Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 441 They are all traitors, fighting across the river

The generals of the Shun Army nodded slightly after hearing this, and then Li Guo said: "We already know what Zongbing Li said, so let's talk about the establishment. Can the imperial court really only provide establishments for the two towns? We have 3 There are many soldiers, even if some of them are eliminated, there will be more than two soldiers and horses left, right?"

Li Ren said: "Don't be in a hurry, just listen to me. The imperial court only gave you two townships, but didn't say that only 4000 people will be recruited into the new army.

After this selection, your real elite will be selected and transferred to the various armies until the remaining qualified ones reach the number of soldiers in the two towns.

Of course, the premise is that most of the soldiers and horses in your army are really elite and brave fighters as you said before.

If the soldiers selected according to the standards of the new army are not enough for the needs of the two towns, we can only transfer troops from other places to fill them. "

"No, absolutely not." Gao Yigong said carelessly, "Uh, Shunjun...Uh, uh, the soldiers under your command have fought for several years, except for a few who are too old or young, The rest should all meet the requirements of the new army.”

Li Ren smiled and said, "If the talisman doesn't meet the requirements, it doesn't count if General Gao says it, and I don't count it if I say it. You have to let the recruiting department see it."

"Then let them see."

Speaking of this, someone suddenly came outside the tent and said loudly: "General Qi, there is movement on the other side of the river, and it seems that they want to cross the river."

The man had just finished speaking when several cannons were heard from the bank of the Yellow River.

Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Xin Sizhong and other former Shun Army generals frowned upon hearing this.

"Mr. Li, since the Qing captives are using cannons, I'm afraid they really want to cross the river to attack our army. We need to go to command and dispatch as soon as possible."

Li Ren nodded, "You just go - don't be afraid of the cannons of the Qing Dynasty. I'll let the outpost assigned to you by the Military Affairs Council go to support you."

Li Guo and the others had seen the artillery power of the new army of the Ming Dynasty before, and they all showed joy when they heard this, and said, "This is really great."

Immediately, all the generals hurried out of the big tent and went back to their respective armies.

The Yellow River flows from north to south between Shanshan and Shaanxi, separating the two provinces.In the northeast corner of Shaanxi, Fugu County and Baode Prefecture face each other across the river, and they are only a few miles away from the Yellow River.

In the upper reaches of these two cities, there are Hequ County in Shanxi and many camps in Yulin Town.

Therefore, this area has always been a battleground for military strategists.

Previously, when the Qing army withdrew from Shaanxi to Shanxi, they abandoned Fugu, but for some reason they came to attack again now.

···
On the other side of the river, Bayan, in his thirties, frowned and looked at the movement of Shunjun on the opposite side. Beside him was Dong Xueli, the general soldier of the Green Battalion who also wore a money rattail whip.

"Lord Bayan, the Shun army on the other side seems to be in a bit of a mess, but do you need the last general to send troops across the river?" Dong Xueli asked with a smile.

In Dong Xueli's eyes, this Master Bayan is really Manchurian, so of course he should be careful to please him.

However, Bayan glanced at him and did not answer.

Bayan is actually Han Chinese.

But he still feels that Gao Dongxueli is more than first-class, because his father is Li Yongfang.

There are many Han generals in the Qing Dynasty, but Li Yongfang was the first to surrender to Nurhachi, and he has a very high status in the Qing Dynasty.

As Li Yongfang's fifth son, Bayan changed his name, which sounded like the real Manchu, in order to get reused by the Qing court as soon as possible.

Later, he was promoted continuously, and now he is the Zhenglan Banner Angbang Zhangjing of the Han Army, commanding the entire Zhenglan Banner army in name.

The reason for saying this is because the Qing Dynasty was actually very wary of the Han and Mongols, and even the Manchus.

For example, the position of Angbang Zhangjing has only appeared in recent years. In the past, it was directly called Gushan Ezhen, which means the banner owner.

But changing to Angbang Zhangjing means taking charge of a certain banner.

In addition, the Qing court often liked to assign a banner of soldiers and horses to all parties for use, and rarely let the entire banner of soldiers and horses gather together.

For example, he is now in charge of guarding Baodezhou, an important military base, and there are only three Jiala under his command, more than 4000 people.

