Chapter 512: Out of the City! Combat!
On the contrary, because of the relationship of interests, they were reluctantly twisted into a rope, and they came to the Ming Dynasty with ambition to grab a vote, the eight banners of the various departments, some of the Mongolian robbers who took advantage of the fire, and the oppressed armored slaves.
It is also because of the relationship of interests, not that the spoils are unevenly distributed, but that there is no dirt to share, and they have become thoughtful.
These subtle forms do not seem to be the factors that dominate the direct victory or defeat of the war, but with the holder of the psychological A certificate of Chongzhen, which is very directive, but moistens things silently, it becomes very fatal.
At dawn on the second day of the second month of February, Huang Taiji drove the whole army out of the Xiangshan military camp and into the wilderness, ready for a decisive battle. He himself mounted his horse in armor and led his cavalry over the phalanx of infantry and drove straight forward.
His purpose is very simple - to take advantage of the fact that the Ming army has not yet gained a foothold outside the city, to impact its military formation, cause it to disperse, and then cover up and kill, according to the previous situation that the Ming army retreated and was defeated like a mountain, the Ming Jing Division may also be defeated in a battle.
This is the biggest reason why Huang Taiji has been repeatedly played by Chongzhen, but he insists on waiting for this decisive battle.
Another factor is that because the Ming army relied too much on firearms, artillery and other weapons, both the speed of moving divisions and the speed of arrays were far inferior to the Eight Banners Army, which was relatively poorly equipped with weapons!
Yes, Huang Taiji is more eloquent than his father, and he has to admit that the firearms of the Ming army have far exceeded his imagination.
So in addition to improving the armor and increasing the cotton armor, he also spent a great deal of money to build an artillery unit.
Among them, there are two Hongyi cannons purchased from Shang Kexi.
This is the biggest trump card!
In addition to some tiger squat cannons that were "bought and sent", there were also those previously captured from the Ming army. I didn't know about maintenance before, and scrapped a lot, and then Shang Kexi sent a few "professional maintenance personnel" to him......
"This is Lao Tzu's biggest trump card!" In the darkest hour before dawn, Huang Taiji looked at the dark night sky and smiled, as if a person who had been in the dark for a long time had not seen the light for a long time, it was a dawn in the sky.
This firearms unit was arranged by him alone on an extremely secret high ground.
"These cannons are said to come from a place in the far west called Italy!" Huang Taiji was leisurely fascinated.
He also had the whimsical idea of replacing the artillery mounts of these cannons with camels and donkeys.
Not to mention, flesh-and-blood legs are faster than these iron wheels that need to be pushed by manpower.
When the Ming army was still out of the city, they ordered the animals to squat on the ground, set up cannons, and aimed them far away.
Huang Taiji personally supervised the battle and attempted to launch a surprise attack on the Ming army that was coming out of Guangqumen.
However, he failed, and Man Gui and Hou Shilu firmly wedged their positions under the city, like two hard bones, and the Eight Banners Army did not gnaw them down for more than half a month, especially what could be broken in this short time.
Coupled with the scout's report, the only cavalry of the Ming people commanded by Yuan Chonghuan - Guanning Iron Cavalry, after a long time of uncertainty, finally Shenlong saw the head and came to the distance of Guangqu Gate to pay homage to the king who went out of the city to fight!
As far as Huang Taiji knew, this decision of King Xin of the Ming Kingdom, although very risky, brought him great fame, the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and the people's desire was aspiring, and its intensity even exceeded that of the Hongwu and Yongle eras.
But I didn't see this group of excited guys rioting, and they still silently did what they had to do.
"That's the rule! It's a rule that Daming has accumulated for more than 200 years! Daming has been weak for many years and is crumbling, but this rule has played a very key supporting role. I Jurchen want to emulate the Ming Dynasty and eventually surpass the Ming Dynasty, there is still a long way to go! Huang Taiji was very envious and jealous of this, and sighed silently.
The miscellaneous troops commanded by King Xin of the Ming Dynasty finally completed the rush out of the city, and the queue marched forward neatly and slowly, and under the escort of the two armies of Mangui and Hou Shilu, they lined up outside the city like a Chinese army.
But that's not all! There were many people who jumped down from the tall city, with only a rope tied around their waists, and with a roar, a large number of war horses came around the city in an orderly manner, and they happened to be ridden on the backs of these martial artists.
Huang Taiji looked around in shock, and suddenly noticed that there were many people near and far around him, and in the morning light, it was full of the light of soldiers.
"Cunning Ming people!" Only then did Huang Taiji know that he had been tricked, and when all his energy was focused on Guangqu Gate, the Ming army in the city had passed through the remaining eight gates and secretly Chen Cang.
Scouts kept coming to report - Zu Dashou of Lugouqiao, Zhao Shujiao of Tongzhou, and Mangui outside Guangqu Gate.
The three major general soldiers of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, one of whom called himself the governor of "Yuan Shuai", were all present.
In addition to these, there is also the Dengliao Army Zhang Pan! The Daimyo Mansion Tianxiong Army Lu Xiangsheng!
Flag hunting, clear flag!
Jinyiwei, the East and West Factories, all went out of the city in whole or zero, just like the one in the Shaobao period.
In the city and at the head of the city, only the soldiers of the three battalions were firmly guarded.
The only one who didn't play the banner was probably the grass guard commanded by the big bull!
