Chapter 463 Xu Huai (2)

 Doni led more than 30,000 defeated soldiers to retreat to Shuyang, secretly determined that even if the emperor chopped off Yu's head, Yu would still keep this army for the Qing Dynasty.

"Speed ​​up the march and set up camp at Liujiazhuang." After the military order, the march speed suddenly became faster.

Liujiazhuang is a large village in Shuyang County, Huai'an Prefecture. It is so big that it is more like a market town than a village. When the Qing army came here, they were tired of people and horses, so they set up camp, buried pots to make rice, and began to rest.

Hearing that Duni was withdrawing to the north, Zhu Hengjia ordered the pursuit. He opened the map and pointed his finger at Tancheng in the north of Shuyang. He ordered Sun Gui to lead the navy north to capture this place and cut off the enemy's return. I don't know where Sun Gui went.

Haizhou, Xuzhou, one of the nine states during the Xia and Shang Dynasties, has been a famous county on the East China Sea since ancient times and is known as "the first city east of Huaihai".

"Enemy attack! Light the fire!"

The eagle traveled to the mountain island. The Qing army guarding the island discovered the Ming army warship and ordered the firewood pile on the beacon tower to be lit. Unexpectedly, it turned into a rabbit. The Ming army deputy general Wang Sheng stretched his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot him to death like a rabbit.

, and then led his army to kill all thirty Qing troops on the beacon tower.

In order to prevent the Haizhou defenders from noticing, Sun Gui ordered Wang Sheng and two hundred elites to take a small boat and sneak into Yingyoushan Island in advance, successfully blocking the news.

"Commander, you will finally fulfill your mission," Wang Sheng reported to Sun Gui.

"You have done a good job, and you will give those two islands to me." Sun Gui pointed his hand, and the Duck Island and Bamboo Island in the northwest of Yingyou Shan Island were also captured by the Ming army silently.

The Ming army set off from Zhudao and attacked the opposite Ganyu County. When the vanguard Huang Ying arrived at the gate of the city, the three hundred garrison soldiers in the city were unaware and were killed in confusion.

Sun Gui then led the army to capture Linhong Town and Gaoqiao Town, and arrived at the foot of Haizhou City. In order to prevent the Ming army from crossing the Yellow River, the elite Qing army was stationed along the Yellow River. There were only 600 garrison troops in the city, and they were captured in one battle.

Haizhou.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect the Tatars to be so vulnerable," Sun Gui laughed.

"It seems that all the elite Tatars have been exhausted in the battle of Liuhe, and all their energy has been exhausted." Even Lin Cha, who has always been cautious, became confident. He had to be confident that he had gone all the way.

, rather than saying it is a war, it is better to say it is a journey.

"Brother Lin, no matter what, you and I have to speed up our march and capture Tancheng. If Nadoni is let go, His Majesty will kick both of our butts," Sun Guile said cheerfully.

"The sea breeze is blowing, and the waves are roaring. The loyal and brave soldiers are here, setting sail on the sea. Forge ahead, rush to Nanjing, and don't forget the glory of Taizu's founding of the capital. The glorious Ming Dynasty will correct the Yanhuang. All people are united to protect our sea territory. Forge ahead, rush to Nanjing, and be washed with blood.

It is our responsibility to bear the national humiliation. Go! Go! Go! Fight to the death and leave the country to live forever”??, the navy officers and soldiers sang "Sea Wind Song" and marched towards Tancheng.

This song has a great origin. It was composed by Sun Gui when he marched into Nanjing and captured Chongming Island.

The singing is loud and the fighting spirit is high!

??

"Blood spattered in vain, snow fell in June, drought lasted for three years...no rain fell for three years, but only for the injustice of the once filial woman in the East China Sea." "The Injustice of Dou E" by Guan Hanqing, a famous Yuan opera composer, wrote about Zhou, a filial woman in Tancheng.

Qing’s story.

Tancheng was the seat of the ancient Tan Kingdom. The Qin Dynasty established Donghai County here. It is now under the jurisdiction of Yizhou, Yanzhou Prefecture, the Chief Secretary of Shandong Province, and has jurisdiction over the four townships and forty-five communes.

This city is an important military location, and the Battle of Maling between Qi and Wei took place here. At that time, Sun Bin commanded the Qi army to defeat Pang Juan's 100,000 Wei troops with a small number and a large number.

At this time, in the Maling Mountains northeast of Tancheng, a group of people wanted to imitate Sun Bin and fight off the ambush of the Ming army.

The leader is called Yue Le, whose surname is Aixinjueluo. He is thirty-one years old this year. Emperor Shunzhi ordered him to replace Doni and serve as General Anyuan Jingkou. Unlike Doni, this man had attacked Hanzhong and Sichuan with Hauge.

