Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 466 Mutual fear, night attack?

After seeing the ambush of the Qing captives, Ainengqi immediately gathered the other two groups of cavalry.

Among them, 100 people dismounted and manipulated the fifty tiger crouching cannons they carried.Ai Nengqi and other thousand cavalry, with fifty tiger squatting cannons as the core, cruised on both sides, approaching the Qing cavalry at a leisurely pace.

Just now, the Qing captives fought with Li Yuanyin's 600 people, and nearly [-] people were killed or injured. Now there are only more than [-] people left.

Although the number still prevailed, Ke Daishan couldn't help frowning.

The combat effectiveness of these more than 1000 Ming army cavalry was much higher than he expected. If possible, he hoped that the Ming army could retreat.

It never occurred to me that the Ming army not only did not retreat, but had the intention of fighting them to the death when the number was clearly at a disadvantage.

Judging from the battle damage just now, Daishan is very clear that even if they can annihilate the more than 1000 Ming troops, the remaining 2000 or so Eight Banners Manchurians will probably suffer heavy casualties.

The number of soldiers and horses escorting them back this time was originally small. If they lost another two thousand horses, it was unknown whether they could pass through the grassland smoothly.

Thinking of this, Dai Shanyong ordered: "Withdraw!"

withdraw?
Many Eight Banners soldiers including Ma Zhan were taken aback when they heard the sound.

But Daishan had already turned his horse's head and ran towards the northwest.The rest of them came to their senses and had no choice but to ride their horses to keep up.

Daishan's order also confused Ai Nengqi and Li Yuanyin.

The cavalry led by Ainengqi was supposed to be within two hundred steps of the Qing captives, and at that time the tiger crouching cannons could fire shotguns to bombard the Qing captives. Unexpectedly, when the Qing captives clearly had the upper hand, they suddenly fled.

Ainengqi did not give the order to pursue.

The ambush by the Qing captives just now also made him afraid in his heart-fortunately, Li Yuanyin's team rushed out and was not eaten by the Qing captives.Otherwise, even if he could win with the remaining one thousand cavalry, it would be a miserable victory.

If the Qing cavalry were fully mobilized to avoid a large number of casualties caused by tiger squatting guns, it would be possible to wipe out more than a thousand of them.

What's more, they were rushing to chase after them, their horsepower was exhausted, and they needed to bring fifty tiger squatting cannons. It was very difficult to catch up with the Qing cavalry.

After meeting, Li Yuanyin first reported the casualties, and then asked: "Ai Zongbing, what should we do now?"

"What do you think should be done?" Ainengqi habitually asked his subordinates.

"Ah," Li Yuanyin was stunned for a moment, and then replied immediately: "Since the Qing captives sent three thousand horses to ambush us, it means that the large team going to Miyun must have important Qing captives.

But we don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in this large Qing army. Even if there are only two or three thousand and eight banner troops, we are not easy to deal with.

The humble job's suggestion is to send someone to the capital to ask for help from Huang Junmen, and at the same time carefully hang behind this large Qing army, looking for opportunities to harass or attack at night. "

"Night attack?" Ainengqi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded immediately, "I will do as you say!"

Afterwards, Ainengqi sent several sentry cavalry to the capital, leaving behind dozens of people to take care of the wounded soldiers and clean up the battlefield.

He and Li Yuanyin took the remaining [-] riders and hurried towards Miyun carefully.

It is said to be rushing, but in fact the speed is much slower than before, because they always have to be careful to prevent the Qing cavalry from ambushing again...

Daishan left a lot of sentry cavalry along the way, and took the remaining more than 2000 Eight Banners troops to catch up with the large team. …

Dorgon saw that the team was short of nearly [-] people, and a small number of those who came back were injured, so he frowned and asked, "So many soldiers and horses lost? You wiped out that Ming army cavalry?"

Daishan blushed slightly and shook his head.

"No?!" Dorgon couldn't help raising his voice, "Nearly 1000 soldiers and horses were lost, and you didn't get rid of more than [-] Ming army cavalry?"

Dai Shan frowned and said: "Although this king failed to annihilate the cavalry of the Ming army, he also caused them to lose 500 men, so he dared not chase us any more.

If the regent is not satisfied with this, he can lead his own troops to deal with the Ming army cavalry.Not only did they have hand grenades and gunfire mounted on horseback, but they also had fifty tiger squat guns.

The regent can take all the remaining soldiers and horses to see if he can take advantage of this Ming army cavalry! "

Hearing Daishan's words, Dorgon calmed down instead.

He is not good at leading troops in combat—if the cavalry equipment of the Ming army is really as good as Dai Shan said, it would be acceptable for Dai Shan to use one-to-one battle losses to make the Ming army dare not chase after them.

