Section XIV
In the autumn of 1685 A.D., Taizu personally conscripted, the army entered Liaozhong, the Qing general Cai Yurong and the battle, defeated, then Liaoyang, was a battle, beheaded 100,000, Dingkou went to seven out of ten, the Liaohe River was red, and the prefect Yao Qisheng was martyred.
The crazy massacre was carried out for a whole day and a night, after the Han army was exhausted, the soldiers were relieved and sealed the knife, and when the corpses were collected in the morning, there were only more than 40,000 old and weak women and children left in the entire Liaoyang City, and the adult strong men and women were almost all killed by the Han army.
Lin Feng spent a lot of effort to reorganize the army, after the crazy killing, the mood of the army was obviously a little out of control, the regular troops of the Han army because of the long-term training, the situation was a little better, the military order urged several times to withdraw to the barracks under the order of the officer, but those militia were obviously not easy to greet, after the knife order was issued, there were many people who ignored it, and still clashed and set fire in Liaoyang City, and finally Lin Feng had to send two battalions of musketeers to expel the whole city, after shooting dozens of people, They were driven back to the camp.
After a day of hastily repairing, the Han army, at the urging of the officers, pulled out the camp and went out to fight, abandoned the hard-fought city, and quickly retreated in the direction of Jinzhou.
Since the day before yesterday, the messengers sent by Ma Ying have rushed to the camp in waves to inform Lin Feng of the current military situation.
With the return of the main force of the Eight Banners, and the sudden participation of the Horqin Division, the current situation is very unfavorable to the Han army, until this time, the strategic intentions of the Qing army were fully presented - when Lin Feng's troops besieged Liaoyang, the cavalry brigade of the Qing court's Heilongjiang general Sabu Su rushed to Zhelimu, and after the Mongolian iron cavalry of the Horqin prince Bur Yagma, 40,000 troops marched along the Liuhe River, and at this moment, the Han army's Lin Feng troops and Ma Yingbu were separated by Shenyang from a south and a north of hundreds of miles. It was already about to be divided by the Manchurian and Mongolian coalition forces.
Since the day before yesterday, the three cavalry brigades of the Sixth Army of the Han Army have successively engaged in sentinel battles with the vanguard of the Manchurian and Mongolian coalition forces, and the losses are not small, the enemy army is besieging on all sides, and the main force of the Sixth Army of the Cavalry is intended, Ma Ying had no choice but to order the second brigade of the Sixth Army of the Cavalry Zhao Yingkui to block from Shuangmiaoji, and he led the main force to cross the Liuhe River, and at the same time Pegasus informed Lin Feng and asked for instructions.
Yesterday morning, Lin Feng gave an urgent order to the Ma Ying Department of the Sixth Army of the Han Army's cavalry, ordering the main force of the Sixth Army to retreat slowly south towards Beining, and be sure to entangle the enemy as much as possible to gain time for the Han army's brigade.
The autumn day is getting higher and higher, the cold wind is bleak, the rumbling iron hooves have broken through the quiet Liaoshen land, the steel torrent is rolling southward, the musket brigade is in front, the artillery brigade is in the middle, the cavalry and the militia are behind, and nearly 60,000 troops are desperately marching in the direction of Jinzhou. Lin Feng's army was extremely embarrassed at the moment, after giving up Liaoyang, Lin Feng immediately abandoned all the baggage that had nothing to do with the battle, and at this moment the whole army was lightly armed, running all the way naked, as if it had just fought a big defeat.
The faces of the generals of the Chinese army were extremely tired, everyone's faces were scorched, their lips were chapped, and after walking for so long, everyone's throats were thirsty and smoking, but no one dared to persuade the lord to rest for a while. Lin Feng rode on the war horse very unnaturally, in the past few days, people have not taken off their armor and the horse has been running wildly, his buttocks and two strands are grinding flesh and blood, although the guards have cushioned cotton for themselves, but between gallops, he still grins in pain. At this moment, he rode Rick on three horses with Mu Tianyan, chief of staff of the Guards, and Yulin Zhonglang, holding a large map in his hand, discussing the military situation while marching.
"It seems that we still lost, I expected that this Korqin's Bulyagma had already hooked up with the Tartars, and they behaved ambiguously before, in fact, they wanted to paralyze us carelessly!" Lin Feng was so pained that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Bulyagema, this old bastard, Lao Tzu can't spare him!" ”
Mu Tianyan smiled bitterly, "Now that I think about it, it's really dangerous - fortunately, we fought hard to defeat Liaoyang, otherwise we would be trapped under the fortified city at this moment, and we would have no basis for advancing and retreating, so we could only watch the Tartars and the Mongols eat us one by one!" He wiped a handful of cold sweat and sighed with palpitations, "It's really dangerous! ”
"That Cai Yurong is really kind, his grandmother's life is going to drag Lao Tzu, tsk...... It's amazing, it's amazing!! After many days, Lin Fengyou felt sorry for Cai Yurong, "Alas, if he can surrender, we ......"
