Chapter 549 The eve of the decisive battle

The order to shrink the outlying strongholds and concentrate troops was actually not the opinion of Prince Zheng Jierhalang, but the will of Emperor Huang Taiji. ◎ Vertex Fiction,

On the huge battlefield of Songshan, Jinzhou, Tashan, and Guangning, Huang Taiji and Dorgon were the ones under the greatest pressure.It goes without saying that Dorgon has to face Li Huamei's crazy attacks every day, and after many days, the combat effectiveness, military discipline, tactical level (infantry coordination, soil work) of the Guanning Army, etc. It's getting better and better, and it's getting harder and harder to deal with.

But compared to Huang Taiji, Dorgon faced much less pressure.

Although Li Huamei's artillery fire was unmatched, no matter how crazy the Guan Ning army's attack was, it was still Dorgon's face-to-face enemy. At least he didn't have to worry about the enemies in the front, back, left, and right.But Huang Taiji is different.

As a commander-in-chief, Huang Taiji must consider everything.

The current Liaodong battlefield is turbulent and turbulent. If there is a little carelessness, any convenience in the Ming and Qing Dynasties will end in defeat and death.However, the Ming army was defeated, and the big deal was to rely on the Shanhaiguan line of defense and let the Qing army enter and plunder.If the Qing army is defeated, can they still return to the old city of Hetuala?

But the difference between Huang Taiji and Dorgon is that Dorgon can be kind to his subordinates and consolidate the morale of the army for his own use.Even if Tashan couldn't hold it anymore and was broken through by Li Huamei's army, as long as he had the strength of the two white flags, Huang Taiji couldn't do anything to him.But if Huang Taiji can't fight this battle well, it doesn't mean that the army will chase after him, I'm afraid that the Qing army will be torn apart immediately, and several powerful banner owners, including those who belong to the Mongols, will have different ideas.At that time, it is a question whether Huang Taiji can keep Liuyang Quebec around his neck.

Looking at the map, the huge West Liao Corridor, the troops of the Ming and Qing Dynasties are intertwined.Surrounded and surrounded, blocking and attacking, the situation is extremely complicated.But in general, it is divided into three local battlefields.One is Guangning, which Huang Taiji personally led to attack, against nearly 10 horses under Hong Chengchou's Hongdu division.The other is the Tashan outskirts of Jinzhou, where the Dorgon brothers were in charge of the aid and blocking battlefield. They dealt with Li Huamei, a crazy woman and tigress who gave Ming and Qing generals a headache.But it is different from these two battlefields where artillery fire is constantly clashing every day.Jinzhou, another battlefield, was quite peaceful.The tens of thousands of people led by the Zu Dashou brothers in the city will not attack, just live in the city safely, no matter how Jierhalang outside the city is full of tricks, as long as you don't attack the city or do something related to the siege, we will be did not see it.

Li Huamei's attack was tight, and Dorgon's daily battle report was full of complaints, but it also faithfully reflected the situation of the former enemy.The artillery shells and rockets of the Ming army were intertwined, and they were thrown on the battlefield like money.The blocking forces dominated by the two white flags lost at least hundreds of people every day.

However, the sudden action of Wu Biao's army, which had suffered a lot from the Eight Banners of Manchuria, made Huang Taiji decide to take a risk.

This risk is to shrink the troops on the outskirts of Jinzhou, abandon unnecessary and unimportant strongholds, reduce the troops guarding the outskirts, save precious troops, and put them into the Guangning battlefield. So what if Wu Biao made such great military exploits as to break through the siege of Jinzhou?"

A decree came down.Not only villages like Xiwangbao withdrew their troops, but Prince Zheng Jierhalang, the owner of the Xianglan Banner, also received a secret decree.If necessary, you can let go of a hole and let Wu Biao enter Jinzhou.

Based on Huang Taiji's understanding of Zu Dashou and his subordinates guarding Jinzhou, I am afraid that Wu Biao's troops entered Jinzhou and opened up the connection between Jinzhou and Ningyuan. Stick to the city.Absolutely will not overstep the threshold.

Guangning won, we have the credit for sticking to Jinzhou, Guangning was defeated, we also have the credit for sticking to Jinzhou, and this credit followed Guangning's defeat.will get even bigger.

That's why Huang Taiji dared to take this risk. When Wu Biao's elite came to help, he withdrew most of the troops from Jinzhou's siege, leaving a small number of troops in Jinzhou's original long trench fortifications, using the original flags and designations to pretend to be The main force is used to confuse and monitor the Ming army.

