Chapter 184: Increase! Which one is better?

Before the Battle of Liaodong began.

No one expected it.

The first war between the two sides did not happen in strategic places like Haicheng, Liaoyang, Ningyuan, and Jinzhou.

But Tielingtun Castle, which looks inconspicuous at all.

At this time, it was on the Great Wilderness near Tielingtun Castle.

A huge camp was formed for the Ming army, with a large amount of material accumulated in it. Engineers and baggage troops placed important military materials in the hard camp, and the entire army was preparing for combat in an orderly manner in accordance with the combat regulations.

However, the two sides have not started a formal war.

The Ming army also received news that the Qing army from Haicheng and even Fengtian had launched a large-scale southward movement.

"Hold the Tartars in Liaoyang and Fengtian!" Peng Jun laughed.

"It's really an unexpected surprise, but it's good that we're going to fight the Tartars here now. The most important goal of this battle is to kill the Tartars. It doesn't matter how much territory they occupy."

Peng Jun's words had just fallen.

There was a rumbling sound of horse hooves coming from afar.

The eight thousand horse team led by Jin Chang, deputy commander of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, arrived about three or four miles away from Tielingtun Castle.

The formation began to be set up along the east side of Tielingtun Fort.

Jinchang was a little bit stubborn and set up a village on the east side of Tieling Tun Fort.

The Tielingtun Fort in the distance was surrounded by groups. If you want to pick up the people inside, you can only break the encirclement of the Ming army.

At this time, there was a Tun Fort thirty miles west of Tieling Tun Fort.

It is named Dongchang Tun Castle.

Where is the mouth of Liaohe River?

It was originally used to prevent the Ming army from going upstream from the Liao River.

There are 6,000 soldiers in Dongchang Tun Fort.

But it is not the Eight Banners.

It is the Eiba Banners formed not long ago.

Because Ningxia was occupied by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

So many Hives came out - this is mainly because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom started with the White Lotus Sect, so there was some religious conflict between the two sides.

Although these Eight Banners were newly formed.

But in fact it is also the foundation of the serious Qing Dynasty's military.

It was formed based on the local green camp in Ningxia and the military officers of Beijing.

The leader is called Ha Guoxing.

Out of the Ha family in Ningxia.

The Ningxia Ha family is a well-known family of the Qing Dynasty, Huihuiwuju.

For example, Ha Guoxing's father, Ha Panlong, was the top scholar in the second year of Qianlong's reign, and was appointed as the governor of Huguang.

Ha Guoxing himself was a mid-level martial arts Jinshi in the 17th year of Qianlong's reign. He was later elected as a third-class guard. In the 33rd year of Qianlong's reign, he was promoted to Qianqingmen Walking.

Qianlong once commented on him: "Although the country has risen, the Han army is familiar with military affairs. He has also been a guard of the Qianqing Gate, which is no different from the Manchu minister."

In other words, once he becomes an inner court guard, the Han ranks will be no different from the Manchu ministers and have the qualifications to be called slaves.

In fact, before demarcating the pearl.

Huihui was regarded as a "Han people who believed in the Green Church". Some of the later generations who went to play the role of "After the Origin" and returned to their ancestors was really ridiculous.

In the Qing Dynasty, it was an honor that was beyond the rules for non-Manchu and Mongolian children to be promoted to the inner court guards, which meant that even if they were not a bannerman, they were qualified to become slaves of the emperor.

It's so slavery.

Originally, Ha Guoxing and his six thousand Furfed soldiers only needed to defend Dongchang Fort.

However, after learning that Tielingtun Fort was surrounded, he took the initiative to contact Jinchang and expressed his intention to attack from the west and attack Jinchang in the east.

After Jinchang received the news, he suddenly felt that the opportunity was rare.

He also did not expect to annihilate more than 10,000 Ming troops.

I just want to temporarily clear the siege of Teng Fort Tieling and bring more than 10,000 bannermen trapped in Teng Fort to Haicheng or Liaoyang City.

