Chapter 211: Fueling Tactics

When the pro-general heard this, he changed color again, and said in a trembling voice: "Handsome ......"

Jin Litie blushed and didn't say a word, just turned his head and stared at him!

As soon as the general saw the fierce light in the eyes of Jin Li, who was full of black gas, he couldn't help but shudder, how dare he say more, and immediately slapped his horse away.

Over there, the Qing army infantry and cavalry were pressed into a group, and the Qing artillery on the riverside was very idle......

The cannon has already been set up, and the reason why it has not been fired at the Ming army camp for a long time is because without the cooperation of the infantry and cavalry, it is meaningless to fire the artillery, after all, the Ming army still has hundreds of musketeers guarding there.

If no one charges, what is the use of the wooden barricades and the barracks gates blasting open? Cannons can't be loaded with bayonets.

After receiving the order, although the artillery commanders were full of astonishment, they did not dare to slack off, and for a time the light and heavy artillery turned their muzzles one after another, and hastily dug their positions and opened fire indiscriminately.

Ahead, the infantry and cavalry of both sides were all fighting in one place, the cannon of the boring did not have any accuracy at all, and it was impossible to avoid accidentally injuring his own people.

……

This Jin Li, for the sake of his military exploits, was so mad that he even used this kind of yin damage trick of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of himself.

He is so desperate that he even kills his own subordinates together, it is very risky, is he not afraid that his subordinates will turn back?

Speaking of which, as a former Ming general, Jin Li's eagerness for merit is related to the military system of the Manchu Qing mentioned above......

In the early Manchu Qing Dynasty, due to the small population, Nurhachi adopted a set of military aristocracy similar to the Ottoman New Army model. The essence of the governance system is that all the people are soldiers, nomadic herders for the people in peacetime, and soldiers on horses in wartime.

This military system has two advantages, which ensures the combat effectiveness of the army.

First of all, in terms of social status and political treatment, Nurhachi ensured the absolute dominance of the hereditary soldiers of the Eight Banners, even if he was a superb civilian official like Fan Wencheng, he could only lick the boots of the Eight Banners generals, so that the Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers had a real sense of ownership and were willing to fight hard.

Second, in the early days of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, everything was dominated by military expansion, and the energy of the entire country was concentrated on fighting wars, and its administrative organs were essentially a military government, with extremely high military efficiency and strong mobilization capabilities in wartime.

So, why did the Han and Mongolian Eight Banners, which formed the army late, and even those puppet armies that surrendered from the former Ming army, fight so hard?

Because unlike the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Eight Banner soldiers, regardless of their background, could enter the knighthood and even be crowned king by virtue of their military merits, and they were similar to the Western Zhou Dynasty, with real power with territory and private arms.

This is tantamount to giving a soldier of all nationalities a chance to become the core of the rule, and to put it mildly, "heroes do not ask where they come from, everyone has the opportunity."

Under the temptation of this kind of policy, for the sake of glory and wealth, in order to seal the shadow of their wives and children, can the golden people not work hard?

In contrast, the Ming Dynasty was governed by civilian officials, and the status of military generals has always been very low.

"Everything is inferior, only reading is high", the whole society advocates reading the imperial examination, despises the old and rough martial arts, in the atmosphere of "good men are not soldiers", the Ming Dynasty from military households to military generals, all are the objects of social and ruling class suppression.

The soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had no food to rob, no women could be strong, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, because of the use of the soldier cantonment system, military households were not allowed to move around if they had nothing to do, and they could only lie down and starve to death without pay.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the imperial court really couldn't pay salaries, so it had to implement the recruitment system of self-financing for the generals, and it couldn't let go of the officers and soldiers to learn from the Manchu Qing Dynasty like "do it yourself".

Of course, the military system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty also has a drawback, that is, it is difficult for the imperial court to achieve a real big ?? Quan Du?? Since their subordinates have military power, they will have a lot of enthusiasm at the same time. Standing.

The monarch is a little cowardly, and everyone in the subordinate vassal kings has the desire to "add a yellow robe", and will not be like the old peasants who were born in the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, who can only use negative methods such as kneeling or finding a court staff to compete with the monarch.

Therefore, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and settled in the Central Plains, in order to strengthen the Central Plains. Central set?? right, stifle subordinates to cut off militarily?? According to the danger, successive monarchs began to continuously weaken the personal dependence of the Eight Banners and the military power of the real king.

Kangxi's cutting of the feudal domain provoked the rebellion of the Sanshun King, and Yongzheng completely turned the children of the Eight Banners into old peasants in the tunken, so while the monarchy became stronger and stronger, the combat effectiveness of the Qing army also declined sharply.

In the Kangxi era, the Qing army could not win the battle without absolute superiority, and when it came to Yongzheng and Qianlong, it was often lost under the absolute superiority of troops, not to mention the opium soldiers in the late Qing period, which was unimaginable in the era of Huang Taiji and Dolgon, who were often defeated with less and were almost invincible.

It can be seen from this that any army has no sense of being a soldier, does not have the lofty ideal of defending the homeland and the country, and only relies on the temptation of interests, which will not last long. The wishful thinking of the rulers......

……

As the roar of dozens of light and heavy artillery pieces of the Qing army sounded, Jiao Lian's Ming army collapsed almost immediately......

Due to the dense formation, every iron bullet with fireworks whizzed into the crowd would bring huge casualties, and for a time the blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the wilderness was filled with angry scolding, crying and wailing......

Seeing this, Jiao Lian's eyes were red as if he was about to drip blood, dragging his already weak body, shouting hoarsely to evacuate the formation, and personally commanding the cavalry and flintlock pissals to assault the Qing army encirclement on the periphery, so that the arquebusiers in the dense group had enough space to evacuate.

Fortunately, the Qing army was also injured by artillery fire, but they also scrambled to retreat to a safe distance, and the encirclement gradually loosened a lot.

Rao is like this, when a large number of light tiger squat artillery of the Qing army, braving the rain of bullets from the Ming army's flintlock guns, approached the front of the encirclement and opened fire, pieces of iron and stones sprayed out in a fan-like shape, still caused a large number of casualties among the cavalry on the periphery of the Ming army, and the Ming army continued to fall in rows and pieces......

When a tiger squat cannon facing Jiao Lian successfully fired, and a large black cannon sprayed into the cavalry formation, Jiao Lian, who was personally leading the charge, was hit by several iron in his body in an instant, and with the blood flying, Jiao Lian finally fell off the horse......

Bai Ying, who was organizing the attack not far away, saw this, his eyes were about to split, and he led several pro-soldiers to rush forward with a roar, snatching Jiao Lian, who was fainting on the ground, into the flintlock pistols behind him, and immediately called the medical pro-soldiers to come forward for treatment.

Bai Ying, who was also covered in blood, staggered to his feet, looked around, and as far as the eye could see, the ground was full of stumps and broken arms, as well as moaning wounded soldiers.

Those who are still gritting their teeth and standing and squatting to shoot are no longer in formation, and people are falling down every moment......

The Qing army on the periphery seemed to be a battalion step by step, and the Ming army retreated at them, but as soon as the Ming army retreated, they forced forward again, and the encirclement was still intact.

With the help of artillery, they just spared their lives, and there was no need to fight hard.

Looking at the situation, I'm afraid that there is no chance to break through the siege, and if it continues like this, it won't be long before the 3,000 people, mainly foot soldiers, will be wiped out!
