Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 370 Chapter 370, the Qing army ambushed on the big slope, and the Ming army took a nap on the small hill
According to Dorgon's original thinking, as long as he can return to Shengjing City, he can clean up Jierhalang first, and then lead the entire Qing army to a decisive battle with the Ming army.

Even if the two Ming armies of Zhu Cihong and British Duke Zhang Shize join forces at that time, Dorgon is confident that he can win the battle.

But now, Dorgon suddenly realized one thing, that is, he might have underestimated Zhu Cihong's determination.

Zhu Cihong followed up and bit the Qing army so ferociously, maybe he wanted to wipe out the Qing army completely!
"Hmph, do you really think that a mere [-] cavalry can eat up the main force of the Qing Dynasty? It's ridiculous!"

With this mood, Dorgon ushered in another day.

Dorgon's strategy is very simple, that is to set up an ambush!
It is particular about where to set up an ambush, and Dorgon carefully selected a place called Daxiepozi.

The so-called Daxiepozi, as the name suggests, is a small hilly area with a large slope.

This place is lush with water and grass, and there are rivers passing through it, which is very suitable for infantry ambushes, and it is extremely restrained in cavalry operations.

"Send [-] soldiers and horses to ambush here. When the Ming army passes by, they will fight out immediately and cut off their retreat."

"At that time, I will naturally lead the army to turn around and cover up the killing. We must let the Ming army know, and we will end up angering the Qing Dynasty!"

After listening to Dorgon's order, the Manchu and Qing generals present also cheered up.

Azige said with a chuckle: "These Ming people followed us like wild dogs along the way, but they refused to let go. It's time to knock out some of their teeth!"

Badalley was even gearing up, and said with a smile: "Prince Ying is so right, I still want to use the head of a Ming general as a wine glass!"

As the saying goes, clay figurines are also very angry. These Manchu and Qing generals fought so aggrieved after this battle, and finally had a chance to take revenge on the Ming army. How could they let it go?
Everyone put out their best form, gearing up, waiting for the Ming army to throw themselves into the trap.

Minutes passed by.

Zhu Cihong rode his horse unhurriedly, surrounded by many Ming army cavalry.

Li Dingguo pointed to the front with a smile: "Your Highness, please look. After about twenty miles or so, you will enter the hilly area ahead. By the way, the local people also call this place very interesting, it is called Daxiepozi."

"Daxiepozi?" Zhu Cihong couldn't help laughing when he heard this address: "It's really interesting..."

After Zhu Cilang finished laughing, he said to Li Dingguo: "Old Li, do you think there will be an ambush from the Qing Dynasty ahead?"

Li Dingguo paused, and said: "It is true that this possibility is not ruled out, how about I send a scout team to investigate?"

Zhu Cihong stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "No, let's pass the order, we will stop five miles in front of this big slope, everyone get off the horse and eat something."

Li Dingguo was a little surprised: "Your Highness, in fact, we can really use the scout team to investigate."

Zhu Cihong nodded and smiled: "Yes, but in that case, wouldn't the Qing army know that we discovered their intentions?"

Li Dingguo was silent for a moment, and said: "But what if there is no ambush there?"

Zhu Cihong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then let the soldiers take a nap."

……

Dorgon turned his head many times, looking at the big slope that was gradually going away.

"Why so long?" Dorgon couldn't help talking to himself.

According to the previous plan, at this moment, Dorgon is leading the main force of the Qing army to pretend to continue to move south quickly.

But the problem is that this "pretend" is about to come true...

Right now, the main force led by Dorgon has been several miles away from the ambush site in Daxiepozi. If the distance is further extended, when the war breaks out, the main force of the Qing army will not have time to return to the army and form an encirclement with the ambush troops. .

Thinking of this, Dorgon couldn't help becoming a little irritable, and said: "Go send someone to ask the Prince of England what's going on!"

Prince Azig of England is the chief general in charge of the ambush this time.

Azige also thought about the shame, so he lay on the grass with his buttocks up, enduring the bites of mosquitoes, and watched the Ming army who was just a few miles away very seriously.

"Damn things, why did they stop?" Azig scratched the big bump on his cheek that was bitten out by some kind of bug, and cursed angrily.

Badali was lying beside Azig, and this native Mongolian man obviously adapted to the environment better, and said softly: "Prince Ying, do you mean that the army has already seen through Prince Rui's scheme?"

Azig pondered for a while, and said, "Impossible? If it is really discovered, the Ming army must at least send a group of scouts to investigate our hills, but look, their scouts are on the road below. Come up and go, there is no sign of wanting to come up."

When Badali thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Looking at the scouts of the Ming army passing back and forth on the road under the hills, Badali couldn't help but clenched the saber at his waist.

With a clear order, these guys can be shot into a sieve...

That's all, a little intolerance can lead to a big conspiracy!

……

The situation on Azig's side was soon reported to Dorgon's side.

"What, the Ming army suddenly stopped and rested in front of the big slope?" When Dorgon heard the news, he suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart.

After a while, Dorgon breathed a sigh of relief, and said through gritted teeth: "Azig, an idiot, has been tricked by Zhu Cihong and still doesn't know! Pass down the order to lead the army to retreat immediately!"

Around Dorgon, many Qing generals were stunned.

Someone couldn't help but said: "Prince Rui, didn't Prince Ying say that the Ming army did not send scouts to investigate on the big slope?"

Dorgon snorted, and said with a sneer, "That's why he is called an idiot! Zhu Cihong just made it clear that he wanted to waste time, and when Azig had no time to retreat in the evening, wouldn't he be the turtle in the urn of the Ming army?"

"Let the main force also stop and be ready to meet Azig at any time, otherwise, he will die under the horseshoe of the Ming army!"

Listening to Dorgon's order, all the Manchu generals present felt chills.

"This Zhu Cihong is so vicious and wants to eat Prince Ying's troops?"

"It's really hateful!"

"Fortunately, Prince Rui saw through Zhu Cihong's plot."

"Zhu Cihong is just a child, how can he be compared with Prince Rui?"

Everyone cursed Zhu Cihuang in a hurry, and flattered Dorgon fiercely by the way, but there was no trace of joy on Dorgon's face.

This time, the ambush he carefully set up failed!
