"Xinye...Cangtai...Weijiaji..."
Emperor Kangxi was pacing in his south study room with his hands behind his back around a large map spread on the floor, mumbling a few maps as he walked. This map is the geographical situation map of Nanyang Prefecture. Xinye City, Cangtai Town, and Weijiaji were densely packed with military numbers.
If Xinye, Cangtai and Weijiaji are connected by a line, they will almost form an equilateral triangle. Among them, Xinye is located in the north, Cangtai is in the southeast, and Weijiaji is in the southwest. And these three places are now where Emperor Kangxi ambushed his troops!
Emperor Kangxi assembled an army of 130,000 for this battle. These 130,000 troops formed fifteen more hills, including ten for the Eight Banners New Army, one for the Green Battalion, and four for the Mongolian cavalry. In order to encircle and annihilate or severely damage Zhuge Sanhe's Ming army in Xinye, Kangxi invested heavily in ten Gushan - including nine Eight Banners New Army Gushan and one Green Camp Gushan.
These ten Gushans have a large establishment of 10,000 people. Two of them participated in the Battle of Wulin and suffered heavy losses. However, now they have also added green soldiers, which can be regarded as a complete number of people. Four of the ten Gushan are now ambushed in Xinye City, and the remaining six are divided into two and are hiding in Cangtai and Weijiaji, two towns that were once large but are now quite deserted. .
The reason why Kangxi wanted to divide these ten Gushan into three parts and ambush them in Xinye County and the two big towns of Cangtai and Weijiaji was of course to prevent them from being discovered by the "celestial soldiers". Without the existence of these "celestial soldiers", it would have been much easier for the Qing army to conduct mobile warfare and ambush warfare in the flat and open Nanyang Basin. Because they have more and stronger cavalry, they can completely cover the troops.
But now that the Ming army is in the sky, it will be difficult for Kangxi's army to escape. They either choose to operate at night, or they have to enter an ambush position in advance. Otherwise, it will be difficult to ensure the suddenness of the ambush... Once the suddenness is lost, the Ming army can retreat very calmly and return to their camp in Lianghekou Town. It is also possible to build fortifications on the spot and wait. aid.
Considering the strength advantage of the Ming army, it is entirely possible for them to deploy more troops to reinforce the besieged northward troops. The Qing army was smaller in number. Once the opponent came to the center and surrounded it on all sides, it would be doomed... At that time, Kangxi would have to choose between "Shun Emperor" and "Chongzhen" Got it!
Therefore, after Kangxi determined that the target of the Ming army was Xinye instead of Nanyang or other places, he used the method of marching day and night to send ten elite soldiers from Gushan to Xinye, Cangtai, and Weijiaji. Lurking.
The remaining Eight Banners New Army Gushan (Zhenghuang Banner Central Army) and the Four Mongolian Cavalry Gushan, with a total of more than 30,000 people, were concentrated in Nanyang as the general reserve force.
Li Fei, Du Lide, Feng Pu and Mingzhu, the four ministers and bachelors of the South Study Room, did not lead the troops out of the battle, so they were all kneeling next to the big map in the South Study Room. The pearl that had been spanked was still holding on to a cane, and his eyes were full of tears. It made people sympathize with him - his tears were not shed for his own butt, but for his precious son Nalan Xing. De cried. Nalan Xingde was taken hostage by Fat Zhuge... Once Fat Zhuge found out that he had been fooled, he would definitely chop Xingde into pieces.
So this Nalan Pearl has lost a son!
When Nalan Mingzhu was feeling sad, there was a rush of footsteps outside the south study room, and then she saw Duoluan, the leading bodyguard, hurried in. Duolong first bowed to Kangxi, then handed over a lacquered document with both hands and said: "Your Majesty, this is the urgent military information that Prince Kang sent from Xinye."
Prince Kang Aixinjueluo Jieshu is the iron king. His Prince Kang is actually the Prince Li who was passed down from Daishan, and can be replaced hereditary.
After Yue Le lost the Battle of Wulin, he naturally replaced Yue Le and became the "chief general" of Aisin Gioro. Now all the ten solid mountains deployed in Xinye, Cangtai and Weijiaji are under his control!
In addition, Yue Le and Tong Guogang commanded the Qing troops in Cangtai and Weijiaji respectively.
