Daming wolf ride

Offense is the best defense.

Six days after occupying Dengzhou, Dayong changed his previous decision to hold firmly, and decided to attack instead of holding firmly.There are two reasons that prompted him to change his policy. One is that more and more rebel officers secretly surrendered to the Jinzhou Army;

The floating hearts of the rebels gave Dayong the confidence to attack, and the more than 1000 horses in the city made the Jinzhou Army itself stronger.

There are many soldiers in the army who are familiar with riding skills. When Pingdu was reorganized for the fifth time, many soldiers from the left and right battalions of the infantry were transferred to wolf cavalry and light cavalry. Although there were many casualties in the subsequent battles, the entire army There are also hundreds of "half cavalry" that can be pieced together.

After discovering that there were more than a thousand top-grade Mongolian war horses in the city, Cao Bianjiao wept with joy, and tried his best to persuade Shi Dayong to expand the wolf cavalry army and train soldiers who could ride horses from each battalion, hoping to form a strong cavalry force. [

Powerful is relative to Denglai. Looking at the entire territory of Denglai, except for the family cavalry brought by Zu Dabi and Wu Sangui from Liaodong, the rest of the soldiers and horses are let alone cavalry, and there are not many horses.The Beijing battalion was better, more or less benefited from the advantage of the imperial forest army. The horses of Taipusi and Yumajian were always replenished in time, and the army of the first battalion could have six or seven hundred horses at their disposal.It's a pity that the Beijing camp has been corrupted. No matter how many war horses, no matter how sophisticated weapons are, it can't change the fact that the Beijing camp is invincible.Those soldiers and ruffians who were brave enough to fight in Xianghe had already seen it before, and they were stunned. With such an imperial forest army, the Jinzhou army is more than enough for one to outnumber ten.

The [-] Ding cavalry of the ancestral family can be put on the table. Dayong does not deny that in terms of strength, the overall strength of the cavalry of the ancestral family is far better than his Jinzhou army.The wolf cavalry army could beat him somewhat, but it was limited by the small number of people, and there was probably nothing to bargain for in a real confrontation.

Dayong weighed in his mind the hidden secrets that happened during the battle between the big and the small Linghe, whether it was public or private, the future confrontation with his ancestors was inevitable.Wu Sangui's sudden shot at Xiaoguanzhuang had actually declared that his ancestors and his Shi Dayong were in conflict.

To put it bluntly, I was too careless. After the great victory in Jinzhou, I was too relaxed. I only wanted to go to Beijing to present the victory as soon as possible, but I didn't plan for the remaining forces of my ancestors. Now I have become a duckweed without roots, but my ancestors are deeply rooted in Liaodong There is too much difference in the strength that can be mobilized between the two big clans.

The strength of the ancestral family can be seen from the 3000 cavalry in the hands of Zu Dabi. The cavalry under Dayong's men was no more than a thousand at most, but the ancestral family was able to easily form a [-] cavalry with the death of the patriarch and many backbones. This background is not what Dayong can have now.

Therefore, when Cao Bianjiao insisted on using the war horses in Dengzhou City to expand the wolf cavalry, Dayong immediately agreed. In addition to hoping to use offense instead of defense, he was also afraid of the three thousand cavalry of Zu Dabi and Wu Sangui.

The lesson of going south tells Dayong that if he wants to no longer be controlled by others, he must have the power to make others afraid.

Dayong is optimistic about the emperor's re-approval of himself and the Jinzhou Army, but he has to guard against it. What if the young emperor does not recognize himself?What if Dengzhou City can't get the emperor's forgiveness?

Plan for the last rainy day, always think of the bad side in everything.There is always no harm in preparing in advance. Dayong does not want tens of thousands of Ming soldiers to arrive at the city of Dengzhou after Kong Youde's death, and he himself will become the "rebellious leader" passed on by the officials in the court.

