Chapter 185: A desperate battle

After dusk came, Mangguertai summoned all the generals of the two banners, as well as the generals who did not go to war this afternoon and were lucky enough to save their lives.

Everyone held a military meeting in the lobby of the city lord's mansion in Gushan Fort to determine the plan to fight the enemy.

Idiots all know that when the Ming New Army arrived outside Gushan Fort, the army was approaching. It was obvious that the good ones did not come, and the people who came were not good.

I believe that all the generals, including Mangourtai, still remember the muskets, crossbows and artillery of the Ming New Army.

The previous lightning battle left a deep shadow in their hearts.

The new Ming army's military equipment was too powerful and could not be resisted by the flesh and blood of the soldiers.

Especially the crossbows and short guns used by those cavalry brigades later were simply unsolvable weapons.

The soldiers of the Han army's 10,000-strong army's blue flag were wiped out in just a short moment, and even one of them escaped, which was very scary.

It can be imagined that when the Ming New Army officially launches an attack, it will still use a large number of these super powerful and sharp weapons and equipment.

All the generals were shuddered by the soldiers of the Han army's blue flag who were covered with arrows or whose blood holes were cut by muskets this afternoon.

"We can't sit still and wait for death!"

"We are going to rush out and fight to the death with the new Ming army!"

"We can't die cowardly in the city, I'd rather die on the way to attack!"

Before the meeting began, everyone from the two flags could not wait to shout.

The opinions of these Later Jin generals are very representative, that is, everyone should not defend the city and go out to fight the Ming New Army to the death.

Even if you are beaten to death, you will be beaten to death quickly. You might as well be beaten to death after death.

However, Mangurtai rejected such an opinion, and he firmly opposed his side's proactive attack on the camp of the Ming New Army tomorrow.

He believed that with the military equipment of the Ming New Army, the most important thing was that they had a large number of cannons, and those with extremely powerful cannons seemed to not explode casually.

Under the cross-firing of the opponent's cannons, crossbows, and muskets, they rushed towards the enemy's camp and fought against the opponent in a battle, which was pure suicide.

Perhaps the soldiers could not escape to the Ming New Army, and were all overturned by the guns and cannons of the Ming New Army.

"We need to prepare both ways!"

Manguertai made the final decision, "First of all, retreat without fighting, is not the style of our soldiers of Zhenglan Banner, and it will also have a huge blow to everyone's morale."

"What's more, I have never fought with the new army of the Ming Dynasty. No one knows that they are glamorous on the outside but are actually frightening?"

He paused and said, "Their cavalry looked very sharp this afternoon, but the number was absolutely not large. At best, it would be amazing if there were 20,000 or 30,000 people."

"What if those elite cavalry are their most powerful combat power? If we do not retreat without fighting, it would be too unfair."

"Not only did I lose these defense lines that cost a lot of money and massive materials, but I also made the Ming new army in vain."

He expressed his concerns and plans, "On the one hand, we must prepare for the retreat of the large army."

"Before retreating, a great battle with the enemy must be fought."

"And, war will start tomorrow, the faster the better, so as not to waste precious time, but also prepare for the new Ming army who are new to the arrival."

"We launch the harassment tactics first, forcing the new army of the Ming court to come and attack us, wait for our efforts to fight positions with them."

"If they attacked the city, they would not be afraid. Everyone stayed in the city and the camp outside the city to carry out defensive operations, and took the time to shoot the enemy with our bows and arrows."

"If you can kill one, you will earn one."

"We are not fighting for ourselves, we are thinking about the Great Jin Kingdom."

Mangourtai spoke now, and he didn't look like a man known for his recklessness, and he looked ruthless and wise.

In his opinion, the enemy had such a large cannon, which would definitely attack his own defense line, even within this Lone Mountain Fort.

At that time, our side will defend Daying and Gushan Fort.

In the camps inside or outside the city, soldiers used various buildings to cover them, fought guerrillas with the Ming New Army, and sought opportunities to plot against the opponent's soldiers.

With the help of the cover of complex terrain, even if our side suffers heavy losses, the new Ming army will have to pay a certain price.

Relatively speaking, this kind of fighting method is much more effective than a large army's direct charge to commit suicide.

Yes, it is true that he is dying so quickly, but it is useless at all.

Mangourtai believes that relying on the complex terrain inside and outside the city and a river as a natural danger, as long as one side operates properly, even if two people exchange their lives for each other, it will be worth it. Computer terminal:/

However, this is already the most optimistic estimate of Mangourtai.

It is a dream to kill more Ming New Army at a smaller price.

In fact, even Manguertai himself thought it was ridiculous and more an indescribable sadness when he thought that the Later Jin army was going to compete with the Ming New Army.

Population has always been the biggest weakness of the Later Jin Dynasty and the most powerful advantage of the Ming Empire.

Now, the Later Jin Dynasty has to use its own disadvantages to fight against the most powerful advantages of the Ming Empire, which is awkward no matter how you look at it.

If it weren't for being forced to go to the forefront, Mangguertai wouldn't have made such a bad move.

What's the use of more than 30,000 warriors of the Later Jin army can defeat the Ming New Army with 10,000 or 20,000 people? A genius remembers 未人中中m.x/8/1/z//o/m/

As for those coated slaves, their combat power can be ignored.

One million people died in the Ming Dynasty, and another two million could be replenished immediately.

The population of the Han people is simply endless.

Since the Battle of Sarhu, the Later Jin army has killed countless Ming troops, but now the number of these Ming new troops outside Gushan Fort is increasing?

"What method did the Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Northern Ming Dynasty use to make such a big change happen in a very short period of time?"

With the status of the three Mangourtai Beile, he is qualified to know most of the various information obtained by the Later Jin Dynasty.

At first glance, the current Ming Empire is divided into three parts, which is very beneficial to both the Later Jin Dynasty and the Mongolian tribes on the northern grasslands.

According to common sense, the current Ming Empire is full of wars and chaos.

The Northern Ming Empire should also devote most of its energy to domestic hegemony.

At least in the short term, it will not be any threat to the Later Jin Dynasty.

But now, it seems that the development of things has completely exceeded Huang Taiji and others' expectations and has become confusing.

In fact, according to information from all parties, the current Beiming is more than twice as powerful than the original Ming Dynasty?

Based on the military preparation and level of the Ming New Army in front of us, it is more than three times stronger than before!

Can the Ming Empire, which is rising rapidly, be defeated by its Later Jin?

"Seven Hate..."

Manguertai suddenly thought of something and suddenly felt a little confused.

He didn't know how to evaluate it. His father Khan's seven hatreds rose up to attack Ming.

It was after Nurhaci announced the seven major hatreds that the Later Jin Kingdom officially launched an army to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the Later Jin Kingdom must have not clearly realized that although its opponent was not very strong at that time, its foundation was so strong.

A series of consecutive victories in the past few years made the Later Jin Kingdom believe that the Ming Empire is weak and can be bullied, and you can control whatever you want.

Later facts seem to prove this.

But now the army of the Ming New Army was approaching, Mangurtai finally felt that the Ming Empire was obviously an extremely huge tiger, and the Later Jin Kingdom was at most a hedgehog.

Even though it was covered in thorns, it was not even qualified to beg for mercy in front of the tiger.

In the past, the tiger in the Ming Empire fell asleep, and was stinged by a small hedgehog...

Now, the tiger woke up, and the hedgehog accidentally had almost no chance of turning over.

The biggest possibility is that he was slapped to death by a big tiger.
