Chapter 961: The bet was won



"Woo!" The trumpet of retreat sounded like a long sigh, like a shrill cry. (.marshmallow)

Yes, crying. It is undeniable that the Jianzhou Jurchens are the most powerful iron-blooded army in this era, although they are still far from their titular Northern Song Dynasty Jurchens.

The Jianzhou Jurchens must move forward bravely in every battle, and the Ming army of that year was usually invincible before seeing anyone.

But today, the Ningxiang reserve cavalry found out that Jiannu would also die, be afraid, and flee.

They fled.

It can be imagined how big a blow this battle was to Jiannu.

……

"The enemy retreated, and the bet was won." Hearing the enemy's horn and seeing the retreating Jiannu, Sun Yuan finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Yes, he personally led the charge to gamble, and the bet was that Hauge would not dare to exchange his life for a life.

There were not many people who built slaves, and when Dolgon participated in the Stone War, there were only more than 70,000 people in the entire Manchu Eight Banners, and there were only seven or eight thousand armorers in each banner

Compared with the huge Ming Empire, the plundering of manpower is very obvious. The Ming Dynasty was able to hoard 100,000 troops on the front line of Guanning and Liaoxi, and consumed millions of taels of silver every year.

Even if the Manchu Qing Dynasty defeated the Guanning Army, there were also the Xuanfu Army, the Datong Army, the Taiyuan Army, the Yansui Army, as well as the Xiang Army, the Township Army, and the local town defenders.

Even the Hongguang regime in Nanjing, which only owns half of the country, adds up to more than one million troops at hand.

In modern society, human resources may be regarded as a burden, and the state has even issued a series of policies to restrict births. But in ancient times, especially in times of war, it was a valuable asset.

If it weren't for the civil strife of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, if it weren't for the natural disasters, if the Ming and Qing dynasties continued to confront each other like this, the Ming Dynasty would be able to drag the entire Jianzhou to death just by fighting for consumption, as long as there was enough time.

In real history, after the Manchus entered the Central Plains and occupied the entire north, the shortage of human resources has become a major bottleneck restricting them. Because, later, the main forces attacking Nanming have been replaced by the new annex army and the Han army flag.

Through his own knowledge of history, he knows that after the failure of the succession, Hauge has become a thorn in Dorgon's side, and he will want to get rid of him as soon as possible. The Manchus were more fierce to their own people than to outsiders, especially in this brutal political struggle, where the loser was not only killed, but also suffered great personal humiliation.

For the restrictions of Hauge and the Blue Banner, Dorgon had reached the point of unscrupulousness, depriving him of his title twice. Later, in the fourth year of Shunzhi, after Haoge pacified Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, he was sent to prison, and finally died in it for no apparent reason.

The history books say that Hauge died violently. But in Sun Yuan's opinion, it is extremely likely that he was tortured and killed by Dolgon. When it comes to political opponents, Dorgon is never soft and does not care about public opinion.

What does Haoge say, in Sun Yuan's view, this person is more completely sinicized, after all, he is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, who grew up in the palace since he was a child, and must have received a systematic and complete Sinology education. Moreover, strictly speaking in spirit, Huang Taiji is also sinicized. After all, in this era, Han culture is the mainstream, the most advanced cultural and spiritual system

But the problem lies in the sinicization, in fact, there was a cultural fault in Han culture after the Song Dynasty, and the Song, Yuanming, and the previous Han and Tang dynasties were fundamentally two categories. As a result of reading too many Han books, Hauge became indecisive and had a cowardly personality. This point is vividly demonstrated in the fact that he inexplicably lost the succession to the throne.

It is precisely because of such a certainty in his character that his future tragic fate is determined.

But it is undeniable that this person is the most resourceful person in the upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty after Huang Taiji, and he also knows how to forbear and is full of resilience.

Back then, when his wife's family was questioned for offending Huang Taiji, Hauge actually killed his wife Xiang Mingzhi to his father in order to protect himself and his own power, which won Huang Taiji's trust.

This is a ruthless person who can do anything for the sake of a goal. As for morality and social opinion, it simply doesn't care.

Now, Hauge has completely lost ground in the upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and like the water dogs, he has fallen into a miserable situation. All he relied on was his position as the owner of the Blue Banner and the thousands of soldiers loyal to him in the banner.

This is the only capital he has to turn over, if he loses it all, it will be a catastrophe.

There are more than 7,000 armorers in the Zhenglan Banner, and in the past two years, the slaves in the banner and the Han army under Hauge have been swallowed up by Dolgon under one excuse or another.

In this battle, Hauge dispatched 2,000 bannermen.

The battle was extremely fierce and brutal from the beginning, and the light cavalry was not actually the main force in the general battle, and its main role was to harass and pursue, maneuvering and cutting off the enemy's logistical supply. The concentration of cavalry on both sides of the enemy and us to hedge has always been something that everyone should try their best to avoid. Unless it's a last resort, or a sudden encounter.

