Chapter 177: Battle of Tongguan 4
"Lord Wang, the losses of personnel have been clarified, in this night attack, our military industry suffered two hundred and thirteen casualties, except for more than ten people who were slightly injured, the more than seventy people who survived may not be able to fight in the future." Just when Tongguan City was busy strengthening its defense, racking its brains to think about how to take the moat back, the big tent of the Manchu army camp outside the city was full of slaughter.
More than 3,000 people were killed and wounded more than 200 people, logically speaking, it is not too much, as for why there are fewer minor injuries, and more people killed in battle and seriously injured, this should be classified as the protection of the Manchurians is really good, not to mention anything else, every Manchu soldier, if you go into battle, at least you will wear two to three layers of armor, and the outermost layer is cotton armor, that is, after pressing silk and other materials into porcelain, put steel sheets in the middle, this kind of cotton armor is not only lightweight, but also very good protection, most suitable for light cavalry like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and inside the cotton armor, Manchurian soldiers will also put on a layer of leather armor, and some generals with higher positions will even put on a layer of iron armor on the outside, such a strict protection, it is indeed very difficult to be injured on the battlefield, but if it is really injured, then it will definitely not be a minor injury, which is why in this battle, only more than ten people in the Manchurian Society were slightly injured.
Hearing the casualty figure reported by Sukhshaha, all the Manchu generals present suddenly had a bulge in their hearts, the world knows that the Manchurian combat power is unparalleled, one person can be ten people, and a hundred people can use it, this is the proudest point of all Manchus, but this is also the most helpless point, that is, their number is too small, from Nurhachi to the present, although they have tried their best to promote the Manchu people's fertility, but up to now, the Manchu people who can really fight are less than 100,000 people, and the reason why every Manchu soldier is so strong, The reason is that there are few of them. The resources that can be obtained are abundant, and if they are like the Han people, tens of thousands of memorizations, I am afraid that everyone will not be so powerful.
It is precisely because of the small number of people that they are congenitally restricted, so they have to recruit the Mongolian Eight Banners. The Eight Banners of the Han people, and the casualties of more than 200 people today are not Mongols or Han Chinese, but real Manchu soldiers, thinking that more than 200 people died before the war officially began. How would Dodor be angry.
"Doltai, tell me, why did you lead the troops to battle without authorization, you had better be honest, otherwise, even you Ama will not be able to save you." Sukeshaha's reward really made Duoduo's heart bleed, and he was careful when he thought that he had always led his troops. But after so many years of fame, it was ruined by such a kid. He couldn't wait to cut this Doltai directly, but after thinking of Doltai's Amma, Duoduo could only hold back his anger and ask.
Hearing Dord's question, Dortai's brain was also dizzy, and he couldn't think of it. Everything was fine before going to bed yesterday, why did the world change greatly when I woke up, and I don't know why I slept so well. His subordinates will be so dizzy to rush to Tongguan City, began to attack the city, although later, he also blocked it in time, but it was too late, the battle had begun, in desperation, he had to follow everyone to fight in a daze, knowing now, I don't understand.
"Back to the words of the prince, my subordinates don't know why this is, but when I woke up, I saw that everyone was attacking Tongguan, and I thought it was the prince's order, so I rushed up to fight." Doltai, who didn't know anything, had no choice but to tell the truth.
Unexpectedly, Doltai's truth was lively, but a few people next to him were lively, "Doltai, you bastard, you still said you don't know, in the morning, if Lao Tzu hadn't seen you riding your white horse rushing up, how could Lao Tzu rush up with his brothers to attack the city without asking clearly, you make it clear to Lao Tzu, otherwise, Lao Tzu will pull the coffins of the dead dozens of brothers and go to your house to block the door." "The first to speak is Haxbele, this is also a child of a big family, the identity is no worse than Doltai, usually when he is fine, he likes to drink and have fun with Doltai and others, this time it is precisely for this reason that after seeing the white horse go out and run out, he thought that Doltai began to attack the city, and he took his men to attack the city together.
With Hax taking the lead, the other Niu Lu Ezhen, who had sent troops in the morning, all got up and roared angrily, and for a while, Doltai, who was kneeling in the center of the big tent, suddenly became the target of the public and became the target of the army's crusade.
"Enough, it's enough, it's too embarrassing in the morning to lose enough, isn't it, shut up to this king." Seeing the noisy tent, Duoduo suddenly slapped the case and shouted loudly.
The prestige of leading the troops for many years, coupled with Duoduo's anger, a loud roar completely suppressed the noise in the account, and in an instant, everyone who crusaded against Dortai lowered their heads and did not say a word.
