Chapter 228: Surround Mandahai


In front of the vast Jiaolai Plain, a snow-covered mountain range rises from the ground and spreads horizontally in front of the Qing army that has come from the wilderness.The cold wind shouted, like a bone scraper, cutting people's faces painfully.When the Qing army on the South Road advanced to the foot of Daze Mountain, a forest of spears with interlaced teeth was like a fierce beast opening its mouth, and it had been waiting for a long time.Man Dahai rode over a hill, Le Ma stood at the top, the Qing army around him was like mercury overflowing the earth, and continued to advance forward, the cavalry pressed the position a mile away from the spear forest, the infantry seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, the forward stopped, and the people behind gathered more and more, and quickly formed a formation.At this time, Man Dahai took out a clairvoyant mirror to observe the crowd at the foot of the mountain, and an army of nearly 10,000 people lined up in a horizontal formation along the mountain range.On the left and right flanks, there were bandits in different costumes, a soldier and horse in the middle, spears in front, and a large number of musketeers in the rear, who were staring at the approaching Qing army with cold eyes.On the top of the hill, the generals of the Qing army who turned over were stationed beside Mandahai, and glanced at the Ming army blocking in front of them, and everyone showed disdain.The scouts reported that it was only Zhao Zamao's partial division that was blocked, plus some bandits, they took a casual look, and saw the bandits on both wings, wearing tattered jackets, holding dung forks and flat poles, shivering by the cold wind, and they all looked disdainful.Zhao Zamao is okay, but with these local chickens and dogs, he also wants to block the Qing soldiers, so he thinks too much."

Just these bandits, it doesn't take half an hour to kill them without leaving a single piece of armor!"

Qing general Tong Yangjia said with a smile.All the Qing generals were also quite confident, back then, the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers, a few hundred people could fight thousands of bandits, thousands of officers and soldiers could chase tens of thousands of bandits, and the Qing soldiers dealt with these bandits, let alone a problem.The old thieves who had accumulated for many years, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were chased to death by the Qing soldiers, and everyone was very interested, looking at the bandits in front of them, and a few of them were still blocked.Man Dahai took the clairvoyant mirror and looked into the distance, the circular horizon swept from left to right, the camera returned to the body of the elite Ming Army in the middle, and then raised the clairvoyant mirror to look behind, only to see the dense crowd behind, a big flag is particularly eye-catching.Man Dahai looked at it, and after carefully identifying it, his face changed immediately, and he suddenly reprimanded: "Shut up!"

Be quiet!

”"Lord Belle, what's the matter?"

Seeing this, Sun Zhiqi couldn't help asking.Man Dahai stared at the big flag with complicated eyes, embroidered with four big characters "Pingyu Hou Zhao", and a string of small characters next to it, which should be some official positions that indicate their identity, and they can't be seen clearly from too far.Man Dahai frowned, pointed his finger in the direction, and said in a deep voice: "It seems to be Zhao Zamao!"

”Many Qing generals were in an uproar in an instant, and their hearts were shocked, how did Zhao Zamao come here?

Isn't he supposed to be in Qingzhou?

Even if it's not in Qingzhou, this guy should be running to Dengzhou, why shouldn't he be here.The reaction of the generals behind him made Man Dahai very angry, and he glared back at everyone, and many Qing generals hurriedly shut up.At this time, Man Dahai picked up the clairing mirror again, looked at the banner of Daxu, and sure enough, he saw a general riding a miscellaneous horse, riding proudly on horseback, holding a terrifying mace in his hand, who is it not Zhao Tieba?

The miscellaneous horses and maces are all together, and the identity of the Ming army on the opposite side has been determined, not a partial division, but Zhao Zamao himself.Man Dahai put down the clairvoyant mirror, first glanced at the front army in front of him, then turned his head to look, and the people and horses who arrived behind him one after another, and suddenly sneered: "Ben Beile chased from Huai'an to Shandong, the purpose is to catch up with Zhao Zamao, and then destroy it in a battle."

