Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1419 Reckless against Reckless (Part [-])
One thing Nurhachi guessed was right, that is, Ma Chengxun was indeed holding back his anger to send troops this time, and he was in the mood of eagerly anticipating a big fight, in order to quell the Battle of Liaobei, he was tricked by Buri Hatu A handful of wrath.

But there is also something Nurhachi didn't expect, that is, he didn't know that Ma Chengxun's fire was back to fire, but he was not dazzled by the anger. He really went deep alone without any preparation, and headed straight for Hetuala.

Ma Chengxun's charge was indeed fierce enough, but he made up his mind to break through ten meetings with all his strength, no matter what traps or tricks you have, I just need to smash them directly and it's over.He remembered Gao Pragmatic's words earlier: In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are meaningless.

Ma Chengxun believed that with the strength of his subordinates, even Nurhachi's entire army would not be able to stop him, not even counting the Qianye He cavalry led by Fei Yingdong.

You know, Kaiyuan is the most important fulcrum of the Ming army in northern Liaoning. Many of the supplies Kaiyuan hoarded were prepared for the pacification of Chahar, and this time Ma Chengxun directly changed all the [-] cavalry under his command.

Now these [-] cavalry are equipped with all iron-clad cavalry-style armor and Wanli Type II bayonet-style cavalry guns. Chengxun asked to rush, so he never carried infantry artillery.

Ma Chengxun thinks that it is not a big problem for him not to bring cannons. The reason is very simple. Even if Li Chengliang's headquarters and Yang Yuan's headquarters have cannons, at least Cao Furong in the middle will definitely bring them, and so will Qi Yourong.

Hetuala is only a Jurchen city, and it has only been newly built for about two years. Although Ma Chengxun has never visited it, but no matter how strong it is, it is impossible to surpass the two cities of Yehe.

Ma Chengxun has seen both Ye He's east and west cities, which are known as the Jurchen city, but in fact, in Daming, they are at most county-level urban waters.According to Ma Chengxun's point of view, in the entire four-way army, there only needs to be one Qi Jin with artillery, and there will be no surprises when this kind of city is bombarded.That being the case, what effect does it have on whether he Ma Shenrong carries a cannon or not?
Ma Chengxun went all the way south, and Nurhachi had already taken action for a long time.

Nurhachi personally led the army, and brought the two generals E Yidu and An Feiyangu to the north to deal with Ma Chengxun; he ordered his younger brother Shuerhaqi to lead his headquarters to the west to delay Cao Yu and Qi Jin.

As for Li Chengliang's headquarters on the south road and Yang Yuan's department on the east road, Nurhachi hardly took any precautions. He just ordered a young general named Shu Mulu Yangguli to lead a Niulu (three hundred) to harass Li Chengliang along the way.

According to Nurhachi's prediction, Li Chengliang would use this as an excuse to immediately reduce his marching speed after being harassed, and began to wait and see the situation on the North Road.During this period, it was the best time for him to defeat Ma Chengxun.

When Ma Chengxun arrived less than [-] miles away from Suke and Suhu River, the [-] Jianzhou main forces led by Nurhachi had just been deployed, and they were blocked on both sides of the narrow part of the river valley.

Facing the iron cavalry of the Ming army who came all the way in silence, even Nurhachi, who had won more victories and lost less in the past few years, couldn't help but gasped, secretly said: Ma Chengxun came so fast!If I was an hour later, and he rushed directly through this narrow opening out of fear, then it would be a lost cause.

Thinking of this, Nurhachi, who has always been brave, couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.An Fei Yanggu beside him even swallowed his mouthful of foam, and said in a low voice: "Big Baylor, this Ming army is extremely powerful. Look...thousands of them came all the way, except for the sound of horseshoes, there was no sound at all."

Friends who have had marching experience, even those who have only engaged in military training in college, know that it is not easy to keep your mouth shut during a long-distance march.

Generally speaking, in this kind of situation, you can still keep your mouth shut and not talk to the people around you. Either the battle situation is urgent and the mood is tense, and no one has the leisure to talk, or the discipline requirements of this army are extremely strict.

Nurhachi already has a lot of experience in battle, and he also understands these two possibilities, but for him, no matter which situation Ma Chengxun's troops are in, it is not good news, and it shows that Ma Chengxun is prepared.

However, no matter how much preparations Ma Chengxun has, Nurhachi is already on the verge of breaking out.

At this moment, Nurhaci and An Feiyangu led ten Niulu and 3000 people to the west of the valley, and E Yidu led ten Niulu and 3000 people to the east of the valley. The Ma Chengxun troops of the Ming army came from the north. After two miles, you will enter the narrow mouth of the valley.

