Huang Taiji led the Houjin soldiers to enter the customs and plunder five times, and the average number of troops invested each time was between 30,000 and 40,000. [No pop-ups]

You must know that as the core strength of the Houjin, the total number of serious Jurchen Eight Banners is only sixty or seventy thousand. Among them, the number of Jurchen elite soldiers between the ages of twenty and thirty will not exceed 20,000.

Specially taking out 5,000 elite Jurchen Eight Banners to fight against the Fuxing Army is already quite a face-saving experience for Huang Taiji. You must know that in 1627, in order to deal with the henchmen of the Later Jin side, the real Jurchen elite soldiers in the blue and white flags of Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang army that invaded Korea and attacked Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang army were only about 3,000.

After that, Amin, who lost more than a thousand elite people with blue flags, was easily punished by Huang Taiji.

It can be seen from here that as a very talented and far-sighted feudal ruler, Huang Taiji still takes the Fuxing Army very seriously.

Of course, if the Renaissance Army is an indigenous military force in this time and space, Huang Taiji's preparations are still quite adequate. But the question is, is the Baath Army a military force in this plane? The answer is no.

The current maximum strength of the APA is the battalion. A battalion has two companies, one company has five platoons, and one platoon has five squads. Each squad consisted of ten soldiers, and the total strength of a battalion was five hundred. Commanders are not included in the calculation.

The current First Army Corps of the Ba'ath Army is made up of twenty improvised regiments. The regiment consisted of three battalions with a total strength of 1,500 men. These twenty regiments can be formed into temporary brigades to undertake the corresponding combat missions as required by the corps headquarters. But in military training and army management in peacetime, the corps command directly headed the battalions.

Unlike the Hubei Base Area and the Ludong Base Area, the First Army Corps in Southern Liaoning, which undertook the task of military defense in the southern Liaoning Base Area, had two special arms of arms that other units did not have. Cavalry and charioteers are both types of troops that other units do not have.

Both cavalry and charioteers belong to the experimental new arms of the Baath Army. Among them, the cavalry in the first army of southern Liaoning had only one brigade and ten battalions, with a total strength of 5,000 people. Equipped with the Baath Arsenal Furcon V cavalry rifle (imitation of the Mosingana cavalry rifle) and the Revival I saber (Cossack saber).

Similarly, as an experimental branch of the Baxing Army, the charioteers had only one battalion of 500 chariots. However, each carriage was equipped with a simple light steel shield. It is equipped with special rubber wheels (imported from Hyundai Custom) and specialized shock absorption. Each carriage was equipped with four war horses. The total number of charioteers reached 2,000, nearly half of the horses of the cavalry battalion.

Just to equip the cavalry brigade and the chariot battalion with the war horses, the adult revival horses that the Baath Party had cultivated for ten years were almost exhausted.

However, in Wang Shuhui's view, the effort of these equipment is still worth it. Purely from a theoretical point of view, the current First Army Corps in southern Liaoning is not sending infantry, but with these 5,000 cavalry and 500 chariots equipped with machine guns and rocketeers, it can easily win when it encounters about 30,000 Houjin Jurchen soldiers.

Of course, Wang Shuhui, who had already received the relevant information, had no such reckless intention to reads;. He plans to verify the theory of building the cavalry of the Baxing Army and the feasibility of the kind of charged armored vehicles in this military collision with the Houjin Jurchen.

When military enthusiasts of later generations studied the combat methods of the Later Jin Jurchen, they found that the teachers of the Later Jin Jurchen were never Mongols, but the government army of the Ming Dynasty.

A researcher once wrote in an article: "Houjin is not a primitive cavalry with backward equipment at all. The founders of the Later Jin were the Jianzhou Jurchens, who had long been in contact with the Ming army in Liaodong and learned advanced combat methods and techniques, and were not primitive barbaric and backward tribes. ”

"Nurhachi grew up with Li Chengliang since he was a child, and was once the latter's guard and godson, and was once an authentic Liaodong Ming Dynasty government army."

Therefore, the combat methods of the Later Jin Dynasty were largely the combat methods of the Ming Army in Liaodong, and these methods were very advanced at that time. It is not compatible with the primitive barbarism and backwardness, and it is not a simple cavalry battle. ”

In terms of the specific combat methods of Jin Nuzhen after the needle, this researcher believes:

"In fact, when Houjin fights in the field, they all use multiple arms to fight together."

"Generally, artillery (yes, they have artillery) bombarded the Ming positions first, and then the heavy infantry pushed the chariots with shields to meet the enemy under the cover of artillery fire, and constantly cleared the obstacles set up by the Ming army in the process of advancing. After approaching a certain distance, the heavy infantry rushed out from behind the chariot and broke the formation in hand-to-hand combat. After opening a gap in the Ming army's line, the cavalry will rush along the gap. ”

"These tactics are the combat methods of the Liaodong Ming Army or the entire late Ming Army, and there is no essential difference between the two sides. Nurhachi had lived in the Ming army for a long time and was all too familiar with these tactics. So the Houjin army he established also followed these tactics. ”

"However, it is not uncommon to defeat the Ming army with primitive and backward cavalry, and Li Zicheng's peasant army has defeated the Ming government army many times with backward cavalry tactics."

After consulting relevant information, Wang Shuhui found that the researcher's conclusions were basically in line with the facts.

According to records, in the battle of the Hunhe River, the general army of the Ming army Chen Cebu (including the Zhejiang soldiers and the Sichuan army) entered the Hunhe River and encountered the main force of Nurhachi.

Seeing the Chen Ce Department of the Ming Army, Nurhachi ordered the Four Banners of the Right Wing (Right Gushan) to take the cotton armor, carry the "shield chariot" (translated as "chariot"), and "Xu Attack" (shield chariot cover, dismount and attack). The Four Banners of the Right Wing of Houjin found that the Ming army's construction of field fortifications had not yet been completed ("Qin Bangping and other battalions had not yet been completed"), and attacked without waiting for the arrival of "cotton armor soldiers" and "shield vehicles".

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not retreat from the battle, and killed one Houjin general and two guerrillas, and the number of Houjin generals killed exceeded the Battle of Ningyuan (the Battle of Ningyuan only killed Houjin generals and two guerrillas). Later Jin reinforcements continued to enter the battlefield and besieged the Ming army, the Sichuan army was defeated first, the Zhejiang army ran out of gunpowder, and the melee battle was defeated.

In this battle, Nurhachi prepared to "cover the shield car and attack it slowly", and the four banners of the right wing of Houjin did not wait for the arrival of the "shield car" to attack. Although the field fortifications of the Ming army had not yet been completed, they still caused a large number of casualties to Houjin. After the kill, the number of Jin generals surpassed the battle of Ningyuan.

That is to say, in terms of combat methods, the combat mode of the Houjin Jurchen is indeed a combat mode based on foot combat.

However, the way in which the Houjin soldiers first used artillery bombardment, then advanced with shield carts, then charged with heavy armor, and finally used cavalry to expand the results of the battle, may indeed have great lethality to the Ming government army, which was becoming less and less combative, and the peasant rebel army, which was backward in equipment and lacked training.

But if the Houjin Jurchen really used such a combat method to fight the Renaissance Army, then a looming massacre would have been determined. Space-Time Gate 1619
