Chapter 864: Chang Dashuai's first battle
Tie Xuan is right, the army of the imperial court is coming!
Chang Tong listened to Zhu Xiongying's words, and fought steadily along the way, hundreds of thousands of people set off from the end of summer, and saw that it was about to enter winter before they arrived in Jinan Mansion from Yingtian.
However, the navy people were greedy for merit, although they said that they landed in Zhigu, but before they could gain a firm foothold, they were beaten by Zhu Di and driven back to the sea with a blue nose and swollen face. If it weren't for the fact that Mao Xiang was his father's old boss, Chang Tong would have impeached him a long time ago.
Changtong wants to implement the strategy of steady and steady to the end, even in Jinan, there is no rush to rescue, and the whole Hebei has lost Jinan.
First of all, he set up camp and let the soldiers of the labor expedition rest, and did not forget to instruct his subordinates to investigate the military situation in detail, "Remember, you must inquire clearly, especially who is the leader of the army and horses in Yan Rebellion's tracks!" ”
The coach for more than two months is not in vain, Chang Tong seems to be decent, of course, Tang Ding gave him a lot of advice, which general did not grow up little by little, Tang Ding was still a second-year teenager.
Tang Dingyu said: "Yan swept Hebei, only Jinan in Shandong held on for more than a month, this Jinan's guard, the chief official must be a rare talent, the marshal should show his merits to the imperial court." In particular, the guard general Sheng Yong has experience in fighting against Yan Rebellion, so it is best to transfer to the account and listen to it. ”
Chang Tong nodded, "Listen to Uncle Tang, the emperor deserves to reward meritorious people, and Ben Shuai will write a chapter for them to ask for credit." Then he asked people to send an order to Jinan and send Sheng Yong to his account to listen to it.
After writing the recital, people sent it to Yingtian, Chang Tong took out a booklet again, held it in his hand and read it with relish, and smiled and nodded from time to time as if he had benefited a lot from it.
Along the way, Tang Ding looked curious and asked, "What is the general looking at?" Could it be a clever plan given by the emperor? ”
Chang Tong smiled, "Uncle will come and take a look!" I also turned a few pages to Tang Ding, only to see that there was a more exquisite cover under the blue cover, which read the October issue of "The Tale of Renlun", and inside was a beautiful color illustration, as for what was drawn, it was self-evident.
"There are countless concubines in my uncle's family, and I must be a fellow believer, I haven't left every issue of this monthly, only the one in February of the thirty-first year of Hongwu, how can I not find it, I don't know if my uncle's family has a collection."
Tang Ding almost forgot that the person in front of him also has another nickname "King of Qinhuai", as the name suggests, he is the king of Qinhuaihe, and his reputation in Qinhuaihe is far greater than that of his father.
The corners of Tang Ding's mouth twitched, "The last general doesn't have this hobby, but I can remind the marshal that Taizu died in February of the thirty-first year of Hongwu, and it should not be published." ”
Chang Tong patted his head, "Eighty percent is yes, or my uncle is careful, I didn't expect it." The people in this bookstore didn't remind me, and I searched for many years in vain.
The editor-in-chief of this book is getting less and less level, don't look at the paper illustrations are getting more and more exquisite, but the characters have no charm, far inferior to my collection of uncle's authentic works, this time he finally came back to Yingtian, I wanted to ask him for a few more, who knew he didn't see me......"
"Dashuai take a look, the last general will go to patrol the camp first!" Tang Ding felt that it was really unseemly for the two marshals to talk about the spring palace map in the marshal's tent, so he had to leave after finding a reason.
Along the way, Chang Tong gave him face as an elder, and he asked him first about everything before making a decision, and he was not good at relying on the old and selling the old, because of this trivial matter, there was a dispute in plain way.
A soldier hurriedly barged in and said, "The army of Yan Rebellion is coming, heading for our camp. ”
Tang Ding said to Chang Channel: "Please send an order to the whole army to prepare for war immediately!" ”
"Well, the herald orders the whole army to prepare for battle at once!"
