Chapter nine hundred and thirty first unintentional insertion
Since the beginning of the Shenji Camp dispatching troops, Zhu Cilang has been prepared to respond to the enemy, including the offensive route and the special circumstances that can be encountered.
Of course, it also includes the security of food and grass. Since the army headed north to Liaoyang County, it has posed a huge threat to the Qing Dynasty Shengjing.
Logically speaking, the enemy cannot defeat the heavy rations and grass in the camp. Unless Dorgon can fly, just like Zhu Cilang made a hot air balloon and went to the thief Li Zicheng to rescue Li Yan and his wife.
Of course it is impossible. Dorgon's Eight Banners Army could not fly to Yingkou no matter what.
Yingkou is closest to Liaoyang County and is located in the hinterland. It is an excellent food and grass distribution center.
Even so, Zhu Cilang hesitated and decided to divide the grain camp into two places, the other place was Panjin.
Zhu Cilang is familiar with military tactics and knows the truth that the war is inconsistent and the water is inconsistent. No matter how cautious and careful you are, you will never keep up with the ever-changing battlefield situation.
Although Panjin is not the best food and grass distribution center, Zhu Cilang still resisted the opposition and built another food and grass camp in the direction of Panjin.
However, compared with Yingkou, Panjin's grain camp is much smaller. Moreover, the grain camp stockpiled by Panjin can only last for a month or two.
Only Yingkou is the top priority.
However, Yingkou had already been occupied by Dorgon at this time. The Ming army's food and grass in Yingkou were also burned clean by Dorgon's Eight Banners Army.
Dorgon won a great victory and was secretly happy. The entire Eight Banners soldiers also had their confidence.
You should know that the Eight Banners Cavalry, who have always been proud of the world, are almost invincible in the world.
It is not groundless to be overwhelmed by people. The advantage of cavalry is almost the existence of completely crushing infantry in the era of cold weapons.
With Manchu's riding and shooting skills, the Ming army has always been passively beaten in Liaodong.
But since he met Zhu Cilang, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army has been defeated. He fought repeatedly and repeatedly.
The Qing army was very angry until the end of the defeat, but the next battle was still the one who lost.
Many Qing soldiers couldn't understand why the originally weak Ming army suddenly became so terrible. The Qing army, with low morale and poor combat effectiveness, has almost become afraid of the Ming army since then.
Even until the day Huang Taiji died, this sluggish morale continued to spread.
And now, in Yingkou, the Qing Dynasty finally won a game back. This time, the food and grass of the 80,000 Ming troops were burned. Let's see how Zhu Cilang responded.
Without food and grass, the plan to siege Shengjing could only go bankrupt. Zhu Cixuan had to withdraw his troops in the final outcome.
Then, it was Dorgon's performance time.
If Zhu Cixuan withdraws troops from Liaoyang County at this time, he will change from active to passive. Dorgon will rely on his familiarity with the terrain and use cavalry as the main force to ambush the Ming army along the way.
Even if the Shenji Campfire is in hand, it will be very serious.
If the troops failed this time, it would be another fatal blow to the Ming Dynasty's national strength, which was about to rise.
If Zhu Cixuan was defeated this time, he would think about defeating the Qing Dynasty, it would take at least five to ten years.
Moreover, within the past five to ten years, there will be no major turmoil in the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, if you want to defeat the Qing Dynasty, it will always be an unknown.
Unless Zhu Cilang changes his fate against the will of heaven and change his fate, he can develop more advanced weapons, such as Gatlin, who is experiencing blue fire.
Of course, this is also unrealistic. With the current technological level of the Ming Dynasty, improving firearms is considered an epoch-making thing.
Dorgon commanded the army to clean up the mess and didn't have time to rest. He ordered the Eight Banners soldiers to prepare for their stay. This time, their destination was Panjin.
I have to say that Dorgon was indeed cruel enough. He decided that no matter how much the price he paid, he would burn Panjin's food and grass.
After burning Yingkou and then burning Panjin's food and grass, Zhu Cilang's 80,000 troops would face a situation where there was no food to adjust.
The army of 80,000 is just 80,000 people who eat. Even if they are sleepy, they can still trap Zhu Cilan to death.
The only drawback is that Dorgon's Eight Banners soldiers arrived at Yingkou by water. If they wanted to enter Panjin, the Eight Banners soldiers had no horses available.
If a whole person loses war horses, it means that his combat effectiveness is reduced by half.
Even so, Dorgon ordered the army to advance to Panjin quickly. Because he knew the reason why soldiers were so fast, he had to arrive in Panjin before the Ming army could react.
Panjin seems to be an inconspicuous place. But Zhu Cilang, who was a wielding willow, demoted the powerful general Kong Xiangxin here.
As one of Zhu Cixuan's most capable generals, Kong Xiangxin arrived in Panjin to defend the army's food and supplies, which was really useless.
There is no way, who made this guy boldly disobey the military order? If it were someone else, I would have moved my head long ago.
After all, Zhu Cixuan still loves talents, so he just sent him to Panjin.
Kong Xiangxin's unruly personality remains the same. Even when he was sent to Panjin, he still shamelessly asked Zhu Cixuan for five hundred flintlock rifles.
When he arrived in Panjin, Kong Xiangxin was not the first concern about the transportation of food and grass. It was not the storage of food and grass. It was about the defense of the army.
Panjin, located in the hinterland, will never attack the enemy. Therefore, the main task of the five thousand baggage troops here is to transport food and grass.
Kong Xiangxin came and saw it, and it was furious.
First, he arrested the grain transport officer who transported the grain and grass and whipped two hundred whips in public. Then, he announced his own military order. The main priority is to maintain the defense, and the transportation of grain and grass is secondary.
The soldiers are very dissatisfied with this approach of putting the cart before the horse, but so what if they are dissatisfied? Who will make them the boss?
Moreover, Kong Xiangxin's Ming Dynasty has been circulated in the army. After Panjin's soldiers learned that this person was here, they lost their temper on the spot.
There is no way, so I can only train. Panjin area is flat and the enemy is difficult to hide.
However, even so, Kong Xiangxin did not take it lightly. He was unique and wanted to build two lines of defense on the outside.
The first line of defense is a guard post, and unlike ordinary guard posts, Kong Xiangxin specially set up a light and dark post.
The guard post will be divided into several types, including open, secret, mobile posters, as well as enhanced versions such as squad posters and row posters, and their uses are also different.
Because the Qing cavalry was highly mobile, they often organized raids and night attacks when the enemy and us were intertwined. Some of the Ming army, which lacked vigilance, suffered huge losses for this.
So, Kong Xiangxin learned to arrange light and dark whistles under Zhu Cixuan.
The so-called plain whistle is a guard post placed on the surface. To put it bluntly, it is similar to the vanguard on the battlefield, specifically attracting enemy firepower.
