Chapter 314: Yang Mou
PS: Happy National Day!
……
"Master Bei, the thieves are very difficult to defeat, and this pass cannot be defended. In the opinion of a minion, it is better to leave early! ”
Gao Di, who was still the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, spoke anxiously.
It has only been half a day since Zheng Jun landed on the shore, and now he has swept the three cities of Keninghai, Nanyi, and Weiyuan, swept two outpost cities, and the soldiers came straight to the Guancheng, and directly gave Xiluo City to the 'province' because of the angle.
Man Dahai's face was pale, he definitely didn't want to go, without Yanjing's will, how could he leave Shanhaiguan? But he really couldn't say anything to refute it. Gaudí's words are not wrong at all.
"Shanhaiguan is very important, without the idea of the imperial court, how can Benbeizi retreat?"
"But Bei Ziye, Zheng Jun's soldiers are strong and strong, and now if we don't retreat, we are waiting for death. There are 5,000 soldiers and horses in Shanhaiguan, no less than 3,000 in the Eight Banners, and now there are still 2,000 upwards. ”
Gao Di is very aware of the nobility of the Eight Banners. The number of real Tartars is too small, and the Han military flag was cannon fodder before, but now that there are green flag soldiers, the Mongolian military flag is needless to say, even the Han military flag is precious, not to mention two or three thousand eight banners, it is a needless loss of two or three hundred and eight banners, which will be severely punished.
The current battle of Shanhaiguan is a 'senseless' battle in his eyes.
Knowing that you can't beat it, you still have to fight, this is not heroic and fearless, but stupid. The Qing Dynasty behind Mandahai is still majestic and mighty, and it has not reached the edge of the cliff where the mountains and rivers are exhausted.
Mandahai still didn't spit out.
He is the seventh son of Daishan, and with Yuetuo, Shuotuo and Sakhalian hanging up one after another, among the second generation of the branch of Prince Daishan, he is the most top-notch in Mandahai.
And Dolgon's handing over such an important place as Shanhaiguan to him also contains a meaning that cannot be described as humane. Therefore, he really can't just abandon this place.
Man Dahai was hesitating, but Zheng Hongkui did not follow loosely. After capturing the South Wing City, pieces of torches were lit up outside the pass, and a large group of Zheng soldiers were busy transferring a piece of artillery from the South Wing City to the Wangyang Gate of the Guancheng.
Zheng's army landed from the coast and approached Guancheng along the city. So he didn't have to fight Xiluo City at all, just go to Guancheng.
The night was silent, and by dawn the next day the three artillery positions had been built, although not even the most basic willow baskets and trenches had been piled up. There was only a circle of shield carts arranged in front of the position, which was very simple.
Three artillery positions were able to deliver shells to every corner of the entire southern wall. Because there is no cannon on it at all, the few remaining Hongyi cannons in Shanhaiguan are all at the mercy of the east and west. Because of this arrangement, the artillery was fired from the urn city of Guancheng, and the few remaining artillery pieces could also pass through Xiluo City to form a very direct threat to the enemy.
Xiluo City and Shanhaiguan City, at first glance, it seems to be a super large urn city, and only one Gongchen gate has been opened, no matter how you look at it, it is the same as the urn city, although its scale is super large.
More than 100 cannons fired in salvo from the three artillery positions, which soon knocked the Qing troops on the southern city wall and collapsed the towering city tower on the Wangyang Gate earlier.
Ke Erkun is an old man under Mandahai, who is the Red Banner of Manchuria, and his actual status is higher than that of Gao Di, the general army of Shanhaiguan, and can be called the actual deputy general of Shanhaiguan.
After receiving the emergency report from Wangyangmen, Man Dahai first asked Ke Erkun to lead troops but also helped. Although most of the thousands of people he led were standard camps under Gao Di.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
When he arrived at the urn city built into the Wangyang Gate, Kolkun found that the situation was not good. With one artillery fire after another, Zheng Jun's artillery fire had already fallen across the Wangyang Gate towards the urn city inside. Before the people of Korkun could react, they were carried by Goshha beside him and hid in the gate of the city of Urn, and then he saw that the thousands of soldiers and horses he had brought, obviously not suffering much losses, had already been in a mess under the artillery bombardment of the Zheng army, and turned into a swarm of headless flies.
