Time flies forever, and the battle of Hetuala lasted for more than a month. Yang Huaidun was helpless under the fortified city.
Tong Yangjia, the governor of Liaodong, found him and said, "Mr. Yang, our army has been attacking a fortified city for a long time. Changes are likely to occur over time. We should make other plans."
"Oh, what's Mr. Tong's clever plan?"
"It is believed that Hetuala is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is useless to attack for a long time. It is better to encircle without attacking and go west to capture Liaoyang and Shenyang."
Yang Huai nodded repeatedly, "What Governor Xian said coincides with mine!"
Then he ordered Li Rubi, the commander-in-chief of the Xibo Dynasty, to lead 20,000 troops to monitor Hetuala, and then led more than 20,000 troops to set off for Liaoyang.
At that time, Nurhachi captured Liaoyang and summoned all the Baylor ministers to ask: "God has favored me and granted Liaoyang. Will you move to this city now, or will you return it to our country?" When he said this, he had actually decided to transfer the capital to Hetu.
Ala moved to Liaoyang. As a result, all the ministers of Baylor said that it would be better to return to Hetu Ala. Nurhaci said: "The most important thing for the country is the land and the people. If we return to the army now, the enemy will return to the city of Liaoyang, and we will hold it firmly. The surrounding area
The people must flee into the valley and no longer belong to me! If you give up the territory you have gained and return it, you will have to go through the trouble of conquering it later, which is not a gain. Moreover, this place is a key area bordering Ming Dynasty, Korea, and Mongolia. Since heaven and
"I am a livable place." Leng moved the capital to Liaoyang under pressure.
Since this city is the Tokyo of Manchuria, it naturally has soldiers.
In the Qing Dynasty, Mele Zhangjing Ukuli urgently called Mele Zhangjing Fo Nile, Deng Guangming, and Fengzhi doctor Cao Zhenyan to discuss.
"The Ming army is approaching Liaoyang, how can you teach me?" Wu Kuli stared at Fornile, Deng Guangming and Cao Zhenyan with dazzling eyes.
"There are still seven thousand Manchu, Mongolian and Han banners in the city, and we are willing to fight to the death with Zhang Jing," Fonile, a Manchu, immediately shouted.
"The last general is willing to obey the general's orders." Deng Guangming also entered the flag and then expressed his position.
Among them all, Cao Zhenyan had the lowest status. Although he joined the banner, he was worshiped as a senior official in Fengzhi, and was an assistant leader of the Han army in Zhengbai Banner, but his status was just that of a domestic slave.
After Cao Bin, the famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, Cao Zhenyan's father, Cao Xiyuan, served as the commander of the Shenyang Central Guard in the Ming Dynasty. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he was incorporated into the Zhengbai Banner and became Dorgon's slave. Later, he followed Azig to suppress Jiang Xiang's uprising and massacre
He came to Datong City. Due to his meritorious service, he was promoted step by step to the official position of Fengzhi, and his son Cao Xi was also promoted to the second-class bodyguard. Later, Dorgon was unlucky, and the Zhengbai Banner became one of the top three banners personally controlled by Emperor Shunzhi.
, Cao Zhenyan became a confidant of Emperor Shunzhi again.
"Zhang Jing, I think we should quickly recruit all the young people in the city to defend the city."
Wu Kuli nodded and quickly recruited 6,000 strong men and handed them over to Cao Zhenyan to stay in Liaoyang. He led 7,000 Mongolian and Han Eight Banners troops out of the city to fight.
??
Ruan Jin, the vanguard of the Ming army, arrived outside the south city of Liaoyang.
Ukuli took advantage of the fact that the main force of the Ming army had not yet arrived, and led Melezhangjingfenile and Deng Guangming out of the south city for five miles, set up camp and stormed the Ming army.
The Qing army had 4,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry, while the Ming army had only 3,500 cavalry. Facing an enemy twice as many as itself, it suffered heavy casualties.
Ruan Jin knew in his heart that the outcome of the first battle would directly affect Liaoyang's ownership. He told the generals: "If you dare to take a step back, unless I die, you must kill me first and then retreat."
After saying that, the horse entered alone.
Seeing that the general was so brave, his subordinates felt like there was a fire burning in their chests, and they all followed closely. Fuleh led the army forward bravely, rode towards the enemy, charged hard, and attacked the left wing of the Qing army. Although his surname was Aisin Gioro
, killed the Qing army, but more ruthlessly than others.
The enemy on the left is the 2,080-banner Han army of Mele Zhangjing and Deng Guangming, whose combat power is not as good as the Eight Manchu and Mongolian Banners in the center and right wing.
