Chapter 729: Rushing to the base camp of Huang Taiji [Ask for a monthly pass!] 】
Chapter 729 Pounced on Huang Taiji's base camp [Ask for a monthly ticket!] 】
(0729)
[Today's third shift is delivered]
When Zhang Zhun returned to the central military camp, he received a report from Yang Zhiyuan, saying that there were two Mongolian thousand-strong troops stationed in Yanshan. Because Yanshan is also not far from Dongjiabao, but it is farther away from the Tartar camp, therefore, Yang Zhiyuan and them are all interested in copying the battle of Pinggang, attacking quickly and eating these two thousand people. They all felt that as long as they acted quickly, there should be no problems.
"Salt Mountain?"
Zhang Zhun subconsciously stared at the military map.
Yanshan is directly south of Dongjiabao, about 150 miles away from Dongjiabao and about 200 miles away from Cangzhou. Relatively speaking, it is indeed farther away from Cangzhou. From a military point of view, it is indeed another leveling post. No wonder Yang Zhiyuan was moved. Wang Shide reported that the troops were all ready, and they could set off quickly just after Zhang Zhun gave an order.
It's a pity, Zhang Zhun shook his head and said slowly: "This is bait." ”
Yang Zixuan said in a low voice: "My lord, what do you say?" ”
Zhang Zhun said lightly: "Abnormality must be a demon." We had just eaten the two thousand Mongolian teams, and the corners of our mouths had not been completely wiped off, and Huang Taiji hurriedly sent the two Mongolian thousand teams to our mouths. Do you say, 'Will there be such a good thing?' ”
Yang Zixuan said a little unwillingly: "This is also ...... But what if Huang Taiji made a mistake? What if these two Mongolian thousand-man teams were not bait, but tried to cut off our ties with Shandong, and then cover for Huang Taiji's other big moves? For example, Huang Taiji may want to separate us from Shandong, and then attack Dongjiabao again. ”
Zhang Zhun shook his head and said slowly: "Don't expect Huang Taiji to make mistakes. This person can't go wrong easily. He's laying a trap for us to throw ourselves. The last time the Tartar attacked the city, he had already suffered a lot of losses, so he would definitely not continue to attack. His only recourse was to lure us out into the field. The 2,000 Mongols in Yanshan were the bait. ”
Seeing that everyone was still a little puzzled, Zhang Zhun explained in detail.
The battle of Pinggang and the blow to Huang Taiji were actually very big. The loss of two thousand cavalry was secondary, the key was to strike at the myth of the invincibility of the Tartars in the field. This is a heavy blow to all the Tartars. Their last advantage was caught up by the Tiger Army, what qualifications do they have, what ability do they have to be arrogant in the core hinterland of the Ming Kingdom?
The previous entry of the Tartars was based on strong field combat capabilities. It is precisely because of their strong field combat capabilities that the Tartars were able to contain all the Ming troops in a few large strongholds, and then carry out the maximum burning, killing and looting in a vast area, so as to expel a large number of people and slowly transport a large number of materials back to the outside of the Saiwai.
In fact, as long as the Ming army has a little field ability, it may cause great trouble to the Tartars. Because, the Tartars carried hostages and supplies, just like people carrying hundreds of pounds of heavy loads, it was impossible to move quickly. Once the fight with the Ming army starts, the Tartars themselves will definitely be greatly restricted. Now, the cavalry of the Tiger Army has the ability to fight in the field, and it is a deep threat to the next move of the Tartars.
For Huang Taiji, it is imperative to annihilate the cavalry strength of the Tiger Ben Army as soon as possible. Otherwise, as time goes on, the situation becomes more and more unfavorable for the Daikin Congress. The situation in Beizhili has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the time for the retreat of the Dajin Army should not be far away. However, if you want to leave safely with the looted people and supplies, you must avoid the attack of the Tiger Ben cavalry.
Therefore, no matter what method is adopted, Huang Taiji must defeat the field combat ability of the Tiger Ben Army. At this time, Huang Taiji still sent two Mongolian thousand-man teams to station in the salt mountain under the nose of the tiger army, what is this not a bait? Zhang Zhun dared to pack the ticket, Huang Taiji must have been very eagerly looking forward to the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army in Dongjiabao, and immediately launched an attack in the direction of Yanshan.
