Chapter 614 The first setback in the confrontation
Seeing the Tang cavalry coming overwhelmed by the sky, Shaerhuer's face turned yellow.
Okay, looking at the Tang army's strength, at least three or four thousand cavalry rushed over. How could the Tang army be so powerful?
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Shaerhuda's face was as yellow as paper. He roared as much as possible, and took the lead in pulling out his horse and fleeing.
The main general fled first, and the rest of the Qing cavalry seemed to have woken up from a dream, and they also pulled their horses back and fled wildly.
The Qing army rushed to the ground and turned around and ran away. The more than ten remaining Qing army whistle cavalry who fled behind quickly chased the Tang army and swallowed them up like wind and clouds.
The Tang cavalry chased all the way, like a dog chasing a rabbit, chasing all the Qing cavalry nearly ten miles away, and they stopped their troops until they had already left the attack range.
Shaer Huda, who led his army to run wildly and fled all the way, saw from a distance that the Tang cavalry who were chasing him retreated, and then he slowed down his pace of escape.
The Qing cavalry re-invented, and lost nearly one hundred whistle cavalry. It was probably because they were either killed or scattered in the pursuit of the Tang army. Of course, these unlucky cavalry were hard to find.
In summary, Shaerhuda lost more than 250 cavalry in total, many of which were elite white armor. This loss was too great if he failed to complete the reconnaissance mission.
It’s not good to go out! It seems that there will be a tough battle with the Tang army in Zhenyuan Fort in the future.
Sharhuda lamented in his heart, ashamed and regretted it, but he could only lead a group of remnants to retreat quickly. Soon, he met with Duoduo's large army.
Seeing Duoduo sitting upright immediately, Shahrhuda was in a panic, but could only step forward to report.
"Reported to Prince Yu, the slave led his army to investigate, but was suddenly ambushed by the Tang army. Fortunately, the slave reacted quickly and hurriedly led his army to retreat, so he saved most of the troops. The slave went there and failed to complete the task assigned by Prince Yu, which was a death sentence..." Shaerhu made up a lie guiltily, while watching Duoduo's reaction carefully.
Duoduo's face was tense and his face looked very ugly. He didn't say anything for a while. Finally, he asked coldly: "Sharhuda, have you not found out about the current defense situation of the Tang army at Zhenyuan Fort?"
"This..., the master, the slave is incompetent, and it is indeed undiscovered. However, according to the escaped whistle cavalry, the Tang army had dug the moat around Zhenyuan Fort and made comprehensive defenses. If the large number of artillery carried by our army wanted to move straight, they would probably not be able to..."
Duoduo frowned heavily, and while stroking his beard and pondering, the deputy commander Shuo Tuo interrupted: "Duoduo, our army was not good at going forward, and it was really hateful to have a weak spirit! Now the Tang army is ready, and the enemy situation is unclear, our army must not move lightly!"
"Don't move lightly? Now our army is about to reach Zhenyuan Fort, what's the point?" Duoduo looked worried: "It's true that the army must go forward, so how can we retreat easily. What's more, our army is just a small setback, so how can we make a move without moving forward? Could it be that because the enemy's situation is unclear, we can only sleep in the wilderness, spending time, and slowly investigate the enemy's situation?"
Duoduo scolded him in the face, and Shuotuo looked ashamed. He stumbled and replied: "With Prince Yu's opinion, how should we act properly?"
"In my opinion, in my opinion, our army has arrived in the current plan. Just as we take advantage of this spirit and make rapid progress, we must not delay the time. We have been exhausted from the enemy for a long time, and finally we are exhausted and futile. "Duoduo stroked his beard with his beard and made the final decision: "Our army's journey can be said to be not entering the tiger's den, how can we get a tiger's son? Whether it can win quickly is here!"
When Duoduo said this, he immediately shouted: "The whole army obeyed the order! Order the infantry team to move forward and open the way. The cavalry was divided into two parts, protecting the infantry flanks, and the artillery troops behind them followed. The entire army was promising all the way forward, and they were not allowed to leave the team without authorization, and went straight to the city of Zhenyuan Fort before making any conspiracy."
"Yeah! The slave obeys the order!"
Fifty thousand Qing troops came to Zhenyuan Fortress in a mighty way, like a large cloud that could not be seen, with murderous aura sweeping across the sky, and its momentum was astonishing.
In the trench in front of Zhenyuan Fort, the commander of the Tang army who saw the movements of the Qing army with a thousand-mile mirror, Duan Shiqin, the mayor of Dingbei Town, showed a faint smile on his face.
"Hmph, the Qing army was not scared by our cavalry, but came straight to our army's main lineup. The general expected that the Qing army had come from afar, lack of supplies and impatient people, and would definitely want to fight and decide quickly with our army, but our army was not as good as he wished." Duan Shishi sneered and turned to the deputy mayor Liu Wenxiu and asked: "Wenxiu, have you all lured the enemy cavalry be ready?"
Liu Wenxiu looked up high, and just led his troops to pursue the Qing army's whistle cavalry and successfully forced Shaerhuda to retreat, he is now full of confidence. He heard Duan Shishi's question and immediately replied loudly: "Mayor Duan, our cavalry is ready, so he waited for Mayor Duan to give an order."
"Okay, that's the man who is the man who has the 3,000 cavalrymen who are quick to take them into two parts to lure the enemy. As long as you can lead the Qing army to the trap, it will be the first achievement!"
"Get order!"
