The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 421 Is this considered Lushun elite soldier?

At this time, Cao Wenzhao was the commander-in-chief, and his official position was higher than that of Ding Yi. Naturally, he would not come in person. He sent someone to send Wang Weizhong to his camp to discuss military affairs.

Wang Weizhong didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately took his two relatives and soldiers to go. Zhou Yougen wanted to accompany him, but Wang Weizhong signaled him not to go, and said that if he couldn't come back, he would immediately take his soldiers and horses and go back to Shandong.

Zhou Yougen was taken aback for a moment, but nodded without thinking too long.

After Wang Weizhong rushed to Cao Wenzhao's camp, he saw that there were already several people in the camp.

Zhang Zongheng was a Jinshi in the 41st year of Wanli. He was the governor of Datong, and later moved to the right servant of the Ministry of War and the governor of Datong.

This guy likes to use firearms very much. When he was the governor of Datong, he often asked the court for firearms. ) five thousand rods.” Finally, the three-eyed gun replaced the single-barreled gun such as the fast gun and the magic machine gun, and became the main weapon of battle.

Datong is his firearms base. There are a large number of craftsmen here, making firearms for the Datong frontier army.

Zhang Zongheng came to Huairen because a new iron mine was discovered here, but he didn't expect that when he arrived in Huairen, the Houjin soldiers suddenly broke through and entered.

Zhang Zongheng was startled immediately, and he didn't dare to leave.

Cao Wenzhao and Wang Weizhong were summoned successively.

Calling both of them here today is to discuss retreating (running) to Datong.

In Huairen County, there were few soldiers and horses. Zhang Zongheng felt that he would only feel safe if he withdrew to Datong.

Zhang Zongheng said that Huang Taiji went to fight Yingzhou, and Daishan went to fight Guangling. Now they have a good opportunity to retreat to Datong.

In fact, before retreating, he had already discussed with Cao Wenzhao, and sent someone to send an invitation and letter to Huang Taiji in order to delay Huang Taiji's attack.

Everyone naturally has no objection, anyway, listen to the above.

After Zhang Zongheng finished speaking, he waited for a while to see the reaction of the generals. Wang Weizhong seemed to be the least responsive.

A smile hung on his face: "I heard that the Dengzhou camp is all elite soldiers. This time, Wang Gueran will be the vanguard."

"No." Wang Weizhong clasped his fists immediately.

"General Cao's cavalry is cut off."

"promise."

Zhang Zongheng took some of his own soldiers, and Huairen and a thousand soldiers walked in the middle.

In this way, Huairen County originally had two thousand soldiers and horses, but he took away one thousand. If Hou Jin came to attack, it would be almost impossible to defend.

At present, everyone in the camp agreed to have a full meal tonight, take a good rest, and leave tomorrow morning.

After the meeting, Wang Weizhong turned around and left.

Cao Wenzhao went to Zhang Zongheng's side: "Our cavalry should be the vanguard, and the governor will wait with me to stay after the Dengzhou camp is broken."

When Zhang Zongheng thought about it, it seemed reasonable. He was naturally inferior to Cao Wenzhao in terms of leading troops to fight.

Cao Wenzhao didn't say anything just now, because he was afraid that he would lose face.

With Cao Wenzhao's arrangement, he can ride a horse with Cao, and the Jin soldiers can run away first when they meet.

Let the Dengzhou camp end.

The next day, before leaving Huairen, Zhang Zongheng really changed the arrangement and asked Wang Weizhong to end the camp in Dengzhou.

Wang Weizhong didn't care, and readily agreed.

Huairen is only about ninety miles away from the mountain. More than 2000 cavalry and nearly [-] infantry ([-] Huairen) set off for Datong together. Zhang Zongheng and his cronies followed the cavalry.

He thought he was running silently, but unexpectedly, Huang Taiji had already seen through his trick.

After receiving the letter sent by Zhang Zongheng, Huang Taiji knew that Zhang Zongheng was going to run away.

He immediately ordered Dorji of the third route to lead the central army, Tulushi, the deputy governor, to lead the left army, and Wu Bai to lead the right army. While attacking Datong, he first intercepted and killed Zhang Zongheng halfway.

Dorji's full name is Borzigit, and Dorji is a Mongolian. There are 2000 Mongolian cavalry in his central army.

The Tulushi left army, the deputy capital, also had 2000 Mongolian cavalry.

