Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

On the eve of the siege, Qin Liangyu arranged the division of labor for his army.After arranging the other military officers, at the end she asked Wu Shigong to lend all the chariots and musketeers to Qin Liangyu to attack the city.He also seconded Shumo to his side as a consultant.

The task Qin Liangyu assigned to Wu Shigong was to intercept the reinforcements of the Hou Jin Army.Wu Shigong will lead the remaining 350 infantry, [-] soldiers drawn from other thousand households, and all Wu Shigong's own cavalry who can't ride [-] to stop the reinforcements.

All the cavalry of the white pole soldiers will be divided into small groups to scout around to prevent the surprise attack of the reinforcements of the later Jin army.

Now, the firecrackers in Wu Shigong's hands are only 150 medium-sized firecrackers owned by the cavalry.And Wu Shigong will line up six or seven miles away from Luanzhou City to prevent the white-armed soldiers from the later Jin army from raiding the city.

Here to explain.Why didn't the main force of Amin's Hou Jin army go directly to rescue Luanzhou City at that time, but bypassed Qin Liangyu's army to intercept the main force of the Ming army led by Zu Dashou?

This is because the main purpose of the Hou Jin Army was to prevent the six red cannons from attacking Luanzhou City.Besides, if Amin led the main force of the Houjin army to join the Houjin army in Luanzhou City and wanted to fight Qin Liangyu in the field, Qin Liangyu would never fight against the Houjin army when he was at a disadvantage.She will definitely return to her camp as soon as the spies send back the news.At most, it is the loss of some siege equipment.

And using the cavalry of the Jin army to attack Qin Liangyu's strong camp, thinking about it, it is not worth the loss.At that time, the main force of the Ming army led by Zu Dashou came up with six red-clothed cannons. Maybe Amin retreated to the city of Luanzhou, and received the baptism of the red-clothed cannonballs with Namutai's Hou Jin army?Then it is a stupid battle, a stupid battle.

On the first day, Qin Liangyu's attack on Luanzhou City was a little superficial.She just sent a few small groups of white soldiers, carrying ladders, to tentatively attack several city walls.And when the Houjin army was about to resist on the city wall, the white soldiers immediately retreated and let the musketeers hiding behind the cart shoot, in order to consume the strength of the Houjin army.

Qin Liangyu also observed the temptations again and again, trying to find the weak points of the defense on the city wall.After the Jin army suffered several losses, they also shrank behind the city wall, not daring to show their heads easily.Only after the white-armed soldiers climbed the ladder did they stand up to shoot arrows and throw stones.And when the Jin army got up, they were often shot by firecrackers again.Therefore, the defense of the Hou Jin army was quite difficult.

However, Qin Liangyu did not take advantage of the embarrassment of the Jin army to launch a general offensive.She just wore down the strength of the Houjin army time and time again, hitting the patience of the Houjin army.For Qin Liangyu, before the general offensive was launched, it was necessary to consume as many troops as possible of the Jin army and attack the psychology of the soldiers of the Jin army. It was necessary to reduce the casualties of the white soldiers when attacking the city.

And Wu Shigong was doing nothing all day long.He was just busy training his soldiers.Because the [-] soldiers received the most basic military training during the two-month march.However, Wu Shigong still used the last bit of time to let them master the tactics of infantry defending cavalry.

Wu Shigong drew 150 people from his own infantry, and assigned all the firecrackers of his own cavalry to them, making them temporary firecrackers.This is also the benefit of Wu Shigong requiring every soldier to master the shooting technique of firecrackers in the past.

Of course, the shooting skills of these temporary gunners are not so proficient.Moreover, the range of this medium-sized firecracker is only fifty steps, so Wu Shigong didn't ask these firecrackers to do three-stage or five-stage shots.It is only necessary for them to fire a round of firecrackers in unison, which can effectively defeat the cavalry formation that the Jin army charged after thinning out.

Wu Shigong divided all the infantry into two teams. The first team consisted of the remaining [-] infantry from his own thousand households and [-] soldiers from other thousand households, forming a square formation.Commanded by Zhou Xun.

