Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 349 The Alliance Under the City
Of course, the fall of Gaizhou shocked even Huang Taiji.

However, for Huang Taiji, it was no big deal.

Originally, Gaizhou's city defenses had been in disrepair for a long time, but now they were suddenly attacked and lost by the Ming army, which is understandable.

The point is, since this group of Ming troops has exposed their whereabouts recklessly, well, if I don't kill you all, I'm sorry for the three words Huang Taiji.

Although you occupy Gaizhou now, you are isolated and helpless, and the supplies may not be able to keep up.

Experience tells Huang Taiji that in the past, the supply of the Liaodong Peninsula had to be supported by the two states of Denglai, Shandong, not to mention Gaizhou, which is farther away.

To him, the Ming army in Gaizhou is just a case of scabies, the big deal is to let them occupy Gaizhou for two days.

"Ah Min!" Huang Taiji shouted to a man in his fifties who was sitting slightly behind.

"Chen is here!"

Amin is Huang Taiji's cousin, he is about the same age as Huang Taiji, and the two have a good relationship since childhood, so Amin also broke Huang Taiji's reuse.

Although in the battle against the Ming Dynasty, this guy's record was not obvious, but in the battle against Korea, he made great achievements in battle.Naturally, he is also a brave general who can conquer and fight well.

"Lead your troops and go to Gaizhou overnight to destroy this group of Ming troops!"

Until now, Huang Taiji has not paid attention to the army attacking Gaizhou. His eyes are fixed on Ningyuan, Jinzhou and other places in the west.

For him, that is the real battlefield. Once Zhu Changyuan leads the army to attack, there will inevitably be a big battle between Ning and Jin, although Zhu Changyuan's military strength is far different from the 40 army commanded by Hong Chengchou before. , but Huang Taiji was not sure about the outcome of the war with Zhu Changyuan.

Ah Min was ordered to lead the troops away.

What Huang Taiji didn't know was that this was the last time he saw his childhood friend and cousin in his life.

Half a day after A Min set off for the expedition, Huang Taiji received news from the front again.

A soldier hurriedly entered the hall from outside the door and delivered an urgent report from the front line.As soon as Huang Taiji opened it, he immediately became furious, and shouted loudly: "Are all the defenders in Yaozhou pigs?"

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

Dorgon felt that something was wrong, so he knelt down to inquire.

Huang Taiji angrily threw the memorial in his hand to the ground, and said, "Look for yourself."

Dorgon picked up the memorial tremblingly, and he understood before reading it, why his brother's face is so ugly?
It turned out that Yaozhou, another city less than [-] miles north of Gaizhou, also fell instantly and was captured by the Ming army.

Dorgon didn't just care about being angry like Huang Taiji. He thought about it calmly and said, "Your Majesty, there must be something wrong with this matter. It is reasonable to say that the defense of Yaozhou City is not weak. Why did it fall in such a short time?"

Huang Taiji sat on the seat without speaking, still panting with anger.

Dorgon said to his subordinates: "Go quickly, find out where the army that attacked Gaizhou and Yaozhou came from?"

"Yes!"

The following general led the way out.

Dorgon began to comfort Huang Taiji again: "Brother Huang, don't worry, Amin has already led the army away, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"Ah!" Huang Taiji sighed, and said, "I'm afraid that if those Ming soldiers go all out, they will be in trouble if they point their soldiers at Haizhou."

A prophecy.

Two hours later, Huang Taiji received the news: Haizhou was breached!
Dorgon felt a little bad.

Logically speaking, even if the general army is capable of fighting, it is impossible for an army of only two to three thousand people to take down three cities in a day. The key is, after the city is captured, who will defend it?

Moreover, the city defense of Haizhou City is not comparable to small places like Gaizhou and Yaozhou. Although Haizhou City is not as strong as Ningyuan City and Shanhaiguan City, even with the strength of the Qing army, I am afraid that at least a few soldiers must be mobilized to attack it. million people.

Unless, someone in the city opens the door and surrenders!
At this time, not only Dorgon, but Huang Taiji also understood. I am afraid that this is why Zhu Changyuan saw that he did not have the sincerity of the peace talks, so he put eye medicine on himself.

Another day later, an even sadder news came, which forced Huang Taiji to pay attention to this small group of Ming troops who were harassing under his nose.

According to reports: Amin led his troops to Gaizhou for reinforcements, and unexpectedly encountered the Ming army going north near Liaoyang, and the two sides launched a fierce battle.

The result of the battle was: more than [-] people under Amin's army, including soldiers and cavalry, none of them survived, and they were all wiped out by this Ming Dynasty army.

As for the casualties of the Ming army, it is not known for the time being.

"Brother Amin!"

When Huang Taiji heard about Amin's death in battle, he suffered from angina and rolled down from the imperial steps with his eyes blacked out. Then he spit out two mouthfuls of black blood and fell unconscious.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The officials below swarmed up and surrounded the third and outer floors of Huang Taiji, panicked for a while.

Dorgon rubbed his temples, but he was not in the mood to care about Huang Taiji's life and death, because after hearing the report, he thought more deeply, so he should be the one who is most anxious now.

