    (Brother D, your Rocket Battalion is very good. I have always been a book friend. The power of the Twelve-Strength Bow is 158.7 pounds, which is similar to the Shangli Bow in the Ming Army. Li Guang and Yue Fei can drive stronger tigers on horses.  The power of the bow exceeds 200 pounds, and the bow can be fired left or right. Later generations of otakus played with 35-pound bows, 25-pound bows, and they were great masters who could shoot 50-pound bows.  The sixth to eighth forces of the Army did not meet the standard of cavalry archery (80 to 100 pounds of draw force). It is difficult to imagine the combat effectiveness of elite soldiers in ancient times.) Early on the morning of the 19th, General Gao Gui of the White Tiger Army's Left Camp and the Chinese Army's Cavalry Left Camp.  Zhuang Jizu led an army of 30,000 people and set out. In the end, Wang Dou agreed to Han Chao's revised opinion and allowed the troops to attack the bandits on the side to set off early, and added 10,000 troops.  After they arrive at Xishan, they will lurk at the foot of Cuifeng Mountain near the mountains. Then at the agreed time on the 20th, they will immediately attack the capital thirty miles away, quickly enter the inner and outer cities from Fucheng Gate and Guang'an Gate, and wipe out the flow of people inside the city.  Thief, capture the capital.  Gao Gui and others bid farewell to Wang Dou with determination and left. The sergeants they led, from cavalry to infantry, from the second-class army to the third-class army, also left with firm expressions.  They had solemn faces and were convinced of the success of this trip.  At the same time, at dawn, the 20,000-strong army that was attacking the Tatars on the flank also hid in the mountains of Changping Army. Compared with the flanking bandits, they had more elite soldiers. Even the first battalion of the C-class army had horses for everyone.  The soldiers and horses of the large flank attack bandits set off early, requiring less maneuverability. The horses and mules they had vacated could just be replenished to this side.  But they will set off at some point during the war on the 20th. The Tatars are no better than bandits. They are densely covered with sentries and cavalry. It is impossible to hide such a large group of people and horses from them. What this army is fighting is the time difference between the Tatars and their reaction.  So at this time, General Bao Tao and the main general Gao Shiyin were still with Wang Dou, inspecting possible battlefield positions such as Damerling and Huilongguan with him.  They went up to Damer Ridge and looked out. They saw that the Shunjun camp ten miles away was vast and endless. It spread for more than twenty miles from east to west and many miles in depth. There were dense forests of flags flying in various colors.  In the wilderness between them, groups of cavalry fought against each other, spying on each other's camps, and covering their own positions to build defense lines.  The sound of gunfire can be heard from time to time in the field, and eye-catching white smoke rises in bursts. The current sentinel battle is not only the cavalry of Shaanxi and Gansu, but also the Jingbian Army has invested a large number of elite night warriors, as well as hussars and hunting cavalry from various armies.  them.  Obviously, his own whistle rides is upper hand, and the thief's victory is large. In addition, it is not a formal war, so the two sides maintain a situation of fighting.  Wang Dou looked through the telescope and saw the densely packed Shun army busy in front of their camp. They seemed to be building earthen platforms. After counting, there seemed to be ten earthen platforms.  "The bandits are building an artillery fort." Wen Fangliang said: "According to the information from the Ministry of Intelligence, after the bandits entered Beijing, they built a huge artillery camp because they captured a lot. There were 150 ordinary red barbarian cannons and four  There are fifty Lunmopan Hongyi heavy cannons, General Folang's three hundred cannons, and a total of five hundred cannons. There are also several car camps using small and medium-sized Folan cannons. " He said: "The four-wheeled Mopan cannons are.  The Qing cannons captured at that time could shoot three or four miles away, and they still fired more than ten kilograms. The bandits built artillery forts in the formation, obviously with the intention of bombarding our army's formation. " Wang Dou.  Nodding slightly, the bandits are indeed getting smarter in the use of artillery. At this time, the two sides cannot be too far apart, usually about two miles, and rarely three or four miles.  I remember that when he didn't have the red barbarian cannon, he would always be one mile or even two hundred steps away from the enemy.  If you don¡¯t have sharp arrows and artillery, or don¡¯t even understand the enemy¡¯s situation, and are caught off guard, you are very likely to suffer a big loss.  