Before he finished speaking, a cavalryman in the rear formation shouted and ran all the way, rushing to the Chinese army to report, "Your Highness, the rear army scouts came to report and found a Qing army cavalry, about 1,000 horses, it seems to be a chasing soldier from Shenyang, Lord Wang Zhongxiao asked the lord, is it to face the battle?!" ”
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then looked left and right, and said with a smile, "See, in fact, the Eight Banners are also anxious, there are already a few bird soldiers in Shenyang City, and they dare to send people to chase them, I really don't know whether to live or die!" He banged on the saddle and laughed, "General Ma Ying is now desperately dragging Sabusu, and this Dakma is also trying to drag me desperately, this battle is really getting more and more interesting!" ”
All the officers laughed together, but Rick still had a gloomy face and said coldly, "The enemy just wants to delay time, if our army stops fighting, they will definitely retreat to avoid the battle; If our army ignores them, they will continue to harass the guerrillas," he turned his head and bowed to Lin Feng, "Your Majesty, let me deal with these flies!" ”
Lin Feng hesitated slightly, then nodded and said, "Be careful!" ”
Rick pulled the reins of his horse, turned his horse's head and followed the herald to gallop towards the rear, the sound of hooves was not far away, and the musket brigade of the vanguard suddenly scattered in formation, and the front team did not know what was happening, so it actually stopped advancing, while the rear team still swarmed forward, and for a time the front and back were blocked, and the chaos was in a mess. Lin Feng was furious, stood up and scolded sharply, "What's the matter? - What are you doing?! ”
In the distance, the musket brigade cracked layer by layer, and several horses flew in, Lin Feng stared at it, and was suddenly taken aback, and shouted loudly, "Ji Yun? What are you doing here?! ”
Wang Shirong rode his horse and galloped, his face was covered with beads of sweat at the moment, and after a while, he ran to the front of Lin Feng, and said breathlessly, "...... Lord...... Cough...... Ahem......"
Lin Feng was startled, hurriedly grabbed his arm, and asked in a trembling voice, "Could it be ...... Could it be that Beijing is at fault?! ”
Wang Shirong gasped, shook his head and said, "No...... Fei Ye ......" he swallowed hard, barely relieving his strength, "Lord, General Pei Gong ordered me to come to face the military situation - in the middle of last month, the Horqin tribes suddenly issued a conscription order, and the nomadic and strong men everywhere gathered towards the king's tent, and then before it was finished, Horqin suddenly entered Suiyuan and Chahar, and engaged with the Xuanhua Zhao Mongolian Department and the Ningcheng Wang Dahai Department, Pei Gong was afraid that Horqin would send troops and horses to sneak across the Great Wall and attack Beijing, Pei Gong planned to transfer the Third Army of Shunde Liu Jianwei to the Great Wall to deploy - such a large army mobilization did not dare to be arbitrary, The special lowly came to ask for instructions! ”
The Han army system, each army general has its own defense area, without Lin Feng's permission, the army is never allowed to move without authorization, otherwise it will be a rebellion, so when Lin Feng is not there, although the war is critical, Zhou Peigong can not move the army, and he has no choice but to travel thousands of miles to ask for instructions. Lin Feng understood in his heart, but he smiled lightly on his face, "Pei Gong is too pedantic, I ordered before I set out on the expedition, Pei Gong is in charge of the army, Jin Qing is in charge of the government, this matter is related to the life and death of my Han, will I not agree?" He shook his head and smiled, "Pei Gong is really worried!" ”
Wang Shirong didn't dare to agree, but smiled bitterly and was speechless.
"How's the battle going over there? What is the strength of the enemy forces everywhere?! ”
"Returning to the lord, the Mongolian army that attacked Zhao Mongolia was about 20,000 people, and the enemy army that attacked Wang Pingliao's department was about 15,000 or 6,000 people, although the strength exceeded our army, but it was hastily recruited into an army, and it was not the opponent of my Han elite soldiers, when he set off from his ministers, General Zhao Guangyuan clearly relied on the Xuanhua city wall, and secretly sent the cavalry of the Chahar Department to sneak attack the enemy's back, and under the front and rear attacks, he had already won two battles, annihilated nearly 4,000 Mongolian cavalry, and beheaded a son-in-law of Buryagma, As for General Wang Dahai, he also urgently transferred the children of the Cao family brothers in Liaodong to the city to assist in the defense, and also transported fifteen red-clothed cannons from Dai Zidai, the chief administrator of the superintendent, although there was no big victory, Ningcheng was definitely a rock of peace!! ”
This is the only exciting news at the moment, Lin Feng smiled, "Good job!" He thought for a moment and said to Wang Shirong, "I'll send someone to give Liu Lusi an order immediately!" - But Ji Yun saddles the horse and is tired, so don't go back for the time being, follow the action of our Chinese army, and praise the military affairs with Heming! ”
