Chapter 120: The Ming Army's General Attack Plan (4K+ Grand Chapter)
At this time, the battle was approaching, and Wang Hongyu suggested making a certain number of paper-wrapped bullets.
Paper-wrapped rounds are filled with black powder, and when the arquebusier loads, he can simply bite through the paper packet to introduce a certain amount of gunpowder into the chamber. Avoided the drawbacks of pouring out of the powder jug from the gunpowder pot after each shot according to experience.
The Zhejiang soldiers, the Sichuan soldiers and the auxiliary soldiers made 30,000 rounds of arquebus paper-wrapped ammunition together, and the rest of the black powder was mixed in four parts, and the rest was stored separately in carbon, sulfur and nitrate.
There is so much gunpowder, of course, because of Yuan Yingtai's first transportation capacity in the late Ming Dynasty, and the strong support of the Donglin Party with the treasury to Yuan Yingtai.
Yuan Yingtai was also in good spirits, and asked the imperial court to officially promote the generals in the future.
Tong Zhonghua, the deputy general of the Southern Army, was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Liao Army. Liang Zhongshan, You Shilu, and Jiang Bi were all promoted from deputy generals to general soldiers.
Wang Hongyu was formally appointed as a guerrilla general to aid Liao, and the guerrilla battalion was formally established.
In addition, a person named Bao Chengxian was also transferred from Liaoyang to Shenyang City to replace the vacancy after Sun Qing's death.
After hearing this, Wang Hongyu couldn't be happy at all.
killed a Sun Qing, and another Bao Chengxian appeared.
This guy is a big traitor with a high status in the future, and he hasn't found this person before, but he didn't expect to be sent to Shenyang at this time......
Yuan Yingtai was confident about the personnel arrangements, and he also made a general attack plan for three months later.
He wrote to the imperial court, with 180,000 soldiers, under the command of ten generals, and launched a general attack in two ways.
There were 180,000 troops, and each of them had been properly arranged.
Shanhaiguan 20,000 for backup, Jinzhou and Ningyuan each 10,000 for supplies, and Jinzhou and Fuzhou in the south 10,000 for the response. The 50,000 that add up to this will not directly participate in the battle if they are far away from the front-line battlefield, but they are enough to stabilize the situation and protect logistics.
In the direction of Shenyang, He Shixian, You Shigong, Li Bingcheng, Chen Ce, and Tong Zhonghua are 5 generals.
With Qi Jin, Zhou Dunji, Zhang Mingshi, Wu Wenjie, Zhou Shilu, Ran Yuelong, Qin Bangping, Qin Minping, Lei Anmin, Yuan Jianlong, Wang Hongyu, as well as Ke Rudong, Bao Chengxian and other more than ten generals. A total of 60,000 soldiers were attacked.
In the direction of Liaoyang, a total of 4 generals such as Zhu Wanliang, Liang Zhongshan, Hou Shilu and Jiang Bi were headed, with more than 10 generals such as Zhao Shujiao, Zu Dashou and Wang Shike, with a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses for the general attack on the South Road.
In the direction of Guangning, with the general Li Guangrong as the general, with nearly 10 generals such as Zhang Shenwu, Liu Qu, and Luo Chengyi, and 20,000 soldiers as backup, they followed up with the attack.
On the civilian side.
Ben Jinglu and the patrol Zhang Quan, the supervisor Gao Zhu, Xing Shenyan, Niu Weiyao, Hu Jiadong and others all attacked with the two armies.
Xue Guoyong, the governor of Liaodong, and Wang Huazhen, the right senator, followed up with the soldiers and horses of Guangning, and took over the defense of Liaoyang and Shenyang after the departure of the soldiers and horses of the two general attacks.
With such elite soldiers, there is no reason to be invincible!
Yuan Yingtai was an incorruptible, capable and benevolent person, who stabilized the contradictions between the Liao soldiers and the guest soldiers in his hands, sheltered a large number of Liaodong and Mongolian refugees, and expanded the army by tens of thousands.
Now that the people of Liaodong are aspiring, I, Yuan Yingtai, will achieve achievements that Zhuge Wuhou can't reach.
After stepping on the peace, the military power of the world will gradually fall into the hands of our generation of ministers, and there are Donglin sages and sages in the Ying Dynasty, and the best era for scholars is coming~
Yuan Yingtai, who is immersed in self-absorption, will soon have a bad news that completely exceeds expectations.
……
"What! The main force of Jiannu went straight to Liaoyang City? ”
Yuan Yingtai's pupils shrank in shock.
