I'm afraid this is what Tiemo and Aqige are looking forward to. If the Qing Dynasty sends warriors, the Northern Shanxi Army will definitely increase its troops. When the time comes, everyone will add more troops little by little. A vanguard battle will probably become a direct battle.
It has become a decisive battle, which is not a good thing for them, because the Jurchen army is now at a disadvantage. No, we cannot directly send troops to rescue. That would be too passive. They will always be led by the nose, and the end will not be good.
.
Dorgon thought carefully. After a long time, his brows relaxed slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, as if he had made some determination. "Humph, Minte has already joined the battle on the center line, but he still hasn't seen the Northern Shanxi Army."
The traces of the artillery camp can at least prove that the artillery camp is not in Liushao Town."
Liushao Town is the town in the middle of Luanhe River. It can be said that the entire center line defense is based on Liushao Town. The fierce battle has been going on to this point, and we haven't seen any intention of the artillery battalion to move. Presumably the artillery battalion is not involved.
Not here. Dorgon doesn't think Tie Mou will hide his strength at this time, because there is no need to hide it at this time. There is no artillery camp on the center line, and there is a grassland on the east line with no high points or cover, and the possibility is not high.
As a result, the artillery battalion could only fight on the western front. Maoyu Town on the western front happened to be hilly, which was a hiding place for shooting from high altitudes.
"Fourteenth brother, you personally lead the troops to Maoyu Town in the west. If my brother's prediction is correct, the Han people's artillery camp must be hidden on Chuncao Slope. If the Han people want to devour my 20,000 elites, we will annex one of their artillery camps."
.”
Dorgon has always had a deep fear of the artillery battalion of the Northern Shanxi Army. He did not dare to attack all the troops at once, but also defended the artillery battalion to prevent the tragedy of Hanhai Grassland from happening again. As early as before,
We have already thought about where the artillery camp might be hiding. In addition to directly abandoning the eastern front, the center line and the west line are both possible. Fu Chachun's desperate fight at least confirmed that the artillery camp is not on the center line.
Duduo gasped and said nothing. He could hear the meaning behind his words. His brother was giving up Fuchachun. To put it bluntly, he was using the lives of Fuchachun and those 20,000 warriors to exchange for the Northern Shanxi Army.
The destruction of the artillery camp, "Brother, don't you care about Fu Chachun's life or death?"
"Old Fourteen, you still don't obey the order? Do you think this king doesn't want to save Fu Chachun?" Dorgon didn't want to give up on Fu Chachun. Fu Chachun had done so much to get where he is today, so he wanted to die without saving him.
, it is really too difficult. But do we have to come down? There are the most brave Northern Shanxi Cavalry of the Northern Shanxi Army and the Iron Buddha, as well as the beast Minte. The probability of saving it is very slim, but instead we take the opportunity to eradicate the artillery camp.
This threat is even more significant.
Although Duduo was dissatisfied, he did not dare to disobey the military order and could only leave angrily. Duduo led the troops to find the artillery camp, but Fuchachun had completely fallen into a deadly battle. He was invincible in a battle with iron chains and horses, which was definitely not what he said.
It's funny. Watching the warriors around him fall one by one, Fu Chachun's heart was as sharp as a knife. He didn't want Dorgon to send reinforcements to save him. Since it was proved that the artillery camp was not here, he should take advantage of the Jin Dynasty.
Before the Northern Army could react, they had to kill the artillery battalion as soon as possible to eliminate a big threat to the subsequent war.
With his hands free, Zhou Dingshan led his troops to help Minte. Both sides were approaching Shuaiqi. Now even Fuchachun, a god, could not fly. It was only a matter of time before Fuchachun's fall. Aqige, who was standing far away, could not see the look on his face.
Feeling a little happy, when Tie Mo came over, she asked as if talking to herself, "Why do you always feel like something is wrong?"
"You feel it too? I feel this way too. Fu Chachun is not a lunatic. He has no intention of retreating at all. Doesn't he feel sorry for these Jurchen athletes at all?" Tie Mo frowned, extremely confused.
I used to think that Fu Chachun was brave and good at fighting and refused to lose, but gradually that was no longer the case. It seemed that Fu Chachun was deliberately delaying the Northern Shanxi Army to buy time for other things. This
Fu Chachun, what on earth do you want to do?
Min Te's spurge cost countless lives. There were fewer and fewer people standing in the way. The Jurchens fell one by one. They desperately tried to protect Fucha Chun, but in the end they couldn't save it.
Galloping like the wind, the euphorbia passed by, Fu Chachun put his hand on his throat and slowly fell off the horse. Fu Chachun died, and the handsome flag was cut in half.
