- After resting for a night, Zhao Hongyu asked the army to set off early the next morning and began to march towards Dorgonqi's station.
In this regard, Zhao Hongyu had no intention of concealing anything and was completely making a big show of it. Therefore, the movements here were easily seen by the spies sent by Dorgon, and they quickly reported back to Dorgon.
In this regard, Dorgon still doesn't understand that the other party is forcing him to fight.
Nowadays, the general environment is very unfavorable to Dorgon. To the east of them, the Koreans gathered an army of 300,000 people. Although the Korean army was completely fragile, there was no need to take it seriously.
With just the 150,000 elite soldiers of the Eight Banners in his hand, he can definitely defeat them.
But that is only possible under normal circumstances.
Now that the main force of the Song people has arrived to their west, the Koreans can no longer take care of them.
Because if we go to attack the Koreans now, the Song people in the west will definitely not miss this opportunity and will hit them hard from behind.
Therefore, the Koryo people, who are the weakest and most vulnerable, should stay in the west.
The main enemy is the Song people, and all energy and attention must be placed on the Song people.
As long as the threat from the Song people can be eliminated, it will be easy to go back and deal with the Korean people.
Of course, although the 300,000 Goryeo people <Chang><Feng>Wenxu are invincible, if they are to join forces with the Song people, they will still pose a great threat to their own side.
Dorgon felt anxious in her heart, and this feeling made her very uncomfortable.
To put it bluntly, Dorgon is actually a little panicked about the current situation.
Duduo and all the nobles are now like ants on a hot pot, completely losing their cool.
With the arrival of the main force of the Song Dynasty, their pressure doubled, as if a heavy stone was pressed on their hearts. It left them a little breathless.
In the end, Dorgon made the decision to fight the Song people.
It¡¯s a blessing, not a curse, it¡¯s a curse that cannot be avoided!
To the east are the Koryo people, to the south is the Ming Dynasty, and the Song people are pressing forward from the west. It can be said that they have no way out.
Although there are no enemies or obstacles in this direction, the north is very desolate and a completely uninhabited area.
If Dorgon and the others flee north, how long can they escape?
?A very real problem. Because there is no one there to snatch supplies for them, they will eventually starve to death in the north.
It has to be said that the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty advocated martial arts, and everyone did not focus on production and focused all their energy on weapons and equipment. At first glance, it is very good.
But now, a very bad side has been exposed.
Let¡¯s fight!
¡°You might be able to make a living if you work hard, but if you don¡¯t work hard, there will really be no way of living at all.
Dorgon and Duduo, as well as a group of Manchu nobles and nobles. Everyone is already aware of the current situation.
Therefore, they cannot help but have more choices.
If Dorgon had not attacked Daishan a few days ago, Dorgon and the others would have definitely survived if they had chosen to surrender.
However, this approach has been adopted since Dorgon led his troops to raid Daishan last night. It has been blocked by themselves.
"Zhao Hongyu is not a good man or woman, especially for these nobles of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty.
In fact, in private, many people from Dorgon secretly sent people to say that they wanted to surrender.
pity. For these people, Zhao Hongyu's only intention was to cut off their heads and throw them to the roadside.
Surrender?
??Joke. What have you been doing?
It¡¯s now time to choose to surrender.
It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t given them a chance, but what kind of choice did these people make?
Grandma, I just chose to surrender now. It's a pity that you only have one chance. If you miss it, you won't get it again.
And Zhao Hongyu¡¯s attitude made everyone despair.
In this desperate mood, the only choice these people on Dorgon's side can make is to fight.
??????????????????????????????? If there is still a chance if you work hard, it is always better than if you don¡¯t work hard.
Dorgon's 150,000 elite bannermen began to prepare as Zhao Hongyu's army advanced step by step.
He abandoned his camp in order to fight Zhao Hongyu andThe Chinese army, Dorgon and the others chose a more suitable place. A small plain located near Pyongyang, this area was used as the venue for the decisive battle.
At least, choosing this place is more conducive to the Eight Banners Cavalry charge, which may give them a slight advantage.
Regarding the movement of Dorgon's army, Zhao Hongyu quickly grasped its dynamic information.
And after analysis by his staff, they came to the conclusion that the location was conducive to a cavalry charge.
It¡¯s just that they don¡¯t care at all about Zhao Hongyu¡¯s favorable conditions in Dorgon¡¯s opinion.
You must know that in front of the imperial machine that has been activated, cavalry charge has no advantage at all. The only role they can play is to send someone to death.
So, how can you care about it?
As for uniting with the Koreans, Zhao Hongyu had never thought about it.
Because the Korean people's fighting power is too weak, they can't be counted on at all.
Rather than letting them cause trouble, Zhao Hongyu thought it was best to let them stay quietly.
"The 150,000 elite soldiers of the Eight Banners have arrived at the small plain on the other side of Pyongyang, and have set up a formation and are waiting for our army to arrive. According to the analysis of our staff, when our army arrives, Dorgon They will not give us a chance to reorganize their troops and will launch an attack immediately."