Isn't it time for me to attack Jiannu? Why did Jiannu dare to come and beat me?
Oops, it's not what was planned......
Yuan Yingtai had never been to the battlefield in person after all, and now when he heard that the enemy was coming towards him, he was both panicked and excited.
The plan was disrupted again, and the whole person couldn't hold his breath, and kept pacing around the house.
The scribe looked at Yuan Yingtai's panicked appearance and panicked, forgetting to emphasize that the information was possible, not the news.
Yuan Yingtai panicked for a while, and gradually thought about it, feeling that he could do it again~
Shenyang has an army of 60,000 and has defeated the blue flag twice, and Jiannu is already afraid.
There are only 50,000 soldiers in Liaoyang, and his own commander is here, and Jiannu wants to fight with himself desperately.
Definitely for this reason.
However, who gave Nurha the courage to dare to attack Liaoyang City.
This is the largest city in eastern Liaodong, and it is also the strongest city. The wall is more than a foot high, and there is a wide moat!
Just Jiannu didn't have a siege weapon, so he used his head to fight Liaoyang City?
Unafraid!
The advantage is in me~
Nurhachi is afraid of the southern army in Shenyang, so I will transfer the southern army over~
After making up his mind, Yuan Yingtai showed a confident appearance and concealed the truth in his heart.
"The order went down, the Liaoyang army was fully prepared, and all the soldiers and horses quickly entered the city to defend.
It is also necessary to immediately send orders to Chen Ce, Tong Zhonghua, and Qi Jin's southern army, so that they can rush to Liaoyang and prepare to fight to the death with Jiannu! ”
"Yes!" The scribe immediately went to convey Yuan Yingtai's order.
Liaoyang City and Wai immediately carried out Jing Liu's order.
Liaodong Inspector Zhang Quan was outside the city to inspect the combat readiness of soldiers and horses, and when he heard the enemy's situation, he rushed to Jingluo Mansion as soon as possible, but as soon as he entered the city, he heard that Yuan Yingtai had given an order.
Don't you even consult with us!?
Are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated!?
Jingluo's reaction was too hasty, and Zhang Quan secretly screamed "not good".
When he arrived at Jingluo Mansion, Yuan Yingtai had already put on a suit of armor and held a shield in his hand, walking on the street to encourage and comfort the people.
Yuan Yingtai thought in his heart that the people must have felt relieved when they saw that Ben Jinglu was by their side before the battle.
But I don't know what the people think, even the Liaodong Jingluo has put on armor and held a shield with his own hands, and the situation is already very, very dangerous!
Rumors are already spreading, and some spies are deliberately spreading, laying a huge hidden danger for the future shaking of people's hearts.
Zhang Quan dragged Yuan Yingtai into the mansion and restrained the anger in his heart as much as possible: "Yuan Jingluo, Jiannu may just be coming towards Liaoyang, but it is not within 100 miles of Liaoyang."
"Isn't this also to inspire the people and the army?" Yuan's argument was rather weak.
"Then why don't you discuss it with Zai Xia and the four commanders of Liaoyang City, and then order the whole army to return to the city and transfer the southern army?"
Zhang Quan was most angry about this, because the soldiers and horses should not be transferred easily, especially when it comes to the Shenyang front on the other side.
"If the main force of Jiannu arrives, our army will gather the main force first, so that we can break the enemy in a decisive battle. If you are slow to call reinforcements, you may also be surrounded and sent for reinforcements. Therefore, this Jingluo immediately decided to transfer the southern army! ”
Seeing Yuan Yingtai's attitude, Zhang Quan was really angry.
As soon as there is a stir, the strongest main force will be transferred over, in case the sound of Jiannu attacks the west?
He reminded him of this again, and Yuan Yingtai seemed to listen to the suggestion very carefully, but without making any changes, he transferred Zhang Quan to the east gate for defense, and did not let him continue to interfere in the overall command.
......
The Southern Army camp on the south bank of the Hunhe River.
A dull drum beat summoned all the generals in the army to come to the meeting.
Wang Hongyu and other guerrilla generals at and above the level had received an urgent notice the night before, and they were to raise their accounts early the next morning.
Combined with this time period, as well as the intelligence analysis of the Quang Ninh intelligence station, from the exchange of trade and prices, and the Mongols, it is certain that Nurhachi is going to make a big move.
So I found my eldest brother overnight and ventilated.
Walking to Chen Ce's big tent, ten drummers were beating the drums vigorously, and the thunderous sound of percussion urged the generals to gather immediately.
