"It's just that now their plan is continuing to advance without any results."
"But judging from the current situation, our war on the frontal battlefield is going quite smoothly!"
When Wu Sangui heard this, he nodded slightly and expressed his agreement.
But in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little worried...
Today's Great Khan of the Mughal Empire is Shah Jahan's son Aurangzeb.
Aurangzeb was a very wise monarch, and his life trajectory was somewhat similar to that of Li Shimin. He also killed his brother and imprisoned his father, and had the same outstanding achievements.
During his reign, the territory of the Mughal Empire reached its peak.
Except for the southern tip of the South Asian subcontinent and the Maratha Kingdom, almost the entire Indian subcontinent became the territory of the Mughal Empire.
Aurangzeb was also successfully crowned as the supreme ruler of India!
When facing the Guan Ning Army who brazenly invaded India, Aurangzeb's response was a textbook.
The first thing he did was to shrink his troops, trade space for time, and buy time for his own troops to gather.
After his troops were gathered together, Aurangzeb went on a personal expedition, preparing to take the initiative to face the invading Guan Ning cavalry on the Ganges plain.
After several battles were defeated, Aurangzeb realized that his troops were no match for the enemy in the field, so he quickly ordered the troops to cut off their tails to survive.
Then he began to play the strategy of occupying the city.
Prepare to pass through a series of fortified cities and fortresses to hinder the offensive of Guan Ning's army.
I am an expert!
In response to this, Guan Ning's army responded by sending the main force to attack Lahore to contain the large number of troops of the Mughal Empire.
On the one hand, they sent light cavalry to rush in and attack the city of Delhi.
Intention to surround the spot and call for help!
The reinforcements they want to fight are the large number of Mughal Empire's main forces currently in Lahore.
The current situation of the Mughal Empire is actually very similar to the confrontation between the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the late Ming Dynasty.
The role played by Guan Ningjun is that of the former Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The role of the Mughal Empire was the Ming Dynasty.
Guan Ning's army was strong, but because he was fighting in another country, he had many worries and was unwilling to attack a strong city.
Although the Mughal Empire was weak in military strength, it had a strong national power and a large number of troops, so it adopted the strategy of holding on to fortified cities to deal with the enemy.
As for Lahore, a fortified city that gathered a large number of Mughal troops, its role is thought to be that of Shanhaiguan in the late Ming Dynasty.
If the Guan Ning Army could not break through Lahore and severely damage or even completely annihilate the main force of the Mughal Empire in Lahore, they would not be able to launch a large-scale attack on Delhi.
Just like back then, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty could not capture Shanhaiguan, even if they entered the south of the Great Wall, they could only plunder and not stay for a long time.
Because the Ming Dynasty's Guanning Army in Shanhaiguan (the Mughal Empire's heavy troops in Lahore) may cut off their food routes and return route at any time.
In order to force the Mughal Empire army in Lahore to fight in the field, Guan Ning's army could only encircle the points and call for reinforcements.
By attacking the city of Delhi (the Qing Dynasty invaded the capital of the Ming Dynasty), they forced the defenders in Lahore to leave the city to fight with Guan Ning's army in the field.
The prerequisite for Guan Ning's army to implement this strategy is that Aurangzeb gathered too many troops in Lahore, leaving the rear empty.
The defenders in Delhi only numbered 20,000 to 30,000 people!
After the attack on the city of Delhi, if the Mughal Empire wanted to mobilize troops to serve the king, it could only mobilize the troops in Lahore.
Otherwise, heavy troops will need to be dispatched from the south to assist.
But in that case, the distance to mobilize troops would be too far and it would be too late.
As long as the Mughal Empire defenders in Lahore dare to leave the city, the Guan Ning cavalry led by Wu Yingqi will let them know what cruelty means.
Speaking of cavalry battles, except for the Ming Dynasty who did not respect martial ethics and forced the cavalry to pile up equipment, their Guan Ning army has never been afraid of anyone!
