Chapter 506: The First World War is Decided

When Li Yan set out from the middle and rear offices, he once asked his henchman Qin Songwang to lead a group of men and horses to sneak from the coastline and lurk behind the enemy in a roundabout way, which was a secret move in Chang Yu's plan, originally to ambush the Qing army when it retreated, or to sneak attack the enemy camp to surround Wei and save Zhao when it was tight.

But he thought it would take at least three or four days to implement this plan, but he didn't think it would be much earlier.

Dolgon's sudden surprise and attack on the mountain made him a little caught off guard and felt pressured, but at the same time, he also saw the warplane, so why not take this opportunity to fight the battle!

But the premise is that Qin Songwang's ambush has reached the vicinity of Ningyuan, which he is not sure of, after all, from the middle and back to Ningyuan, Qin Songwang's men and horses are mainly infantry, and they have to sneak from the wilderness path, and it is not known whether they can reach the ground this day and night.

So when he sent Li Yan out of the mountain to respond, he actually had no bottom in his heart, and to be honest, he was also gambling!

Fortunately, when Qin Songwang sent troops from the middle and rear periods, Li Yan once explained: "The soldiers are fast, the faster the better" plus they were born as thieves and soldiers as good at long-distance raids, after all, when they were chased and killed by officers and soldiers, it is not an exaggeration to say that the record of a hundred miles in one night was set.

But in order to hide people's eyes, Qin Songwang did not dare to be careless, and led his troops along the coastline, which was troublesome and laborious, and when Li Yan went out of Shandong to find them, they were still lurking and resting twenty miles south of Ningyuan.

After getting the military order, he hurriedly bypassed Ningyuan City for more than ten miles to the rear of the Qing army, and it was convenient to light a cigarette to report the news, and at the same time, he was also discovered by the spies on the periphery of the Qing army.

When Chang Yu saw the smoke rising, he knew that Li Yan was in place, and immediately sent a signal to Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui led the cavalry out of the city to paralyze the Qing army first, and led Li Yan to lead the troops to kill the Qing army's camp, taking advantage of the Qing army's panic to launch an attack......

Qin Songwang's men and horses braved the wind and cold day and night to hurry, and they did not rest for half an hour, in fact, they were already tired, this raid behind the enemy was really gritted their teeth and persisted, fortunately, they raided the big camp, and there were few Qing troops in the camp, and they were killed in a blink of an eye, if there was a little cavalry to camp again, he might not be so easy, and it was even very likely to be defeated, after all, they were mostly infantry.

Dolgon poured the whole battalion of men and horses to attack Xishan, and the few soldiers left in the camp were mostly clothed slaves, but their combat effectiveness was not bad at all, and it was said that they should be able to block Qin Songwang's thousands of people attacking, the problem is that these clothed slaves are not soldiers after all, and they immediately panicked when they saw the enemy attacking, and there was a lack of generals in the battalion to command, and they were easily broken into the camp by Li Yan and Qin Songwang, and began to kill people and set fires.

The big camp is the foundation, the grain, grass, army, horses, and baggage are all stationed here, once the attack is broken and the losses are heavy, and it is quite a spiritual home of the army, the big camp is broken, the soul pillar collapses, and there is no intention to fight again.

There was a term called the butterfly effect, and Dorgon had never heard of it, but he was watching it spread, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Nikan and Abatai led tens of thousands of cavalry to fight against the Ming cavalry, and when the strength was equal, he was 90 percent sure of defeating the Ming army, although it showed that the morale of the army was the highest ever, but strength is strength.

However, as soon as the Qing cavalry saw that the camp was attacked, the smoke rose to the sky, and the sea of fire was in pieces, where did they still have the heart to fight again, and in a blink of an eye, they were killed by Wu Sangui's cavalry and fled, and the speed of the rout set a new record.

When the Qing army attacking the mountain saw that victory was in sight, they suddenly saw that the morale of the Ming army skyrocketed, and the cavalry under the mountain was defeated like a receding tide......

Grass and mud horses, still play a p, turn around and run!

The Qing army was defeated, lost his armor and fled for dozens of miles, and the little eunuch fulfilled his wish and fought a decisive battle.

