Chapter six hundred and fiftieth IX cruel strangulation battle
On the third day of February, in the Qing army camp.
"Your Majesty! It is estimated that what is chasing us is the Ming army we met in Cheng'an County. Now that they have emerged from their turtle shells, it will be easier to deal with them. Let me lead Wan Yuerlang to completely destroy them!" Du Du
Said. Du Du thought it was Yu Zilian's Ruzhou Army who was chasing him.
"Don't underestimate the enemy! There must be other Ming troops, otherwise, they wouldn't be so courageous." Dorgon replied, "In just two days, more than fifty men have not come back. This seems like a failure."
That Ming army in An County? It seems like we still have to fight a battle with the Ming army before we leave!"
"That's not good! I think the slaves are the main force of the Ming army to suppress the thieves. If we kill them, wouldn't the thieves be able to make trouble again? It just fulfills the emperor's wish. But that's what the Ming army did. They sent out tens of thousands of people
, I already think highly of them." Du Du smiled.
Dorgon also smiled, thinking that what Du Du said was right, but he still said: "I will leave you ten thousand people, and you will still escort the captured troops to the outside of the pass. I will take the rest of the troops with me,
Let’s destroy this nasty Ming army first, and then we can leave the border together.”
"Does it take so much effort? With Your Majesty taking action and more than 20,000 national athletes, the death of the Ming army is worth it." Du Du flatly flattered Dorgon.
"Hahaha——! You can't say that! After entering the pass for so long, I finally met a Ming army that dared to fight." Dorgon waved his hands and said with a smile, but he couldn't hide his heart in his words.
of pride.
"It's better to be a slave! How can you kill a chicken with an ox-cleaver?"
"It's better for me to go! Otherwise! My body will also become rusty."
"Hahaha--!"
…
After encountering the Runing Army's spies, the Qing army immediately divided into two groups. Du Du led 10,000 men and was still escorting the population, livestock and property, while Dorgon led the Qing army's main force of 23,000 men and took the initiative to greet them.
Runing Army. At this time, the distance between the two armies was about 250 miles.
But as soon as the Qing army sent troops, Dorgon stopped being contemptuous, because the strangulation battle between the spies of the two armies was too fierce. The losses on both sides exceeded fifty people every day, and the number of casualties continued to rise every day.
trend.
You must know that the spies sent by the Qing army were all experienced veterans who were skilled in bows and horses. And many of them were born from a fishing and hunting background. But even so, the strangulation battle between the Qing army and the Runing army ended in a draw.
The losses are almost the same.
What is even more horrifying is that this Ming army was not afraid of casualties at all, still maintaining such a high intensity of strangulation, and the number of spies they sent became larger and larger. From a dozen people to dozens of people, and finally there were even
A detachment of hundreds of people looked like they were wasting their lives.
Judging from the performance of this Ming army spy, Dorgon knew that he had met a strong opponent. So Dorgon also began to increase the intensity of sending more spies, and escalated the strangulation battle without showing any signs of weakness.
.And at the same time, Dorgon issued a "kill order".
In the war at this time, the role of military spies is similar to the role of radars and satellites in the modern army. Imagine that no matter how advanced the missiles and aircraft of the modern army are, if there are no radars and satellites, the enemy's targets cannot be found. Then the missiles,
The role of the airplane is almost zero.
This is why? In the battle between the cavalry group and the infantry group, the cavalry group has the upper hand. As long as the cavalry group completely kills the infantry group's spies in the pre-war strangulation battle, the infantry group will be blindfolded.
Fight the cavalry group. Obviously, the cavalry group knows where the infantry group is, but the infantry group does not know where the cavalry group is. One side is bright and the other is dark. Then the cavalry group can choose when and where to fight. That is,
Said: The cavalry group took full advantage of the time and location.
Let me make a digression here. The pig's feet mentioned in many time-travel novels are all about practicing the Spanish phalanx and making firearms, but they do not pay attention to the role of the cavalry at all. The author admits: If the Spanish phalanx is well equipped with firearms, it will
With complete preparations, the probability of blocking the attack of the cavalry group is indeed 50-50.
But many authors who write time-travel novels don’t understand. When the spies of this army are completely strangled by the cavalry group, how can they attack the cavalry group? How can they still fight when they can’t find the cavalry group?
Moreover, the cavalry group clearly knows your every move. They can choose to lead you to an open area suitable for cavalry charge; they can bypass your army and attack your home base, then surround Wei and rescue Zhao to ambush you; they can even ignore you and attack
Are you expecting the cavalry group to foolishly charge towards the Spanish phalanx in an area that you cannot protect?
Therefore, the war is not just about two armies confronting each other. Starting from the strangulation battle of the spies, the two armies actually began to compete with each other in a battle of wits and courage.
The "Kill Order" issued by Dorgon was precisely to allow the Qing army to gain the upper hand in the strangulation battle with the Runing army.
