Chapter Twenty-Three: The Cavalry of the Wharf Shakes Shengjing City

In fact, Wei Xiang really couldn't blame the Manchu court for sending such a small number of thousands of cavalry to kill them, and most of the cavalry followed Dolgon to the Jinzhou front. Most of the people who stayed in Shengjing were infantry, but the infantry moved too slowly, so they didn't send the infantry out.

Since the mouth of the river was attacked, and it was discovered that there were boats with kiln posts going upstream, the officers and men sent 800 li to rush to Shengjing (Shenyang) to make an emergency. I don't know how many fast horses these heralds changed on the way, but it was not until dawn in Shengjing that they could deliver the urgent letter to the regent's palace.

Now the military information is not sent to the palace, but needs to be sent to the regent palace. However, the regent Dolgon had already gone to the front line of Songjin, and the regent's people did not know how to deal with the urgent military situation, so they had no choice but to send the urgent letter to the Heshuo Beldaishan Mansion in Shengjing (Shenyang). After Dai Shan saw the news, although he didn't dare to slack off, he thought that this was true, and it was not enough for the Yaogang people to come in so far from the river, Shengjing (Shenyang) was the capital of the Qing Dynasty after all, and the Eight Banners had soldiers and horses guarding Shengjing, adding up to tens of thousands of people, although these people could not go out to fight, but they could still fight at home, and if they really fought, Shengjing Manchurian men could participate in the war, so I don't know how many people there were. Besides, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and if the surrounding soldiers and horses are mobilized, they can gallop to Shengjing (Shenyang). Therefore, Dai Shan ordered this matter not to be too public, so as not to cause turmoil due to unstable people's minds. Of course, Dai Shan did not forget to inform the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners who stayed behind guarding the Eight Gates of Shengjing to be prepared. However, although the officers and men all promised to be ready, they all felt that the war was far away from them.

But as soon as the city gate was opened today, someone came to report to Daishan: "The boat of the Yaogang people has arrived at the Luoshiquaner Wharf in the north of the city, and has killed many Qing soldiers who collect taxes on the wharf. ”

Dai Shan knew that trouble was coming, but he still didn't think that the Yaogang people who came were capable of attacking Shengjing (Shenyang). He judged that if a large number of kiln gang people came, there should be soldiers and horses under the city of Shengjing (Shenyang) now. If the Yaogang people wanted to march to Shengjing (Shenyang) by water, they would also send some people to occupy the wharf first and gain a firm foothold, and the army behind them might be able to fight. Therefore, Dai Shan immediately gathered all the cavalry in Shengjing City that could be summoned immediately, and rushed to the Luo Shiquan'er Wharf together, asking them to kill the bold Yaogang people. Dai Shan stood on the city gate and looked at the thousands of cavalry out of the city, thinking to himself, just rely on my Manchurian iron cavalry to deal with a few kiln gang people who have not established a firm foothold, and if they charge over, they will be cut off and their heads will roll all over the ground.

This time, it was a four-grade general who led the troops to battle, and this counselor felt that the old prince of Heshuo Belle Daishan was a little old, and some Han people who came to the kiln gang also made such a big move, and let himself be such a general with more than 5,000 cavalry to come out to exterminate them. After the reluctant generals came out, they began to hate these Han people who came out to make trouble, and made their good lives bad. I thought I couldn't spare them.

Ten miles of horseback arrived quickly, and at this time, the scout who inquired in front came back and reported, "General's people, on the dock in front, the kiln gang people have arranged positions such as rejecting horses. Why don't you go check it out first? ”

The general waved his hand and said, "No need, there are not many of them." Let's not stop, rush over and cut them all down. I'm going back to the city for something! ”

The general thought to himself, just because these Han people built a simple anti-horse position, they knew that they were afraid. If they were strong enough, they would have lined up to fight me in a big battle. Besides, our Manchurian iron cavalry is rampant all over the world, and even the Mongolian iron cavalry has been defeated in our hands, and these few Han people who came up from the river ditch are not enough for us to do a dozen.

These Eight Banner cavalry are also fierce, and when they heard that there were Han people coming, they had long wanted to kill and make meritorious contributions. Hearing the general's order, "Whoop" shouted and waved his shiny saber and rushed towards the improvised position arranged by the kiln workers. These positions are like a joke in their eyes.

