Ming Zuo

When the situation was treacherous, it was He Renlong who was unlucky first.

On the first day of December, He Renlong left Linzhang Mansion in accordance with Hong Chengchou's order.

As a result, just as he was about to enter the city, the Eight Banners army suddenly arrived.

Unprepared, He Renlong was overwhelmed by the Qing army and kept retreating.

He Renlong was also greedy for life and afraid of death. Seeing that the situation was not right, he turned his head and ran away regardless of the subordinates who were trapped in front of him.

His decisiveness also shook the Qing army.

Hauge never expected that someone would disregard the life and death of friendly troops.

When Hauge came back to his senses, He Renlong was already ten miles away.

He went to chase again, but because the cavalry was not around, he still couldn't catch up.

He Renlong fled to the south bank of the Zhanghe River, and ordered people to send a message to Hong Chengchou to warn him, and at the same time ordered people to dig all the surface of the Zhanghe River.

Hauge chased to the north bank, watching the river flowing, helpless.We can only send troops to scatter around, looking for places where we can cross the river.

Hong Chengchou originally put all his thoughts on the Daming Mansion.

Although he didn't have much contact with Zuo Liangyu and didn't know Zuo Liangyu's temperament, he was also afraid that Zuo Liangyu might make a mistake.

So while ordering He Renlong to go out, he also asked Zu Dabi to rush back to Long Town.

From here, you can meet Zuo Liangyu to the east and He Renlong to the north.

From the map, this arrangement can be described as foolproof.

But Hong Chengchou made the same mistake as all Ming army generals.

That is to distribute troops evenly, which seems to be comprehensive, but weak in all aspects.

The tactics of the Qing army have been inherited from Nurhachi from the bottom of their hearts.

What he is best at is to find the weak points of the enemy, and then concentrate all his strength to penetrate them in one go.

He Renlong became this unlucky ghost.

Not only did he not occupy Linzhang, but he retreated nearly a hundred miles, causing a huge hole in the entire defense line.

Hauge did not forgive others, and swept away the Shexian and Wu'an areas in northern Henan, and gained a lot.

When Hong Chengchou received the battle report, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

At this time, he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly ordered He Renlong to retreat to Zhangde Mansion, and hugged his main force to keep warm.

As for the place lost in the north, it is no longer within the scope of consideration.

"Master, it seems that we are all soldiers. The Qing army only dared to attack the Ming army, so how dare they attack us?"

In the division headquarters of the cavalry division, the staff members talked a lot, and they all felt that Wang Siyi was a little nervous.

Because of the battle report, the He Renlong Department of the Ming army encountered the main force of the Qing army and suffered heavy losses.The battlefield is also in the area of ​​Zhangde Mansion, which is far away from Xia Kingdom's territory.

Amid all the commotion, Wang Siyi was not affected at all.

She flipped through the battle report and read it several times, trying to find useful information between the lines.

Huang Tian paid off, and her caution paid off.

"Did Hauge catch up to He Renlong?"

Combat staff members do their duty.

"The Qing army pursued to the bank of the Zhang River, but because He Renlong cut through the ice and could not cross the river, the two sides gave up."

Wang Siyi slammed the battle report on the table with a "slap", and was furious.

"It's about a hundred miles from Linzhang to the bank of the Zhang River. He Renlong is all infantry, but the Qing army can't catch up. You don't even think about it. Why?"

In the division headquarters, there was an instant silence.

Everyone knows how the Qing army fought.

The North China Plain is not the mountains and hills of North Korea, but it is a good place for cavalry to show off their might.

The Qing army's cavalry and archery skills are naturally arrogant, and there is no reason not to send cavalry to attack the fleeing infantry.

But the fact is that the Qing army really failed to catch up with He Renlong, and he ran across the Zhang River.

Then the problem is coming.

Where did the cavalry of the Qing army go?
Without allowing everyone to think too much, Wang Siyi jumped up, grabbed the armor casually, and began to put it on her body.

"Send an order to Wang Yan, let him lead the second cavalry regiment to travel day and night without stopping, go to Kaizhou, Qingfeng, and surround Nanle, and must arrive in time tomorrow afternoon."

Everyone was startled.

Zuo Shi quickly dissuaded him.

"That's crossing the line."

Wang Siyi mentioned several place names, all of which belong to the Gyeonggi area of ​​Daming, and are in the south of Daming Mansion.

Xia Jun's action might stimulate Ming Chao's nerves.

Wang Siyi's face was stern and her attitude was firm.

"I just want to win, and I don't care about the rest. Let Zuo Menggeng go to fight Daming for the saliva lawsuit."

The big guy was sweating profusely, feeling extremely helpless.

In the Xia army, the only one who dared to call Zuo Menggeng by his name directly was Princess Wu.

But having said that, it is precisely because of Wang Siyi's special status that the cavalry division has less worries and moves quickly.

After giving the order, Wang Siyi has put on all the armor with the help of the guards and picked up the sidearm.

Seeing this, the others stopped arguing and delaying, packed up and stepped on their horses.

"Master, what about those artillery pieces?"

Cavalry divisions also have artillery, and there are a lot of them, which are of great help in combat.

But at this time Wang Siyi had to make a choice.

"It's too late, all the artillery is left behind. Order everyone to pack lightly, this time we will do our best."

Everyone knows how powerful the cavalry of the Qing army is.Without the help of artillery, no one is sure whether the cavalry division can win.

But in order to protect the peace of the people, there is no way to think too much.

Except for the Second Cavalry Regiment cruising outside, the remaining [-] cavalry divisions, even civilian staff, were on horses.

The special organization of the cavalry division determines that even civilians in this unit must have the ability to fight on horseback.

In the darkness of night, the cavalry division left the station and embarked on the road to the west.

Before the army, countless scouts had already been sent out.

At the same time, under the city of Daming Mansion, a ball of fire lit up in the dark wilderness.

The flame flickers back and forth, symbolizing some kind of signal.

After seeing it, the head of the city also responded with fire.

After about a stick of incense, there was the sound of rattling horseshoes in the darkness.

A long queue quietly walked into Daming Mansion, taking this important town of Ming Dynasty as their own.

However, they only left a very small number of troops in the city, and the rest passed through the city, moving forward in the dark.

The winter sky brightened very late, and it also became the best cover.

After a night of rapid march, this weird cavalry brigade was exhausted, but it did not arouse any vigilance.

When they came up along a dry river, a small village appeared in the distance.

On the flat and vast land, the village is peaceful and peaceful.

Unlike villages in other places, there are no defensive walls here, and you can walk in from any direction.

Seeing this scene, the chief general of the cavalry showed a cruel smile.

He raised his saber high and pointed at the village ahead.

"Rush in, leave no one behind, kill them all."

The entire cavalry brigade got the order and immediately became noisy.

Tens of thousands of people were divided into three parts.

The left and right were the fastest, but they did not enter the village, but outflanked towards the two wings.

Clearly, it was not intended for any one to escape.
