Chapter 64 Fat Meat

On the sixth day of the first lunar month in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the weather still showed no sign of warming up. The whole Jingfu land showed a desolate scene because of the entry of the trolls. It is no longer a legend, but a reality. It is not surprising that you can't see a figure for half a day or even a day.

The area around Shundefu is also because of the arrival of a large number of officers and soldiers. In addition to some large castles and landlords, most of the villages are already empty.

In the south of Julu, the army's battalion seemed to be dead, and even the various flags and flags towering in the camp seemed to have been frozen. They were listless and looked lifeless. In this cold weather, it was rare to meet a few days without wind, but the temperature did not rise a little.

And the officers and soldiers in the camp also held their arms, with a depressed face, and chatted with each other in a word. I don't know when this day will end and when they can return to their station. There is no need to suffer this kind of sin in the wild.

When Gao Qisheng's subordinates came back from Zhangde Mansion, the 20,000 troops brought out were only a little more than 10,000. The rest were either killed or captured by the Xing Tianjun. Some of them simply took the opportunity to quit and turned into bandits on the spot. They gathered in the mountains and forests and no longer returned to the officers.

After Gao Qi came back, his temper became very tyrannical and he often lost his temper. These days, many inconsiderate officers and soldiers have touched his moldy head. In the name of disobeying the military order, he was beaten to death or his head was cut off, which made the people of the officers and soldiers panic, and their morale was much lower.

Judging from the news from the fact that the news was not received back at night, the Ttar seemed to have signs of continuing to enter the south to enter the territory of Daming Mansion, but Gao Qiqian was not interested in this news. At present, what he is most concerned about is how to deal with such a crisis, so that he can get rid of his current charges.

So while he continued to send his cronies back to Beijing to move everywhere, he wrote the old sayings to the emperor, shirked his responsibility as much as possible, and shifted the responsibility to the generals under his command as much as possible, saying that their unfavorable battle caused this defeat.

At the same time, he also wants to take the last opportunity to make some credit and turn the plate over, so that he has to win a battle.

However, who should be beaten, but he was very hesitant to fight the charlats. He was afraid in his heart. He was also afraid to fight Xing Tianjun. If he didn't fight, he would not fight. After he became the military director this time, it can basically be said that he had not made any achievements, and he had lost a lot of people and horses. There must be no good fruit to eat when he went back.

Just as Gao Qi dive was twirling around in the camp like ants on a hot pot, a news came one night, saying that it was found that the people and horses of the Xingtian Army Brigade were marching in the direction of Qiu County. It seemed that they were going to rush to Qiu County to find the tars to play against them.

After thinking about it over and over again, he felt that this might be his last chance. This time, he could take advantage of Xing Tianjun to fight against the tartars, and also wave his division to rush over and take the opportunity to get a handful. As for who will fight at that time, who will lose the battle, he will take the opportunity to beat the falling dog and take advantage of the opportunity to get a handful of military achievements. In this way, At least part of his blame for his great defeat in Zhanghe can be offset.

So Gao Qiqian immediately cheered up. The generals and generals were recruited into the big account. After a lot of coercion and lure, he ordered the army to rise up and start to march in the direction of Qiu County. At the same time, he sent a large number of night to inquire about the military situation for him to make a decision.

Although the officers and soldiers pulled out the camp and started the camp, the officers and soldiers did not figure out who they were going to fight with this time. They just followed confusedly. Everyone was confused, so naturally there was no morale.

As for the sentry horsemen on the side of the Taar, they also detected a cavalry of the Xingtian Army, who were walking in the direction of Qiu County, but unlike in the past, this time they found that the cavalry of the Xingtian Army did not act with their main force as usual, but went a long way forward and pulled between the main force. It took a long distance.

Through this period of research and judgment, Dorcon and other Qing generals have realized the source of the combat effectiveness of the Xingtian Army, that is, the absolute main force of the Xingtian Army on the battlefield. It should be their marching army, not their cavalry. The most difficult thing for the Xingtian Army to deal with is their marching array, dense fire, such as Lin's long gun, with the long and short cooperation, can be attacked, close and can be defended from afar. At the same time, it also has the ability to move on the battlefield. Such a step is really difficult to deal with. With the current combat method of the Qing army, it is difficult to fight head-on with it unless it has the absolute advantage of a long-range Hongyi cannon.

So they don't want to waste too much troops on the Xingtian Army. During this period, they have adopted the method of avoiding war, avoiding the Xingtian Army as much as possible, and not having a large-scale battle with the Xingtian Army. In this way, they were suppressed during this period, and they had to break the operation in the Jingfu area. The force gradually came to the area of Qiu County, and Yue Tuo had led the Zhenghong flag and the inlaid red flag in the direction of Shandong, while Dorgan was ready to continue to go south, wash around Damingfu, and then basically return.

