No matter how hard Qi Jiajun tries, he can't manage such a long coastline in Zhejiang and Fujian. The number of conscripts recruited is not enough, and the long round-trip time is not a problem. So, Qi Jiguang and Tan Lun discussed it and decided to think of a good way to ensure the long-term stability of Fujian.
The first is land defense,
It is divided into eight battalions, six of which are responsible for one area every two battalions, and are responsible for the defense of Funing, Fuqing and Quanzhou respectively.
Qi Jiguang himself took the 2nd Battalion as the mobile unit. The rest of the soldiers and horses stayed in Fuzhou.
The second is the defense of the sea, building water villages on the sea surface and distributing warships to the water villages. Fully replenish local food and ammunition to ensure that the power to stop the pirates at sea is sufficient.
Qi Jiguang is still deploying here. Because of the last defeat, the enemy is unwilling to make a comeback. With 65438+5000 people, these people went straight to Xianyou County and tried to attack Fuzhou through here.
First, the enemy is outnumbered, and there are 200 soldiers in Xianyou.
It is said that the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, rich resources and many soldiers. But it is precisely because of the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty that there were not many soldiers who really guarded the coast.
Why? Because most of the enemies attacked from land, there was no army with a strong navy at that time. For this reason, there is no need to guard the coastal areas.
At that time, the enemy assembled 27,000 people, including the vanguard troops 1.5 million. When gangs came to Xianyou, there were only 200 regular troops and 250 militiamen in Xianyou, all of whom were civilians.
Qi Jiguang has troops in Fuqing, Funing and Quanzhou, but he is unguarded in Xianyou, which is also the news that the enemy got. So people from all over Qi Jiguang couldn't catch up with Xianyou at that time.
In fact, even if Qi Jiguang's troops come, there are only more than 6,000 people, less than half of the enemy's vanguard troops, and the disparity in strength is still visible.
Qi Jiguang means to let Xianyou soldiers and civilians stall the enemy first. As long as the city is not breached, then QiGuJun can come to support with the fastest speed.
The enemy also knows this, so they have invaded Xinghua on the ship 16, and then more than 10000 people surrounded Xianyou city. Everyone is racing against time. Qi Jiguang is coming here non-stop, and the enemy is constantly storming Xianyou County.
The negotiation is just to buy time.
In Qi Jiguang's view, it is not easy to deal with the enemy this time, because they dare to lead an army to attack the city. This is a siege here, not just a plunder to leave.
At that time, in order to win Xianyou City as soon as possible, the Japanese army sent people to surrender all the soldiers and civilians in Xianyou City. This was exactly what Qi Jiguang wanted, so Qi Jiguang sent someone to let the officers and men guarding the city talk to the enemy.
What do you mean by peace talks? To buy more time, of course.
Peace talks, while strengthening the city, making guarding weapons, while waiting for the early arrival of Qi Jiguang reinforcements.
It is hard to imagine that after all this, the enemy was trapped at the gate for more than a month. In the end, people were forced into a hurry and attacked the city on a large scale.
It was not until the end of 65438+February that 6000 reinforcements from Qi Jiguang arrived in Xianyou. The enemy was really defeated. Isn't this bullying? 65,438+/kloc-0,000,000 troops were trapped in Xianyou City for more than two months. They didn't capture the city, but looked forward to the enemy's reinforcements.
Qi Jiguang made a tactical plan.
Qi Jiguang has 6,000 troops, while the Japanese currently have 1.5 million. This figure gap is really too big. If it is a direct confrontation with the enemy, then Qigujun is not dominant.
Because of this, Qi Jiguang found that the enemy soldiers besieging Xianyou City were divided into four roads, which were stationed at four gates in the southeast and northwest of Xianyou City, so their1.5000 army was divided into four.
Stationed.
Only in this way can the battle plan be finalized. Qi Jiguang intends to divide-and-conquer, and attack the southern base first. Once successful, he will immediately divide his troops and attack the east and west second bases without giving them any support.
The arrangement in Qi Jiguang is as follows:
Wang Rulong's troops are on the left, and Hu Shouren's troops are on the right. Jinke overseers are responsible for the support work, and the main force goes straight to the enemy's southern base.
After winning the south base, Chen Hao led the troops as right-wing commandos, and Li Chao led the troops as left-wing commandos, attacking the enemy's east base and west base respectively.
So what should Beiji do? Qi Jiguang also made arrangements. His name is Lv Chongzhou, and there are not many troops in Tieshan area. The purpose is very simple, that is, to confuse the enemies of the northern base and make them afraid to make a move.
Xianyou won a great victory and the Japanese suffered heavy casualties.
Qi Jiguang picked a good day, it was foggy in the morning, and the enemy didn't realize it until Qi Jiguang's troops reached the front.
At that time, the enemy was still attacking the city, so in desperation, they had to turn around and fight with Qi Jiajun. As a result, Qi Jiajun was defeated and had to choose to flee to the southern base.
