At the beginning of the next day, it is a refreshing time.
The endless sound of trumpets and drums sounded in the Jiannu camp.
Immediately, the team leader lighted a fire to make rice, and then each banner and each battalion ate one by one.
After breakfast, except for the troops who stayed behind in the main camp, each banner and battalion marched out of the camp one by one and began to form a large formation at the southwest corner of Yunlong Lake.
At this time, if the Ming army was confident in themselves, they would follow them out of the city for field battles.
This is what Dashun's army did in Shanhaiguan. They went out to fight in the field with Jiannu and Guan Ning's army.
If you lack confidence in yourself, then you can just hide in the city and wait for the Jiannu to knock on the door, and then rely on the solid city defense facilities to kill and defeat the Jiannu.
Naturally, the Ming army would not go out of the city to fight in the field.
Jianu was also mentally prepared for this.
The cannon sounded, and the flag gate of Jiannu was opened.
Duduo slowly came to the front of the battle with Luo Luohun, Luck Dehun, Hauge and other flag masters, Baylor.
Looking around, all I could see were the various armors of the Eight Banners. The flags fluttering in the wind were like the overlapping peaks of my hometown Hetuala, and the countless spears piercing the sky were like primeval forests.
The fierce and murderous aura of the powerful Eight Banners force almost hit us.
"Prince Yu." Luo Luohun turned to look at Duduo and said in a deep voice, "Have you thought about how to fight?"
"I have already made up my mind on how to fight this battle." Duduo smiled. The soldiers of the Eight Banners slept soundly last night, but he stayed up very late, thinking about how to fight Xuzhou.
It wasn't until the beginning of the battle that he finally decided on a strategy.
"Oh, really?" Luck Dehun asked curiously, "How to play?"
Duduo did not answer and asked instead: "The Battle of Saarhu was the founding battle of our Qing Dynasty. You should be familiar with the whole process of the Battle of Saarhu, right?"
25 years have passed since the Battle of Saarhu.
The Eight Banners nobles who participated in this war were either deceased or in their twilight years.
At this time, most of the people who led the army were second or third generation slaves. The oldest among them, Hauge, was only ten years old during the Battle of Saarhu, so he did not participate in the battle to found the country.
But not participating does not mean that they are not familiar with this battle.
They have heard it countless times from their parents and grandparents.
"Why is it related to the Battle of Salhu again?" Luo Luohun asked.
Duduo said: "Let me ask you, how did Lao Khan win this battle?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Luo Luohun said angrily, "Of course anyone can come all the way, I will only go all the way. The reason why our Qing Dynasty won the founding war is because of Old Khan's fighting all the way.
Law!"
Duduo said: "Then let me ask you again, which battle was the most critical battle in the Battle of Salhu?"
"Of course it's the battle to destroy the Juniper Division!" Luck Dehun said without thinking, "The Juniper Division is the most elite of the four Ming armies. There are a large number of brave Zhejiang soldiers in the army! Old Khan concentrated all his troops
Killing the Juniper tribe in one fell swoop was equivalent to pulling out the sharpest fangs of the Ming Dynasty tiger, and it also gave the entire war a good start."
Duduo said in a more serious tone: "Then let me ask you again, how did Lao Khan defeat Juniper?"
"What are you doing, Duduo? These are all stories we have heard since childhood!" Luo Luohun was already a little impatient, but he still replied with a dark face, "The reason why Lao Khan was able to defeat Jun Song was because at that time
It was dusk, and the fog came again. The Ming army was forced to light up torches, but they still could not see us Eight Banners warriors."
"But I, the warrior of the Eight Banners, can see the Ming army."
"Then the old Khan took 500 Baya soldiers as the vanguard and broke into the Ming army's Sarhu camp..."
Speaking of this, Luo Luohun suddenly came to his senses and said with a concentrated expression: "Duduo, do you want to imitate the old Khan and use Baya La soldiers as the vanguard to kill the Xuzhou Ming army by surprise?"
"That's right, use Baya La soldiers as the vanguard to kill the Ming army by surprise."
Duduo said: "I have thought twice about it last night. If we rely on the Eight Banners Han Army and the red cannons to push forward step by step, and pull out the cannon towers outside Xuzhou one by one, the fastest way will be
It will take two months or even three months, which we really can’t afford because we don’t have that much food and grass.”
Hearing this, Hauge finally couldn't help it and questioned: "Even if we want to kill the Ming army by surprise, it seems that there is no need to send out Baya soldiers, right? The red armor is enough!"
Hauge could guess with his toes that if he really wanted to send out white-armored soldiers, it would definitely be from his Zhenglan flag. Duduo's own white-trimmed flag and Dorgon's Zhengbai flag would definitely not be able to send troops.
Therefore, for the sake of Zhenglan Qi and his own interests, Hauge can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Because the Zhenglan Banner was originally the weakest among the Eight Banners, with only 30 Niulu and only 300 white-armored soldiers. Every loss of one of these 300 white-armored soldiers was a huge loss for the Zhenglan Banner.
"Prince Su's words are wrong!" Duduo said with consternation, "The tiger is fighting the rabbit with all his strength. Although the Ming court is weak, the elites gathered in Xuzhou are also the elites of the country. Naturally, the Qing Dynasty will also dispatch the most elite Ba Ya.
La Bing, this will not only minimize losses, but also ensure that we can break into Xuzhou City in the shortest possible time!"
