Chapter 354 Decisive Battle at Bali Bridge

"Fifty thousand Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners Cavalry?" After hearing Oboi's words, Suksaha hurriedly knelt in front of Fulin, "Your Majesty, you must not! Fifty thousand Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners are the foundation of my Qing Dynasty! If you are defeated, my Qing Dynasty will be gone! If there are 50,000 Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, even if the capital cannot defend it, our army can still withdraw from the pass and wait for a comeback in the future. If you are defeated, we will be destroyed by the outer vassal Mongolia."

In the original time and space, the outer vassal Mongolia never had the same feelings as the Qing Dynasty. When the Qing Dynasty was strong, the outer vassal Mongolian surrendered to the Qing Dynasty because she was afraid of the Qing Dynasty. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Rakshasa people became stronger, and the outer vassal Mongolia simply surrendered to the Rakshasa people.

Later, the Qing Dynasty was destroyed and the Republic of China was established, and it could not control the foreign vassal Mongolia. Later, the Tsarist Russian Empire was overthrown, the Soviet Union was established, and the foreign vassal Mongolia broke out, and even the statue of Genghis Khan was pushed down and replaced with a bearded statue. Later, with the help of the Soviet Union, the Mongols defeated the Japanese at Nomenkan. Next, China itself was invaded by the Japanese, and it was even less concerned about the foreign vassal Mongolia.

Needless to say, everyone knows what happened next.

At this time, the Qing Dynasty not only failed to control the outer vassal Mongolia, but also the Tumot Mongols and Chahar Mongols, the Qing Dynasty could not completely control it. The main thing the Qing Dynasty could control was the Korqin Mongols.

The Ming Dynasty wanted to make progress to transport civilization to the Mongolian grasslands through trade; but the Qing Dynasty implemented a high-pressure policy of reducing taxes against the Mongolians, prohibiting the Mongolians from trading with the Han people. The iron, ceramics, tea and cloth needed on the Mongolian grasslands could only be traded from Zhangjiakou through the Eight Great Masters of the Imperial Merchants, and prohibiting the Mongolians from entering the Han area from other places to trade.

However, the Ming Dynasty tried every means to send the supplies that the Mongols were urgently needed to the Outer Xing'an Mountains by sea, and then detoured into the Mongolian grasslands, and brought the iron pots, ceramics, grass leaves, and cloth they needed the most. They also purchased the Mongolian wool, woven the wool into warm wool-made clothes, and then sold them to the Mongolians.

It can be imagined that once the Horqin Mongolian Eight Banners used by the Qing Dynasty to suppress the Mongols failed, the Mongols on the grassland would inevitably kill all the Qing Dynasty.

But Oboi said: "The Qing Dynasty survives and dies, and this battle is here! My Qing Dynasty can enter the Central Plains and seize Yanjing. It is the decades of efforts of the two generations of Taizu Taizong to achieve today's achievements. How can we give up easily! Minggou also fought to the death. Minggou's pseudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-seudo-se

Fulin was hesitant, and he thought of giving up the capital and retreating to the outside of the pass. But BumuButai firmly supported Oboi's approach: "General Ao's words are reasonable, and the survival of the Qing Dynasty is here to fight! Ai's family has delivered the elite coefficient of the Qing Dynasty to you, and you can let go of your hands and fight to the death with Minggou!"

"Zhe! I'm willing to die for my master!" Obai knelt on the ground and beat him up.

Then Obai led 30,000 Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners Cavalry, 30,000 Eight Banners Han Arms and Firearms, and 50,000 Green Camps in the Capital, a total of 110,000 troops, leaving the capital and attacking towards Bali Bridge.

Because the Qing army relied on the capital to fight, all the 110,000 troops set out to fight were war soldiers, and none of them were auxiliary soldiers.

The Ming army was very powerful as the light cavalry who did not stop the whistle at night. With their revolver that could be fired continuously, they defeated the Qing army's scouts and whistle cavalry again and again. Even the most elite white-armored soldiers were useless in front of the revolver.

