Chapter 648: Wolf smoke rolls in
After the spring ploughing, the number and quality of the "Red Banner Army," which had completed the first change of guard, improved by leaps and bounds.
It is not that the veterans of the original "Red Banner Army" have undergone major changes, but that the reorganized soldiers of the former Ming Army, such as Dongjiang Town, Denglai, Tianjin Wei, etc., have been reborn.
Happiness is really contrasted, the ordinary battalion soldiers of the original Ming Army even have a full stomach is a luxury, and the military salary in hand is simply not enough to support the family, and a mandarin duck jacket may not be replaced if it is worn for three years.
Since accepting the reorganization and becoming a glorious soldier of the "Red Banner Army", he has eaten enough, eaten healthily, fish and meat every day, and dressed not only warmly but also decently.
When they walked out of the barracks, the common people they met were not scattered and fled as before, but surrounded the soldiers and applauded.
After becoming a "Red Flag Army", family members enjoyed preferential treatment for military families, the purchase of food was at official prices, and good jobs in the system were also given priority to military families, and relatives were able to raise their heads and be human beings.
That's how you lived! Too many Yuan Ming soldiers were full of emotion, they especially cherished such a good day, and knew that the only way to maintain such a way of life forever was to defeat all enemies.
Too many of the former Ming soldiers were illiterate, and the town magistrates would have an hour of help and education every night, and the propaganda team often organized rallies to tell all the soldiers why they were fighting?
To defend the motherland, to defend the homeland, to make the wives and children not suffer from hunger and live a happy life, it was unanimously recognized that everyone must unite around the "Red Banner Army" with the general of the conquest as the core.
Seeing that the reorganization was fruitful, Huang Han was pondering when to launch an offensive to wage a local war, and it would be better to include the south of the Han River in Korea first, so that millions of hungry people from Shanxi and Henan could be emigrated to settle there.
Who knew that the plan could not keep up with the changes, Jiannu preemptively, at the end of May, the Xifengkou and Dushikou in the Jizhen defense area were billowing wolf smoke.
The six-hundred-mile urgent report was not just a galloping Beijing division, but was delivered to Huang Han who was fighting at Shanhaiguan as soon as possible, followed by a report to the military department.
Later, the Jin army became a Qing soldier, and the previous good luck was gone.
Chongzhen played a sneak attack in the winter of the second year, quietly touched the foot of the Great Wall, easily captured the three passes, and the story of driving straight into the road has not been replicated.
When Jiannu was mobilized on a large scale, the Mongolian tribes belonging to the "Red Banner Army" were aware that many small tribes had migrated to the mountains to take refuge.
Huang Yizhou left a battalion stationed in the Santun battalion to train the guards, and he personally led a battalion of men and horses to Dushikou to sit in the town, where the 200-mile Great Wall was in charge of Liu Fenyong's battalion.
The generals of the "Red Banner Army" guarding the pass would not wait for the enemy to kill outside the pass before passively defending, and Liu Fenyong had a thousand cavalry under his command, and he took the general unit to patrol the 200-mile mountainous area outside the pass by taking three shifts.
The cavalry patrolled in turns, and they were extremely familiar with the rivers, mountains, and woods outside the pass close to the Guancheng area.
They often conduct on-the-spot exercises on how to use the terrain to strike at the enemy, and the contents of the exercises are varied, such as calculating a sentry horse with less than a few dozen men, striking an outpost with 1,200 men and horses, and attacking and harassing a large army of more than 1,000 people.
Dolgon led the first section of the Zhengbai Banner and the Tartar light cavalry to leave the main force and sneak into the defense area of Xuzhen, his goal was to sneak up on Dushikou, but the freshly baked Prince Rui felt that something was wrong the more he went.
Because the sentry horses that explored the way were supposed to be coming and going, and now it seemed that there was no return, and Dolgon did not like to fight against the "Red Banner Army" the most, and at this time he felt that he was on his back.