"That'...... Just let the Mongols be stationed in Salt Mountain? The Mongols are stationed in Yanshan, cutting off our land access to Shandong, so we can't do it if we don't defeat it."
Yang Zixuan said a little unwillingly.
Everyone else nodded frequently.
In fact, it is. The location of Yanshan just cuts off the connection between Dongjiabao and Shandong. Prior to this, the land connection between Dongjiabao and Shandong was unimpeded. However, as soon as the 2,000 Mongols made a stop at Yanshan, this connection was cut off. For the time being, I don't feel that the land passage will be cut off, and it will have too much impact on the Tiger Army, but in the long run, this is not a good thing after all.
The Tiger Ben army took Pinggang and opened up the relationship with Tianjin Wei, Huang Taiji immediately reacted and sent troops to occupy Yanshan, severing the relationship between Dongjiabao and Shandong, forcing the Tiger Ben army to strike again. If the Tiger Army doesn't make a move, he will wait until the Tiger Army makes a move. After all, the Mongols occupied the salt mountain, and it was definitely the Tiger Ben army that was uncomfortable. Yang Zhiyuan and others wanted to kill these two thousand Mongols, but they also wanted to do so out of this consideration, and they couldn't be said to be completely wrong.
Yang Zixuan continued to say slowly: "Now is the season of spring ploughing, if we don't eliminate the Mongols in Yanshan as soon as possible, I am afraid that they will attack all around, burn and loot, and destroy our spring ploughing, which will also bring us huge losses." ”
The others nodded approvingly again.
This place in Yanshan is relatively special, and it is very close to the surrounding counties such as Qingyun, Nanpi, Leling, and Haifeng. The Mongols occupied the Salt Mountain, which had to affect not only the spring ploughing work around the Salt Mountain, but also the three nearby counties. In these three counties, at least one million acres of fields can be sown. That's a lot of land. If none of these fields were to be planted, it would have had a big impact on food production.
Zhang Zhun said calmly: "In order to ensure the smooth progress of the spring ploughing work, the Mongolians in Yanshan must be killed. But it's not us who make a move. ”
Yang Zhiyuan's eyes lit up slightly, and he suddenly realized something, and said excitedly: "Dragoon Camp? Yang Weiguo? They came from the south......"
Zhang Zhun nodded and said calmly: "That's right, the dragoon battalion is indeed coming from the south. We can fly pigeons and send a message to Yang Weiguo, let them raid Yanshan, and find an opportunity to give these two thousand Mongols a little color. Pay attention, remind them that the forward battalion of the Tartars will arrive quickly, and after they attack Yanshan, they will immediately retreat in the direction of Qingzhou City, and do not fall in love. ”
The others understood, and immediately began to ponder.
The dragoon camp came from Shandong, and Huang Taiji may not know the news, and in his plan, the dragoon camp may not be budgeted. The dragoon battalion suddenly appeared, launched an attack from the direction of Shandong, and ran away after the fight, and Huang Taiji could not catch up. Moreover, because Zhang Zhun was in Dongjiabao, Huang Taiji definitely did not dare to chase the dragon riding camp desperately. In this way, the dragoon camp can still get out safely.
I believe that the Mongolians stationed in Yanshan are also dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and they can't tell if they have bitterness. They must have been cautiously waiting for the Tiger Ben cavalry to come from the direction of Dongjiabao, but they didn't expect that there would be a Tiger Ben cavalry suddenly killing from behind. By the time they reacted, it was too late. If carefully planned, the dragoon battalion could defeat thirty percent of the Mongols with one round of shooting.
Yang Weiguo's dragoon battalion has a strength of about 1,500 people, and the number is indeed a little less, but they already know the experience of Pinggang fighting, how to give full play to their firepower more effectively, and how to destroy the enemy's living forces more effectively, so their results will inevitably be richer than those in Pinggang battle. In fact, if you defeat half of the Mongols, you will be considered victorious.
Yang Qianqiang said regretfully: "It's a pity that we only have one battalion in the south, if there are two battalions, the two thousand Mongols in Yanshan, they will eat the gift of Huang Taiji with a click, why don't you accept it all, how much can't I be sorry for his deep affection."
Everyone else nodded with the same regret.
