Chapter 192: Killing the Ming Army was caught off guard
At the beginning of the next day, it was a cool time.
The sound of trumpets and drums sounded in the camp of Jiannu.
Immediately, the leader of the gang made a fire to make food, and then each flag and battalion ate one by one.
After breakfast, in addition to the troops who stayed behind in the main camp, each banner and battalion left the camp one by one and began to line up in the southwest corner of Yunlong Lake to set up a large formation.
At this time, if the Ming army had confidence in itself, they would follow it out of the city for field battles.
That's what the Dashun army did in Shanhaiguan at the beginning, and went out of the customs to fight with the Jiannu and Guanning armies.
If you lack self-confidence in yourself, then honestly huddle in the city and wait for Jiannu to come to the door, and then rely on strong city defense facilities to kill and frustrate Jiannu.
Naturally, the Ming army would not go out of the city to fight in the field.
Jiannu was also mentally prepared for this.
The horn sounded, and the flag gate of Jiannu opened.
Duoduo slowly came to the front of the formation with Rolohun, Lectohun, Hauge and other banner lords Baylor.
Looking around, I saw that as far as the eye could see, there were all kinds of armor stomachs of the Eight Banners, the banners waving in the wind were like the overlapping peaks of the hometown of Hetuala, and the countless spears piercing the sky were like primeval forests.
The fierce and murderous aura of the Eight Banners was almost rushing in the face.
"Prince Yu." Luo Luohun turned his head to look at Duoduo and said in a deep voice, "Have you figured out how to fight?" ”
"How to fight this battle, this king has already made a decision." Duoduo smiled, the soldiers of the Eight Banners slept soundly last night, but he slept very late, and he had been thinking about how to fight Xuzhou.
It wasn't until the beginning of the ugly season that he finally chose his tactics.
"Oh, really?" Lucketthun asked curiously, "How do you play?" ”
Duoduo didn't answer and asked: "The battle of Salhu is the battle of the founding of my Qing Dynasty, you should all be familiar with the whole process of the battle of Salhu, right?" ”
Twenty-five years had passed since the Battle of Sarhu.
The Eight Banners nobles who participated in this war are either dead or in their twilight years.
At this time, most of the leaders who led the expedition were the second or third generations of Jiannu, and the eldest of them, Haoge, was only ten years old in the year of the Battle of Sarhu, so he did not participate in the battle for the founding of the country.
But not participating does not mean that they are not familiar with this battle.
They have heard it from their parents and grandparents many times.
"Why is it the battle of Salhu again?" Luo Luo Hun said.
"Let me ask you, how did Old Khan win this battle?" ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Luo Luohun didn't have a good breath and said, "Of course, Ren Er came a few ways, I only went all the way, the reason why my Qing Dynasty won this battle for the founding of the country was because of the old Khan's tactics!" ”
Duoduo said: "Then let me ask you again, which is the most critical battle in the battle of Sarhu?" ”
"Of course, it's the battle to destroy the Juniper Ministry!" Lucked said without thinking, "The Juniper Department is the most elite of the Four Ming Army, and there are a large number of brave Zhejiang soldiers in the army!" Lao Khan concentrated all his forces to destroy the Juniper Department in one fell swoop, which was equivalent to pulling out the sharpest fangs of the Menghu of the Ming Dynasty, and also made a good start for the entire war. ”
Duoduo said in an accentuated tone: "Then let me ask you again, how did Old Khan defeat Juniper all the way?" ”
"What are you doing, Dordor? These are all stories we have heard since childhood! Luo Luohun was already a little impatient, but he still replied with a dark face, "The reason why Old Khan was able to defeat Juniper this way is because it was dusk, and there was fog again, and the Ming army was forced to raise torches, but I still couldn't see my Eight Banners warriors. ”
"And my Eight Banners warriors can see the Ming army."
"Then the old Khan took 500 Bayala soldiers as the vanguard, and broke into the Ming army's Sarhu camp in one fell swoop......"
Speaking of this, Luo Luohun suddenly reacted, and said with a condensed expression: "Duoduo, do you want to follow the example of the old Khan, use the Baya soldiers as the vanguard, and kill the Xuzhou Ming army by surprise?" ”
"That's right, with Bayala soldiers as the vanguard, the Ming army was caught off guard."
Duoduo said: "Last night, this king has already thought twice, if we rely on the Eight Banners Han Army and the red-clothed cannons, push forward step by step, and pull out the platforms on the periphery of Xuzhou one by one, it will take two or even three months at the earliest, which we really can't afford, because we don't have so much food and grass." ”
Hearing this, Haoge finally couldn't help it and questioned: "Even if you want to kill the Ming army by surprise, it seems that you don't need to send Baya soldiers, right?" Red armor is enough! ”
Hauge could guess with his toes that if he really wanted to send out the white armor soldiers, it must also come from his blue flag, and it was definitely impossible for Dorgor to send troops with his own white flag and Dorgon's white flag.
Therefore, for the sake of the blue flag and his own interests, Hauge can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Because the Zhenglan Banner was originally the weakest of the Eight Banners, there were only 30 Niu Lu, and there were only 300 white-armored soldiers, and every loss of these 300 white-armored soldiers was a great loss for the Zhenglan Banner.
