Ming politicians

The third day of the first month of the 15th year of Chongzhen.

At Yinshi, the [-] army was ready for everything.

The severe cold climate created certain troubles for Jiang Ning. For example, the artillery, the soldiers of the artillery battalion took a lot of effort to remove the ice on the artillery, and carefully wiped the barrel of the artillery with a specially prepared rag to avoid When launching, I encountered a problem.But the severe cold climate also created an excellent opportunity for the Jiangning camp, that is, there were no people around, and the [-] troops gathered in the direction of the right-wing middle banner of Chahar, which was less than ten miles away from Chahar. The scouts of the tribal sergeant, presumably at this time, the sergeant of the Chahar tribe thought it was very safe, and no one would launch an attack at this time.

Su Tiancheng felt very lucky, which meant that God was blessing the Ming Dynasty.

The Mongolian tribe is an important support for the Houjin Dynasty, and also the most important support for Huang Taiji. The Mongolian Eight Banners are an indispensable force for the Houjin Dynasty. The Mongolian Eight Banners were not fully established until the eighth year of Chongzhen. In the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Qing Dynasty was officially established. In the first year of Chongde, the Mongolian Eight Banners became an important force in the later Jin Dynasty, second only to the Manchu Eight Banners, and much more important than the Han Eight Banners.

The main forces of the Eight Banners of Meng come from the five prairie tribes, namely the Horqin tribe, the Chahar tribe, the Khalkha tribe, the "Cha" Han tribe and the Tumote tribe. Among them, the Horqin tribe and the Chahar tribe are the most powerful. Powerful, before the Mongolian Eight Banners were fully regulated, they belonged to the unified leadership of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji. After that, the Mongolian tribes surrendered to Houjin, raised Huang Taiji to establish the Qing Dynasty, and became the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The rich and powerful, as well as the Manchu nobles, are the top existence of the Qing Dynasty.After the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the Mongolian Eight Banners were scattered among the grassland tribes. At this time, the main task of the Meng Eight Banners was to help Huang Taiji stabilize the rule of the grassland.

The establishment of the Mongolian Eight Banners Army.It is exactly the same as the Manchu Eight Banners, but the composition of the troops of each banner is different. There are more or less. There is no such standard as the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners that were established later. The Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners have each Sergeant under the command of Erzhen.No less than 300 people, but the Mongolian Eight Banners are different.Some Niu Luerzhen commanded only about a hundred sergeants, and some Niu Luerzhen commanded nearly a thousand sergeants.

To put it bluntly, the Mongolian Eight Banners determine the number of sergeants according to the strength of each tribe.

The reason why Su Tiancheng decided to completely wipe out the Horqin and Chahar tribes was also because the Mongolian Eight Banners of these two tribes were the most powerful and Huang Taiji's most important reliance. is the most important force.To be able to wipe out the Mongolian Eight Banners in advance is equivalent to cutting off one of Huang Taiji's arms. [

Su Tiancheng was very calm.

Compared with Su Tiancheng, He Renlong, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Li Dingguo and others all seemed a little excited.

The more war he faced, the calmer Su Tiancheng became.This is his habit and the magic weapon for his stability.

There is still an hour before the start of the attack, and all preparations are over.

Time passed by minute by minute.

At the second quarter of Yin time, in the tent of the Chinese army.

He Renlong cupped his fists, knelt on one knee, and saluted Su Tiancheng.

"Marshal, the general and the soldiers are ready, please give orders."

Su Tiancheng nodded, and picked up the command arrow on the table.

"He Renlong, as the vanguard commander, you have a heavy responsibility. This commander hopes that you will take command well. The success or failure of this battle depends on you."

Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo also knelt on one knee.

Su Tiancheng looked at the three of them.

"You act in accordance with General He Renlong's request, and you must not violate it, otherwise, this commander will not forgive you lightly."

At Maoshi, the sky was not yet bright, and the cold wind was blowing. Judging from the weather, it seemed that it was going to snow again, but by this time, the weather had no big impact, and the Jiangning Camp's offensive had already begun.

Li Dingguo led a thousand soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, like a whirlwind, towards the station of the Chahar Right Wing Middle Banner. [

Li Dingguo's task is very heavy. The artillery battalion is still five miles away from the Chahar Right Wing Middle Banner. The best range of the artillery is three miles. Only when the main force of the Central Banner is attracted to the best firing range of the artillery battalion can the task be truly completed. He Renlong sent [-] soldiers to be responsible for attracting the main force of the Central Banner on the right wing of Chahar. The troops of the Chahar Tribe entered the best shooting range of the artillery battalion. The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion must withdraw as quickly as possible. The artillery battalion will start firing within a fixed time. If there were soldiers from the Jiangning battalion, they would be covered by artillery before they could evacuate in time.

