Chapter 173 Crazy
There were still people walking on the road, but it was much more rare than during the day. Zhang Han didn't know where the main force of the Eight Banners was, but he knew that Dai Shan and Huang Taiji had already led the forwards, and the main force should be stationed not far from Hetuala and heading west.
At the meeting of the Khan Palace, because I had already known the deployment and general strength of the Ming army in advance, the Later Jin Dynasty knew that Du Song was not only the strongest and most threatening, but also Du Song was the strongest in fighting for merit. Although it was later than the Ming army attacking from Kuandian on the East Road, Du Song might have arrived at the battlefield as soon as it was, so it was agreed that the main force of the Eight Banners would first attack Du Song and then fight at the camera.
The battlefield with Sarhu as the core is less than a hundred miles in radius, and the Eight Banners soldiers who fight at home and have a large number of war horses have strong mobility. However, the generals of the Ming army were not in harmony and communication was difficult. Yang Hao, who was in charge of Chenyang, had no coordination ability. The Ming army from Jing'an Fortress, which was the second sequence, was already tacit understanding, and the Ming army along the Qinghe route would have arrived at the battlefield in the end, so they could leave it alone.
In later generations, those who praised Nuerhaci regarded him as a genius military strategist. Zhang Han was here, and he felt that on one side were the Eight Banners driving the fog of war, and on the other side were the Ming army, which was almost completely transparent. This battle was also fought like this even if ordinary people came to command. Before the Ming army started the battle, they had already been pulled off their bottom and lost completely. The rest was to see how they performed on the battlefield.
He Heli was on duty at the Zhenghongqi Yamen. This person has a gentle personality and is very polite to Zhang Han, but everyone has no intention of gossiping, and everyone has the nervous feeling that something big is coming.
This is the first time Zhang Han is in such a place. The air is filled with the smell of war. Everyone's heart is tense. Fortunately, the Eight Banners have already experienced eight battles, and the atmosphere is only solemn and a little nervous. However, no one is mentally broken or nervous to the point of fear.
He couldn't help but think about the situation in Chenyang City. According to Li Yongfang's tip, the city was shocked overnight, and the emotions from officials to the people were very unstable.
At this time, information is not spread smoothly. The more this happens, all kinds of rumors are rumored. Because of poor communication, all kinds of exaggerated and inaccurate news are the most marketable. The more people are afraid of, the more terrifying the spreading news is. Under the operation of Li Yongfang, the subtle works of the Later Jin Dynasty kept sending news in Shenyang and Liaoyang, creating a terrifying atmosphere and disrupting the rear of the Ming army. This approach reached its peak when attacking Shenyang and Liaoyang, achieving the effect of directly affecting the war.
Zhang Han is a good student and remembers every bit in his heart.
After midnight, everyone felt tired, but no one went to sleep, and everyone knew that big things were coming.
Even the city of Hetuala is awake, with stars and lights of candlelight everywhere, which complement the dazzling starlight above your head.
There were also people talking and walking, and the neighing sounds of horses came from time to time.
He Heli was constantly issuing orders to deal with some emergency situations. There were some emergencies in each flag and Niulu. As the minister on duty, He Heli had the right to deal with it at the camera.
The various political structures of the Later Jin Dynasty were clearly divided into levels, and there was no distinction between civil and military affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and there was no eunuchs and nobles. The only hidden danger was the forced annexation of the remaining tribes, but under the attraction of the war dividends, this part of the hidden dangers did not have the chance to be exposed.
At least in Zhang Han's eyes, the Later Jin Dynasty was an efficient war machine at this time. He Heli and others were part of this machine, and everything was operating for war.
After the third update, nearly four updates, the weather was also the coldest time of the day. The yamen was a big house with a stove in the corners to keep warm, which still made people feel cold in their hands and feet. Chang Wei leaned outside the house, lying with his clothes, and squeezed into the same place with Liang Xing and others. Everyone's backpacks were untied, and the bedding was covered together, and the snoring sounds of sleeping.
In addition to the armored soldiers and flag soldiers who were on the night, there were such crowds everywhere.
Zhang Han and Li Yongfang were chatting in a low voice, while He Heli closed his eyes and rested. The busy first half of the night passed, and there was almost nothing wrong in the second half of the night.
At this time, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the courtyard. Li Yongfang was excited and showed a nervous look on his face. He suddenly stood up and sat down slowly. Zhang Han saw that his hands were trembling a little.
This guy is not as calm as he seems on the surface...
He Heli opened his eyes, leaned against the back of the chair and did not get up.
"General Manager," came in with a soldier wearing armored red flag. He bent his knees and beaten a thousand times on the spot, saying: "The Ming army left Fushun Pass last night. The slave saw his helmets like the sea and swords and guns like forests. The Ming army marches day and night with torches day and night. Yesterday, he marched for nearly a hundred miles from Fushun Pass to Wudaoling and approaching the west bank of the Hunhe River."
"It's really crazy!"
He Heli snorted coldly from his nostrils and said, "Marched from torches day and night, traveling a hundred miles a day... Du Crazy, indeed, he is so crazy. People say he is Grand Master Du, so he really thinks he can be invincible."
He asked the sharp-whistle armored soldiers: "When you came all the way, you saw the Ming army building a camp?"
