**********************************************
Originally, Huang Taiji planned to set up a pocket formation in the Qianshan area. King Sanshun's infantry and artillery used trenches to block the advance of Man Ming's main force from the front.
There are two rivers on the west side, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army are ambushing them. On the east side, there are 200,000 iron chaodu lurking in the Qianshan area, ready to attack at any time.
The demon boy intended to attack King Sanshun's headquarters, so he was faced with a pincer attack from both sides. Coupled with fighting in rainy weather, the power of Man Ming's firearms dropped sharply, which was extremely beneficial to the Qing King's division.
But when it came to the actual battle, the situation was completely different. The Man Ming troops gave up the frontal attack, quickly and actively reduced the defense, and switched from offense to defense, so that all the Qing troops could only forcefully charge into the formation.
The situation on Haug's side on the south side of the battlefield was very difficult. After losing nearly 10,000 cavalry, the gap still could not be opened for the influx of troops.
However, the large group of infantrymen who came to rescue Mingming had already approached Hauge's headquarters, which forced Hauge to have tens of thousands of cavalry turn around and attack the reinforcements.
After the Japanese troops on the right wing received permission to advance, they had already moved closer to the French and German forces under the orders of Hota Masamori, with a strength of about 100,000.
Leading the charge were the troops of foreign daimyo from all over Japan. Hotta Masamori's move was not only to satisfy these daimyo's desire to make money, but also to use enemy troops to consume the strength of these competitors.
However, the soldiers who attacked first were very happy about this and readily obeyed their orders. If they did not engage in battle with the enemy, they would only receive an "appearance fee" of two taels of silver.
As long as the two sides start fighting, no matter how many Donglu soldiers are killed in the end, each one will cost two hundred taels of silver, and can be exchanged for 20,000 copper coins.
It can be said responsibly that in order to make money, the Japanese army was more interested in fighting the Qing army than the Qing army fighting the Japanese army.
Qing soldiers are commonly known as "two hundred taels" on the Japanese side, which is the price of prey.
In most cases of ashigaru and samurai fighting, what came over was not the enemy soldiers, but two hundred taels of silver!
Holding high the banner of "Eight Banners Great Bodhisattva" and shouting the heroic words of serving the country for seven lives, they moved slowly in a step formation.
One hundred thousand Japanese troops fought against 10,000 Qing troops, Tie Chaodu, and there was no sign of being unable to parry or even collapse.
The Japanese army's starting point was the "three-stage attack", and the execution effect was better than that of most Ming armies.
As long as the generals did not order to fire, the Japanese ashigaru could endure it until the opponent rushed within twenty steps, and then gave it a fatal blow.
In the past, the armor worn by the ashigaru was all wooden armor or bamboo armor, so there was a lot of psychological pressure when facing the enemy cavalry assault.
Now that they have replaced the standard plate armor, the opponent's arrows cannot penetrate the chest, and the Ashigaru can tolerate it until they are at close range before firing.
The samurai are located on both sides of the queue or behind the tank turret, so that they can easily direct the ashigaru to fire at the enemy with iron cannons.
The spear ashigaru was initially prepared in the back row. After leading the enemy's horse to approach, he moved to the front row to prepare to assassinate the enemy's horse.
After years of actual combat training and local training, the Japanese army's various departments will not show any signs of chaos when fighting against the Qing cavalry.
Even in the face of the mass charge of the Qing heavy cavalry, they were still implementing their own three-stage attack tactics in an orderly manner.
Coupled with the assistance of a large number of small Folang machines, the Menggu cavalry who came to charge fell one row after another in the hail of bullets.
Some of the Menggu cavalry also wanted to outflank the enemy from the side, but Hota Masamori ordered a second batch of 100,000 people to withstand the opponent's attack from the side.
Since arriving in the Ming Dynasty last autumn, the Japanese army has not returned. Hota Masamori has as many as 450,000 strong soldiers in his hands, and he is not afraid of the Qing army coming to attack.
To be precise, they were afraid that the opponent would not come. The Japanese army was mainly infantry, and their mobility was not at the same level as that of cavalry. They could only engage in defensive operations or positional warfare.
The charge of the Qing army is exactly what Hotta Masamori and his troops are interested in. No matter how many come, we must try our best to turn them into tangible results!
Is it a victory that cannot be fulfilled?
For example, if an enemy soldier is broken into pieces by cannonballs and turns into hundreds of pieces, it will definitely not be exchanged for silver.
There were quite a lot of Menggu cavalry coming to the area, but when they saw more barbarian soldiers than their own cattle and sheep, they couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The barbarians in front of them were hiding in the mountains and plains, not to mention that there would be dozens of phalanx infantry behind them.
If he wasn't dazzled, it would be that there were too many barbarians, too many to cut down with a machete.
