Emperor Ming Fengyunlu

Volume VI The Battle of the Northern Frontier

Chapter 3 is quite stale

Section 1 Preparing for the Offensive and Success

After Huang Taiji led the Zhengbai Banner army to withdraw, in order to prevent Jiannu from killing the horse gun again, Wen Poyu immediately sent Ye Bushu to investigate the truth and truth, and at the same time commanded the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

The army rested for a while, and the eastern sky had gradually whitened, and the fiery red morning glow slowly dyed the sky into a red and yellow color, which was very beautiful. The soldiers of the Changshui Battalion either rested on the spot, counted the captures, or treated the wounded, and were busy under the morning sun.

"It is estimated that Jiannu will really not come back this time, so I can take a little rest now." Wen Poyu said secretly in his heart, then looked at Wu Hang, who was resting on the side, sighed slightly, walked over and said, "Wu Zongqi, now that the battle is over, what are your plans?" ”

Wu Hang said with some hesitation: "General Qiyu, the lower official wants to defect to the general and wants to continue to kill the Tartars." It's just that the position of a subordinate official is in the body, so it's not easy to leave his post without permission. ”

Wen Poyu laughed and said: "What's this, after the army has rested for a while, you can go to the Qianshan camp with me, and in the future, you will be a hundred generals by my side, and those brothers you brought who are willing to come over together will be under your command, and those who are not willing to come with them will return to Tunpu to garrison." As for your superiors, I will personally go to the book to explain the situation and change your military household registration, so you don't have to worry about these things. ”

Wu Hang was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately gathered all his subordinates and announced that he would defect to the Changshui Camp of the Hanwei Army. After the battle, the remaining dozens of Tun soldiers hurriedly expressed their willingness to follow Wu Hang to the Changshui Battalion.

What's the point of staying in a small tunpu? Not only is the military pay in arrears, but there is also no future to speak of; If you can join the Hanwei Army, although there will be a danger to your life, there will be no arrears in military salary, grain and grass, and there will be a lot of military merits, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can make great contributions, and everyone will have the opportunity to glorify their ancestors in the future! Anyone with a little brain can figure this out.

Wen Poyu was overjoyed when he saw this, and announced in front of everyone that he would reorganize these dozens of troops into a pro-health bureau and appoint Wu Hang as the general manager.

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and they were very grateful to Wen Poyu for his trust, and they all expressed their allegiance to the Han Wei army and serve the country.

At this time, the night sent out by Wen Poyu also sent back the news: "The Zhengbai Banner army has withdrawn all the way to the northeast and has arrived in the area of Shimen Pass and Shanghatadun. ”

Wen Poyu laughed when he heard this, and said to Wu Hang: "Look, Huang Taiji is stealing chickens and rice this time, it seems that this time he really withdrew." ”

Wu Hang was also very happy and said, "General, we have won a big battle!" Although our Changshui Battalion has lost a total of 597 soldiers, it has also won the first rank of 988 Jiannu! ”

Who would have thought that Wen Poyu was not very happy when he heard this result, and said angrily: "What kind of big victory is this?" With so many soldiers lost, no matter how you look at this battle, it is a loss! ”

Wu Hang looked at Wen Poyu's flushed face, opened his mouth in some surprise, and forced back the words that had come to his lips, and said curtly: "General, do you think we are ready to pull out?" ”

Wen Poyu nodded, let out a sigh, and said, "Go!" Let's go back to the camp of a thousand mountains! ”

Two days later, Wen Poyu led the soldiers of the Changshui Battalion to rush back to the Qianshan camp and transported back the hundreds of carts of grain and grass. Liu Yunwei took Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Gao Hongguang, Zhao Kaishan, and thousands of generals of each battalion to greet each other outside the Yuanmen, and the soldiers of each battalion heard that a large amount of grain and grass had been transported from the rear, and they gathered near the Yuanmen to watch.

And when Yuan Mingxuan saw Liu Yunwei and the others, he held everyone's hands tightly, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Liu Yunwei laughed and said: "Lord Yuan, these grains you have brought are really a charcoal in the snow, and you have won a month of precious time for the officers and men of the whole army. With this month's time, I am confident that I will take Liaoyang City and break the current deadlock! At that time, even if the supplies on the side of the imperial court really can't keep up, we will be able to defend the city and advance and retreat freely! ”

That night, Liu Yunwei summoned more than 1,000 generals of each battalion to the Chinese army's big tent to discuss the matter of going north to attack Liaoyang City.

