"Old Seven, you can't join forces with me, the goal is too big, we will all die, quickly disperse the soldiers and horses." The fourth son of Daishan, who had a crooked helmet and slanted armor, said to Bel Wakda on his horse, and shouted to the seventh brother Beizi Manda Hai.

Among the ranger troops on the periphery of Liaoyang, Dai Shan's two sons led the two largest ones, and the bloody lesson made the Qing army know that the Tiance Army was powerful in air reconnaissance, this thing was terrible, and the brigade couldn't hide it.

"Fourth brother." Man Dahai was about to cry: "What the hell is this fighting for?" I didn't touch a single hair of the Tiance Army, and I lost most of the centaurs, and I think yours has lost a lot of money. ”

Wakda said: "My father is in Liaoyang, and we must try our best to hold back the Tiance army, you listen to me, and scatter the soldiers and horses." ”

"Hold off the Tiance Army?" Man Dahai laughed more ugly than crying and said, "What are we dragging?" What else can we do but hug our heads and run away, it's just that we will die early and die later. Now that the emperor has been captured, the morale of the army is no longer stable, the soldiers and horses are scattered, and the people's hearts are scattered, so this battle can no longer be fought like this. ”

"Cangchang!" With a sound, Wakda suddenly pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Old Seven, don't forget, you are the son of Prince Heshuoli, if you want to surrender, don't blame your brother's men for being ruthless." ”

"Fourth brother, please don't be impatient." Man Dahai said disapprerovingly: "My brother decided to return to Liaoyang and assist my father in defending the city, it is better than dying here in vain, is the fourth brother willing to go with me?" ”

Of course, Wakda knew that what Mandahai said was the truth, since the news of Huang Taiji's capture came, he was beaten by the Tiance army and was powerless, and the negative mood spread among the Qing army, and most people understood that this was a war with no hope.

Inserting the waist knife back into the scabbard, Wakda sighed and said, "That's it, you and my brother will go back to Liaoyang together." ”

Man Dahai was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's really good, fourth brother, let's leave now!" ”

The morale of the Qing army, which was originally depressed, was boosted by leaving the dangerous place, and they took advantage of the night to gallop and head towards Liaoyang.

It's a pity that the road back is not a smooth road at all, and a large number of cavalry dispatches immediately attracted the attention of the Tiance army.

The Wuzhi-9 helicopter continued routine reconnaissance at night, and the Tiance Army set up several blockade lines in tens of thousands of square kilometers.

Air raids, artillery bombardments, the pursuit and collision of armored vehicles, the Qing army's marching route flashed from time to time with explosive fires and bullets across the night sky.

After entering the city gate, carefully counting the remainder, Doroqian Beylevakda could not help but cry bitterly, more than 15,000 cavalry, and less than 1,800 people returned. Mandahai's army originally numbered nearly 9,000, but now it is just over 1,000 left.

Prince Daishan himself came to see his two sons, and Wakda and Mandahai immediately knelt down and said, "The child is guilty of death, please punish the father." ”

The country suffered a great change, Huang Taiji was captured, and Shengjing abandoned it, Liaoyang has become an isolated island, and under the repeated bad news, Dai Shan looks even older.

Dai Shan sighed: "It is a blessing for you to be able to come back safely, so let's stick to Liaoyang with your father." ”

"The child obeys!" The two said in unison.

Dai Shan also said that Liaoyang had become a place of death, and he hoped that these two adult sons could travel thousands of miles away and keep their own blood and bones.

The family members who stayed in Shengjing and several underage sons have been coerced by Dolgon to go north, the future is bleak, life and death are uncertain, and it is very likely that their own vein will be cut off from now on.

Off the coast of Yaozhou, the former enemy headquarters of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Tiance Army.

"Report to the commander, after three days of sweeping, most of the cavalry arranged by Jiannu on the outer line of Liaoyang has been wiped out or defeated, and it is difficult to see the cavalry in formation. According to the situation of aerial reconnaissance, a part of the Jiannu cavalry has escaped into Liaoyang, and our 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 6th divisions, a total of four divisions, have already approached Liaoyang, and several division commanders have repeatedly called to request an offensive against Liaoyang. ”

"My Fourth Division, Wang Hongwu, has moved to the vicinity of Xipingbao to the west of Shengjing, and is deploying along the Liuhe River. Yesterday, the 1st Division of the 4th Division annihilated a 3,000-strong Jiannu force near Shiziling, which, according to the captives, was one of the vanguard of the Qing army that had fled from Shengjing. ”

"The Second Division in the northern part of Shengjing has been divided into six regiments and after continuous operations yesterday and today, they intercepted and eliminated more than 16,000 Qing troops who fled from Shengjing in Sandaogang, Hujia's Nest, Ao Niubao and other places, and captured nearly 20,000 people who were coerced.

The operational staff officer explains the recent battlefield developments on the large map. After Huang Taiji was captured, Shengjing had been beaten, and the staff of the Tiance Army believed that Shengjing's Qing army would withdraw at any time, and some people suggested that the second division in the north of Shengjing should immediately press and block the escape route of the Qing army.

Wang Yue put forward a different opinion, if the Qing army was blocked, and the Qing army chose to defend Shengjing, with the ability of the Tiance army to attack the fortifications, Shengjing City was likely to be destroyed in the war, which added difficulty to the post-war reconstruction.

As the largest city in eastern Liaodong, Shengjing has been expanded many times since Huang Taiji came to power, and now it is quite large-scale.

After the elimination of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the encompassing of Liaodong, the starting point city will focus on the construction of Liaodong for a long time. The first thing to do is immigration, the source of immigration, one is Shandong, Henan and other places, and the other is Liukou.

Liaodong is sparsely populated, there are fewer cities, and there are no large cities, only Shengjing is still a bit large.

The starting point city needs to have a foothold in Liaodong as soon as possible, and the location of Shengjing is the best, not as remote as Dalian Lushun, so it is best to keep Shengjing City intact.

Therefore, according to Wang Yue's opinion, the General Staff formulated a strategy to lure the snake out of the hole.

Wang Yue said: "Dolgon is very cunning, it seems that he fled in many ways, so how many people are there in Shengjing City now?" ”

Chief of Staff Li Zixiong said: "It is said that Shengjing is now an empty city, but it is not. As far as we know, Shengjing originally had a population of more than 200,000 people, which included the Qing army's garrison and the families of princes and ministers, as well as domestic slaves. Dolgon left in a hurry, and he didn't have time to take away all the people, and those who volunteered to go with him were basically the banner people in the inner city, and the Han people in the outer city were taken away, but most of them were stranded, so the remaining population of Shengjing should still have more than 100,000 people. ”

Wang Yue nodded and said, "Order the Fifth Division near Liaoyang to immediately go north to take over Shengjing to prevent the Hinayana from messing around and sabotaging." The 1st Division also sent a brigade north to attack Dorgon's rear. ”