Yes, if the Tiger Ben Army came from the direction of Shandong with two battalions, it would indeed be easy to eat the two thousand Mongols in Yanshan. In the case of the Mongols being caught off guard, total annihilation is not much of a problem. The problem now is that the Tiger Cavalry Battalion and the Leopard Cavalry Battalion are both on the side of Dongjiabao, so they can't be used.
Zhang Zhun smiled slightly, his sharp eyes fell on the location of Cangzhou City on the map, and said indifferently: "Don't regret it, we still have work to do." ”
Yang Qianqiang hurriedly asked, "What kind of work?" ”
Zhang Zhun said calmly: "Huang Taiji is definitely not in Cangzhou now, he should be ambushed somewhere not far from Yanshan with the forward battalion, quietly waiting for us to throw himself into the net." I dare to say that around Cangzhou now, there is nothing Tartar in Ji. ”
Yang Zixuan's eyes lit up, clenched his fists hard, and said excitedly: "What do you mean, is it a sneak attack on Cangzhou?" Sneak attack on the base camp of the Tartars? ”
Zhang Zhun also waved his fist hard, and said with a cold face: "Yes"
All the officers, you look at me, I look at you, and then they all clenched their fists excitedly. Ye Longxin and Wang Shide, two staff officers, also stared excitedly at the location of Cangzhou on the map. Here, the two are marked with a huge red circle, and inside the circle, there is also a huge cross. This mark is where the base camp of Huang Taiji is located.
Since going south, Huang Taiji has placed his base camp not far from Cangzhou, and has not changed since. Originally, this base camp used to have tens of thousands of Tartars and Mongols stationed, and later Huang Taiji divided his troops to loot, and this base camp, only Huang Taiji and the forward battalion temporarily lived.
Sneak attack on Cangzhou
Sneak attack on the base camp of the Tartars
**, this is a fatal blow to the Tartars
When Huang Taiji set out to ambush, it was impossible to bring all his tents, and most of his belongings should be in the base camp in Cangzhou. This time, the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army killed it, and if they had to crush all the lair of Huang Taiji, I don't know if Huang Taiji brought women to the battle, otherwise, his women would be captured by the Tiger Ben Army.
Because Huang Taiji took all the troops away, the Tiger Ben army wanted to kill the Tartars, and it should not be able to kill a few. However, in the base camp, there are still many things that Zhang Zhun is interested in. For example, the wounded of the Tartars, the intelligence of the Dajin Kingdom, and perhaps, maybe some gold and silver wealth. Even if there is nothing, a fire to burn down the base camp of the Tartars is a great victory.
If this matter is really successful, Huang Taiji is afraid that he will really cry and grab the ground. He wanted to ambush the Tiger Army, but the ambush was not successful, but he lost his base camp, and everything was robbed, and he, the Great Khan of the Great Golden Kingdom, did not know how to face his subordinates.
After believing in this incident, it is impossible for the Tartars not to withdraw as soon as possible. Even if it is a change to the Tiger Army, if it suffers such an attack, it will be quickly withdrawn, and it will not even be able to keep its base camp without seeing anyone, what else can you say?
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Order the troops, prepare more oil, torches or something, we will burn the tartars fiercely."
All the officers went away in high spirits.
Although only two cavalry battalions were dispatched, there were many more people watching. Yang Zhiyuan stayed on duty, and the other officers had to go to Cangzhou to see it in person. Zhang Zhun didn't stop it. In the battle of Pinggang, the Huben army captured a lot of war horses, and the senior officers basically had war horses, and they followed the cavalry to watch the battle, and did not occupy the cavalry's war horse establishment.
According to Zhang Zhun's assumption, with the continuous increase in the number of war horses, most of the infantry of the Tiger Army will eventually become cavalry. It is actually a good thing to observe the combat concept of the cavalry in advance. What's more, in the future, mixed infantry and cavalry operations will also become the mainstream of the Tiger Army's operations. Since there is such a good opportunity, let them all go and see it.
Of course, there is still a certain risk in raiding the base camp of Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji is lax about his base camp, no matter how lax, he will not be lax to the point of being like a farmer's chicken coop. The key to the Tiger Ben Army's cavalry coming over this time is time. It must be Huang Taiji who attacks in the direction of Yanshan, and then the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army attacks Cangzhou, playing a time difference.
