"Two generals, let's swear to set off." Under Jinzhou City, Dongfeng hunts and hunts! Li Dingguo said to Wang Yanchen and Liu Zhaoji that although he is now in the limelight and his strength surpasses these two generals, he is still modest and prudent, worthy of the demeanor of a famous general.
"Good!" After Wang Yanchen and Liu Zhaoji met, they were also very useful, and both of them were loyal to the country, and there were no selfish thoughts in their hearts, so this meeting also nodded together.
Then there were soldiers and soldiers who slaughtered cattle and sheep and other sacrifices to worship the military flag.
Then, before sending troops, they sent people to read about the various crimes since the rise of the Manchu Dynasty, including five times of entering the fortress, and the blood debts that killed millions of Liao people after the Manchu Dynasty occupied Liaodong!
Even during the reading process, many Ming troops cried bitterly! You must know that many of these people were from Liao people, and thanks to Nurhachi, the murderer, almost all of them were left in the family who were killed, so this is a bloody vengeance with the dog Danzi...
So after the reading was finished like this, it was really morale like a rainbow, and the dog was immortal! Therefore, after mobilizing the enthusiasm, the whole army set off.
Then the direction they sent troops this time was from west to east, from Jinzhou city to east, and then proceeded all the way, they can first take down Liaoyang, the capital of the dog, and finally they can take down the capital of Dazi, Shengjing! (That's the original Ming's Shenyang).
After the three main soldiers have completed their oaths, they will officially set off. From Jinzhou City to the east, it is already an important area of Liaodong. Originally, these were all within the sphere of influence of the Dazi, but now...
With the decline of Tarzi’s power, this area has long been under the control of the Ming army, and there are already immigrants from Henan and other places. Therefore, their 20,000 army is very safe to walk here, just like an armed parade. Like!
Jinzhou is about three hundred miles away from Liaoyang, and then went all the way like this. After walking for more than ten days, I saw Liaoyang far away.
And I have to say that now the power of Goudazi has really declined to the extreme. Originally, Liaoyang, as the second largest city in the Manchu Dynasty, absolutely needed to be guarded by heavy soldiers, but now
When the 20,000 army marched to a place 30 miles away from Liaoyang, no trace of the Qing soldiers was found, until they arrived at Changning Fort, Changding Fort, the two military forts, which are more than 20 miles away from Liaoyang. To the sparse Qing army sentry ride.
Changning Fort, Changding Fort, the two military forts were originally built by the Ming Dynasty and belonged to the defense level military fortresses, but now... In these two forts, there are only more than 200 Qing army guards, a single military fort. There are only more than a hundred soldiers! And for such a small number of people, for the 20,000 army, it is not even enough to stuff their teeth!
In other words, the garrison of the dog here is more of a beacon tower. Therefore, the 20,000 troops don’t have to do any offensive postures. They just “cleaned up” them when they passed by. Multiple Qing troops have been wiped out!
Even after the first battle, which is not the first battle, the three general soldiers were still very emotional... According to the location of the two big forts, they are actually very important to Liaoyang and can be used as a barrier to the east! But now, there are only so many people in such an important place. It seems that the strength of the dog tart is weaker than imagined!
Even after taking the two big forts with no effort, these three generals are full of pride... Haha, the number of slaves is indeed exhausted! In other words, the establishment of slavery is always the champion! As a barbarian outside the Great Wall, he wants to steal the luck of China! But now...
Of course, before launching an attack on Liaoyang, you still need to take a rest. So after taking the two big forts, the 20,000 army rested in the fort for one night, and then continued to set off early the next morning.
And at this time, after receiving the news that the Ming army sent troops, there were already several leaders of Mongolian tribes who came with soldiers and horses to help the battle (the number ranged from a few hundred to a thousand).
And the fastest way to come was the original Huang Taiji's old husband and hardcore ally Korqin Department.
However, since the Horqin Tribe stabbed Huang Taiji from the back, the two sides are no longer allies. So this time, the leader of the Horqin Tribe, the Bolzigit, was the first to arrive... and also Bringing nearly a thousand Mongolian soldiers, it can be seen that he is more anxious than Daming to see the destruction of slavery!
After the three generals met, they were still very happy... because this is the general trend. Every time the Manchu entered the customs, these Mongols were accomplices, but now? But they all turned their guns, and they all rushed to deal with Man Qing, so the general trend is now, can slaves not perish
Then after another day of walking, I finally came to Liaoyang City.
After coming here, I can finally see the weather of some enemy countries. Not only are there sentries from the Qing army outside the city, but several city gates in Liaoyang have also been raised high. Obviously, the Qing army in the city is ready for battle. .
But even so, you can still see the decline of the Qing army. The number of Qing troops defending Liaoyang looks like one or two thousand people. How many people are there in such an important city? (When the Ming Army defended Liaoyang, the highest peak reached 130,000!)
And are these still the Qing army that used to claim to be the best in the world for riding and shooting? All of them looked very miserable, all of them looked yellow and thin, as if they hadn't eaten enough for a few years! Including the armors of these Qing soldiers, they are no longer as bright as they used to be, and even many Qing troops who guard the city only have a pair of leather armor. The expensive iron armor of the past is rare.
Of course, this is the case, it is also normal. The reason why the Manchu group can rise is relying on conquests, that is, professional robbers! But now that I can't grab anything, and I haven't been able to grab anything for several years! Then their weakness can be imagined.
It is as if they started to go downhill since the eleventh year of Chongzhen. That year they were unable to make ends meet when entering the customs (100,000 people at the time of entering the customs, but only more than 30,000 returned, and so many people died in the battle. Will there be any gains from such a war? ?), including the subsequent Battle of Songshan, it was even more miserable. It can be said that Da Ming took a lot of things (armor knives and guns on the battlefield, rice grains, etc.) in turn.
