Chapter 528 The changes are too big
Both parties have considered that Zhengbaiqi's slow response may be late, so they are preparing corresponding plans.
On the one hand, I was thinking about how to fight the black flag without the white flag at the beginning of the war.
The other side is how to deal with the true white flag at the end of the battle.
There is a reason for Zhu Cijiong's arrogance.
This time, as a full-power general, he has the ability to mobilize the military forces of the three flags, unlike before when he cooperated with the black and blue flags and was controlled by the high-ranking officers and supervisors of each flag.
He also dispatched the firearms army just formed by the Black and Red Banner headquarters and the Black and Blue Banner. The Black and Yellow Banner guarded the capital as the rear army, but the battlefield was not far from the capital, and there was also a part of Niu Lu on the front waiting for his dispatch.
It can be regarded as controlling all the troops except the Black Flag Imperial Court Imperial Army in the name of the Black Flag Clan.
Sitting in Xiaowutai Mountain, I was laughing and watching the Eight Banners of Jiannu gathered in a desperate struggle. I felt very high-spirited. Thinking about the fact that I had just sealed the wolf in Xu not long ago, I felt even more inflated.
Fortunately, it was close to the capital, and Zhu Youjian and his teacher were able to suppress him with wisdom, otherwise he would have looked like the God of War of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
certainly.
With a military base that has completely widened the gap with the Eight Banners, it is really difficult to lose against the Eight Banners who can only barely breathe a sigh of relief.
There are many among the Eight Banners who know this.
But this time the troops are raised to fight for one breath.
For the sake of the orthodoxy of the Qing Dynasty, and for the government not to be controlled by black flags, we returned to the situation where the Manchus were in charge and were the masters.
There are also people who have deep personal vendettas against Black Flag.
Those who love their families feel that they cannot be treated well by Black Flag and will eventually be liquidated.
Some have reached the grassroots level, mixed with the Han people, and started to fight because their quality of life and class have deteriorated.
There is no more reason. In short, Zhang Jing followed the banner leader to raise an army, so we will follow Zhang Jing to fight.
The Black Flag Army led by Zhu Cijiong sat and watched the Eight Banners converge towards Zhangjiakou. Finally, after the Xiangbai Banner and Liang Shun Wang also arrived, they successfully gathered nearly 70,000 troops.
As usual, fold it in half and remove the water, which means there are less than 30,000 fighting soldiers.
"It's a little short."
The Eight Banners were celebrating the successful rendezvous and were discussing how to fight back to the capital.
Zhu Cijiong thought it was too little.
The Eight Banners' troops suffered serious losses after leaving the capital.
When the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, which had the largest number of bannermen, arrived in Han territory, the ability of the banner owners to control this group of people was significantly reduced. In addition, the rebellion came suddenly, and some did not have time to respond, or had no intention of responding.
"Your Majesty said that this is the Eight Banners' last struggle to counterattack, so King Ding should be cautious."
Fang Yizhi sat in front of the sand table with a leisurely attitude, only admonishing casually.
"Teacher, I want to personally go to the front line to lead the troops this time to counter the rebellion."
When this sentence came out, Fang Yizhi couldn't relax anymore: "No! Your Highness is rich in gold! Although the slaves and thieves are weak, they still have cannons and guns. King Ding must not take any risks!"
"Then when the thieves' power gradually weakens, I, the king, will lead his army to pursue them?"
"No!"
Naturally, Zhu Cijiong would not give up, and he was not stupid either.
I just want to build momentum to show off my courage, so that ordinary people can sing about it in the market.
Therefore, when the Black Flag Army stationed in Xiaowutai Mountain communicated with the capital and determined that they could start marching to quell the chaos, the Black Flag Army divided into two groups and headed straight for Zhangjiakou under the leadership of the Black and Red Banner Lord Solontu.
All the way to Datong Town.
The information on the movements of the Eight Banners was almost completely grasped by Black Flag. There were even high-ranking generals in the army who were sending troops to send messages to Black Flag, so the movements were clear at a glance.
