Lord of Ming Dynasty

In the front are the Qing generals sent by Mandahai, more than 30 people, and behind them are the horse cavalry of the Manchu general who stayed behind to supervise them. What is horse cavalry? Actually, they are not cavalry, but they march on horseback. When the enemy dismounted to fight as infantry, of course they lived in a bitter cold place like Liaodong. Although they were not cavalry, they were much stronger than these Ming cavalry in the south.

If the more than 2 soldiers were all their troops, they would really dare to fight, but only 2 of the 2000 people were their confidant soldiers, and the rest were composed of Han army flags and green battalion routs. The Han army banner and green battalion soldiers transferred from other places, one of them is in charge of the Han army banner and the other is in charge of the green battalion, but they can't fully control this part of the Qing army's Han troops, so they are feeling very upset and uncomfortable.

It's just because they have never won any battles with the Huaxia Army.

Similarly, they are not optimistic about Man Dahai's reckless military action. The 2 army was beaten and fled in all directions. With more than [-] people, can they beat the Huaxia army?

Of course, they didn't know that what they encountered in front of them was a mere second field brigade of the Huaxia Army, with only 800 people, and the militiamen were only more than 9000 people, so ordinary people were nothing.

Chapter 3 and seven are impenetrable

More than 70 kilometers away from the battlefield that was about to break out, Hong Chengchou was sitting opposite Boluo Belle in the tent of the Chinese army of the imperial family of the Qing army.

Boluobeile is the son of Nurhachi, the ancestor of the Manchus, the third son of Aixinjueluo Abatai, who is the seventh son of Nurhachi, and his mother is the concubine Yiergenjueluo, belonging to Manchuria Zhenglan flag.

Aixinjueluo Boluo (1613-1652), general and clan of the Qing Dynasty, one of the three kings of the early Qing Dynasty.

Of course, because he was hit by the artillery on the city wall of the rebel army commanded by Zhang Qiang in Jinhua Mansion, he was seriously injured, and then went back to recuperate. Later, he led the army several times. History has been a little different since that moment. It is now the end of 1652 Now, he is still alive and kicking, and he can still be appointed to lead the army to support Hong Chengchou's attack on the Huaxia Army.

The two sat facing each other, and Bo Luo said to Hong Chengchou: "Zhang Qiang, we have to be careful, he is very good at defending the city, and now we don't know what's going on in Azig, so we sent a few waves of scouts on the border of Raozhou Prefecture They were all intercepted by the Huaxia Army, we couldn't get any information, how are you doing? How will the infiltrated spy respond?"

Hong Chengchou said: "Back to Baylor, the latest information is seven days ago. At that time, Prince Azig had already been defeated and retreated into the capital of Raozhou. , so we must speed up our march and try to get to Raozhou Fucheng as soon as possible to relieve the siege."

Boluo frowned, "According to our army's current marching speed, it will take at least five days to arrive at the capital city of Raozhou. The main reason is that the marching speed of the Han army is too slow."

Hong Chengchou said: "Back to Baylor, if it was the other Ming army, we could have the cavalry rush and the infantry keep up slowly. However, facing the Huaxia army, after several battles, I found that the Huaxia army is very good at decisive battles and positional warfare. Stubborn exception.

Unlike other Ming soldiers who heard our army coming, they were chaotic first. When our army arrived, their morale was already low, and they were chaotic before fighting.

Except for the few hard bones of Dashun, the Qing army has not yet had a decisive battle with the Ming army with more than tens of thousands of people, but the Huaxia army has already defeated our decisive battle led by a big man like Baylor, whose army is twice as powerful as theirs. He was so careful, so as not to fall into the tricks of the Huaxia Army. "

"Well, you can be considered cautious, but this time we are not like before, where is the Baylor of the Qing Dynasty, the royal family, we have to go all out, you have to let your former army march as soon as possible, let the Han army Don't be lazy, speed up your march, you must break into Raozhou Prefecture within three days, and arrive at the city of Raozhou Prefecture within five days. Otherwise, not only will I not be able to explain to the court, but you will also be killed."

"Yes, yes, the slave must order his subordinates to speed up the march, and try to defeat the Huaxia Army on the border of Raozhou Prefecture in three days, and reach the city of Raozhou Prefecture in five days." Hong Chengchou bent over and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his cuff.

