Chapter 492 Planning Zhu Jinghong

Chapter 492: Planning Zhu Jinghong

As for the northern position, Zhu Jinghong is already at the Habayashi Left Guards Barracks, and intelligence from various places is still rapidly gathering at him.

At present, all the Jurchen tribes in Qinghai Xingdu Division were under attack, and the news transmission was even more delayed during the battle, making it difficult for him to judge where the enemy's main attack was.

The sound of artillery coming from the south easily convinced Zhu Jinghong that the Junggar people's purpose was to attack grain and grass.

"Immediately send an order to Zhenwei Zhongwei, the Tibetan tribes and the Mongolian tribes to rush to the aid of the two guards in the Beijing camp as quickly as possible"

"Yes"

"Instruct all the guards of the pro-army army to form formations and move closer to the south. If they encounter enemy troops, they will be wiped out."

The battle has begun, so there is no need to hold back, so Zhu Jinghong began to mobilize the army on a large scale.

The elites of the Zeroth rate tore a hole and rushed in, but as long as the hole was closed, there would be a pocket, and their group would be the turtle in the jar.

But it is not easy for the Ming army to form this pocket formation and tightly trap the 0th one inside, and the most important thing is to seize the time.

As for the two guards of the Beijing camp, since they are responsible for escorting food and grass, they are usually on high alert. In the past two days, they were reminded by Zhu Jinghong that they were fully prepared for war.

They set up their camps securely and built a tight defense network around the perimeter.

The first is the tripping rope on the outside, and then the horse-rejecting rope on the inside.

Of course, on the innermost side, there are the soldiers of the Beijing camp who are waiting in full formation. The fire gun soldiers have all been loaded. From the look of the formation, you can tell that it is a standard three-stage shooting.

Watching the enemy cavalry gradually approaching, Hou Jing, as a general, was not afraid, but came to the artillery position excitedly.

Being a semi-firearmed army, the Beijing Camp also had artillery in addition to musketeers, but the firearms were not as good as those of the pro-army.

"Wait a little longer before firing"

"Wait a little longer"

The cavalry charges very fast and will cover a lot of distance every second. , if the gun is not fired in time, there may not even be a chance to fire later.

After confirming that the enemy vanguard had entered a distance of 300 steps, Hou Jing immediately ordered "fire"

The roar of artillery suddenly sounded at the scene, and they also used explosive shells to fly out There will be a lot of explosives in the end, achieving maximum damage.

In addition to Hou Jing, other ministries are also effectively defending, using artillery to attack the cavalry in front of them from a distance.

The two guards in the Beijing camp had hundreds of artillery pieces. They fired together to great effect, killing four to five hundred people in just one salvo.

This is not due to their accurate shooting, but because the density of cavalry on the opposite side is too high, and they are charging head-on.

The artillery is being reloaded, and the artillery soldiers in front are also standing ready, waiting for the enemy to enter the range before firing.

Again, the cavalry attacked very quickly. In less than five seconds after the artillery fired, these cavalry entered the firing range.

SoThe first round of musket volleys was fired. After the firing, they retreated to the rear to reload, and the people in the second row began to fire again

The musket and artillery soldiers were busy reloading, while the Junggar cavalry on the opposite side had already drawn their bows. Arrows ready to shoot.

Unfortunately, the guys they have have short range, so they can only shoot closer.

But after only a second or two of delay, the people in front of them started shooting.

The purpose of the Junggar people is to break through the military formation and burn the food and grass, so even if there are many obstacles ahead, they can only force their way out.

"Kill"

"Young Master, charge at you and stay back, don't hurt you" the guard around Zero shouted.

Di Zero angrily said, "The children of the Zhu family who have grown up in the deep palace can come to the front line in person, but I have been in battle for a long time but cannot go into battle."

If the army wants to win this time, it must To attack the Ming army head-on requires the army to have the courage to move forward, which requires No. 0 to charge forward in person.

"He Zhu Jinghong can kill generals and capture flags, why can't I try?" Di Zero said secretly.

While they were talking, the Jungar vanguards were already charging into the formation, and these people were also the ones who died the fastest.

Even after crossing the stumbling rope and the horse-rejecting stake, he escaped being shot by muskets, and there were Ming army pikemen behind him.

These spears were more than five meters long and were a sharp weapon against cavalry. A small number of cavalrymen who got past the obstruction eventually died under the spears.

Of course, as long as more and more cavalry rush in, the Ming army will always be unable to kill them in time, and the balance of victory will tip to Junggar.

However, there is not much time for the Junggars to charge and kill. They must complete it within a quarter of an hour, otherwise Ming army reinforcements will arrive one after another.

Zero is the commander after all, and eventually returned to the commanding position.

Seeing that several times of charging and killing had no results, he gave the order: "Order to shoot with rockets."

The ordinary arrows they were using now were difficult to defeat the armored Ming army. Defense is a waste of manpower and material resources. It is better to shoot rockets directly at the grain and grass.

