Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 86 The Battle of Daankou (1)

In the second year of Chongzhen, on November [-]th, it was sunny and the front line of Da'ankou.

According to the order issued by the front of the Military Aircraft Department, Lu Xiangsheng led the Tianxiong Army to fight, and Zhou Yuji led the Yongwei Battalion as the flank, appearing within the right wing of Jianlu.

"What's wrong with this Ming dog? Why do you dispatch troops and horses to dig wide ditches wherever you go?" Ji Erhalang frowned, looking at the silent Yue Tuo and said.

"It's like this in Shimen Town, and it's still like this when you reach Da'ankou, Yue Tobeile, why don't you order my cavalry to fight?

Is it just watching Ming Gou gain a firm foothold under our noses, and then launch an offensive towards the Da'ankou camp? "

"Ben Baylor has his own plans!"

Yue Tuo looked at Jierhalang coldly, and said: "Right now, the main forces of our Dajin banners have all been dispatched to Qian'an City to break the entrenched position of the Enlightened Army.

If you can attract more Ming troops, you can reduce the pressure on King Khan. Don't forget, there are only a few Niulu troops in Zunhua, and if it takes one more day, the odds of winning in Qian'an will be one point higher! "

"..."

Jierhalang frowned slightly, hearing Yue Tuona's reprimanding words, he felt angry in his heart, didn't it mean that Sahalin was killed by Ming Gou, and it was Ben Bayle who wanted him to be killed?
He overestimated himself. He was clearly spying on the military situation in Shimen Town, but he wanted to attack Shimen Town. On the way, he was attacked by the Ming army rushing to help him. He was killed by himself!
"Clang clang clang..."

There was a rush of golden chirping, outside the commander's tent, the sound of chaotic footsteps, and the impact of nail leaves. All kinds of signs indicated that the invading Ming army seemed to be attacking.

Yuetuo and Jierhalang went out of the tent, swaying their teeth from left to right and saluting their armour. March.

"Woooooooo..."

The sound of the horn reverberating between the heaven and the earth stimulated the Tianxiong army to go into battle. Lu Xiangsheng rode on the horse, his eyes shining brightly, looking at the Jianlu camp not far away.

"Brother, why didn't the invading Jian captives garrison troops guarding Da'ankou, instead they sent out a lot of soldiers and horses to build camps inside the pass?"

Lu Xiangjin, who was accompanying him, looked puzzled, looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said: "Obviously guarding the main line of Da'ankou, we can use the advantage of location to effectively prevent our Ming army from going out to fight.

But why are they..."

"You don't understand that."

Lu Xiangsheng looked indifferent, and said to Lu Xiangjin: "The passes, piers, etc. built along the Great Wall of my Ming Dynasty are all due to the terrain.

As an important place to resist foreign enemies, its characteristics are mainly external and light on internal. Da'ankou, which was attacked by our Tianxiong army, is a key pass under the rule of Jizhou Town.

Therefore, in order to prevent a large number of foreign enemies from attacking and causing disadvantages for the rescue, many military roads were built on the inner line of Da'ankou to facilitate the rush of reinforcements to board along the key pass. "

Lu Xiangjin nodded knowingly, it turned out to be the case, no wonder the Jianlu right wing entrenched here, most of the soldiers and horses went out to the inner line of Da'ankou, and built camps relying on the terrain.

Feeling emotional, Lu Xiangjin went on to say: "Brother, how should our Tianxiong army attack in this battle, so as to cause huge casualties to the right wing of Jianlu with minimal casualties?"

"In this battle, our Tianxiong army will use defensive methods to attack!"

Lu Xiangsheng straightened his back, scanned all the troops in front of him, and said loudly: "I want these Jianlu to know that the Ming army, which has powerful weapons on the battlefield, dares to start a field battle with them!!"

Earlier, Lu Xiangsheng led the Tianxiong and Zhongyong armies from the Guangqumen area of ​​Shenjing, and led the two armies of Tianxiong and Zhongyong. They rushed to the front battlefield with a large number of thunderstorms provided by the Military Warfare Bureau, as well as bags of granular gunpowder and bagged lead bullets. On the way, Lu Xiangsheng thought of some offensives around these new firearms.

Although among the existing firearms of Ming Dynasty, there is a flying thunder similar to the Thunderbolt, it is far inferior to the Thunderbolt provided by Bingzhan Bureau in terms of power and lethality.

Especially in Zhentianlei, there are still a lot of iron beads, iron nails, etc. hidden. Once they explode in the enemy army, the secondary damage caused will be even greater!

"Da da da……"

As the Tianxiong army in battle continued to approach Jianlu's right-wing camp, the cavalry under each department began to shuttle between the formations, passing on corresponding military orders.

Unlike other armies in Daming, in order to ensure that the Tianxiong and Zhongyong armies can form combat power in the shortest possible time and complete the system of superiors and subordinates, during the rectification period outside Guangqumen, Lu Xiangsheng deliberately brought relatives and old friends out of the same army. The unified compilation of the local area is one, and the blood relationship and the township party are used as the link to realize the situation that one person dies and many people stand on top.

Daming has no feelings for family and country. Even if the elites are selected from the Beijing camp, they are mostly for payment. This is one of the status quo that Emperor Chongzhen will start to change in the future.

"Pass down the order, hit the rear of the army, immediately assemble the stone-throwing machine, and prepare the cluster thunder that is carried, ready to throw at Jianlu at any time."

"Pass down the order and order the left and right flanks to be vigilant. If Jianlu cavalry rushes to attack, use arrow rain to suppress them, and order the guerrilla generals of the various ministries to guard the area where they are, and remember not to enter rashly."

"Pass down the order..."

After leading his troops to the scheduled battle position, Lu Xiangsheng, who was in the middle army, was not in a hurry to launch an offensive. After observing the camp ahead, he issued a series of military orders.

The accompanying cavalry and flying horses galloped towards the various ministries, and the ten ministries of the Tianxiong Army quickly made adjustments. The chariots acted as the core of each front, and the shieldmen set up the large shields they held to cover the infantry, crossbowmen, and firearms. Gunners, grenadiers, etc., more than [-] Tianxiong troops, put up a battle, which made Yue Tuo, Jierhalang and others who commanded the right wing of Jianlu fall into deep thought.

"Damn, the chief general of this Ming army is really stable enough."

Ji Erhalang stood on the wall of the stronghold, looked at the various divisions of the Ming army in the distance, frowned and said: "The Ming dogs who invaded, at least [-] in size, far surpassed my four flags on the right wing!"

A group of Jianlu generals gathered beside Yue Tuo, all of them had bright eyes and excited expressions on their faces, they obviously didn't pay attention to the Ming army who would commit crimes in the future.

No wonder, in the black land of eastern Liaodong, when they fought against the Ming army, their Eight Banners were often one against ten. No matter how big the difference in strength between the two sides was, the Eight Banners would still win in the end!

"Baylor, let's go to battle, call these damn smart dogs, know how powerful I am!"

"Master, slaves please fight!"

Under a burst of clamor, Yue Tuo, who observed the Ming army invading, frowned, but never let it go. For some reason, he always felt that the Ming army in front of him was very different from the Ming army he had fought against before. .