Therefore, if you want to defend Baodezhou, you mainly have to rely on the green battalion commander beside you.

According to Bayan's understanding, this Dong Xueli is even more shameless than him, he is already a family slave of the three surnames.

He was originally Daming's lieutenant general who guarded Huamachi in Shaanxi, and he could be regarded as highly valued by Daming, but when Li Zicheng captured Shaanxi, Dong Xueli surrendered without a fight.

Probably Li Zicheng didn't like this kind of people who surrendered without a fight, so he transferred Dong Xueli to Henan to be the general of Huaiqing Mansion.

As a result, Duoduo led the army to Henan, and this guy surrendered without a fight, and the operation was called skilled.

Their Daqing was more tolerant of this kind of person than Li Zicheng, or to make the best use of everything, Meng Qiaofang appointed him as the chief soldier of Fengxiang Mansion to plot Pingliang Mansion.

There is no need to say more about the latter.

This guy first retreated into Qingyang Mansion, and then into Yan'an Mansion and Yulin Town.It was also thanks to the general strategy above that was to shrink the defense that he was not punished.

It's just that Bayan really has no sense of security if he wants to guard Baodezhou with this kind of person now, and he is afraid that this guy will surrender to Daming again when he wakes up one day.

As for the fact that Dong Xueli's head was removed as a certificate of honor, Bayan had long been on guard—Dong Xueli had more than 1 subordinates, but only more than 3000 people were stationed with them in Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army in Zhoucheng.

The rest camped outside the city.

In this way, even if Dong Xueli wants to come down, at most he will take Baodezhou City, and it is impossible to take his Bayan's head.

"Shun Jun has made a move." Dong Xueli suddenly called out, "What are they going to do?"

Bayan found that the soldiers and horses on the opposite side were not in the slightest confusion, and put on a defensive posture, he said coldly: "Don't always call them Shunjun, President Dong——they are flying the flag of the Ming Dynasty and wearing the uniform of the Ming army, where are they?" Or the Shun Army? What's more, Da Shun has been wiped out by my Qing Dynasty long ago."

"Yes, yes, the last general made a slip of the tongue, and I will definitely correct it next time." Dong Xueli immediately admitted his mistake.

When he turned his eyes to the opposite bank again, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, took a breath and said: "Master Bayan, if the general reads correctly, it is the new cannon of the Ming army, right?"

"You have been on the line with the Ming army for half a year, and you can't even recognize their artillery?" Bayan's voice became colder, and then he said to the soldiers around him: "Let the artillery retreat quickly, we managed to get a few Hongyi artillery to defend City, don’t let the Ming army take it all at once!”

"Whoo!"

The soldiers left in response.

Speaking of which, there are two reasons why Bayan and Dong Xueli deliberately shelled the "Ming Army" on the other side today.

One was that they discovered that these "Ming soldiers" were actually the original Shun soldiers, and they felt unwilling to think that they were so frightened that they ran straight to Shanxi.

Second, Bayan just got the eight Hongyi cannons supported by the rear today-this kind of Hongyi cannons are similar to Hongyi cannons, but with a slightly smaller caliber. It is more suitable for field battles than the Hongyi Cannon.

It is said that the imperial court bought them with a lot of money from the Yi people. There are hundreds of doors in one batch, but only eight doors can be allocated to him.

Although the eight gates were a little less, Bayan still wanted to try his power, so he pulled four gates to the river to bombard the "Ming Army" riverside position on the opposite side.

Judging from the two rounds of shells fired just now, the quality of this batch of Hongyi cannons is indeed slightly better.The same weight, but the muzzle is bigger, and it hits a little farther.

It's a pity that the power and range are still not as good as the Hongyi cannon, let alone the new artillery of the Ming army.

Now that we know that it is not as good as the new artillery of the Ming army, it is natural to avoid confronting it in field battles.If these four cannons were bombarded by the Ming army and destroyed, Baode Prefecture would be very difficult to defend.

Bayan thought it was timely enough to give the order, and the artillerymen under his command moved quickly, but after a while they pulled the artillery carts and ran towards the city.

But the gunners of the Ming army moved faster, and after only a short while, they set up a position and fired their cannons here.

boom boom boom

Only a series of cannon shots were heard, twenty shells were fired, and several of them fell straight to the place where the Hongyi artillery chariot was!
