Generally speaking, I don't really like to play night battles. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is mainly because night battles will greatly reduce the controllability of the army, and it is easy for the armies on both sides to fall into a state of loss of control. Unlike what is generally imagined, the Manchu army's ability to continuously win the victory of the Ming army was not based on personal bravery, but far beyond the organization of the Ming army. The Dark Night Meeting caused a significant decline in the organization of both sides, which was not a particularly serious problem for the Ming army, anyway, their organization was very limited, and no matter how low it was, it would not be as low as it was. But this was not the case for the Manchus, and the night battle was tantamount to reducing their own organization to the level of the opponent, and the result of this would definitely outweigh the losses. In addition to this, night blindness is a common occurrence in this day and age for nutritional reasons. The nobles of my Qing Dynasty, the upper echelons of the army, and even the white-armored soldiers can get some meat to eat from time to time, so as to avoid night blindness caused by vitamin deficiency, but most of the bannermen, especially the coating, may not even be able to guarantee that they are full, and they can't take care of nutrition or anything, so among them, there are many night blindness. Without the support of these people, the combat effectiveness of the Manchus would have dropped significantly. Therefore, under normal conditions, the Manchu army was not willing to take the initiative to fight at night. At this time, Duoduo made the decision to fight at night, which means that he has actually admitted that the opponent's combat effectiveness during the day is greater than that of the Qing army.

According to Duoduo's idea, although the organization on his side in the night battle was chaotic, it was difficult for the Dutch to give full play to their firepower advantage, so that a melee situation would be formed, and this situation was definitely advantageous to the Manchu Qing who had no advantage during the day.

The Qing soldiers of the brigade rushed towards Xingshan Fort, and in the darkness of the night, their queue quickly dispersed. However, the enemy's artillery did not fire, and apparently, the night also interfered with the opponent's play.

But as the chaotic procession crossed the first trench and approached the second, several burning fires suddenly appeared behind them. It was the lighting that the Model Army had prepared for a long time. The fires were actually quilts soaked in whale oil and placed in dug pits. There is also a bamboo pipe in the pit, which leads from the ground to the back of the last earthen wall more than 100 steps away. The tube contains the guide. Fire. Demand. When the Qing army approached the second trench, the model army set fire to these guides. Fire. Suo, and then be able to ignite these fires behind, so the chaotic Qing soldiers were immediately exposed to the firelight.

"Fire!" Zhang Qingxi shouted, and one of the soldiers beside him shot a rocket into the sky, which exploded a small red fireball in the air.

With the issuance of this signal, dozens of cannons of the Model Army were fired almost at the same time, and these guns were loaded with shotguns at this time, and these shotguns were like a big broom, sweeping away the Qingmen in the area of the boss in front.

The sudden appearance of firelight, as well as the thunderous artillery bombardment, made the Qing troops who rushed up suddenly chaotic. At this time, the platoon guns of the model army also rang out. In the midst of the chaos, some Qing soldiers began to jump into the trench, trying to jump into the trench to avoid the blow. But those who jumped into the trench suddenly screamed, and the trench was now full of sharpened sticks or simply spearheads pointing upwards. The results of the person who jumped can be imagined.

In the dark night, after receiving such blows in a row, the formation of the Qing army was immediately chaotic, and now there is no one who can command anyone anymore, so everyone can only run around, some people want to rush forward, and some people want to run backwards. Those who rushed before rushed to the big trench, but they could not pass (those who carried the ladder died long ago, and those who threw down the ladder ran around), and then they were killed there by the muskets on the other side; Many of those who ran backwards accidentally fell into the trench and were stabbed to death by the spear tips and pointed stakes, but many of them actually ran out.

If it was in the daytime, behind the charging team, there would naturally be white-armored soldiers pressing the formation, and those who ran backward would naturally be killed by them with arrows and swords. However, now, it was night, and there was no one who could stop the deserters in this dark night, so these people ran out quite a lot.

Even the Eight Banners at this time would not have too strong a will to fight in the chaos of losing their command, so although they did not withdraw their troops or anything, after receiving several rounds of shelling and musket salvos in a row, they still followed their instinct to survive and ran away.

……

It was soon dawn, and Duoduo sent cavalry everywhere to search for men and horses that had been scattered at night, and did not begin to retreat until noon. By this time, however, Dodor had withdrawn with his men.

After this battle, Xingshan Fort and Beacon Hill were never attacked by the Qing army again. And Hong Chengchou, who was enthusiastic about the equipment of the "Dutch", also repeatedly proposed that he hoped to "borrow" their cannons, but he was blocked by the high price of these "Dutch" scared people to death.

After that, the battle entered the stage of stalemate, Hong Chengchou continued to attack, Zu Dashou also often launched attacks, with Hong Chengchou, and the Manchu Qing relied on fortifications to continuously consume Hong Chengchou's troops. At the same time, he is constantly mobilizing more troops to prepare for the final decisive battle with Hong Chengchou.

……

"Hong Chengchou did have two fights. But he doesn't really know anything about our power. Huang Taiji talked eloquently in the big tent, some time ago, especially after the failure to copy the back road, Huang Taiji was a little anxious, and it is said that he began to get dizzy again, but now, Huang Taiji has obviously recovered.

"The emperor is right, now Hong Chengchou is still attacking our military barracks, he has made up his mind, and he thinks that we and him can't afford it. He probably thought that we would be able to mobilize a maximum of 100,000 people, but he didn't know that it was now near Jinzhou...... Hehe......" Zilharang also laughed, "now he probably thinks that our army has put all its strength to stop him." ”

"Abatai, you have always been good at using soldiers, how do you think we should fight?" Huang Taiji asked.

Abatai raised his head and said, "The emperor actually has a perfect plan, and he thinks more than I do." I think that we will slowly block the attack, slowly retreat, and when we have retreated past Songshan, we will strengthen our defenses and fight to the death. Hong Chengchou must feel that this is a critical time, and when the time comes, he will probably press all the power in his hand in order to break the siege in one fell swoop. It's just that in fact, our strength is far more than he estimated, and he can't break through the defenses here even with all his strength. When it was noon, when the others were sleepy and ready to collect their troops, we threw in the new force and crushed them in one fell swoop. Even if they can't be defeated, it is estimated that after this battle, they will not have the ability to fight again for several days. Moreover, they have already advanced to Songshan at this time, and we can take advantage of this time to use the coat to dig a long ditch and surround them and Jinzhou in Songshan. When the time comes, the Ming army will be defeated......"
