Chapter 666 Discovering the Weakness of the Ming Army
None of the eight Heshuobeles in Jianlu was a rookie on the battlefield. These eight people were all experienced in battles.
Therefore, Jierhalang, on the one hand, urgently ordered the garrison of Anshanyi to go to the rescue first, and on the other hand, he ordered the garrison of Liaoyang to assemble, and at the same time, he also sent an urgent message to Huang Taiji in Shengjing.
Jierhalang was very shocked that the Ming army actually had the idea of Haizhou. You must know that due to the geographical location of Haizhou, it is impossible for Dajin to allow it to capture it.
Although there was the new army of the Ming Dynasty that had taken advantage of Dai Jin several times, Jierhalang was not afraid at all. Because this was Dai Jin's territory, and the main forces of Dai Jin were stationed around it. It was not like the above
You can ambush him just like you did every time.
Because of the winter war, many troops were still being repaired and could not set off in an instant. In order to seize the time, Jilhalang could not wait for all the troops to assemble.
He led five thousand standing troops who could leave at any time, and immediately rushed to Anshan Station, preparing to meet the new Ming army.
When Jierhalang rushed to Anshan Post, he happened to meet the Anshan Post garrison who had fled back after being defeated. After some questioning, he was secretly surprised. He didn't know what the Ming army was up to. They attacked so fast. Could it be that they had already been eaten?
Lost the entire Haizhou?
Ji'erhalang thought about it and thought it was impossible. After all, fighting a battle and sieging a city is not just a game. You can conquer it if you say it can be conquered. The siege battle must not only be fought, but also a series of follow-up matters must be dealt with. There is no one or two.
How could it be possible to stabilize Haizhou in just one day?
If Haizhou had not been stabilized, the Ming army would have crossed Haizhou and attacked all the way. What a ridiculous thing it would have been.
Ji'erhalang didn't want to understand the specific reason, but he knew that the Ming army was not large in number, only about a thousand people, and it was twenty miles away in front.
He looked at the sky. It was already evening and it would get dark soon. But these days, when the moon is full, he could see farther even at night. After waiting for a while, the Ming army did not attack.
movement.
Therefore, Jierhalang ordered to set off without hesitation. If the Ming army had not escaped, five thousand elites would have been able to kill more than a thousand Ming troops.
His men advised him that the fact that Anshanyi's men and horses were beaten back to their hometown by the Ming army proved that the combat power of this Ming army should not be underestimated.
For this reason, Jierhalang was a little reluctant to answer. But he had a good temper. Even if he didn't want to, he explained to his subordinates: "The Ming army has firearms, which are good for long-distance attacks. Anshanyi's
If the men and horses dismounted on their own, and what kind of heavy infantry was there, wouldn't it have given the Ming army a chance to shoot calmly? If those few people hadn't died in the battle, even if they escaped, I would still want their heads!"
When his subordinates heard this, they even said "yes", and at the same time they understood what their master meant. It was to use cavalry to attack and reduce the distance with the Ming army in the shortest possible time. It was up to him to decide whether the next step would be a cavalry or infantry battle.
.
The moon was just like these nights, not covered by clouds. It was a big round basin, giving the earth a silvery glow.
Five thousand cavalry troops, rolling with iron hooves, charged directly at the Ming army twenty miles away.
When the forward scouts appeared in twos and threes at Niutougang, they found a black shadow in front of them crossing the road, blocking the way.
At the same time, members of the "Thunderbolt" brigade hiding in the dark used bows and crossbows to kill several of them. However, no matter what, the information that there was a police force ahead was quickly fed back to Jilharang.
Jierhalang could not see the situation of the Ming army in the distance, but from the information reported by Tanma, he could infer that the Ming army had built a wall to block the Jin army.
He calculated based on the time and was a little surprised as to why the Ming army built the wall so quickly.
But even if a wall is built, so what? The poor light at night is more conducive to Daikin shortening the distance from the Ming army, thereby achieving the purpose of close combat with the Ming army.
According to past experience, as long as the musketeers are approached by the Golden Warriors, they will be massacred.
Jierhalang immediately sent out four groups with two Niulu as a group, spread out on the official road and both sides, and took advantage of the cover of night to rush towards the Ming army.
From behind, he watched the blurry shadow in front of him, slowly getting further and further away, getting closer and closer to the Ming army's position in the distance.
Jirhalang expected that the Ming army would open fire, but in fact, to his surprise, the Ming army's position was quiet.
At some point, he even wondered whether the Ming army had escaped.
Suddenly, there was a sound of people shouting and horses neighing in front of them, as if the attacking cavalry was in chaos. But Jierhalang didn't hear the Ming army's musketry, which made him a little confused.
However, he was also a person who was used to fighting. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood that the Ming army had either scattered nails in front of the position or dug a pit to break the horse's legs. With the cover of the night, the effect would be much better than during the day.
In the darkness of the night, no one saw Jierhalang's pupils shrink and he looked ahead seriously. As he expected, the sound of Ming army's muskets was heard in the distance.
Of course, Ji'erhalang never thought about defeating the Ming army in one go. The vanguard in front was more of a test. But even so, listening to the screams of the minions and watching the Ming army's constant flashes on the battlefield
The fire made me feel uncomfortable.
Listening to the sound of muskets fired by the Ming army, Jierhalang's mood suddenly changed from gloomy to sunny, and he burst out laughing.
When his men heard him laughing, they couldn't help but feel a little strange. What happened to Heshuo Baylor? He wouldn't go crazy after losing so many men, right?
One of the men called out worriedly: "Master, Master?"
Jilharang glanced at him. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could tell what he was thinking. But he was in a good mood and didn't care about it. He also explained to them: "You know how to fight this night."
, what is the great disadvantage of the Ming army?"
There is no doubt that compared to daytime, the disadvantage is that it cannot be seen clearly. One of his subordinates mustered up the courage to answer this question.
"Yes, it's just that we can't see clearly. Did you see that the Ming army didn't light torches? Because they knew that if they lit torches for illumination, they would be in the light and we would be in the dark, and we, Dajin, would be used as targets. Also,
Do you remember the Battle of Saarhu that determined the fate of our nation?"
Jirharang was in a good mood and asked with a hint of amusement.
One of his men immediately replied: "There was heavy fog at that time, and the Ming army had to light fires, so I, Dajin, hid in the dark and annihilated them."
Another subordinate immediately had doubts, and he expressed his opinion: "But this time the Ming army can still shoot without lighting fires, so they don't need to be exposed to torch light."
They couldn't figure out why the Ming army's muskets could fire without ignition. But the fact before them was like this, and they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. One of them said: "Then the night has little impact on the Ming army?"
Ji'erharang didn't hold back and said directly: "Didn't you notice that the gunshots of the Ming army's guns were sparse? This shows that despite the moonlight, it still seriously affected their ability to load ammunition."
