There is a space for passenger planes in the late Ming Dynasty

South of Datong City, Xi'an Fort.

The residence of the Dorgon tribe of Manchuria.

"Commander, Hong Chengchou and his men's attack on Datong City was not going well. It took them more than ten days to break through the outer city. They fought street fighting in the city for four or five days before they captured the government office. I heard that there were heavy casualties. We really don't need to help them. "For a moment?" Kong Youde, the commander of the Manchu traitor Tianyou soldiers and the obedient king, asked.

"Sieging cities is not our strong point as a warrior of the Qing Dynasty. Let Hong Chengchou and the others gnaw on the hard core of Datong City. We must look for opportunities to annihilate the Zheng Ming Army Yang Heng's troops in field battles and avenge Prince Duduo of Yu!"

Ever since he received the news that his younger brother Duduo, a compatriot from the same mother, was killed by Yang Heng's tribe, Dorgon led nearly 40,000 Qing troops to seek revenge from Yang Heng's tribe.

However, after the Second Henan Combat Division of Yang Heng and Deng Hao merged, their number of troops was not much less than that of the Tatars, and they had been defending the city. Dorgon had not yet found a suitable opportunity.

He is now waiting for Datong City to be unable to hold on and when Yang Heng sends reinforcements, he will look for and annihilate the Zhenming Army led by Yang Heng in the wild.

At this time, the Tatars came in and reported: "Commander, we have detected a Zhenming army setting off from Hunyuan City, preparing to cross the Sanggan River and go north along Shawo Castle. They should want to reinforce Datong City. ”

"How many men and horses do they have?"

"There were about 10,000 people. They did not display any flags and marched very covertly. They probably wanted to avoid our detection."

"Commander, among the more than 10,000 people who set out from Hunyuan City, the Zhenming Army will definitely not let a first-level brigade general lead the army. It is estimated that it will be either Yang Heng or Deng Hao." Another Manchu traitor leader, Zhishun Wang Shang Kexi analyzed.

After listening to this, Dorgon leaned over and looked at the simple map spread out on the table. The Tatar hand-drawn map was indeed simple enough and could only give a rough look at the direction.

"How far is it from Sand Snail Castle to our army camp?" Dorgon asked.

"About fifty or sixty miles."

"Are there any signs of other ambushes around this Zhenming Army?" Dorgon continued to ask. He was still more cautious in leading the troops.

"No other Zhenming Army has been found within dozens of miles around." Xiao Tan replied.

"Commander, the Zhenming Army around Datong only has 30,000 people in total. They are afraid that we will outflank their retreat, so they certainly don't dare to send their entire army to support Datong.

More than 10,000 people were sent to support, probably to prepare for the breakout of the defenders in Datong City.

Judging from the investigation situation, there are no other Zhenming troops for dozens of miles around. Even if they discover the attack of our Qing warriors and send people to ask for help, it will take at least one day to go back and forth. If we attack with all our strength, one day will be enough to eliminate them in the field. Zhenming Army of about 10,000 people. "King Zhishun Shang Kexi has always been known for his resourcefulness," he said helpfully.

After hearing this, Dorgon nodded and said: "What King Zhishun said makes sense. Order the entire army to attack and annihilate the Zhenming Army near Shawo Castle."

"In this battle, I personally led the Eight Banners cavalry in the assault. King Kong Youde of Gongshun led the Tianyou soldiers to snipe the reinforcements of the Zhenming Army in the south. King Zhishun Shang Kexi led the Tianyou soldiers to outflank the Zhenming Army from the north. The battle must be resolved within one day."

"Cha!" said the two traitors.

Ten miles south of Shawo Castle.

"Commander, the Tatars have been fooled. Dorgon has personally led the Eight Banners soldiers out of the Xi'anbao camp. They are still thirty miles away from us." The sentry horse came to report.

"Okay, report to the prince immediately. At the same time, notify Commander Deng Hao and ask him to lead the Second Henan Combat Division to move closer to us from the east." Yang Heng explained.

During the Battle of Weizhou, Yang Heng failed to intercept Dorgon's troops, resulting in the massacre of Hunyuan Prefecture. He has always blamed himself. This time he finally found an opportunity and must avenge his shame.

A distance of thirty or forty miles.

For the cavalry, it takes less than an hour.

However, considering the needs of combat, the cavalry cannot run at high speed all the time, and it is definitely necessary to save horsepower.

Dorgon organized a rest when he led his troops to reach Shawo, which was still ten miles away.

After the men and horses were slightly replenished, they ordered a rapid attack on the Zhenming Army troops ahead.

The attack of the Manchu Tatar cavalry began.

Yang Heng immediately ordered the First Mobile Division to form a formation and deploy the army carriages in the direction facing the Tatar army, revealing the muzzles of the field artillery.

Five miles, four miles, three miles.

The ferocious expressions of the Tatar cavalry are clearly visible.

"fire!"

Yang Heng ordered.

More than thirty field artillery pieces accompanying the First Mobile Division spurted out fury and fired hot shells.

Some of the Tatar cavalrymen who were hit by cannonballs had their arms and legs broken, some had their heads knocked off, and some were even directly broken at the waist.

For a moment, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and screams continued.

But the Tatar cavalry are also battle-hardened and have rich experience.

Encountering the artillery fire from the Zhenming Army, after a brief panic, they immediately evacuated the assault formation and continued the attack.

After approaching two miles, the muskets of the 1st Mobile Division began to fire volleys.

The Tatar cavalry kept falling off their horses.

Dorgon, who was lagging behind a little, couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart when he saw it. The Eight Banners soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were very elite, but their number was limited and they couldn't withstand the consumption.

