Huang Degong, who went north from Wuqiao to Tianjin, has always been a famous general with a lot of rules. In the original Nanming system, he is the number one general! So many people in Zuo's army went down the river, and they were all defeated in his hands in the end, which shows the cleverness of his military methods.

And now, he has studied dozens of battles in the Thirty Years' War, which has greatly improved his use of hot weapons troops, and his army has also been comprehensively improved, basically reaching the level of the end of the Thirty Years' War in Europe.

It's not easy...... The French Army and the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars were very good, but how could they be taken in the 17th century? That's more than 100 years away! Not only is the tactical level not up to the mark, but also the weapons and equipment!

Although there were flintlock pistols and smoothbore guns, the flintlock pistols of the 17th century were still much worse than the flintlock pistols of the 19th century. For example, rifled guns were already widespread in the 19th century, and even at the beginning of the 19th century, skirmishers (light infantry) who used rifled guns existed in the armies of many countries. And in the 17th century, rifled guns were also available, but they were definitely not able to equip the army in large quantities. As for artillery, the gap is even greater, and the mainstream of field artillery is still 3 pounds and 6 pounds, and the weight is generally large, and the processing process of the inner chamber cannot be compared with more than 100 years later. So the power is still a bit lacking......

In addition, in terms of tackling key technologies, the gap of more than 100 years is also very large. In the 19th century, the bastion was not too much of a problem. And in the middle of the 17th century, attacking a fortress was quite a headache.

When everyone has nothing to do about the fortress, it is not easy to fight a hearty attack like during the Napoleonic Wars.

Therefore, Huang Degong's army set off with a lot of shovels and sandbags, and if they encountered an unexpected strong enemy, they would build a fortress on the spot, hold on, and wait for reinforcements.

In order to discover a possible strong enemy in advance, Huang Degong also scattered a "black gun battalion" in his hand as a platoon unit, and opened a search curtain in front of his army.

Huang Degong was not the only one who knew that he was going to use cavalry to search ahead, but his opponent Bai Yintu also knew about it, so he, like Huang Degong, scattered a large number of cavalry.

But he was reluctant to scatter the musketeers of the forward battalion - the forward battalion was supposed to do this! However, their performance in the Battle of Jieshi Mountain was too impressive, so they were promoted to the main force. Moreover, Baiyintu also had as many as 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry under his command, which was the cavalry of the Mongolian Zhaowuda League (mainly the cavalry of the Horqin Six Banners), which was led by Gulun Ertahar, the son of Wu Keshan, the prince of Horqin.

The Horqin Six Banners are very special in the "Qing Mongolia", and they are very close to the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, and it is not surprising that they are "descendants" in the early Qing Dynasty.

The so-called Mengman family means that the Horqin Six Banners and the Manchus are one family, and the Jungar Department and the Manchurians of Galdan's family are not one family......

Gulun's two aunts (Bumu Butai, Hailanzhu) and an aunt (Zhezhe) are married to Huang Taiji, and he himself married his cousin, that is, Bumu Butai's daughter Princess Gulun Yongmu, and Aixin Jueluo's family is close to each other!

Because of their close relationship, the Manchurians were the least wary of the Horqin Mongols, did not control their weapons and equipment very much, and often took them with them when they fought.

Over time, the cavalry of the Horqin Six Banners not only equipped themselves, but also honed their combat effectiveness, and became the strongest among the Mongols in Monan and Mobei.

And for Wu Keshan to support his good son-in-law Shunzhi (because he misses Amadolgon day and night, Emperor Shunzhi also likes Meng Guqing more and more, so he became Wu Keshan's good son-in-law), this time he also made a bloody investment, and mobilized a full 15,000 cavalry from the Zhaowuda League under his control, including as many as 10,000 cavalry from the Horqin Six Banners! And 5,000 of these 10,000 people were left in Tianjin by Shunzhi as a guard - how much trust Wu Keshan has! The remaining 5,000 plus 5,000 people from the remaining banners of the Zhaowuda League were handed over to Biltahar and followed Baiyintu on the expedition.

