This Qing is wrong

Chapter 45 Weak and Unexpectedly
"The Qing army has come in, everyone run!"

"The Qing army is going to massacre the city, hurry home, take your wife and children and run away!"

"Fighting the Qing army is finished, everyone run for their lives..."

A shout followed the elite assault of the Qing army led by Hao Zhongzhong, along the inner line of the city wall, and spread rapidly towards the city gate.

Wherever they passed, no matter whether they were on guard or on patrol, they all threw away their weapons and fled frantically without exception. No one resisted. salary...

However, Hao Zhongzhong was not surprised by the offensive of his party's 'like a bamboo'.

This so-called Qing army was originally a mob, and Hao Zhongzhong chose to attack at night. How could this mob organize an effective resistance?

Of course, Hao Zhongcheng also knew that the Qing army he and his party encountered was a minority after all, and the real main force of the Qing army must be gathered around Yan Dingjun or Yaodao.

No matter how weak the army is, led by Yan Dingjun or Yao Dao, it is impossible to collapse like this.

Therefore, Hao Zhongzhong had to lead people to the city gate as soon as possible, and open the city gate before the large troops in Chaoyang County gathered.

Don't look at the aura of Hao Zhongzhong and the others, once hundreds of guns are aimed at them in front of them, the elite of the Qing army will definitely disperse immediately.

When low-level warriors faced bird gun lead bullets, they were no different from ordinary people, they were all knocked down by one shot.

Even Hao Zhongzhong himself did not dare to forcefully carry the blunderbuss and shoot a volley into the formation.

Fortunately, the speed of Hao Zhongzhong and his party was fast enough, or the organization of the Qing army was too rubbish, so they couldn't come in time.

When Hao Zhongzhong and his party seized the city gate, no battle broke out at all. The soldiers of the Qing army who were guarding the city gate were surrounded by the defeated soldiers of the Qing army who were fleeing in all directions. Hao Zhongzhong and his party were not even seen. , just ran away...

It's no wonder that even Yan Dingjun himself has no confidence in the Qing army. After encountering a battle, he will find out how timid the soldiers of the Qing army are.

At this time, even Li Changqing, who was observing in the dark, was surprised by the speed at which the soldiers of the Qing army collapsed. The three of them, Yan Dingjun and Zhang Jianfei, did not disclose their plans.

Naturally, the top and bottom of the Qing army did not know that they should pretend to collapse after encountering a night attack.

At that time, Yan Dingjun reminded Li Changqing that in the current state of the Qing army, there is no need to act in a night attack. They run faster than anyone else, and there will not even be many casualties...

At first, Li Changqing thought that Yan Dingjun used exaggerated 'rhetoric', but only after witnessing it with his own eyes, did he know that there is such a significant gap between the two states of the army's training and encountering battles!

Li Changqing clearly remembered that when he was inspecting the Qing army before, he could still stand in a horizontal and vertical queue...

During training, the slogans shouted were quite loud.

At that time, Li Changqing also praised Yan Dingjun, saying that he had made great achievements in military training.

At that time, Yan Dingjun said that the attack on the Qing army was just for show, and Li Changqing thought that Yan Dingjun was self-effacing...

Unexpectedly, Yan Dingjun at that time was telling the truth!
Li Changqing, who was shocked by the collapse speed of his own Qing army, couldn't help asking Yan Dingjun beside him:

"On weekdays, we can't tell that our Qing army is so weak. What do those strong troops in the history books look like?
Even the Chaoyang County Qing army I faced back then was ten times stronger than them! "

Yan Dingjun saw that the city gate had not been opened, and explained to Li Changqing in detail:

"General, in fact, there is not much difference between a weak army and a strong army on weekdays.

An orderly queue and the momentum of shouting slogans can be practiced as long as a group of people are arranged for special training.

For example, the Han generals of the former Ming Dynasty were tall and powerful, with distinctive armor, a well-organized formation, and a rainbow-like momentum. Anyone who saw them thought they were a rare and powerful army.

However, anyone who knows the inside story knows that General Dahan is only a guard of honor in the court of the Ming Dynasty and cannot go to the battlefield.

In fact, this is also the case. When the former Ming capital was destroyed, a big Han general who dared to resist could not see it...

Even among the eunuchs in Dongchang, there were a few who were willing to die for the former Ming Dynasty, but the gang of big Han generals with full weapons and equipment disappeared completely on the day the city was broken.

A strong army does not necessarily look good, and a well-organized army does not necessarily have strong combat effectiveness.

Of course, many masters of strong armies like the neat appearance of the army, and they will show the order of the strong army under their command to outsiders.

Especially when meeting the emperor, no matter how unruly a general is, he would not dare to let his troops become sloppy.

This is why the strong army recorded in the history books often has a good military appearance.

For a strong army, it is not difficult to maintain a good military capacity, the rare thing is whether they are willing.

Take the Eight Banners who have entered the customs in recent years as an example. They are all rebellious, burning, killing and looting. There is no military discipline at all. From the perspective of the regular army, the Eight Banners soldiers are no different from bandits.

However, even if they are able to fight, they still fight tough battles. Whether they are facing a solemn enemy army or a group of unarmed civilians, these Eight Banners are equally ruthless.

Therefore, military discipline is mainly used to restrain the behavior of soldiers on the battlefield, not to restrain whether they are friendly to ordinary people.

Even in order to cultivate the bloodiness of soldiers, many foreign races will deliberately let them slaughter the people in the enemy's territory.

The most terrifying strong army is actually an army that is both ruthless and obedient.

However, whether an army can fight or not depends mainly on the morale of the army.

Our Qing army will collapse at the first touch, not because they are not well trained, the most important reason is that no one of them thinks that we can defeat the Qing army.

It is impossible for an army that thinks it is certain to be defeated to win a battle.

Therefore, whether we can win this battle against the Qing army is very critical, and it represents the confidence of our Qing army when facing the Qing army in the future.

Without enough confidence, no matter how good the weapons and equipment are, no amount of training experience will be enough to improve their combat effectiveness.

Back then, Mingkong had a huge national power and army, but the Qing army always defeated the many with fewer, and even dared not go head-to-head with the Qing army in field battles.

To put it bluntly, it was because the Ming army was defeated by the Qing army.

The soldiers of the Ming army were timid before they fought, and before they met the Qing army, they lost [-]% of their momentum. In addition, the soldiers of the Eight Banners were brave and fearless. It is strange that the Ming army was undefeated...

If there is no Shanhaiguan to block, the former Ming Dynasty would not even survive the moment when Li Zicheng entered the capital. "
