Be the emperor from the postman

Even if Duoduo led the army to fight out, it was only comparable to the Ming army, and the Ming army who did not kill like before fled in a big rout.

Duoduo has a deep understanding that this gang of Ming troops is really difficult to deal with.

So they sent people to ask for help again. The Ming Dynasty gathered soldiers from all provinces to reject our division. Our soldiers defeated the three battalions and won 550 horses. There were many enemy soldiers.

Huang Taiji instructed the strategy, and then sent Eight Banners soldiers to reinforce.

But within a few days, Jierhalang sent an envoy in an emergency, saying that "the enemy is numerous", he could not resist the enemy, and most of the soldiers under his command wanted to go home for rotation after being beaten.

The battle reports for help from the front were continuously sent to Shenyang. Huang Taiji was so anxious that he vomited blood, suffered from a nasal disease, and bled profusely.

Because he didn't expect that the Ming army's attack would be so difficult, and even Jierhalang, who had always been brave and good at fighting, felt very uncomfortable and kept asking for help.

So regardless of his illness, he decided to go to the front line to command in person.

Not only that, Huang Taiji also issued an expedition order, learned about the strong men in Shenyang City, passed on the soldiers and horses of various ministries, and gathered in the capital.

The sons of the Korean King and others who stayed in Shenyang as hostages all saw Jinzhou Wei Daming's reinforcements flourishing, so they sent out soldiers from the country to continue to help.

In fact, the mood of the North Koreans is extremely complicated. They are eagerly looking forward to Ming being able to win the battle, so as to save them from the fire and water.

In the event of aiding the DPRK during the Wanli period, although the military discipline of the Ming army was mediocre, it actually helped them get rid of the Japanese invaders.

Huang Taiji was originally scheduled to set off on the [-]th, but was delayed for three days due to nosebleeds. On the [-]th, the bleeding had not stopped. He could no longer delay and ordered the departure. The Maharaja set off the next day.

His younger brother, Azig, advised him to slow down. After all, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty was so bloody and rushed all the time. Did he have so much blood to shed on such a long road from Shenyang to Songshan?
In case of bleeding to death, the frontline army would collapse immediately, which would be a huge blow to the Qing Dynasty.

Huang Taiji held his nose and said anxiously: "March to win, the advantage lies in the speed. If I have wings to fly, I will fly there immediately. Why do I walk slowly!"

So everyone is not admonishing.

Huang Taiji led [-] elite riders with Jinzhou's determination to "must conquer". As soon as he left Shenyang, he galloped his horses for six days day and night, and arrived at Weijiapu near Songshan on the [-]th.

It is true that Huang Taiji was running all the way and had nosebleeds at the same time.

When he arrived, he immediately issued an order: "Order Baiyintu, Yingerdai, the troops of Prince Horqin Tuxietu, Chahar Suonuomuwei Zhaisang and other departments to build camps between pine and apricot, and wait for him After arriving at Songshan, encircle Songshan and Xingshan.

It is an important step towards a decisive battle for the coach to come to the front line to command.

The coaches of the Ming and Qing Dynasties came to Songshan one after another, and put all the elite and powerful soldiers of the country into the battlefield, which actually set the stage for a decisive battle.

The Ming Dynasty invested a total of 13 troops, but there is no specific record in official documents about how many troops were invested in the Qing Dynasty.

Because the Qing court hardly recorded the number of troops sent.

But before the Qing army entered the pass, the total strength of Manchurian and Han troops was about 12.

Before leaving the army this time, Huang Taiji recruited troops from various ministries and learned that Shen Zhongzhiding joined the battle, which was actually a general mobilization of the whole country.

It can be said that Huang Taiji is a soldier in the country, and he does not hesitate to put all his eggs in one basket to wage a strategic decisive battle with Ming.

In addition, he also transferred soldiers and horses from various Mongolian tribes in foreign vassals to coerce North Korea to send troops to help the war.

The total number of its troops is not small.

Compared with the previous times he sent large troops into the customs, they were all around [-] to [-] (including the Mongolian servant army), and this Songjin decisive battle was the most serious situation he had faced since he took the throne, so he rushed all the way regardless of his nose bleeding.

The troops invested by Huang Taiji must be more than the highest amount of more than [-] in the previous entry, and will never be less than the Ming army.

The strategy started by Hong Chengchou, who was the commander of the Ming Dynasty, was very successful. Since the Qing army wanted to encircle the spot to fight for aid, then I will give you the opportunity to encircle the spot to fight for aid.

The main force he led was some time away from Jinzhou, enough for him to support Jinzhou, and to divide the strength of the Qing army, so that they could not completely besiege Jinzhou, nor could they fully assist.

Then a small group of troops was sent to continuously harass the Qing army and fight in turn.

In fact, Hong Chengchou knew very well that Huang Taiji didn't have more strength to spend on the siege of Jinzhou.

Compared with the besieged city, it is not only the scarce food and grass that is besieged, but the besiegers need to pay more.

In order to solve the food problem, Huang Taiji has been farming in Yizhou for a year.

In the early stage, Dorgon and others were not very strict around Jinzhou, because they couldn't do it, they were reprimanded by Huang Taiji.

