Chapter 299: Bamboo in the chest

Before every major war, the Red Gangsters had to meet with the Mongols and emphasize military discipline, and this time was no exception.

On August 1 of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the Red Gangster set up a feast to entertain the Mongolian tribes who came to participate in the war.

When they were drunk, the slave chieftain solemnly warned them not to kill their captives, and to accept surrender as much as possible, and if anyone dared to disobey the order, Amin's end would be a lesson from the past.

After the second day, the Jin army divided into two routes, one route was led by Beledeg, Yuetuo, and Azig with 20,000 troops, and settled between Jinzhou and the Daling River through Yizhou, cutting off the connection between Jinzhou and the Daling River.

The Red Gangster personally led the army through Montenegro and Quang Ninh to press towards Dalinghe City from the front.

At this time, the population of Dalinghe City was 15,000 less than in history, and the grain was 5,000 stones, and it was conservatively estimated that it could hold out for four months.

Huang Han originally wanted to find Sun Chengzong unhappy, but he also thought that Dalinghe City would not be able to be repaired.

Who knew that there was an accident, and the old and strong Sun Chengzong not only insisted on his own views to cultivate, but also completed it better than in history.

It seems that the red gang is going to be willing to be hard-headed, He Kegang, who has the crown prince and the governor of Zuodu, is a loyal and good general, and his comrades-in-arms can't hold on anymore, and they are ready to surrender and build slaves, and they resolutely repay the country with death.

Zu Dashou, this kid is also a generation of famous generals, the ancestral family in Liaodong is not known as a general, their level of defending the city is not ambiguous, and it may not be a problem to confront the Houjin army for a year and a half in the case of starvation.

The question is that the Houjin army gathered 50,000 horses in Dalinghe City, and if it really fights a protracted offensive and defensive battle, it will consume a lot of money and grain, and it will miss next year's spring ploughing, and will the already unsustainable grain supply chain of Houjin be broken?

The established tactics of the red gangsters are to encircle the point and send reinforcements, and the focus of coming to Dalinghe City is the word "encirclement".

He ordered the soldiers of the Eight Banners and the laborers who were requisitioned to dig four trenches around Da Linghe City, and built a wall more than one zhang high, surrounding the small Da Linghe City like an iron bucket.

The Ming army never expected that the Jin soldiers would make such a ruthless move, they looked down from the city, and saw: "The rebel slaves surrounded the city of Dalinghe, dug four trenches in a row, bent and difficult to walk, complete with equipment, and the most cunning." ”

The red gang is that this kid is simply self-taught, and he actually used the trench warfare used by the warring parties during World War I and World War II in advance.

At this time, none of the 15,000 soldiers under Zu Dashou thought of surrendering, because the story of Amin's killing of the Ming Dynasty and surrendering the army and the generals was preached everywhere by the Jiannu atrocity accusation group formed by Huang Han.

Although the report group did not go to Liaodong to give lectures, all the Guan Ningjun listened to the others recount how the surrendered civilian officials Bai Yangcui and Zhang Yangchu were chopped off by Amin and had their heads with money rat tails, and how their wives, concubines and all the female dependents were raped first and then killed.

Coupled with the wanton slaughter of the Liao people during the old slave period, nine out of ten of these Guanning troops had a blood feud with Jiannu, and there were almost no people who were willing to take the initiative to surrender to Jiannu before they were forced to die.

When Jiannu just began to dig trenches, it was not very smooth, Zu Dashou and He Kegang led the cavalry from time to time to rush out of Dalinghe City and shoot indiscriminately and then turned back and ran, and when Jiannu and the Tartar cavalry swarmed in, the Guanning army had already fled into the city.

The Ming gunners at the head of the city found that the Houjin army entered the artillery range, and the Hongyi cannon was fired immediately, and the Houjin army, which was chasing too close, suffered a lot of losses.

