【200】Dolgon Attack 2

On the lonely tree hill, in a golden tent with countless large shackles, Dolgon and the Khans of Tushetu Khan Oba, Chechen Khan Shuoli, and Zasaktu Khan Subati were discussing how to attack the city. Dolgon took out a map and said, "This is the map of Xin'anguan that Mr. Fan has carefully drawn for three years, and all the dangers on the map are clearly marked. Although Xin'anguan is now under the control of the Southern Barbarians, it is not clear how the troops will be deployed. However, in order to defend Xin'an Pass, the arrangement of the Southern Barbarians should be similar to that of the previous Qing Dynasty. ”

"Mr. Fan? Is it Mr. Fan Wencheng, the first adviser under the former Bogda Chechen Khan (the Mongol title of Huang Taiji)? Oba asked

Dolgon was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "No, it's Mr. Fan Yongdou, a wealthy businessman in Zhangjiakou." ”

"It turned out to be Boss Fan~" Oba deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "big" and said with a smile: "We and Boss Fan are old acquaintances." ”

Fan Yongdou on the side smiled awkwardly, and the Mongolian Khans and Taiji also sneered lowly

Dolgon said solemnly: "To get back to the point, all the Great Khans and Taiji, please see, this Xin'an Pass is located on a high post, the terrain is dangerous, the road in front of the pass is narrow, the high wall is thick, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if our army attacks head-on, although it can also be attacked head-on, I am afraid it will also suffer heavy casualties." But don't worry, this new Anguan city is dangerous. But it has a major loophole, that is, the enemy platform of Xuanwei Building in the northeast of the wall, our army only needs to occupy the key point here, and the bows and arrows can easily cover the eastern section of the Xin'an Pass wall, and you can cover the army to break in~! ”

"What does the prince mean that our army wants to seize the key points here first?" Oba still called Dolgon the prince, which made Dolgon, who had already claimed to be the third emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the regular Jianyuan Dynasty, very dissatisfied, and Azig on the side also looked at Oba angrily, and Oba couldn't see it

After all, Dolgon's cultivation city is deeper than Azig, and he said with a smile: "Tushetu Khan is really smart, my arrangement is to send 3,000 archers to climb this building first, and the army will attack the Xin'an Pass Wall head-on, contain the main force of the barbarian defenders, and send another army to attack the eastern section of the wall, with the cover of the archers, it is very easy to attack the wall!" As long as our army stands firm on the wall of the Great Wall, and then attacks the Xin'an Pass wall from inside and outside, it will definitely succeed! ”

As soon as Dolgon's words fell, Ming An said, "Okay, let's do it." Oba nodded in agreement with Dorgon's plan, and when Dolgon asked the other Mongol taiji for their opinion, the other Mongol taiji nodded in agreement. The Mongol army has not fought a siege battle for many years, and it has long forgotten how to attack the city

Oba's eldest son, Balida, suddenly said: "We Mongols are not good at attacking cities, let alone climbing mountains, these two points are not as good as the Qing warriors who fought in the white mountains and black waters. But there is one point, we Mongols are good at archery, it is better to take the task of capturing the enemy Taiwan by the warriors of the Qing Dynasty, I will select 3,000 archers like Jebe and then follow up. ”

"Presumptuous~ Where is your turn to speak here?" Oba feigned anger and loudly reprimanded Balida, "Lord Wang, don't be like a child! ”

"Hmm~~" Azig made an angry nasal voice in his nose, he looked around at the Mongolian khans, except for Ming'an, the other Mongolian khans all had flashing eyes and a wait-and-see attitude

Dolgon smiled and said, "That's fine, then let the Mongol warriors hide behind the Qing warriors!" ”

Where did Ming'an's eldest son, Anghong, hear this, he stood up and said: "Our descendants of Genghis Khan are goshawks in the desert, where is the reason to hide behind others? After that, Anghong stroked his chest with his right hand and said, "Your Majesty, please let me be the vanguard." ”

Oba and Balida cursed in their hearts at the same time: stupid as a cow

Dorgon smiled triumphantly, "I have heard that little Belleon is mighty and brave, and that he is an eagle of the steppe. I allow you to get half of all the loot in Kaiyuan Castle after you conquer it. ”

"Half?"

"Half of all the loot?" The Mongol Khans, who originally had an ambiguous expression and twinkling eyes, looked at Oba and looked at Dolgon, and their expressions became more and more ambiguous.

