Chapter 356 Goryeo Eight Banners
Great!
When Contemporary Shan led the army of 60,000 Eight Banners to the Chateau, he seemed to be full of energy, but his mood seemed a little heavy.
It's difficult!
Although he led an army of 60,000, he still had no idea. After all, Huang Taiji fell in Jinzhou and now he is going to attack Dafang Fort again. If the Ming army is still pulling barbed wire there, what will happen then?
It's not easy to deal with!
In the past few years, Daishan has been living a uncomfortable life. He was once the crown prince of the Later Jin Dynasty. He was originally only one step away from the Khan throne, but later the Khan throne was still taken away by Huang Taiji. Since Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he was suppressed because of his older throne. He has been idle for many years and does not care about the government.
However, it was precisely because of this that he saved his life. When the Ming army invaded Shengjing, just like in the past, when Huang Taiji went to war, he would go to a farm more than 200 miles away from Shengjing to "hunting". In the past, this was to show Huang Taiji that he had no intention of "colluding with ministers", but this time he escaped.
The Ming army attacked Shengjing, and the inside and outside of Shengjing were slaughtered by him. Faced with this situation, Daishan, who had been idle at home, returned again and followed Huang Taiji to conquer North Korea, and regained military power.
But at the moment, Dai Shan's mood was really heavy. Not only was he worried about taking Fangbao, he was also worried that the 50,000 Korean soldiers under his command would not be able to do anything.
What are the so-called Eight Banners of Goryeo? They are just soldiers who rely on generous salaries to win over, but once there is no salaries, what should I do then?
Moreover, he was not worried about this, he was even more worried that he would not be able to defeat the leader, and Huang Taiji would cure him at that time!
However, despite this, Dai Shan still willingly led his troops to war, not for the Qing Dynasty, but for the sake of his two sons, Yuetuo, who died in Jinan and Shuotuo, Shandong. The Prince De killed his two sons!
Just as Dai Shan was thinking about avenging his son, a horse suddenly came to report that the Ming army team had left the city!
The Ming army has left the city!
No defending the city!
The sudden news was so shocked that Dai Shan didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"The Ming army did not actually defend the city?"
"There will be no fraud!"
"Prince, I feel that the Ming army suddenly abandoned the city and refused to defend it, and there must be a fraud!"
"No, Prince, we have an army of 60,000, so how many of them are? If you don't defend the city, don't you want to die?"
It was almost an instinct, and everyone suspected that the Ming army must have been cheated, otherwise how could the Ming army be so stupid that they gave up their greatest advantage and broke out of the city in one go.
"Can it be because their city has not been built yet, so..."
Before Hanni could finish speaking, Daishan said.
"It doesn't matter if they build it well. Even if they just pull a few barbed wire mesh, it's enough for us to chew for a long time, it's better to be careful. Although it seems that there is no danger to defend, it faces the sea three times. The Ming army is also known for its naval army. If their reinforcements are hidden on the island, it's hard to guarantee that they won't come from the sea when I'm going to launch all the troops. It's better to be cautious."
After Dai Shan said this, everyone immediately agreed. Indeed, this group of Ming troops is different from other Ming troops. Other Ming troops are not afraid of field battles. Moreover, they have naval forces. No one knows whether their naval forces have brought reinforcements from Lushun.
Be careful, there is no big mistake. After all, this group of Ming soldiers is not an ordinary person.
After thinking about it, Dai Shan said.
"Hanni, you will first lead 20,000 troops to meet the Ming army for a while, test their weaknesses and reality, and set up camp on the spot!"
Perhaps it was because the Qing Dynasty suffered too much loss in front of the Pinglu Army, Daishan is now determined to seek stability. Of course, this has a lot to do with his suppression by Huang Taiji for so many years.
Almost the moment the spy brought back the news of Jiannu's division of troops, Mao Chengzhi laughed.
"Brother Li, your move is amazing. How do you know that they will definitely divide the troops?"
"We have limited troops, we don't defend the city, but we will launch all the troops to fight. Anyone who is normal in mind will feel cheated. Now, they are divided into two. As long as we eat the forward, although the rest is hard, at most it will be broken! It will not hurt the muscles and bones."
