Lord of Ming Dynasty

Based on these various reasons, Oboi thinks this is his home field, the home field of the Qing army, even if some Huaxia army goes deep here, he will receive information soon, and he will definitely not be attacked without knowing anything .

As he was leaving, he sent the order to assemble, and asked at the same time: "How many soldiers and horses do they have, how many soldiers and horses did we lose in the camp that was attacked, and which direction is the enemy?"

The little school said with a mournful face: "My lord, I don't know. The former army came to report. When they were searching for the enemy on the way forward, they found the enemy's large army slowly advancing. When the enemy found them, they immediately came back and reported. Before they could report, the rear camp was hit by enemy artillery, and then the enemy broke into the front camp outside the town, and the front army collapsed."

Hearing that it was just the collapse of the front army, Obai was relieved. The front army only had two thousand Mongolian cavalry. After the battle, the captives and the wounded of the Qing army, some soldiers with low morale, and those Han Han Banner Manchu soldiers, the Mongols watched them.

The total strength of about 5000 people has not yet spread to his army.

Now his army has [-] troops, [-] Han banner soldiers, [-] Mongolian cavalry, and [-] Qing Manchu soldiers.

The morale of the three thousand soldiers of the Han Army Banner was low, and he and some of the Mongolian cavalry were arranged to guard the way forward in the front army.There are also wounded and captured enemy soldiers, a total of 2000 people.

The rescue of these wounded and prisoners is not counted, only those soldiers who can still fight are counted, that is, [-] Mongolian cavalry and [-] Han banner soldiers.

Behind the left and right sides of the front army is a Manchu cavalry battalion with [-] soldiers and horses, and a Mongolian Horqin cavalry with [-] soldiers and horses.

Five thousand Manchu cavalry of his headquarters were in the town, and Manchu cavalry were camped on the highlands on both sides of the town to guard the town.

There is a [-] Mongolian cavalry battalion stationed at the exit of the canyon at the back, and [-] Manchu cavalry behind the town. This arrangement concentrates all the Manchu cavalry on the left and right, and uses the Mongols as an outer barrier to resist the enemy's attack. Worship is still selfish. The Manchus are the first class of the Qing Dynasty, the second class is the Mongols, the third class is the Han people who raised the flag and became Manchus, the soldiers of the Han army banner, and the fourth class are those Han officials. And the landlords and gentry, the fifth class is the Han people from all over the country.

No matter at any time, any dynasty, any time, this level is clearly divided.

When Ao Biden went to the tallest building in the town, the third floor of a restaurant owned by a gentry, the outside of the town was already brightly lit, and the sound of killing was loud.

The entire former army and the two Mongolian and Manchu camps in front of the town became a killing field.

In the dark night, you don't need to look carefully, but you can tell where there is fighting, where the fighting is the most intense, and so on through the sound of gunfire, flames, and shouts.

There are scout cavalry to report the news ahead.

The former army collapsed, and the enemy's cavalry was chasing and killing the fleeing Han army banner cavalry and Mongolian cavalry.

The Mongolian cavalry could still fight twice, while the Han army banner cavalry fled directly to the Manchu camp, causing a war somewhere.The Mongolian battalion of the former army sent people to ask whether to attack and meet the Mongolian cavalry of the former army.

Obai told the Mongolian cavalry to stick to the camp and not to attack.

Fighting in the dark, unless necessary, even the armies of later generations have to act cautiously. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, many people are not well fed. A battle is likely to become a battle for the defeat of their own army. There is no need. No general in charge of the army would easily let soldiers out of the camp.

The camp under attack can only defeat the enemy through its own efforts, or the general of the army can dispatch some highly morale and disciplined troops to support.

Aobai hadn't fully figured out the matter, so of course he wouldn't deploy troops, he could only send people to guard the gates, order the battalions to guard the camps tightly and not to attack.

At the door of the house, if he is harassed by the enemy for a while, he will mess up his own position and cause heavy losses to the troops. It is either that he, Oboi, has lost his mind after fighting for so many years, or the enemy is too powerful. mistake.

He already understood that only the front army was under attack, and he still had to wait for the enemy to move. Before that, he needed more information to judge the enemy's strength and purpose.

As news came one after another, Oboi finally judged the size of the enemy's troops, the scale of the attack, and the enemy's purpose.

It was only a part of the Huaxia army, with few troops. They broke through the former army camp. The Manchu camp was attacked by the defeated soldiers. The enemy's artillery bombardment, musket attacks, but did not suffer much damage. The Mongol camp was not attacked, there were some disturbances, He sent a team of Manchu cavalry from the town to suppress the Mongol camp.

In this way, he solved the disturbance caused by the enemy's attack on the former army.

However, bad news came that the enemy's pursuers were approaching. About two thousand cavalrymen appeared in the sight of the scout cavalry who were scouting backwards. Ten miles away.

Chapter 464 Meeting Obai 16

Obai was worried about the arrival of the enemy's chasing army from the rear, while Wang Yuqun and Tong Dawei looked at the gradually brightening sky ahead and nodded to each other.

