Chapter 364. The game of life and death has arrived
is worthy of Huang Taiji, in the end he reacted!
The strategic goal of the Qing army was to conquer Korea, and in history, the Qing army did not even care about the broken Dongjiang River at all, and drove straight into Wangjing City from the governor of Uiju, and broke through Ganghwa Island on the left, captured hundreds of Korean clans, and besieged Namhansanseong on the right, and finally forced Lee's Joseon to surrender completely.
Although today's Dongjiang is many times stronger than the Dongjiang River in history, the reason is still about the same, Huang Taiji does not need to follow these hard and stone-like mountain fortresses in the deep mountains, he only needs to rush all the way to the east, and end up the command post of Dongjiang Town, Tieshan, the entire Dongjiang River formation must be chaotic, and even if these small forts do not follow it, the leaderless Dongjiang army will no longer have room to fight back.
When the time comes, Huang Taiji will continue to advance eastward and end up the Li family's North Korea, and it is estimated that Mao Jue, who has been broken in the back road, will not be able to become much of a climate!
"General, the fortresses along the way are still resisting, we, how should we deal with it?"
For decades, the Jianzhou Jurchen was like a huge cloud, pressing on the head of the entire Liaodong, even Fan Wenju, even Kong Youde stumbled a little, and asked there with a stern expression.
Mao Jue himself was stunned for a while, and then asked.
"How long will it take for the Qing Tartars to reach Mount Garau?"
"Master Hui, there should be half a day, he will no longer pull out the walls of our military fort, if he wants to avoid artillery fire, he can only take the trail or climb the mountain, the fastest, should be to arrive at Garao Mountain at noon!"
"That's easy! Everyone's gone, go to bed!"
As soon as the coat was dragged over, Mao Jue turned over and actually lay on the bed again, and several important ministers who watched it were stupid, stumbling in their mouths, Fan Wenju asked in surprise.
"General, general, the Tartar dog is coming!"
"So if you don't sleep enough, how can you fight with a tartar? Go back to sleep, too! Then he ordered the soldiers, this general, to be gracious, let them sleep for half a day, and get up at noon and go to the Garao Mountains to drive the Tartar dogs away!"
"Hurry up, hurry up! Don't delay Lao Tzu's sleep!"
As soon as he turned over, Mao Jue covered himself, and in a state of depression, the three of them were kicked out.
As soon as he got out of the courtyard, Wen Meng saluted Fan Wenju with a sad face.
"Strategist, general, what's going on, the enemy is now, how can you sleep?"
"Do you persuade the general again?"
also frowned, but in an instant, Fan Wenju suddenly patted his head: "What the general said is also right!" ”
"What? Strategist, your head is busy too! ”
"Before the battle, Master Wen, is there anything else you have to do? Are there still cannons to swing? ”
As early as more than two months ago, the position on Mount Garao had been prepared, and now there is really something that needs to be improved, and 30,000 troops are also stationed there, do the math, what Iron Mountain needs to do now is nothing more than to transport the remaining 30,000 troops over.
Now walking on Dongjiang Avenue, it's just a matter of half an hour.
"But, don't you come to the pre-war mobilization?"
Sleeping with the enemy, this muddy person on the crotch of Wen Meng's head feels too childish, right? Fan Wenju, who listened to it, smiled again.
"So we might as well be generals! What is needed most now is for the big guy to relax and wake up with a lot of energy to fight the Tartar dogs! As for mobilization, we are protecting our own home, who needs mobilization to go up to fight the robbers? ”
"Second master, if you don't sleep, the old man will go to sleep!"
Stupidly watched Fan Wenju go out leisurely, and glanced at it in amazement, Kong Youde also tilted his head in tears.
"Let's go, go to bed!"
…………
With the attack of the Qing army, this order to sleep did make the Dongjiang army full of consternation, but after the consternation, the mood of the big guy gradually relaxed again, and the general said to sleep, it seems that he is confident, over the years, which time have you suffered a loss with the general?
Of course, there are few people who can really fall asleep, but it is rare that there is no need to train, the relaxed sergeants are smoking and playing cards in the playground, and the officers are not careful, and one morning, everyone's mood is surprisingly calm.
Even at 11 o'clock at noon, the canteen was still serving normal food, and the Dongjiang Army, which had 15 regiments and 33 guards, slowly got into a public carriage, pulled a cannon, and set off for the position on Mount Garao.
It's just that it was completely different from the relaxed mood of the soldiers, they didn't pay attention to the stern expression of Mao Jue sitting in the carriage.
deliberately ordered someone not to tell Adriana, was carried into the car, this girl still slept like a kitten, sighed and followed into the car, reached out and leaned her swaying little brain melon on her shoulder, Mao Jue slowly opened the map.
"Let's go!"
…………
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, this time it was the point of the quasi-Western self-striking bell, and the follow-up 30,000 Dongjiang troops also arrived at the battlefield, the vanguard had been deployed, and was slowly beginning to enter the position, the big guy rested and relaxed all morning, in the face of the turmoil of the war, it seemed very calm at this time, Geng Zhongming, the commander of the corps who had been prepared here, and several of the huge sea also came to Mao Jue's car to meet him, and there was no nervousness or fear in his words.
