Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

At noon, the sun was shining.

Fifty miles away from the logistics camp of the Qing army, 5,000 soldiers were on standby, and Zhu Cihong held a clairvoyant mirror and looked into the distance.

Soon, he saw ten masked men galloping towards him.

"Back to Your Highness, within fifty miles, all the sentinels of the Qing army have been resolved. One

of them dismounted and got down on one knee.

"The order goes down and rests for a quarter of an hour.

Zhu Cihong turned his head to look at Lu Xiangsheng and said lightly: "You should drink, you should eat."

"Yes.

Lu Xiang ascended.

Soon, the herald mounted his horse and raised the command flag, and the horse shuttled through the crowd, this time instead of yelling, but signaling the whole army to rest and recuperate.

"Yang Zaixing.

Zhu Cihong picked up the kettle, took a sip, and handed it to Yang Zaixing.

"Your Highness.

Yang Zaixing took the kettle, and a smile flowed from his resolute face.

"Wait a minute, when we sweep the enemy camp, you carry the Wei army to the main gate, intercept the small Qing army that has returned to help, and if we have 5,000 people to fight quickly, we will send people to support you.

Zhu Cihong picked up another piece of baked cake and ate it, and the two walked to a big tree to shade, followed by Zhang Huaibin and others.

"Your Highness, isn't your purpose to ask the enemy army to give up the siege and return to help, why do you want to intercept the enemy army who has returned to help?"

"How does Your Highness know that it will be a small group of Qing troops who will come to the rescue?"

Yang Zaixing also took out a few cakes and ate them, but when he heard His Highness's words, he was a little puzzled.

"This palace will not underestimate the opponent, Yue Tuo is a battle-hardened general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, our purpose is not difficult to guess, although the Qing army is rampant, and even the sentinels only spread out for fifty miles, but this does not mean that they are all fools.

Zhu Cihong sat under the big tree, eating baked cakes while explaining: "Yue Tuo's 10,000 troops rest for a few days and set up camp, it is imperative to attack the city, even if the rear logistics are attacked, the other party will not transfer back all the main forces, after finding out the approximate number of our army, Yue Tuo is likely to only send a few thousand people back to help."

When Yang Zaixing heard this, he knew it in his heart, but he was puzzled by something, and he was interrupted just when he wanted to ask.

"You want to ask, why are there thousands of people?"

Zhu Cihong looked at Yang Zaixing's appearance and knew that he still didn't know the gap between the Qing army and the Ming army.

"Indeed, how can it be possible to hold our same five thousand people, or even drive them away, if only a few thousand people were transferred back.

Yang Zaixing's face showed a hint of doubt.

"Generally speaking, the 5,000 Ming army has little chance of winning against the 2,000 Qing army.

As soon as Zhu Cihong's words came out, Lu Xiangsheng, who had just come over, couldn't hold back his face, although he didn't want to admit it, but the fact is that the current Ming army was actually very afraid of the Qing army, especially in the wild.

"Therefore, you have to stop the thousands of people who have returned to help, we will solve the enemy defenders in the camp, we must burn all the enemy supplies, and second, force Yue Tuo's main force to return to reinforcements and give up the siege.

"As long as you stop the first wave of enemy troops returning to help, and the news reaches Yue Tuo's ears, he will inevitably call more reinforcements back, because the goods and grain and grass that have been looted for so many days are here, and he must come back."

"If the second reinforcement is still blocked, Yue Tuo's main force will come back, and this is our purpose.

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "And at this time, Gao Yi's army should have arrived."

"But General Yang has 500 people, how can he resist the thousands of Qing troops?" Lu

Xiangsheng wondered, if the regular army was in confrontation, he had never seen this kind of army.

Zhu Cihong glanced at Lu Xiangsheng and didn't explain, and Yang Zaixing just smiled lightly and didn't speak, some of the things he didn't say well, because he was also His Highness's general, and some words would hurt the other party too much.

"Zhang Huaibin.

Zhu Cihong stood up and said as he walked: "You eighteen rode to help Yang Zaixing." "

But let's go, then Your Highness, you ......

" Zhang Huaibin followed Zhu Cihong's side, and when he heard this, he said worriedly: "Let the subordinates stay, and the other seventeen people go."

"Okay. Zhu

Cihong thought about it, and it was approved, although his Xiang Yu's strength, but after all, the ability can still be fully released, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and the melee is blocked, in case of being beaten by the group, it is still very uncomfortable.

"The whole army is set off, the target, the logistics camp of the Qing army, you can burn, kill and loot!" Zhu

Cihong roared, put on his helmet, stepped on his war horse, and rushed out, followed by 5,000 soldiers.

Soon, I saw the logistics battalion of the Qing army, and it was really a lax defense, this look was not the elite of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, all of them were logistics auxiliaries, the combat power was not strong, and it was crazy without bounds, it was completely a posture that the Ming army did not dare to come.

