Chapter 1082: The Heart of the Army
Han Dai has been doing his Shangshu in the capital, and he has not been on the battlefield for many years, nor has he fought against the Ningxiang army. [Marshmallow wants to read almost all the books.,It's much more stable and faster than the general station.,There's no ads in the whole text.] In his opinion, the reason why Yue Tuo, Duoduo and others suffered so many losses under Sun Yuan in the past was probably because they were careless and fell for the tricks of the Han people.
Now that the army is in a decisive battle, it is hard to fight, and no conspiracy can be used, and in a head-to-head battle, can the Jianzhou army still lose to the Han dog?
"You know
! Duoduo scolded rudely: "What do you know, the Ningxiang army is different from the border army of Minggou. Sun Yuan's thieves' troops have a characteristic, the troops are the main soldiers, but there are no auxiliaries, the equipment is better than our Jianzhou warriors, and they are even crazier than us in the battle. Their 40,000 horses are all family members! ”
"Ah, it's all the main soldiers, it's all the family, how is it possible?" Han Dai's mouth opened wide.
The generals of the border army of the Ming Dynasty usually selected the most elite soldiers in the army to be their homekeepers, and both equipment and supplies were very good. That's because the central finances of the Ming Dynasty have gone bankrupt, and the money allocated every year is simply not enough to maintain the huge field army of the nine sides. Moreover, the military system in the late Ming Dynasty had been completely eroded, and the soldiers had degenerated into peasants without the slightest combat effectiveness. Therefore, the generals of the Jiubian Town Army tilted their limited resources towards their families and took the route of elite soldiers.
Therefore, generally speaking, among the 4,500 soldiers in a battalion, only a few hundred elites can really go to the battlefield to fight.
In this way, tens of thousands of troops will be dispatched on the battlefield, but there are only a few hundred thousand people who really fight in front, and the others are auxiliaries, waving flags and shouting in the back to make a show. Once the family is defeated, the auxiliaries flee faster than anyone else. [To see the latest chapters of this book, please go to the hot spots]
Even if the Ming army was repeatedly defeated against Jianzhou and lost its bottoms, the upper echelons of the Manchu Qing still had to admit that in fact, the Ming army's family members could still fight, and its elite was not even inferior to the White Armor of the Eight Banners. It's just that the number of these family members is too small, and the second is that they can't fight bloody battles, and if they don't fight well, they will turn into the wind, which is a common problem of all armies fed with money.
At this moment, when he heard Duoduo say that tens of thousands of horses in the Ningxiang Army were all family members, Han Dai realized the seriousness of the problem.
On the surface, the Qing army was more numerous than the Ningxiang army, but there were many Han troops and auxiliaries, which were much less than the number of main soldiers.
Duoduo Tie nodded with a blushing face: "Although Kong Youde and they defeated Huang Degong's Lufeng army, so that our army would not fall into the encirclement of Ming Gou, but when they encounter Sun Yuan's thieves and fight head-on, although I have a few points of certainty of winning the battle, there will definitely be a lot of losses in the end." At that time, what other forces will attack Yangzhou, which has a strong city defense? ”
Han Dai: "So? ”
"So what we need to do now is to take Yangzhou as soon as possible, first, it can seriously damage the morale and confidence of Sun Thief, and second, we can use Yangzhou as a base to firmly absorb Sun Yuan's main force like a magnet
。 Duoduo pulled out the knife and put it back in its sheath: "Now, Minggou only has one usable army from the Ningxiang Army. Don't forget, there are 80,000 horses on Azig's side. Hongguang Xiaoer did not have a combat-ready army in Jiangnan. Azig should take Nanjing without a problem, and when the time comes, Hongguang Xiao'er will be captured, and Sun Yuan's thief will be demoralized if he hangs alone in Jiangbei. When the time comes, there is no need for Azig to go north to attack Sun Yuan with me, and I will be able to clean up the Ningxiang army alone. ”
"Han Dai, the situation is urgent, you are still here and happy, immediately clean up and lead the troops to prepare for the general attack on Yangzhou. It is necessary to cut off Shi Kefa's dog head as soon as possible and hold Yangzhou in his hands. Tomorrow morning, let's go into the city. ”
"The situation is urgent, so urgent?" Han Dai couldn't help but ask again.
