Chapter 348 Intercepting Daishan, the Ming Army Appears

Chapter 348 Intercepting Daishan, the Ming Army Appears

Shenyang.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall was oppressive. Even the trusted veterans who had followed Nurhachi for many years felt Nurhachi's pent-up anger and dared not speak casually.

The news of the fall of Fuzhouwei and Gaizhouwei shocked Hou Jin greatly.But what made Nurhachi even more furious was Liu Aita's betrayal of gold and returning to the Ming Dynasty.

If it was just a defeat on the battlefield, the loss of the two cities would be lost, which is not particularly serious.Although it was beyond Nurhachi's expectations, he originally thought that Daishan's two banners were in southern Liaoning and should be able to withstand the attack of the Ming army.

In Nurhachi's plan, Fuzhouwei and Gaizhouwei were mainly guarded by Han soldiers. As long as the Ming army insisted on landing and attacking the city, the cavalry of the two red flags could rush to support them.

But the heavy blow was Liu Aita's betrayal. He trusted that boy from the Han family so much, he was promoted from a slave, and he was adopted as a husband-in-law.

To be betrayed by someone, especially by someone who is close to you and trusted, the feeling is absolutely heart-wrenching. You can't wait to catch the betrayer right in front of you, scold him for his ingratitude, and hack him to death one by one.

But besides Nurhachi's resentment, he still had a little fantasy, hoping that the news was false and that the Ming army had deliberately spread it.There were other reasons for the fall of Fuzhouwei and Gaizhouwei, and it was definitely not the work of Liu Aita, who he entrusted with important tasks.

But whether it is true or not, the upheaval in southern Liaoning requires a countermeasure, and it must be done as soon as possible.Because of the fall of Fuzhouwei and Gaizhouwei, the Daishan Department in southern Liaoning was copied from the rear, and the situation was very bad.

Now, Amin has dispatched [-] cavalry to reinforce the ally Horqin.Nurhachi did not plan to lead troops out of Shenyang himself, and made the bluff more real.

Anyway, the news has already been released, and the Mongolian coalition forces attacking Horqin are unlikely to get accurate information so quickly.

Excluding Daishan's Two Red Banners, Huang Taiji and Du Du's two-banner troops who were resisting the Ming army outside, and Amin's troops, there were only less than four banner troops left in Liaoshen.

Moreover, after several setbacks, although the Hou Jin Army is still known as the Eight Banners, the number of troops in each banner has been reduced, and its strength is no longer that strong.

The Ming army in western Liaoning also had to defend. Nurhachi believed that at most one half-banner unit could be sent to southern Liaoning, and the two banners stayed in Liaoshen, so he was more at ease.

Looking over the dull officials, Nurhachi tried to keep his voice calm and steady, and said, "Southern Liaonan is in danger. If you have any suggestions, please tell us."

suggestion?Since it is critical, then send troops to rescue!
Or abandon southern Liaoning and implement strategic contraction. This may be the correct strategy.According to Houjin's strength, the Ming army was mobilized everywhere, and it really couldn't afford to spend it.

Everyone pretended to be thinking, and no one dared to make suggestions easily.The situation has changed over the past year, and they are in a high position, how can they not know?

Southern Liaoning is not easy to defend, especially the brigade Daming Army has firmly established its foothold and formed a basis.In addition, the navy of the Ming army can choose the opportunity to land and attack, and it is impossible to defend against it, which makes people feel exhausted.

But southern Liaoning is a fertile land, and it is pointed out that the autumn harvest can alleviate the food shortage!Once abandoned, there will be a famine at the end of this year without waiting until next year.

Silence and pretending to be stupid is not an option. When He Heli realized that King Khan's gaze was on him, he finally had to speak.

With a dry cough, He Heli bowed and said slowly: "King Khan, my subordinates think that Liaonan should not be taken lightly, and immediately send troops to rescue. The two red flags of Dabeile are still in Liaonan, and it is still Dabeile to work together with the reinforcements to regain the lost land. possible."

Nurhachi nodded slightly to express his encouragement and appreciation, and turned his attention to Yangguli again.

"King Khan, my subordinates feel that there is no doubt about sending reinforcements urgently." Yang Guli said: "But the first batch does not need to be too many, and should be mainly fine cavalry. There is no news from Big Baylor, and the specific situation is not clear." Mingming. If a large army is dispatched, if the enemy in western Liao takes advantage of the opportunity to attack, they will have to guard against it."

Yes, the Ming army in western Liaoning has advanced to Guangning. Although it is difficult to march in Liaoze, it is not foolproof.

Nurhachi nodded again, and doubts arose in his heart. He wondered why Daishan didn't send someone to send back an urgent report, which made the situation unclear and it was difficult to make accurate plans.

"King Khan, my subordinates are willing to lead [-] elite cavalry to the south of Liaoning first." Edu also bowed and pleaded, "It is not only a forward, so that the enemy will not dare to be rampant; it is also a reinforcement, so that Dabeile will not fight alone."

