The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 259
While the Qing army in Liaoyang City was being baptized by Jiang's army's artillery fire, the Qing army guards in Gaizhou and Guangning who had received Fei Yanggu's request for help were also preparing to send reinforcements to rescue Liaoyang.

The reason why the Qing Dynasty was able to rise from a savage tribe to dominate Liaodong in just a few decades, defeated Mongolia, North Korea bowed its head and surrendered, and defeated Ming Dynasty to throw away its helmet and armor, except for the powerful fighting skills and tenacity honed in the dense forests of Baishan, Heishui, and deep mountains. In addition to the will of the Communist Party of China, strict military discipline is also an important magic weapon for its rise.

After watching too many ministries of the Ming army quarreling with each other, intrigues and even dying, the Qing Dynasty stipulated that if he refused to save him on the battlefield, the punishment for the chief general would be extremely severe, and those who were serious would be beheaded , the men were exiled to Ningguta as slaves, and the women were all rewarded as slaves by other nobles.

So after receiving Fei Yanggu's request for help, the defenders of the two cities hurriedly sent reinforcements.

Among them, Guangning sent [-] reinforcements, and Gaizhou also had about [-] troops, almost setting off one after the other.

In fact, there are [-] to [-] troops stationed in front of each of the three cities in southern Liaoning.But because Huang Taiji is seriously ill now, in order to fight for power and prevent turmoil in Shengjing, all the banners have transferred their elite troops back to Shengjing, resulting in the emptiness of the defenses of the three cities in southern Liaoning.

Of course, the emptiness of city defense is only a relative term.For the nobles of the Qing Dynasty, they felt that it was too much to defend a city with 3 to [-] horses. In Liaodong, no force had the strength to conquer three cities.Therefore, in their eyes, there is not much difference between more people and fewer people.

That's why the reinforcements sent by Guangning and Gaizhou were at most about [-].

Of course, if the defenders of these two cities knew that there was already an elite army of 2 people waiting in front of them on the way to Liaoyang, they would never have sent reinforcements so swiftly.

The crime of refusing to save him is on the premise that he has spare power, but if the city he guards is also facing a strong enemy, then of course he must protect himself first.

It's a pity that they are still kept in the dark. On the one hand, they didn't expect that Jiang's army had such a big appetite and marched so fast that they had already set up a death trap waiting for them to penetrate. .

The second reason is that Jiang's army's marching route is secret, and they follow the hidden roads mentioned in the Liaodong map provided by Liu Ji before. If they didn't know in advance that there would be troops passing by those roads and deliberately sent people to investigate, they would not have found it at all.

It can be said that the Jiang family's army has been invincible this time.

Guangning is closer to Liaoyang, and Guangning's reinforcements from the Qing Dynasty also set off earlier, so when the reinforcements from Gaizhou were still on their way, Guangning's Qing troops had already encountered the situation and had already set up on the road. The pockets are waiting for the left army of the Jiang family army to drill into them.

According to the prior arrangement, Ran Wu hid most of his troops in the dense forests on both sides of the official road, and countless horse pits had been dug out on the official road, all of which were covered with leaves and loess. There is absolutely no clue.

Then, the remaining small part of the troops were blatantly placed on the official road, waiting for the arrival of the Qing army.

The Qing army marched very fast along the way, and they didn't have much time to conduct battlefield reconnaissance. They just randomly shot a few arrows at the woods on both sides to see if there was an ambush when the vanguard passed by.

I just walked for dozens of miles and found nothing, so I slowly relaxed my vigilance.

Moreover, for the defenders of the Qing army in Guangning City, they didn't think that Jiang's army still had extra troops to set up ambushes on the road to ambush their reinforcements.

Because according to the information they collected, the strength of Jiang's army is not too large.Even if 7 Ming army prisoners were recruited, they would only be [-] to [-] horses.And even if troops are sent, [-] to [-] troops will be left to guard the lair, so this time it will only be [-] troops at most.

Although Liaoyang is not considered a big city, but according to the Han military art of encircling it five times and attacking it ten times, Jiang's army must have two or three times the strength of two Liaoyang cities if they want to besiege it. It is certain that all their troops are under the city of Liaoyang.

It is precisely based on this judgment that the so-called battlefield reconnaissance of the Qing army is almost just a formality.

So when they found the Jiang family army posing in front of the road, they were shocked at first.But after careful observation, I found that there were not many of these people, that is, two to three thousand people, and my courage became stronger again.

After all, the Qing army at this time was also a strong army that had been tempered after a long battle. Although it was a bit changed after being beaten by Jiang's army after a few battles, it was not to the point of fleeing.

So seeing that the enemy is outnumbered, there are advantages to take advantage of, so the general leading the team ordered the cavalry to assault the formation of Jiang's army.

Facing the onslaught of thousands of cavalry from the Qing soldiers, the 3000-strong Jiang family infantry phalanx stood still, with heavily armored pikemen standing in front, and crossbowmen calmly behind, quietly waiting for the command of the general.

The cavalrymen of the Qing army rushed over with hideous faces, yelling loudly, the swords waving in their hands gleamed chillingly in the sun, and the horseshoes burst into waves, setting off bursts of smoke and dust, and the momentum was quite astonishing.

Seeing that another charging sword could hit the enemy's head, the cavalry of the Qing army became excited one by one, and the shouting was even more exaggerated and intensive.

With a sudden change, the cavalry horse rushing to the front suddenly fell forward, throwing the cavalry who was caught off guard at once, and threw it heavily on the ground.

Then, I saw the cavalry of the Qing army stumble one by one, the horses fell down, and the people were thrown from the horses.

The cavalry at the back saw the changes in front and reined in their horses urgently. For a while, the horses neighed and life shouted, and there was chaos.

However, it would have been a disaster for a large group of cavalry to stop suddenly during a high-speed charge.The ones in front stopped, but the ones behind didn't know what happened. The inertia of the horses galloping at high speed made it impossible for them to rein in time, and they collided with the people in front.

As a result, the entire cavalry formation suddenly came to a standstill, presenting a chaotic situation.

The cavalry of the Qing army was in chaos, and it was the opportunity Jiang's army was waiting for.And at this time, most of the cavalry of the Qing army had entered the range of bows and arrows.

Ran Wu smiled coldly, and ordered decisively: "Fire the arrow."

"Let go!" The captain of the Bow and Crossbow Battalion slashed down fiercely with his sword, and thousands of spiked heavy arrows shot out suddenly, drawing beautiful parabolas in the air, and heading towards the chaos with bursts of whistling sound. The cavalry of the Qing army in the middle walked away.

　The third one arrives.Finally did not break his promise.
