Chapter 417: Initiatives
As a result of the arguments between the parties, their own side has a great advantage, but the Tartars have a lot of guns and cannons that must also be taken seriously. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In terms of anti-artillery, if the village is guarded, use cloth bags to hold soil, wooden baskets to hold soil, to prevent ricochet, this is an effective practice during the battle of Julu, and everyone has no objection.
As for fighting in array in the field, in addition to the effectiveness of the artillery barracks, it is also necessary to train the sergeants to be mentally prepared for the artillery. First use empty guns, gunpowder, and slowly develop to live ammunition. Of course, it is impossible for live ammunition to enter your own military formation, and only whizz past the array, allowing the sergeant to adapt to facing the artillery.
Not only that, but they also have to start casting heavy artillery and spend a lot of money to recruit gunsmiths in various places.
When fighting with firecrackers, when attacking fortified positions, more 10,000 enemies, chariots and other weapons are used to make our side effectively protected, but the two sides shoot each other in the field······
I can only train healers and study more about the treatment of cannon wounds and guns.
After the matter was decided, a tragic atmosphere permeated the hall; with the change in war tactics, the Jingbian Army's one-sided victory advantage became a thing of the past, and the casualties that would occur from time to time in the army became a problem that everyone had to face.
Looking at everyone in the hall, Wang Dou said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the upcoming Battle of Jinzhou is a test of blood and fire faced by my Jingbian Army!" Our army will show in front of friendly troops, in front of the Tartars, what is a real strong army, what is a real gun! Let them understand how ridiculous their Dongshi guns are, they can learn some superficial things, but they can't learn what is in our bones! ”
Everyone was enthusiastic, bowed down together, and shouted: "Follow the general, the world is peaceful." The land of China, the paradise of paradise! ”
Wang Dou said: "Okay, all the generals are invited to get up." ”
He came to the sand table and looked at the land in Liaodong. The sand table and map here are quite rudimentary, but this is much more detailed than the map outside the Jingbian Army.
Wang Dou pointed to the direction of Jinzhou and said, "Obviously, Dongnu. The strategy is to encircle the point and send reinforcements, and repeat the old trick of the Daling River. The strategy of the imperial court is to break the siege of Jinzhou by the captives, and when the heavy troops are gathered, there will be a bloody battle. How am I, and how have you taught me? ”
Everyone looked at the sand table or map, and praised Qin Yi and pondered: "The strategy of the East is to encircle the point to send reinforcements, intending to go south, and my Ming Dynasty is to protect Jinzhou." If you win, we will maintain the current situation, and if you lose, the elite will be lost, and the building will collapse. The enemy's strategy advances and retreats freely, and my strategy has fallen behind. ”
Han Chao looked at Jinzhou Diyuegang: "Thief slave. Surrounded by Jinzhou on all sides, especially the land of Rufeng Mountain, it is full of thieves. This mountain is precipitous, the land of Pingchuan between the two mountains is the main road to Jinzhou, to save Jinzhou, you need to attack Rufeng Mountain first, but this place is difficult to attack, our division needs to try to avoid plundering here. ”
Wen Fangliang also agreed: "You can go west from Xingshan, turn north, cross the daughter river, Xiaoling River, follow Pingchuan, and attack the southwest of Jinzhou, avoiding the mountains in the east." ”
Gao Shiyin disagreed: "Rufeng Mountain must be taken, otherwise when our army goes straight to the southwest of Jinzhou, the Tartars can attack our army from Hanwang Mountain in the northwest of Xingshan, as well as the south and west of Rufeng Mountain in Jinzhou." The army marched in the direction of Songshan, and there was a city as a support, and Songshan and Xingshan were connected in a line, which could echo back and forth. ”
The generals had a fierce argument over the march and the attack route, and Qin Yi looked at the cities of Songshan, Xingshan, Tashan, and Ningyuan thoughtfully: "I heard that most of the grain and grass of the Hongjun Gate are gathered in the cities of Xingshan, Tashan, and Ningyuan? These cities are far apart, and the grain roads are winding, so it is necessary to prevent the captives from cutting off the grain and grass and cutting off the connection between the cities. ”
Everyone was shocked and looked at several cities on the sand table. …,
Wang Dou has been silently observing the arguments of the generals, and at this time, he secretly praised in his heart, Qin Yi's overall view is really needless to say, and he can see the problem at a glance.
