Nanming Yiming

Chapter 179 Surrounding and annihilating Li Guohan

Seeing Qian Mo's malicious smile made Bil Tahar feel hairy all over, and he shouted: "Don't kill me, my father is willing to pay the ransom!"

Qian Mo said: "I'm the Duke of Ming Yue, can I send you the ransom of three melons and two dates? You can do it if you want to live, you must do as I say!"

Outside Poyang City, several Mongolian cavalry galloped past and rushed directly into the Qing army camp.I saw a Mongolian co-leader saying: "The general is not good, the Ming army has already invaded Guangxin Mansion. My little prince first smashed the vanguard of the Ming army in Qigong Town, killing 3000 enemies; but after the main force of the Ming army came, There are more than 3 people, and the little prince is trapped in the Lingshan Valley, and I ask the general to send troops to rescue."

The fact that the Ming army invaded Guangxin Mansion so quickly surprised Tan Tai, and he immediately asked, "Do you know which Ming army it is?"

The leader said: "According to the accounts of the prisoners of the Ming army, it was Li Yuanyin, the left governor under Li Chengdong, the Duke of Huiguo, who raided Shangrao City by way of Quzhou and bypassing the Fenshui Pass."

Hearing that the Zhejiang Ming Army was not under Qian Mo, Tan Tai's face finally softened a little.If it were someone else, he would not be able to save him, but the identity of this young prince of Horqin is really not simple, not to mention that he is the Qing Dynasty's Gu Lun forehead son-in-law, or the nephew of the current Empress Dowager, and his biological sister is the present-day Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty ; Even based on the relationship between Wu Keshan and Dorgon, he can't just ignore it.

The Ming army defended Poyang to the core, and there were many soldiers and horses in the city. He couldn't conquer it for a while, anyway, the city of Poyang couldn't be surrounded, so it was better to lure the snake out of the hole fortunately.

Soon Tan Tai sent 1 people from the Li Guohan Department of the Xianglan Banner of the Han Army and 2 Green Battalions to support Bil Tahar.

On the way to the south, Li Guohan encountered several waves of Mongolian messengers urging reinforcements along the way, so he had to speed up his march.This little Mongolian prince has a noble status, if he can be rescued, it will definitely be of great help to his official career.

The 3 Qing army traveled day and night, and finally arrived at Qigong Town, which is less than 20 miles away from Lingshan.

At this time, they encountered many Mongolian rangers one after another. Li Guohan hurriedly asked about the situation of the battle, and said, "How is the battle ahead, is the young prince alright?"

A Mongolian soldier replied: "The Ming army surrounded the young prince in the Lingshan Valley. We are few and can't rush in. I also ask Li Dutong to rush to the rescue."

Li Guohan was afraid that he was late because the Ming army had already eaten the Mongols. Now that he heard that the war was not over yet, he immediately felt relieved.He knew that his men and horses were exhausted after traveling day and night, and the attack was too hasty now.

So he ordered the army to rest in place, light a fire to cook, and then go out to fight the Ming army after a full meal.

After the rest, the state of the Qing army recovered a lot, but now that the situation is urgent, Li Guohan quickly gathered his troops and marched towards Lingshan.

When they rushed to the valley, they found thousands of Mongolian cavalry fighting the Ming army, and Li Guohan immediately sent cavalry to support them.When the Ming army discovered that the reinforcements from the Qing army were coming, they immediately retreated into the valley.

The Mongolian leader who led the troops said: "Finally, I waited for you, and the little prince was besieged by the Ming army in the valley ahead."

Looking at the valley in front of him, Li Guohan couldn't help frowning. The terrain inside is complicated. If the Ming army arranged an ambush in the valley, wouldn't it be a disaster?

Seeing Li Guohan's hesitation, the Mongolian leader said: "We have fought against the Ming army many times, and their combat power is not strong. Just because of the large number of people, Li Dutong sent 5000 troops to help me. The little prince was rescued."

At this moment, Li Guohan is also riding a tiger, and Bir Tahar is in danger. He can't stand still in front of the valley. Since the Mongols are so confident, he will first send 5000 green battalions to find out the truth.

Unexpectedly, after they entered the valley, Li Guohan sent many batches of scouts into the valley to inquire about the situation, but there was no news.

Huang Yu said: "To the Duke of Yue, the 5000 Qing troops in the valley have been taken care of, and we can deal with Li Guohan outside the valley."

Qian Mo said: "Admiral Huang has worked hard. It is expected that Li Guohan will not dare to venture into the valley again. Send a signal."

The absence of any news actually sent a dangerous signal. Li Guohan knew that they must have been ambushed by the Ming army. Just as he was hesitating whether to withdraw his troops, the soldiers came to report: "Li Du is not in control. A large number of Ming troops are found behind. Our retreat was cut off by the Ming army."

