In order to defeat the Manchu army, Yang Xuan not only built a large number of fortifications along the north of Shunqing City, but also practiced infantry and cavalry confrontation tactics every day, so as not to know how to deal with it on the battlefield. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

With the news coming from the front, especially after hearing Hauge's strategy of attacking from all sides, Yang Xuan knew that the time had come to defeat the Manchurian Tartars, and now he was secretly planning a feast against Hauge.

On the front leading to Fucheng Nanchong, Liu Weiming, Feng Youqing, Yang Bingyi and Liukou fought for six consecutive days, and in these six days, the two sides went back and forth, killing happily.

After hearing that the attack of several soldiers and horses in front was blocked, and was blocked by the loyal and righteous army outside the large cottages, Hauge, who was coordinating various departments in the rear, could not sit still, especially on the third day, Hauge personally commanded the soldiers and horses of the green battalion on the front line to launch an attack on the various camps garrisoned by the loyal and righteous army.

Regardless of the green battalion is equipped with a large number of crossbowmen, bird guns, and the eight banners of the Han army are equipped with many artillery pieces (due to the rugged road, the red-coated cannon is difficult to push over, just like the battle of Duoduo's attack on Tongguan, wait for a few days to wait for the red-coated cannon, the Qinling mountain road is rugged, plus this is a thousand-mile attack, the red-coated cannon can not be transported to the front line at all), such a small cottage is simply difficult to block the brigade of men and horses to attack with all their might, after a fierce attack, the green battalion soldiers will rush into the cottage, and then fire and burn the houses, burn and loot, all evil.

Liu Weiming, Feng Youqing, Yang Bingyi and others relied on the big cottage to block the Tartars one by one.

Dujiamiao is different from other cottages, it is a well-known large cottage, and it has now blocked the attack of the green camp for five days.

As everyone knew in the previous life, to attack the fortifications needed to use heavy artillery bombardment, and Zhang Desheng, the commander of the green battalion, began to bombard the Franco machine gun with a horizontal heart.

It's okay that it's not used, but the battlefield users find a huge difference between each other.

In addition to the use of iron core copper body casting cannon technology, the loyal army also uses iron mold casting technology, cooling method, multiple forging method, casting cannon not only short cycle, high pass rate (more than ninety percent, and clay mold is only one percent), and each Franc cannon is installed on the gun carriage, can easily adjust the shooting angle, can be more accurate shooting, compared with the green battalion of the earthen cannon, the loyal army cast Franc cannon not only hit far and accurate, but also not easy to blow up.

The other party is condescending, their own Franc cannon just fired two or three shells were blown up by the opponent, see that the other side is not afraid of danger, the battlefield often uses flowering shells, a shell falls on the ground often rolls several times to explode, seeing their own Franc cannon was blown to pieces, in the rear watching the battle of Heluo will be even more angry and bleeding.

Nikan was very annoyed, and Liu Weiming on the cottage was also quite annoyed, especially after receiving the order to withdraw the troops just now, because the cottages in other places around were broken one after another, and seeing that the Tartars and the green battalion soldiers would continue to slaughter the surrounding people, Yang Xuan considered that the defense of Shunqing City had been basically completed, and ordered all departments to retreat to the suburbs one after another to fight a decisive battle with the Manchurian Tartars.

Haoge felt like a divine help, and he killed the culprit Zhang Xianzhong among the ten thousand armies, which was something that could be encountered but not sought.

The 100,000-strong army of the Great Western Army collapsed, and its results were far superior to those of Azig and Duoduo.

A few days ago, the field battle of soldiers and horses from all walks of life was blocked, and after he came to the front line, the other party immediately abandoned his armor and fled back to Shunqing City, and the other roads were full of good news, and Hauge felt that the goddess of luck favored him again.

Along the way, I saw that many new graves were added in various places, although most of them were killed in the battle, but Haoge, who did not know the inside story at all, felt that the loyal and righteous army suffered heavy casualties, and now saw that the loyal and righteous army retreated, and then rewarded everyone, led the army all the way south, and rushed to Shunqing City.

Seeing that the loyal and righteous army could not resist abandoning the cottage defense posture that they were good at, and now retreated to the outskirts of the city to continue to put on a field posture, Hauge felt that the victory scale was tilted towards him again.

As Zhang Dingguo introduced in the siege of the city last time, this Shunqing City is surrounded by the Xijiang River in the west of the Jialing River in the east, except for the north and the land connection, the other three sides are surrounded by mountains, and the terrain is extremely difficult.

In order to guard against the attack of the rogue, the veil of defense of Shunqing City is gradually being lifted.

The sampan boat brigade and transport brigade of the navy shuttled between the Jialing River, the Fujiang River, and the Qujiang River to transport the materials needed for the army.

Wang Gao led a militia regiment to garrison the four city gates to ensure the safety of the city, and the guard regiment and cavalry regiment were stationed in the city as a strategic assault force.

Deployed on the west mountain were Guo Chonglie's 3rd Regiment and a militia group led by Hong Zhenglong, about 4,000 people, defending the flank of the Loyal and Righteous Army.

