Chapter 1577
A surprise attack on the capital, the so-called strategy of attacking the 'heart'.
As far as Shaerhuda is concerned, those who can go all the way without hindrance and arrive smoothly are the first. The key to this surprise attack is not to break the capital. With just over 10,000 soldiers and horses, the probability of breaking the capital of the Southern Dynasty is very small.
The Donglu entered the customs four times, all of which were very large in scale. They also showed off one's military strength outside the capital, but they never broke the capital.
The strategy of surprise attack on the capital is to shake the Mountain and Sea Trial defense line. It doesn't matter whether it can be broken or not, the important thing is to make the capital panic, which will cause a chain reaction and create opportunities for Dorgon.
As for the next best thing, killing commoners, even if the whereabouts have been leaked, is the second of the next. What's the use of killing a few commoners? Soldiers approaching the city, deterring the heart of the capital, that is the strategic purpose.
Jin Sheng led his troops into formation, 2-3 li from the distance, seeing the silhouette in the forest, he couldn't help saying: "Fortunately, the old man has long legs, so hurry up and catch up. If Let Tatar run away, the general has to rip my skin off."
He said: "Jiucai, I don't think you should be the village chief. Continue to work with me, with this time credit. , not to mention the battalion generals, the veterans of the military marquis can still give it."
Jiu Cai was a little moved, but hesitated for a while, but still said: "Being the village chief also serves the king. Sir, this time It's a fluke, but it doesn't take much credit... Besides, after the injury, the hands and feet are not as nimble as they used to be..."
"Bullshit." Jin Sheng said: "This is not a credit? I don't see any inconvenience in your hands and feet. That's the decision. After the war, the old man wrote a note on it."
"This..."
"Don't talk nonsense. , Tatar is here."
But I saw a densely packed Tatar gushing out of the forest, with a big bald head full of eyes, and a disgusting mouse tail behind his head. Arrayed by the forest, with long spear shields and numerous swords and axes.
Jin Sheng observed for a moment and said, "How many people are there? No 2,000?"
Around 1,500 people."
also The sharp-eyed said: "It doesn't look like a real Tatar."
Jin Sheng's heart turned, and shouted: "Where is the night? Go and show me, Tatar impossible only so few people."
Li Jiucai also said: "What the lord said is. Four or five hundred ships, at least tens of thousands of Tatar."
"It is estimated that he intends to use this force to contain the old capital, the main force is good Run away!" Jin Sheng didn't guess, and said, "No, I can't let Tatar run away easily."
He shouted: "All the soldiers press on me, eat first."
p>
Three thousand columns for a while, neither anxious nor nervous, a military order, like a wall advancing. 2-3 li, but the time for a cup of tea is shortened by half. Tatar's face is already faintly visible.
Seeing Xia Jun approaching, Tatar, who was lined up beside the forest, became agitated. Kong Tingxun raised a heart in his throat and shouted for the soldiers to prepare for battle.
About a mile and a half, the Xia army swarmed a cavalry with about four or five hundred men. The entire square-shaped infantry formation also began to change toward the half-moon shape.
The horses' hooves rolled, the sound was like thunder, and a mile passed in an instant. In the smoke and dust rising to the sky, it has reached 200 paces.
At this time, the infantry of the Xia Army, who had transformed into a half-moon formation, began to accelerate in a semi-encircled shape. Following the cavalry, they quickly narrowed the distance with Kong Tingxun.
Two hundred paces, the cavalry was huge. Although there were four or five hundred people, it was like a tsunami. Zhenghongqi's traitor soldiers have been fighting between two groups for a long time. I don't know who missed a shot. Suddenly, there was a crackling sound like rain beating against a banana tree, and the fire was all over. But no one was hit, all out of range.
Kong Tingxun was flustered and exasperated, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to shout: "Fill the gun, fill the gun!"
Where did it come from?
