Readers, where are your red tickets and monthly tickets? Let Dayong turn Shenyang City into Shura Hell.
Soon, every flag soldier knew who had killed these bannermen who died on the river beach. Amidst the indignant curses of Mang Gurtai and his son, the flag soldiers wiped away their tears, buried their relatives, and carried them with them. The hatred that devoured everything rushed toward Shenyang. This time, their morale was more intense than that of the screaming Ming army. If it were not for the lack of time, Dayong even wanted to make a white suit for each of these flag soldiers. It seems to be more suitable for the occasion - when a relative dies, one must pay filial piety, right?
Although he was proud of his ability to turn unfavorable factors into favorable factors, Dayong couldn't help but scolded Cao Bianjiao. Cao Bianjiao was so angry that he turned around and beat Peng Sihai well. Damn it, you just care about killing people. Well, you at least took away the belongings of those bannermen. Now it’s all in the pockets of those bannermen. It’s really a waste of your work to make wedding clothes for others. Damn, it’s more than two thousand A rich bannerman, more than two thousand, and you are fucking ruining me like this.
Follow the Taizi River to the northeast and reach the top of Budali Hill. Walking a few dozen miles further north from Budali Hill is Hetuala, the hometown of the Jin people. If there is enough time and enough troops, Dayong would really like it. Make a big turn of thousands of miles, first get rid of the Jin people's lair, then go south via Fushun and approach Shenyang, and then return from Liaoyang in a big way. The advantage of doing this is that you can kill as many old, weak, women and children as possible of the Jin people. Destroy the Jin people's strongholds and fortresses, and rescue as many enslaved Han people as possible. If the scorched earth policy is implemented in place, Hong Tai will have no subjects except the main force of the Eight Banners under his command. He has lost his troops. With the support of all the slaves, the Eight Banners, no matter how powerful they are, are only at the end of their strength and cannot survive for a few days. Never in this world has water from no source been able to accumulate into big rivers and seas, and then flood and cause disasters.
Unfortunately, there was too little time, and Dayong did not have enough troops, so he could only march along the Taizi River towards the Hun River, and then follow the Hun River upstream to Shenyang. This route was also used by the Ming army in the Hun River Battle. The route of advance taken.
Along the way, except for the two teams of the Jin Army exploring horses, no living people were encountered. The villages where the bannermen had gathered in the past were also deserted and there was not a grain of food. Obviously, the Jin Army already knew that the Ming Army was heading north. And took countermeasures. Dayong believed that what he saw along the way was the legendary "fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness." This made Dayong very proud. For many years, only the Ming Dynasty had to stand firm against the Jin people to clear the country. Today, the Jin people finally took action against the Ming army. Following this tactic of "harming others but not benefiting oneself", thirty years have passed in Hedong and thirty years have passed in Hexi.
Jiang Wanli proposed that since the Jin people are trying to clear the country, we should simply help them and burn down all the villages and forts along the way to prevent them from being used by the Jin people in the future. This proposal was great, and Dayong immediately agreed, but instead of burning it now, They will be burned again when the troops withdraw. At present, these villages and forts are still useful. They can temporarily rest and recuperate in them when they retreat in the future, or they can set up military information stations to store food. If they are burned like this now, it will certainly be beneficial to the Jin people's recovery in the future. It is a thorny issue, but it is also a big trouble for the Ming army.
Two artillery units from Liaoyang, Qianhu, also arrived at Taizihe. In addition, Peng Dachui, who was ordered to hunt down bannermen in various places in southern Liaoning, also led his two thousand light cavalry and rushed towards Shenyang. The right battalion of the infantry far away in Gaizhou Under the leadership of Song Qing, they also completed the assembly and prepared to build a defense line in Gaizhou to cope with the retreat of the northward army.
