Chapter 225: The Weakness of the Ming Army

Naturally, he is no stranger to Yueyang Dolgon, and it can even be said that Dolgon has already listed Yueyang as the biggest enemy besides Huang Taiji. From the time he met Yueyang in Horqin, Dolgon believed that Yueyang was not an ordinary Ming person, and after a series of later events, he intensified this understanding, but even if Dolgon thought that he had a high opinion of Yueyang, he did not expect that the original merchant would grow into a general with heavy troops in just two years.

In the past two years, Dolgon sent a large number of meticulous works to Yingzhou Capital, Wulizhai and Hunyuan Prefecture, wanting to explore the secret of Yueyang's rise, but the more he knew, the more confused Dolgon became. Whether it is high-yield seeds or well-made weapons and armor and firearms with an amazing range, these things seem to come out of thin air, and Dolgon also used some secret means to get these seeds and firearms to Shenyang, wanting to emulate Yueyang Tuntian and build firearms, but when it comes to the end, he shows that what he has done is just useless, whether it is seeds or firearms, they are not what they can plant and imitate, this feels like a beautiful woman stripped naked and standing in front of you, When you want to make a move, but you can't do it, it's a hard feeling.

Now when Dorgon looked at the rows of battle-lined musketeers in front of him, his expression was extremely solemn. He whispered to Yue Tuo: "You fought with this Yueyang when you were in Hunyuan Prefecture, and you can be regarded as an old acquaintance, are you sure to repel it today?" ”

If Dolgon's words were heard by the generals of Houjin and Ming, I am afraid that they would fall off their glasses, as the famous "Murgen Daiqing Belle", the first thought that came to mind when he met the Ming ** team was not to annihilate or defeat, but whether it could be repulsed, the information contained in it was too great.

Yue Tuo's face was also full of caution, he looked at the battle formation of the Ming army and said slowly: "Fourteenth uncle, if Yueyang's Yingzhou army is skilled in martial arts and bravery, it is actually quite inferior to our Eight Banner warriors. But the most powerful thing about him is actually the firearms they hold, this kind of firearm has a range of 200 paces, whether we send cavalry to charge quickly or send foot soldiers to advance slowly, there is a problem, that is, how to rush to them. Unless we have a large amount of artillery to help us fight at the moment, I personally do not propose to attack them immediately. ”

"Artillery!"

Hearing this, Dorgon couldn't help but smile bitterly. As a country that developed from the nomads, firearms are definitely a high-tech thing for Houjin, they not only lack artillery but also lack qualified gunners, especially after Nurhachi was seriously injured and died by artillery, the woman's desire for artillery has reached an incomparable level. This is also the reason why Shang Kexi led his artillery battalion and a large number of craftsmen who could cast artillery to take refuge in the Later Jin Emperor Taiji, and why he was crowned king despite public opinion. The Houjin people were too eager for artillery.

And this time, Dolgon and Yue Tuo led their troops to come just thinking that they were just here to conduct an armed parade, and naturally no one would be idle to bring those artillery pieces that weighed hundreds or even thousands of miles when they didn't move, but now when they saw such a situation, the two of them were immediately dumbfounded.

Without artillery, there is no way to suppress the opponent's firearms, and if you send your own people to fight hard, the casualties will be too great, and if you don't do it, you will have to pay for your own old capital.

Hauge rode his war horse and stood silent, the so-called defeated people are not enough to speak bravely, and he who has just lost the battle should be dumb.

"We can ...... them from both flanks," Yue Tuo shook his head as soon as he said this, he had clearly seen that there were more than a thousand cavalry on each flank of the phalanx to protect the two flanks. If you flank from both flanks, I'm afraid that the flank attack won't work, but you will be joined by the opponent's cavalry and foot soldiers to make dumplings.

At that moment, a sentry came speeding in from a distance. When he came to Dolgon and the two of them, he reported loudly: "When the two Belle Lords, the slave Shicai and Lord Bahab were exploring the vicinity, the six thousand cavalry of the Chahar tribe were watching the battle one mile behind the Ming army's battle array. Lord Bahab asked his subordinates to ask what to do? ”

"The Chahar tribe?"

