Chapter 503 The Battle of Haoshui Bridge (1)
Li Guodong knew that Lu Xiangsheng belonged to the Donglin Party, so he naturally hated the eunuch party and blamed all the responsibility on the eunuch party. In front of Lu Xiangsheng, he definitely could not say that the Donglin Party was not good, so he followed Lu Xiangsheng's words and said: "The eunuch party is indeed abominable. He greedy for money and nepotism, which led to the deterioration of the situation. But if the factory guards restrained them and found corrupt officials, wouldn't it be possible to eradicate the remnants of the eunuch party as soon as possible? A bright world in the world?"
In fact, there are also many upright good people in the Donglin Party, such as Zuo Guangdou is an upright person; and Zou Yuanbiao, one of the three kings of Donglin, is a person who is both upright and poor. Zou Yuanbiao was an official for 43 years, and his family was barely barred and his houses lived in dilapidated. The most commendable thing is that after Zhang Juzheng's death, Emperor Wanli, who was suppressed by Zhang Juzheng for ten years, recklessly settled Zhang Juzheng's home. Zhang Juzheng's family was confiscated, and his family members were exiled or forced to do so.
Even Zhang Juzheng, whose corpse was not cold, was almost whipped by whipping the corpse. At that time, Zhang Juzheng trusted and promoted ministers, such as Zhang Siwei, Ding Zhu Lu and others, used all the best to kill Zhang Juzheng. However, Zou Yuanbiao, who had offended Zhang Juzheng, was cut off and exiled to Guizhou, turned to help Zhang Juzheng's new policy, which led to being demoted to Nanjing by Emperor Wanli. After Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao succeeded to the throne, Zou Yuanbiao rehabilitated Zhang Juzheng.
What's more, Lu Xiangsheng is also from the Donglin Party, so he cannot beat the Donglin Party to death with one blow.
Lu Xiangsheng thought for a moment and slowly spoke: "This is true, but if the factory guards are restored, they will inevitably be controlled by the eunuch party."
"Then why doesn't the Donglin Party control the Jinyiwei?"
"Hmph!" Lu Xiangsheng snorted coldly, "What the Jinyiwei does is what despicable villains say! We scholars don't want to do such despicable and dirty things!"
"Although it is despicable, Master Lu, the evil people still need to be beaten by the evil people. To deal with those despicable villains, one still needs to be despicable villains. A righteous person cannot deal with the despicable villains."
"I don't believe it anymore! The positive energy cannot suppress the evil energy?"
Li Guodong said: "Shameless people are thick-skinned, and only those who do dirty things behind their backs can deal with them. Supervisor Lu, maybe you can understand the words of Mo Jiang in the future."
Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a long time before saying, "Nephew Guodong, maybe what you said makes sense, but I can't agree with it. But let's talk about those things later. Let's think about how to defeat the enemy first."
"The Jiannu is powerful, but the last general has a plan to defeat the enemy," Li Guodong lowered his voice and whispered in Lu Xiangsheng's ear, "The last general will make people dig out the tunnel and go straight to the Jiannu camp. As long as we can block the Jiannu's attack on ten days, we will be able to defeat Jiannu in one fell swoop when the tunnel is completed."
"A clever plan!" Lu Xiangsheng was overjoyed.
The sky gradually became brighter. Li Guodong, who had not been asleep all night, walked up to the platform and picked up a thousand-mile mirror to observe the Qing army camp. After a night of construction, the Qing army had already arranged a continuous camp, with a circle of wooden fences on the outside, and in the middle was the Qing army tents that could not be seen at all, and various flags were flying. At the gate of the Qing army camp, various vehicles were placed, followed by various artillery from the Han army flag Wuzhenchaoha camp.
Groups of auxiliary soldiers composed of Baoyi Aha went out of the camp and went to the Haoshui River to fetch water and cook. A bunch of bonfires were lit in the Qing army camp, and a large pot was placed on the fire.