Historically, Hong Chengchou vigorously stockpiled grain in Xingshan, Tashan, Ningyuan and other places, and each place had at least half a year, or even a year's worth of grain and grass for the defenders, which was where most of the grain and grass of the Ming army were.
As for how much grain is there on Beacon Hill? Twelve piles! Twelve piles of grain and grass can feed hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers for a few days? Just because of the convenience of shipping, the place is used as a transit station. Generally, as soon as the grain and grass arrived, they were all brought in—in the cities, there was not much grain and grass in Beacon Hill itself.
The defeat of the Ming army in history was not the reason for the robbery of the grain and grass in Bijia Mountain, but the fundamental mistake of Hong Chengchou's layout strategy!
Hong Chengchou deployed ninety percent of his troops in the Songshan area, and the troops left behind in Xingshan and Tashan were meager, although Hong Chengchou also arranged a defense line on the south bank of the Daughter River and between the two mountain plains in the northwest of Xingshan. But how can Huang Taiji lead a wild attack? Immediately, the connection between Songshan and Xingshan and other places was interrupted, and in the future, it was not up to Huang Taiji to choose freely?
Yes, Hong Chengchou's arrangement has its own reason, the defeat of Salhu back then was because Yang Hao was divided into joint attacks, so he was broken by the Houjin soldiers, this lesson is too profound for the Ming civil and military officials.
Therefore, Hong Chengchou did not dare to divide the troops, and hugged hundreds of thousands into a group, so that the Qing soldiers could indeed not be broken individually. But it is top-heavy, and the head and tail cannot echo, but it cuts off the contact with the rear Xingshan, Tashan, Ningyuan and other cities.
The rear is weak, and an obvious mistake is placed there, no wonder it was quickly seen by Huang Taiji: "This formation has the right to the front, but there is no defense, and it can be broken."
Counting poison is better than starving food, when Wang Dou fought the thieves, he also occupied Li Zicheng's grain mountain, and the army was in turmoil.
Therefore, after Huang Taiji cut off the connection between Songshan and Xingshan and other places, the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops in Songshan immediately became turtles in the urn, with no grain and no grass. What are the twelve piles of grain and grass in the Beacon Mountain District? There is a lot of grain and grass in Xingshan and Tashan cities.
When Qin Yi said this, everyone was shocked, and Wen Fangliang, Gao Shiyin and others did not argue. The march route was over, and everyone set their eyes on the Nanshan Mountain in the north of Xingshan and the Hanwang Mountain on the south bank of the Daughter River in the northwest.
Han Chao pointed to these places and said thoughtfully: "Before the victory, the first defeat, as long as we hold these places and keep the grain routes unblocked, at least our army will be invincible." ”
Gao Shiyin also said happily: "Yes, yes, as long as the grain and grass are not lost, if it is to defend the city or to fight in the field, my Jingbian army is not afraid of anyone!" ”
Wang Dou saw that everyone was talking freely, and said with a smile: "Indeed, as long as the grain is guaranteed, how to fight, we are very comfortable." Thieves and slaves surrounded Jinzhou with heavy troops, we don't have to go to Jinzhou, we can go straight to Songshan, make a posture of threatening Dalinghe Fort, Guangning Right Tun Guard, etc., and even go straight to the location of its Yizhou Tun Grain Stronghold. In short, they surround them, I beat mine, and I won't be led by the nose by the captives! ”
Everyone was even more excited, talking nonsense, as a general, he could fight without throwing Hong Chengchou depending on how favorable the situation was, and the operation space was very broad.
Gao Xun suddenly said: "Yizhou is a heavy land of thieves and slaves, you can make some articles!" ”
Everyone looked in the direction of Yizhou again, and even Gao Shiyin became excited, and then sighed: "Difficult! ”
Yizhou is a heavy grain storage area for the Qing soldiers, and the surrounding areas are full of heavy soldiers, and it is difficult to sneak attack their grain routes.
is Gao Shiyin, a radical, who feels a little depressed when he thinks about attacking Yizhou.
Suddenly, a voice said, "We can attack from outside the fortress!" ”
Everyone looked, but it was Wen Fangliang's uncle who praised Wen Shiyan and spoke. …,
Wang Dou was quite interested and said, "Attack from outside the fortress? Wen Zan painted in detail. ”
Wang Dou paid attention to it, and seeing everyone's attention, Wen Shiyan, who spoke for the first time on such a major occasion, was greatly invigorated.
