- "It turns out that this is the Bali Bridge"
Tang Jian breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Pang Yu again:
"Your analysis last nightare you sure that Huang Taiji will definitely come?"
——The night before yesterday, when Qiong Haijun returned to Tongzhou, a telegram suddenly came from the northern latitude, saying that he had lost surveillance of Houjin's main force and that the whereabouts of the opponent's army was unknown.
Being able to prevent Northern Latitude’s subordinates from continuing to monitor them shows that Huang Taiji must have adopted the greatest expulsion and warning measures to temporarily drive away Qiong Haijun’s reconnaissance personnel. But it also shows that he must make big moves next, which is why he behaves so cautiously.
For this reason, Pang Yu asked the troops to stay in Tongzhou for a day, waiting for further information from the North Latitude - with the capabilities of the North Latitude Reconnaissance Battalion, even if the target is temporarily lost, it can be found soon. Now is a critical moment, and the military must be cautious in its actions. Therefore, even though Zhang Fengyi and Cao Huachun came over to urge him several times, Pang Yu still managed to use words to deal with it. For a whole day, the army stayed in Tongzhou without moving.
At night, new information arrived. Although North Latitude had not yet found the opponent's main force, through some clues, he judged that the opponent's army had crossed Beijing and was heading towards Tongzhou.
Having this level of information was enough, so that night, Pang Yu conducted an analysis on this:
"As I said last time: No mature commander can expect to get the conditions for a war that completely suit his own wishes - we can't, and neither can Huang Taiji. For him, it is certainly best to ambush or surprise us. , but even if he influenced the Ming court through strategy, our actions have told him: Our army will not act along the route he imagined, and we will not give him the opportunity to make a surprise attack."
"And he also has his own difficulties - once the army is dispatched, it is impossible to withdraw without gain. After all, Huang Taiji is commanding a coalition army. No matter how much the Mongols convince him, they cannot be like dogs. Take him everywhere with him. Especially after the initial strategy failed, he must come up with a way to make up for it as soon as possible to regain the stability of people's hearts."
"So Huang Taiji is riding a tiger now. Since he has taken the initiative to come to us, he has obviously decided on a strategy - if he cannot fight an ambush, he will instead intercept from the front and fight a face-to-face battle with our army. For him, It is also an acceptable result.”
"And Tongzhou is only one day away from Beijing. Our army will inevitably encounter the interception of Houjin's main force halfway when we set off tomorrow. Instead of doing this, I thought it would be better to find a place, set up a battle formation and wait shortly after departure. Huang Taiji took the initiative to come and fight us."
"What if he doesn't come?"
When Tang Jian asked, Pang Yu laughed:
"That's easy, let's just go back to Tongzhou - it's close anyway, and we can return to the city at any time. Our army left him here for a day, which actually reminded him - we don't have the only option to move forward. "
"And as long as our army stays in Tongzhou, it is impossible for Huang Taiji to attack Beijing. It will be detrimental to him if the two sides continue to waste their lives like this. So as long as we assume the posture of fighting in the open air and are not too close to the city, he will definitely take the initiative Come over here and have a showdown with our army!”
——This is Pang Yu’s analysis of the battle situation last night. At this time, hearing Tang Jian ask this question again, Pang Yu thought for a moment and still nodded confidently:
"He will definitely come."
Tang Jian looked at him and remembered that Pang Yu's guesses about the enemy's movements during this period were basically correct, so he raised a hand and conveyed orders to the surrounding people:
"All troops, stop advancing and build positions!"
"Stop moving forward!"
"Build a fighting position!"
"Artillery discharge!"
…As Tang Jian’s instructions were conveyed, the troops dispersed in the order that had been arranged before and began to arrange combat positions. At this point, Pang Yu is of no use - he is only responsible for finding fighters, and at most a battlefield. How to fight depends on the abilities of Tang Jian and the others.
In fact, it is Ma Qianshan who is mainly giving orders at this moment, because this combat position is arranged with artillery as the core. A force of five to six thousand people would not occupy much space according to the ancient war model, but if it were a modern army, it would have nearly half a division, and its combat width would be at least a dozen kilometers.
The Qiong Navy was neither an ancient army nor a modern army. It was somewhere in between, and the positions they set up were neither large nor small. In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty generals who were accustomed to hand-to-hand combat, their positions were terrifyingly thin. , it only takes a burst of charge to break through.
But in a horse country that is accustomed to measuring everything by the power of artillery,From his perspective, there is not enough room for him to move around in this place right now. The people are too dense, so we can only make do by building a dojo in a snail shell.
Fortunately, small positions also have advantages - only one or two artillery positions can completely cover the surrounding area. Ma Qianshan found a commanding height, stood up and watched for a moment, then quickly marked off the area and let the artillery positions be placed in sequence. The rest of the infantry also dug trenches and laid iron nets accordingly, and were very busy.
