What's wrong?
It was obvious that the Qing troops were the vanguard troops sent by Dorgon to Qingzhou Prefecture. Was he worried about being intercepted, or did he find something unusual that made him suspicious?
Chang Yu couldn't guess for a while, but since the Qing army sent a vanguard, the road ahead was full of dangers.
"How many soldiers and horses are there in the Tatar vanguard?" Chang Yu asked.
"More than two thousand" Chen Suole didn't see it with his own eyes, but some of his men saw it, and they were all veterans on the battlefield. At first glance, they seemed to be inseparable.
"Factory Supervisor, how about we kill him?" Lao Jiu gritted his teeth and said. Chang Yu glanced at him and stretched out his thumb: "You are so awesome, I don't even dare to brag about it!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and Lao Jiu was confused. He looked at Jia Waixiong and said, "Am I wrong? It's not like we have never done more with less. If we can't do it, we'll have to run away."
Jia Waixiong sighed: "If we have heavy armor, we can do it, or if we don't have the main force of the Qing army behind us, we can't do it and run away. But now, if we do it, it will only scare the enemy. In addition to wiping out all the Tatar vanguard, Otherwise, if we get away with the news and the Tatar army comes to encircle us, will we be able to escape, will we be successful? Or are you sure that you can kill all 2,000 Tatars with 500 people?"
Lao Jiu suffocated, looked at Jia Waixiong and smiled: "I suddenly admire you a little bit."
"Don't." Jia Waixiong said with an arrogant look on his face, "There is no shortage of people in our Black Panther Camp. Just stay in the Black Wolf Camp."
"Besides, why am I, Lao Jiu, not qualified enough to join your Black Panther camp?" Lao Jiu rolled his eyes. Jia Waixiong shook his head: "The qualifications are enough, but the small temple cannot tolerate such a great god as you, for fear that you will usurp the throne. , and I feel like you are killing people hard. Look at such a powerful person in Wuzhong, you can kill him with holes all over his body, and he is lying unable to move. I, Mr. Jia, am afraid."
Damn, Lao Jiu pointed at Jia Waixiong and said, "Your uncle doesn't use curse words when he curses people now. It's so destructive...".
Everyone burst into laughter again, feeling slightly dissipated from fatigue.
Although these two people were talking nonsense, what they said was a cruel reality. The Tatars suddenly sent out a vanguard and immediately put the little eunuch in danger. He couldn't defeat him and had to go around. If he arrived at Qingzhou Mansion first, things would happen. It will become complicated. Who knows whether Li Shiyuan will do something earth-shattering to protect the people of Qingzhou Prefecture.
Haifeng County (later Wudi County) is the northernmost place in Shandong. It is still nearly 400 miles away from Qingzhou Prefecture. This road is not easy to walk. Not only do you have to get in front of the Tatar vanguard, but you also have to find a way not to be discovered by them. !
Disaster! It’s really difficult!
But Chang Yu couldn't be bothered, the only way to solve it was... to run in front of him as fast as possible.
Although both men and horses were exhausted, they still had to grit their teeth and run hard. Five hundred soldiers got on their horses and ran wildly along the coastline with their whips raised.
While running, Chang Yu frowned, not because he was worried about what new tricks Dorgon was up to, but because he was worried about the impending disaster for the people along the way.
From Tianjin south to Shandong, it can be said that except for the city of Cangzhou in the west, the rest is a wilderness. It is an extremely remote and barren land. There are even few large villages and towns. It will be a poor place until later generations. At this time What's more, even if the Qing army wanted to plunder, there was nowhere, no one, and nothing to plunder.
But as soon as we entered Shandong, a large area in the northeast of Jinan was densely populated with counties, villages and towns. If Chang Yu had led the way, he could have given an early warning so that the people could avoid disaster early. But now, let alone early warning, they are too busy to deal with the Tatars secretly. Pioneer match foot power.
Fortunately, the Tatar vanguard was in a hurry and did not loot, so it was enough to alert the enemy. I hope those people had the foresight to run away early, otherwise they would not be able to leave any chickens or dogs behind when the main force behind the Tatars arrived.
