The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 469 Regulations of the Qing Army

Luckard smiled coldly, "Hong Chengchou is afraid of these Nikans, but I love the descendants of Xinjueluo but treat them like insects and ants!
"Before, they slipped too fast, and with the help of boats and boats, I couldn't catch them for a while. Now they are so rampant that they spread out in Jiangning, and they are seeking their own death.

"The imperial court has dismantled more than 300 warships from the Zheng Zhilong Navy and headed southward. They will soon arrive in Chongming and block the mouth of the Yangtze River. When I lead the army to defeat the Nikan troops, they will no longer be able to escape by boat. After this battle , Nan Ming is finished!"

Seeing his description like this, the herald recalled Hong Chengchou's order, and was about to say something more, when he saw an officer running over out of breath, slapped Luck Dehun, and said joyfully, "Master, cannon! Cannon transport!" coming!"

"Cannon? What cannon?"

"Master, have you forgotten?" the officer hurriedly said, "It is the hexagonal cannon mentioned by Mr. Cai, the censor of the capital."

"Really?!" Luck Dehun immediately remembered, and was immediately overjoyed.

When Cai Shiying said that the Yi people surnamed Tang had created a very powerful cannon with a hexagonal muzzle, which could shoot four miles away and had amazing accuracy, he still didn't believe it.

"Back to the master, the cannon is in the north of the city, and there are sixty gunners dispatched by the Beijing camp. It is said that this cannon is extremely difficult to cast, Master Cai ordered the craftsmen to rush to make it day and night, and it was hard to cast four of them, and they were sent over at night. It arrived in Tongzhou a few days ago, because I was worried about encountering Nanman warships, I had to be extremely careful, and first sent people pretending to be fishing boats to watch around Zhenjiang, and then I had to cross the river to transport them today."

"Okay!" Luke Dehun looked at the herald sent by Hong Chengchou and said proudly, "With these four sharp weapons, I can take the head of the Nanman from four miles away!"

He looked at Dasu again, "There are also elites from the Beijing camp sent by the Ninth Prince, plus my new firearms training battalion, using them to deal with [-] southern barbarians is like killing chickens with a sledgehammer."

He flicked the cloak behind him, and said to Babutai: "Send the order, beat the drums and raise the tent!"

"Whoo!"

A moment later, a group of Yingjian military officers gathered in the Jiangyin camp of Le Kede Hun.

Luck Dehun looked around at the crowd, but first pointed to Zhang Tianlu, "Zhang Zongbing, I order you to lead 1 troops to the right side of the army and walk close to the river. Keep an eye on the river. If there are Nanmans from the Yangtze River Land on the shore, and you will lead your army to strangle immediately!"

Walk close to the river?Zhang Tianlu was taken aback. In this way, he would be far away from the main force of the Chinese army, and he would be the last one to arrive at the battlefield when the decisive battle came, but how would he gain military exploits? !

Speaking of which, he should be controlled by Hong Chengchou, and he is not under Le Kedehun at all, and this time he just happened to be in Jiangyin.But Luck Dehun is the clan's relative Baylor, and he didn't dare to contradict casually in front of everyone in the tent, he could only reluctantly cup his hands and say: "The last general...takes orders."

Luc Dehun nodded in satisfaction, and then ordered Bu Congshan: "General Bu, I order you to lead your troops and the rest of the Hui army to follow the main army to help defend."

What should be cut off during this active attack?Bu Congshan knew in his heart that this was a deliberate move to separate the Green Battalion soldiers in order to prevent military merits from being divided.He didn't think he was disobedient, and he cupped his hands and said, "The final general will obey the order."

"Lu Shiyang, I ordered you to lead your troops as the former army, and immediately set out to go ahead." After all, Lu Shiyang was Hong Chengchou's direct descendant, and Le Ke Dehun still saved some face for it.But the so-called former army is mostly the first batch of cannon fodder to rush forward to die.

"The order will be followed."

Only then did Luck Dehun begin to arrange for his own people. Babutai led the Zhenghong Banner Firearms Battalion with more than [-] men as the main force of the Chinese army. The right wing of the Beijing camp accompanied them.

After completing the deployment of the army, Leket stood up and waved his hands: "Send my military order, and the army will immediately break out of the camp and march westward to wipe out the Nanming rebel army under the city of Jiangning.

"When this battle is over, all of you will follow me to the south and go straight to Fujian!"

All the captive generals were overjoyed when they heard the words, and said in unison: "The last general is willing to go through fire and water for the great general!"

……

After five days in a row, Luck Dehun's nearly [-] troops arrived near Zhenjiang.

During this period, Hong Chengchou kept sending people to urge him, but Luck Dehun was unmoved, and his daily march never exceeded forty miles.

It's not that he didn't want to go fast, because he carried a lot of chariots and artillery in his army, and he was dragged down by these heavy and slow things, so he couldn't be faster.Secondly, he was careful and prepared all the way, and sent people to repeatedly check all possible ambush places. He would rather wait with the brigade first, and make sure there is no danger before leaving.

It should be said that although Luke Dehun is arrogant, he is also somewhat capable, otherwise it would be impossible to become a general at the age of 27 or [-], and lead the main force of the Qing army to fight everywhere.

The Qing army clearly stipulated that every ox should be equipped with twelve chariots, that is, four chariots for 100 people. In some cases, it even required that "if you encounter an enemy without a chariot, do not go out to battle."The tactic of pairing the chariot with elite infantry has helped Houjin defeat the Ming army several times.

Although since the Qing army entered the customs, many captive generals did not care much about the regulations on carrying chariots because of the deteriorating combat effectiveness of the Ming army, but Luck Dehun was an "academic school" in the Qing army and strictly abided by the rules left by his ancestors. Tactical provisions.

In fact, he had already had a general understanding of the battle of Shanguan after passing through Fujian's inside line.Unlike other Jianlu military officers, he firmly believed that the defeat of the Boluo Conquest to the South was all due to the cutting off of the food road by underestimating the enemy.He believed that the Qing army still had a good chance in the First World War at Shanguan, but Azig ignored the combat rules and only brought more than a hundred chariots into battle. In the end, he suffered heavy casualties under Nikan's volley of gunfire.

Therefore, before the Luke Dehun people arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, they ordered the Nanjing Armament Bureau to build nearly a thousand chariots of different sizes for him!Moreover, he spared no expense on this batch of chariots, wrapping them in layers of cowhide and iron, even if the eleven-dollar blunderbuss could not shoot through them at thirty paces away.

Using such a car roof at the front, followed by the infantry, will surely make the Ming army's firecrackers useless.

When marching, sending a small team of cavalry to travel more than ten or twenty miles to investigate is also a regulation that existed before the Qing army entered the customs.

At that time, the Jin army was very poor, and they had to rely on looting to replenish food and grass during battles, so they had the habit of sending cavalry squads of 50 to [-] people to go out to grab food from time to time.Because these looting teams ran so far, they often accidentally detected the movements of the Ming army.

Although the Qing army's food and grass supplies were already abundant, they still kept this "good habit".

Therefore, Luck Dehun also sent out more than a dozen such investigation teams as usual, and searched every corner, but found no sign of an ambush by the Ming army.

……

"Yu Yongshou, how far is it from Nanjing?" Zhang Tianlu raised the reins and turned around to ask.

"Going back to the general, Jurong County is ahead, and Jiangning is seventy or eighty miles away."

Zhang Tianlu nodded and thought for a while, then called Yongshou to him, and said in a low voice: "Send someone to order Bu Congshan to lead his cavalry to join me overnight!"
