Chapter 680 Coupling and Blocking
Shandong has many mountains and hills, and the location of the coalition forces is in the southern Shandong area north of Xuzhou.
The Grand Canal is to the west of the 200,000 coalition forces, the Yimeng Mountains to the east, and Mount Tai and a large area of hills to the north.
This means that 200,000 Qing troops and Northern Ming troops are located in a narrow area surrounded by canals and mountains.
This gave the Liang army a chance to annihilate them.
After hearing Wu Sangui's words, Duoduo was so shocked that he quickly got up, hurriedly put on a coat, walked to the map, and asked anxiously: "What's the situation now?"
Wu Sangui had a gloomy face and walked quickly to the map and pointed to the near to Dongchang and Tai'an. "Sun Chuanting crossed the river from Cao County, broke through the river defense, and ran all the way to the northeast, heading towards Dongchang and Tai'an. We have no soldiers here, and the two places will probably fall into the enemy soon."
Duoduo gritted his teeth, "Sun Chuanting crossed the river, how could he know about such a big noise now?"
"Prince Yu! Now is not the time to hold us accountable." Wu Sangui said anxiously: "Sun Chuanting cut off our retreat. Gao Huan crossed the Huai River, and the army rushed forward. The cavalry might have entered the boundary of Shandong. What we have to consider now is to fight Gao Huan, or break through the obstacles and retreat north immediately."
Duoduo folded the wooden pole in his hand into two pieces with a bang, his eyes were red, and he was extremely decisive: "Remove!"
With intentional calculation but no intention, Gao Huan must have come prepared, but Duoduo was not prepared.
The Qing army was divided into two parts, one in Huaiqing and the other in Yanzhou. The main forces were not together, and it was not the time for a decisive battle.
This time, Duoduo was fighting fiercely with Gao Huan and Zheng Zhilong, and the Qing army was once again profitable. The whole army was not ready to fight the Liang army.
Finally, with the strength of the Liang Kingdom, the Qing army and the Northern Ming army were no longer Gao Huan's opponents. At present, as long as you retreat first, and then send envoys to Li Jiyu, Zheng Zhilong, and Zhang Xianzhong to ask for help and reorganize the five armies, you can fight Gao Huan.
Two days ago, Duoduo ordered the army to demolish the fences of the military camp and prepare to pull the camp back to Hebei. Now it is too late to re-arrange it.
The army ordered the Qing army and the Northern Ming army quickly pulled out the camp. The cavalry flew on their horses and rushed out of the camp. The infantry quickly packed their luggage, hurried out of the camp, and rushed to the north in a hurry.
...
The soldiers in the Qing army camp north of Xuzhou, near Zaozhuang, were packing their luggage and preparing to return north.
In the military camp, the Qing generals shouted from time to time, "Everyone is quick! Go north quickly."
The Qing soldiers were busy cleaning up, and suddenly they felt a tremor on the ground. Some soldiers looked up and were shocked and immediately became shocked. They acted like to run away, "The Liang Bing is here!"
"The Liang soldiers are here! Go quickly!" A scream rang out, and the few Qing troops left in the camp ran away and rushed north.
At this time, in the wilderness, the red Liang cavalry rushed over, and Hao Yaoqi's face was ferocious and wind was sailing before the troops.
He rode his horse into the Qing army camp, stabbed a Qing army to death with one spear, and then continued to pursue the death.
"Kill!" Liang's cavalry jumped on horseback and raised their swords, rushed into the Qing army camp, staring at their prey, and chasing the running Qing army.
After the cavalry, Gao Huan rode on the war horse, mixed with Liang army infantry and cavalry, and marched forward from time to time. The officers shouted from time to time, "Quick! Speed up! If it slows down, the Tartars will run away!"
...
Huaiqing Mansion.
Mandahai led 100,000 Qing troops to station here.
As planned, after Gao Huan started a war with the Zheng family, Mandahai crossed the Yellow River and formed a clamp-shaped offensive with Li Jiyu to capture Henan.
News of Gao Huan's reconciliation with Zheng Zhilong came, Li Jiyu withdrew from Shanzhou to Guanzhong, and Mandahai was also preparing to lead his troops back to Beijing.
