Whether we can surround Huang Taiji depends on tonight! "
At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng also held a military meeting in Nalin City. In the government office lobby where you don't know where to go on the roof, and you can look up at the stars and the moon when you look up, senior generals such as Lu Xiangsheng, Huang Degong, Wu Sangui, Hou Gongji, etc. stood in a circle around the map table.
Wu Sangui, a member of the left army in front of the tent, said: "Huang Taiji did not take any advantage during the day, but he did not suffer a big loss... He must still have the illusion of defeating us. But he must not dare to fight us desperately. His method must be to defeat us. So there will definitely be a night battle tonight, and we must use tonight to complete the siege of Huang Taiji's headquarters!
Because after dawn tomorrow, the soldiers from Huangtai Jisa's forward camp will definitely bring him news that Hong Zhijun and Sun Zongbing are approaching Nalin City. If we can't surround Huang Taiji before then, he will run away. "
If there is any advantage that Dajin has over the armies in front of the Ming army, it is undoubtedly the forward battalion's reconnaissance capabilities.
Scouts are always the king of soldiers, and they cannot be developed in just a few years. Then Jin has at least thousands of white-armored soldiers who have been trained in the white mountains and black waters and have been tempered in battles... As long as Huang Taiji is willing to use them and is willing to bear the losses of being shot with black guns, the Ming army will not be able to defeat them. Later Jin Jun became blind.
But now is the time when life is at stake. No matter how reluctant Huang Taiji is, he has to grit his teeth and spend his money to fight.
So this time, all the white-armored soldiers scattered around Nalin City were the forward battalion - this is the most powerful and core combat force of Houjin!
Huang Degong, deputy general of the left army and horse army in front of the tent, took over Wu Sangui's topic, "Mr. Lu, uncle, you give me 2 cavalry regiments and 1,340 grenadiers, and 2 gun camps. I will take care of the artillery. Get behind the slave thieves, so that you can keep Huang Taiji!"
To keep Huang Taiji, you have to rely on cannons! Relying on 8 6-pound cannons and 12 24-pound black pot cannons that can move quickly on the battlefield.
As long as these artillery and cavalry are moved behind Huang Taiji, it will not be so easy for Huang Taiji to run away.
"Bring more carbines and caltrops... you have to guard against Huang Taiji's dog jumping over the wall and charging with cavalry!" Hou Gongji, deputy general of the left army infantry in front of the tent, said, "The probability of the slave thieves bluffing tonight is relatively high. There is no need for carbines or caltrops on the front."
"That's great!" Huang Degong smiled, "If you stop the cavalry, scatter the caltrops, plus 8 6-pound cannons, 12 3-pound cannons and 12 24-pound black pot cannons... Huang Taiji can even If he can break out, he will definitely suffer heavy losses, and his sweat is almost over!"
Wu Sangui smiled: "Not just sweating profusely to the end? You can be a profuse sweater but not an official. If you can't continue, you can still beg for your bones and return to your hometown for retirement."
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he frowned: "That's right! Huang Taiji will definitely jump over the wall... How many people does he have? 60,000? 70,000? We only have 25,000! And we still have to demolish it How many points are needed? If Huang Taiji is really anxious and concentrates his troops to break the siege, can we stop it?"
This is indeed a problem!
But Wu Sangui, Hei Wentao, and He Daming have also made repeated calculations on their fingers...The number of soldiers here in Lincheng cannot be many, there must be 50,000, no, 40,000, Huang Taiji will come Neither will come!
If he doesn't come, how can you make meritorious deeds? Is it possible to really kill Shenyang? This is much more difficult than using 25,000 people to besiege Huangtaiji in Nalin City, and it is impossible to implement it in the short term... Why do you have to prepare an army of 150,000-200,000 to attack Shenyang, right? The troops must be divided into several routes, and cities must be occupied along the way to restore the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Is it enough to have such a small number of troops? Is it possible to really bring tens of thousands of people to "go together"?
Moreover, Liaodong is so large and sparsely populated, it is difficult to defeat the enemy with food. If you want to increase the insurance factor, you have to prepare rations for an army of 200,000 for more than a year... Taking into account the losses during transportation, you have to prepare at least one to two million dan!
By the way, there’s also horse stuff! One horse is worth five people!