This calculated route is an ideal calculated distance. In fact, the real distance will not be so accurate. In other words, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and Ainengqi are responsible for luring the sergeants of the Chahar Right Wing Middle Banner. The actual route that needs to be passed is close to the distance of four miles. Within the range of four miles, it is a huge test for the five thousand Jiangning battalion soldiers, and it is a test of life and death. The soldiers of the Mongolian tribe, the arrows Skills even surpassed the sergeants of the Eight Banners.

Su Tiancheng in the tent of the Chinese army has a face like still water.

It is impossible not to worry. In this battle, the Jiangning Battalion went deep into the grassland and fought without any support from the rear or any reinforcements. This is a huge test. From the several battles that Jiangning Battalion has experienced since its establishment He said that the number of such independent battles is not many. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion have accumulated rich experience in the battles against Xuanzhou, Fuzhou and other places.

The messengers will continuously report the information about the battle ahead, but the central army tent is still ten miles away from the Chahar Right Wing Middle Banner. This is also He Renlong's request. Su Tiancheng cannot rely too much Move forward, so as not to affect the performance of the forward commander.

Qu Qingze didn't have so many scruples, and walked to the door of the Chinese army's tent all the time, urging the messengers to quickly understand the battle situation ahead and report in time.

The moment Li Dingguo led his soldiers into the Chahar Right Wing Middle Banner station, he didn't feel very good.

On the Mongolian grasslands, there are very few cities, including the resident of the Chahar tribe, which is no exception. At most, there are some wooden fences, which enclose many yurts in the middle, indicating that this is the resident of the tribe, surrounded by wooden fences The yurts are also the yurts of the important figures of the tribe. As for the rest of the yurts, they are scattered around on the basis of these yurts.

In winter, the tribes are the most concentrated. Because of the severe cold, it is difficult for a single herdsman to withstand the severe cold. There is a shortage of food and fodder, and the herdsmen must rely on collective strength to survive the cold winter.

In the huge resident, it was quiet, which was too abnormal.

Li Dingguo held up the steel knife, signaling the soldiers to suspend the attack.

Although the horseshoes were covered with cloth towels, there was still a lot of noise when more than a thousand people charged. At this time, the station should not be so quiet. Besides, some people always get up early, so why is it so quiet.

Suddenly, Li Dingguo thought of something, and before he could make a gesture, he roared loudly.

"Brothers, retreat quickly, there is an ambush among us..."

Li Dingguo hadn't finished speaking when he heard a cannon fire, and a rain of arrows flew over. Some soldiers who were caught off guard were shot by bows and arrows. Several soldiers fell off their horses, and they must have died.

Li Dingguo's eyes were red with anxiety. The task of the vanguard is to lure the troops of the Chahar Right Wing Central Banner. If they fall into an ambush and are wiped out by the Mongolian Tartars, it will be a disgrace to the Jiangning Battalion. No matter what the battle achieves Such a victory has cast a shadow over it. This time is not the time to be brave and must run away.

The retreat of the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion was still orderly. The rear army became the whole army, and the front army became the rear army. Many soldiers quickly turned their heads and prepared to withdraw.

It's a pity that the Mongolian Tatars are not vegetarian, so be prepared.

The front and rear fires were lit up, and countless torches were lit.

The vanguard led by Li Dingguo was completely surrounded.

Li Dingguo's lips were almost bleeding from biting. When he charged earlier, why didn't he observe the movement and pay attention to the surrounding situation? What he thought of was meritorious deeds, that is, the army of the Chahar Right Wing Middle Banner was lured out. Why didn't he think of it? , People may also make arrangements.

But Li Dingguo, who was in a hurry, remained calm.

He paid attention to the torches at the front and back.

The torches were somewhat uneven, which showed that the preparations of the Mongolian Tartars were not very sufficient. Li Dongguo had always been suspicious that the Jiangning battalion army had come to the Mongolian grassland. Many tribes in Mongolia knew about this news, but It is impossible to leak the news of which Mongolian tribe will attack first. In other words, many tribes in Mongolia may be prepared, but it is impossible to make targeted preparations.

In other words, it was impossible for the Chahar Right Wing Middle Banner to make the most accurate preparations. Knowing that the Jiangning Battalion was about to attack them, they set up such an ambush and waited for the Jiangning Battalion to enter the encirclement.

In an emergency, thinking of this, Li Dingguo suddenly understood that it was the Chahar Right Wing Central Banner, and he had already made preparations. No matter who came to attack, he might encounter an ambush and encounter the situation in front of him.

This judgment is very critical.

Li Dingguo couldn't care less about other things, and yelled loudly again.

"Brothers, don't panic, let's rush out from the direction we came in, we must rush out, don't look back..."

After yelling these words, Li Dingguo rushed to the front, facing the rain of arrows, and rushed towards the flames in front of him without hesitation. The soldiers around him, even though some people kept falling down with arrows, also rushed over . . .
