Chapter 53: Wu Sangui, Your Old Friend Is Here
Yang Qing's retreat was successfully completed.
In fact, his side is the easiest, because his landing ground is at the foot of Tianjiao Mountain, and the Qing army attacking from the north can only go around to the west and take a narrow mountain path because of the tidal flats and mountain forests, not to mention that they are blocked by those startled war horses at this time, even if they are not blocked, as long as the Mingshun coalition army withdraws this narrow mountain road, Yang Qing is also capable enough to play a trick.
Eventually, all of his men boarded the ship and withdrew to the sea on the low tide.
A total of 4,362 people were evacuated.
Among them, Li Laiheng's Shun army was 2,150 people, and the 3,000 Shun army killed a total of 850 people in the continuous battles during this period, they should be said to be the core of this coalition army, and nearly one-third of the casualties were also very large.
Three hundred and twenty Jinyi guards.
Originally, there were five hundred people who went north this time, and a total of one hundred and eighty people were killed, although they were not the main force of the battle, but they never flinched. In fact, if they are allowed to fight with the same number of Ming troops now, they will basically lose the latter, especially because they have the same background and even many are familiar with each other, this small team has always been quite united, and they have completely advanced and retreated together on the battlefield.
That's qualified!
In the final analysis, actual combat is the best way to train troops, although the loss is a little bigger, but it can really make people grow.
Yang Qing's house slaves were 850 people.
Originally, they were more than a thousand, and these were actually all wrappings anyway, collected when they were bloodbathed in those post stations before, collected in Niuzhuang, collected when attacking the Qing army's rearguards, and collected in Jinzhou City, anyway, the total number of coatings should add up to no less than two thousand, but not all of these people followed Yang Qing, followed by the Shun army and even those Ming army generals, but most of them still followed Yang Qing.
As for the rest, it was the Ming army.
And there are still some who stay on the ship and are responsible for transportation.
In the end, the nearly 9,000 Mingshun coalition troops who had followed Yang Qing from the beginning of the raid on Niuzhuang evacuated Tianjiao Mountain with him, not counting those who were anyway, there were less than 6,000.
Losses also amounted to a third.
But the rest are real soldiers!
In more than 20 days, not counting what Yang Qing killed, the Qing army that died in their hands alone has exceeded 5,000, plus a total of more than 20,000 eight banners in Niuzhuang and Jinzhou folded in their hands, when did the Ming army have such a brilliant victory? Although the vast majority of them are old and weak women and children, the Ming army never cared about this when they cut off people's heads to record meritorious service, and they all faked and built slaves themselves.
Of course, the enmity with the Qing army can be called a common one!
Looking at the Qing troops who poured into the beach and roared angrily towards the sea, as well as the coalition troops who were so idle that they were happy to scold them on the deck because they were completely safe, Yang Qing did not hesitate to order a U-turn to the south.
Immediately afterwards, they caught up with Han Zanzhou in the south, who had also withdrawn from the bay.
The latter's subordinates were not actually able to withdraw all, the time was still too short after all, and the last more than 2,000 people were still overwhelmed by the angry Qing cavalry, but this Ming army with a total strength of 30,000 troops, and finally withdrew to the sea more than 25,000, which should be said to be thanks to Yang Qing and Li Laiheng's resistance in the north, Han Zanzhou was also very grateful for this, although his landing also saved Yang Qing.
After the two fleets rendezvous, they continued southward, and when they arrived at Juehua Island, Ningyuan was completely controlled by Li Guo.
However, the Qing advance of the counteroffensive also arrived.
But there is no need for Yang Qing to worry about the matter here, because Song Quan has already transported more than fifty Hongyi cannons and more than 100 Fulong machines into Ningyuan, and also transported a large amount of ammunition and materials, together with the elite of the Shun army under Li Guo, this fortress has quickly become an impregnable wall.
Whether Dorgon can bite it or not depends on his ability.
Han Zanzhou left Fang Guoan to guard Juehua Island.
Although it is not their duty here, but before the arrival of the follow-up Mingshun coalition army, this logistics base must still be guarded, and they continued to go south after picking up Princess Kunxing, but Yang Qing did not follow, he took four horses to Shanhaiguan after landing in the middle and rear stations, and only half an hour later, he met Tang Tong, who led the infantry of the Shun army, in the front guard.
The latter only went north after meeting the cavalry escorted by Li Guo to Aobai.
Yang Qing told him about the situation and continued south.
Along the way, he continued to change the war horses from the Shun army and the Ming army he encountered, relying on his strong physical fitness, and finally rushed back to the old dragon head before sunset in an hour and a half, and at this time the Shun cavalry escorting Ao Bai had just passed through the Nanhai Pass, Yang Qing couldn't go to Ninghai City to see Empress Yi'an and Xu Hongji, and after catching up with this cavalry, he went straight to the south wing of Shanhaiguan, and only half an hour later a carriage carried Ao Bai nailed on the cross and rushed out of the city gate......
"Wu Sangui, look who's coming!"
