For a long time, Man Dahai was very confident in the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, believing that the Ming Army was not the opponent of the Eight Banners at all.Even if he was defeated by Zhao Zamao before, Man Dahai only thought that he had been ambushed and fell for a treacherous scheme, not that the Eight Banners could not do it.If there is an opportunity, in front of the Eight Banners, Man Dahai can be sure that the Eight Banners will definitely be able to beat Zhao Zamao's out.This time, Zhao Ming led less than 30,000 people to rescue Wu Jin City, which was the opportunity that Man Dahai was waiting for.Therefore, Man Dahai was overjoyed, and immediately mobilized 80,000 elite soldiers to clean up Zhao Zamao.In Man Dahai's view, and even in the eyes of all Qing soldiers, Zhao Zamao will definitely die, and there is no suspense for the Qing Dynasty to win, but the Eight Banners failed, and Man Dahai tried his best to defeat Zhao Zamao.Although just like Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming said, the 80,000 Qing army failed to defeat Zhao Zamao, but Zhao Zamao could not defeat the Qing army.But Man Dahai knew that it was self-deception, and the 80,000 Qing army, or in the Qing army's best field battle, could not eat more than 20,000 Ming troops, which was a naked fiasco.In the battle of the Hunhe River, it was the two elites of the Ming Dynasty that ate the Zhejiang Army and the White Pole Soldiers, and the Houjin Army established confidence, morale was greatly boosted, and the invincible, the military strength of Mandahai far exceeded that of the Battle of Hunhe is the comparison between the Houjin Army and the Ming Army, but it failed to eat Zhao Zamao, which is not only a problem of defeat in a battle, but also completely, and defeated the ambition of Mandahai.If before, all that Man Dahai thought about was to exterminate the Ming army and dominate the world.At this time, what Man Dahai was thinking about was how to protect the immediate interests of the Qing Dynasty, and how to make the Manchus not be defeated by the Ming army and drive them out of the Guanwai.In this battle, Zhao Zamao's army frightened Man Dahai, so that he no longer had the confidence to defeat Zhao Zamao, and did not dare to hope for the destruction of the Ming Dynasty, only hoping to maintain the current situation.This caused him to waver in his thinking, and became suspicious of Dolgon's tactics in recent years, and his political stance gradually changed from a supporter of Dolgon's policies.Gradually became the opposition.At this time, when Mandahai's heart was shaken, Zhao Ming led the soldiers and horses and finally appeared outside Wujin City.This road is only a hundred miles, but Zhao Ming has walked for more than a month, and the average speed of marching in a day is less than three miles, which is slower than a tortoise.In fact, judging from the map, the army led by Zhao Ming is indeed like a huge turtle, crawling slowly on the ground.No, no, Man Dahai was discouraged by not being able to eat Zhao Ming, Zhao Ming was actually doing his best under the surveillance and siege of tens of thousands of cavalry.The infantry army against the cavalry, relying on a tight formation and powerful firepower.Powerful firepower is to give the cavalry killing, deter the cavalry, so that it does not dare to approach, and the strict formation is to ensure that when the cavalry is close, the cavalry will not be allowed to rush in, and the infantry will continue to output strong firepower.These two are the only way for the infantry to be undefeated in the face of cavalry, and now they are indispensable.Zhao Ming sent troops from Wuxi and rushed to Wujin City, the most difficult thing was to always maintain a tight formation under the supervision of the Qing cavalry.The infantry can only form a formation in place, the formation is tight enough, once the movement marches, the army formation will inevitably be loose and difficult to maintain, so the cavalry will be given the opportunity to raid, and as long as the cavalry breaks into the formation, the infantry army is basically finished.Zhao Ming was on the march, many times by the Qing army raids, the most dangerous, the Qing army once broke through the outer car formation, hit the second car formation, and only that time, the Ming army was killed more than 2,000 people, almost collapsed.Therefore, Zhao Ming's marching speed had to be full, and he could only fight wits and courage with the Qing army, sometimes deliberately revealing flaws, leading the Qing army to surprise attack, and then attacking head-on, so that the Qing army could not be sure, so that he barely approached Wujin step by step, and finally made the Qing army feel desperate.Man Dahai felt that he could not annihilate Zhao Ming, and as the Ming army approached Wujin City, it was impossible for Man Dahai to occupy Wujin, and more than a month had passed, the longer Wuchang dragged on, the more critical it became, so that Man Dahai could only admit defeat and lead his troops to retreat.The battle of Changzhou, which lasted for nearly half a year, the Qing army paid a heavy price and returned in vain, and Donghai Town alone resisted the main attack of the Qing army for half a year, and the losses were also very heavy, and the victory can be said to be hard-won.Outside Wuchang City, Wang Deshun, Wang Yi and other generals came over on horseback.Zhao Ming saw the soldiers and horses rushing out of the city in the middle of the battle, and as soon as he pulled out the reins of the horses, he greeted them.Everyone turned over and dismounted, Zhao Ming looked the two generals up and down, there was no missing arm or leg, he breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to say something, but he was speechless.For a while, Zhao Ming could only hold the hands of the two of them tightly, and said with emotion: "This battle, you have worked hard!"
”Wang Yi and Wang Deshun couldn't help but tear up, and Wang Deshun said: "Dashuai, I thought I couldn't see Dashuai several times." ”Wang Yi said: "I know that the marshal will definitely lead the troops to the rescue!"
”Wujin City was besieged for half a year, withstood Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, the attack of the two kings of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the defenders of the city were not the elite of Donghai Town, most of them were half a year ago, the reorganized Siming Guards, it can be said that they have paid great sacrifices to hold the city, it is not easy, and at the same time, they have made great contributions.Zhao Ming listened to the words of the two and knew that this time Donghai Town could gain a firm foothold in Su Songchang, and the two of them could be regarded as the first merit.He couldn't help but let go of his hand suddenly, then took a step back, and bowed to the two of them, so frightened that Wang Deshun and Wang Yi hurriedly stepped forward and dragged them.Zhao Ming bowed and clenched his fists, then straightened up, and said loudly: "This battle repels the Qing army and protects the peace of Su Song, your merits, this commander must keep in mind, and a reward will be indispensable later." ”Everyone showed a look of joy on their faces when they heard this, and hurriedly thanked Zhao Ming.At this time, Zhao Mingyou said a few words, and then asked, "Has Man Dahai really withdrawn?"
”Wang Yi hurriedly clenched his fists and replied: "Back to the marshal, scout to investigate, Man Dahai led the main force of Qinggou, and he should have retreated to Zhenjiang!"
”When the generals heard that the Qing army was retreating, their faces showed a look of joy, Xie Qian hugged his fists and said: "Dashuai, the Qing dog has withdrawn in a hurry, will we take advantage of the victory to pursue!"
”Zhao Ming looked at Wang Yi and said, "How many brothers are there in the city!"
”Wang Yi's expression was a little gloomy, "Hui Dashuai, there are still 9,000 brothers, and there are still more than 5,000 people who can fight." ”Zhao Ming's heart sank, more than half of the casualties of the Wujin defenders, he also lost more than 4,000 people along the way, and in the entire battle of Changzhou, more than 15,000 people were killed in Donghai Town, which had already injured his vitality.Zhao Ming pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and said: "Forget it, the main force of the Qing army still exists, we have men all the way, it is difficult to defeat the Qing army, it is better to wait for the opportunity, and then recover Jinling in one fell swoop." ”(Thank you for your support, ask for a monthly pass, recommend, subscribe) ()
