Chapter 1491
To face off on the battlefield, Geng Zhongming believes that he will not frighten any opponents. After all, he was killed from the mountain of corpses and blood in Dengzhou City. to his heart.It's just that the form of harassment and harassment by the Haihan cavalry is beyond his cognition. If he wants to ignore it and can't bear the continuous killing and injury, he must fight a serious battle. Headache.
Geng Zhongming never thought that the opponent's small group of troops could create such a big trouble for him. There were only a few hundred men and horses who watched the Haihan Army wandering around the periphery, but if they stopped and a focused fire shot, they could be in his own formation. Created at least dozens of casualties.Although this casualty is not a big deal on the battlefield, it can be repeated over and over again.Such a large number of casualties has already appeared before the battle with the opponent's main force. Once the battle is head-on, the offensive of the Haihan Army on his own flank will inevitably strengthen. He dare not bet on whether his cavalry can carry it. Can withstand the opponent's intensive attack.
Before finding an effective way to deal with the Haihan cavalry, Geng Zhongming could only order to suspend the march, because it was really difficult for the marching troops to form an array and they could only rely on the peripheral cavalry to provide protection.After the troops stopped, he could arrange for the infantry to form a formation, and the cavalry would maneuver to support him.If the Haihan cavalry still rushes forward, Geng Zhongming believes that the superiority of his own troops can also be transformed into a superiority of firepower and give him a fatal blow.
"Stop!" Qian Tiandun immediately noticed the movement of the Han army flag from the telescope, and roughly guessed the intention of the enemy commander: "It seems that they plan to deploy more cavalry to protect the flank."
"Isn't this going back to the old routine?" Harugong was not panicked when he saw this. The Haihan Army has fought against the Houjin Army many times. His moves have been used many times over and over again. If they can defeat Haihan's tactics, how can they wait for the Han army flag to appear.
A smile appeared on the corner of Qian Tiandun's mouth and said: "This Han army flag is new, probably Azige didn't take out all the defeats he fought. Since they want to try, let them suffer again. "
Han Junqi did not know how powerful the Haihan Army was, but the Houjin Cavalry, who had fought with Haihan many times, knew it all too well.The so-called military superiority is that it cannot play a decisive role in the battle of the Haihan Army.In some cases, it even just consumes a little more ammunition from the enemy.
The Haihan infantry could not be beaten on the frontal battlefield, and at least there was a chance to retreat flexibly, but fighting against the more mobile Haihan cavalry had now become a recognized nightmare for the post-Golden cavalry.Moreover, Geng Zhongming ordered the cavalry who dropped the Manchu flag to come to reinforce after his own cavalry was frustrated, which made the Niu Lue who led the troops really dissatisfied - when you want to grab the credit, you can let your troops go, and once I know it hurts when my foot hits the iron plate, so I'm going to change my person to the top of the tank now?
Dissatisfaction returns to dissatisfaction, but Azige has handed over the command of this battle to Geng Zhongming. Even if these low-level officers have fire in their hearts, they dare not disobey the military order.
The Haihan cavalry is very familiar with the enemy's tactics of trying to exchange their strength for battlefield advantage. They are not panic when they see the golden cavalry lining up. have enough time to react.Then repeat the previous tactics, stop, line up, aim, fire.Geng Zhongming deployed more cavalry on the flanks, but it seemed that this deployment did not work as it should, and the opponent was not deterred by the increase in troops and continued to fire on the periphery.
The main weapons and equipment of the post-Golden Cavalry were saber and bow and arrow. However, neither of these two weapons could attack the enemy at a distance of [-] meters. Even the hundreds of shields that were put together just before departure could not protect their lives. .With the sound of the guns in the distance, people kept falling off their horses in the wailing, and just as this side was about to take action, the Haihan cavalry in the distance had already withdrawn their guns and changed places.
Chase?Chasing out was just another kite being flown by the Haihan cavalry, and this place was not far from its artillery position, and one was accidentally circled into the opponent's fire range.That may be more than just eating guns.
