Chapter 640 Marco died in battle(2/2)
This news is so shocking...
Compared with the officers and generals of the Chinese army, Yang Guozhu was the one who knew the most detailed battlefield information, but Ma Ke's situation was too surprising.
The latest battlefield intelligence was often reported at all hours of the night, and a new wave of battle conditions changed. Each wave of battle conditions was very different, and the continuous and close rout of the army was also unbelievable.
Yang Guozhu couldn't believe that Wang Tingchen of Ma Ke could be defeated so quickly and so miserably?
He knew that although Marco was arrogant, his men were still capable of fighting. How could it be possible for the Jiannu cavalry to break through so quickly? So many tanks and Folan cannons were all vegetarians?
Moreover, Wu Sangui was not far away, and there were many troops on both sides. If they cooperated with each other in the rescue, it would be even less likely to be defeated. How could this be possible?
He only asked Ye Bushou to investigate in detail, and the latest news was that Ma Ke, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan Pass, had indeed died in battle.
Most of his subordinates and servants were still there, most of the main barracks and most of the car camps were still there. Together with the civilian men who dug trenches, they formed a mighty wave of rout, which was defeated by the Jiannu slaves...
The Battle of Songjin has just begun, and one of our own soldiers has been killed? How can they explain this to the Holy Emperor, and to the government and the public who are looking forward to it?
Everyone looked to the southeast, and through the hills and ridges, they could faintly hear cries coming from them. They saw dense black dots on the plains, which were countless fleeing people and horses. They could not be counted all over the mountains and plains.
After Zhu Cixiang received the information, he took a deep breath. He overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. Fighting with such a servant system was far from meeting the needs of this era.
After all, due to his own time travel, Jiannubi had made great changes in history, and the ordinary Ming army had no advantage against it.
Historically, the Battle of Songshan was fought vigorously in the early stages. In fact, it was also due to the small number of slaves. An army of 100,000 to 200,000 people fought against a Qing army of 40,000 to 50,000 people. Although they made a small profit, the overall stalemate remained.
However, after Huang Taiji mobilized his country to support him and the forces of both sides were equal, the contact between Song and Xing was quickly cut off, and the Ming army was defeated.
At present, the overall strength of the Ming army has not increased much, and Jiannu has more powerful firearms. Even if the Eight Banners has suffered a lot of damage, the strength comparison is hard to say. After all, Jiannu firmly controls Rufeng Mountain.
This defeat was also due to the fact that several car battalions were defeated first. Those soldiers had powerful equipment and firepower, but they still collapsed at the first touch.
It was because of their defeat that they affected the main barracks at the back. Ma Ke and Wang Tingchen actually still had some fighting strength.
Although I don't have a good impression of Marco, I am still very satisfied with him fighting and dying for his country.
The military ruffians and the servants were both indispensable, and Zhu Cixiang became even more determined in this idea.
The top priority is to protect Yang Guozhu's flanks first and prevent the defeated troops and the following Jiannu cavalry from affecting the Shimen Mountain battle of Yang Guozhu and others.
Huangtu Ridge cannot be given up, and it needs to be fought hard. Huangtu Ridge must be conquered quickly.
In this way, the overall strategic layout of the Ming army will not be affected, and the negative impact of the defeat of Ji Zhen soldiers and Ma Ke's death in battle can be minimized.
However, Wu Sangui's troops on the front line were not mentioned, so they obviously still have confidence in their combat capabilities.
At this time, the battle in Huangtuling was still going on, Wu Sangui's army was in chaos, and he and Liu Zhaoji were leading their troops to fight against Jiannu. As expected, famous historical figures had their own unique characteristics.
The battlefield-experienced general is different. Although he was frightened, he did not panic and quickly made reasonable and rapid response arrangements. Otherwise, Wu Sangui's Guan Ning army would have been defeated. I like the Ming Dynasty. In the prosperous era, from the time when the prince supervised the country, please collect it: (www
