The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 628 Never Raise the Flag
After Ding Yi repelled Yue Tuo's soldiers and horses, he finally calmed down a lot.

Yue Tuo, that idiot, took [-] elite riders and followed him like a worm for several days. Ding Yi was also very annoyed.

But he has few soldiers, horses and cavalry, and now he still focuses on defense, and it is impossible to rush up and fight with Yue Tuo.

If Yue Tuo wants to retreat, Ding Yi has nothing to do with him now.

After repelling Yuetuo, Ding Yi arranged for defense while arranging rest. It was too late at this time, so he could not march, and he had to prevent the Qing soldiers from attacking with artillery. Leave later.

In this battle, they beheaded more than 1000 Qing cavalry, and their own casualties were less than 200, all of which were wounded by arrows. Only a dozen were shot to death, and most of the rest were slightly injured. Big win.

At the same time that Ding Yi's soldiers and horses lived in the seventh-level town that night, Dorgon's 80 soldiers and horses surrounded Lu Xiangsheng, more than [-] miles away from Ding Yi.

In the early morning of the next day, the Qing soldiers fought with Lu Xiangsheng, and the cannons roared.

Because of the long distance, Ding Yi and the others did not hear the sound of the guns.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, the whole army was ready to set off and continue to go to Julu.

Because of bringing a large number of civilian husbands and people, the troop movement is still relatively slow.

It took most of a day to get close to Julu. At this time, the sentry in front came to report and found some collapsed and fled Ming troops.

The sentry riders caught a few, and after asking, they found out that not long ago, the Qing army defeated the Ming army and Lu Xiangsheng was killed, and the Ming army was almost wiped out.

For some reason, Ding Yi heaved a long sigh of relief when he heard Lu Xiangsheng's death.

He closed his eyes slightly, with mixed feelings in his heart.

From the standpoint of the Ming Dynasty and his personal preferences, he really wanted to save Lu Xiangsheng.

But from his own standpoint, it was difficult to choose.

The words of Zhang Jing and others are still in my ears. As he and Lu Chao said, there are many loyal ministers in Daming, and he can't use them. On the contrary, he should protect treacherous ministers like Luo Yangxing and Gao Qiqian.

"Master Ding, let's do our best." Shang Kexi whispered from the side at this time, but when he said this, his eyes were full of joy, as if he was more excited.

Shang Kexi is a smart person, he knows what Ding Yi wants, but he also knows who Lu Xiangsheng is.

To be honest, he wanted to remind Ding Yi a long time ago, why are you saving this loyal minister of Ming Dynasty?Looking back, he can lead soldiers to fight you believe it or not?

If you save a person like Wu Sangui, he may surrender to you, but if you save Lu Xiangsheng, it is impossible to gain his loyalty.

Ding Yi quickly adjusted his mood.

At this time, Ding Yi already knew the direction of the Qing soldiers. In this case, Dorgon had nearly [-] soldiers to the south, Yuetuo nearly [-] to the north, and [-] soldiers surrounded him on the Julu side. dangerous.

Fifty thousand soldiers and horses rushed together, and he might not be able to stop it.

"Find a high place and defend it first." Ding Yi immediately ordered to find a high place with water and defend it first.

To the east of Julu is the historically famous Zhangshui River, a very long river, hundreds of miles long, flowing through the present three provinces, and it is also the longest tributary of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River.

At present, Ding Yi's soldiers and horses are stationed on the west bank of Zhangshui River, east of Julu.

At the same time, send out sentry cavalry to investigate around.

Not long after, sentry cavalry came back one after another, saying that a large group of Qing soldiers had come.

Ding Yi didn't know if the Qing soldiers would attack. After thinking about it, he motioned to take down all the grain on the cart, so as to form an obstacle.

Because the Qing soldiers would either not attack, and once they decided to attack, there might be [-] troops to attack.

If defending the city, Ding Yi would not be afraid to attack with a hundred thousand people, but it would be very dangerous to fight in the field.

Ding Yi began to build fortifications here, and Dorgon, a Qing soldier, was also ten miles away from Ding Yi at this time.

Dorgon was in a good mood. Although he received the news of Yue Tuo's defeat yesterday, Lu Xiangsheng was completely wiped out in today's battle. Except for a few Ming soldiers who escaped, Lu Xiangsheng's [-] elite soldiers were almost lost.

A comparison of the two proves that he played better than Yuetuo.

But now there is a question before him, that is, should Ding Yi fight?

At this time, Yue Tuo's soldiers and horses were east of Julu, across the Zhang River, about ten miles away from Ding Yi.

The two sides are communicating whether to hit Ding Yi.

There is no doubt that Ding Yi is their greatest enemy of the Qing Dynasty.

But Ding Yi's soldiers and horses are too fierce.

Dorgon garrisoned ten miles away, and arranged for a large group of cavalry to drive away the sentry cavalry of the Ming army, and prevented the sentry cavalry of the Ming army from inquiring about the location of their army.

Because they now know that the sentry cavalry of the Ming army is powerful, especially the short guns, so the sentry cavalry of the Qing soldiers are all 30 people, or even a team of fifty cavalry.

