The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 841

Those who made meritorious service were rewarded, and in a timely manner, the town governor confirmed that the Mongolian auxiliary soldiers who had obtained the beheading work were announced to be raised on the spot, and the auxiliary soldiers received the treatment of the Guards Army.

Although the rewards before the battle were rough, they were effective for the basically illiterate Mongols. Seeing that dozens of companions were promoted means that the salary was doubled, and the more than [-] people were all as excited as if they had been beaten.

They all knew that they were about to face [-] Qing troops. As long as their hands and feet quickly got the first-level decapitation skills, it shouldn't be difficult. Whether their wives and children could live a good life was right in front of them.

The cavalry who took the initiative to fight overwhelmed the Qing army in terms of momentum, and it is not an exaggeration to describe all the horses facing the battle as united.

Huang Han's personal guard battalion is full of cavalry, and more than half of the teenagers can ride and fight.

The reinforced battalion of Hanzi and Yang Danian has two thousand total cavalry, and the eight battalions of Wang Zhicheng, Wang Zhanpeng, Sang Yu, Liu Fenyong, Yuan Siming, etc. have one thousand total full cavalry.

His father, Huang Yizhou, also participated in the battle, and he enthusiastically led a general bodyguard cavalry to advance in the direction where the Qing army assembled like a wall.

Of course, Huang Han is very talkative now, but whenever his father is present, he really feels in a dilemma. Fortunately, the "Red Banner Army" has relatively perfect laws, and it is impossible for the general to lead the way.

Most of the elite cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" are here, and the chances of losing Huang Yizhou, one of the main generals, should be very low.

Hanzi and Yang Danian didn't dare to make mistakes when they saw the old Patriarch was in battle. They personally led the cavalry directly under them to surround Huangyi Prefecture, and told the soldiers under their command that if the old Patriarch got hurt, we wouldn't go back.

In fact, Huang Han was reluctant to use the cavalry head-on. He was still planning to use the infantry to push the one-pound Franco cannon cart forward, first bombard the Manchurian cavalry, and then launch a cavalry group charge.

However, the prairie soil in summer is soft, even if a pound gun is only a hundred catties plus the total weight of the gun cart is not light, the wheels often get stuck in the mud, which greatly affects the speed of the infantry formation.

At this time, the Mongolian auxiliary soldiers with high enthusiasm for killing the enemy had already actively wandered outside the army formation to wipe out the rangers of the Qing army, and gradually left the army formation because of their eagerness for meritorious service.

Seeing that the advance speed of the infantry was not ideal, thousands of Mongolian light cavalry had already advanced ten miles. Generals such as Hanzi and Yang Danian asked to lead the cavalry to form a charge and were approved.

Huang Han was not worried that the elite cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" would not be able to defeat the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry, but he was worried that the casualties would be too great and the victory would be like a defeat. Now it was time to do it as a last resort, and he could only show the momentum of meeting the brave to win in a narrow road, and directly mobilized the cavalry regardless of gains or losses Charge.

The Qing army had only two or three hundred rangers, and there were too many Mongolian auxiliary soldiers who wanted to beheaded, reaching five or six thousand, and they did not fight at all. Seeing so many Mongolian light cavalry coming, the Qing army hurried away. People are chasing after each other.

The follow-up rangers rushed to respond, and then Manchurian cavalry continued to join the battle group. The scout battle, which was supposed to be a small fight, also fought thousands of troops, and even Du Du went up with his personal guards.

It's a pity that it didn't last long, because Hauge had found out that the "Red Banner Army" outnumbered the troops he led, and his father's thousands of exhortations played a role, Hauge didn't dare to give it a go, and Mingjin retreated another fifty miles.

Thousands of horses are galloping, and the sound of killing is earth-shattering. Although the Qing army was not killed but forced to retreat, even this can prove that the cavalry's confrontation with the "Red Banner Army" is not against the so-called "invincible" Jiannu cavalry.

Huang Yizhou, Liu Zhilun, and Zheng Guochang all experienced the field combat capabilities of the "Red Banner Army" and felt relieved.

Seeing that it was getting late, night battles on the endless prairie were not conducive to the "Red Banner Army"'s firearms, so Huang Han withdrew his troops and set up camp on the spot.

The sky is wild and vast, and 6 or [-] horses are like a drop in the ocean on the vast prairie.

The Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry under Hauge were even more mobile than the "Red Banner Army" with nearly [-] infantry. If they avoided the battle and kept wandering around the prairie, Huang Han really couldn't do anything about them.

The number of cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" is only half of that of the Mongolian cavalry. If there is no infantry following the battle, there is a possibility of killing one thousand enemies and causing eight hundred casualties.

It is impossible for Huang Han to let Hanzi and Yang Danian lead the cavalry to chase the Qing army for battle, and at most fifty miles away from the infantry formation is the limit.

In the next few days, scout battles were fought every day, with mutual casualties, and the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" did not have the advantage.

The reason is very simple. Many of the people who participated in the scout battle were not regular soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" at all, but Mongolian light cavalry who were eager to be rewarded for their meritorious service and get regular treatment.

Hanzi, Yang Danian, Sang Yu, etc. took turns to serve as forwards, and often the Qing army found out that the knights with their armor down came in groups and ran away, so they didn't get much.

On the battlefields in the west and south of Jinzhou, the attacks launched by Song Pengfei, Sun Yuanhua, and Zheng Xiaowen were extremely sharp.

The "Red Banner Army" stationed on the front line of Tashan had confronted the Qing army for too long, and they had already figured out the enemy. They conducted targeted exercises many times, which made many veterans unbearable.

Finally got the order to advance, under the cover of artillery fire, under the cover of the Mini gunners, the knife and shield fighters armed to the teeth and carrying steel shields competed one by one for the trenches.

Soon, the Qing army, which had no fighting spirit, formed a wave of surrender. This time the attack was too smooth. In three days, not only the defense line was advanced ten miles, but the Jinzhou South and Jinzhou West positions were all taken down.

There are red barbarian cannons at the top of Jinzhou City, and there are quite a few of them. The first line of defense of the "Red Banner Army" is ten miles away from the city wall.

Working with Jianu is too hard, eating two meals of miscellaneous grains a day can barely fill [-]% of his body, and he doesn't see meat once a month.

After surrendering, you can eat pancakes, white rice, and sea fish and eggs every two days, making these original Ming soldiers seem like a lifetime away.

The "Red Banner Army" broke through the defense line and was approaching Jinzhou. The emergency military situation was sent to Shengjing, and the slave chief Chongde was shocked.

He didn't know that the "Red Banner Army" had no intention of capturing Jinzhou directly in this military operation. He was not only worried that Jinzhou would miss, but also worried that his son Hauge would be cut off.

Hauge's men were unable to open the passage to the west, so he had no choice but to send a messenger to ask his father for instructions, and the messenger just arrived in Shengjing.

After Chongde learned of the situation, he immediately ordered Haoge's squadron to return to defend Jinzhou.

Compared with Chongzhen, Chongde is not much better, both internally and externally, Chongde is not as good as Chongzhen, because his body is getting worse day by day.

Hauge encountered the main force of the "Red Banner Army". At the same time, Huang Han was able to launch a raid to break through the Jinzhou defense line in one fell swoop.

It can be seen from this that even though the people who went to Shaanxi made a huge disturbance, it was useless, and Huang Han was not moved at all.

　The next month will still be updated every day, except for some delays in the first week, try to try to update two chapters a day.
