The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 192
"Is that Lu Chang? Or Song or something?" Azig waved his hand impatiently, "Let Bai Yindai bring some people to kill him. How many times have I said, don't take such trivial matters in the future Bother me!"

Lu Chang and Song Jincheng have been closely following his army in recent days, intercepting and killing the teams sent by Tulai several times to plunder grain and grass, so that his army has not robbed a grain of rice for many days.However, these two Ming armies were weak in combat strength, and were defeated by eight hundred armored soldiers led by Bai Yindai.

The guard lowered his head in fright and argued, "I am reporting to Lord Belle, it seems that they are not from Lu Chang or Song Jincheng. The scouts reported back that the banner had no words on the blue background, only the sun and the moon were painted on it, and the soldiers were all wearing green short shirts."

Tulai was startled when he heard the words, and said to Azig: "Master Belle, according to this description, it is very similar to the Chen Wang of the Southern Barbarian in the intelligence center. Could it be..."

After losing Xianxia Pass, Boluo asked people to inquire about the news of the Ming army who broke through Xianxia Pass. Only then did they know that it was the same group of troops who defeated Jin Shenghuan's troops in Jiangxi several times.

Later, with the collection of intelligence from various places, they gradually learned that this Ming army was under the command of King Chen of the Ming Dynasty.Then I learned that it is well-equipped with firearms, has high morale, and is not weak in combat power. It is undoubtedly the main force of the Ming army in Fujian.

Azige asked suspiciously: "Didn't the news from Yanping say that ten days ago the Nanman King Chen attacked and destroyed the Boluo camp? If so, even if the Ming army hastily marched one after another, it is still seven or eight hundred miles away from Shanguandang." , how could it appear here?"

He said to the guard who was still kneeling in front of him: "Go, check again."

After a while, several teams of scouts reported back, all saying that they saw the main force of the Ming army, the strength of which was close to [-], and it was more than ten li away.

"Did these Ming soldiers fall from the sky?" Azig only felt a little annoyed. According to his and Boluo's original assumptions, even if the Ming soldiers found out their golden cicada's plan to escape their shells, it would take at least ten days before they arrived at Shanguan.At that time, with his 60 troops and more than [-] cannons, Shanguan will be captured in a day or two, and the Ming army will be blocked in Fujian.

But now the main force of the Ming army is approaching, which messed up all his plans.If they attack Shanguan again at this time, they will definitely be attacked by the Ming army later, and even if they are repelled, many Jianzhou warriors will surely be killed or injured.

Tulai said to Azig from the side: "Master Belle, it is said that this Ming army's firearms are extremely sophisticated and quite powerful. Previously, Tong Peng and Shi Fu's troops were all defeated by him." He deliberately did not say that Boluo was on Tens of thousands of horses were also defeated by this Ming army. "The lion fights the rabbit with all its strength, so we should pay attention to it."

When he left Yanping, Boluo told him that although Azig was very good at fighting, he was arrogant and irritable, so he asked him to remind him more and make more plans.

"Hmph!" Azige snorted coldly, "Tong Peng and Shi Fu are all weak Han Chinese, what kind of battle can they fight?
"But I have 1 elite troops under my command, especially more than [-] Jianzhou warriors who are skilled in bow and horse and are invincible. There are also more than a thousand Mongolian cavalrymen who are also quite brave. Such a strong army is enough More than [-] Ming troops were destroyed.

"You mean that the army's firearms are excellent? How can he use firearms better than Tong Yangjia's Eight Banners Han army? Only Tong Yangjia's more than 60 cannons can make these southern barbarians helpless."

"As long as my army moves, it will kill a mere [-] Ming troops like killing insects and ants!" He said proudly, "If you want me to say that this team of Nanman came at the right time. Killed that Chen Wang to avenge Boluo's killing, You can also take their army rations to feed our army."

Tulai opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

"While the southerners have just arrived and their foothold is not yet secure, the whole army will attack tomorrow and slaughter these ignorant southern barbarians!" Azige then ordered the army generals to be recruited, and after a little discussion, he began to issue military orders in high spirits: " Li Chengfen, I order you to lead your 2000 troops to garrison the Shanguan Pass and keep an eye on the Ming army. When our army is engaged in battle, don’t let them leave the pass to harass you.”

"Subordinates obey orders!"

It's not that Azigetuo is big. Although Li Chengfen's men are also Han Chinese, they are all strong and strong people who were selected and left behind when they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. In addition, they have been trained by Manchurians and rationed weapons. Their combat effectiveness is much higher than that of ordinary Ming troops. double.With these 2000 people forming a defensive formation, it is enough to deal with [-] Ming troops.

"Han Gushan, Zhang Cunren," Azige continued, "order the 7000 men and horses of your two troops to line up in front, and make sure to disrupt the enemy's formation so that the Chinese army can defeat the enemy!"

"Subordinate...obey the order." The two replied helplessly.

The so-called vanguard is often called "cannon fodder" by later generations, and it is usually the green battalion who surrendered like them.The function is to consume the enemy's physical strength and disrupt the enemy's formation.

Of course, in the face of an enemy with physical strength and momentum, the casualty ratio must be extremely high.Even in many cases, they are used to die and fill up the trenches in front of the enemy with their corpses.
