Chapter 1374 The confidence from Wu Zhenchaoha!(1/2)
~~~~~~
After a night's rest, the Ming army continued its steady bulldozing offensive with more than 10,000 men early the next morning.
Huang Taiji is watertight, and Li Yuanqing is naturally not as good as Meng Lang.
The Ming army's bulldozing offensive was very rigorous.
Instead of using the more than one mile of ravine that was filled yesterday to move forward, they continued to stabilize the ravine, using the more than one mile of ravine that was filled in the middle as the core to steadily spread toward both ends.
It is now approaching the end of November.
Depending on the weather at this time, even if water is poured directly into this wide and deep ravine, solid ice will definitely be formed in most of the night, not to mention overnight. This is a very time-saving and energy-saving method of advancement.
But Li Yuanqing did not choose such a 'shortcut'.
It is different from the later Jin army's attack on the Ming army.
When the Jin army advanced the Ming army's fortifications, they took advantage of the Ming army's powerful firepower. While filling in the fortifications, they built a large number of high and low staggered earth walls to defend against the Ming army's various firepower.
After all, siege cavalry is not very effective, they can only rely on elite infantry.
But at this time, the fortifications filled in by the Ming army were completely flattened and compacted firmly, without leaving too many potholes and ravines.
Because Li Yuanqing knew very well that it was useless to fight against nomads like the Hou Jin Army and only care about the gains and losses of this city and one place.
As long as they cannot defeat the main force of the Jin army, they can still make a comeback the next day.
It's like Taizu's core understanding of guerrilla warfare: "Fight the enemy's vitality, preserve yourself, and develop yourself."
But with the previous Battle of Pinggu and the Battle of Haizhou, including a series of earlier battles, the Hou Jin Army almost never got any advantage in the battle against Li Yuanqing and the soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion.
Now, if you want to force Huang Taiji to use his core mobile combat power and come out for a decisive battle, it will obviously not be easy.
But Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry.
With the huge shipping capacity of Changsheng Island, including the fact that Li Yuanqing still has the support of the imperial court at this time, and the unique location advantage of Changsheng Island, Li Yuanqing does not have to worry about his hometown Changsheng Island being taken away.
But on Huang Taiji's side, I'm afraid it might not be so appropriate.
During the Battle of Pinggu, they indeed looted a lot when they entered the customs, but more than 100,000 female dependents and a large amount of materials went into Li Yuanqing's pocket.
In the Battle of Haizhou, Li Yuanqing almost wiped out the Xianglan Banner and Xianghong Banner, and Huang Taiji finally had to retreat without a fight.
At this time, Li Yuanqing was approaching the hinterland of Anshan Fort and was about to reach Liaoyang City, the former capital of Dajin. How could Huang Taiji not be under pressure?
You must know that the nomads who relied on Hou Jin, even the lowest armored people, were just like Hou Jin, with tribes as their core.
When the Hou Jin Army was prosperous, they were indeed afraid of the Hou Jin Army's combat power, but~~, they continued to follow the Hou Jin Army, not to mention that they couldn't get any oil or water, and they suffered frequent defeats...
How could these leaders have no ideas?
Who the hell would be willing to accompany a dynasty in decline and send their family to death?
Time soon came to midnight, it was already past ten o'clock, the Ming army had filled in the ravine for almost two miles, but there was still no movement from the Jin army.
It was as if they were all ground rats, completely buried in the mud.
On the Ming army's subjective battle stage, Chen Zhong frowned tightly, took a sip from the cigar in his hand and said, "Yuan Qing, look at this, Huang Taiji, this little son of a bitch, has no intention of taking any action. What's wrong? He was thinking
Let’s fill up this ravine, will you come out and fight for your life with us?”
Li Yuanqing smiled: "Brother, it would be great if this turtle like Huang Taiji is willing to rush out the main force, and we will save a lot of energy. 80% of the time, this guy is watching us."
Chen Zhong understood what Li Yuanqing meant for a moment and laughed loudly: "Yuanqing, what's the old saying? Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river. At this time, our camp is set up here, surrounded by a
Flat ground. But what's wrong? Huang Taiji just doesn't dare to come out and fight with us!"
Li Yuanqing also laughed heartily and happily.
In the past ten years, politically, Li Yuanqing may have been as mature as Meng Lang. But, in the military, after ten years of tests of blood and fire, his eyes and his entire thinking have long been like this burning
Blood and fire, completely integrated!
"Brother, it's a good thing they don't come out. Brothers can work more easily. By the way, brother, Jin Shiqi, Yao Yu, when will they arrive?"
"They left Haizhou yesterday. I guess they will arrive in the evening at the latest." Chen Zhong chuckled.
Ever since he and Li Yuanqing, two old brothers, launched a decisive offensive against the Houjin hinterland with "extreme evil", anyone who could have some connection with Li Yuanqing wanted to come and get a piece of the pie.
However, Li Yuanqing has always had reservations.
In addition to Jin Guan, old connections like Yao Fumin, including Zuo Fu, Zhu Mei, Wu Xiang and his son, and even Liu Xingzuo, Li Yuanqing declined their requests.
