153 The Battle of Changde (Part 2)
At this time, Bai Wenxuan and Feng Shuangli did not disappoint their own people and the enemy. The two commanders led their personal soldiers to fight against the Qing soldiers surrounded by the North Korea. After a long battle, the Qing army failed to successfully encircle and annihilate according to the expected results. Instead, some of the Qing troops participated in the battle were defeated by the Ming soldiers and fled in all directions.
Just when Zhuo Luo was worried about this hard bone being too difficult to chew, another group of people suddenly appeared on the battlefield. Judging from the banner of this group of people, it was obvious that it was the Ming army.
Although Li Dingguo was not a military genius who could win every battle, he was a person who knew how to learn. During his more than ten years of military career, he gradually understood war, understood war, and initially mastered some potential laws on the battlefield.
Therefore, some small tricks on the battlefield could not escape the eyes of Li Dingguo, who had been through the battlefield for a long time. The commander of the Qing army, Zhuo Luo, actually thought that he could use a small group of cavalry to lure the enemy into the depths and then attack ambush, and he really underestimated his ability.
Therefore, in order to give these Qing troops who despise themselves a little more, Li Dingguo decided to use the tricks and actively break into the enemy's encirclement to attract the Qing army to fight. When the battle was at its most critical moment...
Everything was carried out with Li Dingguo's advance instructions. At the most critical moment of the battle, Ma Bao and Gao Qilong led 300 elite cavalry to suddenly attack the left mountain of Kucaoping, attacked the Qing army's infantry array, and easily divided the Qing army's team into several pieces. The Qing army was caught off guard and the team was in chaos.
The Ming army infantry in the encirclement received their own support, and their morale was greatly boosted. Then they waved swords, guns, rattan cards and rush forward, all of which were one to do ten. Under the attacks of the Ming army inside and outside, the morale that was not high was completely lost and was soon defeated. The dead were as big as mountains, blocking the river next to the ambush site.
General Xu Yong failed to escape because he was responsible for cutting off the rear. After being shot by Li Dingguo with an arrow, he became a prisoner of the Ming army honestly and was escorted to the Changsha camp overnight to perform the prisoner and earnestly.
In other green camps, the Qing army of the Han Eight Banners also captured a lot, and even captured more than a dozen elite white-armored soldiers of the Qing army from the Manchu Eight Banners alive.
The white-armored soldiers were the Bayala soldiers, the most elite sergeant of the Qing Dynasty. However, in recent years, the Bayala camp has been continuously expanded, and the number of people has doubled. The population of the Manchus is limited, and the standards for recruitment can only be reduced. The quality of the white-armored soldiers is getting worse and worse, and it is not much stronger than the red-armored soldiers in the early years.
I wanted to cast a net to catch fish, but I didn't expect that the sharks caught. In the end, the fish was not dead, but the net was broken, and the vitality was severely damaged. Zhuo Luo covered the wound on his arm and looked at the few Eight Banners children beside him, wanting to cry without tears. In desperation, he could only run away with thousands of remaining troops and escaped to Yiyang before stopping.
Although the Ming army saw through the opponent's tricks and beautifully implemented the plan, causing the enemy to hit him head-on, Li Dingguo was not satisfied with these results, because his real goal of leaving the city this time was to take advantage of the victory to recover the fallen Yiyang.
At this moment, Yiyang had only five or six thousand defeated soldiers without fighting spirit, except for Zhuo Luo's thousands of defeated soldiers. Originally, Geng Zhongming's 30,000 main men were transferred back to the old nest of Yuezhou by Kong Youde. The Yiyang guard was Ma Jiaolin, the former general of Wuhan Town. Ma's ancestors were the nobles of the Ming Dynasty and the family of military generals. He fought with the peasant army in his early years and later relied on Zuo Liangyu. After Zuo Liangyu died, he turned to the Qing court. He was all under his command, including the children of Xiliang, and the fierce Hui soldiers, with strong combat power.
On the 12th, the Ming army arrived at Yiyang, and Li Dingguo personally went to the front line to command the army to attack the city. The battle of siege was fought from morning to night. Unfortunately, because the large army was in a hurry and lacked large-scale siege equipment and artillery, although the offensive was fierce, it failed to capture Yiyang, which had a tight defense.
On the fifteenth, Li Dingguo, who had been attacking for three consecutive days, felt that the blind attack could not make any major progress for the time being, so he set up camp outside the city and went to Changsha to camp and requested the emperor to send artillery teams and reinforcements to support him.
...
Yuezhou Prefecture, Yuezhou is located slightly northerly in the central part of Huguang, with a long and narrow east-west east-west east-west, and divides Huguang into two parts across the lake. Yuezhou Prefecture is located on the east bank of Dahu, connecting to Changsha Prefecture to the south, and connecting to Changde Prefecture to the west. Its military position is very important. It is the base camp of King Sanshun in Huguang.
A few months ago, the field battle at Yingtian Pass failed. Kong Youde brought the army of 100,000 to the war and returned to his nest in shame. Then he kept guarding the various checkpoints, so that the Ming army did not dare to act rashly for a while.
"Yuntai, Zhenyang, are all here!"
Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi entered the handsome tent and gently looked at these two partners who had been together for many years. Kong Youde greeted him. Kong Youde was born in the 30th year of Wanli (16o2nd year of the Western calendar). This year is only 45 years old, which is the golden period of his military career. After experiencing wind and rain, the years left deep traces on his face.
"Master!"
Monk Geng Zhongming received Kong Youde's urgent order in the military camp and hurried back. After entering the tent, he gave Kong Youde a gift, and did not take off his armor. He only took off his helmet, shook the dust on his sleeves, and sat down.
After the greetings, Kong Youde frowned and extended his hand to Geng Zhongming, who was defeated by Zhuo Luo and the letter of help from Yiyang, and said: "In the battle of Changde, Zhuo Luo's more than 20,000 troops were almost wiped out. Our dynasty has never lost any of this! Kong is going to become a sinner of the Qing Dynasty!"
Geng Zhongming read the handwritten order and handed it to Shang Kexi. Shang Kexi looked carefully and said with a shocked look on his face: "Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, our army has indeed not had any humiliation today. Shang is also responsible for the defeat of Changde!"
"Who knows that I haven't seen each other for a year, and the pseudo-official court suddenly became so united! It's useless to say this at this moment. The key is how to remedy it!"
Kong Youde and Shang Kexi. Geng Zhongming was known as the disciple of the Three Mines in Shandong. He was both Mao Wenlong's adopted son at that time. Later, they all defected to Manchuria and became a prince of different natures. He was also a single army in battles all year round. However, emotionally speaking, Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde were more considerate.
After years of getting along, Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde have already had some close communication. He accurately realized that Kong Youde's calm appearance was unstable.
After Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, the troops in Dongjiang collapsed. Geng Zhongming followed Kong Youde to join the governor of Denglai, Sun Yuanhua, while Shang Kexi stayed in Dongjiang. After the Denglai Incident in the fourth year of Chongzhen, the two of them surrendered to the Dajin and were valued by the Dakang. Later, the founding of the Qing Dynasty, they all conferred the kingdom of the strange and the king of the Sex. It was under the vigorous cultivation of Sun Yuanhua that Kong Youde's team received training from foreigners and had considerable combat power. With this, he was able to rank among the Three Kings.
Geng Zhongming and him have been through the storm and have been Kong Youde's deputy for many years and worked diligently. Shang Kexi was only after Kong Youde and others surrendered to Huang Taiji that they led their troops to join us under Kong Youde's rebellion. In terms of emotions, they naturally have to be less emotional.