Dolgon smiled and said, "Don't you know that Kaiyuan City is known as the Silk Pass?" ”

The ancient city of Kaiyuan, located in the upper plain of the Liaohe River in northern Liaoning, is the only town in the north of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. Xin'anguan just controlled the passage from the Central Plains to the Mongolian steppe region, and the frontier border town of Kaiyuan was the frontier town where silk from the Central Plains flowed into the minority areas. Kaiyuan to the east for more than ten miles is the remaining veins of Changbai Mountain in the east of Qinghe District, Tieling, and the cars and horses are not passable; To the west more than 20 hours is the Liaohai Liaohe Loop, the carriages, horses, boats are not passable, this "silk pass" Kaiyuan has become the north-south line of the traffic artery throat point, there is a big husband when the pass is not open the momentum, the city of Kaiyuan has been called the place of the soldiers and the city of a hundred battles of heroes since ancient times. Therefore, in order to obtain these beautiful and precious silks, the peoples took risks and did not hesitate to fight when they could not buy them peacefully and the trade was not smooth enough.

Kaiyuan is the production base of quercus silkworms in eastern Liaodong. That is, today, Kaiyuan and its eastern region are still the production and processing base of silkworms in the country. The reason why Kaiyuan has become a "silk pass" is also because of the collection and distribution of goods in the horse market in Liaodong. According to the "Fragments of the Liaodong Archives of the Ming Dynasty", two-thirds of the northeast trade of the Ming Dynasty was in Kaiyuan. In March of the fourth year of Yongle (1406), the Ming Dynasty government "set up two institutes in Kaiyuan in Liaodong and Mashi in Guangning." Kaiyuan and Quang Ninh Ma City were officially established. At first, there was only one horse market in Kaiyuan and Quang Ninh, and soon there were two horse markets in Kaiyuan City. With the continuous enhancement of the role of "Silk Pass" Kaiyuan, the two horse markets still could not meet the needs, so the "Silk Pass" Kaiyuan City added a Tatar horse market for trade with Mongolia. Thus forming three passes and three cities: one is the Tatar horse market, the ancient castle in the north of Xin'an Guan, the main object is the Mongolian Uliangha Sanwei; The second is Nanguan Ma City, in the Mink Pitun of Guangshun Pass, the main trading objects are the Hada Kingdom, the Huifa Kingdom, the Jianzhou Jurchen, the East China Sea Jurchen and the "Korean Back Gate" area in the four countries of the Jurchen Hulun in Haixi; The third is Beiguan Ma City, in Zhenbei Guanneimashi Fort, the trading object is the Yehe Kingdom, the Ula State and the East China Sea Jurchen Jurchen in the four countries of the Hercynian Hulun and the East China Sea Jurchen in the Russian coastal area from the depths of the Changbai Mountains to the west coast of the Sea of Japan.

In the Ming Dynasty, Shanhaiguan was distributed outside the post station, and the original was located in the hub and central position. Kaihara was not only a center of trade in the Kanto region and a distribution center for goods, but also organized the production of goods on its own. Kaiyuan is one of the two major bases for horse domestication in eastern Liaodong. In the seventh year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1409), in order to strengthen the defense of the north, Zizai Prefecture was set up in Liaodong, and the place of governance was in Kaiyuan, and then moved to Liaoyang in the second year of orthodoxy (1437). Since the Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties, there have been government-run pastures in the eastern part of Liaodong that serve the military and post services, and the horses that have been plundered in the war and the tribute horses from all over the country have been gathered here to raise, and there are hundreds of thousands of horses at the most. In the thirteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1308), the Taifu Temple was set up in Liaodong, which was an institution specializing in raising horses. In the sixteenth year of Hongzhi (1503), he repaired the Yuanma Temple in Fuzhou, Liaodong, and built a horse farm in Kaiyuan and Fushun. Later, although it moved to Liaoyang, it still continued to use Kaiyuan as the hub of post transmission, which can be called the starting point of the tree-like structure of the Northeast post transmission network, and the gateway to Shanhaiguan and Jingshi in the west, which is the link between the Liaodong Prefecture and the Nuergandu Division in the Northeast Region.

Kaiyuan is one of the three major centers of iron smelting in China. According to the "Liaodong Archives Fragments", 80% of the trade in Northeast China was in the three horse markets of the "Silk Pass" Kaiyuan.

The Horqin Department has been nomadic in the Liaohe River all the year round, and has dealt with the merchants of Kaiyuan in those years, so he naturally knows the wealth and prosperity of Kaiyuan. So, the promise of half of the booty was a great temptation for them

Balida, the son of Oba, looked at those salivating Khans and Taiji, and smiled secretly in his heart: Xin'an Pass may not be able to be won smoothly, and he is already thinking about starting to carve up the spoils of the original war. How ridiculous it is to reward with something that is not yet one's own. And those who want to receive these rewards are even more foolish

Sure enough, the originally ambiguous Chechen Khan and Zasaktu Khan, as well as many small tribes of Beyler and Taiji, expressed their willingness to act as vanguards. After some fighting, Anghong was still the vanguard, leading the soldiers and horses of several small tribes such as Murt and Guo Ross to capture the enemy platform of Xuanwei Tower

Dolgon was overjoyed, with so many Mongolian cannon fodder coming forward, it was strange that he was not happy. So he ordered someone to bring good wine, so that he might make a strong name for Anghong and the others

At this time, the pawn came to report, indicating that the army had left the gate and was in front of the gate

"What?" Dolgon was surprised, in the face of my 130,000 army, the Ming army guarding the pass actually dared to take the initiative to attack and give up the natural risk?

