Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 237
In this harsh natural environment, not only can everyone not see the enemies in front of them clearly, but they can't even use firearms.

But this is nothing to the veterans who have experienced countless deaths. It is just that the environment is a little worse, but so what, can you choose a place that suits you and fight slowly?

If this is the case, would you like to take an intermission, have a cup of tea, and have a meal?
Fighting desperately against the enemy in all kinds of harsh environments, vowing to kill the enemy with one's last breath, this is the most real aspect of war.

"Your Majesty, the yellow sand is all over the sky, and the soldiers can't see clearly, so they can't fight anymore." After realizing that their vision was covered by the yellow sand and their eyes were completely dark, Liu Fangliang and other generals in command found Li Zicheng.

They feel that in this situation, the best thing to do is to withdraw their troops as soon as possible, otherwise they will have no way to command the army on a pitch-dark battlefield. Seeing himself defeated by the Qing army.

Or they don't even know what's wrong, they lose the battle in a daze, or even their own troops kill each other, this is all possible.

Originally, Li Zicheng's army was not monolithic. Like the Ming army, there were many factions in his army, because the composition of his army was very complicated.

There is the old battalion who has been following Li Zicheng, and the peasant army of Luo Rucai, Lao Huihui and others. The difference between them is huge, and there are many contradictions.

It's just that now is the initial stage of entrepreneurship, so everyone can put aside conflicts and join hands to fight against the enemy.

But if the eyes are pitch black, it is unavoidable to be unable to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. At that time, even if the knife cuts the wrong person, it will be excusable.

And without the restraint of the chief, it is hard to say how they will intensify the conflict in private.

"Why can't we fight? You can always see clearly what is ten feet away. As long as you are not blind, you can fight." Li Zicheng's tone was very firm, and he could hear that if today's battle did not produce a result, he would Never give up.

The distance of ten feet away is about 33 meters, and the visible distance is only so small. The environment is very harsh, even on Mars.

"Give me an order to tell the soldiers not to be shy, just kill them. With the help of the Ming army, we will definitely be able to kill the Qing army's lair." Li Zicheng said proudly.

Although the generals didn't want to fight anymore, they could only obey Li Zicheng's order after hearing Li Zicheng's order. After all, he was Emperor Dashun Yongchang, the monarch of these people.

So the soldiers of the Shun Army fought alone on this dark battlefield where they couldn't see their fingers. Without the command of their superiors, they could only form small-scale battle groups one after another, fighting bloody battles with the Qing army in this dark environment.

Of course, they were not the only ones who did this. Zhu Cihong's Ming army and Duoduo's Qing army also adopted this method, delegating command power to the hands of grassroots officers and giving full play to their subjective initiative.

After all, in this era, the most important observation method, naked eye vision, and the most important communication method, flags, are all useless because of the yellow sand all over the sky.

No matter how powerful a person is, limited by the technical conditions of this era and the current battlefield environment, he can only command soldiers within his sight and within a dozen meters around him.

And this, at most, is the number of soldiers that a general banner can command.

Although the environment is harsh, the fighting spirit of the soldiers on both sides has not been affected by it. On the contrary, the soldiers on both sides have more enthusiasm for fighting because of the delegation of command to the grassroots.

It means that they can fight the enemy in the way they like, and can cooperate with friendly forces more flexibly.

But in this way, the battle of the armies of all parties will be completely disorderly, and it will become a bloody mutual hacking.

Because the space on the battlefield is narrow, and there is no superior to command them to move around and make some tactical and strategic plans.

They can only move forward and cut down all the creatures in front of them. Either the creatures in front of them will fall down, or they will fall down.

In the darkness, countless Ming troops fell every moment, and then more Ming troops filled their positions and continued to fight in the direction of the Qing army camp.

I don't know how long it took, but finally a gust of southeast wind blew away the yellow sand covering everyone's heads, and returned the long-lost light to hundreds of thousands of people in Ming, Qing, and Shun.

At this moment, Shi Kefa beside Zhu Cihong was surprised to find that the Ming army had already approached the Qing army's camp, and the Qing army had no power to fight back under the attack of the Ming army and the Shun army. , straight back to the point of no return.

"Your Majesty, the defeat of the Qing army has already been revealed, and we will win immediately." Shi Kefa excitedly said to Zhu Cihong.

But something unexpected happened to him. Zhu Cihong actually assembled an elite cavalry team with a number of about [-].

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" They were sure of winning this battle, and Shi Kefa couldn't understand why Zhu Cihong did this.

"I'm going to attack and burn down the Qing army's camp, leaving them nowhere to retreat, and making them beggars. Today next year will be Hauge's death day." Zhu Cihong said to Shi Kefa proudly.

Zhu Cihong also understood that the Ming army had the chance to win, and with the cooperation of the Shun army, they would be able to win a big victory in no time.

But Zhu Cihong felt that this was not enough, not enough to deal a major blow to the Qing army, so that they would never have any ambitions to get involved in the Central Plains.

Only by breaking the backbone of this wild dog, Mi Qing, can Zhu Cihong be satisfied, and Zhu Cihong can be relieved.

So he decided to burn down the camp of the Qing army and burn all their food and supplies. In this way, they were completely finished. Without food and supplies, they would die within a few days on the Tongguan battlefield.

Although the Qing army came from outside the Great Wall, for such a large-scale battle, they could not use the supply method of looting by nomadic troops. Even if they could, there was no such condition nearby for them to loot.

Tongguan was originally sparsely populated. After experiencing famine, floods and droughts in the late Ming Dynasty, natural disasters and man-made disasters, the population was even sparser like a primitive society.

In fact, the supply method of the Qing army was almost the same as that of the Ming army and the Shun army. They both hoarded a large amount of food and grass in their barracks, and at the same time, there were supply lines extending from the rear to continuously provide them with supplies.
