Chapter 734

Hong Xie also cannot retreat. This time it is equivalent to the whole country coming, and the political impact of another defeat is too great.

For the sake of the future of the Qing Dynasty, the only option is to knock out teeth and swallow blood. Whether the raw rice in the pot has good teeth or not, you have to eat it hard.

The two sides continued to compete until the end of July, and more than 1 corpses were left on the battlefield. The Ming army did not suffer too much, and Jiannu did not get too much money.

Unable to fight for a long time, Hong's confidence has been shaken more than once. Just when he lost the battle, he was sent by a secret agent from Ming Dynasty to protect him.

The slave chief knew that the reason why Hong Chengchou was in such an urgent mood for the decisive battle was because the bandits in the central plains of the Ming Dynasty reappeared, and the imperial court was already unable to resist, so they were eager to resolve the Liaodong war and mobilized troops to suppress the bandits.

Knowing that the Ming army was in a hurry, Hong was not in a hurry, he secretly called luck, and wished in his heart that the brother surnamed Li who rebelled in the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty would stand up and make a fuss more cheerfully.

He immediately adjusted his strategy, divided his troops and stationed in Wangbaoshan, Zhuangzhentai, Zhaiershan, Changlingshan, Liuxitun and other important places, digging trenches and building strongholds on the spot.

The Qing army formed a semi-encirclement of Hong Chengchou's troops on the front line of Songshan, and used the advantage of cavalry to attack from time to time to cut off the main roads of Songshan, making it difficult for the Ming army to replenish supplies.

This move was very clever. Originally, the Qing army and the Ming army's deadly confrontation was exactly what Hong Chengchou wanted, but the red army stopped fighting suddenly, and changed from attacking to defending to harass the grain road. The Ming army is completely different.

When the Qing army came to attack the Ming army camp, everyone could work together to defend it, because if the camp was breached, everyone would be finished.

The Ming army took the initiative to attack the Qing army's barracks. There were too many soldiers who did not work hard.

Even Yao Shanshou and Zhou Fang didn't dare to attack the Qing army's camp with all their strength, because if they entered regardless of casualties and the friendly troops didn't follow up at all, they would be surrounded and wiped out by the Qing army's concentrated and superior forces, and of course they would take advantage of all the heroic battle robes .

The generals of the "God of War" department were all lamenting. At this time, they deeply realized the words that the Patriarch often said, "Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs."

Hong Chengchou was helpless when he saw that the attack was fruitless and the casualties would only increase. The Qing army's continuous counterattack caused the Ming army's losses to increase. The casualty ratio has become one to three. He knew that a quick battle was impossible.

The Qing army went down to the camp on three sides, and the Ming army could only respond with three camps divided into three sides.Hong Chengchou set up camp with the left wing, right wing, and central army as the three command hubs.

He ordered all the ministries to strictly guard against death, and not allow the Qing army to get a chance to attack. The three battalions supported each other. If the Qing army was dispatched, they would definitely try to wipe them out outside the camp.

Cheng Dashi was also aware of the seriousness of the problem, and he asked Yao Shanshou to use his strengths to fight a dull battle, and pay attention to the storage of grain and grass materials in case of emergency.

Qing Geertai considers himself a staunch "God of War" general, and has a good relationship with Cheng Dashi, Yao Shanshou and other "God of War" families.

He also couldn't understand how Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, and Wang Pu, the commanders-in-chief, acted like they were afraid of death, so they simply shared the camp with Yao Shanshou and they defended and counterattacked together.

Soon Ma Shihu and Ma Shilong's troops also decided to connect with Yao Shanshou's camp, because they trusted the "God of War" generals and had confidence in their subordinates.

Since 10,000+ troops need to be divided into three sides, Hong Chengchou has Yang Guozhu, Ma Ke, and Wang Tingchen as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, as well as [-] of his own direct line "Hong Jun".

Cheng Dashi took the initiative to ask Ying to come to the right wing to command. Of course, the right wing is where Yao Shanshou, Qing Geertai, Ma Shihu, and Ma Shilong are located. There are more than [-] soldiers here.

People are divided into groups and things are gathered together, and many "God of War" soldiers are concentrated on the right wing. Although the two commanders-in-chief Ma Shihu and Ma Shilong are not in charge, they still follow the lead of the "God of War". hidden dangers.

When the central army and the left-wing generals were dawdling, the right-wing was busy up and down. They sweated profusely and worked together to reinforce the camp. Qing Geertai led all the cavalry to escort the centralized food reserves.

He has the talent to accomplish great things, and he also has the talent of photographic memory. He personally checks every defensive point, and he can remember the names of the hundred general officers and even the chief banner officer.

When the governor of Liaodong came to inspect the defense, he could directly call out the name of a small officer of the Baizong, which was of great help to boost morale.

Right-wing civilian and military generals and ordinary soldiers can certainly gain a sense of identity if they share weal and woe, and soldiers will naturally fight the enemy bravely.

Of course, the civilian commander of the left wing was Zhang Ruolin, the supervising army who was later included in the biography of the second minister. How could this kid lead troops to fight? He didn't even understand the basics of military common sense.

He was not lucky. Under his command, he had Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief who was a Shanxi businessman who was a high-ranking Shanxi businessman, and Tang Tong and Bai Guangen, the soft-boned commanders.

The Qing army huddled in the camp and defended to the death. The Ming army's three camps were large and powerful, and they attacked each other in a short period of time. The results were few, and it seemed to be deadlocked.

After waiting for three months, Hong finally discovered the loopholes in the defense of the Ming army. In order to prevent accidents, Hong Chengchou had limited rations in the central army, and the left wing had no sense of crisis at all, and there was not much food in the army. Bring food to camp for storage.

The scouts of the Qing army continued to investigate, and finally discovered that the Ming army's food storage area was on Bijia Mountain on the West Bohai Sea in Jinzhou.

It's a pity that Hong Chengchou didn't have a thorough understanding of geography. When the sea ebbed and the enemy attacked from the south, Bijia Mountain was almost impossible to defend.

The enemy finally made an omission, and when the fighter plane came, Hong Jie ordered Azige to lead 1 horses to raid Tashan Mountain, and seize the grain and grass that the Ming army had accumulated in Bijia Mountain when the tide was low.

He ordered Jierhalang to lead 2 troops to cut off the connection between the right wing of the Ming army and the middle army, and ordered Yue Tuo to lead [-] troops to cut off the connection between the left wing of the Ming army and the middle army. He and Prince Hauge personally led all available troops to attack Hong Chengchou In the camp of the Chinese army, strive to execute the beheading operation.

The timing of the decisive battle was completely determined by the Qing army. The Ming army had already fallen into a passive position and lost its geographical advantage. After the spring, summer and autumn, Hong was waiting for winter again, and he was about to get the right time.

The Ming army preparing to attack Jinzhou had long since lost their concerted efforts to defend. They were unwilling to be the main attackers. They were all working hard and refused to fight to the death.

This is not alarmist talk, Ma Shihu complained more than once, saying that he had the urge to attack Wang Pu's troops with his cavalry.