Seeing the frequent attacks of the Guanning army, the Red Gangsters had no good way, so they had to order the recruited Aha and the bannermen to work hard day and night.

He ordered Dolgon and Duoduo to lead the cavalry to always maintain a state of assembly, and immediately counterattacked when he found that the Guanning army was out of the city to engage in sabotage.

Later, due to the gradual completion of the system of trench warfare, the raid of the Guanning army was hindered by the earthen wall, and the losses were increased by the rapid shooting of the infantry bow of the Houjin army.

The next stage is the confrontation stage, and the Houjin army is not in a hurry to break through Dalinghe City, because this is a fishing bait, and whether the strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements can succeed depends on whether Daming sits back and watches the Guanning army guarding Dalinghe City to be surrounded and annihilated.

If there is a general who dares to ignore the lives of his soldiers, who will accept the task assigned by him in the future?

Therefore, whether he wants to or not, Sun Chengzong must go all out to rescue the Dalinghe City surrounded by himself, as long as the reinforcements of the Ming army come, the Dajin army will achieve results.

Insufficient troops is the shortcomings of the Houjin army, how to make good use of the few Eight Banners soldiers is the first thing to consider is the first thing to consider, now the siege of Dalinghe City has been completed, too many people and horses involved in the siege can be used for maneuvering.

The red gang is indeed very smart, although the construction of fortifications takes a lot of labor, but the effect is very good, Zu Dashou's men and horses out of the city to attack every time they touch a nose and leave dozens of horses to flee back, and then they will no longer do the business of losing money.

Therefore, the Houjin army can completely guard the trenches and besiege Dalinghe City by infantry and bannermen, as long as the cavalry of the two Jiala is left to maneuver, and the cavalry that can be used in the hands of the red gangsters will suddenly multiply.

Because the Houjin army came too fast, the wheat near Jinzhou did not have time to be harvested, this is the Guanning army's own land, and the wheat obtained every year is extra fast, and selling it to Mongolia that lacks grain can earn more than 100,000 taels of snowflake silver.

The red gang is very diligent, he did good deeds after besieging Dalinghe City, took the initiative to help Guan Ningjun harvest, and got seventy or eighty thousand stone wheat.

Qiu Hejia, the governor of Liaodong, was sitting in Jinzhou at this time, and he heard that the Nu chief personally led an army of 50,000 to surround Dalinghe City, panicked, and hurriedly sent messengers to Sun Chengzong, the governor of Shanhaiguan, to report to the governor.

Lao Sun Tou knew that the matter was too big to be good at it, so he sent 600 li to expedite the imperial court to ask for additional reinforcements to participate in the war in Liaodong. In fact, at this time, Sun Chengzong had nothing to do, he could only hope for the imperial court.

The Houjin army really besieged Dalinghe City, and Chongzhen, who received an urgent six-hundred-mile rush from Liaodong, was anxious, and now it is impossible to break the siege by the people and horses of Liaozhen, and it is imperative for the imperial court to point troops and platoons.

But who is up to it? At the time of the court discussion, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all out of order, and no one dared to make a bird, and finally sent Yongping soldiers to prepare Zhang Chun to lead the men and horses to help.

I don't know what kind of consideration Chongzhen had, he rejected Ma Xianglin's request to lead 7,000 white pole soldiers to participate in the battle, and strictly ordered him to stick to Shanhaiguan without any mistakes.

It may be that the emperor was worried that after the defeat of the Ming army at the Daling River, Jiannu took advantage of the victory to pursue and capture Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop, and he trusted the white pole soldiers and knew that the Sichuan army was good at infantry, and Ma Xianglin's men and horses participated in guarding Shanhaiguan, the last barrier, which could make him feel at ease.

Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the military department, proposed to requisition Huang Han's Yongping reinforcement battalion and hand it over to Zhang Chun's command, which was also rejected by Chongzhen on the grounds that there were too many recruits in the "Red Banner Army" and needed time to train.