Riding on the horse, Zhao Hongyu told Li Zicheng the analysis of his staff, so that he could understand some of the current situation.
"Oh, if that's the case, the war may be a little unfavorable to our side. After all, His Royal Highness's army is mostly infantry, but Dorgon's 158,000 bannermen are all cavalry. So, are we? A little adventurous?"
Li Zicheng¡¯s thinking is still the normal thinking mode of people in this era. In his opinion, infantry is at a very disadvantage against cavalry.
Therefore, Li Zicheng felt that it was very dangerous for Zhao Hongyu to lead the army to fight at the location chosen by Dorgon and the others.
"I think that in fact, His Highness the Crown Prince does not need to follow Dorgon's idea at all. He can take a path from the plain. By stationing a large army here, he can threaten them."
Li Zicheng raised his hand and pointed at a poor-quality military map in front of him and said to Zhao Hongyu.
This inferior hand-drawn map was given to him by Zhao Hongyu.
Although this map is hand-drawn, it is not very sophisticated.
However, it also gave Li Zicheng a great shock.
At least, Li Zicheng didn¡¯t know that he had to read the map when fighting.
With this inferior hand-drawn map, Li Zicheng can grasp the environment of large areas around Pyongyang and make the best choice based on this.
Zhao Hongyu glanced at it. It was discovered that the place Li Zicheng was referring to was a forest area on the outskirts of Pyongyang's small plain. And here there is indeed a great advantage over the infantry, and it can restrain the charge of the cavalry.
However, Zhao Hongyu would not do this. He wanted to defeat Dorgon's army from the front. It allowed Li Zicheng to see how powerful the empire was, and he also hoped that through this battle, he would remind all the Manchus and cast a shadow on them that "the empire is powerful and invincible."
The cavalry is in this era, and for a long time to come. They are all mainstream arms.
"It's a pity that in the face of the cheating Imperial Army, it is impossible for the cavalry to exert any advantage.
It is even less likely that there will be an advantage.
Today, Zhao Hongyu will make everyone realize this. And it will be etched in their hearts forever.
"Don't go to such trouble. Dorgon and the others can't pose much of a threat to us. I can tell you this from the responsible person, because we have the capital. Instead of being blindly conceited."
Zhao Hongyu smiled while sitting on the horse and did not say any more words.
Seeing this, Li Zicheng stopped speaking. He also wondered why the Crown Prince of Song Dynasty was so sure and confident about this matter.
You know, that is an army composed of 150,000 elite cavalry.
Of course, some of these things are very complicated to talk about. Zhao Hongyu couldn't explain it clearly at the moment, so the best way was to let Li Zicheng see and experience it with his own eyes through this battle.
About a few hours later, at noon, Zhao Hongyu led the army to finally arrive at the site of the decisive battle.
As expected, as the staff analyzed, when Zhao Hongyu and the others arrived, Dorgon's side, which had been prepared for a long time, did not give them a chance to organize their army.A desolate horn sound sounded, and the 158,000 banner cavalry launched a charge.
What kind of scene would a 150,000 cavalry charge look like?
If you want to describe it, the charge of these 150,000 cavalry is like an erupting torrent, or like the waves that constantly hit the shore when the tide rises on the Qiantang River. Those who are less timid will be shocked by such a scene. My legs are weak, I want to turn around and run, I don't have the courage to fight at all.
It¡¯s a pity that Dorgon had a good plan and wanted to control the situation with momentum. But what they faced was the imperial army that was out of control, so the inhuman deterrence caused by the charge of 150,000 troops had no effect at all.
Of course, this is only for the Imperial Army.
The Daishan Department on the left wing was already in a panic, and some of the timid soldiers began to run backwards.
For this reason, Daishan had to order his direct troops to execute those who deserted to stabilize the front.
Those who are better than Daishan and others are the tens of thousands of Kyushu Japanese soldiers on the right wing, but they are only slightly better than Daishan.
The Japanese had seen such a large-scale cavalry charge, and this scene alone made them dumbfounded.
It¡¯s just that the Japanese were able to stand firm and there were no deserters just because they were inspired by the fierceness in their bones under this scene.
Now, it depends on whether the Imperial Army in the center can withstand the charge. As long as the Imperial Army can withstand the charge, then the Japanese Army can also withstand it.
But once the Imperial Army cannot withstand it, everything will be over.
As for whether the Imperial Army can work, in fact, this is not a question at all.
??At least, in the eyes of Zhao Hongyu and the Chinese officers of the empire, it is not a problem.
"Check the barrel! Load the gunpowder! The artillery crew is ready, load the explosive shells, adjust the distance" Facing the aggressive charge of the 158,000 banner cavalry, the grassroots officers of the Imperial Army began to be very orderly and calm. The soldiers under his command began to prepare. (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