Xie Yike said: "General, the brothers from the Sentry Battalion have already found out clearly that the bandit's artillery fort is divided into three layers. The top is a four-wheel millstone cannon, and each fort has five heavy cannons. The second layer is ordinary red.  There are fifteen cannons in each fort. The third level is the general cannon, with thirty cannons in each fort. Then there will be a car camp and a cannon camp to guard the forts. " Gao Shiyin cursed, and then Mei Huan.  He smiled and said: "The thieves are becoming more and more cunning. Fortunately, our army has heavy artillery and rockets. They were four or five miles away, so we took care of all their artillery formations, vehicle formations, and gun formations." Wang Dou was surrounded by people.  Everyone showed a knowing smile. The bandits thought that their artillery that fired three or four miles away was invincible, but they didn't expect that their own side had sharper weapons than them.  And unlike the bandits, although our side also built artillery forts on the plains, they were several extended forts with different distances. The farthest distance from their fort was four miles, then three miles, and the closest was two miles.  The distance of four miles is just right. The bandit artillery claims to hit three or four miles. However, due to their poor gunners and shooting skills, this distance is actually very safe.  With rockets and heavy artillery mounted on these artillery forts, you can calmly bombard their artillery formations, especially when heavy rockets are pulled in.?is full coverage.  Based on the range of the Jingbian Army¡¯s heavy rockets, they can actually be placed on the Barrier Ridge. However, the closer the distance, the more accurate the attack. These artillery forts can also be placed with heavy rockets.  Then, after their artillery car camp and musket camp were beaten, rockets and heavy artillery were pushed closer to the artillery base two or three miles away from them, and they calmly bombarded their formation.  Of course, the above all refer to rockets, heavy artillery, ordinary artillery, red barbarian artillery, etc., which are all accompanied by the infantry formation and slowly advance.  Han Chao thought deeply: "Looking at the arrangement of the bandits, the main force of their old battalion is in the front. Their strategy at the beginning should also be to attack on both wings and defend in the middle. See the right time, and then the main force will thunder." Wen Fangliang smiled.  Said: "Just in time, our division is defending on both wings, and the main force is attacking their center. As long as their old camp is destroyed, the remaining bandits will be defeated immediately, and millions more will be useless." Everyone nodded. Both sides had similar calculations. They were both elite soldiers.  The main force is placed in the center, but the offensive and defensive ideas are different.  And the main purpose of this battle is to eliminate the old camp of the bandits. It has always been proved that no matter how many miscellaneous soldiers fight, it is useless. They still have to eliminate their old camp soldiers.  They looked at the defensive positions on the flanks, and then moved to the east of Baerling. This was the defensive position facing the Qing army. From this point of view, the core of the southeastern end was Huilongguan, which might be attacked by the Tatars at the same time.  The attack by Zi and the bandits is a serious one.  However, the defensive conditions here are also quite favorable. With Xuanfu Palace as the center, there are villages around where the herdsman soldiers lived in the early Ming Dynasty. For the Jingbian Army who is good at defense, no matter how rogue Tatars want to conquer this area,  The defense line is difficult to reach the sky.  There are actually villages in the central part and by the Shah River, especially the village in the central part called Zhuxinzhuang. There is a mountain ridge to the south. The mountain is not high, with an altitude of only ten meters above sea level, but it is quite wide, about two miles in length and breadth, and the top  The top is very flat and very suitable for placing rocket artillery.  According to the intelligence collected at night, the Qing troops entering the Pass also carried artillery, but they were four-wheeled heavy artillery with millstones brought from Shanhaiguan and other places, about forty or fifty.  It is estimated that they will also form a formation outside the three or four, and they will suffer the same tragedy as the bandits.  They climbed up the Zhuxinzhuang Mountains and saw the Qing army's sentries galloping in the distance. They used to be sneaky but now they are undisguised. Wang Dou looked through the telescope and remembered that Dorgon had asked the sentries to shoot a letter yesterday, saying,  This time I entered the customs to avenge your father, and expressed my willingness to cooperate to eliminate the bandits together.  