Even the Eight Banners Soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Guan Ning Cavalry were able to fight back and forth with each other during their peak period.
…
Wu Yingqi sat astride a horse and looked at the tall and majestic city of Lahore in the distance, with an inexplicable brilliance shining in his eyes.
Behind him is a large-scale military camp.
In the military camp, the Wu-character flag and the Zhou-character flag were flying high.
The military tents were arranged neatly, and the soldiers in the camp were tall and majestic, with strong armor. Just looking from a distance, there was a murderous aura coming towards them.
The Guan Ning Army has three military camps around the city of Lahore, located in the east, west and north directions of Lahore City.
To put it bluntly, it is a tactic of encircling Lahore and missing one!
For Guan Ning's army, it is not difficult for them to completely surround the city of Lahore.
However, if they really surrounded the city of Lahore on all sides and cut off traffic between the city and outside the city, then there would be no way to encircle the city and call for reinforcements.
After all, if the garrison in Lahore didn't know about the crisis in Delhi, they wouldn't have withdrawn from Lahore and gone to reinforce Delhi.
In this case, Guan Ning's army would naturally have no chance to surround the point for reinforcements.
At that time, if Guan Ning's army wants to break the current stalemate in the war, they will have no choice but to attack Lahore.
Although Guan Ning's army does not lack artillery, its ability to attack cities is not bad either.
But as long as you attack a city, casualties will inevitably occur.
Rather than attacking the city, Wu Yingqi still wanted to defeat the enemy in a field battle.
"Is there any news from Wu Guogui?"
Wu Yingqi asked the deputy general next to him.
Upon hearing this, the deputy general pondered for a while, and then spoke.
"Your Highness, there is no news from the forward side yet, but counting the time, our army's forward should have reached the city of Delhi."
Wu Yingqi nodded and said.
"In this case, the enemy forces in Lahore may withdraw from Lahore at any time!"
"I have to be ready to fight at any time!"
The lieutenant spoke.
"What your Highness said is true!" Lan
Wu Yingqi nodded slightly, and then ordered the entire army to be ready to attack at any time.
As soon as the defenders in Lahore leave the city, Guan Ning's army will quickly follow up and entangle them tightly.
…
The head of Delhi!
Aurangzeb Khan stood at the city gate tower, looking at the billowing smoke rising in the direction of a royal estate outside the city, his face so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from his face.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Aurangzeb was frightened and frightened by this thousands of enemy elite cavalry that suddenly appeared outside the city of Delhi.
Aurangzeb really couldn't figure out how this enemy army appeared outside Delhi.
Are the heavy troops in Lahore just for show?
Or is there something wrong with Lahore?
Aurangzeb was a little afraid to think about it.
Although the enemy army that suddenly appeared did not attack the city of Delhi directly, it burned, killed, and looted without restraint outside the city of Delhi.
It caused a huge blow to the morale of the defenders in Delhi.
In fact, Guan Ningjun's move can be said to be a great provocation to the Mughal Empire!
If the thousands of Guanning Army cavalry rampaging outside Delhi cannot be quickly dealt with, the face of the Mughal Empire will be trampled into the dust.
This was something that Aurangzeb could not accept at any cost.
"Is there any general who dares to lead his troops out of the city to defeat the enemy?"
Aurangzeb asked in a low and hoarse voice.
When asking questions, his eyes were shining with hope.
As long as someone dared to stand up and say that he could lead troops out of the city to defeat the enemy, Aurangzeb would give him his full support.
However, the final result disappointed Aurangzeb.
None of the generals behind him dared to stand up and say that they would lead troops into battle.
Aurangzeb's answer was only a wordless silence.
They were all frightened by the ferocity and fighting skills of Guan Ning's army outside the city.
Compared with the Mughal Empire's army, which had been in peace for a long time, the Guan Ning Army was an elite force fought on the high-intensity battlefields of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Naturally, the two sides are completely different!
