Chapter 94 Making Han with Han
Especially after Dorcon led his troops to the south and hit Xiao Tianjian, who was also known as the Xingtian Army at that time, he was unable to fight by the firearms of the Xing Tianjun. After Dorcon led the soldiers back to the customs, Jiannu paid more attention to these Han soldiers. In the past two or three years, he not only established the Han Eight Banners, but also greatly enriched this. The strength of some Han military flags, at the same time, vigorously cast artillery and build various firearms to equip the Han army, making the strength of the Han Eight Banners far greater than the strength before the Han Eight Banners entered the customs in the original history. When Huang Taiji made up his mind to go south to the customs, the strength of the Han Eight Banners had almost the same as the strength of the Manchurian Eight Banners, and it was equipped with a large number of The firearm.
With the idea of the Jiannu chiefs, once they are against the Xingtian Army with sharp firearms, they will deal with the Xingtian Army with the same large number of Han armies equipped with firearms and "the same" tactics, and then add their powerful Jiannu cavalry and Mongolian cavalry. Presumably they don't have to be afraid of meeting the Xingtian Army. It is.
However, the war situation in Shanhaiguan during this period made the Jiannu chiefs a little disappointed. They thought that with the help of a large number of Han troops, Dorgen should be able to use these Han troops equipped with a large number of firearms to easily conquer Shanhaiguan, but the result was very disappointing them and sent to those Han in Dorcon in advance. The army, firearms still could not suppress the Dazhong army that controlled Shanhaiguan in advance. On the contrary, under the leadership of the generals of the Dazhong army, the Dazhong army not only blocked the attack of the Jiannu army, but also defeated the Han army several times in Shanhaiguan. It even killed Han Baqi, one Gushan and two Meile Zhangjing, killing and injuring Han Ba. There were thousands of Han soldiers in the flag, and two or three Han flags were disabled.
And some Han troops followed Abatai and Hauge to enter the customs from Miyun. However, it is estimated that the Han army led by Shi Tingzhu and other soldiers were also more bad luck at this time. In short, there were only more than 20,000 people who could hold the Han army flag at this time, and most of these Han troops were the Han army of Wuzhenchaoha camp under the command of the King Sanshun.
Before this battle, Huang Taiji personally summoned the King of Sanshun, and ordered them to lead the army this time. There was a firearm duel with the Dazhong army, so that the Dazhong army could also taste the power of their firearms.
Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and Kong Youde had bursts of bitterness in their mouths at this time, and their hearts were even more bitter. Although they were equipped with a lot of cannons and guns, they also listened to the descriptions of the Dazhong Army of the Han army who were defeated from Shanhaiguan.
As far as they know, the firearms of the Dazhong Army are very sharp. The firearms of the Dazhong Army not only have a longer range than the birds in their hands, but also the projectiles are heavier and more powerful. Seventy steps can break the heavy armor, and a hundred steps away can kill the generals in light armor, and even at a distance of 120 steps, there are With considerable lethality, it can kill people without armor. Such a fire gun is no longer what these crude birds in their hands can resist.
Moreover, the cannons of the large and medium-sized army are also very powerful. Whether it is light or heavy guns, most of them are sharp Hongyi cannons, and they are easy to operate and have extremely fast firing speed. The Han army that attacked Shanhaiguan only eats in front of the Dazhong army, and they are almost unable to fight back.
The king of Sanshun has the intention not to fight, but this matter is not up to them, and Huang Taiji also comforts them, saying that the two armies meet and the brave will win. The reason why the Han army in front will suffer a lot is mainly because the Dazhong army relies on the strong Great Wall and the closed wall, so it can defeat it. Some Han troops, now that the Dazhong army is out of the customs and the two armies line up to shoot, the Dazhong army will have no advantage. As long as the Wuzhenchaoha battalion led by the King of Sanshun disrupts the array of the Dazhong Army on the opposite side, no matter how many people they lose, Huang Taiji will promise to make up for them in the future, and will also reward them, the rest The Manchurian soldiers and Mongolian cavalry did the things of the assault on the Dazhong Army.
Therefore, although King Sanshun was reluctant, he did not dare to say no, and he was quite brave one by one. He patted his chest to ensure that there was no problem, and he would definitely defeat the Dazhong army Yunyun! Then they each uneasily led the Wuzhenchaoha camp under their command and began to set up a battle on the battlefield.
In fact, since the last time Dorcon's troops returned to the customs, the generals of Sanshun King and Han Baqi have tried their best to understand the combat methods of the Xingtian Army. In their opinion, some of the combat methods are not surprising. Three shots are not new to them. This way of firing, they It used to be known that when they were still in the Ming army, under the instruction of Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Laiwu, they knew the operation method of the three-stage attack, but they were not often used at that time.
In the past two years, these Wuzhen Chaoha battalions have also collected a lot of bird guns and three-eyed guns and equipment to the army, and imitated the Dazhong army to simplify the arms in the army. With the fire pistol as the backbone, long spear soldiers and knife hand as the supplement, they built the current Wuzhen Chaoha camp, and according to those slave soldiers who fought with the Dazhong army. As described, those who draw more than gourds have also learned to make phalanx warfare.
