Chapter 368: The Battle of Rabbit Tun (1)
The sky gradually brightened, but the rabbit tun was full of shadows and crowds, but through the dilapidated low wall, it could not be seen very clearly.
At this moment, Al Khan's army of 6,000 - 1,000 true Tartars and 5,002 Tartars had surrounded the rabbit tun to the ground.
Al Khan is also an old general, and the current situation also makes him a little unpredictable. He stood in front of the formation and looked at Tuertun, but he couldn't see any specific situation except that he knew that there were Ming troops inside.
However, Al Khan is almost certain that the number of this Ming army will not be less than three thousand!
In front of Al Khan, Sorendo naturally regarded himself as a "minion", just as he did in front of Dolgon - anyone with a higher position than himself was closer than his own father, and only in this way could he be promoted and rich.
Sorendo stood beside Ao Erhan and said with a sneer: "Lord Zhang Jing, the slave said a long time ago that the words of the Han dog cannot be trusted!" They reported that the Ming army of Jinzhouwei had been killed, so where did the rout of these thousands come from? Could it be that he is a heavenly soldier?! β
Ao Erhan looked coldly in the direction of Rabbit Tun and did not speak. Obviously, Sorendo is right, Liaonan has all been owned by the Dajin Kingdom, and there is no foothold for even one city in the Ming Kingdom, where did these Ming troops come from? There is only one explanation, and that is the previous battle of Jinzhouwei, where the Han army banner only "routed" the enemy, not the "annihilation" as they reported!
Nima, do you want Lao Tzu to wipe the ass of the Han Army Banner?!
Al Khan spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and turned his head to look at Li Daming beside Sorendo, his eyes like knives. made Li Daming shudder......
Li Daming has been in the army for more than ten years, and for the first time, he actually felt that the "second Tartar" was not so easy to be. How can we explain it now?
Previously, the total strength of the Ming army on the Jinzhou Acropolis was not 5,000 people, and those who had already died surrendered surrendered. Where did this "routed army" of more than 3,000 come from?
Li Daming stiffened, took two steps forward, and knelt down with a plop: "The last general, ah, no-the slave doesn't know!" Lord Zhang Jing, isn't this group of Ming soldiers the people of Zu Dashou's dog thief? β
The closest to southern Liaoning on land is naturally Guangningwei, the front line of the Mingjin war, so Li Daming has this saying.
Ao Erhan snorted coldly and said categorically: "The Great Khan went out to conquer the Ming Kingdom. Quang Ninh Wei is the most closely surveilled. That ancestor Dashou turtle shrank in Jinzhou City, and he didn't dare to move his nest at all! β
As soon as these words landed, cold sweat broke out on Li Daming's head, and he didn't dare to answer.
Ao Erhan also didn't pay attention to Li Daming, and only said lightly, and decided Li Daming's life and death: "The first attack is up to you!" β
Of course, Li Daming didn't know what kind of "Ming army" he would face, he thought that the rabbit tunzhong was just some rout, so he replied loudly: "The slave takes the order!" β
To tell the truth, in the past, the Han army used to be cannon fodder in front of the banner of the Han army -- especially the fortified cities of Jinzhou and Ningyuan. The first batch used to fill the lives of the Hongyi cannon has always been the Han Chinese, and then the Mongols, and the Jurchen "warriors" must have entered when the war was stalemate, and they were determined in one fell swoop.
This is not unusual. So Li Daming didn't feel any unhappiness. It can be seen that cannon fodder has been used for a long time, and there is also a kind of inertial thinking, as if it is natural for the Han military flag to be "cannon fodder......
Meanwhile. The 4,000 regiments of mountain troops in the rabbit tun are all gearing up. Preparations for battle have been completed.
The low wall is not enough to rely on, and once it is really fought. These broken walls are estimated to collapse after a few shots, and when the time comes, they will definitely smash and kill the soldiers of the Tuanshan Army -- after all, this is just a tunzi, not a fortified city, and there is no way to defend the city at all.
Therefore, Zhang Li decided to go out of the cantonment to fight in formation.
At this moment, Gao Yuanliang, Izawa, Mutou, and Wanji were all standing beside Zhang Li, waiting for his order.
Zhang Li had observed for a long time before, these 5,000 enemy troops did not bring cannons, presumably they thought that to destroy some of the defeated troops, there was no need to bring the cumbersome Fran cannons of Jinzhou Wei and Fuzhou Wei.
Even, Zhang Zhang also found that the enemy's cavalry was less than a hundred, and they were just scouts.
This is a little puzzling, isn't Kangxi Xiao Mazi claiming that the Jurchens "will win the world immediately"? But it only took a short thought to understand the tension.
It must have been the 150,000-strong army of Huangtaiji that needed a large number of horses to conquer the Ming Dynasty - not all because of the war, but probably because of the gold and silver treasures that were carried by the horses! This Liaonan is the rear of the Jin Kingdom, and it should be that the horses have been transferred.
Alas, Da Ming is really sad enough, people have to bring hundreds of thousands of horses to transport things once......
Now the enemy is almost all infantry, but Zhang Li does not dare to be careless at all, because the real "strong soldiers" of the Houjin State have never been cavalry, but heavy infantry.
When he was pondering the enemy's situation, Gao Yuanliang spoke: "My lord, the enemy is mainly infantry, and the trench we dug earlier is useless......
Before the arrival of the Jiannu army yesterday, Zhang Zhang ordered a trench to be dug to the east of Tu'ertun, that is, in the direction of the Jiannu attack, about three feet wide and six feet deep.
Izawa was also a little puzzled, and whispered: "My lord, the last general yesterday originally wanted to say that the width of this trench is too narrow, and the enemy's cavalry can't stop it at all when they jump over!" Now that the enemy has no cavalry, that's fine. β
Wan Zhi said with a straight face: "Lao Yi, as long as you are smart, how can adults not know?" You didn't see that the trenches were covered with a layer of weeds, which must have been used to catch the enemy cavalry off guard and stumbleβ"
Izawa said stupidly: "Well, that's right, at least the first wave of the enemy's cavalry charge will suffer a big loss." β
Wan Zhi nodded and said, "Time is pressing, and we can't dig a wide trench, and it would be good to be able to stop the first group of cavalry charges from Jiannu - but since the enemy doesn't have any cavalry, it won't be needed." β
Zhang Li listened to the discussion of his subordinates with interest, smiled slightly, but did not participate in it.
Since the Tuanshan Army is trained separately, the infantry team trains the infantry, the cavalry team trains the cavalry, and the musket team naturally trains the musketeers, so Izawa and Wanji don't know, but Mu knows it!
Those trenches are not for horses at all!
The current standard equipment of the musket team, in addition to the musket projectile gunpowder, each person also carries a small shovel on his back.
That's right, this trench that can accommodate two people walking side by side is called "trench" by Lord Zhang.
It was used by the musketeers to hold their positions while they were hiding.
"Woo woo woo-" A palpitating horn sounded, and not far away, the Houjin army began to move!
"Out of the battle! βββ
The tension shouted categorically, and all the thousands of presidents immediately responded loudly: "Obey the order-" (To be continued.) )
