Chapter nine hundred and forty-ninth Huailai Victory
"Commander Zhao! You can do it. I really don't know how your Runing Army soldiers were trained. After practicing for a few days, they became a strong army." Seeing the soldiers gathering together the captured air war horses, Chen Dexin gave Zhao Gan a thumbs up in convincingly.
In fact, Chen De was not old, only in his early twenties. So when he saw that the Second Cavalry Regiment led by Zhao Gan achieved such great results, he was not jealous, and he was only thinking about learning this method of training.
"General Chen is polite!" Zhao Gan said with a smile. Because the adaptation of the Daping Army has not been completed, the current title is a bit chaotic. However, in the face of Chen De's praise, Zhao Gan was also very happy.
"Actually, General Chen is also good at training. Without our encirclement, you will sooner or later break up the Tartars." Zhao Gan began to say politely, "Caring a group means fighting a battle of dead formations. It is really a one-on-one with hard swords and real guns. It is worse than riding a group of people."
"You're so polite!" After hearing Zhao Gan's polite words, Chen De laughed heartily, "I'm here to ask for advice after the war. Can Commander Zhao hide his own private matters?"
"Learn from each other! Learn from each other!"
"I'd better come here and learn more! The money for treats cannot be spent in vain?" Chen De joked.
"Hahaha--!"
...
In fact, the cavalry array combat is close to modern cavalry tactics. This tactic abandons the single-cavalry fighting and uses the group's charge to reflect the power of the cavalry. By adopting such tactics, nomadic peoples growing on horseback will be defeated if they encounter this tactic. No matter how individuals do, they cannot defeat the collective!
When the troops who were going to intercept were defeated, the Qing army did not dare to besiege Zhuangzi, who was in charge of Qi. The Qing generals who were commanding gathered the remaining troops and moved closer to the main force led by Abatai, hoping to concentrate their forces and repel the invading Daping Army.
But when the Qing generals met, he found that Abatai was in a dilemma. The two villages that the Qing army divided the troops to attack did not capture, and the main force led by Abatai was also bleeding when attacking the county town. What's even worse was that the 40,000 troops personally led by Wu Shigong were approaching Abatai's troops. The Qing army could no longer let the attack on the city.
On June 19th, Huailai Daping Army camp.
Wu Shigong smiled and said to Zhao Gan: "I'm relieved when you come. I was afraid that the Tartars would bypass the army and attack the Tartars in Shanhaiguan. With you, they would be unable to move forward. Hahaha!"
There was also a lot of laughter in the big tent.
"Your Majesty! This time the end of the future will go smoothly. General Chen has made great contributions!" Seeing Wu Shigong in a good mood, Zhao Gan praised Chen De without hesitation, and came to Huahua Bridge and people carried people.
So Wu Shigong also smiled and nodded at Chen De, praising: "I am worthy of being a general. General Chen is blessed! But now it is wartime, and the merits are first recorded in the merit book. Let me recount the merits after the war."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen De bowed and smiled with his eyebrows and eyes.
"I heard that the Tartars could not defeat the farm this time. Is this a matter of this?" Wu Shigong asked Zhao Gan with a smile.
"Yes! Your Majesty! The guardians are our Runing old men, and the guardians are injured and retired veterans. When the generals passed by this Zhuang, they left thirty muskets. Even if the Tartars attacked the entire Zhuang, they could hold on for a while." Zhao Gan replied.
"You did a good job." Wu Shigong nodded to Zhao Gan with a smile, "There are many people who have made meritorious contributions in this battle of national fortune, and I will also reward them one by one. The 1,66 cavalry sent by Lao Xiong will also arrive in two days. When they come, there will be even more worry-free here."
Then Wu Shigong looked at Yang Chengzu and Li Dingguo again and asked, "Chengzu, Dingguo, don't say that I won't let you two make meritorious contributions, what? Can you stop the Tartars?"
"I will definitely fulfill my mission!" The two of them immediately took the order.
Then, Wu Shigong ordered Xue Cunzhuang, the general who led this army, and said, "The Tartars are in a hurry to attack the city, so they must be short of food and grass. Our plan to clear the fields has also worked. This time I will leave you a 30,000 army, and all the cavalry coming here will be your command. You are a gathering of famous generals, and you are strong in your army! You don't need to fight to the decisive battle. If you find a way to delay the Tartars for a longer time, they will retreat without fighting. And I will personally lead 10,000 children to Shanhaiguan to fight the Tartars to the death. Can you stop the Tartars?"
"Your Majesty! Just give me 120 hearts!" In comparison, the old team of the Runing Army like Xue Cunzhuang said much more casually to Wu Shigong.
Wu Shigong nodded with satisfaction and finally reminded: "Don't underestimate the enemy, and also prevent the Tartars from jumping over the wall in a hurry. Remember! Stabilize is the best!"
"promise!"
On June 20, Wu Shigong led 10,000 troops to support the main force of the Daping Army in Shanhaiguan. Xue Cunzhuang led the army to continue moving forward and met the Qing army on the 21st. After the encounter, both sides were very cautious and camped thirty miles apart.
On the 22nd, 1,600 cavalry sent by Xiong Zheng'en also rushed to Xue Cunzhuang's troops, so Xue Cunzhuang summoned the generals to discuss military affairs. However, this military discussion seemed to have ignited a powder keg, and all the generals were indignant and wanted to take the initiative to attack the Qing army.
After all, Xue Cunzhuang's army had more than 20,000 auxiliary soldiers, and the generals were afraid that those auxiliary soldiers would not be able to hold on during the confrontation. So they simply took advantage of the Qing army's unstable foothold and made a fight. Of course, the frequent reports of other Daping armies also stimulated them deeply, and these generals could not sit still.
That night, Yang Chengzu, Li Dingguo, Zhao Gan, Chen De and other generals led five troops of thousands of people to scatter around the Qing army camp. Xue Cunzhuang personally commanded the artillery, approached the Qing army camp in the dark, and bombarded the Qing army camp in the dark.
The sound of cannons was like a signal, guiding the five Daping troops to immediately enter the Qing army's camp, which turned the Qing army upside down. At the end of the battle, the Qing army finally exploded the camp. Many Mongolian soldiers could not bear the psychological pressure and fled to the camp one after another. Seeing that the situation was not good, Abatai had to evacuate the camp with the Eight Banners soldiers.
After dawn, Abatai gathered up his troops and gathered more than 20,000 Qing troops. This made Abatai cry without tears. After many Mongolian soldiers escaped from the camp, they no longer cared about Abatai and fled back to the Mongolian grasslands.
After suffering a great defeat, his troops were not superior, and he was short of clothing and food, no longer had the intention to fight, and led the Qing army back to the outside of the pass.
When the war report of the Huailai victory reached Wu Shigong, he was still rushing to the road with his army. When he saw these bold and arrogant gangsters doing such amazing actions, Wu Shigong only said one word - "Crass!"
