The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 367 The Simplest and Roughest Style of Play (Second)

After the astonishment passed, Jiang Chuan began to seriously consider the suggestions of Shanjia and Di Qing.

The rear coach makes decisions, and the opinions of the forward front-line generals have very important reference significance.

The three consecutive battles have proved that the Dashun Army is actually a war scum, and they can still rely on their numbers to bluff against the Ming Army.

But for a real professional army like Shangjiang's army, an elite army, and a war machine, they are naturally exposed and vulnerable.

Based on this situation, Jiang Chuan began to reflect on whether his previous plan was too cautious.

Looking at the current situation, with the combat power of the Dashun Army, it is really not as difficult as simply gathering a large army to push them across.

If it can be pushed flat, then there is no need for a sneak attack by water, it is completely useless.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Chuan felt that flat push was very feasible, so he called Bai Shan and Hu Zongxian to discuss it together.

The result of the discussion was that both of them agreed to push along the way.

War, since there is a simple solution, why make it so complicated.

Complicated tactics are prepared for powerful enemies. Since it is the five scum of war, just crush them all the way, and there is no need to talk about tactics at all.

After everyone agreed, Jiang Chuan made a decisive decision:
Order Shanjia and Di Qing to temporarily stop advancing and take a precautionary posture to avoid a decisive battle with Li Zicheng's main force, and to fight Li Zicheng after the main force arrives.

After the order was issued, Jiang Chuan ordered Hu Zongxian to lead 1 troops to defend Shanhaiguan, and he decided to personally lead the Chinese army and the right army of Baishan to go out together.

At the same time, people were sent to send orders to Li Yongnian and Mu Zuo in Datong, asking them to quickly organize manpower to transport food, grass and luggage into the customs.

One order after another was quickly executed, and there were nearly [-] troops to go out, but they were extremely efficient, and it only took half a day to complete the preparations before departure.

The [-] right army in Baishan acted as the forerunner and marched fifty miles ahead of schedule.Jiang Chuan personally led the [-] Chinese army, the engineering battalion, and the supply battalion behind him.

After marching for a day and a half, the army joined Shanjia's former army and Di Qing's left army.

The 10,000+ army set up camps according to each army. The front army was in the front, the left army was on the left, and the right army was on the right, protecting Jiangchuan's central army in the middle. The last camps were the engineering battalion and the supply battalion.

The five camps depend on each other, and they are like horns of each other. They are distributed in the wilderness outside Tianjin Wei.

After the army set up camp, Jiang Chuan didn't care to rest, so he summoned the generals to discuss matters in his large tent of the Chinese army.

"Shanjia, Di Qing, the two of you know the enemy's situation best. What's the situation with Li Zicheng now?" Jiang Chuan asked in a deep voice sitting behind the handsome case.

"Reporting to my lord, since Li Zicheng lost Gao Yigong and Yuan Zong's second group of troops, he has stopped moving forward. He set up camp twenty miles north of Tianjin Wei, and at the same time sent tens of thousands of troops into Tianjin Wei City. It seems that they want to strengthen the Tianjin Guard's garrison force, and they want to become horns with the Tianjin Guard."

Di Qing reported.

Jiang Chuan nodded and pondered for a moment, then said: "It seems that you really hurt Li Zicheng this time, making him more cautious."

"No matter how cautious we are, we are just a group of frightened sheep. With our superior artillery fire, even the hardest turtle shell can be smashed open."

It was Shanjia who was talking, and he wanted to lead the people to rush up in one breath, but Jiang Chuan's order made him be on guard, so he has been a little depressed these two days.

Only these generals who have really been in contact with the Dashun Army know how scumbag the Dashun Army's combat effectiveness is.

Jiang Chuan laughed, Shanjia's words were right.The Manchu Tartars were so powerful, they were all cleaned up by themselves, and their hometowns were copied, and the emperor and empress dowager are still living in their own palace.

So there is not much to discuss about how to fight this battle.

"In that case, let's smash Li Zicheng's tortoise shell and turn him into a dead tortoise. The Lord will obey!"

Jiang Chuan said suddenly.

Everyone's expression froze, Huo Ran got up and looked at Jiang Chuan.

"Di Qing, my commander ordered you to lead the left army to monitor the Tianjin garrison tomorrow. If the enemy comes out, stand still. If the enemy dares to go out of the city to rescue, I will beat them back severely."

"Di Qing takes the order!" Di Qing accepted the order with cupped fists.

"Shanjia, Baishan, you two will lead the main force to attack Li Zi's original stronghold with this commander tomorrow. Except for Di Qing's left army, gather all the artillery of the entire army, and Li Han, the captain of the Shenji Battalion, will command it. At the same time, each All the musketeers and grenadiers of the corps were also assembled to form the first assault echelon on standby. Bai Mu followed the commander in charge of the central army."

"The last general is waiting to take the order!" Bai Shan, Shanjia, and Bai Mu took the order in unison.

The basic style of play is like this. Di Qing's left army monitors and restrains the defenders of Tianjin Wei, and then the others attack Li Zicheng's camp with all their strength.

Very simple and very practical.

Jiang Chuan kept in mind the teaching of a certain great man: When the overall strength of one's own side is at a disadvantage, then concentrate the strength to form a strength advantage on the local battlefield.

Although Jiang Chuan's current military strength is not as large as Li Zicheng's, he is learning and using it flexibly, and is ready to concentrate all the heavy firepower to attack the fortifications.

His ideas are simple and brutal.Right from the very beginning, Li Zicheng was beaten with the most violent artillery fire and offensive, and the morale of the Dashun army was crushed.

Once the Dashun Army collapsed, the only thing left was to capture the prisoners and clean up the battlefield.

Sometimes fighting is complicated, and sometimes it is very simple.When it is simple, it is because they are in a position to crush the opponent in terms of strength.

And complicated, it is naturally because the strength cannot be head-on with the opponent, so various strategies are needed.

Ordinarily, even if the Jiang family army did not have cannons to cheer them up, with 10,000+ tigers and tigers, they would confront Li Zicheng head-on, and they would teach Li Zicheng how to behave every minute.

Only in this case, casualties are inevitable.No matter how scumbag the Dashun Army's fighting power is, there are still some elites among them.If you are so tough, even if you win, there will be a lot of casualties.

Now that there is a big killer like artillery, why bother to waste your life with Li Zicheng?Li Zicheng's soldiers are worthless, but Jiang Chuan's own soldiers are very valuable.

So since he had the simplest and most effective method, Jiang Chuan would naturally choose to use this.

Think about it, Jiangchuan's central army has a hundred field artillery.The front army and the right army also each have fifty field guns, adding up to a total of two hundred field guns.This is not counting the fifty field cannons in Di Qing's left army.

All the musketeers in the whole army together numbered 6000, and the grenadiers 5000.

Such a large number of firearms troops may not be a big deal for the war in the era of hot weapons, but it is simply a nightmare for an enemy like the Dashun Army, which has an absolute number of cold weapons.

And tomorrow is the beginning of their nightmare.

　The second one arrives.There is one more.
