Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 295 Hit the boss, Yin, you don't have to discuss
Following Wu Shijun's order, dozens of Qing soldiers looked for the direction, rushed into the Ming army's formation desperately, and came straight to Sila Dazhu with strange screams.

These dozens of people seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, rushing and beating. After entering the Ming army formation, they were surrounded by groups, looking like they were hitting an egg with a rock.

But their reckless fighting style and mad dog-like posture still frightened many soldiers of the Ming army, and the soldiers gave way in fear.

This style of play has a special name in the Qing army, which is called "fighting the boss".

The tactic of beating the boss was also proposed by Nurhachi.Based on the experience gained through years of bloody battles, Nurhachi believes that "there are many leaders in the Ming army, they are chaotic, mobs, retreating, and those who lead the army forward must be the leaders. You will lose yourself."

To put it bluntly, this tactic is to capture the thief first and capture the king first, and it was probably Nurhachi who realized it after watching "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".Once the enemy leader dies, morale will collapse, which is still very effective.

As early as the Battle of Erkhun in the 14th year of Wanli, Nuerhaci had taken the action of "specializing in killing leaders" in the battle.The specific method of the "targeting the leader only" tactic proposed by Nuerhaci is that during combat, you can judge who is the enemy leader through the enemy's attire and whether he is the "leader of the advance."After confirming, "hit on sight".

Judging from a large number of battle cases, the main method of beating the boss is to shoot with arrows. This tactic has become a classic tactic of the Qing Dynasty.

Silly Dazhu was brave in battle, and he made up for his lack of military literacy with the courage to lead the way.He rode a tall horse, and after landing on the shore, he kept waving his knife to urge the soldiers to launch a counterattack, and was immediately recognized by Wu Shijun as the "boss".

Half of the dozens of Qing soldiers who rushed into the formation were dead, and they rushed a few steps away from Sha Dazhu's body, and hurriedly bent their bows and set arrows.

An arrow hit the right arm of Silly Dazhu, the knife in his hand fell, and the man fell off the horse.What was even more exasperating was that his head hit the ground so hard that he fainted immediately.

Seeing this situation, the soldiers of the Ming army thought that the silly Dazhu was dead, and the chaos became a mess in an instant.Several personal guards picked up Silly Dazhu, rushed onto a boat, and fled in a panic.

All of a sudden, the Ming army became more chaotic, or died under the arrows, trampled each other to death, or drowned. The casualties were heavy, and the army was defeated.

The Ming army dropped more than 3000 corpses by the Hong River, and finally withdrew to the opposite bank.There was no leader in the army, and the soldiers could not organize to resist, so they fled in the direction of Xiangcheng in chaos.

Wu Shijun was not a vegetarian, so he immediately ordered the Qing soldiers to cross the river to pursue him.Fortunately, during this period of autumn rains, the water level of the Hong River soared, and because of the lack of boats, only more than 2000 Qing soldiers crossed the river to pursue and kill them.

The two thousand Qing soldiers chased and fought fiercely all the way, and when they were complacent, they suddenly heard the rumble of cannons.

It turned out that Ren Qi's reinforcements had arrived, and Ren Qi's army had Hongyi cannons, and Ren Qi went into battle with a knife in one arm, which greatly improved morale and stabilized the situation.

The Qing soldiers encountered a fierce counterattack from the Ming army and had to retreat.Ren Qiju judged the situation and did not dare to continue to disturb the situation, so he led the remnant soldiers back to Xiangcheng in disgrace.

In the battle of Mengjiazhuang, Silly Dazhu was injured, and the Ming army died nearly 4000 people before and after, which can be described as a disastrous defeat.

……

Xiangcheng, in the barracks.

"Doctor, how is Shunhou's injury?" Ren Qi asked.

While packing the medicine box, the doctor in the army said, "It's just an arm injury. There is no poison on the arrow, and life is fine. Just rest and recuperate."

Silly Dazhu was angry and annoyed, he beat the bed with his left hand and said, "Shame, this time it's too shameful..."

Looking at Zhu Yujian again, he was ashamed and said: "General Zhu, everyone blames me for not listening to your advice and recklessly sending troops to attack Mengjiazhuang. It doesn't matter that I was injured, but the loss is so heavy. How can I see Your Majesty?"

Ren Qi tidied up his clothes and solemnly bowed to Zhu Yujian: "General Zhu, I also have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter. I was too impatient and forgot Your Majesty's earnest warning, and I failed General Zhu's good intentions!"

