Text 562 [Singing in the Rain]

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Dorgon stood on the high platform and observed the battlefield with binoculars.

    The rain curtain interfered with the line of sight, making it difficult to see clearly.  But one thing is certain, the Datong Army did not bother to move the artillery, because there were no buildings such as canopies near the battlefield.

    The camps of the two armies are separated by several miles, and the artillery has to be slowly brought over.  All the way had to be sheltered from the rain, a canopy had to be built on the fort, and the medicine pool had to be cleaned and dried. With that spare time, Dorgon had already evacuated.

    The elite central force of the Eight Banners Army is led by Nikan and Yue Le respectively.

    Both of them are the grandsons of Nurhachi, and they were quickly promoted by Dorgon (more to win over the factions behind them).  Especially Yue Le, who is only 20 years old this year, has already been named the Lord of the Town, so he can be called brave and good at fighting.  .

    Moving forward with one foot deep and the other shallow, Yue Le's boots got stuck in the mud, and he pulled them out several times.

    He looked around and found that many of his soldiers had their shoes ripped off in the mud.  Yue Le said to the messenger: "The whole army stops, take off their boots and go!"

    On the side of the Datong Army, they took off their shoes halfway.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    The Chinese troops on both sides were beating drums, but under the rain, the drums sounded dull and weak.

    Li Zheng was in the central army, Xiao Zongxian and Hu Dinggui respectively led their troops forward to fight Nikan and Yue Le.

    Although each other's cavalry abandoned their horses and fought on foot, they were still classified as two wings and habitually carried out outflanking.

    There are more than 30,000 troops on both sides who are confronting each other head-on.  Due to the rainy weather and muddy battle, neither side increased the width of the battlefield, but increased the depth of the formation by coincidence - Dorgon was afraid that the formation would be too thin to be completely killed, but Li Zheng did it to confuse the enemy.

    Nikan sent two troops, intending to test the attack first, but saw that Hu Dinggui sent out all the troops.

    "The whole army presses up!"

    Nikan thought that Hu Dinggui would give it a go, so naturally he didn't dare to neglect, leaving only a small number of reserve teams, and sending the rest out to fight.

    Xiao Zongxian and Yue Le's situation is similar.

    On the east side of the battlefield, after abandoning their horses, the cavalry of both sides marched towards a slope, hoping to occupy a high place in advance to gain an advantage.

    ? On the west side of the battlefield, near the river, it is a depression, and the rainy season is almost like stepping on a paddy field.  Both sides advanced slowly, and most of their strength was used to pull their feet out of the mud.

    ? On the frontal battlefield, every time a certain distance is advanced, the generals of both sides will stop and adjust their formation before moving on.  Because the ground is too difficult to walk, if you advance more than ten steps, the formation will inevitably be uneven.

    Yue Le suddenly brought his own soldiers and reserve team and pressed forward.

    He was afraid that if something went wrong, it would be difficult for the reserve team to rescue.  In the case of muddy ground, the reserve team must be closer to the battle line, so that the reserve team can quickly rush to make up for the leak.

    The elite main forces of both sides are getting closer and closer.  Fifty steps, forty steps, thirty steps, twenty steps

    They are all twenty steps away, and they are still stopping. Let's arrange the formation first.  Because there are no long-range troops, and you are not afraid of the opponent's charge, you can calmly form a team.

    ? Today is a battle of cold weapons. Whoever has a well-organized formation will have a greater chance of winning.

    Dorgon watched with binoculars, and there were soldiers holding umbrellas beside him.  Although the telescope was not exposed to rain, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was almost impossible to see the situation in the distance.

    "Raise the gun!"

    Saul drew his sword and shouted, the flag commander immediately waved the flag, and the army began to advance with long spears.

    Solhe came from the Yehenala family, and was the founder of the third and ninth leader of Zhenghuang Banner in Manchuria.  He can also be considered a minority shareholder of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because he founded Shiguan Zuoling, and this army can be passed on to his children and grandchildren in the future.

    At this moment, the distance between the main force of the two sides is only ten steps from the closest one, and fifteen steps from the farthest one.

    The Datong Army stopped advancing, and immediately afterwards, Hu Dinggui and Xiao Zongxian asked the messengers to wave the command flags.

    As the front-line commander, Yuan Siqian also conveyed the military order, and then looked at Solhe's troops more than ten meters away.

    Solhe led his troops to speed up, and when he rushed to the front of the Datong Army eight meters away, he suddenly saw the front row of the Datong Army squatting down, revealing a barrage of firecrackers behind them.

    Is it possible to fire guns in rainy days?

    Solhe was wondering when he suddenly heard a gunshot in the rain.

    A row of guns with a distance of only eight meters, only eight meters, a pig can aim with a gun!

    When Saul and he defected to Huang Taiji, he could only command 300 people, but now he can command 3,000 people.  As the gunshots sounded, his troops fell down in an instant in the front row, leaving only a few lucky ones standing still.

    This is just the beginning.

    &nbsStaggering to stand up, he wanted to raise his knife to fight for his life, but was stabbed to death by several long guns on the spot.

    These follow-up troops, regardless of the battle on both sides, went straight to chase Dorgon's central army.

    Wu Sangui rolled and crawled, and escaped for two miles.

    The cotton armor was too soaked in water, and it was too difficult to run on the muddy ground. He was almost too tired to run.  He wanted to call the soldiers over and help him run, but he couldn't see the soldiers at all.

    Wu Sangui heard footsteps, and a Datong army chased after him in the rain.

    He saw clearly the leader of the team, and quickly shouted: "Brother Wang, I am willing to surrender, don't kill me!"

    Wang Tingchen laughed loudly, and spit out again: "Who the hell is your brother? Bind up and catch a traitor!"

    Zu Dashou was also tired from running, and sat in the mud wearing his armor.

    He drew his knife across his neck and wanted to commit suicide.  But he couldn't let go, the knife was clamped around his neck for a long time, until the Datong army chased him, and he threw away the waist knife and waited to be captured.

    "Boom!"

    ? Lightning and thunder, and more rain.

    The Eight Banners soldiers in Yaozhou City are always paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.  Knowing that Dorgon's main force was defeated, he didn't dare to defend the city anymore. The general took his family and abandoned the city in the rain and fled to Xining Fort in the northwest.

    As for the supplies that Dorgon transported to the city, there was no way to take them away at all, and they were just waiting for the Datong Army to receive them.  </div&gt
