Chapter 327: The Heartless Ancestor Dashou
In the territory of Jinzhou, sentry horses wearing armor and holding order flags kept coming and going, and information from the front came frequently.
In the area of Rufeng Mountain in the south of Jinzhou City, the Ming army was besieged by a large number of Qing army horses at night, and the forward army was frequently intercepted and harassed by the Qing cavalry.
Hong Chengchou intended to woo Wu Sangui and strongly recommended him as the forward general, and Zhu Cihong also wanted to see how many catties Wu Sangui had, so he agreed to his invitation.
Everyone else has no opinion, and takes it for granted, Wu Sangui just became the chief soldier of Ningyuan this year, and he is the youngest of the several general soldiers, this kind of tiring work is of course made him, a newcomer, do it, this is a potential rule in all walks of life.......
After Yuan Chonghuan was killed, the Guanning Iron Cavalry has been in charge of Zu Dashou, but at that time it was not called Guanning Iron Cavalry.
Chongzhen eight years of the Central Plains when the flow of the Kou was serious, Zu Dashou's servant Zu Kuan led the troops into the pass to suppress the Kou, the name of the ancestral army of good warfare spread in the pass, to Chongzhen nine years, some people began to "Guanning Iron Cavalry" to call the ancestral army led by Zu Dashou with the family as the main force.
Wu Sangui is Zu Dashou's nephew, who has followed his uncle Zu Dashou all the year round, and has won Zu Dashou's love, and has also mastered a lot of Guanning iron horses.
After Wu Sangui sent his troops, he soon came to the battle report, defeated a large number of Qing cavalry in Rufeng Mountain, and beheaded more than 200 ranks.
The first battle was won, everyone was excited, and Hong Chengchou suggested that Wu Sangui be listed as the first merit to motivate the generals.
Zhu Cihong almost rolled his eyes, beheading 200 people can be listed as the first merit, this Hong Chengchou's pattern is too small, he didn't reply.
At this time, the news came from the night of the Tianwu Army, Huang Taiji personally led the Eight Banners army of more than 100,000 people, and was storming Jinzhou City, and there were a large number of Hongyi cannons in the Qing army, and there were no less than 100 guns.
Not long after, there was information from the front line that the Mongolian generals Wu Bashi, Nuomuqi and others in Jinzhou City conspired to act as an internal response, and were discovered by Zu Dashou and sent troops to exterminate them in time.
After hearing this, everyone had a false alarm, feeling that the situation in Jinzhou was very bad, and if the city of Jinzhou was broken, the situation in Liaodong would be greatly unfavorable to the Ming army.
Zhu Cihong immediately ordered the army to continue to advance, first destroying the Qing army in the Rufeng area, and then crossing the Xiaoling River to relieve the siege of Jinzhou.
Jinzhou City is north of Xiaoling River, is the bridgehead of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, for more than ten years, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji have personally led the army to besiege the city many times, but they have not been defeated.
The army wants to go to Jinzhou City to meet with Zu Dashou, must cross the Xiaoling River, and in the south of the Xiaoling River, there is also the fortress of Rufeng Mountain, where it is condescending, the middle peak is like a cover, the east and west twelve feet, the cliff has a sinus, the square is deep and the zhang Xu, the cold is like milk, it is the important place to hold Jinzhou, and it was captured by the Qing army not long ago.
After the forward general Wu Sangui received the order to attack Rufeng Mountain, he was in a big position for a while, but he didn't dare to disobey the order, so he had to order 20,000 Ning Yuan's troops to attack.
In the area of Rufeng Mountain is the blue flag led by Zierharang, Wu Sangui fought very hard, his descendants and soldiers were struggling to resist, the bravery of the Qing army woke up Wu Sangui like a stick, and once had the intention of retreating.
Just as he was pondering how to explain to the crown prince and Hong Chengchou after running away, Ning Yuanbing's pressure suddenly disappeared, and Zierharang actually ran first?
The sudden retreat of the Qing army made Wu Sangui very depressed, but he was still greatly relieved, at least this battle was a thrill, and if it was reported, it would be a victory.
Seeing that the situation of the Tartars was unknown, Wu Sangui was very cautious, and did not dare to raise troops to pursue, so he only sent a thousand men and horses to pretend to pursue, and once he found that something was wrong, he could calmly evacuate.
Although this battle was won a little inexplicably, Wu Sangui still sent people to return to the crown prince, and Rufeng Mountain won a big victory, and Jierharang was defeated and fled.
Thinking that this victory will greatly boost the morale of the Ming army, Hong Duchen will definitely be extremely satisfied with his performance this time, and finally live up to his support for himself.
Hong Chengchou was inexplicably excited when he learned of this, and at the same time he had deep doubts, the Qing army was treacherous and treacherous, and it must not be the conspiracy of the slave chief.
When several other general soldiers heard this, their thighs were swollen, and they secretly sighed that Wu Sangui, this kid, stepped on shit luck, and made such a great contribution in the first battle.
