Chapter 499
The strange village beside Haoshui Bridge is like a monster that opens its mouth and swallows the lives of Qing soldiers. There are four waves of Qing soldiers. The largest number of people are the Korqin Mongols with more than 1,000 people, the lowest number of people are more than ten Manchurian scouts, and a team of four hundred Han army flag soldiers and a team of five hundred Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers. All died in the village, and there was not even a single one who lived back. Naturally, the news of the Qing army could not be conveyed.
Nearly two thousand people were missing for no reason, Dorgon was still unclear at all. This was entirely due to the contribution of Li Guodong's night-de-receiving cavalry that annihilated a large number of Qing army's whistle cavalry. At this time, Dorgon had few scouts and cavalry in his hands. He had to consider the comprehensive battlefield information, contact Yuetuo's partial division in time, and also keep an eye on Lu Xiangsheng's movements. Dorgon could no longer send more scouts and cavalry. Dorgon misjudged the disappearance of the Qing soldiers, thinking that they must have encountered the Tianxiong cavalry.
In fact, the Qing soldiers who were destroyed did not send any signal at all. Before the Qing soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han were killed, they pulled the trigger and made a gun sound. In this regard, Dorgon believed that it must be the sound of the vanguard of the Tianxiong Army fighting with the Qing army.
Only more than a dozen Manchu Eight Banners soldiers were lost, and the losses were not large. In Dorgon's eyes, the losses of the Han army flag and the Mongolian Eight Banners were not included in the losses of the Qing army. Just like a war on a certain peninsula in real history, Nanbangzi was not considered a human series, and the losses were not included in the losses of the coalition forces.
However, the Qing army was not completely lost. Near Julu, the Qing army scattered from all sides successively captured Lincheng, Yuanshi and other counties, and near Guangping Prefecture, were also ravaged by the Qing army. The Qing army plundered more than 50,000 people in nearby counties, massacred more than 100,000 people, and robbed a large number of gold, silver, treasures, food and animals.
In fact, it was because of the achievements of the surrounding areas that the Qing army dispersed its troops, so Dorgon did not pay special attention to the disappearance of the troops.
The Qing army scouts and cavalry continued to report, saying that Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army had approached Julu, and the vanguard cavalry had encountered the Qing army near Haoshui Bridge and was repelled by the Qing army. In addition, the Qing army scouts and cavalry also sent back an important information: Lu Xiangsheng's 40,000 troops were only more than 10,000 people left, less than 20,000 people.
The fact is that Huang Taiji released false information that the Qing army was about to attack Xuanda. The governor of Xuanda Chen Xinjia was indeed trapped, so he transferred Lu Xiangsheng's 15,000 Tianxiong Army, and Wang Pu's 8,000 troops were also transferred by Chen Xinjia. Lu Xiangsheng had only five,000 Tianxiong Army, and there were also five,000 troops and 5,000 troops on both sides of the left and right wings and 5,000 troops each with Hu Dawei, a total of only 15,000 people.
But the Qing army missed an important figure: Li Guodong!
Li Guodong's 2,600 cavalrymen changed into the uniforms of the Tianxiong cavalry. More than 2,000 people were drawn from the Tianxiong army to change into the clothes of auxiliary soldiers. Li Guodong's 500 god cavalry and two hundred artillery team were also disguised as auxiliary soldiers for baggage, which made the Qing army misjudgment.
In fact, the so-called vanguard of Tianxiong Army who arrived at Haoshui Bridge was disguised by Li Guodong's cavalry to confuse Dorgon and prevent Dorgon from discovering the mystery of Jiazhuang.
As a result, Dorgon was indeed trapped and thought that the nearly two thousand people he had disappeared were the cavalry of the Tianxiong Army.
Li Guodong, who disguised himself as a soldier, pretended to be repelled by the Qing army, immediately took his men across Haoshui Bridge and led his troops to hide in Jiazhuang. At the same time, he also sent a distress signal to ask Lu Xiangsheng to save him.
In fact, at the beginning, Li Guodong thought that Chen Xinjia deliberately fabricated false information and separated Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers and deliberately harmed Lu Xiangsheng. Now he understood that no matter how much Chen Xinjia cheated, he would not be able to be so bad. It was entirely because Emperor Chongzhen and Chen Xinjia were trapped by Huang Taiji, and then he separated Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers again.
The Ming Dynasty did a bad job in intelligence against the Qing army, which was completely the one-way transparency of the Qing army to the Ming army!
In Julu City and in the lobby of the county government, Qing generals were covered with gilded armor. The helmets were removed from each person, with their shiny forehead scalp and a slender rat-tail braid on their heads.
