Chapter 169: Burning the company for the moon
The Ming army walked up the river and walked for a long time to dock next to the dense forest in Zhao Xiaoliu's mouth.
There is a dense forest cover here, and large warships will not be easily discovered even if they dock.
Zheng Chenggong sent a large number of sentries to investigate. As expected, as Zhao Xiaoliu said, there were a large number of Qing troops stationed not far from the dense forest.
Judging from the number of camps, the Qing army had at least tens of thousands of people.
With so many troops stationed here, it seems that Mangdoni has transferred all the troops from Anqing Mansion and ambushed the Ming army with all his bets.
Zheng Chenggong had no fear at all.
Not to mention that his troops are more powerful than Mang and Dhoni, he would not be afraid even if he is less.
This army was brought up by him and he was absolutely loyal to him.
Zheng Chenggong was very confident that he would defeat the Qing army in one fell swoop.
What's more, they took the lead this time and had no reason to fail at all.
According to Zheng Chenggong's order, the Ming army first picked up some dead wood branches in the dense forest and poured tung oil on them.
After the tung oil is poured, these dead trees are very easy to ignite and can quickly burn the Qing army's tent.
According to Zhao Xiaoliu's suggestion, it is best to attack at night.
Because the Qing army was relatively relaxed in defense at night and even late at night, it was easy to have the effect of unexpected attacks.
Zheng Chenggong adopted his suggestion and ordered the entire army to take a temporary rest in the dense forest.
This dense forest is really big, even if all Zheng Chenggong's army is stationed in, it will not be discovered.
With this natural hidden body, all Zheng Chenggong had to do was to wait until it was dark before leading the army out in one fell swoop.
Damn Tartars, bullying the people of the Ming Dynasty, will you pay the price today!
...
...
The sky finally turned dark. The stars hung on the painted black sky, flashing.
Zheng Chenggong glanced at the army that was raising energy and issued an order for a night attack.
To ensure unexpected results, Zheng Chenggong ordered the soldiers to tie a piece of cloth on their feet so that there would be no sound that would be difficult to detect when running.
Then, you have to hold a piece of paper during the marching, which is to ensure that the soldiers will not shout.
Everything is for the effect of the night attack. Zheng Chenggong has to do his best in one battle, but he doesn't want to come for the second time.
Zhao Xiaoliu and others were naturally eager to try, but Zheng Chenggong was afraid that they would not have combat experience to affect the night attack, so he ordered them to stay behind.
Zhao Xiaoliu was naturally a little disappointed.
But since the Guo family said this, he naturally had to obey it.
The Guo surname is their savior, so they can't fight against the Guo surname.
Staying here honestly is the greatest support for the Guoxian Master!
However, Zheng Chenggong was wearing silver armor and led a large army to attack the Qing army camp.
This is the third day, and it is the most sleepy time of the day. At this time, people are in a state of sleep and will not wake up easily.
Ming Jun had already rested in advance and was in good spirits at this moment.
After they rushed into the Qing army camp, they threw the torches in their hands towards the Qing army camp tent.
"Burn you turtle grandchildren to death!"
"Go to die!"
At this moment, the Ming soldiers no longer have to hold back and vent their anger.
Zheng Chenggong was very happy when he saw the Qing army camp igniting fire.
Burn, burn!
Burn it all the way.
It's better to burn this place into a mess.
Gradually, some Qing soldiers woke up from the fire.
Before they could put on their pants, they rushed out and were killed by the Ming army like a chicken.
Some of them were even burned into firemen.
In extreme panic, the Qing soldiers even trampled.
They pushed each other and trampled on each other caused great chaos.
The torch was poured with tung oil and quickly ignited when it encountered the tent.
Since the Qing military camps were all tied together, the fire spread was simply uncontrollable.
Soon, Mang Erdoni was also awakened by the sky-sky fire and walked out of the coach's tent surrounded by his personal soldiers.
Although the fire has not spread here yet, it is faster at this speed.
Rydoni gritted his teeth in anger, but there was no good way.
Although the Qing army camp was leaning against the river, it was too late to get water to put out the fire.
He was too careless and felt that the Ming army would not attack with fire when stationed on the riverside.
Now it was so bad that I was so vicious.
"General, why not withdraw now."
Seeing that Mangdoni had not made a decision for a long time, the personal soldiers suggested helplessly.
Although withdrawing troops is a bit harmful to morale, it is definitely impossible to continue fighting in this state.
But Mang Erdoni shook his head and said, "Even if he wants to withdraw, it is not going to retreat now. If the general's general's flag moves, the army will be in chaos. At least part of the army should be gathered before making plans. Pass on my general's order and beat the drums to prepare to face the enemy!"
Of course, Mang Erdoni didn't want to really fight the Ming army to the death.
His troops were below Zheng Chenggong. He originally wanted to ambush Zheng Chenggong but was attacked by the Ming army at night.
In this case, he will not have any advantage.
He just wanted to gather the defeated soldiers as much as possible by beating drums.
When the soldiers heard the drums, they would instinctively come to gather.
People follow the crowd from time to time, especially at the critical moment of life and death.
As much as you can gather, what you can gather together, at this moment, what Mangdoni thinks is no longer winning, but preserving his strength as much as possible.
...
...
"Kill me, kill the enemy and serve the country!"
Under the command of the generals, the Ming army rushed into the Qing army camp where the flames were soaring into the sky.
They waved their swords and chopped the Qing soldiers running out naked to the ground.
There was spraying blood everywhere, and the air was filled with a bloody smell.
The smell is mixed with the charred corpse stinking smell, which is disgusting.
In Zheng Chenggong's view, the morale of the Qing army had completely collapsed at this time.
What the Ming army had to do was to harvest as much as possible and to eliminate the vitality of the Qing army.
He also knew that it was impossible to completely annihilate the enemy in this battle, but he must expand his advantage to infinite size.
This way the advantages can be transformed into victory.
As an elite Ming army, the Iron Man Army rushed forward in one fell swoop.
They were covered in armor, and even if they encountered the resistance Qing army, they would not be threatened at all.
On one side are the naked Qing soldiers, and on the other side are the Iron Man Army armed to the teeth. The strength of the two sides is too different.
In a moment, all the Qing soldiers who wanted to resist were killed.
But the Ironman Army had no time to harvest the heads, but continued to pursue and advance.
They heard drums sounding in the distance. It was probably because the Qing army commander was gathering the defeated soldiers?
They did not intend to give each other a chance to gain a foothold, and they would take advantage of the chaos to swallow these Tartars in one bite.
"Avenge your revenge on the dead brothers, avenge your revenge on the dead people, and kill the Tartars!"
The Iron Man soldier's eyes were full of anger and hatred, and his anger filled his chest with huge energy burst out.
"Kill all the Tartars and take down Anqing Mansion!"
