Chapter 297 The situation of the war deteriorates

After the fierce battle, Kaiyuan's troops retreated voluntarily and retreated to Kaiyuan before the Jianlu troops returned to the aid.

Ma Cheng got angry and drew his sword and slashed the table. The good situation was ruined. How could Sun Chengzong be so stupid? He still didn't remember and thought about counterattacking Chenyang. Another crushing defeat was. The inertia of history is so strong, this is almost A replica of the devastating defeat in western Liaoning will come after all. After killing Wang Huazhen, there is still a devastating defeat. Even the location is in the Liaohe River, which is exactly the same as the history of later generations.

Fortunately, Kaiyuan's troops did not suffer a great loss. The second brother Ma Yi retreated in time, so he was not entangled by the main force of Zhenghuang Banner in Fushun City. Removing half a step later would be a disaster. This is simply a reenactment of the Battle of Sarhu. The barbarians had the advantage of inside combat and relying on their powerful maneuverability, they first came out in the Liaohe River to defeat the Ming army in Jinning, and then returned to Fushun overnight to fight against the Kaiyuan army. I believe Qi Jin could not get any advantage in Liaoyang.

The powerful cavalry group was fighting inside, and gave another tactical lesson to the Ming monarchs and ministers, but the price was the destruction of the 100,000 army in Jinzhou. Forced himself to calm down, and had to admit that Sun Chengzong did not do anything wrong, Jianlu's main force of the 100,000 army They were all in Mongolia, and it was the right choice to take the opportunity to leave Jinzhou and cross the Liaohe River to counterattack Chenyang. However, they did not expect that Jianlu would dare to come out for a blitzkrieg in Fushun and Jianzhou's hometown.

Jianlu only had so many troops. He drove all the troops in Fushun and Jianzhou's old nests, and about 30,000 to 40,000 cavalry involved in the blitzkri attack on the Liaohe River. This was a gambling but was won by Huang Taiji. Liaohe was defeated in disastrously and opened. Although the original soldiers and horses made the most correct response, they still had no choice but to use the powerful mobility of the cavalry. They had already hit the city of Fushun and almost took the empty city of Fushun, but they still returned in vain.

Sun Chengzong was defeated in this battle, which exceeded his ability. Ma Cheng asked himself that even if he was in person, the possibility of a crushing defeat was extremely high. There were too many places where he could ambush along the way from Jinzhou to Chenyang, mainly infantry soldiers. The Ming army had no chance of winning. The most important thing was that the Liao River cut off its retreat. Once the Ming army crossed the Liao River, it was suddenly ambushed by tens of thousands of cavalry. It would be difficult to retreat again, just like the eight flags of the Han army a few days ago. Embarrassment on the grassland.

The Ming army was defeated after leaving Jinzhou City. He calmed down and summoned the military to discuss. All the generals were stunned and thought it was a joke made by the general.

Ma Cheng rubbed his painful forehead and forced himself to remain calm, analyzing the bad situation after the battle.

Shanhaiguan still has less than 100,000 troops, but it cannot move no matter what. If Jianlu is another act, it would be too stupid to rush to Shanhaiguan for thousands of miles. Qi Jin was fine all the way, so he would not attack Liaoyang in large numbers. The worst case is to retreat into the mountains to hide and seek, and there is no danger of being wiped out. The general trend is irreversible. Jianlu is now at its peak, and the consequences of going against the trend are to be defeated. Jinning's front-line portal is opened. The Ming and Meng coalition forces in Baicheng were defending the death. It was this grassland war that made Sun Chengzong make a wrong judgment and think that the time was for a counterattack on Chenyang.

Sun Chengzong may have some strategic talents, but he is not a qualified commander. He miscalculated his strength of the enemy and us. The 100,000 Ming army soldiers could barely have 60,000 to 70,000. In the marching state, he was ambushed and defeated by 30,000 to 40,000 Jianlu cavalry. It is inevitable that Sun Chengzong's troops were newly recruited, but they were far inferior to the Ming army in the Battle of Sarhu that year. It was expected that the enemy was unknown and lacked practical experience, which eventually led to this disastrous defeat.