But they are about to pay the price for their carelessness. Just as these cavalrymen shouted and rushed closer to fifty meters in front of the Yaogang people's formation, and before they could get close to the rejection of their horses, many heads appeared on the position where they laughed in their hearts, and before they could see what was going on, the light and heavy machine guns and automatic rifles of the Yaogang infantry opened fire at the same time. A dense rain of bullets rained down on the cavalrymen who were about to slash and kill the kiln men. The horses and cavalry that charged at high speed immediately fell to the ground and rolled to the ground in a rain of bullets, and at the same time, mortars and infantry guns behind the positions opened fire on the rear of these cavalry. The "boom" of the exploding shells immediately blew up the cavalry in the rear and turned them on their backs. The brave Manchu cavalry, screaming and screaming, kept falling off their horses, and most of them fell down with their horses. It was difficult for the cavalry to stop the horse, and when the cavalry stopped the impact, more than half of the casualties had been lost, fortunately, the general who did not fall off the horse understood the current situation, and it was impossible to retreat, the artillery of the kiln gang people had been blocking their back road, and at this moment when they hesitated, the earth suddenly shook, and twenty kiln gun carriages drove out of the hidden tunnel. Although these gun trucks were driving very slowly, the gun trucks were moving in, and the heavy machine guns and parallel machine guns on the gun trucks were firing together with tongues of fire at the same time. The guns on the artillery cart also continued to shoot "dong dong", constantly blowing up the cavalry.

Seeing that the cavalry, which was constantly being defeated, had no way to retreat, the general commanded the cavalry to charge these artillery carriages. However, very few cavalrymen could get into the gun carriage, and only a few cavalry occasionally approached the gun carriage, and their sabers sparked in the sports car, much to the amuse of the heavy machine gunners in the sports car. It was inconvenient to turn the muzzle of the heavy machine gun, so they took out the pistols on their bodies and dealt with these brave cavalrymen who were shocked and numb. There were also many horses and cavalry that were directly crushed under the tracks of the artillery trucks. The tragic situation made the kiln soldiers behind them close their eyes.

The general didn't know when he had been beaten into a sieve. When he finally cleaned up the battlefield, he could be seen through his armor that he was a general, but he was run over by the tracks of a gun truck. Rolling up the corpses of the generals in mats, Wei Xiang asked the two captives to be pulled back to Shengjing City in a broken carriage, and asked them to bring a message to the Manchu Emperor, and we were about to enter Shengjing City.

The Manchu cavalry attacked quickly, and the Yaogang people did not fight slowly, and the battle ended quickly without dragging mud and water. The battle ended with hundreds of horses running out. Wei Xiang didn't let him chase again. He knew that he needed some people to send letters to Shengjing City, so that the people in Shengjing City could send letters to Dolgon.

The battle on the dock came and ended quickly, and just after the battle, the kiln gang people were cleaning the battlefield, and the surrounding people boldly came to help. Later, Wei Xiang ordered everyone who came to help to take care of the meal, eat horse meat together, and bring a piece of horse meat when he left. The bold children surrounded the gun truck of the kiln gang and asked the soldiers on the gun truck of the kiln gang to ask questions about each other. The soldiers of Yaogang joked with them and answered their questions, encouraging them to exercise hard and come out to be soldiers in the future. The children all wanted to be artillery drivers, and some of them even got a few candy balls from the kiln people to eat. These children are all propagandists of the kiln gang people, and they talk about the benefits of the kiln gang soldiers everywhere. Doing ideological work is a skill that the soldiers of the kiln gang usually train.

In just one day, the military-civilian relationship near the Luo Shi Quaner Wharf suddenly became closer to a family. The people around them felt that they saw hope. At first, they were afraid that these people would not be able to defeat the strong Manchu army, because the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty could not defeat the Manchu army, and now it seems that the Manchu army is nothing more than that, and thousands of cavalry have become horse meat in front of the Yaogang people. The people believed more in what they saw.

These escaped cavalrymen fled back to Shengjing (Shenyang) City in horror without losing their armor, but Dai Shan was frightened, especially when he took a look at the corpse of the general, he almost didn't vomit after a long battle, that kind of thing that crushes people like that is really terrible. Dai Shan hurriedly sent someone to report to Dolgon urgently, ordered all the gates of Shengjing to be closed quickly, and mobilized all officers and soldiers to defend the city. After giving the order, he immediately entered the palace and reported the situation to Concubine Zhuang.

