Chapter 114: Shooting Fan Wencheng (Seeking Collection, Seeking Reading)
Although Fan Wencheng has limited military experience, he has a very flexible mind and racks his brains to reflect his value in front of his master.
finally thought for a while and said: "The nearly Wanming army that has just arrived, although the formation is strict, it should be very tired.
I remember the information I got in Shenyang, they had few horses, wore armor, held swords, and marched hundreds of miles in a hurry, and it was already the end of the crossbow. ”
"Hahaha, what the gentleman said is exact!"
Huang Taiji was very pleased.
He was experienced in battle for a long time, and he was good at observation, and found that although the Ming army was in a neat formation, his legs and feet were filled with lead, and he was obviously very tired.
Fan Wencheng analyzed from the intelligence of the spying, and he had a deep understanding of the Ming Kingdom, and he also came to this conclusion.
The two have their own angles, but they coincide.
Suddenly, 20 people ran down the hillside, half of them holding birds, half of them holding torches and carrying a bird's guns.
Wang Hongyu, Zhao Hannian and other 10 people in the army with accurate marksmanship stopped when they ran 150 steps away from Huang Taiji, and immediately raised their bird guns to aim at the target.
The fire-bearers next to them lit the fire rope, and with the sound of the fire rope "zizi", they pulled the board machine.
"Bang!"
Ten guns fired in unison.
Seeing all this, several guards immediately stepped forward, raising their shields as the first layer of defense, and using their bodies as the second layer of defense to block in front of Huang Taiji.
"Sir, be careful!"
The moment the gunshot rang out, Huang Taiji shouted to remind Fan Wencheng, who was unprotected beside him.
"Bell, bell, bell!"
4 shots hit the shield, and the distance of 150 steps failed to penetrate these iron shields?
"Poof!"
A shot hits, and a burst of blood floats out.
Fan Wencheng fell off the horse in response.
Wang Hongyu's eyes were staring at him, and the remaining 9 shots were to beat Huang Taiji, but they were bound to be blocked by the guards.
Only his own shot was aimed at the big traitor.
Sniper Fan Wencheng~
The white flag guards hurriedly blocked their vision with their shields, and Huang Taiji also quickly dismounted and disappeared behind the shield wall.
"Boom, boom!"
At this moment, the Fran cannon, which was reluctant to waste ammunition, opened fire.
The artillery was not high-pointed, but it also hit one of the shield walls, killing and wounding at least a dozen of them.
Zhengbai Qi hurriedly retreated rather embarrassed.
The Southern Army won the battle to subdue the outskirts of Tieling.
Qin Ling had also contacted Zhang Quan, the Liaodong Inspector, and delivered the news at a critical moment at this time. Zhang Quan persuaded Yuan Yingtai to lead an army of 60,000 from Liaoyang out of the city and make a feint attack on Jiannu's hometown of Hetunara.
As a suspicious soldier harassing Liaoyang, there are only more than 6,000 people with red flags, who dare to resist the 60,000 Ming army, and they are so frightened that they retreat back to the Hetunala Mountains.
After Nurhachi found out, he knew that his most elite two yellow flags, if he ran a long distance to Tieling, then Hetunara would be in danger.
Therefore, he immediately ordered Huang Taiji, Mang Gurtai, Amin and others to retreat.
The winter of the forty-eighth year of Wanli.
5 months after the death of Emperor Wanli and 3 months after Xiong Tingbi left office...... The Southern Army, which they had high hopes for, brought this long-awaited victory.
......
It's the New Year.
With the efforts of Yuan Yingtai, the front-line Ming army ate and drank well for a good year.
As a logistics expert, Yuan Yingtai's skills in this area are unmatched.
In addition, the Donglin Party recruited the generals, and a bunch of "integrity" in the court supported him, with silver, grain and grass, ordnance, and clothing.
It was all silver, millions of taels of silver.
With the death of Wanli, Taichang succeeded to the throne and directly gave 2 million taels.
Then Taichang died, and the Donglin Party and the British coerced the Apocalypse to make great achievements immediately after taking control of the government.
Now several million taels of silver have been allocated to Yuan Yingtai from the state treasury.
