Chapter 304: The Worst Battle of the Seventeenth Century

It is true that the strength of Nurhachi's Eight Banners Army should be between 60,000 and 80,000 at this time.

During the period from the Battle of Fushun to the Battle of Sarhu, he also cooperated with the 35,000 Mongolian cavalry of the Mongols of Fried Flowers, Zaisai and Nuantu to harass and attack the Ming army in Liaodong.

In the battle to conquer Shenyang, even if you don't count the three forces of the friendly forces such as Fried Flowers, Zaisai and Nuan Rabbit, do you know how many troops King Han gained after conquering Shenyang?

He Shixian's Shenyang City claimed to have 70,000 defenders, and among the ten general soldiers in Liaodong, He Shixian was the oldest and the most respected during Xiong Tingbi's reign.

Not to mention the number of 70,000, the total strength of the two Ming armies in Shenyang City is a must.

But after this part of the soldiers surrendered, except for the part of the artillery that was bought by Li Yongfang with a lot of money, it was impossible for the rest to fight for the Eight Banners.

The historical data said that there were 70,000 defenders in Shenyang City, among which many Mongols surrendered, and I heard that He Shixian was defeated and retreated, and the surrenders rebelled one after another, and the castle fell instantly.

What does this mean?

It shows that in addition to more than 20,000 regular Ming troops, the defenders of Shenyang also have tens of thousands of Mongolian defenders, and these Mongolian defenders saw that He Shixian led a thousand cavalry out of the city, and when he came back, he only had himself and more than a dozen arrows inserted in his body, so he immediately attacked the Ming army in Shenyang.

It also shows that even if the defenders of Shenyang are less than 70,000, the Mongolian defenders in the city will never be much less than the strength of the Ming army, otherwise they will not be able to take Shenyang City with their own strength without even the Eight Banners Army attacking the city.

After the fall of Shenyang, this part of the Mongol defenders came under the command of Nurhachi.

Therefore, it can be concluded that in the bloody battle of the Hunhe River (known as the bloody battle of Montenegro by the Qing people), in the case of Nurhachi gathering all the troops of the Eight Banners and the Mongol troops in Shenyang City, the number of troops must have reached 100,000.

This is not counting the strength of Li Yongfang, one of the eight surnames of the Eight Banners, Li Yongfang has been following King Han after this battle, and the number of troops under his jurisdiction has been 9,000 to 10,000.

At this time, although the Eight Banners Han Army was not established, among the eight surnames of the Han Army, two of them had already appeared on the stage of history.

Namely: Li Yongfang of the Li family, Tong Yangzheng of the Tong family and the generation of Yangzi.

Under the command of the two surnames, there were about 10,000 Han troops at this time.

The Qing army's infantry armor attacked from all sides like a sea tide, and the three Sichuan armies were strictly disciplined and immobile like mountains.

"It's been three years, sons, our Yongning Army has been stationed in Liaodong for three years, and you haven't made an inch, are you willing to go back like this?"

"Unwilling!" The Yongning army roared in unison.

And the forward generals of the Youyang Army, Ran Jianlong and Ran Renlong, are the two half-brothers of Ran Yuelong, the Xuanfu envoy of Youyang.

The Youyang Zhongjun is Xuanfu Yuelong's two sons, Ran Tianyu and Ran Tianyun.

This Tujia Jiangmen has ruled the place for hundreds of years, but more than ten years ago, like Yongning, experienced a cannibalistic tragedy.

The eldest brother is loyal, and he can't bear to attack his cousin who wants to kill him repeatedly, but in the end, he is still joined forces by the ruthless brother and his concubine.

was drunk by his own brother, and then strangled to death by his own unfavored concubine.

After the death of the eldest brother, the second brother Ran Yuelong, who was born to his mother-in-law, succeeded to the throne, and the court killed his mother's younger brother, and he personally killed the little sister-in-law who raised his uncle shamelessly.

However, the Ran family does not only have a concubine room for raising an uncle, but also a concubine room that can make the Ran family's name go down in history.

