Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 358 Chapter 358, the British government tried to attack, and Prince Yu tried to use tactics
Shanhaiguan is open.

Countless soldiers of the Ming army filed out along the thick gate and began to line up on the plain outside the gate.

The chariots were galloping, the horses were neighing, and the flag of Ming Dynasty was flying in the air.

The soldiers of the Ming army were full of energy and communicated with each other in low voices.

"This time we have to kill a few more slave-building Tatars."

"That's right, Li Sandan from the team next door was lucky enough to get a few mouse heads last time, so he can become an officer directly."

"The officer is not the same as us!"

"Say that nonsense. How can you become a general if you don't get promoted to an officer? I think you will be a stinker in your life."

"I don't like hearing what you say. You're waiting for me. When I get a few Tartar rat heads back this time, and I get promoted, I'll assign you to be my personal guard and bring you water every day. I wash my feet!"

"Pooh!!!"

……

Li Guozhen listened to the mutual complaints of two Ming army soldiers not far away, and couldn't help coughing, keeping a stern face to prevent the smile from showing in his heart.

Morale is available.

Li Guozhen's eyes turned and landed on the overlapping Qing army camps in the distance. His expression changed and his murderous intent emerged.

Over the years, it has always been the Qing army that took the initiative to attack and the Ming army that defended passively.

Today, it’s time for Ming Dynasty to feel proud and proud!
The commander-in-chief of the Ming army, the British Duke Zhang Shize, was by Li Guozhen's side. He was not looking at the Qing army camp, but farther away on the plain.

This pass is not just a pass, it is the terminus of the Guanningjin Defense Line built by the Ming Dynasty at a huge cost. Several large and small pass cities stretch along the Western Liaoning Corridor, supporting each other with the Shanhaiguan Pass.

Dongluo City, Xiluo City, Weiyuan City, and Beiyi City, the four small cities are connected to Shanhaiguan by a long pass wall, like the limbs of a giant beast extending forward.

Now, the gates of these four small cities are also opening, and many Ming army soldiers are also appearing one after another.

The British Duke nodded slightly, and said: "After these years of hardships, Daming finally has a usable division."

Li Guozhen smiled and said, "I have to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The British Duke let out a long breath, and said: "Yes, the elites are all honed from the war. If His Royal Highness didn't lead the army to conquer the north and south, where did this heroic army come from?"

Li Guozhen was eager to try and said: "Master Guo, shall we attack?"

The British Duke pondered for a moment, and said: "Uncle Xiangcheng, didn't you notice something was wrong? Jiannu saw our army forming an array, but he didn't react at all."

Li Guozhen was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses: "Huh? That's really the case."

The two of them looked at the Qing army camp opposite. The overlapping and imposing camp was like a silent turtle, without any movement at all.

What about people?

The British Duke pondered for a while, and said: "Send a vanguard first, and take a tentative attack."

Of course, there were no people in the Qing army camp.

Prince Duduo of Yu was on the observation deck at the entrance of the camp, watching the Ming army in the distance with a monocular telescope.

In Duduo's sight, a Ming army was approaching.

At the forefront of this Ming army were shield soldiers holding shields and short spears, and behind them were dense musketeers.

On both wings of the vanguard Ming army, there were two other Ming armies guarding them on the left and right, slowly moving towards the Qing army camp in the shape of a "pin".

Duoduo watched all this with a frown and remained silent for a long time.

After a while, a general of the Qing army beside Duoduo couldn't help but said, "Prince Yu, the Ming army is coming."

Duoduo snorted and said, "Am I blind, do you still need to tell me?"

The general shrank his head, not daring to speak any more.

Duoduo watched the Ming army in the distance, feeling emotional ups and downs in his heart.

The confrontation between the Ming and Qing Dynasties has been going on for decades since Duoduo's dead father, Nuharchi, raised his troops.

Once upon a time, the Qing army grew from weak to strong step by step, from being surrounded by the Ming army on all sides to beating the Ming army so that they dared not leave the city.

Unexpectedly, in just two or three years, the situation has undergone such a significant reversal.

The Ming army launched counterattacks against the Qing army again and again, and was even able to attack the Qing army's camp!

"Hmph...you don't even know what you're doing, you deserve to be buried in the grassland as the crown prince of the Ming Kingdom!"

Duoduo sneered, feeling some comfort in his heart.

He didn't hesitate anymore, and got on his horse.

"Let's go, leave 200 people, and set the camp on fire."

The subordinates behind him were immediately surprised when they heard this and couldn't help but said: "Prince Yu, how could one or two hundred people set fire to the entire camp in a short period of time?"

Duoduo shook his head and said, "The British Duke over there in the Ming army is still a bit capable, and this trick can no longer be hidden from him."

When Duduo saw the number and advancing speed of the vanguard army, he knew that his plan to invite you to burn the camp had failed.

But this kind of failure didn't make Doduo feel depressed, but instead made him feel joyful in a vague way.

It can be seen from this battle that the British Duke Zhang Shize is a very cautious person.

Would a prudent person choose to march with all his strength and rush all over the hinterland of Liaodong in the Qing Dynasty?
of course not.

In that case, Duduo can buy enough time for Dorgon in the north and complete the task assigned by Dorgon.

Duduo was very satisfied with the result of this trial!

With the sound of horseshoes, Duoduo led the last batch of Qing troops to leave.

Soon, the camp fell into a deathly silence.

The silence didn't last too long. About a quarter of an hour later, a soldier of the Ming Vanguard Army climbed over the not too high camp fence.

He looked left and right, and was obviously disappointed when he found that there was indeed no trace of the Qing army, but he immediately became complacent.

"Everyone has seen it, this is the first one I came in, I am the first one!"

……

"The vanguard army has entered!"

"Confirm that there is no main force for slave building in the slave camp!"

"There is a fire in the camp, it seems that Jiannu set it on purpose!"

"The vanguard is evacuating the slave camp!"

Listening to these reports, Li Guozhen's heart couldn't help but tighten slightly. He glanced at the British father next to him and felt a little lucky.

"My lord, it's a good thing we didn't rush forward directly."

The number of vanguard troops is not large, and there is no time to evacuate in a short time.If tens of thousands of troops swarmed up, the situation would be completely different.

This is indeed a testament to the foresight of the British public.

The British Duke laughed and said: "It seems that Dorgon's main force is indeed heading north."

After saying this, the British Duke's expression suddenly became excited, and light began to appear on the face of this Ming Dynasty general.

"So, what are we waiting for? Send the order, and the whole army will bypass the Jiannu camp and start chasing northeast!"

Li Guozhen was overjoyed and asked subconsciously.

"How far to chase?"

The British public glanced at Li Guozhen and smiled.

"Of course you can chase as far as you can!"