"Where is Mandahai?" Boluo asked.

"Well, Lord Belle, Man Dahai didn't listen to the old minister's persuasion, and took a detour to enter the Raozhou Prefecture with [-] soldiers and horses. He reported to me last night that he was less than [-] kilometers away from the capital city of Raozhou Prefecture. He marched overnight. At this time today, we should have marched another [-] kilometers and approached the capital city of Raozhou."

"Okay, go down and speed up the march." Boluo Belle picked up the teacup on the tea table and drank tea slowly.

Hong Chengchou resigned, and he returned to his marching tent [-] kilometers away.

Without sitting down, he listened to the report from the outside: "Report, make a detailed report, Rao Prefecture has fallen, and the prince's whereabouts are unknown."

"Ah——" Hong Chengchou shook his hand, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and smashed to pieces.

"Quick, quick, the whole army will pull out the camp and speed up the march. Tonight I will spend the night in the border county of Raozhou Prefecture." Hong Chengchou supported the table, breathless, dizzy, and the guards on the side hurried up to help.

In the distance, holding a teacup, Liu Liangzuo sat on the gate of Raozhou Mansion, which had been cleared out and renovated, and sang at the top of his voice:

"I was looking at the city gate--

But it turned out to be soldiers sent by Sima——

How lucky you are to win three cities in a row——

I, Zhuge, are waiting in the enemy tower——

I have neither ambushes nor soldiers..."

Before they finished singing, they heard someone clapping their hands at the door, "Papapapa, my lord is so excited. I'm still singing here—"

"Hahaha, it's Master Zhu, come, sit down and drink tea together." Liu Liangzuo stood up and greeted Brother Zhu.

Brother Zhu sat down, and the two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, looked at the ongoing defense construction outside the city through the window panes of the gatehouse.

At present, the defense project is coming to an end, and the fort four miles away has become the front line. The hundreds of meters around the fort have been cleared and turned into an open space. Many horse traps and horse traps have been added to the open space. There are also passages for the defenders to counterattack. Regardless of the winding passages, if you want to ride your horse straight over, you are looking for death.

The fortifications were reversed. They were originally used for siege to guard against enemies in the city, but now they are used for defense. All the layouts are facing the outside of the city. Of course, the place behind the trenches facing the city has not been dismantled. Waste of the original layout can also prevent the enemy from advancing quickly after occupying these trenches. They have to face these layouts in front of the trenches. These alone can cause them headaches and consume the enemy's strength.

Of course, if the enemy has the upper hand, then it will consume the enemy's time.

If tens of thousands of people want to launch an attack, they will inevitably spend a lot of time in front of these fortifications, so the defenders in the city will have enough time to prepare and think of other ways.

20 troops have to face the attack of 20 Qing troops. It is a joke to say that it is easy to defeat the enemy. Even with modern artillery and modern rifles, it will not take a while to destroy these [-] Qing troops. The only thing that can be done is to use fortifications to delay time.

Zhang Qiang didn't want to stay here. He didn't want to go head-to-head with the Qing army, not because he couldn't beat the Qing army. If more field brigades were sent over, there would be five field brigades, plus the 1st Guards brigade, plus Artillery brigade 1 brigade, plus 3 cavalry brigades, this is nearly 9 troops. If it is counted as more than 4 militiamen, then he has 14 troops, and nearly 15 troops. He can still win.

But the Qing army is actually only more than 3 main troops, and the rest are Han troops. Although there are [-] to [-] bannermen troops that can no longer be called Han people, the rest are Han Ming troops. Faced with such an army, Zhang Qiang didn't want to die. No matter how many people died, they were all Han. The Qing army retreated this time, and in a blink of an eye he could bring hundreds of thousands of Han troops from other places. A little accumulated, one death is one.

Although his tactics are advanced, although his weapons are more advanced than the enemy, they are only half-advanced, and the arquebus cannot throw away the Qing army by a large distance. This will cause him to pay a lot of casualties, even those who Those who died were all soldiers from the cold weapon era. He didn't want to lose too much to the cold weapon troops with cold weapons, knives, swords, halberds, and crossbows. In this way, he would destroy the enemy during the movement and drag the enemy's troops into several pieces. , wiped out piece by piece.

Lao Mao said, concentrate superior forces to destroy a small part of the enemy's forces, turn small victories into big victories, and finally defeat the enemy.