Dengzhou has been in the fall for a long time. Except for those who died in the city, the former officials of the Ming Dynasty were the so-called "enduring humiliation". The former Dengzhou Dao Song Guanglan and the prefect Wu Weicheng all closed their houses for the sake of Jinzhou army after entering the city. The appearance of a civil servant bossing around.

The knowledge and interest of these people was naturally accepted by Da Yong. Without the direction of civil officials, the military control of the Jinzhou Army in the city was very smooth.

As for how to deal with these officials who had surrendered the rebels, Dayong didn't worry about it, because they were the ones to worry about, not himself.

What Dayong has to do is to wait for these people to take the initiative to come to him, and now only he can save their lives.If Dayong didn't admit that it was these traitors who took the initiative to open the city to welcome the Jinzhou army into the city, then these people's heads would not be on their necks at all.

If you don't want fame and festivals, your face is naturally worthless.

Before leaving the city, Song Guanglan and others really came to ask for an audience. Dayong didn't see them because he was in a hurry to go out, but he reassured them, "The day Kong Ni dies is the day you will see the sun and the moon again."

In reciprocation, Song Guanglan and others, after obtaining Dayong's permission, reorganized the Dengzhou official system, and borrowed a team of soldiers from the Jinzhou Army to serve as yamen servants, and began to maintain order in the city for the Jinzhou Army.

Regarding this, Dayong smiled lightly, and ordered not to interfere, and let these civil servants do their own thing.

After the expansion of the wolf cavalry army, Cao Bianjiao's original master trained for a period of time, and then went into battle when the rebels came.But Dayong was impatient. He had just expanded his personnel, and Cao Bianjiao was going to lead the army to fight with him.

Although Cao Bianjiao is bold, but the wolf cavalry has just been expanded, and the appointment of officers has not yet been in place, and most of them can only guarantee that they will not fall when they march on horseback, and they cannot be used as real cavalry at all. [

Xiao Cao was reluctant to use these newly formed wolf cavalry as cannon fodder. He wholeheartedly wanted to build a powerful cavalry comparable to the Eight Banners of the Eastern Captives.Cavalry is different from infantry. Those who can go into battle with a long gun must spend all their efforts and time on training, otherwise they cannot be regarded as real cavalry.

The Jinzhou Army has suffered hastily until today, and all the generals, including Shi Dayong, believe that as long as they are given a year and a half to recuperate, the Jinzhou Army will definitely be several times stronger than it is now.However, from the day Songshan set off, the Jinzhou Army has been accompanied by constant battles. In addition to fighting, there are still fewer and fewer veterans fighting, and the team cannot be expanded. Yu has to live by cannibalism.

Dayong knows that his subordinates are suffering, and he is also suffering. Why didn't God give himself enough time to suffer.

If possible, Dayong would like to rest in this Dengzhou city for a year. However, the heads of Kong Youde and Li Jiuzheng must be obtained, otherwise, he does not know that what awaits him from the Jinzhou Army and Shi Dayong is the mighty grace of the emperor. Still furious.

Outside Laizhou City, Kong Youde commanded tens of thousands of rebels to march towards Dengzhou with the intention of taking one step at a time. Inside the city of Dengzhou, Shi Dayong also led a thousand wolf cavalry towards Laizhou with the intention of taking one step at a time.

That day, in order to go to the Daling River, three thousand Changping children staged a scene of "living people tied to horses" in the Jinzhou Army. Today, for the sake of Kong Youde's head, among the marching cavalry, there are also soldiers tied to horses.

In the battle of Zhaoyuan, it was not so much that the powerful deterrence displayed by the cavalry gained the upper hand, it was better to say that the rebels who had no fighting spirit had collapsed from within.

The Battle of Zhaoyuan further strengthened Dayong's confidence in success. When he learned from the captives that the main force of the rebel army led by Li Jiuzheng and Kong Youde was at Zhuqiao more than 20 miles away, Dayong immediately ordered the whole wolf cavalry army to march towards Zhuqiao.

He wants to create a miracle with these thousand cavalry.