After two or three rounds of volleys of fire and artillery fire, the Tatar army finally came into contact with the Zhenming Army. They were ready to brutally massacre these Han troops to vent their anger.

However, just after the battle, they discovered that the Zhenming Army was not the cavalry they had encountered before. They collapsed upon contact.

They have bright armor and strong protection. They can still fight alive after being slashed several times.

The key is that the Zhenming Army's fighting will is extremely versatile. Not only do they dare to fight against the Tatars, they do not flinch even if they are injured, and they even pull a Tatar on their back before dying.

However, the Tatars have a natural advantage in hand-to-hand combat, and the really smelly Tatars have a greater physical advantage, so they generally have the upper hand. Dorgon saw that the two armies were completely fighting each other, and ordered his bodyguard to send an order to Shang Kexi to immediately outflank him from the north.

He was prepared to deal a fatal blow to these Zhenming troops as soon as possible. If the fight continued like this, his Eight Banners soldiers would suffer too many casualties.

I don’t know how this Lin Feng trained his troops, but he could basically compete with his Eight Banners warriors in a field battle.

Thinking about dealing with other Ming armies, the Qing army of 10,000 and 8 banners could chase and kill 100,000 Ming armies all over the land.

However, Dorgon did not wait for Shang Kexi's northern flank attack.

Just as Shang Kexi was about to dispatch his Tianyou Army, Deng Hao led 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Second Henan Combat Division to surround him.

His Heavenly Blessing Army, despite its impressive name, is much worse in combat effectiveness than the True Tartars, especially in face-to-face combat in the field.

After all, those who become traitors lack the confidence in their hearts and the courage to fight to the end.

In just two-quarters of an hour, the fortunate Tianzhu army could no longer resist and began to flee south.

Dorgon waited for a while, but before he saw the flanking attack from Shang Kexi's army, he felt something bad in his heart.

"Commander, it's not good. The fortunate Tianzhu Army was defeated by the Zhenming Army. The defeated army is about to arrive." A sentry horse reported loudly.

"What, there is a Zhenming Army in the north?" Dorgon was shocked. He felt that he had fallen into a trap set by the Zhenming Army and that they had an ambush.

After being stunned for a moment, Dorgon immediately regained his composure, and he immediately ordered: "Immediately notify Kong Youde to move closer to us, and the entire army will attack north to join Hong Chengchou and the others."

About seven or eight miles south of Shawo Castle, Kong Youde led his Tianyou Army in formation and prepared to intercept the Zhenming Army reinforcements coming from the direction of Hunyuan City.

"Your Majesty, Prince Rui has issued an urgent order for us to go north to join them immediately and the entire army will head to Datong City." An accompanying staff member came over to deliver the order.

"Didn't the commander tell you the reason?"

"It seems that an ambush of the Zhenming Army has appeared in the north, and King Chishun's Tianshu Army has been defeated." The staff returned.

"Reorganize the army and go north immediately!" Kong Youde ordered.

He has a lot of God-blessed weapons and weapons, and he has a lot to pack for the march.

Just started gathering firearms.

The 5,000-strong personal guard division led by Lin Feng personally arrived and started charging into the formation without a moment's pause.

Kong Youde was a little panicked at first when he saw the Youzhenming army attacking. When he saw that there were only 5,000 people coming from the other side, he immediately became more courageous.

He personally led the cavalry to meet them.

"Bang bang bang!"

The Guards Division is equipped with breech-loading rifles, and running on horseback does not affect shooting.

After a volley of fire, Kong Youde's cavalry seemed to have been hit with a sledgehammer, and hundreds of them fell.

Five hundred meters, four hundred meters, three hundred meters...

As the distance between the two sides continued to get closer, the Guards Division fired two more rounds of volleys, which made the German cavalry cry and howl, and the formation became very loose.

The two armies finally engaged in battle.

Lin Feng personally wielded his special large horizontal sword, and Li Dingguo led his personal guards to guard him closely. Like the sharp tip of a javelin, it penetrated Kong Youde's army.

The officers and soldiers of the Guards Division wore the latest plate armor produced by Zhenming Ordnance Factory, which is both lightweight and strong in protection. They held steel knives forged with steam engine hammers. They were divided into a combat team of five people. Three people covered the attack, and two people fired dangerous shots with rifles. Target, combat efficiency is extremely high.

After rushing into Kong Youde's Tianyou Army, the Guards Division was like chopping melons and vegetables, killing these traitorous troops and making them run away.

Many people squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands and chose to surrender.

Kong Youde was invincible at first glance, but if he escaped at this time, he would definitely be chased and killed by the Zhenming Army.

He could only bite the bullet and lead hundreds of the most elite servants to meet the spearhead of the Zhenming Army's assault, Lin Feng and his personal guards.

"clang!"

Lin Feng struck Kong Youde's spear with his sword, causing him to feel numb all over.

The servants on both sides of him hurriedly raised it together, and they were able to block Lin Feng's blow.

"Clap"

The guards' sharpshooters who came a little later immediately killed the two servants.

Kong Youde could only bite the bullet and fight again. After a few rounds, his hands became soft.

Lin Feng seized the opportunity and knocked away his spear with a knife, then kicked him off his horse.

Li Dingguo led several of his bodyguards up to the bee pupae, held them down and tied them up.

Seeing that Kong Youde was arrested, his servants rushed forward desperately.

Lin Feng led his bodyguards to continue killing. The sharpshooters at the rear continued to kill targets that posed a threat to Lin Feng, and soon all the servants were strangled.

The rest of the God's Blessed Army had already begun to collapse, running away towards the Tatar army to the north. Those who had no time to run knelt down and surrendered.

Anyway, for their traitor army, surrender is a basic operation and there is nothing shameful about it.