"Yes"

The military order was conveyed, and the cavalry in front put on rockets and rushed towards the front fire network again.

As he watched the troops falling in front of him, Di Ling's heart was bleeding. They were his direct troops and the pillars of the Junggar Khanate.

In a large-scale army charge, there are always people who can rush in. These people are not afraid of death and gallop forward, and they try their best to shoot forward with their bows and arrows.

Some of the rockets missed, but some still hit the grain, especially the hay, which quickly caused fire.

However, all the food and grass of the Ming army were in the car, and it was impossible to catch fire in one place, so they had to continue shooting arrows.

However, the troops defending the inner layer were not a vegetarian. They came up with firecrackers and spears to greet them, and they were soon able to strangle the Junggar cavalry that rushed in.

Although, but new Junggar cavalry came in, repeating what just happened.

The Beijing camp was defending vigorously, and by zooming the camera higher, you could see that Shi Chong and his men were already engaging the Junggar flank.

The Beijing camp cavalry were also elite. They were like an awl, directly defeating the Junggar soldiers.

“These wastes” denounced Diliu angrily.

Shi Chong approached him and mentioned that he knew the news, and even sent twice as many troops to intercept, but now he was still rushed in.

"I will lead the troops and charge to the death myself," Zero shouted.

However, No. 0 did not go to stop Shi Chong, but chose to lead his troops to attack the Beijing camp infantry. Obviously, the purpose was still to burn the food and grass.

"Young Master, no"

Seeing that Zero is about to set off, the guards next to him will stop him, fearing that he will really rush into the formation.

Everyone knows that the cavalry attack on the infantry position is completely based on human lives, and the zeroth going forward will not have much effect.

"If we lose this battle, it will be difficult for our army to attack again, so that I can live with dignity in the world."

He commanded defeat after defeat on the front line. As the young commander of Junggar, He may be incompetent, but as a frontline general, it is a capital offense.

Zero is a proud man. If he loses this battle, he will not live in this world.

"If you are afraid of death, I will go alone"

Zero's attitude is decisive, and for the sake of what he said, everyone knows that they can't persuade him .

"Young Master, we are willing to join you in the charge."

"I must protect the Young Master to the death"

Withdrawing his saber, Di Ling looked around and said "To protect our cattle and sheep pastures, and to protect our parents, wives and children, all warriors come with me to charge and kill."

"Kill"

No. 0 galloped away, calling to the tribal warriors , and rushed straight towards the front military formation.

Hou Jing happened to be in charge of defending the breakthrough point he was targeting.

“Damn it, you just fought back, why are you targeting me again?” Hou Jing jumped in anger.

As a staff general, Hou Jing did not have to visit the front line in person, but he still came to the military formation to boost morale.

I saw him holding a spear in person, watching for any enemy troops that might break through the defense line.

"Release"

As Hou Jing's military order was issued, the musketeer pulled the trigger. The fierce air pressure rushed the projectile out of the barrel and fired towards the cavalry approaching in front. go.

At the same time, the artillery in the rear was also roaring, and each shot would take away a large number of cavalry.

In fact, both sides are now suffering casualties from each other, and they are both struggling to support themselves.

Besides, in Zhu Jinghong's "command headquarters", a large amount of information is being summarized to him, and the battlefield situation is clearly marked by the staff.

In general, there are now three battle groups, namely Qinghai Xingdu Division, Jurchen tribes and Jingying garrison.

Now Zhu Jinghong has fully confirmed that the zero target is to attack grain and grass, so he has revised the military order again, but the general support plan will not change.

At the same time, he gave the commanders of the guards full power to respond to the situation, so he basically had nothing to do next.

"Come with me to the front line and have a look." Zhu Jinghong walked outside the military tent.

The place where he is now is almost twenty miles away from the Beijing Camp where the fiercest fighting is taking place.

"Commander, there is a strict decree from above and below that you are not allowed to go to the front line."

The person who spoke was Feng Ziying. Among the several staff officers, he had the best relationship with Zhu Jinghong, so He was the first to speak at this moment.

"How do you want me to teach you how to accept your orders from a foreigner?"

After that, Zhu Jinghong said no more and walked straight out of the military tent. go.

Since everyone could not persuade him, they could only follow him out of the military tent, mount a horse and rush to the battlefield of Beijing Camp.

Zhu Jinghong's guard has now expanded to 300 people, and it is also a team with extremely strong combat effectiveness. The Junggar cavalry does not even have a thousand men, and it is difficult to even pose a threat to them.

After about a quarter of an hour of galloping, they arrived at a hill.

This place is only four or five miles away from the battlefield, and it is easy to be discovered by the Junggar people any further.

On the hillside of Zhuma, Zhu Jinghong could see the battlefield ahead.

The situation is chaos. The Beijing cavalry and the Mongolian cavalry have been reinforced, and the two sides are fighting each other in a melee.

