Chapter 230 Surrounding Mandahai

In front of the vast Jiaolai Plain, a snow-covered mountain range rose from the ground, spreading across the Qing army coming from the wild.

The cold wind yells, like a bone scraper, causing pain in the face.

When the Qing army advanced to the foot of Daze Mountain on the southern route, there was a forest of spears intertwined, like beasts opening their mouths, and had been waiting for a long time.

Mandahai rode a horse over a hill and stood on the top. The Qing army beside him was like mercury spreading across the earth and continued to advance. The cavalry held the ground one mile away from the spear forest. The infantry seemed to be blocked by an invisible force. The vanguard stopped, and the people behind gathered more and more, quickly forming a formation.

At this time, Mandahai pulled out a thousand-mile mirror and observed the crowds at the foot of the mountain. An army of nearly 10,000 people was marching along the mountains and forming a horizontal formation.

On the left and right wings, there were bandits of different costumes. There were soldiers and horses in the middle, with long spears in front and a large number of musketeers in the back, looking at the coming Qing army with a cold look.

On the top of the hill, the Qing generals who were turning over were stationed beside Mandahai. They looked at the Ming army blocking ahead, and each showed contemptuous eyes.

The scout reported that it was just Zhao Zamao's side troops, and some bandits. They took a casual look and saw the bandits on both sides wearing torn jackets, holding feces and shoulder poles, trembling by the cold wind, and all looked disdainful.

Zhao Zamao is okay, but with these native chickens and dogs, he also wanted to stop the Qing soldiers, so he thought too much.

"Just these bandits can kill them in less than half an hour!" Qing general Tong Yangjia said with a smile.

The Qing generals were also quite confident. At that time, the Ming Dynasty's official army could fight thousands of bandits with hundreds of people, and thousands of officials could chase tens of thousands of bandits and attack them. It was even more difficult for the Qing soldiers to deal with these bandits.

The old thieves, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, were all chased to death by the Qing soldiers. Everyone was very interested. Looking at the bandits in front of them, several of them even started to fight.

Mandahai looked into the distance with a thousand-mile mirror, and swept the circular vision from left to right. The camera returned to the elite Mingjun in the middle, and then raised the thousand-mile mirror and looked back. After a dense crowd, a large flag was particularly eye-catching.

Mandahai looked closely and identified carefully. After identifying it carefully, his face changed and suddenly spoke out and scolded: "Shut up! Be quiet!"

"Master Beile, what's the matter?" Sun Zhixie couldn't help asking.

Mandahai stared at the big flag with complicated eyes, with four large characters embroidered on it, and a string of small characters next to it, which should be some official positions that indicate their identities, and they cannot be seen clearly from too far away.

Mandahai frowned, pointed his fingers in the direction of the star, and said in a deep voice: "It seems to be Zhao Zamao!"

Many Qing generals were in an instant and were shocked. Why did Zhao Zamao come here? Shouldn't he be in Qingzhou? Even if he is not in Qingzhou, this guy should be running to Dengzhou and not be here.

The reactions of the generals behind him made Mandahai very angry. He turned around and glared at everyone, and many Qing generals quickly shut up.

At this time, Mandahai picked up the Qianli Mile Mile Mile again and looked at the Daqian Banner. Sure enough, he saw a general riding a miscellaneous horse, riding high on the horse's back, holding a terrifying mace in his hand. Who wouldn't Zhao Tiebang be?

The Zamao horse and the mace were all together, and the identity of the Ming army opposite had been confirmed, not a partial army, but Zhao Zamao himself.

Mandahai put down the Thousand Mile Mile Mile Mile, first looked at the front army lined up in front of him, then turned his head to look at the people who arrived one after another, and suddenly sneered: "Ben Beile chased from Huai'an to Shandong, with the purpose of catching up with Zhao Zamao and then destroying him in one battle. When this guy saw Ben Beile, he didn't run away, but came on his own initiative, which was simply a desperate attempt."

