Mang Gurtai led the Eight Banners Army under his command, and was using the Mongolian's shooting tactics to encircle Governor Kobayashi's Kyushu Army.
At this moment, the Eight Banners Army had just detoured to the left side of the Kyushu Army. The entire army was focused on the Japanese soldiers and did not even notice that there was a threat coming from the rear.
By this time, the battle had been going on for an hour or so.
Governor Kobayashi had already seen the team appearing behind the Eight Banners Army, and he could clearly see the flag of this team through a monocular telescope. He knew that this was his own reinforcements, so he was reassured.
In the era of cold weapons, fighting a battle is very time-consuming.
Usually, it is normal to take a day and a half day. It is rare for one side to collapse immediately upon entering into a battle, unless the disadvantage of one side is extremely obvious.
Therefore, the time it took for Yoshida Gotaro and the thousand-man team to defeat the opponent was only a few dozen minutes.
If you calculate it more carefully, it is perfectly normal for more than an hour to charge into the entire formation, plus give orders and so on.
The people from the reinforcements came to tell me that the reinforcements were still ten miles away from us. If calculated based on time, we should indeed have arrived at the battlefield.
Therefore, the team that appears behind the enemy is definitely our own reinforcements.
What¡¯s more, the flag was confirmed.
hey-hey!
Now that the reinforcements have arrived, can the enemy who is attacking us still escape?
Anyway, Governor Kobayashi and others, who are very superstitious about the power of the Imperial Army, are not worried about this issue at all.
Arrows continued to fall from the sky, one after another landing on the anti-riot shields raised by the Kyushu soldiers and being bounced away, causing no harm to them at all.
It can be said that from the beginning of the battle to the present, the Eight Banners Army has not caused much effective damage to Governor Kobayashi and others.
On the contrary, they themselves lost a thousand soldiers and horses because of their previous carelessness.
You must know that the army led by Mang Gurtai is all Manchu cavalry. There were no foreign warriors mixed into it. Therefore, the loss of a thousand people is not small.
Usually, the troops sent out by Hou Jin were not just Manchu troops.
This also includes troops composed of Han troops, Koreans and Mongols.
For example, troops composed of Koreans, Han troops and Mongolians were all good cannon fodder for Hou Jin.
Therefore, in the battle against the Ming Dynasty, these three types of troops were often sent to take the lead to consume the Ming army's vigor, strength and physical strength.
Waiting for the Manchu generals at the rear. Only after finding the flaws of the Ming army on the battlefield would the elite Manchu troops attack.
Such tactics were not only used against the Ming Dynasty, but were also used when invading Goryeo and Mongolian tribes.
What I have to say is that the Han army in the Later Jin army also included the Mongolian army and the Koryo army. The fighting power that was unleashed when attacking one's own country was actually more than usual.
¡°This is really a strange thing, I have to say.
¡°Perhaps there is this cruel factor in the bones of human beings themselves, and it will explode more thoroughly when massacring fellow humans.
Of course, the above are all speculations and there is no scientific conclusion.
But the reality is indeed true, and it is very puzzling.
In another time and space. In fact, it is often not the invaders who are the most serious in massacring and killing local people. On the contrary, it is the various traitors who have taken refuge with the invaders who are the most powerful.
Bringing the topic back, when Mang Gurtai lost a thousand Manchu troops, no wonder he became so angry.
After all, the total number of Manchus in the entire Later Jin Kingdom was less than 2 million.
He lost a thousand dollars in one fell swoop. How could he not feel distressed?
not to mention. The army he led was all composed of bannermen from the Zhenglan Banner.
Now, with the help of Daishan, he has seized the power of the leader of the Zhenglan Banner. These people were soldiers during the war, but in normal times they were his slaves and his personal property.
Yo!
With such a huge loss of one's own property, it is not surprising that the Manggultai outbreak occurred.
But. Rage is not helpful in battle. What can help Mang Gurtai should be tactics that effectively defeat the enemy.
The enemy is like a tortoise shrinking into a strong shell, letting its ownThe attack had no effect.
In this regard, Mang Gurtai was angry and resentful.
To know. Although the Eight Banners soldiers and cavalry are superb, their arrows are numerous.
¡°An attack like this can no longer be used once the arrows are exhausted.
¡°These damn enemies, can¡¯t they act like a man and fight him face to face with a knife?
It has to be said that Mang Gurtai, who was so angry that he was confused, had a somewhat crazy idea.
On the battlefield and in battle, it doesn¡¯t matter what method you use. What matters is to help your side effectively win the final victory.