This is a battle between the two sides to compete in logistics and national strength, and it depends on who can beat the other.

Don't look at Huang Taiji asking his younger brother Mongols to help in the war, and also asking the servant army North Korea to help in the war, but the Qing court always paid for the bulk of the food.

But Daming was extremely poorly prepared in terms of food and grass.

Ever since Zu Dashou called for reinforcements, the imperial court had been procrastinating. First, it took more than a month to negotiate back and forth, and then it took more than half a month to determine the candidates.

The emperor didn't believe the strategy proposed by the Ministry of War, so he wrote to Hong Chengchou privately to ask what to do, and he went out in another half a month.

Hong Chengchou answered fluently, and then he was accused of letting you go to Liaodong to command the battle.

Then Hong Chengchou roughly summoned the soldiers and horses of the eight towns.

If He Jinchao hadn't spent a lot of "negotiating peace money" behind the scenes to dredge up relations within the Ming court, Hong Chengchou might not have been able to store so much food and grass when he went to Liaodong.

Chongzhen gave He Jinchao the peace money, the hammer bandit really is the emperor's capital to earn money and the emperor's capital spends it, and they want to take it home.

With the efforts of the hammer bandits, Hong Chengchou had a little bit of confidence in the military rations delivered by the Ming court.

He also knew that the Ming army was not capable of field combat when facing the Qing army, so after the army gathered, they strengthened coordination and strengthened military discipline. For this reason, he also beheaded several deputy generals to stand up.

Because how many of the general soldiers who worked under Hong Chengchou could be regarded as his confidantes?
Counting and counting, throwing away the Hong Bing trained by himself, that is, Tang Tong actively moved closer to him. Don't look at Wu Sangui's respect for him. Once the battle is unfavorable, do you think Wu Sangui will pull Hong Chengchou together? escape?

Then, small groups of troops were sent to fight in turn, both for training and improving morale. As a result, the morale of the Qing army dropped extremely quickly, which took time.

Hong Chengchou is also waiting for the opportunity. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. He wants to see how long Huang Taiji can last?
As for what Chen Xinjia said that the imperial court had no money and food, but they were scraping together, is it true that they can't get any money out?
But the imperial court didn't think about it, and didn't take Daming's last bit of "elite capital" to heart at all.

The people sent by Chen Xinjia wrote a secret letter to the emperor. My Ming soldiers were very capable of fighting from top to bottom. The Qing army dared not fight. Then the time dragged on for too long, the court had no money to support them, and we needed to fight quickly A quick decision will benefit the court.

Both Chen Xinjia and Chongzhen put aside the opinions of the front-line commanders, and began to be blindly confident, urging to fight. I don't know if it is the old traditional craft of Ming Dynasty!

Hong Chengchou's tactics were extremely successful, and the longer the delay, the better for the Ming army, because the Qing army had no chance to encircle the main force brought by Hong Chengchou, and the siege of Jinzhou was extremely successful.

But the Qing army's aid this time was not enough at all. On the contrary, the front-line commander-in-chief Jierhalang wanted to escape after being beaten by Hong Chengchou.

It's really an old crime.

The Qing army and the Ming army have never fought such an aggrieved battle!
After all, they are used to fighting against the wind when entering the fortress to plunder.

Although Zu Dashou was in a difficult situation, he was also uncomfortable, but what was even more uncomfortable was the Qing army besieging the city.

They couldn't grab anything. Tens of thousands of people ate the grains stationed in Yizhou, the grains sent by North Korea, and the grains sent by Shenyang every day.

The siege took too long, and the soldiers of the Qing army were tired of fighting, and they kept returning home in rotation.

The morale of the army is even worse!
Why can't I go home if he can go home?
This is also when Huang Taiji learned that the front line was in such distress, he immediately ordered the mobilization of the whole country, and then ran all the way regardless of nosebleeds, for fear that he would be late and fail.

As the commanders-in-chief of both sides, they are very aware of the situation in front of them. However, Chen Xinjia and Chongzhen, the ministers of the Ministry of War in the capital, do not understand the situation in front of them. The main reason is that Huang Taiji wants to benefit their own situation. situation.

I have to say that if Chongzhen didn't have the wish to "rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty" and instead followed "Wanli's failure", Daming would not fall so quickly.

Chongzhen was the main culprit who took Daming's car and stepped on the accelerator crazily down the mountain.

Huang Taiji first ordered the follow-up reinforcements to "cross the road" to cut off the Ming army's retreat and block the Ming army's backup troops.

Then he personally took people to observe Hong Chengchou's military arrangements.

At this time, the deployment of the Ming army was from Rufenggang to Songshan. Seven battalions were deployed with infantry, and cavalry were arranged around the east, west, and north sides of Songshan City, and they dug long trenches to guard them.

After Huang Taiji arrived at Songshan, he formed his formation on the hillside of Xingshan Mountain, seven or eight miles west of Songshan.

When he climbed the mountain to look at the Ming army camp, he saw that the Ming soldiers were well-arranged, and he couldn't help sighing:

"Everyone says that Hong Chengchou is good at using soldiers, and he really deserves his reputation. No wonder our generals are afraid of him!"