Zhu Cihong looked at all this through the clairvoyant mirror, sneered, and waved his hand lightly.

"Kill!"

Lu Xiangsheng beside him comprehended the gods, immediately pulled out his sword, roared, and rushed out first.

"Kill

!" "Kill!"

Five thousand soldiers behind him followed closely behind, raising their weapons and rushing over, while Yang Zaixing took five hundred Beiwei troops and seventeen cavalry to the front of the Qing army camp, and after finishing the Qing army in front, he stayed inside.

Soon, the camp of the Qing army was full of shouting and shouting, and two groups of people fought together.

......

At this time, Yue Tuo was organizing the fourth siege.

"These Han people with the Han army banner are really useless, and three thousand people can't go up three times!" Yue

Tuo looked at Daxing City in front of him, his brows furrowed, this was the most difficult to break through since he entered the customs for so many days.

(In the original history, the Qing army entered the customs this time and broke through fifty-five cities, all of which were small county towns, and there were only three big cities, one of which was the capital of Jinan, which was the capital city of Shandong)

"These Han people of the Han Army Banner are all the Ming people we captured back, the men are in the army, and the women are slaves and maids, and they don't spend much time, and the food is to train them, and the combat power is naturally not as good as our Eight Banners." The

deputy general next to him smiled: "However, our Eight Banners disciples are more expensive, so it is naturally impossible to attack the city." (The whole process is Manchu, and it is sinicized by the author.)

"Report, the tens of thousands of troops of the Ming army have reached about ten miles to the right side of our army!" At

this moment, a Qing soldier walked in and reported the military information he was investigating.

"Take two thousand elite soldiers to harass the Ming army, delay the time, give the order, and immediately attack the city with all your might!"

Yue Tuo walked out of the camp tent, looked at the city in the distance, and sneered: "I don't have time to play slowly." "

As long as the city in front of him is broken, it is easy to say anything, and there is a way to retreat, he can divide the army into two ways, all the way into the city, all the way to entangle with the Ming army, as long as this Ming army is broken when it touches, then it will be okay, in case this Ming army is elite, it is a big deal to retreat into the city, you can play slowly.

But there is no case, even if this Ming army is elite, it is impossible for him to be the opponent of the elite of the Seven Thousand Eight Banners, but as the main general, he can't just consider one consequence, and there are always two roads.

"Order!"

Soon, the two generals stepped on their horses and galloped out, leading the two thousand Eight Banners elite all the way to the right side, leading the one thousand elite all the way to Daxing City, and cooperating with the remaining two thousand Han troops to attack the city.

Ten miles away, a Ming army flag fluttered in the wind.

Gao Yi rode his horse at the forefront, holding a clairglass in his hand, looking at the scouts galloping in the distance, he immediately gave an order: "The order goes down, the whole army stops, the bow and crossbow battalion step forward, and the shield soldiers step forward." As

soon as the order was given, the herald galloped out, and more than a dozen heralds, holding high the command flag, shuttled among the tens of thousands of troops.

In fact, tens of thousands of troops marched not densely packed with stations, but each branch of the army, and there was a very long gap between the camps, in order to facilitate the transmission of orders, and the formation and tactics could be adjusted at any time.

"The whole army stopped, the shield soldiers stepped forward, and the bow and crossbow battalion stepped forward!" "The last general got the order!"

Soon, the military order went down, and the five thousand shield soldiers immediately went out and ran forward, and then the soldiers of the five thousand gong bow and crossbow battalion

also followed closely behind.

In the formation of tens of thousands of troops, the sky was suddenly covered with dust, and at a glance, it was all a fog, and dense soldiers shuttled through the army, and since these two battalions were marching in front of the army, they had soon come to the front of the army.

"Report

!" "There is a team of thousands of Jiannu cavalry coming ahead!" "

The scout came to Gao Yi and immediately reported loudly.

"The shield soldiers are in front of the shield array, and the bow and crossbow battalion is interspersed in the shield array!" Gao

Yi immediately began to formulate tactics when he heard this, and when the army marched to this point, he had long thought that he would be discovered by the Qing army, so the scouts had already spread out, and once they found that the Qing army was approaching, they could meet the battle at any time.

"Lined up, divided into five rows, on both sides of the cavalry formation!" One

by one, the heralds frantically rushed to the military branch to give orders, and a group of soldiers immediately moved to the front, setting up shields, a row of 1,000 people, under five rows, the shields were on the ground and above their heads, and the bow and crossbow battalions stood side by side to help raise the shields.

After receiving the order, the three thousand and five thousand cavalry immediately rushed into the middle of the three formations and galloped in both directions, but instead of spreading, they stood behind the shield soldiers like a line.

As the three formations of cavalry were scattered on both sides, a large open space appeared behind Gao Yi.

