"The general decided to concentrate all the troops and horses to annihilate the troops and horses of the Yongwei camp of the Ming Emperor's personal guards here. In this battle, Subandai led the troops and horses of his headquarters, plus 5,000 Han army flag troops, to use all his strength to block the reinforcements of the Ming army's camp.
The rest of the troops returned to the general's central camp and launched a thunderous attack on the Ming army at Wuqiao Yongwei camp. We must defeat and completely annihilate this Ming army within one day."
Abatai was determined to fight a decisive battle with the Yongwei Camp. Although he knew that this battle was very risky, it was not without a chance. The distance between the Yongwei Camp and the main camp was indeed very close, but if the distance of thirty miles was to be operated,
If done properly, it may not become a natural barrier for reinforcements from the Ming army. When the powerful Tianxiong army of the Ming Dynasty and the Zhejiang soldiers in the bloody battle at Hunhe were wiped out, the distance between their reinforcements was not much further than it is now.
"The key to this battle is to prevent the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dog Camp from advancing even an inch. It is definitely not possible to rely on Subandai to command a troop of soldiers and horses. The artillery of the Han Army Banner must provide strong support, and all the troops in the Ming Army Camp must be killed.
Nailed in place. The other key is to defeat the Yongwei camp as quickly as possible. Liang Huacheng, in addition to using artillery to block the Ming army's reinforcements, your Han army flag must also severely damage the Ming army in the Yongwei camp.
"
Since the Yongwei camp has sharp firearms, they should use firearms to deal with firearms. The Qing army did not bring heavy troops when they went south this time (Wuzhenchaoha), but they still brought a lot of Folang machine guns and other light cannons. If they didn't bring some
With firearms, it was impossible for them to break through the Ming Army's city so quickly.
War clouds arose. When the Qing army was preparing for the decisive battle, the various troops were deployed quickly. The Subandai cavalry who entered the battlefield first were all light cavalry and moved very fast. In less than an hour, they inserted themselves into the Yongwei camp and the main camp.
The middle part of the battalion began to block the communication between the two armies. At the same time, the Mandahai Department of the Qing Army's forward battalion also sent cavalry around the Yongwei Camp, trying their best to reduce the scope of activities of the Ming Army's reconnaissance cavalry.
The cavalry companies of Ren Shuangyou and May Youliang were overwhelmed by the menacing majority of the Qing army's cavalry, and had to shrink the scope of their investigation step by step, finally retreating to only two or three miles away from the camp.
Under such circumstances, there was no point in sending any more reconnaissance cavalry. Liu Yuanbin and Cao Ruohai quickly ordered the two troops to return to camp.
"General, the Qing army's sudden attack is not trivial! Should we retreat towards the main camp? It should be too late to retreat now." Although the Qing army is already everywhere around the battlefield, Cao Ruohai has this confidence.
, calmly asked the new soldiers to retreat to the direction of the main camp, which is why he hurried to Liu Yuanbin's camp.
Liu Yuanbin casually handed the order that Chen Xinjia had previously sent to Cao Ruohai, and said: "The military governor has sent a military order in front of us, telling our troops to fight without retreating. The troops from the main camp will arrive later, and we will fight with the Qing Dynasty here."
Let’s have a good fight!”
"It's possible to fight hard without retreating! Can those guys in the camp get to the battlefield in time? We don't want us to fight to the death here, because they won't be able to move forward there."
"If it's farther away, it's very possible! But it's only thirty miles away. No matter how hard they work, they can kill them in two days, right? We can still do it in two days, so there's no need to worry. Ruo Hai
, we are still worried about the upcoming war. I see that there seems to be traces of artillery in the rear of the Qing army, and more anti-gun trenches need to be dug. In addition, although our two battalions have no problem in contacting each other for the time being, if the war is stalemate, I am worried about Qing Qing.
The army will make a fuss about the connection department, so we are thinking of arranging for people to dig two traffic trenches at the connection between our two departments, what do you think?"
"Okay, I will make arrangements after I return to camp. Each of our two divisions will dig one. Anyway, we won't be able to use all our troops to resist the Qing troops now."
From the early morning encounter with the enemy to the actual confrontation between the two armies, half a day passed. During this half day, everyone was not relaxed. The pressure of the battle made everyone on the battlefield blush, breathe heavily, and even feel that the air
It's all burnt and solidified. The stagnant air has a sticky consistency.
With the bright sun in the sky, the Qing army officially began its offensive. The offensive and defensive battle between the two armies began with an artillery battle. In terms of artillery equipment, the main guns used by the two armies were Folang machine guns, and their range, rate of fire, and power were not much different.
After several rounds of artillery battles, Liang Huacheng, the commander of the Qing army and the Han banner, discovered a problem. The Ming army on the opposite side seemed to have become smarter and actually knew how to use trenches to defend against artillery. If the attack continued like this, the effect of the artillery bombardment would not be great. On the contrary,
The Ming army on the defensive side will have a considerable advantage. The Qing army can't dig trenches and dig into the Ming army camp, right? This is not like attacking a big city like Jinzhou, so there is plenty of time and energy.
Abatai, who was on the battlefield, also saw this situation. The Ming army dug a lot of trenches in the whole morning. It was strange for these Ming soldiers to not be nervous when encountering a big battle but had time to dig trenches.
The Ming army was not nervous but had tactical regulations that stipulated what they must do on the battlefield. It was good to train all officers in a regular manner. One general might forget it because he was nervous, but hundreds of generals on the battlefield
It is impossible for all officials to forget. As long as one can remember, this matter will not be forgotten.
Having something to do is actually better than having nothing to do. If there is nothing to do, the soldiers can only line up and wait. The longer they wait, the more anxious they become, and the easier it is to cause trouble. When there is something to do, attention will be diverted and tension will not spread.
"Liang Huacheng, you take all your troops and horses and charge the enemy's formation with all your strength. I will not let you withdraw your troops, so you will keep fighting." Abatai gave Liang Huacheng a military order, telling him not to wait any longer and start charging quickly.
Battle of formations.
To be a traitor, you must have the consciousness of being a traitor. At critical moments, you should be used as cannon fodder!
The charging tactics of Liang Huacheng's troops were different from those of the Qing army. They mainly used cavalry to charge in scattered directions, which was a bit like the style of Mongolian cavalry.
Looking at Liang Huacheng's troops who rushed into the enemy formation to fight with the Ming army, Abatai's face was a little solemn. He always knew that the Ming army's thunder formation was amazingly powerful, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. The purpose of letting Liang Huacheng's troops rush into the formation
, it was Abatai who wanted to see with his own eyes what was going on with the Thunderous Thunder Formation. Now that he had seen the situation, it shocked him even more than he imagined.
If the Ming army had enough thunderbolts and artillery, it seemed that their own side had no chance of breaking through the enemy's formation. Liang Huacheng's soldiers and horses rushed forward and were repulsed within a short time. With such a wave of charge, it felt like the loss of the Han army flag
There were only about three to five hundred people. This was still the result of the evacuation of the military formation. If they rushed into the camp in a dense formation like the white-armored soldiers, the losses would be even greater.
"No wonder Fu Kachan fell into the enemy's position. Tan Tai said that it was impossible to fight the Ming army on the narrow streets. Now it seems that their defeat was not without reason." Looking at the situation on the battlefield, Abatai was completely convinced.
I understand what happened to the previous two defeats.
Abatai, who understood, was a little shaken and hesitant. Judging from the current battle situation, it was unlikely to annihilate this powerful army in a short time like before. And their reinforcements were close at hand, so this battle could still be fought.
