Chapter 481 Weird Tactics
"Come on the clairvoyance!" Zu Dashou shouted anxiously.
A soldier under him hurriedly handed over the monocular.
Zhu Cilang, a big thermal weapon, has not been made, but the flowering bullets produced in fact have many disadvantages. However, small objects, such as monoculars, have been mass-produced at Xishan Glass Factory.
Although monocular telescopes have been introduced from foreign countries, this thing is rare and Xishan Glass Factory makes it itself, which makes this thing not very strange.
I don’t know how many times Zu Dashou, who had been through the battlefield, had fought with the Qing army in all kinds of battles, and had never seen any kind of battle on the battlefield. He didn’t know that Prince Zheng Jirhalang was hit by a gun just now, but he knew that the other party must be an important general in the Qing army.
The one who attacked the east gate of Jinzhou City was the Inlaid Blue Flag. In other words, Jirgalang must be inside.
But judging from the panic of the Qing generals, Zu Dashou basically concluded that the shot he fired just now was probably the one who hit their head coach Jiergalang. Otherwise, the Qing army would not have been so in chaos.
The battlefield situation changed rapidly, and opportunities were for those who were prepared. Opportunities were not missed. Zu Dashou stood at the top of the city and shouted: "Jirgalang is dead, the Qing army is defeated!"
The Ming army in Jinzhou City was a group of veterans. After hearing Zu Dashou's shout, everyone waved the flag and cheered: "Jirgalang is dead, the Qing army is defeated, the Qing army is defeated!"
Sure enough, with this shout, the Qing army in the Inlaid Blue Flag under the city was even more disastrous. Many soldiers had stopped attacking and were waiting for an opportunity to escape.
At this moment, Jirgalang, who had been fallen to the ground, stood up staggeringly. It turned out that a cannon hit his mount under his crotch and smashed his war horse with one cannon.
And he was thrown out of the horse's back by a huge impact force. He threw him out more than ten meters in an instant.
After landing, Jirgalang's back was painful and almost fainted after a breath. When he heard Zu Dashou's shouting on the city wall, Jirgalang stood up in a staggering manner.
At this time, Jirgalang's helmet disappeared. He drew his sword with disheveled hair and angrily: "Dog thief Mingjun, kill me!"
When the Qing soldiers inlaid blue flag beside them saw that their commander was safe and sound, they immediately boosted their morale. They bent their bows and arrows and shot at the Ming army on the city wall.
The Ming army was not willing to be outdone, and the archers fought back one after another. For a moment, killing sounds rose everywhere.
After all, the defender of the city had the advantage of time and place. Under Zu Dashou's brave counterattack, Jirgalang attacked the city several times and was repelled.
"Wuwuwu..." The rhino horn was blowing in the northwest direction, and Huang Taiji's Huanglong Chronicle slowly arrived.
Seeing the Qing emperor coming in person, the Qing soldiers with blue flags climbed the mountain and shouted long live.
Zu Dashou frowned, and he couldn't figure it out for a moment: "Huang Taiji, even if this dog emperor is here in person, what can I do to me? When Governor Hong's reinforcements arrive, you will be killed in one place."
It seems that the Battle of Songjin in history is about to happen again. However, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Ming army in Liaodong at this time is no longer the same as before.
Huang Taiji thought about besieging Jinzhou, and it was no longer realistic to surround the support troops of the Ming army. If Hong Chengchou's reinforcements really arrived, the Eight Banners Cavalry would be in danger.
Huang Taiji's Huanglong Chapel arrived at the periphery of Jinzhou, but there was no movement. Then, Jiergalang's army of blue-inlaid flag retreated.
This made people confused. Zu Dashou on the city wall looked confused: "What kind of tricks are Jiannu playing? What kind of playing is this?"
Zu Dashou, who had fought with the Qing soldiers for hundreds of times, did not understand what Huang Taiji was causing. Since the Qing army was full of all, why did it slow to launch an attack?
If we just surrounded Jinzhou and wanted to surround the site to fight aid, why did Huang Taiji not ambush the road where Hong Chengchou rushed to help, but chose a northwest corner where the strategic location was not important and remained unmoved?
After fighting for so many years, Zu Dashou was still a little confused for the first time. Huang Taiji was in a position, and there was no advantage at all. Once the Ming reinforcements arrived, they could only escape.
In fact, Zu Dashou felt the same way. Huang Taiji, who traveled thousands of miles to the city, just to show his face and wait for an opportunity to escape?
This is not right, but other things are really incomprehensible.
For three consecutive days, Huang Taiji, who was frozen in the cold weather, stayed stationed in the direction more than 70 miles northwest of Jinzhou City.
Zu Dashou was very surprised and sent several groups of spies one after another, and the news they received was the same. Huang Taiji showed no sign of siege, nor did he intend to surround the points and attack the aid. Instead, he seemed to be ready to run away at any time.
At this time, Zhu Cilang's Hu Ben army was almost at Shanhaiguan, and Hong Chengchou's reinforcements began to gather in the direction of Jinzhou.
Wu Sangui from Shanhaiguan went out of the city to greet him. Zhu Cixuan and his group came to Shanhaiguan. Wu Sangui hurriedly reported the battle situation.
"Your Highness, according to the news from the last general, Huang Taiji only sent Jirgalang, who had a blue flag, to attack the east gate of Jinzhou. Moreover, Jirgalang was almost killed by Zu Dashou. Later, Huang Taiji arrived in person, but strangely, Huang Taiji did not launch any offensive, but stopped more than 70 miles northwest."
Zhu Cixuan did not seem to be surprised by this: "This is normal, Huang Taiji is not a fool. Even if he puts all his strength into it, he can't take over Jinzhou City. Instead of ruining the lives of the Eight Banners soldiers under his vain, it's better to surround and attack support."
Zhu Cilang believes that Huang Taiji is still trying to make an old trick of aggression. He surrounds Jinzhou and finds the weaknesses of Hong Chengchou's reinforcements, which will be fatal to one blow.
But what Wu Sangui said next really shocked Zhu Cilang. Wu Sangui bowed and said, "Your Highness, it's a bit strange here. Logically speaking, if Huang Taiji wants to surround Jinzhou and not launch an attack, his purpose should be to deal with Governor Hong's reinforcements. However, judging from the news from Zu Dashou, Huang Taiji did not seem to have the intention to block Governor Hong's reinforcements, but seemed to be running away at any time."
Zhu Cixuan was stunned: "Where is the map?"
Wu Sangui seemed to have prepared himself, so he hurriedly took out the Liaodong defense map and pointed to the location marked on the map: "Your Highness, you see, Huang Taiji seems to have no intention of fighting. His attack on Jinzhou was more like a cover. He shrank his troops in the northwest corner, just to prepare for retreat at any time."
Zhu Ciyang frowned: "What the hell is Huang Taiji doing? What do you think he is doing?"
Wu Sangui shook his head in confusion: "Maybe, Huang Taiji knows the power of our Liaodong Army. He has no confidence in winning, he just wants to test it."
