"Sir, do you want us to go out of the city and fight?!”
"Otherwise, the morale of the soldiers will be greatly affected. Look at those Han soldiers, their faces are filled with fear. If it weren't for our soldiers, they would have surrendered long ago and handed over our Golden State Guard!”
The deputy general beside him suggested.
The Golden State Guard's garrison officer had a headache. The deputy general's words made sense. If they defended the city, it was obvious that they were afraid of the enemy coming from the sea. This dealt a huge blow to the morale of the soldiers who were filled with pride and had always thought that they were the strongest soldiers.
If the soldiers were already like this, then the soldiers of the Han army were even more so.
Even though the Manchu army had always looked down on the Han army, thinking that they were a bunch of weak chickens and defeated opponents.
However, on many battlefields, they were the main attackers.
Whether it was defending or attacking the city, large numbers of Han soldiers were chased up by them. They used the lives of the Han soldiers to open up a gap, depleting the enemy's strength and will to fight.
Finally, they would let the Qing soldiers in the rear recuperate and enter the battlefield!
The Manchu Tartars were extremely familiar with this kind of battle tactic. Every time they fought, they would be able to win with very few casualties.
As for the Han flag that was used as cannon fire?
Were they human?
There was no need to count the number of casualties. Once the conditions for raising the entry flag were out, a large number of cannon fodder could be immediately recruited.
Because the casualties were all the Manchu Tartar soldiers, the rest of the Han army and even the Mongolian army would not be counted. It made the Manchu Tartars look like they were very good at fighting. Every time they fought, there were very few casualties.
Moreover, he spread the lie that the so-called "Jurchen are invincible" all over the world.
What was even more ridiculous was that many people believed this lie!
When they saw the Manchu Tartars sending out tens of thousands of Manchu soldiers, they were so scared that they did not dare to fight. It was very common for them to abandon their cities and give up their fortresses.
It had to be said that in this era, the Manchu Tartars were very good at advertising fishing boats!
It was even more powerful than those wealthy merchants and scholars of the Ming Dynasty who easily caused the people to boil over to threaten the Ming court and the emperor.
The garrison officer of the Golden State Guard was a soldier. Among the Manchu Tartars, he was considered a high-ranking officer. Although he might not have a say in the court of the Manchu Tartars, he was a local emperor.
Naturally, he would not be fooled by such lies. On the contrary, he was one of the commanders of the Manchu Tartars who used the Han flag as artillery fire.
He knew very well that as long as the soldiers of the Han army had a hope of victory and were mercilessly threatened by the supervising team, coupled with a little reward, they would be able to erupt with powerful combat strength and the will to resist.
The Manchu Tartars understood the Han soldiers better than the officers of the Ming Dynasty. He knew how to raise their morale and their fighting spirit.
As a result, the Han soldiers under the Qing Dynasty were much stronger than the soldiers under the Ming Dynasty. Most of them were just putting on a layer of skin, as if they had changed into a different person, erupting with a completely different combat strength.
This had to be said to be the sorrow of the Ming Dynasty and the sorrow of the Han people.
It was because they knew where the Han flag belonged that the Golden State Guard's garrison officer placed great importance on the morale of the Han flag.
He would not allow the morale of the Han army to weaken!
Otherwise, without the cannon fodder of the Han army, how could they fight with just the thousands of soldiers of the Manchu army?!
The full flag had a total of 1,500 soldiers, but this was the state of war.
Now was the time for all the citizens to defend the city. All the adult men in the Banner Ding's family took their weapons and went to the battlefield. It was very simple to erupt thousands of Tartar troops.
Because there were many men in every Qiding family of every Tartar!
This was very similar to the guards of the Ming Dynasty. Every banner household was equivalent to a military household. If the father died, the son would take over.
However, the members of the Banner Ding family who had not entered the banner had joined in large numbers because they did not have any training. They were no different from the young and strong commoners, and their combat strength was definitely much weaker.
Fortunately, the Manchu Tartars had just risen to power. From the moment they rose, they had spent their days in war. They had not lived a good life for many years, so they more or less still had a lot of combat power and military knowledge.
He was much stronger than the young men of the Ming Dynasty.
1,500 soldiers that could be used in the field, 3,000 Tartar men that were temporarily pulled into the battlefield, and 3,000 Han soldiers. This was the military strength of the regular Jinzhou Guards.
It had almost drained the entire military strength of the Golden State Guard!
This was also the mainstream of this era. Once a city was besieged, almost all the men, women, and children in the city would go to the battlefield together.
Otherwise, the siege would not have taken months or even a year.
Even in the recent Battle of Songjin, the Manchu Tartars were very powerful, but they had surrounded Zu Dashou in Jin Zhou for a year. Zu Dashou was isolated and helpless. The people in the city were eating people. He couldn't hold on any longer, so he surrendered.
Otherwise, if there was an endless supply of support to Jin Zhou, the battle would probably continue for a few more years until both sides could not take it.
Tartar Jia La, who felt that the military power in his city was not weak, thought for a moment and said,"We have to go out of the city and fight to test the enemy's combat strength! "If we really can't defeat them, we can retreat to the city and wait for reinforcements. I don't believe that they can take down our Golden State Guard with just 5,000 elite soldiers!”
The Tartars were full of confidence. Because they were on guard, the warehouses in the city were full of food and could hold on for a long time.
With the speed of the Manchu army, it would take at most seven days for the cavalry to arrive.
