How did Xiao Yuanying fight the Qing army in Haizhou? Simply put, it was a three-step process.

The first step is to bombard the cannon and shoot the arrow (gun).

The second step is the cavalry hedging.

The third step is to put on armor and hold a shield and chop.

According to Zheng Sihua, the brother-in-law of Yuan Shizhong, Yuan Shizhong learned from Li Zicheng to train more than a thousand people, but everyone had three horses elite cavalry.

"At that time, Mr. Yuan heard that the Tartars came to Haizhou and took us there. The Tartars encountered about three or four thousand people, and there were real Tartars and fake Tartars..."

The "real Tartars" mentioned by Zheng Sihua refers to the Han and Mongolian Eight Banners among the Eight Banners of the Qing army, while the fake Tartars refers to the Han Eight Banners.

Wang Dalong added a sentence on the side, saying that there were Mongolians in the Qing army in Haizhou who had no banners. They were dressed in tatters and had poor equipment. They robbed everything and rushed forward in every battle.

Lu Si knew that those robbery helpers from the Qing Dynasty conquered the Mongolian tribes, were poorer than those of the Mongolian tribes such as Korqin who married the Qing Dynasty, so after entering the pass, he followed up with the treasure house and looked like a ripped eye. In addition to the external vassal Mongolia, there were Korean soldiers in the Qing army that had entered the pass and robbed these days.

The components of the Qing Dynasty robbery group were about 30%, the Han army accounted for 40%, the Mongolia accounted for 25%, and the remaining half was North Korea.

The further we went, the higher the proportion of the Han army, for example, the Duoduo army, which was about to snowball into an army of 300,000, was one to nine.

Several entry of the Qing army during the Chongzhen period made the Ming Dynasty worse and worse, and also effectively alleviated the influence of the Little Glacier on the Qing Dynasty.

The last time Abatai entered the pass, Lu Si had detailed archives in the Qing Dynasty in his previous life, recording about 920,000 people and livestock captured, and plundered 12,000 taels of gold and 2.2 million taels of silver.

This is what I got and took out of the customs. Those who were not got, those who were killed, those who were burned, and those who were destroyed were more likely to be around 3 million.

Therefore, Lu Si had a criticism of people with extremely crooked butts in his previous life saying that the same Little Binghe River, the Ming Dynasty was over, but the Qing Dynasty was safe and sound. This is not true that the Qing system is superior to your Ming Dynasty.

In the words of Huaiyang people, such people are just ovulations.

If there is such a person in front of Lu Si now, he will definitely take the big sword.

"The Tartars first thought we were officers and soldiers, so they didn't take us seriously and directly rushed to the horses. With a command from Master Yuan, we used the seized dozen cannons to bomb the Tartars' cavalry. Master Yuan personally led the cavalry to hedge against the Tartars. The men were not afraid of death... The Tartars made us afraid of fighting and left hundreds of bodies and hid in Haizhou. Master Yuan said that we could not let these Tartars go, so we surrounded Haizhou City. The Tartars's high-ranking official was so scared that he gave us gifts..."

As a witness to the Battle of Haizhou, Zheng Sihua must have known a lot about the details of this battle.

Lu Si heard three keywords - artillery, cavalry, and courage.

In order to win the Qing army, these three factors are indispensable.

The Huai Army lacks two and a half.

Artillery and cavalry are definitely short of.

At present, the Huai Army had only four artillery pieces that could be used for field battles. Therefore, in order to solve the dilemma of the Huai Army without cannons, the agreement signed with the Zheng family to occupy the majority of the firearms and iron. In addition, Yangzhou merchants found ways to buy some tiger squat cannons from the south, and as much as possible to form the Huai Army's artillery team before the Qing army headed south. If the poor were to try every means to interweave, and if the Das were to bombard me.

Of course, Lu Si hopes to be my own.

Who wants to be a grandson?

In terms of cavalry, although the Huai Army had begun to implement the decision of Lu Si to "Easy Strategy to Cavalry", each unit successively formed mule and horse teams, greatly improving the mobility and transportation capabilities of the Huai Army.

But the mule and horse team cannot be called cavalry. At least, there are less than 700 war horses in the army now, and the big head is the horse team of Cao Yuan, the Thousand General of Shidewei.

