  Chapter 455 453 [Among the army, take the leader directly]

   "Shizheng, let me take the main attack this time, so I have to let out a bad breath!" Li Fuguo walked quickly in front of Hu Dinggui, kneeling on one knee in violation of the regulations, requesting to play.

  Although the military system of the Datong Army, the official documents all write division commander, deputy division commander, captain, and deputy captain, but the soldiers who have read the book are still habitually called: division commander, division deputy, team leader, and team deputy.

  Including the director and deputy director of the civil servants, they are also called: the director of the department and the deputy of the department.

   More than 80% of the hundreds of soldiers killed by the city defenders this time belonged to Li Fuguo's regiment.

  Hu Dinggui thought: "Your regiment suffered too many casualties, let's attack with Lao Jiang. Also, if you stand up and speak, you will agree if you don't kneel."

   "Yes!" Li Fuguo stood up immediately.

  Li Fuguo is Li Banghua's grandnephew, and the family relationship has been broken. But who made Li Banghua occupy a high position, and relatives who couldn't get along with him also came to build relationships with him one after another.

  The power of the Li family in the military and political system is no different from that of the Fei family, so there is no queen to blow the pillow.

  The defenders in the city mobilized their soldiers and horses, and rushed towards Li Yangxing's broken army.

  As for the reinforcements by the sea, they will take boats again and transport troops to block the back route of the main force of the Eight Banners. However, Li Dingguo and Wang Tingchen were still separated to lead the cavalry to catch up with the main force of the Eight Banners.

   But you have to make a detour, the passage to the north is relatively narrow, and Li Yangxing blocked the way.

  Li Dingguo and Wang Tingchen led cavalry from the west of the city through the earth wall and ditch, galloped along the north city wall toward the northeast, and then passed through the earth wall and ditch to the mountain area in the north. Bypassing the Manchu Qing camp where Li Yangxing was stationed, he led his horse up the hillside and then went down, and then galloped all the way to catch up with the main force of the Manchu Qing.

   On the side of the Manchu Qing camp, Li Fuguo and Jiang Lin attacked from the front, while the rest of the ministries, farmers and soldiers surrounded them from both sides.

  The camps here are too big. After the main forces of the Manchu and Qing forces withdrew, many places became empty camps, but the various fortifications are still disgusting, and many places need to be built with planks to pass.

  Li Yangxing belongs to the fight of trapped beasts, leading three thousand Wuzhenchaoha and a large number of civilians, and shrank in the core camp left by Dorgon.

  The battle has not yet begun, and these soldiers at the bottom of the Han army banner have made up their minds to take the opportunity to surrender.

   Li Yangxing's wife and children are taken care of by Dorgon, but their wives and children have no one to take care of them. Maybe the orphans and widows will be taken over by others. That being the case, why would you risk your life for Man Qing to end it?

Li Yangxing said to the soldiers under his command: "For the Ming Dynasty, we are all defectors and traitors. The civil and military forces of the Nanman Emperor were all defected by the Ming court. Even if we surrendered, the Nanmanzi would kill us and beat us all. Get up and work hard!"

  The bannermen of the Han army were silent when they heard the words, and while feeling desperate, they also resented Dorgon for letting them die.

  They are all unbelieving soldiers. They don't know why they fight.

   Li Yangxing's army was annihilated by Li Dingguo in history!

   "Boom boom boom!"

  The Datong Army began shelling.

   "Run!"

  The first ones to collapse were the civilians. A total of 20,000 civilian troops collapsed at the moment of shelling.

   Immediately afterwards, the Eight Banners of the Han Army in the Wuzhenchao Ha Camp also fled.

  Dorgon had already guessed that this was the case, so he left 20,000 people behind. Either let them fight a blocking battle, or let them flee in all directions. The Datong Army has to spend time and troops to arrest them, so that it can create opportunities for the main force of the Manchu Qing to retreat.

  The anticipated tough battle suddenly turned into a pursuit battle.

   Li Yangxing took more than a hundred soldiers and remained in the core camp and did not escape, while the rest collapsed on the battlefield.

  Dorgon's strategy worked, at least the main force of Hu Dinggui's infantry, it is impossible to pursue it within a day or two. Not only to capture the prisoners, but also to identify, place and guard the prisoners. Only Wu Huapu led the dragoons to the north.

  When Li Fuguo and Jiang Lin led troops to attack the front of the formation, more than a hundred people around Li Yangxing put down their weapons and chose to surrender in the face of a Datong army twenty times their own.

   There were even a few of Li Yangxing's personal soldiers, who tied Li Yangxing's neck with knives, tied them up and forced them out of the camp to surrender.

  Walking halfway, Li Yangxing pleaded with the soldiers: "You kill me quickly, take my head and surrender, don't let me suffer the crime of living again. For the sake of old love, I beg you to give me a knife."