We are going to attack Datong Town.
We must deploy defenses in Zhangjiakou.
A large military camp should be built outside the pass.
Then, they used raiding methods to deal with the Black Flag Army, and as usual, used looting to make themselves stronger, and waited for the opportunity for a decisive battle.
Many other strategies are also pessimistic and optimistic.
It is said that one should never confront the savages head-on.
He also said that although the savages were formidable, they had to be defeated first, and they had to try it out in a small-scale head-on battle.
Hauge, the Tianxing Khan, also accepted the advice of his ministers and quickly established his own court in Zhangjiakou. He granted many officials and titles, and also granted many rewards to the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.
The first battle broke out in Zhuolu County, south of Zhangjiakou.
After the Eight Banners raised troops in Zhangjiakou, they took advantage of the situation and captured several small surrounding counties. After gathering the army, they also deployed defenses in these counties.
The Black Flag Army arrived at Xiaowutai Mountain late, and Zhuolu County had already fallen when they arrived.
Now we are heading north, and the siege will soon begin.
The Eight Banners also wanted to test the quality of the black flag army in Zhuolu County and neighboring Huailai County, so the leader of the army in the city was Leke Dehun, the leader of the red flag. There were only more than 3,000 garrison troops, not many but fine, armored soldiers.
Very many.
I just hope that this time it will not be the Savage King who leads the army, but the Savage King's nephew as the general, and the outcome of the battle may be different.
But the tactics are the same.
The environment has also changed.
It is different from the past when the Eight Banners entered the pass, which was in a state of decay.
After the Eight Banners' own series of outrageous maneuvers and militaristic defeats on the battlefield, the Black Flag was able to enter the country and quickly stabilized the internal situation and public sentiment of the Qing Dynasty through a series of policies.
He also forcefully corrected the mistakes of the Eight Banners.
The people suddenly had a target to support, but the target for their hatred was still there, and they were still making trouble, because they left the capital to seize land and clashed with the gentry.
Just like Li Zicheng brought disaster to the gentry in the capital and made the Manchus more popular when they entered the country.
Under such a backdrop, in the eyes of the common people and gentry, it is self-evident who is the orthodox court.
Zhuolu County.
Black Flag finally launched an attack after the local people had been eagerly waiting for it. Before that, people living in more than a hundred villages and rural castles around Zhuolu County kept coming to beg for help. Elderly people from all over came to kneel and beg Black Flag to quickly suppress the rebellion.
Recover Zhuolu County.
Just because the Eight Banners did not forget their old traditions after they raised their troops. First, Zhangjiakou was forcibly plundered, and then surrounding counties and local villages. Wherever the Eight Banners soldiers went, all inhabited people were forcibly plundered!
Not to mention the massacre of Han people.
A village near Zhuolu County had been massacred and plundered, so it did not dare to resist. However, after the Eight Banners soldiers entered the city, they continued to brutally commit violence in the city and ordered all the people in the city to shave their heads again.
I thought that as long as these common people shaved their heads, they would be semi-bound to the same boat.
"The door is open! Welcome the army into the city! Welcome the black flag into the city!"
When the black flag army came to Zhuolu County, they only fired two rounds of artillery, and then when the armored men pressed forward, the city gate opened with one blast!
The gentry and common people in the city, who had their heads shaved again, all clicked their money rat tails. With their bald heads, they cooperated with the strong men recruited by the Eight Banners as auxiliary soldiers to help defend the city wall and rushed to the city gate. The Eight Banners soldiers were caught off guard and did not stop them.
Upon seeing this, the armored men with black flags immediately swarmed over!
"Order the people to retreat! Anyone walking in front of the army with weapons will be killed!"
The superiors also issued an order for the armored men to be careful and try not to accidentally hurt the people.
But when the armored men looked at the bald men in Zhuolu County, their blood-red eyes couldn't tell the difference between bald heads and money rat tails as they charged.
