Chapter 532: Fierce battle on the whole line

When people are extremely afraid, they will stop thinking, hear nothing, and see nothing. This is a physiological instinct that courage cannot resist. Therefore, the front-mounted smoothbore cannon in this era is very effective in dealing with cavalry, even if it is not directly killed or damaged.

Many, but the blow to the morale of the cavalry is devastating. How can a cavalry dominated by fear charge? Some shells were taken back, and some of them were still hit by the river.

In the middle, as for the bloody corpses of the Lu cavalry, Ma Cheng ordered that they remain the same, which would bring another deep fear to the Jianlu army of 100,000.

This Hun River, this bumpy Hetao area, is the place where the two armies die.

The cavalry used by Jianlu failed to rush, so he knew the tactfully and no longer wasted his troops. He obediently used the cavalry army to cover the Han army, while the Mongolian army slowly pressed forward. More than 100,000 infantry and cavalry covered the sky and the sun, which also gave people a very shocking feeling.

The feeling. I still feel that I am using a thousand-mile mirror to observe from more than ten miles away. Naturally, this is just an illusion. The Kaiyuan general who has experienced many battles will naturally not be afraid and will step up supervision to build a frontier position.

Looking at the mountain, the horses died, and more than 100,000 troops slowly pressed up, and their movements were extremely slow.

More than 100,000 barbarians set out from the old village of Hetuala. The vanguard cavalry had rushed for a while, and the rear team was still far away in Fushun. The long march was very spectacular.

At night, the noisy position became quiet.

The frontier positions of the Ming army have basically taken shape, and are full of luster. The most cutting edges are gravel, pits, and horse-repellent piles arranged along the river. In order to prevent the roadblock from being too fast, there are also some giant stones that are difficult to move. Ma Chengju

It's a pity to watch the Qianli Jing. If the problem of fuse cannot be solved, it will be impossible to bury landmines. It is ridiculous to use medicine twists to detonate landmines. Therefore, the dead objects arranged at the forefront can cause limited trouble to the Later Jin army.

The real line of defense of the meat grinder is the four chest walls in the frontier of the Ming army, and the unique central ring main position.

As a senior student from later military academy, Macheng naturally mastered the essence of the central circular defensive position. This kind of field defensive position has many benefits, and is not afraid of cavalry siege from all directions. It also makes full use of the poor terrain to form a firepower distribution that matches high and low.

In addition, there are several oblique cutting positions between the front and the central position, which are used as attack and retreat channels, allowing front-line troops to retreat or provide quick support from the central position.

Naturally, this kind of defensive position also has a huge flaw, that is, it is the fear of heavy artillery bombardment.

Macheng arranged such defenses, which was also very confident in opening the original artillery battalion, believing that its eight artillery posts and forty-eight front doors could fully suppress the artillery fire of the enemy army. This was also a big bet, just to open the original artillery battalion’s advanced artillery battalion.

Firework, sharp artillery fire can suppress the Red Cannons of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. Although the Red Cannons of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty have a long range and great power, their artillery skills are far less than those of the original artillery battalion.

At night, the west bank of Hunhe River.

On the other side, more than 100,000 Eight Banners troops camped along the river and sent a large number of slaves to dig soil to fill the river, intending to fill the Hun River during the dry season to provide convenience for subsequent army operations. On the west bank, the Ming army's positions were also speeding up their work and putting their chest walls on their positions.

The bunker is reinforced more thickly, and the war is about to begin and the wind is blowing.

At the same time, Ning Yuan.

Ningyuan is no longer as good as before. After investing huge manpower and financial resources to repair, the solid Ningyuan City is comparable to Jinzhou. The night is deep, Yuan Chonghuan stood on the high Ningyuan City wearing a cloak, falling into deep thought, and dozens of confidant generals on the left and right.

If you dare to say something, only people keep squatting and keep warm. At this time, the temperature difference between morning and evening in Liaodong is extremely large. You can only wear a single clothes at noon. At night, you will still feel cold and shivering when you put on a cloak.

The wind blew, and Yuan Chonghuan looked at the direction of Chenyang and fell into deep thought.

