Chapter 229 The Qing Dynasty also has a Rocket Force!

"The Qing army stayed in Gaoyang. It seemed that they were going to fight with our army in Anping!"

"Can we wait for the Northern Expedition Corps to join forces before advancing?"

"No! No, if this is the case, the Qing court would not fight, and no one would fight a battle that would be defeated!"

"Is our army's military ration enough?"

"There are only three days left after arriving in Gaoyang. If you want to fight in Anyang, there will be a lot of pressure on military rations!"

“How long does it take to transport grain from the nearest food war?”

"If there is no war, it will take two days."

"It is recommended to stay for a few days before moving towards Gaoyang."

"The fighter's opportunity is fleeting, and the Qing army may escape at any time when they see the situation is not good!"

"You can eat from the enemy! The Qing army has more than 100,000 troops, and they also need to rely on food warfare to operate!"

"I don't think it's not, the risk is too great!"

"The enemy must be coming towards our food route. Once the food route is cut off, our army will fall into a dangerous place!"

"With our combat power, the enemy cannot surround our army. Our army can use food channels as bait to lure the enemy into field battles!"

After Qianlong took the initiative to station troops in Gaoyang.

The General Staff of the Guards Regiment made a quarrel.

The young staff members who graduated from the Ming Army Officer Academy expressed their opinions.

Some brave warriors who think that the opportunity is not to be missed and should immediately pounce on them to fight against the enemy and defeat the enemy.

Some people also believe that the Qing army must have planned to lengthen our food routes and raid our food routes with superior forces. On the safe side, we should suspend our progress and wait to join forces with the Northern Expedition Corps to ensure that the food routes are worry-free before continuing to move forward.

There was endless argument between the two sides.

Military advisor Tao Biquan and Ming emperor Zhu Daohua did not stop the staff from arguing, but were staring at the map.

"Your Majesty, the Tartars must be attacking the food route and forcing our army to be careful of food shortages. If they pounce on them now, it would be a bit risky."

Tao Biquan said.

"The military advisor thinks it should be safe?" Zhu Daohua asked.

He knows.

If he followed the steps, he would fight with Zhao Si's Northern Expedition Army and then go to great lengths.

Then Qianlong must have run away.

And this is not the situation Zhu Daohua wants to see, because even if Qianlong wants to run away.

He would not allow him to run with more than 100,000 cavalrymen.

He would not let Qianlong have such a strong capital.

Otherwise, if he was asked to go to the Western Regions and collude with Tsarist Russia, wouldn’t it be a big trouble?

Therefore, we must defeat our opponents as much as possible in the Central Plains battlefield. If possible, we will wipe out all his 100,000 cavalry. But Zhu Daohua also knows that it is difficult to wipe out more than 100,000 cavalry.

It would be great to be able to destroy the opponent as much as possible while defeating it.

"No, I think this is an opportunity, just. Of course we can't be too aggressive."

Tao Biquan was also staring at the map.

"Emperor, Qianlong now has six flags among the Eight Banners, each with stairs, cavalry, cannons, etc., including eight infantry towns, each with 10,000 people, and five associations under them, each with 2,000 people, and the synthesis level is very high!"

That's right.

Now, synthesis is also emphasized in the Eastern battlefield.

The so-called synthetic reading means that the combination of musketeers, artillery, cavalry, baggage, and engineers is incorrect.

Due to insufficient firepower density, the Qing army did not synthesize according to the 5,000 brigade of one Ming army, but combined a town with 10,000 people in each town, with two infantry aids and two cavalry aids, and the baggage genitals and artillery genitals to form another.

It can be said that the organization has made quite progress.

Qianlong had eight such "high-synthesis talks about Army Town"!

Among them, there were two yellow-inlaid flags he brought out, and one of the other five flags each.

besides.

It is the Mongolian soldiers with a number of up to 90,000.

Among them, 50,000 Mongolian soldiers also underwent "mule transformation".

Just give up scimitars and bows.

Instead, equip the flintlock rifle.

Comprehensively learn the combat methods of the Ming army's mule soldiers.

There were 50,000 Mongolians who had undergone "mule transformation" in this way.

The remaining 40,000 Mongolians do not want to transform or seek progress.

Mainly.

Not enough firearms.

Although the Qing Dynasty received the support of British craftsmen, it made great progress in the production capacity of flintlock rifles and artillery.

However, no matter how great the progress is, it is still an official handicraft industry that has remained in the handicraft era.

In terms of production efficiency, it is impossible to compare with the Ming Dynasty, which has already entered the industrial era.

So there is nothing to do.

These 50,000 Mongolians have 10,000 as scouts, and another 40,000

It was transformed into an impact on the cavalry.

This was the advice provided by the British adviser among the Qing army.

The Qing Dynasty has now advanced to the level of having Western consultants.

But it has really made progress for almost two hundred years

It's really amazing.

At the advice of the British military adviser.

These Mongolian cavalry abandoned the light cavalry tactics that used cavalry bows to harass.

Instead, he pursues the attacking cavalry specializing in melee fighting and rushing into the formation.

It's a big Europeanization.

With such Europeanization, Emperor Qianlong felt that it was normal for his luck to come back.

Although there is no breastplate.

But riding a rifle and a scimitar are enough.

Although it is difficult to train to the level of the Ming army's breastplate cavalry brigade.

But Mongolians are born to ride horses, so it is still OK to line up a dense riding formation that looks like that.

Eight infantry towns.

Four Dragoon Towns.

Four rushing cavalry towns.

There is also a light cavalry town.

Such a force.

It has also undergone such a big transformation.

It would be particularly understandable that Qianlong wanted to meet the Ming army again.

"It's really strong." Zhu Daohua said, "so we can't let him take so many soldiers and horses away!"

"Your Majesty, our recent grain battle is in Jingzhou, Hejian Prefecture. The Duke of Song can send someone to guard the grain road and stock up on Suining, Hejian Prefecture! In this way, our army only needs to withdraw from the battlefield to reach Suining, thinking of the retreat!"

Tao Biquan pointed at Su Ningxian on the map and said.

The handover between Suining and Baoding Prefecture is only a hundred miles away from Gaoyang.

If the Ming Army Guards Corps wanted to go, the distance of a hundred miles would be easily passed.

"The opportunity must not be missed!" Zhu Daohua saw that the retreat had been arranged, and no longer hesitated.

Immediately ordered the army to quickly attack Gao Yang!
