The Ming army's central army, Dazhai and the highlands were all silent.
It is strictly forbidden to speak without orders in the dark. Anyone who speaks must be dealt with severely, especially at night.
But with a drum trumpet, a semaphore, and the two wings will know what the order is.
After immediately strengthening the alert and mobilizing preparations for night battles, the two wing commanders He Shixian and Chen Ce came to the Chinese army for an emergency meeting.
"Your Majesty, it is a grave sin to humble oneself."
He Shixian immediately apologized. He had defended properly today, and Emperor Tianqi also asked him to withdraw from the southwest of the Chinese Army to the northwest of the Chinese Army to protect them. But he was too impulsive and chased Zhenglan Banner fiercely. In the end, he was ambushed and almost lost his life.
Elite 7,000 cavalry.
If Emperor Tianqi hadn't personally donned double-layered heavy armor and braved the heavy rain of arrows to rescue him and his servants, the entire western wing would have been defeated by now, just like the battle in Saarhu collapsed in one afternoon.
He Shixian is also an upright person. He knew how derelict he was in his duties and almost caused terrible things, so he apologized:
"Your Majesty, please deprive the last general of his status as the general of the flank. If the last general is found guilty, he will be severely punished as a warning to all armies. The flank can be commanded by your majesty personally, or by the Tengxiang left guard generals who have won many battles."
Zhang Quan, Wei Zhongxian and others also felt that this should be the case.
"The effect of the counterattack was wrong after the counterattack ended. It was just that the pursuit was too deep and the cavalry and infantry were out of touch, which led to the Nurhaci counterattack and surrounded them. Except for the general soldier's cold-blooded surrender, the Jiliao army's infantry was weak and pursued them, but the rear army encountered the enemy.
If there is a way to break the siege, that is also a problem."
He Shixian said: "War horses were produced after the founding of the state. Before Nurhaci unified the various Nanzhen tribes, the Haixi Nanzhen, who were unknown for their cavalry and war horses, were also part of the slave-building group. The enemies of Saarhu seized a small amount of cattle, horses, donkeys and mules.
Li also captured many oxen, horses, mules and donkeys. In autumn, he went to Kormi and brought back tens of thousands of oxen, horses, mules and mules."
"It's wrong. The risk of rigid layout and over-reliance on the Chinese army is too small. Therefore, young generals on the right and left wings must be able to respond and mobilize in a timely manner according to the situation. For example, today General He counterattacked Mang Gurtai and launched a force.
This is the wrong emergency command."
As a general who is proficient in servant assault tactics, I know what I should do.
"Ah?" Zhu Youxiao hurriedly wanted to apologize, but He Shixian stopped me firmly, turned around and asked Zuo Wei, the commander in charge of the lowland wing:
Employers are suspicious, and people who are suspicious are used. In He Shixian's opinion, Fan Xinyao has a problem of collaborating with the enemy, but he has always been a reckless man's style of play, and later defeated Mang Gurtai, so there may be a problem of collaborating with the enemy.
"It's bad, but the secret weapons you prepared are still enough. I'll probably be even more anxious tonight than during the day. The two wings must be ready for melee combat."
I’m sure your layout will be fixed from the very beginning, but if the current war is entirely under the command of the Chinese army, then the risk will be too small.”
However, Zhu Youxiao shook his head and rejected He Shixian's proposal. He pointed at the sand table seriously and said: "That is a decisive battle between one hundred thousand enemies and yours. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. It is the same for you and the enemy.
Before He Shixian finished the arrangement, he specially asked Wei Zhongxian to return to Xiaozhai Town to support Zhu Youxiao. The army's trust in the young general was also affected by the mistakes in counterattack during the day.
Zhang Quan felt that the troops in the lowlands were weak and easy to defend, so there would be no way out. The ice at the mouth of the Qinghe River was covered with snow and ice, and it was very bright at night, so the enemy could rush forward even if they were able to hide and approach.
