Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 210 Huang Taiji Wants to Boost Morale
Huang Taiji's face turned ashen.

He had already learned about the disappearance of Shengjing and Hetuala.

However, after hearing Fan Wencheng's report, his anger was touched again, and he was so anxious that he almost fainted.

Taking a deep breath, Huang Taiji adjusted the expression on his face, laughed, and stepped forward to support Fan Wencheng.

"Master Fan, don't blame yourself too much! This Ming army is indeed very cunning, and their firecrackers are extremely sharp. I personally commanded the Eight Banners army, and I still suffered a big loss in his hands, let alone Lord Fan guarding the city alone?"

It has to be said that during the Qing Dynasty, there were almost no foolish emperors.

Especially the few emperors before and after entering the customs, by the standards of the feudal era, all of them can be regarded as wise masters.

Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, Dorgon, Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng...

They are very time-sensitive.

Huang Taiji knew that now that the Eight Banners army had suffered heavy losses, it was time for the Han people to help them.

Fan Wencheng is the head of Hanchen in the Jin Kingdom, and punishing Fan Wencheng will only make Hanchen lose his morals, which is not good for the overall situation.

"master……"

Sure enough, Fan Wencheng burst into tears of gratitude and wept bitterly.

"Quick! Let me tell you about the loss of several cities. The Ming army only had a few hundred people, how did they manage to conquer several cities? Could it be that after they conquered the city, they didn't need to divide their troops to garrison?"

This is the most puzzling thing for Huang Taiji.

If the Ming army divides its troops to garrison, even if there are hundreds of people left in each city, it is a strategy of dividing the troops, and the more the troops are divided, the fewer the troops.

This is a taboo for military strategists!
"Hundreds of people?"

Fan Wencheng was slightly surprised and a little dazed.

"Master, where did you hear that the Ming army only had a few hundred people? When they attacked Shengjing, they did have only a few hundred people. However, they have reinforcements. When the slaves retreat from Shengjing to Tieling, they want to When they defended Tieling, they had two thousand troops chasing after them to attack the city."

"Two thousand troops attack Tieling? It's impossible!"

The emperor was greatly surprised.

They came all the way, chasing the Ming army!

Although they couldn't defeat the Ming army, they were very clear about the strength of the Ming army.

"From here, the area to Guihua City is under the control of our Eight Banners army, and even in the direction of Guanning, I have sent a large number of sentries.

If the Ming army has reinforcements, it is absolutely impossible to hide it from our eyes and ears!There is fraud in this! "

With his hands behind his back, Huang Taiji paced back and forth, his pace getting faster and faster.

The Jurchens have always attached great importance to intelligence when fighting wars.

In this regard, they did much better than the Ming army.

In every battle, the Jurchens sentries were always farther and more numerous than the Ming army's Yebushu.

Therefore, the Jurchens have always had a clear understanding of the movements of the Ming army.

In this regard, Huang Taiji is very confident.

He trusted his experienced scouts.

Since they said that the Ming army had no reinforcements, then there must have been no reinforcements.

As for the Ming army's recruitment of troops in Shengjing on the spot, after a short-term training, they immediately went to the battlefield...

Don't say that Huang Taiji has never heard of this kind of thing, even if he heard of it, he would not believe it!Absolutely will not believe it!
When recruits go to the battlefield, they are sent to death!
How can there be any fighting power at all!

"The Ming army is bluffing!"

Huang Taiji's eyes lit up.

"If my guess is correct, out of the 200 soldiers of the Ming army who attacked Tieling, at most [-] were regular soldiers, and the rest, in all likelihood, were civilian men recruited temporarily.

Do not!The ones who really attacked Tieling didn't even have five hundred soldiers!Because we just got the news that Liaoyang was also lost. Coincidentally, it was also two thousand Ming troops who took down Liaoyang!

In addition, our sentries also discovered that two thousand Ming troops set out from Shengjing City and headed west... Adding up all these, there are already 6000 troops.It is ten times the actual number of troops in the Ming army.

What's more, the Ming army who stayed behind in Shengjing and Hetuala was not counted!
I don't know why the Ming army didn't send reinforcements for so long, but looking at the situation of this powerful army, I boldly guess that there may be another problem inside the Ming dog court!
It is precisely because this strong team thinks that they can't wait for reinforcements, so they will take risks, bluff, and expand everywhere. "

The more Huang Taiji thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

"Master, what you mean is that the chief general of this Ming army has the heart of disobedience?" Fan Wencheng asked.

