Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 74 It's Lin Yi Again!

Ji Dong slept until the sun was up.When he woke up naturally, Xiaoying had already woken up.

Then Xiaoying flew back and forth in front of Lin Yi like a swallow, helping Lin Yi get dressed and washed.

Then Ji Dong went outside the camp, punched and stretched his muscles, and when he was slightly sweating, Xiao Ying had already served the food.

After breakfast, Lin Yi took Xiaoying, Zhang Hua, Erhu, He Tao, Wang Qi and others to inspect the defense.

At this time, Zu Keyong led Wang Jian and others were already busy. The brothers were strengthening the camp defense, deep ditches and high forts, antlers and branches, arranging bows and arrows, muskets and crossfire, because this is the big camp that was built only yesterday. Many places are not perfect.

Zu Keyong is a strong general of the Ningyuan Army. He is very good at commanding operations. There is no need for Lin Yi to worry about camp selection, camping, and city defense arrangements.

The strange thing is that the Tartars did not come to attack these two days. It is said that Zu Kuan was wounded and lost his generals. There are only 6000 people left in the 2000 troops.

However, they stopped attacking to give Zu Kuan a chance to breathe. When Lin Yi and the others arrived with reinforcements, set up camp and everything was ready, the Tatars remained indifferent. This should not be the Tatars' style.

Ji Dong knew that the Tartars hadn't faded away, a big war would definitely come, and they must be planning a bigger attack.

In particular, the commander-in-chief of the Tartars on the opposite side is Azige, the king of Wuying County, who is well-known as Hehe Doro, one of the princes of the Qing Dynasty.

I know Aji Gelinyi very well, knowing that he is one of the God of War figures in the Qing Dynasty, and a pillar in the early Qing Dynasty, second only to Dorgon in terms of fame and status.Dorgon made his fortune by relying on the three brothers of their mother and compatriots, and Azig was the leading brother of the three brothers.

Therefore, Ji Dong has made full psychological preparations.Facing Azig's 4 to 5000 horses, Lin Yi and Zu Kejia only had [-] people, and there was a huge gap between the number of people, and they were camping in the wild, so there was no strong city to defend.

All this shows: this is not just a tough battle, but a bad one.

Fortunately, Ji Dong's troops are all elite, Ningyuan Army, Tianxiong Army, these are the most powerful troops in the late Ming Dynasty.

Ji Dong not only heard about their reputation, but also saw it with his own eyes. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are not ordinary tough.

Soldiers are not many but fine, so Ji Dong is confident in this battle.

In order to know himself and the enemy, and win a hundred battles without danger, Lin Yi sent spies to the tartars who hadn't attacked for two days...

Azige led an army of 4, and when he drove to Qianxi, he encountered Zu Kuan's men.

Although Zu Kuan is not good at character, he is very good at fighting.Lu Xiangsheng spoke highly of this person. As early as three years ago, Lu Xiangsheng participated in the suppression of Li Zicheng and other peasant armies, and was promoted to the right deputy capital censor, prime minister of military affairs in Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Huguang, and Sichuan, and governor of Huguang. Later, he was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of War , Then moved to the Ministry of War Zuo Shilang, Governor Xuanfu, Datong, Shanxi and other places of military affairs.

In his memorial to Emperor Chongzhen, he wrote that in the process of suppressing the thieves by all kinds of soldiers and horses, the soldiers who aided and suppressed the Liao Ding under the command of Zu Dale and Zu Kuan were the most powerful and killed the most thieves.

This can be seen.

The battle in Qianxi was fierce. Zu Kuan's Ningyuan army was not in vain. On the Liaodong battlefield outside the pass, they fought against the Tartars many times. Hit hard.

This time, Azig was hit head-on for the first time since entering the customs. As a result, Azig's 4 army was blocked, and the two sides fought fiercely for two days and two nights.

The Tartars suffered nearly 6000 casualties, and Zu Kuan also suffered heavy casualties. Of the [-] Ningyuan army, there were only about [-] left, and he could no longer hold on.

When Azig was about to eat Zukuan with all his might and win Qianxi, the bad news came that his commander-in-chief, the Seventh Emperor Abatai, was defeated and seriously injured.

Azige was shocked. This time, the 7 Tatars marched eastward for two main strategic purposes. One was to bloodbath Yongping, capture Lin Yi to avenge Yuetuo, and return to give Huang Taiji an explanation.

The second is to take along Lu Xiangsheng's men who are entrenched in Yuyang area by the way, lest Lu Xiangsheng obstruct it.

For these two strategic purposes, they divided their troops into two groups. Azig and Amin led an army of 4 to march eastward as the main force, and Abatai and Tan Tai led 3 horses to drive southeast to the east of Yuyang City to ambush Lu Xiangsheng's troops. .

Then they still left a certain amount of troops to defend Changping and Shunyi. On the surface, they were looking at the capital, but in fact this was their retreat, and the Tartars already had the intention to retreat.

Their planning was flawless, and they were sure of winning. Unexpectedly, Abate returned in a big defeat and was seriously injured so soon.Their strength is not weak. Abatai and Tan Tai are brave generals who are used to fighting. They also have more than a dozen cannons to cheer them on. Moreover, they have found out that Lu Xiangsheng's troops are not many.

