Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 613

Zhu Yihai in Zhangqiu City saw the Qing army arriving,

And Jin Gongyu on Girl Mountain to the west of the battlefield also waited for the Qing army.

"finally come!"

Facing the rushing Qing army, Jin Gongyu showed a smile on his face, digging such a big hole and setting such a trap, of course he had to catch big prey, how could he be satisfied with only [-] cavalry.

"Order the whole army, prepare to fight!"

An officer lamented, "It's a pity that the cannons from Shenji Town were not brought in, even if only a batch of [-]-pound field cannons were brought in, it would be fine if they were erected on this mountain, condescending to bombard them, they would be able to bomb them directly broken."

"How can there be so many assumptions? Although the cannons in Shenji Town are sharp, they can only travel sixty miles a day. It has to be a plain road. If the road is not easy to walk, it will only be twenty or thirty miles a day. In the rainy season, it is muddy, or The mountain road is rugged, and it may be difficult for ten miles a day. When we came this time, we were on a rapid march of [-] miles a day. We left behind the heavy troops before, and even the light artillery belonging to the artillery battalion of the town arrived a day behind. When will the cannons that move several thousand catties in Jizhen go?"

Although heavy artillery is sharp, the biggest limitation is speed.

As a new army, the Ming army is a coordinated force of infantry, cavalry and artillery, as well as a special supply auxiliary force. Therefore, the speed of marching is stronger than that of the general old Ming army. , and limit the marching speed.

For example, if an infantry soldier does not carry luggage or guns, it is not a problem to march 120 miles a day.

Chen Tangli of the Han Dynasty said that one can travel thirty miles a day with heavy equipment, and fifty miles a day with light equipment. The Wujing also said that one can travel thirty miles a day on a normal day and sixty miles a day at a fast speed.If the war requires, the rapid march can be increased several times, and the cavalry can even gallop two or three hundred miles a day and night.

Zhu Yihai’s marches against the imperial battalion were generally divided into two types: daily marches and rapid marches. Daily marches took six hours a day, rested for 5 minutes every hour of marching, had a meal and rest for one hour in the middle, and had to set up camp, etc. on poor roads. , You can march five miles in one hour, six miles on a moderate road, and seven miles on a good road.Therefore, one day on a good road, one can travel forty li.

Another way of marching is to march in a hurry, sleep six hours a day, and march for sixteen hours, so you can walk up to 120 miles.

Of course, this is infantry speed.

The artillery and the transport vehicles of the supply battalion will greatly slow down their speed. The artillery can travel up to four miles an hour on ordinary roads, and only six miles on good roads.

Moreover, it is impossible to march continuously for sixteen hours if the carts are pulled by livestock.

In the autumn march on the Shandong Plain, the roads are good, and the march of large armies does not exceed six miles per hour, and they have to rest frequently and regroup.

Zhu Yihai led 2 people from three towns to march all the way from Denglai to Qingqi, and the troops from all walks of life stretched for twelve miles.

If the normal infantry marching speed is followed, the distance from the rear of the team to the head of the team will take two hours to march.

This is still marching on the plains. If marching in the mountains, the team will be longer, and 2 people may stretch to twenty miles.

For Zhu Yihai's march this time, each of the three towns marched one hour apart. At the same time, each town sent its own vanguard cavalry to open the way, and they kept a distance of one hour from the main force.

Between the forward cavalry and the main force, a cavalry unit was also arranged to maintain contact.

This arrangement is also to ensure that even if you encounter an enemy while marching, you can still have combat effectiveness.

Each town is a battle regiment, and even the cavalry of the vanguard has the ability to fight alone.

Because of this tactical system, Shenji Town actually came this time, but they are still on the way. They not only have to carry heavy artillery, but also a large amount of ammunition, and even have to carry cannon craftsmen and tools for cannon casting, etc. However, the daily march is only a few tens of miles, and it is impossible to march in a hurry, so we can only come slowly.

Zhu Yihai sent them here, not to fight Zhangqiu, but to Jinan to prepare for the next possible siege, and even planned to send them to participate in the fight against Xuzhou after Jinan was captured.

"It's good to have a three-pound gun. Let the artillery battalion prepare. When the fight starts, let them push the gun down the mountain and fight together."

The three-pound cannon is light, only a few hundred catties, and can be pushed and run by a horse or a few gunners. The most convenient thing is that they can move while shooting, unlike the heavy cannons in Shenji Town. Build an artillery position and fix it on the artillery position. After a battle, it is difficult to have a chance to move.

At this time, on the battlefield, it was the main force of the Qing army led by Boluo.

Marching all the way over in a hurry, more than [-] people were also stretched for more than ten miles. There were cavalry in the front, infantry in the middle, and some artillery carts and baggage carts behind them.

Like a long snake.

The Qing army also saw the Tulai vanguard cavalry who were caught in a bitter battle from a distance. They blew the horn to attack without any hesitation, and without a little rest, they directly attacked the camp on the other side of the river, wanting to immediately reinforce the cavalry.

