Seeing that the Qing army was still pretending to be crazy and stalling for time, Zhou Yuji guessed that Chang Yu would eventually give the order to start the battle after reading the letter. However, the crowd was now so excited that a group of killing talents were ready to move, but they could no longer hold back, so he decided to warm up first and ordered the army to move forward.
, Tu Yuan led the Black Tiger Battalion and led the Jinwu Guards to move to the west wing, Hao Yaoqi led the Tengxiang Guards to move to the west wing. He and Huang Degong pushed the main force straight forward and went straight to the Beiyang River to press.
But when Dorgon and one of his subordinates were thinking about how the Ming army would respond in the commander's tent, they broke out and reported urgently, and the Ming army advanced. Everyone was frightened and hurriedly ran out of the tent to look towards the other side. Black clouds were rolling in the sky, and above it was
Under the clouds, the dark troops and horses formed a strong momentum.
What the hell is going on? Dorgon was angry and frightened. After the first reply, the Ming army sent troops to approach. The second reply was directly pushed to the front. Once he replied, the other party bounced back. This is what he wants to talk about peace.
What do you mean!
"Prepare for war!" Dorgon shouted, ordering the soldiers and horses on the riverside defense line to prepare for battle. No matter whether the Ming army was pretending or they really wanted to fight him, they must use all their strength, not to mention that the Ming army was not a show-off at all now.
The most basic principle of marching and setting up camp is to have mountains and water at your back. The Qing army’s camp was set up on the bank of Beiyang River, which can be attacked and defended. For the safety of the camp, a deep water section was deliberately found in front of the camp. At this time, the camp was
The Qing army deployed thousands of archers on the river bank in front of the camp. Even if the Ming army could not wade through deep water and attack directly, even these thousands of hard bows would cause heavy losses to the Ming army.
Shang Kexi fled back to the camp in panic and went straight to Dorgon's tent and shouted: "Prince Regent, the Ming army is coming!"
Dorgon was angry and yelled at him: "Why did you anger that dog eunuch..." Shang Kexi suddenly had three black lines on his face. I didn't even say a damn word and no one saw him.
One, I am so irritated... I endured the irritation and quickly explained to Dorgon.
"You stupid castrated guy, he didn't leave any room for us when talking about peace talks. He made it clear that he has the final say!" Duduo bared his teeth in hatred and clapped his hands: "Fucking hell and
They fought hard, otherwise they would really think that we would not dare to fight."
"Yes, fight them!" The generals were furious. The Ming army was simply too bullying.
Dorgon was a little confused. He was pacing back and forth, rubbing his hands constantly. His eyes were passing over the camp, and then he was staring at the Ming army soldiers and horses that were still slowly advancing due to the south. His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot!
"Your Majesty, the Ming army is pressing too hard. Unless we meet their conditions in the camp, a fight will begin sooner or later. We might as well take this opportunity to show our bottom line and let them know our bottom line and determination! Besides, it's hard to say who will win in a real fight!
"Qing general He Tuo suggested that although he was young, his analysis was sound and everyone agreed.
"A small impatience will mess up a big plan. We have to fight, but not now. It will be safer if we can delay the front for a while longer." Dorgon gritted his teeth and said every word. The ministers sighed and Duduo shouted.
In one breath: "What I'm saying is" looking at the approaching Ming army in the distance: "The water will cover us and the soldiers will block us. If they want to talk, let's talk. If they attack us, we will have to fight back and be beaten. Let's wait and see."
Tens of thousands of Ming troops gathered early in the morning after being fed and drunk. It has been several hours since they set out from Qingzhou City in the middle of the morning. The so-called vigorous effort will be exhausted again and again. After waiting here for too long, the energy and energy may be a little wilted. I have already lost all the energy.
They were in a tiger-like posture, so Zhou Yuji had to let them warm up first, and then divided his troops into three groups to advance forward like horns.
Sure enough, when Tu Yuan and Hao Yongzhong's two-wing troops moved, the Qing army on the other side immediately mobilized troops to prevent the Ming army from crossing the river. The Qing army on the other side was waiting on the other side, where the water was deep and the Ming army launched a frontal attack.
The probability is lower.
Zhou Yuji and Huang took advantage of the main force to advance to a certain place in Beiyang River and then stopped. Then they looked at the other bank for a while, smiled at each other, and fired two cannons?
So he immediately sent people to the back of the formation to send orders to mobilize the Shenji Battalion.
It is said that after the Qing army entered the pass and ran into a wall in the capital, they went south to plunder. Chang Yu was ordered to pursue the enemy warlord with nearly 100,000 troops, including two general soldiers, four emperor's personal guards, Li Yan's righteous army and Shenji.
camp.
Among them, the Shenji Battalion had the fewest soldiers and horses, but its commander had the highest official rank. He was the respectful marquis of the Ming Dynasty. Chang Yu bowed and raised his hands and called him "Marquis" when he saw him.
