Chapter 668: The more people fight, the more they fight

Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, went to Xuanda and Shanxi to supervise the division, and Liu Zhilun was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of War.

Zhang Fengyi, who received the holy decree, was ecstatic, knowing that he had escaped, he rushed to Bauhinia Pass the next day, and he was not willing to stay in the capital for a moment.

In fact, Zhang Fengyi is not a traitor at all, he is capable and shrewd and capable, and he is also a poet.

Why is he written in "History of the Ming Dynasty" as a mess?

That's because most of the editors-in-chief of "History of the Ming Dynasty" are traitors and traitors, and the whole article is full of flattering words such as "I am in the Qing Dynasty", and their Spring and Autumn penmanship is just that.

Zhang Fengyi has works handed down, and there are too many insulting words to Jiannu between the lines, the most typical is to transliterate Nurhachi as "Nuer Hachi".

There were so many literary prisons in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is not surprising that Zhang Fengyi was reversed black and white.

The "Red Banner Army" attacked and advanced on three roads, and there were about 5,000 cavalry on each road that could be used in a concentrated manner.

Not only will the scouts scout the surrounding area, but the flag guards and dart masters operating in this area will also send information in time, and even many ordinary people will take the initiative to report the movements of the Tartars when they see the red flag display.

The name of the "Red Flag Army" was first called by the fathers and villagers of Yongping Mansion in the spring of the third year of Chongzhen, and now it has been fighting for more than seven years.

The military and civilian officials and eunuchs of Shanxi and Xuanda were familiar with it, and they were all overjoyed when they saw the red flag display.

Thousands of people and scattered Ming troops who took the initiative to sign up and hoped to participate in the fight against the invaders, and even many scholars carried their swords and asked to throw their pens from Rong Gandang, the general of the conquest.

The Qing soldiers seemed to have fallen into the vast ocean of the people's war, and the "Red Banner Army", which was advancing vigorously, found that the enemy cavalry in front of it did not exceed 1,000, and directly charged and killed them by the cavalry.

Rashly encountering such a strong army, the Qing soldiers really had nothing to do, but they could only hope to flee.

Of course, it is unrealistic to escape, at least Wakda in Shuozhou City can't escape, and he doesn't dare to abandon the city and escape.

At this time, this kid was already frightened, because the news of the defeat of the Qing army came in three days, and the prince of Yu Duoduo led more than 20,000 men and horses to suffer defeat in the field, and the news of losing more than 3,000 hit all the children of the Eight Banners hard.

In order to be safe, he also sent three messengers to Henan to report to Emperor Chongde that the "Red Flag Army" was coming, and the bad news along the way was like a bamboo.

Of course, the news of the Qing army's deflated situation spread wildly among the Han people who were being coerced, and the attitude of many Han people who were good at seeing the wind and making rudders, who had been traitors for a month or two, suddenly took a 180-degree turn, and they no longer dared to raise their eyebrows when facing their compatriots.

Under the leadership of the Qiwei, with the cooperation of the ever-increasing number of Hermes-Epitek, and under the deliberate pretence of deafness and dumbness of many new traitors who were forced to helpless, more than 3,000 young and middle-aged Han people were preparing to launch a riot, of which more than 500 were disguised as traitors who had defected to Jiannu and could openly wield knives.

Fortunately, Jiannu was not stupid and refused to trust the new clothed minions, and there were only Manchurian cavalry, bannermen and Baoyi brought from Liaodong in Shuozhou City.

Otherwise, when the Ming army attacked the city, the rioting Han people immediately created chaos, and this fortified city was also captured because of the combination of inside and outside.

Doesn't Jiannu like to encircle and send reinforcements? Huang Han also liked it, he deliberately led the men and horses to move in the direction of Shuozhou City slowly, that is, he deliberately set aside time for Jiannu to concentrate his men and horses.

It is known that the men and horses who entered the customs did not carry artillery, and only some of the Han cavalry had firearms such as three-eyed guns, and the others basically used cold weapons.

Wouldn't it be a pity for the ancestors if you didn't fight for such a good opportunity and kill more Jiannu and Tartar?

The Qing soldiers were defeated in an instant in the battle of guarding Yanmen Pass, and then they were defeated and lost in the field battle, and now they have learned to make full use of the mobility of the cavalry to avoid the battle.

The men and horses of the four battalions that attacked and advanced in the northwest direction had only sporadic fighting for several days in a row, and they had not won much.

The main general, Song Pengfei, realized that Jiannu, who was bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, was instigated, and promptly arranged for Wang Zhanpeng to lead two thousand cavalry to attack Yingzhou, and arranged for Wang Zhicheng to lead two thousand cavalry to attack Hunyuan Prefecture.

He himself and Yang Guobing led the infantry to besiege the county seat of Shanyin, which was closest to Shuozhou City, the base camp in Jiannu Shanxi.

Fortunately, Song Pengfei reacted in time, Wang Zhanpeng and Wang Zhicheng did not need to carry out offensive and defensive battles at all, and the Qing soldiers had already received the order to shrink their forces, and they had no intention of holding the city at all.

They didn't expect the "Red Banner Army" to come so quickly, and they didn't know that the soldiers and horses that rushed to capture the city were the more than 2,000 cavalry they could see, and mistakenly thought that these horses were just forward troops.

Running was the only choice made by the Qing army, and the original plan to set fire to the city was completed too sloppily due to the hasty time, and the Han people in the city were unable to escape.

Therefore, Wang Zhanpeng and Wang Zhicheng, the two camp owners, not only completed the seizure of the city, but also rescued tens of thousands of Han people and seized a lot of materials and food, but the results were not satisfactory.

Song Pengfei and Yang Guobing's plan was also completed smoothly, and the Qing army took the initiative to abandon Shanyin County, but they had time to take away the Han people in the city and set a big fire.

The "Red Banner Army" effortlessly defeated the Yanmen Pass and defeated more than 20,000 cavalry of the Qing army in the field battle.

It was when the three-way army was marching forward and refused to contain the Ming army's rout and asked to join the army.

The scattered Ming army did not fall into the grass to find the "Red Flag Army" at this time, such behavior is worth encouraging, and after the necessary screening, most of them were left to temporarily serve as a guard army, with more than 5,000 people.

Many relatives died at the hands of Jiannu, or young adults who were coerced to Shuozhou City knelt down and begged to follow the general to attack Shuozhou City, gambling and vowing to be willing to risk death to carry cloud ladders and push shield carts to fight for the "Red Banner Army".

Such a source of soldiers is unwanted, of course Huang Han will stay, enough to collect more than 10,000 yuan.

How strong should an army be with more and more men?

The military operation of the "Red Banner Army" into Shanxi is destined to gain fame and fortune, and perhaps minus the battle losses, it is unknown whether it will be able to produce 100,000 more Weisuo troops when it returns.

After receiving the task, Hanzi dealt with it more decisively, and he arranged for Yang Jian and Fang Liandong, two battalion commanders, to lead the infantry and artillery to march at a speed of more than 100 miles a day, and must ensure that they arrived at Ningwu Pass, which was 200 miles away, before dark the next day.

Concentrate on cavalry to use Hanzi's favorite, and because the proportion of non-commissioned officers in his direct battalion exceeds that of other battalions, he should be the king of the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army".