At this point, as long as you do your duty, the rest will be left to God.
After getting out of the carriage, the binoculars were useless, and when I put my hand on the door of my head and looked down, the whole battlefield came into view.
This is the last gateway of the Dongjiang River, the Dongjiang Highway passes through the foot of the mountain, not far behind is the Iron Mountain, the left side of the highway is the main position of Garao Mountain, and there is the Luocun Fort of the Dongjiang River on the right side of the Wolf Ridge Mountain, Luocun is below the Luocun Fort, the side of the Dongjiang Highway is further northwest to the direction of Yizhou, but it is an open valley, which can be regarded as a small plain, and the dense wheat that was originally planted here, but a grain of grain is not willing to leave for Jiannu, before retreating, the hoarders of Luocun Village, He cut off the wheat that had not grown with his own hands.
In fact, in terms of defense, Tieshan City is more sound than here, the height of the city wall was increased by Mao Jue again and again, and it is about to catch up with the Beijing Division, the two counties occupied by the Dongjiang River in the Northern Dynasty are the most lacking in mineral deposits, rich in coal and iron ore and the high efficiency of the steam engine, the cannon of Tieshan City has reached more than two hundred, and the defense of the city is generally the strength of the Ming army.
But Mao Jue still chose to fight in the field, there was no way, once he defended the city, it was equivalent to giving up the initiative of the entire battlefield, and in order to win, he first worried about defeat, but if he couldn't stop it, there was really no way to go down, Mao Jue could also retreat north.
The reason why he developed Sakhalin Island, Mao Wenlong supported him so much, and the purpose was also to leave a way back for Dongjiang Town.
And there is also a very interesting place about this position, its terrain is very similar to a battlefield of famous adults in history.
Waterloo Battlefield!
The Mount Garau occupied by Mao Jue was the seat of the Duke of Wellington in contrast, and the battlefield left for the Qing army opposite was the garrison of Emperor Napoleon.
The only difference from that war is that the strength of the enemy and us is not so disparity, the Duke of Wellington's 67,000 men are not much less than the 74,000 men of Emperor Napoleon, but Mao Jue only has 60,000 here, and there are only 25,000 Dongjiang pro-regiments, 5,000 Dongjiang cavalry troops are still in the Wa Kingdom, and Jiannu is 160,000 to 180,000! Just when Mao Jue's telescope was looking at the battlefield, in the ravine opposite, along the Dongjiang Highway, the main force of the Qing army also began to appear.
At first glance, you can't see people, you can only see dense flags, this time it seems to be a red flag, a painting on the red flag of the dragon with teeth and claws, all say eight banners of iron cavalry, in fact, the Qing army's heavy infantry is the most outstanding, whether it is Salhu or Guangning, it is the Qing army infantry that defeated the Ming army, and the forefront is also these heavy infantry, wearing a pointed helmet like an iron tower on the head, and a long-handled Pu knife with both hands on his shoulders, The perennial life outside the pass has made these barbarian infantry naturally develop a large-shouldered and round-waisted physique, and their armor is clanging, and they are arrogantly holding their heads high and stepping forward.
According to the preparation of the Dongjiang River, after these thousands of soldiers and horses drove to the position of Garao Peak, they immediately set up a formation in the wheat field of the Luocun Valley in the northwest corner, and arranged a column of defense in the forefront.
Crowds of people can always bring fear, even if it is the Dongjiang River that has been on the battlefield for a long time, even if he is mentally prepared, looking at the seventy or eighty thousand light and heavy cavalry, as well as many livestock, the private who is still watching the front line subconsciously grows his mouth.
However, the larger the troops, the easier it is to be confused, there is still a little fighter plane caught in Mao Jue's eyes, and the Mongolian cavalry who entered the position was obviously chaotic for a while, and these scattered cavalry gathered from the grassland departments were obviously not in tacit agreement with the main force of Houjin.
They can be considered a breakthrough.
At 18 o'clock in the afternoon, the main force of the Qing army entered the battlefield, but it took more than two hours to set up the formation, and at more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, it was just finished, at this time the sun was already in the west, and I am afraid that this battle could not be fought, and the coated slave troops behind them took out the fence pole from the horse, and began to slowly build the camp for the night, almost three kilometers away from the Dongjiang position, and the heavy infantry at the front was not so nervous, I don't know that under the order of the commander, they also sat down one after another, and the Pu knife and the spear and heavy spear were put together, squatting and drinking water and eating a few mouthfuls of dry food.
From the valley, more than a dozen Qing cavalry waving white flags began to walk towards the Dongjiang River.
"General, the Tartar dog is going to send an envoy over, let's ......"
In the end, it is a literati, and he is guilty of it again, full of etiquette, Fan Wenju asked Mao Jue tentatively.
However, this kung fu, a bang also sounded behind him, and the sound of patting the little brain melon, Dongjiang Secretary-General Adriana was anxious to take three steps and jump out of the car in two steps, while screaming.
"Overslept, intelligence, ah......, this! It's!"
"Awake? Slacker? You're just in time! ”
With a smile full of smiles, he turned around and joked, but Mao Jue, who turned his face immediately, had a straight face and spit out two words coldly.
"Fire!"