When this guy saw Ben Baylor, he didn't run, but took the initiative to come, which was like death. ”Hearing this, the generals behind him also reacted, "That's right!

Lao Tzu is here to chase Zhao Zamao, and now they have caught up, I'm afraid of a hair!

”That Zhao Zamao is relying on a sea boat and can dominate on the water, but now that he is on the shore, how can the field Qing army be afraid of him.Many Qing soldiers wanted to understand, and their expressions immediately relaxed again.Man Dahai couldn't guess why Zhao Ming appeared here, but since he was looking for death and wanted to fight with the Qing army, he couldn't ask for it.At this time, Man Dahai raised his horsewhip and was about to start mobilizing troops to defeat Zhao Zamao, and he was ashamed to relieve the hatred in his heart, but he saw several horses rushing to him, and hurriedly reported: "Lord Belle, tens of thousands of bandits have appeared in the west, and they are coming here!"

”Man Dahai was shocked, and snorted coldly, "It turns out that I have been prepared!"

”At that moment, Man Dahai did not hesitate, ordered the scouts to continue to investigate, and at the same time hurriedly ordered the army to quickly line up, preparing to meet the enemy.The 15,000 Qing troops, all veterans who had been in battle for a long time, saw the Chinese army order flag waving, and the army quickly changed from a marching army to a battle formation.Man Dahai led the generals to live in the middle army, in the command core of the army, 10,000 cavalry, 5,000 foot soldiers pressed the head of the camp, set up a good position, the car sparkling horses Xiao Xiao, the north wind howled in the silence, only the sound of war horses plucking the ground and snorting, the battlefield was instantly murderous.The cold wind shouted, blowing the military flag and hunting, Mandahai stood under the banner of Daxu and issued the first military order, "The right wing horse army transfers 2,000 people to the left flank!"

”The flag of the Chinese army waved, and the cavalry on the right flank immediately moved to the left flank, apparently to guard against the thief army pressing from the west.The horse army galloped, and the snow in the Central Plains was not as good as the goose feather snow outside the gate, and the thickness was only less than the calf position of the war horse, which did not have much impact on the cavalry of the Qing army.Man Dahai watched the cavalry gallop, and then looked up at the Ming army banner in front of him, showing a fierce face.Come and put it!

Zhao Zamao has used all your means, and Ben Baylor will compete with you today to see how much skill you have."

Order the left flank, once the enemy from the west arrives, while it has not yet formed a formation, the horse army will attack, crush them, and don't let the bandits crash into the army formation!"

Seeing that the army formation had been formed, Man Dahai felt a great increase in his confidence, and gave an order loudly.At this moment, another team of scouts galloped over and hurriedly reported: "Report!

Lord Belle, bandits have been found in the east, coming from all over the wilderness, uncountable!

”Man Dahai and the others were stunned, turned their heads to look, and sure enough, they saw countless black spots on the snow-white hills in the east, advancing towards the battlefield all over the mountains.Zhao Ming opened a warehouse to release grain, and even transported the materials from Haizhou and Kaishan Island to Shandong.The Qing army looked around, only to see their own scouts pulling their horses and running back, and behind the Qing army scouts, the rebels all over the field, wearing various colors of armor and cotton jackets, holding spears, war knives, wooden sticks, dung forks, hoes, rushed to the battlefield, as if to pounce on a carpet on the hills, a black and dark one, the momentum is extremely terrifying, and people feel shocked.Man Dahai looked at it, and there was a crowd of human heads, undulating weapons, and his heart was also surprised, could it be that Zhao Zamao mobilized the people of Denglai?

When he was suspicious, he heard his subordinates exclaim, "It's not good, it's coming later!"

”Man Dahai looked back suddenly, and sure enough, there were also black spots moving on the snow behind him, and there were also many people.In an instant, Man Dahai finally changed color again, and a sense of foreboding was born in his heart, and he felt surrounded.In the Qing army, the soldiers found that they were surrounded on all sides, and they were also panicked and commotioned.
