The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 821 Cutting off the way back
Feeling more relaxed, Hong has made a decision. He reviewed his gains and losses, and believed that the previous few times when the main force of the Qing army encountered the main force of the "Red Banner Army", they did not get the right time and place.

Also because it was a long-distance raid and could not carry heavy weapons, there was nothing they could do when facing the "Red Banner Army" who was hiding behind the unicycle formation and firing guns.

If you carry the Tianyou Cheering General Cannon, all problems will be solved. Only three rounds of artillery fire will be needed, and the formation of the "Red Banner Army" will be in chaos.

Hong Xie learned from the painful experience, and decided that every time he fought, Huang Han was waiting for his work, so the Qing army was very passive.

That guy has been raving about five years of Ping Liao, okay, I'm waiting for a showdown with the "Red Banner Army" under the city of Shengjing.

Liaodong is of course the home ground of the Mongolian cavalry, and the shortest distance between Shengjing and the sea is more than four hundred miles.

At that time, the supply line of the "Red Banner Army" will be attacked by Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, and the troops transporting heavy artillery will need a large number of people to protect them before they can reach the battlefield.

As long as the artillery advantage of the "Red Banner Army" is eliminated, Chongde believes that he can lead the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry to win the Shengjing defense battle.

As long as the "Red Banner Army" can be severely injured under the city of Shengjing, Chongde will have the confidence to regain North Korea and enter Daming Pass.

Chongde still emphasized a sentence, "I want more artillery, the better, and I want more gunners, the better!"

well!Little did they know that if Shengjing was not to be attacked, only the Hongyi cannons were far from enough to form a defense. They had to have anti-aircraft guns, otherwise Chongde would be surprised when the "flying army" of the "Red Banner Army" came to attack.

The first step of the Ping-Liao Plan was successfully completed, and hundreds of civilian and military generals were able to make contributions. In addition to the original team of the "Red Banner Army", Sun Chuanting, Chen Qiyu, Mao Chenglu, Shang Keyi, etc. performed eye-catchingly.

Those who made meritorious deeds were rewarded and those who were delinquent were punished. Soldiers who made meritorious deeds were not only promoted to ranks, but also received beheading rewards. Thousands of households in the system put a big basket of firecrackers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

As soon as the dust of the war had settled, Huang Han deliberately gave the soldiers who participated in the war a holiday and did not gather prematurely. It was not until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month that the military meeting of thousands of generals and above was held in Shanhaiguan.

The "Red Banner Army" guarded the defense line of the Yalu River, and left behind dozens of small warships and sentinel boats at the port of Zhenjiangbao, as well as the Marine Corps led by Zeng Tongxiang.

The Yalu River Detachment of the Longwu Navy will patrol the middle and lower reaches of the Yalu River, and the Marine Corps will participate in the encroachment initiated by Mao Chenglu and Shang Keyi to restore the original Ming army castle on the west bank of the Yalu River.

For the Qing army, the Yalu River was very dangerous. They had already shrunk their defenses, and the Qing army was basically invisible within a hundred miles along the river.

The line of defense has reached the west bank of the Yalu River, and the "Han River Province" is naturally impenetrable. For the convenience of command, Huang Han can't stay in Seoul or Pyongyang, and will sit in Shanhaiguan in the future.

More than half of the officers in the entire "Red Banner Army" system with more than a thousand officers will attend the meeting.

The topic this time is how to wipe out the Jiannu in large numbers, so as to prevent them from fleeing north and make the battle after Ping Liao protracted.

The generals who participated in the meeting were not illiterate, and more than [-]% of them were educated youths. They knew themselves and the enemy and could fight a hundred battles. The generals of the "Red Banner Army" all studied the system of slavery, knew the tactics of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and understood their combat effectiveness.

Everyone knows that the five-year peace of Liaodong is no problem, and the capture of the territory of Liaodong is only of symbolic significance. How to deal with more than 15 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry?How to form a large-scale annihilation is the big problem.

The generals spoke freely, but in the end it was Chen Qiyu and Sun Chuanting's proposals that were constructive.

Chen Qiyu believed that Jianu had been successfully trapped, but Shenyang had actually become a weak point, and it became an excuse to leave Jiannu to spend in Liaodong.

In order to greatly reduce the number of Jiannu who fled north, the best way is to form a legion to annihilate and conquer the Horqin Mongolian Seven Banners who are helping the tyrants.

Sun Chuanting's intentions were slightly different. He proposed to improve the encirclement circle, exterminate the Jiannu Tartars who dared to flee into Ming Dynasty to cause harm to Shaanxi, and expand the scope of activities of the "Red Banner Army" cavalry to Guihuacheng, Qingcheng, Fuyu guard.

There is no need to send troops to expedition to Xi'an. Sun Chuanting proposed to send more sentry horses to investigate, and concentrate ten A-type battalions in the Qingcheng area to wait for work. Jiannu sent follow-up troops to support the Shaanxi battlefield. kill.

The benefits of attacking halfway are self-evident, Sun Chuanting is indeed a master ambush, he lived up to the historical ambush to capture Gao Yingxiang, beat Li Zicheng to only eighteen riders and hid in Shangluo Mountain.

Huang Han adopted Sun Chuanting's suggestion and sent four newly formed Type B battalions to replace Hanzi's reinforcement battalion and Yang Danian's direct battalion.

The garrison and management of Shanxi and Xuanda were handed over to Fang Liandong as the leader, and the three battalion leaders Wang Zhaoxiang, Chen Song, and Zhu Lianshan would serve as deputy four A-type battalions and four B-type battalions with nearly [-] "Red Banner Army" soldiers .

Hanzi, Yang Danian, etc. were stationed in Shanxi, and Xuanda had developed a lot of guards for one and a half years, and converted a large number of former Ming army cavalry who had made meritorious service.

Not only did the Shanxi Front Army have a sufficient number of cavalry, but it also supported several thousand cavalry for other battalions.

The total number of cavalry of the two of them has exceeded [-], and this number is still increasing, because they are still restraining the [-] Ordos Mongolian cavalry who are eager to be treated as guards and regular soldiers, and the number of cavalry can reach [-].

Those who choose these two will definitely employ the right people, because their battalion is good at riding and fighting.

The third general was of course Wang Zhicheng, the lunatic Wang Zhicheng, who fought indomitably, followed by Liu Fenyong, Wang Zhanpeng, Zhang Yang, Sang Yu, Yuan Siming, Yang Hanwei, and Huang Nongsheng.

These ten Type A battalions have [-] elite cavalry from the "Red Banner Army", plus [-] Ordos Mongolian cavalry, and [-] selected from the Karaqin tribe who surrendered to the "Red Banner Army" within a radius of [-] miles from Qingcheng. The string controller, the total number of cavalry exceeded [-].

In order to be on the safe side, Huang Han also sent the personal guard battalion to the prairie to exercise, making the number of cavalry capable of riding battles exceed [-], which accounted for half of the troops participating in the battle.

The main generals who sent troops to the prairie this time were of course Hanzi, deputy generals Yang Danian and Gu Kui, the general governor Gu Jixiang, general Zanhua Sun Chuanting, and Chen Qiyu.

I don't know when they encountered the Manchurian cavalry. It doesn't matter at all. The formed Northern Expeditionary Army will complete its assembly at the end of the first month and the beginning of February. They will send troops on the tenth day of February. They will not wait passively and annihilate and conquer all Mongolia within [-] miles from Yuanbao Mountain. tribe.

After the spring plowing in the West Liao Corridor, in mid-March, [-] to [-] people will be mobilized to build a city with a circumference of [-] miles before the frost season.
