In fact, Dolgon did not know that Zhang Feng's musket had developed to the third generation, the first generation was a front-loading smoothbore musket, which was now mainly equipped with the Korean Legion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The second generation of muskets is a front-loading rifled gun, and compared with the first generation musket, the biggest difference is that the barrel is rifled, which makes it farther, more accurate, and more powerful. This kind of gun, partly still in use, partly equipped with Xu Liangyi's fleet.

The third generation of muskets is a rear-loading gun, which is naturally also a rifled gun, using copper-shelled shells, which is a qualitative leap compared to the previous two generations of muskets.

Although Dolgon had several musket battalions and tasted the sweetness in front of the Dashun army, Dolgon did not know that Zhang Feng had developed to the third generation of muskets, and this musket had been installed in large numbers in the army, and so far, more than 100,000 have been produced.

Dolgon also thought that Zhang Feng was using the first generation of muskets, thinking that it was still the kind of front-loading smoothbore flintlock pistol, and what Dolgon wanted to build the most was this kind of musket, but unfortunately, the group of people under Dolgon couldn't build it, and they didn't have to think about it within three months, even if it took six months, it was estimated that it was an unknown.

The 11th Infantry Division was stationed.

Shi Kefa, who has been in office for several days, is inspecting the training of the soldiers, and he is still looking at the shooting training of the soldiers, and the soldiers of several infantry companies are conducting target shooting training at the shooting range in the company unit.

With the deepening of his understanding of the new army, Shi Kefa has become more and more fond of this new army, and he has completely entered the role, and sometimes, when the interest comes, Shi Kefa also goes to shoot a few shots in person.

"Here comes the Commander-in-Chief." Seeing Zhang Feng, Shi Kefa hurriedly greeted him happily.

Shi Kefa's "new official took office", Zhang Feng naturally wanted to come over to take a look, stand on a platform for Shi Kefa, and let everyone know that Zhang Feng valued Shi Kefa, so that Shi Kefa could control the 11th Infantry Division better and faster.

Of course, Zhang Feng's main purpose was to come and see the training of the 11th Infantry Division, because this was a newly formed division, and the number of recruits was more than that of veterans.

After looking at it, Zhang Feng was generally satisfied, and the only fly in the ointment was that the number of rear-loading muskets was insufficient, and the gap reached about thousands.

"Commander-in-chief, when will our weapons and equipment be in place, and the soldiers are waiting for their guns." Shi Kefa asked Zhang Feng for a musket.

Zhang Feng said: "At most, two months, everyone will complete the redress, and everyone will have a rear-loading musket." ”

In fact, what Shi Kefa wanted to know most was when he would go to the battlefield, and he couldn't help asking: "Commander-in-chief, we hurry up to train every day, just to want to go to the battlefield earlier, I don't know when we can go to the battlefield to kill the Tartars?" ”

Zhang Feng thought for a while and said: "Everyone wait a little longer, now the Dashun army and the Tartars are fighting in the north of the Tartars, and we are not suitable to participate in it, and when they are almost done, it is our turn to go up." ”

Zhang Feng estimated that according to the current situation, if the Tartars want to completely defeat Li Zicheng's Dashun army, it will take at least two or three months, and after two or three months, the training of their troops will be similar, and the weapons and equipment will all be in place.

Shi Kefa also knew that it was not suitable to participate in the war now, so he nodded and thought to himself, the top priority is to pay attention to training, training, training, and training.

Recently, Zhang Feng went to the stations of various divisions, watched everyone's training, learned first-hand information, and knew everything in his heart.

Another month later.

When the time entered November, the weather in the north gradually became cold, and the situation of the Dashun army gradually became difficult, and after several defeats in succession, hundreds of thousands of Dashun troops began to retreat westward.

The Tartars and the Dashun army fought fiercely in the area of the capital for two or three months, and finally ended in the victory of the Tartars, and Li Zicheng began to fight and retreat. These two or three months also won valuable time for Zhang Feng's development.

During this period of time, the divisions were almost well trained, and many infantry divisions were redressed, such as the 1st Independent Division stationed in Tianjin, and the 2nd Independent Division was the first to complete the redress.

The troops were expanded, and the independent division stationed in Tianjin Wei was divided into two divisions, which were the first and second independent divisions, and the Tianjin Wei Command was established, and the former independent division commander Zong Dechao served as the commander of the Tianjin Command and the commander of the independent first division.

Time into the twelfth lunar month, and it will not be long before the Lunar New Year, many people think that there should be no war this year, but in fact, the war in the Tianjin Wei area is about to break out.

Zhang Feng came in person, and heard that the Tartars began to gather heavy troops, and there were signs of attacking Tianjin Wei, so Zhang Feng personally came to Tianjin Wei.

If you want to fight, Zhang Feng is not afraid!

In the Tianjin Wei Headquarters, Zong Dechao pointed to the map and was reporting the situation to Zhang Feng, "Commander-in-chief, there is no Dashun army in the entire capital area, until Baoding, they are retreating westward, and it is estimated that they plan to return to Shaanxi." ”

Zhang Feng nodded, in history, Li Zicheng or failure was in the hands of the Tartars, that is, he first retreated to Xi'an, and then he couldn't even stay in Xi'an, and finally left Xi'an to flee south, and finally died in Tongshan County, Hubei.

