Chapter 427: Dingding Decisive Battle II

"When the battle starts, it is both superior and life-or-death."

Chen Cao shook the spear in his hand, looked at the artillery flying towards the Qing army's charge, and rode a fast horse towards him, and looked at it, it was You Shiwei.

"Your Majesty..."

Chen Cao looked You Shiwei up and down, and then asked, "How was the battle?" ”

You Shiwei clenched his fists: "The minister is guilty, the number of Tartar cavalry attacking Xiao County is seventy or eighty thousand, and he caught a tongue, and the leader of the army is confirmed to be the Tartar Su Prince Haoge rebel, they launched an attack around Chenshi, but it was a feint to attack Xiao County, in fact, the main force is all coming to the battlefield, and the minister immediately led his troops to pursue after discovering it, but he was surrounded by the Tartars on the periphery. ”

"What about the losses?"

"The minister is guilty, and the current ministries are combined, and it is estimated that there are about 30,000 people."

Chen Cao nodded and said thoughtfully: "That is to say, the cavalry has lost its combat effectiveness. ”

You Shiwei immediately replied: "Although the ministers were entangled by the Tartars, they also relied on the manpower of the old army of Yulin to get out of the entanglement, and they had the help of the firearms of the brother troops in front of the formation, so they withdrew to the right rear of the large formation with the large army, and now the ministers are letting them rest, and they can charge again after recovering their horsepower in a moment." ”

"Haoge..."Chen Cao pondered for a while, thinking of the scene of the first meeting with Haoge in Liaodong, and then thinking of the brave deeds of beheading Murhaqi back then, and sighed: "It seems that the final decisive battle is still on the cavalry's side." ”

The shouts of killing gradually rose, so that Chen Cao had to look towards the middle of the battlefield.

You Shiwei spoke: "Your Majesty, the ministers are brave and brave. ”

Chen Cao turned his head to look at You Shiwei and said with a smile: "It's not you, it's your department who is charging with me." ”

"Your Majesty... Down..."

"Raise your gun..."

"Put..."

"The whole regiment is free to fire ..."

"All units support the forward positions, with the company as a unit, and replace them in turn..."

"Beware of the Tartar artillery..."

"Hit, hit their Wuhan Iron and Steel car..."

"Go to the artillery position, ask for an artillery strike in front of the formation..."

"Shoot..."

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

"On the bayonet ..."

Yan Chun shouted loudly, his position had been broken through, and those Han army flags and green battalion soldiers had poured into his position like a tide.

Liang Huanming saw Yan Chun, who was a hundred meters away, rushing into the crowd of Tartars with the remnants of the soldiers of the guard regiment and the defenders of the position.

The positions that extended for two miles were all broken through, and Chen Cao could see it clearly, the left front of the battalion had fallen into a stalemate of hand-to-hand combat, and the casualties on both sides could not be estimated.

However, at this time, Chen Cao had no way to make people support, and there had been no large-scale battle in front of Cao Shixiu's formation, which was enough to prove that Abatai had not yet moved, and Haoge's cavalry was two miles away, and before the cavalry moved, You Shiwei's troops could not move, and now it could only be seen whether Liang Huanming's troops could help Yan Chun block the Qing army's attack on the left flank, and none of the troops on this side could be mobilized.

"Your Majesty, Commander Song asks for instructions on whether to send troops to support the position of the 8th Division?"

Chen Cao shook his head lightly: "Tell Song Che that the position of the 8th Division can only rely on themselves." ”

"Your Majesty...", another herald arrived: "The herald of the 8th Division rushed to the artillery position and asked for the artillery to be extended to the forward position. ”

The people around him were all cold, Yan Chun was a choice to die with the enemy.

Chen Cao thought for a moment, and then said: "Order the artillery array to extend the artillery fifty steps in front of the forward position of the 8th Division to block the follow-up attack of the Qing army." ”

"Yes..."

"Your Majesty, the left flank position is lost, and the minister thinks it is better to reinforce first."

Chen Cao shook his head and said: "Abatai is waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting for reinforcements, but he is waiting for me to show his flaws, although the battle on Cao Shixiu's side is fierce, but you can see clearly if you look closely, the enemy on the front did not send out all his strength, Abatai still has spare strength, on the contrary, the offensive on the left flank is fierce and abnormal, I conclude that Hauge's cavalry will charge in the front, of course, provided that Abatai acts." ”

"Your Majesty..."A herald arrived on horseback, and immediately saluted: "Your Majesty, there is a war in Yunlong Mountain, and there is a Tartar army attacking the position of our army in Yunlong Mountain. ”

Chen Cao sorted out his thoughts, compared the strength of the enemy and us again, and then said: "You go back and tell Cao Wenzhao to abandon the Yunlong Mountain position, let him and Li Xiukuan launch an attack on the invading enemy together, and destroy the invading enemy at all costs, and then order their troops to rush to the main battlefield immediately after the battle is over and surround the left flank of the Qing army;

In addition, after the two of them arrived at the battlefield, they did not have to wait for my order to immediately launch an attack on the left flank of the Qing army. ”

"Yes..."

Chen Cao looked at Zhao Xin and said: "Send people to Xiao County immediately, after the Haoge cavalry left, order Zhao Wenhui and Han Xianchu to lead their troops to the main battlefield and launch an attack on the right flank of the Qing army, the same reason, no need to wait for my order." ”

"Yes..."

