Anti Qing

Chapter 6 Dodo
The night of December 29th.

In the north, tonight is supposed to be a small year for family reunion. As usual, inside and outside Tongguan, this time is already decorated with lights and festoons to welcome the arrival of the new year.

But now, soldiers gathered inside and outside Tongguan, and the battle clouds were densely covered. The armies of both sides fought all day, and the bones were piled up like a mountain.

After the Qing army arrived in Tongguan, they camped in the place called Northwest Village under Niutouyuan. This was the only Pingchuan area before Tongguan where large troops could camp.

Before Duduo himself arrived at Tongguan, he frequently dispatched vanguard cavalry to explore the terrain near Tongguan, search for and occupy the place where there is a water source under Niutouyuan.

After the army arrived in Tongguan, they immediately sent people to control the water source to ensure drinking water for the troops.

There used to be a lot of villages gathered in these places. I heard that the Qing army was coming, but now they have all run away.

When the forwards of the Qing army arrived, they saw only empty houses standing on the loess, and they didn't see a living person, so they were somewhat disappointed.

In the large white tent in the middle of the Qing army camp, a large yellow dragon flag was erected high, and Duoduo sat in it with deep eyes.

A guard was standing in front of him reporting the battle report.

"Over 25 people from the bandit's bandits and puppet marquis Li Guo stationed in Yan'an and confronted me and Prince Shuoying. Since the [-]th, Prince Ying sent Wu Sangui's troops to attack several times and suffered a lot of losses!"

"Tenths of thousands of thieves from Gao Yigong, Zhao Guangyuan, and other thieves headed for Pingyang and Huaiqing in two routes from Xi'an!"

Doduo sneered, and raised his hand to signal him to shut up.

"As soon as our army arrived in Huaiqing earlier this month, Azig had already arrived in Mizhi and slaughtered Li Zicheng's hometown."

Speaking of this matter, Duoduo was still full of jealousy. Such a great achievement was picked up by him, but he was trying his best to gnaw at the tough bone of Tongguan.

In today's battle at Jinduguan, Duoduo knew that Li Zicheng's main force was not easy to fight, at least the tens of thousands of elite men under him were not comparable to the group of pigs in the Ming army.

Without Hongyi cannons, no matter whether you cross Yuanwanggou or storm Jindouguan, you have to use human lives to fill it.

Duoduo was ordered to rescue Huaiqing first, and then attack Tongguan. Due to the sudden arrival, most of the Han army was still on their way, and most of the people who followed were Manchurian soldiers.

To really attack Tongguan, the tens of thousands of cannon fodder under Geng Zhongming's men would not be enough.

"It's been a month, why didn't you even take down Yan'an?"

"What is Azig doing? You only know how to slaughter cities and rob women!"

The master's face was full of anger, as a slave, he must quickly show his loyalty.

Huaishun King Geng Zhongming, who served as the leader of the Zhenghuang Banner of the Han Army, rolled his eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward like a pug to comfort him.

"Prince Yu, please calm down. Li Guo, a false hero, is famous in the camp. He is a tiger. Prince Ying must be afraid that the Manchurian soldiers will suffer too much damage, so he dare not rush in."

"Our army only needs to sit in the big camp, and when the Hongyi cannons are delivered, we can hit the east gate of Tongguan in Yuanwanggou, and stand invincible, and the bandit army will be in chaos."

Doduo glanced at him with a half-smile and a cold look in his eyes.

"You dog slave understands the truth, but this king doesn't understand?"

The flattery hit the horse's hoof, and Geng Zhongming immediately knelt down on his knees, his face flushed.

It just so happened that a guard of the Zhengbai Banner arrived and solved his predicament.

"Report-"

"Prince Ying, the position of my ambush has been exposed. Shangshan, Beizi of Gushan with a red flag, was attacked by the vanguard of the bandit's subordinates in a gully three miles away. The puppet Marquis Liu Fangliang besieged him, fighting for help!"

Dodo immediately stood up, furious.

"what?"

"What does Shang Shan do to eat!"

After many years of being a slave, Geng Zhongming had no sense of the insults of Fang Cai, and his dignity had already been trampled on the soles of his feet when he was sent to the Qing Dynasty.

Geng Zhongming immediately stood up, lowered his eyebrows and said.

"Shang Shan has been following Prince Yu for a long time, and he will not make mistakes easily. It must not be so simple."

"Prince Yu predicted the enemy ahead of time. Now that the bandits are robbing the camp, our army has already made preparations. This servant is willing to lead the Zhenghuang Banner Han army cavalry to rush to help and wipe out these bandits under the plateau!"

Dodo stared at him coldly for a while, then got up and walked to the map to examine it.

"You are right. The place to set up an ambush was chosen by the king himself, and there will be no mistakes."

"What's going on, we have to wait until Shang Shan is rescued."

The military situation was urgent, and Duduo's rage didn't last long, and he calmed down quickly.