Fu Chachun's burly body fell slowly, and his pair of tiger eyes expressed the deep unwillingness in his heart. He was an outstanding figure of the Qing Dynasty and a Jurchen. He ambitiously launched a southern invasion and seized countless wealth, but in the end he failed to return home.
When the beloved Baishan Heishui and Fu Chachun died, the Jurchen cavalry that had been supporting them suddenly collapsed. Their greatest king was dead. How much hope did they have to continue to fight?
At this time, a sneak attack was coming quietly on the green grass slope on the west line. The green grass slope was a breakthrough, and there was a dense jujube forest on the slope. There were many vegetations in the forest, especially those love pines that never faded all year round, which were even more hidden.
It's a good place. Just two days ago, Zhang Zhenlei arranged his artillery battalion here. Looking down from the green grass slope, the entire place can be seen at a glance. If the Jurchens dare to attack the defenses on the western front, they can project artillery shells and other final weapons from here.
Couldn't be more appropriate.
Compared to the central line, the western front area was too peaceful. Perhaps this calmness made everyone relax their guard. Duduo was very good at fighting. Although he was eager to destroy this artillery battalion, he did not directly send troops to rush forward.
First, let a hundred-man team sneak around to the north of Qingcao Slope. The Jurchens held strong bows and all mounted rockets. When the road to the north of Qingcao Slope was blocked, Duduo finally issued the order to attack, and countless arrows with flaming arrows were fired at once.
Arrows fall from the sky. You must know that the items stored in the artillery camp are all flammable and explosive items. What will happen if these items are ignited by rockets?
After the rain of arrows, there was a rumbling explosion. Countless screams had long been drowned out by the rumbling explosion. Many artillery battalion soldiers were blown into the sky before they even took a look at the enemy. The violent explosion caused the earth to tremble.
Looking at the fire, Lin Chong's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. He didn't know how the Jurchens discovered the location of the artillery camp, and he had no time to grieve for those who died, because the artillery camp was attacked by surprise. Next, the Jurchens
There will definitely be bigger moves.
The rumbling explosions took a long time to stop. After a baptism of wind and fire, Zhang Zhenlei led dozens of remnants back to the Western Front camp. This sneak attack caused heavy losses. The firearms and supplies stored in Qingcao Slope were suddenly destroyed.
Not to mention the destruction, the most important thing is that after this battle, half of the brothers in the entire artillery battalion stayed on the green grass slope forever.
Zhang Zhenlei's eyes were bloodshot and he looked like a madman. Others didn't know how to comfort Zhang Zhenlei. Only a better fight could be worthy of those brothers who died in the sneak attack.
The tragic experience of the artillery camp soon reached the Chinese army, and at this time the battle on the center line was coming to an end. Aqige looked at the emergency report, his hands trembled, and he said bitterly, "It's all my fault. I should have thought that Dorgon would be difficult to deal with."
of!"
On the bank of the Luan River, in the first confrontation between the two sides, the Northern Shanxi Army did not take much advantage. Although it almost wiped out all 20,000 Jurchen cavalry on the center line and took the life of Fu Chachun, 4,000 artillery battalion soldiers and countless firearms and equipment were destroyed.
, which also made the victory of the central line battle less glorious. Without the four thousand artillery battalions and firearms and baggage, there was less important support. I have to say that Dorgon was really poisonous, and he even left Fu Chachun alone.
Instead, he took the opportunity to eliminate the artillery camp, a serious problem.
The first day of the war ended with a small victory, but the difficult problem was left to the Northern Shanxi Army. There were only more than 40,000 people on the Western Front. Now that the artillery battalion, the sharpest knife, was missing, how could the Western Front Army resist the Jurchens?
Should we divide our troops to support the Western Front? Some people think that since Duduo has eliminated the artillery battalion, Dorgon will definitely attack the weakest defense on the Western Front, while some people think that Dorgon will
A cunning fox may not do this.
How to choose, Tiemo and Aqige couldn't make up their minds for a while, and even Wang Zuogao, who had always been scheming, lost his previous self-confidence. It must be said that Dorgon was smart enough to lose Fu Chachun, but
Winning the initiative in this war depends on how Tie Mo chooses. As long as his choice is wrong, tens of thousands of Jurchen warriors will seize the opportunity and quickly open a gap, thereby disrupting the overall deployment of the Northern Shanxi Army and winning the entire battle.
Victory in a war.
Dorgon indeed threw the biggest problem to Tie Mo, the central line or the western line? Tie Mo did not consider the eastern line, because in comparison, the eastern line is the most stable, with a favorable geographical location, Org and
Nearly 20,000 troops are stationed there. Even if Dorgon is possessed by the god Dorgon, it is impossible to open a hole in a short time. The problem of choosing one of the two seems to be half right, but the pressure is extremely huge. One wrong choice may lead to full satisfaction.