But they lost so quickly, and lost so badly, Azig and Amin were not calm anymore.

Victory or defeat is a common thing in military strategists, and it is nothing if Abate is injured. There will naturally be casualties in wars. No, the god of luck will not accommodate Abate just because he is Huang Taiji's elder brother.

These, both Azig and Amin can accept, the key is that when their troops are defeated, Azig is equivalent to giving the flanks to the Ming army. If Lu Xiangsheng leads the army diagonally from Zunhua, Azig will still be big Return in defeat.

Azig and Amin, who had strategic vision, saw this very clearly, so they had to suspend their attack on Zu Kuan, retreat several miles, set up camp, assess the situation, and make plans again.

Aminge visited Abatai's injury, although it was a serious injury, it was not fatal. The shell didn't kill him, but his horse was overturned, and he fell off the horse, resulting in fractured waist and leg. A mild concussion.

The military doctor has already diagnosed and prescribed medicine, but it will take at least two or three months before he can recover, and he will definitely not be able to fight the battle in front of him.

Azig asked him about the disastrous defeat in detail, Abatai and Tan Tai looked ashamed, and the two supplemented each other and told the truth.

"It's Ji Dong again!" Azig couldn't help but shoot up.

First Yue Tuo, then Amin, and now Abate, these founding heroes of the Qing Dynasty, famous royal nobles, fell into the hands of an unknown young frontier soldier one after another. Shocked to annoyed.

"Seventh brother, I must bring back Ji Dong's head, let's heal first."

After Azige comforted Abatai, he sent an Ezhen with a soldier of Niulu, built a cart, and escorted Abate back to Xifengkou first. Let's go back to Shengjing together.

After sending Abate away, Azig handed over all the more than 2 troops of Abate to Tan Tai's command, and then adjusted the strategic deployment.

Azige, Amin and Tan Tai held a meeting. Since their sworn enemy Lin Yi went to Lu Xiangsheng again, why did they go to Yongping?
They decided to place the main battlefield in Zunhua, where they would fight Lu Xiangsheng to the death and clean up Lin Yi. They had already found out that Lu Xiangsheng had only a few thousand troops and had already arrived near Zunhua.Liu Zhaoji's thousands of troops in Yuyang must not dare to act rashly.Azig and the others still have a total of 6 to [-] horses. They are here to annihilate Lu Xiangsheng and capture Lin Yi for revenge. They have the strength.

But these are still two battlefields. Zu Kuan in Qianxi is still lingering on his last breath. This nail must be pulled out before Lu Xiangsheng can be encircled and suppressed in Zunhua.

But Azige was very cunning. He asked Tan Tai to attack Zunhua immediately with more than 2 troops, pretending to be sure to win, so as to contain Lu Xiangsheng.

He will not fight in Qianxi for the time being, because he knows that as long as Zukuan and the others in Qianxi survive, Lu Xiangsheng will definitely not sit idly by. He will send reinforcements to support Qianxi, which will disperse Lu Xiangsheng's troops.

Lu Xiangsheng's troops were already pitifully small, and it would be easier to annihilate them if they were divided into two fronts to fight.

After Tan Tai led his troops to kill Zunhua, Azig temporarily held back his troops and paid close attention to Qian Zukuan's troops. Although he didn't fight, he couldn't let them run away.

In addition, Azige sent people to keep an eye on Lu Xiangsheng's movements. As expected, Lu Xiangsheng's main force entered Zunhua and sent a reinforcement team to help Qianxi.

When he was informed that the reinforcement team had only 2000 people, and the leader of the team was Lin Yi, Azig was overjoyed with excitement: "It's this kid again, it's God's will that the surname Lin is unlucky, this time the king will definitely let him There is no back and forth!"

After Azig got the accurate news, he was full of ambition, and immediately sent an order to raise the account, the bull horn blew, and soon all the generals under his command arrived.

Azig was fully armed and looked at these mighty and majestic subordinates, "Everyone, the king has received the exact news that Lin Yi brought 2000 troops to reinforce Zu Kuan who moved to the west. They have already camped next to Zu Kuan. Their two camps are about ten miles apart, and they are like horns. They want to use this to fight against the king's troops. They are really overwhelmed. The king sent troops in two ways, making them difficult to care about. , Heshuobile Amin, this king ordered you to lead 1 troops to attack Zu Kuan's camp. The rest of the troops will be led by this king himself, and they will pick up Ji Dong's camp. Be sure to wipe out the enemies of the two battalions. Those who have been killed or captured Lin Yi will be rewarded with Batulu and two Niulu soldiers. Those who are timid or weak in battle, beheaded!"

"We must win! We must win!" Amin and others raised their arms and shouted, their voices shook the sky.

The next morning, when the fog was thick and the sky seemed half-bright, the Tazi soldiers divided into two groups with more than 3 horses and reached the vicinity of the two Ming army camps.

Ji Dong's camp was quiet and there was no movement at all. Azig sat on the horse and waved his saber triumphantly: "Come on, kill them all!"
