Looking at the simple and firm faces reflected in the hunting torches, Chen Liang held his fists high, raised them high above his head, and then deeply bent down his waist, which he had never bent down, and gave a deep salute to this tens of thousands of righteous men.
Then in this hunting torch, he straightened his waist again: "I will issue you swords and guns now, and when I die in that gap, the occupation of that gap will depend entirely on my fathers and fellow villagers." ” This is a stupid battle, a cruel stupid battle, although this is related to Chen Liang's character, but it is also related to the current battlefield form, the siege war is the most tragic in all forms of war, the attacking side can only take the number of people to fight, otherwise how to say ten attacks in the book of war, this is not a trick.
Now Niuzhuang has finally opened a gap, the two sides are fighting desperately on this gap, fighting with white knives, at this time all skills are useless, what you see is the will of the soldiers on both sides, and the determination of the generals on both sides is fighting, and there is nothing else.
The gap is still fighting, but there is no shouting and killing, the soldiers on both sides are no longer willing to put their strength on shouting and killing, and now every bit of physical strength is precious, so the two sides gritted their teeth and fought and scuffled in a muffled voice, but the more this is the case, the more shocking and alarming it is.
Looking at the red figure that had become sparse again, Chen Liang then turned around suddenly, grabbed the waist knife inserted in the dirt beside him, and roared firmly at the only remaining 4,000 Fuliao army brothers behind him: "Now, it's our turn, brothers, follow me, fight to the death and don't retreat, rush" This is a decisive stop, even if all the Fuliao troops are defeated, the southern gate of the Manchu Qing Dynasty must be opened, and the remaining four Eight Banners soldiers of Huang Taiji must be attracted to the death, this is the overall situation, this is a desperate bet.
Just when Chen Liang was about to make a desperate bet, rumbling footsteps sounded behind him, and he turned his head sharply, and in the distance in the sky, there were neat and sonorous steps, a torch that was pulling the ground to the sky, a fiery red flag hunting and fluttering in the sea of torches, and the familiar Zhao character fluttering in the wind.
Reinforcements, reinforcements have finally arrived.
Zhao Xiaoming's third column, originally in the strategic arrangement of this war of annihilation, was attached to Wang Dazhuang's middle attack cluster, the entire three-point attack was originally arranged to be heavy in the north and light in the south, and the attack force of Xinmin at the entrance of Shengjing was the heaviest, and then decreased at one time, which was also arranged according to the expectation, Huang Taiji would directly reinforce the soldiers and horses in his hands to directly reinforce the northernmost Xinmin, but Huang Taiji gave Lu Hanqiang a black tiger to dig out his heart, so that Lu Hanqiang had to put the second column of Jin Hengguang, which was originally the entire strategic reserve, Transferred out to guard Shanhaiguan, watching the back of the entire army, had to transfer the 20,000 cavalry of the little fat man out as the main force to rush to aid Gyeonggi, so that the strength of the entire Fuliao army was once again overstretched, and had to reduce the group that attacked Wang Dazhuang in Liaozhong, and Zhao Xiaoming was transferred out as the general reserve of the entire strategic group.
At the same time, the artillery of the whole army was assigned to his subordinates as a fire strike group for the whole army.
Under the instructions of Lu Hanqiang, Wang Dazhuang and Xu Jie independently adjusted the entire strategic layout in accordance with the entire situation on the battlefield.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty continued to launch a comprehensive attack, Zhao Sihai had the most people, especially under the guidance of Lu Hanqiang's cruel and ruthless Don't want Xinmin to build a complete wall, Xinmin is now still struggling, and it is not far from completely erasing it, at most three or five days.
Wang Dazhuang in Liaozhong, under the blow of Zhao Xiaoming's artillery cluster, has completely blown down the city wall in the west of Liaozhong, the army has been poured in, and now he is fighting with Shi Tingzhu in the street, in the face of a Han Eight Banners of troops, Wang Dazhuang is confident that he will capture this town with one of his own columns.
And at this time, the most endangered is Chen Liang's South Road Army Niuzhuang.
Chen Liang originally had few soldiers, and the city wall of Niuzhuang re-reinforced with big bluestone has simply become a fortress on the plain, especially that Liu Zhiyuan, who is simply an expert in defending the city, and he was stunned to withstand Chen Liang's attack, and made it difficult for him to move an inch.
Originally, from the perspective of the entire front, the situation is very good for the Liao army, since Xinmin and Liaozhong are about to be at their fingertips, it doesn't matter if Niuzhuang attacks or not, as long as Chen Liang can drag Liu Zhiyuan's Hanzheng Yellow Banner, the Yellow Banner can't be withdrawn to reinforce other places.
As a result, as soon as the news of Lu Hanqiang's departure from the front line was obtained by Huang Taiji, the entire front became inexplicably strange.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty's Han Eight Banners, which were originally low in combat effectiveness and hesitant, suddenly became strong and tenacious, and all the people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty believed that the Fuliao Army was not terrible, but a terrible one was Lu Hanqiang.
If one person is afraid of another person, it is really a fear for no reason.
This is what seems to be invisible, but in fact qualitative morale.
And it was precisely because Lü Hanqiang was gone that the will to fight of the Manchu soldiers immediately increased by an octave, and they once again saw the hope of victory, so the resistance became more tenacious.
Faced with such a situation, Wang Dazhuang and Xu Jie's original plan was to put Zhao Xiaoming's reserves into Xinmin or Liaozhong, and open a gap in these two places that had already entered the city to break this stalemate, but things were messed up by Chen Liang.
Chen Liang didn't know which tendon he had committed, so he desperately fought with Liu Zhiyuan of Liu Zhuang, no matter how he ordered him to suspend the attack, he couldn't hold this bull.
But then I thought about it, the three armies were already stalemate, if Chen Liang's place was strengthened, and then he could attack Niuzhuang, it might bring unexpected surprises to the entire front.
Xu Jie and Wang Dazhuang unanimously judged that Huang Taiji held the four main forces and eight banners, which was to guard against Shengjing City, because directly facing him was Zhao Sihai's 50,000 army, and now Xinmin City is just around the corner, once Xinmin takes it, Zhao Sihai's army can directly rush to Shengjing City, which will shake the foundation of the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty.
In this way, from the perspective of the entire battle situation, Zhao Sihai is a sharp knife, piercing the heart of the Manchu Qing Dynasty at any time, but his own two battlefields of Liaozhong and Niuzhuang, its fundamental strategic purpose has changed, that is, to drag the Han Eight Banners in various places to prevent them from returning to Shengjing.
In view of such overall considerations, Wang Dazhuang and Xu Jie finally reached a consensus, that is, to reinforce Chen Liang with Zhao Xiaoming's strategic reserve and the artillery column in his hands, and give Huang Taiji another time in the south, at least to hold back the most elite Zhenghuang Banner and Yellow Banner of the Han Eight Banners, so that he could not give Shengjing any reinforcements in the Battle of Shengjing.
So, Zhao Xiaoming's column and the artillery column under his control went south together to reinforce Chen Liang. t1706231537:
