Volume 8 Chapter 53 Recovering the Rivers and Mountains

Chongzhen was excited, but Huang Taiji was so angry that he almost spurted blood.

When he received the news, Haoge had already been escorted into Beijing, the main Mengyuan grassland was too far away from Jinzhou City, and the middle interval was not the sea, and he didn't have any wheels, the news of Jinzhou City could only be transferred from Guifu Fort to Xuancheng, and then to Dingliao Youwei, and then to Liaoyang, and then to Mengyuan Grassland, far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, nearly three thousand miles, and when he received the news, the daylilies were cold.

Yue Tuo was killed, Haoge surrendered, more than 100,000 Manchu Eight Banners and Han Eight Banner infantry soldiers were all wiped out, and Houjin had never suffered such a big defeat since the founding of the country, and more importantly, after the more than 100,000 troops were gone, there were 60,000 heavy armor infantry and thousands of stragglers left in the entire Liaodong!

At this time, the situation in eastern Liaodong can be described as precarious, 60,000 heavy armored infantry to guard the important town of Liaoyang and the base camp Shengjing, from Jinzhou to Zhenjiang and even to the Dingliao right guard line, there are a total of several thousand stragglers left, if the Ming army takes the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

Will Zhang Bin take the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive?

Huang Taiji didn't know this question, he didn't even know who the commander of the Ming army was at this time, he only knew that the more than 100,000 troops he sent to Jinzhou to attract the main force of the Ming army were served by the main force of the Ming army!

Chongzhen didn't even realize this question, because he was preparing to sacrifice to the suburban temple and celebrate it, a shocking victory had already made him almost crazy with excitement, where could he have thought that there would be a bigger surprise, he didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't have time to think about it.

Zhang Bin has already thought about it, he wants to raise Kou's self-respect and avoid premature conflict with Chongzhen, but this Kou does not include Jiannu, does not include Huang Taiji, if there is a chance to lay down Huang Taiji, if there is a chance to recover the splendid rivers and mountains of Liaodong, he will definitely not hesitate.

Now is such a great opportunity, Huang Taiji doesn't know where to take the Houjin Iron Cavalry at this time, Jiannu's 60,000 Manchu Eight Banner Infantry and 50,000 Han Eight Banner Infantry have all been cleaned up by themselves, now, there are 60,000 heavy armored infantry left in the entire Liaodong, and Daming's side, there are more than 100,000 people stationed in Liaodong, as long as they attack fiercely, it is not impossible to recover the entire Liaodong, such an opportunity, how could he miss it.

He led the army to escort the captives back to Jinzhou and began to plan to recover Liaodong, because he was only the governor of the five provinces at this time, and had no right to command the Liaodong army, he could only first command the Fuguang army to take a surprise attack to recover some important cities, as for what to do next, it depends on Huang Taiji's reaction and Chongzhen's attitude.

At this time, the Fuguang army under his command was actually less than 100,000, and the Fuguang army still had some casualties when cleaning up the more than 100,000 foot soldiers led by Haoge and Yue Tuo, although there were not many soldiers killed in battle, but there were many wounded, he simply ordered Feng Shuangli to lead nearly 10,000 light and serious wounded to stay in Jinzhou City, and assisted Mao Wenlong to take care of the prisoners while recuperating from his wounds, and the remaining 90,000 horses, he divided them into three routes.

All the way, with Cao Wenzhao as the main general and Ma Yuanli as the deputy general, he led 20,000 horses to take the land route to raid the fort;

All the way, with Cao Bianjiao as the main general and Zhang Hualong as the deputy general, led 20,000 horses and horses to raid Xuancheng, an important town in the southeast of the watershed;

On the way, he personally took command, and led 50,000 horses and horses to raid Zhenjiang, an important border town, with Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and other five young generals.

The first target of this raid is to surrender to the fort, this fort guards the main road to the watershed, and it is also the last stronghold of Jiannu in the west of the watershed, as long as it is taken, the west of the watershed will be completely included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Jiannu wants to cross the watershed to attack Jinzhou and Fuzhou again, unless the fort is recaptured again, otherwise it can only attack Haizhou from Liaoyang south.

The surrender fort is not big, it is a fortress converted from a guard station, the height of the city wall is only a few feet, and it can be stationed in it at most five or six thousand people, this kind of small fortress is simply not worth it to the Fuguang army.

However, Cao Wenzhao still pretended to attach great importance to it, and led the army all the way to the Guifu Fort, as if he wanted to quickly take the Guifu Fort and then go straight to the watershed.

In fact, he is a suspicious soldier all the way, attracting the attention of the enemy, some of them are clippers, where they need to cross the watershed to attack the city in the east of Liaodong, he is purely acting.

He first commanded 20,000 horses to surround the fort on all sides, set up a formation, and then set up a tiger squat cannon, desperately bombarded, and made a huge momentum, as if the main force of the Fuguang army was here.

There were only 1,000 defenders in the fort, and when Cao Wenzhao led 20,000 troops to surround them, they were already frightened and weak, and when Cao Wenzhao ordered people to set up tiger squat cannons and bombard desperately, they were directly frightened to put up a white flag and surrender.

Just kidding, how can this be fought, the number of people is dozens of times that of their side, there are hundreds of artillery, thousands of chariots, and an unknown number of muskets, even if it is 10,000 heavily armored foot soldiers, they can't hold it, let alone their 1,000 ordinary foot soldiers.

Strange things appeared, when the white flag was erected in the city, Cao Wenzhao didn't even see it, and still ordered someone to bombard for a while, rest for a while, and then bombard for a while, endlessly.

At this time, not only the defenders in the city were unconscious, and they wanted to cry without tears, even the young general Ma Yuanli couldn't understand it, after a few rounds of bombardment in vain, Ma Yuanli couldn't help but point to the small white flag erected on the city gate tower and reminded euphemistically: "Uncle Cao, according to the historical records, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, entered Guanzhong, approached Xianyang, and the Qin State surrendered. ”

Of course, Cao Wenzhao knew that the Jiannu in the city raised the white flag to surrender, but he couldn't let the family surrender, he was covering Zhang Bin and Cao Bianjiao to paralyze the Jiannu, if he accepted the surrender of the Jiannu in the city, how could he attract the attention of Jiannu, did he go to the watershed to attack the Yellow Bone Fort?

Forget it, the mountain road is difficult, I don't know how hard it will take to pull the chariots and artillery trucks over, and more importantly, the time is too late, Zhang Bin and Cao Bianjiao estimate that they will be able to launch an attack tomorrow, and their 20,000 troops with so many chariots and artillery wagons don't know if they can reach the Yellow Bone Fort in a day.

Surrender, surrender what?

Sorry, surrender is not accepted today!

He didn't learn Ma Yuanliwen's crepe speech, but explained directly: "Master Zhang said that he wants us to make a big noise here and attract the attention of Jiannu, and he and Bianjiao took the opportunity to raid Xuancheng, an important town west of the watershed, and Zhenjiang, a border town in eastern Liaodong. ”

Oh, so that's what it meant, Ma Yuanli couldn't help but suddenly realize, he pointed to the white flag on the city gate tower and suggested: "Uncle Cao, why don't we let people aim at the white flag and blow it off?" ”

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he couldn't help but have black lines on his face, just ignore others, is it necessary to be so boring!