Therefore, Mang Gurtai¡¯s idiotic idea is a bit too taken for granted.
Thinking about it from another angle, if Mang Gurtai had changed places by himself, would he have issued such a stupid order?
?Obviously, that's impossible.
Because, basically, the party that has the upper hand will not issue such a stupid order.
Only a relatively weak side, a guy like Mang Gurtai, would come up with such a stupid idea.
This is war, not a game of house.
And it is impossible for the other party to implement their own fighting method according to your ideas.
Therefore, Mang Gurtai could only feel resentful in his heart.
But it doesn¡¯t help at all with reality.
Anger returned, but Mang Gurtai quickly suppressed his anger and took a serious look at the situation he was currently in.
The enemy is now like a big turtle, and the attack method used by our side is obviously not able to cause much damage to the opponent.
This is extremely detrimental to our own side.
Especially since the number of arrows is limited, they will eventually be used up.
So, now there is only one way out for Mang Gurtai.
That is to think of a solution quickly, while our own side still has the advantage in military strength.
Otherwise, once the soldiers¡¯ arrows are exhausted. Then we can only rush into formation.
Although Mang Gurtai occasionally has some crazy ideas, he is not a real idiot after all.
As the son of Nurhaci, he has followed Nurhaci since the day he was born, and his brothers have experienced too many battles.
Therefore, Mang Gurtai can be regarded as a general who has experienced hundreds of battles.
Because of this, he has a very clear and profound judgment on the situation he is currently in.
The enemy¡¯s turtle battle formation. If we charge forcefully, let alone whether we can break through, we will definitely cause great damage to our own side when we rush into the formation.
Those spears, which are like thorns on a hedgehog, are densely packed in front of the formation. Just looking at them makes people feel scalp numb.
Not to mention what would happen if the cavalry rushed over.
You can figure it out even if you think about it with your butt. It must be human meat skewers.
Therefore, this method of rushing into the formation should never be done unless it is absolutely necessary.
These 30,000 soldiers and horses are his support and his capital to build a foothold on Houjin.
If you lose it, you will have almost nothing.
This guy Huang Taiji will definitely take the opportunity to deal with him.
??????????????????????????????????????????Don't think that he is a bullshit, one of the four great Baylors, in fact, it is just talk.
If you don¡¯t have military power in your hands. Huang Taiji would not be afraid of himself.
And others will not give themselves the respect they deserve.
To put it bluntly, no matter how big your face is, it all depends on your own military strength.
¡°If you have strength, you will have face, but if you don¡¯t have strength, you will have no face.
Look, it¡¯s that simple.
With this layer of scruples, Mang Gurtai will certainly choose a safe way to fight.
He doesn¡¯t want to waste all the money he has on hand here.
To know. He had lost a thousand soldiers and horses just now, and now his heart was bleeding.
A quick look at the surrounded enemies revealed that they numbered about 10,000.
This number is not small either.
If we fight head-on, at least we will lose a lot of troops on our side.
At the same time, based on the ferocity shown by the enemy previously, I thought that even if I use force,If you defeat the opponent through head-on confrontation, you will have to be mentally prepared to lose at least 15,000 troops.
no. Such a loss is too great.
It has exceeded the psychological limit that Mang Gurtai can bear.
It is absolutely unacceptable to lose half of your capital all at once.
Fortunately, Mang Gurtai has rich combat experience, and the Zhenglan Banner elite under his command is well-deserved.
This army also has a lot of combat experience, so some of the lower-level officers and soldiers. They all noticed something was wrong.
"Master, this is not the way to go. The soldiers' arrows simply cannot sustain the consumption for too long."
At this time, Commander Geshiha, the personal guard who was following Mang Gurtai, came to Mang Gurtai's side on horseback and reminded him.
Of course Mang Gurtai also knew that this would not work.
However, for the time being, he had not thought of any good solution.
So, he turned to ask his Goshiha personal guard commander this question: "So what good way do you have to deal with these enemies on the opposite side?"
The commander of Goshiha smiled: "It's not difficult to say, just treat it as a siege. Obviously the opponent's position cannot be as strong as the city wall."
Mang Gurtai's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself: This is no good, just think of it as an siege.
And this time he led the army not just to capture Jincheng, so he had ready-made siege equipment in the army.
"Use the stone to hit me! Break the enemy's position for me!"
Yes, although the Kyushu Army's Turtle Formation seems to have no weaknesses, in fact it is not the case.
