Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

"Not so fast! I still have to stay in the personal army for a while." Zhao Gan replied with a smile.

"Then I will call you an adult when I see you in the future."

"Brother Cheng! You're going to kill me. After all, I'm a soldier you led before." Zhao Gan said politely with a smile, "I have my life, so I'll go first. In fact, Brother Cheng also has a chance to make meritorious service today. I'm waiting for you in the personal army. Wansheng!"

"Wan Sheng!" The surrounding soldiers also shouted in unison.

After walking a certain distance, Zhao Gan introduced to the team members behind him: "Brother Cheng took me when I joined the army. He cared about me very much. He is my old boss."

Meanwhile, Oh Se-gong is donning his armor with the help of his guards.This pair of armor was specially made by the workshop director. It was shining with silvery white light from top to bottom. The armor plates were also polished to fit perfectly, and the joints were quite flexible, which looked particularly beautiful.It’s just that it’s troublesome to wear, and you need someone else to help you.

Wu Shigong, who was wrapped up layer by layer, was already sweating a little.He complained: "The spring is cold! The spring is cold! Why is this spring so hot?"

"My lord!" Chi Ming said with a smile on the side, "Just now I walked around outside the tent, it was quite cold outside. And the weather is quite gloomy today, not a good weather. Maybe you are wearing too much clothes Already, my lord, just be patient!"

"You guys! It seems that you are afraid that I will get hurt, so you can't wait to wrap me up with iron blocks. I wear two layers of padded armor inside. Is it necessary? With your protection, I won't encounter any danger." Wu Shigong said with a smile . [

Chi Ming and the others laughed "hee hee" without distinguishing, they still put on the armor for Wu Shigong.It wasn't until he finished dressing that Wu Shigong was finally put on a big red cape.

Wu Shigong walked a few steps with his armor on, and muttered, "It's too heavy!" Hearing Chi Ming and the others laughing.Wu Shigong joked again: "Today it will be hard for people to go crazy." Chi Ming and the others couldn't bear it anymore, and there was a burst of cheerful laughter in the tent.

"What's going on with the Tartars?" Wu Shigong asked again.

Chi Ming immediately put away his smile, stood at attention and reported: "The scout sentry has reported back, and there is also smoke rising from the camp of the Tatars. They will definitely go out to fight today."

"That's good! Let's make a break with the Tartars today!" After finishing speaking, Wu Shigong walked out of the big tent first.

Although the sky has brightened, the thick clouds still cover the sky tightly.The humidity in the air is very high. Although it is early spring, all the people and horses feel sticky.

The Runing Army and the Qing Army marched in opposite directions and approached the battlefield.The two armies continued to send out scouts to spy on the other side's march from afar.They also kept driving away the opponent's scouts.But at this time, there are very few battles between scouts and cavalry. Often, one side avoids, and the other side stops chasing. Maybe this is the tranquility before the war!

At this point, there is no need for intrigue.The two sides had to put on a good posture and engage in a hard battle.So let's go to the battlefield to line up honestly!

The atmosphere during the march was rather dull.The array time is also quite long.But relatively speaking, the Qing army moved faster.This is also the advantage of having more cavalry, which can quickly deploy troops.

However, the movement of the Runing Army is not slow. Years of queue training have made the deployment of the Runing Army orderly, and there is no disorder at all. It does not give the Qing Army any chance to launch a surprise attack while its troops are not fully deployed. .

But at this time, the psychological advantage of the Qing army became even more obvious.The number is dominant.[-] versus [-]; the geographical advantage of the battlefield is an open field, which is conducive to the cavalry charge; the deployment of the formation is also faster than that of the Runing Army.So the Qing army is also a little eager to try.

"My lord! Do you want to send some sons to tease the Ming army?" Tuberi asked Dorgon.

Tuberi's purpose is to send some cavalry from the Qing army to challenge the two armies in front of the formation, and interfere with the formation of the Runing army.

If the Runing army is really messed up by these provocative Qing troops.The Qing army happened to be able to follow up the attack with the whole army.Such a great victory delivered to the door is not in vain.

If the Runing Army can hold its ground, it would be best to tease out the cavalry of the Runing Army.If this small-scale battle can be won in front of the two armies, it will be of great benefit to the morale of the Qing army.It is also possible to further consume some of the cavalry of the Runing Army. After the formal battle between the two armies, the gap in the number of cavalry between the two sides will be even greater.From the beginning to the end, Tuberi never thought that the Qing army would be defeated in this battle. [

Dorgon frowned and remained silent, as if he didn't hear Tuberi's question.Tuberi waited quietly for a while. He was very familiar with Dorgon's temper, so he knew that Dorgon had acquiesced, so he immediately nodded to the captain in front of him.

