After the Qing Dynasty's Prince Su Haoge and the commander of the army Ao Bai, the minister Sonny and others rescued Dolgon, Dolgon was already unconscious, and these people did not dare to fight, so they ran away with the half-dead Dolgon.

Because they can see that the Ming army is retreating, not retreating, the difference in one word, the essential difference. It was obvious that this was the strategy of the Ming army, but Dolgon was stunned and didn't see it, and recognized that the Ming army could not withstand their artillery fire and was defeated, so he led his troops to charge, but he happened to be fooled, and the Ming army retreated, and the artillery was put out.

If Dorgon had known that he had been fooled and had stopped the pursuit, he would not have stopped the pursuit, however......

The Ming artillery fire was fierce. The Qing army commander will take the lead in charging to boost morale, otherwise the lord will take the lead in escaping, and the army's spirit will be scattered. These Tartars were scared by Lin Yi in these battles, and they were already like frightened birds, so when they saw that Dolgon was bombed, Hauge and Ao Bai took the lead in fleeing for their lives, the army's morale was scattered, and thousands of Tartars were all scattered, one ran faster than the other, and those who ran slower became cannon fodder, which is called competition.

At this time, Lin Yi let the withdrawn generals launch a counter-charge again, and hundreds of thousands of troops spread all over the mountains, like raging waves, with an unstoppable momentum, a charge killed the Tartars without a trace, and the ground was full of corpses.

The 4,000-gun battalion of the Tartars was almost completely wiped out, and the 300 red-coated cannons all became trophies of the Ming army.

The iron cavalry of the Ming army, including tens of thousands of Mongolian iron cavalry, chased the Tartars out of more than 40 miles in one breath before they could contain the soldiers and horses.

At this point, the Battle of Huanggutun ended with the complete victory of the Ming army. A total of more than 70,000 Qing troops were annihilated, Man Dahai and Yue Le were killed, Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, and Tong Yangjia were killed, and Dolgon was seriously injured.

From the Battle of Shanhaiguan to the Battle of Huanggutun, the Ming army was victorious and invincible, and wiped out more than 100,000 Qing troops, from Huangtaiji to Dolgon, the Qing Dynasty accumulated strength for so many years, and was wiped out by Lin Yi's two major battles.

The soldiers of the Ming army raised their eyebrows from top to bottom. Treat the wounded, clean up the battlefield, bury the corpses, take care of the trophies, etc., and deal with the aftermath of the war with songs and laughter.

Three days later, Lin Yi led the 130,000 Ming army to continue to advance the front.

Further ahead is Ningyuan City.

Ningyuan City is the old city of Xingcheng City, Huludao City, Liaoning Province in later generations, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was an important military town, and it was also one of the main battlefields for the defense of Tartars outside the Ming Pass, Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou, etc., many powerful historical figures have had an indissoluble bond with Ningyuan.

Among them, the Qing Taizu Nurhachi was cut in Ningyuan, because he was hit by a cannon when he led his troops to attack the city, and he died soon after he returned.

Hundreds of years of cultural accumulation, make this small city famous, that is, in the 21st century of peace, this ancient city is still well preserved, is listed as one of the four most well-preserved ancient cities in the Ming Dynasty, ranked among the top ten ancient cities in China, tourist attractions.

However, after Hong Chengchou was defeated and captured and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, this place became the world of the Qing Dynasty.

Now Lin Yi commands 130,000 Ming troops, and the troops are under Ningyuan City, and he wants to recapture the city that belonged to the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Ten miles away from the city, the Ming army set up camp and went down to the village, Lin Yi took Song Xiance and Liu Zhaoji around the city to check the terrain, Zhezhe and Xiaoying, Gao Guiying accompanied each other, and Zhang Hua and other guards battalion dozens of musketeers accompanied the escort.

The reason why Lin Yi brought Liu Zhaoji, the general soldier of Yongping, was because Liu Zhaoji personally participated in the Battle of Ningjin two years ago, although that battle failed in the end, but Liu Zhaoji, as one of the parties, has a better understanding of the topography and urban defense in the Ningjin area, and he now wants to understand the situation of Ningyuan City, which is undoubtedly the best guide.

Sure enough, along the way, Liu Zhaoji kept explaining the situation of Ningyuan and the situation of the Ningjin War that year, Lin Yi This is the first time to go to Guanwai, and he is still just a concept of Ningyuan City, at most he stays in the impression of book knowledge and film and television novels before the crossing, and now in the face of this thousand-year-old city, Lin Yi feels that she has a sense of mystery, and in her mind she seems to be able to imagine the glorious scene of the Ming army's defeat of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji back then, and you can also imagine the grievances of the defeat of the Ningjin War two years ago.

