Chapter 357: Bloody Battle (1)
(Thank you for the water of the waves 66, the king of the ringing horses, qxg, and the scarecrow for voting for the precious monthly ticket, and thank you for my reward, thank you.) )
Chongzhen ten years, the ninth day of the first month, Mao time.
Ten miles away from Yongning County, a large open area.
It was the harsh winter season, and the whistling north wind made people can't help but shrink their necks, and they can't help but shrink their bodies into a ball.
Although it is still during the Spring Festival, and it is a special time on the ninth day, this is a good time to visit relatives and friends, but Lushun to Yongning is tense, the people here are at a loss, many years ago, the army of the imperial court fought against the Houjin Tartars here, and the people made great sacrifices in order to support the imperial army, but unfortunately the imperial army was not able to hold on in the end, and all of them were defeated, so that the Houjin Tartars led and occupied here, which belonged to a large area of Shandong Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou and other places, All of them were occupied by the Houjin Tartars, I don't know how many people were killed who were unwilling to shave their hair, and I don't know how many people were slaughtered because of the fight against the Houjin Tartars, and the brutality of the Houjin Tartars made the people succumb.
A few years have passed, just after everyone has become accustomed to and numb to the days of being bullied, the imperial army suddenly came, and when the people did not understand it, they recovered Lushun, Jinzhou, Fuzhou and Xuancheng and other places, but the people were not happy, they were even more panicked, I don't know if the imperial army will liquidate their sins of taking refuge in Houjin, I don't know when the imperial army will withdraw, I don't know if there will be a more brutal purge after the Houjin Tartars occupy these places again.
So the people did not dare to go out. They can only wait and see, because they cannot decide their own fate.
This also leads zhì from Lushun to Fuzhou and other places, which seem particularly deserted. There is no one to see on the official road, and no one dares to walk boldly on the official road, and this atmosphere has continued to Gaizhou and other places.
Zheng Xunrui knows the reason, he will not force the people, after all, no matter what dynasty, the people are the lowest level of existence. Having borne the most painful losses, you have demanded that the people be righteous and awe-inspiring, and that the people cheer the army of the imperial court. That's all a fool's dream, only if you really do something for the people, you can get the support of the people.
Zheng Jiajun has finished arranging.
Fifty Furlong cannons were placed at the forefront, followed by the nine thousand cavalry of the Zheng family army led by Yang He. The cavalry of the 4,000 Zheng family army led by Zheng Jinhong. Four miles away from here, placing the artillery at the front, this is a novel tactic, Yang He has never seen it, but this is directly arranged by Zheng Xunrui.
Scouts and heralds come to play as a sign that the Great War is about to begin.
Yang He's face was both excited and solemn, and he was trying his best to control his own feelings. Zheng Xunrui's reminder was right, this was the first time that Zheng Jiajun had fought face-to-face with the Houjin Tartars. And in the face of a well-prepared post-gold tartar.
It is not a simple matter to suppress the arrogance in his heart, Yang He has participated in almost every battle with the Houjin Tartars, and the Zheng Jiajun has won a complete victory every time, which has greatly inflated his self-confidence, and he once despised the Houjin Tartars a little.
Therefore, before the attack began, Yang He's inner feelings could not be completely erased.
A few birds appeared, in the winter in the north, the birds were unusually rare, if they were not frightened, they would never fly around, these birds were obviously frightened, and they all flew in the direction of Yang He.
Yellow sand could be faintly seen in the sky, which was the sand and dust caused by the rapid march of the large group of men and horses, gathered into the air, and could be seen from afar.
After the Golden Tartar finally came, the fight was about to begin.
Yang He's expression became calm, this is what he learned from Zheng Xunrui, the more the war comes, the more he needs to be calm, not to be anxious and panicked, and not to be overly excited, after all, he is the commander, and he is the commander who is at the front, his calmness can give great comfort to the soldiers under his command, and can infect the soldiers under his command, so that everyone can gradually calm down.
This is the first time, Yang He understands Zheng Xunrui's reminder, such a battle, victory or defeat is very crucial, so that the Zheng family soldiers have a truly unforgettable understanding, let everyone know how brave the Houjin Tartars are, when the Zheng family soldiers face the Houjin Tartars, do they have a real advantage, this advantage is not something that is said in words, not by blitzkrieg, but the huge courage and advantage accumulated by face-to-face fighting.
The military tent of the Zheng family's army.
Zheng Jinhong stood beside Zheng Xunrui, and the expression on his face was a little unpredictable.
Zheng Xunrui didn't look at Zheng Jinhong, as if he was talking to himself.
"This is a bloody battle, and it also makes many soldiers understand that the Houjin Tartars have a very strong combat effectiveness, and it is definitely not the combat effectiveness of the Houjin Tartars in Lushun and Fuzhou and other places, I still can't bear it, but I must make such a determination, let the soldiers and the Houjin Tartars fight face to face, maybe this time the fight will let the soldiers have a real understanding, so that they can calmly face any attack of the Houjin Tartars in the future."
