"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

In Zhending City, the drums were thundering, and a fierce battle was breaking out on the walls of Zhending at this time.

In the east of Zhending City, thousands of Qing troops lined up outside the city, in front of the Qing army's large array, two tall blue armor Lazhang Jing flags, one left and one right, stood on the field in the eastern suburbs, accompanied by the strong wind blowing and hunting.

Around the two blue Jialazhangjing flags, there are countless blue and white flags, like an ocean.

The Qing army was galloping with a large number of rangers, and the wings were guarded by Mongolian rangers, most of whom wore fur and fur, and the armor on their bodies was relatively much older.

Most of the horses under the seat do not wear horse armor, and most of them only have a pair of stirrups and saddles.

One after another ladders were attached to the city wall, and the top and bottom of the ladders were densely packed with moving heads, and one after another slave soldiers were trying to climb up.

The slaves were thinly dressed, and many of them were not wearing armor, so when the arrows from the city attacked, their thin clothes did not give them much protection at all, and they were directly shot down the ladder.

Several openings had already been opened on the city wall, and a steady stream of slave soldiers were surging up the ladder at the gap.

"Get out of here!"

A man dressed in bright silver and white armor and wearing a high-topped helmet kicked away the slaves in front of him.

Divide the Paishku is also known as the son, the Chinese translation is the meaning of "leading and urging", and the best of the vest is selected as the leading urging, and the secretary is registered and paid.

Ling Xuan is the adjutant in Niu Lu, and his status in Niu Lu is second only to Niu Lu Zhangjing.

The shape of the armor on his body is very similar to that of the Ming army, but in fact, it is actually imitated by the elite of the Liaodong Army in the Ming Dynasty.

The nail piece is outside, not painted, polished and polished, bright as a silver plate, called Ming Jia.

The armor is distinct, like three winters of ice and snow.

Of course, now the armor of the Qing army has begun to change differently from the armor of the Ming army, which is not obvious in the body armor, but the helmet has changed.

The Qing army still wore a high-topped helmet, but the top of the helmet was different from that of the Ming army, and it was equipped with a high-topped decoration like a lightning rod.

The needle on the top of the head of the Pashku was hung with a black tassel, and a two-foot-square back flag was also carried on his back.

On his side, several Qing army horse armor soldiers wearing cotton armor nailed with copper nails and high-topped helmets with sharp needles on their heads, holding swords and shields to protect them behind them.

The military system of the Qing army and the military system of the Ming army were slightly different, in the army of the Qing army.

Soldiers in the army are mainly divided into three ranks, from bottom to top, in order, guards, infantry armor, and horse armor.

The Niu Lu soldiers were also called armor or armor soldiers, and the Ming army was called armor.

Ordinary Jurchen men, starting from the age of ten, take an exam every three years, and if they meet the standard, they are guards, followed by infantry armor, and then horse armor.

On the vest is Paishku, which is selected by the winner in the vest, and is based on the registration and salary, and Pashku is translated as a leader.

Pashiku is the son, also known as the distribution of Pashku, which is the later Qing Dynasty called the Xiao Riding School.

On the allocation of the Shi Ku is Niu Lu Zhangjing, which is the head of a Niu Lu 300 soldiers.

The smallest unit of the Eight Banners is the Niulu, and the Manchus take hunting as their business, and every year during the harvesting season, they take the clan or village as the unit, and are headed by a famous person.

This form of organization of collective hunting based on blood and geography is called cattle recording.

Niu Lu is not only a kind of social organization, but also a unit organization during combat.

There are 300 households in a full number of cattle records, and each household draws a strong man, and the full number of 300 people is a cattle record, and the amount of cattle records is really one person.

The father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother dies and the younger brother dies, just like the guard system of the Ming army.

To understand it simply, Niu Lu Zhangjing in the Qing army can be understood as the general general, and the distribution of Paishku can be understood as the deputy general general.

Paishku is the general of the hundred, the vest and the like are the flag general, and the infantry is the captain.

The rest of the guards and slaves corresponded to the ordinary soldiers in the Ming army.

"A soldier ascends the city!"

The white-armored Fende Pashku held the sword in his hand, pressed forward suddenly, and gave the order to attack again with a Manchu cold voice in his mouth.

The siege had been almost five days long, and there were not many defenders in the city.

Most of the defenders of the city were people who had been temporarily recruited in the city, but they attacked for several days, but they still failed to break through the city, but suffered three or four hundred casualties.

Although most of the casualties were the auxiliaries and followers in the Niulu, these auxiliaries and followers were also valuable people in the Niulu, and it was not a small loss if they were broken.

There was a fierce glint in his eyes, and he turned his head to look south.

The Malay newspaper reported that the Ming army was galloping from the southwest, and its vanguard was already approaching the Hutuo River, and the rough estimate was that the number was above the crowd.

