Chapter 1205: They Don't Know It's Powerful Yet
From the American continent, after a long journey across the ocean, Jay Chou's army, which finally arrived in the East to support Zhao Hongyu, has landed in the land of Daming.
Moreover, Jay Chou and the Imperial Army under his command have already fought against the invincible Houjin Eight Banners in the East and achieved a victory.
This victory allowed Jay Chou and the soldiers of the Imperial Army under his command to understand the combat power of the Houjin Eight Banners, and at the same time built up self-confidence and confidence.
Yes, with sophisticated firearms and artillery, the advantage of the Eight Banners who are still using cold weapons is very certain, but Jay Chou was originally worried about the other party's cavalry, but now it seems that the cavalry has nothing to fear.
Of course, this is the Imperial Army, and only they have the confidence to fight against the Houjin Eight Banners and achieve victory.
If it is replaced by the army of the Ming Dynasty, or the Mongolian tribes whose steppe has declined, there is really no way to fight against the elite of the Later Jin Eight Banners.
And it was only a small battle, not even a campaign.
Therefore, Houjin's self-confidence and courage have not been destroyed because of this.
Come to think of it, if you want Houjin to remember the strength of the Imperial Army, when you see the Imperial Army, you will feel that you still need to continue fighting.
And Jay Chou is quite aware of this.
However, such an opportunity is at hand.
Daming's Jingshi was besieged by the Houjin army, and Jay Chou thought that as long as he led the army to the vicinity of the Jingshi, then he could force the Houjin army to come and fight him.
Moreover, it is impossible for the Houjin army, which is besieging Jingshi, to let an army like itself sway around them, which is very dangerous for the Houjin army.
Once the defenders in the Jingshi and their outer armies launched an attack on the besieging Houjin army, it would be very troublesome for the Houjin side.
Even, there is a great possibility. It will make the Houjin army hate the city of Jingshi.
As long as the commander of the latter march is not an idiot, then he must deal with his own army first.
Therefore, the contest between himself and the Houjin army will start soon.
At the same time, Jay Chou also knew who the commander of the Houjin Army who besieged Beijing was from where he surrendered to Sony.
Huang Taiji.
After Jay Chou heard Huang Taiji's name at that time, a trace of astonishment flashed on his face.
This is a Ming man in history.
And he actually personally led the army to invade the Ming Dynasty, and even went straight to the city of Beijing.
But in an instant, Jay Chou was relieved, because he suddenly thought that he had learned historical knowledge in the virtual world. It seems that in history, Huang Taiji did personally lead the elite of the Eight Banners of Houjin, and he invaded the territory of the Ming Dynasty more than once.
Moreover, there seems to have been such a thing as soldiers coming to the city of Beijing.
In history, after the soldiers came to the Ming Dynasty, the famous Yuan Chonghuan was slashed by the Ming Emperor with a thousand knives.
It was precisely because of Yuan Chonghuan's death that Liaodong's military strength began to shift from equal strength to defense in Houjin.
Before Yuan Chonghuan died, the Liaodong Army and the Later Jin were both offensive and defensive. But since Yuan Chonghuan was gone, Liaodong has completely turned into a defensive Houjin.
But in this time and space, Yuan Chonghuan does not have such a person at all.
So, this time Houjin besieged Jingshi. Even if they are withdrawn in the future, I don't think there will be such a thing again.
However, the towns and towns of the Liaodong defenders were unfavorable, which led to the charge that the Houjin army drove straight in. That's definitely not going to run away.
Even, Yang Fengyi, the governor of Liaodong, had to be condemned.
But these are not what Jay Chou needs to consider.
"General. Thirty miles ahead was the capital, and the scouts had not found any trace of the enemy when they returned to the front. ”
After listening to the report, Jay Chou's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
The army is now so close to the Jingshi, and the Houjin army has not moved, which is a bit confusing.
Wouldn't the rear army fight with itself and retreat like this?
In Jay Chou's mind, such a judgment flashed.
However, soon, this judgment was thrown out of his mind.
Something simply can't be done.
After the Jin army besieged the Beijing division, they must have some plans that have not been implemented.
Just retreat like this, are they willing?
You must know that in another time and space, the Houjin soldiers came to the city and forced the Ming Dynasty to sign a covenant under the city.
At the same time, the Houjin army in another time and space invaded, and there was a large number of looted materials and population.
So, in this time and space, have Huang Taiji achieved such an extent?
Moreover, the Houjin army did not know the combat strength of their own side, and they would definitely not be willing to withdraw from the siege like this.
At least they have to fight with their own side and be defeated, and they will withdraw their troops only after they know how powerful they are.
So, it's not good now, the Houjin army is assembling.
"Continue to investigate, expand the scope, and at the same time send more reconnaissance personnel, and it is necessary to grasp the dynamics of the Houjin army."