In addition to accelerating immigration, the baggage camp in Jinzhou is also organizing young and strong training to prepare for emergencies. An urgent report was sent from Nanguan that the Dongjiang Army in Pidao, led by Chief Military Officer Huang Long, was attacking Lushun. If not If something unexpected happens, if Port Arthur is captured before the end of the month, then the Jinzhou Army will have one more port to retreat to.[
The stability and good news in the rear gave Dayong more confidence in seizing Shenyang. The only thing that made him feel worried was that a few snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky. Although it stopped soon, it made Dayong live out of thin air. Shadow, anxious to deal with Shenyang as soon as possible, and then retreat as quickly as possible, as far away from Shenyang City as possible
Three days later, Mang Gurtai, who was one step ahead, sent someone to send military information. He had arrived at the outskirts of Shenyang. The Jin army in the city did not send troops to attack, but held firm to the city gate.
Mang Gurtai revealed that after he arrived in Shenyang, he tried to make a surprise attack into the city, but because the defenders had failed to prepare for it, they lost dozens of flag soldiers and retreated to the current camp - the site of the Ming Army's Hunhe Battle, Hunhenan There are two hills on the shore.
According to Mang Gurtai's letter, after he retreated to the south bank, Daishan in the city sent someone to contact him, saying that as long as Mang Gurtai gave up the idea of returning to the Ming Dynasty and immediately turned around to fight with the Ming army, he would guarantee that Hong Tai After he comes back, he will not be held accountable for his conspiracy to kill the king and his defection to the Ming Dynasty. He can even join other Baylors to recommend Mang Gurtai to be the chief political Baylor again.
Of course Mang Gurtai would not believe these nonsense. He was not a fool, so how could he hand over the knife in his hand to someone else? The bullshit political leader, everyone knew that Mrs. Hong would definitely ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor after she came back. , by then even Daishan, the big Baylor, won’t be able to do it properly, and there will be nothing to blame for his recklessness of Gurtai.
What are the crimes of regicide and defection? Is there room for negotiation on this crime? Mang Gurtai can think of the answer even with his butt, not to mention that his only son Ebilun is still in the hands of the Ming army. On the surface, it is convenient for contact, but secretly Who doesn't know that this is the meaning of the hostage. As long as he, Mang Gurtai, makes the slightest move, even if he only makes some symbolic actions, he will have no descendants.
After asking the envoy about the situation of Shenyang City, Dayong convened a meeting of the generals. At the meeting, they ruled out any possibility of persuading surrender or surprise attack, and unanimously agreed to wait for the artillery to arrive and attack by force.
At the meeting, Shi Dayong ordered Cao Bianjiao to lead the Wolf Cavalry Army to move southwest of Shenyang. In addition to being on guard against the possible return of Hong Tai's main force, he was also on guard against the movements of the Jin Army in Guangning and Yizhou directions. He also ordered Peng Dachui, who was on the way, to come back. The troops moved northeast of Shenyang to prevent the Jin army in Fushun, Tieling, Hetuala and other places from reinforcing Shenyang.
The order given to the two cavalry units was that they could only move closer to Shenyang when the main force of the Hunhe Ming Army launched an attack. Before that, even if the Jinzhou Army failed to attack the city, they could not leave without authorization. This arrangement allowed Dayong to ensure that the attack was There were no accidents in the Battle of Shenyang, and it was also to ensure the vitality of the Ming army and not lose too many soldiers and horses under Shenyang City.
With 1,600 cavalry from Mang Gurtai's tribe, plus his own barracks, Dayong is not worried that the Jin army in Shenyang City will take the initiative to go out of the city to fight in the field. After all, Wu Heyin and Mang Gurtai are sure that there are not many soldiers in Shenyang City. , Dai Shan could only scrape together less than a thousand armored soldiers despite his desperate efforts, and the rest could only be unarmored banner men. Neither their military strength nor their combat effectiveness attracted Dayong's attention.
Against the main force of the Hongtai Eight Banners, Dayong lacked confidence and was confident that he could not win. However, if he could not defeat Daishan's thousands of people, Dayong might as well wipe his neck with a knife to avoid being embarrassed. Since the Southern and Northern War, the Jinzhou Army The combat effectiveness of the army has been greatly improved compared to the Dengzhou adaptation. Especially the battle across Liaonan has made the whole army morale high. Coupled with the strong firepower, the outcome of this battle will definitely be won. Now it depends on how many people will die. .
The weather is what Dayong really has to worry about.
On the 15th, the Jinzhou Army arrived at the south bank of the Hun River, and the Battle of Shenyang officially began.