Dorgon and the others were also observing Hong Chengchou's arrangements. These generals who fought against the Ming army many times had never seen such a tight formation of the Ming army.

Even if Azig and others suffered a disadvantage against the hammer bandit He Jinzhao, they still felt that He Jinzhao's formation was not as good as Hong Chengchou's.

Even though everyone is a half-way monk, they are "academically educated", they spend their time studying military books, and add their own hands-on practice, it is simply not comparable to this group of people who use the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as a military book.

Even if He Jinchao was asked to fiddle with a hundred thousand troops, he might not be able to fiddle with them.

For Hong Chengchou's opponent, Huang Taiji and others all paid attention to it.

Of course, after hearing what Huang Taiji said, Ji Erhalang's face looked a little better.

Huang Taiji looked at Hong Chengchou's army formation from the morning until the sun set, saw that most of the Ming soldiers were concentrated in the front, and the rear was rather weak, so he suddenly realized:
"This array has front power, but no rear guard, it can be broken!"

He based on the Achilles heel of the Ming army's high concentration and disregard of each other from head to tail.

Make a decisive decision and implement the combat policy of besieging the Ming army by cutting off grain roads and digging trenches and building walls.

Therefore, the Qing army was deployed between Songshan and Xingshan, and camped from Wangbaoshan, Zhuangzhentai, Zhaiershan, Changlingshan, Liuxitun, Xiangyintun, Huiyaoshan to Nanhaikou, cutting off Songshan and Xingshan. The passage between the Xingshan Mountains.

Huang Taiji's deployment against the Ming army ordered the Qing army to dig trenches on a large scale, preparing to trap the Ming army to death.

"Since Hong Chengchou wants to be Ma Di of Songshan, then I will be Zhang He, hahaha!"

The next day, the Qing army fought fiercely against Songshan, and the outcome was not decided.

However, Huang Taiji ordered Azig, Boluo, Turge and others to lead their troops to attack Tashan and seize twelve piles of grain stored by the Ming army in Bijiashan.

Huang Taiji got the shocking news that Hong Chengchou only dared to bring three days' food and grass to guard Songshan. He was looking for death, so what?
Really help me too!
On the same day, he commanded the Qing army to dig trenches. In just one day, he went from the west of Jinzhou to the south, crossed the avenue between pines and apricots, and reached Haikou. He dug three large trenches, each eight feet deep and more than ten feet wide. Pass.

To the east is the Qing territory, and to the south is the sea. There is no need to dig trenches, but only the passage between the pine and apricot is cut off, and the Ming reinforcements are surrounded, thus cutting off all connections and food supplies between the Ming reinforcements and the rear.

Hong Chengchou had already sent sentry cavalry to inquire around, and when he heard that Huang Taiji was on his way with a nosebleed, he couldn't help sighing, this kind of person would definitely be able to achieve great things.

But this time he is afraid that he will fail!

"Master, our army has only brought three days of rations. Huang Taiji's morale has been greatly boosted by his visit to the front line. He will definitely come to invite the battle. Our army can wait for work."

Facing Tang Tong's suggestion, Hong Chengchou nodded first, then shook his head:
"Although such a battle is beneficial to our army, it will make Huang Taiji hesitate, and the previous arrangement will be abolished. We should take the initiative to attack and force the Qing army to "force us back to Songshan to defend", so that Huang Taiji can be delayed longer. "

Because Hong Chengchou knew that he needed time, and Huang Taiji also needed time, everyone was waiting for the last time, stud all at once.

Early the next morning, Hong Chengchou commanded the army, dispatched cavalry, infantry and chariot battalions to launch a full-scale attack on the Qing army, and concentrated on breaking through the Qing army's camp with red flags.

Huang Taiji went into battle in person, armed with a spear, Zhang Huanggai, and led several people to set up the formation. The Qing army resisted tenaciously, but the Ming army "could not break into the trench" and retreated back to the camp.

The Prince of Joseon, who witnessed the battle with his own eyes, became a frontline war reporter and wrote letters to the court king and others to report.

The Ming soldiers "circled around the front field, and the Qing soldiers invited the way. They fought for a long time, and the damage was equal."

The Ming soldiers failed to break through the siege, and most of them retreated inside and outside Songshan City. Huang Taiji also withdrew his troops and returned to the camp, saying to the generals: "The enemy will flee tonight, and our army has won a big victory."

The Prince of Joseon still sighed a little. He thought that Ming would win a complete victory this time, but he didn't expect that Hong Taiji would go to the front line in person, and the governor of Ming, Hong Chengchou, would run out of supplies all of a sudden, and he would make the mistake of only bringing food for three days .

Fortunately, Huang Taiji praised Hong Chengchou as the No.1 of Ming Dynasty a few days ago!

As a result, this is it?
After the ideals of the princes of Joseon were shattered, they finally recognized the reality. Even though their hearts were for Daming, their bodies were still full.

Huang Taiji predicted that the Ming army would be severely short of food and would break through the siege and flee in the direction of Tashan and Xingshan, so he deployed troops to wait for the interception and killing.
