Duduo naturally recognized it, it was the Qing Dynasty's detective horse coming back. However, seeing that hurried look, his heart tightened. Before he had time to think about anything, he could already see Tan Ma's expression clearly, panic? anxious? Or are you still afraid?
At this time, Tan Ma, who was running wildly, didn't seem to know that he had become the focus of everyone's attention. He just looked at Duduo's banner and galloped towards him. When he got close, he reined in his horse and stopped suddenly. The horse's front hooves were straightened out in pain. He got up, but didn't care about the exploration of the horse at all. He rolled his saddle and dismounted, knelt down, raised his head, and loudly reported: "Your Highness, countless Ming army warships were found on the seashore!"
Upon hearing this, Duduo immediately frowned and shouted: "Try again!"
He knew that this was Tan Ma's first report, so he only had preliminary information on the enemy. Otherwise, if he waited to find out the detailed information before reporting, it would delay the big event.
"Cha!" Tan Ma received the order, immediately stood up, stepped back a few steps, then immediately jumped on his horse and hurried away.
Seeing this scene, all Jianlu knew that there must be an emergency, and it wasn't good news. Judging from where Tan Ma came, maybe there was something going on with the Ming army.
But they didn't know the scale of the movement. Was it a sudden movement by the Gaizhou Ming Army or something else? Therefore, most of the Jianlu looked at each other and made wild guesses in low voices.
Seeing Duduo frowning, after finishing Ning, I turned my head to look at the trench work that was about to be completed, then looked down at the pen and paper in my hand, and finally looked up at Duduo, comforting me: "Your Highness, don't worry, even if there is movement on the sea , but the Ming army has to land, rest and recuperate, and it will take two or three days to arrive at Yaozhou Station. If the Ming army dares to rush here, I, the Qing Dynasty, will wait for the hard work. Maybe it will be a credit given to His Highness by God. Got it!"
Generally speaking, this is indeed the case. The Ming army came across the sea by boat, so they had to rest for a day, right? Otherwise, how can we fight?
It's also strange that Tan Ma didn't make it clear, he just said he came from the sea. But actually we can’t blame Jianlu Tanma. Jianlu knew nothing about things at sea. Naturally, they didn't know that the Ming Army had already built a dock on the other side of Lianyun Island Pass, landed from a place they couldn't see, and had already rested on the island.
If the Ming army landed on the island and waited for the ship, then their reward would naturally not be wrong. Sometimes, the details of the war are like this, and it is not wrong to say that they are wrong, but the impact is very important.
After listening to Ning's words, Duduo nodded gloomily, raised his head and stared at the trench work, and suddenly asked sharply: "If I order the attack to begin now, will this trench be available?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Wan knew that he wanted to take down Yaozhou Station with some casualties before the Ming army arrived.
He could understand this feeling. Not only was the reason for the failure, but also because the Qing Dynasty had not won a victory against the Ming army for a long time. Therefore, he did not dare to neglect, thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, you can immediately drive to the other side of the trench. After digging it wide, if you charge again, the casualties will be smaller than before."
After hearing this, Duduo did not hesitate and immediately ordered to prepare to attack Yaozhouyi.
After the military order was passed, Jianlu, who was digging a ditch, began to dig on both sides, trying to make the exit larger so that more Qing warriors could rush out at once. In addition, the ordering soldiers also rushed back to the camp immediately, and the soldiers who wanted to lie down in the camp immediately had their stomachs full and rushed over to join the battle.
The atmosphere at Yaozhouyi suddenly became tense.
However, compared to Jianlu's nervousness, the Ming army in Yaozhou Station was much more relaxed. Naturally, Li Guo would not miss the abnormality of Jianlu's probing of the horse. From this glance, he knew what he was doing, and immediately quietly sent an order: "Reinforcements will arrive soon, and victory is at hand!"
"Drive... drive..."
The rapid sound of horse hooves sounded again at Yaozhou Station. This time, it was not a few exploration horses, but a group of Jianlu exploration horses appeared from the direction of Gaizhou, galloping towards the banner of Prince Yu. And along the way, they were no longer just walking in silence, but were shouting something loudly.
The Jianlu cavalry who had cut off the back road of Yaozhou Post were the first to hear the shouts of those probing horses. It can be seen that they immediately became nervous.
The original battle to attack Yaozhou Station had basically nothing to do with them. It was just to prevent the Ming army from Yaozhou Station from escaping back to Gaizhou. Therefore, they looked very relaxed and leisurely. Even many Jianlu were not riding horses. Once the Ming army really had Breaking through, it would not be too late for them to mount their horses and intercept.
