Chapter 470: Frustration of the Demonstrations The Battle of Ruzhou Begins

If you see the cavalry, if it is a cavalry brigade, the red flag will be unified(Will lead the army to assault, although the Jurchen Tatars have absolute confidence in the Mongol cavalry on the steppe.)

The Jurchens could mobilize more cavalry than any tribe in the steppe, and the Jurchen cavalry was better equipped and better trained, and in any head-to-head encounter, the Manchus were confident of defeating the Mongol cavalry. Of course, there is a limit to this, among the cavalry led by Atamu there are already men and horses of the Eight Banners, and if he encounters tens of thousands of Tumut cavalry, he must flee quickly.

However, when it comes to this large convoy, this Atamu has no reason not to fight, this kind of large convoy is basically a team transporting forage and grain, or transporting goods to the nobles of Tumut, this kind of transportation team, no matter how many guards there are, is not a fighting force, and there is a lot of oil and water.

The place where the Zhenghong Banner Commander Atamu and the large army are located is a slightly raised hilly area, which is the natural geographical boundary of the Liaodi Plain and the grassland, and in this direction of the grassland, it is impossible to see a large number of Manchurian cavalry hidden by the hills, but in the direction of Atamu, you can see the boundless steppe opposite.

Even if this large convoy is the bait of the other party, there is no sign of an ambush at all within the sight of the eye at the moment.

Dutong Atamu is also a veteran who has led troops for many years, so he can naturally estimate that this large convoy is only more than 60 large carts, and there are more than 1,000 people including the guards, even if there are ambushes, if these cavalry go down to eat this team, they can escape after the arrival of the opponent's cavalry.

The path he chose was indeed safe in the hearts of the herdsmen on the steppe, and there would be no road for ambushes to lurk, but among the Han people and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they knew that there was a place to lurk.

Looking at the leisurely herdsmen's convoy on the grassland, this Red Banner Commander Atamu couldn't help but sneer, and immediately gave an order to the team around him.

When this large group of cavalry rushed out, the large convoy did not have the panic that these Jurchen cavalry expected, but under the guidance of the coachman, it slowly circled in a circle, and the herdsmen who drove the cart moved quickly, unloading the cattle and horses pulling the cart and then rushed to the inner circle.

The height of this kind of cart, the cavalry who are skilled in riding can even cross the horse, what can this do, the commander of the Red Banner Atamu has no intention of being wary at all, he thinks that it may be the cavalry that can cause trouble, that is, those who serve as escorts, but these cavalry after the Manchu brigade of cavalry rushed out, after being slightly stunned, they immediately ran in the other direction and fled.

There was no threat in front of him, the convoy had become a piece of fat to be slaughtered, and the next thing was to swallow him.

When the Manchu cavalry roared and rushed to the front of him. The covering cloth on the cart was removed. The fire soldiers hiding inside have long been waiting for battle. It's already close enough. Fifty paces away. It's too late to turn. The inertia of the running ground also allows them to continue to take a few steps forward.

This is already within the effective firing range of the firebolt. The cavalry that rushed to the front was hit head-on by a series of firing cymbals. It doesn't matter if it's chain mail or cotton armor. None of them can effectively shield the lead shot from high flying ground. The horses running in front of them fell directly to the ground. The horses behind them tripped over the ground in front. It's chaos again.

But this time I shoot it. It seems to be a little early. Shooting is just a frustration for the opposing ground striker. And caused chaos for the other side. But that's about it.

and the day of the day. Tempting the cavalry of the grasslands to besiege with salt carts. Then the center blooms. Gives heavy damage to the ground tactics compared to. It's just too far away.

The Red Banner Commander Atamu reined in the horses in time. The chaos ahead frightened him. The movement not far away terrified him even more. I could see that the guards and cavalry who had just fled actually ran halfway and turned back. It's a trap. The real trouble is not how many cavalry there are in the distance. It's such a sharp firearm. The cavalry simply could not gnaw down. You have to use artillery to be sure.

If you are caught up by that small force of ground escort cavalry. I'm afraid I won't be able to run back. Zhenghongqi Commander Atamu quickly made a judgment. When they stormed the large convoy, they lost more than 100 cavalry. This loss is not too big. It's still too late to run.

Atamu hurriedly gave the order, and the cavalry led by him turned around the bend one after another, and the momentum of the forward rush was finally stopped, and the whole team was really chaotic.

But after all, it is outside the range of the fire guns on the large convoy, the escort cavalry of this convoy runs far, and there is still a period of time to come back, Atamu is a veteran after all, and his judgment is very accurate, that is, because there is no reckless attack, so he can withdraw in time.

Thousands of Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry with red flags fled as fast as they came, and the small ambush soldiers of the large convoy could not catch up, and this ambush looked very unsuccessful.

