Shizhong acts as two sharp knives firmly on the flanks to ensure and reduce the pressure on the central army.

Wang Fuchen reported that his forward had come into contact with the Qing army's scout horses, and the two sides fought several battles, each with a winner and a loser. Compared with the previous two days, the Qing army's horse exploration activities were frequent and numerous. Wang Fuchen estimated that the Qing army in Sanwan was likely to be dispatched today, and asked the military to respond.

Zhou Shixiang walked down the tower with his hands behind his back, and said that Guo Xiong said: "Kong Jianse and Wuerte also said that Fulin urged Aobai to fight as soon as possible. Now that the wind and rain have stopped, more than 30,000 Mongolian soldiers have also arrived in Sanwan. I am afraid that today It's really time for a decisive battle. If you wait any longer, I'm afraid Fulin will not be able to sit still. I guess he is eager to go back to Beijing to see his beloved concubine Dong E. "

"Master, can those Manchurians be trusted?"

Guo Xiong had doubts about whether the Manchurians bought by Zhou Shixiang with a lot of money and high-level officials would be tempted as promised, or he had reservations, because he always felt that the Manchurians in Suna were the Taiping army who surrendered after desperation after being captured. , but those Manchu military officers who were bribery agreed to surrender as soon as they were bought, which gave people the feeling of being unreliable.

"Whether it's a real surrender or a fake one, you won't know if you fight." Zhou Shixiang smiled, "You need to be **** yourself, so don't put all your hopes on those Manchurians who are against the water. They promised to promise. Yes, but after the war, we will always wait and see, what we have to do is to kill the previous batch first, so that they will know that it is a wise move to vote for us."

"The commander is right, you have to be **** yourself..."

Guo Xiong briefly explained the information sent by the Fifth Town. Zhou Shixiang listened and gave instructions, and quickly walked out of the tower. At this moment, the banner of King Qi was planted on the top of the tower, and the Qing army in the distance could see it very clearly. The wind stopped and the rain stopped, but there seemed to be a commotion in the air.

Sanwan Qing army camp, a group of military horses rushed out of the camp under the leadership of generals at all levels. As for the Taiping Army of Gaomin Temple, the same groups of military horses galloped to and fro. Within a radius of dozens of miles, there are horses sent by the two armies to explore each other, and from time to time, smoke from the kitchen is seen rising.

Qianhu Namutu took the cavalry of the headquarters as the eyes and eyes of the whole army, and had already fought a few times with the sentries of the Qing army. The Qing army sent more troops to explore horses than the Taiping troops. In several major locations, the Taiping troops could not get close to the horses at all. They could only observe them from a distance before returning. In some places, the Qing army let the Taiping army look at it from a distance. Once they found that the Taiping army was approaching, the Qing army would send cavalry to pursue them. Now behind Na Mutu, there is a team of Qing army cavalry with no less than 100 people who are biting him tightly. At the same time, another group of Qing cavalrymen from the northeast was rushing here, looking at the flag, it seemed to be the Mongolian Eight Banners with blue flags, and there were about thirty or forty people.

After being chased by the Qing army cavalry for a while, Na Mutu suddenly stopped on the horse, and the Qing army who were chasing them were all startled and looked around. Sure enough, in the sight, there is a group of Taiping cavalry galloping on horses. The Taiping cavalry had several hundred cavalry, and the leader was a general with a yellow horse and a white robe.

As soon as Ma Yaozi and his troops arrived, they reined in their horses and accelerated, going forward to fight with the Qing army cavalry. The cavalry behind him included Manchurians, Mongolians, and Han Chinese, all of whom had high fighting spirits. It is said that there is one soldier, one general, and one general, and the main general, the King of Horse Harrier. Even though many of them are the former Qing army, but now, in the eyes of the sky, the second child, they are the third child.

The Qing army already knew that the Taiping army had cavalry, and knew that there were many Mongolian soldiers and even Manchu soldiers in the Taiping army's cavalry. But because he did not know the specific names of these people, after hearing about this incident, Shunzhi wanted to punish the Manchu soldiers who surrendered to the thieves, but he did not know who to arrest. He can't catch all the family members of the Manchu and Mongolia soldiers who went south and punish them as slaves.

Chasing Namutu was a group of Manchurian cavalry with yellow flags, led by Zuoling Gekun. Coming from the northeast is the Mongolian inlaid blue flag, and the leader of the team is Zuo Linghai Sandai. After they discovered that a large group of cavalrymen in the Taiping Army appeared, they did not retreat in fright, but joined forces and formed a battle formation.

