Chapter 076: Recovering Liaodong!!
Nurhachi is dead.
The balance of victory completely tilted in favor of Zhao Zongwu.
Of course, at the beginning of Nurhachi's death, it was impossible for Dai Shan to pass on the news, he was not so stupid, reporting such news at this turbulent time, in addition to speeding up the completion of the Eight Banners, what other effects would it be?
But don't think about it, Liaoyang City will definitely not be able to be saved!
In order to keep the elite of the Eight Banners from attrition, as long as the elite of the Eight Banners does not have major losses, then even if these territories are lost now, they can still be recaptured again in the future, if all the elites of the Eight Banners are buried in Liaoyang City, then everything will become empty talk.
For this reason, Daishan maintained the news that Nurhachi was still alive, and at the same time made sure that the Khan Dragon Fu had been placed under his own control, indicating that the Khan had entrusted the power to him.
With these foundations to do the fundamental guarantee, it also makes it easier for Daishan to do things in the future.
Dai Shan stayed in Liaoyang for three days, and gradually changed his offensive posture during these three days, and dispersed the Eight Banners of the Grassland, the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and the common people to the city.
Of course, he did some of it on the eve of nightfall, and then in the dead of night, Dai Shan led the elite of the Eight Banners to escape, leaving only the Eight Banners of the Grassland and the Eight Banners of the Han Army to resist the city......
If there is such a wave, it will inevitably attract the attention of Zhao Zongwu and them, these days of non-stop bloody battles, isn't it just to defeat the Jiannu army as soon as possible?
At this time, the Jiannu army stationed in Liaoyang City fled, although I don't know the specific scale of the escape, but the escape must represent a big problem!
"Give Lao Tzu a bite of the fleeing team!" After Zhao Zongwu learned of the situation, on the one hand, he ordered the Mangui Department to pursue and escape from Jiannu, and on the other hand, let Li Bei's Department urgently attack Liaoyang City!
Although Zhao Zongwu could be more risky, Zhao Zongwu did not do this, and first let Mangui's subordinates bite Jiannu to ensure that Liaoyang City is absolutely in his own hands, and only in this way can he ensure that the next stage of attacking Shengjing City can be smoothly implemented!
To this end, a hearty battle begins, and a hearty chase battle begins!
Under the leadership of Li Bei, the high-pitched Chinese Army showed an unprecedented offensive posture, although it was said that the Eight Banners of the Grassland and the Eight Banners of the Han Army stationed in Liaoyang City held a strong city defense, but after all, all this happened too suddenly, and there was no Jiannu general in the middle, and after resisting for a while, they knelt on the ground and begged to surrender......
But the recovery of Liaoyang City does not mean that the war in Liaoyang is over, after all, there are still many troops here along the line, and they don't know that Jiannu has retreated, such a situation, Zhao Zongwu doesn't want any more accidents, so he chooses to fight steadily.
And with the passage of time, five days passed in such a situation, Zhao Zongwu had completely mastered the important town of Liaoyang, and the Jiannu army stationed in the Weining battalion, after receiving the order of Dai Shan, under the leadership of Fan Wencheng, urgently went to Fushun Pass, which also completely liberated a large number of elite troops.
"The current situation has been decided, and Nurhachi must have died in battle." Looking at the war sand table in front of him, Zhao Zongwu led the army to sit in Liaoyang City, and the battle situation had been completely gathered by the General Staff Department, so that Zhao Zongwu basically knew what the general trend of Liaodong's foundation was, "We must persist in this battle!" No matter how much Liaodong loses and how much silver is consumed, this time we must take advantage of the victory to pursue and recover the lost territory of Liaodong in one go!
If we can't grit our teeth and persist this time, then when Daishan closes the situation and gathers the forces around him, if our army wants to recover the lost territory in Liaodong, I am afraid that it will need to consume more soldiers, horses, and financial resources than meets the eye. ”
The invasion of Liaoyang Town, the basic loss of soldiers and horses, the loss of baggage, the loss of silver, the staff department has already reached a preliminary conclusion, more than 30,000 soldiers were killed in the battle, more than 20,000 soldiers were seriously wounded, more than 10,000 people were disabled, and all kinds of heavy weapons and ammunition consumed in this battle were converted into nearly 10 million silver.
Chen Qiyu nodded and said: "Master Hou, what you said is right, this battle has reached this point, if you can't recover all the lost territory in Liaodong, this battle can't be regarded as a real victory for me in Liaodong, since now Jiannu has fallen into chaos, then there will inevitably be a struggle for power in the early stage, which is also an opportunity for our army to recover Shenyang and recover all the lost territory at the least cost!" ”
The high-level ideology is highly consistent, so the next thing to do is to continue the campaign, because an unprecedented victory has been achieved, which also makes Liaodong high-pitched, rare momentum like a rainbow, and it has become inevitable to manipulate the army to besiege Shenyang.
As a result, nearly 100,000 new local garrison troops, divided into Li Bei, You Shiwei, and You Shilu, converged with the elite Chinese army of the headquarters, and besieged Shenyang City in three ways.
In this way, more than 160,000 troops besieged it.
Although Dai Shan returned to Shengjing nearly seven days in advance, as the news of Nurhachi's death spread, there was chaos within the Eight Banners, and Mang Gurtai, who was stationed in Shengjing, shouted that the general situation was not in his hands at all, which also made Dai Shan understand in his heart that Liaodong seemed to be unable to save it......
If there is no Mang Gurtai to do such a thing in the middle, and Dai Shan leads all the Eight Banners athletes to play a defense battle, then the remaining Liaodong territory of Dajin may be saved.
But there is no such but.
Nurhachi's sudden death made it all too sudden, which left many people in a state of disbelief, and no one dared to believe that it was true.
Therefore, it will be exposed from other aspects, in order to avoid ripping the skin, since Mang Gurtai is not convinced, then let this dog stay in Shengjing, Dai Shan took everything he could take away, especially the craftsmen engaged in production, and it was even more of a non-exhaustive to take it away.
Only Mang Gurtai is left to be crazy here, and of course there are some high-level Jiannu who want to go crazy, with them here to contain them, and they can also reserve their due free time for Dai Shan.
Then the situation became clear.
Zhao Zongwu personally sat in the rear, calmly dispatching all the baggage needed for the front line, even if there was a lot of loss in the rear, as long as he could recover all the lost territory in Liaodong, then all this was very worthwhile.
In this mentality, in more than a month, Shenyang, Kaiyuan, Tieling, Fushun and other important military towns were all recovered by the Huaxia Army, and the Liaodong Metropolitan Division captured by Jiannu was all recovered!