He had fought in battles, seen blood, and had rich battlefield experience. As soon as he set up camp, he sent sentry cavalry a hundred miles away, quickly discovered the Ming army, and immediately laid a dragnet in the Maling Mountains.

"General, will the Ming army fall into our ambush?"

The speaker was Ledu, King of Dolomin County, the third son of Jilharang. He was the same age as Doni, just twenty years old. He was also a fledgling on the battlefield, full of curiosity about everything.

Yue Le asked with a smile: "Does King Min know that Pang Juan is also a famous general? Why did he fall into Sun Bin's plan?"

Ledu had also read some Han Chinese books and replied: "Sun Bin showed weakness to Pang Juan first, and Pang Juan was arrogant and arrogant, so he played into the trap."

"What Prince Min said is that since ancient times, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. The Ming army must be arrogant if they win consecutive battles. They are just like Pang Juan. We can just be Sun Bin."

Ma Zhixian, the minister of war of the Qing Dynasty, and Cheng Fuliang, the general of the army, led 23,000 green battalions to lie in ambush in the Maling Mountains; Zepei, the ancestor of Mele Zhangjing, led 18,000 Han cavalry to hide near the mouth of the valley; Yue Le, Ledu led 3,000 Manchu troops.

The Eight Banners of Mongolia are the central army and supervise the battle on the top of the mountain.

In order to show his demeanor as a famous general, Yue Le shouted, "Wake me up when the enemy arrives," and fell asleep.

??

Huang Ying, the vanguard of the Ming army, and Yang Zheng's five thousand troops arrived at the foot of Maling Mountain.

"Tell the soldiers to pass through the valley as soon as possible," Huang Ying gave the order.

"President Huang Town, please don't enter the forest. This place is full of mountains and forests. Do you want to send scouts to search carefully first?" Deputy General Yang Zheng reported.

"Hahaha! Most of the Qinglu's main force has been annihilated by Your Majesty in the Battle of Liuhe, and the rest have been deployed along the Yellow River. There are guards at the rear. Even if there is an ambush, what's there to fear? Besides, I

The navy's magic soldiers descended from the sky to cut off the enemy's retreat. The Tatars are not gods, so how could they know and set up an ambush here in advance? Don't waste time, order the soldiers to speed up their march," Huang Ying ordered.

When Yang Zheng thought this was the truth, he no longer stopped him.

In the second formation of the Ming army, five thousand soldiers and horses from General Cai Lu arrived. After hearing Huang Ying, Yang Zheng had already entered the mountain. He was in a hurry and said, "Quick, tell the brothers to walk faster. If you run too late, others will have to finish all your military exploits."

!"

Then, Sun Gui and Lin Cha's 10,000 middle troops; Wang Sheng and Dai Jie's 6,000 rear troops, and a total of 26,000 Ming troops entered the mountain. Except for leaving 4,000 men to guard the warships, Sun Gui's troops had already entered

out of the encirclement of the Qing army.

At this time, Yue Le had already been woken up by his subordinates. In fact, he was not asleep at all. The reason why he pretended to be asleep was to pretend to be relaxed and stabilize his military morale.

"The whole army attacks!"

Yue Le spat out these words viciously.

"Woo~woo~woo~"

The horn of attack sounded, and Qing troops came from all directions.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

"Bang! Bah! Bah!"

Cannonballs, arrows, and muskets flew everywhere, turning Malingshan into a killing field.

As soon as the cannon fired, Sun Gui knew that he had been tricked, and his eyes widened with anger. How careless! I didn't expect that the geese that hunted all day long actually pecked his eyes today.

"Commander, we must quickly form a formation to defend against the enemy," Lin Cha said urgently.

"Line up," Sun Gui roared, and then gave the order after thinking for a moment, "order Huang Ying, Yang Zheng, and Cai Lu to quickly gather in our central army; order Wang Sheng and Dai Jie to quickly seize the valley entrance; order the artillery camp to set up artillery.

, bombarded the Qing army on the mountain and covered the Chinese army's formation; the whole army turned around and broke out towards the mouth of the valley.

Sun Gui's attack on Tancheng this time brought a large number of new Tiger Crouching Cannons, which fired faster, had a longer range, and were more powerful than the traditional Tiger Crouching Cannons. In this era, the West had certain technical advantages in heavy artillery, but in

In terms of small-caliber artillery, it is on the same level as the Ming Dynasty. Historically, it was not until the end of the seventeenth century and the beginning of the eighteenth century that artillery was classified as an independent organization by European countries; in the eighteenth century, with the advent of the French Hotchkiss three-pounder,

The West only took the lead in small-caliber artillery. The emergence of the British Vickers three-pounder in the early 20th century expanded this advantage.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The dense rain of bullets hit the swooping Green Battalion soldiers, halting their offensive and allowing the Ming army's central army time to deploy.