Wen Zanhua first solemnly saluted Wang Dou, and then pointed to the large map on the wall and said: "Loyal and brave uncles, everyone, my Jingbian army has already captured Manduer and set up a number of tunbao. Nearby, there are the left and right wings of the Mongolian Tumut and other banners of the Eastern Outer Domain, as well as part of the Karaqin Division. Over the years, they have seen us like a mouse to a cat, and they are not a threat at all. ”
"Further east, there are Chahar, Korqin and other departments. Chahar, or the outer Mongolian Korqin, is counted as the Eight Banners Mongolia. Dongnu. Surrounding Jinzhou, these foreign Mongolians, and strong men all went out with the army, and the rear was inevitably empty! ”
Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Wen Zanhua's eyes, and everyone looked at the map and understood what he meant.
Wen Fangliang looked at the map on the wall and muttered, "Can the partial division outside the plug fight so far?" Outside the customs is not as good as inside the customs, there is nowhere to replenish grain and grass, and many places outside the fortress have not been surveyed, and there are many crises······ Think about it, starting from the East Road to Yizhou, Liaodong, I'm afraid there are two thousand miles, right? Tired of the expedition, Yiju is still heavily armed······"
Zhong Xiancai said softly: "Now my Jingbian Army, outside the fortress, only controls the land full of sets, and also surveys some surrounding land and moons, but when I go to Chahar and other places, I don't know much. ”
Wen Zan said: "Who said that you are going to fight Yizhou?
glanced at his nephew Wen Fangliang dissatisfied, uncle-speak, it makes no sense for nephew to fold the table.
However, Wen Fangliang is a general in the army and an ambassador of the General Staff Department, and he is just a praise painting, and in the Jingbian Army, there is no difference between relatives and fathers. Wen Fangliang's words were also open-minded, and he also showed everyone that he would not treat Wen Shiyan with a green eye just because he was his uncle.
Wen Zan also understands this.
Then he looked at the map again, and said viciously: "Those Mongolian strong men of the outer feudal domains have all gone out with the army, and the rear is empty!" Our Jingbian army can raise a division of tigers and wolves, based on a full set of beggars, sweep the surrounding Tartar tribes, and kill them all, burn them all, and rob them all where they go! Kill all the people who can move, bring back the cattle and sheep if they can bring them back, and kill them if they can't bring them back! Kill, kill, kill! Give them back the scourge they have done to the Ming Dynasty tenfold and hundredfold! Those Mongolian Tatars, when they heard about the rear, could they still fight in Jinzhou with peace of mind? Then there is an opportunity to take advantage of it! ”
He was originally dignified and elegant, but at this time, his face was distorted.
Looking at his appearance, and listening to his words again, everyone only felt a chill rushing down their backs, and even Wen Fangliang looked at Wen Tu in surprise. It's as if he's getting to know his uncle for the first time.
After saying these words, Wen Zanhua exhaled a long breath, regained his sanctimonious appearance, and said to Wang Dou: "Uncle Zhongyong, this is the strategy of the lower officials. ”
Everyone pondered, looked at the map and looked at it, and praised Qin Yi and said: "The students think it is feasible, but disturbing their rear will cause their hearts to be chaotic." The partial division swept through the surrounding Tartar tribes, and only by making a posture of advancing to Yizhou, it could put strong pressure on the enemy in Jinzhou, and our army could take advantage of a lot of opportunities. ”
Wang Dou looked at the map and nodded again and again: "Yes, for the specific details, the staff department can draw up a few plans." ”
He nodded at Wen Zanhua, Wen Shiyan was overjoyed, he finally entered the eyes of Zhongyongbo, it was not easy.
He thought about how to study the information of all parties in detail after the meeting, and draw up a few strategies, so as to win the eyes of the loyal and brave uncles and everyone.
This time the discussion lasted for a long time, and each general and each praised the coming war, repeatedly deliberated and formulated, and set various plans.
After the meeting, Wang Dou announced that this proposal was the first secret in the army, and everyone was not allowed to leak half a sentence, otherwise military law would deal with things.
Everyone replied awe-inspiringly, the military law of the Jingbian Army is not a joke.
Soon after the meeting, Wang Dou summoned the generals of the old army on the East Road. )
