Chapter 676 Give him more fire

The night was uneventful.

At the beginning of Maoshi, everyone had already packed up and had a simple breakfast, then they went down the mountain in a group and walked slowly towards the southeast. After about five miles, they went on Liaoxi Avenue.

It wasn't until this time that everyone felt relieved, and twenty miles further on was Ningyuan Zhongzuo's residence, Tashan Fort. Because of the presence of Ma Zhenyuan and his six wounded, Chang Zhengbiao ordered Chang Zhengcheng to lead two guards to move forward slowly.

He led three dozen sentry cavalry to follow Duan from a distance, while Chang Zhengfei led one even ten sentry cavalry to spread out guard posts around Liaoxi Avenue, in case slaves rushed to ambush and intercept in advance.

Fortunately, there were no surprises and no dangers along the way, as Ma Zhenyuan expected, the Tatars did not take advantage of the night to pursue revenge, or maybe the Tartars only checked the surroundings to confirm that it was not the Ming army, so they didn't take it to heart.

After all, the battle between the two armies is imminent, and this kind of occasional battle between sentry cavalry is not the focus of the two armies.

In fact, where the two armies converged, such small-scale contact battles abounded. Often the Ming army lost more than they won, and was almost overwhelmingly hunted down by the Tartar sentries.

But like today, nearly [-] of our own soldiers who fought hundreds of battles were all wiped out by the sentry cavalry of the Ming army, especially one of them was captured alive by the Ming army.

It is really a shame and a shame, a shame and a shame that has never been seen in ancient times!
…………

About ten miles northwest of Jinzhou City, there is a large Qing Army company camp under Huanxi Ridge, which stretches for several miles. Although tens of thousands of troops are stationed, there are no chaotic voices, except for the occasional voice of passwords, and there are war horses. neighing.

There is a square in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, and there are large woven gold banners standing side by side, with the names of princes embroidered on them. Of course, Dorgon, Prince He Shuorui, and Hauge, Prince He Shuosu, are the respected ones. The woven gold banner is also the tallest and brightest.

At this time, Dorgon, Prince Heshuorui of the Qing Dynasty, had just finished switching defenses with Jierhalang, Prince Heshuo Zheng, and was stationed here.

The slave chieftain Huang Taiji sent troops to attack Jinzhou this time, although the purpose was to "encircle and fight for aid", but his strategy was "long-term siege".

To this end, not only sent a large army to restore Yizhou City on the banks of the Daling River, but also relied on the plain terrain near Yizhou, the fertile land was greatly developed, and the coated ahas were driven to farm here to reduce the burden on the army.

At the same time, ten thousand stone grains were conscripted from North Korea, more than ten thousand good horses were conscripted from Mongolia, and dozens of red cannons were rushed to be produced in Shengjing, which were gradually being transported to Yizhou, and this place was regarded as a logistics base. Daming was helpless.

His wishful thinking is that if the Ming army does not rescue, then the grain and grain in Jinzhou City will be exhausted and Zu Dashou will be forced to surrender; .

It is precisely because of this plan that the strength of the Qing army on the outskirts of Jinzhou has been maintained at about 5 horses, and it is stipulated that the Qing army is divided into two squads, which will be replaced in turn to besiege Jinzhou every three months.

In this way, the army can take turns to truce, relieve fatigue, and reduce the pressure on the supply of food and fodder.

In March of this year, Dorgon was replaced by Jierhalang, Prince of Heshuo Zheng, Azige, Prince of Duoluo Wuying, and Duduo, Prince Yu. Now they have besieged Jinzhou for three months, so Dorgon came to take them exchange back.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Dorgon and Hauge were side by side at the top, and the two of them sat on the left and right sides.

Below and on the left are Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhenbeile Shuotuo, Xianghongqi Gushan Ezhenman Dahai, and Baya Latuzhangjing Yierdeng and other generals.

At the bottom of the right are Gushan Ezhen, Doro Raoyu Beile Abatai, Xianglan Banner Gushan Ezhen, Doro Anping Beile Dudu, and Baya Latuzhangjing Tazhan and others.

Dorgon nodded and looked at the people below without saying a word, and there was no trace of joy, anger, sorrow or joy on his slightly fair face.

Hauge, who was sitting on the side, had a fierce and angry expression on his face. He stared at Anping Beledudu, who was sitting next to him, panting heavily.

The felt curtain of the military tent was lifted, and a general strode in and presented a wooden tray with two bloody heads on it. He only heard his report: "The inlaid blue flag fled in battle, two vest whistles, and I was ordered to behead before the army, and I am here to return."

Du Du glanced at the two heads, without a trace of pity in his eyes, he turned his head to look at Hauge again, and said, "King Su, these two..."

Haoge didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said angrily: "The cowardly people have no pity. The head is hung outside the camp to show the public, so as to imitate others. If the order is passed on, his family's wealth and relatives will be used as coat servants."

At this moment, Dorgon glanced sideways at Hauge, shook his head secretly, sighed again in his heart, and said nothing, but his eyes were looking down at Bellesutuo.

Shuo Tuo made friends with Dorgon in private, and when he saw him looking at him, he said: "It is time to serve as an example to others. The warriors of the Qing Dynasty have never encountered such a defeat when they fought. They almost wiped out Minggou on the spot." , and set a precedent of running away timidly, it is really embarrassing."

"Humph!"

Hauge was ridiculed by him, but he had no choice but to snort heavily in his nose to express his dissatisfaction.

Seeing the embarrassment of the scene, Abatai asked the kneeling Niu Luzhang Jing: "Zhang Guli, according to what you saw, how was the battle going? Can you estimate how many troops the Ming army has?"

As soon as he said this, a sly look flashed in Dorgon's eyes, and he said in his heart: "This Abatai is getting smarter and smarter, it's not a good thing!"

Zhang Guli, who was kneeling below, replied respectfully: "The last general led my warriors of the Qing Dynasty to rush all the way, but those Ming dogs have all fled and disappeared. After searching for traces, they have fled to the southwest, and they have been chased for five miles. If there is no trace, he obeys the order of the prince and retreats back.

Only [-] corpses were found in that forest, all of their heads were chopped off by Ming dogs, and the armored battles were also missing. According to the on-site inspection, there were quite a few places where the guns were bombarded.

Combining the words of these two cowards, it seems that with two whistles, our warriors of the Qing Dynasty wiped out one of them very smoothly at the beginning, but I don’t know where to kill another wave, and the guns are sharp. sound. "

Abatai waved his hand and said, "You step back!"

After Zhang Guli retreated, he looked at Dorgon again, and said, "Lord Rui, there are more and more sentries in the Ming army. In the past month, I have encountered a lot of warriors. The more urgent the sentries are, there must be Because of this, we must guard against it.”

Haoge snorted again and said, "Ming dogs are all huddled in Ningyuan. They are afraid of my mighty warriors and dare not come over to relieve the siege of Songjin. What should we worry about as mere sentry cavalry?"

"cough!"

Dorgon coughed lightly, and said with a wicked smile: "King Su is right, it is nothing to worry about if you are just a dog sentinel. Tomorrow, we will send more warriors to go out to the fortresses of Xingshan and Tashan. Intercept and kill Minggou sentry cavalry, cover the Songjin battlefield, so that they can't know the details of our army, that's all."

He glanced at Hauge with a smile, then turned to Abatai and said, "Rao Yu Baylor, we will urge all the troops to step up the attack on Songjin from tomorrow. The more anxious the Ming army is, they want to do something. Let's fire him up."