Hearing Zheng Xunrui say this, Zheng Jinhong's expression was even more wrong, and he couldn't help but speak.
"Young master, are you saying that the Houjin Tartar is very powerful, and the soldiers will not be able to resist it."
Zheng Xunrui turned his head to look at Zheng Jinhong for a while before speaking.
"Jin Hong, do you think the soldiers can gain the upper hand at the beginning of the fight?"
Zheng Jinhong nodded firmly, but did not speak.
"Not necessarily, the brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, and it is good for the soldiers to have courage, but the battle in the past few days has made the soldiers' hearts a little inflated, and they always feel that the Houjin Tartars are vulnerable, I even heard some discussions, saying that the Houjin Tartars are not much stronger than the Liukou, hearing these rumors, I am very worried, you think about it, how many troops are there in the Houjin Tartars, from the battle of Sarhu to the present, the Zheng family army really defeated the Houjin Tartars in the field, but there was a court army that defeated the Houjin Tartars, Guan Ning's iron cavalry is not good, Qi Jiajun is not good, why is this. ”
Zheng Xunrui sighed slightly and spoke again.
"The Houjin Tartars can have such a record, which shows that they are indeed brave, I have thought carefully, why the Houjin Tartars can be so brave, are they born so powerful, and finally think of the result, there is really such a factor, the land in the north is barren, the climate is cold, and it is impossible to feed the family just by farming, so the Houjin Tartars have to fight against nature since they were young, they have been hunting since they were young, and they spent time on horseback, what is hunting, that is a silent battle, It was a battle that sharpened people's temperament and murderous spirit. ”
"From this aspect, we have to admit that the personal combat ability of the Houjin Tartars is indeed stronger than any army in the imperial court, you should remember the harsh training of the Zheng Jiajun, and some people even describe this as devil training, and now many people understand that if the Zheng Jiajun does not experience this kind of devilish training, when facing the Houjin Tartars, there is no chance, even if there are many people, it is a fate of defeat."
When Zheng Xunrui said this, Zheng Jinhong heard the taste.
"What the young master means, the final victory still belongs to the Zheng family."
Zheng Xunrui nodded, his eyes becoming deep and resolute.
"There is no doubt that victory will be ours."
Duoduo received a report from the scout, and a large number of Ming troops were found in front, and they had already set up a battle formation, because the distance was a little far, and they couldn't see it clearly, and the scouts were also afraid of being discovered by the Ming army, so they couldn't estimate how many Ming troops there were.
Duoduo's face once again showed a look of anger and curiosity, he couldn't help but ask the scout a few words, the implication was that the scout was lying about the military situation, so many years have passed, he has also followed Huang Taiji to experience a lot of battles, and has not yet met a Ming army that dares to face the Eight Banners Army head-on.
After receiving an affirmative reply, a smile suddenly appeared on Dord's face, which was a very strange smile.
He spoke to Azig next to him.
"Brother Twelve, I really didn't expect that the Ming army would dare to seek death and fight face-to-face with my Eight Banners, are they nervous, this also just saves trouble, I still want to bypass Yongning City and attack Fuzhou directly."
Azig's thoughts, not much different from Duoduo, the failure of last year is a thorn in his heart, at this moment can meet the bold Ming army, that is the opportunity to pull out the thorn, as long as this Ming army is defeated, then he can raise his head again.
The speed of the army slowed down, and although they wanted to defeat the Ming army as quickly as possible, Duoduo and Azig were not confused, they needed to arrange their troops and make the best arrangements.
In the understanding of outsiders, the biggest advantage of the Eight Banners Army is speed, as well as accurate archery, which can give the opponent great damage, but the real advantage of the Eight Banners Army lies in the momentum of the charge, with the indomitable momentum, it can overwhelm the opponent in an instant, and the two sides have not yet begun to fight closely, victory and defeat have come out.
This time, Duoduo and Azig needed to give full play to the charging advantage of the Eight Banners Army, fully display the murderous and domineering spirit of the white flag sergeant, and completely overwhelm the Ming army.
On the question of who led the charge, Duoduo and Azig had a small dispute, but Duoduo still gave in, according to the rules of the Eight Banners Army, the commander could not charge at the front, and it was natural for the deputy marshal to lead the sergeant to charge.
The officers of the Eight Banners Army, any battle is to charge in front, when Huang Taiji inherited the position of the Han Dynasty, during the battle of the Daling River, he also charged in the front, and he would never retreat.
The scouts continued to report information, and when they learned that the Ming army actually put the artillery at the front of the team, Duoduo and Azig had a smile on their faces, and when the two looked at each other, they couldn't help laughing wildly, what kind of formation is this, who doesn't know that the artillery will block the formation of the cavalry charge, it seems that the Ming army is cowardly, thinking that just a few artillery pieces can defeat the Eight Banners Army.
