Chapter 645
Li Guo left with He Jinzhao's idea, but on the contrary, he didn't feel relaxed.

The entire rebel army will fall into the encirclement and suppression of the government army, even if it is a powerful hammer bandit, it is inevitable.

In the future, only by following He Jinzhao's strategy of "running away" can he deal with the Gou Guanjun.

Facing the rebel army, the Ming army was sharpening their knives, looking like a mountain rain was about to come.

Outside the customs, Huang Taiji also launched a "political" attack on Zu Dashou in Dalinghe City, because he had already won a complete victory in the military attack.

Because Sun Chengzong went to Jinzhou in person, he organized forces to go to reinforcements again, and sent people to walk around with Mang Gurtai's head a few times, but the Houjin Tartars were still not intimidated.

According to the rumors of the disabled soldiers brought back, the three major Baylors were not killed by the officers and soldiers at all, but by a group of Ming rebels called hammer bandits.

Huang Taiji even made an all-out decree to regain Mangurtai's head and kill Minggou.

Although Sun Chengzong made arrangements and deployments, Qiu Hejia, governor of Liaodong, was timid and cowardly. He repeatedly changed the date of marching, delaying today for tomorrow, and delaying tomorrow for the day after tomorrow.

Qiu Hejia even found a chicken, chopped off its neck with a layer of skin attached, to see how fiercely it ran, and judge whether this expedition can win!
After Sun Chengzong lost his temper, and finally did not need Liaodong governor Qiu Hejia to lead troops to attack, the Ming army began to go out to Jinzhou to rescue Zu Dashou.

Zhang Chunhui, Wu Xiang, Song Wei and others led the deputy generals and [-] horse infantry to help. They crossed the Xiaoling River and went east for five li to build a train camp.

The Hou Jin army guarded Changshan.

At dawn three days later, the Ming army suddenly rose from the stronghold, crossed the Daling River, and lined up at Changshan Pass, which is nearly fifteen miles away from Dalinghe City.

The Ming army set up three villages, and they were fighting each other.

Huang Taiji and Dabeile Daishan led [-] elite soldiers to fight against him.

Daishan sent his deputy Chuo Henuo (the deputy of Zhenghongqi, one of the sixteen ministers of Huang Taiji) to personally lead the Houjin soldiers to attack the Ming army's stronghold, forming the first mover.

Chuo and Nuo fought bravely and made many achievements. In the Battle of Sarhu, he defeated the Ming army general Ma Lin. The only shortcoming is that he has no heirs so far.

The war between the two sides has entered a fierce battle from the very beginning.

Both sides continued shelling.

The soldiers of the Ming army opened fire with muskets, shooting and killing the heavy armored infantry who were charging.

Rao Shichuo and Nuo fought bravely and broke into the Ming army formation. They were also beheaded by Zhang Chun, the supervisor of the army. At the same time, they also slaughtered a Niulu Ezhen, and the Jin army was defeated.

Seeing that his side was defeated, Huang Taiji personally led the two-winged cavalry into the camp. Taking advantage of the Jin army's daring to fight and charge, and daring to shoot arrows at close range, they shot at the Ming army fiercely. .

The Ming army continued to fire guns to fight back. The sound of explosions shook the sky, and the lead and arrows were as dense as hail, and shot at the opponent.

Song Wei's camp was very fortified, and Huang Taiji led the troops to attack several times but he couldn't break it, so he turned around and attacked Wu Xiang's camp at the side.

The cavalry of the Houjin Army galloped and shot, and the arrows rained like rain.

Before the Ming army could release the second wave of arrows, the Jin army's arrows arrived first, followed by the cavalry.

Coupled with the fact that Tong Yangxing, who was in the camp in the east of the city, commanded the artillery to assist in the battle and continuously bombarded the Ming army, the rhythm of the Ming army's counterattack in the Wuxiang camp was completely disrupted.

Wu Xiang couldn't bear it anymore, and took the lead in running away alone.

As a result, the whole camp was in chaos, and the soldiers fled one after another.

Zhang Chun, the supervisor of the army, immediately gathered the defeated soldiers and set up a camp. At this moment, a strong wind blew up.

