Chapter 319: Planning the Battle of Pingshan

Fifteen miles north of Yingzhou, there is a village, said five family villages, there have always been five big surnames living here, in the seventh battalion of the cavalry town in Hunyuan Prefecture and the Tatar soldiers at the same time, out of the right wing of the south of the Tartar inlaid with a blue flag, with Niu Lu Zhangjing Yehri Saha as the vanguard, with 210 Tatar soldiers, 300 Mongolian eight banner soldiers, 36 Aha soldiers, a total of more than 900 people.

Thirty miles ahead of the main force, playing the blue flag with red edges, with a lone army going deep, first breaking through the small villages near Xi'an Fort, Xiaolinzhuang and other places, capturing a large number of Ming Dynasty soldiers and civilians who failed to flee in time, getting forty carts of goods and goods, except for a stay and waiting for most of the department, the Ministry Niu Lu Zhangjing personally led the main force to the south, preparing to plunder the rumored rich Yingzhou.

As a result, when passing through the forts, the secret spies of the beggar army found out, and warned Yingzhou for two consecutive days, the first day, reported 700 Tartar soldiers, more than 1,000 horses, and the next day, reported that there were no reinforcements for the Tartar soldiers, so the first battalion of the cavalry town of the beggar army, which went out to the northeast of Shanyin, began to gradually move north under the personal command of Liang Sijiu.

By the ninth day of June, they gathered at the junction of Pingshan, fifteen miles west of Wujiazhai, and almost all of the three battalions of the first, second, and fourth battalions of the cavalry town of the begging army who received the message from Liang Sijiu gathered.

There were 1,600 elite Mongolian cavalry, and the rest of the cavalry 4,600, totaling more than 6,200 people.

Since the Mongolian cavalry was newly joined, most of them were organized and trained separately into the army, and after the run-in in the future, they were incorporated into the various armies, and the first battalion, as the main battalion of the cavalry town, was organized into two Mongol cavalry, both counting 800 people.

Such a large-scale troop mobilization, of course, could not hide the Datong Zhenming army in front of them, but now, they only passively cowered in the city, and did not dare to act rashly, because the cavalry of the Tartar soldiers also went out to the border of Yingzhou, so whether it was the beggar army or the Tartar soldiers, they could not afford to provoke them, so they simply closed the city gate, guarded the city, and let them fight, and it was best to kill them.

And the Tartar soldiers are arrogant and abnormal, coupled with the vague information they have obtained, and the Jin merchants who have betrayed the enemy outside their mouths can't figure out how many people there are in the beggar army, what the equipment is, and whether there are large-scale cavalry, all of which are imaginary numbers, at least Huang Taiji, who is now stationed in the city of Guihua and has received war reports from various ministries, is full of confidence in this invasion.

However, his first task is to go to Daizhou, Shanxi Province to take a walk around, to see what the soldiers and horses that claim to be able to compete with him for the world are like, if there is a chance, the Tartars will weaken the beggar army, at least not let them live in peace.

As for whether the Ming Dynasty believes it or not, Huang Taiji is not worried at all, a general who has an army of more than 100,000 and does not listen to the central government, as long as he adds fuel to the fire, he believes that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will definitely turn his face with him.

As long as the Ming army and the begging army go to war, then no matter which side it is, it is bound to be a fish to death, let Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan, Ma Guozhu and other officials of the museum analyze, think that this time the army enters the army, it must be a loot, but these are all trivial matters, the top priority is to touch the beggar army, and see how the details are.

And then the counter-plan, so that the Ming Dynasty and Li Jing completely turned their faces, for this, regardless of the Manchu and Han ministers, they all feel that it is a matter of nine out of ten, the most unfortunate, Li Jing broke Datong, Xuanfu, coerced the Beijing Division, and then fell into the infinite bitter battle with the Ming army, and when this army and the Ming army were both defeated, the Ming Dynasty must transfer the whole army of the Ning Army into the pass.

At that time, Houjin will be able to raise a large army to march westward, attack Shanhaiguan, and then sit and watch the situation, and wait for the drastic changes in the world, so that it is impossible to enter the Central Plains and dominate the world.

Of course, the premise of everything is based on the absolute military superiority of the Jurchens over the begging army, and if they can't be defeated, it's all in vain, but at this time, no one thinks that the begging army is a henchman, at most they think that it is just a local separatist force of the Ming army, and in front of the invincible Jurchen iron cavalry, it is a glimpse of the defeated army.

It is no wonder that the Jurchen soldiers are arrogant, even the most elite Guan Ning army of the Ming Dynasty is in front of them, and it is also a commodity that is about to collapse in the field, not to mention the newly emerging beggar army.

Therefore, they don't know much about the specific establishment of the beggar army, the number of people, the combat effectiveness, the equipment, and whether there are large-scale cavalry, and they simply feel that in front of the Jurchen iron cavalry, they are all vulnerable, so that later, they buried a series of defeats and finally went to extinction.

The intelligence at the top is not clear, not to mention the low-level Niu Lu Zhangjing like Yehri Saha, an official like him, placed in the Ming army, is slightly larger than a hundred households, ranking in the position of a hundred generals in the army, and letting him command hundreds of people to fight, but to play intelligence collection and analysis, and the keen awareness of changes in the battlefield situation, that is to embarrass people.