However, at this time, all the Jianlu were seen getting on their horses in a panic, and immediately began to gather closer to each other, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Seeing this scene, although Li Guo didn't hear what Jianlu Tanma was shouting, he was even more sure that it was the reinforcements from the capital that the Governor had said before!
After confirming this, he immediately called Li Dingguo, told him the situation, and asked him to prepare for it. And the general issued an order to prepare the artillery.
On Duduo's side, he naturally saw the nervousness of the cavalry over there. Suddenly, Dorgon's numerous instructions flashed through his mind, asking him to pay close attention to the movements of the Ming Emperor and the cavalry camp. .
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the shouts of the galloping horses: "The Ming Dynasty's cavalry camp has come ashore, and they are gathering to fight... The Ming Dynasty's cavalry camp has come ashore, and they are gathering to fight..."
Hearing this, Ning Wanwo suddenly became excited and quickly said to Duduo: "Your Highness, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has many tricks and the cavalry battalion is fierce in combat. It is important to avoid the enemy's sharp edge!"
He was afraid that Duduo, who had never suffered a loss at the hands of the Ming Emperor, would force himself. Dorgon has repeatedly warned him that if something happens, he will be held accountable!
With a "snap" sound, the riding whip heard the sound, and hit Ning Wanwo on the shoulder with a whip, making him grin and feel a little dazed at the same time.
"Do you think this king is a stupid pig like you?" Duduo said with a ferocious face and shouted, then he left Ning me alone and immediately began to issue military orders, deploy troops and generals, and assemble the entire army to prepare for the enemy. .
At this time, he was naturally very angry. We are about to conquer Yaozhou Station, and it is very likely that we can conquer Yaozhou Station. At this juncture, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty comes to cause trouble. Let alone him, even if Yue Tuo, Haoge and others are here, they will definitely do it. Very angry and unwilling!
The cavalry in the rear received Duduo's military order and immediately turned around, preparing to join the infantry. Tens of thousands of horses rumbled past Yaozhou Station.
"Boom boom boom..."
At this time, the Ming army from Yaozhou Station actually "played music to see them off".
Although this cavalry army did not pass by Yaozhou Post, at least Yaozhou Post was on the official road. Jianlu Cavalry and Yaozhou Post kept their distance and circled back, and it was impossible to go as far as five or six miles away. This place, that could be that wide.
If it had happened in the past, the Jianlu Cavalry would have passed by in batches. But at this time, from the side of Gaizhou, the famous Hussars Battalion of the Ming Dynasty was coming towards them. The Jianlu Cavalry Army was in a hurry to go back and join the infantry, so they were a little panicked. For a moment, the already " The threat of the Yaozhou Yiming Army was subconsciously reduced.
Therefore, when the cannon sounded, the Jianlu Cavalry Army signaled that the Yaozhou Yiming Army was coming from a tiger with sharp teeth. However, it was too late for them to wake up. At the same time as the sound of cannons sounded, iron bullets were fired.
Li Guo had long expected that the Jianlu Cavalry would withdraw and made corresponding arrangements. Hongyi cannon and other heavy artillery secretly moved this way or turned their muzzles this way. In just the first wave of attacks, there were more than twenty Iron bullet.
The iron bullets fired in a straight line, and anything in the way, whether it was people or horses, was shattered into pieces. Everyone could see that more than a dozen cracks suddenly appeared in the torrent of cavalry, as if someone cut off the flow with a knife.
The torn corpses of the men and horses hindered the subsequent cavalry. For a moment, the men and horses rolled over a lot, making the Jianlu cavalry that had retreated in chaos suddenly become even more chaotic.
Seeing this scene, Li Guo couldn't help but said regretfully: "It's a pity that the flintlocks and bows and arrows don't have enough range. Otherwise, they would have beaten this cavalry to half a disability!"
"How about I go and charge for a while?" After hearing this, Li Dingguo immediately asked for orders.
After Li Guo heard this, he shook his head and said, "The emperor will be here soon with his army, so don't cause trouble!"
"I will obey your orders!" Li Dingguo heard this and did not argue. He immediately agreed and went to pay attention to Jianlu's movements.
The shelling this time actually had limited damage to the Jianlu people, but it had a huge impact on the morale of the Jianlu people. It was even more obvious when the Ming Dynasty cavalry attacked.