Ang Hong laughed wildly and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there was a general in ancient Han China, and before the wine to reward him was cold, he came back with the head of the enemy general?" ”

Dolgon smiled: "That's the allusion of Guan Yunchang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to warm wine and kill Huaxiong. ”

Ang Hong replied with a smile: "Okay, today I will follow this Guan Yunchang, and I will drink this wine when I break the Han Guancheng." ”

In two quarters of an hour, 10,000 Mongol soldiers, led by Anghong, came to a place less than five miles from Xin'an Pass. At this time, many Mongolian soldiers heard a strange sound, as if someone was hitting the ground with something, Teng Teng~~~ The sound was neat and loud

A moment later, countless spears that shone in the cold sunlight and looked like forests appeared on the horizon in the distance, and in an instant, they were the Ming infantry wearing armor and moving in unison. At this time, the Mongols discovered that the strange sound of Fang Cai was the sound of the Ming soldiers stepping on the ground when they walked in unison

Anghong didn't care, but Dolgon and Azig, who were watching the battle behind the battle, glanced at each other, and their hearts were tight, and the Ming army that went out to meet the battle was said to have three or four thousand people, but the footwork was uniform, as if only three or four people were walking. Well-trained, combat effectiveness must be considerable.

Ming An also sweated for his son in his heart, but he said beautifully, "What's the use of walking neatly?" Fighting a war relies on real swords and real guns. ”

Oba said something cool, "yes! Walking unevenly and whether you can fight are two different things, who wins and who loses to know who will fight! ”

Balida also said lightly: "That is, the wheat that grows well is easier to cut." ”

More than 3,000 solemn-looking Ming soldiers carried spears flat, lined up in several neat phalanxes, slowly approaching with the beat of the drums, raising their legs and stepping without a difference, and the three thousand people seemed to be a whole, like a copper wall and iron wall, accompanied by dull footsteps slowly advancing! Between these phalanxes were Ming musketeers with muskets on their shoulders.

Behind the infantry, there were twenty wooden wagons more than one man high, with a large roof on them, apparently used to defend against arrows. Under the canopy stood four men, two of whom carried muskets slightly longer than those used by the Ming musketeers under the car. Two other men, each holding a long barrel in their hands, leaned over their eyes and looked around. Behind the two wings of the infantry were the Ming cavalry. Although the queue was not as neat as the infantry, it was also orderly, and followed the infantry slowly, not panicking and not busy.

When the Ming army reached a distance of about 500 steps from the Anghong Division, the originally rhythmic drum beat suddenly sounded continuously, and then the drum beat stopped abruptly, and the Ming army also stopped in unison

Anghong hurriedly ordered the troops to stop advancing, and hurriedly ordered the army to stop advancing, but the various departments were not subordinate to each other, and the speed of the order was fast and slow

"It's as quiet as a forest~" Azig muttered

"Immovable as a mountain, difficult to know yin and yang, moving like thunder!" Dorgon muttered under his breath as well

Ming An had never read Sun Tzu's Art of War, and he couldn't understand the Jiannu language, so he couldn't understand what the two were talking about, but looking at the expressions of Dolgon and Azig, Ming An knew that the Ming army on the other side was not easy to mess with. He began to regret why he wasn't as sleek as Oba, and now he could only pray to the heavens of immortality to bless his son

At this time, a Ming cavalry came between the two armies, opened his throat and shouted: "Song Youliang, the governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, ordered that the Mongolian tribes capture and kill those who came to surrender to Jiannu to protect their glory and wealth; If you are in the same stream with Jiannu, you will resist stubbornly, and when the heavenly soldiers arrive, the jade will be burned, the body will be killed, the family will be wiped out, the chickens and dogs will not be left, and the people and animals will be killed. ”

"What a big breath~" Ming An, who could understand Chinese, sneered

"Surrender?" After listening to the words of the traitor Tong Ze, a group of young Zhuang factions led by Ang Hong, Tai Ji and Beile almost crooked their noses, and Ang Hong laughed and said: "A few thousand people, how dare you ask our 130,000 army to surrender? ”

Over there, Guo Luo Xiaoshuai had already shot an arrow towards the Ming army knight, and roared: "Han dog, the dead clan is exterminated, the chickens and dogs are not left, and it is you who kill all the people and animals~"

The arrow fell five steps in front of the Ming knight's horse, and the Ming knight turned his horse's head and shouted: "Tartar does not surrender~~ Jiannu does not surrender!" ”

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Zhou Guoqing gave an order, and the soldiers began to take out Minne bullets and gunpowder and began to load. Although Song Youliang's Seiko has successfully manufactured more than 6,000 rear-loading guns, it has not been possible to change all of them in a short period of time, so Zhou Guoqing's department still uses front-loading guns
