Chapter 74 Battle of Tongzhou 1

Abatai and Hauge didn't sleep well almost all night. The sentry riders patrolled around Tongzhou back and forth, but they could not find the whereabouts of a large number of enemy troops. Instead, there was another group of people who could not come back before dawn, and it was estimated that this group of people would never come back.

Both Abatai and Hauge had a bad feeling. They seemed to be in a thick fog. Suddenly, they were deaf and unclear. They didn't know what had happened around them. This was a very scary thing for the coach, which made Abbatai and Hauge not know the next. What should I do?

Abatai and Hauge discussed for a night. At dawn, both of them's eyes turned red, and their spirits seemed to be a little nervous. After a night's exploration, they still didn't find the enemy's whereabouts, but there was information showing that there were many large and medium-sized troops around Tongzhou, which made it impossible for Abbatai and Hauge to judge. What is the next step of the Dazhong Army? Why did their army not come, but sent so many scouts to haunt them?

After the skylight began to light up, Abatai still gritted his teeth and decided that the plan would not change for the time being. Since no large-scale enemy had been found, they would continue to attack Tongzhou City first. After conquering Tongzhou City, they would talk about what to do next.

And Hauge was very uneasy, but he couldn't judge the action of the Dazhong Army, and it was hard to say anything, so he agreed with Abatai's opinion and took it step by step.

So after dawn, the Jiannu army once again went out of the camp and began to launch another fierce attack on Tongzhou City. A large number of Jiannu troops also spent a lot of time. The Han army's flags and horses that went with the army were almost passively used. They launched a fierce attack on all sides of the walls of Tongzhou City and mobilized all their available. The cannon aimed at Tongzhou and began to bombard.

However, Abatai was finally not stupid. He did not put his main Tartar soldiers into the battlefield, but left it at hand and used it as a reserve for response. While attacking the state city, he sent sent sent senters to patrol in the southeast and northeast directions to explore the movement in these two directions.

Just as Abatai and Hauge's army continued to attack Tongzhou City, Xiao Tianjian led his army to start the last thirty-mile rapid march in the direction of Tongzhou City.

Several slaves were riding ten miles southeast of Tongzhou, staring at the army of the Dazhong army in front of them. They shook their heads and couldn't believe that so many people and horses of the Dazhong army quietly appeared so close to Tongzhou City. At this time, it seemed that the heavenly soldiers and generals fell from the sky to here. At this time, there were a group of large and medium-sized army scouts, urging the horses to roar at the sentry horses of these Jiannu, which shocked these Tsars. They turned the horse's heads crazily and beat their mounts crazily, with panic and shock. He ran towards Tongzhou City like a desperation.

After receiving the emergency report, Abatai was also shocked. What he and Hauge were most worried about happened. The Dazhong Army relied on a large number of scouts and riders to block the battlefield first. In a day, they rushed over from the direction of Tianjin Wei, and now they suddenly appeared under their eyes. On the battlefield of Tongzhou City, this really caught them off guard.

You should know that most of their army is besieging Tongzhou City now, and the only available troops at hand are less than 10,000 soldiers left. If you want to immediately withdraw the soldiers who attack the city and line up to fight against this large and medium-sized army, it is obviously too late. The siege and Field warfare is completely different for the deployment of troops, and it is not easy to mobilize so many people.

Although their slave army has a lot of troops in Tongzhou, even more troops than the large and medium-sized army, at this time, all the departments are scattered around Tongzhou City, and it is impossible to gather these Mongolian soldiers and the Han army together for a while, so Abatai has actually completely lost the owner of the battlefield at this time. It is to move the power, but to respond to the battle in a hurry. With the reserve team at hand, he can first block the offensive of the Dazhong army before he can stabilize the situation.

Although Abatai was shocked, he did not lose his general's demeanor. On the surface, he was as calm as possible. He immediately ordered the slave soldiers under his command to start to take action, with the blue flag-enlaid Ge Bushxian Battalion led by Hauge as the central army, with the Mongolian cavalry and the two Alihachaoha battalions under his command. For the left and right, with the help of the Han army with the red flag of Shi Tingzhu who followed them, they organized more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to bypass Tongzhou City first and kill the Dazhong army that rushed over.

Hauge has nothing to say about Abatai's arrangement. At present, Abatai's arrangement is already the best way. Only by blocking the Dazhong army with these troops first, so that they can make time for the rest of the people to gather and fight with the Dazhong army. That's all. He We only have a chance to win this battle. If they react a little slower and let the Dazhong army rush to defeat the other siegers of the Han military flag and the Mongolian Eight Banners first, then they are likely to lose this battle miserably.

So Hauge did not dare to delay. He immediately summoned the people and began to move towards the south of the city, while a large number of Jiannu cavalry and a small number of Mongolian cavalry protected their two wings and faced the Dazhong army. In a short time, they saw the scarlet Dazhong army rising from afar. The flags and flags, the phalanxes of the large and medium-sized army, began to appear in their vision and pushed towards them without stopping.

