Chapter 85: Attacking the heart is the top, attacking the city is the bottom!
Although he had long expected that the Tartars would definitely not suffer this kind of loss and would come back in retaliation, Xu Changqing did not expect that the Tartars would not only come so quickly, but also be so popular!
It's really a bunch of brutes who refuse to lose anything.
The people who blocked the southern front before are probably these brutes!
"Obediently, two inlaid yellow flag bulls, one blue flag bull record, one Jia Lazhangjing leader, plus a few Han military flags and Mongolian minions, this, this is at least more than a thousand people."
Ergou made a somewhat difficult sound, and hurriedly looked at Xu Changqing and said, "General, dog Tartar is this...... This is trying to kill us all! ”
Ergou has been honing here these days, and he is already very familiar with the banner, establishment and specifications of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, plus his eyes are good and he can see very clearly.
Xu Changqing had also made up a lot of knowledge in this area before, but this was the real first time to use it, but fortunately, with the completion of the two dogs, Xu Changqing quickly merged it.
"Things are a little bad, General, what are we going to do?"
Even Zhang Long, who has always been steady, frowned into a pimple, and looked at Xu Changqing busily.
The other officers also looked at Xu Changqing nervously.
However, Xu Changqing's previous power played a role, even if everyone was very nervous and panicked, it was not chaotic.
They also now understand what the consequences will be if they violate the military order at such a time!
When the eighty-odd Tartars attacked before, three people shouted and did not listen to the command, and were directly killed on the spot.
"What should I do?"
A cold smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Xu Changqing's mouth: "Since these Tartars are here, then~~, don't go back!" All ministries have it, and immediately enter combat readiness! ”
"Yes!"
Everyone did not dare to slack off, and quickly came to their respective defense areas that had been planned a long time ago.
Xu Changqing no longer inked on the side of the earthen wall at this time, and directly returned to the command platform on the top of the mountain, condescending to check the overall situation.
If the catapults, 10,000 enemies and bamboo tube 'flowering bombs' hadn't come, Xu Changqing would definitely not have been tough with these main forces of the Tartars, and he would have run as far as he could.
But at this time, with the help of these powerful weapons that transcend the times, Xu Changqing also wants to see if the real Manchuria is really not afraid of death!
…
Behind the muddy flats at the bottom of the mountain, watching the Ming army camp calm down quickly after being a little restless, Shun Gutu's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
To tell the truth, even if the army is gathered at this time and these despicable Ming dogs are slaughtered, somehow, Shungutu always has some trouble in his heart......
This Ming army is too weird.
From becoming a vest in his teens, although Shungutu is less than thirty, he has been fighting in the south and north for more than ten years, and many so-called Ming generals have fought against him, but in the end he has not been tortured and killed by them like killing pigs and dogs?
Even if the main force of the Ming army saw the main force of their Qing Dynasty, their first reaction must be panic, and it will take at least a long time to calm down.
But at this time, in just this short period of time, the Ming army inside the broken wall was actually so quiet?
This gave Shungutu a little bad premonition in his heart...
The power of Xu Changqing's three arrows before really left a lot of shadows in his heart.
That Ming dog named Xu Changqing is a ruthless man!
"Master, it is estimated that it will take more than an hour for the slaves to rush over, let's set up camp first."
At this time, a cow with a meaty face Lu Zhangjing respectfully said to Shungutu.
"Hmm."
Shungutu nodded: "Then let's make a meal first, and let the warriors nourish their spirits first!" By the way, there was rain yesterday, and now the soil is still very soft, so set up camp and let those Han army banner minions dig more sand first. ”
This Niu Lu Zhangjing also instantly understood the meaning of Shungutu, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Tsk." ”
Soon, these tartars with yellow flags were busy in an orderly manner.
Turning around and looking at the busy crowd, Shun Gutu exhaled a long breath deeply, and a hint of a gloomy smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Hehe, Xiaoming dog, I'm not in a hurry, let's play slowly!" I still don't believe it, you can become a sperm! ”
…
On the mountain, Xu Changqing looked at a yellow-blue figure that was as busy as an ant moving, and couldn't help but nod secretly.