An Fei Yanggu took a deep breath, moved his body, and looked at Nurhachi in a blink of an eye.

Knowing what he meant, Nurhachi nodded and said, "Give the flag to E Yidu, and attack as planned."

An Feiyanggu nodded heavily, with murderous intent in his eyes. Just as he stood up, he heard Nurhachi add another sentence: "One more order, you must see Ma Chengxun himself before launching an attack. You and Eyi are both Bring your own soldiers and take Ma Chengxun straight!"

An Fei Yanggu's heart shuddered, and he nodded vigorously again.He understood the meaning of Nurhachi's supplementary order: the opponent's cavalry seemed to be the elite of the elite. If it was just an ordinary ambush, it would be difficult to beat the opponent out of proportion at once, and it would be even more difficult to cause a collapse.

At this moment, the only simple and effective way to form a breakthrough is to directly attack the enemy general. As long as the enemy general is killed in the fastest time, no matter how elite the enemy army is, it is impossible to fight for a long time. The only way is to retreat.However, retreating troops in a battle has always been the most difficult. If you are not careful, you may collapse, and the army will be defeated like a mountain.

It would be okay if the Ming army that came to suppress this time had only this route, but right now this route is just one of the four armies of the Ming army, and its strength is not very strong. Li Chengliang and Cao Yu are the real ones. main force.

In such a situation, Nurhachi not only needs to win, but also cannot suffer heavy losses, otherwise it is impossible for this battle to continue.Because of this, when Nurhachi saw that Ma Chengxun's troops were abnormally elite, he could only temporarily make some adjustments, hoping to use elite troops to directly capture the enemy's main general and win quickly.

An Fei Yanggu got up, raised a black flag himself and began to signal to E Yidu on the other side of the valley.At this time, Nurhachi's population and troops were still limited, and the Eight Banners system had not yet been established. Although Niu Lu already had one, the flags used by his subordinates were still the earliest black flags.

An Fei Yanggu waved the flag, and the forehead on the opposite side quickly responded with a black flag, and the two sides began to fall into silence again.

The Ming army was getting closer, and Ma Chengxun's location was quickly revealed.As usual, although Ma Chengxun was not the first one to walk in the team, he was still the first group, surrounded by his own soldiers, and at the forefront was a group of scouts.

But this time when going south, Ma Chengxun only used it when he camped overnight. Usually, because the whole army rushed, the speed was too fast, so he didn't have much to do, so he only subconsciously arranged a team in front.

The Jianzhou troops on both sides of the valley all started to stare with bated breath, but at this moment, the Ming army cavalry suddenly jumped out from behind and quickly ran to Ma Chengxun. The knight on the horse seemed to have said something to Ma Chengxun , and pointed to the narrow mouth of the valley ahead.

Nurhachi and An Feiyangu thought at the same time: No!

At this moment, Ma Chengxun didn't seem to want to listen to what the man said, he waved his hand and planned to move on.Nurhachi had just put his heart back into his stomach, but unexpectedly the knight refused to give up. He held Ma Chengxun's rein with one hand, and gestured something more quickly with the other hand, obviously trying to persuade him.

An Fei Yanggu was furious, and said to Nurha Chidao, "This man must be Su Wan Fei Yingdong who recognized the thief as his father!"

Nurhachi nodded heavily, the identity of the other party is not difficult to guess.Even though the hood he was wearing was exactly the same as that of the Ming army, the underclothes inside were Manchurian styles, and the braids behind his head were by no means what people in the Ming Dynasty could have.Among the Ming army at this moment, who can dress up like this, and hold Ma Chengxun's rein and persuade him, who else?

Nurhachi clenched the steel knife in his hand and looked again. Although Ma Chengxun looked a little anxious in the distance, he seemed to have been persuaded by Fei Yingdong. He stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and the horse scouting team in front of the team immediately started to clamp The horse's belly came towards the narrow mouth.

Nurhachi stood up abruptly, and shouted: "The time is running out, do it now!"

An Fei Yanggu jumped up and shouted loudly: "Big Baylor has an order to take the enemy's chief! Warriors of Jianzhou, follow me to make contributions—kill!"

As if they had a tacit understanding, when Nurhachi and Anfei Yanggu launched their actions, the Eyidu on the other side of the valley also erupted with loud shouts of killing. Under the guidance of the black banner, they rushed out of the forest obliquely and went straight to Ma Chengxun left.

The fighting style of the Jianzhou soldiers is very different from the Mongols that Ma Chengxun fought many times.At this time, there were not many cavalry in Jianzhou, and they grew up on infantry, and infantry were divided into two categories, one was those who held swords and shields in close combat, and the other was those who held bows and carried swords.

