Chapter 767: Huang Taiji's Caution
At this time, Sun Chengzong spoke. Facing Wei Zheng, he said with emotion: "Lord Wang, this is definitely an action that Huang Taiji has been planning for a long time...... Otherwise, the whole thing would almost never be so foolproof and without a single loophole......"
Wei Zheng affirmed: "This is indeed a plan without loopholes......
After getting Wei Zheng's affirmation, Sun Chengzong directly raised the battle report in his hand and said: "Lord Wang, since we can't find a loophole from the Tartar, then we can only do what Commander Wang said...... Immediately send troops to reinforce Liaodong and force the Tartars to leave Liaodong as soon as possible. Only in this way can we reduce the losses in Liaodong to a minimum......"
"I will immediately dispatch three regiments of the guard division to reinforce the Liaodong ...... as quickly as possible."
"The three elite guard regiments, plus the cavalry division and heavy artillery regiment that Commander Wang still holds in his hands, even if they can't defeat Huang Taiji, they can inflict heavy losses on the tens of thousands of elites in Huang Taiji's hands, forcing them to leave Liao......dong immediately."
The Guard Division is stationed just outside Beijing, and the Guard Division is the real elite of the Haw Par Army, not only with twice the strength of ordinary musketeers, but also with far more training intensity than ordinary musketeers.
Therefore, the guard division has more than 10,000 soldiers, not only a qualified musketeer, but also a qualified cavalryman.
After the order to send troops from the Governor's Palace reached the barracks, more than 10,000 musketeers were ready to send troops in just one day. Then, under the order of Sun Chengzong, Hao Hao left the military camp and went to Liaodong......
At this moment, after a day and a night of continuous looting, the Houjin army, which had harvested at least 200,000 quintals of grain, was no longer satisfied with the several counties around Liaoyang......
Under the temptation of grain and other various gold and silver. A 5,000-strong Houjin Army firearms unit. Directly forgot the advice Huang Taiji gave him before leaving. Alone in the depths. swept towards a county seat more than 100 miles away from Liaoyang.
With such a good fighter, the cavalry division commander, who has long been holding back a ball of fire in his heart, will certainly not let it go.
More than 5,000 cavalry, like a sharp arrow, quickly flew out of Liaoyang City and shot at the target.
Of course, the initiative of more than 5,000 cavalry of the cavalry division did not hide the ubiquitous scouts of the Tartars.
When the cavalry division was lightning fast. Bump into the five thousand Tartar musketeers who are looting and start a bloody massacre.
Huang Taiji, who was still lurking outside Liaoyang City, received the news of the Tiger and Leopard Army's cavalry attack as soon as possible......
"Suffered...... The target of the cavalry division of the Tiger and Leopard Army must be the elite of the five thousand musketeers that we have penetrated into alone......" After listening to the scout's report, Huang Taiji directly showed a shocked expression on his face, and subconsciously exclaimed.
Ao Bai, who was standing beside him, heard the news of the cavalry division's attack, and a pair of eyes directly shot out two eyes full of heat.
Without thinking about it, he said to Huang Taiji and said, "Great Khan, the slave asks for his life...... Draw the two closest cavalry to them. Strike immediately and reinforce them...... Strive to be able to eliminate them in one fell swoop......"
Huang Taiji is clear. After the attack on the second regiment was futile, Ao Bai was holding back a ball of fire in his stomach.
If it weren't for Huang Taiji's pressing, Ao Bai, who was standing in front of him, would probably directly lead troops to attack Liaoyang......
However, Huang Taiji did not do what Ao Bai wished, shook his head, and vetoed with a solemn face: "No, it's too late...... Now that reinforcements are being sent, even on the battlefield, the five thousand musketeers have been lost. If you don't make it work, the cavalry division of the Haw Par Army, which has successfully eliminated our 5,000 musketeers, will take down one of our reinforcements......"
Ao Bai asked with an unwilling face: "Then we will watch the five thousand musketeers being wiped out by the Tiger and Leopard Army and be indifferent...... Great Khan, the minions are unwilling, these musketeers are all trained by my Houjin State with great national strength......"
"Also, Great Khan, once these 5,000 musketeers are wiped out by the Tiger and Par Army, we will only have more than 20,000 troops left in our hands to plunder...... If we don't find a way to change the situation in front of us, the Tiger and Par Army Cavalry Division will continue to attack, break through each one, and then destroy the one or two large armies that we have scattered...... When the time comes, the tide of battle will become more and more unfavorable for us......"
After showing an appreciative look at Ao Bai, Huang Taiji followed closely and said, "Ben Khan doesn't want to see the five thousand musketeers being eaten by the Tiger and Par Army like this...... However, where is the strength of the cavalry division of the Haw Par Army, Ben Khan has no way to ......"
"If you really want to blame, blame these five thousand musketeers, why didn't they listen to Ben Khan's advice and run so far to plunder...... Isn't that a clear attempt to give the cavalry division of the Tiger and Leopard Army a chance to destroy them? ”
"Well, don't think about these 5,000 musketeers, just think about it, as if he has been wiped out by the Tiger and Par Army...... But there is another situation that you have just said, and we must pay attention to it...... Now, the county towns around Liaoyang have almost been plundered by us...... However, the whole harvest is still a long way from our final goal......"
"Therefore, it is imperative for us to leave Liaoyang and expand the scope of plunder......"
"In order to prevent what you just said from becoming a reality, and to prevent the four raiding troops from being broken by the cavalry divisions of the Tiger and Leopard Army. Ben Khan decided to immediately shrink his forces and expand the scope of his raids......"
"Five thousand musketeers, five thousand cavalry in one...... A total of two armies continued to penetrate deep into the territory of Liaodong and expand the scope of plunder...... Within three days, the two armies must bring back at least 800,000 loads of grain ......"
"In addition, in order to prevent the Haw Par Army from concentrating its forces to attack us, we plundered the troops along the way. In the hands of Ben Khan, it is necessary to master a mobile force to reinforce the battlefield at any time and solve unexpected ...... that may arise on the battlefield."
"Ben Khan decided to immediately dispatch two thousand iron horsemen from each of the six besieging troops, and rushed here as soon as possible to report to Ben Khan......
"The army of six routes, each with two thousand iron horsemen, all adds up to twelve thousand people...... Ben Khan decided that you would personally command the 12,000 iron horsemen...... Once you get the order from Ben Khan to send troops, you must cook and go to the battlefield as soon as possible......"
More than 5,000 Tiger and Leopard cavalry attacked 5,000 unprepared Tartar musketeers, and succeeded in eliminating more than 1,000 musketeers with just one round of sudden charges.
So, the whole battle went on without any surprises.
In less than an hour, five thousand Tartar musketeers were slaughtered.
And the losses of the cavalry division were less than 500 people when they were fully armed.
Just when the cavalry division returned to Liaoyang with the booty as soon as possible to avoid a retaliatory siege that the Tartars might launch.
There were still more than 20,000 Tartar elites left, and no troops were sent. Instead, according to Huang Taiji's order, he quickly shrank his troops...... (To be continued......)