Yang Hao and Xiong Tingbi in front of them did not have as much money as Yuan Yingtai.
Assuming that Salhu dragged on until the summer and concentrated more forces to attack, although it would not be a sure victory, it would never be a crushing defeat.
As a result, in order to save those silvers, tens of thousands of main field troops were lost, and two important trade areas of Kaiyuan and Tieling were lost, and nearly 10 million silver was invested.
There is no regret about the past.
At this time, Yuan Yingtai's performance made a special mention of this victory, and the battle of Tieling only accounted for a quarter of the chapter, and the rest was the glorious record of leading the Liaoyang army and defeating the red flag.
Nearly 2,000 enemies were killed, and it was not written that it was a blue flag, so the court thought that it was Yuan Yingtai's victory against the red flag.
reported the result of the big victory, and the Donglin Party also smiled happily, spending so much silver from the treasury, and giving a result that could be obtained in less than half a year.
Then keep spending~
The Donglin Party allocated another amount of money to Yuan Yingtai.
The theft of military generals' merits by civilian officials has intensified after Tumubao, and at this time Yuan Yingtai did this, and the governor Xue Guoyong and the chief soldier He Shixian felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Assuming that Zhang Quan, Chen Ce, the commander in charge of Liao, and others argued, relying on the Donglin Party, Yuan Yingtai's performance would definitely become a so-called "fact".
Then there will be civil and military discord on the front line, and Jiannu will die happily.
Therefore, Zhang Quan, Chen Ce, Zhou Dunji, etc. led first but did not start.
Yuan Yingtai also has some officialdom brains, and he robbed the Southern Army of the credit, but he also had to give some benefits in the future.
He gave a lot of money and materials, and promised to be promoted next year.
In addition, Sun Qing, who was captured alive, was dealt with by him in a seemingly high-profile manner, but in fact in a low-key manner.
Sun Qing himself was dragged to Liaoyang City, exposed his crimes of spying, and beheaded the nine sides.
However, many of Sun Qing's soldiers and horses were not severely punished, but were placed under He Shixian's command and rewarded as the first general in Liaodong.
Zhang Quan, Chen Ce, Tong Zhonghua and others tried to persuade Yuan Yingtai to withdraw the order
As a result, spies and swingers are only temporarily deterred, but not dealt with.
During this time, Wang Hongyu was not like Yuan Yingtai and other civil officials, busy figuring out the checks and balances of officialdom, nor like He Shixian and other military generals, who relaxed and ate and drank during the New Year.
He concentrated all his strength and seized every day before the real decisive battle to improve himself and his soldiers.
One outpost light cavalry was completely annihilated, and two more sentry light cavalry were built with horses captured from the blue flag.
But no matter how much the numbers are restored, those good brothers from before will not be able to come back......
Burying Ma Biao's head with his own hands, Wang Hongyu made an oath: He must make Huang Taiji and Zhengbai Qi pay the price of their lives.
Hundreds of Kaiyuan refugees who had a blood feud with Jiannu were also summoned, plus hundreds of refugees who had been screened and inspected for several months, to form a 1,000-person auxiliary team.
In addition to making up for the weakness of the limited manpower of the Yugoslav army, it can also give full play to the advantages of being familiar with the local situation and language.
With 1,000 soldiers and 1,000 auxiliaries, the strength of Wang Hongyu's command has already exceeded 1,000 generals, approaching a battalion of soldiers and horses in the guerrilla battalion under the command of the guerrilla general.
At this time, according to the battalion system of the nine sides, a battalion of soldiers and horses was about 2,000 to 3,000 people.
The battalion is divided into a pacesetter battalion, a regular battalion, a surprise battalion, a reinforcement battalion and a ranger battalion.
The pacesetter battalion is under the command of the governor, the governor, and the general soldier of a town.
At present, on the Liaodong front, only Yuan Yingtai and He Shixian each have a standard battalion of 3,000 soldiers and horses.
Generally, the general army is directly under the command of the main barracks, the deputy general is the odd barracks, the general reinforcement barracks, and the guerrilla battalions are guerrillas.
At this time, Wang Hongyu had made outstanding achievements in war, and it was only a matter of time before he was promoted to guerrilla.