If it were the generals of the Liaodong Army who heard this here, they would definitely open their eyes widened. More than 10,000 people were facing 20,000 Jiannu, and they would even eat them!
This is simple to dream!
Kymph, it's all about doing it.
"It's okay, we have a good tooth, we can't break it!"
While laughing, Mao Chengzhi looked at the flat paddy fields around him. There was no danger here at all... But, this was also a good battlefield.
A flat horse seems to be safe, but it is most suitable for infantry and artillery maneuvers.
Half an hour later, after both of them discovered each other, both sides began to set up a formation to fight.
"Well, the military formation is quite neat. These Korean soldiers are not as weak as those outsiders say!"
Sitting on the mount, Li Yi observed the Korean soldiers while politely discussing his strengths.
"Although most North Korean soldiers are not brave, they are still brave under Yu Jiannu's command. Be careful of the military!"
He whispered to Xu Zhiyuan beside the general.
Unlike Mao Chengzhi, Li Yi and others, Xu Zhiyuan has had many dealings with the North Koreans.
"North Korean..."
Mao Chengzhi smiled, put down his telescope,
"We will win this battle!"
He pointed to the Korean military formation in the distance, and Mao Chengzhi said.
"Order the artillery to fire the artillery, 2,000 meters, which is exactly the range of the nine-jin field gun!"
Although Jiujin Mountain Howitzer is extremely light, its range is limited, so the Pinglu Army has now begun to use Jiujin Field Cannon as the main cannon of each army. Jiujin Field Cannon accurately projected a distance of 1,500 meters with solid shells at a firing angle of 5°, while it can reach 2,000 meters when the firing angle is 10°. Due to the limitation of the gun frame structure, the maximum elevation angle of the Jiujin Cannon is only about twelve degrees, but the elevation angle of the gun body can be further increased by digging pits and other methods, so its effective range can continue to be improved.
But two thousand meters are enough!
While the gunners were preparing to bombard the battlefield, Hanni, who had just arrived at the battlefield, was also commanding the eight banners of the Goryeo under his command to arrange the formation. The formation was the most ordinary square formation, but unlike in the past, there were shield cars in front of the square formation. If we talk about the Battle of Jinzhou, what was their biggest lesson? The Ming munitions were very sharp and they had to have shield cars.
"After a while, when attacking, let the slaves use shield chariots as walls to block the Ming munitions. The slaves behind them approach a hundred steps, and then use the Folang machine and bird gun to kill the enemy..."
Unlike the Qing army, during the invasion of the Japanese pirates, the Korean soldiers who received the rescue of the Celestial Kingdom learned to use firearms from the Ming army. The Folang machine and bird gun were also equipped with extremely extensive equipment in the Korean army. In the past, the Korean soldiers under the Eight Banners and Hannich were even known for their firearms.
"Sir, wise!" Kim Jae-hee flattered loudly, urged her mount to urge the soldiers under his command to go.
Hannie jumped off his war horse and walked slowly around the coaching flag. After a few hours of march, it would take some time for the slaves to restore their physical strength to their best condition. Taking this opportunity, he could also carefully observe the opponent's formation and find more weaknesses to come out in order to determine the strategy of the attack.
Shield cart, Folang machine, bird gun... In terms of calculation, this battle should be sure to win!
But he had just walked a few steps, suddenly, after many years of fighting, he instinctively felt a certain dangerous aura. When he looked into the distance, he only saw balls of white smoke spraying out from the Ming army.
The Ming army is firing artillery!
This is a few miles away!
He immediately thought of the sharp artillery fire in the Ming army. The emperor had suffered losses in this regard and felt a chill in his heart.
"Protect your master!"
Goshha beside him immediately shouted, and with more than a dozen servants, he surrounded his master, for fear that the shells would fall on his master. Even if they knew that if they really came over, their bodies would not be able to stop the shells.
But even so, this is a manifestation of loyalty. It is better for a servant to show more in front of his master than to not.
However, what is very embarrassing is that the shells did not fly towards them at all, but hit the Qing army's army directly...