"Commander-in-chief, according to our reconnaissance, the Tartar soldiers are divided into two routes, most of them go west to pursue the Dashun army, and the other part, in addition to garrisoning the capital, began to hoard with Langfang as the center, the purpose is obvious, that is, to attack our Tianjin Wei."

Zhang Feng smiled coldly, thinking in his heart, his Dolgon's appetite was too great, and he actually wanted to free up his forces to fight Tianjin Wei while dealing with the Dashun army, and he would not shoot to death.

Zhang Feng asked, "How many troops have the Tartars hoarded in the Langfang area?" ”

Zong Dechao said: "Commander-in-chief, according to our investigation, the Tartars have hoarded at least 70,000 or 80,000 people in the Langfang area, and there are even more people in the capital area, estimated to exceed 100,000 people. ”

There are 70,000 or 80,000 in Langfang and more than 100,000 in the capital, and the total number of Tartars in these two places is nearly 200,000, which is about five times the total number of Zhang Feng in the Tianjin Wei area, and the number of people is very different.

The total number of Tartars in these two places is nearly 200,000, and the number of Tartars who pursued the Dashun army to the west is even greater, and the Tartars have so many people, mainly because they have incorporated a large number of surrendered troops.

Such as the generals Tang Tong and Bai Guangen, etc., plus the Mongolian Eight Banners, the Han Army Eight Banners, the total strength of the Tartars is unprecedentedly strong. No wonder Dolgon was full of confidence, and it turned out that he had plenty of troops. On the one hand, he sent troops to continue to pursue the Dashun army, which had been routed to the west, and on the other hand, he freed up his forces to prepare to attack Tianjin Wei.

After listening to Zong Dechao's introduction to the situation, Zhang Feng said: "Commander Zong, how do you think this battle should be fought?" ”

Zong Dechao said: "Commander-in-chief, in view of the disparity in the number of enemies and us, I suggest adopting the strategy of luring the enemy to go deep to attract the Tartars to go deeper, especially the musket battalion and artillery battalion of the Tartars. ”

Zhang Feng nodded and agreed: "Then we will adopt the strategy of luring the enemy into the depths, and first destroy the musket battalion and artillery battalion of the Tartars." ”

Of course, the Tartars are not only musket battalions and artillery battalions, but also a large number of cavalry, a large number of infantry, archers, heavy armor and many other troops, but for everyone, the greatest threat should be the musket battalions and artillery battalions of the Tartars, especially the artillery battalions.

………

Langfang.

After full preparation, Dolgon actually came here secretly in person, this time, Dolgon was ready to personally sit in command, this time, Dolgon wanted to take revenge, to completely defeat Zhang Feng, and take Tianjin Wei.

On the outskirts of Langfang, one by one the red-coated cannons are neatly ready to go, this is the Tartar artillery battalion, equipped with dozens of red-coated cannons, with the in-depth understanding of firearms, not only Dolgon, many Tartar generals know that the red-coated cannon is the nemesis of the musketeers.

"Master, look."

Standing on the wall of Langfang, condescending, looking into the distance, one of the Tartar generals was referring to the artillery battalion not far away.

Dolgon nodded in satisfaction, and under Dolgon's vigorous promotion and development, the Tartars not only developed several musket battalions, but also formed a number of artillery battalions, equipped with a large number of redcoat cannons.

Dolgon waved his hand and said, "Set off early tomorrow morning, the target is Tianjin Wei!" ”

Standing on the city wall, looking at the direction of Tianjin Wei, Dolgon couldn't help but think of the previous battle with Zhang Feng in his mind, thinking of these, Dolgon thought fiercely, this time, he must win, he must completely defeat Zhang Feng.

The next day.

Along the official road leading to Tianjin Wei, the Tartars began to set off from Langfang, the vanguard was a surrender army, which became the Tartar army after being incorporated by the Tartars, of course, in the eyes of the Tartars, such a surrender army has no status, mainly used as the vanguard force, that is, it is generally used as cannon fodder.

This cannon fodder unit was not small in number, several thousand, and this cannon fodder unit was followed by two musket battalions of the Tartars, then two artillery battalions, and finally the cavalry units of the Tartars. The procession was very large, stretching for tens of miles.

With such a big movement of the Tartars, Zhang Feng naturally knew about it for the first time, and Zhang Feng immediately arranged his troops and began a series of arrangements.

It is still dozens of miles away from Tianjin Wei, there is a market town next to the official road, not far from the suburbs of the market town, here is the station of a certain regiment of the 1st Independent Division, there is a military camp, there are 1,000 soldiers.

When the great battle came, the soldiers of this regiment also took action, holding muskets, and waited for the enemy here, just three or five miles in front of the market town, in the open space on both sides of the official road, and the soldiers were waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

The terrain here is open and flat, and the soldiers stand in order, in companies and battalions, in very neat rows, one by one with muskets facing forward.

"Here, Captain, they're coming!"

A reconnaissance cavalryman, at least rushed over, shouted loudly, and the colonel in charge of the command said: "Prepare for battle!" ”

The first row of soldiers, two steps forward, with muskets in front of them, was divided into three rows and fired in three sections, each platoon was full of hundreds of people, and there were hundreds of muskets.
