After winning the first battle in Shijingshan, Zhu Cixuan was not satisfied, and ordered Longxiang not to close four posts at night to disperse the investigation and pay attention to the movement of the surrounding Qing army.
Since Yang Qili, the chief commander of the first outpost, was taught a lesson by the Crown Prince, Longxiang became more serious when he didn't stop to investigate at night.
On the next day, without closing the second sentry at night, a large number of Qing troops were found near Liangxiang. After the second outpost heard the news, the other three outposts closed quickly without closing at night, and reconnaissance activities near Liangxiang City became more frequent.
At the same time, the Qing army's horses were cleaned up. As soon as the nearby Qing army's horses appeared, they were immediately found by Longxiang and killed secretly.
In the big tent of Yongwei Camp on the east side of Shijingshan Mountain, the main generals of Yongwei Camp gathered together, and Zhu Cixuan was looking up the map of Beijing and its surrounding areas on the main seat.
At this time, General Manager Qian of Longxiang returned to the camp without closing the second sentry at night and personally reported to Zhu Cigui: "Your highness, the Tartar army has broken through Fangshan and Liangxiang, and the slave chieftain Azig is heading south to Zhuozhou, leaving only ten thousand people under slave general Yang Guli to stay in Liangxiang City."
Zhu Cixuan nodded, then looked at the map and said, "You can start the whole army and march to Liangxiang City!"
The night of the second sentry did not receive the thousand generals: "Your highness, those who stay in Liangxiangcheng are all the eight flag elites of Jiannu!"
Before Zhu Cixuan could speak, Huang Degong beside him shouted, "I'm fighting for the best!"
Zhu Cixuan immediately glared at him. Huang Degong thought that he had spoken rude words before the emperor, so he quickly smiled.
He did not know that Zhu Cixuan was angry because he stole his lines. Leader Li's words, which had a strong pretense of force, had a good chance to say now. Unexpectedly, Huang Degong beat him to the front! How can Zhu Cixuan not be angry?
When Zhu Cixuan was angry, he said: "Let the artillery battalion go back to the capital to bring the Italian artillery... No, bring the Franco machine guns and the Hongyi artillery. I will blow the hell!"
All the generals in the tent looked at Zhu Cixuan stupidly. No one expected that the gentle prince would also speak foul language However, I like it!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The Eight Banners Army is composed of the Eight Banners Manchuria, the Eight Banners Mongolia and the Eight Banners Han Army. Many people mistakenly call it the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Army.
This time, the Qing army dispatched 100000 troops, not only the Eight Banner Manchuria, but also the Eight Banner Mongols, and the Eight Banner Han Army, which has not yet been formed.
In the Qing Army camp in Liangxiang, 30 miles away from Shijingshan, Yang Guli's right eye jumped very hard. He hadn't heard from Tan Taibu for two days.
Waiting for the meeting of Tan Tai's team, Yang Guli had been separated from Azig's team for two days. Until the third day, Yang Guli could not help sending people to Shijingshan to inquire about Tan Tai's team.
Yang Guli took off the outermost layer of cotton armor and kept wiping the sweat on his forehead. In such a hot day, he felt uncomfortable wearing three layers of heavy armor.
The Eight Banner Army's specialty is field operations, and it is not good at defense. After capturing Liangxiang and plundering Liangxiang City, it stationed its camp on a high ground outside the city, and only sent a few Qing soldiers to guard the looted property in the city.
Yang Guli's soldiers found a mat snatched from the nearby rich merchant's house, spread it on the ground and asked Yang Guli to have a rest, and brought a bowl of cold water.
Yang Guli had just sat down. Before he could drink a sip of water, a Qing soldier came to report, "I report to my husband that Shi Jingshan's rear troops have been completely wiped out by the Ming army."
Yang Guli got excited, sat up straight and said, "Nonsense, where did the Ming Army come from? How could it be possible to wipe out the rear team?"
