Chapter 375: Refusal to send troops, Sichuan and Zhejiang fell

The battle outside Shenyang continued, and although the Sichuan army was brave, there were no reinforcements, and now they were hungry and tired, and the balance of victory was tilting in favor of the latter Jinfang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Nurhachi looked at the casualties of his Eight Banners with a heartache, and then immediately made a decision, sent Li Yongfang to buy the gunners in the Ming Dynasty army, moved the cannons on Shenyang City, and desperately fired fiercely at the place where the Sichuan army camp and the chief soldier Chen Ce was, and sent the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry to attack from the west flank.

At this time, the generals of the Sichuan army, such as Zhou Dunji and Qin Bangping, were killed in battle, and only Zhou Shilu and others led a few sergeants and retreated to the Zhejiang camp garrison in the south of the Hunhe River. Seeing the fighters, Nurhachi personally commanded the army, pursued the victory, quickly crossed the Hunhe River, and surrounded the Zhejiang battalion. When the Zhejiang battalion and the Sichuan battalion joined forces to fight against the Eight Banners, although they were attacked from all sides, they could not see the slightest retreat from the faces of the soldiers of the two battalions, and they all used their strong fighting spirit to meet the swarming enemy.

The war has become a scorching trend, and this is the first army in Liaodong that can compete with the soldiers of the Eight Banners, except for the killing army. However, the current situation of the Ming army is not optimistic, and Tong Zhonghua, the chief officer of the Sichuan and Zhejiang Troops, is not only commanding the battle, but also looking in the direction of Liaoyang City. sighed with worry in his heart: If the reinforcements don't come again, I'm afraid that my remaining 3,000 brothers will be martyred outside Shenyang!

And at this moment in Liaoyang City, the smoke of the war seems to have come here with the wind, and everyone is looking at a bloody man kneeling down in horror. They all knew this person, and this person was Liu Hong, the general who went to rescue Tong Zhonghua, the chief soldier of Shenyang City.

At this moment, this seven-foot-tall man knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "Lord Jingluo, the last general only came to the edge of the Hunhe River with the large army, and the city of Shenyang had already fallen. But who knew that there were too many military horses in Jiannu, and the black pressure was about 100,000, and the brothers were surrounded at this moment. Most of the Sichuan army had been killed at this time, and the remaining soldiers, led by Zhou Shilu, were together with our Zhejiang soldiers, but they were surrounded by Jiannu. The last general estimated that the artillery fire of the Zhejiang soldiers under General Tong had been exhausted, and Chief Officer Chen had also been killed! Therefore, General Tong sent the last man to ask for help, and asked the adults to send troops and horses to the rescue quickly, if it is delayed, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out!"

The man has tears and does not flick, in the face of this Liu Hong who cried like a three-year-old doll, Yuan Yingtai, the Liaodong Economic Strategy, said to Liu Hong with a straight face: "As soon as Tong Zhonghua left Liaoyang City with his front foot, the official sent Jiang Bi to the rescue, Shenyang City has been lost, why does he still attack without authorization, is he taking the official's military order as a deaf ear?" If you act according to the orders of your own officer, why should you fall into such a dangerous situation"?

As soon as Yuan Tingtai finished saying this, the generals in the room couldn't help frowning. At the moment, saving people is like fighting fires, what are you still talking about here, who is right and who is wrong? Tong Zhonghua and Chen Ce's soldiers and horses together are six or seven thousand people, and in the face of more than ten times the enemy's attack, any further delay will inevitably be the annihilation of the whole army!

Liu Hong didn't expect this Lord Jinglu to say such a thing, but he was worried about the safety of his own adult brother, so he could only continue to plead: "My lord, that Jiang Bi supported the troops to the Hunhe River to watch and not help, and sat back and watched the Zhejiang soldiers and Jiannu fight alone!" Adult this ......"!

"Alright, don't say it again!" Yuan Yingtai, who looked impatient, interrupted Liu Hong's words, and then continued: "As early as when Shenyang was trapped, this official had already sent General Wang Shike to Shenyang with 5,000 soldiers and horses to come to Shenyang's rescue. But who knew that the chieftain Nurhachi was cunning and unusual, and they ambushed elite soldiers in Humayu between Liaoyang and Shenyang, and annihilated all of Wang Shike's 5,000 men and horses. According to the current situation of the war, it is no longer possible to send a single soldier, the enemy is outnumbered, and if more reinforcements are sent, it will fall into a heavy siege again. The Liaodong army can't die in this battle, you immediately go back to pass on the military order of this official, let Tong Zhong return to Liaoyang as soon as possible, and this official will definitely punish him for the crime of disobeying the military order"!

Looking at Yuan Yingtai's dark face, and hearing the purple tone of Lord Jingluo, Liu Hong, who was reluctant to send reinforcements, immediately kowtowed. When he raised his head again, he continued to cry despite the bright red hanging on his forehead: "Please send rescuers to Lord Jingluo!" Tong and his brothers are now hanging by a thread! The last general is here to kowtow to you, send a rescuer, my lord!"

And Yuan Yingtai, the Liaodong Economic Strategy, immediately reprimanded in a tone that did not question: "No! There must be no more troops! It was He Tong and Chen who attacked without permission in disregard of military orders, so why bother to take the lives of other soldiers"?

At this moment, Zhang Quan, who was sitting on the side, stood up suddenly, pointed at Yuan Yingtai's nose and roared: "Is this the courage of your Lord Yuan to go out in three ways to level Jiannu in one fell swoop?" Seeing that your subordinates are under siege, how can you be so bold and unwilling to save you? You can't be afraid of the enemy's ambush, so you don't send reinforcements. If you don't dare to fight against Jiannu, it is better to try your best to defend like Xiong Tingbi, why bother to speak in front of the emperor and colleagues in the court? Lower your high head, Lord Yuan, take a good look at the blood on the head of this General Liu Hong in front of Liu, this is the most direct accusation of the front-line soldiers against you Yuan Jingluo's move"!