It is not just luck that the Jurchens can crisscross the Liao Land for so long, gradually rise and grow into behemoths at this time!
Xu Changqing also recognized it at this time, at this time, Najia Lazhangjing was the guy who came over in the morning!
Even if he is an enemy, Xu Changqing has to admit that this guy is quite old and spicy!
Whether it was in the morning or at this time, he didn't have any flaws.
If that guy had been more daring and ruthless in the morning, maybe he would have to retreat to the sea and find another way at this time.
Seeing that behind their camp, there were many Han Army Banner minions who had begun to dig up the soft soil and put it into sandbags, and Xu Changqing was also aware.
It is estimated that when the follow-up Han slaves come over, these dog offals will be piled up and bulldozed to fill the ditch.
This Jia Lazhangjing must be very short of time, and he shouldn't stay here for too long.
After all, the big war is about to begin.
Haoge is also a dragon and phoenix among people, and he will not be unable to distinguish the light and the heavy, and come to grab his little sesame seed and let go of the big watermelon.
However, Xu Changqing was not in a hurry at this time, many catapults were still in a state of debugging, and had not yet been placed on the high platform on the front line of the earthen wall.
Mainly at this time, Xu Changqing also had a better understanding of the Qing army.
In this era, many people have night blindness, and the Qing army eats more meat and is slightly better, and the Ming army is much more serious.
But even if the Qing army can fight at night, at this time, this kind of siege and dangerous battle, as long as the brain of this armor Lazhangjing with a yellow flag is not kicked by a donkey, he should not choose to fight at night!
Especially the sons and daughters under Xu Changqing are very different from the traditional Ming army!
Almost all of the sons and daughters under Xu Changqing's command are seafood, and night blindness is not much among them.
Moreover, Xu Changqing and his sons occupy a geographical advantage, there are many pines and cypresses on this hill, which can make many torches.
With a lot of firelight, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for the Qing army to sneak attack.
Therefore, it is unlikely that a decisive battle will break out tonight.
At most, they sent some Han Chinese slaves to bulldoze and fill the ditches.
But it is impossible for Han slaves to have horses, they should have rushed over from the Haoge camp dozens of miles away, and they were already tired after walking so many roads, and this yellow flag armor Lazhangjing was a veteran, and it should not inspire the resistance factor of these Han slaves.
This time, the possibility of bulldozing and filling the ditch tonight is very small, and the core will be early tomorrow morning!
Thinking of those poor Han slaves, Xu Changqing was also a little speechless for a while.
No way.
The natural disadvantage of the farming people makes it 10,000 times easier for these beastly Tartars to catch Han slaves than to tie sheep and cattle on the grassland.
The official information that Xu Changqing got at this time was that there were probably 30,000 or even 50,000 Han slaves in the Haoge camp alone!
They are all the poor Ming people in the tunbao built by Emperor Sun Chengzong and Yuan Inspector with a lot of money.
Once those humble Tunpu tortoise shells are broken, these poor Ming people are really not as good as a dog......
This figure is only a very conservative estimate, or rather, it is a refined number.
The old and weak among those Han slaves, including some who rebelled against genes, I am afraid that they have already been turned into dry bones and dust by these dog tartars!
Alas!
Xu Changqing couldn't describe how he felt at this time for a while.
Really, to be reasonable, since the rise of the Jurchens, the land under their feet has long been soaked in the blood of countless Han people!
Therefore, knowing that there would be great danger and that there would be a huge price to pay in case of failure, Xu Changqing still decided to give it a go!
If nothing else, at least let these dogs and tartars feel the resistance of the Han people, and let them understand that the descendants of Yan and Huang, the descendants of God, are by no means lowly lambs to be slaughtered in their eyes!
…
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was already time, and the sky was already dark.
The camp of the Qing army had been erected at this time, very neat, and the front was filled with huge thick wooden stake fences, and the trenches and earth walls were also dug, and there were many hunting dogs, meticulous.
Obviously, even if they knew that Xu Changqing had no room to steal camps, they still followed the process.
This is indeed a great respect for Xu Changqing, but it also makes Xu Changqing more cautious!