In fact, the attack plan of the Tiger Ben Army and the ambush plan of the Tartars are interlinked. If something goes wrong in between, it can lead to a huge change in the tide of battle. First, it was Yang Weiguo who led the dragoon battalion to attack the Mongol cavalry in Yanshan, and then Huang Taiji quickly galloped to the aid and tried to eat the Tiger Ben cavalry.
In this link, there is a key point, that is, Huang Taiji must believe that the Tartars of Yanshan were attacked by the cavalry of the Tiger Army, and it was also the cavalry of the Tiger Army from Dongjiabao, and quickly led the forward battalion to the rescue. If Huang Taiji does not act and still stays at the ambush point, then, when Zhang Zhun attacks Cangzhou, Huang Taiji may quickly return to the aid and cut off Zhang Zhun's retreat.
Well, when Huang Taiji set out to aid Yanshan, the cavalry of Dongjiabao's Tiger Ben Army could quickly attack and attack Huang Taiji's base camp. Huang Taiji was inserted into the salt mountain because he wanted to come back to help, but it must be too late. In this way, Zhang Zhun had enough time to slowly ravage the base camp of Huang Taiji.
Of course, this one-ring plan is easy to say, and when it comes to implementation, it is ever-changing. Zhang Zhun had to calculate the time very precisely. If there was a mistake in time, and Huang Taiji happened to withdraw from the vicinity of Salt Mountain, there would definitely be an encounter between the two sides. Of course, Zhang Zhun is no longer afraid of encountering the Tartars. It's just that once encountered, you can't destroy the base camp of the Tartars.
If you go out too early, you won't be able to. Because, if Zhang Zhun had acted early, Huang Taiji would definitely give up Yanshan immediately and then return to the base camp. In fact, there is also a fighter plane in this, that is, to attack the east and west, take the initiative to attack the base camp of the Tartars, mobilize Huang Taiji to help, and then concentrate the troops, attack the salt mountain, and eat the two thousand Mongols.
However, relatively speaking, Zhang Zhun still likes to kill directly to the base camp of Huang Taiji. He really wanted to see what was in the base camp of Huang Taiji. It is said that the two have been fighting for more than two years, but they have never met up close.
"Where is Yang Weiguo?"
Zhang Zhun asked cautiously.
"Thirty miles south of Qingyun."
Wang Shide replied.
Zhang Zhun silently calculated the time of the carrier pigeon, as well as the time of information transmission. In the end, he was convinced that the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army still had three hours to prepare.
"Departure in an hour and a half"
Zhang Zhun said categorically.
"Understood"
Officers of all ranks immediately went.
Soon, the news that the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army was preparing to attack Cangzhou spread out. Sneaking up on Huang Taiji's base camp is a terrible thing, and almost all those who are qualified and qualified want to follow and have a look.
The old man Chen Guoxi found Zhang Zhun first, his eyes were eager, and he said in a difficult tone: "Yulin, give me a chance......
Zhang Zhun naturally understood the old man's thoughts, so he patted him on the shoulder happily and said calmly: "Get on the horse and take a look twice." ”
The old man Chen Guoxi hurriedly led the horse and walked around the playground. He has been a groom since he was a child, and he has always been a groom since then, this riding skill is naturally okay, although he is not young, he is still stable on horseback, even if he follows the large army at high speed, there should be no major problems.
Zhang Zhun nodded, acquiesced to the old man's request, and said with a smile: "Follow me"
The old man Chen Guoxi immediately went happily.
He had waited all his life for this day. In the past, he had suffered a lot in front of the Tartars, but now, he can finally raise his eyebrows. The Tiger Ben Army is going to attack Huang Taiji's Golden Tent, what an important event, if he misses it, he really won't be able to turn a blind eye
With the old man Chen Guoxi as an example, other people's minds have become active. Cao Siming, Dong Sanhuai, Liu Zongshao, Liu Zongli and others also expressed their intention to watch the battle. Zhang Zhun agreed to it all. Such a good thing is not afraid that many people will know about it, and he wants everyone in the world to know about it
"Sortie"
Seeing that the time was about the same, Zhang Zhun said without hesitation.
"Da Da Da"
The sound of horses' hooves suddenly exploded like spring thunder.
More than 3,000 cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army pounced on Huang Taiji's base camp like a wolf.
