Chapter 78 The decisive battle between Sichuan and Tibet
The thirty-year-old Dai Qing rode on a yellow horse and soon learned the information before and after.
He was said before that he was the eldest son of Luochabatur, the Daur chief near Qiqihar, and Qiqihar
Nearby is the semi-herd and semi-agricultural land of the Luocha Daur people and the Fucha Xibe people.
Before the Qing Dynasty rose, these two tribes were under the jurisdiction of the right wing of Korqin. At that time, they could not only farm, fish, but also herd pigs and horses. Among them, they were famous in the Nenjiang River Basin for the "pig-herding" tribe. In addition, they could use grain to make wine, so they were considered to be a tribe with a high level of civilization in the Nenjiang River Basin.
After the rise of the Qing Dynasty, they were collectively called the Heijin people (Hezhe) in the Sanjiang River Basin further east, and were actually far from the real Sozren people. But no matter what, the three major tribes, including the Bomu Boguoer tribe in the Heilongjiang River Basin and the Bardaqi tribe in the Jingqili River Basin, had a total population of about 50,000 households, but it was an excellent source for Huang Taiji to replenish his troops after he came to power.
At one time, the Luocha tribe and the Fucha tribe were both slaves of the right wing of Korchin, and Huang Taiji used silver to redeem these two parts from Aoba and included them in the Eight Banners. Later, he became the backbone of the Eight Banners of Manchuria.
At present, Fei Yang Ayuan of the Fucha Ministry is in Anxi and has been promoted to commander of the legion. Ye Bushu, the representative of the Heijin Ministry, (the core figure of the Manchurian Red Flag), is also the legion commander. Dai Qing of the Luocha Ministry is not inferior. Now he has become Chen Qixin's deputy and the legion deputy commander. If Chen Qixin is not Nikan's brother-in-law, it would be natural for Dai Qing to take over this legion, because he used to be the second-in-commander of Xiao Alin's legion.
After learning about his situation, Dai Qing immediately responded. He divided the troops into two because there was Zhang Kefan in front of him. He asked his troops to surround Lai Hu'er, and he led 1,500 cavalry to face the Baotao Camp in the Daxi Army's guard camp behind - the heavy army camp led by Ma Weixing, the general of the Daxi Army.
The so-called heavy army camp means that Ma Weixing's infantry camp is an infantry camp that can attack tough, defend, and has complete armor.
The Baotao Camp is also a camp with 3,000 people. Among them, there are 500 archers wearing leather armor. As archers, they are also inseparable from strength. In addition to bows and arrows, a goose feather knife is mainly used for long-range attacks, harassing the enemy, and protecting other infantry troops on the side to get close to the enemy to attack.
One thousand five hundred swords and shield soldiers are quite good in the Daxi Army. At this time, although the Daxi Army claimed to have more than one hundred battalions, it could not unify and equip every soldier under its command, but it would be of use. However, the Suwei Battalion was different. At least the soldiers were selected and the military equipment was roughly unified.
In the Ming army and the rebel army, the sword and shield soldiers were a backbone force, because you have to use the sword with one hand and hold the shield with the other hand, and you can not only attack and defend, and you have to have long-term training. The techniques of the sword and shield soldiers of the Daxi Army were all from Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Dingguo and his son, which were very practical and had considerable lethality.
The sword and shield soldiers are also wearing leather armor.
There are still a thousand people who are truly "heavy soldiers". They are all tall, wearing iron armor, and their weapons are also heavy axes, heavy guns, big swords, iron whips, hammers and other objects of full length. They are the key forces to deal with cavalry and enemy heavy soldiers. When encountering enemy cavalry, heavy soldiers holding iron guns are lined up in front, followed by archers, which can effectively defend the impact of cavalry.
When they encounter the same enemy heavy troops, they will first throw arrows, and then the heavy camp will suddenly enter, kill the enemy's formation, and then the sword and shield soldiers behind them will break in again, without any disadvantages.
When they retreated, they were the best candidates for the palace.
The four kings have one in their hands in such a heavy army camp. At present, Ma Weixing is naturally affiliated with Zhang Kewang. Of course, if the Western Army had such a configuration from the beginning, it would not have come to Sichuan without steadily occupying Hunan. These troops were all configured after they came to Sichuan.
In the original history, this heavy army camp was fully equipped in Chengdu. After being fully equipped, it did not have any experience of fighting against the enemy. It went south to fight Yang Zhan on the ship. The only fight was after meeting the Qing army. Unfortunately, they met Bayala, who could dismount and fight and were wearing three layers of armor, and naturally was not an opponent. In the end, the Daxi Army retreated again and again, and finally ran to Jiangnan.
At present, what kind of sparks will they spark when they encounter Han Hai Army, which is no less than the Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty?
Ma Weixing was a long-time general of the Daxi Army. As soon as he learned that there were the Hanhai cavalry not far ahead, he immediately ordered the occupation of Ande Town and arranged five hundred heavy troops on the west end of the town, and behind him were archers ready to go!
Looking at the black, hedgehog-like iron spear, Dai Qing's eyes suddenly became serious.
When I looked again, enemy archers appeared on the buildings on both sides of the town. Even if my cavalry stepped into the rice fields and went around the eastern end of the town, the situation ahead was probably similar to that here.
In fact, if such a defense is encountered by the Hanhai Army infantry, it will not last long under the bombardment of artillery, but Dai Qing and the others are cavalry!
As the commander of the Leopard Camp, Ma Weixing once encountered an enemy, he judged that the situation in front of him was probably not good. While occupying Ande Town, he immediately sent a fast horse to Chengdu to notify Zhang Kewang.
The fourth camp of Suwei, two of them were trapped outside, and I guess the Grand Governor would not sit idly by.
