Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Fortified Wall Clears the Wilderness, and the Decisive Battle of Shenyang

What followed was a great escape in the pure sense of the word......

Behind are 50,000 slaves.

This is currently the most powerful armed force outside the entire Guan, the last time the Ming Dynasty died more than 40,000 fiascos, and the Jiannu who participated in the war was only 60,000 or 70,000, and this is actually more than 50,000, and the final loss of the wild boar skin attack on Yehe City is not known, but more than 7,000 of Hu Erhan can join. And this is still with infinite anger, the son of the wild boar skin is dead, the pain of losing a child, and his good brother who has lived and died since he was young is also dead, you can imagine how the wild boar skin is angry at this time, if it is overtaken, it is estimated that he will surrender and not want to live.

There were less than 5,000 Ming troops in total, and in this way, in the pursuit of the city that seemed to be a black cloud, he ran completely into Liu Bei of Changbanpo.

It's not as good as Liu Bei.

Anyway, Liu Bei still has a Zhang Yide, and they don't even have Zhang Yide.

Yang Xin ran as fast as they did.

At this time, no one cares about others, just let go of the horse and run according to their ability, and behind them are 50,000 Jiannu who are about to go crazy, and the result of any stagnation is to be drowned.

If you poke a hornet's nest, you must have the consciousness of poking a hornet's nest.

They quickly crossed Zhonggu City, Li Ruzhen immediately joined the escape team, in fact, he was ready to escape and waited for news, then Tieling, and then Fanhe, these newly recovered castles were all discarded again, in fact, they were not prepared to defend, and there was nothing to defend again. Yang Xin, who relied on a lot of horses, was the first to rush into Yilu City, which was the outpost of the Ming army's previous defense, and also the boundary between Tielingwei and Shenyang Zhongwei, from Shenyang to the north along the road along these cities plus Puhe City, and some small forts on the periphery and the outermost Liaodong border wall.

This is the defense system of the Ming army.

With the border wall of Liaodong as the outer circle, the inner city is the center, and the castles are filled in between.

Moreover, all the people are soldiers, or there are no people in the first place, all of them are military households similar to the production and construction corps, and it is a very effective defense system, but the premise is that the guard system is not broken, and the guard system is useless after it is broken.

But this small city ......

"Abandon!"

Yang Xin was in the Imperial Office on Yilu, and said while nibbling on a roast leg of lamb.

At this time, the Ming army that fled behind has also arrived one after another, and the losses along the way are very small, thanks to the early warning of Cao Wenzhao and the two, the Ming army was not blocked in Kaiyuan, and it was not until after crossing the Qing River that Jiannu arrived, but the latter's horse had run for more than 100 miles, and the Ming army's horses that rested overnight could not be compared, and it was almost impossible to catch up with the Ming army.

Of course, if the Ming army fell off the horse and fell and fell behind, it must have been over.

"Governor, you can't give up!"

When Beiyu heard this, he immediately knelt down and howled.

They are all local military households, there are a total of 2,000 military households here, it is two thousand households of Tielingwei, the actual number is unknown, the escape of military households in the guard is a common phenomenon, the circumference of Yilu City is four miles, and it is basically a not small fortress, but these hereditary officers have actually been strengthened by local tyrants, they are reluctant to their own property, and they would rather surrender and build slaves than leave.

These are all Jin Yuhe's reserves.

What's more, it wasn't lost before.

If Li Ruzhen abandons Yilu, then he will lose ground again.

"Abandon, we must abandon, how many soldiers are we going to use to defend the soldiers we can fight at this point? It is possible for at least 2,000 people in such a city, so how many people are left to defend Shenyang, don't we still have these 5,000 to fight now, and there are still 1,000 to be returned to He Shixian, do you rely on those strong men when you go back to Shenyang?

Not only Yilu City must be abandoned, but Puhe City behind it must also be abandoned, and the nearby forts are also abandoned, and all the troops are reduced to Shenyang to defend to the death. In addition, the people of all the cities were also included in Shenyang, and all the materials were taken away, and those who could not be taken away were directly set on fire, and they had to leave immediately. There is no grain for the wild boar skins, and the grain in Kaiyuan Tieling is gone, and then the materials of these castles are emptied, so that he can't get a grain of grain. At this time, the Hunhe River had not yet frozen, enough to block the wild boar skin on the north bank, and if he could not open Shenyang, he would not be able to grab food, and he would have to retreat in a few days at most.

But his first wave of offensive was also bound to be the most ferocious.

Shouyi Road can't stop him.

50,000 Jiannu besieged on all sides, attacking day and night, 2,000 defenders were tired and tired, Puhe City was the same, even if we went back to Shenyang, we could only sit back and watch, and finally spent precious soldiers in vain, and also provided a certain supplement to the wild boar skin, so they all abandoned him to attack Shenyang, and then we concentrated on the elite to defend Shenyang, and when the wild boar skin food was exhausted, we would fight back and take back the cities.

The life and death of the Li family depends on this battle.

As long as you defeat Jiannu, you will be the first hero of Liaodong, and then you will be injured in old age and then go to the book, and you can basically go back to the capital to retire. ”

Yang Xin said.

That Beiyu is still begging bitterly, but Li Ruzhen has been completely controlled by Yang Xin's thinking, so he won't care about the losses caused to them local tyrants by abandoning Yilu like this! He has nothing to be nostalgic for here, but he has been in the capital for nearly forty years, and he doesn't even have a different accent.