"Not bad!" Huang Taiji nodded.

"But, master. That's not right! During the Battle of Tieling, the servant personally went to the top of the city. I saw with my own eyes that the Ming army's firepower was strong, and it was definitely not two hundred soldiers! They even sent half of their soldiers to intercept our retreat and block our retreat. We transfer cattle, sheep and horses!"

Fan Wencheng frowned and said solemnly.

Then, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Ye Bilong behind him, saying:
"E Bilong can testify for the slaves. At that time, E Bilong was also at the top of the city, and he even personally took the stone to fight back against the Ming army. General E Bilong is the most clear about the reality of the Ming army."

"Yi Bilong, tell me!" Huang Taiji said.

"Master, everything Master Fan said is true!" Ye Bilong said.

Huang Taiji frowned.

"Is there something wrong with my king's deduction?"

However, soon, he shook his head and his eyes became firm.

"One thing is absolutely unmistakable. The strong land army only has a few hundred people! If they have more than 1000 reinforcements on the front line of Guan Ning, why wait until now?"

Huang Taiji didn't continue to say words that would damage morale.

The idea in his heart is very clear. If the Ming army really has an army of more than [-] or even more on the Guanning line of defense, and its equipment is as powerful as the Qiangdi army, how can it be possible to lose consecutive battles and lose ground for many years? ?

I'm afraid they have been driven to the deep mountains and forests a long time ago!
"There is a saying in the art of war, the false is the real, the real is the false, the false is the real, the way to use soldiers. The strong army must be well versed in this way. If it is in Tieling, it is the main force of the strong army...

In addition, Liaoyang has also been lost.In this way, there should be at least two hundred soldiers in Liaoyang.So, the 2000 people they came from the west are..."

"bluff!"

Fan Wencheng's eyes lit up, and he continued.

"Yes! Bluff!"

Huang Taiji laughed.

"Among the two thousand Ming troops from the west, there are definitely no more than a hundred soldiers. It must be the strong army who wants to swallow the entire Liaodong, but they are afraid that when they send troops to fight Anle, Kaiyuan, Fuzhou and Jinzhou, Our Eight Banners army will attack their void from behind and retake Shengjing.

So, they sent out two thousand auxiliary soldiers, bluffing!He thought that our Eight Banners army was disturbed by the epidemic, and seeing these 2000 troops, he must not dare to make a move.Today, I will give him a surprise! "

"Master is wise!" Fan Wencheng admired him greatly.

"This is the opportunity God gave us! After taking down these 2000 troops, our Eight Banners army will definitely be able to revive the morale! Then, take advantage of the victory and attack to retake Shengjing!" Huang Taiji clenched his fists, his eyes bright.

The excitement at this moment made him feel that Dajin Kingdom could still be saved.

The biggest trouble now is that the epidemic is prevalent among the Jurchen army.

Huang Taiji had already ordered that the banners be scattered on the grasslands with a radius of hundreds of miles, with Niulu as the unit.

As long as soldiers with symptoms of illness are found, they will be driven out of the camp immediately.

Even so, the number of sick soldiers reported by various Niulu every day made Huang Taiji's scalp tingle.

Around Huang Taiji, elites from various banners were scattered.

As soon as he gave an order, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were gathered.

However, there are only tens of thousands of horses.

Because the Eight Banners army is scattered too far, if you want to gather more people, you need to wait too long.

The fighter jets are fleeting.

Huang Taiji didn't have time to wait any longer, he personally commanded the army, and marched towards the West Route Army of the Ming army.

Tens of thousands of cavalry, mighty momentum.

The scouts of the conquering army naturally discovered the enemy's situation early and came back to report.

"Good! Great!"

The regiment commanders of the Seventh Army and Eighth Army are Zheng Qiang and Gu Er respectively.

Not only did they not panic when they got the information, but they were so excited that their eyes lit up.

"Hey! In this vast prairie, if the Tartars are determined to run away, it's really not easy for us to catch up to and wipe them all out. It's really great that they have come here on their own initiative now!"

Without saying a word, the two immediately chose a higher place to camp. Esco's blast-proof wall was erected to form a simple fortress. The commander pulled out the cannon and was ready to shoot.

Zheng Qiang and Gu Er took out military maps and began to study the terrain.

"According to intelligence, there are about 1 enemy troops, not many. However, according to the banners, Huang Taiji has already dispatched himself, and he is in this army." Zheng Qiang held a cigarette in his hand and stepped On the stool, standing at the table, head to head with Gu Er, looking at the map.