When I entered the camp tent, I saw that in addition to the generals, thousands of households in the southern army also came this time.
Seeing that Zhao Hannian, a soldier from Zhejiang, had also arrived, he had been promoted to guerrilla not long ago, and he was also promoted to a thousand generals.
"General Wang, this time we should be able to break Jiannu again, right?" Zhao Hannian followed Wang Hongyu twice to defeat Jiannu, and now he is highly motivated.
"That's right, but Jiannu won't make the same mistake three times in a row, so this time it's going to be all the best."
Hearing Wang Hongyu say this, Zhao Hannian paid more attention to it. In fact, it was only two battles with the blue flag, one of the Eight Banners, before, and the other main forces didn't make it.
It is impossible for Nurhachi to let one flag fight against the Yugoslav army alone this time.
The white-haired veteran General Chen Ce, the sturdy and mighty Tong Zhonghua and the weather-beaten Qi Jin entered the big account.
Everyone saw it, and the three generals returned the salute.
Chen Ce strode to the innermost general's platform, and without sitting down, he directly faced everyone, and announced loudly: "After receiving an urgent order from Yuan Jingluo, the southern army galloped to the aid of Liaoyang and prepared to meet the main force of Jiannu!"
The generals had serious expressions, they had been in Liaodong for so long, and they had defeated Jiannu twice, and this time it was finally time for a decisive battle.
Tong Zhonghua took the lead and spoke: "Da Ming Wansheng!"
"Daming Wansheng !!"
The momentum has been mobilized, so we must prepare to march south from the Hunhe River in the south of Shenyang to Liaoyang.
Because Yuan Yingtai's military order was very urgent, the generals did not directly question it.
Wang Hongyu beat a drum in his heart, how can he persuade the soldiers and horses not to go out with the whole army, and not to bring all the baggage?
Suddenly, the eldest brother gently patted himself on the shoulder.
Looking sideways, I saw that his expression was very excited, but there was incomparable calmness and determination in his eyes.
The eldest brother gave himself another look at the general's platform.
I saw that Tong Zhonghua also gave himself a look.
Oh, I didn't underestimate the eldest brother, but I didn't expect that the somewhat reckless Tong Zhonghua was also prepared.
Several people have the same idea, I'm afraid Chen Ce and General Qi Jin are similar~
"Now prepare for the marching columns of the various units of the Southern Army."
Chen Ce looked at the generals of the Southern Army present, and his eyes stopped at Zhou Dunji and Wang Hongyu beside him:
"Zhou Dunji and Wang Hongyu, your two departments have repeatedly broken the Jiannu, and you can go to Liaoyang as the vanguard of the front."
"Yes, the last general will definitely live up to his mission!"
"Ran Yuelong, Qin Bangping, and Lei Anmin led the Chinese army slowly with this commander."
"Yes!" This group of Chinese soldiers had his own Guangdong soldiers, as well as Youyang and Shizhu Tusi soldiers, all of whom belonged to soldiers and horses with strong marching ability and could go to Liaoyang and return to Shenyang relatively quickly.
"Tong Zhonghua, Qi Jin, Zhang Mingshi, and Zhou Shilu led part of the Sichuan army and Zhejiang soldiers, while packing up gunpowder and logistics, while alerting the enemy to attack and harass Shenyang, and finally marched to Liaoyang."
"Yes!"
I see, it is worthy of General Chen Ce~
After decades of fighting, of course, you can guess that Nurhachi used a suspicious strategy. But Yuan Yingtai issued a military order for the southern army to rush to help, which had to go.
So how can we not only stabilize the situation in the Hunhe River, but also respond to Yuan Yingtai's task?
There's learning in that.
If it was Zhou Dunji, Zhang Shenwu, Zhang Mingshi or Tong Zhonghua ten years ago, he would definitely be upright and directly disobey.
As a result, he was rectified by civil officials and squatted in prison for ten or eight years......
Chen Ce is an old general after all, and he followed Chen Phosphorus and Deng Zilong to defeat the peak Japanese army of the Warring States Period. What has not been seen in the world?
So he consulted with several important generals overnight to come up with a quick and important response to orders, but the baggage and firearms were not moved.
Zhou Dunji and Wang Hongyu have become famous for playing the blue flag, and they are at the front for Yuan Yingtai to see.
Most of the Chinese troops are Tusi soldiers, who are very mobile and can quickly return to help.
The Zhejiang soldiers, who used a large number of firearms and chariots, did not move for the first time.
In this way, even if the military situation changes, it will be enough to deal with it.
