Chapter 141: The Battle of Dalong Mountain
Chapter 141: The Battle of Dalong Mountain
Near Anqing City, there are many lakes and few mountains, and Dalong Mountain is already the highest peak in the vicinity.
And at this moment, on the foothills of Dalong Mountain, the fierce battle can be strong. The main commander of the Qing army in this battle was Wu Dahai. As a general of the Manchu dynasty, he followed Dolgon and Duoduo many times. From Duoduo to attack the Teng Si machine, it has also made great contributions. He was also a close confidant of Dord. He is also a cousin of the same generation as Duoduo.
At this moment, Wu Dahai is standing on the top of the foot of Dalong Mountain, Dalong Mountain is a small mountain, although there are several peaks, but what he really wants to seize is the one in the south. Now Wu Dahai stands on the top of the mountain, and he can see the outline of Anqing City from afar.
The mountain is not steep, and there is a small camp on top of the mountain. Therefore, the Qing army stationed a group of men and horses on it, not many, about thousands, and also placed a lot of artillery, so the condescending cannon rumbled.
The Wuda Sea Division was not all Eight Banner soldiers, but a mixture of Manchu and Han. The Eight Banners are the men and horses of the Wuda Sea Headquarters. There were also some Han soldiers as auxiliaries.
At this moment, there are layers of guards on the mountain road, although there are not many people, but they do not fall into the wind. Wu Dahai saw that the flags below were heavy one after another. The largest is the Weiwang Banner.
At this moment, it is Yuan Shizhong who is supervising the battle.
Yuan Shizhong did not rush to the front, but promoted several old departments, with Yuan Shimin as the leader, each leading thousands of men and horses, to attack Dalong Mountain. Today's Yuan Shizhong is not what it used to be, Yuan Shizhong, who didn't know how to fight at the beginning, after several tempering, is also a little handy in the use of soldiers.
Although the war was elevated to the height of art. But down the road, it can also be said to be a craft work, even if the qualifications are mediocre, as long as there are more wars, there will be a little experience. It may not be possible to reach the realm of Wei Huo. But it can also support the scene, and there is nothing missing.
It's just that no one can afford to pay the price. Only in troubled times, a group of people are naturally screened out. Who knows how many lives were paid for it?
Lieutenant General Yuan Shi's camp is located in the northwest direction of Dalong Mountain, which is also a high slope. In the north, there are also several peaks, which are the remnants of Dalong Mountain. Yuan Shizhong's camp is close to the mountains in the north and condescending in the south, and it is also a good camp. Can be used as a support. Opposite Anqing City, the Qing army did not dare to advance westward, and this kind of terrain also made the cavalry of the Qing army useless.
At this moment, his main camp was only a few miles away from the camp, guarding against a sudden attack by the Qing army. I don't know how many probe horses have been released around, and as soon as the Qing army leaves the camp, this side will know. You can retreat to the camp.
Yuan Shizhong held a clairvoyant mirror to look over at this moment, but saw that in the green mountains, such and such flags loomed among the mountains and trees.
The attack on the mountains is still not as good as the plains, because of the mountain situation, many places will not send troops to attack. Although Dalongshan is not a famous mountain. However, some steep places are not very suitable for attacking the city, so Yuan Shizhong chose the west side of Dalongshan, several slopes, as a passage for attack.
These gentle slopes can be used as roads, and even terraces can be carved out. But if you want to accommodate a large army to fight, you can't. They could only disperse and go in separate ways, but the Qing army's artillery was fierce, and the Xia army's offensive was slow for a while.
Seeing this, Jin Shenghuan couldn't help it, stepped forward to bow down, and said, "Lord Wang, please let me go out of battle." ”
Yuan Shizhong said: "No hurry, no hurry. ”
In the past few years, Jin Shenghuan has become the first general under Yuan Shizhong, the most important in Yuan Shizhong, in the Northern Expedition, Henan, Xinyang battles, are the first in the war, and he also has the name of an earl.
When he set out on the expedition, he was specially summoned by Zhang Xuan and appeased him for a while.
Jin Shenghuan is in high morale at the moment, and he wholeheartedly wants to fight for a hereditary reckless feat at the time of the founding of the country. I could barely hold it back.
Yuan Shizhong is much more stable.