Amidst the sound of clang clanging, the attacking artillery units quickly retreated, the chasseurs and lancers quickly broke away from the enemy, withdrew from the enemy's former army camp, and restrained the enemy's scout cavalry and dragoons from retreating quickly In front of the former barracks, the dragoons lined up in a cavalry line with a width of two miles, blocking the retreating front, and raised their matchlock guns.

The troops retreated in an orderly manner, and the infantry quickly used wheelbarrows to transport all the enemy's supplies in the front camp, and the enemy's carts were transferred to the camps of the No.19 Field Brigade and the Fifth Cavalry Brigade of the Huaxia Army in the rear. It took more than half an hour to retreat.

The artillerymen covered each other, the small artillery retreated first, the big artillery continued to bombard the enemy's Manchu and Mongolian camps, and then the sound of the artillery became smaller and smaller, and the battalion of six artillery pieces, the three artillery pieces retreated first, and the three artillery pieces continued After firing, the enemy was still chaotic and running around, but due to Oboi's order, the enemy did not pursue.

After the three cannons had retreated, they had already ran two miles away and set up again. When they were preparing to cover the retreat of other artillery, the remaining three cannons were quickly put away, and then they were put on carts and retreated.

What they did was quite orderly, organized, unhurried, but extremely fast, and the military quality of the Huaxia Army was vividly reflected.

Aobai had already led the full battalion to line up in the town, and they lined up in the middle of the two battalions one mile behind, watching the enemy's retreat through binoculars.

Seeing this situation, he couldn't help sighing that the enemy was too powerful. He already had a preliminary understanding of his opponent, the No.19 Field Brigade of the Huaxia Army. It's time. Compared with the enemy's No.20 Third Field Brigade, the No.20 Fourth Field Brigade was successfully compiled this year. It was the No.20 Third Field Brigade formed by surrendered Thai and Western captives. He had just heard from the captives The No. 20 Fourth Field Brigade that arrived hastily compiled, this No. 19 Field Brigade is already considered an elite unit of the Huaxia Army.

Facing such an army, under such circumstances, the enemy army was approaching from behind, and had already reached the canyon thirty miles away, and attacked our front army in the middle of the night last night, and completely destroyed our front army, suppressing the army in the middle of the night. He didn't dare to move at all when the two of his own troops were full of the camp and the Mongolian camp.

Morale must have dropped again because of this failure. If he made a mistake, his army would collapse.

He didn't want to collapse at the door of the house.

You can only watch the enemy retreat.

When the sky was bright, the enemy finally retreated, and the wounded and captured Qing troops, as well as the rescued captives, were all withdrawn by the Huaxia Army.

The two camps also reported the number of casualties. The Mongolian camp had three hundred casualties. Many trenches and fences in front of the camp, as well as the horses that prevented the horses from advancing, were blown up, and [-]% of the tents in the camp were damaged.

One part of the full camp was breached, with [-] casualties, and many defensive facilities were destroyed in the camp on one side. So far, the two camps have not suffered much loss.

This loss is still within his acceptable range.

The scout cavalry in the rear lost 100 people, and the remaining scout cavalry had been compressed into the camp and dared not go out.

The enemy's scout cavalry had already reached the outskirts of the camp, scouting the movements of their own army unscrupulously.

You may be in danger of being surrounded.

The enemy dragoons retreated slowly.

The former army camp was recovered by the Mongolian cavalry and Han Banner cavalry who retreated last night.

It's just an empty camp.

Casualties and losses were reported.

Last night, there were [-] Mongolian cavalry casualties and [-] Han flag cavalry. The wounded and captives in the camp were taken by the Huaxia army, and even the grain and some war horses were taken away by the Huaxia army.

Just when Aobai frowned, thinking about how to defeat the enemy in front of him, and retreated quickly, Suo Etu led eight hundred cavalry back to the army camp from a side path in a panic.

Seeing Suo'etu, even though Obai was prepared, he was still a little annoyed that [-] soldiers were lost like this.

As soon as Suo'etu came back, he knelt in front of Oboi, "The last general is incompetent. After a day and night of fierce fighting, he failed to stop the Huaxia army. Please punish him."

According to the previous Oboi, cutting Suo'etu would be easy, but he retreated with an army of 10,000+ and lost nearly [-] troops. He was also a defeated general. How could he have the confidence to deal with Suo'etu, let alone others He is the son of a minister in the court. Don't you look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha? So he said coldly: "I will give you a chance to make a contribution. I will give you five thousand Mongolian cavalry and one thousand four hundred Han banner soldiers. Five thousand full battalion of cavalry, you take your troops and horses, and immediately attack the pass where the enemy is stuck at the intersection, at noon it is very necessary to take down the enemy pass and open up the road to the north."

Suo'etu didn't expect to be let off so easily, he was stunned for a moment, his clever mind immediately turned, and then he quickly accepted the order and left Aobai's Chinese army camp with his personal guards.

Obai began to worry again. Obviously, his hope of escape was slim. He had already seen the power of infantry and artillery of the Huaxia Army, and even more so, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Huaxia Army with muskets.

He didn't think that with his 2-plus troops, he could break through the enemy's nearly [-]-strong force, and the terrain alone made Oboi, who was full of cavalry, sit in trouble.
