Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 70 First Battle
Chongzhen was Xiazhen who arrived the next day.

I took the Xinqu of Xiazhen, which is closer, and I sailed along the water, so I arrived in three days.

But when Chongzhen arrived in Xiazhen, he learned that Huang Degong had taken a town of frontier troops to Yanzhou along the canal north two days ago, because Jiannu had attacked Linqing.

Huang Degong knew the importance of Xiazhen, but he had the responsibility to guard the land, so Huang Degong only brought a town of frontier troops north to support Linqing.

Chongzhen was not angry either.

A large-scale field battle with Jiannu is a gift, but a small field battle of a thousand people can still be fought. After all, according to historical records, the Jiannu who went south were partial teachers.

Huang Degong's army's combat effectiveness is also not bad.

Chongzhen immediately called Jin Xuan and Zheng Hongkui to him.

This time going north, more than 2700 members of Jin Xuan's family also followed, but they have not yet been integrated.

As for Hu Guozhu's Qianyi Ding, they had already become Chongzhen's de facto personal guards, and naturally they followed Chongzhen wherever he went.

"Jin Aiqing, Zheng Aiqing, you two stay here."

"My lord!" Jin Xuan and Zheng Hongkui changed their faces when they heard this.

Jin Xuan tried his best to persuade: "Your Majesty, let me lead the five army battalions north to support."

Zheng Hongkui also took the initiative to invite Ying: "Your Majesty, Uncle Jingnan went north along the canal. I led the navy to catch up with them in two days, and our navy can move back and forth on the canal. It is difficult for barbarian cannons to hit us, but our Fran cannons can hit them..."

"Okay, you two stop talking." Chongzhen interrupted directly.

"Uncle Jingnan is responsible for guarding the land, so it's no problem to lead his troops north to rescue Dongchang Mansion, but our established national policy at this stage is to stick to Huanghuai and avoid field battles with Jiannu as much as possible."

"So, I will not fight head-on with Jianu."

Hearing this, Jin Xuan and Zheng Hongkui felt a little relieved.

As long as he doesn't fight Jiannu, a thousand barbarians are enough to protect the safety of the Holy One.

"You two must guard Xia Town well. There may be more than one line of Jiannu, and there may be another line of Jiannu suddenly rushing out from the direction of Teng County. Don't let Jianu kill you by surprise."

"Ministers, please remember." Jin Xuan and Zheng Hongkui solemnly agreed.

Chongzhen immediately ordered a thousand barbarians to go north.

……

Another day passed.

The slave-building division led by Aobai has advanced to Anshan Town in Dongping Prefecture.

At this time, four full days had passed since Jiannu was blocked in Linqing Prefecture.

Four days ago, Oboi confidently asked Gao Di to surrender, but he was sternly rejected.

In a rage, Aobai immediately ordered Gaodi to collect wood to build a siege ladder, and then launched an ant-attached siege on Linqing City, but was met with desperate resistance by Linqing Zhizhou Lingjie and Linqing soldiers and civilians.

Gaodi led his army to attack for a long time, but he failed to capture Linqing.

After Zu Zerun's Zhenghuang Banner Han army followed up, they could only stare blankly.

Because the Zhenghuang Banner Han army did not bring red cannons when they came out this time, but only relatively light Fran cannons, but it was impossible to attack the city with Fran cannons, it was too strenuous.

The siege has to be the Hongyi cannon.

Zu Zerun and Gao Di suggested that Obai besiege the city.

Then send people from Beijing to dispatch Hongyi Cannon to support.

Aobai didn't want to waste too much time in a small Linqing Prefecture.

Because Oboi knew that besides their embroidered yellow flags to appease Shandong this time, there were also two Jiala embroidered with white flags to appease Shanxi, and the leader was his old friend Jueluo Bahana.

In fact, not only Oboi and Jue Luo Ba Hana are old enemies.

The grievances between the two yellow flags and the two white flags have a long history.

This matter has to start with the change of flags by Huang Taiji. After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he and his son Hauge exchanged the two white flags held by him and his son Haoge with the two yellow flags held by Azige and Duoduo.

Although the personnel have not changed, the flag leaders have been reversed.

In other words, the current two white flags are the two yellow flags of the old slave era.

Therefore, in the hearts of old people with two white flags like Jueluo Bahana, they are the two yellow flags that are rooted in red, and they are the flag leaders led by the Great Khan himself. Baiyintu and Oboi are nothing.

Faced with the contempt from the soldiers of the two white flags, the soldiers of the two yellow flags, such as Baiyintu and Aobai, were naturally unhappy.

Even so, the two yellow flags and the two white flags just disliked each other, far from being incompatible. What really caused the two sides to fall out was the battle for sweat after Huang Taiji's death.

The two white flags naturally firmly supported Dorgon's succession to the Khan throne.

The two yellow flags supported Hauge, and the two sides almost clashed.

Later, because Dorgon turned to support Fulin's succession, the crisis was resolved, but the bridge between the two yellow flags and the two white flags was formed, and it is now incompatible.

Therefore, if Oboi loses to anyone, he is not willing to lose to Jue Luo Bahana.

Aobai was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger, so he decided to bypass Linqing City first and go to the hinterland of Dongchang Mansion to find a few market towns without city walls to carry out a few waves of massacres to vent his anger.

By the way, you can also grab a wave of population goods.

As for the military orders issued by Duo ErGun, Ao Bai had long since forgotten them.

As a result, he couldn't stop once he was killed, and went straight into the hinterland of Yanzhou Mansion, all the way to Anshan Town.