Ran Yuelong was lucky, his father personally auditioned and chose such a beautiful and leading concubine for him.

At that time, the father chose Bai Zaixiang as his son's concubine, just because Bai Zaixiang was beautiful, it was really beautiful, but he didn't expect Bai Zaixiang to have the additional skill of leading soldiers to fight.

Ran Yuelong did earn it, because of Bai Zaixiang's exploits, Ran Yuelong became the first southwest toast to be awarded the second grade.

Oh, this first is the first among men, I'm embarrassed to say that Qin Liangyu is a genuine product, and he also gave all the three princes of Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao, this is the only one in the Ming Dynasty, and I haven't heard of anyone else holding the title of the three princes in all dynasties.

In this battle, Bai Zaixiang was in the rear army of the Youyang Army in the Battle of the Hunhe River, and beat the drums for the three armies.

This Bai Zaixiang is the white lady who is the same as Qin Liangyu, the Han and the earth, and is the double phoenix of the Ming Dynasty.

For Bai Zaixiang's people, there are poems as evidence:

The heroes of the ages are white and fragrant, and the women of Kyushu are sunny.

Liaodong suppressed the three armies, and Chongqing was peaceful and luxurious.

The pillars of the Ming Kingdom have been created, and the women's middle school is brilliant.

Seal a product Rong Huanyu, brilliant and brilliant Yideyang.

Although this poem is ordinary, Mrs. Bai is definitely from the second class, not ordinary.

She is not the wife of the Xuanfu envoy, but she and Ran Yuelong's wife Shu Shi have received a first-class order from the imperial court, which is not dishonorable.

And Bai Zaixiang is indeed worthy of this glory, the two uncles and the two sisters-in-law drew their swords one after another in front of the battle, and Bai Zaixiang encouraged the soldiers while beating the drum behind the battle:

"The sons and daughters of the Youyang Army, we were ordered by Xuanfu to go to Rongji for thousands of miles, from the southwest to the northeast, and together with the Shizhu Army of the Qin General Army, we launched the Battle of Liaoyang, the Battle of Tiger Skin and the Battle of Huangshan, three battles and three victories, and recaptured the cities and key passes of my Ming Dynasty in Liaodong.

Shenyang City was in an emergency twice, and our Youyang army attacked again, relieved the siege of Shenyang, drove the enemy to Fengji Fort, and won two more battles.

Sons, there are 100,000 strong troops in the Eight Banners in front of you, but I want to ask, are you afraid? ”

The Youyang army was all blood-red-eyed, lined with swords and guns, and was just about to reply: Don't be afraid.

The stone pillar army next door suddenly roared in unison: "For the glory of the Ming Dynasty, for the oath of fighting to defend the society, all the stone pillar army, fight to the death!" ”

At the feet of the Nine Thousand Sichuan Army, the tremor was getting stronger and stronger, the earth rumbled and roared, and the sky was very noisy.

Like the 50,000 iron horsemen killed in hell, it seems that the three rivers converge into an ocean.

Behind the 9,000 Sichuan Army, there is a muddy river across the river, fighting against the water, and the Sichuan army fighting to the death!

It seems a bit cliché to say that the Sichuan army and Nurhachi's 50,000 iron cavalry killed the sky in the dark, and called the sun and moon lightless.

But it is true, under the personal leadership of King Lao Han, the 50,000 iron streams of the four banners on the right wing came desperately to crush it.

A comet-Earth collision erupted into one of the most fierce and bloody battles of the 17th century.

It's not that the battle suffered the most casualties, it wasn't a one-sided massacre, as was the case after the destruction of Yangzhou and Guangzhou, where unarmed people were slaughtered by traitors and executioners.

The corpses of the people of Yangzhou were piled up into Meiling, which is a mountain in the north of the city.

The people of Guangzhou were killed in eighteen shops, and the corpses filled the six veins of the canal, which were the six rivers filled by the people of Guangzhou with corpses.

I don't know if Mr. Jin Yong's six-vein divine sword is related to the six-vein canal.