It stands to reason that a patrol imperial history is just a seven-rank petty official, and Yuan Yingtai, who is a Liaodong economic strategy, is the right imperial history, a squire in the military department, and a dignified third-grade important member. However, this Zhang Quan was an official sent by the imperial court to supervise himself, so his words Yuan Yingtai could not choose to ignore them like he did with military attachés, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart and patiently explained: "Now that Shenyang City has been lost, if you disperse your forces and be broken by Jiannu, the situation in Liaodong will be chaotic!" It's not that the official doesn't save him when he sees death, but he has to do it for the sake of the overall situation! Lord Zhang, in fact, you don't know about this line of affairs, and this official is responsible for the emperor and the court!"

Yuan Yingtai, who had finished persuading him to follow the imperial history, turned his head and said in his extremely cold voice: "Liu Hong, you go back immediately and bring Tong Zhonghua back, and the official will say it one last time, the reinforcements must not be sent out to save people!" This is Jiannu's strategy, encircling the point to send reinforcements, vainly trying to eliminate the living forces of Liaodong in the field battle, and this official must not let them succeed! At this time, I was blindly sending reinforcements, and I was going to die! ”

And Zhang Quan, the inspector of the imperial history, suddenly laughed, and it could be seen from his face that he was angry with his smile. Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Zhang Quan still ignored the official etiquette, and pointed at Yuan Yingtai, who was also puzzled, with his hand and shouted: "Sending reinforcements is equivalent to sending death!" Lord Yuan's strategy really impressed the lower officials! So according to your Lord Yuan's meaning, you are ready to open your eyes and watch Tong Zhonghua and them being surrounded by Jiannu soldiers and horses, and being killed one by one, do you really bear it? The soldiers who are loyal to the imperial court have died on the battlefield because of you, what face will you have to meet their relatives and family members in the future, Lord Yuan?"

Yuan Yingtai is a good-looking person, and it took a lot of effort for Zhang Quan's choking just now to suppress his anger. And Zhang Quan, who seemed to him to be an inch by inch, was very hateful, and then said with an angry face: "Please don't say it again!" This reinforcement will never be sent! The military and political affairs of Liaodong are under the jurisdiction of this official, no matter who it is, it is useless to say anything"!

With a "snap", Zhang Quan, the inspector of the imperial history, was so angry that he slapped the table, and he couldn't help but shout: "Lord Yuan, you yourself are afraid of the enemy like a tiger, afraid of death and cowardice, how can you serve the people in such a way to govern the army?" How to act, how can you not make your subordinates chill? This time......"!

At this moment, Yuan Yingtai turned a deaf ear, and in the end, he simply walked out, ignoring the red-faced Yushi Zhang Quan. Losing Shenyang City is already enough for him Yuan Yingtai to drink a pot, and if there are waves again, the result is that he Yuan Yingtai can't afford it. With this kind of thinking of doing less and making fewer mistakes, Liaoyang's reinforcements were still not sent out in the end.

The battle at the Hunhe River in Shenyang was nearing its end, and the chief military officer Tong Zhonghua hoped that Liaoyang would send rescue troops, but he could not help. can only lead the rest of his subordinates to wield a big sword, relying on the brave battle of the soldiers, and finally in the shadow of Houjin's great light sword, he fought a bloody way, and miraculously broke out of the encirclement.

Looking at the few tired soldiers around him, Tong Zhonghua finally had time to wipe the blood on his face, leaving only hatred and helplessness with no one to help. Alas, the time has come to retreat, and if we continue to fight, the result will be certain death! Just as he was about to leave the battlefield, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "General Tong"!

If others call him Tong Zhonghua at this time, he will definitely not be able to turn back, but he is familiar with this voice, it is his deputy general Qi Jin, the son of Qi Jiguang's second brother Qi Jiming, the two armies of Sichuan and Zhejiang have been together for three years, and his fierce combat style is influenced by this person of the Qi family's army! The current situation is critical, and the opportunity to retreat is fleeting, Tong Zhonghua couldn't help but say, "Hurry up, let's go together!" Why die here"?

And Qi Jin heard Tong Zhonghua say that he wanted to leave the battlefield, but he said to him with a resolute face: "I don't know if General Tong has thought about it, we have fought so far that countless soldiers have been killed and wounded, and once we leave the battlefield this time, won't it become an escape?" Even if we really succeed in escaping back to Liaoyang, we will definitely not survive, and in the end, we will have to implicate our family members and discredit our family for the crime of fleeing from the battlefield! will also be scolded by thousands of people, spit on by thousands of people! As the so-called Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why bother to return the body of the horse leather! The mission of a soldier is to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, defend the land and protect the people. If you can die on the battlefield today, it will also be the best destination for you and my soldiers! Master Tong, wouldn't it be nice to go to Huangquan with all the brothers? Why don't you fight with the Eight Banners sergeant again, so that the emperor and the court can kill a few more scourges"!

Hearing this, Tong Zhonghua couldn't help but nodded, so he gave up the idea of escaping for his life, and entered the encirclement with Qi Jin, until he was severely injured and fell off the horse! And this time, Nurhachi personally led the Eight Banners to attack Shenyang City, and the battle was over, except for a few sergeants led by General Zhou Shilu who successfully broke through, the rest of the generals began to descend from the chief officer, and all died heroically!
