Chapter 57: The Dependence on Victory
As soon as Modri entered and saw Zu Dashou, he sensed that something was wrong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Modri, there's something you want to borrow." Zu Dashou stared at Modri's thick neck.
Modri was puzzled: "What is it?" ā
"Lend you a head!" Zu Dashou suddenly picked up the teacup in his hand and threw it on the spot.
Hundreds of axe men rushed out from behind the screen. In just ten breaths, Modri's head was cut off.
An hour later, the Red Lady, Xu Wen and Zu Dale led the army into Ningyuan.
The sun and moon dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty was raised.
Ning Yuan is recovered!
Located on the north bank of the Li River south of Zunhua, the atmosphere on August 2 suddenly became tense.
Not surprisingly, Zhu Cihong came. The only thing that was unexpected was that Zhu Cihong brought the rest of the Guards Legion in addition to the more than 6,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp.
At this moment, the Guards Regiment finally came alive.
The Third Regiment of Fu Rugui's subordinate has gradually matured in the battle against Liu Fangliang's subordinate Shun Army, and has the appearance of a strong army.
More than 10,000 people crossed the river and joined the battlefield, attracting the attention of Duoduo.
The battlefield calmed down.
Duoduo felt a slight uneasiness.
Turai also had such an uneasiness, he listened to the scouts behind him and said: "The Xuanfu army is almost pouring out, and the army led by Wang Jimo, the governor of Xuanfu, has already passed through Tongzhou, and it will be able to pass Jizhou in a few days, from the back of our army!" ā
"How long is this day?" Balhalla was annoyed: "You are a scout, don't you know? ā
"Explore!" Turai sent the scout away, he looked at Balhalla, endured the impatience in his heart, and said, "How the Xuanfu army marched is still unknown. If it is like our army, which is dominated by cavalry, then it will be able to kill from the belly and back in the next two days. If it is mainly foot soldiers, it is estimated that it will take three to five days. But in any case, this shows that time is running out for our army. ā
Balhalla estimated it, and immediately understood that it was powerful, but he had attacked Xuanfu, and the Mongols were far more familiar with this border army than others: "According to my expectations, Xuanfu should be dominated by foot soldiers." Although there are a lot of war horses in the border army, they lack military resources to take care of them, and even the personal guards around the commanders of each department cannot achieve all the horses. Unless ......"
"Unless the master in Beijing can replace them with all the war horses...... Let the Xuanfu army accelerate its march to Zunhua......" Turai understood that only the Beijing division after Zhu Cihong ascended the throne could have so many military resources.
"Anyway...... It can't be a simple siege anymore. The nails had to be pulled out first...... Balhalla said in a deep voice.
"Spread the news to Prince Yu, we can't be passive anymore!" After Turai finished speaking, he looked at Dongsheng's right guard in the vast night, and turned back to the camp.
ā¦ā¦
In Zunhua City, the commander camped in the tent.
Duoduo exhaled deeply: "This Ming is really the natural enemy of my Qing Dynasty!" ā
The white flag Gushan Ezhen Ashan, the new Gushan Ezhen Handai with the white flag, and the prince Badali of Horqin Tuxietu who came with the army, as well as the Sanshun kings Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming stood solemnly. In the corner, Wu Sangui quietly recalled Zhang Zhen's words that day.
"This time the emperor of the Ming Dynasty really opened our eyes...... Suddenly, more than 10,000 soldiers appeared, and they were all all-firearms troops, looking at the banner, it was the third expanded regiment of the Guards Regiment. If this continues, the banner of the Guards Legion will expand more and more, and there will be more and more soldiers who can fire guns. My advantage in the Qing Dynasty is getting less and less......" Han Dai worried.
Ah Shan said in a deep voice: "This time, we have to solve the first regiment, the second regiment and the flying bear regiment first." This is the third of the four main forces of the Ming Guards Legion, without this main force of soldiers and horses, this Ming Kingdom is also broken and broken. When the time comes, I will be able to slowly equip this firearm in the Qing Dynasty. ā
"This time, the Han army still looks as usual and usual, Prince Yu, it is better to form my Mongolian firearm phalanx!" Zibadali said proudly, his eyes blazing.
When King Sanshun heard this, he was anxious.
It was especially gratifying, and he immediately said in a loud voice: "If our army is not able to fight, how can we have so many results?" Let the Mongols come, do you know how to summon this firebolt? ā
"Enough, don't say anything!" Dodor shouted impatiently.
Silence returned to the tent, and the crowd saluted to Dordor.