Guangning City is a complete acropolis, with strong walls, surrounded by golden soup, neat houses and high-spirited twin towers.In the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, Guangning Mansion was established, and Guangning Guard was established in the Ming Dynasty. It was Liaodong Town, one of the important towns on the nine borders, and a general guard was set up.Guangning City was built in the early Ming Dynasty.As the military and political center of the Liaodong area at that time, the city was high and deep, more than two feet high, and several feet thick. The city wall was made of red sandstone and brick flags unique to Liaoxi. wall.In front of the Drum Tower in the city, there is a memorial archway built in the eighth year of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty to commend the achievements of Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong.

At this time, under the majestic city, there are bloodstains everywhere, not far from the city, full of destroyed chariots and long ladders.The green brick city walls are covered with scars, and many offensive and defensive instruments made of wood are still emitting green smoke and beating tiny flames in the wide area under the city walls.It turned out that the sporadic residents around the city had either fled into the city or disappeared due to the spread of the war.

In the area a little farther from the battlefield, countless shallow trenches and deep trenches were dug along the trend of the city wall, and countless earth walls were rammed with the excavated soil.

These moats with earthen walls increase or decrease with the change of terrain. Generally speaking, there are more broad and gentle places, and fewer narrow and steep places. They are generally two ditches and three walls.Gun emplacements were also built on both sides of some roads to defend against the Ming army's breakout.

The so-called two ditches and three walls are two ditches in front of one wall, and each wall is less than two hundred steps away from each other, which is convenient for mutual support.The earth walls built with local materials are made of rammed earth, stones, and felled wood. Although they are rough and ugly, they can be used to attack and defend each other in this freezing weather. The bottom was built into a long trench with several roads in depth and tens of miles in circumference. Huang Taiji's ability to control his subordinates can be seen from the importance that the Qing army attached to this battle.

However, soil work is considered a basic skill for the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners.From the beginning of Nurhachi's rebellion, marching and hunting, erecting fences in winter and digging trenches in summer, it can be said that he has great experience in digging trenches.In this Battle of Western Liaoning, facing the threat of several 32-pound heavy artillery at the head of Guangning City, their trench-digging skills were brought into full play.

Yiwulu Mountain not far from Guangning City.From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, there are various flags of the Qing army, and densely packed camps are stationed along the foot of the mountain.Around the Five Buddha Temple at the southern foot of the mountain, the security is even more heavily guarded.Looking around, there are banners all over the place, Diao Dou is passed on, and people are called Ma Neigh.Dense tents.The stockade seems to cover the entire mountain range.

At this time, the Wufo Temple was where Huang Taiji was staying, surrounded by his Kabush Xianchao Ha battalion soldiers and horses as guards.

The original Maitreya Hall was slightly repaired and became the emperor's palace.Several braziers were lit in front of the potbellied Maitreya statue, instantly warming the originally cold hall.

When Kapushin Gala Angbang Ubai entered the main hall, he was also a little dizzy from the steam coming from his face.He stole a glance at Huang Taiji, who was sitting behind the table case with frowning, flipping through "The Art of War" and the thick stacks of books on the table case.Although he couldn't understand those books such as "Historical Records", "Hongwu Baoxun", "Dagao" and "Huangming Jingshiwenbian" that were compiled or purchased through merchants, the white paper, neat and clear fonts, It looks like it's endearing.However, many generals and nobles of the Qing army bought some to save face at home. Who made the emperor like reading Han books?

"My lord, Tulai has returned from Jinzhou."

This Tulai is not the one who became a first-class prince because he had a good daughter who married into the wild boar skin family, gave birth to a pockmarked son and became the emperor.Later, there was Tong Tulai, also known as Tong Banchao.It was Tulai, the seventh son of Fei Yingdong who was the first to follow Nurhachi in his army.At this time, Tulai was the first-class Ashani Hafan (baron).He belongs to the Zhenghuang Banner with his elder brother Nagai and younger brother Su Wanyan.He can be regarded as a capable general in Huang Taiji's direct lineage.

Needless to say, this person's military exploits outside the customs are suspected of making up the number of words. Just talking about a few things about him after entering the customs can show his bravery and skill in fighting: chasing and killing Mingfu King Zhu Yousong to Wuhu, killing Huang Degong , captured King Fu, and destroyed the Hongguang regime.Grant this banner Gushan Ezhen.Seal first-class public.From Boluo, he marched into Zhejiang and Fujian, defeated the king of Lu in the Ming Dynasty, and captured Zhu Yuzhao, the king of Tang in the Ming Dynasty.The downfall of several regimes in Nanming was directly related to him, which shows his combat effectiveness.