He didn't even know the big characters in the basket, let alone the marching strategy.

But after all, he is cunning by nature, and he has rich experience in marching and fighting, although he is arrogant, but the necessary scouts on the battlefield are still sent out one by one, and seeing that the reconnaissance cannot be ambushed and sneak attacked, Liang Sijiu can only find another way.

In a clearing at the foot of the mountain in Pingshan, he summoned the battalion leaders of the three battalions and the supervisor to discuss how to fight.

"The Tartar soldiers are wearing heavy armor, and all those who belong to the scouts must be elite, and they are called by three horses near and far, but it is useless to capture one person, and the strength of our army will inevitably be exposed, so the ambush is not successful, and it seems that it can only fight hard."

Not everyone has the same luck as Wu Guangnian and Zhao Pu, just happened to encounter the Tartar soldiers who were wreaking havoc in the place, unprepared, besides, there were 700 Tartars in front of them, including 200 real Tartars, this battle is not easy to fight, at least Liang Sijiu still remembers the face-to-face instructions given to him by Li Jing before leaving,

"Now, my beggar army cavalry, basically are infantry on horseback, can not be good at horse warfare, this is similar to the Tartars, but the Tartars have been on the battlefield for a long time, ignorant and fearless, so to the death to fight the enemy, my beggar army can be three enemies one, is victory, you go, be sure not to underestimate the enemy, remember, remember!"

Therefore, even Li Jing, who has always been a last resort, attaches so much importance to the combat effectiveness of the Tartars, and of course Liang Sijiu will not underestimate the enemy.

The battalion Zhengqiu of the first battalion honestly touched his head and said quietly, "Dashuai, you just have to say, our first battalion is absolutely unambiguous, and the custody is where to fight!" ”

The fourth battalion of the battalion Zhengwang Guzong frowned when he heard this, "Dashuai, the seventh battalion encountered more than fifty true Tartars, and they attacked the thieves with five times the strength, but they still lost fifty or sixty brothers, this Tartar is not easy to fight, and they lost one in Hunyuan Prefecture, this road of soldiers and horses must be careful to guard against us." ”

They can't help but treat it carelessly, the battle report of the seventh battalion of Hunyuan Prefecture was placed in detail in front of several people, everyone looked at it and looked, and they all felt that the Tartars were not easy to fight, and they attacked with several times the number of troops, in fact, it was when dealing with the real Tartars, there were a large number of casualties, and if they were to face it head-on, none of the people present dared to pat their chests and say that one of them under their command could deal with two hundred Tartar soldiers head-on.

"And what do you mean?"

Although Liang Sijiu had some plans in his heart, he knew that he didn't want to bring the troops to the point of heavy losses because of himself.

"If according to my meaning, this group of Tartar soldiers rushed forward, and there were no reinforcements in the follow-up, why not send people to seduce slowly, only use a small cavalry to go up, steal cold guns and arrows, in my opinion, the leader of the Tartar soldiers is the Mongolian vassal army, equipped with armor, can not protect, why not eat this part first, and then surround the real Tartars with a large army, and use our army to carry twenty tiger squatting cannons to gather and annihilate them, so as to reduce the casualties of our brothers!"

Wang Guzong's background is also high in the entire begging army, because his father was the commander of the Yamen of the Shaanxi Dusi, and he also served as the deputy general of Yulin Border Town, but he has been dead for a long time, and his family is not happy, and in his generation, he can be regarded as a down-and-out cavalry commander.

Later, for the sake of the future, and saw that the begging army had the possibility of winning the world, he resolutely joined the begging army, more than half a year, it can be regarded as mixed with the high-level, dignified as the battalion of the cavalry town, not much worse than the rest of the infantry town brigade rate, in the past, Liang Sijiu also listened to his opinion, and at this moment, he heard the words, to point a little.

"Let's talk about it in detail, what kind of transfer method?"

Wang Guzong thought for a while, and then said, "Since ancient times, the Mongolian cavalry has been known for its lightly armed salvos, and this group of Tartars has also used Mongolian cavalry to open the way, and pulled out several miles from head to end. ”

Liang Sijiu thought for a while and felt that it was feasible, these Tartars, but they were notoriously arrogant, and they didn't take the Ming troops stationed in the place in their eyes at all, if someone dared to sneak attack with secret arrows, they would definitely not be able to give up easily.

Seeing that Liang Sijiu and Wang Guzong both thought so, Zhang Tingzu, the cavalry town clerk standing behind Liang Sijiu, couldn't sit still, that day in Xi'an City, after being subdued by Li Jing, he lived a hard life, squatting in the prison for 20 days, thinking that he was about to be executed, but the peak turned around, and was kicked into the cavalry town by Li Jing.

started from the logistics manager at the grassroots level, but this person's brain is active, even if he was deliberately made difficult by Li Jing's orders, he still came up with his ability, and Liang Sijiu also knew Li Jing's intentions, so he waited back to Shanxi, looked for an opportunity, and transferred to his side.

At this moment, he took a step forward and said in a low voice, "The Mongolian tribes, each with their own beliefs, regard it as their life, and there are strong Mongolian soldiers in the first battalion, why don't you send them to transmit the sound in vats, insult the other side, provoke anger, and then use cold arrows to hurt people, this will make those Tartar soldiers jump on their feet, and they must catch up and fight."