Looking at the Anshan Town slowly revealed in the morning light, Aobai showed a sinister smile, as if he had seen the women and children in the town crying, and the men being beheaded row by row.

There are also the property and livestock in the town, all of which belong to them.

"Master Oboi, the Han people in the town seem to be surrendering." Gao Di whispered.

"I didn't see it." Obai snorted coldly, and said to Yabran, "Follow the old rules!"

The beauty of attacking a market town without the protection of the city wall is naturally not the turn of the Han army flag, let alone Gao Di's descending army, it can only be the slaves with the yellow flag.

"The warriors with the yellow flag heard clearly,"

"Master Oboi has an order to kill all the men and leave the women and children behind!"

"The stolen property and livestock are not allowed to be kept privately, and the official position is assigned according to the position. Everyone has a share!"

"Batulu! Batulu! Batulu!" The more than 1500 slaves with yellow flags cheered enthusiastically.

The more than 1500 coat-coated slaves who followed the master of Jiannu also cheered, because they also have benefits. If the master is happy, he may reward them with a woman.

Amidst the cheers, Yabran was the first to ride his horse and rushed to the town. An elderly Han gentry was holding a watch and was about to come forward to surrender, but Yabran cut him down on the ground without any explanation.

"Killed! Killed! Jianu killed! Run!"

The two house slaves who followed the Han gentleman turned around and ran away.

Yabran let out a smirk, retracted the knife and sheathed it, and took out the big bow.

He drew his bow and set an arrow, and shot an arrow at one of the house slaves.

With a sound of "Xu", the three-foot-long heavy arrow pierced through the slave's body and nailed him to the ground.

Another house slave fell to the ground with his feet limp. Before he got up, the iron hoof had already trampled over him, and hundreds of Jian slave cavalry poured into Anshan Town like a tide.

After a while, Anshan Town boiled like a frying pan.

Seeing this, Oboi couldn't help laughing cruelly.

But in the next instant, the smile on Oboi's face froze.

Because suddenly two horns sounded from the south of Anshan Town.

Immediately afterwards, the unique swan sound of the Ming army's trumpet sounded, Ming army? !
Gao Di and Zu Runze, who were following Aobai, turned their heads in astonishment and looked to the south.

But I saw an infantry army slowly approaching along the east bank of the canal. Most of the soldiers were wearing bright red mandarin duck battle jackets and pointed bucket hat helmets. A sun and moon flag was waving in the wind.

This Ming army has about [-] people, including vans, and has already arranged a strict battle formation.

Seeing this, Oboi's face was slightly ashamed, this wave of carelessness, because this way south, except for the Ming army in a few cities such as Linqingzhou City and Dongchangfu City, there was no decent resistance. , so that everyone underestimated the enemy, and didn't even spread it out at night.

Fortunately, this is the Ming army, if there are thieves, it will be troublesome.

But besides being ashamed, Oboi wanted to laugh.

When did the Ming army become so courageous again?

How dare you come outside the city to fight with their Eight Banners soldiers?
Zu Runze was still very careful, and said to Oboi: "Lord Oboi, hurry up and let the warriors with the yellow flag take it back. This Ming army seems to be a little different, so be careful."

"Hey, since the killing has already started, how can the knife be sealed so quickly."

Aobai waved his hand and said: "As for the Ming army in front of you, you don't even need to take action from the Yellow Banner Han army, just leave it to Gao Zongbing to solve it."

"General Gao, are you alright?"

The last sentence was addressed to Gaudi.

What else could Gaudi say?I can only respond with a hoot.

Soon, Jiannu also set up a battle formation.

In front are Gaodi's 1500 soldiers, behind him is Zu Runze's Zhenghuang Banner Han army, a total of more than [-] people, and at the end is Oboi and his personal guard of more than [-] cavalry.

As for the more than 1500 slaves with the yellow flag,
At this time, they were burning, killing and looting in Anshan Town with their respective coats.

In fact, this is not because Aobai is arrogant, but on purpose.

How could Oboi have made such a mistake after fighting for more than ten years?
Aobai actually wanted to use Gao Di's surrender army to consume the Ming army first, then let Zu Runze's Zhenghuang Banner Han army launch a fatal blow to the Ming army, and finally let the Banner Banner soldiers of the Bordered Yellow Banner to harvest the fruits of victory.

In order to observe the whole battlefield more clearly, Oboi led more than fifty riders to climb up a small slope that is not high.

Standing on the slope and looking down, and with the help of the binoculars that Huang Taiji gave him, he could clearly see the battlefield by the canal.

I saw that the Ming army had changed.

The partial van that was originally placed in front has been pushed to the left and right sides.

Aobai couldn't help but nodded secretly, the Ming army is all mobs, but there are still many generals in the Ming army who can fight, the Ming army leader on the opposite side is also a well-informed soldier, and the purpose of protecting the two wings with a van is to guard against their yellow flags At the critical moment, the cavalry of the army gave him a fatal blow from both wings, but unfortunately, this was still in vain.

As soon as the camera turned, Obai cast his eyes on his own infantry formation.

I saw that Gaodi's three thousand surrendered soldiers had already lined up in a neat queue and were marching forward at a neat pace. The first row was a sword player, carrying a wooden card one person tall.

This kind of wooden sign is far less sturdy than the chariots of the Eight Banners soldiers.

But it is enough to resist arrows and guns.

As usual, the three rows behind are all gunners, holding bird guns.

The last three rows are spearmen, responsible for protecting the musketeers.

It can be seen from here that the Eight Banners soldiers have truly entered the age of firearms, and the proportion of firearms has exceeded [-]%, which is higher than that of the contemporary Spanish phalanx.