When retreating, it was very chaotic, the brigade still maintained cohesion, did not collapse, has been running out for fifteen miles, to make sure that there is no chasing soldiers behind, the capital of Atamu can be regarded as relieved, but the more I think about it, the more frightened I become, what kind of goods are those Mongolian tribes on the grassland, Atamu has seen too much.

Today's firecrackers and chariot formations, including the application of cavalry squads, the Mongol nobles and soldiers on the steppe can do this, and I am afraid that the great empire of the past will still last.

When he arrived at the position of Dutong, he was already considered a high-level of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he could know many secrets, such as the great defeat of Hejian Mansion and related rumors, such as the extremely sharp firearms in Shandong, and the offensive and defensive battles fought by Duoduo under the city of Hancheng today, the firearms of the Ming army defending the city were also spread among the upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Could it be that the Tumut cavalry on the steppe actually colluded with the North Korean side, this idea was extremely strange, but Atamu thought about it a little deeply, and he felt creepy.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if there is no collusion between the Ming army of Tumut Mongolia and North Korea, with sharp firearms, and tens of thousands of cavalry of the Tumut Department who can fight like this, it is also a huge threat, and it is necessary to report these details to Shengjing, although the British prince Azig and his own lord Belle Kedehun are coming, but these soldiers and horses may not be enough, and more soldiers and horses must be added, and the grasslands west of Shengjing, Shenyang and Liaoyang also need the protection of heavy troops.

Atamu, the commander of the Red Banner who returned to his station, was shocked, and immediately compiled what he thought into two secret letters.

The excerpt of the imperial court, this is for the emperor and the regent Dolgon, 7|His own flag officiant Prince Dai Shan, the current situation, is dangerous!

After July, Shengjing, the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was very wrong, just the year before last, Shengjing had a bit of prosperity, quite a bit of the grandeur of the Ming Dynasty, the luxury of the nobles, the victories of foreign conquests, and the expansion of foreign trade, all let a large amount of wealth and population flow to Shengjing.

The Jurchen Eight Banners in the city and the nobles of the Mongolian tribes are all enjoying the great, every day of the wine banquet singing and dancing, or it is gathered in a certain house to watch the domestic troupe, a peaceful and rich scene, this year if anyone says to go hunting or falconry outside the city, will definitely be laughed off the big teeth, think it is a savage dirt bag.

Young children like the concubines of the Han people, like the costumes of the Ming Dynasty, and like to learn the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, which is the fashion of the whole Shengjing, and more and more Jurchen young people do not know how to shoot arrows, or even ride horses, which is considered to be the behavior of nobles.

At that time, Huang Taiji had a great headache about these things, he knew that if the Jurchen got rid of that kind of barbarism, it would become peaceful, and he tried all kinds of ways to change this style, but unfortunately it had little effect, but it made the relatives and nobles of the banners quite disgusted.

However, the prestige of Huang Taiji is extremely high, and everyone doesn't dare to oppose this kind of punishment, so they can only say a few words behind their backs, and after Dolgon becomes the regent, he wants to win the support of all the forces of the banners, and he can't manage too much about this kind of thing, and he is not qualified to restrain others, because Dol is the model of sinicization in Shengjing City, and he has always been led by this trend.

So in the past two years, these Manchu pro-noble children have been playing too crazy, and the old-school characters are not used to it, and they talk coldly every day, but they can't change anything.

In the history without Li Meng, the army of the Eight Banners was extremely corrupt and degenerate after entering the customs, without the support of the traitor army, they would not be able to seize the world at all, and it is difficult to say whether they can keep the continuation of their own ethnic group.

But in July of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, there were a few changes, and some people began to restrain the unbridled extravagance of these noble children in Shengjing.

And the person who made this constraint was the representative of this extravagant sinicization behavior, the regent Dol, Dolgon, in the name of the Shunzhi Emperor, issued a decree requiring the Jurchens and the children of the Eight Banners of Mongolia to be assessed in archery and martial arts over the age of fourteen.

If you can't pass the assessment, you will be deprived of your future and cut off your money, and if there are too many unqualified relatives and nobles in each banner, this banner will even be deprived of the population.

Depriving the population of the cattle record, this is the biggest punishment in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the strength of each flag is completely dependent on the number of the banners, depriving the population of the flag is equivalent to cutting off the lifeblood of these flags.

At that time, Nurhachi banned Shuerhaqi, and Huang Taiji banned Amin and Mang Gurtai, all of which deprived and reduced their Qiding Niulu, which was considered to be an extremely ruthless means.

As soon as this decree came out, there was an uproar everywhere in Shengjing and Liaoyang, and the relatives and nobles of each banner thought that the regent was crazy, and even there were fierce feedback from Jilin and Ningguta.

