Chapter 463 Scale Difference Determine the long circumference

From the array, you can see the strength and weakness of a team, from the queue you can see the training of a team on weekdays, and from the queue you can see the commander's mastery of the team.

Different from the training of the honor guard, the queue training on the battlefield can quickly condense the stragglers into a combat-ready collective, and can arrive at the appropriate position to complete the corresponding tasks according to the commander's dispatch.

It was such a force that was displayed in front of the Manchu Tatars, and the appearance of the two cannons just now made several leaders of the Manchu front team move towards the intersection of the road facing the city gate, and then transferred several teams of troops to defend, who would have thought that it was another area a few hundred steps away.

Don't underestimate these hundreds of steps, the mobilization of the army, the distance of these hundreds of steps also takes time, Wang Hai led the crowd out, what is needed is this time.

Yujun Wang Duoduo and Ao Bai are no longer resting in the Chinese army, and they came to the front directly on horseback, since they came to the city, it seems that the roles of defending the city and attacking the city have been reversed.

The more than 10,000 troops of the Manchu Qing Dynasty have not yet established their positions, and the attacks in the city are endless, each time they make their army morale plummet.

This time the opportunity was lost again, if it is said that the faces of Duoduo and the others are iron-blue, now it is dark, you can see that a few people stood up at the beginning, and thousands of people who were hula had already rushed out.

In the big war, it is important to pay attention to the fact that the foothold is not stable, and the enemy's formation is not complete, so it is natural to attack the troops, but the opponent's queue is gathered and dispersed to such an efficiency.

The Manchu side was still judging according to the so-called "normal", that is, the speed of the formation of the Ming and Manchu armies they had seen, and when they prepared according to this speed, the formation was already completed. began to pull out, not to mention anything else, simply from the speed of this position, this is also a first-class elite soldier.

"King Yujun, let the forward battalion rush them?"

The main and deputy generals in front of the battle, Ao Bai, who has always been at odds with Duoduo, couldn't make up his mind, and couldn't help but ask out loud there.

The Forward Battalion was the most elite unit of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it was also the system created by Huang Taiji. The army went out to fight, and each banner drew troops and horses to form a forward battalion, a cavalry battalion, etc., but since the regent Dolgon came to power, some of these policies could not be implemented, and each banner commanded its own soldiers and horses.

The same is true for this expedition, the armies of Aobai and Duoduo are particularly clearly divided, but this method of combining the barracks of soldiers and horses with various banners and horses and unifying the command has been used for many years. This command frame is still there, and it can be combined at any time, and those who understand it a little bit will know that this system is much better than the command of each banner of the Eight Banners by itself.

When it comes to the current situation, Ao Bai can't care about those filth. It was Duoduo who directly put forward this opinion, and Duoduo, the king of Yujun, squinted at the army opposite.

No details could be seen from this distance, but you could still see the tightness of the army that had come out of the earthen enclosure, and the armor that glistened in the sun.

There are no details. Such a flash also shows a problem, that is, all the clothes on his body are iron armor, and with such equipment, Duoduo doesn't remember when he saw it in the army of the Ming Dynasty, or even on his own army.

The bubble nails used to fix the cotton armor will not shine in the sunlight even if they are polished, and Duoduo swallowed his saliva unconsciously, which is really too eye-catching. Where did this group of Ming troops buy the equipment from, but then it was also awe-inspiring, such equipment combined with the performance of the previous harassing troops, this must be a strong army.

The general Abatai was ordered to wipe out the entire army in Hejian Prefecture, and the specific situation was not known among the relatives and nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty until now, although they sent waves of spies to the Guannai, and took the initiative to spend money for those Ming merchants to help inquire, so that it was extremely easy to obtain information. Now it's so hard.

In addition to knowing that Abatai was completely annihilated by the army led by Shandong's general Li Meng. For the rest, nothing. I don't know what tactics have been used, I don't know what kind of weapons the other side has, and I can't even find out a comparison of the forces of the two sides until now, so I don't know anything.

The army led by Abatai, with so many years of experience in Abatai's southern and northern wars, Duoduo knew that even if he led his troops to Daming, he might not fight better than Abatai.

Seeing the brave attack of the soldiers under the city, such excellent combat skills, and then look at the foot soldiers who are striding over now, and look at the shining armor on the other party, this must be the Shandong army, and you must avoid the sharp edge.

Of course, Duoduo saw the cannons placed at the head of the city behind the foot soldiers, in fact, it was impossible to take advantage of the chaos when these foot soldiers were in formation, and the distance in front of these foot soldiers was the death zone covered by the guns at the head of the city.

