Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Wu Shigong was going to put Chi Ming and Huang Ding down to serve as commanders after the battle was over.But in this way, the main and deputy commanders of his own soldiers will be vacant again.

Wu Shigong immediately thought of a candidate, and that was Wei Feng, the current commander of the boy camp.However, this adopted son who grew up in his inner house has absolutely no problem in terms of loyalty, but he is really too young, only in his early 16s.Wu Shigong was still a little worried, and at most arranged him as a deputy to train him for a few more years.

Wu Shigong thought about the candidates again, and finally decided to use Xue Zhinong.Although Shanchuan Division is very important, it has now entered a stable period.And if Xue Zhinong kept going in the intelligence circle, he would have to die of old age as the director of the Shanchuan Department.

But for the first batch of people who followed him, Wu Shigong still wanted to give them a chance.So it was decided to let Xue Zhinong become the leader of the personal army!Let him come to his side to learn more about civil and military affairs, so that whether he develops in the army or becomes an official in a local area, he will have room for advancement.

However, such a long-term siege also makes people feel particularly boring.After thinking about the backup candidates for the chief and deputy commanders of the personal army, Wu Shigong finally let go of one thing on his mind.

And now the Runing Army can't spare the besieged troops to support Xue Yongli's troops in Heze and Xuzhou, because Zuo Liangyu's troops are still eyeing them; Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Army has not gone far, and may come anytime There is also the Ming army in Fengyang. Although they have been standing still until now, they always make people feel a little scrupulous.Therefore, the Runing Army still needs to maintain enough troops in Wuchang City to deter nearby enemy and friendly troops.

But thinking about it this way also opened Wu Shigong's mind.Is it possible to transfer some recruits from Runing, and then exchange some main forces from Wuchang City to go north for support?After careful consideration, Wu Shigong felt that this idea was indeed feasible.

But go north to support the troops.If you want to go straight, you must pass through Fengyang.Therefore, it is also necessary to greet the Fengyang government in advance.At this time, Wu Shigong thought of Ruan Dacheng, and wanted to inform Ruan Dacheng to write to his friend, Fengyang governor Ma Shiying.Coupled with the private friendship between Wu Shigong and Fengyang Deputy General Yan Dingshan, it should be possible to do it by taking advantage of the way!But it's not too late for this matter, we have to arrange some people to run errands as soon as possible.

However, just surrounding Wuchang City like this really made people feel a little bored, so Wu Shigong, who was extremely bored, suddenly ordered loudly: "Notify the artillery team and let them fire a few cannonballs into the city."

……

What an annoyance!I don't know when the stalemate in Wuchang City will be broken!

"Dangdangdangdang!", the sound of gold ringing sounded, and both the Runing army and the Qing army retreated back to the formation at the same time.Although today is another day of fierce fighting.But there were only more than 200 fallen corpses in the formation, which shows how much water there is in this "fierce battle".

Xue Yongli frowned tightly, watching the retreat of the Qing army.Today is already the sixth day, but the Runing army still has not repelled the Qing army on the opposite side.Xue Yongli felt hot and angry these days, and some small blisters appeared at the corners of his mouth.

When the second day of February.Xue Yongli led the Runing Army to four towns.When nearly [-] soldiers and horses rushed to Juye County, they encountered Duoduo's [-] Qing army partial division.Immediately afterwards, the two sides launched troops to engage in battle.However, in the face of the Runing Army pushing up all the way, the Qing Army maintained an indifferent posture. They kept fighting with the Runing Army, but they never had a full-scale battle with the Runing Army.

Since one of the targets of the Qing army's entry this time was the Runing Army, they certainly analyzed the tactics of the Runing Army.Before the expedition.Huang Taiji once collected the past battle cases of the Runing Army, and summoned a large number of Qing army soldiers who had fought against the Runing Army, and carefully analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the Runing Army, in order to find a way to defeat the Runing Army.

At the end.Huang Taiji and the others discovered that if they confronted the Runing army head-on, it would be difficult for the Qing army to gain the upper hand.However, the Runing Army has a big weakness, that is, its mobility is too poor.

Obviously, the firearm tactics of the Runing Army at this time were based on the Western firearm phalanx of the same period.They were all born out of the famous Spanish phalanx at that time, and they should be a relatively advanced firearm tactic at that time.However, this kind of firearm tactics has a big disadvantage, that is, it does not take into account the combat environments of the East and the West at all.

In the West, because there are many castles and the feudal lords have small territories, it is easy for the two armies to fight in the event of a war.At this time, the infantry only needs to consider how to deal with the charge of the enemy cavalry, and does not need to consider the large-scale transfer of the enemy cavalry.Because firstly, there is no room for large-scale transfer, and secondly, the enemy always has to prevent the safety of the castle behind them, so the high-speed maneuvering of the cavalry and the slow movement of the infantry are no longer a big problem.

But the combat environment in the East is completely different.

First of all, every time the Qing army dispatched, there were tens of thousands, or even 10,000+ cavalry.However, in the history of Western warfare, there is no case of facing such a large cavalry group, so it is impossible to invent any corresponding tactics;

Secondly, on the vast Northeast, North China Plain, and Northwest Plateau, the cavalry groups of the Qing army could maneuver in a large range, bypassing the key areas of the Central Plains army's defense, and looking for weak points to break through, so as to avoid the reality and make a breakthrough.However, it is difficult for the Central Plains army to deal with this tactic.Isn't it necessary to place a long row of firearms along the Great Wall and wait for the Qing army to attack?

Finally, after the Qing army entered the pass, they fought completely in the enemy-occupied areas. They didn't need to worry about their own cities in Liaodong, and they could also plunder on the spot, and they didn't need to worry about their own food supply.In addition, the Ming army was huddled in the city and focused on protecting itself, and no army dared to take the initiative to attack, so the Qing army did not need to worry about its own retreat.In this way, the Qing army can completely bypass the Runing Army, which is waiting in full force, and will not fight the main force of the Runing Army, but only attack areas and cities that the Runing Army cannot take care of.

The Duoduo tribe that Xue Yongli faced was basically a partial division of the Qing army. Their original goal was not to defeat the Runing Army of Xue Yongli's tribe, but to delay Xue Yongli's tribe in place until Huang Taiji's Qing Dynasty. After the main force of the army broke through Xuzhou, it bypassed Weishan Lake, and then attacked the main force of the Runing army from both sides.

However, Xue Yongli's department did not dare to relax at all. They wanted to control the passage from the Yellow River to Weishan Lake, and they did not dare to let the Qing army of Duoduo's department break into the hinterland of Henan.So facing the [-] Qing army, Xue Yongli did not dare to mobilize too many troops to Xuzhou.