But Dorgon didn't want to let go of the opportunity to attack Daishan just like that, and said coldly: "Three thousand riders went to ambush [-] riders, but they exchanged one for one. You can't get rid of your mistakes in this battle." !"

Dai Shandao: "The regent can punish him however he likes, even beheading me to show the public."

Daishan is messed up.

He knew very well in his heart that Dorgon had no capable generals at hand right now, otherwise he would not be allowed to lead the army-not only was he old, but he had always been the target of suppression by Huang Taiji, Dorgon and other younger brothers. It is impossible for him to lead the army to make military exploits again.

The Qing Dynasty has reached this point, how could Dorgon kill Daishan?Hearing this, he just snorted coldly, waved his sleeves and left.

That night, although it was known that the cavalry of the Ming army was still hanging behind, the large team of the Qing court had to stop and camp - a mixed team of [-] to [-] soldiers and civilians could not travel at night.

In order to avoid being attacked by the Ming army at night, the Qing army was heavily guarded, and even five hundred riders cruised around the camp.

However, the night was safe and sound, and the Ming army did not take any action.

After another day, Qingting's large team was already close to Gubeikou Great Wall, that is, Ming's Miyun Guard and Chaohe Office.

Arriving here, the Qing court did not relax their vigilance.

Although theoretically speaking, since Huang Taiji conquered the Chahar tribe in the ninth year of Tiancong (1635), all the tribes in Monan Mongolia have surrendered.

In the second year, together with the Manchu and Han nobles, Huang Taiji was elected as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and all the ministries were officially merged into the territory of the Qing Dynasty.Even Mobei Mongolia (Khalka) and some Moxi Mongolia (Oirat) tribes in Qinghai also sent envoys to pay tribute to Huang Taiji.

But in fact, the ministries of Monan Mongolia are still highly autonomous.

When the Eight Banners Army was strong, all the Mongolian tribes in Monan rebelled from time to time, let alone the Eight Banners Army's prestige is completely lost now.

These Mongolian tribes have been oppressed by the Manchus in the past ten years, and they have become extremely poor. Now, if we know that so many nobles in the Qing court are only escorted back to Liaodong by more than 1 troops with worrying combat power, they also carry a lot of gold and silver. Treasure, maybe they will join forces to rob.

Therefore, Dorgon and others not only dare not conscript troops to protect the Mongolian tribes in the southern part of Monan, but try their best to conceal the news that they passed through the Mongolian tribes in the east. …

After leaving Longtan, we will enter the wolf's lair. Of course, Dorgon, Daishan and others should not relax their vigilance...
At night, the beginning of ugly time.

Ai Nengqi and Li Yuanyin stood on a hilltop, using infrared binoculars to look at the periphery of the Qinglu camp, they couldn't help frowning.

"I didn't expect that the Qing captives were going to leave the Great Wall, and they were still so vigilant. It's not easy for us to do it." Ai Nengqi murmured.

Although Ai Nengqi is young and has a brave fighting style, since he suffered a loss when he was the vanguard in Sichuan to attack Chengdu, he is more careful every time he leads the army alone.

What's more, through the infrared telescope, he can clearly see that there are not only many clear and dark sentries on the periphery of the Qing Dynasty, but also four or five hundred cavalry, divided into two groups, patrolling around leisurely.

Therefore, it is basically impossible for them to quietly approach the Qinglu camp to launch an attack.

Li Yuanyin was also very unwilling to find that the Qing prisoners were heavily guarded.

Both he and Ainengqi thought that after leaving the Great Wall to clear the captives, they would get help from the Mongolian tribes, and they might even conscript Mongolian cavalry escorts, and it would be even more difficult for them to obtain benefits.

Therefore, tonight was regarded by them as the last chance to keep this large team of Qing prisoners.

After thinking about it, Li Yuanyin said: "General soldier, we have tiger squat guns, grenades, and three portable searchlights that are not used very much.

As long as you can get two or three hundred steps closer to the Qinglu camp, you will have a chance to launch an attack and cause chaos in the Qinglu camp.

However, judging from our observations in the past two days, there are probably nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses in this Qing army.If we don't get it right, we might all get stuck in it. "

If it was under Zhang Xianzhong's command, Ai Nengqi would definitely order this kind of thing without hesitation.

But following Aimee Zhu for so long, Ai Nengqi's thinking has also changed a lot.

He said: "That means we have to risk our lives to keep these Qing captives, right?"

Li Yuanyin nodded.

Ainengqi sighed, "Since the lives of brothers in the whole army are involved, let's ask them what they think."