The Eight Banners Army was invincible all the way, and the Ming army retreated all the time. Even some of them could not withstand their powerful attacks, and they abandoned the city and fled.
If Tan Tai's men and women meet the Ming army, they can only be the men and women of the Beijing camp. However, according to Yang Guli, the capital camp of the Ming country is full of waste. How can we wipe out Tan Tai's three thousand eight flag elites?
"I don't know who they are, but from a distance, their flag is the red dragon flag." The Qing Army's horse exploration was full of fear.
Many of them died out of nowhere, and he managed to escape.
"The red dragon flag... it should be the pro army of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. What about Tan Tai?" Yang Guli suddenly said in a deep voice.
"Lord Tan Tai has died in battle. Ming Army cut off his head and put it on the flagpole..."
Yang Guli clenched his fist, and the veins on his forehead were exposed. He roared: "These southern barbarians, I will bloody wash them and avenge my brother Tan Tai!"
Soon, another scout came to report that there was a group of Ming Army coming from Shijingshan, only two or three miles away from the camp.
Yanguri looked in the direction of his fingers, and then climbed onto the high platform to look around. Soon, he saw dust flying in the distance, and a large group of people were coming towards him.
Yang Guli was a little dubious. The Ming army had no more than 5000 men. How could it possibly wipe out Tan Tai's 3000 men?
His master, Huang Taiji, once said that the Ming army needs 10000 people, the Eight Banner Army needs only 1000 people, the Ming army needs 1000 people, and the Eight Banner Army needs only 100 people to win.
Yang Guli is also a man who has been through many battles. Seeing that the Yongwei Camp in the distance is well organized, he knows there must be some strength. So he immediately ordered the whole army to form an array and prepare to meet the Ming army. At the same time, he sent a letter to the former army's Azig, telling them that Ming troops had been watching them.
The army of the Qing Dynasty has been fighting for many years. It is really well trained. It is not disorderly even when it is repaired. After receiving the order of Yang Guli, it quickly formed an array.
By this time, the team of Yongwei Camp had arrived. Zhu Cixuan observed the surrounding terrain and finally arranged the Yongwei Camp on a hillside a mile away.
The hillside is not steep, and the slope is only about ten degrees. The Yong Wei Camp stopped after the formation was lined up and then gradually pushed 50 steps to the bottom.
The battle array is the same as that of Tan Tai. The Yong Wei Battalion is still in front and behind, but the musketeers in the front row have changed from three rows to five rows. Zhu Cixuan used the terrain of the hillside to increase the firepower and attack density of the musketeers.
When I first saw this formation, Yang Guli, like Tan Tai, thought it was strange that the Yongwei Camp had formed such a formation without depth.
Yang Guli couldn't figure out how these rows of musketeers could withstand the impact of the Qing Dynasty's cavalry? Do they think that the hillside can stop the cavalry?
Tan Tai was defeated by such a Ming army and lost his life. It must be strange.
Yang Guli decided to use the Han army as cannon fodder to test it first, so he ordered to transfer a Han army Jiala, a total of more than 1800 troops, including 300 cavalry, to attack Yongwei Camp.
After receiving the order, the Han Army's Jiala Zhangjing had no choice but to brave his head and lead his troops to approach the Yongwei Camp.
As soon as the Qing army set out, the Yongwei Battalion immediately picked up the muskets, looked for their own targets, and waited for the Qing army to approach a hundred steps before shooting.
Seeing that the formation of the Ming army has not changed, Yang Guli is even more depressed. Is this group of Ming army coming to die or is it really powerful? This tactic is too bad. It's totally useless!
Zhu Cixuan is too lazy to study any tactics. He just uses the experience of the later generations, which has been explored for nearly 200 years and proved by history, to operate.
By this time, a Jiala's Eight Banners Han Army had left the main array of the Qing army and began to attack the Yongwei Camp.