Up to now, Duoduo has also touched some of the ways, these fortifications outside the city are routine practices, the existence of the earth fence is not for protection, but to let the forces in the city unexpectedly go out of the city to fight, causing the greatest suddenness, as for those places that look simple in defense and easy to break into, as long as they break in, it is a trap for artillery.

At this time, except for the camp behind him, the army led by Duoduo was unconsciously quiet, watching the actions on the other side with bated breath.

In such a noisy and silent atmosphere, the army led by Wang Hai was already lined up, the axe and gun in Wang Hai's hand were pointed downward, the drummer beat the step drum, the soldiers stepped forward in unison, and the brigade began to move.

According to the observations of experienced generals or veterans on the battlefield, Wang Hai's team will not exceed 3,000 people, but just before the drums sounded, the momentum of this movement was often impossible for 10,000 people.

At that moment, everyone who was observing was in a violent heartbeat, and Duoduo was even more agitated, he received an urgent letter from his brother Dolgon from the Liaoxi Corridor, and sent his troops and horses to Korea, and the letter had been instructed that the two white flags were now in power, and although the situation was extremely favorable to Dorgon, there could be no setbacks or failures, which would become an excuse for the flags to attack. Undermine the authority of the regent.

The two white flags were in power, and in order to win the support of each flag, everything was restored to the era of the four major Baylors discussing politics together, which was to stabilize the situation of the so-called land regent in power, but Dolgon also knew that if he wanted to make his position more stable, or even go further, he had to follow the method left by Huang Taiji. Step by step, power was taken over by the central government, and centralized power was used to rule the Eight Banners, but now, it is necessary to avoid all failures that damage the reputation and majesty of the two white flags.

Looking at the phalanx of armored soldiers moving like a mountain on the opposite side, Duoduo couldn't think of anything that could be repelled in this narrow area, he didn't have the luxury of defeating the other party, this narrow area, it was difficult to repel it.

Ao Bai was already in a bit of a hurry. Plain Suri Duoduo's temper is even hotter than him, and when two people meet on the street, they often have to start a fight, which is already a scene in Shengjing.

But today, how can this Yujun Wang Duoduo be like a girl. After hesitating and silent, Aobai's eyebrows were twisted, and he was about to roar, when he saw that Duoduo beside him finally reacted. The voice of Dord's order was not the flying of the past, but low and dry:

"Aobai, let the Mongolian cavalry under you and me gather 3,000 people to entangle these foot soldiers, let's retreat and fight them behind the camp!!"

Hearing this, Ao Bai finally couldn't help it, and shouted in a deep voice there:

"What kind of arrangement is this for the king of Yujun, the camp is still half set up there, do you have to abandon the camp and retreat regardless of it. We Eight Banners have never been so timid......"

"Shout there again, I'm the commander of the first army, believe it or not, I cut off your head with a big order!!"

Even a fierce man like Ao Bai was taken aback by Duoduo's look like a beast devouring people at this time, and the children of the Aixin Jueluo family, at some point, had such a beastly nature revealed, which was also the reason why their family could dominate Houjin.

Now that the chief general and the deputy general have reached a unified opinion. The order was given immediately. The Mongol light cavalry began to move to the front, and the soldiers who had built the barracks also retreated to the rear.

The only thing that upset Dodor was the cannons. When the order to retreat was given, it was set up, and it was too late to evacuate, so I had to leave it there.

The part of the military camp facing the city wall was built, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty's construction camp was similar to the Ming Dynasty's regulations, and earthworks such as digging ditches and repairing walls were necessary.

These unfinished walls and trenches, as well as those broken facilities, were all thrown here without such care, and also caused problems for the retreat of the Manchu army, but this army was also frightened by the endless tricks in the city, and it was not a bad thing to be able to get farther.

The army retreated a few hundred paces, and it was inevitable that there would be another chaos, and Duoduo and Ao Bai were strictly ordered to restrain the generals at all levels, which was quickly suppressed.

At this time, half of the foot soldiers who came out of Seoul had already walked out of the protective area on the periphery of the city wall, and they had been waiting for the Mongolian light cavalry for a long time, and they were also slowly dispatched under the orders of their commanders.

In the fortified area, where both the enemy and the enemy could not move freely, they took advantage of the fact that they had not yet reached the open area on the periphery, and attacked in the middle to completely disrupt this formation.

Wang Hai observed the roaring light cavalry through the visor, these seemingly vicious cavalry were actually not threatening, and Wang Hai noticed that the Manchu brigade retreated, as if to prepare for battle on the more open ground.

A phalanx of 1,600 spearmen, 400 firecrackers, and 600 firecrackers who followed Wang Hai out of the city this time.

At this time, it was still possible to turn, but there was still an error in the prediction of the distance, and the first row of firearms shot was to sweep down dozens of people.