Duduo was deploying, preparing to have a good fight with the Ming Dynasty Hussars Battalion who came to help, when he suddenly saw such an episode, and his face suddenly became as ugly as possible. Turning around to look at his infantrymen, he saw that everyone seemed to be in a panic. Even the most elite white-armored soldiers had solemn looks on their faces. He knew that he wanted to fight first. I'm afraid it's going to turn yellow.
At this moment, another scout horse galloped over and reported to Duduo in a panic: "Your Highness, the Ming Dynasty Hussars Battalion is suspected to have rested at Lianyun Island Pass. The troops are in good order and their morale is high. They have not crossed the sea at all." I feel tired. Now there are about 3,000 cavalry in the vanguard, about thirty miles away from Yaozhou Post."
As soon as he heard this, Duduo didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately sent an order to withdraw his troops and retreated to the camp.
However, the retreat of the army, especially the infantry, cannot be done at the drop of a hat. The hussar camp obviously arrived faster than Jianlu expected. The rumble of horse hooves was like thunder rolling from the sky. Suddenly, the demons and monsters in the world were so scared that they peeed and fled away, throwing away their helmets and armor.
In just a short while, two incomplete camps were abandoned in the south of Yaozhou Station, and in the north of Yaozhou Station, shovels, hoes, and planks for laying trenches were scattered all over the place. If you are careful, you can also find among these debris, there are also spilled ink inkstones, discarded brushes and the like.
Seeing the heroic appearance of their comrades from the Hussar Battalion galloping in, the Ming army officers and soldiers in Yaozhou Station all cheered together.
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
"..."
This voice resounded in the sky above Yaozhouyi!
The soldiers of the Hussars Battalion continued to gallop forward, but when they passed Yaozhou Post, they all straightened up on their horses and saluted with military courtesy!
Not long after, thousands more cavalry troops from the Hussars Battalion came galloping and roared past. It's as if everything in this world now belongs to the Ming Dynasty!
An hour later, the remaining soldiers of the Hussars Battalion also escorted Emperor Chongzhen to Yaozhou Post.
Seeing the emperor's guard of honor, immediately, whether it was the Dongjiang Army soldiers who had rarely seen the emperor, or the Cheying soldiers who had not seen the emperor for a year, they all greeted the emperor on their horses with their most fanatical excitement.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
An emperor who can lead the army to fight and lead the army to victory is far more loved by his officers and soldiers than an emperor who sits in the Forbidden City all his life.
When the shouts of tens of thousands of people are gathered together, they can be heard far and wide. Even the Jianlu in the Jianlu camp five or six miles away knew that the Ming Emperor had arrived!
If it were in the past, Jianlu might have been excited for the Ming Emperor to come to the battlefield. They would have thought that if they could catch the Ming Emperor, they would have made a huge contribution.
But nowadays, not many Jianlu have such unrealistic fantasies anymore. Emperor Chongzhen must win every battle, and every victory must be a great victory. His past record has already made them feel afraid. This was not only possessed by Dorgon, but also by ordinary Jianlu.
Even Duduo, who had never fought against Emperor Chongzhen or experienced the power of Emperor Chongzhen, at this time, listening to the fanatical cheers from the distance and thinking of Dorgon's countless instructions, he had a solemn look on his face. The first thing he did was to tell his men to immediately report to Shengjing: tell the regent that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty had appeared at Yaozhou Station with his imperial army!
At this time, in Yaozhou Station, Emperor Chongzhen was riding a war horse and standing in front of the trench dug by Jianlu. He had to sigh in his heart. If the weapons did not have an absolute generation difference and were not crushing, then the victory of the war would be impossible. Negative, it mainly depends on the person.
The use of trenches against firearms should have never appeared in this era. However, now it appears in front of you. The Ming Dynasty's artillery has really reduced the lethality to the minimum for attacks through trenches. But fortunately, the military strength of the Ming Dynasty, including the three major battalions under the Dongjiang Army plus Yumajian and the reorganized Beijing Camp, is now actually stronger than Jianlu. So from now on, the Ming Dynasty will be the main attacker, and Jianlu will be the main defender. As for siege, artillery is still very useful! In other words, it is actually the best place for artillery, not for defense!
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the Jianlu camp in the distance and sneered in his heart: "If I didn't want to lose too much, I would kill you slowly! I'm here to control you in this battle. It’s a cat or a dog, I want you to taste it, I have a golden finger!”