It wasn't until this time that Geng Zhongming deeply realized that the strength gap between the two sides could not be resolved by increasing troops. If the combat distance was not shortened to the extent that one's own side could use offensive means, then even if tens of thousands of people were sent to this battle, it would be difficult. Also unable to fight.But he also knows that there are currently no tens of thousands of armed forces in Liaodong for him to command. In addition to the 3000 troops under his command, there are some cavalry and supply troops sent by Azig to cooperate with him. The scale of the attack is not small, but to deal with Haihan's unheard of tactics, it is stretched everywhere, and there is no way to use it.
But in any case, at least the Haihan cavalry did not dare to get too close to their own army formation, and Geng Zhongming couldn't drag it on forever.As for how the officers of the Manchurian Banner would scold him now, he couldn't care less.
Qian Tiandun and Harrugong were not worried about what would happen to the two-way cavalry sent to the enemy's flank to harass them. As long as they didn't fight, they could easily get out of the enemy's range of activities, but it was difficult for the enemy to do anything. Well-established means of attack can truly threaten them, and the range of their weapons allows the cavalry to overwhelm their opponents at long distances.
If there are any shortcomings, it is probably that the amount of ammunition consumed by this tactic is really not small, because the combat distance is too far, and the error in accuracy can only be made up by the number of bullets fired. It may only take two or three bullets to hit the enemy on the ground, but when the distance increases to a hundred feet, the bullets required will also double exponentially.After the intermittent fighting lasted for about four to ten minutes, the two cavalry units had to distance themselves, concentrate the ammunition and redistribute it, leaving only a few elites to continue the raids, and let some of them return to the camp first for supplies.
And this finally gave the Houjin army a chance to breathe, hurry up and move forward, hoping to quickly move to a position where they can launch an offensive before Haihan's next batch of cavalry is dispatched.
The wish is good, but the reality is cruel. Whether it is cavalry or infantry, the gap in weaponry and tactics is an insurmountable obstacle for the post-Golden Army.And what made them feel most desperate was that the Haihan Army deliberately did not fire a single shot, and placed them in a relatively close place. It suddenly opened fire.
More than a dozen artillery roared almost simultaneously, and their target was a gun emplacement that had just been erected by the Han army flag.Although the distance between this location and the Haihan army array is as far as one mile, even the Haihan artillery, which is known for its precision, is difficult to hit the soul, but when more than a dozen artillery pieces are fired at the same time, the area covered by their firepower is enough to make up for the accuracy. The degree is not enough.In the first round of bombardment, two post-gold gunners were torn to pieces, and in the second round of bombardment, two shells hit the position of the artillery one after the other, knocking the door weighing 700 meters to pieces. The heavy iron cannon was overturned and fell to the ground. A finger-wide crack was cracked on the barrel, and it was scrapped immediately.
Of course, Geng Zhongming didn't dare to let Haihan continue to play. In fact, when Haihan started shelling, he also ordered to bombard the opponent's position, but compared with the opponent's weapons, the artillery in his hand was in accuracy and range. , launch speed, and lethality have no advantages at all, and bombarding targets one mile away is more dependent on luck than technology.Before his artillerymen fired the second round of guns, another artillery position was declared destroyed under the concentrated fire of Haihan.
There were only eight artillery pieces that Geng Zhongming brought to the front line. Although his Han army flag was equipped with far more artillery pieces, the heavy artillery pieces were inconvenient to transport and could only be deployed in the city. The Flang cannons have insufficient range, and are hardly useful in this kind of artillery battle that requires a wide range of engagements.I didn't expect that the battle had just been set up, and it was already two out of eight, and looking at this momentum, it was probably difficult for the eight cannons to last until the end of the battle.
Geng Zhongming had a hard time imagining why Haihan could have such a sharp weapon, but it only took him a short time to figure out a truth. With his current conditions, if he wanted to defeat his opponent on the frontal battlefield, he would have to wait. Only when the Haihan Army runs out of ammunition and food.To fight a war of attrition at this level, I am afraid that Huang Taiji would have to personally order and assemble the elites of the whole country to put them on this battlefield, and maybe there will be a chance to forcibly take away the advantage of the opponent.