After the meeting ended, Zhou Dunji and Wang Hongyu were specially left behind to continue the discussion.
Wang Hongyu stated his opinion, believing that Nurhachi is likely to be attacking the east and the west.
"Well, Ben thinks so too. Therefore, this time, you can raise more flags in the south, don't be very fast, and reserve your strength to prepare for the march back. Chen Ce also indicated the follow-up plan for this arrangement.
He looked at Wang Hongyu with a little deep meaning, after meeting him in the capital, he gradually appreciated the strength of this marquis in the opposition, the successor of Liu Ling, and the successor of the Sichuan army.
Wang Hongyu was worried about another thing at this time:
"Chen Dashuai, I'm afraid there are spies in Shenyang City, Sun Qingyu didn't clean up the poison before, and there are a large number of Mongolian soldiers, so I think Jiannu is about to attack Shenyang!"
Chen Ce, Tong Zhonghua, and Qi Jin immediately walked to the sand table with the two of them.
Several people were all staring at the defense line around Shenyang, the thirteen places at the core.
Shenyang, Fengjibao and Hupiyi.
These three fulcrums are the horn arrays built during the Xiong Tingbi period.
Xiong Tingbi's strategy to defend Liaodong was to first clear the wilderness with strong walls and block the Mongolian refugees, and then rely on the elite of the Jiubian and Southern armies to station heavy troops, guard dangerous points, support each other, harass tired enemies, and attack with cameras.
He stated that Shenyang's defense is:
"If you don't keep Fengji, Shenyang is lonely; If you don't keep the tiger skin, you will be lonely; The three parties stand together, and if they do not have 30,000 or 20,000 heavy soldiers, they are easy to be shaken, and Liaoyang is lonely. ”
Originally, at least 20,000 soldiers and horses were placed in the three places, but now this is not the case.
Yuan Yingtai thought of a two-way general attack, so he transferred Zhu Wanliang, the general of Hupiyi, back to Liaoyang and became the first general around him.
The defense of the Tiger Skin Station was garrisoned by Li Bingcheng, the commander-in-chief of Fengji Fort.
The city of Shenyang has expanded by nearly 20,000 Mongol soldiers, which seems to be huge, but it has not strengthened the surrounding defenses, and they are busy training and preparing for attack.
Wang Hongyu pointed to the tiger skin post and said: "At present, there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses divided here, and they can defend against the attack of one flag at most, and I am afraid that they will be defeated quickly if they encounter three flags."
Then he pointed to Fengji Fort: "Here you can block two flags from attacking, but it is difficult to block four flags."
According to his own expectations, it is best for Li Bingcheng to shrink all his troops and horses and go to Fengji Fort, so that at least he can block the three banners.
In this way, Fengjibao, Shenyang and the southern armies of Hunhe formed a new powerful horn.
However, plans have not kept up with the changes.
The biggest variable is in He Shixian.
This first general is known for his bravery in battle, and he has a large number of troops, but there are also many spies.
Fishing killed Sun Qing, but his subordinates were taken away by He Shixian, not only that, but there was also one more Bao Chengxian.
Who can save this?
Chen Ce also couldn't do anything about Shenyang, not long after he was promoted, he was very different from He Shixian's right to speak in Liaodong.
But there is still You Shigong in Shenyang City, he is You Shilu's elder brother, and he must be reminded.
There is also Li Bingcheng, although he is not powerful, but gathering soldiers and horses to defend the city can also cause a lot of trouble to Jiannu.
Chen Ce sent two groups of envoys to Shenyang and Fengjibao to send a message, saying that the southern army had received an order to go south to Liaoyang, and reported it to the friendly army to know, and in case of battle, it must be careful.
Then someone among the envoys revealed some news to You Shigong, telling them to be careful and to be careful of spies.
Li Bingcheng reminded him that when encountering the Jiannu army, he could immediately take back the soldiers and horses of Hupiyi to Fengji Fort to avoid the loss of the division of troops.
It can only be reminded to this extent.
After all, no one has the evidence that Bao Chengxian is a spy, and even Chen Ce is at most on the same level as You Shigong and Li Bingcheng, so he can only be a wake-up.
After the arrangements were made, the Yugoslav army set off according to the plan.
Zhou Dunji and Wang Hongyu marched to Liaoyang with great fanfare, but the speed was not fast at all.
Because Nurhachi wants to fight Liaoyang, it is a false move.
The double intelligence of Qin Ling and Lao Tan, as well as the historical progress in his memory, all told him that the enemy would come towards Shenyang.
The bloody battle of the Hunhe River is coming.
