Chapter 1122: Enlightenment
"Tiger!"
All the more than 400 soldiers roared angrily, in front of them, the fierce enemy twice as large as them was pressing towards their side, several large flags were raised high, the enemy wearing various armor had hideous faces, the silver armor flashed in the black and gray armor, hundreds of people walked together, stepping on a lot of dust, which invisibly made the power of this infantry formation appear greater, behind the formation, the archers and bannermen were already preparing, and when they approached the distance of about 100 paces, they would keep throwing behind the formation, Always pose a threat to the big array here. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After roaring, the soldiers began to mumble to themselves.
"Come on, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
"Dad, you are watching in the spirit of heaven, and my son wants to kill Jianyu to avenge you."
"Daddy, Xiuniang and Xiaobao, they are all living a good life, living on the southern island, I heard that it is warm there, and my son is bent on killing the enemy and avenging you."
Among the Liao people, even if there are carefully selected strong men from their families to enlist in the army, almost every family still has a blood tent, and at least one or two relatives died in the previous disasters.
For Hutchison, he didn't deliberately find those Liao people who had blood feuds, but it was too difficult and too difficult to deliberately find Liao people who didn't have blood feuds.
The bald head stared at the blood-red eyeballs, and kept staring at the array.
If these 400 people were all carried by him from Li Zhuang to Jining Fort, then he would not have the slightest worry at all, he had enough training, a long time, and many battles, so he had nothing to fear at all, and he could make the Jurchens on the opposite side unable to eat and walk around.
But at present, the longest of these soldiers is less than a year, and the shortest is only five months, although they have been trained hard in the old forest, and they have also experienced a small-scale war, but most of these major battles are the first time to experience such a large-scale battle, and the bald man thinks that the Liao people have a characteristic, that is, they are tall, strong, and hot-tempered, compared with the Datong soldiers and the Xuanfu soldiers, the Liaozhen soldiers have a particularly strong atmosphere, but they are also a little less than the unique tenacity of the Qin soldiers.
However, this characteristic of the Liao people also has shortcomings, that is, the state comes and goes quickly, if the situation is downwind, the Liao soldiers will fight very comfortably, and can fight a very beautiful war result, but if it is a headwind, it is easy to lose confidence and cause chaos, and even collapse, resulting in unnecessary heavy losses.
The bald military science is already very good, he thinks that during the Renchen War, the main force of Liaozhen under the leadership of the general soldier Li Rusong, fought too smoothly in Pyongyang, and the Bihoguan met the enemy in a hurry, and the losses were too heavy under the headwind, causing Li Rusong to be disheartened and unwilling to wade into the troubled waters of the Korean battlefield, which is a typical style of Liao people from the commander to the soldiers.
Violent and easy to frustrate, it seems that Rui Ke will not be long, so these Liao soldiers, the first few formations can fight very decently, if they fight for a long time, they are likely to lose confidence, resulting in chaos in the array and deformation of tactics.
So the bald man has been urging the officers to encourage these Liaozhen recruits more, there is nothing to fear, this battle is won!
The agitated aura of the soldiers and horses on the opposite side was also easily noticed by Huang Taiji, and he frowned at the officers who were walking back and forth in the formation, shouting loudly.
The army on the opposite side, experience and combat skills do have deficiencies, but from all kinds of details, the command to the formation coordination is already impeccable, the Ming army did not fight like this, although the Jurchen method of formation battle is learned from Liaozhen, but the Ming army has lost the method of battle of the predecessors decades ago, this is not a myth, just like the thistle array, when Qi Jiguang was there, the car camp was equipped with the hollow enemy platform of the city wall, and the Karaqin people on the opposite side did not even dare to show up, and the successor of the general army was fierce, and often led the troops deep into the grassland, but it was the same as the ordinary general soldier, With one or two thousand Neiding, cavalry raids, in the face of a small number of Mongols, this style of play is very good, and the combat effectiveness of the elite Ming army Neiding is far above that of ordinary Mongolian armor soldiers and herdsmen. But when the other party dispatched tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, one or two thousand Ming troops didn't even dare to let out a fart, and they didn't dare to show up, and when Qi Jiguang was there, he was good at restricting the enemy with a formation queue, and each soldier could make the best use of his talents, the two were completely different categories and levels, but as soon as Qi Jiguang left, there was no general soldier on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty.
This is a lack of military science, and it is also a problem of the entire military system, a general can decide the survival of an empire, this is not glory, it is an out-and-out tragedy.
The feeling of uneasiness in Huang Taiji's heart began to become stronger, the Ming army in front of him was really tough, facing twice the enemy and the threat of all the Jurchen Eight Banners, it was not chaotic at all, and there was a strong confidence to fight a battle against the offensive position, which made Huang Taiji feel extremely surprised, he already felt that the Ming army in front of him was definitely not an ordinary soldier and horse of Dongjiang Town, and it was unlikely to be the Neiding of any general...... The general of the Ming army, Neiding Cangtou is indeed to be trained, but the training method and the infantry battle in front of him are completely two systems, and the practice is personal martial arts and cavalry combat, and the Ming army in front of him is definitely not from the system of the Ming army in Dongjiang.
"And Yusheng, Zhang Han!"
Almost at this moment, the most correct answer popped up in Huang Taiji's mind.