Kaiyuan's letter was opened, but he still wrote three urgent letters in a row, urging him not to go out of the city to fight, and avoid repeating the mistakes of Sun Chengzong's defeat in Liaohe. Kaiyuan's meaning was to send a large number of cavalry to harass him, and be sure to capture Chenyang and Liaoyang's side. The army was unable to remain peaceful day and night. Yuan Chonghuan frowned. He also knew that the counterattack of Liao Chen was facing great risks. However, he could not ignore the situation at the moment. The capital came to envoy, and the emperor ordered him to send troops to counterattack of Liao Chen today.

The Ma family and son of Kaiyuan fought against the Later Jin Dynasty. The emperor was so happy that he praised Ma Lin and Ma Cheng as loyal ministers and generals who were unparalleled in heaven and unparalleled underground. Therefore, he, the Ji Liao commander, was extremely set against the backdrop of the Ma family and son. Embarrassing, holding heavy troops in hand, and spending countless food and supplies every month, the emperor was already very upset. Yuan Chonghuan felt a bad feeling in his heart. If he did not obey the order this time, the will for punishment would probably arrive in a few days. Everything will be stopped at that time.

No one knows better than him that, when he is a man of today, he is stubborn, irritable, but he is soft-hearted and indecisive. He has no choice but to fight in this battle, and he cannot help but think of a famous saying in Ma Cheng's military science, the warrior, This is a political stop, and this is a great saying. Yuan Chonghuan deeply felt that the great truth of this famous saying in military science was really good. Then Ma Chengguo was a rare genius and a master of military science.

On the city wall, Yuan Chonghuan finally made up his mind to send troops to counterattack Liao Chen.

Yuan Chonghuan was also a handsome talent. After making up his mind, he said resolutely: "Send troops in two days and all of them will be dispersed."

The generals of the Zuo Jin Ningyuan were excited and they all surrounded the coach and walked down the city.

Yuan Chonghuan said resolutely again: "Zhao Rujiao."

A middle-aged general responded respectfully: "There is the mark!"

Yuan Chonghuan suddenly became excited and said with a smile: "You will lead three thousand cavalry to the Liaohe River tomorrow and be warned along the river. Do the uncles and sons of Liaodong want to be famous generals in Zhongxing? We cannot be left behind."

Dozens of senior generals and officials around him laughed, and the atmosphere became relaxed. The Liaodong uncle and son fought a decisive battle with the 100,000 enemy troops in Kaiyuan. How many defenders can Chenyang have? This battle should be very likely. Zhao Shujiao, among them, was under his command. The cavalry generals were very confident and believed that the Guanning Iron Cavalry was no worse than the Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry. Even though the Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry could defeat the Eight Banners soldiers repeatedly, the well-equipped and well-trained Guanning Iron Cavalry had no reason to be afraid.

The next day, the Ningyuan city gate was wide open.

Three thousand Ningyuan cavalry went out of Ningyuan, guarded along the Liaohe River, and responded to 80,000 Guanning troops crossed the Liaohe River and counterattacked Chenyang. However, the army's expedition was extremely tedious. It would take more than ten to carry food and grass, drag the cannons across the river, and to reach the city of Chenyang. The matter of the queen is around. There are many elite troops in the 80,000 Guanning Ming army, including the main force, including 30,000 Shanxi New Army. Some Shanxi New Army trained by the Kaiyuan Army system can still fight.

Early in the morning, Korqin Grassland.

The largest commercial port on the grassland is called meadows. It is located in the beautiful land of Hetao, Liaohe River. It is centered on a land city cluster and covers an area of ​​ten miles. It is a newly emerging grassland market. This meadows cluster is To the southeast, you can reach Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan, to the northeast, and to the southwest, you can connect Shanxi and Shaanxi within the Great Wall, gradually developing into a trade center connecting grasslands, Kaiyuan and northwest of the Ming Dynasty.

The sun rises in the east, the sun shines thousands of lights, and the meadows gather inside and outside in a mess.

The big trucks, people and goods entering and leaving the traffic were blocked. Two hundred thousand Oirats attacked in large numbers. The timid merchants packed up their goods and drove the big trucks to escape to Shanxi. The fleeing people extended from the grassland to the Great Wall.

The long convoy was endless. The thousand Ming troops stationed in the Meadows had already returned to Kaiyuan. Now the public security of this large market is a guard organized by thirty-eight chambers of commerce.
