Chapter 21 The Bloody Battle Begins
Hou Qifei reported to Yue Tuo. Lu Xiangsheng did not move his troops to Daming Mansion. Instead, he used a hungry army to find the main force of the Qing army to fight. Yue Tuo immediately ordered all the elite troops to lead the troops to Lu Xiangsheng's army, and all the remaining troops were handed over to Du Du, allowing Du Du to continue to build a big momentum to go south to Shandong.
When Yuetuo's men approached Lu Xiangsheng's army, another Hou Qi came to report: "Main General, Lu Xiangsheng's men have already entered Jiazhuang! The army of commander Dorgon also began to set up an encirclement! Dorgon first stationed with thousands of people, and his main force was still far away to confuse Lu Xiangsheng, but in fact he had to arrange troops near Jiazhuang, and the encirclement was blocked."
Yue Tuo nodded and said, "Okay! I understand! The command to the entire army to move forward quickly! This credit cannot be taken away by Dorgon! Lu Xiangsheng's head must be taken down!"
What Yue Tuo thought in his heart was: "The emperor also issued a secret order to take down Zhang Biwu's head to vent the emperor's anger! Zhang Biwu, I will not forget that you kidnapped the emperor under our noses. As long as you fall into my hands, I will make you sadder than death!"
Yue Tuo summoned his younger brother Wakda and said, "Fourth brother, have you remembered all my instructions?" Wakda nodded clearly and said, "Yes! I have recorded all of them! Brother, don't worry! I will not lose your face, nor will we lose our red flag face, nor will we lose our face!"
Yue Tou waved his hand and signaled that Wakda could go, and he would be ready to grab the credit.
On the other hand, although Yue Tuo's actions were concealed by Lu Xiangsheng, they were not concealed by Dorgon.
"Oh! Yue Tuo actually brought 15,000 people this time, and all of them were cavalry, and they were his elite!" Dorgon smiled and said, "It seems that Yue Tuo was willing to pay off all his money this time. He had to seize the credit!"
Duoduo came over and said, "Brother, you can't let Yuetuo take away the credit! Don't forget that we have arranged in Jiazhuang, but there are 30,000 troops! Why did you take it away for Yuetuo? Lu Xiangsheng only has three or four thousand remaining troops. They don't say they are injured, they can't even eat enough. They are not our opponents!"
Dorgon smiled sly, he ignored Duoduo, but instead shouted: "Tell me to order Shuotuo, tell him that he must assist his brother Yuetuo to make great contributions! Their brothers work together to cut off the gold!"
"What?" Duoduo was shocked and said, "Brother, I heard it right? Why did you pass on such a general order? What are you doing? Are you really giving the credit to Yuetuo? You must know that Yuetuo is Huang Taiji who wants to support him to deal with you!"
Dorgon smiled and said, "What are you doing? I'm doing this for Huang Taiji! Didn't Huang Taiji want to help Yuetuo deal with me? Then I'm as his wish! Tell him that Dorgon is so loyal! He wants to chop my head and divide my power, so I stretch out my head and let him cut it off and let him divide my power!"
"You're crazy!" Duoduo didn't understand, so he pointed at Dorgon.
Dorgon put his hand on Duoduo's shoulder and said confidently: "Don't worry! Brother, I feel very distressed with our two white flags! If there were no two white flags, our brothers, including brother Ajige, wouldn't have their heads growing on their necks anymore, so do you say I would joke with our two white flags? Wait and see, Lu Xiangsheng can't run away! His relative Zhang Biwu can't run away either! But who picked the fruit of victory? Not necessarily!"
When Dodo saw Dorgon say this, he smiled again. He then understood, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and said, "It's amazing! High! It's really high! Haha!"
Dorgon called Shuo to him, and he said all the good things to him, just to encourage him and let the two brothers make contributions.
Shuotou served in Dorgon's army, and he was convinced by Dorgon. Now he saw Dorgon considering him and sent him to assist his brother, so he was even more happy. Naturally, he wanted to lead his troops and cooperate with some of the troops given by Dorgon to go to Yuetuo.
Shuotou was the second son of Daishan and the second brother of Yuetuo. He did not go to war with Yuetuo. The reason why he belonged to Dorgon was specially arranged by Huang Taiji. As long as Shuotou was with Dorgon, he could constantly inform Dorgon of military information and provide help to Yuetuo. Shuotou could restrain Dorgon, and Dorgon had to worry about wanting to harm Yuetuo.
However, Shuotuo was more and more impressed by his fourteenth uncle Dorgon, and in the end he even became Dorgon's capable subordinate.
When Yuetuo saw Shuotuo coming to vote for him and brought Dorgon's greetings, Dorgon asked him to help, and said that if Yuetuo could not destroy Lu Xiangsheng, he would come and help again.
This made Yuetuo angry. Yuetuo tore Dorgon's letter to pieces and shouted: "Dorgon! Don't underestimate me! I will definitely succeed! I will get the heads of Lu Xiangsheng and Zhang Biwu!"