"The Tartars are a little careless."

Jin Gongyu still had time to comment on the Tartars with the officers. He held up a binoculars to watch the formation of the Qing army. The way."

"I used to say how powerful the Tartars are, but in fact that's the case. I think I suffered a lot under Zhang Cunren's hands back then. Now that I think about it, it's not that the Tartars are so powerful, it's because we were too weak before."

"When we meet us today, it's finally time to avenge our shame."

The generals are also relatively easy.

Seeing the Tartars joining the battlefield in a hurry, they didn't panic yet.

The tartar stretched so long that he pounced on it like a snake without resting, his tail was still behind.

"When a third of the Tartars have passed the Xiujiang River, blow the trumpet and attack, kill them down the mountain and cut them in half."

"Cavalry, go around and attack the artillery and baggage behind them."

"General Town, isn't it His Majesty's order that we let half of the Tartars cross the river before going down the mountain to intercept?"

Jin Gongyu said, "Wait until half of it passes by, when will it be, the back of the Tartars is still more than ten miles away, it will take a long time for them to come, Jinwu Town has already sent a standard killer into the battlefield , eat meat in that big piece, and the rest of the standard battalions have already been prepared. Once the Tartar soldiers cross the river, they will kill them. If we wait for half of the people to cross the river, we will take action , then we won’t even be able to make money, why can’t we watch the show here for a day, and then clean up the battlefield at the end?”

"Would you like to?"

"That won't work, we in Shence Town are not here to be bait and clean up the battlefield, we are the main force!"

"Yes, the main force must eat meat."

"Well, eat a big piece."

All the generals in Shence Town shouted.

"That's right, when one-third of the Tartars have crossed the river, they will blow the trumpet and go down the mountain. Fuck it!"

Down the mountain.

Like Tulai, Boluo didn't know that the Ming army was still ambushing on this mountain, and he could even stand still all the time.He looked at the anxious state of the battlefield and was very anxious.

Before he had time to rest, he rushed forward with the cavalry.

From a distance, the whole army ran at an accelerated pace.

The cavalry who marched all the way were also sweating and panting, but at this time they couldn't stop to rest for a while.

First aid is like putting out a fire.

On the battlefield, after the Qing army lost its coach Tulai, the morale of the Qing army was already falling rapidly. The news of the coach's death spread quickly from the mouths of the Ming and Qing armies.

Wen Hu even snatched Tulai's body, tied him with a rope to his flagpole, and hung it high.

Turai's general armor is so obvious.

The soldiers of the Ming army shouted loudly, proudly promoting it.

The morale of the Qing army is dropping rapidly, and even cavalry have begun to run out of the camp.

At this time, the trumpet sounded, and Boluo led the reinforcements.

Boluo's personal soldiers held up his commander-in-chief flag, and the cavalry began to rush forward from a distance, and immediately launched a full charge from a distance as soon as they crossed the river.

The low morale was instantly boosted.

But they are not happy yet.

Behind them, on the girl's mountain, suddenly the sound of trumpets was heard.

Ming's ambush soldiers, who had been recharging their energy and recharging their energy, did not move, and there were tens of thousands of them.

Thousands of soldiers, plus thousands of regiments, descended from the mountain like a tiger, and killed the Qing army rushing towards the camp like a long snake.

Immediately afterwards, several cannons were fired from the east.

A few miles away, on the Yuhuang Mountain on the east bank of the Luohe River, another ambush soldier was killed. Thousands of soldiers and thousands of regiments trained directly to kill the Boluo reinforcements who had just crossed the river.

Bang bang bang.

There was also the sound of cannons from Zhangqiu City, and thousands of Jinwu cavalry came out from behind the city.

Even farther to the south of Zhangqiu, the emperor had sent them an order by beacon fire to let the soldiers and horses on the right wing cross the river directly and intercept the retreat of the Qing army in a detour.

The Qing army, which had just cheered up, completely collapsed seeing the ambushes everywhere.

At this time, Bo Luo finally crossed the river and reached the camp, but saw Tulai's body hanging high on the flagpole of the Ming army from a distance.

"My lord, we are in ambush."

The commander of the guards shouted in panic, "This is definitely not just a few thousand people in Shence Town, but at least tens of thousands of people."

"Look, Zhangqiu City, Zhangqiu City has raised the sun and moon flag,"

Zhangqiu City raised several huge banners.

There are nine big flags, and the sun, moon and stars are on the middle one. This is the Sanchen flag.

In Zhangqiu City, the gentry Li Jinming and his family were helping to prepare bandages, gauze, etc. When he looked up and saw the nine banners rising, he couldn't help but said to his disciples, "Look, there are nine banners in Huaxia, and Si Chang controls the nine banners." The names of things have their own attributes, and they are waiting for state affairs.

The sun and the moon are constant, the crossing dragon is the banner, the silk is the Zhan, the miscellaneous silk is the thing, the bear and the tiger are the banners, the birds and falcons are the Zan, the tortoise and the snake are the banners, the whole feathers are the Zan, and the separated feathers are the banners.

