I'm a big dick

Chapter 420 Azig's Battle

That's how war is, and no one can predict the outcome before it starts.In other words, no one knows the price to be paid for winning or losing.

To this end, both the enemy and ourselves must make adequate preparations.Although the results may be unexpected, the ending does not go as planned.

Yue Tuo and Tong Yangxing did not expect that such a situation would result when attacking the inferior Ming army with superior forces. They did not expect that the Ming army's artillery scale and range underestimated the favorable terrain of the "Queyue formation" set up by the Ming army.

There was no roundabout attack, and even the flank attack was very reluctant. Just such a frontal confrontation, even the tactical layout of the siege and isolation of the Ming army in southern Liaoning was far inferior.

Yue Tuo was finally woken up by the artillery fire, and the disproportionate casualties made him realize that even if he could wipe out the Ming army crossing the river, the price he paid would be unbearable for the two red flags that had been injured and had not yet recovered.

What's more, in the face of the Ming army's ferocious artillery and muskets, and the continuous water transport of troops for reinforcements, Yue Tuo didn't have much confidence in destroying the enemy.

It's not a half-cross attack at all.

Yue Tuo led his troops away from the battlefield, looking back unwillingly.Thinking about it now, the Ming army should have deliberately done this to lure them into action.

If you wait until the pontoon bridge is erected and some of the Ming army comes over before launching an attack, it will be called a half-cross attack, and the result may be different.

Yue Tuo shook his head, not confident about it either.The Ming army's firepower was too strong, refreshing his cognition time and time again, and hitting his psychology time and time again.

Jiannu withdrew, left the battlefield, defeated but not chaotic.In other words, after a small setback, there is still room to spare.

The Ming army did not chase after them, and held their positions steadily.Reinforcements are still coming by boat, grenadiers, ammunition and supplies are also coming in, and they are already invincible.

Xiong Tingbi put down the binoculars, his face was very calm.

Jiannu's retreat caught him by surprise.In his view, the offensive is only the beginning stage, and has not yet entered the real fierce battle.

If the two armies meet in hand-to-hand combat, our army will not be defeated.Under the bombardment of more than a hundred artillery pieces, the casualties of Jiannu will be even more severe, and it is very possible that they will be devastated.

Jiannu chose to retreat because he wanted to preserve his strength and make achievements in the next offensive and defensive battle of Haizhou Guard, so that he could continue to contain our army from attacking the city.

Xiong Tingbi judged Jiannu's intention, and the corners of his mouth twitched like a sneer.

.....................

learn from mistakes.

A battle in Haicheng River can be said to be Yue Tuo's wise choice.

It can also be seen from this that Jiannu's strength has not risen but declined in a few years, and he has a forward-looking and timid thinking when fighting.

But for some generals who built slaves, they did not have such battlefield experience as Yue Tuo.In other words, they are still stuck in their previous understanding of the Ming army, and their tactical style of play has also solidified without changing.

Surrounding Haizhou in southern Liaoning and Jianzhou in eastern Liaodong are the two major battlefields where the enemy and us are currently fighting.

Yue Tuo suffered a small setback and retreated in a timely manner without any injuries. However, Azig, this young boy, did not have Yue Tuo's experience and experience, nor did he have the composure and patience.

Different people have different experiences in life, and their ideas and methods of dealing with problems are also different.

Azig is not only young and energetic, but also a new leader of Zhengbaiqi.Although no one dared to object to Nurhachi's arrangement, Azig could also feel that the senior generals of Zhengbaiqi might not be convinced of him.

Who made him the fourth little Baylor? He made his debut late.Whether it is military merit or qualifications, they are much worse than the four Baylors.

Therefore, he needs to prove himself with military merits, and prove that he is not the banner owner because of the favor of his father Khan.And from this, the morale of the army to win the Zhengbai Banner will be remembered by those generals who think they have made great contributions and have high qualifications.

Despite his eagerness to make contributions, Azig was not reckless.When Mao Chenglu's troops attacked the northern part of Jianzhou and Mao Wenlong led the army to advance steadily, he was not in a hurry to fight, but was waiting for a chance.

Similar to the situation in southern Liaoning, the Taizi River between the two armies is a barrier and a natural dividing line.From Azig's point of view, it is natural that he does not want to cross Henan to attack the Ming army.

If the Ming army crossed the river to attack, it would not only fight against the water, but also transport food and supplies, the situation would be at a disadvantage.Once defeated, Taizihe became a natural enemy.

Based on this consideration, Azig led the main force to wait for work at Yahu Pass, while Du Du led a team to deal with the harassment of Mao Chenglu's troops.

However, Mao Wenlong led the army very steadily. Every time he occupied a fort, he carefully built a position as a relay base or a stable stronghold, and then moved forward.

In particular, a wall fort and a pine tree mouth, the layout of the defense is more careful and meticulous, firmly controlling the section of Taizi River between the two forts.

Almost as cautious as the Ming army in southern Liaoning, Mao Wenlong's troops made full preparations on the south bank of the Taizi River before erecting a pontoon bridge and setting up camp across the river.

The scouts sent by Azig continued to send back news, and Azige felt that there was no opportunity to take advantage of the Ming army's cautious actions.

At the same time, Azig also felt the increasing pressure.If the Ming army just marched forward for the camp step by step, what would they do?

