Chapter 299: Adjusting Deployment to Deal with the Incoming Enemy
Zhang Qiang attacked the Qing army of the Azig Department in Raozhou Mansion, and the Qing army of the Azig Department had more than 10,000 Jurchen Manchu warriors with strong combat effectiveness, but they were suppressed in the city by artillery all day long, and they couldn't even go out of the city to counterattack.
Because the capital city of Raozhou has been fortified by two roads, the first fortification, three miles outside the city around the city more than 20 miles of trenches and horses, trapped in horse pits, iron dysentery; The second fortification, six hundred meters from the city, that is, more than one mile around the city and ten miles around the city, the trenches, breastwork, and forts were surrounded and killed.
The city wall is already full of desolation, broken walls, the city gate tower has been blown up, and the city wall has been blown down several times in some places, but Zhang Qiang is attacked, there are thousands of catties of shells that enter the city every day, the green battalion and the remnants of the Han army flag in the Qing army have suffered heavy losses, nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses at the beginning, and now there are only more than 1,000 left, and the soldiers and horses of the Qing army have also lost several Niu Lu, that is more than 2,000 Qing army Manchu warriors, the distressed Azig and A Dai are on fire, seriously ill, and now they are still lying in bed, bedridden.
In the previous battle with Zhang Qiang, the dead were all the green battalion troops that were incorporated by the Ming army, as well as the second generation of Han people who were cultivated in the bitter cold land of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Dolgon's men and horses are only three banners, some of the other flags attached to them, but also only five banners of men and horses, the early battle with the Ming army casualties are only one or two banners of men and horses, and then more than ten years of supplementation, finally 66 continue to replenish enough, Azig brought out the southern and northern wars, a total of only 2,000 casualties and horses, the battle is Han people fighting Han people, they only need to drive and take care of those minions like hunting dogs, and now they have encountered hard stubble, not only the Mongolian Eight Banners lost nearly 10,000 people, They also lost the sum of several years' losses at once.
How this does not distress them.
But distressed is distressed, the current situation, they can also see that the Ming army, or the Huaxia army, has sinister intentions, trying to use them as bait to lure the Qing army to come and annihilate, on the one hand, they are worried about their own situation, and on the other hand, they are worried about the upcoming Qing army.
But what's the use of worrying, now that the Huaxia army doesn't come in, they are also lucky, how can they have the ability to warn or help the Qing army.
It's true that they can't help.
And Zhang Qiang, who had already had a preliminary understanding of the movements of the Qing army around him, was not prepared to let them worry about anything.
Although Zhang Qiang didn't know how many soldiers and horses the Qing army had fallen to the ground, and whether his current soldiers and horses could withstand the Qing army's attack, he had already decided to solve the Qing army in the Azig division surrounded in front of him, and make room for the next battle.
After waiting for another day, Zhang Qiang ushered in Du Ge, who returned for the second time, this time Du Ge brought a cavalry force led by the returning Huang Tao, composed of captured Qing army war horses and war horses cultivated by himself, with more than 20,000 troops.
There are also 20,000 militia units.
These militia units were transferred from the troops around Xianju County, as well as the troops from the county towns that originally defended the border of Shaoxing Prefecture and Ningbo Prefecture on the border of the Qing army.
Now that Shaoxing Mansion and Ningbo Mansion have become the internal territories of the Huaxia Army, there is no need for so many garrisons, so these cold weapon troops, plus arquebus units with backward muskets, have been drawn out to form a new unit, the Raozhou Mansion Garrison Force.
The cavalry unit came out after the expansion on the basis of the original cavalry battalions of each army, because Zhang Qiang wanted to fight here, and without cavalry troops, the slow-moving infantry musket unit would suffer, so Zhang Qiang asked Du Ge to go back for the second time to form a cavalry unit.
The cavalry units came from various units, and also from civilian conscriptions, so it can be said that except for the cavalry units of the various field brigades, the other garrison troops, militia units, and civilian horseback were all pulled out.
With 3 field brigades, plus a guards brigade, and 20,000 cavalry troops, Zhang Qiang already has 60,000 troops, plus 20,000 as a logistical baggage, garrisoning the local militia, Zhang Qiang put out the most powerful lineup of the Huaxia Army this time.
The cavalry unit was divided into three brigades, the first cavalry brigade, which was served by Huang Tao, a capable person from this intelligence department, to support Feng Wuyu, the second cavalry brigade, Zhang Qiang appointed Baghyalu to take over, and acted with the 1st Brigade of the Guards Brigade, and the third cavalry brigade was concurrently served by Du Ge to support Hu Kui.
Each brigade had 6,500 men, and the remaining 500 or so followed Zhang Qiang's personal guard chaser troops, and at the same time used as a direct scout cavalry battalion.
Because the cavalry unit had just been formed, and it was wartime, there were not so many uniforms, and there were no exclusive uniforms for cavalry, so these cavalrymen were still wearing the uniforms of the five or eight gates, and they were covered with the previous armor, chest armor, and newly made armor of the Jinhua Righteous Army that were searched from various warehouses, and some of them were still wearing the armor of the Ming army and holding swords.
Zhang Qiang didn't care about anything, wait until after the battle to dress uniformly, he pointed to the map and said: "Each of your cavalry brigades doesn't have to follow the main force, find a place to ambush, and then wait for the battle with the enemy to begin, suddenly kill from behind the enemy's flank, pursue and annihilate the enemy, understand?" ”
"Yes, the Grand Governor, we will definitely live up to the high expectations of the Grand Governor, hide, and wait for the opportunity to attack."
Three newly appointed officers of the cavalry brigade said.
"Okay, you go down and prepare, Du Ge, your task is relatively heavy, after you go back and arrange the troops, sort out the logistics, replenish more ammunition, replace the artillery and guns that we broke in the early stage, and wait for the Qing army to arrive, let's beat the Qing army fiercely, annihilate them, and then make them feel distressed, and they won't dare to trouble us for a long time."
"Yes, Metropolitan Governor, I will go down to make arrangements, not only to arrange logistics, but also to arrange troops, and I will definitely not let the enemy feel the deployment of the Metropolitan Governor." Du Ge said very seriously.
"Yes, yes." Zhang Qiang patted him on the shoulder.
He saw Du Ge straighten his waist, and his face showed a very proud color.
Zhang Qiang smiled, he heard the system say to him in his heart: "Du Ge's loyalty to you is more than his loyalty to his original master, You Haibo, and now he is your confidant, and Du Ge's loyalty to you is seventy-five." ”
After Du Ge left, Zhang Qiang muttered to himself in his heart, "It's really troublesome to recover a person these years, although he is not a historical celebrity, a small person, but it took six years for him to put his heart into himself, what is the reason?" Could it be that small people are more difficult to recover than historical celebrities? Think about Jin Sheng, Zhang Mingzhen, Zhu Dadian, these big names, they have had a few past with themselves, and they recovered it with a little effort, and now their loyalty has reached more than eighty, and this Du Ge in front of him has followed him all the way, but he has only reached seventy-five, what is the reason? ”
The system smiled: "This must be the case for a little person who is easy to satisfy, how much ambition, how much ability, how much greed, with greed, of course, it is easier to recover than a person who is easy to satisfy, if you meet his wishes, take it for granted, he has nothing to pursue, you can't impress him, of course it is difficult to recover." ”
Zhang Qiang shook his head and turned his gaze to the present, Raozhou Capital City.
