Two days later, the battle officially started! On this long food road from Bijiashan to Tashan, many places defended by the Ming army have received reports... that is, a large number of Qing troops have swarmed in and started to cut off the food road... The turtle has entered the urn!
That being the case, Yang Shanlu and others who have already ambushed are still very excited, haha! Tanzi really got the bait, if so, what are you waiting for! They immediately followed the pre-planned plan-a full attack!
So a whole army of 80,000 attacked together from the pre-ampede location, and then on a vast battlefield that was more than 20 miles long, surrounded the dog tarts who came to cut off the food path!
Only after being surrounded, Yang Shanlu and the others took a breath of air according to the banners of the Tartars reported from various places... I went, they had predicted that there would be many people coming from Tartars this time, but no. I think it's more than doubled than expected! Looking at this posture, at least seven to eighty thousand tartares came... This is no longer a prey, this is a fierce bison!
But even so, Yang Shanlu is very confident, knowing that there are a hundred thousand troops here! (Also add the 20,000 troops guarding the food road) and our army still has the advantage of the terrain (they are surrounded by the dog tarts)
And among them, the most important thing is his 20,000 Xuanjia army! And it's still the 20,000 Profound Armour armed with flintlock guns! (Among the 40,000 Xuanjia army that went out this time, 20,000 people were equipped with flintlocks. In order to ensure victory in the first battle and ensure a good start, Yang Shanlu kept all these 20,000 people.)
In addition, with the cooperation of friendly forces like Yang Guozhu and Cao Bianjiao, Yang Shanlu is confident to win the battle! Even a big victory for the complete annihilation of the Tartars!
As for Dorgon, who was already under siege, when the sentinel reported that he had been surrounded by the Ming army and was besieged by Tuan Tuan, the Rui prince of the dog tarzi was not panicked, but just chuckled and said: "It's okay, this king had expected it a long time ago."
Because of this, it is said that he brought enough people to come this time, including his two white flags, and also equipped with a large number of matchlock guns (that is, after Cheng Meng's change, assisted Tarzi to create an improved bird gun ), so he has to compete with the Ming army this time! See who can have the last laugh! (He was still very unconvinced about the entry battle in Chongzhen's eleventh year)
And as far as the current situation is concerned, he is still very satisfied... because as far as the truncated food road is concerned, it is a genuine food road! Including the many civilian husbands caught on the scene, and the small carts they pushed, all the grains and rice on them were all the food and rice that the Ming army urgently needed, indicating that this knife has been slammed into the Ming army's lifeline!
And the next thing is to see who crashes first! Because according to his experience in many years of warfare, the general rations carried by the Ming army can last for 3 to 5 days. No matter how much it is, it will rely on logistical supplies. Therefore, as long as he can stay here for five days, wait until the Ming army. After running out of food...
(Of course, in the original history, the Ming army was also defeated in this way. After being cut off the food path, it collapsed in just two days.) As for whether Dorgon can stay here for five days, a joke, he did. With almost all the people who came out of the battle last time, can't you stick to it for five days? So my Prince Rui of Qing Dynasty is also full of confidence in this battle!
So next, Dorgon's first thing to do is to stabilize the military's mind (after all, they are now surrounded by the Ming army), that is, he immediately summoned the senior generals of the Qing army and opened a combat meeting.
And what he stated at the beginning was the prediction of the situation on the entire battlefield, and after he finished speaking, there were more than a dozen high-ranking generals (all of them were generals above Gushane Zhen, Gu Shane was really a banner. Military and political officers, who directly obeyed the flag lord), were all very excited. Will they stick to it for five days? Eighty thousand people only need to hold on for five days? Humph...
And next, when it comes to the issue of how to arrange troops, in general, they have to adopt a defensive position (the defensive loss is even smaller), the Ming army will adopt an offensive posture, and they only need to hold on for more than five days to be considered a victory.
But how to abide by the law is still very particular, because according to the intelligence sent by the outposts, the Ming army besieged them not only with a lot of troops, but among them, they also saw the banner that they feared the most... The Xuanjia Army's. Blue background military flag.
And unlike the five-sided flags commonly seen in the Ming army, such as Qinglong and Baihu, the blue-bottomed flag of the Xuanjia Army is what they fear most... The direction of the flag is unstoppable! So who is going to resist the Xuanjia Army's attack now is a question.
However, Dorgon had a countermeasure for this. He looked at the dozens of Gu Shanezhen present, and his expression was very nervous. Dorgon said indifferently: "Please rest assured, everyone, the strongest in the Ming army The first Xuanjia Army will be dealt with by me with two white flags. You only need to deal with other Ming troops."
"The prince is wise!" After listening to these high-ranking generals, they were relieved. They were afraid that Dorgon would arrange their army to fight the Xuanjia Army... because the result was almost predictable. , And this is the best now.
On the contrary, it is Dorgon’s younger brother, the owner of the white flag, Jiangu Shane is really many duo, and I heard a little bit of resentment... Isn’t this uncomfortable for myself? According to his thoughts, he should take advantage of this opportunity to arrange for Zhenglan Flag to go up with a gun. That would be a good thing with two birds with one stone! (Because the two white flags have ambitions to compete for the throne, they must weaken the strength of the Huang Taiji series)
However, Dudor had always followed his brother's words (Dudor was very good at fighting, but was brave and intrepid, and could only follow Dorgon's baton), so even if he was dissatisfied, he could only follow orders.