He saw with his own eyes a Niu Lu Zhangjing was thrown to the ground by the rioting crowd, and one by one lowly Nikan stepped over him with big feet, not that there was a loyal Goshha around him to save him, but he was trampled to death by a pair of feet.
"Master, this Shanhaiguan can't be saved." The voice beside Colkun said.
"Go to Horn Mountain, and all go to Horn Mountain." Colkun is not a dead-brained person, and he slips away when he sees that the situation is not good. The pride of trying to turn the tide on his own has nothing to do with him.
Before the hour was punctual (eight o'clock in the morning), the Wangyang Gate was declared lost.
Man Dahai's face was pale and pale, and he couldn't imagine that this majestic Shanhaiguan was completely tattered after only one blow.
"Master, let's go." If you don't leave, you really can't go.
"Bei Ziye, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, if Zhuge Wuhou still has the defeat of the street pavilion, why should Bei Ziye bother with the gains and losses of this place? Even if Shanhaiguan falls into the hands of the enemy, it will only be a small setback for our Qing Dynasty. ”
Gao Di's heart was already trembling, if Man Dahai didn't leave at this time, then Gao would not be able to accompany him.
Man Dahai closed his eyes in a daze. Goshha and the minions beside him were overjoyed when they saw their faces, and they stepped forward to set up Mandahai.
That is to say, from the time Zheng Hongkui led the army to Shanhaiguan, with 5,000 soldiers in hand, and Mandahai, which held the fortified city of Shanhaiguan, the Communist Party resisted for a day. The Qing soldiers fled along the Great Wall in embarrassment to the Jiaoshan Pass.
How many people were killed by Zheng Jun's guns along the way, or were cleaned up by the pursuing Zheng Jun, that is an impossible number.
Fleeing to Mandahai in Jiaoshan Pass, there were only 2,000 remnants left in the total of his subordinates. There was no room left to rest, so he continued to flee west along the Great Wall. They didn't even dare to go out of the Jiaoshan Pass, and they were not sure if there was already a pocket arranged by Zheng Jun waiting for them outside the Jiaoshan Pass, which seemed to have no soldiers.
The Qing army, whose mind was full of words of escape and life, had already forgotten about the Wu army that came to help.
As soon as Zheng Jun appeared, Man Dahai sent three people to inform Dai Shan of Shengjing, Wu Sanfu (Wu Sangui's younger brother) of Ningyuan City, and the regent of Yanjing City.
Whether it was good or Dolgon, all of them could not quench their thirst from far water. Only Wu Sanfu in Ningyuan City, and only Guan Ningjun in the Jinxi Corridor are the closest reinforcements from Shanhaiguan.
Especially Tong Shisheng, who was stationed in the Qiantun Acropolis of Guangning, was only forty miles away from Shanhaiguan, this person was originally one of the deputy commanders under Wu Sangui, and now the second-class Meile Zhangjing, I heard that Shanhaiguan had changed, where did he dare to be lazy? He immediately led 3,000 of his 5,000 soldiers out of the city, entered the Guangning Zhongqian Station 20 miles away from Shanhaiguan before dark, and took away the local 1,000 Guanning troops when he got up at the beginning of the next day, and the 4,000 troops rushed to Shanhaiguan in the afternoon.
Zheng Jun, who was stationed on Weiyuan Fort, saw the Wu army coming to help from a distance, and the news was reported to Zheng Hongkui, which made the latter laugh happily. This is the fat meat that I sent to my door.
At present, the banner of Zheng Jun in Weiyuan Fort has been replaced by the dragon flag of the Qing army, and there is also the sound of guns and cannons on Shanhaiguan. It wasn't until Tong Shisheng led his troops to Weiyuan Fort that he was stunned.
Seeing that the banner of the Qing Dynasty carried on Weiyuan Fort was torn off and replaced with the banner of the Zheng family, and watching the lively sound of guns and cannons in Shanhaiguan behind Huanxi Ridge suddenly subsided, Tong Shisheng really wanted a mouthful of blood to spurt out three feet away.