"Call him in."

Putting down the book in his hand, Huang Taiji can just relieve the boredom in his heart.

Tulai took a peek at Huang Taiji's description.Huang Taiji, who was originally black and fat, is still black, but he is no longer fat, and the fat on his face has become extremely loose.There is a black circle around the eye socket, and the eyes are bloodshot.It completely verified the situation that Wu Bai had quietly introduced to him just now, the master has been worrying about the war recently, and he is very angry, so be careful!

"Have you finished your mission in Jinzhou?"

Tulai took off his hat and kowtowed to Huang Taiji in salute. Huang Taiji's eyes passed through his shaven head, staring blankly at the gate of the palace, and asked Tulai coldly.

The so-called Jinzhou errands are two things that Huang Taiji entrusted to Tulai.One is to supervise Jierhalang to secretly transfer most of the soldiers and horses of Xianglan Banner back to Guangning, and put them into the battle against Hong Chengchou.Dorgon didn't even come to the battle report for the past few days, which shows the tension of the battle ahead.Although Huang Taiji still has dozens of Niulu elite soldiers from the two yellow flags and the Zhenglan flag who have never entered the battle, they are considered the last trump card in his hand; however, no commander will refuse to have more soldiers and horses in the decisive battle.

Time and troops are the most critical factors on the battlefield for a commander.Students who find it difficult to understand for a while can go to Waterloo and refer to the huge impact of the Jiawang Uprising organized by Zhang Kexia and He Jifeng on the Huaihai Campaign.

The second thing is to meet the Mongolian soldiers in Jinzhou City!

There are thousands of Mongolian soldiers in Jinzhou City under the command of Zu Dashou. The leaders Wu Bashi and Nomuqi sent people through secret channels to pay for their sincerity, willing to submit to the Qing Emperor and donate Jinzhou City.Huang Taiji sent Tu Lai to lead the six Niulu of the two yellow flags to Jinzhou, and half of the work was to handle this matter.It would be best if Wu Bashi and Nuo Muqi could break through the barriers and sacrifice the city defense. If not, they would take advantage of the situation to take advantage of the opportunity to take the two of them out of the city and further attack the strength and morale of the Ming army.Even if the matter is not confidential and the two were killed by Zu Dashou, this matter could become a smoke bomb to cover the retreat of the Qing army, making the Ming army afraid to leave the city after the sudden change.

After hearing Huang Taiji's questioning, Tulai pressed his forehead tightly to the cold ground, not daring to breathe out.

"You slave, why don't you speak!"

Huang Taiji was originally grumpy, and with the stalemate in the war, his personality was even more perverse. Seeing that Tulai didn't speak, he knew that things were not good.In a rage, he even threw the sorghum rice ball in his hand, hitting Tulai on the top of his head.Sorghum Misa is everywhere.

"The slave is guilty! The slave is guilty! The master's assignment, the slave has only completed half of it, and the other half has failed!"

Prince Zheng Jierhalang's troops had already chosen a place to camp near Yiwulu Mountain, and Huang Taiji had already been informed of this.With the return of more than 1 elite soldiers.Huang Taiji felt more at ease.

"Wu Bashi and Nuo Muqi are deceitful?"

Huang Taiji, who is familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, is also very familiar with the trick of using the name of the general to lure the enemy into the city to annihilate them. Their father and son have used similar tricks many times to lure the Ming army to go deep.

"Wu Bashi and Nuomu Qi did not keep secrets, and they were found out for Zu Dashou. Zu Dashou used an excuse to have a banquet, and ordered Zu Dale, Zu Dabi and others to kill them suddenly. More than a hundred guards of the two men were beheaded together. Afterwards, behind closed doors, they forcibly took away their armor and horses and scattered them into various ministries. Afterwards, they even sent the dead men to pretend to be messengers, and agreed on a date to leave the city. The servant and Prince Zheng had a moment Inadvertently, I fell into the trick of Zu Dashou."

"How much is the loss of soldiers and horses?!"

After listening to Zu Dashou's plan.Huang Taiji's heart trembled and his liver ached.If thousands of Mongolian soldiers who thought they were going out of the city to surrender suddenly became the picks of the Ming army, the damage to the Qing army would be huge.

