In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 280 Taking advantage of victory to attack the camp
"Your Majesty, we have won."

"The Chinese army is victorious!"

"Long live the king!"

As Dorgon led the cavalry away, the movement in the east gradually stopped, and the cheers of the Chinese army swept across the entire battlefield like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.

Although he had long known that he would never lose as long as he didn't make mistakes, Lin Rui's heart was still trembling with excitement at this moment.

It wasn't until the excitement calmed down that he ordered: "Order all the infantry battalions to rest in place for a quarter of an hour, then press forward to the Ming camp, order the firearms battalion to follow up quickly in a marching posture, and let the logistics battalion organize 1 Thousands of people are here to treat the wounded, so there is no need to clean the battlefield yet!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, the three firearms battalions pushed the cannons and carried the blunderbuss, and quickly moved forward to kill. After resting for a quarter of an hour, they briefly bandaged the injured brother, and the eighteen infantry battalions moved forward again, three The trapped camp also followed closely behind.

Half an hour later, the Chinese army arrived outside the Ming army's camp. Lin Rui and Hai Lanzhu also got off the command platform, preparing to ride over to command the next attack on the camp.

At this time, Na Muzhong also came back with thousands of riders in a very embarrassed manner.

"Rui Lang, have we won the battle?" Na Muzhong jumped off the horse and asked nervously.

"We won the battle. The Ming army has fled back to the camp, and the Qing army has also returned to the camp. Thank you for your hard work, my beloved concubine. Are you injured anywhere?"

Lin Rui didn't care about the stains all over her body. He nodded, hugged her and asked with concern.

Na Muzhong was able to come back safely, which finally made him feel relieved.

"Great, I'm fine!"

Namuzhong immediately pushed him away, gritted her teeth and said, and then looked at Lin Rui with some guilt: "Rui Lang, I'm so useless, we were defeated by the Jurchens..." At this point, her eyes also flickered. red.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter. Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs. It's just a defeat for a while. It's not a big deal. Then we can win again."

Lin Rui quickly comforted him by saying that he had never expected Namuzhong and the others to be able to defeat the Jurchen cavalry, but he was very satisfied with being able to fight against the Jurchen cavalry for so long.

"Then what should we do next?" Namuzhong felt warm in her heart when she saw that Lin Rui didn't blame him, and she cheered up again and asked.

"How many of you are left?"

"Well, there should be five or six thousand around me. The others have all fled. I don't know exactly how many are left. I guess I won't be able to count them until everyone comes back in the evening."

Namuzhong glanced at the cavalry behind him and explained.

There is not much embarrassment or shame. After all, for the Mongolian cavalry, this kind of thing of running away after being defeated is really normal and not shameful at all.

Lin Rui was also not surprised by this, and he pondered for a while and said: "Let's take the people back to the camp to change horses, and then try to gather as many cavalry as possible to monitor the movements of the Qing army's camp. By the way, there is also Wu Sangui The Guan Ning cavalry, that guy ran towards the west, we need to pay attention to it."

"Rui Lang, are you planning to take advantage of the victory and immediately attack the Ming army's camp?" Namu Zhong reacted immediately when she saw Lin Rui's arrangement.

"Well, although there are tens of thousands of people left in the Ming army at this time, their morale has hit rock bottom and their weapons have been lost. It's a good time to take it all in one go."

"But it's getting late. I'm afraid it's too late, right?"

Na Muzhong looked at the sky. It would be dark in more than an hour. No matter how hard he tried, it would be difficult to break through the camp before dark.
"I can't control that much anymore. The worst I can do is stay up late and fight at night. We must not give the Ming army any chance to breathe now!"

Lin Rui waved his hand and gritted his teeth. He also knew that it would be too hasty to attack the camp now.

But after one night, with Lu Xiangsheng's ability, the morale of the Ming army will definitely recover. If another batch of weapons is delivered overnight, it will take a lot of effort. "Okay then, I'm going to change the horses and gather the cavalry." Namuzhong said no more, got on the horse again, and whipped away with the remaining defeated soldiers.

Lin Rui and Hai Lanzhu didn't waste any time. They also got on their horses and galloped towards the north. Wherever they passed, there were discarded weapons, corpses and wounded people.

At this moment, outside the main camp of the Ming army, the three trapped camps were making preparations for the war. The longbowmen of each battalion had also been mobilized, just waiting for the firearms battalion to arrive.

Facing the Chinese army who came to attack, even though Lu Xiangsheng tried his best to maintain order, the whole camp was still in chaos. Everyone looked in shock. The soldiers did not know the generals, and the generals did not know the soldiers. What's more terrible is that even though they escaped back, There were 7 people, but most of them came back empty-handed.

Especially the spears, spears and shields were almost completely lost.

"Superintendent, looking at the posture of the Chinese army, I am afraid that it will not be long before they launch a direct attack. With more than 2 troops in our army, we cannot resist it no matter what! Why don't we temporarily withdraw to How about staying away from the Qing army’s camp?”

Looking at the messy scene, Gao Jie was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, so he gritted his teeth and suggested.

"Shut up nonsense!"

Lu Xiangsheng shouted loudly, then turned to a general beside him and asked, "Is General Wu back?"

"Back to the Superintendent, Commander Wu hasn't come back yet, Commander Cao and Deputy Commander Zhou haven't come back either, I'm afraid..."

The general replied with a sad look on his face.

Lu Xiangsheng also sighed. Cao Bianjiao and Zhou Yuji didn't come back. They must have died in the battle. Wu Sangui must have left with the cavalry. They haven't come back yet. I'm afraid they won't come back today.

"Gao Jie, your unit is not damaged at the moment. You must hold on until dark to buy time for each unit to reorganize and appease the soldiers."

"It's the supervisor!"

Even if Gao Jie didn't want to, he had to grit his teeth and answer, then turned and left.

"Supervisor, why don't we ask the Qing army for help?"

"No, if Dorgon is willing to come to help, he will come naturally."

Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand.

Everyone couldn't be persuaded any more and went down one after another to reorganize the troops.

But each battalion could only just distinguish the men and horses of each battalion. Before they even had time to count the number of people, the roar of cannons sounded outside the camp gate.

This made the soldiers who had just calmed down become nervous again, and the entire camp became panicked and restless again.

In the Qing army camp next door, Dorgon was also gathering cavalry and counting the number of people. When he heard the rumble of cannons, his heart sank.

"Your Majesty, the Chinese army doesn't even give the Ming army a breath of air. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to hold the camp by themselves!"

"Yue Tuo, you immediately take the [-] Niu Lu who have been sorted out and the [-] Han soldiers to support from the north. Remember not to fight against the Chinese cavalry again."

Although Dorgon hated the Ming army to death, he still had to grit his teeth and go to the rescue, because once the Ming army camp was breached, he could only run away with his cavalry.

"Yes, Uncle Fourteen." Although he was exhausted, Yue Tuo had to get up and replied, leaving the tent.
