On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I wish my friends a happy New Year. I wish them all their wishes will come true, their families will be happy, they will have abundant financial resources, and they will have many happy events.
If the Manchu and Qing dynasties misjudged the Ming army's roundabout landing on the sea after their great frontal victory over the Ming army, then the pursuit and advance speed of the Ming army on the front also shocked the Manchu and Qing dynasties.
In the first few days, the Ming army did not advance very fast because they misjudged the Qing army's will to resist. When they were about to collapse and the resistance was low, the various departments of the Ming army adjusted their deployments, using the general banner as a unit, and released
Move forward quickly and move lightly.
The soldiers of the Ming Army abandoned their armor and left the brigade's baggage. They only carried guns and ammunition, dry food and a few large pots. They were not afraid of fatigue or casualties. They fought hard and bravely marched towards Beijing. Wherever there was fighting, the nearest troops would follow.
He rushes wherever he hears the gunshots, so that he is neither alone nor helpless and does not have to be slowed down by the brigade.
According to the law of marching, the speed of an army's advance does not depend on the fastest one, but on the slowest one. Countless lightly-armed squads are now better organized and organized, can take big strides, and march toward the enemy.
On the way to Beijing.
Among them, the forward troops of the Suppressor Shuo Army pursuing from Tianjin to Yongping Prefecture (now Tangshan) in Zhili Province were the fastest. When formulating the plan to block the front and pursue in the rear, Wei Junzhong, Ma Zide and others took this into consideration.
There was a difference in the speed of the army transporting troops on foot and by sea. After estimation, they believed that it would take a long time to complete the pincer attack in Funing County, which would increase the pressure on the Shuo army to block the attack.
Therefore, the Poshuo Army intercepted the Poshuo Army near Funing, while the Suppressing Shuo Army set its target in Qian'an. They tried to form two interception lines to reduce the number of Qing troops attacking the Poshuo Army in Funing. The Suppressing Shuo Army could both attack Qian'an.
It can intercept the Manchus fleeing eastward from the capital, and can also join forces with the Poshuo army to attack the Qing army between Funing and Qian'an.
In other words, the Poshuo Army and the Suppressing Shuo Army were like two steel knives, one behind the other, blocking the Manchus' eastward retreat road in the capital, Jizhou, Yumen, Qian'an, Funing, and Shanhaiguan.
Cut the Manchus following this line into three sections. In this way, the number of enemies faced by each army will not be too many, and the pressure will not be too great.
Taking a boat from Tianjin to Daihe and Yanghekou is calculated as three days, while it is planned to take four to six days for the Suppression Shuo Army to rush from Tianjin to Qian'an, more than 260 miles. Qian'an to Funing is more than 100 miles.
, if everyone arrived on time, at least the Manchus on this section of the road would not be able to escape. Funing started the war first, which would attract a considerable number of Qing troops, and the results of this annihilation battle might be even greater.
……………
There was a faint sound of gunfire from several miles away, and the scouts rode back, shouting loudly: "Form the team, move forward as a team, prepare to fight, prepare to fight."
The fast-moving infantry began to slow down, and the soldiers gathered towards the flags of their own headquarters. A phalanx of general flags was formed, advancing first on the official road; the troops of one general flag completed the whole team, followed closely behind; the other two
The soldiers of the general banner got off the road and marched in the wilderness, guarding the flanks of the friendly forces in a relatively spread out formation.
A thick white mist was sprayed out. The familiar feeling of the battlefield returned to Yang Jinxin, but his heart was very calm. For him now, fighting seems to be a normal job. If he doesn't do it for a long time, it will
A little uncomfortable. Moreover, he overcame fatigue and kept fighting. Because this was the only way to achieve his life goal.
The sound of footsteps rang in his ears, and his comrades, his robes, and brothers fighting side by side surged forward and backward. The sound of gunshots got closer and closer, and the atmosphere of solemnity became thicker and thicker. Everyone's face showed the
So dignified and serious.
From the south to the north, most of these soldiers have experienced several battles. Under strict military discipline, in harsh training, and in cruel battles, experience plus discipline, honor and hope, treatment and status,
Encouraged by victory, they are gradually turning into sophisticated killing machines.
At the front, the first to engage were the dragoons. They were originally behind the hussars, but after the hussars detected the enemy's situation, they immediately retreated slightly to rest their horses and sent scouts to notify the dragoons behind them. There were a thousand dragoons.
Dismount the horses and form a team three miles south of the official road. After leaving behind the "horse stakes" (soldiers guarding the horses), use the general flag as a unit to form three square formations and charge towards the official road in a finished shape.
Obviously, the Qing army had already taken precautions after receiving the news of the Nanhai Camp's defeat. However, there was no large organized army nearby, only a small group of troops responsible for patrolling and guarding along the way. They sent out messengers to notify other troops to come and join them.
, of course, they did not expect that the Ming army would come so fiercely and quickly.
After discovering the sentry cavalry of the Ming army, more than a thousand Eight Banners soldiers who had gathered hastily came forward and lined up in the wilderness, preparing to block the Ming army's advance. Although they were not many in number, they were all cavalry.
Moreover, the long official road behind him was full of large and small vehicles, all of which were the Manchu family members, coats, and even officials who were about to be withdrawn from the customs.
"Check the ammunition, bayonets in the front row, prepare for battle." The Ming army's infantry phalanx slowed down and made final preparations.
The sky was gloomy, and a mile away behind the Eight Banners officers and soldiers came the sound of crying. They could no longer retreat.
