However, when hundreds of thousands of troops entered the city, it was not something that his 20,000 could hold. In the end, only a dozen of Jilhalang's 20,000 defenders were killed, and he himself was captured alive.
Lin Fan saw Jierhalang, whose flesh and blood had been chopped to pieces and was lying on the ground shaking, and asked the people around him: "Is this person the guard general of Jiannu in the city?"
"Replying to your lord, we have found out the information about this person. He is Jierhalang, Prince Heshuo Zheng who established the slaves!"
Jin Yiwei stepped forward to report.
"Well! Is this person Jierhalang?
I have followed Huang Taiji in many battles in the north and south, but I didn’t expect to be captured by me here!”
Lin Fan said with some sigh.
"Haha! I didn't expect that I, a hero, would be caught by a fledgling boy like you. What a pity! I don't have many soldiers in my hands!"
"If I had 100,000 people in my hands, I would definitely kill you all! Even if you capture me alive, don't even think about humiliating me!"
Jierhalang said coldly, his voice full of tragedy.
Lin Fan looked at Ji'er Harang, with only contempt in his eyes, and said: "Old Ji, I originally wanted to give you a happy life, but since you are so ignorant, I will castrate you."
"By the way, let me tell you that the target of people like me is Shengjing, and your wife and daughter should be among them. When the time comes, I will let you know what it means to do the same thing in return!"
After saying that, Lin Fan asked the Jinyi Guards to kill the rest of the people, but imprisoned Jierhalang, and the Xuanjia Army began to count the armaments above the city gate!
Although there were not many defenders in Guangning City, they had plenty of food and weapons. The soldiers had a hearty meal here and began to repair.
Early the next morning, Zhu Cijiong came to Lin Fan and said, "Sir, we just occupied this place. I believe Dorgon doesn't know the news yet. Why don't we take advantage of the situation to pursue and capture Shengjing?"
Lin Fan looked at Zhu Cijiong and said, "Do you think those Jiannu slaves are all fools?
It's normal for them not to know that we captured Jinzhou City, but this is Guangning."
"This is one of Shengjing's two front teeth. They communicate in a special way every day. We don't know. Shengjing must have noticed it."
"If we attack Shengjing at this time, it would be a good thing if we can capture it in one fell swoop, but what if we cannot capture it?
What do you think will happen in Shengjing and Liaoyang?"
this……
Zhu Cijiong was immediately speechless. If they could successfully capture Shengjing, everything would be easy. If they could not capture it, someone from Liaoyang would definitely come to reinforce them.
"Sir, what should we do next?
Could it be that you have been keeping watch here?"
Zhu Cijiong asked.
"Of course we can't keep guard all the time. Now that we have captured Guangning, we must not allow the Jian slaves to continue to occupy Shengjing and Liaoyang!"
"Since Jiannu knows what is going on here and will make preparations, let the soldiers prepare for it for a few days!"
"The garrison of Guangning is only 20,000, so the garrison of Liaoyang will definitely be no more than 50,000. The day after tomorrow, I will send 100,000 to attack Liaoyang!"
"At that time, Dorgon will definitely reinforce Liaoyang. He will even feel that Guangning is empty and send people to sneak attack Guangning. At that time, it will be a good opportunity for us to annihilate them in one fell swoop."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Send one hundred thousand people to attack Liaoyang! Sir, do you plan to send all the Xuanjia Army?"
Zhu Cijiong asked.
If all 100,000 Xuanjia troops are sent to Liaoyang, Liaoyang will definitely be captured. If Dorgon chooses to support Liaoyang, it will be a good thing. What if he comes to attack Guangning?
So, can these more than 50,000 people withstand Dorgon's surprise attack?
Lin Fan was gambling!
"Definitely not. Send out all the Xuanjia troops. Then if Dorgon comes here, how can we stop him?
Forty thousand Xuanjia troops cooperated with the Jin Yiwei and Zhang Xianzhong's old troops to attack Liaoyang."
"Let's wait here. If Dorgon goes to Liaoyang, we will attack Shengjing. If he comes to Guangning, we will hold on. He will wait for Liaoyang to be captured."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"What a great plan, sir!"
Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but praise.
"There is no other way. If it weren't for the food and grass problem, I would have brought the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. If the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were here, why would there be such trouble?"
Lin Fan said.
Indeed it is!
If the tigers and leopards were riding here, and two hundred thousand elite troops would come out together, not only Jiannu's own core Eight Banners Army would not be able to resist it, but even the surrendered Han Eight Banners Army would not be able to resist it either.
"Sir, we are only considering the core force of the Jiannu now. What if the surrendered troops also join in?"
Zhu Cijiong asked.
"Don't worry, I brought one million taels of silver this time. I originally wanted to reward Zhang Xianzhong and conquer his soldiers, but it was useless!"
"The reason those people surrendered before was simply because we in the Ming Dynasty had no money. As long as they come, we will use the money to clear the way, and they will be honest."
"Wait until the Jian slaves are pacified, then slowly deal with them!"
Lin Fan said.
"My lord, you really have thought everything through!"
Zhu Cijiong said that he admired Lin Fan more and more.
However, because of Lin Fan's exhaustive strategy, he followed Lin Fan on the expedition this time. He did not get any credit at all. He just followed Lin Fan and gained more knowledge.
Shengjing, the den of slaves, was established.
"What! Guangning was captured?
this……"
Dorgon was shocked when he heard that Jiannu had been captured.
He asked for detailed information.
"Reporting to the Regent, General Ao and Zhang Xianzhong had a fierce battle outside Jinzhou City. They lost their troops. Although you sent soldiers to support them, the Ming Dynasty also came to support them."
"And they are all elites! General Ao was captured alive. It is said that he was forced to confess by words and deeds, and he was also castrated! As a result, the Ming army learned the information about Guangning's insufficient defense!"
"Those Ming troops quickly captured Guangning City. However, the Ming troops did not continue to advance. Instead, they repaired the city."
The man reported it.
snort!
When Dorgon heard this man's report, he snorted coldly and said: "Haha! I thought this Ming army general was so powerful, but he didn't even understand the most basic methods of using troops!"
"Doesn't he know what it means to be quick in battle?"
"If he makes a surprise attack on Shengjing overnight, he will definitely inflict heavy damage on us. Although he cannot capture Shengjing City, it will prevent us from getting involved in Guangning in a short time."
"However, he is renovating the army in Guangning. This is a very stupid behavior. Now that we are on guard, it will be difficult for him to make a sneak attack again!"
"You should quickly go to Liaoyang to convey the order to my fifteenth brother to be on guard and be prepared to join me at any time to annihilate the Ming army!"