  The guards turned a deaf ear to it, and the general surrendered after the detainment was broken, and maybe he could make meritorious deeds in exchange for his own life.

   When Li Fuguo saw Li Yangxing, he cross-examined him, and when he learned of his identity, he immediately sneered: "A good dog, you deserve the surname Li?"

Li Yangxing knew that he would die, and retorted: "What if you don't vote for the Qing Dynasty? The civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty oppressed and framed them. If they hadn't defected to the enemy, they would have been framed and killed by the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty. Right and wrong, how can we tell clearly?" ? Don't talk too much, if you are a hero, give it a good time!"

  Hearing this remark, Li Fuguo stopped being sarcastic.

  The officers and soldiers of the Datong Army who were born in mud legs all regarded the Han army flag and the coat as traitors. But Li Fuguo is a scholar, and he heard from elders who are officials in the family that it is really hard to explain the chaotic party struggle.

  Ten years ago, Li Yangxing was definitely a victim. If he did not vote for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he would definitely be killed by the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty, and he would be framed for various crimes after his death!

  Li Fuguo waved his hand and said, "Take me back for trial."

   Li Yangxing, who was dragged away by the soldiers, twisted his neck and shouted: "Give me a good time, give me a good time!"

  Wu Huapu grabbed the reins with one arm and led the dragoons forward at full speed. In the middle of the afternoon, they encountered the Datong cavalry led by Li Dingguo and Wang Tingchen.

  The three joined forces, about seven thousand cavalry.

   "What's the situation?" Wu Huapu asked.

  Li Dingguo pointed to the front: "There are puppet Qing cavalry intercepting. There has been a fight, and each of them has killed or injured hundreds of people."

  Wang Tingchen said: "According to the confession of the captured enemy cavalry, the one who led the cavalry to stop us was Babutai, the ninth son of Tatar chieftain Nurhaci. Some of his troops were Manchurian cavalry, and the rest were mostly Inner and Inner Mongolian cavalry."

  Inner and Outer Mongolian Cavalry, specifically referring to the Mongolian Eight Banners (inner) and the Outer Fan Mongolian Banner (outer).

  The backbone of the Mongolian Eight Banners is the Ming frontier army that was attached to the Manchus, and those Mongolian troops that failed in the Mongolian civil war and fled to the Manchus. There are also a small number of Mongolian tribes who married with the Manchus, as well as Mongolian slaves (prisoners of war captured from the grassland) who made meritorious service in battle. These people, the whole family settled in Liaodong, and they were compiled as cattle records like the Manchus.

  As for the Outer Fan Mongolia, it was a Mongolian tribe that voluntarily joined or was conquered by the Manchu Qing. They have autonomy, but they have to pay tribute on time, and they have to send soldiers to help the Manchus fight in wars.

As a native of Liaodong, Wu Huapu was very aware of the situation inside, and said: "Outer Fan Mongolia is not of one mind with the Puppet Qing Dynasty. Even if they marry the Tatar Chieftain, they are unwilling to fight with us. There are too many young and strong casualties, and their tribes have may be annexed."

  Wang Tingchen also served as a frontier general, nodded and said: "That's right, some Mongolian cavalry were really slick during the war just now."

  Li Dingguo suggested: "It's better to concentrate all your strength and focus on the Manchurian cavalry."

   "That's the way it should be done!" Wang Tingchen laughed.

  The Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry have similar equipment, but the Mongolian Cavalry of the Outer Domain obviously wear different clothes.

  The cavalry was entangled before, and it has been tested, and the Outer Mongolia is indeed paddling.

   Immediately, the three adjusted their tactics.

  Wang Tingchen and Wu Huapu's dragoons attacked from the two wings and fired guns. Li Dingguo led the Xiao cavalry to charge directly, and they all attacked the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Eight Banners of Mongolia.

  Based on such a style of play, the Mongolian cavalry from the Outer Domain chose to continue paddling.

They didn't try their best to rescue the friendly army, they just rode and shot nearby symbolically. It doesn't matter how many Datong cavalry they can shoot, as long as they prove that they didn't escape from the battle. , or their tribe will be avenged.

   "Blow the trumpet, order the flag order, and order the outer Mongolian flag to outflank!" Babutai, who was under attack, shouted hastily.

  The Mongolian cavalry of the Outer Domain received the military order and immediately outflanked it.

  However, they were still shooting arrows outside, and they didn't look like they were fighting with Babutai at all.

   Babutai was furious: "Blow the trumpet and order the Mongolian flag of the outer domain to meet the enemy!"

  The Mongolian cavalry of Outer Domain immediately moved forward, but only moved forward more than ten steps, and then continued to shoot arrows on horseback.

  Babtai was about to die of anger. Even if he could hit the Datong cavalry at such a long distance, it would not be able to cause effective damage. What kind of fight is this against your mother?