The advantage of the light cavalry is the freedom of movement, the first row of fire guns, as if throwing a stone at the chicken coop, immediately all scared away, these light horses also scattered. The axe and spear that was originally upright in Wang Hai's hand tilted forward again, and the phalanx behind him continued to move forward.

The firecrackers lined up in front also dispersed, slowly moving forward with the large phalanx, Wang Hai glanced at the position of the sun, the sunlight at this time shone on the armor, the shining armor did not have much effect on the enemy, and it was very likely that the team would affect each other.

Wang Hai remembers that when he left Shandong, the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau said that it could prevent rust in a relatively simple way, instead of the polishing and shiny as it is now.

The phalanx of spears of 1,600 men came out completely from the fortified area. The more than 3,000 Mongolian light cavalry have been unable to do anything, close to the attack, they move much more in the outer ring than the firecrackers in the inner ring, and the reaction time in the inner circle is also much more.

The musketeers would always line up and prepare to shoot before the cavalry rushed over, and the distance between the fortified area and the area where the Manchu army was encamped was not too wide, and the phalanx led by Wang Hai filled the middle distance, leaving a small space for the 3,000 light cavalry. Not to mention the range of the firebolt.

These cavalry roamed in the infantry phalanx, trying to find a way to advance, and the horses ran, and the dust stirred up on the ground boiled to the sky.

The dust that filled the air blocked Wang Hai's view, and he could vaguely see that a large number of Manchurian soldiers and horses had retreated behind the camp. He went out of the city to make an appointment for battle, but the opponent's army avoided the battle when it was far superior in numbers, and the goal could not be achieved, so there was no need to continue to waste time.

"Order. Musketeers shoot freely!! ”

As soon as Wang Hai's order came from this side, the trumpeter behind him immediately sounded the order, and the firecrackers who had been closely leaning on the spear phalanx began to run out with firecrackers, running out of a dozen steps or so, and the distance between them and those cavalry was within the firing range. Set up a fire and fire.

The smoke and dust splashed by the horses' hooves not only obscured the view of the Korean garrison, but even the Mongolian cavalry could not see clearly, and the musketeers also opened fire in a vague direction. But the number of guns is sufficient, and the soldiers on horseback have a large target, even if they can't hit people, they will definitely hit the horses.

A dense firecracker rang out, followed by a crowd of people shouting and screaming, and after this time, the Mongol cavalry left even further. Don't dare to go forward again.

The current battlefield looks very ridiculous, not so much in battle, but in exercises, I saw that these cavalry did not dare to approach from afar, and the foot soldiers with spears and firearms were standing in the center, and the current distance was this length, the cavalry had no way to go around in circles, but could only watch from afar. Keep them close. That's something you wouldn't dare.

But the firecrackers of the infantry phalanx did not dare to get too far away from the phalanx, and the two sides were in such an awkward stalemate......

"Woo" sound. In the midst of the Manchu army, the horn blew, and the Mongol light cavalry who had stayed behind to stop the enemy heard this sound, and hurriedly withdrew from both sides of Wang Hai's army.

The reaction of the other side was very unexpected by Wang Hai, and the arrogance of the Manchu soldiers was one of the characteristics, and the long-term victory of the Han army gave them great confidence.

Wang Hai originally thought that he would first use all kinds of small means to provoke, and then lead this team of about 3,000 people out of the city, and the Tartar soldiers and horses on the opposite side would definitely besiege them regardless of it, as long as it was this kind of fighting, the firearms of the Jiaozhou battalion could play a greater role.

In the other direction of Seoul, there are still about 3,000 soldiers and horses ready to go out of the city, and when the time comes, even if they can't achieve a decisive result, they will give the other side a big defeat.

However, the other party was so cautious that the plan fell through, the smoke and dust on the scene slowly fell, and the visibility became higher, and the main force of the Tartars was behind the unfinished barracks, as if waiting for the next battle.

"My lord, shall we move on?"

Seeing that Wang Hai still didn't react, a regimental deputy garrison beside him was a little anxious, and asked, Wang Hai stared at the trenches and stakes in front of him, or raised the axe and gun in his hand and leaned forward, the marching drum sounded again, and the brigade slowly moved forward.

When he walked to the barracks, Wang Hai stopped the procession, and he could see that the area had gone from flat to fragmented because of the construction of the camp.

If you want to pass through this obstacle, your own formation will become scattered, then this is the opportunity of the Tartars, Hua, who rushed over to fight, his own soldiers are in a state of solitude, and they can't resist at all, and at that time it will definitely lead to a rout, and it will be worth the loss.

At this edge, you can see the cavalry and foot soldiers waiting on the opposite side of the barrier, and even the musketeers cannot line up when passing through this area, and in such an environment, they cannot even complete the smooth reloading of ammunition, and can only become a target for the enemy.