"That's right, it's very urgent, and Yangzhou must be taken overnight." Duoduo nodded, with a calm face: "Just now, the scout came to report that a large number of Ningxiang troops were found thirty miles away from Yangzhou. The sentinels of the enemy and our armies have been slaughtered together, and according to the scouts, the four battalions of the Ningxiang Army are all moving closer to our army. If you don't guess wrong, it is not more than 100 miles away from Yangzhou, and it can be reached in an instant. ”
With that, he strode away with his men.
At this time, the singer Xiaolu's body was still on the ground, twitching from time to time.
Looking at her body, remembering the song "Autumn Moon on the Peaceful Lake" just now, Han Dai couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.
He stood there for a long time before he sighed softly and beckoned to a minion.
"Master, what do you command?"
"Get a good coffin and bury the little green girl...... Also, give me the horses and armor ready for battle. "The bright moon in my heart was shattered, and I was scattered as a wolf.
When he got the armor, got on the war horse, and arrived at the city of Yangzhou with the troops, the sound of the red-clothed cannon was not broken.
The gun emplacements were already shrouded in white smoke, and the artillerymen were stripped naked, sweating and stuffing gunpowder packs and projectiles into the barrels.
The field was full of bonfires lit by soldiers, and the stars were as brilliant as the stars in the clear autumn sky
。 At the campfire, all the soldiers were heavily armoured, sweating and staring at the city wall in front of them, waiting for the order to attack. Although it was said that there was still a long time before dawn, the soldiers were all nervous.
Obviously, they already knew the news of the total annihilation of the two armies of Yin Baitu and Nikan.
The 20,000 horses were eaten up by the enemy in this way, and the blow to the Qing army was heavy. Since I entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty, whether it is the military action against the Chuang army or the Ming army, it can be described as "the autumn wind sweeps away the leaves" and "destroys the withering and decaying", and there has hardly been any decent resistance. No matter how many people and horses the enemy has, as long as our Eight Banners Army rushes with iron cavalry, the battle can be resolved. This can no longer be called a battle, but a huge armed parade.
These two unprecedented defeats made the Qing army suddenly wake up: it turns out that we are not invincible in the world, it turns out that we can also fail, and we are defeated so badly!
In front of him are the elite of the Balaya Army of the Eight Banners of Jianzhou, who was not resolute and strong in the past. But at this moment, what is the difference between their expressions and the defeated army of Minggou that they have seen before, they are so unfamiliar.
Even Duoduo seemed to be afraid, and those who were in a hurry wanted to enter Yangzhou and hide in the fortified city.
Han Dai looked at the appearance of the soldiers, remembered what Duoduo had said before, and suddenly felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart: When did my Jianzhou warriors encounter the enemy and didn't want to win in the field, but thought about hiding in the fortified city and holding on, Duoduo, what kind of blow did you encounter that made you so afraid of Sun Yuan?
Can this Yangzhou be successfully won?
Yes, yes, it only takes one night.
Looking at Yangzhou City in front of him, Han Dai comforted himself in his heart.
The red-coated cannons were still bombarding, some of the barrels had begun to turn red because they had been used for too long, and they looked dazzling in the dark night, and some artillerymen hurriedly poured a bucket of water into the barrels to cool down.
Every shell flew out and smashed on the opposite wall, causing the wall to tremble violently, and the Ming army above screamed in panic and ran around like headless flies.
The walls of the city were already marked by the white marks of the shells, and in some places there were obvious depressions.
The artillery is progressing well, the Ming defenders are in disarray, victory is at hand, and now it only takes some patience.