Wang Jian Dachang, Wang painted the sun and the moon, like the sky, and the sage is as bright as the sun and the moon, so the sun and the moon are painted on the flags.

Dachang paints the sun and the moon, as well as the stars, the banner of the Son of Heaven, the sun, the moon and the stars. "

Standing side by side with nine flags is even more majestic than the Jinwu banner in the emperor's guard of honor in Song Dynasty, and Genghis Khan's Jiuyou white banner. It not only represents the emperor, but also represents the country.

After the sun, moon and star banners, there are dragon banners, bears and tigers, eagles, turtles and snakes.

Five-color streamer, flying dragon edge, flame pattern.

In the Wanli Dynasty, the five-square flag was once combined with the banner to become the five-square banner of the emperor's ceremonial guard.

Today, set up nine flags.

The Nine Banners stand tall on the top of Zhangqiu City.

All the armies on the battlefield rushed out together.

The Qing army was already exhausted. Seeing the ambush on all sides, Qi Qi panicked and frightened.

"Your Majesty, you can't stay here for long, get out!"

Several Eight Banners generals grabbed Boluo's reins. They also saw Tulai being hung on the pole of the Chinese army in the Ming army camp, and saw the Ming army fighting from all sides, especially the Ming soldiers on the mountains on both sides of the camp. The army, who didn't know that they were in an ambush.

This battle was impossible to fight, and they came from a long distance, exhausted and exhausted. As a result, the most elite forward cavalry suffered heavy casualties. More than [-] of them were pulled into a long snake formation, and now they were cut off again. It was too late.

In such a chaotic battle, they will lose.

It may even be wiped out here.

"My lord, hurry up and break through."

Boluo gritted his teeth. It was too late to break through at this time. The men and horses were all exhausted. Even if they ran, they couldn't outrun the Ming army. Besides, where did they go?

But looking around, he, who is rich in experience, also understands that the Ming army dug a big hole here. At least three or four towns, or even four or five towns, the elite of the imperial camp ambushed him. There are more than 1 horses, and it is not enough to fill here.

If two years earlier, there were more than 1 full soldiers, he would not be afraid even if he faced [-] to [-] Ming troops.

But now, he knew that the Ming army on the opposite side was unusual.

While still hesitating, the Ming army rushing down from the girl's mountain had already cut off Boluo's successor team.

From behind Zhangqiu City, thousands of elite horsemen galloped forward, their breastplates shining brightly, they were extremely fine.

"Blow the horn, pick up the troops here, turn around and fight back, join the rear team, fight and retreat, and return to Jinan!" Boluo finally made up his mind.

Since you can't win, then withdraw quickly.

There was a lot of unwillingness and desolation in the humming of the Tartar horns.

Boluo personally led the army to the rear, and supported the collapsed Tulai's subordinates to retreat and break through.How fierce he was when he came here before, how embarrassing he was when he retreated and fled now.

Three thousand captive cavalry, after a great battle, at this time there were less than two-thirds left, and the loss exceeded a thousand cavalry.

"Zhao Xiaolou!"

"Captain, I'm here,"

"You're not dead yet, get up quickly if you're not dead."

The team leader Li Baoquan roared hoarsely, "Everyone who is not dead, come here and sign up."

"Team President Li Baoquan!"

"Bird shooter Zhao Xiaolou!"

·······
There are no other sounds.

There were 12 people in their team, and only two of them signed up.

The captain shouted sadly, "Is there anyone else?"

He even yelled a few times.

"Team, team deputy... Liu Maochun, here!"

Zhao Xiaolou was pleasantly surprised to dig into the pile of dead people, and found the blood soaked deputy Liu Dui, "Liu Dui, you are not dead yet."

"Well, I still have breath, help me up, I can still fight."

"Captain Liu, the Tartars are defeated and are running away."

"Oh, we won," Captain Liu tried to open his eyes, but he was so badly injured that he tilted his head and passed out again.

"Captain Liu, Captain Liu." Zhao Xiaolou yelled with his arms around him.

"Stop yelling, he's not dead, but he's about to die, so hurry up and bandage Deputy Liu."

After the two searched, they found three more survivors, all of whom were seriously injured and unconscious. The remaining six were completely silent. Zhao Tiezhu was the worst, stabbed to death by the Tartar cavalry, and his head was trampled by a horseshoe Half of it was rotten, the rough guy who always complained constantly, kept shouting to fight and make meritorious deeds, but it turned out that this was his first real battle, but he lost the battle immediately.

They whistled eight teams, and in the end there were less than thirty left, almost all of whom were injured.

The battalion commander who was injured came over, "All those who can still move gather with me and continue to pursue. The battle is not over yet, hurry up."

Zhao Xiaolou and Li Baoquan carried Captain Liu, who had been simply bandaged, to a fairly dry place, and then raised the firecrackers to follow the battalion commander and the others to continue the pursuit and fight.

　Thank you for the friendship of time and time and brother Nibal for the reward, thank you.