However, what is even more surprising is that the banner owners of each banner are clearly expressing their support, regardless of whether there is a contradiction with Doer, they are all clear statements, such as Prince Su Haoge, Prince Li Daishan, and Prince Zheng Zierharang who returned to Shengjing, and sent his own soldiers to assist in the execution.

The failure of the Korean siege and the sudden appearance of hostile Mongol cavalry on the Liaozhong border put the Manchus in danger of internal warfare, and their relatively small population stretched their defensive forces everywhere, and they had to carry out a full mobilization.

In the huge Ten Kings Pavilion, only these four princes sat inside, and everyone's faces were not good-looking.

"Over there in Liaohetao, this king can just take his troops to go, and where else can he collect some Mongolian herdsmen on the grassland, which can be regarded as a help for us."

Prince Zheng Jierharang has never been willing to stay in the circle of Shengjing for long, anyway, this time the discussion is also to arrange who will go where to guard, and lead the troops to fight, rather than being arranged, it is better to take the initiative to ask for help, Zierharang knows very well in his heart, don't look at the few people sitting here are contradictory to each other, but if there is any contradiction, he will definitely be attacked by the group.

After all, these people are Nurhachi's relatives, and their own side is just the relationship between uncle and nephew, and the Liaohetao side is the barrier of Shengjing and Liaoyang, the two places in the heart of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is an important place, and Jierharang has also been guarding there for many years, so he is more familiar with it, and he will go.

Hearing Jilharang's statement, everyone couldn't say anything, and now the real danger is really on the side of the Da Ling River and the Xiao Ling River, and the Liaohe Loop here can only be said to be a possible danger.

Moreover, Liaohetao is very close to Shengjing and Liaoyang, so it can be supplemented nearby, but since Prince Zheng opened his mouth, it is not easy to refute, Dolgon nodded stiffly, and said:

"Prince Zheng is working hard, and tomorrow there will be someone from the military department to arrange various matters."

Even if this matter is settled, Prince Zheng sat on the chair and bowed his body, but suddenly remembered something, and said in a deep voice:

"When I went to the side of Hutt Mountain to catch the savages this time, I heard from the people who lived there that there were a small group of Rakshasas coming from the north, and several villages in Daur were suffering.

Hearing Prince Zheng's words, Dolgon waved his hand impatiently and said:

"Prince Zheng's garrison on the Liaohetao side is already a heavy military task, and the place in the deep mountains and old forests over there in Daur has nothing to do with it."

Prince Zheng Zilharang also said casually, since Dolgon didn't care, he didn't insist anymore, and sat in his chair in silence as usual.

"There are too many places bordering the grassland and our Daqing, how to guard against it, and now the plan is to clear the scourge of Liaodi as soon as possible, the soldiers go to the grassland to clear these cavalry, they have firearms, let's take the cannons, these people can't go to the sky."

Among the princes present, Dolgon is older than Hauge, because he is one of the princes, he usually pretends to be calm and serious, but now there is chaos in all directions

He was also a little anxious, and after hurriedly saying the above, the regent Prince Hauge of Dole said:

"Prince Su, after receiving the court's persuasion to surrender, Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of the Ningyuan regiment, is still hesitant at both ends of the rat, and asks Prince Su to send someone to either annihilate him outside the pass or drive him out, don't involve our troops in Liaoxi."

After hearing this, Prince Hauge of Su nodded without hesitation, and Dolgon let out a long breath, and turned to Prince Daishan beside him with a little solemnity, and said:

"This hinterland in the Shengjing area, how about asking my eldest brother to guard it with me?"

Dai Shan nodded slowly, and Dolgon stood up and bowed to everyone in the room quite solemnly, and said in a solemn voice:

"How difficult the situation is now, and it takes your concerted efforts to get through it, this ......"

Having said this, there is something that I can't say anymore, the atmosphere in the room is even more dull, everyone is speechless, just a year ago, everyone is still thinking about how to distribute the flowers in the world after entering the customs, how suddenly, a good Qing Dynasty is suddenly embattled.

This is really incomprehensible, and everyone's mood is extremely heavy......

"Bai Guangen and Gao Jie, who are damn in the day, they play as strikers in Pingsuri, why did they push Lao Tzu to the front today, Xu Dingguo's bastard head was also burned out, Hou Na's old sour thing spoke, he actually listened, and stupidly ran to the front to die!"

He Renlong, the chief soldier of Shaanxi, has not stopped scolding in front of the army, and the deputy general and others around him are used to it, and they all look at the front with a straight face.

After the northern part of Ruzhou was completely cleared and stabilized, it was already the middle of July, and Li Zicheng led a large army to the north, and the Governor Hou also urged the soldiers and horses to go south from Ruzhou City to prepare for battle.