As for Dorgon, looking at the expressions of the people in the big account, he had other plans... As mentioned earlier, the 80,000 Qing army is still divided into four major parts, among which are the two white flags controlled by Dorgon. There are 30,000 people (that is, all slaves like Aha and co-servants are counted).
In addition, the two red flags that have a good relationship with him, Dorgon, suffered heavy losses in the eleventh year of Chongzhen’s entry battle, so even if all the men who can breathe in the tribe were pulled over, only 20,000 people were put together. , And then a Zhenglan Banner was added, and 15,000 people came, plus 15,000 people from the Mongolian Eight Banners, which made up an army of 80,000.
So even though Dorgon also wanted to take this opportunity to greatly weaken the blue flag, he knew even more that this battle was a battle of national destiny for Ming, and it was not for them! So now is not the time to calculate each other, but to unite sincerely and unite externally!
And to be honest, he didn't think that apart from their two white flags, the other Eight Banners warriors would be opponents of the Xuanjia Army! Therefore, he is doing his part and bravely carrying heavy burdens!
And the effect of Dorgon's doing this is still very good. This time, Zhenglan Qi came to two Gu Shanezhen, and these two people are also very grateful, and said on the spot that they will definitely fight to the end! Live up to the kindness of the prince!
So in the end, the deployment was set, from Beacon Hill to Tashan, on a battlefield with a range of more than 20 miles. They built a position based on the original hills or other favorable terrain, and prepared for the attack of the Ming army. .
Anyway, they have already made it clear... As long as you hold on for five days, that is victory!
(Because by then, the Ming army had already collapsed without fighting!)
The Qing army has completed its combat deployment. At this moment, Yang Shanlu is also leading the 20,000 Xuanjia army, looking for the defensive positions of the two white flags...
Because the current situation is favorable to the Ming army, the 100,000 Ming army regiment surrounded 80,000 Qing army, and the Qing army had no posture to break through at all. It was a sign of actively constructing positions and preparing to carry it to the end! In this way, the Ming army can make adjustments calmly to achieve the best situation!
The reason why Yang Shanlu wanted to find the defensive positions of the two white flags was because according to the information he had, after Cheng Meng’s defiance, the two white flags were in addition to the Wuzhenha Chaoying (the firearms troops controlled by the former Shandong No. 3 Miners). ), the troops equipped with the most improved birdclaws.
Although Yang Shanlu knew that the improved bird blunders were only old equipment they eliminated, but if they encountered other Ming troops, they could still cause serious damage! Therefore, at this critical moment, Yang Shanlu also did his part to provoke the burden-the strongest versus the strongest! See who can have the last laugh!
So after finding the defensive positions of the two white flags, the Twenty Thousand Xuanjia Army began to prepare for the offensive.
Then the friendly army close to the Xuanjia military headquarters is Yang Guozhu. That's right, because in history, Yang Guozhu was finally killed in the battle of Songshan, and the loyal minister and good general fell on Songshan! So this time, in order to avoid Yang Guozhu's death in battle like in history, Yang Shanlu arranged him by his side, and the two armies were close together, and he took good care of him.
It’s Yang Guozhu himself, who doesn’t know what’s going on, but he feels very honored to be able to fight side by side with the Xuanjia Army again, and before preparing for the attack, they have already made an agreement... to see who will attack the dog Danzi first. Of the position!
On the afternoon of September 16, the 14th year of Chongzhen, the first battle between Ming and Qing, and the battle of a large group of nearly 200,000 people, officially broke out!
On the vast battlefield from Bijia Mountain to Tashan Mountain, there was a sound of fighting everywhere... Of course, the fiercest and most critical one was the contest between the Xuanjia Army and the two white flags! Or it can be said that this is the most powerful contest between the Ming and Qing Dynasties!
And it has to be said that after the defeat of Chongzhen in the 11th year of Chongzhen, Dorgon learned from the pain, the two white flags became more and more difficult to deal with under his *. For example, the two white flags this time, they not only set up their posture according to the usual He also set up a square circle, using the tactics learned from Sun Tzu's art of war, to deal with the Ming army-the strength of the barbarians to control the barbarians!
The so-called square circle formation means that the main general is located in the center of the formation, and the outer forces are deployed layer by layer, with spears (of course now changed to modified birdclaws), bows and arrows, and mobile forces inside, so as to provide a tenacious defense.
And this kind of square circle formation is most suitable for fighting with superior enemy forces. The square circle formation is close in formation, and full of resilience. It can defend the attack of the strong enemy to the maximum, so I have to say that Dorgon is indeed a very difficult opponent!
It's just a pity, what they met today was a super army! It is an invincible and invincible Xuanjia army since it became an army! So their ending...
And in order to prepare for this national war, this time the battle to determine the national destiny of the two sides, Yang Shanlu had made preparations as early as a year ago, so let alone now—the Xuanjia Army officially came to the battle!
Ps bowed to thank book friend scjosdu for the 588 reward! I also took a look at it, and I've been rewarding it for a few days! This kind of support is nothing to report, only four horseshoes are desperately typing on the keyboard to return it...
In addition, to be honest, it is tiring to write about this kind of battle. Before looking up the map, Bai Macha’s horse’s neck was stretched, and there was some pain at first, so can you appreciate a few flowers? So that this horse can fill up the neck of the horse... (Flowers are also considered forage, right...) (End of this chapter)