On the other side of the battlefield, Junggar was still attacking the Beijing camp, trying to burn more food and grass.

It must be said that Zhu Jinghong felt distressed by the fire in the Beijing camp.

According to his visual inspection, nearly 20% of the grain trucks were burning, which was particularly dazzling in the evening.

But fortunately, the Junggar side is completely exhausted, and there is basically no possibility of continuing to charge.

It has been almost half an hour since the war began. The sky is actually getting dark now, and it will be dark in half an hour at most.

In fact, Zero also knew that he was defeated, so he became even crazier, attacking the Beijing camp again and again, hoping to die directly here.

But the guards around him would not let him do so. After all, if he died, these people would also be buried with him.

He can die, but not on the battlefield.

"What are you doing, what are you doing?"

"You cowards and cowards"

Seeing the guards pulling at him, Zero yelled in anger. , he understood the intentions of his men.

"Young Master, you can't fight anymore. If you are good or bad, what will happen to the tens of thousands of troops on the front line?"

"The sons and daughters have to rely on you to lead them." Go home."

The guards explained as they surrounded No. 0 and retreated to the southeast.Beating and scolding him with the whip will not help.

The breakout was a foregone conclusion. Although Zero was extremely unwilling, he could only escape with the guards.

His retreat shook the morale of the troops nearby, but these troops were indeed elite and did not flee immediately.

But they didn't last a few more minutes before someone inevitably escaped, triggering a wider rout.

On the hillside, Zhu Jinghong noticed the collapsed area, so he took out the monocular telescope he carried with him.

The staff officers accompanying him also noticed the escape area, and those who had the conditions took out their binoculars to check.

"Commander, that is the banner of Young Master Junggar. That boy from No. 0 is over there," Feng Ziying reminded loudly.

In fact, he didn’t need to remind him, Zhu Jinghong had already seen it himself.

"Very good, very good" Zhu Jinghong laughed.

This kid Zero has escaped, and victory in this battle is a sure thing.

Honestly, Zhu Jinghong really wanted to lead his troops to rush over and arrest this guy Ling Di.

But he endured it after all. First, there was a large number of troops gathered around Zero. It was not easy to win over Zero.

The more important reason is that the emperor has issued a strict decree not to allow him to go to the battle line in person. He may be able to run to the front line, but he absolutely dare not go to the battle line in person.

Even if the emperor could forgive him and treat him as Ma Baonan's queen, he would never be able to forgive him.

Although Zhu Jinghong could not move, someone was eyeing the escaped Ling Ling like him. This person was Zhao Ying, the right commander of the Zhenwei Central Guard.

Zhao Ying has just turned thirty this year. Among the young generals in the Beijing camp, he actually seems mediocre, but this does not mean that he is not outstanding.

Zhao Ying is similar to Yang Renzhong. He also came from a low-level military household. He was promoted to an official after passing the military examination.

Ten years ago, Zhao Ying served as General Commander. Five years ago, he was appointed Qianzhong. Three years ago, he participated in pacifying the unrest in Annan, and then he was promoted to Staff General.

He has been in the position of general for three years. This expedition to the northwest is another time for him to gain military glory.

Although many achievements have been made in the past, who would think that there are too many military achievements.

Although he is now a fifth-grade military attache and his son is qualified to be elected as a Dragon Guard, if he can squeeze into the ranks of nobles, even the lowest second-class male, his son's The road will be much easier.

"Brothers, there is a general in front of the enemy army. That's a lot of money. Come with me to grab the money."

"Come on"

So fighting a war is indeed very expensive. In addition to the expense of eating, drinking and eating, there are also rewards for military merit and compensation for soldiers who died in battle.

Of course, these are things that the emperor has to worry about.

With the cavalry under his command, Zhao Ying broke away from the battle group and rushed towards the direction of No. 0.

Because the Junggar people are in defeat, the battlefield is even more chaotic at this moment.

The sky became darker and darker, and after about a moment, the battle in the Beijing camp was over.

When Zhu Jinghong arrived, the fire here had been extinguished.

Although there was a loss of food and grass, it was not really a big loss. Zhu Jinghong could accept this result.

So when the two Beijing camp commanders apologized, Zhu Jinghong directly praised their contributions in public.

After checking the specific loss of food and grass, and receiving the latest battle report, Zhu Jinghong was already smiling.

An hour later, the battle was completely over, and all the ministries had gathered back for repairs.

In the three battlefields of this battle, it is conservatively estimated that tens of thousands of Junggar people were killed, and they also lost their most elite troops.

Of course, the Ming army also suffered losses, but according to rough statistics reported by various ministries, the number of casualties was about three thousand.

It can be seen that this battle can definitely be regarded as a great victory. After this battle, the threat of Junggar cavalry will drop sharply, and it will be difficult to pose a great threat to the Ming army marching north. Please remember to collect it.