"The news has also come from the Turai side, and the Xuanfu army in the west is afraid that it will come over in a few days. If we continue to wait, our advantage will also disappear. Dodor stood up and looked at a large map hanging in the tent, "So we have to act." Before that, let's solve a few problems of military discipline! The Loss of Horse Ridge...... This time it was a gratifying sin. Shang Kexi was dismissed from his post and sent to prison, and his troops were commanded by his son Badali. ā
"Yes! Our ministry will live up to the trust of Prince Yu! Zibadali laughed loudly.
Immediately, several Kongwu men rushed into the tent and escorted Shang Kexi down. Shang Kexi looked depressed, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming glanced at each other, and they all had relatives. In the corner, Wu Sangui looked at this scene in a daze and sighed.
The military discipline in the tent was solemn because of the gratifying punishment.
"We must be prepared to conquer the right guard of Dongsheng." Duoduo thought to himself, looking around at everyone, thinking about how to arrange this round of offensive tasks. When his eyes fell on Wu Sangui, he quietly had a plan in his heart.
On the contrary, Wu Sangui suddenly had a premonition that something was wrong at the moment.
Guan Ningjun attacked all the way, and basically did not have a few credits, and his actions were extremely low-key. But the more this is the case, the more Duoduo wants to take the Guan Ning army under the knife. The Han army was a foreign race, which was more hateful than the Mongols. The strength of the Han Chinese has never been what the Manchurians needed......
Just when Dodor's thoughts were becoming more and more perfect, suddenly, a man broke into the tent, and everyone looked intently, and it was Dodor's personal guard: Zhurgan.
Zhu Ergan was pleasantly surprised, looked at Duoduo and said, "Prince Yu! The Ming army is out of the camp! ā
"What Ming Army, which one?" Duoduo was shocked.
"It's from Dongsheng's right guard!" Zhu Ergan hurriedly said. If it was the Ming army in the south, it would certainly not be a surprise, it would be a fright.
But if the Ming army of Dongsheng's right guard walked out of the turtle-like barracks, it would not be a fright, but a surprise!
"God help me!" Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief.
"All-arms warfare"
ā¦ā¦
Li Dingguo exhaled softly, and behind him, the officers and men of the 10th Infantry Battalion began to line up. To his left was Hu Zichen's 5th Infantry Battalion, and to his right was the 4th Infantry Battalion.
The captain of the 4th Infantry Battalion was none other than Chen De. That is, Chen Yongfu's son, it is also a reason why the third regiment went up and down this time very smoothly and quickly.
Everyone was considerate of Chen De's desire to save his father, and Zhu Cihong led the army to kill, and he was even more worried about the main force of the Guards Legion in Dongsheng's right guard.
"They also came out." Fu Rugui lowered his glasses.
"I was so relieved." Zhu Cihong watched the flags of the Flying Bear Regiment, the First Regiment and the Second Regiment come out one after another, and breathed a sigh of relief.
If any of these three are defeated, it will be a heart-wrenching loss.
"However, something is wrong," Zhu Cihong muttered...... "Order all the departments to speed up and respond to them!" ā
Before Zhu Cihong came, the whole battle situation was a bit staggered. This place was occupied by the Qing army, and there was guarded by the Ming army. Because of the advantage of troops, the Qing army almost squeezed out all the space that could be squeezed out of Dongsheng's right guard, lest the Ming army in Dongsheng's right guard escape.
The entire battlefield is roughly divided into these parts.
The first is Zunhua City, where the main force of the Qing army is stationed. The second is the Guard City of the Right Guard of Dongsheng, which houses the strength of three regiments of the Guards Regiment and an independent cavalry battalion. In addition, it was the Manchu and Mongolian Qing troops who broke through from the Yellow Cliff Pass under the Tulai Division, which was eyeing the west of Shibalizhuang.
In order to cope with the attack of the Qing army, Shibalizhuang was the battlefield where Turai and the 1st Regiment attacked, and this was the western battlefield.
The east side is comparatively more complicated.
Zunhua City is due east of Dongsheng Right Guard, and due north is Guzishan Fort, which is a jungle mountain.
To the east is a series of main battlefields. Among them, the loess hill in the north is a key road, locking the place of attack in the north.
In the middle of the road is the Kuanhe Senhu House, where the ground is the flattest and widest, and it is a natural place suitable for big battles. Directly south of the Kuanhe Senhu is the mountains and jungles, and to the southeast is the road leading to Yutian County. From here, you can see the Pear River, which is where the main force of Zhu Cihong's army is located.
There is an important road here, which is Mafang Ridge.
The Qing army retreated from Mafangling, and the remnants of Shang Kexi were incorporated into the hands of Badali, the prince of Korqin Tushetu.
Originally, relying on the advantage of troops, Shang Kexi still led the army with reluctance and eyeing him.
But this time, Zhu Cihong led an army of more than 20,000 people, and the Ming army's disadvantage was finally reversed.
In the face of the fierce momentum of the second regiment of Zhu Cihong's headquarters and the Beijing camp, the Qing army, which was reluctant to stick to the Mafang Ridge, finally retreated.