Ye Buseng successfully completed the battlefield reconnaissance mission with his excellent weapons and sent all the Qing army's intelligence back to the Ming army's camp. However, the Qing army had too many scouts and whistle cavalry, and the Ming army could not completely block the battlefield intelligence. The Qing army also knew how many troops the Ming army had. Oboi knew where the Ming army was at this time.

"The Ming dog cavalry is 5,000, the infantry artillery is 25,000, the navy is 5,000, and the auxiliary soldiers are 35,000, with a total of 70,000 troops. Among them, there are only 30,000 soldiers; and our army is 110,000, all of which are war soldiers, 110,000 to 30,000, aren't it easy to take them down?" Oboi laughed.

At this time, the Eight Banners soldiers were not the Eight Banners soldiers that had already rotted two hundred years later. At this time, the Eight Banners soldiers were still very powerful. Moreover, the 50,000 Fengtai Green Camp soldiers brought out by Oboi were also elite troops. Therefore, Oboi felt that he could completely defeat the Ming army. Once the Ming army was defeated, the Ming army with a much smaller number of cavalry would not be able to escape. The Qing army could follow behind and cover up the killing, and the Ming army would inevitably suffer heavy losses and severe injuries.

At this time, the Ming army had arrived at the Bali Bridge in Tongzhou. When they learned that Obai personally led an 110,000 army to find him to fight, Zhao Peng ordered the army to stop at Bali Bridge for the time being, but to wait in an open space three miles east of Bali Bridge.

At 7:00 a.m. on the fifth day of the fourth month of the sixth year of Shaowu, the decisive battle between the most elite troops of the Ming and Qing dynasties at Baliqiao began.

Seeing the Ming army's formation split, Obai sneered: "Minggou formation was in the field, just to use firearms to deal with our cavalry! We also have firearms. We also passed our order to order the Eight Banners Han Army Wuzhenchao Ha soldiers and Green Camp soldiers to attack the Ming Gou formation. Then, once the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners Cavalry, our cavalry immediately launched an rush to attack!"

With Oboi's order, the 30,000 Eight Banners Han Army and 50,000 Green Camp soldiers split into sixteen formations of 5,000 people, divided into three directions, and rushed towards the Ming army formation in turn.

"Qinggou is very stunning to eat our army in one bite!" Zhao Peng sneered, "Order the artillery team and prepare to open fire!"

"Boom boom boom" The twelve-pound field artillery of the Ming army was the first to fire. The whistling shells swept through the low altitude and fell into the Qing army's formation in front. Each of the powerful twelve-pound shells could penetrate the Qing army's formation, penetrate from beginning to end. The shells pulled out crooked flesh and blood alleys among the Qing army's crowd in the Green Camp.

Each twelve-pound shell could knock down more than twenty Qing soldiers, and some shells even took more than thirty lives.

The twelve-pound field gunners who had fired began to load ammunition nervously, and at the same time, the six-pound gun was ready for firing.

"Boom Boom Boom" behind the Qing army formation opposite, the red cannons of the Eight Banners Han Army also opened fire, but the red cannons of the Qing army were only equivalent to between eight-pound cannons and nine-pound cannons, and the range was obviously not as good as the twelve-pound cannons of the Ming army.

In the documents at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the so-called red-brand cannons flew for dozens of miles, which were blown by literati. In fact, the maximum range of the red-brand cannons on both sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties was only three miles, and the effective range was between 1:5 and two miles. The twelve-pound cannons of the Ming army had an effective range of three miles, and the maximum range could reach five miles.

Although the red-air artillery of the Qing Eight Banners Han Army was about three miles away from the Ming army and the Ming army's cannon was within the maximum range of the Qing army, the shells had no accurate lead after the red-air artillery was fired three miles away.

Therefore, the Qing army's red artillery could not reach the Ming army's artillery positions at all, and the Ming army's gunners could calmly bombard the Qing army's infantry phalanx, and each round of artillery could carry thousands of lives.

"Sir, this is not a way to fight!" Qing army general Zhang Tianlu knelt in front of Obai, "I'm afraid that our infantry will be bombarded before they get close to Minggou."
