Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 514
Liaodong Town was one of the nine border towns of the Ming Empire in the past. It was the first time that the Ming army appeared in Liaodong Town after 30 years since Jiankuo occupied Liaoyang in the first year of Tianqi.

However, although there is no Qing army in Liaodong Town now, there are still Qing army officials stationed in Liaodong Town and some bannermen spontaneously organized to defend the city.

The First Cavalry Battalion of the First Corps of the Second Guards Army was not good at attacking fortifications. Before the arrival of the Ming artillery, they could only chase down some Qing troops who were not in the castle.

According to the prediction of the general officer Qin Zuoming, Jianlu's large-scale cavalry attack like that just now can only be the last time in the entire Liaodong region, because it is impossible for Manchuria to have more elite cavalry.

But Qin Zuoming still wanted to test whether there was still the main force of the Qing army in the Liaodong area, so he asked the first cavalry battalions of the two regiments of the Second Guards Army to pursue along the official road and freely attack the entire Liaodong area. Test out the current situation of the Qing army in the entire Liaodong region.

Therefore, tens of thousands of cavalry from the First Cavalry Battalion of the Two Corps of the Second Guards Army returned from Liaodong Town along the original road, and divided into several roads to Anshanyi, Haizhouwei, Tashanpu and other defensive strongholds in Liaodong Town. Harassment in the area, when encountering a small group of Qing troops, they will directly rush to hack and kill them.

The sharp swords cut these Qing troops to pieces, and when they met a large group of Qing troops, they also attacked them one by one, harassing them from the side, making these Qing troops unable to defend themselves and could only hide in the castle and dare not come out.

"Kill!"

The guard cavalry is not weaker than the Manchu cavalry.

The sturdy war horses and strong guard cavalry can also control several war horses to shoot and chop on the fast-running horses, and they can also kill these Qing troops standing in front of them without missing a shot. , or a rapid impact can split these Qing troops into two pieces, bleeding all over the ground.

At this time, a Qing army that had just collected the grain had not had time to return to Ximucheng.

The cavalry of the Guards suddenly rushed over like a whirlwind, and immediately three thousand cavalry drew their bows and set arrows and shot and killed 300 of these Qing troops transporting food on the spot. At the same time, the other two thousand cavalry of the Guards suddenly rushed into the analysis Mucheng, when they met the Qing army, they directly slashed at it with a knife, and immediately their heads flew across.

The cavalry of the Guard Army pays attention to raids and quick battles. They are not responsible for political occupation and establishing a ruling order, but are only responsible for intimidating the Qing army and probing the Qing army. Be polite, braid cutting and Sinicization must be enforced, and the cavalry of the Guards can only kill in one word at this time!

Naturally, the entire Ximu City was bloody killed by the Guards, and almost all the bannermen were killed by the Guards cavalry.

"Mr. Jun, please forgive me. I am also a Han Chinese. For the sake of seeing that we are all the same kind of people, please forgive me. I was forced to become the county magistrate of Jianlu! Please, please. You don't kill me."

The Manchu county magistrate of Ximu City was so frightened that he directly kowtowed in front of the guard cavalry.

But the cavalry of the Guards naturally ignored them, and a rain of arrows shot over, and the Manchu county magistrates were shot dead by random arrows in a short while.

The cavalry cavalry of the Guards frightened the Qing troops everywhere, and none of them dared to leave the city easily.

And this also provided convenience for the main force of the Guards to break through various key points and execute these Qing army bannermen in a concentrated manner.

At this time, the main force of the Second Guards Army had arrived in Deliying City, which was the first important stronghold after Xiaoheishan.

However, there are not many Qing troops guarding Deliying City. Of course, even if there are Qing troops guarding now, they cannot stop the attack of the Guards. A precise shot from a cannon directly broke through the gate of Deliying City. The Second Cavalry Battalion of the First Guards Corps rushed in first.

In just one stick of incense, the Second Army of the Guards successfully regained Deliying City. After executing all the Eight Banners soldiers, the main force of the army continued to march northward, occupying two strongholds, Xiongyueyi and Yulinpu, and finally in Chongzhen 23 Arrived at Acropolis of Gaizhou on the third day of the first month of January.

The Qing army of Gaizhouwei chose to surrender, but the Second Guards Army still did not forgive these Eight Banners soldiers and executed them all!

The Second Army of the Guards is not worried that doing so will cause the desperate resistance of the Qing army, because for the current Guards, whether the Qing army desperately resists or kneels and surrenders is the same result.

The entire Jianlu was powerless against the attack of the Second Guards Army in Liaodong, and they could not stop the attack of the Second Guards Army.

After all, the Manchus lost a lot of soldiers and horses during the two southern expeditions to Ming Dynasty.

Soon, the Second Army of the Guards regained Haizhou Guard and approached Liaodong Town.

……

At this time, Ye Keshu, the general manager of Shengjing, had no time to estimate the safety of Liaodong Town. After he escaped back to Shengjing by chance, he immediately mobilized all the Qing troops from Puhesuo and Qinghebao into Shengjing City, and began to prepare for the defense of Shengjing City. .

At the same time, Ye Keshu told the Manchu Qing court in Beijing that the Ming army in Liaodong was very powerful. His only army of tens of thousands of Manchurian cavalry had been wiped out, except for the [-] Banner infantry who stood firm in Shengjing. In addition, he was no longer able to guard other important places, so he begged the Qing court to send more reinforcements, otherwise Shengjing would not be safe and so on.

Ye Keshu naturally knew at the beginning that Shengjing could not be defended by 0 Banner soldiers alone, so he had to ask for help from all the Manchu and Han military landlords in the entire Liaodong area, and these Manchu and Han military landlords in the Liaodong area also knew that the Ming army now treats them The bureaucratic landlord class is very unfriendly and directly executes them as traitors, so they are also very active.

All of a sudden, many armed landlords appeared, and many even came directly to Shengjing City with bravery to assist Shengjing Chief Ye Keshu in defending the city.

But the Second Guards Army will soon let these fundamental threatening forces that have been challenging Ming's dominance know how powerful the Ming Guards are.

However, at this time, the Second Guards Army had just arrived in Liaodong Town.

The city of Liaodong Town is quite strong, after all, it used to be the headquarters of the Liaodong Capital of the Ming Dynasty, and it was also the Xingdu of Nurhachi.

Many of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army also knew the important role of Liaodong Town and spontaneously started the task of defending the city, and even specially prepared a lot of rolling logs and rocks.

But the Second Guards Corps would soon tell them it was useless.

Immediately after the Second Guards Army arrived in Liaodong Town, a heavy artillery battalion from the Second Corps of the Second Guards Army began bombarding Liaodong Town.

In less than a quarter of an hour, after a round of bombardment, the two-foot-high city wall of Liaodong Town collapsed directly, and the Qing troops guarding the city were either killed by bombing or fell to death.

The Second Army of the Guards successfully recovered Liaodong Town, the city of Liaoyang that had been in the hands of the enemy for nearly 30 years.

Next, the Second Guards Army will attack Shengjing City, that is, Shenyang before the Ming Dynasty. Victory is half the battle.
