The noise of more than two thousand armored soldiers being chopped into a group was very loud, and it quickly attracted the attention of superior leaders.
On the Tatar side was the candidate Manchurian No. 1 warrior, Zhenglan Banner La Zhangjing Arzin. When he learned that the former army had surrounded thousands of Ming army elite iron soldiers, he took it for granted that they must be some great elites - —Armored soldiers! At least he is at the level of a servant. In this battlefield, it goes without saying that he must be Zhu Cixiang, the prince's personal guard!
Therefore, without any hesitation, Alzin took the remaining four Jia La and nearly 3,000 Eight Banners soldiers to support the Jia La led by Mu Chen in front.
But Tian Qingyi's superior Wang Zhou thought that Tian Qingyi's two battalions had collided with the Eight Banners Han Army... It was impossible for the real Tatars to be real Tatars, how powerful the real Tatars were! How could Tian Qingyi's two battalions be able to withstand it? Of course, the opponent couldn't be the green camp. The green camp soldiers couldn't defeat Tian Xiucai's two battalions.
Therefore, the opponent can only be the Eight Banners Han Army, and most of them are the dead soldiers in the rear!
Why does he think so? Because the Eight Banners coating on the front line of Daqianling has been destroyed! Twenty-four 3-pound cannons fired for half a night, firing more than a thousand stone and iron bullets, leaving holes on the eastern slope of Daqianling Ridge. From the moment the first ray of morning glow appeared at the end of the eastern sky, the Ming army began to cross the Qingliu River and launch a counterattack against the Qing army on the other side of the stream.
With one blow, the Eight Banners soldiers on the other side of the stream cried for their mothers and ran up the hillside... They were forced by Hauge to be cannon fodder for most of the night, real cannon fodder, 24 cannons were not finished Without Todoroki, they would have been driven to a nervous breakdown long ago!
However, the fact that they dared to run up the hillside also meant that the Eight Banners soldiers holding the formation had already moved... and had obviously run away!
Now he also believed Tian Qingyi's previous judgment, thinking that the main force of the Tatars was no longer on the east slope of Daqianling Ridge, but crossed Qingliu Creek and escaped via the Guandao Road - but Qingliu Creek can also escape , but the official road leading to the pool is on the east bank of Qingliu River. If they do not take the official road, the Qing army's march will slow down and it will be easy to catch up.
It was based on this judgment that while Wang Zhou sent someone to report to Zhu Cixiang, he mobilized five battalions with a total of 2,500 people to support Tian Xiucai, leaving only 500 people from one battalion to guard the position.
The 2,500 men led by Wang Zhou and the 3,000 men led by Alzin arrived at the battlefield almost at the same time.
Because Alzin had previously discovered that the two armies were fighting together on the battlefield, and the terrain was not open enough, making it difficult to launch a cavalry attack. Moreover, the opponent still had a large number of "white poles" in his hands, so he simply ordered his men to dismount and go into battle with bows, arrows, swords, shields and carbines. As a result, Wang Zhou mistakenly thought it was the Han army again - although this Wang Zhou was a veteran of the Yongwei Camp, he had never fought against the Tatars. I couldn't tell the difference between the Manchu and Han armies, so I took it for granted that it was mostly the Han armies who dismounted and fought. So he was no longer afraid, and directly commanded five battalions to launch an assault. Two battalions personally broke through the newly formed encirclement surrounding Tian Qingyi's command, and the rest collided with the numerically superior Manchurian soldiers.
Because the Manchurian soldiers that Alzin brought this time all brought carbines and formed a spear formation! So this time, two gun arrays collided, and the casualties became heavy immediately. The corpses of both sides were piled on the ground, and the soldiers who followed stepped on the corpses and started fighting. The Manchus still had the upper hand, but the five battalions brought by Wang Zhou still withstood the Manchu offensive with their strong armor and rattan shields.
The two sides once again fell into a stalemate!
Facing the fierce and stalemate battle, Wang Zhou and Alzin also made the same decision and asked for help from above!
Wang Zhou's superior is now Zhu Cihong, the prince of Fujun in the Ming Dynasty. At this time, he has "net" a big fish. It was the more than 4,000 people under Mulima's command who detoured from the southern route!
