Chapter 177: Shaking the Mountains

Liang Xing and the others watched for a while, and then Liang Xing said to Zhang Han: "The proprietor, this matter couldn't be simpler. ”

Zhang Han smiled and encouraged, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Judging from the map, the terrain of Jilin Cliff is very dangerous, there are two banners of soldiers to pinn down, and there are more than 10,000 people guarding the cliff, not to mention a day or two, ten days and eight days Juniper may not be able to attack down. If you are guarding it, why rush to save it? But on the other side of Salhu, there is a valley, and the army can drive straight into it, and rush to Hetuala, that is the dangerous place, and that part of the border army has 20,000 people, two general soldiers, looking at the number of people, but the one led by Juniper must be the most elite, and the more people are better to eat, concentrate the six banner troops, fight more and fight less, eat this part, and the baggage battalion did not follow the general soldier of Du, and the 10,000 people under the Jilin cliff became a lone army, and crossed the river, it is not easy to withdraw if you want to, and the military heart must be uneasy, At that time, the Eight Banners had gathered, and it would be much easier to eat the 10,000 people under the Jilin Cliff in one fell swoop, and I would have to fight like this, Erdeni They are really scribes, and they can't even understand such a simple truth. ”

Zhang Han scolded with a smile: "Who are you following all day long, what kind of identity are you dealing with, and you still have this map and detailed information in your hand, if you can't analyze this, you might as well crash to death." ”

Although he was scolding, the relief in Zhang Han's heart was also real.

Liang Xing and others can be regarded as cultivated, whether it is a small-scale hand-to-hand battle, or the meticulous logistics work of thousands of miles of long-distance walking, or the careful thinking of business and government affairs in dealing with people, as well as the big strategy of the army in front of them, the people who came out with them this time really gained a lot.

As far as the battle in front of him is concerned, Zhang Han is a person who has long known the details and results of the process, and if you consider it comprehensively, Nurhachi's idea and the style of play of the Eight Banners are not so unusual, they are very simple...... It's not simple for Liang Xing and others, it's simply amazing.

The biggest difference between a famous general and an ordinary general is here!

A famous general can grasp the most important thing on the battlefield, calculate the enemy first and then calculate the already before fighting, synthesize the advantageous and unfavorable things, try to eliminate the disadvantage, and use the resources at hand to expand the favorable side as much as possible, and then he can command on the spot on the battlefield with a complicated trace, seize the enemy's weak underbelly and strike hard, and finally win victory.

Ordinary excellent generals may be good at charging and breaking through formations, may be good at arranging troops, some are good at long-distance running, and some are very good at logistics, but they have no way to look at the whole, outside the battlefield, on the battlefield, and even after the victory.

Han Xin's so-called more is also the ancients' confidence in the overall situation and the ability to control the army when they were fighting......

Sadly, after Qi Jiguang's death, there were no more handsome talents on the Ming side, only a group of reckless men who couldn't do well when they charged.

Liang Xing is still far from the level of "handsome", but at least he is on the right path.

……

When time crept towards Shen, Allah, with more than 40,000 people, arrived on the battlefield, and it was very close to the Ming army's Salhu camp.

The sentry is constantly in the Ming army camp home sentry, or dozens of people rush forward, shoot away the Ming army's sentinel cavalry with arrows, the scout cavalry of both sides keeps on a small amount of flat ground outside the valley mouth You rush back and forth to kill, the Ming army's sentry is also the pride of the army, the horse and shooting are very good, and the Houjin's scout cavalry is not inferior when fighting, the two sides keep fighting each other on the battlefield with dogs' teeth, shoot flat with bows and arrows, shoot the war horse that the other side straddles, or throw it with bones or spears when the distance is close, The two sides have been going back and forth for nearly an hour, almost without stopping, and the Ming army on the opposite side has also hurriedly set up camp, and they also know that they are deep into the enemy's territory and need to strengthen their vigilance and guard against the enemy who may appear at any time.

When Zhang Han and the others arrived near Salhu, the camp of the Ming army had already been established and was faintly visible.

The Ming army placed the artillery in the middle of the core of the military formation, the front of the battlefield were the battalion soldiers and the musketeers with spears, Zhang Han and others galloped up a hill, and saw that more than fifty percent of the Ming army were musketeers, and most of the rest were pikemen, which was also in line with the records of later generations, the Ming army in Liaodong at that time had used a large number of firearms, and there were many firearms of all kinds in the Ming army, full of tricks.

"They don't have a car." Liang Xing's face was nervous, his fists were clenched very tightly, and unconsciously, he had substituted himself into the role of the general of the Ming army, but although the Ming army array in front of him seemed to be tight, it was a big loophole when viewed seriously, the camp was set up in a hurry, there were no defense facilities on the periphery, the number of antlers and horses was insufficient, and there was no trench or fence, the most important thing was what Liang Xing said, all kinds of firearms and guns were not formed in front of the formation, and this kind of defense was actually quite thin.

"There are a lot of artillery and firearms," Li Zhiye clenched his fists and said, "It depends on the training." Proprietor, I'm honestly not very optimistic......"

"Crow's beak!"