Therefore, even if there were only a few thousand Guan Ning's invading troops and there were twenty or thirty thousand defenders in the city, no one would dare to take the initiative to leave the city to meet the enemy.
Aurangzeb's heart boiled with anger and he ordered.
"Send an order to the personal guards of this Khan to come out of the city to defeat the enemy and disperse the invading enemy troops!" Lan
But as soon as he finished speaking, someone stood up and objected.
"Qi Dahan, no, absolutely no!"
"Our army has limited strength. If we rush to send troops out of the city to meet the enemy, the city of Delhi will be empty."
"Once the army leaving the city is defeated, the consequences will be disastrous!"
The person who spoke was the attendant around Aurangzeb, the confidant of Aurangzeb.
After hearing this from his confidant, Aurangzeb could not suppress the anger in his heart.
"Do you want me to just watch the enemy troops wreak havoc outside Delhi?" Lan
"Where is the face of the empire? Where is the face of me?"
However, as soon as Aurangzeb said this, everyone around him spoke out in opposition.
"You must not come in rashly, Dahan!"
"Yes, the Great Khan. The safety of Delhi City is related to the survival of the empire. The Great Khan should act with caution!"
"For the sake of the empire, please bear with me for the time being!"
"..."
A group of people are persuading each other. On the surface, their words seem to make sense, and they are all considering the Mughal Empire.
However, in fact, what this group of people really care about is their own safety.
Guan Ning's army was wreaking havoc outside the city of Delhi. At most, only a group of untouchables died, and there was no threat to them.
However, if the defenders of Delhi were defeated outside the city, Delhi would be in danger.
For their own safety, they would never allow the defenders of Delhi to leave the city.
As for what Aurangzeb would think?
Haha, they recognized Aurangzeb's rule, and Aurangzeb was the great khan of the empire.
If they did not recognize Aurangzeb's rule, Aurangzeb would be nothing more than a puppet.
In the end, Aurangzeb still failed to order the army to leave the city to meet the enemy.
He had no choice but to order troops and horses to strengthen the city defense and be prepared to respond to possible surprise attacks by Guan Ning's army at any time.
…
Wu Guogui stood under the shade of a tree to enjoy the shade, holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand and fanning it time and time again.
Give yourself a cool breeze!
In front of him was a large manor building that was burning rapidly.
The people in the building were all driven to the open space, waiting to be dealt with.
There were many beautiful women here, and Wu Guogui's eyes roamed over those women, looking for the target that made his heart beat.
At the same time, this huge manor quickly turned into a piece of scorched earth.
"Haha, this Aurangzeb is really tolerant!"
Wu Guogui looked away from those women and couldn't help but complain.
After he led his troops to the outside of Delhi, he began to conduct a large-scale raid outside the city of Delhi.
Military discipline is comparable to our Qing Dynasty.
Wu Guogui even took a group of prisoners of war outside the city to execute them in front of the defenders in order to provoke them and force them out of the city.
What's more, there were lawless soldiers who took the women they had snatched and gathered them outside the city of Delhi to pull out carrots and engage in mass sports.
But even so, the defenders in Delhi did not react at all.
This made Wu Guogui very confused. How can you be so tolerant?
He felt that if he was provoked like this in Delhi, he would definitely not be able to bear it.
"Brother Guogui, the defenders in Delhi have not taken any action. What should we do next, brothers?" Lan
The person who spoke was Wang Fuchen, a well-known general in Guan Ning's army.
He is not bad at military strategy, and his personal force is quite outstanding.
This time, he was ordered to attack the city of Delhi together with Wu Guogui, forcing the defenders of Delhi to ask for help from Lahore.
When Wu Guogui heard this, he shook his head slightly and said.
"It's hard to say!"
"His Second Highness led the main force of the army to besiege Lahore. He is counting on us to open up the situation in Delhi, then force the Lahore defenders to leave the city, and then annihilate the main force of the enemy in the field."