  A year ago, the Mongolian soldiers of the foreign vassals would never dare to be so perfunctory.

  But the Mongols on the grasslands are not fools. The Manchus have been beaten back to Liaodong, and they might be wiped out one day. Why should they serve the Manchus? It is fundamental to preserve one's own strength, and maybe you can form a good relationship with the Datong Army.

  In the battlefield in front of us, the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the Mongolian Banners of Outer Fans add up to more than 12,000 cavalry.

  As a result, after the full-scale battle, the 7,000 Datong cavalry actually had a partial force advantage, and all the Mongolian cavalry from the Outer Domain were in a state of sleepwalking.

  Nurhachi's ninth son, Babutai, finally enjoyed the treatment of the Ming Dynasty's chief general: although the friendly forces were by his side, the result was that he didn't work hard!

   And Li Dingguo also found a rhythm, when Babutai used the old routine of the Manchu and Qing cavalry to disperse into countless strands to fight. He mixed the Xiao cavalry into the dragon cavalry, and when the enemy scattered soldiers shot arrows, he used the dragon cavalry to shoot at each other, and when the enemy gathered troops to charge, he used the Xiao cavalry to charge and kill.

   When Li Zicheng encountered the tactics of the Manchus, he chose to abandon defense and fight in close combat with the advantage of speed.

   Li Dingguo had dragoons in his hands, and he fought more smoothly, completely forming a tactical suppression of the Manchu and Qing cavalry.

  Of course, there are too few cavalry in Datong. Even if there are dragoons supporting them, the casualties are relatively heavy during the charge, and the casualty exchange ratio of 1:1.3 can probably be played.

   It's just that the Manchu and Qing cavalry suffered more deaths, while the Datong cavalry suffered more injuries. This is the victory of firecrackers over bows and arrows.

  After fighting for about a quarter of an hour, Li Dingguo seized the short opportunity of the enemy's gathering and dispersing, and summoned 500 brave cavalry to go straight to Babutai's main formation.

   "Archery!" Babutai shouted in panic.

  Five hundred Xiao cavalry, facing the arrows of the Manchu cavalry, continued to rush towards Babutai without risking their lives.

  Li Dingguo was hit by two arrows one after another. The arrows were stuck in the armor, shaking constantly as the horse rose and fell. He took the lead, holding the gun to overthrow the enemy in front of him, then drew his gun and swept across, and swept the other enemy off his horse.

  The lord general was so brave, the knights under his command were so energetic that they rushed into the enemy's formation without hesitation.

  When Li Dingguo stabbed the third enemy cavalry, an elite warrior on the opposite side caught Li Dingguo's cavalry the moment he fell off the horse. Li Dingguo quickly abandoned his spear, pulled out his waist knife, and continued to rush towards Babutai.

  Among Nurhachi's sons, there are also some cowards, such as Babutai in front of him.

  Babutai was dismissed from all military posts because of losing the city and land. Although he has been reinstated long ago, his title is only the third-class Fengguo general, and he is a scumbag among Nurhachi's sons.

  Seeing that Li Dingguo was getting closer and closer, and was almost surrounded by the Manchu cavalry, Babutai didn't think about leading his troops to surround and kill him, but his first reaction was to turn his horse's head and run away!

  Babutai's personal guards tried their best to stop him. Li Dingguo killed two people in a row again, blocked the third person's weapon, and rushed to Babutai's back.

   While running away, Babutai turned his head to look back, and was immediately frightened out of his wits.

   "Drive!"

   Babutai stabbed the horse's **** frantically, and the BMW under his crotch sprinted in pain, and quickly pulled out two positions with Li Dingguo.

  Li Dingguo's mount is a horse Wari castrated stallion, this kind of horse is only partially served in the Datong Xiao cavalry. But the commanders at all levels of the Xiao cavalry are all riding horses!

  Li Dingguo's boots are equipped with spurs, and with his feet clamped, he immediately accelerated and chased to Babutai's side.

brush!

   Slashed out with a knife, and the light of the knife crossed.

   Babutai hurriedly dodged with a low body, lying on the horse's back.

  The two were driving side by side, Babutai stood up and swung his knife, and Li Dingguo shot down Babutai's weapon with a single blow. Then he leaned out sideways, chose to abandon the knife and reached out, grabbed Babutai's cotton armor, and directly pulled Babutai off the horse's back.

   Then, he slammed it hard to the ground.

   Babutai's soldiers rushed to rescue him in the rear, but in a hurry to dodge, this guy was trampled to death by his own soldiers with horseshoes.

   "The enemy general is dead!"

  Li Dingguo, who had lost all his weapons, rode his horse with empty hands and shouted. He avoided the enemy cavalry's blade very dangerously, and had already killed Babutai's main formation.
