Chapter 1638: Three Battlefields North and South (2)

ps: Thank you to the book friend "Qingming Taoist fellow" and "King of the God-Words" for the monthly votes.

Although this "rebel army" has only more than a hundred people, they come from the Central Military Camp. These are real children of bannermen. Whether they are them or their parents, they are all meritorious children who follow Dorgon from outside the pass to inside the pass. Their numbers are small, which can represent the interests and demands of many bannermen in the city.

For example, they insist on leaving the city to fight, which is what most bannermen demand. It is just that many people consider their family and do not participate, which does not mean that they do not agree.

Therefore, after Jixiha and Lan gave the killing order, the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and the lips died and the teeth were cold. A originally small "rebellion" quickly turned into a large-scale "campaign" and spread on the spot.

The Central Military Camp first began to provoke the Han camp and then took the sword.

The Han people's camp began to dare not fight back and fled everywhere, but when they found that these bannermen were chasing each other, they wanted to die, so they began to fight back.

The Han camp has a large number of people. Once the counterattack begins, the situation will slowly begin to reverse.

When Jishiha heard the news, Lan Bai was shocked. Only then did they realize the seriousness of the problem.

After a brief discussion, the two of them gathered their own private guards and private troops and formed a squeezing team of more than 1,000 people. While suppressing, they also claimed that they had decided to leave the city to fight the Ming army, and each battalion returned to their garrisons. If they were stranded on the streets, they would be killed immediately.

In this way, the Zhongjun Camp was comforted on the surface. As the Zhongjun Camp's pursuit of the Han camp was stopped, the Han camp slowly retreated and returned to the garrison.

But this roar has had great consequences.

The army on the same front in the city had a considerable casualties due to the fighting between the two sides, and a rift was created.

This kind of crack cannot be bridged in a short period of time, especially the shadow in the hearts of the Han people is huge. They are afraid that when the man suddenly swings his sword at them again. If it is on the battlefield, they will be swinging his sword from behind, they will not know how they die.

This shadow erodes their loyalty to the Manchus, who was not much.

But Jixiha and Lanbai were not aware of this danger. They were just discussing urgently and appeased the Central Military Camp whether to go out of the city to fight as promised.

After repeated discussions and confirmations, Jishiha and Lanbai finally decided to leave the city to fight as promised.

But leaving the city is not going out of the south gate, but the north gate.

Because the two of them have the style of being a general, which fits the military strategy of Sun Tzu's "being defeated before fighting". The two believed that in the event of a defeat in the war, their cavalry could return to the north gate to enter the city as usual. Even if the enemy pursued, they could only follow. As long as they were properly arranged on the city wall and at the speed of their cavalry, they would definitely be able to retreat into the city first.

In the early morning of the next day, at the north gate of Haizhou City, 3,600 cavalry came out one after another, then turned around and rushed out of the south gate in two directions, attacking the artillery positions of Wusong Camp, and the other route was preparing to fight against the Fenglei Cavalry and dragging them to cover the front road to raid the enemy artillery.

....

This is not an isolated case of the outbreak of battle in Haizhou City.

In Dingyuan City, Fengyang Prefecture, the commanders of Guangxin Guard Li Guo and Liu Tiren had to make a choice after receiving Wu Zheng's reprimand.

Is it a false act, to be independent from the General's Mansion, or to follow the General's orders and launch a strong attack on Fengyang City.

The former was rejected by the two of them at the beginning, but the reason was very simple: they could not surrender to the enemy.

Li Zicheng's spirit in heaven and the hundreds of thousands of Dashun soldiers who died at the hands of the Qing army would not agree.

But if you don’t invest in the clearance and occupy only one small city, how can you survive in the cracks?

Then don’t have to choose, just follow the orders.

But the problem is that Fengyang City has at least 30,000 Qing troops, and it is the Ajige station, Huaiyuan in the west and Huai in the east, all of which have no less than 20,000 enemy troops stationed, forming east-west flanks.

With the power of Guangxin Guard, it is almost impossible to attack Fengyang City.

Li Guo and Liu Tiren were confused about whether Wu Zheng deliberately used Ajige's hand to make both sides fight to lose both sides to consume Guangxinwei's strength.

The two of them hesitated for a long time and couldn't think of a solution to both sides. They could only grit their teeth and fight first.

However, the two of them were still more conscientious. They were indeed attacking, but the target was Linhuai.

The reason is very simple. Linhuai and Fengyang City are not far away, and on the east side of Fengyang City. If you attack Fengyang City, then Guangxinwei will be attacked by Huaiyuan, Fengyang and Linhuai. Guangxinwei will definitely not be able to withstand it.

If you choose to attack Linhuai, then you will face two routes of Linhuai and Fengyang City at most. Compared with being attacked on three sides, it would be much easier to be attacked on both sides. Moreover, Guangxinwei can retreat to Dongsizhou, bordering Sizhou and Yangzhou and Huaian. It should not be a problem to leave at that time, and it is much better than annihilation of the entire army.

The key is, from a logical point of view, Li Guo and the other two did not resist the order.

Because the enemy troops in Fengyang and Linhuai City were almost in unison, no matter which city they attacked, they would cause a chain reaction, which gave Li Guo the possibility of distinguishing it in front of Wu Zheng.

Therefore, the entire Guangxin Guard army was dispatched, and Li Guo personally led a force to attack Linhuai, while Liu Tiren led his troops to attack the east bank of Donghao River. The former Mingfei Xiong Guard garrison, which was now occupied by the Qing army, was to support Li Guo and retreat to the east at any time.

Due to the previous reciprocity between Li Guo and Ajige, the soldiers on both sides "build teams" each other and the relationship is "changing" and the progress of Guangxinwei has now suddenly turned against each other and has taken the Qing army off guard.

The three thousand Qing troops in Feixiong Guard were surrounded and annihilated by Liu Tiren with more than three times the force.

Just like Li Guo himself admitted that Wu Zheng had never treated Guangxinwei badly. According to Guangxinwei personnel, muskets and cannons, the replacement of the personnel, muskets and artillery had been completed. What was missing was the part of the expansion of the later soldiers and equipment that Li Guo and Liu Tiren took the opportunity to expand without authorization.

During this attack, Li Guo and Liu Tiren were prepared. Li Guo took away all the heavy artillery, and left all the small artillery to Liu Tiren.

Because Linhuai is a strong city, and the Feixiongwei station can be wiped out by small cannons.

It took only one hour for nearly 600 tiger squatting cannons, and the Feixiong Guard station within a radius of three miles was almost completely flattened.

Liu Tiren didn't even give an order to clear the battlefield, and quickly ordered the entire army to turn around and pounce on the former Ming Yingwu Guard's garrison to the west.

Ajige stationed 3,000 people in Feixiong Guard and Yingwu Guard station to prevent Li Guo.

Of course, in Ajige's view, Li Guo lacks the courage to attack, and at most he is just a thorn and cannot become a life-threatening knife.

Unfortunately, Ajige did not really understand that Li Guo and Wu were only fighting for power, but it was an irreconcilable blood hatred against Manchus.

There were three thousand Qing troops in Feixiong Guard's garrison, no one was left behind.

It’s not that Liu Tiren doesn’t want to stay, but he really can’t stay.
Chapter completed!
