After another two days, the army had already come to Xingshan, not far from Jinzhou.
(That is, Goudazi has built two lines of defense around Jinzhou, the first line of defense, Rufeng Mountain, Huangtuling line, the second line of defense, Songshan line of defense, these two lines of defense have the fortifications built by Goudazi relying on the mountains. , And then you can go directly to Jinzhou).
Moreover, the morale of the 130,000 army is very high, and all kinds of materials and food rates are very abundant... Because after the previous food passage was reopened, all kinds of food materials in the rear were brought in continuously, and this intensity was Unprecedented! The entire rear is very supportive!
Because since the Bijiashan victory was passed back to the rear, the entire capital, including the Beizhili area, has been a sensation... The lanterns and colorful lights, the empty streets of all people, and the happy new year! One hundred thousand tartars were wiped out in World War I. Since the founding of the kingdom, has there ever been such a big victory!
Coupled with the timely cooperation of the Daming Times (Li Yan Li Gongzi is still very talented in propaganda. In the original history, he was able to compose all kinds of catchy nursery rhymes to create momentum for Li Zicheng, such as "Kill the cow" Sheep, prepare wine syrup, opened the gates to welcome the King Chuang, and the King Chuang came and did not pay for the food. I confuse I don’t know how many people, but now I have gone to the Master to be useful, not to mention it.) .
So with the detailed introduction of the entire page of the Ming Times, including the specific number of people annihilated, the numbers of the various Qing troops, and the number of Qing military officials killed... What kind of prince, Gushan Ezhen, etc. They are listed one by one, so that people can understand clearly at a glance, and they are completely different from the previous post reports that were only known to the upper level. (There was no such newspaper for the grassroots level before.)
So with the release of the new edition of the Daming Times, it is all Luoyang paper expensive! Not only those who are literate rush to buy it (Yang Shanlu doesn't make money anyway, a meat bun can read the newspaper for ten days).
Even the poor people who are illiterate are begging those who are literate to read to them-because although they are illiterate, they also know to care about such national events! Knowing that if they don’t hurt the tartars and destroy them, they still have to enter the customs frequently and take away their food, *their wives and children! But now
So after such a great victory spread throughout Beizhili, after knowing that more than half of the enemy was wiped out in World War I, the entire rear area is now full of enthusiasm. Not only those civilians who transport food on the official roads, but also run more vigorously, even There are many ordinary people who are actively donating food and materials-to support the national war!
Because it is very clear on the Da Ming Times that this is a battle for the fortunes of the nation! The battle of life and death! Therefore, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country!
For me, Daming Jiangshan is no longer regarded as a racetrack for the Tartars, for my Han Chinese people will no longer be plundered by the Tartars, and become the two-legged sheep in their mouths! In order for my Han Jiangshan to no longer suffer from the Tartars and encroachment, the people are treated as livestock after being captured by the Tartars! All people must donate their strength!
Therefore, under the situation of great victory outside and propaganda inside, the entire Beizhili area was mobilized... Including the grain road from Shanhaiguan to Tashan, the people who came and went were really in an endless stream (carrying food in small carts, There are also various military supplies)-Ten thousand people are running!
Even this kind of grand occasion can be compared to the Huaihai War of later generations, and I still remember the Huaihai War of later generations. According to a great man, it was launched by ordinary people with a small cart—a Huaihai war launched by a small cart!
And now, it is also necessary to rely on the shoulders of these tens of thousands of civilians (including thousands of people who come spontaneously) to launch one victory after another! As long as we the Chinese nation can be united in one mind and share the same hatred, then there will be no difficulty that can stop us! The Chinese nation will stand tall among the nations of the world! And by no means a barbarian outside the Great Wall can stop it!
So with such a strong rear material support (the various materials sent, and even the cloth shoes that the women donated one by one, are donated free of charge!), the Ming army on the expedition will have no worries about the future. ! And morale is unprecedentedly high-the Tartars must be completely destroyed!
However, the so-called trapped beasts were still fighting. When the Ming army advanced to the Xingshan area, they encountered the first line of defense built by the Qing army—that is, the tight position built by Huang Taiji around Rufeng Mountain and Huangtu Ridge.
The rest of the Qing army has already set up a posture here, and will fight the Ming army to the death again! (This is also the only way for the Ming army to go to Jinzhou), and the subtext of Huang Taiji is also very obvious... Before, we were fooled by you! And now, it's about taking advantage of the terrain here to start a war with you again!