Dorgon, sitting in the middle of the lobby, opened his voice: "Everyone, the dog emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen and the governor of Xuanda Chen Xinjia, were indeed trapped. Lu Xiangsheng's troops were divided, and now there were only 15,000 left. He went deep into Shunde Prefecture alone. His confidant general Yang Lukai led two thousand cavalry and had entered Jiazhuang. Yang Lukai sent people to ask for help, and we intercepted one of the cavalry. The letter said that the old thief Lu Xiangsheng led his troops to rescue him! Then, our whistle cavalry deliberately let go of the other messengers and asked them to send the letter. Yang Lukai
Kai was a confidant Lu Xiangsheng and led the cavalry of Tianxiong's army to rescue him. Jiazhuang was located on a plain and had no danger to defend, but it was just a village without walls! If Lu Xiangsheng fell into Jiazhuang, our army could concentrate its forces to annihilate him! Now Sun Chuanting has been imprisoned. As long as we destroy Lu Xiangsheng for the bandits, no one will restrain the bandits. Emperor Chongzhen Gou had bandits inside and outside, and this Ming Dynasty would sooner or later return to my Qing Dynasty! As long as Lu Xiangsheng was destroyed, my Qing Dynasty was just around the corner!"
As soon as Dorgon finished speaking, the Qing general in the lobby made a sound of wolf howling.
"Our army should open up a way for Lu Xiangsheng and let him get into Jiazhuang! As long as he goes in, don't think of it!" Dorgon continued.
"General! Never!" Abatai stood up and opposed, "Our army is good at fighting in the field, but short of siege. If we want to destroy Lu Xiangsheng, our army should set up an ambush outside Jiazhuang. When Lu Xiangsheng approaches, he will surround him and annihilate him outside the village! Do not put Lu Xiangsheng in the village."
Dorgon snorted coldly: "A mere small village is also called siege? In this way, we can bombard the cannons of Wuzhenchaoha camp, and we will definitely break it in one fell swoop! If we set up an ambush outside Jiazhuang, I am afraid that Lu Xiangsheng will find out and break out of the siege, it will be difficult for our army to annihilate him again!"
Jirgalang, the leader of the Inlaid Blue Banner, also agreed with Dorgon's suggestion: "How can a mere Jiazhuang stop my Qing warriors? This village has neither city walls nor dangerous terrain. Abatai, do you really think our Qing warriors can only ride horses to fight? After dismounting, my Qing warriors are also the most elite infantry! On the contrary, Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei cavalry have many. When they enter the village, they lose the advantage of cavalry, which is beneficial to our Qing Dynasty! Trapped the Ming dog cavalry in the village and bombarded with the red barbarian cannons of Wuzhen Chaoha camp. Wouldn't this battle be easily won?"
In the end, no one listened to Abatai, and Dorgon was the main one. Whether it was status or strategy, Abatai and Dorgon were a big deal.
Lu Xiangsheng was in the middle army camp, and a messenger covered in blood and had a few arrows stabbed in his body and ran back. Before the messenger got off the horse, he shouted loudly: "Supervisor, something is wrong! General Yang Lukai was trapped in the siege of Jiannu, and ordered Beizhi to send a letter to ask for help!"
"What?" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't believe his ears because he knew that the main general of the cavalry was his confidant Yang Lukai on the surface, but actually Li Guodong! With Li Guodong's resourcefulness and bravery, how could he fall into the siege of the Qing army?
After thinking for a moment, Lu Xiangsheng shouted: "Hurry, let me go to Zhending to find Eunuch Gao, and let Eunuch Gao send troops to rescue him quickly!"
"No!" The messenger gave a gift.
Lu Xiangsheng immediately picked up his pen and wrote a letter to the messenger, asking him to send him to Zhending to find Gao Qiqian and asked Gao Qiqian to send troops to rescue him. Then Lu Xiangsheng stood up again and shouted loudly: "Tell me the order! The three armies can set off, be sure to rescue General Yang!"
"Supervisor, you must not!" Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei stepped forward and persuaded him, "Jiannu set up an ambush in Jiazhuang, just wait for our army to enter the encirclement!"
Lu Xiangsheng insisted on the railway: "Yang Lukai has been following me for many years, and I must not leave him alone! What's more, I have sent someone to ask for help from Eunuch Gao. With Eunuch Gao's Guanning Army behind, you will definitely be able to defeat the thief slaves! The soldiers obeyed the orders and set off immediately and rushed to Jiazhuang!"