"Prince Su's words are wrong!" Duoduo said abruptly, "The tiger fights the rabbit and still tries his best, although the Ming court is weak, but the elite of a country gathered in Xuzhou, my Qing Dynasty naturally has to dispatch the most elite Baya soldiers, which can not only minimize the loss, but also ensure that it can break into Xuzhou City in the shortest possible time!" ”
Luo Luohun, Luck Dehun and other Baylors also echoed: "That's right, the reason why my Qing soldiers were able to quickly destroy the Ming army of Juniper was also because Lao Khan transferred 500 Baya soldiers to the front!" ”
Hauge did not dare to oppose it again, and to oppose it again was to question the old Khan's strategy of employing troops.
Luo Luohun said to Duoduo again: "It's a good idea to take the Bayala soldiers as the vanguard to kill the Ming army by surprise, but have you thought about which direction to launch the assault?" ”
"There!" Duoduo stretched out his hand and pointed, "Yunlong Mountain! ”
"Uh, Yunlong Mountain?" Luo Luohun and Lucketthun were stunned.
Hauge secretly admired it, for he had seen the cleverness of Dord's move.
To put it bluntly, no matter how powerful the Baya soldiers are, it is impossible to continuously penetrate the more than ten defense lines outside Xuzhou City, if they are really desperate to fill in the Baya soldiers, even if they fight all the 3,000 Baya soldiers, they may not be able to advance to Xuzhou City, then it will become a brute force and a blind fight.
Hitting Yunlong Mountain is different, this is a good breakthrough.
Because judging from the defensive formation of the Ming army, it only needs to break through the double platform to advance to the southern foot of Yunshan Longshan, and then you can launch an upward attack on the Ming army guarding the mountain.
Then as long as the first hill is taken, there is a high probability that the Ming army on the next few hills will collapse, even if the Ming army does not collapse, it is nothing, from the plain to the mountain hunting, this is the favorite battlefield of the Eight Banners warriors.
After capturing Yunlong Mountain, the Qing troops could directly advance to the southeast corner of Xuzhou City.
It can even be asked that the Eight Banners Han Army carry the red-coated cannons to Yunlong Mountain.
Then set up the red-coated cannon from Yunlong Mountain, condescendingly bombarded Xuzhou, at that time, the Ming army could not gain a foothold on the city wall in the southeast corner, and the Qing soldiers could attack the city of Xuzhou without much effort.
That is to say, Duoduo reduced the Ming army's twelve-fold defense line to a three-fold defense line.
Breaking through 12 layers of defense in a row is completely different from breaking through 3 layers of defense.
Although Luo Luohun, Luck Dehun and other Baylors are young, their brains are not stupid, and after a little thought, they also figured out what was powerful, and they no longer questioned it at the moment.
Duoduo immediately shouted: "The king of this book will order, the blue flag, the red flag and the red flag Baya soldiers as the forward, the blue flag as the front team, and the red flag flag as the rear team, immediately attack Yunlong Mountain!" ”
"Huh!" The princes of Baylor and Baya Lajang agreed with a bang.
……
The Ming army in Xuzhou was already in full array, including the border army on Yunlong Mountain.
Jin Shenghuan took more than a dozen scholars and more than a dozen generals, and at this time stood solemnly on the ninth peak of Yunlong Mountain in the wind, and behind him were Ruan Dacheng and the blowing class and Youling of the National Disaster Opera Troupe.
The war is coming, and it is impossible to continue singing again.
Because even if the troupe continues to sing, the border soldiers are not in the mood to listen to it again.
Therefore, Ruan Dacheng took the musicians of the blowing class and Youling to stand on the top of the mountain, shouting and cheering for the border soldiers, which is estimated to be the second time after Liang Hongyu that Youling has played drums or shouted cheers for the border soldiers.
At this moment, Jin Shenghuan was undoubtedly very worried in his heart, because Yunlong Mountain was likely to become a breakthrough for Jiannu.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Jian Nu can't directly attack Yunlong Mountain for the time being, because beyond the ninth peak standing at his feet, there are two platforms.
In other words, Jiannu must first break through these two platforms,
Only then can he launch an upward attack on the ninth peak of Yunlong Mountain, which he is guarded by Jin Shenghuan.
Even so, Jin Shenghuan still felt inexplicably uneasy, and turned his head to ask the tall scholar beside him, "Xu Xiucai, is the red-clothed cannon okay?" ”
Xu Yingwei was the leader of the twelve soldiers who were transferred to Jin Shenghuan, the border army of the town.
These twelve soldiers were also responsible for controlling the two Hongyi cannons on the top of the mountain.
As for the artillery instructor Qu Shawei, after adjusting the Hongyi cannon, he hid back in Xuzhou City.
"No problem." Xu Yingwei responded, Xu felt that it was not imposing enough, and then added in an accentuated tone, "When the time comes, you will see the performance of our artillery team!" ”
In normal times, Jin Shenghuan may praise a few words.
But at this moment, Jin Shenghuan no longer has such a mood.
Because Jiannu has already started to attack, and the direction of the attack is Yunlong Mountain!
Amid the sound of horns, one after another rolled out of the Jiannu array, all of which were made of hardwood, covered with cowhide and iron sheets, and were not afraid of fire and lead.
At the same time, the Jiannu on the left and right flanks also gave way to the formation.
After Jiannu moved out of the way, the Hongyi cannon behind him was revealed.
I saw that the Jiannu gunners had sledgehammers and hammered them into the ground.
After fixing the Hongyi cannon, the Jiannu gunner inserted the red-hot iron drill into the fire door.
Immediately, clouds of white smoke rose up in front of the Jiannu array, and when I looked at the five platforms that were attacked, I saw that there were piles of dust rising on the slope protection in front of me.