The cavalry battle of the two armies, which are similar in combat effectiveness, organizational strength, and courage, is entangled and hedged against each other as soon as it is launched, and in the end, it will become a chaotic battle if it is not said well. That's standard hand-to-hand combat, and hand-to-hand combat has no skills, nothing more than exchanging lives for lives. When you hit an enemy with a single sword, you will also be stabbed off by another enemy.

Therefore, according to statistics, in such a hand-to-hand fight, the battle loss ratio of both sides will be one to one, or seven to ten.

Today, the reserve cavalry of the Ningxiang Army suddenly attacked, and the soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner were in a mess at the beginning and fell

。 If the battle is fought to the end, the battle loss ratio of the reserve cavalry and Jiannu should be about seven to ten. Sun Yuan's cavalry of more than 1,000 people will certainly be exhausted, and the 2,000 people of Zhenglan Banner will only be estimated to have one or two hundred people left, which is no different from the annihilation of the whole army.

This is already the end of the same.

Sun Yuan is not afraid, this more than 1,000 reserve cavalry has been lost, and it is a big deal to train one in the future, my Ming Dynasty has a huge manpower advantage. As the commander of an army, although he doesn't want to admit it, sometimes, the soldier is really just a number, and he is not in charge of the army, and sometimes he wants to send the soldiers to death and consume them in order to achieve a strategic goal.

The Battle of the Somme suffered about 1.34 million casualties on both sides, including more than 450,000 British troops, more than 340,000 French troops, and 530,000 German troops, of which the British army paid 60,000 casualties on the first day. War really does not tolerate mercy, especially the commander-in-chief.

The Ningxiang Army can afford to consume it, but the Zhenglan Banner can't afford it.

After the continuous weakening of Dolgon, how many people can there be now, six thousand?

Today, Haoge's two thousand centaurs should be the essence of the essence of the flag, if they are all lost here, the blue flag is reduced by 30%, how to gain a foothold in the Eight Banners?

Hauge is cunning, fierce, and heavy-minded, he will never be willing to lose the throne like this, even if he has no ambition, in order to protect himself, he will keep the poor power at hand no matter what, and he will definitely not drain the blood of the Zhenglan Banner led by Duoduo and Azig, the two loyal dogs of Dolgon.

Even if he conquers the entire Dongyang Continent and enters the Central Plains, this world is still his Dolgon's world, and what does it have to do with him Haoge. The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, and when the world is decided, the first thing Dolgon has to clean up is the blue flag.

Hehe, it's okay that this person doesn't read, as soon as he reads, he has more eyes, and Haoge will be no exception.

The reason why the combat effectiveness of the Manchu Eight Banners fell so quickly was because they began to learn the advanced political system and began to stratify the class after occupying the flowers and rivers of the Han people.

The reason why barbarism can defeat civilization is because in the barbaric world, strength is respected, and everyone has one heart and one rope. Once the high and low are divided, people's hearts will be scattered.

This country and this nation are nothing but the countries and nations of superior people, so what does it have to do with us. Even if Jianzhou sweeps the world, what does it have to do with our blue flag, and we will not be bullied by them in the future?

That's probably what Hauge and his men were thinking, right?

Sun Yuan is gambling, betting on the speed of the fall of the blue flag

The result was that he won the bet.

……

The short but fierce battle came to an abrupt end, and the two sides separated.

One by one, the horses that had run away from their strength foamed at the mouth, and the wounded soldiers trembled and tried their best to endure it. Some people tried their best to open their eyes in the wind and sand to find their comrades, and the blood of men and horses flowed wantonly all over the ground, and the broken weapons were scattered in all directions.

There was a soldier who walked blankly with an arm between his hands, which was his left hand, and he was going to take it home and put it in a coffin, so that he could be completely dead after a hundred years.

Some of them collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. In front of him were strangely shaped corpses entangled in various limb postures, full of red, and the rolling yellow dust was also burned red, and fell down solemnly, falling on the head and face of the deceased, like the rain of death.

"Caught a Jiannu!" Someone shouted, and then the broken spear shaft kept pumping at him.

That Jiannu had already given up resistance, and only held his head and endured it mournfully, shouting something in his mouth.

Sun Yuan asked a man who knew Manchu: "What is he shouting?" "This person is his personal guard, born in the cavalry of the Liaodong Border Army, and it can be said that he grew up among the Jiannu.

Another guard smiled and said, "What else can you shout, beg for mercy!" ”

"It's not." The guard, who was asked, shook his head and read, "Losing my Yanzhi Mountain has made my women colorless." The loss of my mountain makes my women colorless. The loss of my Qilian Mountain will make my six animals restless. The death of my Qilian Mountain has made my six animals restless...... They have it today! ”

"Stop fighting, leave the captives." Sun Yuan: "Treat their injuries, and then detain them, maybe they will be used in the future." ”

After the war, about the statistics, the battle was only half an hour, and it was all fought in the hazy wind and sand, and both sides paid the price of more than 400 lives.

Hauge's cavalry was crippled, and the reserve cavalry was also beaten to the ground.