This is the first time that Abatai has seen a large-scale large and medium-sized soldier horse. When he looked at it at a glance, he took a breath in his heart. Although he has heard many times about the military plastic surgery of the large and medium-sized army, he did not expect that the large and medium-sized army would be so much. The various phalanxes of the whole large and medium-sized army were arranged. It is extremely neat, and it sounds like a knife. Although it is in the march, the queue of these large and medium-sized soldiers and generals are always consistent. From afar, the sound of the drums of their dense marching drums can be heard. Every phalanx of large and medium-sized soldiers and generals can be said to have stepped on the drums of their marching drums at every step. On the top, even the range of the pace is almost the same, and the whole is moving forward, but it is not messy at all.

For Abatai, a veteran of the battlefield, of course, he knows what it means. Only a strictly trained army can do this. He asked himself. Although he firmly believes that their soldiers are the most powerful soldiers in the world, he can't let his subordinates, these state-building warriors, also work. Follow the example of the Chinese army and do it like this.

Looking at the equipment of the Dazhong Army, you can only see that they have long guns in the distance. The soldiers in the army are equipped with a large number of neat and uniform muskets. In front of each phalanx, there are rows of knife hands, covering their large array with shields, forming a dense shield. Wall.

In addition to the marching army, Abatai and many slave soldiers were also shocked to see that among the various phalanxes of the Dazhong Army, there were also all kinds of artillery, which were also dragged into the battlefield by the Dazhong army. These cannons were obviously difficult to deal with, and the number was even more frightening!

But that's more than that that frightened them. With the appearance of the large and medium army, there were also many chariots in the large and medium armies. In the two wings, they were slowly pushed into the battlefield by the large and medium soldiers. These chariots were inserted with thick plates, and there were two small French cannons on each chariot, and those who accompanied them The soldiers also often hold long muskets, which is similar to the car camp of the Daming army. Once they form a battle, even the most powerful warriors of their slave army will have a headache.

Coupled with the soldiers of this large and medium-sized army, it can almost be said that everyone is wearing armor, which is even more beyond their expectations. Among the slaves, after the era of Huang Taiji, the army is also constantly changing. Gradually, three elite armies have been formed, Ba Ya La Bing, Ali Ha Chaoha Battalion and Ge Bush Xian Battalion. As their out-of-service permanent force, it is also the main force of their troops. In addition, the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion composed of the Han army is used as infantry, but when these soldiers will go on an expedition, the number is far from enough. Therefore, for large-scale military operations like this, they also need to recruit the flags and Aha in the flags. Slaves are used as auxiliary soldiers, so in the Jiannu army, only about 30% of the armored soldiers are really armored, but at this glance, they are all armored soldiers, and it can't be seen who they are auxiliary soldiers, which is also rare for the Guanning Army in the heyday of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, when Abatai looked at it, he was even more shocked. Even when he had seen the powerful Hauge of the Xingtian Army for a long time, he was shocked. In the past two years, in his eyes, the soldiers and horses of the Xingtian Army, which had been renamed the Dazhong Army, were much more strict and more powerful than the last time he saw it. Hauge My heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and I'm afraid it's going to be a big deal today.

But at this point, Abbatai and Hauge have no choice of retreat. Only by leading the soldiers to fight against Xiao Tianjian and defeating the large and medium-sized army directly led by Xiao Tianjian in front of them can they have a chance to save it. At least they have to draw with them can retreat completely. Otherwise, now their troops are divided. In the case of dispersion, once their main force withdraws from the battlefield, the rest of the soldiers and horses that have not yet been gathered will only disintegrate under the front of the Dazhong army!

So no matter how shocked they were, Abatai could only summon up his courage and ordered his soldiers to meet the whole army and fight first.

Xiao Tianjian rode on the back of his BMW. He also wore a shiny gilded steel mountain armor that had been polished and wiped, and wore a blood-red cloak. He immediately looked at the army of Jiannu from afar. After looking at the Jiannu army, Xiao Tianjian showed a trace of his mouth. Disdainful smile, no matter what the matter is, I am most afraid to put it together. Although the Jiannu Army is notorious and known as the most powerful soldiers and horses in the world, it is only for the Ming army, the Mongols and the Koreans. Compared with these large and medium-sized armies under his command, it is nothing. His large and medium-sized army has been At the beginning of the establishment of the army, it followed the way of building the modern army. It can be said that all of them are unemployed professional soldiers. Whether they are soldiers or auxiliary soldiers, they all have to receive the most basic military training. After dividing the arms, they also need to receive professional training of their own arms. Gradually, they have to fight through years of war. Compared with the enemy army on the opposite side, the structure of the large and medium army is more reasonable, the configuration of the arms and the cooperation of various arms are more strict, the quality of equipment is also better, and the tactics used are more advanced. At present, his military strength is obviously stronger than the other side, and his morale is better than that of the other side. In this way If you can't win the battle, then you are really alive.

So he was very relaxed at this moment. He just slowly put down the big gun in his hand, pointed to the Jiannu army in front of him, and said, "According to the established plan, defeat them!" Today, he rarely calls himself me, and it aggravates his tone.