After hearing this, the Qing generals behind him also reacted, "Yes! I am here to chase Zhao Zamao. Now I'm catching up with you, I'm afraid of being a Mao!"

Zhao Zamao relied on the sea boats and could dominate the water, but now he was on the shore. How could the Qing army be afraid of him when fighting in the field?

Many Qing soldiers figured it out and their expressions immediately became relaxed again.

Mandahai was a little confused about why Zhao Ming appeared here, but since he was seeking death and wanted to fight the Qing army in the field, he would be reluctant to ask for it.

At this time, Mandahai raised his horse whip and was about to start to mobilize troops to defeat Zhao Zamao, and to avenge his previous shame to relieve his hatred. However, several cavalry rushed to the front and hurriedly reported: "Master Beile, tens of thousands of bandits appeared in the west, coming here!"

Mandahai was shocked and snorted coldly, "So you're prepared!"

At this moment, Mandahai was no longer hesitating, and ordered the scouts to continue to investigate, and at the same time, they hurriedly asked the army to quickly arrange the formation and prepare to start a war to face the enemy.

The 15,000 Qing army were all old soldiers who had been through battle formations. Seeing the central army waving the flag, the army quickly changed from marching formation to combat formation. The five armies in front, back, left, middle and right were clearly formed, and the flags were waving, indicating that they were not ordinary people.

Mandahai led the generals to the central army, at the core of the army's command. Ten thousand cavalry and five thousand infantrymen pressed the camp and set up their formations. The chariots and horses whistled, and the north wind was whistling, and there was silence. Only the war horses thrust the ground and made a sound, and murderous aura instantly filled the battlefield.

The cold wind yelled and the military flags were blew, and Mandahai stood under the banner of the Great Crown and issued the first military order, "The right-wing cavalry army transferred two thousand people to the left wing!"

The central army ordered the flag to be waved, and the right-wing cavalry immediately moved to the left wing, with the obvious purpose of guarding against the thief army pressing over from the west.

The horse army galloped, and the snow in the Central Plains was not as heavy as the goose feathers outside the pass, and the thickness was not as thick as the calf of the war horse, which had little impact on the Qing cavalry.

Mandahai watched the cavalry running, then looked up at the Ming army's flag in front, showing a fierce look on his face.

Come on! Zhao Zamao uses all your methods, and Benbeile will compete with you today to see how many skills you have.

"Tell the left wing that once the enemy from the west arrives, the horse army will attack and destroy them while it has not yet formed a formation, and do not let the bandits crash into the army!" Seeing that the army formation had been completed, Mandahai's confidence increased greatly and ordered loudly.

At this moment, another team of scouts rushed over and reported anxiously: "Report! Master Beile, I found bandits in the east, and they came from the wilderness, countless!"

Mandahai and others felt a stern heart. They turned their heads and looked. Sure enough, there were countless black dots appearing on the snow-white hills in the east, and they advanced towards the battlefield all over the mountains.

Zhao Ming opened the warehouse and released grain, and even transported the supplies from Haizhou and Kaishan Island to Shandong, climbed the high and called out, and the people of Denglai responded in groups.

When the Qing army looked around, they saw their scouts pulling their horses back and running. Behind the Qing army scouts, the rebels everywhere were wearing various armors and cotton jackets, holding spears, swords, wooden sticks, feces and hoes, rushing towards the battlefield, as if they were throwing a carpet on the hills, and the sound was extremely terrifying and shocking.

Mandahai looked around and saw a lot of people and their undulating weapons. He was also surprised. Could it be that Zhao Zamao, the people of Denglai, were all mobilized?

Just as he was surprised, he heard his subordinate exclaiming, "No, it's here too!"

Mandahai suddenly looked back and saw black spots moving on the snow behind, and the number of people was also quite large.

In an instant, Mandahai finally changed his color again, and he felt ominous in his heart, and felt surrounded.

In the Qing army formation, the soldiers found that they were surrounded on all sides and were frightened and furious.
