Chapter 89 Prince Shaobao, Frontier Officer of the Yongwei Battalion: Zhou
After the new army retreated to the original camp area, the attacking Qing army also stopped their filling tactics, and the two sides stopped fighting in a tacit understanding!
Everyone knows that this is a time when endurance and determination are tested. If the Ming army fails to rush into the formation this time, it will be difficult to break out of the formation again in the future. Therefore, the current Qing army does not want to use human lives to fill the gap. They will use the most economical method.
This method killed the Ming army.
"Ruohai, we have to think about the last thing!" In the afternoon, the Qing army did not continue to attack, but this made the situation on the battlefield worse and the atmosphere more depressing. Liu Yuanbin stood on the high ground of the battlefield, looking at the blood stained red
Dadi and Cao Ruohai discussed the final arrangements. When they were in danger before, everyone had no time to think about the aftermath. This time it was different. At least there was a period of silence during the war.
"What else is there to consider? Isn't it just to die to serve the country? Lao Cao made preparations a few days ago and is ready to die for the country at any time."
"That's not what I'm talking about! We have to save some seeds for the new army. I'm going to select fifty seeds from each of your two brigades and give them good horses, and then hand them over to the general's school teaching team early tomorrow morning.
Wait, let them rush out of the enemy's position together."
"Commander! Do you want to teach the team to break out?"
"Their firearms are still capable of fighting, and they are all elite cavalry. It is not difficult to break out of the enemy's formation! The teaching team is the essence of our Ming Dynasty, and they cannot be killed because of us. In the future, His Majesty will have to rely on them to support the new army!
"
"This is a very appropriate move! Your Majesty will definitely build a new army in the future. The bones and blood of our two brigades will be taken out by the training team. One day they will surely avenge us."
"I guess this day will definitely not be too far away!"
Liu and Cao reached a consensus and asked the teaching team to break out early tomorrow morning. As for themselves and others, they could only wrap their bodies in horse leather and die for the country.
When they first mentioned this idea to Wang Sancai, he found it difficult to accept it. But after the two generals explained the overall situation, Wang Sancai had to accept this opinion. That night, Cao Ruohai and Liu Yuanbin were selected from the two brigade troops.
He recruited a hundred generals who were the most capable and skilled in riding, and asked them to follow the training team early the next morning to break through the encirclement with the mission of avenging the entire new army.
On the fifth day of the Wuqiao battle between the New Army and the Qing Army, both sides knew that the war would definitely end today. It was just dawn, and the main camp of the New Army was like the Qing Army launching a counterattack, followed closely by the teaching team, with all their strength
He rushed into the formation, broke through the dense defense line of the Qing army, and rushed to the periphery of the battlefield.
"Zhunta, order a thousand cavalry to drive these Ming troops to the outskirts of the battlefield! They shouldn't come back to the formation, but we still have to guard against them causing trouble." Abatai looked at the teaching team that easily broke through his heavy defense line.
, the roots of his teeth itched with anger. Fortunately, most of the Ming army were infantry, otherwise they would not have been able to trap them.
This group of people should be the flesh and blood left behind by the Ming army, which means that they are ready to fight to the death. Abatai felt that he had to go into battle personally to send this brave enough opponent away.
Wearing the glittering silver armor on his body, Abate specially asked his soldiers to raise the commander's flag a little higher. Then, like a command knife, he was about to let the whole army sound the drum bugle for the whole army to attack.
Suddenly he heard the drums and trumpets of the charge coming to mind in advance on the battlefield. Is it that the troops were so disobedient? There was no collective consciousness at all! Abatai, who was annoyed in his heart, was about to open his mouth to curse, and suddenly his mind suddenly jumped. The drums and trumpets of the charge suddenly came to his mind.
The sound is not our own rhythm, why does it sound like the drum and bugle beat of the Ming army?
After reacting, Abata quickly turned his attention to the outside of the battlefield. It was indeed inconvenient to see the battlefield with a helmet on.
Looking in the direction where the sound of drums and trumpets came from, there was indeed a cavalryman charging towards the battlefield with flags fluttering.
"Come on, come and see which troops are coming, whether they are friends or foes!"
Although he couldn't tell whether he was an enemy or a friend, Abatai knew that nine times out of ten he was an enemy or a friend.
Before the scouting horse sent out reported back, Abatai knew who was coming because he had already seen clearly what was written on the general's flag hung by the troop of soldiers and horses that rushed over.
"Zhou, the Taibao of the Ming Prince and the forward officer of the Yongwei Battalion." When he saw this flag, Abatai, who had been fighting against the Ming army for a long time, understood who was coming.
"It's the Yongwei camp again? Zhou Yuji actually rushed to the scene." Abatai muttered to himself and sighed to the generals around him. Then he quickly deployed his troops to stop this group of troops entering the battlefield.
Ming army reinforcements.
Zhou Yuji's troops are not poor infantry like the New Army. They are regular cavalry, with fast advance speed and rich combat experience. From the moment they entered the periphery of the battlefield, they advanced wildly and did not stop until they were three miles away from the New Army camp. Then
They began to open up the battlefield. From the looks of them, it seemed that they did not want the two armies to join forces, but wanted to open a camp there to form a horns with the new army.
This is the combat experience of a veteran. As a veteran, Zhou Yuji certainly knew that rushing into the friendly camp at this time would cause unnecessary chaos. It would be better to settle down at a distance of three or four miles.
"Wang Sancai, May Youliang! Can you still break through the Qing army formation?" Zhou Yuji asked Wang Sancai and May Youliang beside him in front of the Chinese army commander's flag to see if they could break through the Qing army formation and Liu Yuanbin and the others inside.
Contact was made. The reason why Zhou Yuji rushed into the battlefield so quickly today was because he met Wang Sancai and the others on the road and learned that Liu Yuanbin and Cao Ruohai were in critical condition.
After receiving the imperial edict from King Qin to Beijing at the end of January, Zhou Yuji hurriedly ran north. After arriving in Shandong, he still thought about waiting for Huang Degong and the two armies to join forces and go north together. However, the military information collected in Shandong was,
The main force of the Qing army is moving north at a high speed. It is normal for the Qing army to go north, but it is quite abnormal to move north quickly! Zhou Yuji, who has rich military experience, knows that the Qing army is definitely going to fight a big battle with the imperial army.
The Qing army was eager to go north to fight a big battle. Zhou Yuji did not dare to neglect. He did not even wait for Huang Degong, and hurriedly led the army along the direction of the Qing army's northward pursuit. Then they caught up to Wuqiao, and met Xin, who was encircling and annihilating the Yongwei camp.
The main force of the Qing army.
Zhou Yuji knew where a battle would break out along the way from Shandong to Beizhili! So he pursued fiercely without any deviation or detour.
"Shaobao, Beiji and the others will definitely be able to break through the formation!"
"Okay, I will order you two to break away from the formation and give a message to Yuan Bin, asking him to calm down the army and guard the camp. With my cavalry on the side, there is nothing you can do to his new army! As long as you hold the camp,
Most of the reinforcements will arrive soon. This time, our Yongwei battalion will join forces and fight a good battle to let the Eastern captives remember it and see if they dare to enter the pass and bully the people of the Ming Dynasty in the future!" said this
As he spoke, Zhou Yuji was in high spirits and felt very proud.