To fight a national war with these thousands of Haihan troops?Geng Zhongming thought to himself that if he reported it like this, Huang Taiji would probably think that he had a fever and burned his brain out.He knew that his master wanted to achieve a great ambition and hegemony. He started planning to attack North Korea last year and was in the final preparation stage, but was interrupted by the Haihan people who suddenly killed him, but Huang Taiji obviously did not want to be involved in this matter. There are too many distractions. In his opinion, Haihan is a southern country located thousands of miles away, and what Jin needs to suppress or even destroy should be the bordering Korean, Ming and Mongolian tribes that have not yet surrendered. The war that broke out seemed somewhat inexplicable and pointless.
Therefore, Huang Taiji handed over the war in Jinzhou to Azige and Yanguli. He believed that having these two people in Jinzhou should be enough to control the situation.But I didn't expect Yangguli to die in battle, and Azige didn't seem to be able to show a decent record, let alone drive the Haihan Army out of the Liaodong Peninsula.Under such unfavorable circumstances, Huang Taiji used Geng Zhongming's troops in the Han army flag, hoping that he could teach these enemies from the south some lessons with "advanced" weapons and equipment.
But perhaps Azige had reservations for self-protection when he explained the previous battle situation. Geng Zhongming didn't find out until he took his troops on the battlefield that the strength of the Haihan Army was stronger than what he knew before. The various tactics prepared did not seem to pose a sufficient threat to the enemy at all. Instead, they were restrained everywhere during the battle, and the rhythm of the battle was completely controlled by the enemy.
As a commander with rich combat experience, Geng Zhongming is naturally aware of the danger of the current situation. If he continues to fight with the Haihan Army at the current rhythm, then his Han Army flag will probably end up with Azige's. Like the troops, they were beaten to the point where they could not even fight back.He suddenly understood why Aziger's report was a little vague, and he didn't say much about how he lost the battle. If it was himself, he could only cover up his inability to do anything by playing sloppy eyes on the battle report.
At present, there is only one reasonable way to change the situation of this battle with the strength of the Han army flag itself, and that is to take the initiative to retreat.Geng Zhongming was able to give up Dengzhou City and escape from Daming back then. Naturally, he could be regarded as a hero who could afford to let it go, and he would not stick to the outcome of this battle.Moreover, he is also a decisive person. Although his own side has obviously suffered a loss during the battle just now, he does not intend to lose many enemy troops before withdrawing after this breath, but immediately ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.
When Qian Tiandun heard the sound of the gong in the distant enemy formation, he couldn't help but sigh: "This Geng Zhongming is a clever man, he knows how to advance and retreat, no wonder he can survive until now!"
"At least the brain is much more useful than Aziger!" Although Harrugong did not agree with Qian Tiandun's evaluation of "smart man", he also had to admit that the general who commanded the battle had more brains than Aziger. Sober, after realizing that the situation on the battlefield was not good, he decided to take the initiative to leave, and the Haihan Army, which did not have a dominant force, had a hard time forming an encirclement. Even good.
"It's a pity that this guy hasn't shown up, and the sniper he arranged has not been of any use." Qian Tiandun is still a little dissatisfied that this game did not cause a substantive blow to Geng Zhongming. If he can directly kill Geng Zhongming, then undoubtedly It will be a blow to Houjin's military strength.But the other party probably also knew that Haihan had such a special method of tactics, so he was very careful and did not appear in the sight of Haihan snipers from beginning to end.
Seeing that the enemy was really planning to withdraw from the battlefield, Harugong ordered the cavalry to attack again, taking advantage of the opponent's inability to fight back, to do as much damage as possible.Although most of the soldiers on the opposite side were also Han Chinese, for the Haihan Army, they were not substantially different from the Manchu Banner in the Houjin Army, and there was no need to show mercy to them.
