Chapter 128: Counterattack I

readx;

The recent series of actions of the imperial court have put Yang Bo under great pressure, and the Changping regimental training camp is not afraid of Tang Tong's 30,000 battalions, but the Foreign Intelligence Department sent back top-secret information from the Beijing Division, saying that Wang Zhaokun and others once again wrote to the Ministry of War to transfer the military horses in Datong and Beizhili to quell the rebellion, although Zhang Fengyi and Yan Kunzhi have been suppressing, but no one can judge the consequences after a long time, especially how Emperor Chongzhen will respond after learning that Lushun frequently mobilizes the rebellion of various battalions? The regimental training battalion must not be wiped out, otherwise it will be a huge blow to the morale of the army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The main force of Lushun is trapped in Mopan City, especially after the Liaohai Sea freezes, the sailors are useless, and even the exchange of news is very difficult, in case the imperial court takes the opportunity to divide the interior of Lushun, and then gathers troops and horses to take advantage of the void, the main force can not return to help, and the foundation of Lushun, Andongwei and other foundations that he relied on may be threatened.

Now is a golden opportunity, if Huang Taiji is unwilling to fight a decisive battle, he can retreat to the Gaizhou area, stretch the supply line of the Thunder Division, and send cavalry to attack the supply line to force Lushun to withdraw his troops, if he is not willing to fight a decisive battle, he can continue to consume the Tartar elite with Mopan City, Huang Taiji can hold out for half a year, but he can hold on for a year?

In the staff headquarters, many paperwork are busy coming in and out, and these people are busy at the same time, they will also glance at the small room next to them, because the adults are also in the staff department, and they are in that small room.

Yang Bo looked at the map silently, his eyes were staring at the front line of Gaizhou, the staff was still discussing the details of the plan, according to their judgment, Tan Yinghua's troops could not quickly conquer Gaizhou, Haizhou, Shenyang This kind of strategic fortress will be a nightmare for the Thunder Division, unless it can kill and injure a large number of enemies in the decisive battle, once it escapes, Lushun's mobility ability is not enough, and the grain route will be extended indefinitely, but let Houjin get a chance to breathe, which Yang Bo does not want to see.

"Adult" Wang Xiaoyu walked in with some documents in his pocket

"Shang Kexi's troops have been stationed at Huanggudao Fort, and the Dongjiang soldiers and Jinzhou have joined forces to set up roadblocks on the middle mountain road to cut off the possibility of a Houjin raid. Once we hold back the main force of the Eight Banners, Shang Kexi's troops can quickly enter the battlefield from Fuzhou and Yongning, provided that we need to hold out for three to five days."

Yang Bo frowned and said, "Is it three days or five days?" ”

Wang Xiaoyu hesitated: "My lord, it's snowing......"

Yang Bo was still staring at the map and asked, "Where is Tan Yinghua's department now?" ”

Wang Xiaoyu said: "Tan Yinghua's troops have been stationed in Xiuyan and sent troops to control the mountain road between Gaizhou and Haizhou. According to the plan, after the decisive battle began, they pounced on Gaizhou and Haizhou to cut off the road for the main forces of the Eight Banners to retreat to the Liaozhong region"

Yang Bo shook his head: "The plan is too risky, our strength is not superior, it is unrealistic to want to eat the Eight Banners in one bite, this decisive battle is just to reverse the strategic situation of the enemy and us." Gaizhou and Haizhou are our next strongholds to threaten Shenyang, and it doesn't matter if the remnants of the Eight Banners are sent back to Shenyang, but Gaizhou and Haizhou must be taken. ”

After speaking, Yang Bo picked up the charcoal pen and drew a black arrow on the line of Gaizhou and Liaoyang, from Xiuyan. Tianshui Station drew an arrow, and then pulled a line from Phoenix City and Lianshan Pass, and the three big arrows approached Shenyang, figuratively completing the compression and encirclement of Houjin strategically.

Wang Xiaoyu thought about it, took Yang Bo's charcoal, and drew an arrow from Jinzhou, Guangning to Shenyang. Yang Bo smiled slightly, noncommittal.

"Xiao Yu, you say, if there is no Lushun for us, will Houjin go south and sweep the Ming Dynasty in the future?" Yang Bo asked.

Wang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "No." I have thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, how dare I try to get involved in my Chinese unification? ”

Yang Bo nodded and said very seriously: "Not bad." You have a lot of point. ”

Ten miles outside the Mopan City, Huang Taiji held a clairvoyant mirror to observe the defense of the city, the snowflakes fell all over the bear skin, the sky was gloomy, Huang Taiji's nose was red from the cold, but he was still full of interest.

Huang Taiji asked the guards to put away the clairvoyant mirror, and said to everyone around him: "The Ming army has no sign of evacuation, it seems that Yang Bo is also desperate, and it should be clear after the snow stops." ”

Dai Shan, who was wearing a fox skin and a bearskin hat, nodded and said: "Your Majesty will definitely be able to cut off Yang Bo's head, as soon as this person dies, the situation in southern Liaoning will be different, what Dongjiang, North Korea, and Lushun will be wiped out under my Eight Banners Iron Horse." ”

Huang Taiji was full of smiles, and after a long conversation with Dai Shan all night, Dai Shan finally stood firmly on his side, and the opposition in the Eight Banners immediately subsided,

Huang Taiji smiled and patted Dai Shan's shoulder, and said affectionately: "Second brother, when the old Khan faced Salhu, it was far more difficult than today, my Dajin is only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, under the threat of hundreds of thousands of reinforcements from the Eighth Road of the Ming Kingdom, how could I have thought that I could monopolize Liaoyang, more than 70 forts in Liaodong and surrender to the wind, this is God to help me Dajin, as long as I can kill Yang Bo, Liaodong is still the Liaodong of my Dajin, and it is the Liaodong of the second brother and me!" ”

Behind everyone, Dolgon bowed his head and said nothing, Duoduo's face was angry, Yue Tuo was faintly happy, Abatai's face was calm, and Dai Shan still had that kind and pleasant expression, and there was no special action......

