Text_Chapter 442 Besiege but not attack

This ambush battle, don't look at the description, it is only a few thousand words, but it takes a lot of time, from the tentative attack at the beginning, to the torch offensive in the middle, and even the crazy impact in the back, it consumes a lot of time, especially the Jurchens make torches, which takes a long time. [No pop-ups. 】

After such a long battle, it was almost a whole day, and after the soldiers of the Eight Banners could not bear the casualties and retreated on their own, it didn't take long for the sky to darken and darken, and then it entered the night.

Although the soldiers were tired to death after nearly a day of fighting, Li Yuyu still strictly enforced the night duty order, and they did not live, but after eating a few mouthfuls of dry food, they entered the tent and began to rest.

Of course, what Li Yuyu didn't know was that Huang Taiji, the leader of the Jurchens, fainted because of his anger, and for his safety, the Eight Banners had already withdrawn his troops.

After waiting all night in fear, seeing that Tian Mengmeng was bright, Li Yuyu was completely relieved, since there was no night battle, then in the daytime, he was not afraid.

Then, Shi Bin, who he sent out to investigate the situation, quickly turned around and reported that there was no one around, only the traces of a large number of horses leaving where the Jurchen Eight Banners were stationed yesterday were found.

Hearing this, Li Yuyu's last heart was also put down, and the other party should have been unable to attack for a long time, so he retreated on his own. Looking back at the soldiers who had not recovered after a night, Li Yuyu waved his hand, "Rest for a day today, and set off tomorrow." ”

As soon as his order spread, there was the cheers of the entire barracks, yesterday's battle was so tiring and tense that it was not good to rest at all in one night, not to mention that there were many comrades who died, and they had to sort out the corpses!

With the cleaning of the battlefield, Li Yuyu finally knew the reason why the other party retreated, without him, the casualties were too great to die, all these corpses, after he hastily counted them, there were about 10,000 people, which was completely dead, not counting the number of wounded.

The entire Jurchen Eight Banners is only 60,000, and counting the injured, it is a 20% casualty ratio at once, which is really heavy.

Of course, if the ratio of 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry as the main attack yesterday is even higher, close to 30 percent, it is no wonder that the rest of the men are about to retreat. The 10,000 cavalry were able to go back in the end, but only 5,000, or even less, after all, they were facing firearms, and unlike the infantry and some hand-to-hand combat and cart covering, the casualties were much heavier.

Soon, the news that the logistics and transportation had encountered an ambush reached Zhu Youxiao, which made him stunned for a while and rejoiced, fortunately he transferred Li Yuyu over and was in charge of the logistics and transportation, otherwise if a group of cavalry was in charge, he would have gained or lost these materials this time.

The cavalry may be able to survive on their own, but they are known for their mobility and lack the strength to protect their supplies. Of course, this is not to say that Zhu Youxiao did not know the prophet, but according to the terrain Ahri chosen, in the prairie, naturally with cavalry guards, because the scouts are everywhere, they can find the enemy at a great distance and block it.

But the terrain in the northeast is different, although it is a plain, it is not so open, there are many dense forests, so that the field of vision is not so wide, and the cavalry can't drive up vertically and horizontally, so it is naturally infantry.

The abnormal reaction of the Jurchen, coupled with the terrain of this place, is the reason why Zhu Youxiao dropped Qian Li to fish, as for the ambush battle that occurred this time, it can only be said that it is inevitable, and the 100,000 iron weapons in front of Huang Taiji cannot be defeated, so he can only find a way from logistics.

"Let's go on the offensive in all out of our way!" After reading the detailed battle report, Zhu Youxiao made such a decision.

At first glance, the Jurchens are only 10,000 less, but the accounts are not calculated like this, in addition to the 10,000 dead, there will be a large number of wounded, as well as the problem of low morale, not to mention that if so many generals die in this battle, the loss to the Jurchens will be greater.

Therefore, at this time, there were still 50,000 horses left in the Jurchens, and compared with before, the combat power had dropped by more than one level. Tens of thousands of horses, even the firepower network of 5,000 musketeers can't break through, Zhu Youxiao still has nothing to fear.

Soon, after the order for Zhu Youxiao's all-out offensive was given, the cautious march of the army changed. As the emperor and commander-in-chief, Zhu Youxiao sat in the Chinese army, with the Xiao cavalry army as the headquarters, and walked slowly in the rear, sending a large number of scouts to explore the horses, taking into account logistics and retreat.

The more powerful hussars, with a brigade of 5,000 men as their basic action, began to attack everywhere, sweeping in front, constantly crushing the Jurchen tribes' blockage, and gradually driving them all to the core of Qiqihar.

They even made a detour to the rear of Qiqihar to drive and kill the civilians there, and drive them to the central area. Under such actions, along with a large amount of killing and blood, the Jurchens of Jianzhou and the Mongols of the Horqin tribe, who had settled down in this area and lived scattered, were once again gathered together.