In February next year, the remaining party of the Japanese will make up 1 10,000 Japanese and spend three days around Xianyou. After Guang Guang broke the city, he hunted down the defeated Wang Cangping and beheaded him hundreds of times. More than one person fell into the cliff valley and died. Thousands of survivors ran to Caipiling in Zhangpu. After the light was divided into five whistles, he went up the cliff with short soldiers, and hundreds of people were captured and beheaded. The thief then looted the fishing boat and went out to sea. -biography of Ming Qi Jiguang
At this time, Qigujun surrounded Nanlei and asked me to burn the fence. In the end, the south base was breached, and the fleeing enemy could only flee to the second base.
QiGuJun didn't stop. After taking the southern base, they split up in two ways. According to the previous deployment, they went straight to the East-West Second Base. The frightened enemy is no match for Qi Jiajun at all. Therefore, it was defeated by Qi Jiajun and wiped out more than 65,438+10,000 people.
The Japanese who were not captured or killed in the battle finally fled to the northern base, but it was not safe here. They were afraid to do it after being ambushed by Qi Jiajun in Tieshan. Just wait for the fleeing enemies on the east, west, south and three roads.
For this reason, they don't want to insist any more, just take the troops to retreat to Xianyou, which is the solution. In this battle, Qi Jiguang defeated the enemy's army of1.5000 with 6000 men, which was a tactical victory.
What is the key to the battle of Xianyou?
Qi Jiguang really excels in defeating so many enemies. However, the details of this battle are actually more important, so what details are worthy of our attention?
(1), suspected soldier on Tieshan.
The key point of divide and rule is that the four bases, east, west, north and south, can't take care of each other, but the attack speed on the southern base is very fast and unexpected. But when attacking the second base, the enemy must have got the news.
So the coup is invalid. When Qi Jiajun attacked the East and West Second Bases, as long as the enemy in the North Bases supported either side, then Qi Jiajun could not fight this battle.
Therefore, stabilizing the northern base is the most important thing. The key to stabilizing the northern base is of course the suspected soldiers of Tieshan. Qi Jiguang transferred Hu Shouren, Jiang Boqing and others to Tieshan to observe the enemy situation in the northern base here.
In addition, 500 able-bodied soldiers were sent to sneak attack the enemy in the northern base, which caused a situation of more soldiers in Tieshan. In this way, the enemy naturally did not dare to make a move, which also bought enough time for the Qigujun to attack the east and west base areas.
(2) Logistics supply.
Many people think that Zhuge Liang is not good at using troops because he has no brilliant ideas. In fact, this is the view of scholars. Why was the first hero of the founding of the Han Dynasty not Han Xin but Xiao He? Why was the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty not Xu Da but Li Shanchang? Because logistics is the most important thing in the battle.
If the logistics work is not in place,
Soldiers' food and drinks, weapons, horses, clothes, bedding, tents, etc. Something will go wrong ahead, so that such army commanders can't win the battle, or even they will start first.
Therefore, logistics is the most critical place to fight, and it is the logistics that Zhuge Liang, Xiao He and Li Shanchang are best at. This is not a simple matter.
Qi Jiguang must also consider the logistics when fighting the battle of Xianyou. He sent 180 strong men to secretly transport ammunition, weapons and materials to Xianyou city every night. Otherwise, how can hundreds of people block the attack of more than 10 thousand people?
(3), hit the snake seven inches, cut off the enemy's retreat.
The victory or defeat of the whole war, in fact, Qi Jiguang already had a plan in his heart, so he had to arrange a big event, that is, how to clean up the mess after winning the war.
Qi Jiguang has made the following arrangements for this.
First of all, he sent a team to Huian to strengthen the defense of Huian and prevent the enemy from fleeing into Huian. Secondly, Chen Yingchao was sent to lead some troops to guard Beiling to prevent the Japanese from invading Fuzhou.
A few dozen people, a phone call to solve the encirclement; Take the truth as a surprise, and win all three wars. Since Gai moved to the southeast, there has been no such shock in military strength and no such surprise in military achievements. -Tan Lun
In addition, Fu Yingjia was sent to Lianjiang with the troops to prevent the enemy from fleeing from Lianjiang, and some naval divisions were sent to Quanzhou and Zhangzhou to prevent the enemy from going south.
This series of arrangements and deployments, before the battle of Xianyou started, Qi Jiguang made all the arrangements. I really have to admire Qi Jiguang. He is really a war genius.
What are the shortcomings of the Japanese invasion?
The enemy's strength is indeed quite a lot, which can be said to be quite shocking, but it is a mess in the arrangement of troops. It seems that this soldier is a warrior who doesn't read much. This is a drastic action. At first glance, it is 250. So what mistakes did they make?
(1), I don't understand that a besieged city is bound to fail.
The besieged city must be queer, that is, the division of besieged city in Sun Tzu's art of war must be queer. When attacking a group of enemies, whether it is positional warfare or Yugoslav capital warfare, the enemy will only have three situations:
The first choice is to surrender, the second is to fight to the death, and the third is to wait and see.