Nurhachi pondered for a while, then said, "Very good, I'll let you lead the way."

As one of the five ministers, E Yidu often acted as the vanguard of the army. He had not lost a single battle in decades of military service, and won the trust of Nurhachi.

After a pause, he instructed again: "The information is not very clear, even though it is an emergency aid, we must march cautiously."

"This subordinate understands." Edu accepted the order respectfully.

Out of the corner of Nurhachi's eyes, he saw that Li Yongfang who was sitting beside him opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but then he lowered his head slightly and didn't make a sound.

"Fushun's son-in-law." Nurhachi's eyes flashed, and he asked: "Do you have any suggestions, why are you hesitant to speak, but you are worried about your eldest son in Fuzhou?"

Li Yongfang was startled, and hurriedly bowed and replied: "Just now I was thinking, what is the main purpose of the Ming army's mobilization? But after thinking about it, without enough information, it is difficult to analyze it clearly."

Nurhachi frowned, and what Li Yongfang said made sense.Falsehood and reality are the essentials of a military strategist, but as far as the present is concerned, it is really difficult to judge where the Ming army is real and which is false.

Since you can't tell the truth from the truth, you can only take precautions everywhere, and you can't tell the key point when using troops.On the surface, it seems that everything is taken care of, but it is a little weak.Once there is a flaw somewhere, it is not very easy to remedy.

However, it is impossible to wait for information to delay action. Since the strategic contraction of the Ming army and the relocation of people to clear the country, Houjin's intelligence sources have been very scarce. This is what makes Li Yongfang helpless and Nurhachi dissatisfied.

"For the time being, regardless of the reality of the Ming army, as long as there are backup troops, there is no need to worry too much. Everyone, act according to the order!" Nurhachi waved his hand, ending the military discussion.

.....................

Several fast horses were galloping on the road, and the riders bowed their waists and backs, as if they were glued to the horses' backs. They let the horses gallop, but they did not jump off at the slightest jolt, showing extremely high riding skills.

Suddenly, several tripping ropes buried in the soil were straightened suddenly, and the fast horse in front of them couldn't dodge in time, and people turned their backs on their backs, really embarrassed.

The rider behind hurriedly reined in, and the horse under the seat almost stood upright, and finally stopped running without being tripped to the ground.

But their good luck ended here. Dozens of musketeers suddenly stood up in the grass on one side of the road, pulling the triggers towards them.

Accompanied by a burst of white smoke and gunshots, the riders and horses were either killed or injured by this round of salvos. Amidst the screams of people and the neighing of horses, the entire army of more than a dozen Jiannu cavalry was wiped out.

A few dizzy Jiannu who had been thrown off their horses just managed to get up when they were already surrounded by Ming army musketeers.

The black muzzles of the guns, the sharp black bayonets, the slammed butts of the guns, and the kicked military boots quickly beat these Jiannu until their noses and mouths were bleeding, and then they were tied up with ropes and taken away.

The soldiers of the Ming army cleaned up the road and then hid themselves in the bushes and trees beside the road, waiting for the next batch of Jian slaves to arrive.

Wasn't Nurhachi surprised that Daishan didn't send any information? If he saw this scene, he would suddenly understand that this was the case!
The Ming army landed in Fuzhou, under Liu Aita's anyway, easily captured the Acropolis of Fuzhou, and quickly deployed along the Shahe River, blocking the retreat of Daishan's troops to return directly north.

The Shahe River stretches for a long time, but it cannot completely seal off southern Liaoning.If Daishan led the team to go east first and cross between the Shahe River and the Bili River, it would be possible to avoid the obstruction of the river.

Due to its strength, the Ming army could not completely cut off the retreat of Daishan's troops, but they sent several hundred troops to intercept and kill Jiannu's messengers on roads and roads to delay the transmission of their information as much as possible.

The Department of Daishan is now in the Fuxian area, which is the Wafangdian of later generations.No matter how much the Ming army controlled it, the news of Fuzhouwei's fall was also learned by Daishan.

The shrapnel missed his armor, but broke two of his ribs.Coupled with the heavy fall from the horse, the broken bones were even more dislocated, making it almost impossible for him to bend over, and he coughed non-stop.

His body no longer allowed him to gallop on horseback, and his military strength was not enough to deal with the Ming army's flanking attack.On the one hand, Daishan ordered his troops to advance along the river to avoid the Ming army defending along the river; on the other hand, he sent people to report the news to Father Khan so that Father Khan could grasp the information.

In fact, Daishan did not obtain enough and accurate information, let alone fully aware of the dangerous situation of his own army.

In his view, his own army is all cavalry, and they move quickly, so it is not a big problem to go without fighting.Although the loss in the melee with the Ming army was not small, there are still more than 1 horses, which cannot be easily stopped by the Ming army.