At this time, Hota Masamori mobilized the third batch of 100,000 troops to replace Dai Dairen and began to advance toward the southeast.
Hota Masamori believed that it was enough to leave 150,000 troops to defend the formation, and the remaining 300,000 troops could go forward to meet the enemy.
Hauge sent more than 10,000 ancient meng cavalry to fight, and the other party directly sent out hundreds of thousands of people to fight. This scene was too embarrassing...
Although the Menggu cavalry have become invulnerable iron chaodu, they cannot withstand the blow of artillery shells, let alone one against ten.
The iron cannon ashigaru of the Japanese army were all used with the long spear ashigaru, not to mention the samurai holding bows and arrows.
Coupled with the assistance of tanks, it is easy to avoid being overwhelmed or even causing a large-scale collapse.
In this case, the Menggu cavalry's offensive line was like the scimitars in their hands.
When they rushed to the front of the Japanese army's formation, they were already at the end of their strength, and finally they drew an arc and were defeated.
Even so, the number of casualties was still close to 5,000, and almost half of the troops were lost.
It's not that the Menggu cavalry were afraid of the enemy and were timid and ignored Hauge's orders.
The dog Tatars in front of them had many troops, fierce firepower, and thick armor. Their arrows were ineffective and they could only charge hard.
Even if all the troops rush over, the opponent will not be severely injured by the rush. Instead, the whole army will be annihilated. How can we fight in this battle?
After hearing that the attack was unsuccessful, Hauge immediately gathered more Tie Chaodu, with a strength of 15,000, and quickly launched a second attack.
Once the barbarian reinforcements are allowed to join the defenders in the formation, doesn't it mean that all the previous efforts of the Qing Dynasty King's Division have been in vain?
While Haoge urged everyone to rush into the formation desperately, he also ordered the Menggu cavalry to block the dog barbarians in the rear to come for reinforcements.
Seeing the enemy troops of different colors on the opposite side, Hauge cursed in his heart. He didn't know where the devil boy found these people.
They were said to be hired Japanese soldiers, but did the Japanese have so many capable soldiers?
Was the Japanese country so willing to help Man Ming attack the Qing Dynasty?
This is really unreasonable!
The more Haug thought about it, the angrier he became. As long as he could defeat the enemy in front of him and capture the Dog Prince alive, he would eat him alive, skin and cramps!
Although the dog prince has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Hauge refused to admit it. How could there be two emperors in Mingming?
As long as he can capture the Dog Prince, he will not be able to become the Dog Emperor!
After the Qing Dynasty royal division entered the pass, they went south to capture the dog emperor Chongzhen!
By this time, the rain had stopped and the sky was gradually clearing up, but the battlefield was still filled with shouts of death and the sounds of gunfire.
The strength of the Japanese army's advancing force was twenty times that of the Qing army's attacking force. Due to the terrain of the battlefield, all the troops were arrayed, and some of them could not be placed.
The generals of various ministries took advantage of the situation and asked the samurai to change the iron cannon ashigaru under their command from three-stage attack to six-stage attack, or even nine-stage attack.
In this way, the firepower continuity of the Japanese iron artillery units was greatly improved, and each iron artillery ashigaru had relatively ample reloading time.
The Japanese army's advance tactics were just eight words - you retreat, I advance & you advance, I stop!
Once it is discovered that the enemy cavalry has returned, all units immediately stop advancing and line up on the spot to meet the enemy.
From the moment they left the main formation to the start of the second battle between the two sides, the formations of the various Japanese troops barely changed.
Occasionally, there were gaps that were bitten by enemy cavalry, but they were quickly filled by the following ashigaru, so that the front line formation was always full.
When the Menggu cavalry who had participated in the battle rushed over again, they found that there seemed to be more dog barbarians on the opposite side than before, and they couldn't help but feel sad.
There are more and more barbarians. Even if our warriors can defeat ten of them one by one, they will eventually be eaten by the remaining barbarians!
But most of the Menggu cavalry still had a fluke and herd mentality, thinking that if they could charge down this time, wouldn't they have made a great contribution and be able to go back and receive the reward?
After a few minutes, they put their previous fantasies behind them.
On the battlefield under heavy artillery fire, he had no time to worry about calling for help and his dead companions, so he turned around and ran away madly.
The Qing army invested a large number of troops, but the Japanese army invested much more people than the Qing army.
Many Menggu cavalrymen who rushed over were intimidated by the sight of it, which was comparable to an endless herd of sheep.
The opponents are not lambs to be slaughtered, but barbarians with fire-breathing weapons in their hands.
When the Menggu cavalry charges, they will form a wide front and will not attack in columns.
In that case, once the front team is overturned, it will inevitably become an obstacle to the subsequent charge.
Attacking in a horizontal formation made it easier for the Japanese Ashigaru troops to fire, and also allowed the 100,000 people who came up later to eat a lot of meat.