And a large number of Ming troops in front of them also began to slowly come out of the valley, forming an array in front.

At this time Li Guohan had 1 cavalry and 1 infantry in his hands.He hurriedly dispatched cavalry, trying to disrupt the Ming army's formation before the Ming army had a firm foothold.

This was exactly what Qian Mo wanted to see the most. Behind Li Guohan was the 5 Ming army led by Ji'an General Liu Yipeng. Although there were a lot of people, their combat power was not strong.If Li Guohan put all his eggs in one basket and left the infantry behind, and directly led the cavalry to break through there, the result would be hard to say.

Now he is charging towards the Shenji Battalion in front of him, facing the most powerful Ming army, that is exactly what he wants.

Huang Yu shouted: "Tiger crouching gun is ready to fire!"

Now all the troops of Shenji Battalion have arrived at Guangxin Mansion, and their firepower is extremely strong. 40 tiger crouching guns were lined up in several rows, and as Huang Yu gave an order, shells roared towards him one after another.

It soon fell into the charge of the Qing cavalry, and the air waves formed by the shells overturned a large number of cavalry; although the Ming army's tiger squatting guns were light artillery, their power was not too great, but due to their large number, the fire coverage The area is also quite large, causing great confusion to the charging Qing cavalry.

Li Guohan suddenly felt that the situation was not good. This kind of firepower could not be the Ming army under Li Chengdong, it must be the Zhejiang Ming army.

The cavalry who were attacked by the artillery quickened their pace, because they knew that if they were fast enough, they could avoid a second shelling from the artillery.

"Bang, bang, bang"

Soon there was the sound of firecrackers from the Ming army. The Qing cavalry rushing to the front didn't care at all. Are the Ming troops crazy? Fire at a distance of 120 paces.

But they never expected that they would be shot by the Ming army at this distance. When the bullet passed through the chest of the Qing army, their expressions froze, and the cavalry in the front row fell to the ground one after another.

After all, the Shenji Battalion only had 600 quick-fire rifles, and the firepower at this time was not very intensive.Although the impact formation of the Qing army had a certain impact, it was not very fatal.

But after entering the 90th step, the situation is different. All the Lumi guns of the Ming army can be fired.

Thousands of Ming troops fired at the same time, what a spectacular scene.

First round, second round, third round.
After three rounds of shooting, almost all the cavalry of the Qing army who rushed to the front fell off their horses, and the whole battlefield was full of blood; He entered the range of the Ming army.

At this time, the second round of artillery fire from the Ming army came one after another, and the cavalry formation of the Qing army was completely chaotic.

At this time, the 5000 cavalry of the Huzhou Battalion and the 10000 cavalry led by Li Yuanyin were rushed towards the Qing army's cavalry from the left and right directions.

One round of gunfire plus two rounds of shelling directly killed 4000 Qing troops.How could the cavalry of the Qing army, which was in extreme chaos, withstand such an impact?
The cavalry of the Han army flag and the green battalion were not as elite as the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, and they were defeated immediately after the fight.

The 2000 cavalry of the Qing army at the rear saw this posture and quickly turned their horses and retreated to the main formation.And how could Li Yuanyin let go of this opportunity? He hurriedly led his 1 cavalry to chase after the Qing army's defeated cavalry to cover up and kill them all the way;

Li Guohan yelled that it was not good, the Ming army wanted to drive away the Qing army's defeated cavalry, and took the opportunity to charge into battle.

Quickly shouted: "Shield soldiers line up, gunners prepare."

The 5000 infantry of the Han Army Banner hurriedly lined up to meet the enemy.There is a prerequisite for the formation of infantry to meet cavalry, and that is to use the terrain.When the Ming army lined up just now, the valley entrance was completely full, and the cavalry had no chance to attack the infantry from both sides, so they had to choose to attack from the front.

At this time, Li Guohan was in an open area, and there was no need for the Ming army to attack his formation from the front.

Sure enough, the cavalry of the Qing army bypassed their own infantry and dispersed to both sides. The cavalry of the Ming army who followed quickly gave up chasing the cavalry of the Qing army and regrouped on the two wings of the Qing army.

Li Yuanyin gave an order, and 1 cavalry attacked the flanks of the Qing army's infantry from both sides at the same time.Just now, the shield soldiers of the Qing army were all arranged to the front, and it was difficult to adjust their direction for a while.

At this time, the gunners could only temporarily change direction and shoot at the Ming army cavalry.The bird guns of the Qing army were not comparable to the Lumi guns of the Ming army, and they fought hastily, so the damage to the Ming army was naturally limited.