The Ming army usually has a team of ten cavalry. After the two sides contacted a few times, the Ming army saw that they were too many, and they were unwilling to fight with them, and were expelled by them a lot.

There are few cavalry in Ding Yi's side, and it is impossible to send a team of fifty cavalry. He simply doesn't care about the Qing soldiers. Anyway, he knows the approximate location of the Qing soldiers and concentrates on repairing the fortifications.

Ding Yi has been carrying food for more than 20 days, plus the income from Yuetuo who robbed him a few days ago. Although he now has nearly 2 horses, it is not a problem to eat for two or three months.

He didn't believe that Dorgon could be here and surround him for three or four months.

And as long as Ding Yi wants to leave, the Qing soldiers will also be unable to stop him.

In addition, Dorgon went deep into the Ming Realm, and every battle was to be resolved quickly, and it was impossible to delay with Ding Yi.

Sure enough, Dorgon convened a full meeting that day, and the commanders of the Mongolian and Han armies discussed, and even Du Du from Yuetuo's camp also came to his camp.

"Now we have nearly [-] troops on both wings, and the Ding Yi Department of the Ming Army has surrounded Julu. Tell me, do you want to fight or not?" Dorgon said in a deep voice.

Everyone glanced at each other, Kong Youde thought, it's not surrounded, he just walked there, do you think everyone is Lu Xiangsheng?
In Kong Youde's view, as long as Ding Yi's troops wanted to leave, they couldn't stop them.

The best way to deal with Ding Yi is what Oboi used before. Arrange a large number of cannons in advance and lead him to the range of the artillery array to defeat Ding Yi.

But with Ding Yi's cunning, wretched and obscene, and having suffered from Oboi, it is even more difficult for you to lure him into the battle now.

After Dorgon finished speaking, no one hummed around, Du Du was anxious, he wanted to kill Ding Yi wholeheartedly.

Immediately he asked Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming sharply: "How many cannons did King Ershun bring? As long as he needs cannons, he can fight Ding Mouse."

Geng Zhongming hummed: "Twenty Hongyi cannons, and thirty other cannons."

"That's all?" Du Du stared.

Kong Youde smiled wryly: "In the first battle against Korea, our artillery was completely lost."

Everyone can't help but think of conquering North Korea.

That was another disastrous defeat, and it was a disastrous defeat unprecedented in the history of the Qing Dynasty. This kind of thing would never have happened when the old slave was here. Before the Ming army came, Huang Taiji wanted to retreat. It was too shameful. The artillery was discarded.

Hauge frowned at this time: "Du Du fought against the Ming army. The Ming army has hundreds of cannons. If we have fewer cannons, it will be very difficult to fight. Ding Mouse is famous for being able to defend."

"Our 1 soldiers and horses rushed together. If we don't count casualties, we will definitely be able to destroy this Ming army, but this Ming army is only about [-]. We don't know if Ding Shuo is there. If we destroy them, I am afraid that we will lose more than half of them, so the gains outweigh the losses.”

What Hauge said was the voice of everyone, and most people didn't want to fight.

To be honest, if their [-] soldiers and horses rushed forward ignoring casualties, even if they didn't use horses, all the infantry would be able to destroy this Ming army, but at least half of them would be killed or injured.

Half of the Manchu Qing army is here, and if you fight a Ming army of 1 people, one third will die.

The point is that they don't know if Ding Yi is in the formation.

Ding Shuo is a shameless person who never raises the flag in war, and has no martial ethics at all.

All the famous generals in history fought, who didn't raise the flag?

No, it should be said, no matter if he is a famous general or not, who doesn't raise the flag on the battlefield?The military flag is the morale of an army, and the general of the Ming army came out without a flag.

He is very good at Ding Mouse, not only does he not carry a flag, but his subordinates never set up a flag. As a result, when everyone encounters Ding Yi's troops, they don't know who is leading the army.

The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty knew all the generals of the various divisions of the Ming army clearly, what their names were and what their characteristics were.

But Ding Yi's subordinates, who are the generals, what their names are, and how old they are, they don't know.

The only information I got was also from Ming Ting, and I don't know if it's accurate.

One of Ding Yi's subordinates that the Qing soldiers knew best was Wang Weizhong. He beat them up the last time he entered the customs and was promoted to Qingzhou General Soldier.

Sure enough, someone mentioned Wang Weizhong at this time: "Last time in Shanxi, the Ding Yi Department of the Ming Army who defeated Wu Bai and them was led by Wang Weizhong, and Ding Yi himself was not there. What if today we sacrifice half of our brothers and wipe out this Ming army?" , there is no Ding Yi in it, wouldn't it be a big loss?"

Ding Yi heard that there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses now. If we sacrifice half of them, it doesn't make any sense if we can't kill Ding Yi?

This is the advantage of Ding Yi not raising the flag. The Qing soldiers did not know whether Ding Yi was in the camp or not.

If Dorgon, Hao Ge, and Yue Tuo knew that Ding Yi was in the camp, they would definitely attack with all their strength regardless of casualties.

With the impact force of their [-] fine cavalry, as long as they can charge with all their strength, Ding Yi's [-] soldiers and horses will not be able to stop them.

