Chapter 13: The Battle of Jinzhouwei II

Tu Hai tested the formation of the Xia army once.

It's just that although Zheng Chenggong is not as powerful as naval warfare in land warfare, Zheng Chenggong was also fought in World War I, and he is not a beginner.

And in the military system of the Xia Dynasty, the most important thing is the military formation.

A large number of officers in the martial arts hall, and what he learned the most in the martial arts hall was also the change in the military formation. Whether it is the infantry to fight against the cavalry, or to better exert the power of fire and artillery, this is the most important course.

There is no one who is an officer who is born in a martial arts hall who is not incomprehensible.

Therefore, even if Zheng Chenggong doesn't have to worry about it at all, Xia Jun's posture is also flawless. Tuhai fell into battle several times, dropped a lot of men and horses, and also tried, with the help of horsepower on the horse, the grenade-bomb was smashed far into the ranks of the Xia army.

Then let the horse go and impact.

But such an offensive is still difficult to shake, and the Xia army is in formation.

First of all, behind the Xia army was the Hongyi cannon. The Hongyi cannon has a range of miles high, allowing it to cover the entire battlefield.

As for the effect of the Hongyi cannon on the battlefield, Tuhai had just started, and he didn't have a too obvious feeling, but he soon understood that the most important point was to retreat a mile or two from the place where the Qing army was arrayed, and the reason was very simple, the Hongyi cannon was not accurate. But the formation of large groups of men and horses is still easy to bombard.

So as soon as Tu Hai came to the front of the battle, he hadn't made a move yet, and the first thing he encountered was the bombardment of Hongyi artillery.

A few shells only killed three or five horsemen, and this was still the cavalry that had just set off and gathered relatively densely.

Almost when the first cannon landed, the cavalry of the Qing army dispersed in an instant as if it were a startled horse, and the first cannon followed by several shots were all hit in the open space. All failed.

However, even so, it had a great impact on the Qing army.

At least the cavalry should be dispersed two miles away from the Xia army's formation, and a team of more than 100 horsemen should avoid the blow of artillery fire.

In this way, this is very problematic in the first place.

After all, cavalry also needs to be numerous, even if he blows up one or two gaps with a grenade, and there is no large number of cavalry behind him, it is absolutely impossible to break through the formation. Even if you have a little advantage, you will be lost by the sea of people.

That alone is pretty bad.

Not to mention, among the Xia army's infantry formation, there are still a lot of firearms and artillery, and the firepower is quite dense.

Tuhai tried several times, but he could only come back and report to Azig: "The slave is not good in battle, please punish the prince." ”

Azig held the clairvoyant mirror and didn't put it down, and said, "I saw it all." "Since Tuhai's attack, Azig has been watching from afar with a clairvoyant mirror, Tuhai's every move is in Azig's eyes, Tuhai's actions cannot be said to be without mistakes, but there are generally no mistakes.

Even if he went into battle himself, it would probably be nothing more than that.

It's not that there's anything wrong with Tu Hai, it's that the gap between the combat power of the two sides is here.

So Azig didn't mean to blame Tuhai.

Tu Hai knelt under the horse, he hesitated slightly, and said, "Lord Wang, the Xia army's formation cannot be attacked. ”

Azig smiled slightly, put down the clairvoyant mirror, and said, "In battle, be patient, and give the order to rest on the spot." ”

Azig gave an order, and most of the Qing troops rested on the spot, although there was still a Qing cavalry that did not stop at all. On the battlefield, from time to time, there were fierce explosions. But on the whole, it tends to be calm.

It seems that the two sides are engaged in a strange silent war.

But Zheng Chenggong is very clear.

This is the usual trick of cavalry.

He was waiting for Xia Jun to be tired from the formation.

After all, it is not an easy thing to stand in line on the battlefield, and it is a matter of considerable physical strength and willpower.

After all, please also ask the harassment of the Qing cavalry, don't let your guard down when the Qing army is resting, as long as you relax your vigilance, Azig may rush over and launch an offensive in an instant.

The superiority of cavalry in the speed of maneuver is indeed enviable, then it is only on the battlefield.