From Liu Zhaoji's mouth, I learned that Ningyuan City is basically a square city, this city is not big, only forty or fifty square kilometers, with four city gates in the east, west, north and south, but don't look at the city small, the city gate is not much, but each city gate has three city gates such as suspension bridge, jack gate and inner gate, in addition, there are auxiliary cities and urn cities on both sides of each city gate, there are forts at the city gates, auxiliary cities and urn cities, and the city is more than three zhang high, the city wall is thick and wide, the top can run horses, the moat outside the city is wide and deep, the magnificent drum tower, the towering arrow tower, The high fort and the black hole of the cannon hole, on which countless Qing troops can be seen waiting for them.

Ningyuan City is backed by hills and faces the sea, and the first impression of this small city to Lin Yi is that the city is high and deep, and it is as solid as gold.

After inspecting Ningyuan City and returning to the camp, how to capture Ningyuan was a problem in front of Lin Yi. Lin Yi has a plan in his mind, but he doesn't think it's very mature, and he wants to listen to the audience's intentions, especially the opinions of the think tank Song Xiance, and brainstorm ideas, so as not to insist on going his own way and making the mistake of underestimating the enemy.

Although Lin Yi is now winning consecutive battles, his morale is very high, and the 130,000 horsemen are strong and strong, this time the red-coated cannons have pulled more than 600 guns, including 300 Dolgon captured in Huanggutun, and the other is not counting the old guns of the old army, and the new muskets are self-generated flintlock pistols counting the guard battalion, more than 6,000. Cavalry, infantry, bows and arrows, light and heavy firearms, it can be said that the arms are complete. To say that the only thing that doesn't have it is the water master, but Lin Yi can transfer the water master of Daming with one order. Even Zuo Liangyu, Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, these thorns didn't dare not listen, just ask which of the Ming generals dared to disobey?

Because now Lin Yi is no longer a small chief military officer, and he is not only the prince and the secretary of the Ming Military Department, he is also the Ming Supervisor.

What is a prison state? The official of the prison country is too powerful, to put it bluntly, it is the prelude to the emperor, or simply called the quasi-emperor.

After Chongzhen hanged, history entered the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Southern Ming Dynasty from the Hongguang Emperor, to the Zheng Ming era, a total of four emperors and one prison country, as long as 40 years, but the four emperors and one prison country which one of them started from the prison country, and then ascended the throne ceremony, the king of the world, although their regimes are a large piece of land, but also short-lived, including the Hongguang regime of Zhu Yousong, the king of Tang Zhu Yujian's Longwu regime, the Shaowu regime of Zhu Yulang, the king of Gui, Zhu Youlang's Yongli regime, The period of the prison of Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, etc., but this is an important period in history that cannot be erased.

The history of nearly half a century is basically the history of blood and tears of the Qing Tartars in eliminating the anti-Qing forces and the remnants of the Ming Dynasty and bloodily suppressing the resistance of the Han people.

Therefore, some people have incorporated these 40 years into the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty is not a country in 276, but a society in 316, but the next dozens are called the Southern Ming Dynasty, because it is no longer a unified dynasty, and it is a corner of the south.

It can also be seen from this that the essence of the prison country, he is one step away from the emperor, he is not the same as the regent, the regent can represent the emperor to a certain extent, and even in special circumstances, he can directly represent the emperor to exercise the first imperial power, but he is not the emperor after all, Dolgon has been regent for many years, but in the end he did not dare to take a step, he did not dare to sit on that chair.

But the prison country is different, the prison country can also be regent, of course, you can also directly ascend the throne, the ancient prison country is generally the prince, there are also queens or queen mothers, if the prison country is a whim one day, hold a dress ceremony, and then sit on that chair is called the throne sitting in the palace, the hundred officials and the people have to bow and worship from now on, the mountain shouts long live, and the prison country will turn into a butterfly and become the supreme emperor.

Now Lin Yi is the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, this is not his self-styled, it is the prince who took the initiative to give way, and hundreds of officials are stubble, if the democratic election is carried out, Lin Yi is absolutely unique and unanimously approved, and he was elected as the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, without any greasy behavior of canvassing and bribery.

Therefore, Lin Yi now has a monopoly on power, and he takes life and death, and the dispatch of troops and generals under the edict is even more justified for him, and it is a trivial matter.

But despite Lin Yi's high position, he won battles in a row, and the Manchu Tartars retreated in a row, but Lin Yi still didn't dare to take it lightly, he would not forget that Nurhachi and Huang Taiji both attacked Ningyuan with an army of more than 100,000 people, and as a result, Yuan Chonghuan taught Lao Tzu a lesson to his son, so that their father and son knew what it means to have someone outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky.

We must think of a perfect way to seize such a fortified city, and not be reckless.