"The rebels must have moved out, right?" Kangxi took the document, opened it, and said calmly, "Although Zhuge Sanhe has an army of hundreds of thousands, he must use half of his troops to surround Xiangfan. Those who can move At most only half..." As he spoke, Kangxi suddenly fell silent and frowned slightly.
The Nan Study Room immediately became quiet. After a while, Mingzhu finally couldn't help but asked cautiously: "Long live Lord, has Zhuge Sanhe sent troops?"
"Troops have been sent out... Fifty thousand troops have been sent out, carrying the banner of the Governor of Zhuge Sanhe and the banner of the Prince of Xingwu County, and are encamping step by step along the Baihe River."
"Battle at every step?" Mingzhu's heart pounded, "Long live my Lord, Zhuge has always been cautious in his life...Zhuge Sanhe has always been cautious in using troops. If it were Zhuge Heshang, he might have been attacking Xinye by now. ”
"That's right." Kangxi nodded, "Zhuge Sanhe was very slow when he attacked Anqing, and this time he didn't let go of anything outside Xiangfan."
"The Emperor's Holy Might."
Kangxi thought for a moment and then said: "Give Prince Kang an order... Let him send troops tomorrow night!"
"Tomorrow night?" Mingzhu reminded, "Long live, if Zhuge Sanhe sticks to the plan step by step, the hundred-mile road from Lianghekou Camp to Xinye will probably take three days."
Kangxi waved his hand, "We can't let him arrive at Xinye City... Zhuge likes to build a stronghold very much. When the time comes, he will definitely build a stronghold that we can't even attack!"
Mingzhu thought about it and felt that Kangxi was becoming more and more sage now, so she sent another flattery: "The Emperor is a sage!"
Kangxi breathed out and said to himself: "Whether it is a saint or not, it depends on whether you can win..."
Yes, if he loses, he will be Emperor Qingshun. How can he be a saint?
...
In the AD year, at the end of December, the new year is approaching.
At this time, the land in the Northeast is frozen the hardest. The area around the mouth of the Liaohe River, which is densely covered with river branches and wetlands, is covered with silvery white and is completely frozen into a flat river. Although the wind was as cold as a blade and the temperature was extremely low, the march went smoothly. On the frozen black land at the mouth of the Liaohe River, a long blue dragon is rolling forward, including infantry, cavalry, baggage troops, artillery, engineers, as well as civilians recruited from Tianwang City in Jinzhou, Liaodong, and who-knows-where The Mongols who came drove their mules, horses and carts together, all the way to the west.
When the troops finally set up camp, they didn't need to set up any strongholds. They only needed to surround the four-wheeled carts accompanying the army in a circle, and then move the sacks of rice and noodles from the carts down to the first base, and then put them on the outside. One round of rejection is enough.
The reason why this can be so "sloppy" is because the surrender of Wu Yingqi, Ma Bao, and Burni brought nearly 10,000 cavalry to the Liaodong Army of the Ming Dynasty. Among them, elite soldiers such as Wu Zhou Jiading and Chahar Tieshu Cavalry were not sent. !
In addition, the Liaodong Ming Army already had a large number of cavalry, and with the cavalry brought by Wu Yingqi, Ma Bao, and Burni, they could already form a cavalry regiment of tens of thousands of cavalry!
This amount is enough for Qing Dynasty Shengjing General Bahai and Liaodong Commander-in-Chief Wang Fuchen to drink a pot.
In fact, with these tens of thousands of elite cavalry, the reconnaissance cavalry sent by Bahai and Wang Fuchen could not get close to the Ming army group that was advancing westward.
Therefore, these two people now have no way of knowing the number, equipment, marching direction and specific location of the Ming army's brigade.
By the time they find out, these Ming troops outside the Pass will soon arrive in front of Shanhaiguan!
And the number of the Ming army along this route, excluding the accompanying civilian servants and Mongolian herdsmen, was also upwards of 100,000! When Dorgon entered the country with great momentum to seize the world, he only had this number of soldiers and horses.
Therefore, Liu Jinzhong, Zhao Zhongyi, Su Zhanshan, Ling Zongjun, Ma Bao, Ma Weixing and others who led this army all believed that as long as Wang Fuchen was not crazy, he would definitely be "Wang Sangui"!
