Chapter 295
In the dark night, Zhao Ming rode a horse and ran around, and nearly 10,000 soldiers behind him ran wildly.
The Ming soldiers really didn't expect that less than 10,000 people could chase 30,000 or 40,000 Qing troops, which was really exciting.
"Governor, the Qingdog Rear Team was found in front of you!" The scout rushed over and immediately reported with his fists.
Without the need for scouts to report, Zhao Ming and his group could already see the flashing flames in the distance and hear the rumbling sound of cannons.
The torch whirred under the night wind, illuminating the excited and excited faces.
"Governor, what should I do?" The Dynasty first pulled the reins of the horse and controlled the war horse.
Zhao Ming narrowed his eyes and said, "Ding Weiyue, Wang Chaoxian, you will take the horse army and rush for me while the night is dark, disrupting the Qing army, and the rest will follow me!"
Ding Weiyue and Wang Chao first heard the words, clasped their fists on the horse, then pulled the reins and clamped the horse's belly, "Hold!"
The war horses galloped forward, and nearly a thousand horses rushed forward, and the soldiers disappeared into the darkness.
Zhao Ming raised the mace high and roared loudly, "Follow our governor to rush!"
After speaking, Zhao Ming pulled out his horse and walked forward. The spearmen and musketeers behind him followed the running, looking at the direction where the flames flashed in front of him.
In the dark night, he was suddenly attacked. Duoduo did not dare to move around. He contracted the main force into a formation. Seeing the sound of killing in front of him, there was also a riot in the rear. The flames of gunfire flashed from time to time and bursts of explosions came.
On the hill, under the flag of the big crow, Qing soldiers stood in hand holding torches. Duoduo stood on the mountain with a gloomy face. A group of Qing generals gathered around him, with panic on his face.
At this time, the Qing general Bayan pointed to the south and suddenly exclaimed, "No, there are also barbarians in the south!"
Everyone looked over and saw a large torch appearing in the south, moving forward quickly.
At this time, a scout rolled up and climbed up to the top of the mountain and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, there are a large number of barbarians coming to the south."
The Qing generals were a little panicked when they heard the sound and were upset, "What should I do?"
But Duoduo frowned and suddenly shouted angrily: "What are you panic!"
Duoduo got angry, and everyone immediately calmed down, lowered their hands and didn't dare to speak, but they were still very melancholy in their hearts.
Duoduo calmly glanced at everyone and said in a cold voice: "The barbarians have 70,000 people, and I still have 40,000 elites. Zhao Zamao has such a big appetite to eat me?"
Although he was attacked, Duoduo was not panicked. He was not convinced that the Ming army could eat him.
He had nearly 100,000 troops, but he did not defeat the 50,000 Zhejiang troops who were defending, and less than 70,000 barbarians, so he could not defeat his 40,000 elite troops.
After hearing Duoduo's words, many Qing soldiers realized that they were right, we still had nearly 40,000 elite soldiers. No matter how good Zhao Zamao's teeth were, he would have to break his teeth if he wanted to eat us.
"What the prince said is that the barbarian thought we were from Niba." Bayan said angrily.
Seeing this, Duoduo glanced at the generals with a cold look and said coldly: "Each army guards its own formation, and those who shake the morale of the army will be killed!"
Under the hill, Duoduo's guards quickly gathered over and surrounded the hills. The Qing army had three layers inside and three layers outside, with shield hands outside, protecting bird gunners, archers, and spearmen poking out from inside, stabbing the spear diagonally, and the cavalry were also surrounded.
In the distance, Zhao Ming rushed up a high slope and overlooked the battlefield. Within a radius of more than ten miles, the sound of killing shook the sky and the light of fire was everywhere.
In the northwest, Zheng Hongkui's army was fighting with the Qing army's vanguard. Countless torches were coming from the south, probably by boat. Li Yuanyin who was ashore from the south, and the Ming army in Donghai Town in the east were attacking Duoduo's rear formation.