As soon as Yue Tuo and Dolgon heard this, their eyes lit up at the same time, and even Hauge, who was originally silent on the side, slapped his thigh and shouted: "Yes, we can't attack the military formation of the Yingzhou army for a while." Can't you beat the waste led by those wives of the Chahar tribe? ”

Speaking of this, Haoge said loudly: "Fourteenth uncle, Yue Tuo, you will let me go this time." As long as you give me 3,000 soldiers and horses, I can serve the waste of those Chahar tribes, and then I want to see what those Yingzhou military councils will do? At this point, Hauge's face was full of fierceness.

"Well, that's fine." There was no mockery in Dorgon's eyes this time, but he nodded slowly, and he said to Yueto, "What do you think? ”

"I think so." Yue Tuo nodded without hesitation: "As long as the people and horses of the Chahar tribe can be defeated, then Yue Yang will definitely not stand idly by, you must know that there are many foot soldiers among them, as long as their army formation moves, we will have a chance!" ”

"Okay, that's it!" Dolgon, who was a very straightforward man once he had made his decision, immediately said: "Hauge, I will now allocate you two thousand cavalry, plus your own men and horses with yellow flags, and the total number of men and horses will be more than three thousand. Your mission is to defeat the Chahar tribe in the shortest possible time! Note...... It's to defeat them, and then drive them to the Ming army's military formation, do you know what I mean? ”

Hauge's eyes flashed with excitement, and he answered loudly and went off in a hurry.

Looking at Hauge's speeding figure, a subtle look flashed in Dolgon's eyes, and he turned to Yue Tuo and said, "Later, if Hauge can drive the men and horses of the Chahar tribe to disrupt the Ming army's formation, it will be our turn to make a move." ”

"Don't worry." Yue Tuo's eyes also flashed with a hint of fierceness, "This time, I must avenge the defeat of the troops in Hunyuan Prefecture that day!" ”

Just when the Yingzhou army and the Houjin army were facing each other, in the rear about a mile away from the Ming army, Namu Zhongzheng led more than 6,000 Mongolian cavalry with Siqintu and others to stand on a hill and quietly watch the movement ahead, but after watching for a long time, the Houjin army only looked at the other party quietly after arriving, and did not have any intention of attacking.

Siqintu said to Namu Zhong with some confusion: "What the hell is going on? Why are those Jurchens so honest today? ”

Namu Zhong also shook his head and said that he didn't know what was going on, and then Barthes on the side explained the confusion for the two of them: "The two Fujin don't know, and the Houjin army didn't attack immediately because they were very jealous of this Ming army and were not sure to win this Ming army, so they were observing and looking for the shortcomings of this Ming army." You have also seen the power of the Ming army's firearms just now, Dolgon and Yue Tuo are both battle-hardened generals, and they will not attack lightly until they find the opponent's weakness. ”

When Barth talked about the power of the Ming army's firearms, Namu Zhong and the others' faces also changed slightly, just now when Hauge led more than 2,000 cavalry to rush over, even they were sweating for the Ming army, but the result surprised them. With only two rounds of guns, Hauge's cavalry was beaten to the ground, and in less than a few minutes, hundreds of cavalry were lost, forcing Hauge to immediately turn around and run away, such a scene was really shocking.

Thinking of this, even Si Qintu, who had the least affection for Yue Yang and the others, had no choice but to nod and admit it. It's just that later Si Qintu asked a little unconvinced: "In that case, can you see where the weakness of the Ming army is, Barthes?" ”

Bart said with some tears and laughter: "If I had this ability, our Chahar tribe would not have been bullied like this by the Houjin army." ”

Just as Barthes was speaking, suddenly a faint sound of horses' hooves came from the right flank. After hearing this, Barthes was stunned at first, and then his face immediately changed and he lost his voice: "I know where the weakness of the Ming army is!" (To be continued!)