After all, the war has just begun at this time, the entire situation is still unclear, and it is far from the time to "cut the meat to feed the eagle".
But Chen Zhong understands very well that the general trend of the world has been completely picked up by his brothers and placed firmly on his shoulders. I'm afraid, as long as the war in Anshan Fort is spread, it will be the bastards of Gouri's ancestral family.
, and can’t sit still.
As soon as the two brothers finished speaking, a soldier came over behind them and reported: "Commander, Chen Shuai. The main force of Jin Shiqi and Yao Yu has arrived five miles away and will be here soon. Vice General Zhang and Chen
The main force of the deputy general has also arrived at Haizhou City and is expected to arrive tomorrow."
Chen Zhong laughed loudly: "Yuan Qing, what did I say? Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!"
Li Yuanqing also laughed.
The world is turbulent and the troops are moving in all directions!
It was Li Yuanqing who stirred up the general trend. The generals around him gave Li Yuanqing face, so Li Yuanqing naturally wanted to continue.
"Brother, although Jin Shiqi and Yao Yu are just stupid kids, we can't neglect them. Brother, please work harder and help me run a trip."
How could Chen Zhong not understand what Li Yuanqing meant? He laughed and said, "Don't worry. Yuan Qing will take care of me."
Chen Zhong left quickly, and an unspeakable smile appeared on Li Yuanqing's lips.
The butcher's knife in Li Yuanqing's hand has already been raised. It's up to Huang Taiji whether he dares to take it!
…………
At this time, at the southern head of Anshan Fort, Huang Taiji was also carefully looking at the Ming army's battle formation.
I had a day off yesterday, and today, almost all the masters of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia have arrived, and the Anshan Fort is crowded, which is not very wide.
Li Yuanqing's guess was not wrong.
At this time, although Huang Taiji's face was calm and always had a habitual smile, but inside his heart, it was already like a roaring wave and it was in chaos.
Especially those despicable Mongolian mud-legged people in Horqin, they have actually begun to spread the saying that "Kill the gold but not the Mongolian".
As long as the Mongols confess their guilt and offer women, gold, silver, and war horses to Li Yuanqing, they can be forgiven and even receive a seal from the Ming court.
And this news actually came from the mouth of Buhe, the father of his beloved concubine Bumubutai.
Along with this, even the most despicable armored men were affected, and they all had sly looks on their faces, not knowing what they were plotting.
"Buhe, this bastard! He really deserves to be cut to pieces..."
The more Huang Taiji thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but spit in his heart.
Bu Mu Butai, a shameless bitch, just flattered Li Yuanqing and made peace with Li Yuanqing, but he even wanted to worry about Dai Jin's foundation. No matter how broad-minded Huang Taiji was, how could he endure it?
However, Huang Taiji was a hero of his time after all. Soon, he stabilized his emotions and maintained the overall situation.
His method of controlling these duplicitous dog slaves is also very simple, that is to take them with him, divide their camps, and strictly prohibit connection!
Once the scourge of Li Yuanqing is solved, let's see how he deals with them!
"Dahan, Li Yuanqing is very safe. This matter is not easy to handle." At this time, Daishan leaned close to Huang Taiji and whispered in a low voice.
Huang Taiji turned around and glanced at Daishan, then smiled softly and said, "Second brother, what can you do?"
Dai Shan whispered: "Great Khan, Li Yuanqing is so stable, obviously for the purpose of large-scale and large-scale siege in the future. It may even attract us to rush out for a decisive battle. This... maybe one or two days is nothing,
But once this drags on, my Daikin’s morale will..."
Huang Taiji let out a long and deep breath. How could he not understand what Daishan meant?
At this time, even Daishan put down his burden and fought side by side with Huang Taiji. From this, we can also know how serious the crisis is for Daikin at this time...
"Second brother, although Li Yuanqing's momentum is strong, it is not without flaws. Besides, our two yellow flag new troops have been training for several years, so they may not lose to Li Yuanqing. We cannot be anxious about this matter. We will wait patiently for Li Yuanqing to attack the city.
That’s it!”
"..."
Daishan also understood Huang Taiji's plan in a flash.
In the past few years, Huang Taiji has been spending a lot of effort and money to train the new army under the Han banner, with Li Yongfang, Ma Guangyuan, Shi Tingzhu and other half-Han and half-Jurchen generals as commanders, which is called "Wuzhen Chaoha".
But Huang Taiji kept a tight lid on these matters, and Daishan didn't know the details.
However, since Huang Taiji said this at this time, Daishan estimated that this Wu Zhen Chaoha would probably have a scale of at least ten thousand people.
If its firepower can really compete with Li Yuanqing's Changsheng Battalion, then~~ when the Ming army attacks the city, Wu Zhenchaoha will defeat Li Yuanqing's main force from the front, and on both wings, their elite Eight Banners cavalry will rush out.
, this battle may not be a victory.
It's no wonder that Lao Ba can still be so calm at this time.
At this time, Daishan had to admire Huang Taiji. His choice to sinicize Daijin was not necessarily the wrong path.
Otherwise, facing Li Yuanqing's aggressive military pressure, their national destiny of Dajin may really be in jeopardy...
To be continued...