When Pan Yingyong, the commander of Liu Fenyong, led the 360 men and horses of the general cavalry team under his direct command out of the customs to patrol the border, the scouts who were distributed at the commanding heights and used clairvoyants to observe the main passage discovered the sentry horses of the Qing army early.
Finding that the regular army of Jiannu appeared in the mountain of 200 miles of the defense area, Pan Yingyong felt that the Qing soldiers should have action, so he immediately sent scouts back to Dushikou to report the news, and then led his cavalry to choose an ambush point.
When Liu Fenyong, who learned that there were Jiannu who could fight, led two general cavalry to arrive, Pan Yingyong had already taken a cheap price and killed eleven Tartar light cavalry and three Jiannu vests.
The road conditions are familiar, with the majestic Xiongguan and the Great Wall stretching for hundreds of miles behind him, and the reckless mountains and mountains in front of him.
Liu Fenyong had more than 1,000 cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" in hand, and he refused to enter the pass early at all, and strictly guarded it.
He took his men and horses to occupy dangerous places and spread nets to wait, and attacked and killed more than 50 Qing troops in half a day, 80% of them were Tartars, and there were more than a dozen Jiannu regular soldiers.
An alert Dolgon noticed that the sporadic sentry horses were missing, and his scalp was numb, and he realized that he might be being calculated by the cunning "Red Banner Army" again.
He dealt with it decisively, and simply stopped trying to sneak close to Dushikou, taking the Tartar Thousand Men as the front, and the main force followed closely behind the open fire to attack and advance.
Finding that the Qing soldiers had learned to be obedient, the cavalry musketeers fired Minnie guns in dangerous areas and fired several rounds of spontaneous guns, causing the Tartar cavalry to retreat calmly and return to the fortress.
When Dolgon approached the mouth of the Dushi at the foot of the Great Wall and found the red flag waving, he knew that the raid plan had failed, and did not attempt to attack at all, so he retreated with his men and horses.
Duoduo went to the mouth of Xifeng in vain, losing nearly a hundred men and began to retreat.
At this time, Huang Yizhou had already led a battalion of Shang Keyi's men and horses to the Guancheng, and Shang Keyi and Liu Fenyong both thought that it was enough for the infantry of the "Red Banner Army" to guard the Guancheng and the border wall, so they asked for an order to concentrate the cavalry to follow and harass the Qing soldiers, and strive to get some more gains.
Huang Yizhou did not refuse the two generals' request for war, and handed over his own personal cavalry to Liu Fenyong to command, reminding them not to be greedy for merit and rash to prevent unnecessary losses.
Liu Fenyong and Shang Keyi are not ordinary people, and the cavalry commanders under their command, Pan Yingyong and Jin Zhongbang, are also fierce people.
Together with the battalion commander's personal guard cavalry, nearly 2,800 knights with double rides followed them for 500 miles like maggots on tarsal bones, and only retreated after seeing the Qing soldiers go out of the mountains.
The two brothers Dolgon and Duoduo were already very careful, and when they retreated, they also organized 3,000 men and horses to occupy favorable terrain and prepare to ambush the pursuing soldiers of the Ming army, but unfortunately they were defeated, and the Ming army was not fooled at all.
Whenever the Qing cavalry that arranged the ambush really retreated, the Ming army behind lost no time in chasing after the buttocks, beating guns, and firing guns, and each time there would always be a loss of at least a dozen unlucky ghosts who ran slowly.
This is the home advantage is reflected, Liu Fenyong's cavalry has a lot of clairvoyant mirrors, and the locations for climbing and observing are all selected before, how easy is it for the Qing army to fight an ambush with one or two thousand cavalry?
Moreover, Liu Fenyong came out in the spirit of taking advantage of the careful thinking, and did not think of starting a big war with the men and horses in his hands, and firing the Mini gun from a distance on the galloping war horse, even if he looked at the sky, he could also hit some Qing soldiers with a little back.