At this time, there were wailings on the battlefield, and the sound of killing sounds were everywhere. The Eight Banners soldiers were still calm. The Green Camp soldiers and the Zheng army were disorganized, and they ran around like headless flies. Not only did they even turn against each other, causing chaos in the Qing army.
However, Zhao Ming soon discovered that the chaos was only the periphery, and the core of the Qing army was still stable. The cavalry in Donghai Town wanted to rush in and disrupt the Qing army's formation. After several attempts, they were shot back by the Qing army's muskets and bows.
The Qing army had been through a long battle formation and had a plan to be prepared for night attacks.
At this time, the Qing army units held their own positions, shot and killed running personnel, and stood firm to avoid chaos.
The Eight Banners soldiers passed military orders with horns and gongs, and shot arrows to kill all the approaching Ming troops and the running Qing troops. They immediately stabilized their formation and avoided the danger of being disturbed by the Ming troops in the few groups and disrupting a large group of troops.
On the hillside, Zhao Ming looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but swell his cheeks, saying to the left and right: "Duoduo, this Tartar, really has some skills. He was attacked from multiple sides and was still not confused."
At this time, the two generals suddenly rushed up the hillside, but Wang Chaoxian and Ding Weiyue, who were rushing to the cavalry, retreated.
"Governor, Qing Gou's defense is very strict. He will not be able to rush them, but will lose many brothers." Wang Chaoxian said annoyed.
Zhao Ming said calmly: "Cavals retreat first!"
"Governor, the Tartars are not in chaos, what should I do now?" Ding Weiyue asked.
Zhao Ming looked at the Qing Dynasty and sneered: "It's dark and Duoduo is worried about the explosion of the camp, so he makes the Qing army dare not move around. Let's take this opportunity to concentrate the troops and destroy them one by one. It's dark now, which is beneficial to us. The more Qing troops we eat, the more beneficial it will be for us after dawn."
The Ming army's forces around Min'an Town are actually similar to those of the Qing army. Once dawn is dawn, the Qing army will find out the surrounding situation, and the Ming army will inevitably find it difficult to stop the Qing army.
Therefore, while it is dark, the more Qing troops you kill now, the greater the chances of the Ming army will be after dawn.
Zhao Ming glanced at the generals and immediately shouted an order, "The army was sent to push from east to west, and met the enemy who formed a formation. He took advantage of the range of the flintlock musket to bombard the enemy with muskets first, and then the killer team and the horse army charged, kill the Qing army, and advance forward in waves!"
"As for your order!" Under the light of the torch, the generals of the Ming army clasped their fists and answered their orders loudly.
To the east of the battlefield, more than a thousand Qing troops defended the official road and formed a circular formation to guard against the Ming army's raid.
At this time, the Ming army with torches approached a hundred steps away from the Qing army's front. The Ming army's flintlocked rifles raised their muskets and shot. Amid the "bang bang" gunshots, the green camp soldiers wearing cloth armor and jackets were shot and fell to the ground like sieve.
The Qing army used bird guns and bows to shoot in the formation, but because of the distance, it was difficult to injure the Ming army. After the Ming army's musketeers retreated, another team stepped forward and raised their guns and fired. The Qing army immediately fell down again.
Seeing that he was completely passively beaten, the Qing general immediately roared, "Kill me!"
"Break down the Qing dog!" Wang Chaoxian roared loudly, and the Ming army's killer team passed the musketeers and directly collided with the Qing army, and began to fight fiercely.
On the hills, under the Qing army's banner, there were Qing army's messengers constantly sending messages to each formation, sending the latest news.
"Report! The army formation of Li Junmen in the south collapsed!"
"Report! Master, Zhao Zamao broke through three formations in a row, and Deputy General Zhou was killed by the thief general!"
Duoduo's face was gloomy and he stared at the battlefield. The three Ming troops advanced towards his central army. He clenched the hilt of the knife with his hands and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't panic, after dawn, I will make the barbarian look good!"