The arrangement of the rear was only orderly, and above the position of the 2nd Division, Song Che and Cao Shixiu looked at the two sides that were fighting fiercely in the forward position, and Cao Shixiu said: "Military seat, Abatai has not gone all out, and his cavalry has not yet been launched." ”

After Song Che received Chen Cao's order not to support the left flank position, he conducted an analysis of the situation on the entire battlefield, and came to a conclusion that was basically no different from Chen Cao, but now the right flank of the large array has not moved, which is not a good thing for the Qing army's tactics that he is familiar with.

"Abatai's cavalry has not moved from beginning to end, and the right flank of our army is safe and sound at the moment, which is unreasonable with the tactics of the Qing army, and I believe that Your Majesty has expected this matter for a long time."

"Military seat, Your Majesty has an order, Huang Degong and Lou Xingye, the two division commanders, support the frontal battlefield, and the soldiers and horses have arrived at this moment."

Song Che turned his head to look at the adjutant beside him and said, "You go to see Your Majesty in person and mention the emptiness of our army's right flank again." ”

After Chen Cao listened to the report, he looked at You Shiwei and said: "I know the emptiness of the right wing, so I will leave you here, I am going to leave a vacancy for Abatai in the direction of the right wing, and give him a reassurance, so that he will launch a general attack with all his heart;

It's just that I'm not sure about the specific situation of the right wing, so you have to die in this battle. ”

Only then did You Shiwei realize that the emperor was thinking about these things, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will definitely go all out." ”

"It's not going all out," Chen Cao shook his head: "I charge with you, I can only win, not lose." ”

You Shiwei took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and rode away.

Chen Cao looked at Zhao Xin: "Arrange manpower to send Huang Chunyao and all these civil officials out." ”

After everything was arranged, Chen Cao moved the plate armor that he had just put on his body, then hung the spear on the side of the saddle of the war horse, and tightened the belt with the long knife with his left hand: "Zhao Xin, do you remember the first time we killed Tartars in Liaodong?" ”

"I remember." Zhao Xin's blood surged.

"This time, I'll take you to rush again."

The shouting and killing in the distance suddenly became violent, Chen Cao did not look, at this moment, the Qing army on the frontal battlefield had launched a general attack on Cao Shixiu's position under the command of Abatai, and Cao Shixiu was not ambiguous at all, behind him was the troops of Huang Degong and Lou Xingye who had arrived, especially Lou Xingye's department, which had not participated in a battle from beginning to end.

Dozens of war horses quickly moved not far behind Chen Cao, and the You Shiwei brothers rushed first, followed by Zu Dashou and several other cavalry generals.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have finished resting and are ready to act at any time."

Chen Cao turned his head to look, there was a black pressure behind him, then nodded, and rode out first, rushing towards the right flank of the big array.

Abatai and the three sons Shang Jian, Bo Hetuo, Bo Luo three brothers led two blue flag cavalry 20,000 people, Han army banner 10,000 people, 60,000 horses, under the leadership of Abatai, at the moment of the beginning of the general offensive to the right flank of the Ming army, the purpose is only one, under the cover of the left flank and the frontal battlefield, with the right wing as the main direction of attack, as long as the Ming army's defense line is broken, you can quickly intersperse the entire Ming army's large array, once the plan is successful, this battle is to grasp the absolute initiative.

On the other hand, on the frontal battlefield, after Yu Shiwei broke away from Hauge's entanglement, Hauge quickly moved to the frontal battlefield with his cavalry, took over the command of Abatai, and joined forces with Zilharang to launch an attack from the front.

The whole situation, it seems that the left wing battle is the most intense, but in fact, the key to occupy is on the right flank, and the frontal battlefield is extremely difficult and densely populated, but it is a good game to fight a protracted battle for the two yellow flags, plus there are Zilharang's troops on the front, it is also a good choice to resist the Ming army.

After Hauge and Abatai combined, they thought that as long as they were on the two roads, no matter which way they succeeded, they could win the battlefield, so they had to choose to fight like this, and give up the strong Xuzhou City, also because considering that the Ming army's sailors and warships were extremely sharp, trapping the lonely city was the Ming army's pawn.

The field battle is the main battlefield of my Qing Dynasty.

Xuzhou, naturally, is the perfect place...

"Amma..."The eldest son Shang Jian came quickly: "Amma, the Ming army has arranged a large number of cavalry on the right flank. ”

Abatai had already thought of this layer in his heart, after all, it was the Ming Emperor's personal expedition, and it was impossible to deliberately leave such a big gap in the right flank, even if the troops were insufficient, it was impossible not to leave the right flank undefended: "Unexpectedly, the cavalry of the Hauge kid explained the army and left soon after engaging with them, thinking that the Ming army could not have so many cavalry, how many people were?" ”

Shang Jian shook his head: "I can't see it really, but the number of people is estimated to be between one hundred and twenty thousand." ”

Abatai felt a little relieved in his heart: "I have two elite blue flags, and the elite of the Han army flag has never been dispatched, one person and three horses, after the charge, the momentum is shocking, even if he has 20,000 cavalry, he is not afraid, Bolo, the man with the Han army flag is out to fight." ”
