In August, on both sides of the Grand Canal, the cool breeze, the climate is pleasant, and the autumn is strong, which is really not a good time to fight.In this harvest season, you should rent a boat, sail on rivers and lakes, find old friends, enjoy the scenery of lakes and mountains, or gallop on horseback, fish and hunt, eat and drink.Before the Qing army went south, the daily life of Jiangnan people in autumn at this time was also a lot of yearning.At this time, Zhao Ming and the 26,000 Ming army did not have the leisure to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the strait, but always paid attention to the movements of the surrounding Qing army.The radius of Changzhou Mansion is only 100 miles, with the arrival of Mandahai troops, most of the Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River gathered here, and the Qing army has the advantage of cavalry, Donghai Town is equivalent to marching under the nose of the Qing army, and may suffer a surprise attack at any time.At this time, Zhao Ming walked in front of the generals, he was dressed in silver mountain pattern armor, under the sunlight, flashing with bursts of silver light, a red feather on the phoenix wing helmet was two feet long, vibrating slightly with the wind, and he was wearing a striking red cloak behind him, riding a miscellaneous horse, the whole army was the most eye-catching.Beside Zhao Ming, Li Zhongming, Xie Qian, Ruan Mei, Yu Guowang and other generals were also neatly draped, with swords and spears, and they were majestic.The 26,000 Ming troops marched along the canal, and the naval warships rowed out the waves in the canal, the gun windows on the side of the ship were opened, and the artillery was launched, which was in a state of firing at any time.On the shore, the vans were on the periphery of the army, connected in a line, creaking forward, protecting a large number of Ming army musketeers wearing red armor and wide-brimmed saucer helmets.In the ranks of the Ming army, a military flag stood in the array, the helmet was moving, and the flintlock gun on the shoulder continued to rise and fall with the footsteps of the soldiers.Last year, there were only 30,000 soldiers in Donghai Town, which was later expanded to 80,000, and 50,000 new soldiers joined, so that the old soldiers of each battalion were diluted, but the Shence Chinese Army, as a protector under the direct control of Zhao Ming, retained a large number of old soldiers.Among the 20,000 people, seventy percent are old soldiers, who are the most elite men and horses in Donghai Town, and the soldiers and equipment are crowned with the other four armies, but at this time, the march, the huge pressure, still makes the neatly armed Ming soldiers, no one is noisy, only the sound of clothes and armor rubbing and footsteps, the atmosphere is very solemn."
Dashuai, after Geng Jimao's fight for a while, he wanted to stop us at first, but now he is following us, what is his plan?"
Li Zhongming asked with a gloomy face.Zhao Ming's face was not shocked, he couldn't see any expression, and said coldly: "That guy should have received an order, and this commander expects that the main force of the Qing army should have advanced eastward, and will appear in front of us soon!"
”Li Zhongming took a breath, "What the handsome means is that Man Dahai wants to encircle and suppress us first!"
”Zhao Ming nodded, "If the Qing army continues to attack Wujin, it will inevitably send troops to prevent Ben Shuai from approaching Wujin, now Geng Jimao is not harassing in front, but getting out of the way and letting us approach Wujin, Man Dahai must want to let Ben Shuai go deep alone, and then choose one place to encircle and annihilate." ”After speaking, Zhao Ming glanced at everyone and smiled: "What, are you afraid?"
”Li Zhongming and the others were indeed a little melancholy in their hearts, but it can be seen that Zhao Ming was full of confidence, so he also calmed down, and immediately clenched his fists, "I'm afraid of an egg," "Report!"
Marshal, tens of thousands of Qing troops were found ahead, less than fifteen miles away!
”Suddenly, the sentry rode against the marching procession, galloped forward, and gave a loud report.The advancing Ming soldiers, when they heard the report, were all in their hearts, and they couldn't help but clench their weapons and touch the gunpowder bottles and grenades on their bodies.When the soldiers heard this, they were shocked, and the Qing army really came."
Marshal, Mandahai really wants to destroy us first, the Qing army has a lot of soldiers, will our army line up immediately!"
Xie Qian asked urgently.Zhao Ming shook his head, waved his hand and shouted, "Continue to advance towards Wujin!"
In order to make Man Dahai lose the idea of defeating Ben Shuai and withdraw from the siege of Wujin, Ben Shuai must maintain a strong posture and not lose his momentum before he starts. ”When Li Zhongming and the others heard this, they shook their spirits and waved their hands to order, "Keep going!"
”The 30,000 Ming army continued to advance slowly towards Wujin, and the scouts continued to report information about the Qing army, informing them of the distance between the two armies.On the wilderness, tens of thousands of Qing cavalry galloped on horseback, the momentum was overwhelming, and Mandahai was in the crowd of cavalry, and he only felt that no one could stop his cavalry.At this time, with the scouts of the Qing army and the discovery of the Ming army marching westward, the cavalry of the Qing army began to reduce the speed of their horses, recover their horsepower, and were ready to wait for the next battle, and the war horses could have enough physical strength.At this time, the scouts of the Qing army came to report, "Lord Wang, Haikou and our army are fifteen miles apart, and they have not stopped the following formation. ”Not long after, another scout came to report, "Lord Wang, Haikou and our army are ten miles away, and they are still advancing westward. ”Under the banner of Daxu, Mandahai rode in the middle, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming left and right, the three kings of the Manchu Qing Dynasty came to deal with a Ming Dynasty general, it can be said that after entering the customs, it is unprecedented, and now the three kings are coming with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and Zhao Zamao on the opposite side should have already received the news, and he actually kept going down, and he was still moving forward, which was simply no one in his eyes.Geng Zhongming listened to the scout's report, and his teeth itched with hatred, "Rampant, this Zhao Zamao is too arrogant!"
”Man Dahai also had a gloomy face, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said coldly: "This king wants to see if Zhao Zamao dares not to form a formation, and he will fight in the field of this king!"
”Both armies were moving forward, and the distance was getting closer quickly, and after a while, the scout came galloping on horseback again, with a happy face, and said in surprise: "Lord Qiqi, Zhao Zamao has finally formed a formation!"
”"Humph!"
Man Dahai sneered, and immediately waved his hand, "Order the whole army, accelerate forward!"
”On the side of the canal, when the Qing army was seven or eight miles away, Zhao Ming finally ordered the army to form a formation on the spot.For a time, the Ming soldiers and soldiers arranged the formation in an orderly manner, and the mules and horses were pinned down into the formation, and the van car.Gun carriage.Rushing the car according to the periphery, connected into a line, two wooden walls inside and outside, the Ming soldiers took out the horse rejection stakes from the vehicles, arranged them outside the wooden walls, and the Ming soldiers who carried cloth bags on their backs scattered a large number of thistles in front of the military formation.When the Ming army was marching, it had already marched forward according to the pre-set position, so it could form a formation at any time when it encountered an enemy army.In a moment, the Ming soldiers lined up against the river, Zhao Ming was in the middle of the army, and the soldiers were waiting for the battle.The wind shouted, blowing the military flag hunting, Zhao Ming stood under the battle flag, looking at the west with a cold expression, and after a while, he saw the Qing army coming from the field.The cavalry of the Qing army galloped, and the flags gathered in one place, like a colorful carpet covering the earth, and the soldiers of the Ming army were not shocked and exclaimed, "The red flag of Manchuria is coming!"
”"The Manchurian Red Flag has also arrived!""
That's the Han Army's Red Flag!""
The Han army is yellow flag!""
