Section 748 Northern Expedition
"Our army will gather the main forces of the First Army and the Second Army, together with Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo, to carry out the Northern Expedition!" Gan Huilang said.
In the lobby of the military headquarters near the imperial city of Nanjing, the generals gathered together, and the officers sat upright with their waists straight, waiting for orders.
They were holding a meeting before the Northern Expedition, with a long table in the conference room, and Yan Dashao must be sitting on the side of the back wall, and the rest of the officers were sitting on the left and right.
Gan Hui deployed, he said: "This expedition is led by the leader himself, and he will complete his work in one battle, you must not slack off!" ”
The officers hurriedly said yes, joking, if such an opportunity can be hit in Beijing, wouldn't the leader become Zhu Chongba, and everyone is Xu Da's Northern Expeditionary Army, seizing Dadu (Beijing), so as to leave a name in history.
"The First Army is led by me, and Commander Zhang has been changed to the commander of the Nanjing Garrison, responsible for defending the Nanjing area, this is our base area, and there is no room for error!" Gan Hui's words deprived Zhang Shouyun of his command, and everyone peeked at him, but they couldn't help but admire him when they saw that he was not the slightest annoyed with a smile on his face.
"Zhou Quanbin continues to be in charge of his second army, and there are also Gao Jie's troops and Liu Liangzuo's troops to assist!"
"The First Army and the Second Army each have 80,000 people (both have been expanded), Gao Jie's Department and Liu Liangzuo's Department each have 30,000 people, with a total strength of 220,000 troops, and 80,000 to 100,000 unity soldiers (township soldiers) from all over the country are second-line troops!"
"We marched to Jinan along the east of Weishan Lake, sent 150,000 people, built roads and cities along the way, and repaired the fortress all the way to Jinan." Gan Hui introduced.
Everyone nodded one after another, this is a prudent policy, after all, the Qing army has a lot of cavalry, strong mobility, and ghosts, if there is no city and fortress to protect personnel and supplies, everyone can't even sleep, so there is no need to fight.
"Now, please ask the leader to instruct!" After Gan Hui made a detailed deployment, he then invited Yan Changwu.
Yan Changwu stood up and said: "The significance of the Northern Expedition, I don't need to say more, everyone acts according to the order, as long as you take the lead bravely, I believe that success is just around the corner!" ”
He looked around at the officers and said, "No one is allowed to be a bad seed, fight with all your might, kill one is enough, kill two to earn!" ”
The officers stood up together and swore an oath: "I am willing to fight for the leader!" ”
……
As the day of the Northern Expedition approached, the atmosphere in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Huai River area in the Southern Ming Dynasty gradually became tense, and all localities strengthened the inventory of people who came and went, imposed a curfew, and finally, the north-south traffic was cut off, and the people south of the Huai River could no longer cross the north bank, unless they were troops and former migrant workers.
On July 8 of the year (lunar calendar), Yan Changwu swore to the Northern Expedition by the Yangtze River in Nanjing, and Emperor Yongming personally saw him off.
The brigade crossed the river, and before, the troops north of the Huai River had already been mobilized!
Together with the people, the Northern Expeditionary army reached 450,000 people, known as one million, and surging away!
To the east of Weishan Lake, to the Yi and Shu rivers, they were mixed with all kinds of military uniforms, advancing to the north like a turbid and ferocious flood, carrying many spears like cattle hairs, and many cavalry guards, along the way the smoke and dust were billowing and bold, and they had the posture of leveling the north and swallowing the Qing army, and confidently said that they wanted to drive the Qing army to "jump the Yellow River!" ”
Duoduo, the great chief of the Qing army stationed in Jinan, felt a heavy pressure, and he constantly sent scouts to understand the situation, and the situation became more and more clear.
The Ming army adopted the tactics of strengthening the depth, approaching intensively, fighting steadily and steadily, and advancing gradually, and approached Jinan!
What annoyed him was that the Han Chinese troops in the cities they controlled along the way surrendered one after another with the arrival of the Ming army!
In this way, the city fell into the hands of the Ming army, giving them a vital support point.
"Sure enough, the Han people are unreliable!" Duoduo hated the authentic.
Dorobelle Leke Dehun and Gushan Ezhen Yechen led 10,000 cavalry and first fought a battle with the Gao Jie Department who came out in advance.