But when he learned that a cavalry of about 2,000 people of the Xingtian Army was coming towards them, both Dorgom and the generals of his subordinates felt a light.

"This criminal thief doesn't pay much attention to us! We tolerated them so much, but they were still insatiable and sent someone to catch up with them again! If we don't clean them up hard, where will we put our faces in the future? This time, it's not too late to kill the cavalry of the Xingtian thief first, and then go south to Damingfu! Anyway, what is powerful is their pawns, and the cavalry is just ordinary!" Dorcon's brother Dodo said to Dork with an angry face.

And Duoduo's words also resonated with many other Tahralty generals. They asked Dornon to fight one after another, demanding that this group of cavalry of the Xingtian Army be eliminated first, and then it was not too late to go south to Damingfu.

Dorcon was still relatively calm. After thinking about it carefully, he said, "Xing Tian Thief's action this time is a little abnormal. Their coach should be very clear in his heart. Where is their strength? It is not advantageous to deal with us with their cavalry. Why did he send such a cavalry away from him? Our main force, what about running to death?

Naturally, others can't figure out Dorcon's doubts, but the news from the sentinel let them confirm that this Xingtian army cavalry is indeed out of their main force, and the lonely army is killing towards Qiu County.

"Could it be that Xiao was afraid that we would go south to wash and plunder the famous mansion before they came, so he sent their cavalry to delay us first? Waiting for their main force to come?" Duoduo said to Dorcon after thinking about it.

"It's possible!" After listening to this, Dolgo nodded slightly and said yes, at this time, even his heart began to warm up a little.

After all, for so many years, they have basically fought against the Ming army and won many times. However, after meeting Xing Tianjun this time, they fought more and more aggrievedly and have to go around Xing Tianjun. This kind of thing is difficult for each of them to accept. Dorgon also knows that it will be big if it goes on. It affects their morale, and once their morale is low, whether they can return safely or not will become a problem.

Therefore, in the matter of dealing with Xing Tianjun, they also urgently need a victory to cheer up the army. Now Xing Tianjun has sent such a cavalry to advance alone, which can be said to be a great opportunity for them to repair this group of Xing Tianjun, and let them know that their state-building warriors are not to be bullied!

So after the discussion, Dorcon finally made up his mind to temporarily put down his plan to go south to the Daming Mansion and go all out to kill this group of Xingtian army cavalry first. As long as he takes down this group of Xingtian thieves, these Xingtian thieves will not dare to be so arrogant in the future.

A set of white flag, inlaid white flag, inlaid blue flag and other eight flags, as well as some Mongolian soldiers of the eight Mongolian flags began to move one after another, facing the direction of the Xingtian army cavalry.

On the morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month, Situ Liang suddenly ordered to stop moving forward. He rode on the horse and took out a telescope to look east and around, and then ordered Lin Luo to come to discuss the matter.

Lin Luo also led the scout brigade to act with Situ Liang this time, acting as Situ Liang's deputy. When he learned that Situ Liang was looking for him, he immediately rushed up.

"Brother Lin, the darman has been welcomed! Do you have any news about the scout brothers over there? Situ Liang asked Lin Luo.

"There it is! Gao Qiqian was really fooled. He took advantage of the opportunity we came here to pull up the camp in the south of Julu and rushed over. Li Shenyi guessed it well. At this time, the castration was going to jump over the wall in a hurry! I want to take the opportunity to get a hand! Last night, the brothers under the command of the humble position sent back the news that they have now traveled more than 20 miles away from us and have stopped, as if they want to wait and see the limelight!" Lin Luo reported to Situ Liang.

Situ's bright spot nodded with a treacherous smile, and said with a smile, "Li Shen's expectation is still quite accurate. After all, he is a scholar. This is more than us! By the way, how's the situation with the Tah?

Lin Luo also laughed and said, "If the darlins really regard us as a piece of fat meat, Dorcon has gathered the vest soldiers of the flags under his control, and the soldiers are coming towards us in four directions! If you don't go further, it's time to meet them! It's time for us to turn around here!"

After listening to it, Situ Liang nodded first, and then shook his head and said, "No, we can't turn around now!" The soldiers haven't gathered around yet. If we turn around and run now, they may not catch up if they can't do it well. If we can't do it well, we will be blind this time! Wait a minute! Pass the order, everyone get off the horse and let the horses have a good rest! We'll rely on them later!"