There were only three of them in total, and there were only about 4,000 people in total, including the Mongols in the ranks, as well as auxiliaries and followers.

After the Eight Banners system was set, Wuniu was recorded as a Jiala, and a Jiala Zhangjing was set up, that is, a staff leader.

There were 1,500 people in the first Jialaman formation, which was almost the same number as the number of ordinary Ming troops in the first battalion, and the actual number fluctuated greatly.

If you insist on converting it into an official position in the Ming army, Jia Lazhangjing is almost equivalent to the weak battalion generals in the Ming army who are at the level of garrison and guerrilla, and those who are strong are battalion generals at the level of staff generals and general soldiers.

On top of Jiala, there is also a solid mountain, and a solid mountain is actually a flag.

Take Wujiala as a solid mountain, set up a solid mountain Ezhen, a deputy person, called the left and right Melle Ezhen.

Gushan Ezhen, as the commander of a banner, manages the household registration, production, upbringing, training and other matters of the whole flag.

Gushan means "flag" in Chinese, and Ezhen means "Lord", so Gushan Ezhen is directly translated as a trace of "Banner Lord".

However, although Gushan Ezhen has the same meaning as the flag owner, it is not the real flag owner, but the next level of the flag owner.

Gushan Ezhen is still the subordinate of the banner owner, and the two sides have a master-servant relationship between superiors and subordinates, and the command of the troops is still in the hands of the banner owner, and it is actually more appropriate to regard it as the deputy of the flag owner.

Originally, when Huang Taiji was not yet the emperor, there were only eight banners in the country.

In the ninth year of Tiancong, that is, in the eighth year of Chongzhen, after Huang Taiji conquered the Chahar Mongols and other tribes, he carried out a large-scale compilation and review of many Mongolian tribes, and completely changed the system of annexing the Mongolian grassroots.

The Mongolian tribes were united and divided into eight banners as Niulu, which was later known as the Eight Banners of Mongolia.

In the second year of Chongde, that is, when Chongzhen was ten years old, the Han army flag was added as two flags, and the flag color was blue.

Up to now, the Qing court has eight banners of Manchuria, eight banners of Mongolia, and two banners of the Han army, a total of 18 banners, that is, 18 solid mountains.

According to Niu Lu 300, Jiala 1,005, and Gushan 7,05, 18 banners are 135,000 people.

Of course, the number of soldiers that the Qing court has today is naturally not this number.

The number of people in each of the eighteen banners of the Qing army is different, the number of people is more or less, some are strong and some are weak, and it is naturally impossible to be just full.

"Woo————"

The sound of a low horn sounded, and there was no deafening shout of killing, no earth-shattering shout.

Under the city of Zhending, those Qing army armor soldiers who were originally hidden behind the shield cart and shot at the Ming army defending the city also moved, they put down the bows and arrows in their hands, held the shun knife on their waists, and buckled the thick cowhide shield.

The defenders went first, the infantry followed, the vests followed, and the guards pressed into formation.

A group of soldiers of the Qing army methodically climbed along the ladder towards the city of Zhending in accordance with the preset order.

The so-called protectors are actually Bai Bayala, that is, white armor soldiers.

Those who wear chain mail and cotton armor inside, polished and polished bright silver armor on the outside, and white armor, wear three layers of heavy armor, carry a heavy bow, carry a knife, hold a tiger gun, and match a round shield.

During the period of the old slaves, Hou Jin drew 100 Dingkou per cow, and selected 10 white Bayalas, 40 red Bayalas, and 50 black battalion soldiers.

The White Bayala and the Red Bayala were the predecessors of the Manchu Protectors and Forward Battalions in later generations.

After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he began to gradually reform the military system and eradicate ills, and the systems such as the White and Red Ba Yala were gradually abolished.

During the Tiancong period, Huang Taiji established the Bayala camp, and the Bayala camp of each banner was centrally managed, and each banner had a Bayala camp.

The chief officer of the Bayala battalion was Baya Lajun Ezhen, and Tiancong changed his name to Baya Lajun Zhangjing in the eighth year.

The Ao worship in the Lu Ding Ji was originally the Baya Laxu Zhangjing inlaid with the yellow flag.

The Qing army changed its name, but the Ming army still referred to these guards as white-armored soldiers, or elite soldiers and sharp soldiers.

Standing at the foot of the city, he did not fear for his own safety at all, not only wearing three layers of heavy armor, but also armor soldiers with cowhide shields around him.

The Ming army on the city wall had already been shot and couldn't raise their heads, and they didn't dare to appear at the battlement.

As soon as the battlement appears, it will be killed by the Qing army's infantry archers who have already drawn their bows and arrows and are waiting for the battle.