On the twenty-third day of the first month of the sixth year of Tomorrow Qi (1626), Nurhachi led the Houjin army to Ningyuan City, launched an attack in the early morning of the 24th, and could not attack the city on the 26th, and retreated, which lasted three days. It is rumored that Nurhachi was hit by a cannon and died of gangrene.

On May 28, the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627), the Battle of Ningjin, Huang Taiji lured the Ming army outside Jinzhou to fight in the field, led the troops to attack Ningyuan City, the Ming army shelled, the Huang Taiji tent was blown up, Jierharang was injured, and was forced to withdraw the troops, which lasted one day.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, in April, Dolgon led more than 100,000 troops to besiege Ningyuan, Wu Sangui resisted bravely, burned the Qing army camp, pursued for more than ten miles, and killed countless enemies!

That night, I rode a fast horse into the customs.

Early in the morning, Emperor Chongzhen, who was discussing with the ministers in the early dynasty, suddenly received a secret letter, and immediately went crazy, shouted loudly, smashed the left and right cups, hugged his head and cried.

The ministers were shocked and came to persuade each other, thinking that the emperor had lost his mind and gone crazy, or else he would have had bad news, and the thief army in the south broke the Baoding Mansion and approached the capital? The northern Tartars have conquered Ningyuan City and entered the customs?

At a loss, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly burst into tears and laughed, shouting: "The great victory over the years, the best in the past" and then showed the secret letter to the public.

The ministers watched one after another, and then they were stunned, and they couldn't hide their surprise in a blink of an eye, and their form was crazy, which was worse than Emperor Chongzhen.

Ningyuan is a great victory! Ningyuan victory, Ningyuan victory!

But why did Emperor Chongzhen say that this time is indeed the best in the past!

In fact, although they are all great victories, they are thousands of miles apart.

Eighteen years ago, Yuan Chonghuan became famous in the first battle of Ningyuan, and the government and the opposition carnivaled, all of which told each other about the great victory, but in fact, this great victory was only a victory in the strategic sense, after all, the Ming army had not won a battle for many years at that time.

If the actual victory or defeat is to be discussed, after all, the great victory was the Qing army took the initiative to withdraw, and the Ming army killed only more than 200 enemies, which is by no means recorded in the history books: "The cannon passes everywhere, and it is not counted to kill the northern cavalry"

This figure is by no means fabricated, but based on the number of enemies killed by Yuan Chonghuan who later asked for rewards for his subordinates, and it also coincides with the Qing army's statistics on casualties and pensions.

More realistically, Nurhachi could not attack Ningyuan City, but instead attacked the grain base in the sea, and 14,000 fishermen and soldiers on the island were killed.

You killed more than 200 enemies, and people killed more than 10,000 of you

Who won that one in the end?

But at present, this victory is real, the good news said, beheading nearly 10,000 enemies, burning their camps, getting the war horses and armaments regardless of the baggage, crushing the enemy for more than ten miles, and killing the Qing general Luo Luohun......

The difference between 200 and 10,000 enemies! The difference between an automatic retreat and a rout.

How can Chongzhen not be happy, and how can the ministers not be surprised.

"After this battle, my Ming border has been safe for several years" The first assistant Li Banghua had tears in his eyes, holding the secret letter, his hands trembled: "Wu Sangui should have the merit of knighthood this time!" ”

"Wu Sangui has a good deployment in this battle, and it is true that he has made a meritorious contribution to killing the enemy, but don't forget, Chang Yu really made great contributions in this battle! Lure the enemy first, then ambush the enemy, strategize and strategize, and kill the enemy first, he is the first merit! Chongzhen hid his face with excitement.

When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other and were silent.

"You just can't see the internal officials come out, when it comes to the ability of the Manchu Dynasty, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty can be the best, I haven't rewarded him yet, you and others are like this, it's really chilling!"

All the ministers were embarrassed and diverted the topic: "The emperor is not happy now, and the thief army in the south is approaching ......"

"Your Majesty, if you don't quickly transfer Chang Yu to the south, he will be so good at fighting......"

Chongzhen snorted coldly, thinking about him when he was doing his best!
