Chapter 072: Attack! Offensive!
"We can't delay any longer, this battle must be resolved quickly!" Staring at Liaoyang City in front of him, Zhao Zongwu said with a serious expression.
Coming out of the old camp in Ganshan, surrounded by Chen Qiyu, Zhao Shujiao, Li Yun and others, Zhao Zongwu and others arrived at the Liaoyang front line.
Although the Jiannu army built a series of complete camps around Liaoyang City, Liaodong also dispatched new local garrisons to form in turn.
It is true that the newly formed local garrison forces may be lacking in combat effectiveness.
However, this batch of newly formed local garrison troops participated in the bloody battle, and perhaps there were shortcomings in the battle between the two armies, but if they simply relied on the camp to deter the Jiannu army on the opposite side, it still had a good effect.
"Our army has experienced this bloody battle, although the new local garrison has trained a group of capable fighters, but in terms of the overall trend, if we don't end this battle quickly, I am afraid that Jiannu will have more soldiers and horses galloping from the nest, if it develops into a stalemate war, even if it can be won in the end, it will be the kind of heavy losses for my Liaodong, and even Liaodong will face a collapse again!"
Zhao Zongwu knew very well in his heart what the hole cards he was holding in his hands and how much capital he had.
This time, it seems that more than 100,000 or nearly 200,000 troops have gathered at the front line, but what can really be used among them is that in addition to the Mangui Division, Li Bei's Division, and You Shiwei Division, there are also about 40,000 newly formed local garrison troops.
The newly formed local garrison troops included are all soldiers who have survived bloody battles and brutal battles.
In this way, there are more than 70,000 capable warriors in the hands of Zhao Zongwu.
Of course, this siege does not necessarily require much ability, as long as you can carry the ladder and carry the sword to fight, as for life and death, it depends on your own life.
But Zhao Zongwu didn't want to fight in this way.
In his eyes, every soldier, whether it is the Chinese Army or the newly formed local garrison army, is very precious, and dying in a senseless offensive and defensive battle is a very unworthy thing in itself!
"Drive the captured more than 30,000 grassland Tartars and Jiannu Tartars, including those traitors who are dogs, to Benhou to the offensive and defensive line, and clearly tell them that if they want to live, then give Benhou to attack Liaoyang City, otherwise Benhou's sharp arrows will not have eyes!"
"Pull out all the large artillery pieces gathered this time for Benhou, didn't he build slaves out of the city? All right! Then let these dog Tartars taste the power of my Liaodong artillery! ”
"In this battle, our army will focus on one side, don't care about any tactical tactics, the Jiannu elsewhere has a new local garrison to deter, and the Mangui department has been cruising the entire battlefield since then, no matter who comes to help, they will all be eaten by Benhou!"
"This battle Benhou doesn't need anything else, even if this Liaoyang City is destroyed, it's okay, as long as Nurhachi can be captured and killed here, this battle is the biggest victory!"
Now that it is clear what the premise is, everything that follows starts around the war.
Looking at the tall and majestic Liaoyang City in front of him, Zhao Zongwu kept issuing military orders, and if he could end the battle in one day, he would definitely not be dragged into the next day.
For Zhao Zongwu, there is no priority in this battle, as long as his troops can attack the side of Liaoyang City, then the next situation will be very clear.
According to the analysis of the intelligence collected on the battlefield by the General Staff Department, Jiannu showed an extremely strong offensive in the early stage, and even suppressed the Li Pei Department stationed in Haizhou, which did not have the slightest chance of counterattack, if it were not for the fact that his troops adjusted their offensive ideas in time and first solved the attack on the Haoge Department in Guangning, so as to seize the area of the Juliu River and achieve coercion in the two important towns of Shen and Liao!
However, judging from the current situation, with the clarity of the battle situation east of the watershed, both the Daishan Department in charge of the offensive and the Mang Gurtai Department have failed to achieve the results they deserve.
For this reason, the General Staff Department has come up with a bold speculation that Nurhachi may be sick again! And the condition is more serious than expected.
To attack people is to attack the heart.
No one knows better than Zhao Zongwu in his heart that when a person has a physical problem because of one thing after another in the past three or five years, and in the end, he will be made a big move by this person, making him unable to accept such a thing, the chance of being angry to death is very high.
"Li Bei! The burden of attacking Liaoyang City will be handed over to you. Looking at the burly Li Bei in front of him, after a month of bloody tempering, he has undergone earth-shaking changes, people are forced out in adversity, just this toughness, Li Bei is definitely a leader in the Liaodong military circle.
Hearing what his own Hou Ye said, Li Bei nodded heavily and said, "Hou Ye, don't worry, the last general will definitely live up to Hou Ye's expectations!" ”
Leading troops to fight under Zhao Zongwu is definitely the refreshing kind, although the authority is very detailed, but there is no need to worry about intrigue and trivial matters, which also makes them generals like to follow behind Zhao Zongwu, no matter what period they join Zhao Zongwu, such thoughts are very strong.
That's the charm of people.
With a smile on his face, Zhao Zongwu patted Li Bei's shoulder heavily and said, "Ben Hou hopes to drink the celebration wine of the Huaxia Army in Shenyang City!" Drink your Li Bei's celebration wine! ”
There is no false reply, every word Zhao Zongwu says is expressed with strong emotions, and it is this kind of intimate feeling that makes Li Bei dare not serve his life?