The distance of dozens of steps is the best killing range of the heavy bow in the hands of the Qing army's infantry archers.

They had been living a life of fishing and hunting before they came out of the white mountains and black waters, and the long-term fishing and hunting life made almost every adult Manchu man have good bow skills.

At a distance of thirty or forty paces, they can even easily shoot at the enemy's face and throat.

Because of this, the Qing army has always occupied a great advantage during the field battle and the battle between attacking and defending the city.

At the beginning of the confrontation, the Ming army defending the city shot at the Qing army according to the narrow battlement, and suffered a big loss, and then did not dare to pop out the battlement mouth to shoot arrows.

Just waiting for the Qing army's armor soldiers or followers to climb the ladder, they will release arrows from afar.

The intensity of the Qing army's attack was not strong, because every manpower was very important to the Qing army, and if it could be defeated, it would be fought, and if it could not be defeated, it would retreat, mainly to plunder.

Seeing that most of the Ming army rushed to help, the Qing army generals who attacked the city issued an order to attack, and if they couldn't beat it, they were not ready to attack Zhending City again.

The siege of Zhending City has reached a white-hot stage, the armor of the Qing army launched an attack, and even the defenders have already begun to climb the city with swords.

There are not many defenders in Zhending, and most of them are temporarily recruited people.

There are very few people with armor, and most of the swords, guns, and guns in their hands are in stock in the arsenal.

But the battle had already reached this time, and the militia and generals defending the city were also ruthless.

Jiannu is fierce, the city will be slaughtered, the knife will not be sealed for a few days, and the captives will be taken to the bitter cold land of Liaodong.

Once the city is broken, it is a broken house, and all the militia are real residents, and their wives and children are all in the city, even if they have not been on the battlefield before, which one is willing to retreat at this time.

And it seems that a large number of reinforcements have arrived outside the city, as long as you hold on a little longer, you can keep the city!

……

At this time, the commander of the Qing army outside the city, Jialazhang Jingcha Suka, who was under the blue banner, was also holding the reins and standing in front of the big array.

But his eyes did not focus on the city of Zhending, which was fighting not far in front of him, but looked in the direction of the southern suburbs of Zhending.

There was something wrong with the Ming army coming from the south of the city, this Ming army was in distinct armor and impressive, and a killing atmosphere came from a distance, which was completely different from all the Ming troops they had seen along the way.

"West Side ......"

Cha Suka frowned slightly, he had seen the map of the Ming Kingdom, the west of Zhending was Taihang Mountain, and he had reached Shanxi after crossing Taihang Mountain.

These Ming troops came all the way from the west, and the appearance of the wind and dust may be the border troops on the side of Shaanxi and Shanxi.

Liaodong, Xuanfu, Datong and other border towns of those generals and schools can still fight, and the rest of the Ming army is just waste.

After so many years of fighting, the courage of the Ming army has long been frightened, and they dare not come out to fight with them at all.

But the current situation is obviously not right, and this Ming army brings a dangerous feeling to Chasukha.

It's like ......

It's like the Sichuan army that I saw when I was in the Hunhe River, which is said to have come from the southwest of the Ming Kingdom......

A chill slowly rose from the depths of Chasukha's heart, and then spread to his head, feet, and limbs.

Even though more than ten years have passed, that bloody battle is still vivid.

At that time, he was just an ordinary infantry armor, and they fought one after another along the way, defeated all the Ming troops who came to the rescue, and broke Shenyang!

But on the banks of the Hunhe River......

By the time Chasuka came back to his senses, the golden sound had already sounded in the array, and the soldiers who had gone to attack the city had already retreated.

After all, they still failed to capture Zhending, and the reinforcements of the Ming army were close at hand.

The cavalry that went to block the Ming army from crossing the river had already turned back, and they were not able to stop the advance of the Ming cavalry.

In the southern suburbs of Zhending, the vanguard cavalry of the Ming army had already spread out their positions and emptied the riverbank.

After that, the cavalry of the Ming army was crossing the river to the north......

……

(There is no charge below)

Nurhachi's edict in April of the eighth year of the Mandate of Heaven:

Khan sent a letter saying: "Each ox records a hundred armored soldiers, with ten people as Baibayala, carrying two cannons and three guns. ”

"Then divide the ninety armor soldiers, and the forty armor soldiers shall be the Red Bayara, carrying ten cannons, twenty guns, and ten men, carrying two shield chariots, and two water bottles."

"Fifty men of the black battalion, ten cannons, twenty guns, and twenty men with two shield carts, a ladder, two chisels, two adzes, two fishing hooks, two sickles, two axes, four collars, two forks, a clamping stick, two water bottles, and fifteen pairs of charcoal and cotton armor for the month. Each horn carries two cannons. ”