Of course, even so, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to my Daqing... After removing the 40,000 horses still besieging Jinzhou, the force in Huang Taiji's hands has shrunk severely, even with those who escaped from the Battle of Bijiashan. There are only about 110,000 disabled soldiers! Moreover, many of them are indiscriminately replenishing the number (Aha slaves and the like, make up the head count), so less than half of the soldiers that can really fight are available!
Including this big defeat, Huang Taiji also strictly sealed the news and was not allowed to send it back to China! Otherwise, the tribes below know that they have to fry the pot-where are all our relatives? Could it be that only the armor they wore was the only one who could return
It’s a good idea, it’s worth installing, after all, you can cache books and read them offline!
Including this, Gou Tanzi’s supplies and food rates have also begun to be in a hurry. Robber groups like them have a better life when they can grab things, but once they can’t grab them (the entry in Chongzhen's eleventh year) , It's a big hit), it's all kinds of tight immediately! But Huang Taiji still clenched his teeth and insisted!
But even so, the power balance between the Ming and Qing dynasties has clearly leaned towards the Ming army—whether it is in terms of quantity (the Ming army still has 130,000 troops), quality, and even morale, the Ming army has already Far surpassing the Qing army—since the Battle of Saar Hu, the Ming army has the dawn of victory for the first time!
But even so, Huang Taiji is still very tough, constantly cheering for his men (actually Huang Taiji is also very good at pretending, just after the defeated soldiers of Beacon Mountain escaped, he saw that 80,000 people had gone and came back 8,000 It didn't even arrive, it was painful to vomit blood on the spot, and then fell into a coma. Huang Taiji's body was not very good at first, plus such a heavy blow...)
However, after he woke up, he strictly ordered his subordinates to spread the matter, and he also pretended that he was not arrogant and not discouraged in defeat. That is to say, he was deceived by the Ming army before, and this time, He will rely on the topography of Rufeng Mountain and Huangtuling (build a lot of fortifications), and deal a heavy blow to the Ming army! Even a decisive blow!
Of course he also understands that now he can only publicize like this, and this is the only opportunity for the Qing Dynasty! If relying on the favorable terrain, no victory can be achieved, the fate of my Daqing is at stake! (The Songshan Line of Defense is much worse than here)
And this is also a very helpless reality, or it can be said to be the fatal weakness of my Daqing... Although I look at Daqing in a great posture, stalking tigers outside, looking around, but in fact? It's just a small border country! (If it can be counted as a country) The population is less than one million, and the number of soldiers is less than 200,000.
This is totally different from Daming, who has a population of nearly 100 million.
So after understanding the details of my Daqing, I knew that I could not afford to hurt my Daqing... In the battle of Bijiashan, half of the family history has been removed (half of the 200,000 Qing army died), so if the battle of Rufengshan still fails. (For example, eighty or ninety thousand people died in the battle). By then, I really don’t have to fight again in Daqing. I'll go back to each house and find each mother...
(That is to live in and out of the mountains and old forests again, and live the life of a half-savage...)
So Huang Taiji knew that this was his only chance! Of course, under the current situation, the only thing that comforts him is that the number one minister of the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon Prince Rui, has escaped safely... If it were in the past, he would have liked the number one minister of the Qing Dynasty to die sooner. Yes, but now, there is a huge need for such talents!
And Dorgon is also worthy of the prince Rui. Even if he just escaped from the dead, he still has no discouragement, and his fighting spirit is very high, and he has also stated in many public places that he will fight the Ming army to the end! And I firmly believe that the final victory will belong to my Daqing!
(Of course it’s not possible to use self-hypnosis like this. Now I can’t afford to hurt my Muslims... In the 11th year of Chongzhen’s battle, half of the elite soldiers had been destroyed, and now it’s hard to piece together 200,000. The sagittarius has been defeated by half again! So don’t use Ah Q’s spiritual victory method again, then you really don’t have to fight again)
As for the Ming army, let alone, the morale is very high... Bringing the power of the victory to strive for unworldly achievements!
So two days later, a crucial battle between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which can also be said to be a decisive battle, was slowly kicked off again!