"The loss of soldiers and horses is not big, only more than a hundred people. However, when the servants and others fought against Zu Dashou and others who pretended to be Mongolian soldiers and went out of the city, it happened that the soldiers and horses of the Model Brigade of the Ming Dynasty, Shanxi Town, and Datong Town arrived in Jinzhou. He was attacked by the enemy for a while, and he rushed into the city, and another long trench was filled by the Ming army. Now, the road from Ningyuan to Jinzhou has been opened by the Ming army!"

The original internal response turned out to be the vanguard of the enemy.Inadvertently helping the Ming army to cooperate internally and externally, opened up the connection between Jinzhou and the outside world, and allowed the most powerful model brigade and other units of the Ming army to rush into Jinzhou City.Although this was originally Huang Taiji's plan, but it came so suddenly that he was a little overwhelmed, and his eyes went dark.The fat body managed to avoid falling to the ground.

Things have been rough for him lately.

A few days ago, I received a report from Shengjing that the Saurons in Heilongjiang, taking advantage of the army going south to fight the Ming army, launched a large-scale attack from the mountains and forests and harassed the villages that belonged to the Qing Dynasty. The Hezhe people and the Sauron people were the sources of preparations for the dead soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.Either turn their guns and become the enemy of the Qing Dynasty, attack and harass their neighbors together with the Sauron barbarians, and seize their hunting grounds and property, horses, furs and even iron pots.Either be beheaded by the incomparably tough Saurons, plunder women, children and children, and turn the villages that originally belonged to the Qing Dynasty into their sphere of influence.

"This group of savages is a good opportunity to choose!"

Hearing the news of being stabbed in the back, and the loss of more than a thousand soldiers and horses, the countless things about Sauron Dingzhuang almost made Huang Taiji spit out blood in a rage. In front of him were tens of thousands of soldiers from the Ming army. , or according to the stronghold of the city, it will not surrender.Or relying on gunfire and sharp weapons to attack continuously, but being harassed, looted and burned by these Sauron barbarians behind his back, when did the Qing Dynasty come to such a field? !

"This group of damn barbarians, when I finish fighting the southern barbarians, I will send back troops and go north to Heilongjiang to deal with them!" Qiangzi suppressed his anger, and kept telling himself to focus on the overall situation in front of him. No matter how fierce they were in Heilongjiang, after all the roads were far away, at most they challenged the Qing emperor's authority in this area, but it didn't have much impact for a while.If the current battle is defeated, I am afraid that all Mongols and Koreans will swarm up and strangle Daqing to death on the sickbed of the wounded!

Thinking of the Koreans that day, Huang Taiji, who was eating sorghum rice balls, couldn't help but shine.There is a shortage of food in the army, it is better to ask North Korea to offer at least 20 stone grains and rice for use in the army.It is said that North Korea has traded with Nanban and Dongying in the past few years, and the country is quite prosperous. The families of the two groups of ministers and ministers are all very rich. If they are not allowed to donate money to help them, when will it be?

The prince of Joseon, who had gone to Shengjing to serve as a hostage there, wrote a letter to his middle school to ask for food and grass. I thought that after a while, when the weather in western Liaoning became colder, it would be the time for the Qing soldiers to display their prestige. I arrived, but I didn't want the enemy's muzzle to be on my back again.

After a long while, Huang Taiji finally got over his breath, and called out Tulai who had been kneeling on the ground for a long time with a voice as dry as sandpaper.

"What happened in Jinzhou this time is not your fault. It's because I didn't expect the enemy well. I never thought that Wu Biao's movements are so fast that he can almost compare with my Qing soldiers! You Go down first! I am bored and a little tired, I need to rest for a while."

Hearing that the emperor did not hold him accountable for the crime of screwing up his mission, Tulai was also quietly relieved, but he was shocked when he heard Huang Taiji's words. Looking at Huang Taiji's expression, he suddenly remembered something.

"Master, I have forgotten something. When the leader of the slave came back from Jinzhou, someone came to the army with the banner issued by the Qing Dynasty to the company and asked to come with him. The leader said that he was an old friend of the master. What else did he say? If the master sees him, he won't punish the slave."

When Huang Taiji, who was dubious, saw the person led by Tu Lai, he couldn't help being furious, and kicked him in the air.

"You slave, why are you so presumptuous, delaying major events with those trivial things!" (To be continued...)