All bets are lost.
After paying a very painful price to gain the initiative in this war, the pressure was reduced, but Dorgon could not feel any happiness, because this advantage was won by Fu Chachun with his life. As night fell, the stars were dotted
On that white Milky Way, Dorgon sat alone on the bank of the Luan River, holding a bamboo flute in his hand, and the desolate music spread across the river, reflecting the starlight, infinitely sad.
Fu Chachun taught him carefully since he was a child. In comparison, what did his father Khan Nurhaci do? He would rather choose Huang Taiji than face his youngest son.
After finally getting the land of Chahar and having the status he has today, he wanted to share this glory with Fu Chachun and let him accompany him all the way to glory. However, everything changed on the banks of the Luan River. Fu Chachun
He died in the battle south of the Luan River and completed a shocking reversal with his life.
Are you happy? I have never been happy. Why is it that the Ming Dynasty is swept away, but there is no happiness at all? The strength in the hand becomes stronger and stronger, and with a click, the bamboo flute breaks into two pieces. Dorgon stood up and broke the broken bamboo
The flute was thrown into the water, and the cool water was like cold tears. The enemy is now, and we have to fight tomorrow. Let's put away the sadness for the time being. Dorgon's sad eyes slowly accumulated a fierce meaning. He must win if he wants to win.
To win, we must use victory to commemorate the death of Fuchachun.
On April 11, the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the earth returned to spring, all things revived, and life should be full of vitality. However, the land in Gyeonggi was filled with smoke, and the thick fog of war covered up the warmest sunshine. Under Dorgon's order,
Wanyan Zonghan led his elite 30,000 white horse troops to the Western Front. This army, composed of 10,000 elite cavalry and 20,000 infantry, attacked Geng Zhongming's troops in a mighty manner.
Geng Zhongming had already received the military report from the front. This time, not only Dorgon's 30,000 troops came to the battlefield on the Western Front, but also Manggul's 20,000 cavalry in the rear. It can be said that the Jurchens wanted to attack themselves with heavy troops.
Several lieutenants had previously requested reinforcements from General Liu who was stationed at Sanchahekou, but Geng Zhongming did not agree.
Geng Zhongming did not ask for reinforcements, not because he was arrogant, nor because he was afraid that Liu Guoneng would take away his credit. The reason for this was because he had deep doubts in his heart. The Jurchens gathered the Chinese army and rushed to the Western Front. It is impossible for the supervisor not to know, and knowing
The Jurchens attacked heavily but did not send any news, which was extremely abnormal.
The Superintendent had been fighting in the South and North for many years, so he would never have made such a big mistake. The only explanation is that the Superintendent believed that the real main direction of the Jurchens' attack was not the Western Front. Otherwise, the Superintendent would never have done nothing.
With this idea in mind, Geng Zhongming felt that he should never ask for reinforcements unless it was absolutely necessary, because General Niu's troops and horses were likely to be the winner of this war, and perhaps the commander had already made arrangements.
"Wang Gui, Xue Li, you two will lead 5,000 light cavalry to flank the enemy from the west. Remember, do not rush into the enemy's formation, just harass them. If the Jurchens divide their forces to pursue them, let the Jurchens who are going to pursue them lead them."
Enter the northwest hills!"
A black command arrow was fired, and Wang Gui and Xue Li stepped forward together and agreed in unison. For Wang Gui and Xue Li, leading five thousand light cavalry to harass the side was an arduous task. It was said to be a harassment, but in fact it was to try every means to force them.
The Jurchens divided their troops so that the traps in the northwest hills could be effective. If they really fought head-on, the numerical disadvantage would be irreparable. The most important thing was that the artillery battalion suffered heavy losses, and the northern Shanxi cavalry and Tiefutu were concentrated on the center line.
, if we want to survive now, we can only rely on a flexible mind.
"Monty, Yao Gu, you two lead 10,000 elite troops to form a formation to meet the enemy, place more horses to resist the enemy, and open all the trenches. In short, I don't want to see a single Jurchen cavalry cross the trench belt within two hours!"
"Here!" Yao Gu took the command arrow and left in a hurry.
"Oh...oh...oh..." The tight infantry formation moved forward little by little, and the long spears touched the heavy shields, making a harsh roar. Looking at the Northern Shanxi Army approaching step by step,
Duduo pointed his flag, and 8,000 infantry under his command swarmed forward. Unexpectedly, he did not use cavalry to charge, but strange moves have their own benefits. All the traps that the Northern Shanxi Army had prepared for the Jurchen cavalry were defeated by the infantry.
Although it caused a lot of trouble for the Jurchens, this was definitely not the effect Geng Zhongming wanted.
