Chapter 727: Decide on a night attack
"That's all! Look at those Tartars who dare to stop us? Xiong Zhengen stood on the roof of a large car and said contemptuously. Then he gave a loud order, "Stop shooting and take fifty steps forward!" β
This battle was carried out exactly according to Wu Shigong's vision. The range of the Runing Army's three-pounder artillery was about one mile, and the range of six-pounder, nine-pounder, and twelve-pounder artillery was even longer, making it impossible for the Qing army to line up in a charging formation at a distance of eight or nine hundred paces. As a result, the formation of the Qing army was repeatedly scattered by artillery fire, and it was forced to retreat step by step by the Runing army.
"Whoa!" After being dispersed again, the commander of the Qing army gave a loud order, so in a sharp whistle, the cavalry of the Qing army turned their horses and withdrew to the rear. Such a battle was fought too unconfidently, the difference in firepower was too great, and it was subjected to the unilateral bombardment of the Runing army, and this Qing army could no longer support it.
"That's it?" Chi Ming exclaimed in surprise.
At this time, Wu Shigong's Chinese army had just crossed the small hillside, but as soon as they wanted to observe the situation of the battle, they saw the Qing army pulling out their horses and retreating, so Chi Ming was a little strange about the Qing army.
"What? Not used to it? Wu Shigong saw that the battle was going well, and he was in a good mood, "This man is going to last, but look at that tartar is not good!" β
As soon as this meat remark was spoken, it provoked hahadaxiao all around. And Chi Ming was a little shy when he heard this, looking at his expression, Yu Ji on the side joked: "My lord! You have to let Xiao Chi and Xiao Huang open the meat. Otherwise, they weren't real men. β
But as soon as he said this, Huang Ding jumped out: "Who said I haven't opened meat?" I have a good relationship in Runing. β
"Then tell me! How good is it? Yu Ji's right eyebrow jumped a few times, looking particularly obscene.
"That's it...... That's it! β
Seeing that Huang Ding's face was flushed and spitting, a burst of daxiao erupted around him.
After easily defeating this Qing army. The Runing army began to clean up the battlefield and move forward again in a step-by-step manner. After walking three or four miles, the Runing army finally came to the end of the first section of the journey, the Loess Terrace.
"Long respect! won the first battle, worthy of being a great general in the army, and Zhennaizi Ryuya. Hong Chengchou praised Wu Shigong in front of all the civil and military personnel, and even the words were particularly exaggerated, "Secretary! Write down the military exploits of General Wu, and when the horse arrives and successfully relieves the siege of Jinzhou, the governor will report to the imperial court to ask for merit for you. β
In today's shelling, the Runing Army obtained nearly 100 corpses left behind by the Qing army after the war. And obtaining such a "big victory" made Hong Chengchou quite happy. Because in the battle between the Ming army and the Qing army, such a record has not been achieved for a long time. However, there was no way, the Ming army had been fighting with the Qing army to defend the city, and they were also defeated in a few field battles. After the war, he couldn't control the battlefield at all, so he couldn't get the head of the Qing army if he killed the Qing army.
Therefore. With these heads later. Hong Chengchou can do a good article and report to the imperial court a victory with amazing results. Therefore, at this time, Hong Chengchou was quite proud of his discernment, and he was also very satisfied with the transfer of Wu Shigong to Liaodong.
"This is also the commander's command, and the last general only obeys the orders of the Inspector." At this time, Wu Shigong always has to be modest.
"Huh!" Hong Chengchou smiled and waved his hand. "Chang Jing Xiu is humble, who should be meritorious, this governor will not hide it, and will report it truthfully. Everyone! You must also guard against arrogance and rashness. Learn the courage of long-term respect, defeat the Tartars again, and rush to Jinzhou as soon as possible. β
"No!"
"That's it! Let's disperse first! Intensify the camp and wait for the army to move forward tomorrow. β
"No!"
After defeating the blocking Qing army, the Ming army successfully reached the end of the first leg of the journey - the Loess Terrace. And the Runing Army, which had ended the vanguard mission, was stationed in Zuihou of the whole army. The vanguard of the second leg of the journey was Liu Zhaoji, the general soldier of Liaodong. In order to facilitate departure, his battalion was stationed in the right front of Hong Chengchou's main army battalion.
"Who made you go to war? Didn't you tell you to wait until the army was combined before you could fight? Who made you stand up for yourself? Although Tan Tai's tone was very calm, his words were murderous, making the military attachΓ©s and other military attachΓ©s who had intercepted the Qing army kneel on the ground and did not dare to make the slightest sound.
After retreating, Tan Tai, who came from the rear, led 5,000 Qing troops to meet this Qing army. After learning that this Qing army had started a war without authorization and was defeated, Tan Tai's heart was actually full of anger.
"Let's talk about it! How did you get defeated? Tan Tai asked.
"My lord! The gunfire of the dog was so fierce that he couldn't get close at all. The athletes tried to rush forward several times, but they couldn't get in line at all and were dispersed. The minions saw that the situation was indeed not good, so they retreated first. That is, more than 200 casualties, which is not a defeat. The senator argued.