If you surround your opponent for life, he is likely to fight to the death. As long as the commander is confused, it is the result of larger foe.
Therefore, the method of using soldiers: do not go to Gaoling, do not rebel against the hills, do not pretend to be north, do not attack sharp soldiers, do not eat bait soldiers, not only return to the division, do not force the division to encircle, do not force the poor bandits. -The Art of War
But if you leave an escape gap for the other side, the enemy soldiers will quietly escape from that gap at night without waiting for the commander to say hello.
This is a very classic tactic. It can be said that when the enemy besieged Xianyou, they didn't understand what a besieged city was. They surrounded all four gates in the southeast and northwest, leaving no way for the soldiers and civilians in the city. In this case, people have to fight to the death.
(2), there is no tactical skills to siege Dayuan.
The besieged city is actually from Sun Tzu's Art of War. Its original version was to encircle Wei to save Zhao, but later generations continued this tactic.
When you surround the enemy, deliberately let one or two enemies run out of the encirclement and run out in the direction you set to look for reinforcements. Then set an ambush on the road you planned.
Once the other reinforcements pass by your ambush site, you can severely hit their reinforcements.
Generally, in the process of robbing, the awareness of prevention is very poor. Under the sudden attack, the opponent was at a loss. And in chaos, the role of the commander is almost zero, which is why the ambush always wins.
Sun Bin pretended to besiege Wei's girders, but actually set an ambush on the roadside of Guiling, waiting for Pang Juan's army to come, and then defeated Pang Juan in Guiling. This is the story of Dayuan besieged city.
The enemy surrounded Xianyou City, leaving a gap, otherwise the troops of Qigujun could not enter and leave Xianyou City. But they didn't have the concept of siege and Dayuan, just waiting for the Qigujun to gather up a little bit, but they did nothing.
(3), too obsessed with Xianyou County, I don't know how to change.
The enemy's original plan was to capture Xianyou City and then attack Fuzhou in the north. But after playing in Xianyou for more than two months, I couldn't shoot it down. They have been trapped here, and they really don't know the importance of time.
Many people have made the mistake:
Case 1: Chen Youliang besieged Hongdu.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Youliang had 600,000 troops in his hand. From Wuchang to Yingtian, Zhu Yuanzhang could be destroyed in the blink of an eye.
However, he must attack Hongdu first. Of course, he has his own considerations. He thought that he would be attacked by Hongdu soldiers if he took the sky directly, but Hongdu had 20 thousand troops. Isn't this tickling? Besides, after 85 days of fighting, Hongdu couldn't fight, and as a result, the fighter plane was delayed, which made Zhu Yuanzhang fully prepared.
Case 2: The Battle of Vienna.
The same is true of the famous battle of Vienna in the west. Ottoman Turkish troops besieged Vienna for more than two months, but failed to capture the city. As a result, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire came back with reinforcements, and Ottoman Turkey lost the possibility of entering Europe.
Case 3: Huang Taiji bypassed xifengkou.
Huang taiji in Qing dynasty was clever. Like his father Nurhachi, he always had a hard time with Yuan Chonghuan in Liaodong, and Guan Ningjin's defense was impregnable.
For this reason, Huang Taiji simply bypassed Mongolia and raided Longjingguan and Daankou, where the defense was fragile, and the army went straight to Beijing. From xifengkou through Zunhua, Jimen, Sanhe and other places, and finally arrived in Tongzhou, as Beijing at the gates. Chongzhen was frightened and immediately issued a diligent king's order, ordering all military forces to come to him. Afterwards, he also killed Yuan Chonghuan, Governor of Jilin and Liao.
(4) There is no retreat, only the possibility of annihilation.
Judging from all the arrangements in Qi Jiguang, the deployment of the attack is relatively simple. It is nothing more than attacking Nanji first, then dividing troops to attack the East and West bases, and finally attacking Beiji.
But on the issue of defending the routed troops, Qi Jiguang considered it fully. Not only Fuzhou and Lianjiang have plans, but Quanzhou and Zhangzhou also have arrangements.
But what about Japan? It's a mess There is no unified deployment at all. Being able to escape is fatal, and not being able to escape is deserved. How can such a military deployment ensure the integrity of the army?
If they can slowly but surely retreat, then Qi Jiguang's troops, no matter how strong their fighting capacity, can't stop their retreat. Unfortunately, they can't do this.
In any small battle, we can actually see the general plans of the commanders of both sides.
Qi Jiguang mercenaries can handle anything. From the logistics in the early stage to the tactics in the middle stage, and then to the ending in the later stage, Qi Jiguang has considered it.
Under the leadership of such a general, how could the Qigujun not win the battle? The key to the battle is not the charge, but the layout of troops. Once a game is done, you can do it step by step. On the contrary, like the Japanese, if you don't do well, you will lose the game.
In A.D. 1565, that is, the forty-four years of Jiajing, with the efforts of Qi Jiguang, Yu Daguan and others, the enemies along the southeast coast were basically wiped out.
