Yang Guangdi and Qin Jiuze hid behind an adobe wall more than 200 steps away from the official road. The flag team's mission was to return to Chiping County, but as soon as they arrived here, they received a new order, and the fortification location was changed to
Shuangmiaopu. Mr. Qi left the two of them in the Ding family block because Yang Guangdi could mark the map and gave Yang Guang his treasured telescope.
Third, the task given to them was to observe the state of the slave march. The Ding family block was on the border of the two counties. It was only thirty miles from Boping to Chiping. The distance between the two counties was very close, so later generations canceled the division of one county.
Jiapuan belonged to Chiping in the Ming Dynasty. In fact, it was closer to Boping County, only ten miles away.
about.
This mission is dangerous. If the slaves occupy Shitoupu, Yang Guangdi and Qin Jiuze will have no official way to go. If the Cavalry Division fails to defend Shuangmiaopu, the two of them will be trapped ten miles behind enemy lines.
The hiding place is not a village, but a few families living alone, a certain distance from the official road. It is already evening, and the possibility of the Qing army leaving the official road to search is relatively low. It is difficult to see the situation at this location from the official road.
, and with the help of telescopes, the two of them could clearly see the enemy. Qin Jiuze just went out to look at the road. There was a small road going south. If they really fell, the two of them were going to leave from that road after dark.
Turning to the east again, this is a plain area. Only the army needs official channels, not skirmishers.
He would be trapped to death, so Qin Jiuze didn't panic at all.
The light on the official road was dimming. There were many Anqing cavalry passing by on the road, and there were also some people fleeing for their lives, but no Jiannu was seen yet, so Yang Guangdi just opened the telescope and did not use it for observation.
"Uncle Qin, please stay tuned and I'll feed you some peas."
Qin Jiuze was stunned. Yang Guangdi had already handed over the telescope. He quickly caught it with both hands, and Yang Guangdi went out from the door. Qin Jiuze was a little overwhelmed holding the telescope, and felt a cold feeling in his hands. He looked down.
Go, this is the first time I see Lu Dutang’s artifact of the same model so close. The telescope is divided into three sections, and there are four raised characters on the middle section.
, Qin Jiuze only knows the word "白" and doesn't know what it means when combined.
After staying for a moment, Qin Jiuze carefully raised the telescope and put the big end in front of his eyes. After thinking about it, he tilted his head and put the small end in front of his eyes.
His eyes slowly moved closer to the camera. Qin Jiuze backed away as if he was electrocuted. After a while, he moved closer again. This time he adapted to the camera, and the official statue more than 200 steps away in the camera was pulled in front of him.
The corners of Qin Jiuze's mouth raised slightly, and he began to turn slowly, aiming at a tree not far away. The wrinkles on the trunk were very clear. There were footsteps at the door, Qin Jiuze closed the corners of his mouth, and quickly pointed the telescope at the official
On the road, a group of Anqing cavalry happened to be passing by. The formation was a bit chaotic. Several horses collided. One cavalry was squeezed out of the official road. There were soldiers
the officer shouted at the end.
Yang Guangdi came to where he was just now, and Qin Jiuze handed the telescope back to him, "Your cavalry is here."
This time Yang Guangdi began to observe carefully. The condition of the cavalry showed that the establishment of slaves was not far away.
After a while, more than 20 Anqing cavalry came. Some of the horses in the middle had arrows stuck in their butts. One rider also had an arrow on his right shoulder. He held his right arm with his left hand to prevent it from shaking.
Qin Jiuze said calmly, "At least ten people were defeated in this round."
Yang Guangdi responded, "The second round of cavalry."
"Except for your servants, most of these horsemen have never been in battle, so they won't do well against the Tatars."
"I'm not a servant..."
Just as he was halfway speaking, Qin Jiuze suddenly raised his hand, and Yang Guangdi immediately turned the telescope to the west. Two riders appeared in the telescope. They were wearing chainmail armor, which was also polished to a high shine, but they did not wear face shields.
The helmets are almost the same as those of the Ming army. Both of them are holding the horse's reins with one hand and the bow with the other hand.
Holding an arrow.
Then more cavalry appeared behind the two of them. They came along the official road. Their mounts kept spraying white air, obviously also losing a lot of horsepower.