Last year, they were also outside Shengjing City. According to the imperial edict of Huang Taiji, the Jiannu troops outside the customs also organized a drill, which was also a kind of exercise. They not only tried to release various cannons, but also formed a phalanx in the field for a large-scale drill.
At that time, Huang Taiji also personally went to the appearance of Shengjing City to watch the drill. Many Jiannu army generals who had fought with the Dazhong army, including Dorgon and Duoduo, also participated in the drill. After watching the Han army of King Sanshun and the Han Baqi drilled fire weapons, even many Jiannu generals, including Dorgon, believed that Their Han army Wuzhenchao Ha camp is very close to the tactics of Xingtian Army.
After watching these Han army's fire shooting tactics with his own eyes, Huang Taiji was also deeply palpitated by this spectacular and fierce tactic. It is no wonder that Dorcon and Yue Tuo would suffer such a big loss when they entered the customs and met the Xing Tianjun. If he had led the army to fight against the Wuzhen Chaoha camp, it was estimated that he would also be The fight suffered heavy losses and may even be defeated.
On the one hand, Huang Taiji was happy with their achievements, and on the other hand, he also increased his fear of these Han military generals. Therefore, in the past two years, although Huang Tai has tried his best to expand the strength of the Han army, he has also strengthened his control over these Han military generals. While strongly suppressing them, he also gave favors to strengthen their At the same time, a group of virgin soldiers were also included in the Han army, which is nominally to enhance the strength of each Han army. In fact, in fact, these soldiers who were integrated into the Han army were responsible for supervising these Han soldiers and supervising the wartime.
So now, not all the Wuzhenchaoha battalions are Han soldiers, and there are also a certain proportion of Mongolians and witch people. Nominally, these Wuzhenchaoha battalions are those Han army generals, but in essence, once these Han army generals do not have much real power, they also Listening to the orders of the women's and Mongols under their command, these Han army generals did not listen to their Jiannu's command. Sometimes they fought fiercely on the battlefield, and they did not dare to turn against the water or escape without authorization.
Otherwise, Liu Zhiyuan, Li Xutai and Ma Guanghui, Gushan and Meile Zhangjing would not have lost their lives under the Shanhaiguan.
For the three kings, Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde and Shang Kexi, the situation is the same. No matter how unhappy they are, they dare not disoten the instructions of Huang Taiji. They can only pat their chests and show their very loyally and guarantee that they will defeat the Dazhong Army. However, in fact, when the three of them fight this time, they all No, I don't know if they will repeat the mistakes of Liu Zhiyuan's Han military generals this time, and the uneasy leaders began to line up in front of the army.
Under the order of their respective middle armies, the two armies began to head towards each other. Outside the Shanhaiguan, there was the sea on one side and the mountain terrain on the other, which also decided that it was impossible to carry out the battle in a large, deep and roundabout way. The two armies together nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses almost flattened more than ten miles outside the Shanhaiguan. No matter who it is, they can only face the other party in this almost barbaric way and rely on their force to defeat the other party.
This kind of play is obviously what Xiao Tianjian wants most, but for Huang Taiji, isn't it what he wants?
When Xiao Tianjian led the troops out of the line, Xiao Tianjian raised the telescope in his hand and looked in the direction of the Jiannu army. At this time, someone launched an improved lookout car from the city. As Xiao Tianjian's central army stopped, a pole up to several feet high was quickly set up under the operation of the general. There was also a hanging bucket on the high pole, in which sat a watchman with a thousand-mile eye and began to look at the formation of the slave army opposite.
This kind of watch truck is an indispensable instrument in such a large-scale battle. Naturally, this thing is indispensable in the large and medium-sized army. Climbing high and looking far, coupled with the single telescopes of the secret weapon of the large and medium army, the large and medium-sized army's observation power on the battlefield can far exceed that of their opponents.
So the watchman above quickly reported the deployment of the construction of the slave army to the staff under the watchtower, and the staff immediately relayed it to Xiao Tianjian, Li Xin and others, who were in command.
After listening to the deployment of the enemy army reported by the watchman, Xiao Tianjian and Li Xin looked at the enemy's army in the distance through Qianliyan, and then put down Qianli's eyes and looked at each other. They couldn't help but feel a little funny. When they saw the Jiannu army arranged such an imitation of them. After the infantry array, I was a little surprised at first, and then after watching it carefully, I felt a little strange.
First of all, they must admit that the infantry formation arranged by the Han army of the Han army flag sent by Jiannu this time is similar to the infantry formation of their large and medium army. It can even be said that the other party imitates very much. The army is also full of knife players, gunners, gunners and long spearmen, which is quite a replica of the Dazhong army.
But after reading it carefully, Xiao Tianjian and Li Xin both felt that the formation made by Jiannu was a little strange.
(Thank you for the reward of hong360 brothers today! Your support is my motivation! Recently, there have been relatively few updates. It's not that the cold wind doesn't work hard, but that I'm thinking about the new book. It took a month's energy to finally open a new book. As a result, it was ruthlessly killed by the editor! So you have to go all the time, you have to start all over again, so it's not the cold wind to be lazy! Please forgive me!)
