- Liu Liangzuo went out of the city in fear, and led his troops only three miles before he was spotted by sentry cavalry crouching in the dark.
"Call!"
The sharp brass whistle sounded in the night, and the nearby dragoons rushed up, and then blew their horns to call for more friendly troops.
Lu Xiangsheng's cavalrymen are also on standby near the camp, feeding the horses with night food. Hearing the sound of the horn, he immediately got on his horse and jogged towards the direction of the sound of the horn.
Liu Liangzuo originally wanted to flee back to the city, but he was worried that the city wall would be bombarded by artillery. It would be better to surrender now than to surrender at that time.
However, the "Warriors" of the Thousand Night Raiders were selected from various ministries. It is difficult for these "warriors" to obey the abnormal military orders issued temporarily, or they cannot react at all.
Liu Liangzuo was about to surrender, but before he gave an order, the soldiers under his command started to flee - they came to rob the camp, since they were discovered by the enemy, they naturally ran away subconsciously.
More than two hundred dragoons wanted to fire their guns, but when they saw the enemy fleeing, they immediately rode their horses to intercept and kill them.
After fighting for a while, Lu Xiangsheng led the Xiao cavalry to kill, and the battle situation was settled in an instant, and the Qing soldiers began to disperse and flee.
These guys, five hundred cavalry and five hundred infantry, all carried firelighters. The hooves of the horses were wrapped in cotton cloth, and the horses' mouths were covered with cages to avoid making noise during the march.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Liangzuo fled without even having a chance to surrender.
He was chased outside the city by several dragoons, and when he saw the city gate open, he rushed in immediately.
The Datong dragoons did not dare to follow, because there was an urn inside, even if Lu Xiangsheng led thousands of cavalry to enter, they would be locked in the urn and shot from all sides.
A thousand soldiers were scrapped, only Liu Liangzuo fled back alone, and a few cavalry slipped away, not knowing which direction they fled.
The guards in the city were speechless and thought that they could only continue to guard the city of sorrow.
the next day.
Bombardment, Bombardment, Bombardment!
The gap in the city wall is getting bigger and bigger, and it is only a matter of time before it collapses
Dorgon was in Fugou County. When he learned that Xiangcheng and Shenqiu had fallen, he immediately decided to use his plan.
In Shangshui, Chenzhou, and Xihua counties, Dorgon only left a small number of troops. It is nothing more than attracting Jiang Liang's fifth division to capture, not only can lengthen the fifth division's supply line, but also allow the fifth division to divide its forces to defend the city.
At that time, send cavalry to cut off the food road, and then the army will besiege and annihilate them!
The idea was quite good, but as a result, Zhao Han passed an army order, not only did the Fifth Division not continue to attack, but even spit out Xiangcheng and Shenqiu that had already been occupied. They even retreated for two hundred miles, directly to Yingzhou (Fuyang), and even lost Taihe County, which had been divided into households and land for more than a year.
Just one word: Steady!
The Sixth Division of Jiang Dashan is similar, defending Yancheng without moving. With the strength and food of the Sixth Division, it will be no problem to guard for half a year. If Dorgon is awesome, he will lead his troops around Yancheng and go to the hinterland of the Datong Army to rob everywhere.
Zhao Han's here is not the court of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was ravaged by the Manchu Qing in the Gyeonggi area, and even the actual strength of the Manchu Qing was not clear.
As long as Dorgon dares to come, Zhao Han will lose population and food at most, and he can definitely mobilize the army to close the door and beat the dogs.
Just when Dorgon was hesitating and didn't know whether to pursue him or not, the messenger sent military information: "His Royal Highness, the main force of the enemy army is besieging Shangqiu, with fifty or sixty cannons. There are also three giant cannons, there may be seven or eight One thousand catties!"
"How strong is the enemy army?" Dorgon asked.
The messenger handed over the military information: "There are countless, my master is asking for reinforcements."
Countless, really countless.
Outside Shangqiu City, although there are only Zhao Han's pro-army and two divisions, there are only more than 20,000 regular troops. But there are many peasants, soldiers and peasants, as well as a large number of hungry people and rebels, and the camp stretches for more than ten miles.
How does this make the defenders in the city count?
Dorgon opened the letter and read it repeatedly, but he couldn't find a description of the enemy's strength. The letter only said that the enemy camp stretched more than ten miles.
Zhao Han camped for more than ten miles, because Zhao Han was afraid of being affected by the hungry people, so he threw the hungry people far away. Moreover, when a plague was found among the hungry people, Zhao Han ordered not to gather in large numbers.
After thinking about it, it was difficult for Dorgon to make a decision, so he recruited his generals to discuss the matter.
Man Dahai, the grandson of Nurhaci, the Duke of the Manchu Dynasty, and the owner of the banner with the red flag, said: "This place is no better than Liaodong, and the puppet is not the same as Ming Dynasty. It is difficult to get news back from the spies we send out, and it is not easy to buy spies. In this way The situation of the enemy army is unknown, how can we let him come a few ways, and I just go all the way? Those southern barbarians, it is easy to call, but it is difficult to get news when they go back!"
"Yeah, let's just say that in Yingzhou City, even beggars can't be found!" It was Nurha who spoke.Ergun saw that everyone agreed with this proposal, and he himself felt that he could fight, so he said: "Then go to Shangqiu for a decisive battle!"
When Dorgon led the army to Shangqiu, he also ordered Wu Sangui and other generals to gather cavalry to plunder Suiping, Shangcai, Taihe and other counties. In this way, the Datong army in the middle of Henan can be restrained, so that these Datong army cannot go to reinforce the Shangqiu battlefield.
After Wu Sangui received the military order, he took the remaining Guanning iron cavalry, Ma Ke and others to surrender to the border generals, and the whole cavalry team went south to plunder.
After crossing the Lishui, Wu Sangui said to the surrendered generals: "A team of three hundred cavalry should only kill and set fire. Don't grab too much property, otherwise the enemy will not be able to chase you fast. Each person should grab at most ten catties of grain and bring them with you. Those who don¡¯t leave will be burned!¡±
All the surrendered generals couldn't bear it.
It's not that they can't bear to burn, kill and loot, but they can't bear to burn food. All of them, these miscellaneous troops, are short of food.
Wu Sangui also said: "All the houses along the way will be burned down. Don't chase after the enemy. After five days, cross the river and go back. Don't be chased by those cavalry with guns."