After a while, he found Pang Yu again:
"Are you sure the opponent will attack from two directions?"
"Obviously, the telegram from Northern Latitude said that the two white flags have not been found. With Huang Taiji's shrewdness, there is no way that he would let this unit miss the decisive battle. They must form a separate team and wait to come at the critical moment. A two-sided attack."
In fact, they have repeatedly considered how to arrange the battlefield, and have made a lot of various preferred plans, backup plans, third plans and so on. Lao Ma came over to confirm again at this time, just for peace of mind - after all, for him, this opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he was inevitably a little uneasy.
After receiving a positive answer, Ma Qianshan no longer hesitated and deployed his troops along the Tonghui River as planned. Although Tonghui River is not very wide in this section, nor is it too deep. But for Qiong Haijun, a trench and barbed wire were enough to form a solid defense line. For a river that is wide and deep enough for boats to sail, and whose bottom is full of silt, the blocking effect of mounted infantry in this era cannot be overestimated.
The only flaw in this natural defense line is the Yongtong Bridge with a bridge deck width of 16 meters. For roads in this era, 16 meters is definitely a thoroughfare. If the enemy attacks from the other side of the river, The capture of this bridge will definitely be the main target.
"However, Qiong Haijun has also been prepared for this. If the opponent really attempts to seize the bridge from the other side of the river, they will have a secret weapon that will give them a good drink.
Relying on the Tonghui River, Ma Qianshan formed a relatively flat position. The two regiments on the left and right guard one end respectively, while the artillery position is placed in the middle, ready to support all directions.
The central position of this position seems relatively weak, and placing the artillery position here can easily induce the enemy commander to make a central assault decision, but this is precisely a trap - if the enemy really dares to charge like this, the two wings will be It can create a cross-fire effect, allowing soldiers of this era who are not familiar with hot weapon combat to have a good idea of ??what a fire network is.
The last regiment serves as the general reserve, used to make up for possible mistakes on various fronts, and as the forward when attacking outwards. After some pushing and pushing, this glorious task was handed over to the third regiment on the grounds that they had the most practical experience in Liaodong and were suitable for this most difficult job.
Of course, Jie Xi was not satisfied with this, but he could only obey honestly what Tang Jian and Wang Haiyang decided together. So after ordering the commanders and fighters of the third regiment to disperse and assist the first and second regiments in digging trenches and setting up positions, Jie Xi walked up to Pang Yu with great enthusiasm and watched him negotiating with several Ming Dynasty officers.
——These people are the subordinates who were left behind by Wu Sangui and served as the eyes and ears of the Qiong Navy. Seeing that the war was about to begin, they came over to say goodbye and prepare to report to the head of the family.
"Go and say hello to your little generalwell, and the old soldier. The winner will probably be decided within today. It's up to them to decide how to choose the fighter plane. I believe they will find a good opportunity. of."
Pang Yu couldn't help but laugh softly when he said this. The Liao Town generals thought he was encouraging them and quickly laughed with him. Little did he know that Pang Yu thought of Wu Sangui's many "magnificent turns" at this time. There was absolutely no doubt about that boy's ability to seize opportunities. In addition, with his father, a horse dealer who was well versed in the geography of Gyeonggi, leading the way, Pang Yu believed that he would definitely Will appear at the most appropriate time.
After these people got on their horses and galloped away, Pang Yu felt like he was having a banquet, and had nothing to do.
The two looked at each other, smiled at each other, and then simply went to Yongtong Bridge and stood together with a group of "idle people".
The so-called idle personnel, of course, refer to those officials and generals of the Ming Dynasty. Although they had all changed into short-haired green military uniforms at this time, they had no way to get involved in Qiong Haijun's entire military system. At this time, they could only stand on the Yongtong Bridge to avoid getting in the way.
The bridge deck of Yongtong Bridge is very high. This is to ensure that the middle hole under the bridge is high enough so that ships can pass without lowering the masts. Therefore, there is a local saying that "the mast will not drop at the head of the eight-mile bridge".
And at this moment, this place happens to be used as a commanding observation point - the position is high, the feet are?The masonry bridge deck is flat, so you can stand just right. There are many stone lions of different shapes carved on the bridge railings. A group of Ming Dynasty officials stood on the railings, watching the army disperse at an astonishing speed and rearrange themselves into a battle posture.
Although they could not understand the significance of Qiong Haijun’s arrangement of the formation like this, through the soldiers’ firm and courageous actions and quick and skillful cooperation, those Ming officials could at least feel that this was an extremely terrifying war machine.
And now, it has opened its fangs and sharp mouth, waiting for prey to come to its door