Besides, what he met was Hong Chengchou, a traitor who was unable to display his talents in the Ming Dynasty and did not want to use them in history, but contributed to the Manchu Tartars in the Qing Dynasty. From the information discovered so far, this guy is playing Advance in multiple directions, harass, contain, attack and destroy your own territory from multiple directions. Most of your troops have to stay on the territory, and you cannot let them break into the territory and destroy the prosperity you have built in six years Stable and rapidly developing Huaxia Army territory.

The Chinese have never had this idea of ​​defending against the enemy outside the country. They are only satisfied with regaining the territory that was previously seized by the enemy on their own territory, and then stop, share the credit, and enjoy it. There is no such thing as a 5000-year-old civilization. The kind of majestic atmosphere, such as the sky, the momentum of forging ahead, but more and more satisfied with this little achievement.

It is still the era of the border dynasty. If we wait for 300 years, the world will be united, and the atomic bomb will come out. Then everyone will have to sit down, drink tea and chat to solve the problem. It is difficult, especially the lazy and easy-to-satisfy character of the Chinese, who did not take back the occupied territories in later generations.

Instead, they are satisfied with the dilapidated country, preaching benevolence, justice and morality all day long. As a result, benevolence, righteousness and morality were invaded by other Western cultures, and the destruction was completely clean. Maybe many people in future generations will not be able to tell us about our magnificent 5000-year-old China that we talk about all day long. What is cultural downfall, and what is the core idea?What is the soul?

With this kind of resentment, Zhang Qiang had to retreat with the army and join Hu Kui's first field brigade. While guarding against the army of traitors like Kong Youde, who knew how to use firearms better, he waited for an opportunity to counterattack the enemy.

Here, Brother Zhu and Liu Liangzuo were chatting nonsense, guessing what Zhang Qiang meant by doing this, and asked Liu Liangzuo: "Admiral Liu, how long do you think we have to stay?"

Liu Liangzuo glanced at Brother Zhu, thinking in his heart, isn't he the personal guard captain of Governor Zhang Qiang? The layout, plus our army’s sharp firearms, bows, and crossbows are stronger than the enemy’s. We are also rushing to manufacture bed crossbows and other sharp weapons for defending the city. Therefore, I think the three lines of defense are solid. When we get to the city, I think the governor has already led the army back."

Brother Zhu thought for a while, "That's right, I think it's impenetrable, so when will we withdraw the camp that is more than ten miles away?"

Chapter 3: Vanguard Encounter

This side is calm and rainy, but there are swords drawn, and it will soon be bloody.

Brother Zhu, Zhang Qiang's personal guard, the deputy captain of the Chasseurs, and now the deputy commander of the Seventh Field Brigade of the Huaxia Army. The deputy commander is a post in Xin'an, and it was also Zhang Qiang who came here to monitor Liu Liangzuo's surrender. The old fox and temporarily arranged duties.

Field brigades are all decided by the chief officer. The staff department directly under the brigade headquarters is responsible for arranging marching routes, arranging logistics supplies, arranging combat methods, planning campaigns, sharing the brigade commander's work, but not sharing the brigade commander's rights. This is due to the limitations of this era. Sometimes the so-called staff department of later generations is not too advanced. Especially in the era of border closure in the Ming Dynasty, many staff officers were not required to be responsible for much work.

In many cases, due to poor communication and backward information transmission, many things need to be dealt with by officials in charge. Wars in the cold weapon era are all encounters within half a day, and there is no time to ask for instructions or let the staff plan. The officer needs a lot of power to decide how the battle is fought.

Everyone fights for strength, and whoever has the most brave fighters wins, so let the chief of staff share the power, such a command system for later generations, for the Ming Dynasty, it is simply courting death, it is simply meddling like Chang Kaishen in the later generations , Disorderly command, so that the chief officer below does not know how to fight, and will fail instead.

When Brother Zhu asked this question, Feng Wuyu had already led the troops to fight in a hurry.

When the militiamen and common people were gathered in the middle of the army, and the engineers picked up tools and began to build fortifications, the Qing army had already approached a mile away. Two thousand cavalry may not sound like much, but the momentum they caused was not at all. Small, like thousands of troops, the earth is shaking.

The army that had just gathered back formed a roughly circular defensive prototype, and the enemy rushed over.
