Huang Degong's face was solemn on a roof in the Luotuo Camp. There were fires all around and the sound of killings filled the sky. He looked at the fire due east and frowned: "How can the bastard Tatars be so calm?"
He used all his infantry and cavalry forces to hold back Azig's 5,000 cavalry. He used village street fighting and pre-ambushed commanding heights to suppress the Qing army's upper hand with bows and arrows, trying to lure the Qing army to come to the rescue. However, the opponent's general allowed him to Sit firmly on the Diaoyutai despite the rising wind and waves, and remain unmoved!
"My lord, the Tatars have been frightened by the little governor. If they don't take the bait, our plans for this afternoon may be in vain," Weng Zhiqi muttered from the side.
Huang Degong snorted: "The little eunuch is very clever, but I am not a vegetarian either. It depends on my methods."
People are all contradictory. Huang Degong, the little eunuch in the inner palace, admires Chang Yu very much. He led his troops to fight from the west to the north and then to the south. He turned the tide and was invincible. All generals who lead the troops are deeply admired, but they are very not very. Convinced, a little eunuch from the inner court who had never fought in a war and appeared out of thin air could win many battles. This made them, veterans who had fought bloody battles in the north and south for decades, extremely embarrassed.
But why did the little eunuch win every battle? In addition to his unique ability to mobilize the best resources as soon as possible, and his special status that does not restrict him from any factors, he does have two skills. He is flexible in using troops and insidious in using troops, which is rare in the world!
"Sir, do you want to take action in advance and open your face to confront the Tatars? Well, with the help of those in the Beijing camp, at least we have superior strength and the cover of night, at least we can guarantee that we will not suffer any losses," Weng Zhiqi raised his eyebrows.
Huang Degong laughed and said, "That's nonsense. If we are so hard-line, why should I go through all the trouble?" He looked around and said, "Withdraw the troops."
Weng Zhiqi was startled: "Sir, why is this?"
The Ming army took advantage of its superior strength and used village street fighting to ambush the Qing army. The Qing army once had the upper hand, but suddenly withdrew its troops and retreated. This move even confused Huang Degong's generals. It is conceivable that Duduo, who was watching the battle from a distance, was confused at this time. .
I don’t understand, I don’t understand why they suddenly retreated.
"Old Fifteen, why don't you give the order to chase the Ming dog when it's about to escape!" Azig was as happy as a forty-year-old child when he saw the Ming army retreating. He howled and hurriedly urged Duduo to give the order.
However, Duduo, who was regarded by Emperor Qianlong as the warrior with the greatest military exploits among the founding kings, was very calm. To be exact, he was troubled because he couldn't figure out whether the Ming army's move was true or false.
As early as in the afternoon, before he sent troops, he scouted the horse and found that the Ming army had more than 20,000 troops here. However, there were only 5,000 cavalry who performed the foreplay at Liangma River before. He guessed that the rest had either escaped long ago or were hiding in an unknown place. , at this time it was confirmed that the remaining Ming army forces used the villages to deploy a bureau to entangle the Qing army.
But after just observing and reconnaissance by his own soldiers, we learned that the total strength of the surrounding Ming army here is only more than 10,000. In other words, the Ming army must still have back-ups waiting for him to take advantage of him.
After he saw through the Ming army's attempt, he was no longer anxious, and was even very proud. Did he really think that our Qing generals were all rude and brainless people, who were deceived again and again?
So Duduo watched the Ming army's performance with relish. He wanted to see how long the Ming army's drama would last. As for the five thousand cavalry who were trapped in the village street fighting, he didn't feel sorry at all.
After all, this is not a real street battle in the city. In addition to the constraints of riding in the village, there are very few restrictions on the fields between the villages. The Ming army gained the upper hand at this time just by relying on the superiority of troops, and it was only the upper hand. If they wanted to defeat the Ming army, The army is afraid that it will have to pay a heavy price.
However, the Ming army suddenly withdrew its troops in a hurry, which made him confused. Did he not want to lose both sides and accept it as soon as possible, or did he want to lure the enemy deeper.
