The governor of the Ming Dynasty has seven provincial military gates, and the rank of secretary of the military department, how can Mu Bo Shi Kefa not use soldiers in overcoming difficulties?

They don't know how to use soldiers, how can they governor the military gates of the seven provinces?

Since the battle of Chongzhen's seventeenth year when the overseer army went north to King Qin, he has been leading, training, and using troops, and he has also brought out the Qufu training army, one of the six towns in the north of the Ming Dynasty, from scratch.

In the more than three years of his career, Shi Kefa relied on the elite soldiers of Jiancheng to fight to the death with the Dongyu, and there were always thirty or forty battles, although he was not experienced in a hundred battles, but he was also one of the best among the Wenchen who led the troops in the Ming Dynasty.

And he is not fighting with the rogues and the local bandits, the opponents of these thirty or forty big battles and small battles are all full of color!

That's the capture of Hong Chengchou and the killing of Lu Xiangsheng!

He Shi Kefa fought with such a terrible Dongyu for three years, first of all, he was not killed, and he is still hot and panting!

Secondly, he didn't let Dongyu arrest him, he is still the governor of the Ming Dynasty!

Third, the whole army was not wiped out, although there was a lot of defeat, but the Qufu training army was still there, and the more you fought, the more courageous you became!

Fourth, Qufu City has not been lost! And he also broke the Yishui camp and Yanzhou Mansion City in Dongyu several times!

Therefore, in the future history, Shi Kefa Shi Inspector is undoubtedly a typical scholar in charge of the army, and the Confucian commander of the Ming Dynasty.

The Confucian handsome Shi Kefa, who was standing on a high ground on the shore of Surabaya, was frowning at this time, looking at the mighty army that could barely see the head and tail, driving out of Ziyang City in a steady stream, and then stepping on the frozen Surabaya and heading north.

Stevens and several military staff members accompanied him, and from time to time there were rumors passing by and loudly reporting the military situation, while the staff took out notebooks to record and whispered to exchange opinions, and then Stilwell reported to Shi Kefa.

"My lord, the Donglu in the Yishui camp has also sent troops, and Li Zongrong is leading the horse team to block their forwards!"

Shi Kefa smiled coldly, "Sure enough! Ben Shuai knew that Dorgon was not so easy to deceive. ”

Stevenway complimented, "Your Excellency is wise." ”

Shi Kefa said with a smile: "Go and give Liu Zongrong an order and ask him to set up a car formation in Ningyang County." ”

"Whoa!"

Stilwell said yes, and then beckoned to the cavalry who had given the order.

As a Confucian commander who can use soldiers, Shi Kefa certainly knows how to use the chariot formation to get rid of the pursuit of the enemy cavalry.

Of course, the speed of the chariot is slow, not to mention that Shi Kefa does not have enough mules and horses, even if he has horses, he can't outrun the cavalry.

However, Shuai Shi also had a way to deal with Dorgon, which was to take out a part of the side vans to form a car formation, and then leave a small number of one-pound cannons and cavalry to guard the car formation and bluff.

The Qufu coalition army, the Shandong regimental training, and the Denglai regimental training (Zuo Maodi's army) are now experienced, and Dolgon does not dare to treat them as rookie weak soldiers and deal with them casually. Once they were out of formation, Dorgon had to turn up their cannons.

And there is always a process of arranging artillery, repeatedly bombarding, destroying the car formation, and then charging the infantry cavalry. If you're careful, you'll have to work for hours!

It is only more than 80 miles from Ziyang to the Dawen River, and if the army marches overnight, it will be almost able to deal with it if it throws down two or three car formations along the way and gives up a few hundred side vans.

If that doesn't work, then leave some cavalry to cooperate with the squad of the chauff battalion after the break - the chariot battalion is a flower team, almost a team of thirty people, composed of firecrackers, pikemen, sword soldiers, and archers. If such a configuration is not based on a partial van, it is not possible to play a dignified array. However, it is better to use it as a skirmisher than the model infantry of the battalion unit, and if it is combined with some cavalry, plus three bluff car formations, it makes the pursuing Dolgon a little dizzy.

......

The sound of cannons and guns rang out sporadically, and there was never a time to stop. The sound of shouting and killing, the sound of golden drums, the hoofs and neighing of the horses when they galloped, also came and went.