"But our side is in a stalemate. We can't open up the situation for a long time. The war situation is not good!" Lan
Although from the current point of view, Guan Ning's army has the absolute initiative on the battlefield, the situation of Guan Ning's army in India is actually not as optimistic as imagined.
If the Guan Ning army cannot quickly defeat the defenders of Lahore, achieve a major breakthrough, severely damage or even completely annihilate Lahore, and then capture Delhi.
Once the delay is too long, it will be Guan Ningjun who falls into the passive position.
After the Mughal Empire mobilized troops from South India to move north, it would cooperate with the defenders in Lahore and Delhi to launch a pincer attack on the Guanning Army.
Then Guan Ningjun will be in trouble!
Once all the main forces of the Mughal Empire arrive, with their superior strength, the Guan Ning Army will soon fall into a completely passive situation.
Let’s take the situation in the late Ming Dynasty as an example. Although the Manchus and Qing Dynasties were able to be arrogant for a while after they invaded the Great Wall.
But once the Qinwang army mobilized by the Ming Dynasty from all over the country arrived, the Manchus could only withdraw outside the customs in despair.
And can't stay in the pass for long!
The same situation is facing Guan Ningjun now!
If we cannot achieve decisive results in a short period of time, for example, we can capture Lahore or even invade Delhi.
At that time, they will have no choice but to retreat to Xinshan Customs and wait for fighter planes.
Wu Guogui knew this very well, so he knew how important the responsibility he shouldered was.
Wang Fuchen suggested.
"Why don't our army try to attack the city of Delhi?"
He felt that since the defenders of Delhi were too timid to fight, they might be able to knock down the city of Delhi in one fell swoop.
When Wu Guogui heard this, he nodded slightly and said.
"If we can't lure the defenders out of the city, we can only try to attack the city of Delhi."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Wu Guogui's eyes lit up and he thought of a way.
"Perhaps our army can feign defeat after storming the city of Delhi, lure the enemy out of the city to pursue them, and then defeat them."
When Wang Fuchen heard this, he nodded and said.
"Okay, that's a good statement!"
"Then Brother Guogui will lead the troops to try to attack the city, and I will lead the people to prepare for the ambush."
Wu Guogui nodded in agreement.
The two began to discuss the specific details of the battle.
…
On the second day, the battle began!
While Wu Guogui was leading his troops to prepare to storm Delhi, Wang Fuchen led his troops in a mighty manner towards the Taj Mahal.
In order to cover up their true intention of setting up an ambush, Wang Fuchen and Wu Guogui prepared to use the Taj Mahal as their excuse.
After Wu Guogui ordered his people to prepare enough siege equipment, he used swords and guns to drive groups of prisoners of war and civilians from the Mughal Empire towards the city of Delhi.
Guan Ning's army was also good at driving people to attack the city.
If you want to attack a city but don't want to bear too many casualties, driving the people to attack the city is the best way.
Facing the Guan Ning Army's attack on Delhi City, the defenders in Delhi City responded quickly.
Cannon fire roared, projectiles and arrows flew, and rolling logs and stones fell like rain from the top of the city.
In the blink of an eye, it caused huge damage to the prisoners of war and civilians who were driven to the front line of the battlefield by Guan Ning's army.
The screams and wails are endless!
Corpses almost covered the open space under the city of Delhi.
Even the moat of Delhi was stained with blood.
But it is very obvious that the casualties were all prisoners of war and civilians who were driven in front of the battle, and the Guan Ning Army itself suffered almost no casualties.
Some prisoners of war and civilians could no longer bear the casualties and wanted to retreat.
But what greeted them was the iron hooves of Guan Ning's army who was supervising the battle...
With no choice, these people had no choice but to continue attacking the city of Delhi.
Guan Ning's army's attack on Delhi City lasted for three days. They launched the attack at dawn every day and did not retreat until it was completely dark.