And Huang Taiji didn't think about it a second time, and immediately determined that the opponent in front of him was Hutchison's merchant army, and there was absolutely no second possibility.
Houjin and Daming tore their faces hard, with small clans against big countries, prior intelligence work was carried out at least for more than ten years, Nuerhachi repeatedly entered Beijing to pay tribute, from outside the border wall through the entire Liaodong Liaozhong Liaoxi, arrived at Yongping Zunhua Tongzhou into Beijing, all the way to travel nearly three thousand miles, all I saw was a withering, it was the Wanli Emperor's neglect period, after the middle was also the beginning of the Daming encounter the Xiaoice Age, so the people in the north were very difficult, and due to financial bankruptcy, the border military towns in various places were no longer strong in the early years of Wanli, Wang Xiaoer's New Year is not as good as a year, the generals lose the public and private interests, regardless of whether the battalion soldiers live or die, embezzle military salaries and annex military household land to support their limited number of Neiding, the war battalion soldiers are cannon fodder and the number of Neiding is not enough, the military strength has seriously declined, the most important thing is that the Li family lost too much during the Renchen War, Li Rusong left the battlefield in frustration and died in the hands of the Chahar people, otherwise with Li Rusong and the Li family's 8,000 family members, no matter how big the Jurchens' hearts are, they dare to build a country, and they dare not take the initiative to attack and die.
After touching the bottom of Da Ming, the upper echelons of the Jurchen made up their minds to attack Fushun and other places, and completely tore their faces with Da Ming.
The strong infantry in front of him, and Liaozhen, Xuanda, and Jizhen are not the same way at all, at this time, Huang Taiji found that even the flag is not the same thing, and his heart is more confirmed his previous conjecture.
"Zhang Han ......"
Huang Taiji's mouth seemed to chew an extremely bitter olive, and he didn't know what else to think about for a while besides bitterness.
Zhang Han was not yet sixteen years old when he first came to Liaodong, and although he looked tall and old, that kind of youthful atmosphere could not be concealed. Or if Nurhachi is not interested in him at all? At the same time that Huang Taiji promoted the covenant, there was no lack of plans for the next idle move, Zhang Han looked too small after all, and said that he was the young proprietor of a wealthy businessman, and he had to watch and talk about it.
There is a series of surprises at the bottom, Zhang Han has been transporting various materials to Liaodong for several years, from Horqin to the Houjin climbing plough on the border wall of Liaodong stretches endlessly, thousands of climbing plows can be transported back to Zhang Han's Hutchison convoy, such a level of material transportation makes Houjin very satisfied, the happiest is the bottom, it can be said that Hutchison's convoy has made the Houjin bottom, including the Jurchen Sauron and the Han Min, have died a lot, It wasn't until the fourth year of the Apocalypse that Nurhachi, Daishan and others found that the wealth they had plundered was being drained out in a steady stream, and from then on, the hostility of the Jurchen high-level to Hutchison was quite obvious.
The Jurchens are uncivilized, but they are not stupid, and it is not difficult to understand this practice of plundering wealth by unequal trade, maybe they don't understand how to explain it economically, but they have the most intuitive feelings, and then make the most correct decisions based on their feelings.
But Huang Taiji couldn't understand why Zhang Han had a premeditated plan for the Jurchens?
From the Thirteen Mountains to the grassland, and then to Kuandian, Huang Taiji had already faintly felt the big net and implied hostility opened by Hutchison, he just couldn't understand that Zhang Han had been taking advantage of the situation in Liaodong to make a fortune before this, why would he start to lay out against Liaodong a few years in advance?
Huang Taiji couldn't understand Zhang Han's heart, so he could only reason with some confusion: "Could it be that he has ambitions for Liaodong?" ”
When I think of this, it is like lightning.
"Mongolia, Liaodong, North Korea, this son is not small!" Huang Taiji almost slapped his leg and stood up from his horse!
Hutchison's expansion in the grassland can't be hidden, and now the high-level of Houjin almost knows that Zhang Han occupies half of the grassland, and a fierce battle broke out with the Chahar Department last year, and the high-level has long been arguing, whether to send troops on a large scale this year to eliminate Lin Dan Khan and the Chahar Department?
However, the start of this year was unfavorable, the Mongol Weng Niute was unstable, Horqin's Obataiji was quite dissatisfied with the Jurchens' rampant conquest, and began to show signs of detachment, and there were several Mongolian tribes, such as the Zarut and Dorot tribes, which were close to the Ming border and had always been in harmony with the Ming Dynasty, although Lin Dan Khan led the Chahar headquarters to move westward, although it failed, last year it still left a lot of room for the remnants of the Eight Etok and the Five Inner Khalkha Tribes, these tribes improved relations with the Ming Dynasty, resisted the Jurchen envoys, and prompted Obataiji to turn, After many years in the Mongolian steppe, this year had to start again.
Not only that, the Varkha Department in the East China Sea was unstable and had to requisition a large army to conquer the border domain and other places, these activities seriously consumed the activities of the Houjin, and the other is the frequent activities of Dongjiang Town, which involved the energy of the Houjin, and even Huang Taiji was forced to patrol the border area, so you can imagine how much pressure Dongjiang Town put on the Houjin.