"No." The whistle was covered in mud and sweating profusely. The bank of Hun River was dozens of miles away from Hetuala. After confirming the enemy situation, the whistle had to rush back quickly, so it looked extremely embarrassed.
After answering, he hesitated on his face, but continued: "At that time, we saw the Ming army's appearance, and seemed to be testing the current of the water, and seemed to be looking for a place to cross the river."
"Crazy, it's crazy!"
He Heli looked shocked. He had fought with Nuerhaci for thirty years. It was the first time he had seen such a arrogant enemy. He vaguely felt that if the head coach of the Ming army fought like this, this battle of clan luck would be easily won. Du Song's advance was too frivolous, too irritable and unruly. Such a head coach was the most elite main force of the Ming army. As long as he broke this road, he would probably have won this great victory.
Zhang Han felt speechless on the side, and his mind was a little short-circuited, and he actually remembered Huang Wei's advance in the decisive battle.
If he had the opportunity to overlook the march route between Du Song and the Ming army, he would probably have the same feeling. Tens of thousands of people marched, even if it was a cold weapon, his momentum would probably not be weak.
He Heli was already looking at the map on the wall.
There are also maps here in the Later Jin Dynasty, which are of course very simple. They are not qualified to find qualified drawing masters in the capital. The method they use is very rough. They probably found someone who can make drawings in the Liaodong Wei Institute, and their level is very poor.
But Zhang Han's opinion is roughly not bad.
He Heli's identity and experience, at first glance, his vision is the key point, and it is also the place where Sarhu is standardized in Mongolian language!
Sarhu is located on the south bank of Hun River at the foot of Jiefan Mountain. The terrain of Jiefan Mountain is dangerous and has a cliff. The steepest place is Jilin Cliff. The Hun River flows from northeast to southwest, and the Suzi River flows from southeast to northwest at the foot of Jiefan Mountain. The south bank of Hun River at the foot of the mountain is Sarhu. Sarhu and Jiefan Mountain Jilin Cliff look across the river and serve as horns. After passing Jiefan and Sarhu, there is a large plain area. After going straight for dozens of miles, it is where Hetuala is!
This is why the most important reason is the Ming Army West Road.
Breaking through the key pass and attacking the core, the Western Route Army is of course the top priority and undoubtedly the main force.
"I'll go see Da Khan."
He Lihe made a decision in the blink of an eye. He grabbed the warm hat with red tassels on the table and said to Zhang Han and Li Yongfang: "Fushun's eh, you are here to wait for news. Lord Zhang must not act alone. The soldiers are in danger. It is very dangerous if you can't take care of one on the battlefield."
Zhang Han said: "Don't worry, Lord He, I'm not Madman Du."
He Heli laughed and strode away. Li Yongfang also shook his head and smiled, his face full of contempt.
Although Zhang Han said this, his mentality was actually very complicated. He knew that the Ming army would definitely not win, but the way the main general played was really unacceptable. When he saw Li Yongfang's expression again, he wanted to kick this guy.
He said to Li Yongfang: "Well, I used to be a guerrilla army in the Liaodong army, so did I lead troops to fight in this way?"
Li Yongfang was a little embarrassed and said, "I have never fought a war. I was just guarding the gate and leading troops to patrol the border without any trouble. At that time, Lao Khan was very polite to me and never made any trouble."
"However," Li Yongfang continued: "The Ming generals were not very careful in doing detailed intelligence. The eldest son of the Li family also died while damaging the nest, which was a pity."
Li Yongfang was talking about Li Rusong at this time. Only Li Rusong, the sects of Li Chengliang, looked the most like him. He was bold and meticulous, and had the talent of a general. Li Rumei was also extremely brave, but her temper was too violent and could only be a general but not a general.
Li Rusong lost hundreds of his subordinates in the battle of Bitiguan, and cried all day long. Later, he was discouraged and retreated directly from the battlefield of North Korea and the New Zealand battlefield back to Liaodong.
Later generations do not understand it very much. In fact, the hundreds of people who died were not ordinary soldiers, but were all the most elite servants raised by the Li family. If the Ming army did not use servants as the main force, they would not be able to hold on in the Bitiguan, and they would be defeated directly. After all, Li Rusong was careless for a moment.
The characteristic of Li Rusong's battle is that he is like Li Chengliang, with a light soldier and sharp cavalry, and he is bold and quick to advance. He does not relax when he catches the fighter plane. He bites the enemy with the light cavalry, constantly chops and kills, and finally bites the enemy with a piece of meat.
Such a tactic is of course sharp, and the biggest problem is that it is easy to get caught. As long as the enemy is prepared in advance and set up ambush, the cavalry that attacked the enemy does not have the power to fight for a long time, it will be dangerous at that time. Li Rusong likes to fight and rush forward with a strong force and holds a sharp edge. As a result, he died in one battle. The Liaodong coach changed people many times after him, but no one can compare with Li Rusong.
Zhang Han said with a deep meaning: "Even if Li Rusong leads his troops, it will be much better."
Li Yongfang first made a battle, and then laughed and said, "Wen Lan said it well, that's the reason. With the old Khan leading the army, even if Prince Ning Yuan was unable to get it."