Yang Qing jumped in front of the Wangyang Gate and shouted.
"Do you still know your old friend Aobai? He's waiting for you right here! It's a pity that Dolgon ran away quickly, otherwise grandpa brought him to join you at a table, and the Guan Ningjun brothers who were closed were originally loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty and guarded the frontier for the Ming Dynasty for decades, so why bother to follow Wu Sangui to death? Dolgon has been defeated and fled, Li Guohan was hacked to death by my heavenly painting halberd, Suke Saha was smashed into rotten meat by my mace, Jinzhou Wagniuzhuang was washed in blood by me, Liu Zhiyuan was beheaded by Li Laiheng, and even Ao Bai was captured by me. Empress Yi'an and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have an order, the soldiers and civilians in the city will behead the heads of the slaves and send His Majesty out of the city, and those who behead the Ai Du Rites will reward the general soldiers, what are you waiting for? ”
Yang Qing rode his horse and galloped wildly, while holding a copper trumpet and shouting at the city wall.
Behind him, a hundred Ming soldiers repeated in unison.
Three hundred meters away, there was silence at Wangyang Gate, and all the defenders were silently watching him.
This once majestic city gate has been devastated, the city tower has completely become a ruin, the arrow battlements have also become dog-toothed, there are gaps everywhere that have been broken by cannonballs, the mottled surface of rammed earth exposed after the collapse of the city bricks can be seen everywhere on the city wall, and even the city wall has been blown down, but it is blocked again with wood and stone, and countless dead bodies of the Shun army and the Qing army are scattered in the gap, it is obvious that the Shun army has broken through the city wall, but it was pushed out by the Qing army inside.
However, this is also normal, after all, this battle has lasted for nearly a month now, and if it weren't for Adoli's Qing army, the Guanning army alone would definitely not be able to hold out now.
"Wu Sangui, don't come out yet!"
Yang Qing continued to shout as he ran wildly.
Behind him, the chariot pretended to be a prostration, and followed closely behind.
Poor Ao Bai was crucified, facing the Shanhaiguan, his pigtails were pulled back, his head was slightly raised, and he looked at the city wall with a loveless expression.
He couldn't even speak.
Yang Qing didn't want him to tell Wu Sangui that the army led by Dolgon was actually not repulsed, since of course he cut his tongue first, and the poor Manchurian No. 1 Baturu had been completely tortured at this time like those weak girls in the cellar of the devil, staring at the empty eyes and heart like ashes. However, the figure of Eduri and the Qing army on the opposite wall still made him quickly sober up, and he immediately struggled like crazy, and at the same time made a strange sound in his mouth, but unfortunately his hands and feet were directly nailed to the cross behind his back, and his struggle was of no use except to make himself more painful.
"General, you can't start with such a bump!"
A middle-aged man beside him was holding on to the cross and shouted to Yang Qing with a sad face.
"And do you want to stop being shelled?"
Yang Qing turned his head and said speechlessly.
Indeed, there was still a bunch of various artillery waiting on the wall opposite them, and they were now within the aiming range of the cannons, so it was very risky to pretend to be forced.
It is necessary to gallop like this all the time to avoid being targeted.
It's good that there is also a bunch of cannons behind them.
The dozens of Hongyi cannons of the Shun army were all placed behind, and the Fran machine was not far from them, ready to provide them with fire suppression at any time, but at this time, in order not to affect his pretense, these cannons were just waiting.
For the sake of his own life, the executioner had to hold on to the galloping carriage, he first took a rope as a safety belt, first hung his waist on the cross arm, and then stripped the clothes on Aobai's body, and then patted the strong chest muscles on Aobai's chest with embarrassment, it was obvious that such strong muscles were about to be destroyed by his own hands, such a thing was still very regrettable, and then he took out a sharp knife and began to prepare, and even an assistant next to him waited with a basin.
This scene made Shanhaiguan stunned.
The generals with binoculars, the soldiers with good enough eyesight, all looked at the burly figure on the cross in disbelief, although three hundred meters was still a small distance, but it was enough for them to determine the identity of Aobai. The number one general of the Qing Dynasty, the first Baturu in Manchuria, can be said to be the idol of the younger generation of Eight Banner athletes, and the killing god who has made the Guanning army flee on the battlefield countless times, is crucified like a dead dog at this moment, and is also like a dead dog waiting to be slaughtered, waiting for the executioner's slaughter......
Ling Chi, to be precise.
Whether it is the Qing army or the Guan Ning army, they all know very well what the executioner is going to do?
This scene simply collapsed them, this must have been the defeat of Dorgon's army, if it was not a real fiasco, how could a general of Aobai's level be captured alive?
This, this, how is this good......
"Check the Jianzhou traitor Guerjia. Ao worship, the father and son of the wild boar skin of the rebel slave for many generations, resisted the poison of Liaodong by Wang Shi, and now he is punished for the crime of great rebellion, and Ling Chi is executed! ”
Yang Qing suddenly shouted.
The executioner's knife immediately fell on Aobai's chest......
