Chapter 192 Killing the Ming Army by surprise
The next day, at the beginning of Mao, it was a happy time.
The endless sound of horns and drums sounded in the Jiannu camp.
Then the army of the leaders made fire and made meals, and then each banner and battalion had dinner one after another.
After breakfast, in addition to the army left behind in the camp, each banner and battalion drove out of the camp one after another and began to line up and set up a large formation in the southwest corner of Yunlong Lake.
At this time, if the Ming army had confidence in themselves, they would follow them out of the city to engage in field battles.
This was how the Dashun Army did at Shanhaiguan, leaving the pass to fight with Jiannu and Guanning Army.
If you lack confidence in yourself, then just huddle in the city and wait for Jiannu to come to your door, and then use the strong city defense facilities to kill Jiannu and defeat Jiannu.
The Ming army naturally would not leave the city to fight in the field.
Jiannu was also mentally prepared for this.
The cannon fired and Jiannu's flag gate opened.
Duoduo brought Luo Luohun, Lukedehun, Haoge and other banner owners, slowly came to the front of the formation.
Looking around, I saw that the various armors of the Eight Banners were all visible. The flags fluttering in the wind were like the overlapping peaks of the hometown Hertuara, and the countless spears piercing the sky were like primeval forests.
The fierce murderous aura of the Eight Banners almost came to his face.
"Prince Yu." Luo Luohun turned his head and looked at Duoduo, and said in a deep voice, "Have you thought about how to fight?"
"I have already made a decision on how to fight this battle." Duoduo smiled. Last night, the Eight Banners soldiers slept very well, but he went to bed very late and kept thinking about how to fight Xuzhou.
It was not until the beginning of the ugly moment that he finally chose the tactics.
"Oh, is that?" Luke Dehun asked curiously, "What's the way to play?"
Duoduo asked replies without answering, "The Battle of Sarhu is the founding of the Qing Dynasty. You should not be unfamiliar with the entire process of the Battle of Sarhu, right?"
The Battle of Sarhu has been 25 years since then.
The Eight Banner nobles who participated in this war either passed away or entered their twilight years.
At this time, most of the leaders of Jiannu were the second or third generations. Among them, Haoge, the oldest, was only ten years old in the year of the Battle of Sarhu, so he did not participate in this battle of founding the country.
But not participating does not mean they are not familiar with the battle.
They have heard of it from their parents and ancestors for many times.
"Why did it involve the Battle of Sarhu again?" Luo Luo said in a mess.
Duoduo said: "I ask you, how did Lao Khan win this battle?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Luo Luohun said angrily, "Of course, I have been here many times, and I have only gone all the way. The reason why the Qing Dynasty won this battle to establish the country was because of Lao Khan's tactics along the way!"
Duoduo said: "Then let me ask you again, which battle is the most critical battle in the Battle of Sarhu?"
"Of course it is the battle to destroy Dusong tribe!" Luke Dehun said without hesitation, "Dusong tribe is the most elite of the four Ming troops, and there are a large number of brave Zhejiang soldiers in the army! Lao Khan concentrated all his troops to destroy Dusong tribe in one fell swoop, which was equivalent to pulling out the sharpest fangs of the tiger in the Ming Dynasty, and also set a good start for the entire war."
Duoduo emphasized and said, "Then I'll ask you again, how did Lao Khan defeat Dusong along the way?"
"Duoduo, what are you doing? These are all big stories we have heard since we were young!" Luo Luohun was already a little impatient, but he still replied with a dark face, "The reason why Lao Khan could defeat Du Song along the way was because it was dusk and there was another fog. The Ming army was forced to fire a torch, but he still couldn't see my Eight Banners Warriors."
"But my Eight Banners Warriors can see the Ming army."
"Then Lao Khan used five hundred Bayala soldiers as his vanguard and broke into the Sarhu camp of the Ming army in one fell swoop..."
Speaking of this, Luo Luohun suddenly reacted and said with a narrow expression: "Duoduo, do you want to imitate Lao Khan and use the Bayala soldiers as the vanguard to kill the Ming army in Xuzhou off guard?"
"That's right, I caught the Ming army off guard with the Bayala soldiers as the vanguard."
Duoduo said: "I have considered it repeatedly last night. If we rely on the Eight Banners Han Army and the Red Cannons, we will push forward step by step, one by one, and pull out the gun platforms outside Xuzhou one by one, it will take at least two or even three months. We really can't afford this because we don't have so much food and grass."
Hearing this, Haoge finally couldn't help but questioned: "Even if he was caught off guard by the Ming army, there seemed to be no need to dispatch Bayala soldiers, right? Red Armor is enough!"
Haoge could guess with his toes. If he really wanted to dispatch white armored soldiers, it would definitely come from his Zhenglan Banner. It would definitely be impossible for Duoduo's own white banner and Dorgon's Zhengbai Banner to send troops.
Therefore, for the sake of Zhenglanqi and his own interests, Haoge can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Because the Zhenglan Banner was originally the weakest among the Eight Banners, there were only 30 Niulu, and there were only 30 white-armored soldiers. Each loss of these 300 white-armored soldiers is a huge loss for the Zhenglan Banner.
"Prince Su's words are wrong!" Duoduo said calmly, "The tiger is fighting against the rabbit and is trying his best. Although the Ming court is weak, the elite forces gathered in Xuzhou are also the elite troops of a country. Our Qing Dynasty naturally also needs to dispatch the most elite Bayala soldiers. This will not only minimize the losses, but also ensure that we break into Xuzhou City in the shortest time!"