The firearms used by the Donglu Han Eight Banners are still old-fashioned. Hundred steps can not armor piercing, filling is slow, and it is easy to explode, and a cup of tea can hit two or three guns is the limit.
But in the face of the cavalry charge, where is the time to fill him with medicine?
After a burst of empty guns, the cavalry was just within the range of the shot, but there were no guns left to release. In the eyes of the traitor soldiers, those armored cavalry armed to the teeth, with only a pair of eyes exposed, the hearts of those who were illuminated by the cold cold light trembled.
At this distance, four or five hundred cavalry had not spread out yet, but still formed a tight formation. At a hundred paces, they all held guns, grabbed the reins in one hand, held the gun in the other, and released the gun at fifty steps. In the smoke and flames, the large shield of the traitor on the opposite side exploded, the forehead exploded, the blood in the brain splattered, and suddenly fell down.
Kong Tingxun's department was in chaos. At this time, fifty paces passed in the blink of an eye. The cavalry put away the three-eyed gun, took down the Pu Dao with the backhand, raised the sword, a blade light flashed, and the chaotic traitor's defense line was torn apart, and the armored cavalry like a hot knife through butter was killed.
A traitor soldier was hit by a cavalry and flew into the air, and the in midair's chest collapsed. Before landing, he was stabbed in the opposite direction by the soldiers behind him. A rider in armor was accidentally knocked off his horse, but he didn't look like anything happened. He turned over, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and slammed one person. When he fit in, 3 or 5 people couldn't stop him. Like a tiger.
At the right moment, Jin Sheng's voice has reached the point before.
"Rush up! It's all over!"
A battle starts quickly and ends quickly. Kong Tingxun was chased by the armored cavalry and had no escape, so he knelt down and begged for mercy and ended up surrendering. More than 1,200 of the 1,500 Red Banner traitors were killed and less than 300 were captured.
“come and announce your name.”
Jin Sheng rode his horse horizontally and looked down at Kong Tingxun, who was kneeling on the ground, with disdain on his face.
"Jiang Kong...Kong Tingxun."
Kong Tingxun buried his head in the ground, trembling with fear.
"Kong Tingxun? Never heard of it." Jin Sheng said, "Want to die or live?"
"Want to live!"
"Then Say." Jin Sheng said: "Where did Tatar's main force run to?"
Kong Tingxun without the slightest hesitation: "The other side of the woods."
"How long?"
"It's less than two quarters."
"How many people are there? Who are the leaders?"
"The 13,000 people are full of elite soldiers from the Eight Banners. The leaders are Shaerhuda and Eshuo."
"Oh, when you hear this name, you know it's a real Tatar." Jin Sheng said to him and said, "It's not like this, it's a traitor. "
Kong Tingxun buried his head deeper.
"Where is your goal? Is it the capital?" Jin Sheng bowed his head slightly.
"...Yes."
Jin Sheng nodded: "Pull him and take him."
And said: "Send people into the city, use the headquarters In the name of Baodi county magistrate, please help guard the prisoners."
At this time, Yebu responded to the Malay newspaper: "My commander, the brothers have attached Tatar's tail. Tatar escaped from the other side of the forest, Going east."
"East?!"
Jin Sheng frowned, shouted: "Wang Mazi, you bring your people to clean the battlefield here. Others follow The old man is gone, Hugh is going to get rid of the main Tatar force!"
"Here!"
At this time, the closed east gate of Baodi County in the east slammed open, and a man dressed as an official The youngster, armed with a sword and riding a horse, led a group of yamen and thousands of young men to kill him.
"Tatar is right in front, absolutely don't teach him to run away. Everyone, Tatar is nothing to be afraid of, don't panic, don't be afraid, just hang up. Our elite soldiers are in the south of the city, and they will be there in a moment. ."
I have to say that this county magistrate was very courageous. He found the traces of soldiers and horses, and quickly closed the city gate. Under the mobilization, he went out of the city.