With a whistle, more than 200 Qing cavalry immediately rushed to the front of the formation.These were carefully selected from the Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners. They were capable of single-handed fighting, and they began to make provocative movements.

Some cavalrymen of the Qing army began to drive their horses, doing acrobatic moves that can only be seen in modern circuses; To attract the cavalry of the Runing Army, the applause from the Qing army resounded through the sky, constantly cheering for their warriors.

But at this time, the formation of the Runing Army maintained an eerie tranquility.Under the scolding of the officers, the soldiers of the Runing Army were still quickly standing in their positions, while the cavalry on both sides of the formation also watched the Qing army juggling in front of the formation without moving, and did not go out to fight with the Qing army at all. mean.

Dorgon also had a smile on his face when he watched the performance of his bannermen at the beginning, but when he saw the reaction of the Runing Army, he immediately became serious.Because Dorgon saw the demeanor of a strong army, that is discipline!

"Where did this Ming army come from?" Dorgon asked.

"Go back to your lord! Look at the flag, it's Runing's commander-in-chief—Wu! It should be the Ming army in the hinterland of Henan!" Tuberi replied.

"My surname is Wu? I've never heard of it!" The generals of the Qing army immediately chattered.

Dorgon is also very strange, and the secret agents of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the pass have never introduced this Ming army.That is to say, Wu Shigong has been suppressed by the court all the time, and he has been keeping a low profile, so the reputation of Wu Shigong and the Runing Army has not been obvious to the outside world.

"My lord! Is this Ming army just a show? You see! They lined up like a ruler. It took so much effort to practice this, maybe the kung fu of swords and horses is not very strong." Tuberi said .

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Dorgon immediately scolded, "It's almost a war, and you still underestimate the enemy. If you say this again, be careful that I will whip you!"

In fact, Dorgon has already judged that the combat effectiveness of the Runing Army must not be underestimated.If you just look at the strangulation battle, you can barely say that the spies of the Runing Army are all elites, so it also explains why the spies of the Runing Army fought bravely, but the entire army may not be so strong.

But the subsequent change of direction surprised Dorgon.This change of direction movement has high requirements on the discipline and organization of the troops.Especially the night march and the long-term rapid march, it shows that this Ming army is well-trained and has abundant physical strength.

When seeing this Ming army taking the initiative to fight today and maintaining a stable mentality under the provocation of the Qing army, Dorgon knew that he was going to face a hard battle.There is no luck in the battle. An army with such a psychological quality must have strong confidence in the combat effectiveness of its own troops.But did the coach of the Ming army really think that he could defeat his own nation's athletes?

Dorgon couldn't help but sneered, thinking that the coach of the Ming army on the opposite side must be wishful thinking.How many famous generals and great armies of the Ming Dynasty fell under the knife of the Qing army. Could it be that an inland Ming army that is not a frontier army is still trying to block its way to victory?

At this time, Dorgon's personal soldiers also galloped towards the two wings.The deployment of tens of thousands of troops is quite wide, and the commander of the first army can't see the edge of the two sides at all, so this kind of scout is needed to observe the situation on both sides of the enemy.

Soon, the personal soldiers who were exploring cavalry reported back, and they first reported back the number of soldiers in the Runing Army.In fact, the number of the Runing Army is quite good. Today's Runing Army is to place two infantry associations one behind the other, and the three infantry regiments of each association are placed in the left, middle, and right three lanes, forming a two-by-three, six A phalanx of thousands of people, and a cavalry association plus a cavalry battalion are divided into two teams, guarding both sides of the phalanx.

The Artillery Association is placed in the passage between the two Xiehe three-way phalanxes at the front and back, and has not yet been placed in front of the formation.The fallen Chinese army consisted of 500 soldiers from Wu Shigong's personal army and 500 soldiers from Li Lu.

However, as more and more news came back from both sides, Dorgon suddenly learned that a Ming army had ambushed on the hill on the east side.

This made Dorgon's heart thump. He didn't expect that the Ming army on the opposite side had already been prepared and had already taken a step ahead to limit his attack from the east.But Dorgon thought about it again, his army still had an absolute advantage, even if it only attacked from the middle and west, it could completely defeat the Ming army in front of it.

Dorgon straightened his back slowly, looked at the formation of the Runing Army in the distance, and also saw his son Lang in front of the formation constantly shouting.

Dorgon's heart was full of pride: "You want to fight! Then fight! I'll show you my king's thunderous blow."

The dark clouds on the battlefield seemed to thicken immediately, and the two armies were like two beasts ready to attack.It was a confrontation between lions and lions, and the most brilliant fighting sparks were about to burst out on the battlefield. (to be continued...)