Speaking of which, for Yuan Shizhong, the set in the court was much easier for him to learn than fighting. In Luo Rucai, Luo Yulong's father and son two generations, especially when Luo Yulong was in power, he vigorously cut the domain, but he didn't target Luo Yulong.
Of course, this is because Luo Yulong knows that things must be prioritized. But there is also Yuan Shizhong's wrist. He cooperated with Luo Yulong's various actions, and took the initiative to the point where Luo Yulong himself felt that he had to be appeased, and let his family stay in Fengyang for a short time to visit Luo Yulong.
It was Luo Yulong's decision that allowed Yuan Shizhong's family to escape the catastrophe of Nanjing. Originally in the army, later placed in Xinyang, this time the battle was placed in Wuchang.
The more he experienced, the more calm Yuan Shizhong became, with the calmness of a country's important ministers, but in this calmness, there was also a little twilight. Whenever you think about a war, you have to think about everything before you start. But there are few foolproof strategies on the battlefield, so Yuan Shizhong's decision-making is a little conservative. This attitude became more and more obvious after Yuan Shizhong became king.
First, he felt that wealth was enough, and he had reached the point of humility and self-preservation. He was only born in a poor country country, and within a few years, as a prince, he was only a few in the Great Xia. Becoming the core of Great Xia's power, while he was grateful to Zhang Xuan, he didn't want anything wrong. As long as you can keep this throne, it is enough, and it is logical to add a hereditary line to the king in terms of meritorious deeds and rewards after the world is decided.
Second, he also knows that a companion is like a tiger. He is already the king of Wei, and again
Above, what can be rewarded? He knows too well what the outcome is. Naturally, I don't ask for merit, and I don't ask for it.
Fortunately, Jin Shenghuan is here.
Compared with Jin Shenghuan and Yuan Shizhong, although the two are similar in age, their attitudes are completely different. Jin Shenghuan is a sharp knife. It is the heart of fame that is very hot. Especially in Jin Shenghuan's heart, he may not be able to afford Yuan Shizhong much, and feels that Yuan Shizhong can have today, but it is due to luck.
Jin Shenghuan said: "Lord Wang, Your Majesty has asked how the battle in Dalong Mountain is going several times? How not to rush? ”
Yuan Shizhong said: "The matter of war is relaxed. On this big dragon mountain, there are only thousands of people and horses, and the mountain is not dangerous. If you want to capture it, you can capture it. But what happens after it's captured? ”
Jin Shenghuan listened, pondered for a moment, and said, "The Qing army will never let Dalongshan be in my hands. ”
Yuan Shizhong said: "Yes. Exactly. Yuan Shizhong's eyes flashed, and he said: "How do we want Dalongshan, as long as the day of the decisive battle, Dalongshan is in hand, and the situation on the mountain has already been discussed in the past few days." The Qing army has repeatedly defeated our army, and its morale has become arrogant. When the time comes, it's just a matter of one drum, rest assured, it's time to use you. ”
Jin Shenghuan listened to Yuan Shizhong's calculations, and he also admired it a little in his heart.
Yuan Shizhong had two advantages in doing this, the first was that he did not have to fight repeatedly with the Qing army in Dalongshan and consume troops, and second, he used the strength of the Qing army to build a good fort in Dalongshan without them having to spend more effort. You must know that although Dalong Mountain is not steep, it is also a problem to transport dozens of Hongyi cannons weighing more than 1,000 catties.
Of course, the only question asked was whether Yuan Shizhong could do it with one drum.
But Jin Shenghuan never cared about this problem. This is because he has been watching the battle for several days, and he is already familiar with the various methods of the Qing army, and he has already thought about how to deal with it. If it weren't for the confidence that he could win the mountain in one fell swoop, Jin Shenghuan would not have asked for his life easily.
"The prince is wise." Jin Shenghuan complimented, but he was a little sincere.
Yuan Shizhong said: "General Jin, you are looking at it now, and when you are used, there must be no mistakes." ”
Jin Shenghuan said: "The last general understands. As soon as he agreed, he raised the clairvoyant mirror to observe carefully, and the two of them did not speak for a while, as if they were immersed in the observation of the Qing army's position, as for their plan, how many Xia soldiers died on the slopes of Dalong Mountain. But he didn't care.
"Report." In the distance, there was a burst of horses' hooves, saying, "There is a change in the camp of the Eastern Prisoners. ”