But he forgot that the communication of the Ming army relied on sea ships, and it was a short sea journey from Fuzhou to Xinjin.

After successfully taking Fuzhou, Zhang Keshi ordered the communication clippers to go to southern Liaoning to report the news. The brigade Daming Army learned the information earlier than Daishan, and made timely adjustments.

You must know that the three associations Zhang Pan, Kong Youde, and Zhang Bang were each equipped with a thousand dragon cavalry, and they did not use them in the battle.

After learning about Zhang Keda's formation, Zhang Pan and others immediately analyzed the path that Daishan's troops would take to retreat.

The infantry must have been too late, Kong Youde personally led [-] dragoons out, marched through Hongzuibao and Chengzitan, and went north quickly in a straight line to intercept Daishan.

The Ming army defending along the river also detected Jiannu's movements, Zhang Keda also made adjustments, and sent troops to rush eastward to block Jiannu's land retreat.

A big battle has kicked off again. Time and speed are the key to whether the blockade can be successfully blocked before the establishment of slaves.

If Jiannu wanted to retreat lightly, the Ming army would have no time to intercept them.

But Daishan was injured and couldn't stand the bumps immediately; coupled with the scuffle with the Ming army, there were many wounded soldiers to carry.These factors have seriously slowed down the speed of slavery, making this war inevitable.

.....................

Arrows from the Mongols above the city rained down like rain, and the Mongol soldiers below the city responded fiercely with arrows.

The offensive and defensive battle of Glejurgen City is still going on, and this is the third day of the siege.Faced with Oba's desperate resistance, the Mongolian coalition forces have shown signs of fatigue, and the simple equipment such as the ladders they built have almost been completely destroyed.

Behind the formation of the Mongolian Allied Forces, the Ming Army is ready to go, and they are also ready to go, and it is the Jalut Department of the Inner Kharkha Alliance.

"It's a waste of time." Man Gui reached out and took out the grass stick in his mouth, spit out the chewed grass clippings forcefully, looked up at the sun in the sky, and said impatiently: "After noon, we will change, the night is long and dreamy." , can't delay any longer."

Hu Dawei nodded in agreement. The Mongolian coalition forces wanted to show their efforts, but the siege was really bad, which made people anxious and depressed.

The Ming army had already led the Mongolian coalition forces once, and gave them an extra day.It can be seen that the progress of the siege is still annoying.

Fortunately, the Mongolian coalition forces followed the Ming army's suggestion and filled up all the trenches on the south gate of Gelejurgen City, paving the way for the Ming army's attack.

While the generals of the Ming army kept looking up at the sky and waiting, the Mongolian allied forces retreated, leaving behind many corpses that were too late to recover.

This time, Lin Dan Khan did not go on an expedition himself. He sent the Extraordinary Minister Sirhunak Dulen, and mobilized Shanyin Chahar and Shannan Chahar, who were the main force of the Chahar Department.

It's also fortunate that Lin Danhan didn't come, otherwise this face would really be embarrassing.It was such a small city that was not too tall or strong, and it couldn't survive the siege day and night.

Oba on the top of the city breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the siege equipment of the Mongolian coalition forces was almost destroyed, he felt that he was more confident in defending the city.

"Ming Army?!" Horqin Baylor Zaisangbuhe's eyes widened, and he lost his voice.

The Ming army has been stationed far away from the city, without even raising a banner.The intention is also simple, if you want to hit Hou Jin Yuanbing by surprise.

And although Auba and the others have the advantage of being commanding in the city, they are so far away and they don't have binoculars.They just found it strange, but they didn't judge that it was Daming's army.

Now, the Ming army spread their banners and slowly approached from far and near, which inevitably shocked Auba and others.

With bright helmets and black masks covering their faces, accompanied by the sound of war drums, the Ming army exuded a strong murderous aura, and approached the city step by step.

Auba swallowed hard, and said with force of composure: "Without siege equipment, are the Ming soldiers monkeys who can climb the city wall?"

Zaisangbuhe frowned tightly, for some reason, he felt ominous in his heart.He blinked, stepped back quietly, called his son Wu Keshan, and whispered.

After listening to his father's instructions, Wu Keshan still hesitated, but under his father's stare, he reluctantly retreated from the top of the wall, turned around and left.

The Ming army lined up outside the range of bows and arrows on the city. The Zalut tribe sent some strong Mongolian soldiers with wooden shields to cooperate with the Ming army, while the other troops stood in formation and prepared to attack the city.

As soon as the sound of the drums changed, the battle formation of the Ming army moved forward, and the arrows from the city also shot down.

Blocking, blocking, the Mongolian soldiers used wooden shields to block the arrows, covering the advance of the Ming army.

Ang'an, the leader of the Zarut tribe, obeyed the orders of the generals of the Ming army and sent archers to line up on the two wings of the Ming army to fight back with bows and arrows.