The first division to play the vanguard for the Northern Expeditionary Army was the Southeast Army, and Luck Dehun didn't want to provoke them, so he let go of the division, played the second team, and flanked Gao Jie!
The so-called Jurchen is invincible, tens of thousands of cavalry, except for 3,000 Mongolian Eight Banners, the rest are real Tartars, and the situation of their charge is really terrifying!
The visual impact was so strong that some soldiers couldn't even move. ‘
Emergency assembly has training in normal times,
"Formation! Formation! The officers of the Ming army shouted wildly, knowing that under the onslaught of the cavalry, only the formation could resist.
Fortunately, the Ming army changed its new charter, that is, it paid attention to sending scouts, protecting the wings in front and rear, left and right, and sounding the alarm in time.
Otherwise, the Tartars will suddenly attack at close range, and many Ming troops will collapse like this.
When the Qing army rushed to the front of the Ming army, the Ming army finally formed an unsatisfactory battle formation, but Luck Dehun laughed, and the Qing army close to the enemy position shot the arrows in their hands one by one, and for a time the arrows were like flying locusts, and the Ming army was overwhelmed!
The Gaojie army was a mixed army, with cold weapons, swords, guns, bows, arrows, and muskets, and they used shields to resist bows and arrows, and returned fire with bows and muskets.
The Qing army had strong crossbows and hard bows, and the lethality was very great, and some of them had eagle archers, and the arrows were as big as children's fists, so you can imagine what a powerful bow they used!
An arrow can shoot through even a shield, injuring the person behind the shield.
But Gao Jie's bows and arrows and muskets are not vegetarians, Gao Jie taught the sergeants not to beat people, but to shoot horses!
I have to say that the Qing army's death hole was suppressed, the target of the horse was large, and the horses that were hit fell to the ground with a bang, so many more died, the Qing army had to fly by, scattering the Ming army, so that the accuracy of both sides was poor, and it was difficult for anyone to please.
It's just that the Qing army galloped like the wind, hovering around the periphery of the Ming army like annoying flies, and they scattered and attacked with archery in small teams of 100 people, trying to block the advance of the Ming army.
The Ming army also divided into squads of several hundred people, armed with shields, bows and arrows, and muskets, and left the brigade slightly to drive away the Qing army.
Suddenly, the golden drum shook violently, and it turned out to be a thousand-strong team of the Qing army that found a 100-person squad of the Ming army far away from the main force, and the Qing army led by the team immediately made a decision, gathered the team to assault, and tried to eat this Ming army squad.
The horses galloped, and the dust they brought up was like a group of demons with teeth and claws, as if they were about to devour the weak Ming army.
Faced with the heavy assault of the Qing army, the Ming army squad protected itself with shields, and when the Qing cavalry rushed in, they calmly shot and shot arrows, specializing in horses!
Keep letting the Qing army drop their horses, and when they get closer, there is a bang, and the Ming army throws big bombs!
The horses in the killing range jumped together, and the knights couldn't control it, and the scene was chaotic.
The tenacity of the Ming army's resistance was beyond the expectations of the Qing army, and the Ming army rarely did not collapse, which was commonplace in the past.
Yan Changwu entered Nanjing, reorganized the Ming army, and he brought the military soul to the Ming army!
The education of the army is very homely: let the soldiers know that if they do not fight, they will be ruined, they will become slaves, their wives are someone else's plaything, and our children and grandchildren will become their slaves! Defend the country and pick up the gun, we Han people are able to fight, dare to fight, and will fight when encountering the enemy!
Training in place: During military exercises, cavalry rushes straight in front of officers and soldiers, constantly learning to use their weapons until they are familiar with them.
Good treatment! Heavy rewards for those who kill enemies.
Once you become a deserter, you will not be pardoned, and your immediate family will be exiled to Southeast Asia!
This military discipline was issued by Yan Changwu, who coldly demanded that his army either win or die, and if they surrendered, it would be worse than death!
He did what he said, so even if he was in danger of being killed, the Ming army team had to fight to the death.
Then, they found that the pressure stopped abruptly, and the Qing army fled far away, and it turned out that reinforcements had arrived!
The Qing army did not go well in the war, and in the evening, Dorobelle Lekdehun returned to the camp, and found that Gushan Ezhen Ye Chen was very angry, and when he asked, it turned out that Ye Chen's younger brother Ge Dahun had died in battle.
It is common for Manchurian warriors to die, but Ge Dahun died a disgraceful death, he died at the hands of the common people!