Amin and the Ming army met and fought in Liaoyang, what does that mean?
It shows that the Ming army has already arrived in Liaoyang, and they will attack the city sooner or later. If the city of Liaoyang is destroyed, then Shengjing will be directly exposed to the enemy's minions.

If Zhu Changyuan's army is approaching Shenyang from Liaoyang at this time, then whether it is Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan or Jinzhou, all the garrisons will become decorations and have no effect at all.

Therefore, the most urgent task now is to transfer a large army to Liaoyang to completely wipe out this Ming army.

Dorgon came out of the palace in a hurry, and went to discuss with Daishan, asking him to lead the troops of the two banners to defend the country.He had just walked to Daishan's house, and the people who had sent to inquire about the news before came back and reported more details to him.

"My lord, according to the report of the spies, there are only more than 200 Ming soldiers who appeared in Liaoyang this time. The leader is a team of about [-] silver-armored cavalry. Although the number of cavalry is small, the speed of this cavalry is as fast as lightning. Sharp as a steel knife, Amin's troops will be defeated at the touch of a fight with him. No one will survive!"

"I see!"

Dorgon put the secret letter in his hand on the table, and murmured: "I know which team this is!" While speaking, he looked at Daishan with an unnatural expression.

Dai Shan nodded and said, "It's as fast as running through thunder, like entering a land without people. The only cavalry in the world today is Zhu Changyuan's two hundred cavalry who beheaded Sun Xiaofeng and chased and slaughtered Zhang Xianzhong for thousands of miles. the remaining."

"Yes, what the second brother said is very true!"

Dorgon nodded.

"It's just that I'm surprised. Haven't these two hundred cavalry been staying in Shaanxi? When did they come to Liaodong?" After speaking, he was shocked and said, "No, save Liaoyang!"

"No need!" Dorgon waved his hand and said, "Second brother expected it, and younger brother naturally expected it too." After a short pause, he said again: "We can't be led by the nose by Zhu Changyuan like this, if we send an army to Liaoyang now , I’m afraid it’s too late.”

"At the moment, the only way is to deploy the army to the south of Shengjing. If Zhu Changyuan dares to invade our capital, then we will fight to the death. At the same time, let the defenders of Ningyuan and Jinzhou come to help!"

Daishan nodded, "That's very good."

"It's just!" Dai Shan said with some confusion: "Although the opponent has [-] cavalry, if the garrisons from Ningyuan and Jinzhou are transferred here, wouldn't it be a bit of a big deal?"

What Dai Shan said is very reasonable. He has two banners of soldiers and horses in his hand, and one of them has at least 5 troops. The opponent has only 3000 troops. If the elites of the entire Qing Dynasty are transferred to destroy this Ming army, it is indeed a bit overkill. up.

However, Dorgon waved his hand and said: "Second brother doesn't know something, this battle must not be lost, you must know that after Liaoyang is Shengjing, if you lose, your father and brother's foundation will be ruined!"

Only then did Dai Shan suddenly realize, and said: "I understand, it's the fourteenth brother who has thought about it carefully, and this king will lead the army south to stop Zhu Changyuan's army."

"Good!" After Dorgon finished speaking, he warned again: "Second brother, don't do it, this time we have to defend, don't press forward."

Kong He led the army all the way from Gaizhou to Liaoyang. In just a few days, he occupied several big cities, finally conquered Liaoyang, and faced Shenyangwei's Qing army.

After the capture of Liaoyang, I received a call from Zhu Changyuan, asking him to fix it on the spot, so there is no need to move forward.

Rest on the spot, rectify military affairs, and stabilize the occupied cities.

The happiest person is Zhu Jinbiao who came with the army. He originally thought that he, the general officer of Liaoyang, should be appointed after Ningyuan, Jinzhou, and even Dongjiang. Unexpectedly, besides Qin Lin, he was the first A general with matching lands.

He really wanted to take Shenyang Wei down with all his might, and ask General Tian for a Shenyang commander-in-chief so that he could show off his prestige. Unfortunately, for some reason, General Tian ordered to stop the march, and it was because Liaoyang did not Moved.

But it's okay to stay still. In order to show that he is the commander-in-chief here, Zhu Jinbiao worked very hard. He repaired the Liaoyang City that had been breached before in one day, and then hanged himself to comfort the residents in the city.

In fact, not many people died in Liaoyang City, and all the battles were fought outside Liaoyang.

Huang Taiji woke up leisurely, and after learning everything, he sighed and said: "Order Daishan to garrison, and not to attack Liaoyang. In addition, Mr. Hong and Mr. Fan, please go to Shanhaiguan personally. I would like to join Zhu Changyuan Let's reopen peace talks."

As for whether Zhu Changyuan wants peace talks, in fact, he has no idea in Huang Taiji's mind.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Fan Wencheng accepted the order.

"Fourteenth brother, order people to clear the Siping pass along the way, and don't let the Ming army detour to the rear, if nothing happens..."

Huang Taiji didn't continue, but Dorgon understood.What Huang Taiji meant was: If Zhu Changyuan really didn't want to talk about peace, I'm afraid they can only withdraw from Siping and return to the Northland, and stay away from Daming ever since.

　good night.