The team continued to move forward. Riders wearing heavy armor appeared in the queue, and the side of the queue was completely displayed in front of the two people.
Yang Guangdi looked on and said, "The Ding family visually confirmed the enemy troops. The first batch of forwards totaled thirty-seven people, five Tatars in bright armor, forty-three horses, more than thirty bows, and two three-eyed blunderbuss.
A bludgeoning shot."
Yang Guangdi spoke, Qin Jiuze repeated it, and then Yang Guangdi repeated it again.
Qin Jiuze looked a little impatient. There were a lot of complicated things like this among the Southern soldiers. It could be explained clearly in two sentences. It had to be verbose for a long time, which made him very upset.
Yang Guangdi began to mark on the atlas. The atlas was also very simple. It was drawn when he went to Linqing. It only marked the towns where he camped. At first, there was not even the place name of Dingjia Block. Qin Jiuze lowered his head to look at Yang Guang from time to time.
There are also some strange symbols written in the third letter that he has never seen before. Although Qin Jiuze is illiterate, he also knows that those symbols are definitely not serious characters. He doesn't know what kind of tricks these southern soldiers are up to.
His eyes kept looking at Yang Guangdi's face.
The first group of Qing troops disappeared in the town, and only a moment later, a second group of Qing troops appeared on the official road to the west. This group numbered about two hundred people, and the sound of hoofbeats was heard.
Yang Guang was unable to count this time, so he roughly estimated the opponent's number without blinking.
"Ding Jiakui visually confirmed the enemy troops. The second group of forwards was about 210 people, with more than 230 horses, 90% with bows, 30 Tatars in bright armor, 150 Tatars in dark armor, and the rest
No armor." The Qing troops roared past on the official road, looking arrogant. It was obvious that they were very relaxed about such a pursuit, but Yang Guangdi, as the one being pursued, had the exact opposite experience.
Not between these two days
Instead of being nervous, Yang Guangdi felt more aggrieved and tired.
Yang Guangdi At this time, most of the Tatars entered the town of Dingjiaquan. He heard faint shouts from the end of the team, and the telescope immediately moved to the end of the team. Yang Guangdi's hand suddenly froze. The last three Qing soldiers' horses
They were dragging a long rope and people behind them. Yang Guangdi looked carefully and saw that they seemed to be the uniforms of the Anqing camp cavalry. Two people were no longer moving, their clothes and flesh were mixed together, and they were being dragged by the horses.
They were bouncing up and down on the official road like a sack. One of them was probably captured not long ago. The Tatars on horseback hit their mounts and dragged the cavalryman to accelerate eastward. Suddenly, more intense screams sounded on the official road. The cavalrymen kept banging their heads.
On the stone slab, he bounced violently and fell.
His body twisted, and a moment later he was dragged into the town by a carriage. Yang Guangdi's sight was blocked, and he could only hear the screams gradually going away to the east.
Yang Guangdi's chest seemed to be blocked by something. Although the Tatars had been blocked by the town, he still didn't put down his telescope.
After a long while, Qin Jiuze's voice said softly, "Yang Guangdi, you can't defeat the Tatars like this. If you want to run, run faster."
"Uncle Qin, we can beat him." Yang Guangdi put down his telescope and raised his head to look at Qin Jiuze, "We are not afraid of anyone. The Rangers are cavalry who can defeat them with all their strength. There is no enemy we cannot defeat."
"You can run this far if you can survive the fight." Yang Guangdi nodded as if to cheer himself up, "Martial arts people said that when we raided Erlang Town last year, we didn't know until we landed that there were more than 100,000 rogue bandits. At that time, there were no
People think they can fight, but Pang Pang says that as a soldier, first of all
The first thing to discuss is not winning or losing, but whether we should go or not. If we should go to Erlang Town, we will go. We have defeated more than 100,000 bandits. When it is time to fight, Pang Da people will definitely fight."
Qin Jiuze looked at the young man in front of him silently, Yang Guangdi's eyes flashed with excitement.