After three consecutive days of fierce attacks, corpses in various forms of death lay outside the city of Delhi.
The bodies piled up into a hill!
It gave off waves of rancid smell, which was quite pungent.
In order to make the performance realistic enough, Wu Guogui was willing to spend money. When the battle was fierce, he ordered some Guan Ning troops to participate in the siege, resulting in heavy casualties.
Of course, those who suffered heavy casualties due to their participation in the siege were not the elite members of Guan Ning's army, but the servants.
Not to mention Wu Guogui, even Wu Sangui is reluctant to let Han people in the army fill the city!
Three days later, while Wu Guogui was attacking the city, he pretended that he could not defeat the city and retreated. As expected, the defenders in Delhi fell into the trap.
Under Aurangzeb's strong request, a pursuit force of nearly 10,000 troops came out of the city to pursue Guan Ning's army.
Most of the pursuers were elite troops directly under Aurangzeb.
Then there is no more!
This pursuer was ambushed while chasing Guan Ning's army, and was killed several times by Wang Fuchen's men, causing heavy losses.
Only a few hundred riders were able to escape the encirclement and returned to the city of Delhi in embarrassment.
The Guan Ning Army, which had just been defeated and retreated, also swaggered back and surrounded Delhi again, making a gesture of preparing to attack Delhi.
After this battle, everyone in Delhi was shaken.
Aurangzeb stood in front of his throne, scanning the courtiers in front of him, his face extremely gloomy.
Under his strong suggestion, the army went out of the city to face Guan Ning's army and was defeated. The army out of the city was ambushed and suffered heavy losses. Aurangzeb's face was beaten hard.
Because, if it weren't for his strong advocacy, the defenders of Delhi would not have left the city at all.
Naturally, there will be nothing more to come!
But even so, due to Aurangzeb's past prestige, his ministers did not dare to say anything more to rub salt into Aurangzeb's wounds.
It was just the resentful looks cast by a group of people from time to time that made Aurangzeb feel very uncomfortable.
"The enemy invaded Delhi again, and the defenders of Delhi suffered heavy losses. Please tell me, how should the Mughal Empire respond next?"
Aurangzeb took a deep breath and asked with a gloomy expression on his face.
If we say that before this, although Guan Ning's army fought as far as Delhi, it did not really threaten moral safety.
At best, it is wreaking havoc outside Delhi, disgusting and disgusting the Mughal Empire.
But things were different now. The defenders of Delhi took the initiative to go out of the city to fight Guan Ning's army, and suffered heavy losses after being ambushed.
A huge loophole suddenly appeared in Delhi's city defense!
Then, Guan Ning's army outside the city will really be able to threaten the safety of Delhi City.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Aurangzeb also realized this, and while regretting his impulse, he also asked his ministers for advice.
After Aurangzeb finished speaking, an official from the Mughal Empire stood up and said.
"Reporting to the Great Khan, the empire may order the reinforcements from the south to speed up their march and reach Delhi as quickly as possible."
"Yes, Great Khan, we can also order the untouchables in Delhi to be armed to fill the gaps in city defense."
"Please also ask the Great Khan to give orders to the Kshatriyas in the city so that they can prepare to fight for the empire!"
"..."
A group of people made various suggestions, but it was very obvious that no one wanted to mention the defenders of Lahore.
Obviously, these dignitaries of the Mughal Empire could also guess Guan Ningjun's plan!
Unless forced to do so, the Mughal Empire was unwilling to risk the Lahore defenders.
If the defenders of Lahore were also wiped out by Guan Ning's army, then the Mughal Empire might really be over.
At that time, the best outcome for the Mughal Empire would be to abandon the city of Delhi and move the capital to southern India to continue the empire.
Aurangzeb pondered for a while, and just when he was about to make a decision, someone trotted in from outside to report.
"Reporting to the Great Khan, the enemy... the enemy has attacked the south city wall. The city defense is in danger!"
