Chapter 226: Victory in the First Battle
If it weren't for He Kegang, Wang Li wouldn't know that Wu Sangui was so romantic!
Unexpectedly, three mansions were purchased in Dalinghe, Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and there were no less than twenty concubines!
followed Wei Zhongxian, and it was really fragrant and spicy!
However, you're only three mansions, that's a fart!
Keep your eyes open and see clearly!
The Song brothers and Cao Wenzhao, who are following me, which one is not richer than you?
Besides, Sun Chuanting, who has been my subordinate for a few months, will get a reward of more than 3 million!
Not to mention three, it's enough to buy thirty mansions!
Of course, I'm talking about ordinary mansions!
If it is such a spectacular mansion as the Funing Hou Mansion, it will cost a million!
Didn't I say you, don't you just raise a few concubines, is it necessary to be so nervous?
Besides, Guan Ningjun is a border army, and his family is already with the army!
For a general at the level of "general soldier", it is not a big deal to bring a few concubines in the camp!
I, the "Admiral of the West Factory", came here this time to fight, not to investigate corruption!
You are Wei Zhongxian's person, even if you investigate corruption, you can't find your head!
When we find a chance to get you, let's copy it slowly!
Belch...... So, you don't have to be nervous!
"But...... O Governor King...... There are 30,000 Eight Banner soldiers outside the city, all of them are heavily armored iron cavalry!
We only have 25,000 in total, how can we be the enemy? ”
Wu Sangui persuaded again, Wang Li was a little displeased!
looked Wu Sangui up and down, and once wondered if history was written wrongly!
Didn't the history books say that Wu Sangui before the Qing Dynasty was a rare fierce general?
Why are you becoming timid now?
Didn't Wei Zhongxian say hello to him, why did he become disobedient?
Could it be that he has become the only seedling of the Wu family and has become a life-sparing!
Or, knowing that he was the culprit who killed Wu Xiang, he wanted to make a stumbling block behind his back?
Probably not, right?
Isn't this guy's city quite deep?
Didn't he ask for war again and again a few days ago?
That's it!
It may be that at the end of the year, the soldiers have relaxed a little, and it is really not suitable for war!
But well......
"Don't worry!" Wang Li put down the tea bowl and said: "I have already checked out, the leading soldiers outside the city are Dai Shan and Ji'er Harang, who are more than brave but lack of strategy!"
Besides, I'm not fighting against it today!
After you get out of the city, if the Eight Banners soldiers do not chase after them, then the soldiers will divide into two ways and feign to attack Quang Ninh and Xiping Fort!
If the Eight Banners are chasing after them, then join forces and go straight to Liaoyang!
In short, you have to attract the Eight Banners as much as possible!
Once you've done that, wait for the next step! ”
As soon as Wang Li explained this, Wu Sangui finally relieved himself, and immediately led 5,000 horsemen out of the city with He Kegang, and the momentum was huge!
Originally, Chen Qiyu had already planned everything!
The reaction of the Eight Banners soldiers outside the city was beyond Chen Qiyu's expectations!
Wang Li was also puzzled!
Normally, the main force of the Eight Banners went to North Korea, and the Ming army with 30,000 troops to contain the Daling River should be very empty in its rear!
Whether the Ming army kills Guangning, Xipingbao or Liaoyang, Daishan and Jierharang should be in hot pursuit!
At the beginning, the Eight Banners did chase it!
However, it didn't go far!
When it was dawn, they all withdrew to Da Ling River!
Then, all of them were stationed in the camp as if they were all right!
Three days later, the Ming army out of the city ran out of grain and grass and was forced to return;
When passing through the Eight Banners barracks, Dai Shan and Zilharang turned a blind eye!
That's a little weird!
Guangning and Xiping Fort are the outposts of the Eight Banners attacking the Daling River, and there are a large number of grain and grass materials!
The Ming army killed, but they didn't care about it?
This one...... Jurchens and Mongols, it seems that there is no such thing as "New Year's vacation", right?
Leave your rear alone, your guts are too fat, right?
Depressed!
I wanted to take advantage of the main force of the Eight Banners in North Korea to bite a piece of meat from Daishan and Jierharang, but I didn't know that the other party was not fooled!
That's it, if you don't fall for it, don't be fooled!
In this New Year, the Eight Banners did not threaten Cao Wenzhao, and I am also happy to be quiet!
Hello, hello me, hello everyone!
Wang Li was too lazy to bother, but Chen Qiyu didn't think so!
"Changgong, Quang Ninh and Xiping Fort each have 3,000 defenders, and our cavalry has no siege equipment, so there is no threat!
Daishan and Zilharang weren't fooled, they just blamed me for their poor planning! ”
"It doesn't matter! There is a chance, next time I will take his dog's life! ”
Wang Li replied casually, but Chen Qiyu was not satisfied: "The Eight Banners did not move because Guangning and Xiping Fort were not under substantial threat!" ”
"Uh...... Yes, it should be! ”
Wang Li replied casually, as if he had no intention of sending troops again.
