"When you move the division, hit it halfway."

This is the tactic that Huang Taiji came up with after experiencing the defeat of Ning Yuan and Ning Jin.

After countless deductions, this is the only way to restrain the artillery tactics of the Ming army's fortress. Because so far, no Ming army has been able to compete with the extremely mobile Eight Banners cavalry when it moves its division.

Even the elite such as the Qi family army and the white pole soldiers, due to the lack of troops and the balance of the terrain, blood was spilled on the banks of the Hunhe River. In that battle, the white pole soldiers could only launch a fearless charge with their feet to buy time for the Qi family's army, which was also a southern army. And the Qi family army can only sit and watch the friendly army be destroyed, because they must form a village and form a formation.

What is hateful is Yuan Yingtai of Liaoyang, who only knows how to abide by Liaoyang and does not send a single soldier to reinforce.

Perhaps judging from the situation at the time, whether he sent reinforcements or not, the outcome was the same.

Because it was impossible for the slave chief not to take precautions against this, he was also happy to have Yuan Yingtai send troops to rescue him, and he hit him halfway.

Therefore, Huang Taiji's tactic can be said to have been proven by practice.

Now, for some reason, it doesn't work.

Of course, Chongzhen knows why, except that the Ming army itself has not changed the bad habit of "sitting and watching friendly forces be destroyed". His strict deployment and his enough attention to Huang Taiji are also a major factor.

In comparison, whether it is Jurchen aristocrats such as Huang Taiji, or Fan Wencheng and other "gold-reducing Hanchens", they all know very little about the current Ming Dynasty. Their impression of Daming is still stuck in the battle of Ningyuan and Ningjin.

There is also a so-called secret report that Chongzhen sent the grass clothes guard to deliberately reveal, and he competed with the apocalypse for power.

The battle of Mingjin, in addition to the repeated battles on the surface, there is also this silent secret battle.

The secret battle was silent, but the battle on the battlefield was earth-shattering.

The Battle of Lugou Bridge can be said to be the first battle of the Ming army that did not rely on the city and only relied on resolute fortifications.

There was no supervising army in Zu Dashou's military camp, but the Jinyi guards commanded Liu Qiao, but he put the Shang Fang sword given by the Apocalypse on his lap, closed his eyes and sat quietly, and turned a deaf ear to the sound of shouting and killing outside the camp that could change the color of heaven and earth.

This is the right that Liu Qiao fought hard for, and the reason is very simple: "What kind of power and majesty is the Jinyi Wei Tiqi in the world?" But he was despised by the courtiers because of his commitment to the right to eunuch, the kind of contempt hidden in the smile.

Even the old man who spit on himself can't stand it! If you can't take on the big responsibility anymore, you only know Gou An, can you regain your glory? Is it worth taking off the fish suit embroidered spring knife? Is it worthy of the great cultivation of Emperor Chengzu? ”

In public and private, in sentiment and reason, the most important thing is that under the pressure of Liu Qiao and his Shang Fang sword, Zu Dashou, whose enterprising spirit has rapidly faded due to the reinforcement of Jinzhou, must do everything in his power to defend the position of Lugou Bridge!

Otherwise, not to mention Liu Qiao, even Yuan Chonghuan would not let him go.

He knew very well how much benefit he had gained from Yuan Chonghuan's hands, and it was difficult to sort out the confusion between public and private affairs.

Yuan Chonghuan is the most suitable hub between the Liaoxi Jiangmen and the Ming Dynasty, and his relaxation has made the Zu family, the Wu family and other families in Liaoxi Jiangmen in groups, never dare to be too presumptuous.

If he falls because of this battle, the Liaoxi generals will eventually drift away from the Ming court.

Valley "Self-reliance? Whether it is Daming or Jiannu, they will not allow another Liaoxi to jump out of the middle! Guanning is long and narrow, although it is closer to Liaodong, but the people's hearts are back, the best way is still to build slaves and obey the orders of the Ming Dynasty! ”

This is the content of a conspiracy between Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang, the two thought they were very secretive, but they didn't know that they had already placed it on the table in the big study of King Xin's mansion. After reading it once, he smiled and burned it.

Zu Dashou sincerely hoped that after this battle, Yuan Chonghuan, who was determined to go his own way and led to the entry of Jiannu, could still stay in Liaoxi. He personally put on the battle, the sword was unsheathed, and under the heavy protection of the guards, he put on a posture of sworn to fight. In view of this, how could the soldiers, mainly from the ancestral family, not fight with all their might?

The traditional military antlers and the new trench positions intercepted the short distance of a few breathing war horses like a moat, and the cannon was impossible to be extravagant enough to be moved to the wilderness by Zu Dashou.

Coming in a hurry, it is impossible to dismantle the cannons of Ningyuan and even Shanhaiguan and push them forward. However, the armament of firearms is very sufficient, alternating hot and cold weapons, which is a major combat method of the Guanning army.

Zu Dashou had an idea, and also gathered many carpenters along the way, and from the day he arrived at Lugou Bridge to start the garrison, he began to build this kind of long-range striking equipment invented by the Chinese people, which is the most primitive and extremely effective.

Zu Dashou, who has always been stupid, didn't know how to open up, and actually changed the stone to fire oil!

Even the so-called cannonballs that ignite at one point and explode when they hit the ground, transformed from stone mines!

Heavy personnel, all kinds of combat weapons, and endless methods of stubbornness. He simply drove the armored slaves to charge, and boasted that he could overturn all the Ming army's Jiannu with his self-proclaimed horse archery skills, and firmly intercepted them outside the military village.

In this battle, which lasted from early morning to dusk, both sides suffered heavy losses and were very tired.

Huang Taiji swore that if it was darker and later, he would be able to personally lead the raiding white-armored cavalry to take the position held by Zu Dashou.

However, the sound of a dense firecracker, accompanied by the roar of firearms from the ground, completely shattered the dream of a surprise attack that he had waited for all day, intending to launch in the evening when the defenders were at their most physically exhausted and mentally relaxed.

Huang Taiji has learned from some source that this firearm that can be buried in the ground and then roar into the sky has a very simple name - landmines.

Huang Taiji's ability to corroborate each other was very strong, and he immediately associated it with the firearms that could blow up horses' legs in the southwest of the Liaoxi Plain in the early days of the Battle of Ningjin.

"Mines! In the hands of Ming Gou, how many strange firearms are there! Didn't the pedantic Confucian scholars of the Ming Kingdom discard all these things as strange and obscene techniques? How can there be so many? Huang Taiji gritted his teeth.

"How long has it been since Lao Tzu personally led his troops into battle?" No matter how angry Huang Taiji was, he could only be helpless after all.

He led his heavily lost cavalry back to the Guangqu Gate, looking at the huge city in the night.

The sky changed because of the clouds of war, and the first clear day after the snow came, and the long-lost moonlight came to the earth.

Under the glow of snow, Kyoto in the north of Dameiji is set off like a fairy tale world.

Huang Taiji obviously has never heard fairy tales, and he doesn't bother to listen to fairy tales, let alone have an innocent heart.

For him, the better the Ming and the Ming in Kyoto, the more difficult his situation became.