Luo Luohun, Lukedehun and other Beile also echoed: "This is right. The reason why our Qing soldiers could quickly destroy the Ming army under Du Song's troops was because Lao Khan transferred 500 Bayala soldiers to the front line!"
Haoge dared not object anymore, and opposing again was to question Lao Khan's strategy of using troops.
Luo Luohun said to Duoduo again: "It is a good idea to use the Bayala soldiers as the vanguard to kill the Ming army off guard, but have you decided to launch the assault from which direction?"
"There!" Duoduo pointed his hand and said, "Yunlong Mountain!"
"Uh, Yunlong Mountain?" Luo Luohun and Lukedehun were stunned.
But Haoge secretly admired him because he had already seen the cleverness of Duoduo's move.
To put it bluntly, no matter how powerful the Bayala soldiers are, they will not be able to penetrate the more than ten gun defense lines outside Xuzhou City. If they really use Bayala soldiers to fill in it, even if they fight all three thousand Bayala soldiers, they may not be able to advance to the city of Xuzhou, which will turn into a reckless battle.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! It is different to hit Yunlong Mountain, this is a great breakthrough.
Because from the defensive formation of the Ming army, you only need to break through the two gun platforms to advance to the southern foot of Longshan Mountain in Yunshan, and then you can launch a backlash attack on the Ming army guarding the mountain.
Then as long as you take down the first mountain, the Ming army on the back hills will most likely collapse. Even if the Ming army does not collapse, it will be fine. It will change from attacking the plains to hunting in the mountains. This is the favorite battlefield for the Eight Banners Warriors.
After taking Yunlong Mountain, the Qing soldiers could directly advance to the southeast corner of Xuzhou City.
It can even be allowed to transport the red-clothed cannons to Yunlong Mountain.
Then they set up red-clothed cannons from Yunlong Mountain and bombarded Xuzhou from a high place. By then, the Ming army could not gain a foothold on the city wall in the southeast corner, and the Qing soldiers could attack Xuzhou without any effort.
That is to say, Duoduo reduced the twelve defense lines of the Ming army to the triple defense lines.
The difficulty of continuously breaking through the twelve defense line is completely different.
Although Luo Luohun, Lukedehun and other Baylors were young, they were not stupid. After a moment of thinking, they could figure out the power of it and no longer questioned it.
Duoduo immediately shouted: "I am telling me that the king will order the Zhenglan Banner, Zhenghong Banner and the Bayala soldiers who are inlaid with red flags as the vanguard, the Zhenglan Banner is the front team, and the Red Banner is the back team, and immediately launch an attack on Yunlong Mountain!"
"Yeah!" Princes Bell and Bayala Zhang Jing agreed with a loud promise.
...
The Ming army in Xuzhou is already on high alert, including the border troops on Yunlong Mountain.
Jin Shenghuan, with a dozen scholars and a dozen generals, stood in the wind on the ninth peak of Yunlong Mountain. Behind him were Ruan Dacheng, the blower troupe and actors of the National Troupe.
The war is imminent, and it is impossible to continue singing the opera.
Because even if the opera troupe continues to sing, the soldiers of the border army are not in the mood to listen again.
So Ruan Dacheng brought musicians and actors to the top of the mountain to cheer for the soldiers of the border. This is probably the second time after Liang Hongyu, the actors beat drums or cheer for the soldiers of the border.
At this moment, Jin Shenghuan was undoubtedly very nervous, because Yunlong Mountain was likely to become a breakthrough for Jiannu.
The only thing that is thankful is that Jiannu has not been able to attack Yunlong Mountain directly for the time being, because there are two gun platforms outside the ninth peak standing at his feet.
In other words, Jiannu must first break through these two gun platforms.
Then he was able to launch an uprising attack on the ninth peak of Yunlong Mountain guarded by Jin Shenghuan.
Even so, Jin Shenghuan was still inexplicably uneasy, and turned his head to ask the tall scholar beside him and said, "Xu Xiucai, is there no problem with the red cannon?"
Xu Yingwei was the leader of the twelve scholars who were transferred to Jin Shenghuan's border troops.
These twelve scholars were also responsible for controlling two red cannons mounted on the top of the mountain.
As for artillery instructor Qu Shawei, he hid back in Xuzhou after adjusting the red cannons.
"No problem." Xu Yingwei responded, perhaps because he felt that he was not imposing enough, and then added in a more emphasis, "You will look at the performance of our artillery team!"
If it were normal, Jin Shenghuan might even praise him.
But at this moment, Jin Shenghuan no longer had this mood.
Because Jiannu has already started attacking, and the direction of the attack is Yunlong Mountain!
Amid the endless sound of horns, one car after another was launched from the Jiannu formation. These car cars were all made of hardwood, covered with cowhide iron on the surface, and are not afraid of fire attacking lead.
At the same time, Jiannu from the left and right wings also made way out of the formation.
After Jiannu moved aside to both sides, the red cannon behind him was exposed.
Jiannu gunners swung sled hammers and hammered the iron drill into the ground.
After fixing the red cannon, the Jiannu gunner inserted the burned iron chisel into the fire gate.
Then balls of white smoke rose in front of Jiannu formation. When I looked at the five gun platforms that were attacked, I saw that there were already dust columns on the slope protection in front of me.
