Chapter 540 Thunder Showdown (5)

?When the fierce battle east of the canal was fierce, the war west of the canal was in full swing.

Let’s talk about Ajige and Abatai worried that Dorgon had made mistakes, so they hurriedly turned to the southeast, trying to attack the Second and Third Army of the Xiongwei Army with Dorgon’s army.

After receiving the report, Dorgon was so anxious that he jumped straight away, hoping to tie Ajige and Abatai to the outside of the tent and behead him. He couldn't help but curse: "Don't you! Damn it! More than ten thousand spirits are riding outside the encirclement. Wouldn't the hope of the army breaking through the encirclement even greater?"

Dorgon ordered Ajige and Abatai to turn around immediately, break through the defense line of the Shenji Legion and standby after standing by.

Obviously, Dorgon's anger was unnecessary. Even if Ajige and Abatai didn't say anything, they would directly attack the Divine Machinery Legion, and they would eventually be attacked by the Cavalry Army. Although they would not be defeated, at least the possibility of breaking through was almost zero.

When Ajige and Abatai turned around and attacked the Shenji Legion again, they finally found the traces of the Cavalry Army. Ajige was shocked and hurriedly reported the situation to Dorgon.

Dorgon was three years younger than Lin Chunhong. His years of battle and the wind and snow in Liaodong made him look older than ordinary people. He was worried and thoughtful these days, which made him look twenty years older, and his temples actually showed a trace of whiteness.

After receiving Ajige's report, Dorgon finally had to admit that the Western Army was in a desperate situation like the Eastern Army. At this time, Dorgon completely calmed down.

When Dorgon's recent military situation was rising, he realized that the so-called attack on each other by Ni Chong and the Second Army of the Pili Legion was simply a scene played by Lin Chunhong and Ni Chong. The purpose was to attract him to continue filling the canal and buy time for Lin Chunyi's army to arrive on the battlefield.

In essence, this play can only be considered icing on the cake at most. Even if he sees through Lin Chunhong's tactical deception, it will have little impact on the entire battle situation. Just attack the Pili Legion and cooperate with the Longwu Army. The Cavalry Army kept squeezing Yuetuo to the canal. At most one or two days, the Pili Legion can build a solid city, completely liberate the Dragonwu Army and the Cavalry Army, and throw it into the battlefield west of the canal.

"There must be a way to break the deadlock!"

Dorgon was strong-willed and knew how to make choices, fearing that he would lose confidence and kept encouraging himself.

Just as Dorgon was thinking about the way to break the deadlock, he suddenly received a report: Yue Tuo died of illness in the army. Before his death, he entrusted Babutai as commander. The Mongolian troops and the Han army were dissatisfied. The two sides attacked each other. The Jingzhou army took the opportunity to attack and most of them surrendered.

Although it was expected, the unexpected thing became a fact, which still made Dorgon feel sad. He endured his inner grief and walked around the military tent.

"Report... The Pili Legion crossed the canal and replaced the defense line of the first army of Xiongwei Legion. The First Army carried a large number of military supplies such as shields and chariots to join the Second Army and the Third Army."

After hearing this, Dorgon understood in his heart: the only weakness of moving north and westward has been completely compensated by Lin Chunhong, and breaking north and westward has almost become an impossible thing to do.

Going south?

Dorgon suddenly became excited and suddenly understood the biggest mistake of this battle: he did not use the cavalry to mobilize the enemy's advantages!

"Sent to Abatai..."

Dorgon's tone suddenly became full of energy...

In the city of Dezhou, Lin Chunhong heard that he annihilated 10,505 enemies to the east of the canal and captured 10,200,500,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,600,6

After hearing about Haoge and Duoduo leading more than 2,000 cavalry escaped the siege, he was quite regretful and kept scolding Liu Zeqing and Zhang Gongwei for being incompetent.

Lin Chunhong smiled and comforted: "There are all destruction of tens of thousands of troops, and only more than 2,000 troops left. What's the pity? You know, the biggest disadvantage of the Tartars is that they lack the population. What can they save when they escape back with more than 2,000 defeated troops?"

Zhou Wang was unwilling to accept it and said hatefully: "Two thousand ran to the east, but no one else could be let go in the west. There were 150,000 elite soldiers. If Dorgon could not surround tens of thousands of troops, he would be so embarrassed..."

Lu Shiming shook his head and said, "It's hard to say that in a dozen miles, except for the Xiongwei Legion carrying a shield cart, the other parts, including the Central Plains Army, were left behind. If Dorgon made up his mind, he would still be able to escape thousands of people."

Lin Chunhong also said: "This is the reason. The most important thing is that except for the Xiongwei Legion, the rest of the parts are extremely tired, especially the Central Plains Army..."

Speaking of this, Lin Chunhong suddenly stopped and his face became extremely solemn.

Lu Shiming and Zhou Wang hurriedly asked, "Governor, what are your concerns?"

Lin Chunhong said: "You guys tell me, will Dorgon take advantage of Lin Chunyi's rushing north and suddenly breaking south?"

"Going south? Isn't Dorgon seeking death?"

Lu Shiming and Zhou Wang looked at Lin Chunhong in surprise, not understanding why Lin Chunhong had such an idea.

Lu Shiming continued: "Governor, if Dorgon goes south, even if he can break through Lin Chunyi's defense line, the damage will be severe. Our army will pursue the cavalry and Longwu Army, and the rest of the troops will calmly deploy defenses. Wouldn't Dorgon be dead?"