Even if it was the last time to gather strength and go to Goryeo to grab something, it was blocked by Da Ming, and finally returned in vain. So after such a few times of consumption, can they still have any strength
And seeing the terrible opponents of the past, but today has fallen into this look, the three generals are full of pride, isn't this called this moment, that moment
So next, the three generals all gave orders to their subordinates: "Erlangs, this is the last battle against the dog Taroko. Make a contribution, just at this time! Give me a charge!"
Moreover, there are exactly three gates in Liaoyang, so it is also very well distributed. The three main soldiers attacked one gate each, blooming on three sides, and pointed to the core!
So in the next moment, the soldiers were divided into three groups and attacked together from the three gates! Including the Mongols who came to help the battle, these Mongols were not good at attacking the city (most of them were ring-legged), but it was still possible to shoot arrows under the city and beat the side drum.
Even some people who can speak Manchu use words to tease the Qing army in the city... They all look like this, so what are they going to do? Just surrender early, haha!
And after such a scene, after seeing the Qing soldiers in the city, their noses were almost crooked... They cursed these Mongolian Tartars as shameless! When they were strong, they all came to cheer their stinky feet! But now, once they are weak, they will come to the ground. Obviously these Mongolian tartares are not good things!
However, after the war began, no matter how much resentment they had, there was no time to express them... Soon they were beaten all around in a hurry!
Of course, the reason for this is also very obvious. With more than a thousand troops, it is completely a fantasy to resist a three-way attack by an army of 20,000! And not to mention that on the one hand morale is like a rainbow, on the other hand it is dying! So the outcome of the war is no longer known.
Then I have to say that Li Dingguo is worthy of being a famous national hero and a famous general in the world! In less than half an hour, the North City Gate that he attacked was the first to be breached!
Then the Ming army rushed to the north gate city wall like dumplings, firmly occupying a position! And after the Ming army’s four-sided sacred animal flag was inserted into the city wall of Liaoyang, the Ming army was full of joy!
Needless to say, it was like knocking down a domino, and there was a chain reaction. The cheers of the Ming army were heard by the Qing army, but it was like a fate... The North Gate was breached so quickly, then Is it necessary to continue fighting
So soon, the remaining two city gates were breached one after another, including the last Qing army who had nowhere to go. After seeing the general situation is gone, they all dropped their swords and spears and surrendered! Please come down on your knees!
Even among them, even their highest officer, a Gushan Ezhen who was in charge of defending Liaoyang, actually surrendered with his swords and guns down! So this transformation...
Including Li Dingguo and others, after clearing the battlefield and capturing this Gu Shan Erzhen, they are still very happy... Never before in history has a high-ranking official like Gu Shan Erzhen surrendered! Only the captives did not surrender! But now
Not only did this solid mountain really surrender, but the ordinary Qing army below surrendered even more! It's all surrendered by one Niulu and one Niulu!
For example, there were six Niu Lu, 1,800 people in charge of defending the city here, but in addition to about six to seven hundred people who died on the spot, all the other more than 1,000 people actually surrendered... Such an army has no intention of fighting...
Even Yang Shanlu is not here yet. If he were here, he would laugh three times... This is the process of the Eight Banners soldiers who only knows how to walk the birds in the tea house, which is the kind of later generations, has been advanced three hundred years. ! Let their ancestors three hundred years ago also infected this kind of disease!
Of course, after the defeat of Liaoyang, the Ming army did not immediately start pulling out, but held a memorial ceremony!
Because the significance of winning Liaoyang is too great! As the second largest city in the Qing Dynasty and the gateway to the north of Shengjing, it has extraordinary significance!
Originally, according to the estimation of the Manchu Dynasty, it could resist for two or three days... But now? Was it beaten after only half a day? And almost surrendered together from top to bottom? So this kind of battle has extraordinary significance.
Even after Daming's military flag was flying high above the Liaoyang city, the three general soldiers formally held a memorial ceremony outside the northern city gate of Liaoyang!
Because just 21 years ago, there was a bloody battle here! At that time, the Eight Banners army, with the power of conquering Shenyang, tried their best to attack Liaoyang!
At that time, the Liaodong economic strategy, Yuan Yingtai, immediately mobilized all reinforcements, withdrew from the Hupi Station and Fengjibao soldiers back to Liaoyang for defense. Within five days, they gathered a 130,000 army, including himself, patrolling Zhang Quan, the commander-in-chief. Hou Shilu, Li Bingcheng, Liang Zhongshan, Jiang Bi, Zhu Wanliang, etc.
It's a pity that Yuan Yingtai is loyal but incompetent, but even so, after several battles with the Tartars, after seeing the general situation is gone, he resolutely defended the city and fought with Tartar to the last moment! And when the last city was broken, he didn't run away. Instead, he hanged himself to death while wearing the Fang Fang sword and official seal, showing the integrity of a literati.
Including several other general soldiers, most of them died in battle. No one surrendered. Under Liaoyang city, all the blood was spilled, but what about now
Therefore, the three general soldiers read an emotional sacrificial essay, and the army is full of crying...
And beside them, there were hundreds of captives kneeling to commemorate the heroes who died in the war!
After the worship was over, some heinous prisoners were killed. The three soldiers wiped away their tears and waved their hands vigorously: "Kirō, keep going! Conquer Shengjing City, it’s hard to die. Brethren revenge!"
"Kill, kill, kill!" The shouts of 20,000 soldiers shook the world!
So next, the 20,000 Ming army and the four to five thousand Mongolian'servant army' marched bravely together, toward the last stronghold of the Manchu, which is their capital Shengjing, and went straight! (End of this chapter)
