The foolish battle of "three ignorances" cannot be fought easily, and Huang Taiji will not fight such a battle! His dearest Khan Amma and military instructor Nurhachi never taught him...
The ability of Huang Taiji and Amanurhaci to fight is based on knowing oneself and the enemy. Houjin not only knows themselves and the enemy strategically, but at the tactical level, they can also use the white armor soldiers and the "special forces" of the forward battalion to know themselves and the enemy, so that they can win every battle.
Looking back at Nurhachi's "It doesn't matter which way you come, I will only go one way" in the Battle of Sarhu, you will know that the destiny old Khan has completely mastered Yang Hao's troop deployment!
Otherwise, how could Nurhachi "go all the way"? Where to go? Who to hit first? Who will you hit next? How many troops are needed to quickly defeat the Ming army's troops? If you don't understand these issues, can you go all the way? Not to mention going to die, Nurhaci can’t afford to be hurt even if he throws himself into the air!
In the subsequent years of confrontation between Ming and Jin, Hou Jin always had the advantage of "knowing the enemy" until Ming came out with Zhu Youjian...
Of course, before Zhu Youjian came to power, Hou Jin could not know the enemy on all battlefields. In their confrontation with Dongjiang Town of the Ming Dynasty, they had no way of knowing each other... Dongjiang Town's foundation is on the sea, and both advance and retreat are by sea. Even if Houjin's spies could get to the island, it would be difficult to transmit the information they obtained.
The Dongjiang Army, which marched by sea, could completely avoid Houjin's reconnaissance and search, at least before landing, and the coastline of Liaodong was too long to be guarded against!
This is why Hou Jin is always at a strategic disadvantage in the confrontation with Dongjiang Town...
Later, when Huang Taiji came out of the Battle of Yanshan, Zhu Youjian sacrificed the black spear cavalry copied from Nizi, and used the black spear method to deal with Hou Jin's white-armored elite soldiers, which was a hard poke in Huang Taiji's eyeballs. .
But Huang Taiji is not blind. He can still use Mongolian cannon fodder to carry out reconnaissance and search. Although the effect is worse, it is still better than the "three ignorances".
And Zhu Youjian's cavalry strength also went through a process of growth... Although there is no shortage of horses in the Ming Dynasty now, truly outstanding cavalry have to be picked up from childhood!
Therefore, before the young troops in front of the tent grew up in batches, Zhu Youjian's cavalry in front of the tent could not "blind" Huang Taiji even with the blessing of Lumi gun.
But today, Huang Taiji's main force ran into the first generation of young soldiers who had grown into the youth army in front of the tent!
So Huang Taiji is "blind"!
But Huang Taiji, who is "blind", is still unwilling to fight such a foolish battle... Houjin's capital is so thin! How could Hou Jin throw all his money into it without knowing how many enemies there were, what their formation was, or the composition of the enemy troops?
If he loses miserably, the consequences will be very serious... Even if Hou Jin can recover his strength, he, Tiancong Dahan, can't do it anymore!
Therefore, Huang Taiji's "pressure with the whole army" was just "pressure", rather than launching an attack. Huang Taiji's purpose was just to take advantage of his large number of troops to force the Ming army to withdraw the small number of cavalry in front and the fire rifle soldiers lurking in the grass, and then the two families would face each other and fight.
As long as they can open up and fight, Huang Taiji can take advantage of his strong military strength and large number of cavalry to slowly wear out the Ming army.
This is not a simple matter of using cavalry to overcome footwork. Facing a group of well-trained infantry in formation, even the white-armored soldiers of the Eight Banners did not dare to charge headlessly - do you think their spear formations are made of paper?
In fact, the key to cavalry overcoming infantry is the word "consumption", using the cavalry's tactical initiative to fight a war of attrition with the infantry!
It does not consume life, but consumes physical energy!
The infantry wearing armor and forming a formation consumes physical energy, but the side with the advantage of the cavalry can use wheel harassment tactics, attack in turns, and rest in turns.
One party can rest, but the other party cannot rest, and the spirit is also highly tense...it's hard work and hard work! How much energy and mental energy can you still have if you fight back and forth for ten or twenty battles?
Therefore, as long as Huang Taiji forces his army close to the main formation of the Ming army, he can use the method of consumption in turns to wear down the opponent.
