Chapter 727: The End of the Road
Zu Dashou was also shocked, after Wu Sangui and Zu Dabi came back, Zu Dashou also inquired in detail about the battle situation of the day, and today it seems that the Tiance Army has changed a lot, such as the things that flew in the sky, they didn't mention it. Vertices
"General, the eastern captives have been defeated and cannot form an army, will our army go out of the city to help the Tiance army?"
The massacre outside the city made the Jinzhou officers and soldiers dumbfounded, and after being shocked, seeing the Qing army rushing to the pigs, the deputy general Zu Zerun was eager to try.
The Qing army was defeated very completely, and now is the best time to beat the water dogs to snatch military merits, and other generals in Jinzhou are also moved and have asked for battle.
Zu Dashou looked at the battle situation outside the city and said: "Now is not the time, the tactics of the Tiance army are very different from mine, if our army suddenly intervenes, I am afraid that it will disrupt the subordinates of the Tiance army." First, send someone to contact the Tiance Army to see what the other party's opinion is. ”
In fact, the main reason is that Zu Dashou is worried that his soldiers will be injured by mistake, and the artillery fire of the Tiance Army is too fierce, and the cannonballs don't have long eyes.
The city of Jinzhou was about to send someone to get in touch with the Tiance Army, and the people from the Tiance Army came.
An armored car drove straight to the city of Jinzhou, and suddenly a loud voice sounded: "Listen to the people in the city, please report to General Zu Dashou, my Tiance army is sweeping the Jiannu Duoduo Department, in order to avoid accidental injury, please do not leave the city." After the war is over, our army will send personnel to invite your unit to participate in the sweeping work. ”
The loud voice was repeated three times, and this was the fourth division's political propaganda personnel shouting to the city with a loudspeaker, if the Ming army joined the battle, due to coordination problems, accidental injuries were inevitable.
Ningyuan, Ningyuan Acropolis (now the ancient city of Xingcheng in Huludao City) Jiliao Governor's Mansion Station, Liaodong Governor's Yamen is also located here. Wang Yue is also the economic strategy of Liaodong, and it is said that he can also work in Ningyuan, but he has never been to Ningyuan.
From a historical point of view, due to the loss of a large area of territory in Liaodong and the need for military command of the Qing Dynasty, the small city of Ningyuan was gradually built into a huge military fortress, and its status rose to the political and military center of Liaodong.
But in the era of peace, Ningyuan returned to the true nature of a small city.
Because of the military superiority of the Tiance army, the Manchu Qing had been sentenced to death by Wang Yue, so Ning Yuan's geographical location was not important in Wang Yue's opinion.
The Tiance army landed suddenly, the Qing Duoduo Department suddenly collapsed, and there were gunshots everywhere in Songshan, Xingshan, Tashan, Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and the city of Ningyuan soon got the news that the Tiance army was coming.
The young general Wu Sangui was beaten by Duoduo in Tashan, and when he heard that the Tiance army was coming and the Qing army was defeated, he immediately asked Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, to fight.
Also invited to fight were Bai Guangen, the chief soldier of Jizhou, Ma Ke, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, Wang Tingchen, the chief soldier of the former tun guard, and Xia Chengde, the deputy general of Songshan, but they were all rejected by Hong Chengchou on the grounds that the military situation was unknown.
Hong Chengchou is not a person who is happy about his achievements, when the Qing army has been defeated and the Tiance army has not sent personnel to contact, he will not rush to send troops, as if he is here to grab credit.
He had never been in contact with Wang Yue, but the Tiance Army was also like thunder. For Wang Yue, Hong Chengchou can't talk about likes and dislikes, but the essence of the Tiance army warlord is very clear, and his attitude is to be sincerely vigilant against this force, so the countermeasures he took are basically the same as Chongzhen's, that is, to let the Tiance army and the Manchu Qing fight to the death.
But after watching the combat methods of the Tiance Army with his own eyes, Hong Chengchou knew that this was an invincible force, although the two strong armies of the Ning Army and the Qin Army in his hands may not be enough for the Tiance Army to plug the teeth.
Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong, also accompanied Hong Chengchou to stand at the head of the city to watch the battle, the two looked at each other, and did not speak, but they both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes.
Prince Yu Duoduo was guarded by his own soldier Goshha, and ran to the bank of the Xiaoling River in a smoke, and after collecting the men and horses who escaped with him, he counted them, and the total number was only more than two thousand.
Duoduo wanted to cry without tears, and ordered: "Send someone back to Shengjing immediately, report the situation of the Songjin battle to the emperor, and ask the emperor for guilt on my behalf." ”
Zuo Shenzheng, who escaped with him, said: "Prince Yu, Tiance's army is too strong, and there is nothing to be done, so we should retreat quickly." ”
"Sheng participates in politics, you can go, but this king can't go." Duoduo shook his head and said: "The responsibility of the 100,000 army is the responsibility of this king, and it is the responsibility of the king, so let the king die in the battle array." ”
The responsibility for the loss of 100,000 horses is not small, and with Duoduo's status and brotherly relationship with Huang Taiji, it is not enough to cut off his head. However, the Manchu Qing military law was strict, and Huang Taiji also had to give an explanation to the government and the opposition, and Duoduo's fate was likely to be deprived of his title and lose his original rights.
Therefore, Duoduo is difficult to reconcile, the possibility of turning defeat into victory has been zero, and gathering the remnants of the army and reducing losses is the direction he said he should work towards.
Sheng Zhong knew that persuasion was useless, so he had better run for his life, judging from the offensive of the Tiance Army today, the Qing Dynasty was no longer able to resist the enemy's attack.
Relying on aerial reconnaissance methods, the Qing army was simply unable to gather formed forces to carry out any effective resistance.
On the second day of the battle, the Ming army of Ningyuan and Jinzhou was also invited to participate in the battle by the Tiance army, and the battlefield situation at this time was already very clear, most of the Qing army had been wiped out, and the work to be done now was just to hunt and kill the fish that slipped through the net.
After receiving the invitation of the Tiance Army, Hong Chengchou of Ningyuan and Zu Dashou of Jinzhou gladly accepted the invitation of the Tiance Army, no matter what kind of mentality they had, the military exploits of Bai should not be in vain.
Within a radius of nearly 100 kilometers from Xiaoling River to Ningyuan, another 50,000 or 60,000 Ming troops were added to pursue and kill the remnants of the fleeing Qing army. The military exploits of the Ming army are based on the number of heads, so whether they were killed by the Tiance army or killed by the Ming army themselves, the entire battlefield is full of headless corpses of the Qing army.
Such a war was simply too easy for the Ming army, the Qing army only had a dozen people, dozens of people were a share, and a team of more than 100 people was difficult to find. After the battle was fought like this, the Qing army had no fighting spirit, and most of the people were eager to surrender, not fight.
When they met the Tiance army, they were lucky, and they would basically allow them to surrender, but when they met the Ming army, there was usually only killing, and the hatred between the two sides was not a day.
Duoduo's efforts came to naught, and after the 2,000 soldiers and horses that had been gathered returned to the battlefield, they were immediately attacked by the Tiance Army, and the team was scattered again.
Jinchang Fort on the south bank of the Xiaoling River has been destroyed by the air raid of the Eighteenth Transport Plane, there are ruins everywhere, Duoduo led the remnants to retreat here and hold on to it all night, thousands of Ming troops besieged here, and the strength in Duoduo's hands has shrunk from more than 1,000 people to less than 300 people.
