At dawn, thousands of rays of light broke through the clouds. It is a sunny day today.
Chang Yu rubbed his eyes, got out from the gap between two rocks, looked at the red sun in the east and looked around at the mountains. He was so proud that he wanted to recite a poem, but he didn't have anything to say, so he held back a sentence: Really Damn spectacular!
"Heaven, earth, man, everything is spiritual..." Li Muxian looked at the red sun beside a rock not far away with a solemn expression, but Chang Yu exclaimed: "Taoist Master, don't move, there is a snake behind you."
"The factory boss is so naughty so early in the morning... Oh my god..." As Li Muxian was speaking, he caught a glimpse of a big black snake spitting out letters coiled at his feet. He couldn't help but jump up, and the snake bit him fiercely. Go, but in an instant, he is nailed to the ground by a sharp arrow and tossed around randomly.
"Poisonous, but delicious." Kuang Ren came over and pulled out a short knife to remove the bile and peel the skin with skillful techniques.
This, this, Li Muchian's face turned pale with fright, Chang Yu joked: "It's normal for there to be insects, snakes and wild animals camping in the mountains. In the early years of the Taoist priest's travels, he often stayed in the wilderness at night, so he never encountered such a thing? He wouldn't be so scared. Bar"
"I've bumped into it before, but never this close. Maybe Pindao even slept with it in his arms all night."
"It's a pity that it's black. If it were white, Taoist Priest would be so beautiful!" Chang Yu chuckled, while the surrounding guards laughed loudly.
Li Muxian looked a little embarrassed: "I am not that Xu Xian and I am not that Fa Hai, so what is so beautiful... Ahem, besides, Taoism does not allow marriage..."
"Oh, let me go. The Taoist priest still wants to have a wife. He is pursuing it! He is a role model for our generation!" Chang Yu laughed loudly. The weather was good and he was in a good mood. He teased Li Muchian with great enthusiasm. Everyone leaned forward and backward with laughter. The echoes kept coming.
Kuang Ren hunted some more game and roasted it, and everyone felt quite comfortable chatting on the mountain while eating and admiring the scenery. After climbing three poles in the day, they had enough water and food, and the weather was a little hot, so they went down the mountain and headed back.
As soon as they arrived at the mountain col at midnight, Duan Wuhu and Lu Xing rushed over: "The factory supervisor is starting a fight, and there's a fight starting outside."
Chang Yu was shocked and thought that the Qing army was attacking the city, but the time was a bit too hasty.
"The fight started with General Li over the Beiyang River!"
Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "How is the battle going?"
There is no peak where Chang Yu is located, and the view to the north is blocked by Yaowang Mountain and Mingzu Mountain, making it impossible to see the battle situation clearly. He can only listen to the reports from the scouts on Yaowang Mountain.
"The outcome is unknown, but General Li retreated ten miles, and the Qing army also retreated several miles later..." Duan Wuhu interrogated the scouts countless times before Chang Yu arrived and asked for every detail.
"How many troops did the Qing army send?" Chang Yu asked again
"More than 20,000 before and after!" Duan Wuhu said quickly. This is almost the entire regular army of the Qing army. It can be said to be a big deal!
Chang Yu was silent for a while and asked again: "Can you hear the sound of cannons!"
"Yes!" Duan Wuhu nodded, Chang Yu laughed, and everyone asked questions in confusion.
"The Qing army dispatched 20,000 troops. This is not to increase others' prestige and is definitely not a match for Li Yan, but... this time the Qing army did not taste any sweetness. I guess they even made a show of themselves." Chang Yu said and looked at Li Muchian: " What does Taoist Master Fang think?"
Li Muxian nodded slightly: "It's only half a penny! The Tatars didn't take advantage. General Li retreated ten miles and obviously didn't get any favors."
The little eunuch and Li Muxian were both people who could tell autumn with just one leaf. Although they had not been present at the scene, they had guessed the outcome of the battle. However, the process was unimaginably exciting for them.
As early as last night, Duduo had planned an active attack, intending to defeat the Ming army's reinforcements first, and at the worst, to frighten the opponent to find out its strength.
However, his attempt was also discovered by Li Yan at the same time, and both sides made preparations for attack and defense at night.
But there were two things Li Yan didn't expect.
First, the weather is really nice today.
Second, it is really early for the Qing army to take action today.
The two armies fought for thousands of miles from Beijing. They were already familiar with each other's methods, and they started fighting without too many polite words or nonsense. The Qing army took the two brothers Man Dahai and Wakda as the vanguard and led the army. Five thousand soldiers crossed the river and marched westward when the sun rose in the early morning, rushing towards the Ming army's position.
The vanguard of the Ming army's position three miles away from the Beiyang River was Tu Yuan and Hao Yaoqi's 5,000 cavalry. Seeing the Qing army approaching, they rushed forward without hesitation. When they were a hundred steps apart, the two sides fired at each other, with arrows like rain. There were casualties on each other, and they were fighting hand to hand in a blink of an eye.