Immediately afterwards, Li Ruzhen gave the order to abandon the city.

That night, several fortresses in and around Yilu City were all emptied, and Jiannu had stopped in Tieling because of the exhaustion of the pursuit, no matter how much the wild boar skin hated to immediately cramp and skin Yang Xin, it was impossible for him to let his cavalry continue to run for three hundred miles for a day and a night. In fact, there are only a small number of Jiannu elites who chased to Tieling, and most of them couldn't run when they chased Zhonggu City, they were similar to Yang Xin's guess, they all went south from Yehe City yesterday evening, and then spent one night to Weiyuan Fort. Originally, they wanted Huerhan to hold Kaiyuan, and they launched an attack after resting in Weiyuan Fort, but as soon as they entered the north pass of Zhenbeiguan, they met Huerhan's messenger and knew that Kaiyuan was lost, and the wild boar skin could only give up resting in Weiyuan Fort and attack directly south.

Then Yang Xin, who was shameless, actually ran faster than a rabbit, and Jiannu, who had been running for more than a hundred miles, had to pursue non-stop, and it was almost two hundred miles to Zhonggu City.

This is the limit of a single day for cavalry.

can also run to Tieling, which was exchanged for exhausting a bunch of war horses.

But Yilu City really can't catch up.

And the Ming army was a little better, from Kaiyuan to Yilu City was not yet the limit of cavalry, these cavalry had enough food in Yilu City, and immediately drove the military households in the city and several surrounding fortresses to the south. At this time, the horses brought in Kaiyuan played a huge role, in the final analysis, there were only a few thousand people, not to mention the large number of folk horses, and they arrived at Puhe at dawn. Then after a little rest, under the persecution of Li Ruzhen or Yang Xin, together with the soldiers and civilians of Puhe City and the surrounding fortresses, they were also driven to Shenyang with complaints. As for the materials that could not be taken away from these cities and fortresses, they were all set on fire by those soldiers of the Beijing camp according to Yang Xin's orders, and these bastards did not even let go of other people's houses, and all those who could be burned were burned to ashes.

They can't fight, but they don't have any worries about giving Yang Xin a tiger.

Finally, by noon, they returned to Shenyang.

And at this time, the wild boar skin reached Tieling.

The Jiannu forwards who set off from Tieling entered the still burning Yilu City, and in the face of the Yilu City, which had nothing, those Jiannu had to slaughter the tired horses as food, and they really had nothing else to eat, even if they brought dry food, they were eaten on the previous road.

Of course, if they like it!

At this time, Yang Xin was not in the mood to care about the wild boar skin.

Because Xiong Tingbi has arrived.

"Do you think I won't dare to kill you!"

Xiong Tingbi Shangfang's sword was pulled out in half, and he almost gritted his teeth and said.

He really regretted it now, regretted bringing this bastard to Liaodong, although Yang Xin brought him a great victory, and it was an unprecedented victory, beheading more than two thousand levels, beheading the son of the wild boar skin, and killing the most important minister of the wild boar skin. Such a great victory was unbelievable, and even he was in a trance when he looked at the pile of Jiannu heads and Abatai's dead corpses in front of him, but the problem was ......

Now the boar skin has also been brought in.

Originally, the wild boar skin was entangled with Jintaiji in Yehe City, and he reorganized the army in the south to arrange defenses and wait for follow-up reinforcements, which can be said to be the most perfect, even if the wild boar skin defeated Yehe City, it was impossible to continue to attack Shenyang in the south. It can be said that before the spring of next year, there will be no more war in Liaodong, this time is enough for reinforcements to arrive, and the material reserves are sufficient.

This has been the case in history.

Wild boar skin captured Yehe City, and then the two sides did not have a major battle, the second year after the beginning of spring wild boar skin resumed the offensive, although the Ming army lost the Pu River in August, but the attack of wild boar skin on Shenyang was blocked in the periphery. Even He Shixian counterattacked on a small scale to recapture a few fortresses, and then as reinforcements from all over the Ming Dynasty continued to increase, the situation would inevitably continue to improve.

And then......

Xiong Tingbi was involved.

Then he was replaced by Yuan Yingtai, and the final result was a complete defeat, coupled with Wang Huazhen, the proud protégé of the boss of the Donglin Party, the two cadres of Donglin completely ruined the situation in Liaodong.

And now, Xiong Tingbi's Liaodong strategy has been ruined by Yang Xin.

"Xiong Jingluo, the wild boar skin doesn't have a grain in his hand at the moment!"

Yang Xin said casually.

"But he has 50,000 elite soldiers!"

Xiong Tingbi pushed Shang Fang's sword into the sheath and said.

He just scared him, even if he really cut off the head of this bastard, he had to fight off the boar skin first.

"Those 50,000 elite soldiers get at least 2,000 stone of grain every day, and 10,000 stone in five days, as long as he can't open Shenyang, he won't be able to grab food, and then he will have to withdraw in a few days, all we need to do is to resist his first wave of attacks, can't we even do this?"

Yang Xin said.

"What if Jiannu crosses the river from downstream? Do you think the Hunhe River is really a moat? ”

Xiong Tingbi said.

"He Shixian of Tiger Skin Station, Chai Guozhu of Liaoyang, are they decorations? There are still more than 10,000 Sichuan troops in Liaoyang, even if these people have no infantry and horses, but is it difficult to hold the Hunhe River? ”

Yang Xin said