Moreover, some people in Zhengbaiqi didn't accept him very much in the first place, and took his waiting for the opportunity to act as timidity.Although he didn't dare to say it clearly, some rumors still reached Azig's ears.

Why, if Sibeile is here, how can he be so timid, shrinking in the crow's falcon pass?Sibeile had already led the army to fight, and defeated the Ming army neatly...

Azige took over Zhengbai Qi, and he also brought some cronies over.As for which people in Zhengbai Banner were dissatisfied, they had known a lot for such a long time.

But Azig didn't have a good way to deal with this kind of behind-the-scenes discussion.After all, his prestige in Zhengbaiqi has not yet been established.

Fortunately, at this depressing time, the Ming army finally showed its flaws, allowing Azig to see the opportunity to win and make meritorious deeds.

A Ming army of more than 2000 people set out from Songshukou as a vanguard and advanced towards Weizi Valley.According to the report of the reconnaissance cavalry, there were more than [-] troops to respond afterwards, but the two armies were separated by three or four miles.

The aggressive enemy is the combination of the two Ming armies, and Azig believes that he can defeat it by fighting.

As for why the Ming army showed such a flaw, Azig felt that the advance was too smooth and there was no strong resistance.

Therefore, the Ming army thought that they were going to rely on the danger of Yahu Pass, wait for work with leisure, and fight decisively at the pass.

Weizigu is the last fortress before Yahu Pass, and the Ming army occupied it first with [-] people. It is not only a stronghold for continuing to attack, but also a test for the later Jin army.

In any case, now that he had the opportunity, Azig decided to attack, severely injuring or even annihilating the advancing Ming army.

Although Azig knew about the defeat of the Two Red Banners in southern Liaoning, he didn't know much about the battle at that time.

He still despised Daishan a little bit in his heart, he couldn't win the siege of more than a thousand Ming troops, but was beaten inside and outside, he was really incompetent.

The current situation is somewhat similar, and Azig certainly does not think that he will repeat the same mistakes.

Leaving 2000 people guarding the Raven Pass, Azig personally led [-] cavalry to Weizi Valley, and a great battle broke out.

In fact, Weizi Valley is not a valley, but a fortress along the Great Wall of Liaodong.Jiannu rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong fell, and Weizi Valley lost its original value.

For so many years, Weizigu Fort has been in disrepair and dilapidated.Since it cannot function as a fortress, Jiannu is not too worried about being occupied by the Ming army.

The same is true for the fortresses that the Ming army occupied along the way. They were either dilapidated for a long time, or they were demolished by Jiannu. They could not become strongholds and fortifications that the Ming army could hold on to immediately.

However, the construction of the forts along the Great Wall of Liaodong has reasons and has been inspected. The distance, terrain, guarding the main road, etc. are definitely beneficial.

Therefore, regardless of whether it was dilapidated or not, it would be more time-saving and labor-saving for the Ming army to use these fortifications as their bases and rebuild fortifications to defend them.

More than [-] Ming troops rushed to Weizi Valley before Jiannu, and immediately began to excavate and build fortifications based on the dilapidated fortress.

When Azig arrived with his army, the Ming army had just dug a circular trench, which was neither wide nor deep.

Looking at this crude fortification, Azig was a little proud.If he hadn't acted decisively, it would not be so easy to attack when the Ming army's fortifications were completed.

"Zhuona, Damub—" Azig glanced at the general in front of him, and ordered in a deep voice, "You two lead 3000 troops to stop the Ming army."

Zuoling Zhuo Na and Bei Yu Da Mubu are veterans of Zhengbai Banner, and they are also generals who don't have much respect for Azig, and they often talk about it in private.

Hearing Azig's order, the two were dissatisfied in their hearts, but they didn't dare to disobey, and bowed to accept the order.

Azig's face was stern, and he solemnly explained: "Ben Belle led the army to attack this Ming army. Before the battle is over, you must not let the enemy go. Otherwise, military law will be followed."

Zuoling Zhuo Na and Bei Yu Da Mubu felt that Azig was deliberately finding fault, but they didn't care too much.Three thousand is against two thousand. It is not easy to block the enemy, and it is possible to kill the enemy in one fell swoop!

Watching the two lead their troops away, Azig turned his head and began to arrange offensive operations.

The ditch is narrow and shallow, and there is only one parapet; there are no annoying wooden piles, only some wooden carts, and dozens of simple grenade carts...

Just a little observation, Azig felt that the chances of winning were great.But he still made more thoughtful arrangements, feinting on three sides to contain the attack, and one side to attack and break through.

The cavalry dispatched quickly without carrying chariots, but there were still heavy armored soldiers, and there was no shortage of strong bows and arrows.Under the balance, Azig launched the attack with confidence.

Kong Youde held up the binoculars, smoke and dust flew up in his field of vision, and the Jiannu cavalry charged forward, shouting and shouting.

A ferocious face came into sight, it was an unknown Jiannu officer, the flesh on his face trembled with the ups and downs of the horse.

He is a guy who has experienced many battles, and his riding and martial arts should be very good.

Kong Youde pursed his lips slightly, revealing a sneer.

No matter how powerful it is, it is no match for a cheap lead bullet.Death, equal, does not pick and choose.