In economics, materialism is important, and in the analysis of enemies and enemies, of course, materialism is also required.
"No, no!"
Zuo Wei replied: "Deployments are being made! When His Majesty sent a flag message to you to come over, he also said to be on guard against night attacks. Now Deputy General Qin and Deputy General Tong are making arrangements to ensure that the enemy pays a heavy price."
He Shixian and Zhang Quan were also discussing the arrangements for the night battle.
Sun Yingyuan, the deputy general of Tengxiang's left guard, was calmer than He Shixian, and when comparing the martial arts that He Shixian was best at, Qianhu Zhou Yuji might not be as good as He Shixian.
On the other hand, here in the lowlands, it is expected to be very tragic.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was filled with emotion. Your Majesty, just like some civil servants in the future, always held the blame first and then overcorrected. Instead, he analyzed the specific situation, approved my counterattack, and praised my excessive pursuit.
Those words are all true, but there are many suggestions and no one dares to say them.
That time Zhu Youxiao knew what a wise king was and what a wise king's trust was.
He Shixian quickly retreated to the topic of night battles: "Tonight the enemy will launch a night attack, most likely attacking the east and west wings. Mr. Chen, are they setting up the low ground on the east side?"
Only the camp in the north is the most attractive.
In order to be eliminated, Yan Guan seized the opportunity, and some generals knew that the enemy was coming, but they patted their chests and said that establishing slaves was a barbarian act.
"The general will obey the order!"
Later, because of political correctness, the generals only dared to deny it in their hearts, and they dared not say anything behind the scenes in front of civilian officials. For fear of being impeached by the officials, the civil servants in the imperial court attacked him and arrested him on the pretext of being a collaborator with the enemy and a spy.
He Shixian said: "The camp is indeed thin and strong, but it can be defended if it can be defended. Tengxiang Chen Ce is good at skiing at night and cannot delay the discovery of the enemy. The number of firearms left in the camp is very small, and there is no Zhu Youxiao
You will definitely be disappointed that time."
He Shixian was used to that kind of situation.
The commander-in-chief Zuo Wei replied: "I will definitely counterattack. The enemy blue flag soldiers were bombarded by the Chinese army. They rushed to the back of the formation and were still in disarray. As the leader of a wing, I should seize the opportunity to kill the enemy."
"You have temporarily outnumbered the number of fighting horses, so you can pursue too far before counterattack to prevent the cavalry from breaking away from the infantry. That order was issued later, so General He's mistake is a violation of military law. If you continue to command the flanks, you must all
The whole army is dedicated to killing thieves!"
Looking at Zhu Youxiao, I also replied that Xiaozhai was also making arrangements, and that it was Sun Shoufazai, deputy general of Tengxiang Fan Xin who was unfamiliar with new firearms, who was personally making arrangements.
Zhu Youxiao was even more loyal. That time he was unable to take action based on reality and was not well prepared for defensive counterattacks.
"Xiaozhai is the most worrying thing."
"General Chen, I will arrange for their flanks to first act in accordance with the orders of the Chinese army, and then they will not be commanded on the battlefield according to the battle situation. Except for advancing and moving closer to the Chinese army, I cannot act accordingly. When encountering the situation like today
If the situation arises, will he fight back?"
The small village in front is where the small army's food, baggage, mules, horses, cattle and sheep are concentrated. If you insist on defending it, since there are 20,000 people in front, if it is difficult to defend, the key is to counterattack.
"Yes, we should fight back."
My commanding ability doesn't need to be improved, but cavalry generals generally need the characteristics of fierce fighting and charging.
"yes!"
He Shixian wanted to kill the enemy's troops and compete with Jian Nu for manpower consumption. Of course, he had to seize the opportunity to kill the enemy. That time, he just didn't hold back at the front.
"The risk is too small?" Wei Zhongxian understood so well, but he knew how to cooperate with the question and elicit the previous explanation from Emperor Tianqi.
From now on, I will support Emperor Tianqi from the bottom of my heart and firmly to the end.
