Chapter 85: Ambush and Counter-Ambush
The most fundamental reason why the Qingshui Sect became interested in the palace of Weijiazhuang was that it wanted to transfer some Qing troops out.
Not far from Weijiazhuang, more than a thousand elite soldiers were waiting (ambush).
As long as Yang Jingsu was willing to divide his troops, Yang Lei, who was leading the troops in front of Weijiazhuang, would dare to defeat and lead the Qing army into an ambush circle.
If you win this way, the morale of the Qing army will naturally shrink, and the morale of the Rebels will definitely rise sharply.
As the rebels turned around and went east, Wang Lun's "big talk" in his past when he was conducting faith propaganda began to go bankrupt one by one. The rebels did not suffer any defeats all the way east, but the morale of the soldiers was declining day by day.
Of course, Wang Lun wanted to turn this around.
Then winning as many battles as possible becomes the only choice!
This was something he had expected before. He did not choose to fight the Qing army to the death in Linqing, but led his army eastward. Can he not know the consequences of all this?
Unfortunately, the Qing troops who could fight in the west did not come, but came a group of mobs in the north.
Yang Lei didn't even need to help Wang Pu and Yan Jiren behind him, leaving behind a hundred people to look at the palace, and led four hundred people to easily destroy the Wuda Sutra Division.
When Wu Sanniang saw the Qing army coming from the north, she was quite nervous. Didn’t this prepare a table of meals and two groups of guests come? But with the defeat of the Wu Dajing tribe, the Qing army in the west still disappeared. Although Wu Sanniang was still anxious, the anxiety was completely different from the previous anxiety.
I was anxious and nervous before because I was afraid that the Qing army in the west would arrive at the right time, so Yang Lei was attacked from both sides.
The anxiety now is, why haven’t the Qing army arrived in the west yet?
"This person surnamed Yang is so bold. How dare you ignore the emperor's palace?"
The sky gradually became darker, and Wu Sanniang gave up completely, but she still felt a little disbelief.
That's the emperor's palace.
In her eyes, shouldn’t all the things that stick to the emperor’s side be a major event? Why is Yang Jingsu so naive?
Zhao Liang smiled when he heard this. Weijiazhuang Palace seemed very awesome to ordinary people, and even Zhao Liang thought Weijiazhuang Palace was really awesome.
This place is not only where Qianlong stayed during his two southern tours, but also where Kang Mazi, the grandfather whom Qianlong admired the most, settled during his six southern tours.
There have been more than eight times here, including back and forth, and there have been many trips.
The "political and historical significance" of Weijiazhuang Palace has far exceeded its actual value.
Is it royal?
If the palace was occupied by bandits and burned out with fire, would it really make Qianlong feel that the royal face and majesty were damaged?
So, will Yang Jingsu really ignore it?
There was also doubt in Zhao Liang's smile!
"Is Yang Jingsu really more courageous?"
Although judging from the scenes on both sides, it is not a mistake to not come to divide the troops to take care of a royal palace with little strategic significance.
But many times, things don’t just depend on right or wrong.
"grown ups?"
Zhengding Town General Wan Chaoxing clasped his fists and said to Yang Jingsu. It’s time, do you still have to wait?
The bandits are all preparing to retreat from Dawenkou Town...
Thousands of Qing soldiers from Zhengding Town looked at the Qingshui Doctrine Army returning home with a load, and felt that the other party was too polite. They were so tired and packed all the valuable spoils in the town and taught them. Is that really polite?
They were already eager to accept it.
Although they could only get a small portion of the trophy below, there were also a small portion of them, including the great masters of Fantai and the Lord of the General Town, and the rest of them were also needed to give the Eight Banners soldiers who were camping together today.
But this still makes the soldiers of Zhengding Town happy.
You know, the thief army below all returned with full loads, and were unprepared. Who would have expected that they had sent troops after receiving the letter, but Lord Fantai took them around and left the Weijiazhuang Palace to outside Dawenkou Town.
The bandits and soldiers were not prepared at all. If they continued to kill, it would be a waste of military achievements. The court would have to commend the merits in the future.
Moreover, they just ambushed outside Dawenkou Town, which was much easier than the Eight Banners soldiers who were drilling into the woods.
The latter was the famous soldiers of the Jianrui Camp of Xishan, the most elite group of people among the Eight Banners. In the 13th year of Qianlong, Gan Xiaosi was appointed as an elite group of Eight Banners to organize in order to quell the first rebellion of Jinchuan chieftains.
Before, Shuhede was ordered to go south and led a thousand elite soldiers stationed in the Eight Banners in Beijing, half of which were the soldiers of the Jianrui Camp of Xishan. At this moment, these people were all hiking in the woods in the distance.
They are also waiting for Qingshui to teach people!
Because after receiving the news that Dawenkou Town was attacked and Weijiazhuang Palace was attacked, Yang Jingsu immediately sent troops, and brought the Zhengding soldiers who were "can conquer and fight well" and the "extremely brave" Jianrui Camp soldiers, he felt something was wrong immediately.
Then the former is quite normal. It can prepare all kinds of materials needed for the thief army. What can the latter do?
The palace is just a small-scale palace.
It is only a little over a mile, like a large manor. Men, women, young and old, and dozens of people are waiting for it. How much oil can I squeeze?
Although there are some royal supplies inside, which may be really attractive to Wang Lunyan, with the little manpower in the palace, it is impossible to resist the attack of the thieves.
But the news reported was that the thief army had been besieging the palace for a long time and never came out.
There is something wrong here!
Yang Jingsu immediately woke up. While asking someone to mail the gentry around Dawenkou Town to continue to pay close attention to the situation in the palace and inquire about the news of the thief army, the other side changed the direction of the march.
The goal is to change Weijiazhuang to Dawenkou Town!
Yang Jingsu's grandfather Yang Jie was an admiral, and his father Yang Zhu was a general. Although he had taken the civil service route, he was also from a military and martial arts family. He had read a lot of military books since he was a child, and was even given a call from his grandfather and his father.
In the current situation, the palace is obviously a pit!
He didn't understand the news clearly, how could he lead his army to rush over?
Then news came one after another, and everything seemed to be clear after summarizing it.
The number of bandits from Dawenkou Town to Weijiazhuang was as high as one or two thousand, and it was obviously wrong with the hundreds of bandits outside the palace.
That palace is really a trap!
The hundreds of people on the surface were bait. Although they completely defeated the reinforcements from Tai'an Mansion, except for asking Yang Jingsu to curse Xu Ji's waste in his heart again, it was not shaken at all.
When they finally deviated outside Dawenkou Town, no trace of the defeated soldiers in Qilu could be seen. The Green Camp in Zhengding Town began to hurry up and rest, while the people from the Jianrui Camp in Xishan were sent by Yang Jingsu to lurk in the woods.
Just like Qingshui taught his men to attack the Qing army, Yang Jingsu also wanted to attack an ambush on the rebels. And it was not just an ambush on the Dawenkou rebels...