However, such a means can only be described as a small trick.

The entire battlefield was not too wide, no more than three or four miles in total, and the camp of the Xia army was a little higher.

There is a camp at the back as a support.

There are supplies at any time, so the time that Xia Jun can hold on is quite long. And the Xia army formation also has enough thickness.

It's a breeze to deal with something like this.

Zheng Chenggong gave an order, and in front of the Qing army, the front and rear military formations of the Xia army changed places.

And between these handovers, there was no flaw for Azig to find that he could attack.

In this way, the war is much more depressing. After a day of confrontation, more than 100 people died on both sides. More than 100 casualties are quite large for many people.

But this gathered nearly 100,000 people in the battle, and it was almost the same as not fighting.

To put it mildly, there have been dozens of non-combat attrition of the army from North Korea to here.

This shows that there was no fighting at all.

And both sides are quite patient, and this will be the case for the next few days.

The battle here in Jinzhouwei is still in a stalemate.

In Phoenix, there has been progress.

After several days of artillery bombardment, Liang Huafeng broke the wall of Phoenix, and then the Japanese army rushed up, and after a day of fighting, finally captured Phoenix.

And at this moment, Liang Huafeng, surrounded by soldiers, walked into Phoenix City.

Phoenix City is one of the military castles established by the Ming army

One, from the very beginning of its construction, it was for a military purpose. Therefore, the location of Phoenix City is located on a high ground, and Liang Huafeng is going up step by step, so that he can enter Phoenix City.

However, as soon as you enter Phoenix. Liang Huafeng smelled a pungent smell of blood, and there were corpses everywhere in the small Phoenix City.

There are Koreans, and a considerable number of them are Liaodong corpses.

Liang Huafeng sighed in his heart. But I also know that this situation is partly due to the Japanese.

The nature of the Japanese is like this, and the brutality of the Japanese is not a day or two, even Liang Huafeng turns a blind eye.

After all, now that we are employing people, let people go into battle to fight, and we must always give a little benefit.

However, Liang Huafeng has already issued a strict order, as long as those who resist can kill, and indiscriminately kill innocents, they will definitely be dealt with.

So, today's scene. It's not just the Japanese reason.

It's a matter of people's hearts.

There are some things that he hasn't thought about before Liang Huafeng enters Liaodong, but only after he really enters Liaodong can he really understand one thing.

Liaodong and Kannai have different decisions.

In Guannai, no matter which province, the people's hearts were not in the Qing court, and even in the city of Beijing, which was made by the Qing army's policy of enclosing land, there were quite a few people who were not satisfied with the Qing court.

But in Liaodong it is different.

It can really be used in Longzhong to describe the words of Eastern Wu, that is, the East captives live in Liaodong, with the three generations of history, the country is dangerous and the people are attached, and the virtuous can be used for it.

Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that although the old slave caused a terrible massacre in Liaodong in his later years. But despite the reign of Huang Taiji, people have forgotten the tragedy that preceded it.

All the remaining people of Liaodong are the diehards of Dongyu.

In the hearts of the people of Liaodong, Dongyu has long been regarded as Zhengshuo. That's why there was this kind of spontaneous resistance to the attack of the Xia army.

And at this moment, Liang Huafeng really has a feeling of being in a foreign country, although he fought in North Korea before, he was really in a foreign country, at least most of the people do not understand Chinese, and they do not understand the language. However, the Korean people were willing to serve the Xia army, with all kinds of intelligence support, and even as civilian aid to military supplies.

But here, it seems that the mountain hunters are hostile to them, so be careful with each step.

Even when marching, there were falling rocks and rolling logs from high places, and many soldiers were killed and injured. But I couldn't find anyone, and at a glance, I knew that it was made by locals.

This feeling of trembling made Liang Huafeng very uncomfortable. He had an ominous premonition in his heart.

It's just that what he should do, he still has to do it.

Faced with everything in front of him, he could only sigh lightly and said, "Clean up the body and bury it deeply." And this summer is coming. Don't make the plague. ”

"Yes." Someone immediately agreed.

"Continue to march, and the goal is Lianshan Pass." Liang Huafeng said.