Therefore, Lin Yi immediately issued an order, promoted the account to discuss the matter, and all the generals and officers above the general level of the army participated, and the big tent was full, Lin Yi sat on the handsome seat, Xiaoying and Zhezhe stood left and right, and Song Xiance, a think tank, sat on the side.

When it came to how to capture Ningyuan, Lin Yi asked everyone to express their opinions, and as soon as the chatterbox was opened, they were not restrained, and some advocated a strong attack, such a large army, so many cannons, it would not take a few charges to take this small city.

Some advocate attacking both land and water, which can reduce casualties.

There are also advocates of besieging the city, just like beating Gaobeidian, trapping them to death these bitches.

Lin Yi listened to these remarks and nodded noncommittally, but did not express his position, because these flashed in his mind, any way of playing could take Ning Yuan in the end, but the cost was different, the time was different, and the result was different, and finally Lin Yi's gaze fell on Song Xiance's small, round and black face.

Song Xiance has been speechless, but his head has not been idle, and he has listened quietly to other people's words, while thinking, seeing Lin Yi asked, he hurriedly said: "If you want to attack the city, it is nothing more than these few ways to fight, if you want to fight quickly, you can attack or use land and water troops, if you are afraid of too many casualties, you will take the method of besieging the city, but it will take a long time." There is also a way to force these Tartars out of the city to fight, and put the battlefield in the wild. ”

"Oh, sir, you might as well elaborate." Of course, Lin Yi is interested in this method, now that the Tartars stick to the city without fighting, the above methods of play will take some trouble, if the Tartars can go out of the city to fight, of course, it is the best choice.

"My lord, behind Ningwan City is Tashan, and then north of Tashan is Xingshan, and then north of Xingshan is Songshan, and then Jinzhou, these Qing troops have heavy defenses, and we will fight sooner or later. Now we can not attack Ningyuan City for the time being, but go around and concentrate our forces to attack Tashan, Xingshan and Songshan first, so that they think that we are aiming at Jinzhou, as long as we can take three or two strongholds, it is equivalent to cutting off the back road of Ningyuan's army, and when the Ningyuan defenders will be scattered, they will go out of the city to fight with us without killing, and then they can send troops to annihilate them, and Ningyuan City will be at their fingertips. ”

Lin Yi was overjoyed when he heard it, he really deserved to be a military advisor, and it was really extraordinary, so he praised it: "Mr. is high, just follow Mr.'s plan." ”

Lin Yi immediately sent troops to deploy generals. Ningyuan City is hilly to the north, mountains to the west, and sea to the east, so he divided his troops into two routes, let Bayan Bushaer, Bahrain and Bashan take more than 20,000 Mongolian iron cavalry to the west to detour to the west The goal is Yizhou, there is no need to attack Yizhou, just contain his soldiers and horses, and then send Yongping general Liu Zhaoji with 20,000 horses (in addition to Yongping soldiers, Lin Yi allocated more than 10,000 horses), so that he and they also detour to the west, the goal is Jinzhou, and there is no need to attack Jinzhou, so that Jinzhou soldiers dare not act rashly.

The remaining 90,000 Ma Linyi were dispatched again, and sent troops on three roads on land, namely Hao Shaoqi, Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan, each with 10,000 horses to attack Tashan, Xingshan and Songshan at the same time, and also sent troops on the water, namely He Renlong, Dongsheng and Wang Qi, respectively, with 10,000 horses and horses to cooperate with the sailors to attack Tashan, Xingshan and Songshan from the water, so that they could not take care of each other and suffer from the enemy on several sides.

There are still 30,000 horses left, 10,000 are Henan soldiers, the general soldier Yuan Shu is still responsible for the food and grass supply of the whole army, and finally there are 20,000 troops left, Lin Yi is divided into two, he personally commands 10,000 horses, including the guard battalion and the women's battalion, and sets up camp in situ, so that the remaining 10,000 horses take a boat to go around Ningyuan City by land and water, and cooperate with Lin Yi to keep an eye on the defenders in Ningyuan City, as long as they go out of the city, these 20,000 Ming troops will be sandwiched back and forth, eliminate Ningyuan's Tartars, and take the city.

All the men and horses from all walks of life were dispatched, and the land route was far away, so they raised troops first. Those who take the waterway must wait for the sailors' warships. A few days later, more than 10,000 people and more than 3,000 warships of the Shandong Navy Division and the Yongping Navy Division arrived.

30,000 troops boarded the ships one after another, plus more than 40,000 sailors left the coast, hoisted their sails, and marched north along the coast.

In such a large-scale operation of the 14th Five-Year Ten Thousand Ming Army, the Qing Dynasty's Tanma had already reported into Ningyuancheng, Tashan, Xingshan, Songshan, Jinzhou and Yizhou, and the Qing army guards in the six places were stunned......
