Chapter 90 Cavalry Battalion Out
The battle outside was already full of energy, and Man Gui actually made a suggestion for training troops. Not only did Emperor Chongzhen feel a little surprised, but even his old boss Sun Chengzong frowned.
"Man Jingluo, Jiannu has already arrived at the city. Is it still time to train troops now?" Wen Tiren's army was not good at going to the army, and Zhou Yanru had to go into battle. He did not show obvious hostility like Wen Tiren, but raised objections very kindly.
"Return to Master Zhou, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from inside and outside the capital are now considered to be more than the Jiannu's army. In fact, the combat power is uneven and uninherited, and there is no way to play the advantage of numbers. The officials felt that it would be better to select warriors from these soldiers to form a new recruit and concentrate their combat power. It is much better than a loose sand now." Man Gui really didn't want to fight rashly. If he was the position of Sun Chengzong, Man Gui would let Jiannu attack the city, use artillery crossbows to weaken Jiannu, and finally use cavalry to defeat him.
Unfortunately, Mangui was not Sun Chengzong, and even Emperor Chongzhen could not agree to this tactic. This was equivalent to betting on the Ming Dynasty. Mangui could afford to bet on Emperor Chongzhen.
"Man Jingluo's idea is good, but we have to look at the situation. The food and grass stored in the city may not be able to support Man Jingluo's idea." Zhou Yanru did not look for trouble with nothing, but used practical difficulties to block Man Gui's mouth. Man Gui secretly looked at Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Revenue, and found that the Ming Dynasty God of Wealth with a bitter face was more like a declining god.
Man Gui just came back, but he didn't know so many top secrets. Seeing Zhou Yanru's words, no one refuted them, so he could only think about trying to protect himself after leaving the city. He didn't want to lose his official position just now because of a defeat.
In fact, Man Guiken took the initiative to stand up and made many people feel relieved, especially several ministers who knew the military strategy. Jiannu could suppress Sun Chengzong's Super Biao Battalion and Ningyuan Army's infantry. There were hundreds of thousands of troops inside and outside the capital, and only the cavalry barracks could give them some confidence.
On December 21, the Dubiao Camp and Ningyuan Army relied on the broken camp to withstand the attack on the third day. During these three days, the first day, both sides tried each other and suffered no losses. The next day, Jiannu paid nearly a thousand elites to break the camp. In order to compete for this gap, the two sides each died and injured nearly 3,000 people. On the third day, the Jiannu continued yesterday's tactics, and Jiannu found a way to break the fence and the Ming army found a way to protect the fence.
The Zhengbai Banner led by Ajige was almost destroyed, and Yuetuo's 4,000 infantry was left, and nearly 1,000 cavalrymen were also lost. The first wave of attacks in Dajin officially ended, and the price of losing all the elites of the three flags. The Ming army could get such brilliant results, of course, it would also have to bleed. The Ningyuan Army had less than 30% of the infantry left, and the Supervisor Battalion had only 4,000 cavalry left. As the defensive party, the loss was even greater than the attacking party. It has to be said that the Ming Dynasty's weak martial arts policy was implemented thoroughly.
The cavalry camp led by Man Gui took advantage of the night to leave the city and came to the dilapidated Chaoyang Gate Camp. When Man Gui saw Ma Shilong who was still commanding his soldiers to repair the camp overnight, he couldn't help but feel chill in his heart. Ma Shilong four days ago was still a mighty man, and Ma Shilong's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes and his eyes were blackened. He could tell at a glance that he hadn't slept for several days. What moved Man Gui the most was that there were several bloodstains on Ma Shilong's body. As the commander of the first army, Ma Shilong actually charged forward, indicating that the army was almost finished.
"Governor Ma, why are you like this?" Man Gui has been watching the battle these days. Although he cannot see it very clearly due to distance, he can still see the Double Liberation Battle Formation. The Super Bian Battalion has at least thousands of people. How could he let Ma Shilong get into several disasters?
"I have seen Master Jingliu, but the official was accidentally shot by Jiannu. It's just a trivial matter." Ma Shilong looked very tired but in good spirits. Except for the serious injury, everything in the camp was busy, because Sun Chengzong gave the Dubiao Camp and the Ningyuan Army's infantry the last order, which was to let them repair the camp and return to the city to rest. It would be fine to leave this ghost-like Chaoyang Gate Camp and build a new camp for the cavalry camp.
"The lower-ranking official Wang Chengyin paid a visit to Wu Zhengluo." Wang Chengyin looked slightly better than Ma Shilong, at least he did not see any red. In fact, in order to let the Ningyuan Army infantry assist the Supervisor Battalion to defend the camp, Wang Chengyin racked his brains and tried his best. Ma Shilong was at most trauma, and Wang Chengyin was also mentally trauma.
"You don't have to be polite, let's talk inside." When the court was held yesterday, Man Gui was thinking that the two armies joined forces to fight the enemy, and today they no longer had fantasies to live. He clearly saw on the city that if it weren't for the last cavalry of Jiannu, the thousands of cavalry of the Superbiao camp would not have been standing in front of him completely.
The Ming army was handing over, and the Dajin was also conducting post-war discussions. "Yuetuo, Ajige, you don't have to worry about weakening your combat power. The arrest of the Jurchen next year will be left to you. How many Jurchens will be captured belong to your three flags." Huang Taiji generously rewarded the Jurchens for one year and gave them to two little Beller who tried their best.