Talking about this, Wang Dou laughed and said: "Dorgon thinks I am as stupid as Li Zicheng." All the generals laughed, and their disdainful laughter spread far and wide, echoing over the land.   "It doesn't matter whether you can deceive the bandits or not. Wang Dou will definitely defeat the bandits anyway, and they can't unite. We, the Qing Dynasty, are the most dominant party." Both sides of the Shahe River are full of secret camps, with various Qing army flags flying.  , in a large gilded tent, Dorgon looked at the map on the table and said to the Qing monarchs and ministers beside him.  He was surrounded by ministers from Manchu, Mongolian, Han, Dynasty, and Japanese banners, including the great scholar Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo, and Mongolian ministers from foreign vassals, including Wu Sangui, Tang Tong, Fan Zhiwan, and Li Yutian who had recently surrendered.  Liu Liangzuo et al.  Listening to Dorgon's words, Wu Sangui's face was expressionless, and Fang Guangchen next to him had an even dull expression. He didn't know why the situation became like this.  But obviously, Dorgon would not care about their mood. At this time, he said enthusiastically: "Fan Xueshi's strategy has shown results. Although the bandits are on guard, there is no big movement. He cannot fight with Wang Dou."  If you want to avoid it, our teacher can fight like a snipe and a clam, and the fisherman will benefit." Fan Wencheng knelt down and said: "This is all the result of your majesty's calculations. I dare not take the credit." Dorgon laughed and gave up kindly.  Fan Wencheng got up, and continued to point at the map and said: "Obviously, the battle between the bandits and Wang will not drag on any longer, and they will fight tomorrow. Therefore, my Qing strategic plan is to contain Wang Dou and let him fight  The thieves fight to the death, and at the same time, they wait for the opportunity to pick the fruits. "So, the plan for tomorrow is to use General Jingyuan and Prince Zheng Jierharang to lead the Manchuria Xianglan Banner to supervise the battle and lead the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.  The Japanese Eight Banners and the Xian Eight Banners each had half flags, and Liu Liangzuo, the true commander of Gushan'e, had a total of about 60,000 troops, carrying ten heavy artillery and numerous shield vehicles, approaching Changping, threatening the retreat of the Jingbian Army. "The sentries reported back, Jingbian.  The army's defense line on the two hilltops on the east side of Changping, plus dozens of miles of low-wall trenches, is another Julu and Changling Mountain. Learning from the past, Dorgon was stupid and only let the Manchu and Mongolian bannermen attack.  However, it is okay to let the Han, Japanese and Korean banners, together with the newly defected Liu Liangzuo, attack, and Jierhalang's Manchu elite to supervise the battle.  Liu Liangzuo stayed aside and secretly complained after listening to Dorgon's arrangements. He was indecisive and greedy for life, so he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.In order to preserve his strength, he didn't expect to have to chew hard bones soon. He complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to resist.  "Facing the battlefield of the Jingbian Army, I divided it into three parts: the left, right and center. The right wing, close to the Shahe River, was assigned by Duoluo Raoyu, the commander-in-chief, and was ordered by the general Abatai to supervise the battle. He led the troops to pacify the Western King Wu Sangui and the Dingxi King Tang Tong.  , with a total of more than 30,000 troops, facing the threat, waiting for the Chinese army's order. "Glancing at Wu Sangui, Dorgon made a decisive arrangement to let Wu Sangui and Tang Tong have work tomorrow, and asked them to get a certificate of surrender.  Wu Sangui remained expressionless, while Tang Tong's expression changed drastically. He didn't dare to say anything he wanted to say.  Dorgon said: "On the left wing, that is, the right wing facing the bandits, Prince Yu and Pingnan General Duduo supervise the battle, and lead the remaining half-banners of the Han Eight Banners, Japanese Eight Banners, and Xian Eight Banners to threaten and persecute, and also wait for the middle.  Military orders." Finally Dorgon said: "The remaining Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the Horqin tribe, and the Mongolian tribes in the outer vassals are about one hundred thousand cavalry, led by me personally, in the middle army, waiting for the opportunity, and a large number of horses must be prepared to intervene.  "It's time to break through the Jingbian Army's formation!" "Horses charging into the formation?" Duduo exclaimed: "The Jingbian Army's guns and artillery are sharp. If the horses are driven into the formation, many horses will be killed."  