Liu Wenxiu led three thousand Tang cavalry divided into two parts and immediately rode forward, facing the Qing army that rushed over the horizon.
As soon as Liu Wenxiu left, Duan Shiqi immediately ordered Taku Xingzhong, deputy battalion commander of the A battalion of Dingbei Town, next to him: "Xingzhong, are all ambushing troops in the traps in various places now ready?"
Tuo Xingzhong replied with an excited look: "Don't worry, Mayor Duan! I have already prepared the ambushers and musketeers in various places. Just when General Liu lures the enemy over, he will pull the trap well and bury all the enemy alive, leaving him to death!"
Duan Shiqi was very satisfied and patted him on the shoulder several times to show encouragement, and arranged the rest of the troops, completing the emergency mobilization of the entire battlefield.
At this time, beside him, Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou, who had been staying in Zhenyuan Fort since joining the Tang army, were impressed by the fact that the Tang army was so quick and orderly and organized.
"Alas, it was amazing to know that Lord Li's Tang army was so powerful and powerful! How foolish we had no eyesight that day, and we destroyed our reputation and surrendered to the Qing army. If we had led our troops to defeat the King of Liao earlier, why would we suffer this humiliation in vain? This army would be very regretful. "Zu Dashou rubbed his hands and sighed with regret on his face.
Hong Chengchou also looked melancholy, and he sighed and said, "Da Shou, you think so, I will sigh and hate him! I think Hong has served the Ming Dynasty for many years. As an important official of the court, he can only sigh that Song Jin was defeated and had to abandon the country and surrender to the enemy. This is a great shame! Fortunately, Lord Li's Tang army took us in, otherwise, we really don't know how to deal with it."
Just as the two of them were sighing, most of the Qing army was getting closer and closer, getting closer to the Tang cavalry of Liu Wenxiu's troops, and the flags and horses were vaguely visible.
"Prince Yu! No, look at the Tang cavalry coming!"
Shaer Huda, who was highly nervous in his heart, was the guide next to Duoduo. When he saw the Tang cavalry running from afar, he immediately thought of the embarrassing situation of being chased just now. With a horror, he hurriedly pointed to the Tang army running towards him and reported to Duoduo with a trembling voice.
In fact, why do you need nonsense? Duoduo could see clearly. He held the mirror in his hand and observed it quickly. Then he immediately shouted in a deep voice: "Transfer the order of this king, thousands of cavalry in the Tang army came in two parts. Our army suspended its advance, arranged on the spot, and then made a decision!"
When the 50,000 Qing troops heard this order, they immediately stopped moving and formed a formation on the spot. They saw the two Tang cavalrymen getting closer and closer and quickly approaching their eyes.
"Prince Yu, are the cavalrymen of the Tang army coming, but to lure us to pursue us?" Shuotuo, who was beside him, carefully reminded.
"Watch the changes and see what the thousands of Tang cavalry have." Duoduo replied quickly.
Soon, Liu Wenxiu, deputy mayor of Liu Dingbei Town, led the left-wing cavalry to the Qing army first.
Duoduo clearly saw from the Thousand Mile Mile Mile that at a distance of one arrow, a Tang army general with a white armor and a shiny silver spear stopped his horse and slowly stepped forward. Behind it, thousands of Tang cavalry also stopped at the same time and were ready for battle.
"How dare you come to invade my territory if you are shameless Tartars? Are you living impatiently?"
The Tang army general pointed at the central army where Duoduo was located and cursed loudly.
Duoduo suddenly felt that this person's voice sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
He thought carefully and suddenly remembered that this person was Liu Wenxiu, the general of the Tang army who led the Tang army to build Xilin Gol City on the Mongolian grassland that day?!
Fortunately, he led his troops in time to conquer the Tang army failed to build a city here, thus eliminating the danger of the Qing Dynasty. In the battle against the enemy at that time, Duoduo was deeply impressed by this brave and warlike young Tang army general.
Really enemies are so narrow!
Unexpectedly, these Tang troops set out from Xuanfu North Road, crossed the thousand-mile grassland, and captured Zhenyuan Fort in Liaoxi. It was so powerful!
Now, I led my troops to conquer and retaliate my country, making me look like an invader. These Tang troops occupying this place have regarded this place as their own inherent territory and are about to strictly guard and fight to the death to resist the enemy.
How can I say this?
A strong murderous intent rose from Duoduo's heart.
If you don’t kill this person first, you will destroy the spirit of the Tang army, how to inspire the morale of the army, and how to vent my hatred!
"Sharhuda!"
"The slave is here!"
"I will order you to quickly take all our cavalry to divide them into two parts to kill the Tang army opposite!" Duoduo gritted his teeth and said viciously. "As for the Tang army generals on the opposite side, be sure to kill them. Take this person's head to see him. Do you understand?"
"Slave obeys the order!"
Shaerhuda responded loudly, turned around and wanted to leave, but was heard in a deep voice behind him: "Come back!"
"What else does Prince Yu have to do?" Shaerhuda replied anxiously.
"Sharhuda, I will send you to attack the Tang army's cavalry. You must be careful and never be reckless. If the Tang army is defeated and fled, you will lead the army to pursue it all the way, be careful. Never get caught in the Tang army as last time, and lose its strength in vain. Do you understand?"
Before Duoduo finished speaking, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound like the sky collapsed and the ground collapsed at the horizon at the end of his eyes. At the same time, there were continuous screams of people and the cry of horses that could be heard.