"Set off the firecrackers," Deng Guangming shouted.
The Qing army quickly fired their cannons, and after only one round of fire, Fulehe led 800 cavalry and rushed into the formation.
Deng Guangming's army was in chaos and had to retreat. The failure of the left wing affected the Qing army's offensive, and the two sides were in a stalemate.
An hour later, Chen Zebu of the Ming Army arrived, crossed the Taizi River, and attacked Ruan Jin from both sides, and Wu Kuli began to retreat.
The next day, Ruan Jin and Chen Ze stormed the Qing army camp. The two sides fought fiercely and the situation was stalemate.
That night, the Ming army camped seven miles south of the city.
On the third day, Yang Huai personally led the main force to arrive. The banners covered the sun, and the mountains and plains were vast, unpredictable.
Looking at the endless Ming army that was slowly crossing the Taizi River, Wu Kuli gritted his teeth and growled: "Retreat, go back to the city!"
??
Liaoyang City is an ancient city built on the ancient city of the Yuan Dynasty. It is divided into two cities, the north and the south. The two cities are connected in the shape of a "sun". It covers fourteen miles on a Tuesday, of which the south city has a circumference of sixteen miles and the north city eight miles. The Taizi River flows from the south of the city.
It flows northward outside the east wall, well protecting Tokyo, which is full of people.
Yang Huai saw that the two gates of Pingyi and Guangshun on the east side of Nancheng were protected by the Taizi River, but because they were washed away by the water during high water, the wall foundations were not as strong as the other gates, so he set up camp outside the east gate and built ten forts.
There are two layers of gun array, firing continuously at the city head.
Under the cover of cannons and cannons, Gu Zhong's troops of the Ming army crossed the trench from outside and marched in with a loud shout.
Tong Yangjia and Chen Ze led the army to attack the remaining four gates of the south city, and Ruan attacked the three gates of the north city.
Yang Huai personally supervised the battle at the east gate of Nancheng. A row of supervising troops composed of personal soldiers were full of murderous intent. Anyone who retreated without orders would be stabbed.
Gu Zhong quickly built dozens of pontoon bridges on the trenches. Under the cover of the carriages, the infantry were in front, the archers and gunmen were behind, and they reached Pingyi and Guangshun Gate.
On the corner tower of the east gate, Cao Zhenyan saw that the Ming army was approaching with great ferocity, so he no longer hid his strength and ordered the artillery fire.
This man is a master of artillery and once served as an artillery instructor for the Manchus. As the capital of the Qing Dynasty, Liaoyang naturally had artillery on the city walls. There were more than 20 large and small artillery pieces in the east city. When the Ming army built a pontoon bridge to cross the trench, he
Deliberately hiding their strength and not firing a single shot, they just waited until the intensive attack on the city before firing.
The artillery fired continuously. The Ming army did not expect the Qing army to have artillery, resulting in heavy casualties and a loss of morale.
Gu Zhong became popular. The great pirate "Henggang Gu San" of that time did not accept this arrogance, so he drew his sword and tried his best.
"Woo~woo~woo~"
But the horn of retreat sounded, and he had no choice but to retreat. He came to see Yang Huai angrily, "Commander, the Tatars are very cunning, and the last general is about to kill them to avenge their hatred. Why do you want to withdraw your troops?"
Yang Huai smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the Tatars actually have artillery. There is no need to brave the artillery fire to attack hard. Tomorrow I will bring in more artillery from other gates to fight with the Tatars. If you don't understand your hatred, you can lead your troops to steal it at night.
Let’s try it in the city”.
"Tonight we will let the Tatars know how powerful our army is." Gu Zhong took the order and returned to the camp to rest.
"Father, the Ming army has withdrawn." Cao Xi happily climbed up the corner tower to see Cao Zhenyan.
However, Cao Zhenyan looked solemn and said, "We must prevent the Ming army from stealing the city. Tonight I will guard the Pingyi Gate and you will guard the Guangshun Gate."
At night, Gu Zhong led 800 elite men, carrying ladders, to sneak to the east city for a sneak attack. Suddenly, bullets rained down, arrows flew, and a large number of Qing troops holding torches appeared on the city wall. They stole chickens but lost a handful of rice, and lost three pieces of rice.
Hundreds of Elite Soldiers.
"I'm going to skin you dog Tartars when they come to the city." Gu Zhong was so angry that he jumped to his feet and returned to the camp angrily.
The next day, Yang Huaiduo deployed his artillery to fight against the Qing army. The Ming army had more artillery and gradually suppressed the Qing army's artillery fire and gained the upper hand.