Huang Taiji has 70,000 riders!
3,000 riders are sent out in one burst, and even 20 rounds are not finished!
So after a charge, the cavalry could go back and sleep for a few hours before preparing for the second round of charge... while the Ming army could only carry it!
How many days can a flesh-and-blood body carry it?
But when Huang Taiji was commanding the army to press upward, he forgot how he drove the imperial concubine Wu Liangha out of the camp during the Battle of Yinmaquan!
It’s not that the Eight Banners didn’t work hard, but Ming Dynasty had rockets!
64 rocket launchers from 4 rocket launchers have been placed behind the Ming army's cavalry line! The 64 rockets have been lit with wooden tube fuses and placed on the launcher. The target is the Jin Army brigade advancing slowly 300 steps away!
...
"No! There's a flying sword!"
"Sure! It's thunder..."
Daishan and Saharian, father and son who had not participated in the Battle of Yinmaquan, were both sharp-eyed. They discovered that the Ming army had "released a magic weapon" almost at the same time, and they immediately exclaimed!
It's a flying sword, it's a thunderbolt...it sounds scary!
Huang Taiji hurriedly looked up and saw a sudden blackness in front of his eyes. He was so confused. How could he forget that the Ming army had this trick?
The volley of 64 rockets was still very loud, and suddenly 64 lines of smoke appeared in the originally cloudless sky, extending over the heads of the Jin Army cavalry!
The Houjin cavalry below are not blind, they all know something is wrong! Some of the soldiers who survived the Battle of Yinmaquan immediately panicked. They took out the black cloth that had been prepared and tied it on the horse's face. They shouted loudly: "It's Feitian Lei, it's Feitian Lei." Thunder...this thing can't be carried hard, it will explode. Avoid lightning quickly! Cover your eyes quickly..."
Before they could finish their words, "Flying Swords, Sky Thunder" and so on had already descended on the somewhat confused Houjin Army cavalry group below. Some of them suddenly exploded in the air before they hit the ground, forming huge, very scary fireballs!
In fact, Huang Taiji had studied the "Sky Thunder Sword" after the defeat of Yinmaquan, and he also came up with some ways to deal with it-that is, to cover the horse's eyes. Horses that can go to the battlefield are not afraid of the roar of guns. As long as they don't let them see the fireballs, it won't be a big problem.
As for the people...the great golden heavenly soldiers and the military law are like mountains!
Although there are ways to cover the eyes, chaos is still inevitable! Because Huang Taiji wants to rely on quantity rather than quality trends this time. Therefore, there are many weak soldiers among the 70,000-strong army, and they themselves are afraid when they see the "sky thunder" that keeps falling. Some people were in a hurry and did not tie up the black cloth strips. As a result, the horses were frightened and started to run around.
Of course, even if the war horses controlled by someone were frightened, it would not be a big problem and would not cause Huang Taiji's 70,000-strong army to become a mess.
Moreover, the 70,000 cavalry were spread out widely on the battlefield and were covered by 64 rockets. Only a small part close to the Laoha River belonged to the Zhenghong Banner (Manchu, Mongolian, Han, and Korean troops). After being grouped together) the Golden Cavalry, of course they were the ones who caused chaos.
The central army of Huang Taiji's Houjin army was not on the front line, and of course it was not disturbed by the rockets. When he saw something was wrong with his left wing, he immediately ordered Daishan, the leader of the red flag, and Saharian, Daishan's eldest son. Go and straighten things out quickly. At the same time, the order was issued again: the entire army continues to press upward!
But before his order could be conveyed, another change occurred on the front line. A burst of impassioned singing, accompanied by rumbling war drums, suddenly sounded from behind the right wing of the Ming army's cavalry line.
Huang Taiji vaguely heard: "The wind is rustling and the water is cold. A strong man will never return once he is gone..."
"This is..." Huang Taiji reined in his horse, stood up in the stirrups, and looked towards the place where the singing came from. At first glance, he was shocked again.
I only saw the right wing of the Ming army, with spears like a forest, forming several square formations, slowly advancing towards the somewhat chaotic Zhenghongqi troops!
Will the Ming army use infantry to attack cavalry?
Do they fight like this?