As mentioned earlier, Rufeng Mountain and Huangtuling Mountains, like two large tongs, were stuck on the way of the Ming army to rescue Jinzhou, and the terrain of Rufeng Mountain is generally "Nine Mountains, Half Water and Half Fields". ', the mountains are continuous, and the Ming army has no other way but to attack.
Fortunately, these two mountains are both small hills (for example, the height of Rufeng Mountain is only about 200 meters, only less than half of the height of the Oriental Pearl of the later generations, the Qing army can’t build much fortifications)
Therefore, the Qing army here mainly relied on the mountain and deployed its formation along the bottom of the mountain. Of course, they also made full use of the two hills... That is, they moved all the artillery that can be moved up, so that when the time comes, they can shoot down from a high altitude. Occupy an innate advantage.
After the arrival of the 130,000 Ming army, many of the soldiers understood Huang Taiji's idea... that is, he would use the advantages of the terrain here to have another life and death battle with our army!
And a large army battle of over 100,000 people like this is rare in human history... The width of the entire battlefield will stretch for more than a dozen miles.
In this case, our army must also be accompanied (because there is no other way to go), but when the Ming army was also ready to launch an offensive, it encountered a small problem.
That is to say, generally speaking, a big battle like this for more than ten miles is divided into the main battlefield of the Chinese army and the left and right wings. The problem now is that the left and right wings are easy to allocate, but who will attack in the middle? The problem is.
Because according to the return of the sentry, Gou Danzi moved all his artillery to the mountain, so that he can shoot down from a condescending position, and with the advantage of this height, although his artillery is just an imitation artillery, it can shoot a new style comparable to the Xuanjia Army. The range of the artillery.
(That is to say, Gouda Zi’s imitation artillery had a range of less than two miles, but now, it can hit two or even three miles! It completely covers the direction of the main attack), so whoever is in charge of the attack If you do, the casualties are certainly not small, in other words, it is thankless.
(Perhaps some people will say, “Can I not attack the main line? Only attack his left and right wings, avoiding the strongest firepower!” But that’s not right. Then the Ming army will be divided into two pieces on the left and right. Tanzi finds a chance)
Therefore, at this delicate moment, after looking at the terrain, Yang Shanlu immediately said that...this Chinese army will be attacked by my Xuanjia army!
And the reason why he said so, it is also very obvious... Yang Shanlu is not a fool and can't understand the advantages and disadvantages, but he knows even more that this kind of national war time is not a time to care about personal gains and losses! At this moment of national war, I don't take heavy burdens, who will take the heavy burdens!
Or in other words, good steel should be used on the blade! The Xuanjia Army that he painstakingly built was just to get on top at this critical time! Play his role! Otherwise, if other armies are put on top, if the Qing army cannot withstand the artillery fire, the main battle array of the Chinese army will collapse and the left and right wings will be cut off. Then the whole battle will become very dangerous.
All the generals were on the scene at this time, and after listening to Yang Shanlu's statement, even the camp supervisor Hong Chengchou was very happy to hear it... He was still having a headache, how should he arrange it? But now? Worthy of being a general of the town country! Uncle Zhen Guo! Righteousness comes first!
As for the other general soldiers, I have nothing to say after hearing this. If it was the Ming army in the past, fighting such tough battles would be to pick the fat and pick the thin to avoid their own losses, but now? The dignified state uncle is brave to bear heavy burdens? Leave the weak enemies to them
(Actually, Yang Shanlu can use his status as an earl to order other soldiers to go up.)
So there is nothing left to say, including veteran Yang Guozhu, good general Cao Bianjiao, etc. Needless to say, even the weak general Ma Ke, Tang Tong and others (not good at offensive but good at escape) were all bitten on the spot. Fingers, who made a bowl of blood wine, said on the spot that this battle is advancing or not retreating! Anyone who dares to disappoint Zhen Guobo's will, whoever is raised by the little mother!
So in this way, all the generals are united, and the strategy is now set, and the 30,000 Xuanjia Army is placed in the center (there are five thousand Xuanjia Army as a mobile force, and Hong Chengchou’s Chinese Army Supervisory Standard Battalion, and other Some participating generals and guerrillas consist of 10,000 troops, so there are about 20,000 people in total, so when the time comes, they will support everywhere).
The other eleven generals are divided into left and right wings, lined up in a swallow-wing shape, and a stunning battle is about to begin again! (After all, if the Qing army fails again in this battle, the battle for aid will be over.) (End of this chapter)