He was completely deceived, and he served Zheng Jun's mouth, and it was impossible to escape at this time.
"Go and tell the surnamed Tong, surrender obediently, I can still let him go, otherwise, no one will be left!" Zheng Hongkui was standing behind 30,000 soldiers and horses, how could he take this Wu army in front of him in his eyes?
This time, he led his troops to kill outside the pass, and the capture of Shanhaiguan was the first, so he cleaned up the Wu army and repaired the two main forces of the red flags left behind outside the pass, that is, the second.
Zheng Zhilong said in his letter to him that if he could, he would call Shengjing and take a look, and even take down Alakhtu.
Then don't believe in the Tartars, don't send troops and horses outside the pass.
Then he was able to take advantage of the convenience of the sailor to send the soldiers and horses outside the pass back to Jinmen in the shortest possible time, and after converging the soldiers and horses he led, he would set up a battle in the land of Gyeonggi and fight with the Tartars for a while.
If Yanjing can be taken in one fell swoop, and the Tartars are forced to 'move the capital' in embarrassment, then the name of the Zheng family will shake the world.
Zheng Zhilong's previous reputation, and the impact of Jinling's torn face, are not a matter under the general trend.
If so, what else does Zheng Hongkui not understand. This is Zheng Zhilong's conspiracy, the harder he fights outside the gate, the better he fights, the more uncomfortable the Tartar becomes.
However, the number of Tartar soldiers was limited, and although they had subdued Jinling, and although they had won the support of the gentry in the North, it would take some time to turn this support into real strength.
Especially at the critical moment when this Tartar was fighting with Li Zicheng, although Li Shun was defeated in a row, Li Zicheng's capital had not been lost, and he still held a lot of elite soldiers in the old battalion in his palms. As long as the Tartars retreat in Guanzhong's soldiers and horses, or turn from attack to defense, then Li Zicheng can take a breath. When the time comes, only the Gushi Khan of Qinghai and the rebels of Tasu will not be Li Shun's opponent.
Even when the Tartar army made a comeback, Li Zicheng was not an opponent. But with this respite, Li Zicheng can also have time to find another way to make a living, right?
The land of Guanzhong is now a dead land, and Li Zicheng can hold Chang'an, even if he relies on the broken Guanzhong, it is impossible to feed so many soldiers and horses under his command.
In Zheng Zhilong's view, Li Zicheng's only way out now is to go out of Wuguan and break into Nanyang, in the case that the main forces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are attracted by themselves, Nanyang's troops are empty, and only those Zuo troops who followed Zuo Mengeng to surrender to the Qing Dynasty want to hold Nanyang, the possibility is very small.
After capturing Nanyang, you can join the Bai Wang army in Xiangyang, and then take Jingzhou to the west, entrench in Jingxiang, look for an opportunity to go south, or go to the east, and take advantage of the great loss of the strength of the Ming army to cross the Yangtze River, which is a way to survive.
Then he has to join forces with Zhang Xianzhong of Sichuan and Shu, otherwise, if Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are still in a state of fighting, the end of Lao Li will not be far away.
But in this way, the situation is very similar to the scene of communication between the Ming and Qing dynasties in history at first glance, but there is another Zheng family in the world, and Zheng Zhilong can't predict how the situation will develop in the future.
He was playing a big game before he died.
As long as this battle plan continues step by step, the "situation" in the whole world will really be in chaos. What confrontation between the north and the south, what the Ming and Qing dynasties competed for, it's not bullshit.
I don't know how the history books of this time and space will judge him in the future......
Zheng Zhilong compared his actions in the past few years, the forces he has achieved, and the strength he has already possessed with historical figures, and found that Zhou Shizong Chai Rong is the most similar to himself.
All of them have not achieved great causes, all of them are heroic strategies, and all of them have collapsed in the middle way.
Will that be Zhou Shizong's second?
If Zheng Zhilong can really take down Yanjing, then it is really possible! But he believes that Zheng Sen will never be the second Chai Zongxun (Chai Rong's son)!