The Menggu cavalry of the Khalkha tribe participated in a similar battle for the first time. They had insufficient understanding of the Ming army and their impressions were still from decades ago.
Although Huang Taiji has already sent people to introduce relevant knowledge to these newly admitted cavalry, many Khalkha cavalry are still unwilling to believe such legendary facts out of pride and prejudice.
It was only on the battlefield that I suddenly realized it, but it was too late. This time I learned an unforgettable lesson.
The Qing cavalry group was hit by the opponent's violent storm, and its strength was reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This attack cost more casualties than the previous one, and the results were naturally even worse.
The Menggu cavalry who were able to rush to the front of the Japanese army were blocked by the samurai and the spear ashigaru.
The front line of defense of the Japanese army was only touched by more than a thousand enemy cavalry, and no large-scale chaos occurred.
There were quite a few thousand menggu cavalry, but there were no less than 10,000 to 20,000 Japanese troops in front of them.
This is equivalent to a Menggu cavalry having to deal with a dozen Japanese soldiers. The opponents also have various weapons and are completely unable to cope with them.
Most of the cavalry were killed by the opponent in the open space between the tanks, and those who rushed into the formation were even less likely to escape and survive.
Judging from the results and the situation, the attack launched by Haug is only of symbolic significance...
In fact, after wiping out more than 10,000 enemy heavy cavalry, the Japanese army was less than fifty steps away from the French and German forces.
It can be said that the rescue was successful, because Hauge could not continue to attack despite the danger of being attacked from both sides.
Having lost more than 20,000 iron crossings, Hauge Company no longer had the strength to die with the opponent, so it could only grit its teeth and order the withdrawal of troops.
Hauge originally wanted to fight to the end with Gou Manzi, but the lesson he learned from lighting up the Zhenglan flag last time was still vivid in his mind. He could not make the same mistake again, so he had to calm down.
Prior to this, Abate and Dudu's troops had been attacked from two sides. After losing nearly 20,000 troops, they were forced to flee in panic.
As soon as the south and west sides withdrew, the Qing troops on the east and north sides later gave up the attack in order to avoid becoming the primary target of the Man Ming army.
After the war, after counting, the number of Donglu heavy cavalry who were killed by the French and German forces in the light formation exceeded 3,000.
Since all units of the Ming Dynasty's combined forces were heavily protected and equipped with a variety of weapons, even if a small number of Donglu heavy cavalry could rush into the formation, it would be difficult to cause great damage to the defenders.
The enemy cavalry who were killed can only be regarded as a successful charge of the formation, but cannot be regarded as a breach, because the main force on the periphery cannot also rush into the formation.
The heavy cavalry wanted to continue their old trick and dragged the tank with ropes.
In this regard, a certain new emperor also had a countermeasure, which was to let the tank soldiers give priority to bombarding the dog Tatars who tried to drag their tanks.
No tank soldier wants his tank to be dragged out by dog Tatars, which would mean a narrow escape from death.
Therefore, on the battlefield, in order to save their lives, tank soldiers will desperately kill the dog Tatars who throw ropes at them.
About 86,000 dog Tatars were killed during this campaign, setting a historical record since the new emperor took charge of the country.
Among them, there are about 71,000 heavy cavalry and about 14,000 armored infantry, but there are no armored slaves.
The way to distinguish between dog Tatar cavalry and infantry is very simple. The cavalry has horses to ride on, and their armor is thicker than that of the infantry.
The infantry ran on two legs, and the weight of their armor was the same as that of the cavalry. They ran for three to five miles, and their physical strength was exhausted before they could rush over.
Except for a few generals, captains and lightly wounded Tatars who were kept for other purposes, there was no need to take the seriously wounded back.
Counting the living people, that means more than 87,000 people, nearly 88,000 people, which is an auspicious number.
After taking photos as a souvenir, a certain new emperor ordered to evacuate the battlefield before sunset to prevent the army from being infected by the corpse plague.
Leave the digging of the pit to Huang Taiji, these are all his bastards.
If he is responsible for killing it, he will be responsible for burying it!
After interrogating the captured dog Tatars one by one, they were all given to Zheng Zhilong as a gift in return for paying tribute to Spanish prisoners of war.
It is said that Shuotuo's troops performed well in the attack on Manila, and the lost troops could just be replaced with these people.
The French and German forces suffered heavy casualties due to the siege.
The number of people who died on the spot or due to injuries reached nearly 1,300, and more than 10,000 people were injured and needed medical treatment.
Although the Japanese army was attacked twice by enemy cavalry, less than 800 people died in the battle and 7,000 were injured.
A total of 500 people from the left-wing Ming army were killed in the battle, and more than 8,000 were injured.
In total, more than 2,700 people died in the battle and 28,000 were injured.