"The front team dismounted and put on armor, and prepared to fight on foot and charge into the formation." Jia La Ezhen roared loudly and gave orders.
"Advance slowly!" The Ming army also made adjustments amidst the sound of drums. The bayonets in the front row were extended and the rear row was raised diagonally upward, ready to shoot.
As soon as the flag of the Qing army waved, the rumble of horse hoofs came from both wings. More than a hundred cavalry rushed out from each side and rushed to the opposite side. After advancing a hundred steps, there was still no response from the Ming army on the opposite side. The Eight Banners cavalry fired a shower of arrows.
Then they passed by the Ming army's formation.
There was a strange look on Jia La'ezhen's face, and he was a little surprised by the Ming army's composure. As an officer of the Eight Banners in the Forbidden Brigade, he had been stationed in the capital since entering the customs twenty years ago, and his combat experience was still the same as before.
In his impression, the Ming army had a lot of firearms, but they liked to shoot and fire artillery from far away. The fighting was very lively, but there was an opportunity to use sharp soldiers or weapons after they reloaded or ran out of ammunition.
Jingqi rushed into the formation and was defeated.
Although the first round of testing had no results, although Jia La'erzhen felt that the army on the opposite side was stronger than the Ming army he had seen before, he did not think that any Ming army could withstand the hand-to-hand impact of the Qing warriors.
Orders were issued one after another, and the cavalry that passed by the Ming army's formation gathered again, while the Qing soldiers in the front group who dismounted and wore armor to fight on foot pressed forward, preparing for a close combat attack.
First, a small number of cavalry were used to rush into the formation at a closer distance, and after luring the Ming army's guns to fire, the armored infantry stepped forward and fired diffusely at seventy or eighty paces, and then fired flatly at forty or fifty paces. Then the armored soldiers holding long spears and swords broke through in hand-to-hand combat.
Zhen. Jia La'e's tactics are quite satisfactory and there is nothing surprising about them. But he is very confident because this is a style of play that has won him many battles.
The cavalry appeared behind the Ming army's formation, row by row, and began to form. Jia La'e's face turned gloomy. He had to defeat the enemy in front of him as soon as possible, because the enemy's reinforcements were coming continuously, and the longer they delayed, the more disadvantageous they became.
Jilha followed the other light-armored archers to the front. He was in the second row of light-armored archers, followed by several layers of armored soldiers. Finally, the elite Bagala, led by Jia La Ezhen himself, would be thrown in at the most important moment.
Fight and give the enemy a fatal blow.
The sound of drums sounded. Zirha held the Heli bow in his left hand and walked forward with his companions. After they walked a while, the armored soldiers in the back row began to advance, and the sound of armor leaves clanking against each other was heard.
The sound of horse hooves rumbled, and a hundred cavalrymen galloped diagonally toward the Ming army's formation. This time, they prepared to rush to a distance of fifty steps and then pass sideways, and used diffuse light to lure the Ming army to fire.
The drum beat continuously, dull and rapid. The Ming army's formation stopped, with the front row squatting and the back row standing, with two rows of shining bayonets stretched forward. When the Qing cavalry approached to a distance of fifty steps and began to turn,
A swan sound sounded, and then there was a loud roar, completely drowning out the buzzing sound of the bow strings vibrating.
The light arrows were still flying in the air, and the Qing cavalry was already screaming and neighing. The Ming army's phalanx was surrounded by flames, and thick white smoke was emitted along with the explosion. Looking from the air,
It was like a white smoke dragon appeared out of thin air. Lead bullets shot out from the white smoke, round after round, exploding countless blood sprays on the bodies of people and horses.
The Ming army opened fire! When he heard the gunfire, Jia La Ezhen ordered the drummers to beat hard and waved the flag, urging the infantry to step forward quickly and seize this opportunity. But this was not an opportunity. For the Qing army,
For infantrymen charging into battle, their joy is fleeting.
The Ming army's musket fire was fierce and fierce, and nearly half of the more than a hundred cavalry were knocked down. When the survivors passed by the Ming army's formation, the Qing army's infantry had just entered the hundred paces.
The corpses were laid out in front of the Ming army's formation, which made the infantrymen who rushed into the formation hesitate a little, but with the urging of war drums, they could only speed up their pace and continue to charge forward.
Jilha trotted forward, and skillfully picked up a light arrow with a sharp tip, clamped the arrow tail in the tiger's mouth, clasped the bowstring with the thumb of his right hand, pressed his index finger and middle finger on the thumb, and raised his left hand
High, the arrow pointed diagonally into the air, and his right hand began to slowly pull out the bow string. The other light-armored archers around him also took the same posture, and the bamboo body of the composite bow made a continuous creaking sound...
Seventy or eighty steps later, Zirha estimated the distance, tilted his ears, and waited for the desolate horn sound. Then, he could imagine dense arrows rising into the sky and falling in the Ming army formation, causing bursts of
Chaos...but what he heard was——
The sound of swans sounded, firelight flashed in front of the Ming army's battle formation, and white smoke rose. Facing more and denser infantry charging into the formation, the first round of firing by the Ming army was actually two rows of fire, which was more violent than before, and the bullet rain
More dense.
The light-armored archers of the Qing army who were eighty steps away were seriously injured by intensive shooting. The lead bullets flew across a distance of seventy steps in an instant, easily tore their light armor, deformed and disintegrated in their bodies, formed a cavity effect, and injured them.
The patient's blood spurts out of the body along those holes, turning into arrows of blood. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