After the messenger finished speaking, the expressions of a group of civil and military ministers from the Mughal Empire changed drastically.
Aurangzeb also suddenly stood up from the throne and spoke.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
The messenger explained the situation of the war to Aurangzeb with a face full of panic.
Guan Ning's army launched another attack on Delhi City this morning. They divided their troops into two groups, one attacking the east city and the other attacking the west city.
But they were all feints, with a small number of elites driving a large number of cannon fodder to attack the city.
Then when the battle situation reached a stalemate, Guan Ning's army gathered its elite troops and used its main force to attack the southern city wall.
Then there was no more. Guan Ning's army made a surprise attack and reached the city wall of Delhi.
The defenders continuously dispatched troops to counterattack, and the battle situation became a stalemate for a while.
While Aurangzeb ordered the defenders in the city to counterattack the Guanning Army on the southern wall, he quickly made the decision to have the defenders of Lahore reinforce Delhi.
It is now very obvious that the city of Delhi is clearly unable to hold on under the attack of Guan Ning's army.
The crisis in Delhi made Aurangzeb unable to care so much.
In the eyes of Aurangzeb, the city of Delhi came first.
Lahore can lose, but Delhi must not have any problems.
...Lan
Wu Yingqi led his men to guard outside the city of Lahore. Apart from sending troops from time to time to carry out tentative sieges, they were waiting for the movements of the defenders inside the city of Lahore.
December, the fourth year after the Ming Dynasty was restored, the end of the year!
There are still more than ten days left before the New Year's Day. As time goes by, Wu Yingqi's patience gradually runs out.
The reason why he still leads people to guard outside Lahore is mainly because he is unwilling to do so.
Now, he no longer has much expectations for his own plan to encircle the point and provide reinforcements.
However, just when the time came to December 20th, there was a sudden change in the defenders of Lahar.
On the night of the 20th, the defenders in Lahore took advantage of the darkness and the unprepared Guan Ning army outside the city to launch a breakout.
The heavy military group in Lahore suddenly poured out of the city and headed south.
Wu Yingqi was awakened from his deep sleep by the guards around him, and then learned the news that the defenders in Lahore had broken through.
Wu Yingqi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly burst into inexplicable energy.
I know my plan is probably coming true!
However, he did not rush to order the army to break out of camp and pursue them, but spoke.
"Send an order to the sentries and ask them to keep an eye on the enemy troops withdrawing from the city of Lahore for my general."
"Don't let them escape!" Lan
"The remaining brothers continue to rest. There is no need to move tonight. Once you have rested and regained your energy, you will have enough to eat and drink before we pursue you again tomorrow morning."
"This general wants to see where these people can run to!"
The reason why Wu Yingqi did this was because it was night now and the soldiers were all resting. It would be too hasty and troublesome to gather troops and horses to pursue them now.
More importantly, he was afraid that he would be ambushed in a rash pursuit at night!
At that point, the gains will outweigh the losses.
Rather than taking that risk, it's better to have a solid rest now and wait until daybreak to discuss the pursuit.
Anyway, Guan Ning's army is full of cavalry, so there is no need to worry about chasing the enemy.
Wu Yingqi made proper arrangements for the pursuit, and then he lay down to rest again.
Many Guan Ning army sentry cavalry left their own camp and followed closely behind the retreating Mughal Empire army.
Monitor the enemy's movements!
…
On the other side, Lahore city guard Bedru was riding on horseback. He turned around and looked at the silent Guan Ning Army camp behind him, and let out a heavy breath.
His plan to lure Guan Ning's army out of the city to pursue them, and then send troops to ambush and severely inflict severe damage on Guan Ning's pursuers, came to nothing.
Facing the defenders leaving the city, Guan Ning's army made no move at all!
It’s as if I didn’t see them leaving the city!
Taking a deep breath, Bedru ordered.
"Instruct the army to camp in place and prepare for repairs!"