Since entering the customs, the forces of the Eight Banners of Manchuria have been scattered and severely damaged. The speed of arresting the wild Jurchens in Laozhai cannot keep up with the loss. Now the tough battles require the use of people from the Green Camp as cannon fodder.

What Shang Shan brought with him was five hundred Manchurian guards, the elite of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and the lives of the [-] Han army and the Green Battalion were no match.

Duoduo's eyes were sunken, and he scanned the map of Tongguan hanging in front of him back and forth.

The previously selected ambush site is a ditch under Niutou Plateau, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend. It is a dangerous move for soldiers.

"It seems that Liu Fangliang has some skills, and he was able to discover the king's ambush!"

Doduo's eyes moved slightly, and his breath was steady.

Shang Shan's situation is very dangerous, he is a child of the clan with the red flag, although his title is not high, but his status is very important, he must immediately send someone to rescue him.

Duo Duo didn't care about his life and death, but was mainly worried that Shang Shan was a junior with a red flag after all, and if he died in battle, it would affect Dai Shan's position and be detrimental to Dorgon!

Now the Qing Dynasty seems to be working together, but in reality it is undercurrents.

Thinking that the Dashun army had never used firearms on the battlefield all the way from Shanhaiguan, Duoduo was not too anxious.

The fighting power of the Manchurian guards is stronger than that of Dashun's old battalion. If they want to eat these 500 people, if they don't have suitable firearms, unless Li Zicheng sends 1 people.

There was really such a big movement of 1 people, and the sentry cavalry wandering outside Jindou Pass had already discovered it.

"This king will give you a thousand horses of the Han army with yellow flags and light cavalry to help Shang Shan."

Geng Zhongming knew that the opportunity to make meritorious deeds had come, and he was eager to perform.

"Thank you, my lord, for your trust! This servant will capture Liu Fangliang alive, and sacrifice him to his horse!"

When Geng Zhongming walked out of the camp, people in the Qing army's camp were screaming and screaming. Because they were preparing to rob the camp in advance, most of the Qing army had already dressed neatly and were only waiting for an order.

More than a thousand horse teams rumbled out, and the loess filled the sky.

Geng Zhongming was one of the first traitors to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. He was crowned king earlier than Wu Sangui, and his original subordinates were exhausted in successive years of fighting.

This time, more than a thousand Han troops brought out Zhenghuangqi Qingqi, most of them were composed of the original Ming army after entering the customs.

These people did not perform very well when they were members of the Ming army, but after joining the green battalion, their combat effectiveness was stronger than that of the ordinary Dashun army cavalry due to sufficient pay and excellent equipment.

The distance of three miles is not very far, the mobilization force of the Qing army is good, riding lightly on a fast horse, Geng Zhongming quickly arrived not far to the left of the gully where Shang Shan set up an ambush and was surrounded.

Geng Zhongming rode up the hill to observe the battlefield, intending to find the best position to rush in and settle the battle once and for all.

Now, for the Dashun Army that is fighting, his cavalry is an extraordinary force.

But the next moment, Geng Zhongming's face was full of disbelief.

Outside the gully of Niutouyuan, there is a group of Dashun cavalry wandering around, throwing bowl-sized paper balls into the gully, thick smoke will rise soon after they pass by.

Geng Zhongming used to be a member of the Ming army, so he could see clearly that the firearms that the Dashun army was throwing were clearly the burning fires recorded in the Fire Dragon Book!
This kind of unstoppable cannon explodes when it hits the ground, and everything it passes burns, and the miasma formed is highly poisonous. It was called a magic weapon by the Qi family army who used it!

The Fire Dragon Divine Book is a confidential military book that even many generals of the Ming army do not know. Geng Zhongming only heard that Sun Chuanting had one in his hand, but he was not qualified to consult it at all.

The Dashun army is just a group of rogues, how did they know this?
In this short period of time, the Dashun army had already been divided into two cavalry battalions, besieging the [-] Manchu guards who had set up an ambush under the gully near the gully.

Shangshan's Manchurian guards were outnumbered, and they were all infantry. They were distracted by the sudden fire in the gully, fell into chaos, and casualties began to increase.

Geng Zhongming was very clear about Dashun Army's intentions.

There is raging fire under the gully, they clearly want to force Shang Shan's Manchurian guards down the gully!

The Dashun army who came to rob the camp was at least twice as many as Shang Shan, and there was still a reserve team in the rear. Geng Zhongming looked back at the thousands of Qingqi behind him, his eyes fluctuating.

He knew very well in his heart that the Manchu guards in the gully could not be rescued. If they were not burned to death, they would be poisoned to death, and they were all dead anyway.

The Dashun army, which can fight head-on with the Manchurian guards, is probably not an ordinary cavalry team, it is likely to be Li Zicheng's elite old battalion.

In the Shanhaiguan battle, the old battalion of the Dashun Army, Jingqi, could even fight against the Eight Banners iron cavalry.

But if he just withdraws like this, judging from Duoduo's brutal character, it will be difficult to survive.