Luo Luohun, Luck Dehun and other Baylor also agreed: "That's right. The reason why our Qing soldiers were able to quickly defeat the Ming army under Jun Song was because the old Khan mobilized 500 Baya La.
Soldiers are the vanguard!"
Hauge did not dare to object anymore. Any further objection would be to question Lao Khan's military strategy.
Luo Luohun said to Duduo again: "It is a good idea to use Baya La soldiers as the vanguard to catch the Ming army by surprise, but have you decided from which direction to launch the assault?"
"There!" Duduo stretched out his hand and pointed, "Yunlong Mountain!"
"Uh, Yunlong Mountain?" Luo Luohun and Luck Dehun were stunned.
Hauge secretly admired him, because he had already seen the brilliance of Duduo's move.
To put it bluntly, no matter how powerful the Baya soldiers are, it is impossible to continuously penetrate the more than ten gun tower defense lines outside Xuzhou City. If they desperately fill the defenses with Baya soldiers, even if the three thousand Baya soldiers are
Even if we fight all the troops, we may not be able to advance to the gates of Xuzhou City, so it will become a foolhardy act and a blind attack.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hitting Yunlong Mountain is different, this is a perfect breakthrough point.
Because judging from the defensive formation of the Ming army, they only need to break through two turrets to advance to the southern foot of Longshan Mountain in Yunshan, and then launch an upward attack against the Ming army guarding the mountain.
Then as long as the first hilltop is captured, the Ming army on the following hills will most likely collapse. Even if the Ming army does not collapse, it doesn't matter. From attacking in the plains to hunting in the mountains, this is the favorite battlefield of the Eight Banners warriors.
By capturing Yunlong Mountain, the Qing troops could advance directly to the southeast corner of Xuzhou City.
You can even let the Eight Banners Han Army carry the red cannon to Yunlong Mountain.
Then set up red cannons from Yunlong Mountain and bombard Xuzhou from a high position. By that time, the Ming army would not be able to gain a foothold on the southeast corner of the city wall, and the Qing army would be able to invade Xuzhou city without any effort.
In other words, Duduo reduced the Ming army's twelve lines of defense to three lines of defense.
Breaking through twelve lines of defense in a row is completely different from breaking through three lines of defense.
Although Luo Luohun, Luck Dehun and other Baylors were young, they were not stupid. After a little thought, they figured out the power of it, and they no longer raised any questions.
Duduo immediately shouted: "I have ordered the king to take the Zhenglan flag, the Zhenghong flag and the Baya soldiers with the red flag as the vanguard, the Zhenglan flag with Ding as the front team, and the Zhenglan flag with Ding as the rear team, and immediately launch an attack on Yunlong Mountain.
attack!"
"嗻!" Princes Beile and Baya Lazhangjing responded loudly.
…
The Ming army in Xuzhou was already well prepared, including the frontier troops on Yunlong Mountain.
Jin Shenghuan, with more than a dozen scholars and more than a dozen generals, stood at the top of the ninth peak of Yunlong Mountain facing the wind. Behind him were Ruan Dacheng and the players and actors of the National Disaster Theater Troupe.
The war is imminent, and it is impossible to continue singing opera.
Because even if the troupe continues to sing, the soldiers on the border are not in the mood to listen anymore.
So Ruan Dacheng took the musicians and performers from the troupe and stood on the gun stand on the top of the mountain to cheer for the frontier soldiers. This was probably the second time after Liang Hongyu that performers played drums or cheered for the frontier soldiers.
At this moment, Jin Shenghuan was undoubtedly very worried, because Yunlong Mountain was likely to become a breakthrough for establishing slaves.
The only good thing is that Jiannu cannot launch a direct attack on Yunlong Mountain for the time being, because there are two blunderbuss towers outside the ninth peak where he stands.
In other words, Jiannu must first break through these two blunderbuss,
Only then could he launch an upward attack on the ninth peak of Yunlong Mountain guarded by Jin Shenghuan.
Even so, Jin Shenghuan still felt inexplicably uneasy, and turned to ask the tall scholar next to him: "Xu Xiucai, is the red cannon okay?"
Xu Yingwei was the leader of the twelve soldiers transferred to Jin Shenghuan's border army.
These twelve scholars are also responsible for controlling the two Hongyi cannons mounted on the top of the mountain.
As for artillery instructor Qu Shawei, after adjusting the Hongyi cannon, he hid back in Xuzhou City.
"No problem." Xu Yingwei responded. Perhaps he thought it was not impressive enough, so he added in a more serious tone, "You will see the performance of our artillery team then!"
Normally, Jin Shenghuan might have given him a few compliments.
But at this moment, Jin Shenghuan was no longer in such a mood.
Because Jiannu has already begun to attack, and the direction of the attack is clearly Yunlong Mountain!
Amidst the constant sound of horns, one after another, the carts were rolled out from the Jiannu formation. These carts were all made of hardwood, covered with cowhide and iron sheets, and were not afraid of fire or lead.
At the same time, Jiannu on the left and right wings also moved out of the formation.
After Jiannu stepped aside to both sides, the Hongyi cannon was revealed behind him.
I saw the Jiannu artillerymen swinging their sledgehammers one after another and hammering the iron drills into the ground.
After fixing the Hongyi cannon, the Jiannu artilleryman inserted the red-hot iron drill into the fire door.
Immediately, clouds of white smoke rose up in front of the Jiannu formation. When he looked at the five gun platforms that were under attack, he saw pillars of dust rising up on the slope protection in front of them.