So I lined up from a distance and didn't launch an attack. In fact, I was waiting for the arrival of Kazakhstan's troops.

"Brig Commander, the Tartars don't seem to be planning to attack, they lined up from a distance. It seems they are waiting for reinforcements, right?"

The chief of staff of the 32nd Brigade stood on the horse's back and observed for a long time before sitting back on the horse's back and saying to Feng Zhaoji.

"Reinforcements? It's good to have reinforcements. It's better to bring all the tens of thousands of Tartars in Manchuria to reimburse them in one battle. Wouldn't this Liao territory be restored?" Feng Zhaoji smiled.

"But the reinforcements of the Tartars are not under our control. We have to keep a close eye on them. We cannot let the Tartars in Tielingtun Castle jump over the wall and launch an attack after the general town orders!"

"A lot of reinforcements have arrived!"

Peng Jun has already obtained information from Fengtian.

"Linning led 20,000 to the south. It seems that the Tartars in this Manchuria have not been beaten yet. I think more than 20,000 people can fight us."

The commander of the 11th Brigade, Chen Jianhui, smiled.

"About this, the Tartars gathered a lot of people. Fengtian had 20,000 cavalry heading south, and 8,000 came from Haicheng. Dongchang Fort saw that the Eight Banners at the mouth of Liaohe River had also dispatched 6,000. In addition, the 1,500 Eight Banners soldiers in Tielingtun Fort, the 1,500 Eight Banners can also mobilize two or three thousand. To fight for wealth, it is enough to mobilize three thousand soldiers. There are almost 40,000 soldiers here."

Chen Jianhui calculated by his fingers.

According to normal forces comparison.

There were three brigades on the Ming army that had 15,000 people.

There are estimated to be more than 38,000 people on the Qing army.

Basically, it's two against one and wealthy.

Moreover, the Qing army had a castle to rely on.

Viewed on the books.

It would be understandable that the Qing army dared to come out and fight.

After all, it seems that the Qing army has some advantages in terms of strength and situation.

The Ming army's five thousand soldiers came from afar, but they were at a disadvantage no matter how they looked.

However, both Peng Jun and Chen Jianhui beside him had relaxed smiles on their faces, Xiang Dazai, the two brigade commanders.

"It's already a surprise to be able to attract more than 30,000 people."

Peng Jun smiled.

"Let Feng Zhaoji keep an eye on the castle, and you can't let the Tartars run out. This bait cannot be killed so early, otherwise these Tartar cavalry would not have the energy to fight." Peng Jun turned his head and said to a messenger beside him.

Then he continued to check the Qing army's formation in the distance with his telescope.

"Since the Tartars do not launch an attack immediately, we are not in a hurry. It is best to attract more Tartar soldiers."

Of course Peng Jun is willing to fight here.

Because this battle to restore Liao was very popular.

But in fact, conquering Liaodi is the second priority. The key is to use Liaodong as a springboard and the army breaks into Yanyun and takes directly to Beijing.

So if we could fight here, we would annihilate all the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.

That is an unparalleled merit - I'm afraid there will be no chance after that.

After conquering Liaoyang, no matter how many Tartars were killed in Liaodong, the army would not continue to go deeper. As long as the Qing army in Manchu and Mongolia was blocked outside the pass, the army would then conquer Jinzhou and Ningyuan, break Shanhaiguan, and seize Beijing before the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and return it to the old capital.

Therefore, Peng Jun knew that this was definitely a rare opportunity.

Opportunity to make achievements.

Thinking of something.

After Peng Jun used a telescope to observe the surrounding battlefield, he spoke: "The Tartars outside the pass are basically cavalry. Go and pull out the barbed wire and arrange it. This thing is probably useful to deal with cavalry."

"Abide by the order!"

The battalion commander of the engineering battalion directly under the Third Front had just taken the order and left.

There is something urgent today, I will be a little late for the third update, and the update will be a little later tomorrow.
