Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 230
"Commander, Heights 62 and 109 have been captured by the 102nd Regiment. The 102nd Regiment suffered some losses in the previous attack and the battle just now, with 26 casualties."

Su Shuhuan nodded and said nothing, such a loss was within the normal range.The Restoration Army of the Ming Dynasty had fought many tough battles since its founding, but the actual losses in each battle were minimal, and it even created the myth of several victory without any injuries and the occupation of the city with zero attrition.This is obviously an advantage brought about by military technology beyond the times, and there is nothing worthy of special praise.

If there is a war, people will definitely die. Both His Royal Highness and Commander Su Shuhuan are very aware of this.But how to make this sacrifice meaningful, how to make the battle gain the greatest result with the least loss, is all knowledge.

Su Shuhuan, as the B-level battle commander under Bai Mingxiu, is even more proficient in strategizing on the scale of a large battlefield.Although his enemy is the weak Qing army, Su Shuhuan will still go all out.Even if it is an enemy whose strength is comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty Fuguo Army, Su Shuhuan is also good at coercion.

This is written in his character panel. Su Shuhuan, who looks more like a Confucian general, has the characteristic "Steel Penetration". The impact force of the troops he leads is increased by 10%, and he is good at breaking through the enemy's solid defense line in the field. .

In short, Su Shuhuan is a general who is good at attacking.After Bai Mingxiu stayed in the General Staff Headquarters for a period of time, he was placed in the army as the commander of the military region. With Bai Mingxiu basically not intervening, Su Shuhuan quickly prepared the strength of the East China Military Region and acted as the main force. Launched an attack on Huguang.

After taking down two hills, the Ming army has stabilized the defense on the side of Wushengguan, and will no longer be attacked by the artillery fire of the Qing army. This also shows that the Qing army is still too new in terms of defense, even if it is Dabie Mountain The mountains in the area are undulating and connected with each other, but they are still not good at forming a defensive front, unlike what the Ming army did in Yunnan and Guizhou, turning the mountains into their own fortresses, impregnable and unshakable !

Su Shuhuan's staff quickly formulated a new combat plan, and the Ming army made new deployments around the valley area of ​​the Dabie Mountains north of Wusheng Pass.

"The engineering troops are stepping up to clear Wusheng Pass. We need more artillery to pass through. At the same time, various troops will coordinate at multiple points to seize favorable high ground and launch a comprehensive attack on the Qing army. We need to clear a safe marching route, leading directly to the Central Plains to wipe out the last viable force of the Qing army in Huguang." At the final battle mobilization meeting, Su Shuhuan gave instructions to his senior officers.

The Qing army made it clear that it had to rely on the terrain of the valleys and peaks to limit the use of the Ming army's advanced weapons, but the battles fought by the Qing army were still dull and deadly battles, and they were not flexible enough.Thirty to forty thousand Qing troops were scattered in the Dabie Mountains, occupying different hilltops, setting up some specious fortifications, and even preparing to fight guerrillas.Zhou Chang and Zhou Peigong were instructing the battle in the Dabie Mountains. He managed the generals of the green battalion as a scholar, and he was quite skillful.

The Jingnan general, Murima, completely abandoned this part of the Qing army. After Zhou Chang designed the Dabie Mountain defense line, Murima praised him greatly, and then brought the [-] Banner soldiers (including Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of Mongolia), as well as the [-] generals of the Green Battalion as an attached army, ran to Henan.

At least at this point in time, whether it is Xiaozhuang or Aobai, they all have a high degree of consensus, that is, the hardcore crops of the Eight Banners cannot afford to be consumed, especially Manzhou Erlang, who can no longer make Nanming Prince Jianguo Zhu Cixuan look like cutting leeks He cut off his head completely.

Bai Mingxiu made a big fuss, which was an absolute disaster for the already sparsely populated Manchu ruling group. From Yunnan to Jiangnan, Bai Mingxiu erected seven head monuments and buried a total of more than 12 heads. Head.You must know that the Qing army had a total of 15 troops when it entered the customs. Two-thirds of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners of Mongolia were recruited, and all the Eight Banners of the Han army were recruited. The actual total combat strength of the Eight Banners was only about [-] in the early years of Kangxi. , this still counts all the Manchu, Mongolian and Han bannermen.Bai Mingxiu casually killed nearly one-third of their young and strong population, and even sent a large number of family members of the bannermen in the south to Java.If Bai Mingxiu is allowed to play like this again, the Jianzhou Jurchens of Tietie will be exterminated.

Therefore, in the strategy of Manchu Qing, there was an obvious and more radical change of using Han to control Han, withdrawing the Eight Banners and returning to its core ruling area of ​​Gyeonggi, which was a slightly conservative but sensible enough change.

Even though Hong Chengchou was on the sick bed, he still wrote to the Qing court, suggesting that the court use "loyal men" from all provinces to develop Han armed forces loyal to the Qing court, and use landlord regiments to train armed forces on the basis of the green battalion to fight against the Southern Ming Dynasty.Auxiliary measures are to publicize Nanming's monstrous deeds in the public opinion, especially to divide the conflict between the gentry class and Nanming, and win people's hearts for his own use.

However, the Qing court was still a little hesitant about this. After all, if the Han people formed an armed force, they did not want to oppose the Ming Dynasty but wanted to follow the Southern Ming Dynasty against the Qing Dynasty, and it would be even more troublesome.

No one expected that such a thriving new dynasty would be unified only a few months before being stabbed like a broken house by the revived Ming Dynasty.Officials and gentry who had already given up their minds to follow the Manchu Qing, at this time some people's hearts fluttered.

At this time, Zhou Peigong, who was eating the wind and drinking the dew in the Dabie Mountains, could not see the precariousness of the Qing Dynasty. Even his benefactor Hong Chengchou would actually die soon.He has a great sense of Zhuge Kongming's desolation in Wuzhangyuan.

"Originally I thought it was a hero who had a useful place, but I didn't want to end up mistakenly surrendering to the Lord. Now I can only try my best to repay the court and Ming Gong for their kindness." Zhou Peigong stood on Jigong Mountain, wearing a long mandarin jacket, looking at The Ming army, which was constantly increasing its troops, sighed.

In his heart, Zhou Peigong also thought about whether he could join Nanming himself, but he knew that Nanming inspected the officials who joined the Qing court in layers, and had to re-educate and reform him. Even if he was able to re-employ, at best he would become a slave-like character.

How can it be like now that I am a scholar commanding an army of [-] to [-], standing on an important stage that will determine the dominance of the land of China for the next century.Although he is a frail scholar, he has the ambition of being a man in his heart.

"It's not a loss in this life!" Zhou Peigong laughed loudly.

It's just that he never dared to think about it, being a traitor is really shameful.