In this way, the decisive battle of Liaoyang began.
In order to deter Jiannu, in order to let Nurhachi know the strength of Liaodong, as the commander of this offensive and defensive battle, Li Bei chose to attack from the front, based on more than 30,000 prisoners of all kinds, and more than 20,000 new local garrisons to suppress them.
From a bird's-eye view from the air, the square circle based on Liaoyang City is surrounded by a dense crowd of people, they are like a swarm of uncountable ants, constantly moving around the square circle of Liaoyang City, and in the process, one by one boulders and one by one solid bullets are roaring towards the city wall!
Since the outbreak of the war, it has been much stronger than imagined, and Jiannu, who was guarding Liaoyang City, did not expect at first that the Ming army would specialize in one place to fight fiercely.
Shouts of killing, rain of arrows, all kinds of shells, the smell of blood...... Flood the entire battlefield.
"Damn! Damn thieves aren't ready to give us a way to live! "Dai Shan, who temporarily took over the power to defend the city, under the protection of the left and right Bayalas, looked at the rain of arrows, boulders, and projectiles flying in the air, and with a loud noise, there will be a tragic death of a number of soldiers!
Where the hell is there such a fight!
After fighting for so many years and fighting with so many strong enemies, Dai Shan has never seen this kind of fighting at all, which is really too weird.
"Damn! Drove the young men of the city to defend the city, and if anyone dared to resist, they were killed on the spot!! "Although there are 100,000 troops stationed in Liaoyang City, but they are stationed on four city walls, that proportion is a very small scale, and Liaoyang City also needs soldiers and horses to deter, which makes Dai Shan actually controllable not many soldiers and horses!
Because it is not clear at this stage what the true intentions of the Ming army in Liaodong on the other side are, this makes Dai Shan dare not easily transfer troops stationed on other city walls on a large scale, because he doesn't know if the reason why the Ming army is so strong is to lay the foundation for subsequent attacks on other city walls.
In such a situation, the young Zhuang living in Liaoyang City reached the blood mold.
It is said that it is young and strong, but the murderous Jiannu army does not care about these, but all the men they see, as young as twelve or thirteen years old, as old as fifty or sixty years old, as long as they can carry heavy objects, all of them are pulled to the city to help defend the city, during this period there will inevitably be people who resist, because no one will die willingly, but the red-eyed Jiannu will not care about these......
For a time, Liaoyang City was filled with blood.
But such thousands of people were still driven to the city wall by the murderous Jiannu, the flesh and blood that were blown up were everywhere, and the stumps and broken arms were countless, and those people who didn't even dare to hold knives on weekdays saw such a battle, and they were so frightened that their legs were weak!
But since they live in this cruel world, they can't run away from the things they should bear.
"Report ...... The Eastern Front is in danger! ”
Just when Dai Shan was anxious in the face of this tragic battle situation, Haoge frowned and ran over, he was originally stationed in the east city, and he had been waiting for the Ming army to attack, but the Ming army had no strategy for the other three city walls except for the frontal hard attack, and in such a situation, he saw the wolf smoke information from the garrison camp on the eastern front, which was the most urgent kind of help!
This is the masterpiece of You Shiwei's onslaught, and during this period, the Mangui department roamed in the place, coupled with the added value of the new local garrison, which made the Eight Banners of the Grassland and the Eight Banners of the Han Army stationed in the place not have much counteroffensive ability at all, because their courage has been frightened, although they have an absolute advantage in numbers, but sometimes the war is not fought by numbers, but by real strength.
"Ignore it! Concentrate on holding on to the line of defense that belongs to you! Dai Shan, who heard the news, had a gloomy face on his face, but after a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and preached. Hauge, let Ben Belle see again, as a master general, you left without reason, don't blame Ben Belle for being ruthless! ”
Damn.
When is this time, you, as the commander of the Dongcheng defense line, actually left your duties at this time, if it means that the thieves come to sneak attack, and the eastern front will be lost, then everything will be in vain!
Because of the pressure on the defensive line guarded by Daishan, Haoge originally wanted to use this time to pass on information and ask Daishan to fight, but after hearing Daishan's words, this made him feel frightened!
Oh, yes!
How could he be so daring!
It's wartime now, and as a commander-in-chief, you can't leave your position at all.
Thinking of this, Hauge knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty: "My nephew knows his mistake!! ”
Looking at Hauge who was kneeling on the ground, Dai Shan squinted his eyes slightly and said: "Defend the defense line for Ben Baylor, this battle will be a real bloody battle for my Dajin!" ”
"Wow!" Dai Shan bowed his head and answered.
Such a small episode will not affect this battle at all.
The high-intensity fighting continued, and for the next three days, except for the late night, when there was no fighting between the two sides, the rest of the time was a battle to the death.
Because of the excessively high frequency of bloody battles, these prisoners experienced the second day of bloody battles, when more than 20,000 people were killed in the battle, and the remaining nearly 10,000 prisoners, because they couldn't bear the pressure, there was a camp roar, but for such a situation, Li Pei showed absolute iron blood!
After killing more than 1,000 captives, the captives who were killed did not dare to resist, so they attacked Liaoyang City on the third day, and burst out with a greater deterrent!
Fight! Fight! A bloody battle without any thoughts!