After a small number of Ming troops were knocked down by the Qing army's blunderbusses, the Qing soldiers of the Ming army rushed directly into the Qing army's formation from both sides.Li Yuanyin took the lead, and saw that his silver spear and armor rushed into the Qing army's formation like a silver python, and the silver spear in his hand spit out countless gunshots, and the Qing troops fell to the ground wherever he passed.

In this way, he directly killed a opponent in the Qing army formation.

Qian Mo, who was watching from a distance, was amazed, and exclaimed: "This Li Yuanyin is really fierce, and he is playing superbly with a silver gun, just like Changshan Zhao Zilong who went in and out seven times before Changbanpo. This Li Chengdong really accepted a kindness son!"

Huang Yu said with a smile: "Duke Yue has a heart for talents?"

It would be a lie to say that he is not envious or jealous. Looking at Zhang Xianzhong's adopted sons, and Li Chengdong's adopted sons, each one is more vigorous than the other.But Qian Mo is not yet 21 years old, and there are few generals in the army who are younger than him. It is not easy to accept a foster brother, let alone a foster son.

Envy is envy, other people's sons belong to others after all.

Bier Tahar said: "Duke Yue, please see, my Mongolian cavalry's riding and shooting skills are also unrivaled in the world."

For the safety of their little prince, these Mongolian cavalry could only take orders from Qian Mo temporarily.

Cavalry charge ahead, and bows and arrows can lob the infantry behind, which is better than firecrackers.At this time, a large number of gunners in the Shenji Battalion could only look at the front and fight, but could not provide fire support, but the Mongolian cavalry could lob the enemy's rear.

As a large rain of arrows fell, many Qing troops were shot. Although the damage directly caused by this lob shot was not that great, it caused great confusion to the Qing army.

Li Guohan saw the Mongols shooting arrows at him, and finally realized that this was a trap set by the Ming army.

There were tens of thousands of Ming troops encircling him, and he knew that his infantry phalanx could not last long.

So he hurriedly summoned the 2000 cavalry who had withdrawn before, together with some of his confidants, and fought desperately to the rear, hoping to blaze a trail of blood.

But when he saw the Ming army at the back, he was dumbfounded. The Ming army here is no less than the front, and there is no end in sight. It seems that the scale will not be less than 5.

Li Guohan's heart turned cold for an instant, the Ming Army Society actually mobilized more than 5000 troops to deal with him.The most disgusting thing is that the Ming army has such a superior force that they dare not fight him with swords and guns; first, they used the Mongols to lure his [-] people into the valley. At this time, he really wanted to greet the entire family of the Ming army commander.

It seems that he is doomed today, at this time Li Guohan also broke out with a burst of vigor, leading more than 2000 people to kill the Ming army without hesitation.

He shouted: "Brothers, kill one to earn money, kill two to earn one, come with me!"

Seeing this scene, Liu Yipeng, the chief soldier of Ji'an, said with a smile: "Finally, I left a mouthful of soup for us, and ordered all the cavalry to attack, and leave these Qing troops behind."

Soon [-] Ming Army cavalry stepped forward and surrounded Li Guohan and others.

Li Guohan and the others are just a defeated army, and they just exploded some combat power by relying on the desire to survive, which is limited than the Ming army cavalry in front of them.The Ming army had an absolute numerical advantage, and at this time the two sides fought to a draw.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if this continues, it is only a matter of time before the entire Qing army is wiped out.

But at this moment, the sound of horseshoes vibrating came from behind Liu Yipeng, and when he looked back, he saw a group of cavalry in yellow armor, sweeping towards them like a yellow whirlwind.

Just now, Ming Jun's attention was all attracted by Li Guohan, and he didn't notice his rear at all.At this time, all the cavalry in Liu Yipeng's hands had surrounded Li Guohan, and the Qing army easily disrupted the formation of the Ming army.

When Qian Mo saw the Zhenghuangqi cavalry through the binoculars, he knew something bad was going to happen.He never expected that Jin Shenghuan would not be entangled with Tan Tai's Zhenghuang Qi.

But it seems that there are only a few thousand cavalrymen, and it seems that Tan Tai has not completely escaped!
Qian Mo hurriedly shouted: "Send a signal, let all the cavalry press up, and make sure to keep these Manchurian yellow flags for me."

Soon a loud arrow crossed the sky, attracting everyone's attention to Zhenghuangqi.

The infantry of the Qing army had been rushed to pieces, Li Yuanyin and Wang Zaixing hurriedly assembled all the cavalry and charged towards the Eight Banners soldiers.Even Bier Tahar used the horn to send a signal to the Mongolian cavalry, signaling them to follow the Ming army to attack.

At this time, 5000 Manchurian Zhenghuang Banners, together with nearly 2 Ming troops and Mongolian cavalry, rushed towards Li Guohan's direction!