Such a cruel persecution and migration action made the reputation of the Ming Dynasty instantly terrifying, especially the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao, who led this incident, became the name of the demon king, and with the death of a large number of relatives, it has been spread in the tribe for a long time.

In this action, in the past year, the wealth created by the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Horqin tribe once again flowed into Zhu Youxiao's hands, including the wealth brought out by the leaders of the Eight Banners, a large number of cattle, sheep and horses of the Horqin herdsmen, and the materials collected and exchanged in the Qiqihar area, all of which were robbed by Zhu Youxiao.

A large number of driving and killing, so that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have a bad feeling, they don't know why the emperor did this, not to arrest these people to fly, but to force them to keep walking, slow or unwilling to go, all killed, it seems a little cruel.

It's just that the harsh discipline makes them suffocate these in their hearts, but there are more people who go to the Heavenly Emperor Guan Daoist to pray and sacrifice at night, and a large number of incense is lit every night, and the soldiers pray silently against a tablet. They already knew that this tablet represented the emperor, and with this insight and the method of communicating with the supreme leader, they felt much better in their hearts.

The outbreak of this emotion, Zhu Youxiao also discovered it in time, he knew that it was only inevitable, with the popularization of culture, many soldiers who gradually established the three views would have such thoughts, and he replaced the hussars in time and let the Xiao cavalry army. Relatively speaking, the Xiao Cavalry thinks much less, the themes in them are all from slaves, and they have a hatred for the peoples on the grassland, and they can have a chance to take revenge at this time, and it is too late to be happy, how can there be doubts.

"It seems that in order to deepen the ideological building of the army, we must not always stay at the initial stage of being loyal to the king's orders and obeying orders, but also add some education and broadening the horizons of the country and the nation." Zhu Youxiao thought silently, and his mind flashed the contents of books such as game theory, wealth theory, geopolitics, and nation-state competition.

The army is his basic plate, is his great support for the reform of the world, absolutely not chaotic, the same, is also the source of his blowing of new wind, as more and more soldiers transfer to the localities, they can influence more extensively, and most of them are ordinary people, which is beyond the reach of Confucianism.

I can't change the minds of scholars, but I can change the environment around them, and when such an environment becomes better, Confucianism will naturally change itself.

There are books surveyed by the Hanlin Academy, the persecution of the imperial examination, the quiet improvement of the people and the erosion of the religious ideology of the Heavenly Emperor's view, he doesn't believe that the old people are still stubborn.

With the persecution of the Ming army, around the Qiqihar walled city, it was completely the appearance of a refugee camp, a large number of green shapes gathered from all directions, and the two tribes were mixed together, just curled up in the open air, living on a little barbecue and porridge rice distributed every day, which looked extremely miserable.

Huang Taiji walked in such a ranks, extremely ashamed, he felt that whether it was the Jianzhou Jurchen or the Horqin tribe, the eyes of the clansmen seemed to be questioning him, what about the good life he promised at the beginning? Why not?

They did live a good life, bullying the surrounding tribes with the combined military strength of the two families, absorbing nutrients, and living happily for a while until the arrival of the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji walked along, his mood was unusually heavy, he got up as early as the second day of his coma, but in the face of Daming's wolf pack tactics, he didn't have a good way.

Even if he caught the tail of a cavalry brigade and forced it to pass, the opponent's combat strength was too strong and the equipment was too good, and every time he either let the other party break through or wait for reinforcements, he did not achieve the strategic goal of cutting off one of his fingers at all. Moreover, there are too many scattered squads on the other side, if the Jurchens also disperse, they are completely looking for death, and they will soon be caught and annihilated by the other party.

In such a dilemma, Huang Taiji could only watch the other party kill his own people and drive them over, such a strange behavior, he couldn't help but wonder, what did Emperor Ming want to do? Is it really as Fan Wencheng said, wanting to migrate and leave by himself? So why is that?

All kinds of problems made his mind extremely confused.

Rumble!

Suddenly, a shout of killing came from the west side, mixed with a large number of screams.

"Is it the Ming army calling?" Huang Taiji couldn't help but ask. Soon, someone went to check on the situation and then came back to report it.

"Great Khan, it's not the Ming army, it's the leper dog of the clam thorn mold, he came to attack again."

"Clam thorn mold!" Huang Taiji shouted angrily, the Jurchen is really in decline, and even such a wild dog has been bullied to the head.

I can't beat Da Ming, can't I beat you?

"Pick up the horses and chase them with all your might!" Huang Taiji said coldly, and then a large number of soldiers and horses were gathered and all dispatched, and they were all the most elite cavalry troops, just to catch the clam thorn mold and kill it to vent his anger!