At this point, Zhu Cihong successfully merged with the main force of the Guards Corps.
Zhu Cihong took this opportunity to meet the generals of various departments who had been trapped for a long time in Mafangling.
Hu Dawei, Chen Yongfu, Xia Chen and Liu Zhen led the generals behind them to salute.
Zhu Cihong's eyes glanced at the past, and the smile of the reunion after a long absence gradually faded: "What about Xu Yanqi?" ā
"Holy ......" Xia Chen's eyes turned red: "General Lang...... General Lang, he was killed! ā
"Xu Yanqi ......" Zhu Cihong heard this, and suddenly his body shook slightly, and he was a little unsteady on his feet. Behind him, Fu Rugui hurriedly went over to help.
Not long after, Zhu Cihong let out a deep breath: "I ...... Ni Yuanlu! You will remember this matter, and arrange it after the war. I will personally attend the memorial service for the fallen martyrs. Unfortunately, now is not the time to talk about this. Xia Chen, I order you to temporarily take over the position of General Lang of the Flying Bear Regiment and preside over the command of the Flying Bear Regiment. In this battle, we must avenge my Ming warriors! ā
"Revenge!"
"Revenge!"
"Revenge!"
ā¦ā¦
On the north bank of the Pear River, a large army quietly appeared.
Zhu Ergan led a group of more than 3,000 people with white flags and foot soldiers to wait in formation.
Knock knock knock......
The drums sounded, the four gates of Zunhua City opened, and hundreds of thousands of troops poured out of the city.
To the west, eighteen miles away, Turai listened to the distant drums and said, "It's our turn." This time, the Ming man didn't know whether he was alive or dead, so he didn't want to defend the city, but wanted to come to the field. Then we'll give them the ending they deserve! ā
The barbed wire fence of the trench in Shibalizhuang had been filled in and knocked down, and the army of the first regiment poured out of the nest from the right guard of Dongsheng and appeared on the wide and flat land of Kuanhe Qianhu.
The 1st Regiment, the 2nd Flying Bear Regiment and the Independent Cavalry Battalion of Liu Zhensuo's Division were all gathered here, and they joined the 3rd Regiment and the Beijing Battalion, which included Zhu Cihong's regiment.
The 1st Regiment was still responsible for resisting the invading enemy from the west, and after receiving supplies, they would be supported by artillery on the walls of the camp of the right guard of Tokatsu.
This time, there was no need for them to draw troops. Moreover, with the arrival of the 3rd Regiment, the reserve force that had been trained as recruits in Kaifeng was also expanded into various departments.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty slowly regained their combat effectiveness.
They waited anxiously for the battle to begin.
The Qing army has also appeared.
This time, Wu Sangui reappeared in the first sequence of the battlefield. His task was to replace the previously promising direction and march towards the Mafang Ridge, where the battle was bound to be fiercest.
Of course, he was accompanied by Zi Ba Dali, who was in the middle of the road towards the Kuanhe Thousand Households, and the other two Han kings, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming.
What is even more surprising is the appearance of Ahsan.
Ah Shan is the white flag Gushan Ezhen, and his appearance means that the white flag will also play in this battle. Coupled with the Han Dai who wanted to avenge the Yingordai, this meant that the main force of the Manchurians was also going to enter the field.
"Decisive battle, ......" Wu Sangui, who came on the field, sighed a little.
His dark circles are a little deep, and yesterday, he didn't sleep all night.
Because...... Zhang Zhen reappeared. This time, Zhang Zhen didn't even use a persuasive tone, but as if he had given an order to his subordinates, he directly asked Wu Sangui to choose the right time to defect.
Wu Sangui wanted to refute it on the spot, but reason made him not do it.
Zhang Zhen is not a reckless person, and if he can be the pacification envoy of Jinyiwei, he must have great intelligence and perseverance. He won't be left untargeted......
This reminded Wu Sangui of what Zhang Zhen said that day: "But the saint believes it...... You'll be anyway. Right now may seem to many people to be the worst time, but the greater the contrast, the more shocking it can be...... Shake the original faith. ā
ā¦ā¦
"Big enough contrast? Does it mean that Zhu Cihong still has the Third Regiment of the Guards Regiment and the Beijing Battalion, which no one expected to have a full 20,000 combatable soldiers? But is this contrast enough? Even if there are 20,000 additional troops, it can only prove that the Ming army has the strength to fight. Your faith...... Where the hell is it! Wu Sangui was a little crazy.
ā¦ā¦
The gate to the west of Shanhaiguan squeaked open.
Above, the sun and moon dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty are waving in the wind.
Countless people with money rat tails rode a fast horse bare, and went west, their purpose was ...... It's Zunhua.