But these grassroots roots rooted in the soil are more ruthless than anyone else!
Small groups of cavalry, a large number of scouts, were gradually reduced in the-for-tat confrontation with them.
Huang Taiji was finally shocked to learn of the existence of this force.
The folk forces in the northwest that he had worked so hard to contact, even if they had the intention to grow with his strength, were firmly suppressed by Sun Chuanting's ancient Qin army at this time, and with the cooperation of Hong Chengchou and He Huchen, they faced encirclement and suppression.
Qin Liangyu guarded the throat of Sichuan and Shaanxi - Dasanguan.
Whether it is a word trick or a king's order, you can only jump in place.
Ningwu Guan Hu Dawei, withdrew eastward, passed through Xuanfu Datong, and joined forces with Sun Zushou in Changping, and also came to the Gyeonggi battlefield to participate in this decisive battle.
The most gratifying thing is that Gu Yanwu, the little guy, is running hard, so as to preliminarily piece together the Qi family army, although it can't catch up, but it is still heading towards the north.
"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband!" Gu Yanwu only used this one sentence to make those veterans of the Qi family army who had extremely rich combat experience abandon the previous suspicion that was cut off in the Jizhen mutiny.
Of course, Shigezhen knew that this naughty little guy who would poke the yellow dog's ass with the handle of an umbrella probably used some legitimate means, after all, if these veterans were not helped, many of them would starve to death.
Before devoting himself to this decisive battle, Shigejin listened to the information sent by his subordinates for the last time.
"The bureau of the cloth, Lao Tzu has laid it out! Whether it is victory or defeat depends on whether the officers and men of the whole army have tried their best to kill the enemy! ”
He took a deep breath of cold and fresh air, and the sword of Ru Qin pointed at the sky, and the whole army began to slowly move.
Forward! Forward!
Yuan Shisan was still wearing the golden cloth armor that belonged to Chongzhen, shining in the morning light.
Chongzhen's armor was pitch black, and it was several feet away from this guy.
When the battle array first converged like a carpet, and then rolled out, Huang Taiji understood that he had fallen into the hands of the Ming army again: the Ming army locked all the eyes of the Jurchens here under the guise of Guangqumen.
Behind the scenes, a large number of army movements were carried out, and through the remaining eight gates of the Beijing Division, many troops were put into the battlefield outside the Guangqu Gate, plus the soldiers and horses of King Qin in various places, as well as the border army of Liaodong.
There is almost a feeling of making dumplings for the Eight Banners Army, whether the Eight Banners led by Huang Taiji or not care about this tactic, it will become a reality, and this feeling must be very bad.
"Is this called Darkness Chencang?" Huang Taiji gritted his teeth with hatred.
"Yes, it's called Darkness Chencang. A very old idiom, the most basic application. Soldiers are treacherous, and many times it's that simple. ”
Chongzhen knows that Huang Taiji advocates Chinese culture, so there is this dialogue in the air.
Why doesn't Chongzhen look down on the Eight Banners people like most Ming people?
Because of how cowardly and incompetent even these noble children were at the end of the dynasty.
In the end, don't you have to rely on Hanchen to support the whole world? Yuan Shisan, a strong man, pointed the fine iron spear diagonally forward, and the quaint weapon of this young man from Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty seemed to have become the order of the Ming army.
Unlike any previous war, following the initial offensive state of the Battle of Salhu, the Ming army finally began to advance towards the tribes outside the pass again after ten years of defense for ten years.
It's just that the war has changed from outside the customs to inside the gates.
Chongzhen uses a variety of methods to tell everyone: you can't go back anymore!
Kitamamoru! Must be guarded in the north! To defend the man's promise to defend the country!
Once they retreat, once they are weak, even if they retreat to Nanzhili, the Jurchens will drink the Yangtze River!
"The first time I entered the Central Plains, the Yellow River failed to stop the Jurchens, and the Qiantang River did. So do you think that the Jurchens who entered the Central Plains for the second time will still be stopped by the Yangtze River and the Qianjiang River?
At that time, the Jurchens will use our output in the north to take away the last piece of land that we have to wait for! After two hundred and sixty or seventy years, the entire territory of China will fall for the second time! ”
The serious questioning, loud and loud, echoed in the hearts of every soldier who struck forward.
The luck psychology of moving south and Gou An was ruthlessly exposed by him. Shame gives rise to infinite power.
At the head of the city, the drums of war are repeated once and again. People's footsteps on the earth are incomparably neat, as if the earth is a war drum, and the feet of tens of thousands of Ming soldiers constitute two drumsticks.
Zhou Yuji and the others unconsciously remembered the time when they beat the war drums in Fuling, Shenyang.
The heart beats like a war drum, and everyone who moves forward bravely, whether heroic or cowardly, is full of blood.
Seeing this, Huang Taiji just sneered: "Let's rush!" Let's go! Wait until you get out of the cannon bombardment of the city, and see how Ben Khan slaughters you mercilessly with his cavalry! Don't be so heroic as you rush now, how completely you'll break up later! We must insist more, lest my Eight Banners cavalry don't even have a chance to perform! ”
One-step! Two steps! Three-step ...... The Ming army advanced step by step, step by step.
One-step! Two steps! Three-step ...... The Eight Banners retreated step by step, and every step seemed to be greatly humiliated.