A group of people glared at Li Zhiye, there were no outsiders here, Shu Mu and Tan Tai and others were scattered to guard the periphery, Li Yongfang and Kurtang and others were on the other side, and they were not worried about being heard when they spoke.

"There are still more soldiers in Liaozhen and Jizhen who use firearms...... Li Zhiye said with a wry smile: "What are the usual practices of the battalion soldiers, you don't know ......"

Duo'er, the Zhao family brothers and others were silent, and the battalion soldiers were not very poorly trained, but almost no training.

Ren Jing said: "The important thing is that the gunpowder is not well dispensed, it is sent too close, and the artillery is better, the gunpowder is too poor now, and those people in the Ministry of Engineering are too careless." ”

Zhang Han stopped everyone's discussion and said, "It's going to be a big fight!" ”

All directions are responding to the flag, Houjin's army training and the Liaodong Army are almost the same, from the Great Khan to the banner owners of the banners, the general soldiers, Gushan Ezhen, Jia Lae Zhen, each Niu Lu, hundreds of flags in the passionate drum sound of the non-stop fluttering and flying, under the guidance of the flag, each Niu Lu arrived at the pre-designated position, the plains outside the Salhu Valley to the valley area of the soldiers cover the field, the flags are as many as shrubs, the cold light of guns, thorns and broadswords can hardly open their eyes, the dull horn and the dense drum beat are louder and louder, It was almost impossible for Zhang Han and the others to hear each other's voices, compared with the slightly flustered and mixed Ming army array, the movement and march of the Eight Banners were obviously more orderly, more highly organized, and there was almost no confusion and miscellaneous, Zhang Han in the high place almost did not see the slightest confusion of the Eight Banners, and all the departments were moving in the direction guided by the military flags.

Zhang Han saw a large banner representing the owner of the Eight Banners, and under the banner gathered hundreds of white soldiers wearing silver armor, most of them gathered around the banner master, and they were the decisive force on the battlefield.

The heavy armored cavalry wearing iron armor and war horses were also gathered together, and later generations thought that the Houjin soldiers only had foot combat and light cavalry, but in fact, on the battlefield of Liaodong, they also had a lot of heavy armored iron cavalry.

More than 40,000 people were far away, Zhang Han could hardly see the head and tail, everywhere he could see was the military flags waving, the galloping herds of war horses, the pond horses riding horses alone to transmit messages back and forth, the light horses that were still wandering in front of the army, and in the end, he could almost only see the majestic situation of ten thousand horses galloping forward with the flag.

Zhang Han felt breathless, his chest seemed to be pressed by something, the military array in front of him was majestic and majestic, revealing a strong and irresistible force, this is the elite of a hundred battles tempered by thousands of hammers, although Zhang Han is not a famous general in a hundred battles, but his current knowledge and experience are extraordinary, and only then did he know how shallow and ridiculous the war scenes he saw in books and movies and television, and the military array in front of him went from swinging to plating, and then to responding to the flag and moving forward, The coordinated action of tens of thousands of people has extremely high requirements for the command ability of the generals and the response and training of the army, Zhang Han has clearly seen that the Ming army on the opposite side is far inferior to the eight banners marching here, he has some indescribable feelings in his heart, sometimes he can't wait to gallop into the Ming army array, sometimes he hates the corrupt incompetence and arrogance of the Ming emperor and the center, and also hates the greed and incompetence of the Ming army generals, he can only watch the foreign army kill the side he supports in his heart, And this kind of support could not be shown on his face, and the pain in it could only be understood by himself and the few people around him.

Liang Xing's expression was also nervous, but he had already substituted it very deeply, and the feeling in his heart was not necessarily as uncomfortable as Zhang Han, looking at the movement of the military array, he muttered: "The terrain over there in Daming is higher, and the Eight Banners are about to attack from the back." ”

Li Zhiye said: "Most of the people in the front are bannermen, only a small amount of armor, it seems that they want to shoot the army formation with bows and arrows, and attract the fire of cannons and firearms." ”

Duo'er sneered: "Hey, no matter what time it is, the North and the East are like this, the North is sent to death by the herdsmen, and the East is also used to open the way with the flesh and blood of the bannerman, the same." ”

The contact between the two sides was very fast, and when the Eight Banners began to attack, it was already past Shen Shi, and there were still more than 10,000 people waiting to fight on the Jilin Cliff side, and there were other three Ming troops, compared to the Ming army around the Salhu Valley, the task of the Eight Banners was more urgent, and they barely prepared for too long, and the Khan Xuan side issued an order to attack.

At the last moment, tens of thousands of people let out a beastly roar.

Chang Wei's face turned pale, and he said loudly: "Shock the mountains!" ”

It is indeed "Rock the Mountains!" ”

At this time, the sky was dark, all the slopes, plains, valley mouths, woodlands around the valley of Salhu, almost all the human sights and places under the sky seemed to be occupied by the Eight Banners, they made a very shocking shout, with the sound of thousands of war horses galloping, like a storm, like thunder, the cavalry was as fast as lightning, the flag was like the wind, the spear, the thorn was like a forest, under the command of drums and flags, the battlefield advanced rapidly, more than 10,000 people rushed forward together, tens of thousands of people shouted together, this momentum and the shaking of people's hearts, People who are not there simply cannot understand and cannot feel!