After a while, Qin Jiuze shook his head and said, "Remember, when the Tatars passed through the town, the soldiers in bright armor did not dismount, and the soldiers in dark armor did not go around to check if there were any ambushes." Yang Guangdi nodded quickly, and Qin Jiuze looked at the official saying, "Tatars
In the past, when passing through a town, Tatars with bright armor would dismount. If there were Mongols, they would send Mongolians around the village. If there were no Mongolians, they would go around the village with dark armor to investigate. Now you can tell the flag general that if you build Nu Qing
Enemy and careless."
"That Chen Qian is always a capable person. Let's see if he can take advantage."
... Late at night on December 18th, Lepingpu, thirty miles south of Chiping, went south from Chiping in the direction of Dong'a. There was a delivery shop every ten miles, and the ten-mile shop was Xinglongpu, and the thirty-mile shop was Xinglongpu.
Pu is Lepingpu, and the Chinese army in Anqing camp is
Stationed here. Because it is located on the main road of the post road, a certain size of town has been formed around Dipu. Sansanlipu is located in the middle of Chishan Post and Tongcheng Post, both of which are thirty miles apart. It is a good place to eat and rest.
There are relatively more people than others
The delivery shops are more prosperous and the town is slightly larger.
Now all the street entrances in Lepingpu are blocked with carriages, each equipped with an artillery piece and surrounded by heavy armored soldiers. In the lobby of Lepingpu, Tu Dianli pointed to a position a little above Chiping, "Today's southbound troops
There are rumors among the people that Tatars appeared in Gaozhuangpu, which is ten miles away from Chiping in the direction of Gaotang Prefecture. They sent a flag team to Gaozhuang in the first round of riding, but there was no news.
No Tatars were found, and no other officers and soldiers were found, so it was confirmed as a rumor." "On the south road in the direction of Dong'a, no trace of the Tatars was found. On the way to Tangma from Dongchang Prefecture to Jinan, he claimed that the Tatars had arrived in Fucheng and he was going to ask for help.
"." Tu Dianli pointed to Boping in the west, "Jiannu chased to Boping. Judging from the itinerary, they had crossed the river from Chujiaquan last night, and today they reached as far as Shuangmiaopu on the west side of Chiping. Because
It was about to get dark, and without engaging me in battle, the troops immediately returned to Boping, leaving an outpost in Dingjia block, ten miles away from our rear guard, about half a mile away.
The army was fifty miles away. This group of Tatars used their horses to drag to death many soldiers who were riding in the same division."
Except for Chen Rulie who was on the front line, other officers were present, including Zhuang Chaozheng. He twisted his body after hearing this. "As soon as Jiannu arrived today, he began to climb the city to attack Boping. The cavalry heard the sound of cannons while they were retreating.
, I don’t know whether it was conquered or not. Chen Rulie was ambushing Dingjia block with a ranger to observe. Jian Nu was arrogant in pursuit. He marched through the town without dismounting, did not go around the village to check, but passed directly through the main road in the village. When encountering the woods, he did not send out soldiers to be on guard.
According to reconnaissance, Zanhuafang believes that the Tatars won all the way into the pass and defeated the pursuing Xuan army. Now their morale is high, but they underestimate the enemy.
meaning."
“What’s your suggestion for Zan Painting Room?”
"Counterattack its forward, prevent it from pursuing too closely, and move to the south of Dong'a as soon as possible to avoid the Jiannu front."
Pang Yu stood up and stared at the map for a long time. The marked arrows were still the same as yesterday, but they extended further east. The directions of Gaotangzhou and Dongchang were beyond the range of the rangers' reconnaissance, so they could only be estimated.
Jiannu's pursuit was extremely fast, ten miles closer than yesterday's estimate. In fact, it had reached the twin temples, which was nearly twenty miles. Pang Yu glanced around the people in the lobby, and even Zhuang Chaozheng, who was the most tenacious in his impression, was ashamed.
Jianse, when being continuously pursued by the Qing army, everyone was highly nervous. This was still a relatively safe Chinese army and rear guard.
The cavalry is under greater pressure.
"Everyone, what are we here for?"
There was silence in the hall for a long time. Pang Yu slowly walked around the table and scanned everyone, "We are the officers and soldiers who came to rescue, to save thousands of people who were ravaged by the slaves."
Wu Dacai raised his eyes and looked at Pang Yu who was speaking seriously. Pang Yu's tone was calm and his steps were very steady. "In two days, we retreated the troops from Wei County on the front line to Chiping. All the troops suffered no major losses.