He immediately sent his soldiers to set fire with the wind, throwing kerosene, and the fire followed the wind, and led his men to kill two Niu Lu Ezhen and several people with titles in the Jin army.

The two sides fought each other and won.

Just when Huang Taiji's expression was heavy, it suddenly began to rain and the wind blew against him.

The fire burned to the Ming soldiers, causing them to flee, and the firearms could not be fired.

Huang Taiji seized the opportunity to drive some rout troops directly to attack Song Wei's camp. Without Wu Xiang's help, Song Wei was unable to support himself and was also defeated.

The Ming army fled one after another, but they didn't know that Huang Taiji led 2 people to fight against the 4 Ming army, and the rest had already been lying in ambush on the main roads to Jinzhou, Songshan and other places.

He wanted to wipe out all the Ming troops who came to aid Zu Dashou in one fell swoop.

Thirty-three officers including Zhang Chun, deputy generals Zhang Hongmo, Yang Huazheng, Xue Dahu, and general Jiang Xin were all captured alive.

Lieutenants Zhang Jifu, Manku, and Wang Zhijing died in the battle.

However, Wu Xiang and Song Wei, who had a lot of experience in running away from the war with Hou Jin, all fled.

The Ming army repeatedly failed in reinforcements, and this time the losses were the most serious. There were more than [-] elite soldiers and generals, and there were not many left.

In the future, even Sun Chengzong would not have the strength to send reinforcements, so he could only let Zu Dashou and others wait to die. All the officers, soldiers and people of Dalinghe were left in a situation of isolation and lack of food.

After this battle, all the captured Ming troops kneeled down as courtiers when they saw Huang Taiji, but Zhang Chun, the supervisor of the army, did not kneel on his own.

He told Huang Taiji that loyal ministers would not serve the second master, if I were greedy for life and afraid of death, how dare you use me?

Huang Taiji appreciated Zhang Chun's words, and then ordered him to shave his hair, but Zhang Chun refused, and did not accept Huang Taiji's gift of new clothes.

Since then, he has been in custody for more than ten years, "wearing Hanfu and not shaving his hair". After facing the hopeless peace talks between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, he knew that he would have no chance to return to the Ming court in the future. His hope was shattered, so he died of hunger strike.

At this time, Huang Taiji wanted to win over the captured Ming army, so as to make Zu Dashou in Dalinghe City surrender with confidence, and show that I am not a bloodthirsty person.

Because at the beginning of the siege, he wrote to Zu Dashou to persuade him to surrender, and even promised to make peace and stop the war immediately.

Zu Dashou ignored this. He was from Liaodong and had a huge family in Ningyuan. There was also a memorial archway set up by the emperor for his family in recognition of their meritorious service in defending the frontier.

The ancestral family has a large population, and the family business is rich and prestigious.

It was the Buer family who succeeded Li Chengliang in guarding Liaodong. In order to protect his reputation and family business, Zu Dashou designated that he would not surrender.

However, when the news of the repeated defeats of the Ming army came, Zu Dashou fell into deep thought while clutching the letter written by Huang Taiji. He had hardly read it before, and threw it directly into the fire, expressing his determination to the soldiers.

But now the foreign aid has been cut off, and there is no food inside.

Zu Dashou let out a long sigh, and opened the letter written by Huang Taiji himself.

Great Khan of the Great Jin Kingdom wrote a letter to General Zu.

"Soldiers, lethal weapons, and war dangers!
Is there anyone who does not want to enjoy peace but is willing to go to war?

Although he has won many times, how can he compare to living and working alone at home with his wife?
Every time I send someone to make peace with you, but Emperor Ming and his ministers regard themselves as in the sky and see me as in Jiuyuan. No one agrees to make peace with me, so I am angry and start my teacher.

The conflict between the two countries is nothing more than war or peace. Da Ming and I just failed to make peace. The two sides can only use force on the frontier. I personally led the army and drove straight in. I didn't expect to meet the general here. "

Seeing this, Zu Dashou snorted, Huang Taiji was not like his father who didn't speak Chinese, he seemed to have read a few books.

As for reconciliation, it's bullshit talk, trying to justify his own actions.

Zu Dashou believed that if Huang Taiji had the ability to break through Beijing two years ago, he would never have proposed peace talks!
It's not that he doesn't have the strength to talk nonsense.