In the camp of the Ming army in Jiazhuang, the leading soldiers also got up and started to make fires and cook. The water source of the Ming army was not a problem. Li Guodong, who had prepared a lot of water wells in Jiazhuang. In fact, these water wells are all multi-purpose water wells, both water sources and tunnel entrances! Almost every well has an entrance to the well wall. Once the Qing army invades the village, the Ming army can drill out from the entrances and exits of the tunnels at any time and attack the Qing army from behind.
Another purpose is to set up at the tunnel entrance in the well, which is that once the Qing army discovers that there is a tunnel in the village and when water is released to irrigate the tunnel, the water poured into the tunnel can be introduced into the well.
It was dawn and the Qing army began to attack. The sound of the trumpets of the Qing army camp sounded, and the crowds of people from each battalion came out of the camp gate, and finally formed a dense and ventilated area. On the distant horizon, from three directions, the people of the Ming Dynasty who were newly incorporated into the Baoyi in the Qing army pushed the shield chariot, followed by the old Baoyi holding a steel knife, and behind it was the Han army flag Wuzhenchaoha soldiers holding a bird gun and pushing the Folang machine cannon chariot, holding a shield and carrying a long spear, mixed with the hand-to-hand combat soldiers of the Han eight flags carrying a spear. The Mongolian riding horse archers followed closely behind, and the Korqin Mongolians would ride horses and raid the Ming army with bows and arrows.
At the end, the most elite troops of the Qing army were the heavy armored soldiers of the Eight Banners. They were both light cavalry and excellent heavy infantry. They rode Mongolian horses on weekdays, dismounted during battles, and formed a formation to advance.
The real heavy cavalry of the Manchu Eight Banners was on both wings, which were elite heavy cavalry riding the Wuzhumuqin horse and the Jinzhou horse, with both men and horses wearing thick armor. Compared with heavy infantry, heavy cavalry had horse armor, heavy infantry did not have horse armor, and only people had thick armor. Of course, after the heavy cavalry of the Qing army dismounted, they were also excellent heavy infantry, and hand-to-hand combat and archery could not be inferior to heavy infantry at all.
This day was the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month of the eleventh year of Chongzhen. The sun was bright and the weather was good, but the wind was obviously stronger than yesterday. The cold wind whistled from time to time, blowing the flags and clothes.
Dorgon rode a white horse and stood under the golden dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty. Alongside was the golden dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty ordered by the general, symbolizing Dorgon's banner.
Looking at the majestic Qing Tianjun launched an offensive, Dorgon was full of confidence. At this moment, he suddenly felt something was wrong, because he seemed to see a familiar figure behind the Ming army's defense line: Li Laoer! Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there was probably only one Li Laoer who could show it! Dorgon recalled his many battles with Li Guodong, and was defeated repeatedly, and every time he was his defeated general. But this thought flashed by, and he felt relieved: Didn't Li Laoer go to Jinan? Could it be that he had the clone technique? At most, this person taught the art of defending the city to Lu Xiangsheng and Xuan Dajun.
"Hmph!" Dorgon snorted coldly, "As long as Li Lao Er is not here, what's the use of Xuan Dajun even if he learned the art of defending the city?"
Several Bayalas around him were shocked: "What? Li Lao Er? He is here?"
After all, the name Li Guodong brought too much shock to the Qing army. Since the Later Jin Dynasty, every time I met this person, the Eight Banners Warriors who were good at fighting would suffer a great loss. This name has become a nightmare of the Qing Dynasty. If you dream of this person in your sleep, you will be scared to death.
Dorgon's face turned stern and shouted: "What are you calling? Li Laoer went to Jinan! How could he appear here?"
Li Guodong still did not show his own banner. Although he had already changed into Mingguang armor, he did not show off the banner of Jinyang Army and temporarily used the banner of Tianxiong Army. The Qing army thought that Li Guodong had gone to Jinan, and no one knew that he would actually wait for him in Julu.
The Qing army, which launched the attack from both wings, was getting closer and closer to the trench, but the Ming army stationed in the sandbag fort did not fire, but was very calm and just waited for the Qing army to get closer.
