Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

On the evening of August 14th, [-]th year of Chongzhen, in the big tent of the Qing army.

Duoduo slapped his thigh and cursed angrily: "I have been with my father Khan since I was 12 years old, and I have never seen such a shameless person. I just know that I can hide behind the cart and shoot, and I have the guts to come out and stand upright." Fight a battle! Wait until tomorrow, find a set of women's clothes and send them to Minggou, humiliate them, and force them to come out of the turtle shell."

Everyone else in the big tent chose to ignore Duduo's words.Fighting is all about showing off your own abilities, and there is no distinction between good and evil in strategies and tactics.As long as it is effective, all methods can be used, and it is not necessarily necessary for the enemy to fight according to their own wishes.But having said that, the Qing army was really aggrieved during the daytime battle today.

Today's Qing army is preparing for a battle with the Runing army. "Battle", as the name suggests, means that the two sides in the battle are like holding a meeting, setting up a battle, and you will see each other's moves one by one, and compete in an upright manner.Unexpectedly, the Runing Army had another wonderful "performance".

If the Runing army feared the battle and shrank in the camp, that would be fine.But the Runing Army went out to fight.But the troops of the Runing Army did not deploy at all. They arranged three barrel formations surrounded by carts on the left, middle and right in front of the troops to cover the group troops following behind, and charged towards the center of the Qing army's large formation. .

The Qing army is not without a way to deal with this kind of huddled troops. After all, the Ming army often used such tactics in the past.To open such an iron barrel formation, there are two methods: far and near: one is to use artillery to tear open the defense of the iron barrel formation, and the troops enter and fight again; With the cart, the troops entered and fought again.

But when the Qing army joined the battle, they found that these two methods were ineffective.The Qing army's artillery did destroy several carts at the beginning, but it was immediately covered by the absolutely superior artillery of the Runing army.Compared with range, compared with speed of fire, compared with quantity, compared with power.The artillery of the Qing army was absolutely inferior, so this artillery battle was a complete failure from the very beginning.

Then the Qing army used the scull cart as a cover to allow the infantry to approach and attack.However, being "rolled" by the artillery of the Runing Army, coupled with the supplementary firepower of firecrackers and rockets, the infantry of the Qing Army could not get close to the carts of the Runing Army at all, so how could they attack?

The Runing army used firearms as a new trick, and the Qing army was helpless.And the Qing army also really understood: the truth that if you fall behind, you will be beaten.

The annoying thing is yet to come.The three big chariot formations of the Runing Army charged forward for nearly five miles, and after being inserted into the middle of the Qing Army, they stopped moving.Instead, the carts are surrounded in a circle to form a car wall.Set up camp in place.It seemed to be provoking the Qing army: "Are you coming to hit me? Are you coming to hit me? Do you dare to come?"

Of course, the generals of the Qing army were not stunned, and they would not be dazzled by the provocations of the Runing army, and they would have a tough battle with huge casualties.However, such contempt for the Qing army made the generals of the Qing army half dead.

That's why Duoduo came up with that bad idea of ​​giving women clothes. Maybe he watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" too much.You can't even tell the difference between fiction and reality.But this also shows that Doduo's mind has indeed been confused by anger.

"Since this Ming dog is shrinking, let's shrink too. We will stay in the camp and defend to the death. Block their way back. I don't believe it. Bijia Mountain was captured by us, and Ming dog's food and grass were all lost. Who would waste it? Who did you pass?" Haug yelled loudly, and then he asked Jierhalang who was sitting beside him, "Prince Zheng! Do you think so?"

Ji Erhalang has always been careful, he is not very willing to express his opinions.But at this critical moment of the Qing army's battle, he still wants to remind: "According to what the captured prisoners said, the Ming army in Songshan didn't have much food, only enough for the whole army for three or four days. But The Ming army on the opposite side has been here for nearly ten days from Songshan. Do they seem to be short of food? Moreover, there is still more than 200 miles away from Ningyuan City. Today, the Ming army has only advanced five Li, with an unhurried look, there should be some food in hand!"

"And I also heard that the famous general on the opposite side is the Runing general Wu Shigong who was evenly matched with Prince Rui in Hejian. He will never be ignorant of military affairs, at least he will not do stupid things like fighting without food. I have also The captives were interrogated for this, and they all said: As soon as General Wu arrived in Liaodong, he bought food from outside and stored it in the army. So if we want to hold a stalemate for a long time, we need to think long-term."

"Then what does Prince Zheng mean to say that Minggou on the opposite side is not short of food?" Hauge asked again.

Ji Erhalang nodded, and said: "My servants also found that all the dead horses along the way had been cut off from the horse's flesh, leaving only a skeleton." Here, but what he wants to express is clear enough.

Duduo, who was on the side, was counting with his fingers, and suddenly he shouted to Jierhalang: "Five miles a day, more than 200 miles, plus the time of fighting with us, is it possible that there are still three people in this army of Ming dogs?" , Four months of food storage? Prince Zheng is not alarmist!"

What Duduo said was very offensive, but what he said was also very reasonable.Based on the number of Runing army carts, there must not be so much food in storage.So Duduo expressed doubts about Jierhalang's judgment.

Jierharang seemed to be deaf to Duduo's question, he lowered his head and said nothing.He didn't want to quarrel with Dodo, because the answer was obvious.Although there are still more than 200 miles away from Ningyuan City, it is impossible for the Qing army to intercept the battle within three or forty miles of Ningyuan City. The general will immediately face the situation of being attacked by two sides.Therefore, the Runing Army does not need so much food.

And all the generals of the Qing army in the tent are also veterans of the battlefield, and they all understand this truth.In fact, even Duoduo knew very well in his heart that he just had a bad mouth, and he would bluff if he liked to pick up soft things.

Seeing the tense atmosphere in the tent, Obai immediately changed the subject: "Masters! I have a few words to say. I really don't know how much food Minggou opposite me has in store, but I estimate that it will last for a month. There is no problem. And now our Qing army is also very tight. We must guard Jinzhou, Songshan, and guard against Minggou from Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, so there are not many troops that can be used here. Add at most the more than 6000 people who arrived two days later, led by King Wuying.” (To be continued..)