Jay thought it through in a very short time, and then ordered.
The herald departed.
"General, there is no trace of the Houjin Army now, could it be that they have withdrawn?"
When the herald left, the adjutant beside Jay Chou asked.
Jay Chou shook his head when he heard this: "Houjin people are greedy, and now that they are in the Ming Dynasty, they must have earned enough benefits along the way, so they won't leave like this." Because they are not idiots, the benefits of Jingshi are greater, and they also know the truth. “
After listening to Jay Chou's words, the adjutant's face showed disbelief.
"General, do you mean that the Houjin army wants to break through the Jingshi and then plunder for a few days?"
It turned out that after listening to Jay Chou's words, the adjutant thought crookedly.
In the adjutant's opinion, unless the Houjin Army is brain-dead, how could he have such a plan.
You must know that they were able to come to the city of Beijing this time, it was definitely shit luck.
If it weren't for the fact that the guards from all over Liaodong descended to fear the battle, and the elite Yehuling led by Yang Fengyi was defeated, how could the Houjin army be able to do it to such an extent.
Even if they let their troops come to the city, it will not be easy to break through the Jingshi.
This is definitely not something that can be done in a short period of time.
Besides, the Ming Jingshi was surrounded, and it was impossible for the Ming troops in various places to sit idly by.
Even if there are those cowards. But it is impossible to say that all the Ming army will be like this.
Therefore, as long as some time is wasted, let the Ming troops from all over the country rush to Jingshi, it will be very bad for the rear army.
In another time and space, wasn't it the Ming army from all over the country that flocked to the rear army to withdraw?
The lieutenant is also a figure from the virtual world, and he also has modern ideas and knowledge.
He still knows a little bit about this bit of history.
Although it is only the general trend and not the details.
It is precisely because of this that he will show such a look after listening to Jay Chou's words.
Jay Chou turned his head sideways. looked at the adjutant who looked incredulous, and then smiled: "The commander of the Houjin army is not brain-dead, but Huang Taiji, who can leave his name in history, is known as one of the 13th emperors of the Great Qing Kingdom." ”
The adjutant slowly put away the shocked expression on his face, and asked thoughtfully, "Then why did the general say that?" ”
Jay Chou smiled: "Because the rear army still doesn't know how powerful we are, they won't withdraw willingly." They are basically undefeated in the battle against the Ming army, and their self-confidence has been played, and it can even be said that it has penetrated into their bones, and they also look down on the Ming army very much. ”
"We people. If you don't do it, they will think it is the Ming army. So, if you don't taste our awesomeness, they won't leave. ”
Jay Chou already has a clear judgment of the situation, and at the same time analyzes the mental dynamics of the Houjin Army.
War. Sometimes it is not only the strength and weapons but also the simple comparison of logistics, and the psychological mutual reflection is also very important.
"Didn't we already show our strength before? The defeated soldiers who were defeated by us half a day ago have fled back to the camp now, and they should have told Huang Taiji about our strength. Then with Huang Taiji's temperament, he should think of retreating. ", the adjutant thought of the battle half a day ago.
He thinks. That kind of battle should show the strength of his own side, so that Huang Taiji is cautious.
However, Jay Chou's opinion is not the same as that of the adjutant.
"This level of fighting is not enough to make Huang Taiji feel in awe of us. As I said, in these decades of combat confrontation with the Ming army, the elite of the Houjin Eight Banners has developed a self-confident mentality, which cannot be destroyed in a single battle. You must know that the army of the post-Jin era in history is known as invincible in the East. ”
This time, the adjutant understood the truth in Jay Chou's words.
Also, a small battle is indeed unlikely to make Houjin afraid. If they want to know the power of the Dao Empire and be terrified when they see the Imperial army, then they must be able to do so through constant battles and victories.
However, when Jay Chou said that Houjin's army was called invincible by historians during this period, the adjutant couldn't hold back his laughter.
Burst!
"General, you're not kidding, are you, there is still an invincible army in the era of cold weapons?"
Seeing the adjutant's face that was almost distorted with a smile, Jay Chou also smiled.
However, after laughing, Jay Chou slowly restrained his smile, and then his expression became serious.
"There was such an army in the era of cold weapons, although invincibility is a bit exaggerated, but it is still possible to win more and lose less. Don't you forget the ...... of the Mongol Iron Riders in history."
Hearing Jay Chou talk about the Mongolian cavalry, the adjutant also put away the smile on his face.
"But can the Houjin army be compared to the Mongolian cavalry in history?" The adjutant thought about it for a moment and then raised a question of his own.
Jay Chou nodded: "Don't forget, the main combat power of the Houjin Kingdom is cavalry." And the Ming Dynasty lacks cavalry, which is the weakness ......" (to be continued......