"This is really a big fish! We must not let him escape! If we can catch Huang Taiji, our Seventh and Eighth Legion will definitely be the first!" Gu Er excitedly said.

"Damn it! It's second to none, the key is to be able to brag for a lifetime! I'll drink with Niu Dali and the others in the future, and see if they dare to brag about their record!"

The two sang together, and their goals were unprecedentedly the same. They both wanted to capture Huang Taiji alive, and at worst, they had to be beaten to death.

"The Tartars come from this direction. When they are defeated, they will definitely flee in this direction. They have an army of [-], and they are all cavalry. At that time, they will run all over the mountains...even if it is [-] sheep, they want to catch them all. It also takes a lot of effort.

Zheng Qiang, your Seventh Army Corps is divided into two parts, cut off their retreat from the left and right.As for the main battlefield, just leave it to our Eighth Army. "Gu Er said.

"Why? You want to eat meat, let us drink soup! I won't do it! The task of frontal combat must be undertaken by our Seventh Army! Damn! You still want our Seventh Army to be divided into two parts... ...I'm dreaming!" Zheng Qiang stared.

Unlike the timid battle of the Ming army, Zhao Cheng's soldiers have always been fighting for combat tasks.

This is also the atmosphere that Zhao Cheng deliberately cultivated.

If you can grab the combat mission, it means that the captain and legion commander are qualified.

If you can't get it... sorry!Your squad, or legion, has no combat missions and no rewards.

As a captain, you have to explain to your subordinates later—why can other captains get combat missions but you can’t?Are you the captain, can you do it?
When Gu Er and Zheng Qiang were the team captains, they often competed for combat missions, and it is still the case now.

"Old Zheng, why are you arguing with me? Are you as qualified as I am? Besides, there must be a division of labor in battle. The commander-in-chief said that the tasks and tasks of the commander-in-chief's mansion only have different divisions of labor. There is a distinction between high and low. How about this, I will give you a box of Maotai... a box! Not a bottle. How about you leave me the task of fighting head-on?" Gu Er approached with a smile.

Zheng Qiang's eyes brightened obviously, and then, he seemed to pretend to hesitate and said:

"This is not my business alone. My soldiers also have to get some benefits. The next batch of happy water quota, your legion's, give us half."

"no problem!"

Gu Er readily agreed.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

The two agreed that Zheng Qiang would step out of the big account.

"Legion Commander, you just agreed? After the thought committee heard about it, they must criticize you! How can you let the mission of frontal combat go?" As soon as he went out, the guard asked anxiously.

"Why, you don't want to drink happy water? Big deal, Moutai will let you have a cup!" Zheng Qiang asked back with a smile.

"Of course I want to drink it. But, you can't give up the task just for a glass of Moutai and a few bottles of happy water! At that time, the ideological committee will criticize me too. It's my fault that I didn't stop you!" The young guard pouted mouth.

"You little bastard! You are my bodyguard, why do you keep talking to the thought committee?"

Zheng Qiang stared.

"Military command is under the responsibility of the army commander, and the ideological committee is only doing ideological work, publicizing the policies of the general and the ideas of the Xianxing Society, don't you know?

Moreover, do you think I really gave up the task just for a box of Moutai and a batch of happy water?I have a hunch that the big fish this time is definitely in the rout.

As long as we arrive at the blocking location in time and stop the defeated army, we can catch big fish.Is Huang Taiji so easy to catch? "

Zheng Qiang was very excited.

……

Rumble!
The horseshoes trampled, the ground trembled, and the dust evaporated.

The Jurchen army is [-], mighty and mighty.

The great Khan of the Kingdom of Jin and the owner of the Zhenghuang Banner, Huang Taiji, the owner of the Inlaid Blue Banner, Jierhalang, and the owner of the Inlaid Red Banner, Yue Tuo...

There are three banner owners alone.

Huang Taiji's face was serious.

Although he had shown full confidence before, he concluded that the two thousand Ming troops were bluffing, of which there were definitely no more than a hundred soldiers.

But when things come to an end, it is still inevitable to be nervous.

This is a strong army!
Moreover, the scouts they sent out suffered repeated losses, and more than half of them were knocked out, and the rest of them huddled near the army, not daring to go far to get information.

The strong ground army's night refusal is simply too powerful!Equipped with long guns and short guns, they can fire consecutively... so that the brave Jurchen Sentinels dare not fight them head-on, and often turn around and run away when they see them from a distance.
