Chapter 913: People are more popular than dead people
Why not try to blockade the north and completely besiege Shenyang?
Without him, there is no strength!
In fact, the total strength of the "Red Banner Army" did not have an advantage, and only by encircling the three and leaving a way to survive could the Qing army be confused.
If troops were sent to fight for the north of Shenyang, which was still under the actual control of the Qing army, at this time, the backlash would definitely be endless, and even if it was surrounded on all sides, it would not be peaceful.
200,000 "Red Banner Army" scattered in all directions, who could have predicted where Chongde would concentrate his forces to break through?
The Manchu soldiers and civilians naturally had no illusions after discovering that Shengjing was surrounded, but would force them to launch a decisive counterattack, and the encirclement was likely to be torn apart, and the casualties caused by repeated battles were uncontrollable.
Huang Han didn't think about annihilating the Qing army in one fell swoop, as long as he destroyed the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and killed seven or eight adult horses, and then destroyed the withering and decaying with a five-to-one or even greater military superiority, the Manchu Qing would never be able to turn the tables.
At the beginning of October, due to the impregnable defense line of the Ming army, the Qing army had tried to attack several times before, but was beaten all over the ground by field artillery and Mini guns.
After that, they no longer refused to launch a large-scale attack and suffered casualties, and the tactics of the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" relying on their positions to defend and counterattack were ineffective.
The General Zan's painting department adjusted its deployment in a timely manner, and all the cavalry was concentrated in the northwest of Shenyang to inspect the terrain and conduct actual combat exercises under the leadership of Hanzi, Gu Kui, Yuan Siming, Liu Fenyong, etc.
Hanzi's task was to intercept and cover up the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry who fled from Shenyang.
As long as the cavalry brothers can give enough casualties to the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry who rushed out of the sea of fire, the number of men and horses left behind in Liaodong in the future can be reduced a lot, and too much military expenditure will be saved.
He Yongqing, who stayed in Tongguan, took the overall situation into account and learned that the head of the family needed as many cavalry as possible, so he transferred three men with a total of more than 1,000 horses, and a few people took the initiative to take their families to participate in the battle.
However, because they were the generals of the defeated army, they had no food and salary, and basically relied on the "Red Banner Army" for help, so only a few dozen children of the family did not abandon them.
Of course, they are Cao Bianjiao, Zuo Guangxian, Han Zhikuan, and Huang Weizheng, who have recovered from their injuries and regained their combat effectiveness, as well as Hu Dawei and Huang Degong, who took the initiative to take refuge.
If the generals who were convicted and dismissed in the Ming Dynasty could not make a comeback by virtue of their connections, they would only have one way to do their military exploits.
These generals are not stupid, they know the importance of being right, and they all brought dozens of ironclad soldiers to serve in Liaodong with more than 1,000 Tongguan cavalry of the "Red Banner Army", the purpose of which was to get the decapitation merit.
It's a pity that since the start of the war, Cao Bianjiao and his people have found that the Mongols are too violent, and because the Mongolian soldiers have first-class riding skills and most of them wear leather armor and bear light weights, the ironclad family can't win at all.
How can you get the possibility of getting a harvest if you are always left behind? So far, only Hu Dawei, who has a unique bow and horse, has won the seventh level with dozens of family members, and the rest are empty-handed.
Cao Bianjiao, Zuo Guangxian and others are not general, they all have a military career of one or two decades, but they have never seen such an enthusiastic army, and the defeat of Jiannu is fate.
Because they are both fallen people at the end of the world, Cao Bianjiao, Zuo Guangxian, and Hu Dawei have often drunk together in the past two years, and they have feelings, so they almost call their sons brothers and sisters.
Originally, it was thought that the Battle of Pingliao would be extremely tragic, but after a month or two, the "Red Banner Army" had the upper hand and had been pressing the Qing army to fight, and now it has come to the city of Shenyang.
Cao Bianjiao, who was still bent on making meritorious contributions and regaining his official position in the imperial court, was shaken in his heart at this time, and when he invited Hu Dawei to drink, he said tentatively:
"Time has passed, and I can't imagine that today's Jiannu and Tartar can't help but fight, and they run away so fast that the family can't catch up at all.
It can be seen from this that the decisive victory of the 'Han King' is this year, and it will not be a problem to completely pacify Liaodong next year. I wonder what the brothers plan to do in the future? ”
The outspoken Hu Dawei said: "I have already thought about this problem, and I will follow the 'King of Han' in the future."
How vast is the outside of the border? There must be a rebellion of the tribes who do not obey the king, and a large number of cavalry will inevitably be needed to stay behind after the pacification of Liao, and I will definitely be able to make another meritorious service. ”
Han Zhikuan was even more straightforward and said: "Brother Cao, I have long lost hope in the imperial court, under the rule of the 'King of Han', there is abundant grain and grass, strong soldiers and strong horses, and no one can replace him!"
Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the 'King of Han' not only wins the hearts of the people, but also gets the love of the soldiers, and the world will return to him sooner or later. ”
Huang Weizheng said: "Brother Han is reasonable, I have long wanted to defect to the 'Red Flag Army', even if I am a hundred presidents and have no regrets." ”
Zuo Guangxian sighed and said, "I don't know if you have read the pig theory of the 'Red Flag Daily'?" It is absolutely true that with the right people, pigs can also become Buddhas.
Thinking about the generals such as Huang Long, Mao Chenglu, Shang Keyi, and Li Weiluan in Dongjiang Town, they were more than 108,000 miles worse than us.
Now, they are all the commanders of the first battalion of the 'Red Banner Army', and there are more than 3,000 elite soldiers and strong generals under their command.
As for us, the Ming criminal, we relied on the protection of the 'King of Han' to avoid prison and save the head of Xiang Shang. People are more popular than dead people! ”
These words touched the hearts of several people, and they all fell silent and drank their heads.
Cao Bianjiao, Zuo Guangxian, and Hu Dawei are all the chief military officers of the Weizhen side, and they are indeed much stronger than the generals of Dongjiang Town.
After a while, Cao Bianjiao spoke: "We are still lucky, at least there is still life!" Think about it, how many brothers died on the battlefield in the past ten years? I'm afraid that the civilian and military generals who died in the Ming Dynasty have already been thousands. ”
Zuo Guangxian said: "With the wrong person, people die like lights going out, and the court can't even give out a few taels of silver." The pension of the 'Red Banner Army' is 100 taels, and it is no wonder that those Mongolian cavalry are desperate. ”
Several people remembered the robes that died in battle, and there was another sigh and sigh, and the atmosphere was even more depressing.
Han Zhikuan said: "Brothers, don't be discouraged, the 'Han King' has long said that the decisive battle of Pingliao is destined for the cavalry to sing the leading role, we will get the opportunity to fight a fierce battle, I believe that the 'Han King' will not ignore us when he is rewarding his merits." ”
Zuo Guangxian smiled: "That's right, we haven't asked to see the 'King of Han' to show our hearts, the 'Red Flag Army' is full of talents, so can we deliberately win over our defeated generals?"
Whether we are a bad seed or not, we can only prove it by harvesting! ”
Hu Dawei was very confident, he said: "There are many Mongols in the 'Red Banner Army', and it is much easier for me to communicate with them, and I should be able to become the commander of a battalion in the future with two or three thousand Mongolian cavalry." ”
Cao Bianjiao saw that Huang Degong had only listened and not spoken, and asked, "Huang Chuangzi, what are you planning in your heart?" ”
Huang Degong said concisely and to the point: "You coincide with your brother!" ”