The next day, the eight banners of the Han army, with great morale, and the eight banners of the Mongolian army jointly launched an attack on the city.

When Baicheng was at its most critical moment, even the Ming army in the city had to take off its horse and fight back, and the large Han army that had once rushed into the city. The offensive and defensive battle lasted for a day, and almost half of the 50,000 Han army were completely damaged.

The Eight Banners of Mongolia were slightly better, but they were also seriously injured. The Ming and Mongolian coalition forces were not much better. Lin Danhan's five thousand king tent soldiers were killed more than 2,000, and even the 10,000 Ming troops were injured and 30% were killed. Both sides reached the end of their lives.

Ironically, the masters of the Manchu Eight Banners of the Han army were only concerned about looting everywhere and completely ignored the corpses of the slaves.

In the next few days, the semi-remnant Han Eight Banners and the Meng Eight Banners, which had heavy casualties, did not launch another attack on the city.

Seeing that the remnants outside the city refused to retreat, Ma Cheng suddenly felt alert and sweated coldly, thinking of an extremely terrible possibility.

Dorgon, a reckless man who was coveting the Ming Dynasty, could do everything. That night, Lin Danhan gathered troops to attack the camp, while Ma Cheng led the elite cavalry to escape from the battlefield while taking advantage of the chaos and rushed towards the Great Wall.

The Jianlu could not stop him along the way, so he could only watch the two thousand iron cavalry heading towards Shanxi.

The Governor General of Xuanda, Yanghe, Shanxi.

Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry, who had escaped from the battlefield, was extremely tired as if she had escaped from the sky. Governor of Xuanda Wang Guozhen personally welcomed him and welcomed two thousand Iron Cavalry back to Yanghe for rest. However, Ma Cheng was eager to secretly spies with the king and Gong, asking Xuanda to release the scout cavalry to look for it.

The movements of Jianlu's large-scale cavalry. Under Baicheng City, the main force of the enclosed white flag and Zhengbai Banner has disappeared for many days. It is not ruled out that Dorgon won his youth and was able to lead his troops to plunder in the heart of the Ming Dynasty.

This is something that has happened in history and is also a chain reaction, so I have to be careful.

The Battle of Baicheng misled Sun Chengzong, which directly led to the crushing defeat of Liaohe. The remnants of Shanhaiguan were unable to go out to fight. Lin Danhan's subordinates fought against the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Mongolian Army and the Eight Banners of the Han Army. In a short time, the long border from Jinzhou to Shanxi was opened.

There is no more field force that can restrain Dorgon, who has a big appetite. It is very likely that Dorgon's arrogance will take advantage of the opportunity to plunder Mongolia and lead his troops across the Great Wall and go deep into the Ming Dynasty's hinterland to plunder.

The Zhenglan Banner and the Inlaid White Banner are very likely to take the capital directly. Shanxi is also the fat meat that Dorgon is most likely to be guarded by, and Shanxi is still unprepared. Wang Guozhen was shocked and dared not

It took time for Dorgon and Jirgalang to lead the two flags of troops across Gubeikou.

Once he broke into the hinterland of Daming, he was like a hungry wolf breaking into the sheep pen.

Wang Guozhen had to bite the bullet and gather his troops, and he had to worry that the soldiers and horses from all over the country were attacked by the captive cavalry during the march. If he dragged them down, the soldiers and horses in Shanxi would be blocked at the base. I am afraid that they would not even be able to gather troops. It was so critical.

Ma Cheng felt a little guilty. After all, he did not block Jianlu on the grassland. After all, he allowed Jianlu to cross the Great Wall and break through the pass. As a general of Liao Town, he felt guilty. This was the dereliction of duty of the general of Liao Town.

Wang Guozhen also comforted him with kind words: "My nephew has done a great job. My Shanxi soldiers are not soft persimmons, and there is still a battle to fight."