Of course, Ding Yi also has cavalry and has a chance to escape, but he will definitely be defeated.

When Dorgon heard this, he said in a good voice: "When we came out, the emperor repeatedly told us to rob more people, money and food. If we encounter a fortified city, we can go around and not attack."

"Ding Yi's soldiers and horses are more troublesome than Jiancheng. There is really no need to touch them."

Only Du Du wanted to fight at the scene. After Dorgon spoke, they quickly reached a consensus that they would not fight Ding Yi's soldiers and horses, and go to the Ming army who are ready to fight.

Du Du was not reconciled, and said at this time: "Go to Jinan and grab a good fortune. What we robbed before was snatched by Ding Yi. If you don't fight Dacheng, you won't be able to recover."

All the soldiers nodded in agreement.

They had considered attacking Jinan a long time ago. In the early stage, they mobilized the Ming army by attacking Gyeonggi, and then raided Shandong after Shandong was empty. This is what they did in the original history.

"Let's go, break through the high dive first, and then attack Shandong, and watch Ding Yi's soldiers and horses eat our ass." Dorgon laughed loudly, and with a wave of his hand, the whole army went to the high dive, and they dared not beat Ding Yi The Ministry, fighting other Ming troops, is still going all out.

But in order to prevent Ding Yi's soldiers from supporting Gao Qiqian, Dorgon ordered Yuetuo to divide up five thousand troops to contain Ding Yi.

Yue Tuo's health is not very good now, just like in history, he has smallpox.

After hearing the words, he asked Du Du to lead his troops to follow Dorgon, and he took three thousand fine cavalry to stay.

Dorgon originally gave him five thousand soldiers and horses, but he didn't expect that he only wanted three thousand. Suddenly he felt something, Dorgon didn't say anything, and lost his way and led his troops east.

The Qing soldiers left as soon as they said they would, and tens of thousands of fine cavalry swept away like the wind, and soon disappeared from Ding Yi's sight.

Ding Yi's sentinel immediately discovered that most of the Qing soldiers had left, and only Yue Tuo was cruising within five miles with [-] elite cavalry, obviously monitoring and restraining Ding Yi's troops.

Ding Yi guessed at this time that the Qing soldiers were going to fight other Ming troops nearby.

According to Lu Xiangsheng's defeated soldiers, there are still soldiers and horses flying high nearby.

The generals asked if they wanted to save him?Ding Yi smiled, save me, I wish I could get up and dive to wipe out the whole army.

Of course, Ding Yi doesn't want this trash Gao Qiqian to die now, it's not in his interest.

But he knew that Gao Qiqian was also famous for being able to run in history, and this time the Ken family would not die.

Sure enough, when the Qing soldiers attacked Lu Xiangsheng, Gao Qiqian led more than 4 Guan Ning troops to station in Linqing without moving. The army scrambled to be the first to intimidate, for fear of falling behind and being overtaken by the Qing soldiers.

But this guy was in a panic and lost his way. He happened to bump into the Qing soldiers who were coming.

After breaking through Gao Qiqian's soldiers and horses, in order to confuse the Ming army, Dorgon first entered the southern part of Hebei, broke through Guangping, Shunde, Daming and other places, and then turned to Shandong.

The Ming army thought that the Qing soldiers would attack Shandong from Dezhou. Except for Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, who led troops to defend Dezhou, he also called in various generals to help. Stagnated, and did not arrive at the scheduled location after the fight.

Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, had no choice but to urgently recruit Xu Fuzuo, the commander-in-chief of Denglai, and Wang Weizhong, the commander-in-chief of Qingzhou.

These two troops were originally guarding Jinan. After hearing the order, the two had no choice but to take their troops to Dezhou.

But the two walked for about five days. The Qing soldiers made a sharp turn, bypassed Dezhou, and came to the city of Jinan in early January of the 12th year of Chongzhen (1639).

At this time, in Jinan City, there were only soldiers and horses in the early [-]s stationed, which was exactly the same as in the original history.

When the Qing soldiers crossed Hebei, Ding Yi really followed behind the Qing soldiers' fart drums, and was also in the south of Hebei.

Originally, he wanted to return to the army and go to Shandong, but he was also afraid that the Qing soldiers would attack Shandong. After all, he had his territory there. What if Dorgon killed his hometown, Dengzhou, regardless of the consequences.

But suddenly countless victims escaped from all directions, and only then did they know that the Qing soldiers were raging in southern Hebei, plundering people and wealth everywhere, Guangping, Shunde, Daming, etc. were destroyed one after another.

In order to contain Ding Yi, Yue Tuo wandered around with his cavalry, and when he saw some civilians from the Ming army who had escaped, he chased after them and chopped them down, then raised their heads to demonstrate to the Ming army, retaliation for what the Ming army did before. .

Ding Yi was furious. While sending soldiers and horses to gather and protect the surrounding people, he was thinking about how to kill this Yuetuo dog.

Yue Tuo is all cavalry, and most of the remaining ones are Mongolian elite cavalry, who come and go like the wind, and have superb shooting skills. If you want to kill them, it is best to surround them like in North Korea.
