561 The key to the war
Even the commander of the Ming army, Chen Qiyu, the governor of the three sides, understood that the big iron bucket turned out to be the thundering cannon, and he understood that the general trend had gone.
He would not be so naΓ―ve as to think that his men were disciplined and had an iron will, and could use his flesh and blood to stop the Heavenly Army until the siege was completed.
Therefore, his first reaction was to pull the reins, slap the horse and run away, and the guards on the side naturally caught up.
Therefore, Hu Guang was at the head of Yulin City, and he could clearly see through the telescope that on the position of the Chinese army of the Ming army, the long soldiers and soldiers who had finally formed a tight formation and their commander collapsed almost at the same time. It is like a building made of sand, which is washed away by water.
And at this time, the cavalry called the Heavenly Army had completed the circle, increased the speed of the horse, and rushed straight to the middle army of the Ming army, before that, a conscienceless cannon was fired, and with a loud "boom", it fell on the open space in front of the Ming army's position.
This sound was like a needle in the buttocks of the Ming soldiers, stabbing them like cats with their tails stepped on, and they jumped away from the direction of the main attack of the Heavenly Army.
"Kill the ......" made the cavalry of the heavenly army roar in unison, and the momentum was like a rainbow, resounding in the sky outside Yulin City.
The thief army on both sides of the Ming army's position was originally scattered, and finally gathered some of the Ming army's cavalry, after seeing this scene, they could no longer stop it, and they scattered even more, and they were all over the mountains and fields.
And the cavalry of the Ming army was already scattered because they wanted to drive away the thieves, and no one had the courage to face it when they saw this situation. Relying on the speed of the horse, he fled far ahead of the infantry army.
"Second brother, the overall situation has been decided!" Hu Kuan saw that there was no resistance on the battlefield outside the city, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his face looked much better, and he sighed loudly.
He was the night in the original border army. Even if he had annihilated more than 5,000 captives in the city of naturalization. When encountering the 100,000 troops led by the governor of the three sides of the imperial court, claiming to be 300,000 troops, and he only had more than 5,000 horses, the pressure has always been very great.
Seeing that the second brother was talking and laughing, he arranged countermeasures and gradually resolved the numerical advantage of the Ming army. also maintained the reputation of calling the heavenly army to be the master of the people, and Hu Kuan's heart had to be admired.
In the process of implementation, he has been worried that there may be any links that may not be considered, and there was an unexpected situation, and he lost the first battle of the official entry into the customs.
Now that the dust has settled on the war, he was happy and forgot for a while, and he was very careful about proportion, and called out the title of "second brother".
Hu Guang heard the emotion of the eldest brother. Just smiled, and the reaction was not as big as Hu Kuan. For him, such a situation was just expected by him.
The difficulty of this war is only how not to hurt the ordinary people who are used as cannon fodder. Although the practice of building walls in the city to isolate them has not happened, it is actually quite dangerous. As long as there are some of the elite thieves or Ming soldiers who come in with the cannon fodder and have a strong sense of resistance, it is likely to cause chaos in the city.
But it turns out. Whether it is cannon fodder or the so-called elite of thieves, or those Ming soldiers. None of them wanted much to fight. In addition, the propaganda strategy on his side has been being done, so nothing happened.
This kind of thing can only happen once, and if you use this strategy next time, it will definitely not work.
For example, this time, if Chen Qiyu could know for the first time that this kind of measure was being taken in the city. He wouldn't have sent cannon fodder and ordinary thief elites to consume first, and directly sent the family troops of his generals.
This part of the people will be relatively stronger, and they will be even more willing to make meritorious contributions. You don't need too many people, just mix in one or two thousand people, sandwiched in tens of thousands. If you make a fuss or incite, it is estimated that there will definitely be chaos in the city.
Regarding the problems that the eldest brother Hu Kuan was worried about, Hu Guang didn't care at all. Since ancient times, it has been said in military books that soldiers are not expensive. This sentence has also been well verified in the current battle in Yulin.
Another point is that Hu Guang actually disdains the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. As far as Shaanxi's side is concerned, under normal circumstances, the border army is weaker than the border army in Liaodong, not to mention that in Shaanxi at this time, the elite has already been transferred to King Qinwang by the governors of various places.
Regarding this point, Jianyu actually gave an example. Just like Jianyu can use a small army, he can often defeat several times or even more than ten times the Liaodong border army, and then chase and kill all the way, and the corpses of the Ming army are all over the field.
Hu Guang thought in his heart, watching the Heavenly Army outside the city execute his orders very well. That is, the cavalry did not care about anything else, and rushed straight after the place where the handsome banner was. If you can capture or kill the commander of the Ming army, that's the best.
But even if this plan doesn't work, the commander of the Ming army doesn't have time to reorganize the ragged army, and he can do it as far as he can.
After Hu Guang glanced at the battlefield outside the city, he put down his monoculars, turned his head to Hu Kuan and smiled and said, "Big brother, cheer!" β
Hu Kuan received the order, smiled, and then turned to the field army and local troops who remained at the head of the city to give an order, and let them cheer as they had been ordered in advance.
Needless to say, this kind of cheer of victory is a good means of boosting morale, and it can also enhance the sense of honor of calling the heavenly army. At this time, it was even more important to let the nearly 50,000 or so thieves and ordinary soldiers of the Ming army in the city know, so that it would be more convenient for the revolutionaries to pacify and stabilize them.
Either they were infected by the victory, or they regarded themselves as a member of the Heavenly Army, and everyone on the school field slowly cheered along with the cheers of the Heavenly Army.
The sound of this celebration was so loud that it seemed to shake the heavens down, shake the Jade Emperor off the throne, and shake a new world.
Hu Kuan's face could no longer pretend to be serious, he smiled and said sincerely: "Chief, after this battle, the imperial court in Shaanxi will no longer pose a threat to us, at least northern Shaanxi will be." In the future, northern Shaanxi will be the world we call the Heavenly Army, and we can finally breathe a sigh of relief! β
Who knew that after his words fell, Hu Guang shook his head, but he still replied with a smile on his face: "It's not time to breathe a sigh of relief, next, there is a more serious battle waiting for us!" β
When Hu Kuan heard this, he suddenly lost his temper and looked stunned, he didn't know what the second brother meant?
The war in northern Shaanxi has just ended, and the news of the defeat naturally cannot reach the capital so quickly. But even if it reaches the Jingshi, it doesn't matter. Because at this time, a major event that shocked the world had already spread to the Beijing Division. (To be continued.) )