The former specializes in melee combat, but it is not like the Qi family army. Those who hold knives hold knives and those who hold shields hold shields. Jianzhou is a combination of the two. This type of soldiers is responsible for opening the way with a shield in their left hand, and killing them with a sword in their right hand after approaching. The latter will approach the former first, and when it is within the range of the bow and arrow, it will open the bow and shoot the arrow. If it enters hand-to-hand combat, it will abandon the bow and unload the knife from the back to fight in close quarters.

In other words, if it is said that each soldier in the Qi family army performs his own duties to the extreme, then Nurhachi's Jianzhou soldiers require one person to be able to perform at least two duties.

Of course, this has something to do with the economic strength and population of both parties. Although the Qi family army performs their own duties, but because they are backed by a unified dynasty like the Ming Dynasty, his thousands of elite soldiers can of course specialize in one item, in order to achieve the most professional level. .

Nurhachi can't do this, so he can only give full play to the subjective initiative of people, and use training and bravery to make up for the shortage of population and economy.At this time, the life of the Jurchens in Jianzhou was not rich. For the sufficient food and salary provided by Nurhachi, they could endure such hardships; and for Nurhachi's always generous rewards for victory, they were willing to fight desperately.

Nurhachi's tactic was quite effective before, but he suffered a loss as soon as he played today.

The most protruding parts of the east and west parts happened to bump into the team of scouts who had just been ordered to investigate the narrow mouth of the valley. There were not many scouts, only more than 20, but their lances had been loaded in advance. Someone rushed down the mountain, subconsciously picked up a lance and shot.

The flint mechanism of the Wanli Type II Cavalry Rifle has been slightly improved, and the success rate of firing is much higher than before. This round of free shooting was successfully fired.Although the opponent's sword and shield hand quickly raised the shield to block, all the people who were hit were pierced through the wooden shield, and more than ten people were injured, two of whom were killed on the spot.

Seeing that his own shield couldn't stop the opponent from riding a spear, Nurhachi's heart trembled. The first thought that popped up was not fear, but "it seems that in the future, we must add at least a layer of iron to the shield when fighting against the Ming army", and then thought " I still have to get a Ming army cavalry spear to try the shield and see how thick the iron beard is."

At the same time, E Yidu and An Feiyanggu, the two generals in charge of leading the army, were also nervous, but they shouted at the same time: "Charge quickly, quickly!"

Since you can't stop it, you should close the distance as soon as possible and directly drag your opponent into hand-to-hand combat.It's not that the two of them don't know that the other party's lance can be put on a bayonet, and it's not that they don't know the reputation of the bayonet formation today, but they also know that the bayonet formation is not used by cavalry - the body of the lance is better than the body of the rifle. Shorter, although the supporting bayonet on the lance will be longer than the bayonet on the rifle, due to the limitation of metallurgical capacity, the lengthened part is still limited and cannot make up for the shortened part of the gun body.

Overall, a lance with a bayonet is still nearly a foot shorter than a rifle with a bayonet.

However, under the high-practical and consistent thinking of "firearmization", "simplification of logistics" and "reduction of soldiers' combat readiness", the cavalry of the Ming army has now gradually phased out the saber, and only use "lance + bayonet" as the main weapon.

Ma Chengxun's troops, as a highly pragmatic "direct line army", were naturally the first to accept this reform. This led to the fact that once they lost the opportunity to shoot long-range shots with muskets, they could only use lances and bayonets to fight.

This kind of situation is not easy to happen usually, because after all, they are Musketeers, so they naturally have various ways of "flying kites". Kite".

This disadvantage was immediately discovered by E Yidu and An Fei Yanggu, and the two urged the Jianzhou soldiers to move forward bravely regardless of everything, and the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed.

The Ming army scouts who wounded more than a dozen people with a round of spears now of course don't need to scout anymore. One by one, they reined in and turned around to get closer to the main force. At the same time, they began to change ammunition immediately according to the training requirements.

Although Jinghua has paper-shell fixed charges, they are not copper-cased bullets after all. Continuous shooting is still in the dream stage, so every time you finish a shot, you still have to change the ammunition, but the paper-case fixed charges can speed up the process, and Avoid most of the misoperations of soldiers-mainly because too much or too little charge may be caused by too much tension in the battle, or even the gunpowder is loaded but the projectile is forgotten.Although this sounds ridiculous, in fact, there are many armies in the East and West.

Ma Chengxun had already realized that he was really ambushed, but he was really a brave man, instead of panicking, he sneered, "It's just in time!" Then he tilted his head and turned his face to the side The awe-inspiring Fei Yingdong said: "You guessed it right, then fight as you said just now!"