The other team was composed of [-] soldiers drawn from the remaining thousand households to form a square formation, commanded by Yu Jilai.

Wu Shigong himself led all the cavalry behind the two phalanxes.

Wu Shigong thought so, if the reinforcements of the Hou Jin army wanted to attack the front phalanx, then he would definitely attack the smaller phalanx.And the first few rows of this phalanx are all soldiers from Wu Shigong's own Qianhu Institute. They have all received military training for about a year, but their combat effectiveness is relatively strong.

If reinforcements from the Houjin Army arrive, they will first pass through the shooting of the frontmost musketeers, then pass through the obstacles of the phalanx, and finally their own cavalry will attack again.At least in this way, it can effectively delay the reinforcements of the Later Jin Army from going to Luanzhou City.

Of course, Wu Shigong would not give up his soldier's specialty in defense. He asked his soldiers to cut down some trees and build a row of wooden fences in front of the phalanx.Because Wu Shigong is located on a road that must be passed from the direction of Yongping City to Luanzhou City.But Wu Shigong waited like this for a whole day, but he didn't even see the shadow of Jin Jun.

The next day Qin Liangyu was still testing patiently, and Wu Shigong was still waiting boredly.Still the same on the third day.

On the night of the third day, Qin Liangyu summoned all the military officers and ordered: "Tomorrow, all the generals will need to work hard to take down Luanzhou City in one go."

And just these days, more than 100 people have been killed and injured by firecrackers in Luanzhou City. The feeling of cutting flesh with a blunt knife made every soldier of the Houjin Army feel extremely uncomfortable.

Especially those Ming soldiers who surrendered, as the third-class soldiers in Luanzhou City, they were naturally arranged on the front line of the city wall.So the daily casualties are also the largest.If it weren't for the bannermen with the blue flag staring at them behind them, they would have already collapsed.But even so, the morale of these Ming troops who surrendered still fell to the bottom.

At this time, Amin, who led the main force of the Houjin army, also received battle reports from Luanzhou City.It never occurred to him that Qin Liangyu would forcibly attack Luanzhou City regardless of the red cannons of the Ming army not arriving.What is even more worrying is that in Luanzhou City, the casualties of the Hou Jin army were so large, and the hope of defending Luanzhou City is not very optimistic.

This put Amin in a dilemma.Now that Amin entangles the main force of the Ming army led by Zu Dashou, it will be useless.He now has only two options: one is: lead the main force of the Houjin Army to rescue Luanzhou City.But if you do that, the Hou Jin army will also fall into the predicament mentioned above. The main force of the Ming army who was forced to come up bombarded it with red cannons, causing heavy casualties.

The other is: delaying the speed of the Ming army's capture of Luanzhou City, Amin led the main force of the Houjin Army back to Yongping City, and transported the people and property looted by the Xianglan Banner in Yongping City to outside the pass.

Amin thought about it carefully, and decided to choose the second option.Because he estimated that the Ming army had the red cannons, and the four cities of Yongping would not be able to keep them.The fall is nothing more than a matter of time.

In this case, there is no need to let the flag Ding of the Xianglan flag be lost in vain.So Amin immediately called Baduli over.

Baduli stepped forward, immediately called Amin a thousand, and said, "Greetings to Lord Belle, what's the matter with Lord Belle calling you a slave?"

Amin told Baduli: "You immediately take three Niulu soldiers to rescue Luanzhou City. Remember, if you have the opportunity, you can make an impact and defeat the Ming army. It is best if you can't do anything , you have to drag the Ming army as much as possible, so that we have time to withdraw from Yongping City with our population and property."

Baduri immediately replied: "Check!"

On the morning of the fourth day, Qin Liangyu officially began to attack the city.Wu Shigong still reached the position where the Jin army's reinforcements were intercepted.At this time, Baduli also led three Niulu and nearly [-] banner men to set off to rescue Luanzhou City.
