Chapter 327: Fighting
The original policy against the three ladies and Bu Ta's faux pas needs to be changed, and there are too many things that can't be done. Of course, there is no need to explain things, and Zhu Yijun does not bother to explain.
Stretching his waist, Zhu Yijun's gaze turned back to the map, it's almost time to fight, right?
The fifth day of the third month.
This day is the day when the three-way army is out of the fortress, and the sun has not yet come out, and the army has already begun to make food. After eating, the men and horses were pulled out, out of the plug to fight, and the target was to take the three parts of Duoyan.
Li Chengliang looked at Nurhachi, who was hurrying over, and a smile appeared on his face.
"You go back and garrison Jianzhou and pacify the place, this time you don't need to follow us out of the fortress!" This is Li Chengliang's reply to Nurhachi, and he is no longer needed.
In fact, Li Chengliang was very confident in his subordinates and never intended to use Nurhachi.
At sunrise, the horn sounded, Li Chengliang ordered the army to pull out, and the Jinzhou army officially began the battle against the Taining Department.
In Shenyang, Qi Jiguang also gave the same order, and the Beijing battalion officially sent troops, targeting the rest of the Fu.
Daning Xifeng mouth, Zhang Weixian said goodbye to the governor Wu Dui, and took Jiliao's men and horses out of the fortress, officially starting the war against the Duoyan Department. In fact, there is no need to go far to attack Duoyanbu.
Because the Duoyan Department was one hundred and fifty miles outside Daning City, the cavalry basically arrived in one day.
Sitting on the horse, Zhang Weixian looked around, there was no expression on his face, the cavalry was guarding on both wings, and the scouts had already run out. An army of 100,000 marched forward.
"General Ma, this time is not trivial, don't be careless!"
By Zhang Weixian's side, two young generals sat on their horses and listened to Zhang Weixian's words with a serious face. Although both of them were surnamed Ma, both of them knew that what Zhang Weixian said was said to the person on the left.
The person on the left is from the Huaiyuan general of Sanpin, the general of Jizhou, Ma Dong.
The person on the right is Ma Lin, the general of Zhengsi Pin Guangwei and the deputy general of Jizhou.
Both of them are surnamed Ma, and they are brothers, Ma Dong is the elder brother, Ma Lin is the younger brother, and the father of these two people is the famous Ma Fang. The two of them have been fighting Tatars in Shanxi with their fathers since they were children, and they can be said to be fierce generals.
Although they are not as good as Ma Fang, they are very good at fighting, especially against cavalry.
When Zhang Weixian arrived in Jiliao, he brought these two from the capital, and it can be said that the cavalry of Jiliao, these two people were established single-handedly. At this time, it was finally time for them to play, and Zhang Weixian naturally wouldn't let them follow the army here slowly.
After listening to Zhang Weixian's words, Ma Dong said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the Admiral will not make a mistake this time." ”
In fact, whether it is Ma Dong or Ma Lin, they are all holding their breath in their hearts.
This tone is not their own, but their father's, their father is a Ming warrior, and he has been fighting for the Ming Dynasty all his life. It's just that he was born at the wrong time, and when His Majesty was knighted today, Dad couldn't move anymore.
Although they were posthumously crowned marquis, the two brothers felt that this was not enough.
The Ma family deserves a hereditary title!
Although Ma Dong is now a viscount and Marin is a baron, in the real nobles, the title starts from the earl. After all, there were no viscounts and barons in the Ming Dynasty, and in the eyes of the nobles, these two titles could not be put on the table.
The two brothers are very full of breath in their hearts, and there is Qi Jiguang's precedent to help, who doesn't want to seal the marquis immediately.
This time Zhang Weixian gave himself a chance, and the two brothers naturally had to seize it.
"That's great!" Zhang Weixian nodded, and then said: "The two of you led 20,000 cavalry to rush forward and take the Duoyan battalion directly, with only one goal, that is, to capture Changang alive." ”
This Chang Ang is Dong Fox's nephew, and after Dong Fox died, Chang Ang was the Great Khan of Duo Yan.
The reason why Zhang Weixian dared to let Ma Dong and Ma Lin attack this cargo with cavalry was very simple, because he was weak. How many people are there in the entire Duoyan Division? To be honest, Zhang Weixian didn't know.
But Zhang Weixian knows one thing, the population of the entire Duoyan Department is only 50,000.
It is already good to be able to gather 20,000 cavalry after taking out the old and young women. How many men did Ma Dong and Marin have? Twenty thousand!
20,000 Ming cavalry, all cavalry equipped with revelor muskets. Compared with the cavalry of Liaodong, Zhu Yijun, the cavalry of Jiliao, is more willing to spend his blood. At the beginning, Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Weixian to go to Jiliao, and he also had the intention of beware of Li Chengliang.
Therefore, the Jiliao Army is basically the place where Zhu Yijun has the most capital except for the Beijing camp.
With 20,000 Daming Iron to ride to fight Duoyan, Zhang Weixian felt that it was not a big problem.
It may not work in the past, but now, with the current strength of the Ming cavalry, Zhang Weixian Jue is okay. If 20,000 cavalry is enough, why mobilize 100,000 troops?
In fact, it is very simple, on the one hand, it is for training, although the Jiliao army has been in the army for a long time, but there are not many veterans who have really been in the battle array, take them out for a turn, feel the battlefield, this is very important.
On the other hand, there is the local Chahar, that is, the barbarians.
Back then, Dong Fox didn't give Chahar a lead party, if you say that among the Mongolian tribes, who is the most grassy and who is the most spineless, it is the three departments of Duoyan, they are the most unreliable.
I used to be a mercenary for Daming, and I worked when I was paid, but I was not honest, and I did a lot of looting.
So it's important to beware of Chahar, and there's another aspect, and that's to go further. Zhang Weixian knew in his heart that it was far from being possible to satisfy His Majesty's desires.
"General Ma, you don't have to worry about the other tribes, you have only one task, take people to raid the sweat tent of the Duoyan Department, and defeat Changang, it's best to capture it alive, if you can't capture it alive, then you will be killed!"
Zhang Weixian instructed again.
In fact, the Duoyan tribe was not gathered together, they were probably divided into three relatively large tribes, one was directly led by Changang, that is, where the sweat tent was located.
The other is Chang Ang's cousin, that is, Chang Ao's son Chang Ao, and the last one is Dong Fox's other brother, whose name is Chang Li, and the tribes of the three of them together form the Duoyan Tribe.
Zhang Weixian's strategy is very simple, first defeat the Changang tribe, that is, the sweat tent of the Duoyan Department.
The other two tribes, one in the east and one in the west, once the army moves forward, the Chang Ao on the west side is not to mention, and the Chang Li in the east is the turtle in the urn, and he can't run away if he wants to.
The long Ao department in the west, if you can beat it, you can catch up and beat it, and if you can't beat it, then let him run.
Chang Ao had two choices, one was to run to Chahar, and the other was to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Even if Chang Ao is allowed to run first, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty may not be able to catch up with his cavalry, but what about the rest of the tribe? What about children and women? What about the cattle of the tribes?
