Chapter 816: Cutting off the way back
He reviewed the gains and losses, believing that the first few times when the main force of the Qing Army encountered the main force of the "Red Flag Army" did not get the right time and place.
Also because it was a long-distance attack and could not carry heavy weapons, so there was nothing to be done in the face of the "Red Banner Army" hiding behind the wheelbarrow formation, and the Manchurian cavalry did not want to escape, so they could only use their flesh and blood to collide.
If the Tianyou Booster General Cannon is carried, all the problems will be solved, and with only three rounds of artillery fire, the array of the "Red Banner Army" will be chaotic, and the Qing Army's iron cavalry will be like a bamboo.
The Red Gangster learned from the pain and decided that every engagement was Huang Han's work at ease, so the Qing army was very passive.
That guy has been talking about Pingliao for five years, okay, I'm waiting to fight the "Red Flag Army" under Shengjing City.
Liaodong is, of course, the home of the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry, and the shortest distance between Shengjing and the sea is more than 400 li.
At that time, the supply line of the "Red Banner Army" will be attacked by Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry, and the men and horses transporting heavy artillery will need a large number of men and horses to protect them before they can reach the battlefield.
As long as the artillery superiority of the "Red Banner Army" was defeated, Chongde thought that he would be able to lead the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry to win the battle of Shengjing.
As long as the vitality of the "Red Banner Army" can be greatly damaged under Shengjing City, Chongde will have the confidence to recover North Korea and enter the Daming Pass.
Chongde still emphasized a sentence: "I want more artillery, the better, and I want as many gunners as possible!" ”
Alas! As everyone knows, if Shengjing is not attacked, just the Hongyi cannon is far from enough to form a defense, and they must have anti-aircraft guns, otherwise the "flying army" of the "Red Banner Army" will come to attack, and Chongde will definitely get a surprise.
The first step of the Pingliao Plan was successfully completed, and hundreds of civilian, official, and military generals were able to make meritorious contributions, in addition to the original members of the "Red Banner Army", Sun Chuanting, Chen Qiyu, Mao Chenglu, Shang Keyi, and so on performed eye-catching.
The meritorious ones were rewarded and the faults were punished, and the meritorious soldiers were not only able to be added to the rank of knight, but also received a beheading reward, and thousands of families in the system put a big basket of firecrackers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
As soon as the dust of the war settled, Huang Han deliberately gave the soldiers participating in the war a holiday and did not assemble too early, and it was not until the sixteenth day of the first month that a military meeting above the thousand generals was held in Shanhaiguan.
The "Red Banner Army" held the defense line of the Yalu River, and left dozens of small warships and sentinel horses in Zhenjiangbao Port, as well as the sailors and marines led by Zeng Tongxiang.
The Yalu River detachment of the Longwu Navy Division will patrol the middle and lower reaches of the Yalu River, and the Marine Corps of the Navy Division will participate in the encroachment initiated by Mao Chenglu and Shang Keyi to restore the original Ming army castle on the west bank of the Yalu River.
For the Qing army, the Yalu River was very dangerous, they had already shrunk their defensive line, and the Qing army was basically invisible within a hundred miles along the river.
The defense line was operated to the west bank of the Yalu River, and the "Hanjiang Province" was naturally impregnable, and in order to facilitate his command, it was impossible for Huang Han to remain in Seoul or Pyongyang, and he would be in Shanhaiguan in the future.
More than half of the officers of the entire "Red Banner Army" system of more than 1,000 officers attended the meeting.
This time, the topic was how to annihilate Jiannu in large numbers to avoid them fleeing north with too many men and horses, so that the battle after Pingliao did not know how long it would take.
The generals who participated in the meeting were illiterate, and the proportion of young intellectuals was more than seventy percent, and they knew themselves and their opponents would not be defeated in a hundred battles, and the generals of the "Red Banner Army" studied the system of building slaves, knew the tactics of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and understood their combat effectiveness.