Zhu Cihong frowned, he is not the kind of person who admits that it is difficult to admit that others are excellent, he is puzzled, Huang Taiji knows that the army is coming, and the strategic location of Rufeng Mountain is extremely heavy, why only send this point of Qing army to defend it?
Feign defeat and retreat, let the Ming army pursue and then counterattack? Then he miscalculated, Wu Sangui is a very dog, and he won't rush in easily.
Let the Ming army cross the river with the power of victory and intercept it halfway? Or play an empty city plan, so that the suspicious generals of the Ming army dare not rush forward, and give them time to attack Jinzhou?
The most important thing in marching and fighting is to hide one's strategic intentions, to confuse the enemy, to mobilize the enemy to make him dizzy, so that the enemy can't figure out the north, and then use the real main force to sneak things up.
The time and place of the Songjin War in history have changed a lot, and Zhu Cihong has no advantage in foresight, so when he can't know the strategic intentions of the other party, he can only choose to fight steadily.
However, history tells him that Zu Dashou is very capable, and Jinzhou City was besieged for two years and was not lost, or after the complete defeat of the Ming army in the Songjin War, he had no choice but to surrender.
Outside the city of Jinzhou, the dense Qing army began to retreat, digging deep trenches outside the city, and surrounded the three layers in Jinzhou City and the outer three layers in the city for several circles.
In the camp of the Qing army hanging the Yellow Dragon Banner of the Ming Dynasty, some people went to the city of Jinzhou from time to time to persuade Zu Dashou to surrender, but there was no movement in the city of Jinzhou, and the soldiers defending the city should be busy with anything.
The face of Huang Taiji in the imperial camp was gloomy, this ancestor Dashou was too unauthentic, he had been persuaded to surrender for a few years, why didn't he show up?
When Chongzhen was four years old, Zu Dashou was ordered to build a city in the Daling River to defend Jinzhou, and when he repaired it for more than ten days, he didn't even finish repairing the wall battlements, and Huang Taiji led the army to surround him.
Zu Dashou closed the city gate, tentatively broke through several times without success, and the city ran out of food, and for a while people were panicked, Zu Dashou had to sit in the city, looking forward to reinforcements.
After carrying for ten days, the reinforcements did not come, Huang Taiji sent people to persuade him to surrender, Zu Dashou ran out of ammunition and decided to surrender, but he asked Huang Taiji to swear to the sky that he would not kill the generals and soldiers in the city, in order to show integrity, he also killed He Kegang, a general who would rather die than surrender.
Huang Taiji was overjoyed, happily agreed to him, and led many Baylor princes, princes and ministers to solemnly welcome Zu Dashou, and the two sides swore to the sky on the altar, almost worshipping the handle.
After the incident, Huang Taiji even kindly pulled Zu Dashou into the imperial camp, set up a banquet for Zu Dashou to celebrate, and also rewarded himself with a set of equipment such as a white horse, carved saddle, golden exquisite leather belt, and mink robe for Zu Dashou.
In a joyful atmosphere, Zu Dashou patted his chest and said, when I return to Jinzhou City, I should let you in and kill Shanhaiguan together!
Huang Taiji was very happy, and seemed to trust him very much, so he let him go back, and Jiannu was all waiting for the good news of Zu Dashou.
No one expected that after Zu Dashou went back, not only did he not open the gate of Jinzhou City, but also strengthened the city defense and always stuck to Jinzhou City.
The entire Manchu Qing Dynasty was all stunned, especially Huang Taiji, he didn't believe that Zu Dashou would be such a person at all, so he sent secret envoys to remind Zu Dashou five times, don't forget the agreement between the two of us, and quickly take Jinzhou City.
Zu Dashou only said that it was good, and he would definitely take the time, and at the same time as he said this, he also went out of the city many times to fight fiercely with the Qing army, sneak attacks, ambushes, and knocking on stuffy sticks to do everything.
Knowing that he was shabu-shabu, Huang Taiji was angry and ordered several times to storm Jinzhou, but after losing thousands of corpses of the Eight Banners Army, he failed to pry away a brick in Jinzhou City, and he angrily sent people to arrest all the clansmen of Zu Dashou and put them under house arrest.
I have to say that Huang Taiji's temper is very good, not only did he not kill Zu Dashou's clansmen, but also gave him quite generous treatment, among which Zu Dashou's eldest son Zu Zerun was also promoted to the Eight Banners Han Army Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen, which is equivalent to the flag owner, and Zu Dashou's other sons and nephews were also rewarded.
Huang Taiji has been working hard to recover Zu Dashou, has always treated his children and nephews with courtesy, and frequently wrote letters to Zu Dashou, asking him not to make trouble and fulfill his promise quickly.
From the four years of Chongzhen to the current twelve years of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji can be described as a bitter mouth, dead skin, but Zu Dashou is very cold, never showed up, birds do not bird him, do not miss the old love at all.