"Oh?" Tan Tai didn't care about the senator's defense, he wanted to know more about the situation, "Then do you see, which Ming dog is that?" β
"It's too far away to see the flag. The minions really don't know. The senator replied.
"Bastard! I don't even know which dog it is, so I'm going to go to war, and you have a pig's head around your neck? Think again! What are the other characteristics of that Ming dog? β
"It's just that the artillery is powerful, and nothing else. They all hid behind the artillery and couldn't see anything at all. β
"Hmm!" Tan Tai nodded.
As a high-ranking general in the Qing army and a confidant of Huang Taiji, Tan Tai knew the combat characteristics of the Runing army when he fought against Dolgon at that time. Moreover, the Ming army's sieve-like secrecy work also made the Manchu Qing Dynasty learn that Wu Shigong had come to Liaodong through his secret agents in the morning. Therefore, Tan Tai has always paid close attention to the movements of the Runing Army on the battlefield.
However, because the Ming army's operations have always relied on firearms, and today's battle did not show other combat characteristics, Tan Tai was not sure that it was the Runing army that he encountered.
After thinking for a while, Tan Tai instructed the leaders who were kneeling on the ground: "You guys should retreat first!" Prince Su will also be here soon, how to send you down, let the prince come and then decide! β
"Wow!"
In the evening of the same day, Prince Su Haoge led a thousand Qing troops to rush to help, and the total strength of the Qing army reached 8,000.
"Tan Tai! Which Ming dog do you think is on the other side? Haug asked with a grin.
"Back to the prince's words, no matter which Ming dog it is, the Ming dog that met Prince Rui must be in the opposite army, and we can always meet it." Tan Tai bowed and said.
"Hmmm! You're right. But is that Ming dog really that powerful? Hauge asked again.
"How do you know if you don't try?" Tan Tai was not afraid of fighting at all. Because of Dolgon's description of being weak by three points, coupled with his absolute confidence in his Qing army, Tan Tai did not think that the Runing army was particularly strong.
In addition, it is now fighting on the home turf of the Qing army in Liaodong, and the Manchu high-level believes that the strength of the Runing Army must have declined quite sharply after a large number of casualties, so Tan Tai, a senior general of the Qing army, thinks: We should pay attention to the Runing Army, but don't pay too much attention to it, as long as we don't underestimate the enemy. As for the rest of the Ming army, they didn't pay attention to it at all.
"Hahaha-!" Listening to Tan Tai's words, Haoge immediately became up, "Listen to the meaning of your words, just want to fight now?" β
"It's still the prince who understands the minion." Tan Tai bowed down again and said, "The slave thought to himself, the whole army will rest for a day first, and wait until the middle of the night tomorrow, and the slave will take eight hundred athletes to attack the camp of the Ming army at night, and strive to defeat them." β
"Oh?" Hauge was quite surprised by Tan Tai's audacity. However, he did not open his mouth to persuade him, because Hauge knew his father's henchman very well, the Zhenghuang Banner Commander Tan Tai. I know that he has always been cautious in the use of troops and will not fight uncertain battles.
In fact, Hauge, although his personality and majesty are very flawed, he is also a very capable commander like his father and uncle, so he also has a very accurate judgment of the war.
"Eight hundred is too little! This king will give you another seven hundred. Be careful, though! If you can't do something, don't force it. After all, we are a partial division, and it is best to repel the bright dog in front of us. If not, wait until the main force behind comes up, and you can also fight a decisive battle. β
"Wow!"
"Then tell me! What should we do with Naba, who started a war without permission? When the conversation was over, Hauge asked about the defeated chief.
"Let's let him make meritorious contributions! Tomorrow night, the slave will also bring Naba and give him a chance to make meritorious contributions. Otherwise, if you come back empty-handed, you will be disposed of by the prince. β
"Will this disposition make the army dissatisfied?" Hauge asked.
"It's all two yellow flags, and the hearts are all towards you, and it's not good to start too heavy. Besides, the news of the defeat will also lose your face, so let the Nabana slave make up for it! Although Tan Tai was very dissatisfied with Naba's unauthorized actions, he still pleaded for Naba at this time.
"That's what you're saying. Just tell him: If you violate the military order, remember the thirty lashes first. When he returns, if there is no battle to counteract, the king will personally beat him half to death. "Hauge really doesn't know how to be a man, he has already sold a favor to Naba, and to say such heavy words is completely a snake to add to it, and it has no effect of grace at all.
"Wow!" Although Tan Tai agreed, he was going to be vague when he spoke, just because he wanted Naba not to be too careful. However, Tan Tai's heart is also very helpless, how can he, the young master, be so far away from the emperor!
On the second day of the seventh month of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the Ming army changed its order, and Liu Zhaoji, the general soldier of Liaodong, marched forward again with Liu Zhaoji, the general soldier of Liaodong, and came to the line of Songshan and Xingshan to camp. And on the night of the same day, Tan Tai led the Qing army with 1,500 cavalry to attack the camp of the Ming army at night. (To be continued......)