Not to mention Dai Qing's side, Zhang Kefan in front faced Qi Sansheng's defense line but did not take it seriously. He placed the tiger cavalry holding a new type of rifle in front. After a burst of shooting, Qi Sansheng's spearmen blocking the front suddenly became in chaos, and most of them rushed into the rice fields on both sides. At this time, the flying dragon cavalry was on the way, and the silver torrent covered the official road, flooding all the infantry and troops arranged by Qi Sansheng on the road.
Before the cavalry rushed up, Qi Sansheng had led his personal soldiers into the rice fields when he saw that the situation was not good.
However, when we arrived in the rice fields, the rice was heading season, and there was still a lot of water in the fields. After soaking for about three months, I wanted to move quickly when I stepped in, let alone cavalry, even infantry could not do it.
But Qi Sansheng was really cunning. When he stepped into the rice fields, he immediately used the cover of rice seedlings to attack the Hanhai Army on the official road. Naturally, he did not dare to come to the official road, but instead used bows and arrows to shoot the Hanhai Army's war horses!
As mentioned earlier, the Han Hai Army's war horses were only half-armored during the war, but now the position of the horse's buttocks was unrestrained. Under the shooting of Qi Sansheng's archer, the formation of the cavalry also became chaotic. After the bow and arrow hit the horse's buttocks, although the war horses would not fall to the ground, they would run around in pain.
The flying dragon cavalry led by Zhang Kefan soon fought with the Laihuer cavalry behind him. However, after being attacked by Qi Sansheng, the tiger cavalry behind him did not rush into the rice fields in anger and fought with the scattered Daxi Army, but took two measures.
About a thousand tiger cavalry followed the Dragon Cavalry and fought with the cavalry of Lai Huer. Some of the remaining tiger cavalry were shot by the enemy and then ran around and entered the rice fields. At this time, they didn't care about cherishing the seedlings, so they simply rode their horses in to fight with the enemy. The tiger cavalry on the official road raised their rifles and faced the rice fields on both sides. As soon as the enemy emerged, they either fired the rifles or threw a few grenades.
An hour later, even the most brave Qi Sansheng could not stay in the rice fields and had to flee further away. However, under their secret attack, the Tiger Cavalry also lost dozens of cavalry, which was unforgivable to Zhang Kefan. The fully armed Hanhai cavalry actually lost dozens of cavalry in front of the enemy infantry. If this was spread, how could he still be in the Hanhai Army?
So, when he learned the news, on the one hand, he let the remaining tiger cavalry pass through the ridge of the field to search for Qi Sansheng's remaining troops, and on the other hand, he launched a fierce attack on the Laihu'er cavalry in person!
Lai Hu'er only lasted for about half an hour and couldn't stand it anymore. After a few years of not seeing each other, the Hanhai Army became more and more skilled in cavalry battles and its equipment became more and more powerful. Moreover, the combat power of the Daxi Army at this time was actually a relatively low point for them. Under the attack of the Hanhai Army's cavalry, tiger spear, and double swords, they soon became defeated. At this time, they, mainly the Ming army surrendered, quickly used their specialty of escape and ran wildly towards Chengdu!
Unfortunately, they soon met Dai Qing's cavalry who were blocking the road ahead. Naturally, these cavalry did not dare to fight and rode their horses into the rice fields. Unfortunately, they were not infantry, but could hide their bodies under the rice seedlings. They just wanted to hide, but their war horses could not do it. So a chase in the rice fields began. Han Hai Army had the advantage of firearms. In the end, most of the cavalry who came to Hu'er were wiped out, and only a few people ran out with Hi Hu'er.
However, Dai Qing, who confronted Ma Weixing in Ande Town, encountered trouble. Due to the influence of the terrain, his cavalry did not take down Ande Town in the past time. Not to mention taking down, even the heavy troops arranged by Ma Weixing in the front were not taken down.
However, Dai Qing was not a reckless person. Instead, he thought, "The enemy is so well-equipped, most of them are elites from Chengdu. I can't take this town, and they can't escape easily. They will definitely send people to Chengdu to report the news. They might as well use this town as bait to attract the enemy from Chengdu to arrive continuously, laying the foundation for our army to consume a large amount of their living power before taking Chengdu."
So, he set up a camp at the west end of Ande Town and confronted Ma Weixing. On the one hand, he went to Guan County to report Chen Qixin.
The next morning, Chen Qixin arrived and brought all his remaining cavalry brigade and infantry brigade.
The news quickly reached Chengdu.
At the Ministry of War, Zhang Kewang fell into deep thought.
The Hanhai Army's fast reaction and strong strength made him a little unexpected. He knew that if it weren't for the restrictions on terrain near Chengdu, Ma Weixing's camp would have perished long ago.
what to do?
Among the remaining military forces in Chengdu, Dou Mingwang's 15,000 were infantry soldiers, and they were also infantry with average combat power. Moreover, such a large Chengdu city still requires a large number of people to defend and cannot be easily moved. He only had one Longxiang Camp and one Yingyang Camp, which was also a camp dominated by infantry. Even if he drove to Ande Town, there was little hope of rescuing Ma Weixing.
However, it was not what he wanted to see just watching Ma Wei's rise and fall. After thinking about it, he wanted Zhang Wenxiu, who was in Mianzhou, to issue an order.
"Fourth brother, the bandit army has arrived in the suburbs of Chengdu. The guards in Chengdu are weak at present. The king's family is located, and the three armies' food, fodder, and salary. How can you move lightly? After you have the letter, you will bring 10,000 troops to the south, not asking to defeat the bandit army and divide the enemy's situation so that Ma Weixing from Ande Town can escape calmly."
