At noon, dark clouds covered the sun, and the southeast wind gradually picked up.
Five miles away on the bank of the river in Beiyang, more than 10,000 Ming army cavalrymen were ready to attack with murderous intent. General Tu Yuanhao waved his horse and gathered around with a few scouts under the shade of a tree, pulling something on the ground.
The soldiers came to report: Zhou Yuji and Huang De's troops were five miles away.
Tu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said to Hao Yongzhong: "Here comes the one who steals the credit."
Hao Yongzhong shrugged: "This food is too big for one person to eat. If there is meat, everyone can eat it."
"That makes sense." Tu Yuan hummed and asked Jia Wai where the Xiong and Laojiu battalions were. The soldiers informed the young eunuch guarding the rear.
Chang Yu originally had more than a hundred soldiers, but only a few dozen remained after the battle. On weekdays, he was more than enough to be on duty, but on the battlefield, he seemed to be stretched thin. After all, the governor of the East Factory needed heavy protection around him.
After a while, Zhou Yuji and Huang De led more than a hundred cavalry to arrive in front of the formation. After looking northward for a while, they saw Tu Yuan and Hao Yongzhong still studying the terrain under the shade of a tree and asked, "Are we going to fight?"
Tu Yuan shook his head: "The time has not come yet, and the Tatars have not responded yet, but we must be prepared." He gestured with branches on the ground: "The Tatars camped near the river, but the water near the river is deep and we cannot cross the river directly. It must be bypassed from the east and west wings..."
A few people squatted together and murmured for a long time. After evolving the offensive tactics several times, they felt that they were almost certain to prevent it. Seeing that the time was almost up and Dorgon hadn't replied yet, Tu Yuan said to Zhou Yuji: "I guess we really have to fight today. It's all for nothing." Yan was delayed for most of the day."
Zhou Yuji squinted his eyes and looked towards the north: "Li Yan calls for troops to attack!"
"What do you mean?" Tu Yuan didn't understand, and Huang Degong added: "He means that our realm is not as good as Li Yan's. We only know how to shout and kill. Isn't that Old Zhou?"
Zhou Yuji smiled and said: "No matter how good the strategy is, it will not ultimately require strong soldiers and bloody battles to implement it. I'm just saying that the realms are different, but there is no distinction between high and low."
"You, you, I think of Li Yan more and more as I talk. I told you not to play with him, and that naughty nose, look at his virtues of pretending to be weird all day long..." Huang Degong started to complain again.
After a while, Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong's troops also arrived. Thirty thousand cavalrymen of the Ming Army gathered here in a majestic and imposing manner. Tu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Where is the factory owner?"
"When I arrived, the governor was still drinking tea with Li Yan in the palace, but he hasn't left yet," Zhou Yuji said.
"Hey, in the past, the factory boss would be impatient whenever there was a fight, but now he is so calm." Tu Yuan was a little confused. Zhou Yuji turned his head and whispered, "I guess it's because Prince Heng's money hasn't been loaded into the car yet." Several people heard the sound and laughed.
At the same time, there was a lot of hype in Dorgon's headquarters. The terms of the peace talks must protect one's own interests without irritating the Ming army. This is a very difficult degree to grasp. Judging from the fact that the Ming army pressed the enemy just after replying to the letter. , the Ming army's bottom line is too shallow, and they will kill you if they disagree with you.
After all, no matter the time, place, or people, the Ming army has the advantage!
So in the tent, you and I expressed their opinions and argued with each other. Dorgon saw it and hated it in his heart. Once upon a time, the Qing Dynasty had been showing off its power in the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years. It was extremely glorious to do whatever it wanted, not to mention the Ming army. He stopped him and walked around without even daring to see her. But now he is in this situation. If he wants to go home safely, it depends on his face.
"Since we are talking about peace, we can't do it in one step so that there is room for mediation. We just want to put forward a condition to find out the bottom." Duduo finally made the decision. It seems that he still wants to delay time by talking about peace!