The two white flags and the red flags inlaid with red flags were 80% of the elite, but Huang Taiji did not have a trace of happiness in his heart. It is one thing to maintain the deterrent power of the two yellow flags, and it is another thing to completely endure the other six flags. Huang Taiji could not tolerate other people's strength being greater than himself, but he was not idiot enough to destroy the other six flags. Not to mention the six flags, even if one flag was eliminated, it would be a disaster for the Great Jin Kingdom.
The Great Jin Kingdom is not as powerful as Huang Taiji's propaganda. Although he conquered North Korea the previous year, Huang Taiji knew that no one from North Korea, from the king to the people, was truly obedient to the Great Jin Kingdom. As long as the Great Jin Kingdom showed a little fatigue, North Korea would immediately surrender to the Ming Dynasty and the Great Jin Kingdom.
The eastern part of the Great Jin Dynasty was uneasy and the western part was not optimistic. Last year, Huang Taiji personally fought for Chahar. Although he did not take down Lin Dankhan in one fell swoop, he plundered a large number of livestock and conquered Khorqin, Kalaqin, Aohan, Naiman and Khalkha tribes, expanding the sphere of influence of the Great Jin Dynasty in the southern desert. However, the Tumote tribe and Lin Dankhan were very friendly to the Great Jin Dynasty, and with the intention of making a profit on both sides, Huang Taiji was as if he could see the fire. But he could not make ground before destroying or conquering Lin Dankhan. Once he did this, all Mongolian tribes who submitted to the Great Jin Dynasty would definitely be in a vest. At that time, the Great Jin Dynasty led by him would go back to the old path of his father Khan Nurhaci, and fight on all sides to the enemy.
In such a sensitive period, if the Eight Banners were severely frustrated, Huang Taiji could imagine that it would not take long before the Tumot tribe would lead Lin Dan Khan troops to Shengjing, and North Korea would take the opportunity to resist and stare at the Liaodong area. This is not what Huang Taiji wants, nor is it the result he can bear.
After appeaseing Yue Tou and Ajige, Huang Taiji looked at Dai Shan and Amin. The two of them put their heads expressionlessly, and did not intend to express their opinions. "Jirgalang, tomorrow you will lead 20,000 forwards to defeat the enemy, and you must take down the Ming army camp." Huang Taiji knew what the two guys were thinking, so Huang Taiji did not intend to waste saliva on them, and directly ordered Jirgalang to lead the strongest combat power to the battle.
"Tuzetu Khan's tribe and Subudi tribes, and the three Tumot tribes followed Jirgalang to show off the power of the Golden Family." Huang Taiji was not afraid of being laughed at. After sending the strongest forward battalion, he found a companion for the forward battalion and ordered three Mongolian tribes who had followed the pass to lead troops to fight.
On December 22, 20,000 vanguard cavalry and 10,000 Mongolian cavalry rushed out of the camp and lined up outside Chaoyang Gate. Mangui looked at the powerful Jiannu battle formation and silently turned around and walked back to the camp. The battle plan to go out last night had been cancelled by him.
"Brother Wu, these Jiannu seem to be difficult to deal with." Xue Bao's battle formation experience is the worst among the many generals of the cavalry camp. Well, if the military supervisor Gao Qiqian doesn't count. Even he can see the depth of the enemy, how could others not see it?
"Xue Bao, you are not allowed to speak after entering the big tent later, remember!" Wu Weiying warned Xue Bao with a cold expression that he could not let this brother in the family. But all this is not in his control. It only depends on God.
"The rear army is on guard, and the guard guards speed up their movements." Although the guard guards were not incorporated into the cavalry camp, no one ordered them to leave. Therefore, You Shiwei was promoted to the governor of the right army of the Wu Army Governor's Office and replaced Sun Zushou's position. His guard guards temporarily became Sun Zushou's subordinates and listened to them in the cavalry camp. Now the guard guards were sweating profusely in the camp outside Chaoyang Gate, and their former boss stood on the Chaoyang Gate to watch the battle. I wonder what the governor of You Shiwei's right army was thinking at this time.
Sun Zushou's rear camp was no longer a few men. During the rest of the capital, the Ministry of War assigned all the scattered soldiers from Changping to Sun Zushou. After a round of selection, the later camp expanded from 2,000 to 4,000, and was also the only troops in the cavalry camp to be supplemented by soldiers. The central army, which belonged directly to Mangui, was still an empty shell. Mangui's personal guards were temporarily held by some Mangui relatives in Beijing, with a total of less than 200 people.
When the rear military camp was still brave in Changping, it was already designated as an auxiliary soldier by Zhou Shixiong. He was responsible for long-range attacks during defense and cleaned up the battlefield during attack. The transportation tasks that originally belonged to them were handed over to Shen Fu's chariot battalion, and the civil engineering project was transferred to the guard guards. The rear military camp was officially a full-time crossbow battalion.
Behind it is the capital city, and there is no need to worry about the supply of various materials. Although Jiannu's powerful combat power brought some pressure to Sun Zushou, Sun Zushou did not care too much. He carefully arranged the work of the rear military camp before entering the big tent to participate in the military convention.
"Boom boom boom boom!" Sun Zushou walked into the tent and saw the military supervisor Gao Qiqian saying something excitedly, but the cannons on the city wall sounded, suppressing all the sounds, allowing him to see a strange picture. Gao Qiqian was blushing and his neck was thick, and he kept opening his mouth, but he couldn't hear a word.