Chen Qiyu hesitated for a moment and continued to speak: "Factory father, what if...... Let's really capture Quang Ninh or Xiping Fort, Daishan and Jierharang, and dare not move? ”
"Poof......
Wang Li was suddenly startled, and the tea he had just drunk in his mouth squirted several feet away!
Do you want to capture Quang Ninh or Sai Binh Fort?
Are you kidding?
If you really want to attack the city, you will definitely need a large number of foot soldiers!
Not only do you have to come to the city, but you also have to transport a large number of siege equipment!
No matter how bad it is, there must be at least dozens of bamboo ladders!
The most important thing is that Quang Ninh is more than 80 miles away from the Daling River, and Xiping Fort is even farther away!
Have you thought about the difficulty and risk of marching on foot?
A few days ago, you instigated me to send troops, which was a "guerrilla warfare" of cavalry against cavalry, which was intended to tear apart the defense line of the Eight Banners and wait for an opportunity to annihilate a part of the enemy army!
This kind of "guerrilla warfare" does not need to fight hard with the soldiers of the Eight Banners, it will be fought when there is a chance, and the troops will be withdrawn if there is no chance, there is no risk!
Now, you, in fact, instigated me to send foot soldiers to attack the city?
I don't want to think about it, so far away, icy and snowy!
If the foot soldiers really dare to go out of the city, they will be chased by the Eight Banners!
Unless, send enough cavalry to cover!
If this is the case, the initiative is no longer in your hands, and the decisive battle with the Eight Banners is inevitable!
If the Eight Banners are defeated, they will lose up to 30,000 soldiers and horses, and there will be no harm!
If the Ming army is defeated, the loss will be all the elite!
Next, the entire Guanjin defense line will collapse!
If Shanhaiguan loses it again, Zhu Youjian will go to the coal mountain in advance!
It's so risky to think about!
You want to be rewarded for your meritorious service, but I want to make a few more years!
I don't do anything to kill me!
However, Chen Qiyu's next words made Wang Li's attitude change instantly!
This one......
Since he is sure of winning, it is not a bad idea to give it a try!
Anyway, being idle is also idle!
So, do him another vote?
So, in the evening, the Ming cavalry went out of the city again!
Just like a few days ago, the leaders of the troops are Wu Sangui and He Kegang!
Heavy armor, about 10,000 troops!
Because he received the letter from the "inside line", Dai Shan drank a little wine leisurely, and didn't take the Ming army seriously at all!
Anyway, that dead eunuch was bluffing, so why should he lead him by the nose?
But, then again, that dead eunuch is really insidious!
A few years ago, when the Ming army was building the Daling River, the dead eunuch used this trick - taking advantage of his main force to go out, and then attacking the military camp at night, causing thousands of dead and wounded!
A few days ago, if the news of the inner line had not arrived in time, or if the troops had not been withdrawn back to the camp in time, it was very likely that they would have been recruited again!
Dead eunuchs! The cold weather doesn't stop!
But it doesn't matter!
As long as the soldiers and horses are concentrated in the camp, carefully guarded, and constantly respond to all changes, the dead eunuch will have no chance to take advantage of it!
But...... This time, it doesn't seem to be the same!
After the cavalry left the city, they did not gallop to the east, but put on a defensive formation and slowly moved forward!
I'll go!
The foot soldiers are out of town, too!
With a siege ladder!
Like, still carrying a cannon!
But how can there be such a small cannon?
If it weren't for the cannon, it wouldn't be that big!
I'll go! Dozens of big cars are also out of town!
Normally, the car is loaded with either grain and grass, or cannon pellets!
It's not a small battle!
What the hell is going on?
"Report ...... Lord Belle, someone outside the camp sent an urgent letter! ”
Hearing this, Dai Shan was overjoyed and quickly took it.
What?
This time the military order was issued in batches, and the inside line did not know?
It's a bit depressing!
Could it be that his inner line is suspected?
It shouldn't be!
As a commander-in-chief, how could he be easily suspected?
That's it, let's stay put, lest you fall for it again!
Big deal, they're going to attack Quang Ninh or Sai Binh Fort!
With so much snow and so many supplies, you can't go far in one night!
Just send someone to follow and keep track of what's going on!
What? Do you want to go out of the camp and harass?
No, absolutely not!
Wouldn't it be self-defeating to attack and harass at this time?
Hey!
The dead eunuch covered the foot soldiers with cavalry, and he looked stable, but he was actually looking for death!
Wait for them to walk dozens of miles, and then press them with all their might!
At that time, his cavalry dared not fight?
If the cavalry escapes, it is just time to torture and kill the foot soldiers!
Scold!
10,000 cavalry, 5,000 foot soldiers!
Not a single one can escape!