Everyone knows that five years of Pingliao is not a problem, and the seizure of the territory of Liaodong is only symbolic, how to deal with more than 150,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry? How to form a large-scale annihilation is the big problem we are facing.
The generals spoke freely, and in the end, Chen Qiyu and Sun Chuanting's proposals were constructive.
Chen Qiyu believes that Jiannu has been successfully trapped, and Shenyang has actually become a chicken rib, which has become the reason for leaving Jiannu to consume in Liaodong.
In order to greatly reduce the number of people who fled north from Jiannu, the best way was to form a legion to annihilate and conquer the Horqin Mongol Seven Banners that aided the abuse.
Sun Chuanting's intentions were slightly different, he suggested perfecting the encirclement, killing all the Jiannu Tartars who dared to rush into Shaanxi for the Ming Dynasty, and expanding the scope of activities of the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" to Guihua City, Qingcheng, and Fuyuwei.
There was no need for the labor division to expedition to Xi'an, Sun Chuanting proposed to send more sentry horses to reconnoitre, and concentrate ten A battalions in the Qingcheng area to wait for work, and the follow-up men and horses sent by Jiannu to support the Shaanxi battlefield would be intercepted, and the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry who retreated from Shaanxi would also face interception.
The benefits of attacking halfway are self-evident, Sun Chuanting is really a master of ambush, and it is not in vain that he ambushed Gao Yingxiang in history, and beat Li Zicheng to the point that only eighteen horsemen were left to hide in Shangluo Mountain.
Huang Han adopted Sun Chuanting's suggestion and sent four newly formed B battalions to replace Hanzi's reinforced battalion and Yang Danian's direct battalion.
The garrison and operation of Shanxi and Xuanda were handed over to Fang Liandong as the leader, and the three battalion commanders Wang Zhaoxiang, Chen Song, and Zhu Lianshan were the deputy of the four A battalions, plus four B battalions, and nearly 30,000 regular soldiers of the "Red Banner Army."
Hanzi, Yang Danian and others stationed in Shanxi, Xuanda have developed a lot of guards in a year and a half, and a large number of meritorious former Ming army cavalry have been turned positive.
Not only did the Shanxi Front have a full number of cavalry, but it also supported thousands of cavalry to other battalions.
The total number of cavalry of the two of them has exceeded 3,500, and this number is still increasing, because they are still restraining the 2,400 Ordos Mongol cavalry, which are eager to be treated by the guards and regular soldiers, and the number of cavalry can reach 6,000.
The generals of these two men are definitely the right people, because their battalion is good at cavalry.
The third to be pointed out is, of course, Wang Zhicheng, the indomitable madman who started the war, followed by Liu Fenyong, Wang Zhanpeng, Zhang Yang, Sang Yu, Yuan Siming, Yang Hanwei, and Huang Nongsheng.
These 10 battalions had 16,000 elite cavalry of the "Red Banner Army", plus 2,400 Ordos Mongolian cavalry, and 3,000 people selected from the Karaqin tribes within a radius of 300 miles from Qingcheng to submit to the "Red Banner Army", and the total number of cavalry exceeded 20,000.
In order to be more safe, Huang Han also sent the personal guard battalion to the prairie for training, so that the number of cavalry capable of riding and fighting exceeded 25,000, and the proportion reached half of the men and horses participating in the battle.
The main generals who sent troops to the prairie this time were, of course, Hanzi, deputy generals Yang Danian and Gu Kui, and Gu Jixiang, the chief governor Gu Jixiang, and the chief praise painter Sun Chuanting and Chen Qiyu.
I don't know when it will encounter the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry at all, the formed Northern Expeditionary Army will complete the assembly at the end of the first month and early February, and send troops on the tenth day of February, they will not wait passively to annihilate and conquer all the Mongolian tribes within 500 miles of Yuanbao Mountain.
After the Liaoning West Corridor is busy with spring ploughing, at the beginning of April, it will start to hire 50,000 to 100,000 people to build a city with a circumference of ten miles before the frost period comes, the address is of course the Chifeng City of the later generations, and the name is Chifeng Acropolis.