The real army is still behind, and the army where the two of them are located is both the Chinese army and the vanguard, with about 60,000 people, which can be regarded as elite. Under the order, the action was natural and fast, and before the arrival of the Yan army, the assembly had been completed, the queue was neat, the muskets were like a forest, and the muzzles of the guns were numerous.
At the beginning, Ma Du didn't understand that the equipment of the Ming army was not much different from the first battle in later generations, and the battle formation was still the same as before.
It wasn't until later that he figured out that the enemies of the Ming army in recent years had used broadswords, bows, arrows, and even bamboo guns and stone tools, and this linear tactic could indeed carry out more effective one-sided slaughter. I believe that after the Battle of Jingjing, no matter who wins, they will learn a lesson, and they will change it.
As the smoke and dust billowed on, a black line was seen in the telescope, with the cavalry in front, the foot soldiers in large carts behind, and the artillery in the rear. The Yan army stopped eight miles away, and if it was closer, it would have to eat cannons.
Chang Tong put down his binoculars, "I'm afraid that there will be forty or fifty thousand horses, it seems that Yan Yi is planning to find Ben Shuai to fight hard, and attack immediately while they have a foothold to maintain stability!" ”
After giving the order, Chang Tong did not forget to ask Tang Ding softly, "Uncle Tang, there is no problem with this handsome order." ”
Tang Ding arched his hand and said, "That's right!" ”
There is nothing wrong with Changtong's military orders, but he ignores the combat power of the Yan cavalry and the Ming cavalry, and the two are not at the same level at all.
Seeing that the cavalry of the Ming army was killed, the Yan army also sent a force of cavalry to meet it, and as soon as the two sides came into contact, they separated from each other, and only one of the cavalry of the Ming army quickly broke up and fled back.
For the combat power of the cavalry of the Ming army, Tang Ding, the deputy marshal, was also dumbfounded, although there had been no war in these years, but it was not so rotten, and he was relieved when he suddenly thought of the Long Xiang army, and the backbone elite were all taken away, that is, a puddle of rotten meat on the sticky board.
Seeing that the cavalry of the Yan army took advantage of the situation to follow behind them and rush into the Ming army's military formation, Tang Ding immediately and decisively ordered: "The artillery immediately open artillery to intercept!" ”
"Uncle Tang, our people haven't escaped yet!"
"When they fled back, Yan Yi's cavalry also came in, so they could only be considered unlucky! Hurry up! ”
Boom Boom Boom ......
Whoosh ......
The cannon roared and the shells exploded in the Yan cavalry, and the rockets also whistled and dragged a long white smoke to the oncoming Yan army, and the flesh and blood flew in the smoke and dust, and the Yan cavalry did not care about rushing into battle, and fled faster than the previous Ming army.
"Haha......" Chang Tong laughed and said: "It's still good to use artillery, and the artillery truck in front of the battle will move forward two miles to beat Ben Shuai hard!" The other armies moved forward one mile, and once Yan rebelled and dispersed, he would be killed by Ben Shuai. ”
After giving the military order, Chang Tong didn't forget to turn his head and ask Tang Ding, "Uncle thinks this commander is right?" ”
Tang Ding nodded slightly, "There's nothing wrong with it!" Tang Ding can see that the Ming army is superior in terms of numbers and firearms, and the face-to-face fight with a knife really can't beat the Yan army.
Of course, the Yan army also had firearms, and they also pushed the gun carriage to the front of the formation, and the artillery on both sides raced against time to fix the gun carriage, adjust the gun muzzle, load ammunition, and strive to strike first.
"Zhuyuan is loaded, request to launch!"
"Launch!"
More than 1,000 doors on both sides roared in unison, throwing whistling shells into each other's camps, booming and booming......
For the first time in history, the large-scale artillery bombardment occurred so recklessly, and there was also an unprecedented spectacle, both sides of the battle were frantically fleeing, whether it was the Yan army or the Ming army, only the artillery was still constantly loading ammunition, accelerating the collapse of both sides......