There is an official road between Ruzhou and Baofeng, and there is a waterway connected by Rushui, the march is quite convenient, this march, Hou is still cautious and abnormal, unwilling to divide the troops lightly, although Li Zicheng sent a small force to attract several times in the Huoshan area, but the Governor Hou was unmoved, and it was still a large soldier who went straight.

In the middle of the line, Li Zicheng's Shun army had to engage in battle, and before the battle, Hou made some arrangements, convened the four general soldiers to discuss, and I don't know whether it was discussed in advance or how, several general soldiers pushed this He Renlong to play the forward, and Xu Dingguo was willing to be the deputy.

He Renlong is called He Maniac, the most feared by the army, and it is also the right thing to let him play as a striker, of course, this He Renlong himself may not think so, but although he is domineering, he is not easy to say anything if he is elected by several general soldiers together.

Back then, Yang Sichang cheated between He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu, but it turned out to be self-defeating, and in the end, Hou committed suicide very lightly, and he directly made a promise.

If you can really defeat the thieves and soldiers, the most important thing for several generals is also the reward of the marquis, and the position of the prince of the country will not be able to run, and the benefit will not be lost by a point, which is what makes these generals slightly interested and warlike, and they are determined to fight.

When the armies of the two sides met, the flat and empty terrain, and the state of knowing themselves and the enemy, there were no tricks to play, and they directly opened the formation on the left side of the official road.

After the Governor Hou took the car battalion out of Tongguan, it was a success, this time it was naturally used, the vanguard was the five rows of carts, the front of the carts were covered with large shields, and the officers and soldiers behind them were pushing, and there was a gap between the carts in each column, which was convenient for stepping in and out.

He Renlong, the chief soldier of Shaanxi, led 4,000 elite cavalry, and Xu Dingguo, the general soldier of Shanxi, led 3,500 cavalry, just behind the cart, waiting for the opportunity to move.

And the Shun army is still in an ordinary position, Li Zicheng is in the middle of the army to suppress the formation, this time it was the original guard of Ruzhou Dashun Guoyi general Xie Junyou as the forward, the Shun army also has military law, although there is a plan to lure the enemy deep, but the situation of the Shun army in Ruzhou is a mess, and the poor management of this Guoyi general also has a lot to do with it.

This time, General Guoyi Xie Junyou served as the striker, which is also the reason for his meritorious service, and the nearly 10,000 people in the vanguard are the elite of the old battalion of the Shun Army and the old division of Luo Rucai, and their combat effectiveness is trustworthy.

Since the start of the war, the formation of the Ming army began to move forward, the cart in front of it slowly pushed forward, and the cavalry of the brigade behind followed, the Shun army was really quite a headache for this cart, bows and arrows and bird cymbals could not deal with these things, and the cannon could not be erected in a hurry, which was not suitable for field warfare, and was always slowly advanced by the other party every time, and then the officers and soldiers stepped forward to attack from the gap, and had no choice but to retreat.

Guo Yi's general Xie Junyou didn't have a very good idea, this time he specially arranged two thousand foot soldiers armed with big axes and big vertebrae, ready to rush to the front, destroy these carts nearby, and then attack the rear of the Ming army.

The two sides approached each other, and they saw more and more clearly, but the soldiers of Shun who were walking in front saw the flag of the Ming army fluttering behind the large convoy.

"He is crazy...... On the other side is the big worm of the madman......"

Such discussions come and go, the whole formation of the Shun army is suddenly a little commotion, although the battle between the Shun army and the Ming army is more victorious and less losing, but there are also people they are afraid of, this Shaanxi general soldier He Renlong is the most feared one of the Shun army, since Li Zicheng raised troops in Shaanxi, He Renlong beat Li Zicheng and the army to the end of the road several times, Chongzhen Qi surrounded Li Zicheng in Longzhou, Gao Jie surrendered to the official army at that time, and defeated the army in Tongguan, Li Zicheng only had a dozen horsemen left that He Renlong also participated.

He is a person who is violent on weekdays, but he is like a mad tiger when he fights, rushing and fighting, and his subordinate soldiers and horses are also a general fierce style, this fierce force few troops can withstand, especially for the Shun army, He Renlong is called He Maniac by the Shun army, and the generals are extremely jealous.

Originally, everyone thought that He Renlong was in the rear team, but they didn't expect today's battle, this madman actually rushed to the front, this is a long time ago, the front team led by General Guoyi Xie Junyou gradually began to stir, and the panic of several people gradually spread, becoming the panic of the entire front team.

But the car formation on the opposite side is still approaching unhurriedly, and the situation is not good for the Shun army......