When Sun Gui saw that the Chinese army had successfully formed a formation, he relaxed a little and once again asked the front army to move closer to him. The defeated troops continued to withdraw towards the Chinese army, and the Chinese army's formation became larger and larger.

Commander-in-Chief Huang Ying stumbled back.

Sun Gui asked urgently: "General Huang, have you ever met General Cai and Deputy General Yang?"

Huang Ying cried bitterly: "Commander, General Cai, and Vice General Yang have died for the country. The last general deserves to die. As a vanguard, he did not send scouts to explore the terrain. I am sorry for the dead brothers!"

Sun Gui whipped him with a whip and said, "You deserve to die, but you can't die now. The man bleeds but doesn't shed tears. Hurry up and rectify your troops and follow me out of the valley."

Huang Ying gritted his teeth and quickly ordered his men to re-arrange themselves.

Sun Gui ordered the entire army to turn around and break out toward the entrance of the valley.

??

At the entrance of the Maling Valley, Zepei, the emperor of Meile Zhangjing in the Qing Dynasty, led a Han army of 18,000 and eight banners. He galloped towards the entrance of the valley and quickly dispersed the Ming army guarding the entrance of the valley. Then he dismounted and formed a formation to seal the entrance of the valley.

The rear troops led by Wang Sheng and Dai Jie arrived. They knew that the life and death of the entire army depended on whether they could recapture the entrance of the valley as soon as possible, so they rushed towards the entrance of the valley regardless of life or death.

"Shoot", Zu Zepei issued the military order.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

Most of the 10,000-eight-banner Han army were able to shoot, and they lined up in six rows, shooting arrows like locusts at the Ming army.

Sun Gui's subordinates were all veterans who had fought from south to north. They were very experienced in the battlefield. When they saw the arrow coming, they took out their round shields and put them on their heads. Instead of slowing down, they rushed towards the Qing army very quickly. As long as they rushed close,

The enemy's projectiles are useless.

Zu Zepei did not expect that the Ming army in front of him would be so tenacious and shouted: "Put up the spear".

A forest of long spears blocked the path of the Ming army.

Wang Sheng and Dai Jie got angry and led their men to cut off the spear heads and thrust them inward.

The Qing troops in the back row began to stab each other, and people kept being shot and fell to the ground. At the same time, Ming troops kept charging in.

The Qing army's spear formation was too thick and Wang Sheng and Dai Jie could not break through.

Sun Gui arrived and asked the second general: "What's going on? Why can't we attack the valley mouth for so long?"

"Commander, the Qing army's gun array is too dense and the valley entrance is too narrow to break out!"

Sun Gui narrowed his eyes and shouted: "The artillery battalion comes forward to shoot, and must create a gap for me!"

A battery of three people, six hundred artillerymen, and two hundred new tiger squatting guns were prepared to bombard the Qing army at Taniguchi.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Yue Le, Ledu, Ma Zhixian, and Cheng Fuliang led the main force of the Qing army to pursue them.

"Commander, please let the last general stop the Qing army." Huang Ying called for battle loudly. He deeply regretted that he did not send scouts to explore the terrain, and he was willing to die to atone for his sins.

"You go ahead!"

Huang Ying followed the order, but Sun Guihu shouted again: "Old Huang, don't worry about family matters."

"Thank you, Marshal!"

Huang Ying led more than 3,000 troops into formation to stop the pursuers.

Ma Zhixian, Cheng Fuliang led Beizhili Green Camp, and Xuanda Green Camp attacked in turn. Huang Ying's men became fewer and fewer, but they fought to the death and refused to retreat.

Time continued to pass, and Yue Le became anxious. The Ming army was attacking the mouth of the valley. If they were allowed to protrude out, the duck would fly away.

He decided to use his trump card, the three thousand Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners. With successive battles, the number of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners was getting smaller and smaller, and they were really reluctant to use it unless they had to. He summoned the second-class Ashani Hafangunchuk, "Gun

Chu Ke, take your cavalry and scatter them."

"嗻!"

"Da da da da", the horses' hooves were like thunder, and three thousand riders rushed towards the Ming army.

"Brothers, this town can't help you. Today we will lead everyone to die for our country," Huang Ying yelled.

"What the commander said is serious. It is only natural for soldiers to die for their country, and the court has a lot of money for us to provide pensions. You have not failed everyone," the subordinates also shouted.

The sunset is red, it is the blood of heroes that will not be shed for ten thousand years.

More than 3,000 people from Huang Ying's tribe were all killed in the battle, but they delayed the main force of the Qing army for more than two hours, buying time for the main force of the Ming army to break through.