He said: "Immortal Wang Dou, our Qing Dynasty is even in danger of losing the country and annihilating the species. What are the horses?" He looked around at everyone and said coldly: "We all know Wang Dou. If he wins,  He will definitely not let us go. When he invades Liaodong, he will kill all the men, women, and children of the Qing Dynasty. If we don¡¯t eliminate this hidden danger, how long will it take?¡±  What, he, the emperor's eldest brother, was right. If the king wins the battle, it's hard to say anything else. He will definitely kill all the Eight Banners.  Seeing that the emperor of the Qing Kingdom regarded Wang Dou so highly, Wu Sangui's expression finally changed, Tang Tong opened his mouth, and Fan Zhiwan and Li Yutian, who had been silent, also looked at each other.  Seeing the awe-inspiring expression in the tent, Dorgon calmed down and said, "Of course, if Wang Dou and the bandits can be eradicated in this battle, no one in the world will be our enemy of the Qing Dynasty, and the endless land and wealth of the Southern Dynasties will be left to us.  Take what you want." Ning Wanwo suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "I swear to live and die with the Qing Dynasty." Everyone in the tent shouted, and there was a scream like a beast.  After the discussion, Wu Sangui came out of the tent. He was silent and sad. How could things come to this?  ¡°Perhaps, I have no choice but to help the Qing Dynasty win.  Tang Tongze and his general Tang Zong and others sighed: "What bad luck, that Wang Dou is not easy to fight, alas." His subordinates were also upset. Maybe they should not have surrendered to Dashun at that time. It would have been better to flee west to join the Marquis of Yongning.  .  Tang Tong sighed and said: "It's hard to get off the tiger, let's see again." Time passed slowly as all parties planned their budgets. Night gradually fell. The three parties were all fighting in the open camp, and they saw a sea of ??lights, like if  The sky is filled with stars. ?????????????????????????????????? Wang Dou tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He stood up from his clothes and looked at the bright starry night in trance. Tomorrow was a battle that would determine the fate of civilization and the country. Even with his firm determination, he felt a little nervous and apprehensive.  After pacing for a long time, he went to see his sons and saw their sweet sleeping postures, and his heart slowly calmed down.  Yes, everything is ready, there is nothing to worry about.  ¡­ ¡­ Dorgon suddenly woke up, he sat up with his hair disheveled, that dream just now Then he comforted himself, it¡¯s no problem, the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman gets the benefit, and he is the fisherman!  He sighed in his heart again, it would be great if there was no Wang Dou, why would there be a Wang Dou in the Ming Dynasty?   Li Zicheng turned over. He was having a sweet dream. In the dream, in a battle, the Jingbian Army was defeated, and the Qing Dynasty also surrendered. Then he returned to the capital surrounded by hundreds of thousands of soldiers and formally proclaimed himself the emperor.  Emperor, reign name Yongchang.  Wu Sangui also had a sweet dream. In the dream, he regained the capital, and all the people cheered. In the dream, he smiled and handed over his hands. Outside the dream, he also had a smile on his face.  Tang Tong sat in the tent and thought blankly: "Is it okay anyway?"  The snoring in the tent was like thunder, Kong San tossed and turned, and heard the old Hu next to him murmuring in his sleep: "Madam, madam, my husband is here.  Haha, it¡¯s big here" He shook his head, calmed down, and slowly fell asleep.   On April 20th, the sky gradually became brighter, and the camps were noisy. Zheng Tianmin suppressed his nervousness and had a sumptuous breakfast with his brothers. Not far away, the camp general Li Zhengjing shouted: "Eat  Come on, children, only when you are full can you kill thieves for the country, hahaha." Ju Yiwu, Han Kaihui, Chen Sheng, and Mou Dachang, the commanders of the front camp of the Suzaku Army, are all serious people. Although the camp commander Li Zhengjing has the word "serious", he is very unserious. However, it was just his joke that made Zheng Tianmin and others  The nervous mood calmed down a lot. After everything was prepared, everyone gathered under the banner of the camp. Li Zhengjing looked at everyone majestically and solemnly on his horse. Suddenly he opened his mouth: "Hey" He sang loudly: "Beautiful Da Da.  Grassland" The four generals, Ju Yiwu, Han Kaihui, Chen Sheng and Mou Dachang, sang: "I will come, I will come.  " Zheng Tianmin and others sang in unison: "Ah yo ah yo, ah yo ah yo!  " Li Zhengjing sang loudly: "I will make the Tatar head into my wine glass.  " Zheng Tianmin and others sang together: "Ah yo ah yo, ah yo ah yo."  " Li Zhengjing sang loudly: "Their wives are my concubines, and their sons are my servants.  " Zheng Tianmin and others sang together: "Ah yo ah yo, ah yo ah yo."  " Li Zhengjing sang loudly: "I will whip them hard with my riding crop.  " Zheng Tianmin and others sang together: "Ah yo ah yo, ah yo ah yo!  " Li Zhengjing sang loudly: "Crossing the mountains, crossing the plains, stepping on the earth, stepping on the grasslands!  " Zheng Tianmin and others sang together: "Ah yo ah yo, ah yo ah yo!  " Li Zhengjing sang loudly: "Until the end of the horizon, hey hey hey hey hey hey" Everyone sang in unison: "Kill kill kill kill, kill kill kill kill!  " Amidst the song "Men's March", the front camp of the Suzaku Army marched forward, trumpets and drums sounded one after another, and a steady stream of troops came out of the camps. They gathered into dense marching columns and marched according to their respective goals. The red  The armor was like an undulating ocean, and the densely packed bayonets and spears were shining endlessly. The band opened the way, the drums were beating in salute, the drums were rumbling, the horns were blaring, and a consolation officer rode up, shouting:  "victory!  victory!  "He was responded to by cheers like waves. " Amidst the rumble and clatter of horseshoes, countless horses stepped across the Qingshui River. Old Hu looked ahead, at the endless line of cavalry, with their bright weapons and dazzling felt hats.  Hongying yelled loudly, and the artillery chariots shouted rhythmically. The flags were as black as dark clouds, and there were only heads in front of him. Lao Hu took a deep breath: "Hey, I'm going to have a big fight today.  " He hummed: "Madam, Mayor Hu is here.  " Riding his horse, he rushed down the Qinghe River in front of him.  On the Dongsheng Ridge, Li Zicheng stood on his horse, with his white tassel and black satin flag flying high beside him. Under the big flag, Li Zicheng looked at his formation with great satisfaction.  For more than ten miles, there were flags like a sea, and swords and spears like a forest. He felt strong confidence in his heart. Who could stop such a vast army? Especially his Chinese army, which was composed of veteran soldiers, car camps, gun camps, and forts.  , and the three walls he is proud of, with 30,000 horses in one horizontal column, 10,000 horses in 20 columns, and 30,000 horses in one wall. If each wall is unfolded,  Based on the four or five meters required for a horse fight, the length of the horizontal array would be four or five miles long. After pushing these four or five miles horizontally, there would still be three blocks. Very few armies could withstand this. This was something he was proud of.  The three-wall tactic. Moreover, apart from some of his 60,000-strong old battalion supervising the battle on the left and right wings, the rest are also concentrated on the two wings of the central army. They can move freely at any time. He is full of confidence when looking at his own position. Needless to say, the central army is on the two wings.  Although he couldn't place many troops, the abundant troops allowed him to use wheel tactics like siege. Period after period, no matter how many people died, he still had to capture Wang Dou's two wings, and then he would strike with a thunderous blow from his own army.  The overall situation can be determined. He looked at the Baer Ridge opposite and thought that the Jingbian Army had not yet completed their formation. At this moment, the ground suddenly trembled and seemed to be marching in an orderly manner.  Suddenly, a sea of ??flags appeared on Zhaner Ridge, followed by a dazzling red light, and a sea of ??armor and sharp weapons. The spreading military formations slowly descended. They seemed to cover the mountains and fields, and the unfolding military formations actually appeared.  They were longer than themselves. Their steps were heavy, their formations were extremely orderly, and their fluttering flags were like the silent ocean before the storm. They descended from the mountains, their armor and weapons rising and falling with the mountains, wave by wave, and their eyes looked at them.  It was extremely shocking and powerful. They came down from the mountain, marching in order, and the rhythmic sound seemed to be the same. The order, the power, the momentum made people stunned. Although they were still far away, they were so distant.  An unstoppable momentum.?That kind of strong and powerful vision seemed to declare that they were the invincible army.  A dull and solemn evil spirit, like a thick dark cloud, surged in, causing the soldiers here to lose their voices one by one.  Li Zicheng stared blankly at the sea of ??armor. Every soldier seemed to have sophisticated armor. What kind of army was this and what kind of financial resources did it have?  Is this Wang Dou¡¯s Jingbian Army?  He suddenly remembered something: "Could it be that the 200,000 soldiers Wang Dou mentioned were not just a claim, but a real number?"
