Dorgon didn't care about the reactions of the generals. He turned his head and said to Zhang Liang, who was smiling flatteringly at him: "You can go to the military supply place to pick up the cart later, and I will allocate five hundred Korean gunmen to you.
Don’t let me down!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I must..."
Hearing that Zhang Liang wanted to show his loyalty again, Dorgon gently waved his riding crop. Seeing that Dorgon was a little impatient, Zhang Liang and Liu Shuncai quickly saluted, and then resigned politely.
He jumped on his horse at a trot and immediately returned to his troops to prepare for the attack.
When Zhang Liang and Liu Shun left, Dorgon also stopped smiling. Dorgon also looked down upon such betrayers. It was just that he hid it better, making it difficult for others to notice.
And those generals of the Qing army are not interested in such a generous reward. Everyone knows that this is a life of narrow escape. Otherwise, if Zhang Liang and the others easily win, they can get the future of more than 5,000 people. Then these two Khans
The number of people in the military who have gained a future will exceed the total number of people in the Eight Banners who have gained a future. All fools know that such a good thing will not happen.
Then Dorgon began to order the generals again: "Tan En, Mazali, Quangui, the three of you, along with all the Mongolian Eight Banners and the New Battalion, are divided into three teams, spread out far away, and wrap up the Ming army on the opposite side.
You don’t need to get too close to avoid their artillery and firecrackers, but you also need to keep making noises to put them in a dilemma. You must keep them where they are. In particular, you must prevent them from approaching the hill. You must not let them
Support the Ming army on the mountain."
"twitter!"
"The rest of the people are preparing behind with their own flags and cows, waiting for my king's orders at any time."
"twitter!"
"The Ming army on the opposite side is really stupid. They think they can arrange their troops into a formation and use firearms to defend the city in the field? But they don't understand their own weaknesses. The movement of their infantry phalanx cannot compare with our Qing cavalry.
"
"If we really use cavalry to charge into the formation, we have just fallen into Ming's trick. Since they want to defend the city, we will attack the city according to the siege method. First use the general's cannon to blast them away, and then use the iron cavalry to attack them.
Their last blow. So you all must understand that you must not let the Ming army on the opposite side move. As long as they don't move and let them stay within the range of our general's artillery, we will have won more than half of the battle."
The generals of the Qing army immediately became active, because Dorgon's plan was indeed feasible. Dorgon was indeed an excellent commander. He could analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the Runing army's battle formation through a short trial.
, and immediately came up with corresponding countermeasures. He is indeed a worthy person despite his reputation.
As for the two Han armies to attack the hilltop occupied by Shumo, that was to clear the way for the Qing army's cavalry movement on the east side. For the Qing army, which had the advantage of cavalry, the wider the area for movement must be, the better.
Dorgon was willing to sacrifice these two Han armies to increase the Qing army's certainty of victory. After all, excellent commanders are very cautious in using their troops.
But at this moment, only a burst of rapid drumming was heard from the Runing Army. Following the sound of the drums, the Runing Army immediately prepared their entire army. Then the drumming slowed down and a rhythmic drum beat was played.
Ning Jun immediately moved forward to the beat of drums.
This sudden change caused the brains of all the Qing army generals to shut down immediately. Why did the Ming army on the opposite side move? Did they see through their own arrangements? Moreover, the phalanx movements of the Runing army were uniform, as if
Just like modern large-scale group gymnastics, it gave people a great visual shock, so for a moment, the generals of the Qing army were stunned in place.
It wasn't until the Runing Army moved forward nearly a hundred steps, and a sudden burst of drum beating caused all the soldiers of the Runing Army to stop at the same time, that the Qing Army generals were awakened from their sleep. But they saw
The Runing army just now was as fast as a forest when it moved, and as motionless as a mountain when it stopped. All the generals of the Qing army suddenly felt a sense of terror.
"Why are you still standing there stupidly? Get ready!" Dorgon suddenly shouted angrily. The Qing generals immediately woke up, whipped their horses and ran towards their troops.
"Your Majesty! Those smart dogs are demonstrating against us." Seeing Dorgon's face full of anger, Tu Beili comforted him.
Dorgon nodded, agreeing with Tuberi's view, but he thought in his heart: "It turns out that this Ming army will not be chaotic when it moves! Isn't this a movable city? This battle is difficult.
Fight." Dorgon had just arranged the plan and gained some confidence in winning. At this time, he felt that some things were out of his control.
Dorgon didn't know that this action of the Runing Army was actually a pre-war adjustment. Although the troops had been deployed, the Runing Army did not adjust the intervals between soldiers, because just after the deployment, the Runing Army encountered
The Mongolian light cavalry charged into the formation. So they took advantage of the little time before the Qing army launched a general attack. They walked forward nearly a hundred steps, adjusted the distance, and prepared for the upcoming decisive battle. However, this action almost killed the Qing army.