In the middle of the day, the sky was completely dark, and under the flickering firelight of the Qing army camp, Xu Changqing's powerful eyesight could vaguely see that around their camp, there were many Han slaves who had just arrived and were filling sand bags.
"General, this, will these dog Tartars attack the city tonight?"
At this time, Zhao Zengjin scratched his ears and cheeks a little, and finally couldn't help it, and asked Xu Changqing carefully.
"Huh?"
Xu Changqing frowned, and after a moment, he came back to his senses, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten the most critical link!
The Art of War: "Attack the heart first, attack the city first!" ”
How can a veteran like this Jia Lazhangjing, who is inlaid with a yellow flag, not understand this truth?
Moreover, whether it is in Liaoxi, or Shenyang, Liaoyang, Guangning, or the Qing army's entrance looting, the Qing army has rarely fought hard battles and gnawed the hard bones of the Ming army!
Most, even eighty percent or more than ninety percent, are basically psychological warfare!
Use a powerful psychological offensive to force the Ming army to surrender or have flaws and traitors, so as to achieve the best effect with the least effort.
And generally those cities that dare to resist the Qing army, the Qing army will either not break through and pass safely, or if they break through, they will slaughter the city and exterminate the clan!
During the Southern Ming Dynasty, the incident of Xinhui people is a classic in this tragic case.
When the Ming army counterattacked, the Xinhui people fought desperately, and they really played with the Ming army, but when the Qing army came, it was an open door and greeted with good wine and meat.
Why is that?
The Ming army and the Ming Dynasty had lost their credibility at that time, making the Xinhui people feel that they could not hold the Xinhui City, if they surrendered to the Ming army and returned to the Ming Dynasty, they would definitely be slaughtered and exterminated, and the jade would be burned!
Everyone has parents, brothers, wives and children, and Nanming is gone, so it is not surprising to make such a sad decision.
At this time, Zhao Zengjin's words made Xu Changqing suddenly understand this problem.
The Qing army, I'm afraid it will never be idle tonight.
And on my own side, I'm afraid...... can only take some less determined sons and daughters to sacrifice the flag and stabilize the morale of the army.
…
Xu Changqing's prediction was not wrong!
At the end of the day, when it was almost nine o'clock, the Qing army had moved.
For a moment, the sound of drums, trumpets, and all kinds of shouting and scolding suddenly resounded in front of their camp.
In the chaos, the sight is not good, and Xu Changqing and the others on the top of the mountain can't tell how many people the Qing army has gathered at this time.
But in the open space in front of their camp, the fire flickered, and the figures were heavy, and it seemed that they had at least a few hundred combat strength.
Moreover, there are many Han slaves carrying bags of sand and dirt who have been driven to the front, and it seems that they are about to be pushed up now!
This made the camp of the Ming army, which had been in a quiet state, suddenly become noisy.
"General, it seems that the dog Tartars are really coming to attack at night, let's go out and fight them! Otherwise, everyone probably won't want to sleep tonight! ”
At this time, Zhang Long seemed to understand the evil intentions of the Tartars, and quickly came over to find Xu Changqing.
Xu Changqing looked at Zhang Long's excited face, as if his green tendons were about to burst, and slowly shook his head: "Don't worry, go and defend the position!" Pacify the sons and daughters, who dares to bewitch the public, play a moth, kill on the spot, and expel all the family members from the island! ”
"Huh? Be! ”
Although Zhang Long was a little unwilling, but~, Xu Changqing had already spoken, he definitely didn't dare to refute, so he could only execute it.
Watching Zhang Long's back quickly return to his position, Xu Changqing's eyes narrowed coldly, and his fists clenched tightly!
Even a calm person like Zhang Long was a little panicked, but you can imagine the others.
But, like the darkest hour before dawn, the sons are destined to endure this test tonight!
If anyone can't help it, then~, you can't blame him Xu Changqing for being ruthless and abandoning him!
For the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of the nation, for the sake of not being a slave to the country, and for the glory and glory that has been passed down for 5,000 years, Xu Changqing can only be ruthless and survive the fittest!