This was a considerable success in the retreat, relying first on the praise of the painting room
The judgment was correct and provided us with time to retreat, which is a credit to Zanhuafang."
There was a look of joy on Tu Dianli's face. In fact, before Jiannu's march to the east, Zanhuafang's predictions were basically wrong. Fortunately, he was finally right. "Retreating is not about escaping, but about living in a better place."
To fight under the situation, we need to determine when and where it is a better situation." Pang Yu pointed to Qiangziling, "First of all, we must know the enemy, review the situation when Jiannu marched, and deduce the fighting method of Jiannu.
There are two routes to the border. Why are there two routes? The prisoners explained that they have always divided the left and right wings, with the left wing taking the Qingshan Pass and the right wing coming from Qiangzi Ridge. Judging from the direction of their advance, the Tatars were also arranged strictly in this way.
That is to say, their basic combat method is to divide into two groups and station in two places after entering the border. I still agree with Zanhuafang’s judgment that they are looking for opportunities to engage in a decisive battle with Xuan and eliminate King Qin’s mobile forces in advance.”
Tu Dianli nodded repeatedly and agreed with Pang Yu's words. "In the absence of a decisive battle, the Qing army jointly headed to Baoding, and then divided into two groups here, still arranged according to the position of the two wings, so they went all the way to Zhending.
All the way to Hejian, Xuanda pursued the right path of Zhending, and Liaozhen pursued the left path." Pang Yu drew with his fingers, "In other words, every time the Qing army splits, it will definitely split according to left and right.
, there is a big gap between them. The distance between the central army should be between 150 and 200 miles. Why do they
They have to be so far apart because their team is so large that one or two roads alone cannot deliver such a large number of troops. At the same time, they expand the scope of looting and use multiple roads to transport troops, which determines that the distance will not be small."
Everyone in the room listened attentively, and the fatigue on their faces was much lessened. "Before dividing the troops, the commanders of the two groups must determine a meeting point before they can formulate their own marching plans. Now we can be sure that Wei County is where the slave army was founded.
The rendezvous point was decided, so Dorgon from Linqing stopped there all the way, just waiting for the way from the west to arrive." Pang Yu nodded at Wei County, "Now it has returned to the situation in Baoding. After the Tatars reunited, they divided their forces again.
, according to the previous rules, it can be determined that there are still two wings, two paths.
The distance between the Chinese armies is about two hundred miles." Pang Yu's eyes were firm and his face was full of confidence. "Referring to the approximate distance of the first division of troops, the rendezvous point of Jiannu should be between Cangzhou and Tianjin, and the rendezvous time is about one month.
, so that they can meet up around January 20th, and then go out before the rivers thaw in February. The current overall situation is that Jiannu once again divided into multiple routes in Wei County, and the distance between the left and right Chinese armies was at least more than a hundred
Here, the four banners in each wing will still march in separate routes, and even each banner will be divided into multiple small groups. Because they have destroyed the Xuan army, Liao Zhen dare not fight. On the other hand, Jiannu can march in Beizhili
Such a precise and fast operation must have a large number of guides and pay great attention to intelligence, so
They knew that there was no strong army east of Hedong, so they determined that the direction from which other King Qin's troops were coming was from the Shaanxi frontier army and the Central Plains troops to the west."
Pang Yu moved his finger to Linqing, Zhuang Chaozheng stood up involuntarily, and Wu Dacai quickly stood up when he saw this. "Once they enter the east of the canal, all the soldiers and horses of King Qin will be on the west side of the Tatars. The team of Jiannu will not enter the border.
They were so agile and fast at that time, and the whole body was already bloated. In order to keep the money and food they had stolen and their children, they would focus on guarding in the direction of Hexi, while the forwards continued to attack Wubei Prefecture and County eastward. I judged that Jiannu would gather the rearguards, and the forwards would
They opened the front and scattered in all directions. After two days of pursuit, they were already very scattered. They could not assemble in a short time. They were even more arrogant and underestimated the enemy because of their consecutive victories. Between them were the people of their respective banners, and our position was there." Pang Yu took a picture.
Taking the map, he said calmly, "It's just east of Hedong, a place they don't pay attention to. Those chasing us are only a small part of Jiannu's scattered forwards."