U Bai's full name is Guarja U Bai.Later, the gold inlaid white flag participated in the leadership, and the leader was [-] soldiers, and five ox records inlaid with white flag soldiers and horses.

The three-way army has 5500 people.

In the original history, Zhang Zongheng ran with Cao Wenzhao that night, but Huang Taiji wanted to send troops to intercept him but failed, and it took him an hour or two to travel.

This time, because Wang Weizhong had 36 more infantry and [-] carts, Zhang Zongheng might feel more secure, so he left in the morning.

As a result, at four o'clock in the afternoon, 6000 members of the Ming army were stopped by the Hou Jin army in Yaozhuang Village, more than 20 miles away from Datong.

It was August at this time, and the weather was hot, and Wang Weizhong's infantry were tired and hot from walking.

Suddenly, there was a long blast of horns ahead.

Zhang Zongheng and Cao Wenzhao first saw two rear golden cavalry, then slowly appeared from behind, and then a black mass of rear golden cavalry appeared on the ground.

The Houjin army consisted of 5500 people, all with horses, and all of them were cavalry.

"Jiannu." Zhang Zongheng's face changed drastically, he was startled and frightened, he didn't expect to be stopped when he was approaching Datong.

For a moment, he regretted bringing Wang Weizhong's infantry. If he hadn't brought the infantry, their cavalry would have returned to Datong long ago.

"Form the formation." Huairen's infantry was led by a guerrilla named Song Duan. When he saw the Houjin soldiers, he immediately shouted, and more than 1000 infantry began to form formation.

His infantry also used a lot of firearms, but they were all three-eyed guns and the like.

Wang Weizhong and Zhou Yougen looked at each other, and immediately said: "Rest where you are, sit down and drink water."

Dengzhouying immediately sat down to rest, and began to drink water.

Cao Wenzhao and Zhang Zongheng rode on their horses and looked back, almost crooked their noses.

This is the elite soldier His Majesty values?
Huairen's soldiers and horses are all deployed, and Ding Yi's Dengzhou battalion is sitting and drinking water?

One of Cao Wenzhao's generals rode over immediately and said sharply, "Jianu is right in front of us, don't get up yet to form an army."

Before Wang Weizhong could speak, Zhou Yougen said calmly: "Our Dengzhou camp is different from yours. The general is too worried."

It means that it is not your turn to give advice when we are fighting.

The general was furious, but there was nothing he could do, so he hurried back to Cao Wenzhao.

At this time, the Houjin soldiers on the opposite side had already been divided into three groups under the leadership of Dolji.

Dorji led the central army, Tulushi was on the left, and Wu Bai was on the right. The distance between the two sides was less than three miles.

Cao Wenzhao had no choice but to bow his head quickly: "In a while, I will lead the troops to rush to the left of Jiannu, and my lord will follow us."

The Mongolian army is on the left, and Cao Wenzhao feels that it can be managed easily.

Zhang Zongheng nodded approvingly, now he can't control the infantry, he can only let them fend for themselves.

In particular, the Dengzhou camp, with 32 carts, was moving too slowly.

But it's not kind to go this way, so he quickly discussed it with Cao Wenzhao.

Cao Wenzhao sent someone over again.

"We cavalrymen are going to break through, Master Zhang will follow us, and you two infantrymen, cooperate with each other, you can charge as much as you can."

Huairen's Song Duan looked gloomy, knowing that he was abandoned by Shangguan, but he had no choice right now.

He looked back at Wang Weizhong's department, and was still sitting on the ground resting, almost dying of anger.

This is an elite soldier?What kind of elite soldier is this?

Song Duan wondered if they would surrender without a fight when Jin Gong came up after a while.

"Wang Guerrilla." Song Duan couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and asked loudly, "Which way are you going to attack later?"

The cavalry chose the left road, and the right road and the central army were on the opposite side.

Wang Weizhong thought for a while: "Let's guard the infantry, Song Guerrilla might as well let your soldiers and horses enter our cart circle."

"..." Song Duan stared: "This can be guarded, of course I will rush out."

"There are cavalry on the opposite side, and you can't escape." Wang Weizhong sighed: "If you can defend and kill them in large numbers, they will naturally retreat."

"..." Song Duan stomped his feet, not wanting to talk to Wang Weizhong anymore, he decided in his heart that he would not attack for a while, and ran forward with the cavalry.