It's just that there was no need for Dorgon to send a vanguard to Qingzhou Prefecture, so why did he do it suddenly? Could it be that he was alerting the enemy?
It really is!
Since Dorgon made the decision to take Qingzhou Prefecture first, he turned a blind eye to the surrounding ant legs and quickly moved his troops to keep the Ming army far away. There was no need to send a vanguard, but he suddenly discovered that something happened behind him.
The Ming army cavalry, which was originally dozens of miles away, suddenly accelerated its pursuit and pursued them for nearly twenty miles without fear of darkness or ambush. Kong Youde, the Qing army's rear general, sent troops to intercept. However, this Ming army was surprisingly powerful. Not to mention that its 3,000 troops fought tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and its leading generals were so brave that they were like bloodthirsty demons, making them think that the little eunuch was coming in person.
In shock, Kong Youde kept adding more troops to intercept. At one time, he invested as many as five or six thousand men to force the Ming army back!
This is extremely rare!
The Ming army has always been inferior to the Qing army in combat power. In the past, the Qing army defeated the Ming army 1:2 or even 1:3. Even a few days ago, Li Yan led two cavalry guards to block the road in the south of Xianghe City, with 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses. The Qing army only had more than 10,000 soldiers. The cavalry defeated it, but now it took twice as many troops to retreat. Not to mention Kong Youde, even Dorgon of the former army found it incredible.
Little did he know that Tu Yuan and others worked hard to cover Chang Yu's whereabouts and deliberately create chaos to attract the attention of the Qing army.
In the past, Dorgon only fought bravely and fiercely when marching and fighting. In his opinion, it doesn't matter what plots and tricks you have. In front of the powerful strength of our Qing cavalry, everything is a paper tiger!
But since he had more and more fights with the little eunuch and gained less and less advantage, he slowly started to use his brain.
Why did the Ming army suddenly send troops late at night to bite themselves regardless of the danger or the cost?
There must be a plan!
The Ming army was so exhausted that it even exhausted all its strength and failed to catch up. What on earth was he trying to do, using these few troops to hold him back while waiting for reinforcements from the rear?
First, these troops cannot hold back, and second, it is completely unnecessary.
Then... Could it be that the little eunuch saw through his intentions and wanted to go to Qingzhou Mansion to report the news in advance? A flash of inspiration flashed in Dorgon's mind.
"But if they sent detective horses to report the news, there would be no need to make such a fuss. Could it be that they sent a group of soldiers and horses to make such a big noise to cover their smuggling?" I have to say that Dodo has more brains than Azig. .
But Dorgon and others felt that it was impossible. First, there was no evidence to confirm that the Ming army had seen through its intentions. Second, even if it was seen through, what would happen? Its main force was hundreds of miles away and could not catch up, and its three Ming forces were exhausted. , Tan Ma has been conducting in-depth investigations in the past few days and has obtained precise information. Except for the thousands of cavalry dozens of miles behind him, there are no other soldiers and horses around him. The little eunuch is obsessed with using soldiers, but he is not a god. He can't just use soldiers from a distance. Bring the horses.
Finally, even if it sends a single army, what will happen? The tens of thousands of the Ming army's main force are no match for the Qing army, and what effect can a handful of them have?
Having said that, in order to avoid unnecessary complications, Dorgon decided to send a vanguard to Qingzhou Prefecture to establish control and create pressure. If King Heng had the sense to invest in the city, it would be great. If he was stubborn and refused to change, he would wait for the army to massacre the city.
It's just that Dorgon didn't know that just when he decided to launch a vanguard, the young eunuch was walking parallel to him thirty miles east. What he didn't expect was that the young eunuch went to Qingzhou Mansion in person and didn't expect to be carried by just a few hundred soldiers and horses. To be able to hold back his tens of thousands of troops, all he had to do was enter the city first to stabilize the morale of the army and the people, and ensure that they would not open the door and surrender before the main force of the Ming army arrived!
As for whether Dorgon was able to attack or Chang Yu was able to hold on, we won't know until we break the wrist. Anyway, it's not the first time.