In the area between the two armies, although it has been ravaged by the Qing army for several months, there are still a large number of refugees and people who are unwilling to leave their homes. The Runing army and the Qing army are preparing for a big war. The original spies from both sides
They were too busy scouting and killing each other to pay attention to these people. However, as Dorgon issued the "Kill Order", these people were in great danger.
The content of Dorgon's "Kill Order" is very simple, that is, if the spies of the Qing army see two legs, they will kill them all. Dorgon wants to form a no-man's land in front of the Qing army, preventing you from
The spies of the Ning Army put on makeup and approached, and through such clearing, it was difficult for the spies of the Runing Army to hide.
So the Runing army was immediately at a disadvantage in this strangulation battle. Because this was the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army spies had no psychological barriers to killing the people of the Ming Dynasty, but the Runing army could not.
Then something like this happened. The Qing army spies kept arresting people, and after learning the movements of the Runing army spies through interrogation, they killed them all. But the Runing army spies could not find the people and learned about the Qing army.
The spies are on the move.
During this period of light and darkness, the Runing Army's spies suffered several losses. The area where the Runing Army's spies could move was greatly restricted, and the Qing Army took the lead as soon as the war started.
Wu Shigong knew that he was in trouble. Unless his Runing army followed the Qing army's example and killed the people to clear the place, otherwise, it would be difficult for the Runing army to win the strangulation battle. The only good thing is that the Qing army deployed in the army
After all, the strangulation net in front of him was not airtight. Through the sacrifice of a lot of spies, Wu Shigong finally learned that the Qing army facing him would not exceed 25,000 at most. Of course, the strength of the Runing army was also destroyed by the Qing army.
Found out.
If the opportunity was lost, the Runing Army could no longer remain passive. So Wu Shigong immediately ordered the scope of the strangulation battle to be narrowed, and arranged the spies to be about fifty miles in front of the army to reduce unnecessary losses, and then began to maneuver at high speed.
.
Wu Shigong wanted to use high-speed direction change maneuvers to prevent the Qing army from grasping the exact position of the Runing Army. Before the battle, he wanted the Runing Army to occupy a favorable position and himself to occupy a favorable terrain before starting the battle.
.The Qing army also began to change direction at a high speed for the same reason. The two armies immediately started the "big sea battle" mode.
It's very interesting. This kind of approach is really like a large-scale battle. The two armies are like two main fleets on the vast sea, constantly changing directions to occupy a favorable fighting position. The spies are like a fleet sent by the fleet.
Reconnaissance planes constantly monitor the position of the opponent's fleet.
After that, there was a series of complex changes of direction, but the two armies still approached in a spiral counterclockwise direction. It was not until the eighth day of February that the two armies camped forty miles apart.
At this time, the commanders of the two armies, Wu Shigong and Dorgon, both knew that the other side had bad intentions. The previous series of strangulations and army movements had already shown that the two armies were well-trained. From these small aspects, they could
It can be seen that the enemy's combat effectiveness is definitely comparable to our own.
The long-term marching in different directions also made the two armies exhausted. Coincidentally, after setting up camp, both armies rested for a whole day in their camps.
On the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month, the Forbidden City in Beijing.
Yu Zilian walked out of the hall with a gloomy face, and suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "Servant Yu! Please stay." Yu Zilian looked back and saw Wang Chengen rushing out to catch up.
Yu Zilian immediately saluted Wang Chengen and asked: "My lord, what do you want from me?"
Wang Chengen immediately returned the greeting with a smile, then leaned into Yu Zilian's ear and whispered: "Shilang Yu! Let me say something that is heartbreaking! Why do you go against the emperor's wishes? Let your Ruzhou army stay in the capital.
, why do you need to send cavalry to Jinan? There are only three or four thousand people, thrown into the Tatar army, and there will be no waves. Can you bear to abandon such a good man?"
After learning that Jinan had fallen, the cavalry corps lent to Yu Zilian was already unstable. When they learned that Wu Shigong's request for help in the capital was rejected by the imperial court, the cavalry corps immediately exploded. They ignored Yu Zilian's various efforts to persuade him to stay, and
Yesterday, the commander of the Cavalry Association led more than 3,000 cavalry to leave without saying goodbye and galloped away to join the main force of the Runing Army.
However, facing Emperor Chongzhen and the princes in the court, Yu Zilian could not publicly claim that the cavalry association was lent to him by Wu Shigong, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it, claiming that he privately ordered the cavalry to be sent to him.
He rescued the Runing Army.
In fact, Yu Zilian is quite righteous. After all, the commander of the Cavalry Association and officers at all levels have the official position of imperial attache. Yu Zilian's statement has actually put the responsibility of deploying troops privately on himself. But so
As soon as he came, Yu Zilian immediately offended Emperor Chongzhen and all the princes in the court. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest support.