Looking at the dark night sky, Duduo was confused whether to chase or not. If it were daytime and he could see clearly, no matter how many Ming troops there were, he would have chased them. But now it was pitch dark and he didn't understand the surrounding terrain and the situation. The cavalry may not be much advantageous in fighting with the infantry, and it is not even as flexible as the infantry!
Furthermore, if all the known strength of the Ming army were here, he would not hesitate to rush over. However, he knew that there were still soldiers and horses in the Ming army who had not shown up. Where were they?
Having left early, it was better to lay an ambush in front. Duduo believed that if the Ming army could ambush one move in the village, then there might be a second move or even a third move from behind.
"Old Fifteen, do you want to pursue me or not?" Azig saw that the Ming army was retreating quickly, and under the cover of night, he would not be able to catch up if he tried again.
"Report, Your Majesty." Liangma found an ambush of the Ming army in Hanoi, a few miles southwest. At this moment, there was an urgent report from the scouting horse. Duduo was startled, and then he was overjoyed: "I know what Ming Gou left!"
He said to the stunned Azig: "Brother Twelve, I expected it to be true. If we had all rushed into the village before, or had just chased after us, we would have been rounded up by others now."
"This Minggou is really insidious," Azig said angrily, and suddenly said: "Since they want to draw us all into the war ring, why did they ask for a fair fight of five thousand versus five thousand when they invited a war in the east? At that time, we were ready to rush over at once.”
Duduo laughed: "That's because they know that if we use all our troops, we won't have to cross the river at all. At most, we can kill his five thousand men and horses in a cup of tea. They won't even have time to stage this painful trick of luring the enemy in. ".
"I see, I regret that I should have listened to you." Azig gritted his teeth and looked at the approaching fire a few miles to the southwest: "Since they have all appeared, they will all be taken away this time. Lao Twelve ordered the troops to be sent. Look. Brother, how can I kill all these bright dogs today?”
Duduo snorted, and was about to order all the troops to sweep all the Ming troops within a few miles, when he suddenly raised his eyebrows and said to Azig: "Get back!"
"What, why are you withdrawing your troops? Everyone is showing off their swords... Is it just because Ming Gou has more troops... Old Fifteen, why are you so cowardly?" Azig was so angry that he almost fell off his horse.
"Brother Twelve, why do you think the army suddenly withdrew and the ambush suddenly appeared again?" Duduo turned around and asked.
Azig was startled by his question. He thought for a moment and then said: "They withdrew because they couldn't defeat us, or maybe they felt that the losses would outweigh the losses for both sides. As for why those ambush troops suddenly appeared, it was because they were discovered by our scouts."
"The reason for the withdrawal may be as you said, but it is absolutely impossible for the ambush troops to appear because they were discovered by the detective horses. All ambush locations are the most heavily guarded places. Not to mention that the detective horses cannot easily approach, even if they can escape to deliver the message. "There are a few." Duduo squinted and sneered: "So this is another trick. The Ming army deliberately retreated to lure us to pursue them, and then surrounded them with ambush troops. But when it didn't work, they let the ambush troops take the initiative to show up. The purpose is still to attract us Go over and fight..."
"So, since Ming Gou wants to lure us to fight, let's just go. Are we still afraid of him?" Azig interrupted Dodo hurriedly.
"But the Ming army knows that the cavalry is not our opponent in the field, and even if it has the advantage of strength, it is vulnerable, but why does it take the initiative to fight with us?" Duduo couldn't help shuddering as he said it, and looked around: "The only explanation is that either There is still an ambush, or... we are already surrounded by them at this time, so we should retreat immediately!"
"Ah, we are already surrounded. It can't be possible. You have been watching here all the time..." Azig looked confused, but before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard loud killing sounds from behind the formation in the east, which made him even more chilled. What's more, there are intensive muskets and rumbling cannons!
"You little thing, we've fallen into the trap again!" Azig looked filled with grief and anger: "Old Fifteen, get out quickly..."
Azig had no time to think about why the word "you" was used. Duduo was also panicked. The fire in the southwest was getting closer and closer. The Ming army that had just withdrawn due to the west returned to kill the carbine. Flowers bloomed on the back of the butt due to the east. , bursts of gunshots and gunshots...
