Therefore, unless they encounter an absolute numerical disadvantage, the four battalions of the "Red Banner Army" must use wheelbarrows to defend and counterattack on the spot.

In the case of almost the same difference between soldiers and horses, it is completely possible to open the way with artillery fire and Minnie guns to beat the ghosts of the Qing army crying wolf.

The "Red Banner Army" was not afraid of being trapped by the Qing army with superior forces, nor was it afraid that the enemy cavalry would be broken through after the formation was chaotic due to the non-stop attack on the army formation, because the backward Qing soldiers needed to shoot arrows within 50 steps of the army formation before they could attack the army formation.

It is a pity that the "Red Banner Army" will not give the enemy such an opportunity, and at a distance of five miles, twenty-seven Hongyi cannons will be fired.

When it was close to two or three hundred paces, the 160 Franco-one-pound cannons and nearly 3,000 Mini guns in the military formation were fired, how many corpses would be left behind in order to just get close to the "Red Banner Army" array?

Jiannu is particularly afraid of fighting a war of attrition, in the final analysis, Jiannu is more afraid of death, and it is impossible to bear two or three percent of casualties and attack with his life.

It is estimated that even if the "Red Banner Army" gains an advantage, it will be difficult to inflict mass destruction on Jiannu, because the Tunguska savages will take advantage of the cavalry advantage to escape.

However, the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" was not a spectator, and it was still possible to choose to rely on the infantry formation to pursue twenty or thirty miles and leave a part of the enemy cavalry.

They were not afraid of a counterattack by the Qing troops, and the infantry formation would move at a speed of five miles per hour, and when they found that the enemy cavalry had regrouped in formation to counter-charge, the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" would be met within an hour of fighting and retreating.

In Shuozhou City, it is not too much to describe the food and materials stolen by Jiannu and Tartars as piled up.

Although they grabbed a large amount of food that they might not be able to transport at all, they refused to give the coerced people an extra bite to eat.

The more than 200,000 people who were arrested were only able to receive two bowls of paste and one multigrain cake on time every day, barely starving to death.

There were so many people and large animals gathered that Shuozhou City could not accommodate it at all, and countless shacks and ground nests were erected around the city wall.

As soon as the night is cold and the moon is cold, the wind is blowing, and the cries will sound one after another, and the city of Shuozhou in the dark night is as gloomy as a ghost nest, which makes people shudder.

Wakda was responsible for garrisoning Shuozhou City to guard the capture of Gongzhong, and the men and horses here were also 1,000 troops from the Eight Banners, plus 8,000 Mongolian light cavalry and 2,000 Han cavalry led by Wu Sangui and his son, for a total strength of 18,000.

Each banner also left a lot of bannermen and clothed servants to manage supplies and livestock, and these traitors wielding knives numbered four or five thousand, and they drove two or three Han Chinese into servitude respectively.

Among them, there are also many Han people who choose to help and abuse in order to get a few more multigrain cakes every day.

At the end of October, the Qing army had entered the Daming Pass and plundered for more than four months, and more things had been accumulated in the city of Shuozhou, and more than 300,000 Han people were ready to be brought back to Liaodong, and the old, weak, sick and disabled would die of hunger every day.

Some people even had a faint breath and were dragged away and buried deep by the bannermen, and Jiannu now actually understands that not drinking raw water can reduce diseases, at least they themselves drink cold boiled water as much as possible.

Huang Han emphasized in Daming that he should pay close attention to urban health, and he could not hide the health knowledge widely advertised to the whole people.

It's just that I didn't expect Jiannu to learn so quickly, and I actually knew how to bury the corpse deep to prevent the plague.

Shuozhou City has such a large concentration of population, livestock, and materials, and Jiannu knows that it can't be hidden.

They did not fear an attack, because there were 18,000 cavalry in charge of defending Shuofang City, and they also had four or five thousand bannermen and clothed minions.

Now that the minions have accepted 10,000 new minions, 18,000 cavalry can really go out of the city to attack the enemy, and the guards in the city have 5,000 old minions and 10,000 new minions.

Since Nurhachi's beginnings, Jiannu have not suffered a single defeat in a field battle against more than 10,000 people, and their self-confidence is infinite.

Due to the death of two brothers in battle, one infected with smallpox and died, and because his father Daishan eased relations with Emperor Chongde, the fourth Wakda was reused, and it is likely to take over the position of Lao Tzu as the owner of the Red Banner in the future.

His ability to command 18,000 cavalry and thousands of clothed minions this time is the best opportunity to perform, and if he does a good job, he will definitely be rewarded, at least he can be promoted from Bei Zi to Jue Baylor.

Wakda thought that with such a force, it would be easy to defend Shuofang City and preserve the advantages of grabbing the flags, and he even hoped that there would be a Ming army that dared to come and pick up the tiger's whiskers, so as to give him a great opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

Moreover, the cavalry of the Qing army attacked in four ways, not every way into the interior of the Ming Dynasty for thousands of miles, at least the two white flag elites and more than 20,000 Mongolian light cavalry who attacked and advanced to the west felt that the oil and water were not very interesting and retreated to Shanxi to prepare to seize a few cities.

This group of men and horses was led by the brothers Dorgon and Duoduo, and they would definitely be able to arrive within two days of receiving the news that they would rush to rescue Shuozhou City.

The flag guards had already reported back the situation in Shuofang City, and now dozens of the hundreds of thousands of Han people who were arrested in Shuozhou City were flag guards, but most of the flag guards did not know each other.

They usually have a single line of contact, and only know the upline, downline, and their own group members.

In order to deceive the trust of Jiannu, some flag guards took the initiative to find the flag Ding to nod and take the initiative to ask to be a slave, and these people can succeed nine times out of ten, and now they can show off their might with a knife in their hands.

The flag guard who took the initiative to be a slave is in the light, and the flag guard hidden in the Han people is in the dark.

They first used the flag guards who pretended to be slaves to bully the young Han people who looked at them, and looked at the reactions of these people, and after discovering the Han people who refused to bow their heads easily, there would be a flag guard to contact.

At that time, it was revealed that the "Red Flag Army" would soon fight in Shuozhou City to rescue everyone, and vaguely told the Han people who refused to be slaves that they were actually working for the "Red Flag Army".

Today, the "Red Banner Army" is famous, and it is already a household name in Daming, and the promise of "starving to death and not robbing the people" is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Unwilling to bow his head easily, Han Min learned that the "Red Banner Army" would not sit idly by and watch the Jiannu and Tartars wreak havoc, and hope rose in everyone's hearts.

At the time of contacting Hermes-Epitek to fight against him, two groups of flag guards were plotting against the same group, and they dramatically discovered that each other's routines were the same during their long conversations with Hermes-Epitek.

After a few different versions of the code, the two groups of flag guards hugged each other excitedly, causing many Han people to be confused.

The happy flag guards began to cooperate, and after ten days, more than 1,000 young adults were secretly in contact, and the prepared guillotine, hoe, pole, pickaxe and other weapons were also quietly hidden in the shack.