"Doltai, but you heard everyone's words just now, you said that you don't know, the white horse is always yours, why did your white horse run to Tongguan City, you should know it!" Dodor asked.
What made Duoduo even more angry was that when he heard Duoduo's question, Dortai kept shaking his head and said, "Lord Wang, that white horse is a subordinate, but why did he run to Tongguan City in the middle of the night, this subordinate doesn't know, his subordinates slept very early yesterday, and these things are handed over to his subordinates to do." ”
As soon as Dortai finished speaking, Duoduo was also dumbfounded, he originally thought that this was Dortai's crazy move, but he didn't expect that things were not like this, in desperation, he glanced at Sukhshaha on the side, and then Sukhshaha went out, and after a while, he saw Sukhshaha walk in again, but with a strange smile on his face.
It turned out that Sukhshah went outside this time and asked about the Goshha of Doltai, and those Goshha pushed out Zaku, and it was incredible that in that splendid situation, more than 200 of the battle-hardened warriors died, and Zaku did not even lose a single hair, but came back smoothly with the white horse, but the terrifying scene of 10,000 arrows and cannon roaring in the battlefield scared him enough.
When Duoduo listened to Sukeshaha's words, a strange expression also leaked on his face, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, although the Manchurian army lost more than 200 people in this battle, but the effect was very huge, not only filled the moat, but even almost broke the Tongguan gate, if it wasn't for the last blow, if the success fell short, Duoduo even had to reward Zaku, but what made Duoduo helpless was that this kind of thing couldn't be said clearly, otherwise not only would Dortai be embarrassed, but even he would have no face to see, In the end, he had to beat Doltai with forty horsewhips to compensate the soldiers who were killed and wounded in battle, and it ended hastily, and Doltai, who was beaten by forty horsewhips so that he couldn't get out of bed, had to do this afterwards because Zakudu had him beaten half to death, locked up in the stable, and left him to fend for himself.
After this incident, the next ten days, under the city of Tongguan, the war continued, although there was no big battle between the two sides, but the two sides for the moat to fight, but each resorted to various means, but this time the attack and defense was completely changed, the Manchu army became the defender, and the Ming army in the city became the attacking side, one side is a long-known veteran of the battlefield, the other side is the first out of the mountains and forests down the mountain tiger, for a time, the two sides of the battle situation is brilliant, of course, as a novice on the battlefield, the Ming army side is still a little disadvantaged, Even if they used grenades, it was only at the beginning that the Manchu army panicked, and then, with years of experience in warfare, they stubbornly withstood the attack of the Ming army.
Although the casualties were quite large, the combat experience of the Ming army was constantly improving, and Shi Lei also discovered this, so he did not expand the war, but took this opportunity to use this as a battlefield to train new soldiers, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because Duoduo had been waiting for the arrival of the red-coated cannon, so he also controlled the scale of the war, as for what he thought, outsiders do not know.
On this day, Tongguan City actually rarely did not fight, both sides after more than ten days of fighting, it seems that they are also feeling a little tired, when Duoduo sat in the big tent looking at the map, thinking about something, suddenly a Goshha broke into the big tent and said, "Lord Qi, Huaishun King Geng Zhongming has escorted two hundred red-clothed cannons to the outside of the barracks. ”
Hearing Goshha's proclamation, Duoduo's face was happy, for a period of time, through repeated battles with the Ming army, he found that the Ming army in this Tongguan is not the same as the Ming army he usually meets, although the combat experience is insufficient, but it is very fierce and not afraid of death, if it is just this, then there is nothing terrible, not afraid of death army, he has seen a lot, but those people are some murderers who can only be brave, but the Ming army in Tongguan is not only brave, but also disciplined, very united, He had watched the battle from a distance many times, and he found that these Ming troops were very obedient on the battlefield, focusing on teamwork, and they did what they did when their superiors gave orders, even if they were cut into flesh and blood for this, they did not change, and the most important thing was that this Ming army did not have any fear of them like other armies, but was elated every time they fought, as if they had gained great benefits.
Brave, united, arrogant, the more contacted, the more cold Duoduo felt in his heart, and even sometimes he doubted that if this team was allowed to grow, what kind of harm would it cause to the Manchu Eight Banners army, for this reason, Duoduo tried every means to curb the growth of this army, so as to avoid the harm it would give to the Manchu leadership in the future, but after thinking about it, Duoduo only thought of one way, that is, the heavy army has not yet grown, and eliminate them in advance, only this, In order to avoid the hidden dangers that may be brought in the future, and if you want to eliminate them, you can only break the Tong Pass first, and if you want to break the Tong Pass, you can rely on these two hundred powerful red-coated cannons.
