Chapter 970: Extraordinary Battle (4)
An hour has passed, the battle situation is still stalemate, the combat effectiveness of the Han Eight Banners is indeed good, these sergeants, a large part of them are drawn from the Manchu Eight Banners, almost all the sergeants are Han people in Liaodong, the difference between living habits and the Manchus is not very big, Fan Wencheng once suggested that the Han army should be absorbed as little as possible to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Han Eight Banners, which is very reasonable, and Fan Wencheng knows that the living habits of the Manchus and the Han people are not the same, and the performance of combat effectiveness is different, so in the process of fighting, the Han Eight Banners played a key role, although it is said that there were not many sergeants in the Han Eight Banners.
Su Tiancheng, who has been observing the battle situation, has undoubtedly noticed this, not only Su Tiancheng, but also Hong Chengchou, Qin Liangyu, Qu Qingze and others have noticed this. Hong Chengchou put forward a suggestion more than once, let the long-awaited Datong border army into the battle, reverse the stalemate situation, as long as 10,000 Datong border troops participate in the fight, the army will soon be able to occupy the advantage, Qin Liangyu also agreed with Hong Chengchou's suggestion.
Su Tiancheng did not express his position for the time being, the fighting on the battlefield mainly depends on the momentum of both sides, judging from the current situation, although the two sides suffered heavy casualties, but the momentum is almost the same, the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe sergeants led by Tong Cha are not bad in combat effectiveness, and the victory of the extermination of the Chahar tribe has greatly encouraged their fighting spirit, on the other hand, the sergeants of the Horqin tribe have no signs of defeat, that is because they have sufficient backup, and their hearts are confident.
Dai Shan was a little unbearable, he was very familiar with the army of the Mongolian tribe, and had fought with the sergeants of the Mongolian tribe many times. The fighting between the Mongol tribes was very cruel, and the losing side meant losing everything, the territory, the wealth and the women, nothing, and it was exactly like this. The battle is particularly cruel, and there is no need for too much supervision, and the sergeants will be desperate.
The strength of the Xibe tribe and the Dauria tribe was beyond Dai Shan's expectations, and it should be said that the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, including the Han army, had a certain psychological advantage when facing the army of the steppe tribes, because they had defeated the army of the Mongolian tribe. But such an advantage, in this battle, did not fully manifest itself, the two sides invested about the same number of troops, an hour of time, the fight is still continuing, there is no distinction between victory and defeat, but there is a difference. Dealing with the sergeants of the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion did not move. On his side, he sent 10,000 soldiers of the Eight Han Banners and the Han army, and from the stalemate of the battle, Su Tiancheng took the initiative.
Hauge couldn't hold it anymore, thinking that the soldiers with the blue flag and the red flag must be thrown into battle and fighting. As long as the sergeants of the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe can be completely defeated in the shortest possible time, even if the Jiangning battalion is engaged in battle, it may not be able to reverse the decline, at this time. Opportunities need to be seized.
Dai Shan gradually began to hesitate, whether to send a large army to join the war group, how many people should be sent, the army is completely pressed up, definitely not, the Jiangning battalion is eyeing on the side, once he has all the blockages, the Jiangning battalion will also go into battle, at that time, who wins and who loses, it is unpredictable.
Haoge's continuous urging made Dai Shan a little upset, he looked at Fan Wencheng beside him, although he didn't speak, but he also wanted to listen to Fan Wencheng's opinion.
Of course, Fan Wencheng understood what he meant.
Haoge urged on the side, Fan Wencheng also felt that there was some trouble, the army was all pressed up, it must be unrealistic, I am afraid that when the army began to charge, the Jiangning battalion was also ready to charge, even if it was to be reinforced, it was necessary to send soldiers to reinforce step by step, so that it could grasp the initiative, even if the battle situation was unfavorable, it could be quickly retreated, but the army was all pressed up, and it was not so simple to think about retreating.
Fan Wencheng will not say anything against it, at this time, his words and deeds are for Haoge, Haoge is basically the future emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and he wants to be interesting and lay the foundation for the future.
"Prince Li, the slave thinks that Prince Yu's suggestion is quite reasonable, send a part of the army to reinforce, and suppress the arrogance of the sergeants of the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe as quickly as possible.
Dai Shan nodded, Fan Wencheng's suggestion was basically in line with his thoughts, at this time, it was necessary to send soldiers to reinforce, as for the Jiangning battalion to have no reinforcements for the time being, the problem was not very big, the initiative to attack or retreat was still in his hands, as long as this was guaranteed, there would not be much of a problem.
Just as Kozen was preparing to issue an order for reinforcements, there was a change in the battlefield input.
