Chapter Ninety-Three: Reducing Danger
Time flies, and the Ming army, which once expelled Meng Yuan, completely degraded in the year of Chongzhen.
Thinking about how majestic Qi Jiguang was when he was in Jizhen, who was Li Chengliang's iron cavalry that swept Liaodong?
Everyone reads the war book, Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "The Actual Record of Military Training" can be described as classic textbooks from selecting troops to training and then arranging troops, but what is the use?
The civilian officials and military officers of the Ming army were beaten to the horror of the wild boar skin that they didn't recognize a single big character, and the illiterate famous generals rose among the barbarians.
Saying a thousand words and 10,000 soldiers, tens of thousands of words are sprinkled with tens of thousands of words, and the word "dare to fight" is not yet effective, and the Ming army now lacks the courage to dare to fight.
Now it is obvious that the daring thinking of generals such as Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian has been provoked a little bit, and this is enough, as long as they can take advantage and not suffer losses, there will be earth-shaking changes next.
Liu Zhilun actually wished that Jiannu would come to Zunhua so that he could test whether the city defense that 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and civilians had spent more than a month reinforcing was extraordinary.
He was also an expert in firearms, and even such a whimsical idea as a wooden cannon dared to put into practice.
The deployment of Zunhua City was personally arranged by Liu Zhilun, and the wooden artillery with the Hongyi cannon and the firepower network organized by the gun could hit two or three hundred paces, and it was completely possible to provide fire support for the Ming cavalry along the root of the city wall.
The cavalry of Jiannu and Tatar approached the periphery of Zunhua City for a mile and would face artillery attacks causing casualties, and I am afraid that there is no need to chase around Zunhua, and the roles will be reversed, so this arrangement can really ensure that the attacking troops will not suffer big losses.
Liu Zhilun thought that the Zunhua cavalry should be foolproof when they went out of the city to attack the Jiannu sentry horse, so he simply gave military orders to Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian.
He said: "Ma Jingluo, General Wu Soldiers, this official orders you to take your headquarters cavalry out of the city tomorrow afternoon, clear the Jiannu sentry horse reconnaissance cavalry outside Zunhua City, and pursue thirty miles. ”
Liu Zhilun is just a right-hand squire of the third-grade military department, and he actually gave orders to the super-first-grade military generals, isn't it weird?
This is not surprising, the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty both ruled the military with literature, and in the end they were destroyed by the barbarians, and I am afraid that the low status of the warriors is also one of the most important factors.
Zunhua City has thousands of tiger and wolf divisions of the "Red Banner Army", and Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian are actually much more stable in their hearts.
They also knew that there were not many Jiannu and Tartars stationed in Santun Yingcheng, and now the two armies were in the stage of strategic stalemate, and the Ming army was the first to attack by surprise, and they should be completely sure of the calculation of dozens of rangers.
The two of them were happy to receive the order, and they said that they would personally lead their family members to participate in the raid tomorrow.
The purpose of Huang Han's visit to Zunhua was to prepare to fight a few more cheap battles and grab some war horses, gold and silver, and by the way, let Emperor Chongzhen, who gave the "Red Flag Army" the honor of fighting on Chang'an Street, a good impression of successive victories.
On the way to Zunhua, Huang Han, who came prepared, had already discussed with his subordinates where to start first, and immediately ran away.
Huang Han's command has more than a dozen warriors whose hometowns are in the north of Zunhua, and they are very familiar with every grass and tree here, and the marching route formulated and the retreat route after success have been carefully studied by brainstorming.
The courage of the current Huang Han is much stronger than three months ago, and his strength is completely different, and the combat skills of a dozen or so amateur cavalrymen who have served for more than three years are certainly not comparable.
Knowing that the main force of the Houjin army was not near Zunhua and Santun camps at all, and knowing that Wakda, the main general of the Houjin army guarding Santun camp, needed a large number of men and horses to stay behind, it seemed more sour to give the Houjin army a ruthless look to send supplies outside the pass.
After the convoy is completed, there should be enough time to get the captured transfer.
In this era, there was no radio communication, and when the fish that slipped through the net ran back to Santun Camp City to report the attack, and then sent troops from Santun Camp City to drive dozens of miles of mountain roads to the attack site, I am afraid that it will not be possible to do it for most of the day.
Moreover, Wakda faced the direction of Zunhua in the west, and dispatched more than 2,000 Ming troops to kill in the direction of Santun Yingcheng, and he should not have figured out what the Qingming army wanted in a short time.
Immediately afterwards, I heard that the team escorting the materials through Longjing Pass out of the side wall was beaten by the "Red Banner Army", and the materials were completely lost, Aha ran away without a trace, and the armored people who escorted them died violently.
This should be a lot of fun, and Wakda should be as big as a fight. Huang Han was very curious about how the Jiannu guards who were trapped in the city of sorrow would transfer troops next?
The Ming army had the example of taking only one hour to go down to Zunhua City, and Wakda was afraid that he would be afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past and had to be cautious.
He must leave enough troops to prevent the Ming army from raiding and capturing the city, how many cavalry can he send to the west to fight Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian's cavalry? How many cavalry are you going to send to the north to track down, and I don't know how many of the "Red Banner Army" people and horses that have seized the looting results of the Houjin army?
Everything is unknown, and I'm afraid that with the low IQ of the Tunguska savages, they can't think of a good way.
Liu Zhilun actively cooperated with Huang Han's action, and Zunhua City adopted strict control over the entry and exit of the "Red Banner Army" since it entered, and the purpose was of course to prevent spies and expose our army's action plan.
In order to maintain the concealment of his actions, all the fighters who attacked the attack ate early and slept early, and quietly went on the road to the mountains in the early morning.
The choice to launch a surprise attack on the second day of arriving in Zunhua was to avoid long nights and dreams, after all, the Ming army's sense of secrecy was vague, and it was easy for everyone to know about big and small things.
In case their own plans are exposed, the Houjin Army will come to wait for a net, and it is possible that none of the "Red Flag Army" will be able to escape, so playing the most scientific game can also minimize the danger.
Only one-third of the route chosen by the "Red Banner Army" could be ridden on horseback, and there were about 30 miles to lead the horses on foot, and the reserved ambush point was a small basin of about 1,000 or 2,000 mu called Pisces Valley.
This is the necessary place to pass through Santun Yingcheng to Longjing Pass, there is a small village called Pisces Village, there should be more than 100 families before being destroyed by Jiannu, and the population is not less than 1,000.
Among Huang Han's warriors, there was a cavalryman named Pei Daneng, who was from Pisces Village, and it was he who proposed to arrange an ambush for the dog Tartars here.
The village of Pisces is close to the side wall, and the people here are the first to bear the brunt, but now the village is deserted, and a small number of people have fled into the vast Yanshan Mountains, most of whom have either been killed or become post-jin aha.
It was less than the fourth watch, and it was a few days without a moon at the end of the month, and Huang Han took his subordinates to take advantage of the starry sky to walk on the rugged mountain road.
No one in the "Red Banner Army" complained that they were tired, not even a single one said strange things, and everyone was inexplicably excited.