This time, I will definitely make a meritorious service!
……
The snow is too thick!
In two days, the Ming army only walked out of more than 30 miles!
Judging by the direction, the goal is Quang Ninh!
Almost, it's time to get your hands dirty!
"Zilharang!"
"Lord Belle, how do you say to fight?"
"I'll leave you 10,000 horsemen, and you must defend the camp!"
"But ......"
"No, but!
That dead eunuch, do you really think I don't dare to fight?
He lured me into battle with his footmen, and I fulfilled him!
Rest assured, after I defeat the Ming army, I will return to the camp immediately!
Before that, no matter what the Ming army moves, it must not be able to hold out! Otherwise, you will be fooled! ”
"That'...... Just according to Lord Belle! ”
Zilharang, the sixth son of Prince Heshuozhuang Aixin Jueluo Shuerhaqi, is the only non-imperial direct descendant of the Eight Iron Hat Kings!
Dai Shan, although he has a lot of disagreements with Huang Taiji, but after all, he is the eldest son of Nurhachi!
When leading the troops back to the Daling River, Huang Taiji repeatedly told him to obey Dai Shan's command!
Therefore, although Zilharang has different opinions, he can only obey military orders!
For cavalry, the distance of several tens of miles is not too far!
Even if the snow was difficult to walk, Dai Shan caught up with the Ming army before evening!
The Ming army only has 10,000 horsemen, and he is 20,000 horsemen!
And the foot soldiers of the Ming army are waste in front of the cavalry!
It's a burden that drags down the cavalry!
After going around the "square circle array" of the Ming army, I soon found a hole in the defense!
Even if there are no loopholes, it doesn't matter!
The elite Eight Banners warriors have the advantage in strength, and the soldiers are divided into four ways, just rush!
After annihilating or scaring off the cavalry, slaughter the foot soldiers one by one, it's as simple as that!
The formation of the Ming army does have loopholes!
The strength of the Ming army is indeed inferior to that of the Eight Banners!
There should be no suspense in this battle!
However, as soon as the two armies clashed, the Eight Banners were subjected to artillery fire and were blown to pieces!
Dai Shan, who rushed halfway, was completely stunned!
Hurry up and stop the war horses and carefully observe the enemy!
I'll go!
The Ming army is too bold!
The two armies were more than 60 feet apart before they opened fire, was it too late?
However, there was a strange howling sound in the air, it was like a ghost crying wolf!
What the hell is this voice?
I'll go! The distance between the two armies has shrunk to more than a dozen zhang, and the Ming army is still firing artillery!
Wrong!
In addition to the round cannon balls, the Ming cavalry was also throwing another strange thing!
They slammed it on the horse's back and threw it over!
Then, it exploded!
Could it be that that thing is also a cannon ball?
Can it be blown up without ignition?
However, that's the gunball!
Moreover, in the gaps of the cavalry, in addition to countless firearms, there are also many foot soldiers, who are also knocking that strange cannon pellet!
In the thick smoke in the sky, Dai Shan raised his eyes and looked at it, and his whole body trembled with fright!
It's amazing, it's amazing!
In the sky, the cannon pellets are as dense as raindrops, and they are still falling!
This firepower is almost ten times that of Jinzhou and Ningyuan!
No matter how many Eight Banner soldiers rushed up, they were also blown up!
The range of dozens of zhang is all shrouded in artillery fire!
Countless Eight Banners warriors were blown up!
Dai Shan has been in the army for decades, and he has never seen such fierce artillery fire!
Finally realized that the infantry of the Ming army was not trying to attack the city, but to lure themselves in!
"Report ...... Lord Belle: My camp in Daling River has been captured by the Ming army!
Zilharanbel is leading the soldiers and horses back here!
Behind him, there were more than 10,000 Ming cavalry in hot pursuit! ”
"Huh?"
Dai Shan's heart was stunned, and he twisted the messenger's neck: "Zilharang has 10,000 iron horsemen!" My camp is impregnable! How could it be easily captured? ”
"Back to Lord Belle, it's because ...... Because...... The artillery fire of the Ming army was too fierce, not to mention hundreds of guns, and bullets rained down!
If you don't abandon the camp again, the whole army will be wiped out! ”
Hearing this, Dai Shan powerlessly loosened the messenger's neck, sweating like rain!
The words of the Messenger are certainly true!
The question is, where did the Ming army get so many cannons!
In the sky, the terrible howling continues!
A deafening explosion that shows no signs of abating!
Nima!
This battle can't be fought!
If the Ming army that followed Jilharang arrived, wouldn't he have been wiped out!
Not to mention that the whole army was wiped out, even if there were three or five thousand injuries, it would be difficult to explain to the emperor!
He was already dissatisfied with himself, and he just had an excuse!
What about his own achievements?
Mang Gurtai and Amin, aren't they great achievements?
And what about their results?
Remove! Remove! Evacuate!
