Chapter 0719 Diplomacy Is Made
Sun Chengzong nodded, "The current three-sided defenders, as well as most of the generals in Liaodong, have mostly fought with Lao Chen. ”
"Last time, Huang Taiji personally led an army of 100,000 people and didn't beat my Daming, this time Dolgon dared to come with 40,000 people, tell me, what kind of fighting method will he use? Or is it an old routine? Looking for an opportunity to plunder south? Looking for my Ming army to fight in the field? ”
Sun Chengzong nodded, "Most likely, although the Jiannu army is only 40,000, they are all elite iron cavalry, which has an advantage over the number of the Imperial Forest Army, and the class of troops has an advantage, and the Jiannu army has been fighting all year round, and this wave of people are veterans who have fought with us for more than ten years, and their experience is also more advantageous." If he doesn't attack the big cities, and fights us around these important small cities, the situation is not optimistic. Your submachine gun team, it's a pity that the number is too small, and once people block it with shields, they can't form an absolute advantage. ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen also nodded, "Yes, this is exactly what I am worried about, but even if I can't beat it, I can't let Jiannu wreak havoc at will, can they let them fight from the beginning of this year until the winter of next year, and spend a whole year in the Beijing-Tianjin area?" Then Da Ming Tuo will also be dragged to death. If you can't fight, you have to fight, if you fight all the people, you have to fight, we don't have the habit of only being beaten and not fighting back, at least in my hands, we must develop this habit, don't say that we are beaten, even if the foreign enemy scolds us, we have to beat the whole country to death, honor is to fight, not to quarrel! Diplomacy is also played! ”
Sun Chengzong didn't say anything, he was very anxious in his heart, he knew the emperor's personality. Not as a last resort. Local warlords will not be mobilized to come and reinforce them! Let's be honest though. Even if the local warlord came, it was useless, more than 100,000 came back, and in the end, Qin Liangyu's 20,000 white pole soldiers played a role, and they still had to rely on themselves.
Dolgon had expected that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen would personally come to reinforce and set up a formation outside Yongping! Divide the 40,000 Eight Banners Iron Cavalry into eight groups, each group of 5,000 people, all of whom are the elite of the Eight Banners!
"Chongzhen! Suffer death! Give me a round! "Dorgon doesn't talk nonsense. As soon as the army of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen arrived, he immediately put all the army into battle!
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen also hurriedly asked Lu Xiangsheng to line up, and more than eighty armed eunuchs from Xichang lined up in front of the first layer! Prepare to defend against this wave of Jiannu's overwhelming offensive! This is a large-scale head-to-head confrontation between the two armies since the last battle to defend the Beijing Division!
"Daming will go to the national disaster together! Bow to the Ming Dynasty and go to the national disaster together! Bow to the Ming Dynasty and go to the national disaster together! Bow to the Ming Dynasty and go to the national disaster together! ……”
After the baptism of the last Beijing Defense War, and after more than a year of planning for the modern military sequence, the combat effectiveness and the organizational discipline, technical and tactical level of the army have been slightly higher than that of the Jiannu army, and far higher than the other armies of the Ming Dynasty! This is also an important reason why Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen dared to pull the army out to fight!
But. The disadvantage of the class cannot be compensated for by the technical and tactical level!
More than eighty submachine guns spewed tongues of fire! Bump Bump! Bump Bump!
The Guardsmen's strong bows and crossbows rained down!
The Jiannu army did not carry cannons this time. Pack light! The two sides are still a battle of spear and shield!
However, most of this qiē have been dissolved by the heavy iron shield carried by the Jiannu cavalry, since the last time I saw the submachine gun of the Ming army, it has also progressed with the progress of the war, and has innovated the tactics, the number of submachine guns in a limited situation, can not play a decisive role, the Jiannu iron cavalry in front of the sudden rush, just holding a heavy iron shield charge! The Jiannu iron cavalry behind them held slightly lighter iron shields to protect the top of their heads, which limited the power of the bows and crossbows and artillery of the Ming army!
40,000 Jiannu iron cavalry and more than 10,000 Ming Imperial Forest Army fought in one place in an instant, and the two sides fought not only a stick of incense! The Jiannu army was like a comb from the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's imperial car, and then returned to the position where Dolgon was encamped, and the casualties of the Ming army were at least three times that of Jiannu!
The Jiannu army only suffered more than a thousand casualties, while the Ming army suffered at least three thousand casualties!
"Don't chase, Your Majesty, don't chase!" Sun Chengzong coughed.
Lu Xiangsheng asked urgently, "Your Majesty, do you want to pursue?" ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen sighed, what are you chasing? Chasing cavalry with infantry? "Set up camp! Confront Jiannu! ”
According to this way of playing, within three days, the Imperial Forest Army of the Ming Dynasty will be consumed! As long as Jiannu does not use the army to touch the heavy city walls of the Ming Dynasty, Jiannu is really conducive to a victorious and undefeated position!
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's sad discovery only went through a battle! The morale of the Ming army has dropped a lot, after all, everyone knows the gap between the two sides in terms of strength!
In the next three days, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen personally led the army to fight a bloody battle, but it was like a child going to fight an adult, and it had no effect on this, if it had a little effect, that is, it was to meet Huang Weizheng in Yongping City to break through, and 20,000 troops were combined.
"There's no way to fight like this, Your Majesty, you will go to Tianjin first, and the old minister will arrange it here, and then look for a chance?" Sun Chengzong admonished Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was disheartened for a while, and went to ask people many times whether Wang Chengen had returned to Tianjin City, and there was no news. I had to accept Sun Chengzong's construction! led the army back to Tianjin and looked for another opportunity, while Sun Chengzong took a few generals to stay behind to lead the trilateral defense.
After the Jin soldiers captured Luanzhou, they divided their troops from Funing to Shanhai, and lined up three battalions thirty miles away from the pass. Weixian, deputy commander-in-chief of Shanhai North Road, and Chen Weihan, a staff general, set up two battalions to resist the enemy. Later, Weixian was ordered by Ma Shilong to lead Chen Weihan and guerrilla Zhang Qihua to attack Zunhua. The soldiers in the city attacked, but the vanguard of the virtuous army fought to the death, and the rear team took advantage of the situation to attack, and the arrows and stones in the city rained down. Weixian and Zhang Qihua were killed in battle, and more than 300 soldiers were killed and wounded.
Sun Yuanhua followed Sun Chengzong to guard the Shanhaiguan, and in March, he was added as the deputy envoy of Shandong Province, and in May, he was promoted to the governor of Lai's two states. Mao Wenlong's old generals in Phi Dao mutinied, and Sun Yuanhua took over the rebel generals Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Li Jiucheng, and Li Yingyuan in Phi Dao. Kong Youde was appointed cavalry general, and Geng Zhongming was sent to the Dengzhou fortress.
Losing both battles and being forced to appoint Mao Wenlong's old department, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was full of helplessness. (To be continued......)