Therefore, the first to take the lead now is the 5,000 "iron horsemen" from the Central African Horqin system of the Zhaowuda League.

Biltahar divided them into ten teams and scattered before the main brigade, escorting the army all the way south.

Because the task of Baiyintu and Biertahar was to outflank the rear route of the Ming army heading north, they could not march along the canal, but marched three or four miles east of the canal. It is said that this will be able to bypass the main force of the Ming army, which they don't know where they are......

Relying on the blind guessing of "Suo Yuanzhi" to fight, it can only be deployed in this way.

Huang Degong, on the other hand, advanced along the east bank of the canal. In other words, there was still a distance of thirty or forty miles between the two opposing armies, and if they hadn't opened such a large search net, they might have missed it.

If the cavalry sent out by Biltahar to explore the road had been smaller, Huang Degong might not have changed the direction of the march.

But fate is such a thing, it's really unclear!

When fate arrives, a blind cat can also bump into a dead mouse!

......

Woohoo Woo ......

When the gunshots came from the northeast, it was already the evening of the third day of the first month of the seventh year of Hongxing in the Ming Dynasty (the first year of the first day of the year)!

Huang Degong's Chinese army had just been stationed around a relatively well-to-do town in the northeast of Cangzhou at this time. Salt is produced near Cangzhou, and after Huai salt and green salt could not enter the Qing market, Changlu salt in Cangzhou and Jiezhou salt in Shanxi became the mainstream of the salt industry in Qingguo.

Therefore, several towns in the east of Cangzhou have become one of the few "economic growth highlights" here in Beizhili!

He lived in a salt merchant's house and was about to eat a hot meal when Huang Degong heard a gunshot.

"Where's the gun?" Huang Degong put down a freshly roasted leg of lamb and shouted.

"Northeast!" Qi Yuanbi, the military advisor of the Governor's Mansion of Shandong and Liaodong, was acting with Huang Degong, and he immediately made an accurate judgment.

Huang Degong snorted: "Maybe there is a battle to be fought, everyone eat quickly...... In addition, they all spilled wine for Lao Tzu! His grandmother's, no one is allowed to drink and make mistakes. ”

"Whoa!"

The generals who accompanied General Huang to eat all responded with a bang, all poured out the wine, and then covered their heads to eat meat and steamed buns, and it didn't take long for the gunshots to come again, and they kept ringing. After a while, the gunfire became more intense again! Apparently more Ming "black spearmen" joined the battle.

By the time everyone had finished eating, the announcement had already arrived!

"Jieshuai, 15 miles northeast of Yanshan Town, I found a large force of Mongolian cavalry!"

"Hehe," Huang Degong smiled, "there are actually Mongolian cavalry sent to the door!" It should be enough to transfer two infantry regiments and two batteries of artillery! Who will go through this? ”

"Jie Shuai," Qi Yuanbi immediately got up and gave up his hand, "I'll go!" ”

"Okay!" Huang Degong said with a smile, "If Qi Junshi goes out, those Mongols will die!" ”

......

"It's a mule soldier! Defeated hundreds of us at once, it seems that there are quite a few of them! ”

At the same time, Biltahar was discussing something similar with Baiyintu, and he said, "Let's send out the forward battalion!" ”

"It's getting dark!" Baiyintu shook his head, "It's not enough to just go out with the cavalry, so let your Mongolian cavalry and firearms battalion go out together...... Commander Zhuo, how about you take a trip? ”

The commander of the firearms battalion is Aobai's elder brother Zhuo Butai, and he and Aobai are now a royalist uncle and a royalist, which can be regarded as a two-headed bet.

And he also has to be reused here in Shunzhi, managing a firearms battalion of 2,500 people, this firearms battalion is not all firearms, in fact, it is similar to the infantry regiment of the Ming army, and there are 4 firearms cattle records, 4 spear cattle records, and 2 artillery cattle records below.

"Okay!" Zhuo Butai had just finished dinner and wiped his mouth, "Just leave it to me, you can see!" ”