The generals were so frightened that they peed.
It wasn't until Dorgon observed for a period of time and found that the Runing Army made no more moves that he felt relieved and confirmed that this was a random action by the Runing Army and that he did not see through his own combat intentions. So Dorgon shouted loudly
He ordered: "Give me the order! When you are ready, act according to the plan immediately. Don't delay any more!"
The cavalry of the Qing army began to form a very scattered formation, spreading forward and spreading out. They gradually spread out and gradually formed a semi-encirclement of the entire Runing army's formation. However, the cavalry of the Qing army
The skirmisher line was very far away, basically six or seven hundred paces away from the Runing Army, so the Runing Army's artillery could barely reach it, but after firing it could not hit the Qing Army's cavalry, so it was difficult to fire the artillery.
It's very wasteful, and it's a very sad distance anyway.
Moreover, the Qing cavalry often wandered out of their own skirmish line. The cavalry screamed and shouted on their horses, waved their weapons, and tried to be provocative, but they refused to charge within the range of Runing's muskets.
Moreover, the line of cavalry skirmishers also formed a wall, blocking the Runing Army's line of sight. In this way, the Runing Army was confused about the direction of the Qing Army's charge. Such an unrealized threat actually gave rise to
People are more intimidating. Although there is still no fighting, the tense atmosphere on the battlefield has reached its peak.
Suddenly, a burst of shouts from the Qing army came from the west side of the battlefield, and the attention of all the Runing Army soldiers was immediately drawn to the west side. The gunner prepared the artillery; the gunman set up the gun on the bracket;
The rest of the soldiers also grabbed the weapons in their hands. But after waiting for a while, the shouts from the west gradually died down.
Before the Runing Army could understand the situation in this direction, suddenly, the same shouts came from the junction of the middle road and the east side. So the attention of the Runing Army officers turned to this direction again. They thought that the Qing Army had just
The shouts came from east to west.
Sure enough, a group of Qing cavalry rushed out of the skirmish line in this direction. The Runing army prepared again to repel the Qing cavalry charging into formation. However, the cavalry did not run a few steps, but they all held back their reins and turned around.
, and retreated behind the skirmish line.
"So what are the Tatars doing?" An officer next to He Fei was a little confused.
"No matter what he is doing! Pass the order: Keep your eyes wide open. Wherever the Tatars come, you will not be responsible. No matter how fancy the Tatars are, it is useless. It is nothing more than water and soil." He Fei replied.
He Fei and the others did not know that this move of the Qing army was not only to delay time, but also to show their presence at the junction of the middle road and the west side. They wanted to tell the Runing army: If the Han army flag and King Sanshun attack the hill
At the beginning of the battle, if the Runing Army sent reinforcements, then the supporting forces would always be on guard against the Qing cavalry charging into the formation.
But as soon as He Fei finished speaking, there was another shout from the east side of the Qing army. The skirmishing line there immediately made a big gap, and the oar carts were pushed out one after another. They arranged their queues in front of the formation, and the two
More than a dozen oars were slowly lined up in a row, and then the following oars also came out, also aligned in rows. It wasn't until five or six rows were formed that the Qing army began to push slowly towards Shumo.
The direction of the occupied hilltop.
"The Tatars are going to Commander Wu. Sir, are we going to support him?" an officer asked He Fei.
He Fei observed for a while, shook his head with a smile, and said: "The number of Tatars who go to Shugui is at most five or six thousand. There is no danger there. During the usual drills, Shugui made us suffer a lot, and now we have to suffer a lot."
It's time for the Tatars to have a taste of this." Hefei's words immediately caused a burst of laughter.
For the Qing army, the hilltop occupied by Shumo was not a small threat. As long as artillery was set up on the hilltop, the area near the hilltop could be covered, making it difficult for the Qing army to pass here.
But in terms of defense, the location of this hilltop is actually not good. It is relatively close to the Qing army, deep into the Qing army's lines, and it is still a gentle slope facing the Qing army.
What's even more unfavorable is that the Runing Army also has many difficulties in rescuing it. Not to mention the long distance, but if the rescue force is sent out, it is very likely that there will be a melee with the Qing Army on the hilltop, which is not conducive to the use of firearms by the Runing Army.
If they have the advantage, they will also fall into a war of attrition. This side of the Runing Army with a small number of people will definitely suffer. Therefore, unless Shumo is in a desperate situation, He Fei will never send reinforcements.
He Fei had absolute confidence in Shumo's turtle shell, but at this time Shumo was sweating. The soil he finally collected from the shallow soil on the mountain was only enough to make a bunker for the artillery, and there was nothing he could do about it.
By building an earthen wall in front of his own troops, Shumo could only fight directly with the Qing army attacking the mountain. (To be continued...)