Wu Weiying, the Obedient Marquis, was originally the Governor of the Beijing Camp. In the past, he was also an arrogant and domineering leader. He had the same virtues as those nobles who had nothing to do in the capital every day. When Chang Yu came out of the border, the general ordered him to command the Shenji Camp, but he was stripped of the air power. He had no intention of doing so.
Those who fight for power just want to hang out in the military and stay safe.
However, as Zhu Zhechi approached, Wu Weiying, who was just dawdling at first, gradually changed his mind as he followed Chang Yu on his expeditions to the north and south. According to his past thoughts, no matter how hard these generals worked to earn fame, they would not be able to be made marquis and be on an equal footing with him.
, and he is already a Marquis, why should he work so hard anymore, even though he is just relying on the blessings of his ancestors.
It can be seen that the little eunuch went through life and death to suppress the bandits. Yu Qing led a group of military generals to risk their lives and fight hard. He realized another meaning of life, the feelings of family and country!
There is also the Shenji Battalion, which he has always regarded as a dragster, but has become a weapon of the Ming army. It is not used at ordinary times, but it will perform extraordinary feats at critical moments!
As a result, the lazy and high-minded Marquis Gongshun suddenly broadened his horizons and became more low-key, so low-key that he had almost no sense of existence. For example, he was present at every military meeting, but he almost never expressed opinions or suggestions.
, because he knew that he had almost no military talent, so he talked less, listened more, and studied more.
This time the Ming army broke out of camp and advanced, Wu Weiying led the Shenji Battalion's rearguard, who was leisurely lowering his body and chatting with the soldiers. You must know that this time, after chasing the enemy for thousands of miles and fighting countless battles, all troops and horses suffered serious losses, except for the Shenji Battalion's 5,000-person organization.
Damage is minimal.
"Master Wu Hou, General Zhou has ordered the Shenji Battalion to go into battle!" When the order came to the rear to convey the order, Wu Weiying was slightly excited, clenched his fist and shouted: "We are alive, all troops and horses are ready for battle."
In the Qing army's camp, Dorgon held a telescope and stared intently at the Ming army's camp. Seeing them standing still inside and outside, he was puzzled. Is he pretending again?
"The Ming army can't cross the river without boats and won't attack from the front. If they want to attack, they have to attack from both wings." Duduo muttered beside him: "Look at this scene, could it be..." Before he could finish his words, he suddenly saw the Ming army in front of the formation, and the front row was in chaos.
Several groups of cavalry spread out towards the wings!
Could it be...
As soon as Dorgon and the generals thought about it, they heard the roar of cannons, and hundreds of artillery shells roared towards the camp!
Everyone was horrified and hurriedly fled towards the west. Immediately, the artillery shells fell into the Qing army's positions by the river and some camps, causing screams.
Zhou Yuji came here to warm up, not to fight hard, and he would not be stupid enough to attack head-on. But when he saw the Qing army's archer position on the other side, he felt itchy in his heart! So he arranged the easiest job for the Shenji Battalion since leaving the capital.
:Just fire the bombardment at the other side!
Although the firing range of the Tiger Cannon is not too far, it is far better than the range of ordinary bows and arrows. The Shenji Battalion has an artillery force of 400 Tiger Cannons and nearly 200 Tiger Cannons. Under the simultaneous bombardment across the river, the Qing army's archers were unable to fight back.
, in the blink of an eye, the riverside position in front of the camp was covered by artillery, and the bullets rained down like a rain of casualties, and everyone fled in all directions.
Artillery, artillery again! Dorgon and the others were so angry that they almost spat out a mouthful of blood. They wouldn't be afraid of you in a group fight or duel, but you fucking carry artillery wherever you go. You're insane.
ah!
It has to be said that in the cold weapon era, firearms were used as auxiliaries and substitutes in many cases. Even though the Ming Dynasty's firearm technology is now the world's leading, it has not been fully utilized. It only feels like home when attacking a city.
, the rest of the time is still a world of swords and spears.
Even though Qi Jiguang invented this kind of field artillery, it was only used when going into the mountains to suppress bandits. Until Chang Yu took it out and used it wherever he wanted, it made the Qing army feel extremely angry but helpless.
You must know that the Qing army did not even have any decent artillery at first. After King Sanshun rebelled, he brought many firearms craftsmen with him. The Qing army's artillery technology improved by leaps and bounds, and the artillery they built was not inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty.
However, its utilization rate of firearms is lower than that of the Ming Dynasty, because in their view, firearms are not accurate and slow to change ammunition, so there is no such thing as a strong bow and a sharp knife.
However, after several attempts along the way, Dorgon decided to take a closer look at this issue after going back.
In this way, the Ming army did not move a single soldier, did not fire a sword or an arrow, and just watched the fire from the other side, watching the artillery fire destroying the lives of the Qing army, and watching the Qing army fleeing in panic.
This is the price you pay for not facing the problem squarely, this is the punishment for you pretending to be stupid and stalling for time!