The Qing army took action early in the morning, which surprised Li Yan. He had just woken up when the two armies were fighting fiercely in the front line. After getting the news, he ordered all his troops to prepare for the battle. Then he was carried by his own soldiers to the hillside to watch the battle. At this time, the rising sun was rising, and the Beiyang River was More than ten thousand soldiers from the two armies were fighting each other for a while, and it was difficult to tell who was better.
Li Yan watched for a while on the hillside of Mingzu Mountain, and then ordered his soldiers to raise the flag. Huang De led more than 10,000 soldiers to send troops to support, while the Qing army on the other side, Nikan, also increased his troops. In the blink of an eye, the two armies were fighting with nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses.
The reputation of the Qing army's cavalry as invincible was not blown out. Even though there were fierce generals like Tu Yuan and Hao Yaoqi in the Ming army's formation, half a stick of incense lacked the stamina and was gradually at a disadvantage.
Li Yan raised the flag again, Zhou Yuji reinforced the Ming army with all his strength, and the Qing army also invested a large force. The two sides fought on the bank of the Beiyang River. The enemy and our armies did not talk about formations or tactics at all. They just fought head-on. After drinking tea, The Ming army was defeated and began to retreat towards Mingzu Mountain while fighting.
Do you want to escape into the mountains? Duduo, who was in charge of the battle, sneered and ordered a fierce attack to pursue him. As long as the enemy was defeated in one fell swoop, he would have no worries and could attack Qingzhou City with all his strength.
It's just that Dodo laughed too early.
The Ming army retreated while fighting, and the Qing army rushed to the foot of the mountain and started fighting fiercely again, but suddenly there was a thunderbolt in the clear sky, oh no, there were many thunderbolts.
But at the first sound, Duduo couldn't help holding his head and yelling, what a bastard!
The Ming army fired artillery again!
The firearms unit of Shenji Battalion is not very effective in combat, but its destructive and striking power is unprecedented and inhumane.
If you don’t take action under normal circumstances, miracles will happen if you take action!
Xishan outside Ningyuan City, north of Baoding Prefecture, Luotuo Camp in the capital, and the Yellow River Ferry in Binzhou, Shenji Camp continued to achieve glory. No matter whether the opponent was the Qing army or the bandit army, wherever the muzzle of the gun was aimed, everyone was treated equally!
Youdao is a trick that has been used all over the world, and Li Yan, who has tasted the benefits, naturally regards it as a treasure, keeping it as a surprise weapon in case of emergencies.
Last night, I and his generals concluded that the Qing army would never let them watch with such eagerness before attacking the city, and they would most likely send troops to fight first.
Li Yan knew that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was not as good as that of the Qing army. Although it had a strength advantage, it was not big or even negligible. In this way, he would definitely not be his opponent in a head-on fight, then...
So he asked Wu Weiying to move the Shenji Battalion up the mountain overnight and find a position halfway up the mountain. Hundreds of tiger soldiers ran away and thousands of muskets waited for the Qing army to arrive.
So when the Qing army suddenly launched an attack early in the morning, it was completely unexpected by Li Yan, but he didn't panic at all. Even when the Ming army was defeated, he remained as steady as a rock.
In fact, the Tengxiang Guards and Jinwu Guards, the most junior of the tens of thousands of Ming Army cavalry, have been considered warriors on the battlefield since their debut in Taiyuan, not to mention Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji's subordinates, so even if they are not as good as the Qing army's combat effectiveness, they are still capable of fighting. He won't lose so quickly.
Li Yan had already planned this, so although the Ming army was defeated quickly, it was natural. The Qing army pursued the Ming army to the foot of the mountain without any doubts and with high morale.
Within range, Li Yan ordered the bombardment without hesitation.
Hundreds of field artillery fired in unison, and the shells hit the Qing army's rear lines like hail, causing people to fall over and scream. However, at this moment, more than 3,000 musketeers from the Shenji Battalion ambushed at the foot of the mountain rushed to the battle circle and opened fire alternately.
Bang bang bang bang...
In an instant, the Qing army was in chaos at the rear. The Ming army in front was swept by a huge wave of carbine, and the Qing army retreated where the wave peak reached.
Duduo was shocked and angry. He watched the Ming army's artillery roaring halfway up the mountain but was helpless. There were also the hateful Ming army musketeers at the foot of the mountain. Thousands of people fired in turns, causing heavy casualties to the Qing army. However, they turned around and headed up the mountain after firing their guns. It was really hateful to run, which made Doduo gnash his teeth in anger!
retreat! It was obvious that the Ming army had already dug a hole, and with artillery support at the top, it would be impossible to gain any advantage if they continued to fight, so Duduo decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops.
Li Yan did not give the order to pursue, but instead ordered to retreat several miles. He knew the gap with the Qing army. If he left the fire range of the Shenji Camp, he would suffer a big loss if he really failed.
The battle started suddenly and fiercely. They plotted against each other all night long, but no one got any advantage.