If cavalry hedge is really necessary, the "cavalry" of the Huai Army, which mainly consists of mules, donkeys and pack horses, will definitely not be able to beat others.

In terms of courage, Lu Si believes that if he fights the Ming army, the Huai army does not lack courage.

Whether it is the Battle of Shi Jiadang, the Battle of Guazhou, the Battle of Anton, or even the Battle of Baoying, whose nephew Guangyuan lost, the Huai Army is remarkable in terms of courage.

But except for the Battle of Baoying, which faced the only remaining strong troops in the Ming Dynasty, this courage was based on the premise that the opponent was more garbage than the Huai Army.

Therefore, Lu Si is not optimistic about the Eight Banners that even the Huaixi soldiers cannot defeat, how much courage can the Huai Army have?

He gave half of the evaluation conservatively.

How to make this half courage become one, and continue and keep it all the time, two other factors must be obtained - artillery and cavalry.

Since ancient times, the courage to be without guarantee has never lasted.

It’s like the premise that there must be a brave man under the reward is to give him a reward.

"I heard that there are three walls in Shunjun? Do you know this?" Seeing that the dishes on the table were a little cold, Lu Si called Qibao and asked him to ask the chef to heat up the dishes and stir-fry a few more dishes.

"This is fat, crisp and delicious, but the fried pig skin is very delicious. Come and try it." Lu Si got up and picked up a chopstick for Zheng Sihua and Wang Dalong.

Zheng and Wang hurriedly thanked, but they were still a little restrained.

"Cao Yuan, Zhongyi, you guys do it yourself. They are guests and you are the master. Why? Do you still want me to pick up food for you?"

Lu Si smiled and grabbed a few soybeans and threw them into his mouth.

Cao Yuan and Zhao Zhongyi arrived in Huai'an City one after another. Cao Yuan brought the Huai Army cavalry that had already reached 500 people, and Zhao Zhongyi brought his mule and horse team with more than 1,000 people. The two can be said to be Miao Miao, the only cavalry general of the Huai Army, and Lu Si's treasured treasure.

"The governor said the three walls of the thief, right? These three walls are actually the old capital of the thief. There are three red, black and white flags. There are 7,200 cavalrymen in one flag, and all three horses are there. There are 20,000 horses at the time of the battle, which is very scary."

The hatred between Xiao Yuanying and Li Zicheng is really not something that Lu Si can resolve, so even if Lu Si was named Marquis of Huaiyin by Li Zicheng, Zheng Sihua still called Li Zicheng "a thief".

Cao Yuan put down his chopsticks and said strangely: "Three Flags? No, why did I hear that there are 30,000 people in the three walls?"

Zheng Guohua explained: "That is a rumor among outsiders. There are 7,200 people in one banner, and the other is matched with Sanma. If you don't know the details, you think that Sandu Banner has 30,000 people, but in fact, it's just over 20,000."

"oh,"

Cao Yuan nodded. He followed Shi Dewei and had been fighting with Zhang Xianzhong's troops, and he really didn't know Li Zicheng's side.

Zhao Zhongyi knew that Jin Shenghuan had not fought with Li Zicheng's Dashun Army in recent years. According to him, Li Zicheng's three-flag cavalry would be divided into three formations when fighting with the Ming army, and they were only allowed to advance but not retreat. If the front formation was back, the back formation would kill the front formation.

"...If the three walls meet strong enemies for a long time, Li Zicheng will let the three walls pretend to be defeated to lure the Ming army, and then let 30,000 infantry spearmen attack the enemy. When the Ming army and the Shun army were fighting each other, the three walls would fight back again, and they would be defeated."

"In war, we still need cavalry. This is also the reason why I called you and the other two. If our Huai Army wants to grow, we must have our own cavalry, three walls... It is best if we have eight walls..."

Lu Si was just talking when everyone suddenly heard a "puff" sound, and then the air suddenly changed.

"I put it. Alas, I've eaten too many beans these days."

Lu Si originally subconsciously looked at Zhao Zhongyi beside him first, but in the end he was alone in doing things and being the other person.

Unexpectedly, this fart is amazing.