Since Emperor Shunzhi is still young, everything is taken care of by Concubine Zhuang, which is also deliberately done by Concubine Zhuang in order to protect the little emperor. Dolgon now firmly grasped the power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Concubine Zhuang adopted an attitude of forbearance, concession and compromise under the pressure of Dolgon's step-by-step progress. Her method was to constantly put on a high hat and give Dolgon a title, so that Dolgon would not be able to depose the emperor and stand on his own. In October of the first year of Shunzhi, he was crowned as the regent of his uncle, and then he was crowned the regent of his uncle. Later, he stopped bowing before Dolgon. Emperor Shunzhi is only a nominal emperor, which is also intentional by Concubine Zhuang.

But the kiln gang people called, and Dai Shan didn't dare not report to the palace. Concubine Zhuang told Dai Shan: "Old prince, thank you for your hard work!" At such an age, you still have to worry about this Qing Dynasty, I thank you on behalf of the emperor. But for now, it's better to leave the military affairs to the regent. The emperor is still young, and the old prince still reports the military situation to the regent as soon as possible. The affairs of the capital will have to worry about the old prince. I don't think my Eight Banners disciples will let the Han people into the city. ”

Of course, Prince Dai Shan of Heshuoli knew that Concubine Zhuang deliberately pushed the matter to the regent Dorgon, and he came to it as a courtesy, "Back to Niangniang!" I have sent a fast horse to inform the regent. Please rest assured that we will not let the Han people enter Shengjing. ”

In fact, Dai Shan also knows that there is a panic in Shengjing (Shenyang) now, and many princes and nobles are cleaning up, and if the situation is not good, they are ready to flee. If it weren't for the fact that the gates were closed now, there would have been a large number of people fleeing from the city.

Dai Shan returned to the palace and issued another order, before the emperor left the city, anyone who left would be punished as collaborators. He also ordered the mobilization of troops from all over the surrounding areas to escort Shengjing (Shenyang).

In fact, Dolgon didn't need to send people to send information on behalf of Shan, he had his own intelligence system, and as soon as the Yaogang people arrived at the Luoshiquaner Wharf, some people began to send information to him at a gallop on the Songjin front.

Supposedly, Dolgon's decision was correct, and the only option he could make was to win a battle here and then return to Shengjing (Shenyang).

However, this is also what Jiang Ji hopes for the most.

After Jiang Wei said that Li Wei should watch it himself, and how he could use it to bring special forces, Li Wei suggested at the headquarters: "Let our air force be dispatched now!" We promise not to provoke Dorgon or interfere with your military plans. Just lifted off for reconnaissance. What do you think? ”

"Good! Deputy Commander, in order to grasp the situation, we have sent a large number of scouts, and it would be better if you reconnoitred from the air. But don't attack Dorgon. We're going to play slowly. Jiang Jian said, "I know that your air force can already carry **." When we attack, you will act together. ”

"Good! My little birds are already suffocating. Li Wei got up and said, "I'll let them take off for aerial reconnaissance right away." I'll let you know by radio what's going on around your attack points. ”

The pilots brought by Li Wei were really aggrieved, and at home they could go up to the sky almost every day to fly around, and they could use that plane to fly a take-off and landing without flying a delta wing. However, after swaying in a car for so many days, they stayed at the place without doing anything, and these flight officials who had thought of coming out to participate in the battle and make meritorious contributions before setting off were really uncomfortable, especially Jiang Zhu and they had already started to attack several of Dorgon's outlying strongholds, and they were even more anxious.

As soon as Li Wei's car arrived, the pilots surrounded him and shouted.

"General Li, when will we be able to fly?"

"General Li, when are we going to fight?"

“”

"What the are you yelling about?" Li Wei scolded and said as he got out of the car, "Come in with Lao Tzu." As he spoke, he walked towards the tent at the headquarters.

As soon as the pilots saw that there was a door this time, they all followed Li Wei into the tent of the command headquarters.