Bedru knew that he could no longer escape, so it would have been dangerous to lead his army out of Lahore rashly.
Even though the Guan Ning Army is not pursuing them now, by the time tomorrow dawns, it is absolutely impossible for the Guan Ning Army to just watch them go to reinforce Delhi. They will definitely pursue them.
If they did not camp and rest tonight, but marched all night, once the Guan Ning Army's cavalry caught up with them after dawn tomorrow, they might not even have the strength to resist in the end.
In order to prevent his own army from being overwhelmed by Guan Ning's cavalry superiority during the march, Bedru made the decision to camp where he was.
Then prepare for a field battle with Guan Ning's army!
After defeating the enemy in the field, let's talk about going south to reinforce Delhi.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Otherwise, they will be frequently harassed by the Guan Ning Army’s cavalry during their journey south.
When the time comes, the outcome will be obvious.
In the wars of this era, the advantage that cavalry can occupy is simply too great.
…
The next day, it was dawn!
Guan Ning's army began to prepare for the pursuit.
Wu Yingqi received the news of the sentry report while eating.
"Your Highness, the enemy army did not go south immediately after leaving Lahore last night. Instead, they camped ten miles south of Lahore for repairs."
"We haven't broken camp yet!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Yingqi put down the golden bowl in his hand, showed an interested expression on his face, and said with a smile.
"Interesting, somewhat interesting!"
"You can't tell, but there are smart people in the enemy army." Lan
After saying that, Wu Yingqi opened his mouth and said.
"Send the order, prepare the whole army for war, and let me wait to meet these enemy troops who have blocked us in Lahore for so long!"
Guan Ning's army was blocked under the city of Lahore for almost half a year. They could not conquer it for a long time, and they felt depressed from top to bottom.
Now that they finally had the opportunity to defeat the enemy in the field, Guan Ning's army was naturally extremely excited.
Especially the servants in Guan Ning's army, all of them are holding back their energy and want to trade the enemy's heads for military merit.
Because for them, only military merit can allow them to achieve a class jump.
Only by becoming the elite of the Guan Ning Army can they get rid of their current identities and get everything they want.
Wu Sangui and Manchu Qing learned very well about using class division to stimulate the combat effectiveness of the army.
…
The sound of war drums was loud, but even louder was the rumble of horse hooves.
The Wu-character flag belonging to Wu Yingqi was flying high, and Wu Yingqi appeared on the battlefield wearing a suit of armor.
He looked at the enemy camp not far away and said with squinted eyes.
"It can be seen that the enemy's camp was built in a hurry, which gave our army an opportunity to attack!"
After Wu Yingqi finished speaking, a general on the side spoke.
"Your Highness, the last general is calling for battle!"
"Your Highness gave the general ten thousand cavalry, and the general leveled the enemy's camp!"
When Wu Yingqi heard this, he waved his hands and said.
"No hurry, no rush!"
"Wait until our army's artillery is in place before launching an attack!"
As he fought many battles with the Ming army, Wu Yingqi also developed the habit of not launching attacks rashly without artillery cover.
But Guan Ning's army is not short of artillery now!
The total number of artillery pieces of various types and calibers is quite considerable.
Some of them were made by themselves. For example, most of the city defense artillery, which did not care much about the weight of the artillery, was made by the Guan Ning Army.
The heavier one is, it's for city defense anyway, so the weight doesn't matter.
But many of them were purchased from the Ming Dynasty, such as field artillery and infantry support artillery that had very high requirements on the weight and performance of the artillery. They were purchased from the Ming Dynasty.
Although these imported artillery are a bit expensive, they are really light and easy to use.
For example, the smallest caliber five-pound field gun, as long as it is equipped with the gun carriage provided by the Ming Dynasty, basically only needs two horses to pull it, and it can maneuver quickly on the battlefield.
There is no shortage of horses on Guan Ning's army, and there are a huge number of pack horses and pack horses.
Naturally, it is not a problem to transport artillery!