Arzin, who was detouring from the north, was cautious and sent people to test. As a result, he met Tian Xiucai, a newborn calf, and beat him as a traitor from the rear. But Mulima was not so careful. The large group of people rushed forward and rushed to the front of the Ming army's position. However, his luck was not much better, and he ran directly into a strong formation composed of two New Army infantry regiments. Bows and arrows were charged against bows and arrows, and spears were charged against spears for several times, but nothing was obtained except dead bodies and three to two hundred wounded soldiers. Moreover, Zhu Cihong and Wu Sanfu were beaten as big fish - Zhu Cihong felt that there was no problem on the front. Twenty-four 3-pound cannons were showing their power, and there were twenty model battalions. What problems could there be?
There seems to be no problem with the right wing... According to Wang's report at the beginning of Monday, Tian Xiucai led two battalions and fought evenly with the Tatars. Obviously, there are no large groups of Tatars.
Therefore, Zhu Cixiang did not take the enemy situation on the right wing seriously, but began to arrange to encircle and annihilate the Qing army on the left wing!
At this time, he still had 4 cavalry battalions, 4 model battalions and 1 guard battalion on hand. The guard battalion cannot be moved, and the only ones that can be used are 4 cavalry battalions and 4 model battalions.
So Zhu Cixi transferred his own 4 cavalry battalions and 1 model battalion. A total of five battalions with nearly 2,500 people were handed over to Wang Yan, the commander of the rear army division, and asked him to lead them to detour towards Mulima's right wing.
While ordering Wang Yan to make a detour, Zhu Cixiang received a report from Wang Qi, the commander of the Chinese Army Division in charge of the front, saying that the Tatars on Daqianling were exhausted and requested to launch a counterattack immediately.
After Zhu Cihong discussed with Wu Sanfu, he also approved Wang Qi's plan and ordered him to act expeditiously.
Just when the situation on the front and the left wing was looking great, and a big victory was imminent, the right wing, which had seemed quite stable, suddenly had a problem.
The two regiments commanded by Wang Zhou seemed to be fighting together with the 4,000 to 5,000 bannermen...
It is said to be the Han army, but the situation is a bit critical no matter how you look at it!
"Master Qiansui, why don't you call back Wang Huzi's five battalions." Wu Xiang's reserve team was a little small, and he was a little unsure - he could now protect the crown prince of Fujun in the Ming Dynasty, who was actually the top leader. !
If anything happens, Emperor Chongzhen will take back his power. What will the old Wu family do then?
"Wang Beard is almost successful!" Zhu Cixiang shook his head, "Even if 1,000 Tatars are eaten, it will be a rare victory! The situation in the north looks okay... Sanfu, why don't you bring 2 Let’s go to a model camp to provide support.”
"Master Chitose," Wu Sanfu shook his head, "there is only one guard camp and one model camp left around you..."
"That's enough!" Zhu Cixiang smiled, "With Sun Fugui guarding us, nothing will happen."
Sun Fugui was born as a servant of the Wu family. Two generations of father and son were loyal to the Wu family. His father was killed by the Tatars when he was still fighting with Wu Xiang, so he was regarded as a loyal queen.
They followed Zhu Cixiang's "Yuan Cong" in Beijing. From the time they broke out of the siege in Beijing, they worked almost every task and contributed a lot of hard work. However, Zhu Cixiang never regarded them as his most reliable confidants - because they were always old members of the Wu family. It was not until Zheng Chagu entered the palace and Wu Sanmei gave birth to a daughter that things changed.
After Sun Fugui completed the first "short-term training course" in the martial arts school, he was put into a position of great importance and became the foreman guard, that is, Zhu Cixiang's guard battalion commander - this was a job with a bright future!
Zhu Cihong paused and then said: "There are still a few battalions by the Qingliu River. They are being gathered up now and can be transferred over later."
Wu Sanfu thought about it and seemed to think it was more reliable, so he followed Zhu Cixiang's order and led two model battalions to support Wang Zhou.
At this time, two or three miles east of the battlefield where Wang Zhou and Alzin fought, in the sparse woods, Hauge and the two Jia La Zhang Jing Luo Tuo and Yi De of the Zheng Lan Banner were leading about three soldiers. More than a thousand Qing army infantry and cavalry without any flags quietly sneaked towards the place where Zhu Cixiang's flag was.
It turned out that Hauge had abandoned the Baoji minions and the Han army who had suffered repeated defeats and suffered heavy losses, quietly left Daqianling, and crossed the Qingliu River with the Baya La soldiers from Zhenglan Banner and some other elite Tatar soldiers. Xi, unknowingly got around to the back of Zhu Cixiang's army!