Wakda hurriedly reported: "Brother, good things! The thousands of troops sent by Dorgon absorbed Lu Xiangsheng, and Lu Xiangsheng led his army to attack! Now the empty door behind Lu Xiangsheng is wide open! Lu Xiangsheng did not find my army! If our army suddenly attacks, he will definitely be able to make great contributions! Attack!"
Shuotou also said, "Yes! Attack! This is the plan of the 14th Uncle!" Yuetuo's expression was ugly. He didn't want to win Dorgon's love, but now he has to win Dorgon's love.
He yelled: "Strike!" Yue Tuo thought in his heart: "Dorgon, you deliberately made me owe you favors, but I not only don't thank you, but I hate you! You are showing your contempt for me!"
Yue Tuo looked at them and said, "I should attack, but I must be sure! That is Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu. Although they are loyal, once they encounter danger, his subordinates will still encourage them to break through quickly! Once the two broke through, Lu Xiangsheng's strength will be even more hit! At that time, isn't it very easy for us to destroy Lu Xiangsheng?"
Yue Tuo said to Shuo Tuo: "Tell the fourteenth uncle that the two generals of the Ming army, Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu, relying on the fourteenth uncle, to eliminate them! After all, we cannot take all the credit!"
Shuotuo nodded in agreement. In fact, he didn't know that Yuetuo planned to be elite. He knew that Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu's army could fight, and the remaining ones must be elite. Dorgon was also determined to kill Zhang Biwu. For this reason, Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu might not be able to be eliminated.
Lu Xiangsheng charged with his men and horses, and he shouted: "Come on! Kill!" Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu's soldiers followed closely behind.
Yue Tuo's army suddenly attacked! More than 10,000 cavalrymen were moving in the sky! The whole earth trembled!
Yang Lukai said anxiously: "Sir, it's not good! Our back was attacked by the Qing army!" Hou Qifei reported: "Report! The enemy cavalry was divided around us. It seems that the enemy cavalry wanted to encircle! They were all cavalry!"
This time, people's faces changed drastically. Only Lu Xiangsheng remained calm. He laughed and said, "Haha! OK! Ten thousand cavalry? Great! These are the elite of the Tartars! If they can defeat their 10,000 cavalry and kill more enemy soldiers, it will be a great harm to the Tartars!"
Lu Xiangsheng looked at the fleeing Qing soldiers in front of him again. The Qing soldiers had stopped and had no intention of siege. These Qing soldiers were fighting the banners of two white flags. The Qing soldiers who came to attack were fighting the banners of the red flags, which were different.
Behind it was smoke and dust covering the sky, the sound of wisps came, and the sound of horse hooves thundered!
Yang Guozhu shouted: "Sir, we are attacked by the enemy from both sides! What should we do?" After all, Lu Xiangsheng has been through a long battle formation. He said: "Don't worry everyone! After what I saw, our people turned back and attacked the enemy behind! The white-flag people and horses in the Tatars in front stopped, and the other party might not want to fight! They were thinking about the benefits of the fisherman!"
When Zhang Biwu heard this, he opened his eyes wide and understood, what a Dorgon! He just wanted to fight Lu Xiangsheng and the Inlaid Red Flag to the death, and his two white flags would come to clean up the mess. Now what Dorgon has to do is to set up a surround as soon as possible to prevent Zhang Biwu and the others from breaking out!
Lu Xiangsheng shouted: "Everyone comes with me! Suddenly towards Jiazhuang! He defended Jiazhuang with danger, which seemed to be a serious damage to the enemy!"
Lu Xiangsheng's method is good. In Jiazhuang, the town of Jiazhuang, it can prevent the Qing cavalry from playing a role, but it is equivalent to sending himself to a dead end! It is not that Lu Xiangsheng doesn't understand, but what he is thinking now is that he can kill more Qing soldiers and count one!
Lu Xiangsheng immediately ordered: "Tiger's power is powerful on the left wing, Yang Guozhu's right wing, I'll be in the center! Everyone will attack the Tartars together!"
Zhang Yan and Yang Lukai were responsible for guarding Lu Xiangsheng's left and right.
Zhang Biwu secretly said to Lin Xiangfeng and the others: "Be careful! Be careful! If you act, follow my orders!" Lin Xiangfeng and the others nodded with clarity.
Zhang Biwu thought to himself: "We cannot retreat to Jiazhuang! If we retreat to Jiazhuang, it is equivalent to death! Because the enemies are all cavalry, most of us are infantry. They can completely encircle Jiazhuang to the point where they are incomplete! If only they break through now! But Lu Xiangsheng didn't listen to me! If necessary, I would use extraordinary means!"
"In history, when Lu Xiangsheng was sieged by the Qing army, he retreated into Jiazhuang, and then the Qing cavalry surrounded him three times outside Jiazhuang alone! On the next day, Lu Xiangsheng was killed in the four arrows and three blades. We cannot let our army retreat into Jiazhuang! Break through! We must break through!"
Gu Xian nodded to Zhang Biwu, and Zhang Biwu also nodded. Success or failure is here! "Gu Xian, it's up to you!"
The sound of the trumpet sounded! Suddenly, Lu Xiangsheng's army's rear team turned into a front team, and Lu Xiangsheng was even ahead. He waved his big sword and took the lead in charge!