Lin Chunhong shook his head and said, "The advantage of cavalry lies in large-scale maneuver combat. If Dorgon breaks through, it will be five or six hundred miles from the canal line to Taihang Mountain. It is easy for Dorgon's cavalry to find a gap to drill out."

Zhou Wang and Lu Shiming looked at each other and thought: How large is it to be for a large-scale maneuver? Hundreds of miles, thousands of miles? In this way, wouldn’t the hundreds of miles west of Dezhou be affected by the war?

Lin Chunhong frowned and thought for a moment, and ordered: "No matter what, I will immediately send Lin Chunyi to stop advancing immediately and set up defenses on the spot!"

"Then the order to lead Sheng Kunshan and Wu Tianzhu to lead the Cavalry Army and the Longwu Army to go south immediately to maintain contact with the Tartars!"

After saying that, Lin Chunhong's tone became extremely cold, and he said, "I inform all counties and prefectures within 500 miles nearby that within the past ten days, be sure to guard the city. If anyone surrenders, he will chase them to the ends of the world!"

When Zhou Wang heard this, he said hatefully: "That's what it should be! Since the Tartars moved south, countless surrendered people. The Tartars easily obtained supplies and plundered the population. This order at least let those cordyceps think about the consequences!"

Lu Shiming interrogated: "In this way, it can more or less delay the cavalry of the Tartars...just..."

Lu Shiming stopped talking, Lin Chunhong asked, "What are the concerns about General Manager Lu?"

Lu Shiming bowed and said, "Subordinates believe that since the Tartars want to move on a large scale, we might as well intercept it on a larger scale, for example, sending a unit to Tongzhou..."

When Zhou Wang heard this, he smiled and said, "It's so wonderful that the latest chapter of the South China Sea Storm Record! Three birds with one stone! One, waiting for an opportunity to block the Tatars' way back north; the other, reducing the logistical pressure on land, and the other... Haha, it's just right to station troops in the capital..."

Lin Chunhong also smiled and said, "It's better for General Manager Lu to see far! So, if Dorgon really breaks south, he will help us..."

Lin Chunhong pondered for a moment, then said, "However, Lin Chunyi must not let water go. Whether Dorgon can rush out depends on whether he has the ability!"

...

These are just a plan. Now Dorgon's movements are unknown. Lin Chunhong ordered the Pili Legion, Xiongwei Legion, and Shenji Legion to continuously squeeze Dorgon and Ajige's troops to the southeast to reduce the marching space of Dorgon and Ajige and increase the density of troops on the defense line.

At the same time, Lin Chunhong's order to make Lin Chunyi's defense on the spot had not yet been passed to the Central Plains Army. Lin Chunyi also felt that it was inappropriate to lead a tired army to approach Dorgon, so he ordered the entire army to slow down, use the Tiger Roar Legion to be in the middle, approach Dorgon's army from the north to the south, use the Shengu Army and Xuanwu Army as the left and right wings in the front, and march towards the northwest and northeast respectively.

At the same time, Lin Chunyi ordered the reserve team to transport shield chariots and other supplies to the front line as soon as possible.

Less than half an hour after Lin Chunyi's military order was issued, Dorgon and Ajige led their troops to attack suddenly, and the battle to break out west of the canal broke out.

Tens of thousands of iron hooves, like heavy hammers, hit the earth hard, and the earth was trembling. The rumbling iron hooves were more shocking than the sudden drum sound, causing the hearts of the warriors of the Divine Guard Legion to beat violently.

"Array!Array!"

Among the three armies of the Divine Guards, the lower-level officers were screaming at the top of their lungs and instructing the warriors to enter the position. The impatient officer even kicked the butt of the slow-responsive soldiers to speed up.

Dorgon and Ajige chose to break through the direction of the Divine Guard Army. Fortunately, Lin Chunyi felt keen on the battlefield and took the lead in allowing the Divine Guard Army to break forward in the northwest direction. Otherwise, at least more than half of the Tartars would easily break through the encirclement.

Driven by the lower-level officers, the entire Divine Guard Army finally formed a triangular formation with both offensive and defense, with the First Army as the pointed head and the Second Army and the Third Army as the two wings.

"Woo...woo..."

Under the command of the shrill oxen, the Tartars arranged their formation two miles away from the Divine Guard Legion. After the allocation was settled, the fierce drums suddenly sounded, and the first wave of heavy cavalry jumped out of the array and began to accelerate slowly.

Da...da...da...da...

The frequency of iron hooves is getting faster and faster. The first wave of cavalry is divided into two parts, with more than 3,000 cavalry, and is rushing towards the Divine Guard Legion like a scattered sea.

Seeing the two Tartar cavalry becoming farther and farther apart, and resolutely inserted into the junction between the three armies, Wei Yuexiang cursed: "The Tartars are cunning! Force me to shrink their troops!"

However, Wei Yuexiang had no choice but to spit out a bitter mouth, and immediately ordered the Second Army and the Third Army to prepare to rush out of the cavalry at the joint.

The flag was waving and the drums were sounded. On the five-mile-wide front, the square formations of the two battalions quickly moved towards the reserve position at the bottom of the triangle formation, and together with the reserve, formed the second blocking line.

The spear was like a forest, inserted into the ground with a dazzling bayonet. The muzzle pointed directly in front of him. The soldiers' chests were undulating violently, with their eyes wide open, waiting for the Tartar cavalry to come and die!

The width of the front line is significantly reduced, which can still stop Dorgon. Can Ajige lead his army to flee? Beg for sharing