The drumming of the Ming army suddenly became dense, and a torrent rushed towards the direction of the battlefield.
Dai Shan's body shook slightly, he didn't expect that the Ming army would actually start reinforcements first, and they were in front, could it be that Su Tiancheng knew what he was thinking. Since the Ming army began to reinforce, the soldiers with the blue flag and the red flag will definitely not be able to stand idly by, and if the army collapses, even if all the soldiers with the blue flag and the red flag are pressed, they may not be able to turn the tide of the war.
Whether to send soldiers with red flags, or send soldiers with blue flags, this is also what Dai Shan needs to think about in advance, before the red flag was annihilated by the Jiangning battalion, Dai Shan did not have so many concerns, whether it was the blue flag or the red flag, it was the army of the Great Qing Kingdom, and they had to obey the unified dispatch of Huang Taiji, the warriors of the Great Qing Dynasty, there were not so many crooked intestines, but after experiencing setbacks, the situation he saw after returning to Shenyang made Dai Shan have to think about it.
Huang Taiji's body is not very good, you need to take into account the problem of succession, as the emperor in the Qing Dynasty, it is very critical to control the number of troops, at present, the best successor is Haoge, although in Dai Shan's heart, I think that Dolgon is probably stronger than Haoge, if Haoge led the Blue Banner soldiers, suffered a huge blow, the strength was greatly weakened, for Haoge who may inherit the throne, it is a fatal blow.
Thanks to Huang Taiji's care, Dai Shan has become the most staunch supporter of Huang Taiji.
Thinking of this, Dai Shan did not hesitate, and decisively sent 10,000 soldiers with red flags to the battle.
Haoge beside him was about to lose his temper, and after waiting for a long time, he finally let the army reinforce him, but Daishan sent 10,000 soldiers with red flags, what does this mean, is it looking down on the soldiers of the blue flag.
Fan Wencheng hurriedly turned Hagra aside and spoke in a low voice.
"Prince Yu, Prince Li is taking care of you, don't think about it, Prince Li is a soldier who avoids the Blue Flag, and in the fight, he has suffered losses."
"There is a loss in fighting, how can you preserve your strength, when did you think about preserving your strength, my warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom."
If it weren't for Haoge's identity, Fan Wencheng would have been eager to slap Haoge, such a simple truth would not be able to understand, if he became the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom in the future, wouldn't he be fooled by the civil and military ministers below, and it was no wonder that Huang Taiji was always worried, and Haoge didn't know how strong Dolgon and Duoduo were.
"Prince Yu, Prince Li is really good for you, the slave can swear, Prince Li's consideration is very thorough, you must not have other ideas."
Haoge was still a little unconvinced, he was actually ready, he was thinking of leading the army to charge for reinforcements, and Daishan sent soldiers with red flags, so it was not good for him to lead the army to charge.
Seeing that Hauge's face was not very good, Fan Wencheng simply made his words clear.
"Prince Yu, in the mind of Prince Li, you are already the future emperor of the Qing Kingdom, in such a dangerous situation, how can you take risks, the emperor asked Prince Li to be the commander, I am afraid it is also a consideration in this regard."
The latter words, Fan Wencheng will not say, Huang Taiji asked Dai Shan to be the commander, the battle failed, Dai Shan took responsibility, it has nothing to do with Haoge, the battle is won, and he can't run away from Haoge's credit, not to mention this grassland expedition, Haoge has already made a lot of contributions, destroying the stations of the Xibe tribe and the Dauria tribe, and capturing the artillery that the Qing Dynasty and Huang Taiji dreamed of, with these merits, they can hold their heads high.
Hauge quickly understood what Fan Wencheng meant.
I have to say that when it comes to the actual interests of the Great Qing Dynasty, Haoge does not have those strange ideas, whether it is a blue flag or a red flag, it is the army of the Great Qing State, all for the Great Qing State to be able to win the conquest, and other Manchu nobles of the Great Qing State do not have too many ideas in this kind of thing, everything is for the Great Qing State, and it is precisely because of the unity and unity of the Great Qing State that it can rise in a short period of time.
Hauge finally stopped talking, though he was still unhappy in his heart.
Fan Wencheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and I don't know whether Lu Dao is happy or worried, what can be strong for the Qing Dynasty, the reason for this, Fan Wencheng is roughly clear, there is no infighting, unity at the critical moment, this is the most important thing, judging from the current situation, whether such a fine style can be maintained, this is something that no one can say, with the decline of Huang Taiji's body, I am afraid that more problems will come out.
There are many reasons for the rapid decline of the Ming Dynasty, but one of the main reasons is that the ministers of civil and military affairs think of themselves all the time for their own interests, regardless of the interests of the country, and there are countless calculations and frames between each other.