If the leading leader who came over this time would be Aobai, this arrangement made by Wang Hai would definitely allow this Aobai to lead the army to attack regardless of it. Wang Hai can take advantage of the chaos to get a chance to win.

But this time Yujun Wang Duoduo, although he is very young, although he is also irritable and reckless, but now the things to consider are much more comprehensive than Aobai, wars are the continuation of politics, this may not be summed up, but the truth of the matter is so.

Today, Dordor must consider the impact of the victory or defeat on the status of his two white flags, and the impact of this victory on the land of the regent Dorgon. The three brothers, Dolgon, Azig, and Dordor, are one in honor and disgrace, and now, although they are in a higher position, they are also in a more dangerous situation, and they must be careful every step of the way.

Walking to the edge of this area, the axe gun in Wang Hai's hand was erected, and the drummer behind him also stopped beating, and the infantry team remained stationary.

At this moment, the Manchu army array, which could see the dilapidated barracks building, moved forward slightly. It looks like it's waiting for the infantry regiment to pass through the area and is chaotic.

This area can be bypassed, but in this way, it is necessary to defend one's flanks in the process of bypassing, and there will be trouble when turning the corner, and the army that does not have the advantage of numbers will leave its fortress, and it is necessary to fight quickly is the best way. If you turn a corner, it will take too long.

"After the firecrackers are done, the whole team turns back to the city!!"

Wang Hai, the commander of the Korean garrison, was silent for a short time, and soon gave the order. When this order was issued, there was a brief period of noise and confusion in the whole ranks, and after the soldiers and horses of the Jiaozhou battalion went out to fight, there was only a small victory, and they had to withdraw their troops back to the city when they encountered a little difficulty.

If this news spread to Shandong, wouldn't it make the compatriots in the army laugh off their big teeth, but under the sound of drums and the movements of the standard-bearers, the infantry team still made a turn in unison. But the noise did not stop, Wang Hai frowned, and shouted loudly:

"In wartime, you can't make a lot of noise in the battle, don't you think that this general can't practice military law!!"

Wang Hai has been by Li Meng's side for too long, and for the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion, Wang Hai is a figure hidden by the shadow of the giant, and he has no outstanding performance, after capturing Seoul. It can be regarded as establishing a little prestige. But everyone may not be convinced.

Today's noise also appeared for this reason, but in the Jiaozhou camp. This military law is a rule that is greater than the sky, even if the commander issues a disorderly order, subordinates and soldiers must obey it, and there are naturally people above to investigate and hold them accountable afterwards.

After Wang Hai's shout, the team suddenly quieted down, and the firecrackers stayed at the back of the group, ready to stop the pursuers at any time.

The withdrawal of the Korean garrison waited behind the broken camp for the Manchu soldiers and horses to rush forward, but they did not pass through the camp, as if they had used this area as their own fortifications.

Under the gaze of many people, Wang Hai led his troops slowly but smoothly back into the city......

The Manchu army attacked, the Korean royal family in the city have made a few preparations, the weak country and the small people have always respected the strong, no matter who wins to flatter, today's battle has always been the palace and various ministers arranged by the eyeliner in the city to watch the battle, all the situation is a timely return.

When Wang Hai entered the city from Tuwei, his soldiers were all gloomy, and Wang Hai was no better, but the third-ranked minister of North Korea, the Minister of the Right Parliament, personally led a large number of people wearing red and hanging colors to carry various gifts, saying that they wanted to congratulate the victory of the banner.

In the face of the flattery of the North Koreans, Wang Hai asked angrily:

"What victory can we congratulate?"

"The Heavenly Army killed nearly 1,000 Tartar heads today, 2,000 soldiers went out of the city, and more than 10,000 Tartar soldiers and horses did not dare to move, this is not a big victory, what is a big victory?"

In the face of Wang Hai's questioning, the Minister of the Right Parliament of North Korea was dumbfounded, for a small country like North Korea, this is indeed an incomparably brilliant victory, and it is also in the face of a strong army such as the Manchu soldiers and horses, if the North Korean soldiers and horses do it themselves, I am afraid it can be recorded in history as a miracle.

"It seems that this Seoul can't be taken quickly, this king means to send a messenger to urge the people of the rear team to arrive, and use the method of besieging Jinzhou and Songshan to trap this Seoul to death!!"

Duoduo and Ao Bai outside the city said categorically, the first engagement was like this, and the luck in the hearts of the two of them disappeared.

The light cavalry of the Tumut Division had already reached Xingzhong Fort on the banks of the Daling River, which was already under the control of the Chahar Division, and was only two hundred miles away from the Yizhou Wei of the Manchu Dynasty......