That night, Huang Taiji suddenly received an urgent report, saying that the Ming army opened the north gate at night, and a team of Ming troops who did not know the number of people braved the snow to go out of the city and launched a surprise attack on the large camp and stronghold behind the earth city.

The abnormal behavior of the Ming army made Huang Taiji a little uneasy, the Ming army out of the city had several small-scale field battles with the front blue and inlaid white flags, the Ming army followed the cover of artillery and flintlock guns over the earthen wall, and advanced to the Houjin camp tent area three miles away, each Niu Lu quickly organized a counterattack after experiencing chaos, and drove the Ming army back in one breath, but when they entered the artillery range and suffered several artillery salvos, the Ming army took the opportunity to kill back, and finally these Niu Lu also learned to be obedient, and the Ming army tug-of-war in the area outside the artillery range, and the melee was slightly bright, The Ming army slowly retreated into the city, because the road was slippery, the cavalry could not be used, and the eight banners were not used at night, Huang Taiji was worried about fraud, and did not order a large-scale counterattack, but let the banners firmly hold the camp behind the earthen wall, and wait until the dawn of the day, the two sides fought for a night The loss was not large, and some siege equipment was burned by the Ming army.

After the sky was bright, the clothes who had not slept all night got up to make a fire to cook, Huang Taiji's eyes were also a little red, he couldn't be sure, since the siege of the city, the Ming army took the initiative to go out of the city for the first time to counterattack, this move made him a little vigilant, Huang Taiji originally wanted to organize a siege today to suppress the morale of the Ming army, but the sky is not beautiful, the snow is fluttering, and the time stops, causing difficulties to the attack, plus last night froze to death a lot of clothing, the siege equipment also lost a lot, and it is really reluctant to attack the city.

At this moment, a guard from the sentry ran in and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Liaohai is frozen, frozen!" ”

"What?" Huang Taiji stood up, asked a few questions in a row, and sat back excitedly after getting a definite answer.

"I'm going to see for myself!" After a moment, Huang Taiji made up his mind.

Unlike Huang Taiji's fear, Yang Bo slept beautifully, the two sides fought non-stop in Mopan City for more than two months, the longest time was three days and three nights in a row, he had already been accustomed to sleeping peacefully in a noisy environment, he sat in front of a mirror, a white towel around his neck, Xiao Wu was holding a sharp razor to trim his face, the mirror reflected the face of a middle-aged uncle with deep eye sockets and a mixed beard, Yang Bo laughed at himself and asked Xiao Wu: "How is the morale of the soldiers below?" ”

Xiao Wu smiled apologetically, carefully scraped off the hair on the back of Yang Bo's neck, pinched the blade with his fingers to wipe off the beard, and then said: "Listen to those adults who lead the soldiers, the veterans are still like that, they should eat and sleep, or they are just playing tricks on the recruits for fun, many of them who go to the battlefield for the first time are very fanatical, and some are preoccupied, and they can't sleep well all night, but the adults all say that when the instructor goes down to the company and the propaganda offensive begins, the morale will come up." ”

Yang Bo laughed and said, "When the Tartars are defeated, each soldier can get a hundred acres of land, Xiao Wu, are you tempted?" ”

Xiao Wu sharpened his razor on the linen, shook his head and said, "I still follow the adult, and the adult lowers his head." ”

When Yang Bo walked out of the general's mansion with a refreshing expression, the streets of Mopancheng were already red, and the battalion leaders began to change their guards after breakfast.

Walking to the conference room, Yang Bo casually asked, "How were the casualties last night?" ”

He Jiu, the commander-in-chief in charge of the night attack, hurriedly replied: "There are more than 200 casualties, most of which were mistakenly hit by their own artillery."

Yang Bo was a little displeased, but the coordination of the night rifle artillery was also a problem in the future generations, the casualties were so large, the commanders of each battalion would review them afterwards and formulate improvement measures, and he didn't have to ask more.

"Do you have any response from the Tartars?" Yang Bo asked again

He Jiu said uncertainly: "The weather is bad, I'm afraid the Tartars will not rush to fight back, but the vigilance has been strengthened on the frontal battlefield, and Huang Taiji's camp has also moved back half a mile." ”

Yang Bo smiled slightly: "Huang Taiji is still afraid of death, has the decisive battlefield been chosen?" ”

This sentence was said to Wang Xiaoyu, Wang Xiaoyu stood up and walked to the map, pointed to the ten miles outside the mill city with a whip and said: "This place is good, the terrain is open, we are leaning on the city in formation, and there is a Tartar earth city as a cover, suitable for camping, the road at the decisive point is muddy and slippery, the Tartar cavalry can not exert their power, if you want to eat us in one bite, Huang Taiji must invest all the infantry armor to attack, this is our only advantage." ”

The plan of the staff is to disrupt the deployment of Huang Taiji through continuous night attacks, and to make some strategic space for the decisive battle, in fact, Yang Bo thinks that there is no need to do more at all, Huang Taiji's intention to fight a decisive battle is extremely urgent, as long as he has a letter of war, Huang Taiji will definitely wait for them at the selected decisive battle location, but through the night attack to reverse the situation that has been passively beaten, it is also a kind of improvement to the morale of the soldiers below, Yang Bo did not interfere.

Yang Bo was silent, and after a while, he asked again, "What about the decisive battle time?" ”

Wang Xiaoyu exchanged a few words with the people behind him, and said affirmatively: "Ten days later!" (To be continued.)