"Command logistics, take the quiver and step forward

!" "The herald has an order

!" "The logistics quiver comes forward!"

"Logistics quiver come forward!"

one after another, layer upon layer.

In an instant, thousands of logistics soldiers rushed along the wide road in the middle, each carrying a big quiver in their hands.

......

On the other hand, the Qing army sent 1,000 elite soldiers of the Eight Banners to attack the city, which has arrived under the city of Daxing.

"Go to the

city!" "Shoot the arrows!" The

Qing army generals commanded the people of the Han army banner to go to the city, and this thousand elites were immediately below with bows and arrows, shooting those Ming troops who came out to defend the city.

"Hook

the lock!" At the sound of the order, there were suddenly one hundred and eight elite banners, raising the hook lock in their hands, and then threw it up the city with force, hooked the iron hook to the city wall, and then began to climb the wall.

Damn, the speed is not comparable to those Han army banners.

......

Another

rain of arrows flew up the city wall to cover the Qing army that was going up.

A few days ago, he received an order from His Royal Highness the Prince, desperately defending the city, and the 40,000 troops in the rear have arrived, if they dare to abandon the city, dare to surrender, and the city will be broken before the army arrives, and the nine clans will be punished immediately!

When they saw this order, others were frightened, but they thought that there were 40,000 troops behind, that is, they were not so afraid, but who knows, these 40,000 troops did not plan to enter the city at all, but went directly to the front to meet the Qing army outside.

"Lord Yang, we have already lost 4,000 people, if we go on like this, we must die, you have to think of a way!" The

deputy general saw that the elites of the eight banners below were dispatched, and he knew that the other party was really moving, and he was also anxious, if the city was broken, the hundreds of thousands of people in this city would probably be over.

"It's okay, His Royal Highness's reinforcements are outside, and then insist on holding on

!" Commander Yang was also sweating profusely, but the next moment, he saw a puff of wolf smoke floating from the rear of the Qing army, and his eyes instantly rejoiced, he knew that this was the signal of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

He roared and said, "Change all the spears and poke the fuck!" ......

On the other side, fifty miles away from the Qing army, the dive department was raised.

"Gao Gong, His Royal Highness has given a signal, what should we do, are we on or are we waiting to see?"

The general soldier next to him saw the wolf smoke floating in the distance, and knew that this was a signal for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ask them to attack, although he was the chief soldier, but Gao Qiqian was the emperor's cronies and supervisors, and basically this Guanning army was Gao Qi's potential commander.

"Look closer to the front, send scouts over to inquire about the situation, and act when the time comes.

Gao Qiqian looked ahead, he didn't see the wolf smoke, but he saw it and didn't plan to attack immediately, he could lead the Guanning army to defend the city for many years, without being broken, and he didn't eat anything to defeat the battle, just because he was obscene enough and knew how to act when he saw the opportunity.

I know what conditions can be fought and what conditions cannot be fought, the battlefield is changing rapidly, not to mention, the generals are outside, the military orders are not acceptable, what about the prince, what about the prison country, he is not the emperor yet

......

! "Report!"

Yue Tuo was holding a clairglass to watch the progress of the siege, thinking that he would be able to break the city quickly by sending the elite of the Eight Banners, but he didn't expect the other party to stick to the stubbornness, this is the first time he has seen it since entering the customs, is it the courage given by the tens of thousands of Ming troops that made them see hope?

"What's the matter?" But he didn't

think that the Ming army could be so powerful in field warfare, even if he only had seven thousand Manmeng elites and resisted tens of thousands of Ming troops, he was not afraid at all.

"The logistics camp was attacked by

the Ming army, and our army was seriously killed and wounded!" "What?" Yue Tuo finally had the first surprise on his face when he heard this, and then he hurriedly asked: "Why, did the Ming army go out and sneak attack after going around?"

"Why didn't you report it

!" He

looked at the messenger with a fierce look, such a big mistake, no one came to report it!"

It was not the Ming army that was separated, but another Ming army, which numbered only about four or five thousand people, but they were all extremely brave and should be an elite. The

messenger was startled and quickly explained.

"Elite fart

!" Yue Tuo shouted, and said: "Lao Tzu left only 3,000 logistics auxiliaries!" "Send 2,000

elite cavalry over immediately

!" "I will definitely be able to sweep away this small Ming army!"

......

Zhu Cihong stood on a high hill outside the camp of the Qing army, and looked at the battle situation with a clairvoyant mirror, not to mention, this group of logistics auxiliaries is still very weak, and Lu Xiangsheng's 5,000 soldiers are all veterans who have repeatedly fought with the peasant army, and their combat strength is naturally much stronger.

"Huh?"

The clairing mirror turned in the direction of the high submerge, only to find that it was empty, and it looked like there were reinforcements.

"It's been a long time since the signal was sent, and there was no movement at all.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhu Cihong's mouth.

"Dog thing, you have a kind!".