When he saw that the Qing army did not run, but wanted to fight, Wang Fuchen was overjoyed. He was not afraid of anything else, just that these Qing soldiers would run away. If there were thousands of Manchurian cavalry, no matter how talented Ma Yazi was and bold, he would always be empty, but there were less than 200 people. If he didn't go forward and swallow them, he would be called Ma Yazi in vain.

Wang. Fuchen led his troops to charge fiercely, but Ge Kun and Hai Sandai could not stop them. Two hundred Manchu and Mongolian cavalry were killed and scattered. Ge Kun led the remaining soldiers out of contact with the Taiping Army, but still did not run. Wang Fuchen felt strange. He leaned over from his horse and saw that there were several teams of Qing cavalrymen heading towards this place. There are also many flags, some are yellow and some are red. A rough estimate is that there are thousands of people.

When the reinforcements arrived, Ge Kun finally breathed a sigh of relief. When the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry arrived, seeing that the Taiping army was only a few hundred people, a few generals immediately rushed forward, shouting and shouting, and wanted to surround and kill the Taiping army cavalry.

Wang. Fuchen frowned slightly. He thought about it and quickly gathered his soldiers together. No matter whether there were more cavalry in the Qing army, he would lead his troops to kill them for a few times, so that their morale was hit. . More than 700 Taiping cavalry lined up to attack the formation with sharp arrows. Under the leadership of Wang Fuchen, they once again waved their swords and shouted to kill forward. Like a sharp arrow, they pierced through the Qing army column, and then swept towards the two wings. More than a hundred cavalrymen fell from their horses again, and the Taiping army suffered no more than 20 casualties. Wang. Fuchen rarely has an opponent under his spear, and his soldiers are also aggressive under his encouragement. The Inner Mongolian soldiers who participated in the war for the first time couldn't help but scold one by one. It's okay, how can it be so awesome!

"Back, back!"

Seeing that the Ming generals were too powerful and the Ming soldiers were fierce, and his own casualties were not small, Oqir, the king of Doluo County, the front banner of Horqin's right wing, ordered to retreat, and waited for the troops behind to gather to destroy the difficult Ming army. Seeing that the Qing army was retreating, Wang Fuchen would not let go of this rare opportunity and hurriedly beat his horse and led his troops to charge.

If the two sides are fighting with infantry~www.mtlnovel.com~ even if one side's combat effectiveness is lower than the other side, as long as the generals in command are courageous enough, the military discipline is strict enough, and the soldiers can be restrained, then they will always be able to stalemate with the enemy army. After a while, the soldiers could not restrain themselves before they were defeated. The casualties of being chased and killed by enemy soldiers in the rout are the biggest casualties of a battle. The cavalry duel is different, not only depends on the ability of horseback, but also depends on the cooperation of the formation. Once it is washed away by the enemy, it will be difficult to reunite. And the cavalry who were scattered, no matter how brave they were, they only fought on their own, and were destined to be slaughtered and slaughtered by the group of enemies.

When the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers were retreating, they were intercepted by Wang Fuchen, who led people to intercept hundreds of them. After a few slashes, hundreds of corpses emerged from the muddy ground. Wang Fuchen was very proud, and wanted to chase again and expand the victory, but a horn sounded in his ears. He stopped his horse and stood still, watching from a distance, and found that the Qing army cavalry was rushing towards this time. Behind them, there were also infantry soldiers who could not see their heads.

"It's the Tartar Brigade, withdraw!"

Wang Fuchen saw that the main force of the Qing army was attacked, and he turned around and ran away without saying a word. It is true that he was brave and bold, but he was not bold enough to lead hundreds of people to attack the Qing army brigade with tens of thousands of cavalry. It was not brave, but stupid.

"Report, Xinyi Town was attacked by the Qing army!"

"Report, the fifth town was attacked by the Qing army!"

"Report, the first town was attacked by the Qing army!"

“…”

In less than half an hour, all the urgent reports arrived at Zhou Shixiang's desk. He took people to the Tianzhong Tower, took a telescopic mirror and looked at the defense line of the first town due north, and found thousands of Qing infantrymen. Like a tide, it hit the defense line of the second town.

"The war has begun, order the towns, and the general banner will kill a hundred households, a hundred households will die, a thousand households will be killed, and a thousand households will be killed. The commander, all of them are dead, I am here!"