With the villages and cottages in the north of the city as the center, a total of two lines of defense were built, and the first line of defense was arranged with Fan Mingshan's 1st Regiment, Yao Zhijiao's 4th Regiment, Wang Zhibang's 10th Regiment, Jin Tongwu's 11th Regiment and a militia led by Wang Gao and Wen Zirang.

On the two lines of defense, Yang Bingyi's 5th Regiment, Liu Weiming's 6th Regiment, Feng Youqing's 7th Regiment, and a militia led by Du Jigui and Yang Wei were arranged.

On the city wall, Ma Mingluan's artillery regiment is arranged, a total of 60 2-pound cannons, due to the use of iron mold water cooling method, not only casting pass rate is high (other pass rate is less than one percent, now can reach ninety), the cost is very low, the casting cannon quality is better, can completely protect the inside of the fortification.

In the city, there are guard regiments and guerrilla groups, a militia group responsible for maintaining public order in the city, led by Yang Xuan's former commander Wang Gao, as a strategic strike force.

A total of two fortifications were built outside the city, the first was a car formation, and the second was a trench and a horse pit position.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, with the extensive use of firearms such as birds, after Qi Jiguang, everyone began to use the chariot formation, that is, all the carriages and wheelbarrows were connected together with iron cables to form fortifications in the field to block the impact of the opposing cavalry.

According to the regulations of the engagement, the chariot formation should have been placed in the innermost part, and a trench and horse pit should be dug in the outermost part to block the Tartar cavalry, but in order to attract the Tatar cavalry to attack, this time the opposite was done, like other Ming troops, the chariot formation was set up in the bright place, and a trench and horse trap were dug behind the chariot array.

Infantry initially used tripping spikes, which could be blocked in front with a handle of the Sky Shock (later changed to a handle grenade) and retreat to defend in the face of the onslaught of the opposing cavalry.

Relying on the surrounding villages, terrain, and rivers, the chariot formation connects the tricycles, bicycles, unicycles, and side vans of each battalion to prevent the onslaught of the opposing cavalry.

Each trench was about two meters wide, and there were sharpened wooden spikes in the middle to block the attack of the opposing cavalry.

After that, there was a trench digging trench and a horse pit more than two hundred meters away, forming a second line of defense.

Relying on the surrounding mountains and villages, a total of three trenches and horse traps were dug.

Around the trenches, a large number of traps and tripping ropes were dug to prevent the attack of the rogue cavalry.

On the hillside deep in each fortification, there are a number of tiger squat artillery positions and Franc machine gun positions.

On top of each trench or horse pit, there are dustpans woven from bamboo, covered with a layer of earth, on which people can move freely, and war horses can fall into them if they cannot support them (even the thin Mongolian horse is 260-370 kg, and if you add the armor of the knight and knight on horseback, the weight of the war horse is far more than 350-450 kg).

Inside the horse pits and trenches are sharpened bamboo branches to assassinate the war horses and the people on horseback.

Riding on the war horse, the generals of the Eight Banners are talking and laughing one by one, everyone has the ability to be confident, since the Battle of Salhu, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been invincible in all previous field battles with the Ming Dynasty, and now Yang Xuan actually dares to lead his troops in the field, which is probably too confident.

Looking at the loyal and righteous army outside the city, the soldiers outside the camp are sparsely arranged, and after a rough calculation, there are only more than 10,000 people before and after (many are hidden in the woods, hidden in the trenches, and hidden in the villages), and this time the Manchurian Eight Banners led by Haoge are more than 4,000 people, plus 40,000 green battalion generals.

It is obvious that the Loyal Army has a heavy army in the north, and there is no other way to defeat the Loyal Army in the field.

Seeing that the generals were full of confidence, Hauge thought about it again and again, and decided to put the main attack direction in the middle, make a head-on breakthrough, and go straight to the big tent of the loyal and righteous army with a thunderous momentum, and then break through each one.

In order to achieve the goal, Haoge decided to lead more than 1,000 cavalry under the Mongolian Zhenglan Banner Ma Laxi, and the general soldiers Gao Mingzhan and Bai Yongfu each led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to contain them, and the Han Army's Zhenglan Banner led by Bayan Du led more than 10,000 green battalion soldiers and horses to consume the strength of the loyal and righteous army, and then took advantage of the opponent's exhaustion to launch a thunderous attack from the Manchurian Zhenglan Banner.

Everyone looked very relaxed, and everyone looked complacent, as if they had won the battlefield.

Obviously, Yang Xuan didn't want Haoge to rest so easily, and sent more than 100 Minzhuang to secretly dock on a transport ship that night, beating gongs and drums one by one, posing as a posture of a large army to invade and attack the camp from behind.

While he was sleeping, he heard the sound of earth-shattering gongs and drums on the left, and the sound of shouting and killing, Hauge got up from his bed in shock, and ordered the battalions to strengthen their vigilance on the one hand, and sent soldiers and horses to clear them on the other hand, so that he was a little calm.

Everyone went back to bed and just fell asleep, less than half an hour, there were bursts of shouting and killing on the right again, although Haoge, who had listened to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms many times, knew that it was a tired strategy, but he did not dare to be careless, and ordered all departments to strengthen their vigilance.