Zhu Yujian hurriedly said: "General Ren, Marquis Shun, don't say that. The three of us lead the army together. Whether it is victory or defeat, we will bear it together. There are no generals who are always victorious. Leading troops in battle always encounter setbacks." The key is for us to learn our lessons."

"Yes, it's time to learn a lesson." Ren Qi looked at Silly Dazhu and said, "Tell me about the defeat, the more detailed the better."

After listening to Silly Dazhu, Zhu Yujian looked stern, and sighed: "Wu Shijun is not easy to deal with, he is a rare general! It is said that the fighting power of the Qing soldiers is very tough, we didn't take it seriously before, but we have to take it seriously from now on. "

Silly Dazhu added: "Most of the Qing soldiers in Mengjiazhuang are Han Eight Banner soldiers, and there are not many Manchu soldiers. Hey, when I saw General Li Guo attacking the Qing soldiers in southeast Shaanxi, it was like chopping melons and vegetables. I thought I It can be done, but it is a fool!"

"Okay, self-blame is useless, let's find a way to deal with the situation. Shunhou, you should reflect on yourself, and you will be fined not to drink for three months!" Ren Qi said.

After this battle, Ren Qi and Sha Dazhu suppressed their pride and complacency, and continued to adopt a steady and steady approach, step by step and slowly advance towards the Runing Mansion.

Wu Shijun won a big victory in Mengjiazhuang, which immediately boosted morale. Under his command, the Qing soldiers were determined to defend the Runing Mansion to the death.After the Ming army besieged Runing Prefecture, it was difficult to do anything.

On this day, after another siege battle, Ren Qi sat in the large tent of the Chinese army and sighed: "Grandma is a bear, I have encountered a hard bone!"

Zhu Yujian also said worriedly: "Since the siege, we have launched five siege battles, but there has been no progress. What should we do? I see that the morale of the Qing soldiers in the city is strong, while our army is a little discouraged."

What Zhu Yujian said is true, the morale of the Ming army has indeed been low recently.Soldiers in the army are often hot-blooded and vigorous people, and their emotions are very easy to go to extremes, with ups and downs, and they are either prone to pride or discouragement.

The Ming army suffered a defeat on the banks of the Hong River and was unable to conquer the Runing Mansion for several days. The soldiers were frustrated and lost their fighting spirit in the past.

"I didn't know until today that it is not easy to lead troops to fight!" Ren Qidao, "General Zhu, do you have a good plan to break the city?"

Zhu Yujian shook his head and said: "It stands to reason that we are strong and strong. We only need to fight a war of attrition with the Qing soldiers in the city. If we persevere, we will be able to break the city one day. But now we are facing two difficult problems. One is that morale is low and we urgently need a battle." Victory; the second is that we have to implement His Majesty's outflanking tactics, and it is impossible to spend a long time in the Runing Mansion. I have no good way, I can only go to the barracks to keep encouraging the soldiers, but it is better to talk about it with empty teeth Winning a game comes directly and effectively.”

Ren Qi's brows became pimples: "Let General Zhu do things that boost morale and inspire people's hearts. Let me think about it carefully, and there will definitely be a way."

In the evening, Ren Qi led a group of people wandering around the barracks, and unknowingly walked into a small village.It stands to reason that it is dinner time at this time, and the village should be filled with smoke, but it is deserted.

"Where did everyone in the village go?" Ren Qi said to himself, and said to a guard, "Go, ask someone."

Not long after, the guards brought a woman.Ren Qi gave the woman a piece of silver and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, where are the people in the village?"

"It's all caused by pimple plague. Some people died and some fled. Those who stayed in the village were either old, weak, sick or disabled, or infected with pimple plague and unable to leave. Everyone is waiting to die," the woman said. .

"Then why don't you run away?" Ren Qi asked again.

"A few days ago, my man was arrested as a strong man and went to build the city wall in Runing Mansion, but he never came back."

Ren Qi nodded, but she heard the woman continue to say: "But my man should be back soon, the scarred face from the next village passed by our village a few days ago, and he also went to Runing Prefecture City to repair it. Wall. I asked him if he saw my man, and asked him how he got out of the city, and he said that he pretended to have pimples and asked for leave and ran out. My man is very clever, and he will definitely find a way to escape..."

Probably because of the money, the woman talked and babbled with all her heart and soul.

However, Ren Qi couldn't wait to ride his horse away, and ran back to the barracks. After seeing Zhu Yujian, he smiled and said, "General Zhu, I have thought of a way to break the city! Haha, Ming can't play tricks, he Wu Shijun leads troops to fight You are a good player, but those who play Yin will definitely not be able to beat me, Wu Shijun, Laozi Yin, you have nothing to discuss!"