Dorgon and the generals nodded in agreement. When it was difficult to raise any conditions, the soldiers outside reported urgently: The main force of the Ming army from the rear had arrived, with tens of thousands of people arriving!
There was an uproar in the tent!
Previously, when the Ming army sent troops to approach, Dorgon and others were lucky enough to think that they were just trying to scare people, but mobilizing tens of thousands of troops to advance was definitely no joke.
Dorgon was so angry that his veins swelled as he clenched his fists tightly. Duduo pulled him and sighed: "As far as this is concerned, it's not as good as..."
Dorgon then ordered that Geng Zhongming led 5,000 troops out of camp to support Nikan in defending the Beiyang River. Shang Kexi went to negotiate with the Ming army and at the same time ordered Mandahai in front to lead the heavy supply camp to advance rapidly.
Seeing that the time limit had expired and the Qing army had not responded yet, when Zhou Yuji and others were about to unsheath their steel swords, Shang Kexi crossed the river to two miles away in front of the formation and sent someone to deliver a message.
"I want to see what conditions the bastard Tatars put forward." Huang Degong grabbed it and opened it to take a look... Humph! "What did Lao Zhou and the others write?"
Everyone laughed, and Huang Degong rolled his eyes: "It's funny, you seem to be literate."
There's nothing wrong with that. There really aren't many people who can read.
Zhou Yuji took it and glanced at it, then closed it and handed it to a soldier: "Send to the factory supervisor urgently."
"What are you writing about?" Everyone gathered around and asked.
Zhou Yuji looked at Shang Kexi's small group of more than a hundred people in the north and sneered: "The thieves are determined to get lucky and are still playing tricks. The Tatars said that we should let Azig go, and they can leave the customs without disturbing them along the way." If they don't release the people, they will do evil, and there is no mention of releasing the captured people, animals and property."
"This damn skin is itchy." Huang Degong spat and said, "That little bastard has no good intentions. We have to scratch him!"
"No! It's impossible for the factory owner to agree to these conditions." Tu Yuan rubbed his hands: "It's obvious that the Tatars still want to take the opportunity to delay." He looked at Zhou Yuji and said, "Commander Zhou, let's do it!"
"Old Zhou, let's fuck him first," Huang Degong also shouted. Before sending troops, Chang Yu appointed Zhou Yuji as the frontline commander. He was the biggest here.
Zhou Yuji withdrew his gaze from a distance: "To fight or not to fight is something that only the factory supervisor can decide." Huang Degong became anxious upon hearing this. Zhou Yuji raised his hand to stop him and said, "Don't worry, everyone, Tatars have such conditions in the factory." As long as the governor looks at it, he must slap them back, so we will wait a little longer, but we have nothing to do and let's warm up first."
Hehe, the generals were overjoyed, and Huang Degong shouted: "Old Zhou, please give the order."
Shang Kexi looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, stretched out a hand to see if any rain had fallen, and then looked at the massive crowds of tens of thousands of Ming troops on the opposite side. The hundred or so of his men were like canoes in the ocean. It could be swallowed up by huge waves at any time.
At this moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart, then... now...
Apart from sighing, I was also puzzled as to why there was no movement from the other party after I passed the letter. According to the rules, someone should come forward to discuss it. But the Ming army did not follow the rules and received the letter without even saying hello. He's left here to dry.
My majestic King Zhishun of the Qing Dynasty was standing here with no one paying attention, being watched by tens of thousands of Ming troops as if they were watching monkeys. Shang Ke was happy not to mention very annoyed.
"My lord, retreat quickly!" Just when Shang Ke was happy and annoyed, the soldiers suddenly shouted, and saw the Ming army on the opposite side rushing over. Tens of thousands of cavalry, with overwhelming momentum, the sound of horse hooves shook the earth...
Shang Ke was so happy and frightened that he turned his horse around and ran away, fearing that he would be trampled to pieces if he took a step too late.