After entering the big tent, Li Wei went directly to the front of the map and said to the air force flight captain, "We will take off immediately," and pointed to the three places marked on the map where the Yaogang people were attacking, and said, "Your focus is to reconnoiter in the sky over these three places where there is fighting, and report the situation." Remember not to take any military action in the air. ”

When the pilots heard Li Wei's words, they all let out "Oops! Some said, "Oops! Let's go up and watch the excitement, huh? "That's right! We practice bomb throwing every day, and now we don't have to do this, what are we doing? ”

Li Wei Zhengse said: "If anyone fails to abide by this discipline, he is not allowed to go to heaven." Seeing that everyone was silent, he added, "We can't scare Dorgon away, try to keep him." If it were a fight, we would have blown up a few points here a long time ago. Do you still need to go up and drop bombs? ”

Or the flight captain knows how to fly now, "General Li, we promise not to take action, you can rest assured that we will go up to investigate the situation." ”

Li Wei continued: "You must not only investigate the situation at these three points, but also investigate the situation in the entire theater. If necessary, take a picture of the photo. With you in heaven, if you are missing any important information, you will have a great responsibility. ”

"Yes, we promise to get the job done." The flight captain said, "We have shared the coordinates of the theater of operations with the artillery, and the situation of our reconnaissance and the situation of the artillery reconnaissance can be shared." Now it is much more convenient for us to correct the command of the artillery in the air. ”

"Good! Fight to find a chance for our rocket artillery to show their faces. Li Wei made a joke, but he didn't expect it to come true soon.

This time, Jiang Pai and their troops attacked the three outlying strongholds in front of Jinzhou at the same time, Tashan, Xingshan, and Daxingbao (Daxingbao of Black Mountain). In order to hold Dolgon and put pressure on him so that he could not leave.

Dolgon decided to concentrate his forces on the periphery of Daxingbao (Daxingbao in Montenegro) to destroy the besieging Yaogang army, and strive to play a little prestige and boost morale. Therefore, he ordered the Red Banner, the White Banner, the Han Red Banner Cavalry and the Mongolian Horqin Cavalry to concentrate their forces on the Yaogang army attacking Daxingbao. It was also because it was hilly, and the terrain was suitable for cavalry combat.

There were more than 20,000 Mongolian cavalry concentrated this time, 8,000 cavalry with red and white flags, and more than 20,000 cavalry with red flags in the Han army. After they assembled, the troops set out on the bank of the Xiaoling River in two ways, the Mongolian cavalry from north to south, and the Eight Banners cavalry and the Han Eight Banners cavalry from east to west, and they came to the periphery of Daxingbao (Daxingbao in Montenegro). The task given to them by Dolgon was to continue to attack the outskirts of Xingshan if they defeated the Yaogang people on the outskirts of Daxingbao (Daxingbao in Montenegro), and eliminate the Yaogang people who attacked the periphery of Xingshan. The commander-in-chief of the operation was Prince Azig of England. Ever since Azig returned from a defeat on the steppe, he has been looked down upon by his other brothers, and he himself feels that he can't hold his head up. This time he took the initiative to ask Dolgon for his life, and Dolgon also knew that Azig had fought with the Yaogang people, and this time he asked for orders to send troops to take revenge, and besides, Azig was his own brother, and he should show something in times of crisis, so Azig was suitable to command this operation. Dorgon acceded to Azig's request. As Azig was leaving, Dorgon held his brother's hand, and the two brothers were speechless. They all know that fighting with the Yaogang people is more auspicious and less auspicious, and they don't know if they can see each other again.

This time, Dorgon set out with his three sons.

Azig was a general who was born for the battlefield, and when he left the city, he sent a lot of cavalry scouts to sweep the scouts of the kiln people on the periphery before advancing to the assembly area. Azig has always reflected on how he was defeated on the grassland, and knew that the Yaogang people were very well informed when they were fighting, so he took targeted actions before setting off.

However, they did not know that the scouts of the Yaogang people were all ambushed with radio stations, and they found that there was no need to ride back to deliver news when they found the situation, so his actions did not achieve great results. The news of their assembly soon reached Jiang Ping's headquarters, but Jiang Zheng and they didn't know where the target of these cavalry assembled by the Xiaoling River outside Jinzhou City was, so they contacted Li Wei by radio. Li Wei immediately asked the flying team to take off to find these assembled cavalry, and tracked these cavalry, and according to the movements of these cavalry, it was easy to judge that their target was Daxing Fort (Daxing Fort in Montenegro).

When Li Wei heard the news, he stood in front of the map and began to study the situation around this Daxingbao (Daxingbao of Black Mountain), looking at it, Li Wei clapped his hands and said, "God help!" Our rocket artillery, artillery trucks, and mechanized regiments are about to be powerful! ”