At this time, the Qing army camp was packing up, and a team of cavalry rushed over and rushed to the front of the camp gate.
In the central army's tent, Mandahai was watching Baoyi's slave packing his things for him, and a general suddenly picked up the tent.
"Prince! The big thing is not good, the Liang army suddenly attacked, and Sun Chuanting broke through the river defense and fled from Cao County to Dongchang, Tai'an!" Geng Zhongming said anxiously.
"What?"
Mandahai was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly asked Baoyi to hang up the collected map again, and then walked to the front of the map.
Mandahai quickly found Liang Jun's marching trajectory on the map, and couldn't help but frown: "Sun Chuanting suddenly inserted into Dongchang and Tai'an, what do he want to do?"
Geng Zhongming said: "Prince, Liang Jun is going to cut off the retreat of Prince Yu and Wu Sangui!"
Mandahai suddenly woke up, his face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed: "No, Manzi Gao has a big appetite. He wants to eat the 200,000 troops in Yanzhou, and he is not afraid of destroying his teeth!"
Mandahai said that, but in fact he was quite scared and worried about Duoduo.
When Dorgon led his army south, no one expected that Gao Huan could eat Dorgon, but in the battle of Shuanggou, Dorgon's army was almost destroyed by more than 100,000 troops. Dorgon himself also poured manure in Liang State.
Therefore, Mandahai dared not underestimate him at all.
"King Huaishun!" Mandahai was excited and suddenly shouted, then said anxiously: "Quick! Collect troops immediately, and advance towards Dongchang and Tai'an immediately, and pick up King Yu out!"
The military orders were passed, and the Qing army camp became excited. The cavalry flew on horseback. The infantry rushed out of the barracks, picked up weapons and assembled outside the camp.
In less than half an hour, Mandahai assembled a 20,000 to 30,000 troops. After a brief mobilization, Geng Zhongming led the march eastward to pick up Duoduo's breakthrough to prevent him from picking up manure as well.
Jinan City.
Hong Chengchou should be the first to learn that Sun Chuanting broke through river defense and penetrated into the hinterland of Shandong.
However, the main force of the Northern Ming army was in Yanzhou, and Jinan City had no troops, so they could only barely defend and were unable to rescue Duoduo.
At this time, Hong Chengchou could only divorce several letters immediately, and then sent a messenger to ask Li Jiyu, Zhang Xianzhong, and Zheng Zhilong for help, hoping to reorganize the coalition forces of the five countries and jointly deal with Gao Huan.
The border between Tai'an Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture, Dawenkou, the official road is the place where Dawenkou is passed.
The three thousand Liang troops rushed to the scene, the soldiers stood on the official road, gasping heavily, while Li Yuanyin glanced around.
At this time, a scout came over panting, "General, the Qing army vanguard is five miles away!"
When Li Yuanyin heard this, he felt a stern and hurriedly called, "Hurry, go to the hills on both sides to hide!"
When the Liang soldiers heard the order, they hurriedly dragged their tired bodies and climbed up the hillsides on both sides, hiding themselves among the woods and weeds.
At this time, the Liang army soldiers had just hidden themselves, and a group of people rolled in from afar.
Li Yuanyin lay on the top of the mountain, staring at the official road extending south, and said in a deep voice: "Here you come!"
The soldiers of Liang army looked at the sound and saw dust flying in the south, and a large group of enemy troops rolling in.
In order to enter Tai'an before the Liang army, the Qing army did not bother to send scouts to investigate in detail, and thousands of vanguards rushed north without stopping.
More than a dozen enemy scouts rushed past Dawenkou. Soon, a large group of Qing soldiers trotted to the valley between the two mountains, with people crowding below the mountain.
Seeing this, Li Yuanyin waved his hand and roared angrily: "Cum for me!"
On both sides of the mountain, Liang Jun, who had just arrived, stood up without caring about his fatigue, took a bow and arrow, and raised his musket to shoot.
In an instant, arrows on both sides were raining, and the Qing army screamed repeatedly, with heavy casualties.