In addition, if the Ming Dynasty really wants to return to Liaodong, it will inevitably have to open fields again... If Zhu Youjian is asked to do this kind of thing, it will not be profitable, and he will have to invest food and money!
Therefore, we still have to prepare well for the "Five Years of Ping Liao", and we will not be able to do our best for the time being.
The contribution that can be made now is Huang Taiji and the 60,000 to 70,000 troops he brought... These are all real contributions!
"It is indeed difficult to stop!" Wu Sangui pondered for a while and had to admit this fact. The youth army in front of the tent was indeed very strong, but it was not strong enough to crush the Eight Banners of Manchuria.
"Since it's difficult to block," Lu Xiangsheng gritted his teeth and said with a serious face, "then we have to modify our strategy. After Deputy General Huang completes his detour, we will launch a fierce attack on Huang Taiji... but we must surround him. Three ques and one, open a way for him to survive in the west!"
"Okay!" Wu Sangui nodded, "I'll change the strategy right now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the rumbling sound of artillery came from the northeast... It was the Cao Bianjiao tribe that had inserted into the left flank of the Later Jin Army and was engaged in an artillery battle with the Later Jin Army.
"It was a lively fight," Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Huang Degong, "Vice General Huang... your chance has come! Later I will have people use rocket launchers to bombard the right wing of the Jin army to cover your actions. "
...
The sudden fire on the left flank of the Hou Jin Army was because the Wu Zhenha Chao Battalion of the Hou Jin Army had finally set up their cowhide cannons and could "blow" a few shots hard.
Under the cover of the cowhide cannon, the men and horses with the Zhenglan and Zhenghong flags sent by Abatai, who had taken over the siege of Cao Bianjiao's tribe, began to take turns to attack the Ming army who had already set up the Queyue Formation with their backs against the water, launching wave after wave of attacks. The onslaught of waves.
Cao Bianjiao did not show weakness, and immediately had 12 3-pound cannons pushed out to fight with the Hou Jin army. Moreover, he also took advantage of the short rest time this evening (Abatai was actually taking over the combat operations) to adjust his defenses. Not only did he set up the Moon Quenching Formation with his back against the water, but he also put out the anti-horse rifles and had people pile them up. Sandbags, used to cover one's own soldiers.
The two sides were going back and forth on this front line, and the fight was lively.
At the same time, on the frontal battlefield commanded by Huang Taiji, the wheel harassment battle also began before dark. Houjin's cavalry, with three or four thousand flags as a formation, began round after round of cavalry attacks against the dozen or so spear formations of the Ming army...
Just when the situation seemed to be favorable to the Hou Jin Army, the scene that frightened Huang Taiji the most suddenly appeared after dark.
In the sky, dozens of flames shot up from the ground, then roared towards the right-wing position of the Jin Army, and then either exploded in the air, or slammed into the ground, exploding a fireball on the ground.
On the position on the right flank of the Hou Jin Army, flames suddenly burst into the sky again, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
"Great Khan, the Ming army's sky-thunder arrows are striking the battle line with the red flag!"
In fact, there was no need for Tan Tai to remind Huang Taiji to know that the red flag controlled by the two brothers Yue Tuo and Shuo Tuo was exploding!
However, Huang Taiji has known for a long time that the power of rocket explosions is really limited, but it just looks scary.
"It doesn't matter..." Huang Taiji was in a very good mood at this time, "The Southern Army is bluffing and wants us to turn our attention to the right wing, but I won't be fooled!"
How can Dahan be so easily deceived? This Great Khan is Sai Zhuge!
"Great Khan!" Tan Tai flattered him sincerely.
Huang Taiji smiled: "It's just a trick that even a three-year-old knows. How could you fool me?"
And just when Huang Taiji was full of confidence, a series of fierce night encounters were unfolding between the several thousand Ming Army roundabout troops led by Huang Deqiang and the guard troops of the Hou Jin Army!
The opportunity for the Hou Jin army to block the Ming army's roundabout troops was fleeting. Huang Degong's thousands of elite cavalrymen had already passed the left side of the Hou Jin army carrying cannons and went around to the back of the Hou Jin army!
Huang Taiji, you have been surrounded by tomorrow's soldiers!
