Why did Huang Taiji choose to attack Haizhou City, did he think that the 40,000 Qin army was inferior to the 50,000 Fuguang army?

In fact, otherwise, in his opinion, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, which has been around for more than 200 years, must be stronger than the Fuguang army that suddenly appeared, and the Phoenix City of Dingliao Right Guard is also easier to take than Haizhou City, because there is a Zhenjiang City behind the Phoenix City of Dingliao Right Guard, Zhenjiang City is still a small border city, and it is definitely inconvenient for the Ming army to support it; To the west of Haizhou City is Da Liaohe Fort, and to the south is Gaizhou, Fuzhou, and Jinzhou, and the Ming army can support from two directions, and it must be much more difficult to take it than Phoenix City.

However, he had to choose to attack Haizhou City, because Haizhou City was too close to Liaoyang.

Haizhou is only more than 100 miles away from Liaoyang, and Dingliao Right Guard Phoenix City is more than 600 miles away from Liaoyang, if he chooses to attack Dingliao Right Guard Phoenix City with all his strength, the Qin army in Haizhou City will be able to escape outside Liaoyang City in one day, and then he will be in a dilemma!

This is also the reason why Zhang Bin calculated that he would attack Haizhou City, if he dared to take the risk of attacking Dingliao Right Guard Phoenix, it would be good, Zhang Bin would definitely gather heavy troops to attack Liaoyang, because Phoenix City did not need to be rescued at all, when it came to defending the city, the Fuguang Army was even more powerful than the Qin Army, and the Phoenix City Huang Taiji, which was garrisoned by the 50,000 Fuguang Army, would not want to conquer it in a short time even if he brought all the more than 400,000 troops with him.

In fact, Zhang Bin has a better chance of winning in this game, because Huang Taiji had to choose to attack in order to feed hundreds of thousands of troops, and Zhang Bin has money, so he can work at ease, but unfortunately, it is not Zhang Bin who is playing chess with chess pieces on the side of Daming, but Chongzhen!

Huang Taiji also knew that he couldn't play Zhang Bin, so he tried a series of tricks to let Xue Guoguan slander in front of Chongzhen and clean up Zhang Bin, but unfortunately, Xue Guoguan didn't succeed, Zhang Bin was not killed by Chongzhen, and he didn't even move the position of deputy assistant to the cabinet, but was removed from the post of governor of the five provinces.

This is also the reason why Huang Taiji has not dared to launch, but after the resurgence of the anti-thieves in the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji began to move again, this time, not only because the anti-thieves attracted a large number of Ming troops, but more importantly, his plan to clean up Zhang Bin seems to have played a certain role.

Zhang Xianzhong is turning the world upside down in Sichuan, Chongzhen doesn't use Zhang Bin, Li Zicheng is out of control in Henan, Chongzhen still doesn't need Zhang Bin, it seems that his plan still has a certain effect, Chongzhen doesn't plan to use Zhang Bin.

If the Ming army does not have Commander Zhang Bin is a plate of scattered sand, what else is there to be afraid of, Chongzhen used Zuo Liangyu to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng's news to Shenyang, he ran to Liaoyang to start preparing, when the fifth battalion of the left took the Luzhou Mansion, Chongzhen did not use Zhang Bin's news to Liaoyang, he did not hesitate to lead the army to Haizhou, Zhang Bin abolished the Ming army is equivalent to abolishing, do not take this opportunity to launch an attack and wait when!

In order not to give the Ming court time to react, he did not hesitate to urge his foot soldiers to march wildly, and before midnight in the morning, he led the army to set off, and in the afternoon, before the unitary hour, he arrived outside Haizhou City.

Immediately afterwards, he led 60,000 foot soldiers of the Eight Banners to surround the west of Haizhou City, and ordered the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Eight Banners of Mongolia to defend the north and south sides of Haizhou City respectively.

Early the next morning, he gathered all his generals to the tent and prepared to begin the siege.

I have to say that there are really a lot of capable people in his family, and the handsome tent is basically his brothers and nephews, and there are few generals with foreign surnames, but they are not very united internally, even if they are brothers, there are several who do not deal with him.

He seemed to think about it for a while, and then ordered: "Dolgon, you lead the Eight Banners to attack in the north, start building siege equipment and filling the trenches today, and within three days, you must launch a fierce attack on the northern wall." ”

"Why me again?" , Dolgon is helpless in his heart, every time there is a dangerous mission, the first thing Huang Taiji thinks of is him, the Ming army has artillery, don't you want my life!

However, Huang Taiji didn't want him to die once or twice, he had already practiced life-saving kung fu, and it was not so easy to let him die in battle.

He had cursed Huang Taiji countless times in his heart, but on the surface, he did not hesitate to obey the order, and then strode out.

Huang Taiji squinted his eyes and looked at his back, and then ordered: "Azig, you lead the Han Eight Banners to assist in the south, and you will also start building siege equipment and filling trenches today, and within three days, you must launch an attack on the city wall, however, you must always pay attention to the movements of the Ming army in the south, and be careful of their sneak attack behind." ”

Azig was also angry and scolded Huang Taiji in his heart for being ruthless, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only give up his orders.

Huang Taiji thought for a while, and then ordered: "Qi'er Harang, you lead the eight banners on the left wing to build siege equipment, Duoduo, you lead the eight banners on the right wing to prepare to fill the trench in the west." ”

This guy, Huang Taiji is really ruthless, the three unlucky brothers Azig, Dolgon, and Duoduo are all working to eat cannonballs, and it is really not easy for them to survive until now.

Huang Taiji led an army of 180,000 to surround Haizhou with great fanfare and prepare to attack the city, what is the situation on Sun Chuanting's side, will he be afraid?

Of course he wouldn't be afraid, at this moment he was standing on the city wall north of Haizhou City and using a telescope to pay attention to the Mengbaqi camp six or seven miles away, he didn't have the slightest fear on his face, and even, after putting down the binoculars, he was still smiling and discussing with Zheng Hua the issue of artillery bombardment density.

Why did he run to the northern wall instead of going to the west to confront Huang Taiji?

This question, the young general Hou Gongji also wanted to know, he held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help but remind: "My lord, it doesn't seem to be the main force of Jiannu here, the main force of Jiannu seems to be in the west." ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he taught seriously: "Jiannu has always spared his life, and they will generally send Meng Yuan's infantry or the attached Han army to attack the city, and fifty miles away to the west is the defense area of the Liaodong Army, and more than 100 miles away from the south is the defense area of the Dongjiang Army, they will definitely not dare to attack the city with all their might, only in the north, behind them are their base camps Liaoyang and Shenyang, they can attack the city without any scruples, you know?" ”

When Hou Gong heard this, his face couldn't help showing reverence, the Governor is powerful, he can think of anything.

The reason why Sun Chuanting was able to become a commander in the late Ming Dynasty was not because he was sent by the enemy, but because he was thoughtful, he could always anticipate the enemy's opportunity.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a team of elite horsemen to gallop from the side of the Manchurian Eight Banners camp in the west, and then the Mengbaqi camp moved, and countless foot soldiers poured out of the camp gate, lined up one phalanx after another outside the camp, and it was obvious that they were ready to fill the trenches.

Sun Chuanting smiled calmly, and then said to Hou Gongji: "Gongji, wait for the artillery to be commanded by General Zheng first, you can study on the side." ”

When Hou Gong heard this, he couldn't help but obey the order, and the reverence on his face became even stronger, the governor was like a god, and as soon as the words fell, the enemy was ready to attack!
