Chapter 588: Jiannu is nothing more than that

On September 17, the Battle of Qinglong River officially began. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Facing the 50,000 army led by the imposing Manchurian Belle Hauge, Chang Wei did not dare to take it lightly, after all, this time the opponent was the Jurchen cavalry, which was known as the invincible Jurchen cavalry!

Aixin Jueluo Haoge is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and when he was a teenager, he followed his father Huang Taiji to conquer the Tatar Dong Kui, Chahar, Ordos and other departments.

In the 11th year of the Later Jin Mandate (1626), Hauge followed the Great Belle Daishan to conquer the Tatar Zarut Division, and Hauge performed prominently in this battle and personally killed the Bel Ezhai of the Zarut Division.

In the first year of Later Jin Tiancong (1627), his father Emperor Taiji ascended the throne as the Great Khan of Later Jin, and then launched the Battle of Ningjin, and Haoge defeated the Ming army in Jinzhou. In the second year, Huang Taiji was unable to break through the Guanningjin defense line operated by the Ming Dynasty, so he personally led the Eight Banners Army to break through the Tatar to break into the Great Wall, and Haoge once led the army to approach the Beijing Division.

Last year, Hauge followed the army to crusade against the Chahar Department and vigorously attacked the naturalization of Zhulu. Because of his military merits, he was awarded the title of Heshuo Baylor. All in all, this is a very powerful character!

Chang Wei set up artillery positions in the west of the Qinglong River in the west of the Yuanbao Mountain Xixia Ridge, the Yuanbao Mountain is as its name suggests, it is not tall, it is a circular mountain range, the terrain is high in the west and low in the east, the Qinglong River is in the east, there are hills in the north and south, the main peak Xixia Ridge says that the mountain range is relatively reluctant, it is a prominent highland.

Chang Wei let his subordinates occupy the high ground on three sides in advance, leaving only the Qinglong River in the east for the Houjin cavalry.

Hauge was not reckless, first let people feint around the three high grounds, but the cavalry to do this work, obviously very difficult, a small half a day of work to no avail, at this time Hauge sent 30,000 troops to force the river is not deep Qinglong River.

Chang Wei immediately let the 50,000 Chahar cavalry who surrendered to go out of the river to intercept, and when the cavalry of the two sides was fighting fiercely, Wuding's artillery once again ignored the enemy and me, and there was a fierce bombardment on the bank of the Qinglong River!

Chang Wei's men are accustomed to this kind of artillery fire, and they can only understand that the artillery technology is not up to par, and this kind of thinking is normal, because artillery in this era is designed for siege and defense of cities, and it is normal to fight inaccurate field wave battles, and they can still hit the enemy.

While causing casualties, this artillery fire also cut the Houjin cavalry on the east bank of the Qinglong River into two sections. The Chahar cavalry immediately outflanked and surrounded the more than 10,000 cavalry who crossed the river.

The Houjin cavalry was indeed very tenacious, and fought to the end under the heavy encirclement, and at the same time, the Houjin cavalry on the east bank also desperately assaulted the encirclement. In this way, a chaotic situation was formed on the banks of the Qinglong River: 50,000 Chahar cavalry surrounded more than 10,000 Houjin cavalry, and the Houjin cavalry in the circle and their comrades outside the circle attacked the Chahar cavalry on both sides!

On the day of the battle, the more than 10,000 cavalry of Houjin in the circle were annihilated, but the Chahar cavalry responsible for the encirclement in the rear also suffered more than 10,000 casualties.

At the moment, the 40,000 Chahar cavalry were in front, the 10,000 Khanting cavalry were in the middle, and the more than 10,000 Han cavalry were behind, still chasing in a layer-by-layer battle formation! The 40,000 Chahar cavalry chased for 30 miles and fell into the ambush of Haoge's elite Jurchen cavalry.

When Chang Wei heard the news, he personally led the camp to attack, and the melee was in the middle of the night, and the results of the battle were counted: Houjin and Chahar cavalry each suffered 25,000 casualties.

This result couldn't help but make Chang Wei snort, "What do you say that if you are full of 10,000, you are invincible?

Wu Ding said calmly: "There is not much difference between the combat strength of the Tatar cavalry and the Manchurian cavalry, plus we have the advantage of geography and artillery fire, so we can achieve this kind of result, and in real comparison, the combat power of the Houjin cavalry is not bad!"

Ma Lie said proudly: "The combat strength of the Tatar cavalry is not bad, the failure in these years is because there is no good Great Khan, which leads to infighting among the various departments, and it is separated from the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, it will not be so easy for Houjin to conquer the steppe." ”

Hu Wenqing said leisurely: "Actually, we can conquer Mo Nan so easily, but also because the leaders of the various departments have no ability, if the opponent is powerful, we can't get here now!"

The next day, Haoge changed his tactics, bypassed the Qinglong River, and killed the Chahar grassland in the northwest, and the remaining 40,000 Chahar cavalry couldn't sit still and asked for reinforcements.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Chang Wei had to lead the army back to help. You must know that he was able to tie the Chahar tribes to his chariot by coercion and inducement, and the lure was naturally title, mutual market and reward, and coercion was the life of the steppe tribes. Now the various ministries are following him to fight against Hou Jin, which is equivalent to paying the vote, if he is killed by the Hou Jin cavalry, then the tribe will definitely be killed by the angry Haoge, Hou Jin's methods are not much gentler than Chang Wei!

Therefore, in any case, Chang Wei had to return to help, and the army marched fifty miles north, and fell into the encirclement of the Houjin cavalry on the bank of the Haramulun River!

Chang Wei smiled proudly: "Can you set up an ambush?

"It's a pity that he forgot that he only had 25,000 horsemen left, and our strength is close to twice that of him!" Wu Ding said this, and began to order the charge.

The remaining 25,000 Chahar cavalry had long been unable to hold back, and rushed to fight as soon as possible, and the 10,000 Khanting cavalry of Batu Baihu swept in the rear, and the Han cavalry and artillery did not move this time.

After an hour of fighting, two elite cavalry in the enemy formation outflanked from the rear, and the target was the allied army's big killer - artillery.

However, as early as five miles away, their whereabouts were captured by Yin An's team. As a reconnaissance sniper team, each of them is equipped with a telescope, and there is no escape from their ears and eyes within a radius of dozens of miles!

Wuding immediately turned the muzzle of the gun, waited for the enemy cavalry to break into the three miles, and launched a covering bombardment, the two cavalry were good at riding, and after losing 1,000 cavalry, the remaining 9,000 men rushed to within 500 paces.

After more than a month of life and death tests, the line formation has become more and more mature, and the cavalry's riding skills have been significantly improved.

After a rain of arrows from the enemy, the cavalry battalion rushed to within fifty paces of the enemy, and only then did they see that the enemy's horses, figures, hair accessories, and tactics were significantly different from those of the Tatar cavalry.

The Tatars are characterized by short stature but stout, and the Mongols are also horses with good endurance and are not tall, so the real Mongolian cavalry is famous for light cavalry and archery; the Manchurian cavalry is similar, but the stature is generally taller than the Mongols, and the Liao horse is also a real tall horse, mainly based on sabre and white-edged combat, supplemented by horse archery.

But whether it is a cavalry cavalry or a charging cavalry, it is the same in front of a musket!

With this strong self-confidence, the cavalry battalion opened fire! )