On the north bank of Surabaya, from the afternoon of 22 November, the vanguard units of the Qing army, which had been slaughtered from the Yishui camp, collided with the rearguard of the Ming army retreating from the city of Ziyang. Fierce battles raged on all fronts across the vast plains!

First, the cavalry and infantry squads of the two sides fought each other, the cavalry charged each other, the guns and bows and arrows fired at each other, and then the dismounted Manchurian warriors and the Ming army chariot team fought together.

Of course, the Qing army has the advantage, and the soldiers of the old Eight Banners are better than the regimental training in Shandong Towns! However, this advantage does not reach the point of destroying the withering and decaying.

Shi Kefa's procurement of firearms was carried out through the "royal merchant" Shen Tingyang, although this guy is a businessman, but he is much more honest than the various "supervisors" managed by the original Ministry of Industry and the internal servants, and he is a great loyal businessman!

The firecrackers he sold to the Qufu regiment were mainly three-barrels from Japan and turtledoves produced by the Dengzhou Iron Workshop, the former not only did not explode, but could also be filled with gunpowder. Although the amount of medicine after the double loading was not as good as that of the Spanish light arquebus, it was enough to penetrate the three layers of heavy armor of the Manchurian warriors at a distance of thirty paces!

However, the cloth iron armor worn by the fire gun soldiers trained by the Qufu regiment can prevent the bows and arrows of the large army from firing.

The pikemen and sword soldiers, who are mainly responsible for hand-to-hand combat tasks, are mostly wearing long iron armor - all of them are good things that have been eliminated by the new army of Kenan (the new army of Kenan is popularizing slatted armor and plate armor), and now they are all issued to Qufu regimental training, and the soldiers wearing this armor are called "iron man army", all of them are men with great length and strength. When they charged, they all shouted "Saint Kong's blessing, invulnerable", and they were all afraid of death!

After a battle with this group of elite palace troops, Dolgon's Nine Banners elite was a little shrunken, so after crashing into the car formation surrounded by partial vans, he didn't dare to attack rashly. I had to pull up the Hongyi small cannon and a catty cannon and bombard them step by step...... Although this style of play can guarantee victory, the speed of the pursuit slows down.

......

When night fell, the battlefield on the south bank of the Dawen River was still filled with cannons, guns, shouts of killing, and screams. In the Wolongyu Grand Canyon of Mount Tai, one hundred and forty or fifty miles to the north, Zhu Cihong rode on a horse, and marched in the dim moonlight with the generals of the generalissimo's mansion and the horse convoy of the guards and pro-army. Although most of the people in this group had horses, very few were still riding on horseback, and most of them were like infantrymen, walking on their legs open.

In front of them were the Guards Division and the Forward Division of the Model Army, as well as two ironclad cavalry regiments, all of which also marched on foot. The reason for this is to save valuable horsepower - war horses are very delicate animals, and excessive use can cause damage and even injure their lives.

Even if they are carefully cared for, they are not a "long-lasting asset", and as a rule, a war horse can only serve well for three to five years.

It has been almost four years since Zhu Cihong's regime moved south......

In these four years, except for one or two hundred good horses from the sea (mainly folded horses), Nanming almost never got qualified war horses.

Of course, Nanming has a way to buy horses from the north, but there are very few high-quality horses that can be used as war horses, and there are not even a few horses that can be used as military horses (folded ear horses can also be improvised).

Therefore, when Zhu Cihong was halfway through the Shandong campaign, he issued an order to strictly protect the horses.

However, no matter how much it is protected, after this sports war is over, the number of war horses and horses of the Southern Ming army will inevitably be greatly reduced...... If Dolgon, a traitor, continues to move, Emperor Zhu's elite soldiers will not be good, but his bad horses will probably have to die of a large number of them!

In the night, three horsemen galloped over, and when they arrived in front of Emperor Zhu's team, they were stopped by the foreman guard Lu Renjia and his troops.

Lu Renjia asked about the situation clearly, and immediately galloped to Zhu Cihong's horse: "Emperor, Shi Kefa is playing, the Shandong army has already fought with the main force of Dongyu, and is fighting and retreating, retreating to the Dawen River." ”

Zhu Cihong took a breath of cool air, greeted him backwards, and several soldiers who led the horses immediately turned over and got on their horses.

Zhu Cihong said: "Order all teams, speed up the march, and be sure to reach the front line of the Dawen River before dark on the 24th!" ”
