Chapter 434: The Second Dongjiang Town
The cold wind with a chill, but it still became very cold in September, and it was a desolate land that could not be seen as far as the eye could see, under the clear blue sky, Huang Taiji took a deep breath and moved his body, raised his hand and the advancing team stopped, this army was wearing a yellow copper nail inlaid with iron cotton armor flashing cold, supported by the chain mail inside, and the neat lightning rod on the head with the black cherry blossom could not see the boundless team.
There is also a team of Han army flag gunners with bird guns and money rattail pigtails in the back, they are neatly dressed in smocks, and officers on the side are riding horses and scanning the team, they are holding bird guns in their hands to see that they are bamboo pipes, and the bamboo pipes are gunpowder, and behind them are teams of pikemen wearing heavy armor and making a clanging sound, and behind them are a team of archers with hard bows around their waists, and slowly quivers are heavy arrows.
On both sides were a group of Mongols wearing leather coats and felt hats, they let out a burst of howling sounds, they carried horses around their waists for fast running, some brandished sabers without formation at all, Huang Taiji showed a trace of dissatisfaction and shook his head and smiled bitterly, these newly annexed Mobei Mongolian tribes themselves forced them to queue up for something,
He rode on his horse, followed by a general in white armor, Dolgon, and on the other side was Fan Wencheng, a Han Chinese, who said, "Is the war in the south over?" He asked, looking to the south, you can vaguely see the outline of the city, it's almost Jinzhou! That place was the city guarded by Zu Dashou.
"It's over, Qin Xiaochuan eliminated Luo Rucai in two months, crossed the sky, and defeated Li Zicheng again, I heard that Li Zicheng's nephews were all killed in battle" Everyone was shocked, and they were afraid that the last battle left them with a lot of horror, and they were no longer willing to recall that battle. Fan Wencheng said,
"So fast!" Huang Taiji said this, a little surprised that the other party killed these waves of thieves who were strong in Daming so quickly, Fan Wencheng said again: "But they have suffered heavy losses, and the main force has lost more than half!" The rest are all Tuntian troops! And when they heard that there was a plague in Henan, they didn't have the strength to go south.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Huang Taiji looked at the south, the target was naturally not this small Jinzhou, but the main force of the Ming army, he wanted to attract the Ming army from the fortress by encircling the point and sending reinforcements, and then eliminate it. "So that we can calmly take Jinzhou?"
"Your Majesty, is it too early," said Dolgon, "there are as many as 100,000 men in the southern Ming army, and we will fight them in a decisive battle!" I'm afraid it's too early. ”
The generals behind all felt so, and now the decisive battle is a bit of a big Fan Wencheng said, "Our army spies have come to report, the southern prince's power is getting stronger and stronger, and they are integrating the Jiangsu and Zhejiang groups!" And even the power of Liangguang! ”
Jiangsu and Zhejiang? Everyone recalled the blood-stained military flag on the side of the Hunhe River that day, and the broken military formation at sunset, although they were afraid but they didn't care, Duoduo said: "A Zhejiang soldier, we were able to fight that day, and now we can do it even more!" We are no longer the original Qing Dynasty" At this moment, the firearms of the Han Eight Banners reached 60,000, and the Mongolian servant army was as high as 100,000.
"Jiangsu and Zhejiang Group is definitely not something that this small Zhejiang soldier can represent!" Huang Taiji shook his head and said, he naturally understood that the ability of the vast land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang had not been brought into play at all, and the Ming army had not let this machine really run at all, and it had never been, if he really controlled this force, he didn't know how many firearms troops the other party could train.
Dolgon Ling Ran looked at the group of brothers behind him, and said with puzzled expressions: "The power of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ming has trained the Guan Ning Army in less than eleven years, let's think about it, if he really masters the power of the south, how about us!" ”
"Guan Ningjun is one-tenth of the strength? Thirteenth brother, don't be joking," Duoduo said with a smile, and some people in the back were solemn, and some people laughed and thought he was joking.
"It's Zhu Ming in the south, only the Qingzhou army is the real enemy of my Qing army! Duoduo said so, and then Azig and the others all nodded and said, "Last time I entered the customs, only the Qingzhou army blocked my Qing soldiers."
"Humph! The Qingzhou army is strong, but he is only a place to meet in Shandong, and the wealth south of the Yangtze River will be seen one day in the future" Dolgon said, Huang Taiji nodded with a look of relief in his eyes, and now Dolgon no longer refuted his opinions as often as before, and began to obey him and really obey his orders.
The southern city is getting closer and closer, and the word Jinzhou can be seen from afar, he waved his hand, and there were bursts of Chinese shouts behind him, accompanied by bursts of Korean language. 、
A piece of artillery is lined up, like a steel giant beast, terrifying, exuding a metallic luster, although it looks like iron, but this is made by the lost wax method, the internal and external structures are different, the whole more than 50 red-coated cannons, and more than 400 other artillery pieces are lined up.
With the sound of the general, the cannon sprayed flames, and the earth banged like a drum, which made people feel uncomfortable.
A group of soldiers on the city wall were preparing in an orderly manner, going to pull open the hanging door, and some were pushing the Franc machine to prepare for a counterattack, but there was a middle-aged general whose face was full of ravines, and his face was full of strangeness, muttering, "The firepower of the Qing army is so sharp?" ”
*********
The Qing army went south? The people in the room are all eccentric, Xiao Chuan is worried that he has suffered heavy losses at the moment, and he has lost the ability to go north, and the same is true for the prince! If the Songshan Battle starts at this moment, it will not be beneficial for anyone to lose the Ming army heavily, Han Gang said with a solemn look in his eyes, "Our main force has suffered heavy losses, the Tuntian army is not strong enough, the main force has suffered heavy losses, and the only people who can use it are the Beifu army and the Huns."
"Brother, the Beifu soldiers need to maintain law and order here" Han Tie said, there are many people here, he naturally didn't say that some of the Beifu soldiers were infected with the plague, and they were not allowed to leave those cities at all, but he didn't want to say this directly, otherwise the generals in this room would be in chaos.
Xiao Chuan and the others were anxious, could they send more than 10,000 Huns to the north? This? Xiao Chuan shook his head, as many as 100,000 Mongols on the other side are excellent archers, and they can't save the occupation if they go.
Han Gang said solemnly: "If the Qing army wins this battle!" I'm afraid that there is only one lonely city left in Liaodong, Shanhaiguan," he said. "If Shanhaiguan is also defeated, then the Qing army will easily be able to hit Shandong!" He pointed to the map.
Everyone was flustered, looking at Wang Heng, every time only he could come up with a countermeasure, and said, "Mr. teach me!" ”
Wang Heng touched his gray beard, looked at the map and said, "It is naturally difficult for us to defeat the Qing army head-on, what if we do it from behind?" ”
Behind? Everyone was surprised, Han Gang looked at the map and said, "Could it be that you are taking a boat from Dengzhou to Liaodong?" ”
"Definitely! It's Phi Island! Wang Heng pointed to an unknown point on the map and said, "We are going to build a second Dongjiang Town here!" ”
Dongjiang Town? The crowd looked solemn. Ogawa understood what he meant, he was going to transfer the Vikings to the north. If this is the case, Houjin will never dare to go south again.
"If you reoccupy Phi Dao! The Qing army will no longer dare to go south with all its might," Han Gang said.