Before starting to discuss, Liu Yunwei had already asked Wen Poyu to write a good news about the battle of Xiongyueyi, and sent a team of men and horses to the capital to report the victory.

After that, Liu Yunwei saw that everyone had arrived, so he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, now Lord Yuan has worked tirelessly to transport grain for thousands of miles, and has brought the grain and grass needed for January for the soldiers of the army, relieving our worries. Now, our Hanwei army is well fed, and I have decided to continue to go north and drive to Liaoyang to prepare for the battle of capturing the city! ”

"Good! Now you can kill the Tartars happily! ”

"We should have started fighting a long time ago, we've been suffocating to death these days!"

"Big brother, how do you say you should fight!"

Liu Yunwei smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said: "According to the news that the night does not receive back, the main force of the Jiannu army has been divided and stationed in Liaoyang, Shenyang, and Hetuala; Among them, two white flags are stationed in Liaoyang, two yellow flags are stationed in Shenyang, and the two red flags and two blue flags that have been heavily attacked by our Hanwei army are stationed in Hetuala. In view of this, I thought that we should break through each and take Liaoyang with heavy troops first. ”

Yuan Mingxuan frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Can the little general be more specific?" The rest of the crowd also looked eagerly.

Liu Yunwei said confidently: "I think like this: my Hanwei army concentrated more than 30,000 main forces of the Chinese army's pacesetter battalion, Feiyu battalion, and Huben battalion to storm Liaoyang City; The trapping camp and the Yingyang battalion bypassed Liaoyang City, waited for an opportunity to move north of Liaoyang, and was ready to block the two yellow banner armies in Shenyang City at any time to prevent Nurhachi from sending troops to rescue Liaoyang; As for the Changshui Battalion, it crossed Shenyang City all the way to the north, wandering along the line of Fushun and Hoi An Fort, to prevent the two red flags and two blue flags of Jiannu from sending reinforcements from Hetuala. Once the main force of our Hanwei army takes Liaoyang, then I will lead the army and the trapping camp and the Yingyang battalion to join the division, and concentrate the main force to the north to recover Shenyang. If the war goes well, after this battle, Jiannu will be completely decayed, and the disaster of Liaodong can be completely pacified within a year! ”

After listening to Liu Yunwei's plan, everyone present thought quietly, and everyone had different expressions, but without exception, no one expressed any opinions. The six battalions of the Hanwei Army had nearly 70,000 soldiers, and the Jiannu army, which was almost the same strength, started a general battle, which was the first life-and-death battle that everyone had encountered, and everyone could not help but be cautious. If this battle is won, it is okay, once the battle situation is unfavorable, then the Hanwei army will be hit hard, and there will be no three or five years to recover at that time, and for such a long time, Jiannu does not know how to swell!

Liu Yunwei looked at everyone's grim faces, sighed secretly in his heart, and then said: "I know that this plan is a bit risky, once the army attacks Liaoyang is unfavorable and the siege battle is delayed, the army will once again face the crisis of insufficient food and grass." In a month at most, two fortified cities defended by elite troops were captured in a row, and the time is indeed not optimistic. But do we have any other choice? The grain and grass brought by Lord Yuan did not change the situation of the battle in Liaodong, but only gave us a chance to change the situation of the war! Now the opportunity is in front of us, it's up to us to seize it! ”

At this time, Yuan Mingxuan looked up at everyone, and then said: "I think the little general is right, we have no other choice, if we don't act according to the little general's plan, then this battle is bound to continue to be consumed." I know the situation on the court side best, it can't last long, and it will be completely cut off at any time. Once the grain and grass I brought are exhausted, and the imperial court cannot guarantee the stability of the army's supply, then we will return to the original point and face the crisis of the army's food shortage again! ”

After listening to Liu Yunwei and Yuan Mingxuan's words, the hesitation on everyone's faces disappeared, replaced by firmness and self-confidence, as well as the desire for the upcoming big war.

"Big brother, give the order!"

"Big brother, you just give the order, this battle must be called Tartar good-looking!"

When Liu Yunwei saw his life and death brothers, his heart was full of confidence, and said: "Since everyone has no opinion, then I will send troops." The congregation will obey the order! ”

"The last general!"

For a while, dozens of generals in the big tent stood up and clenched their fists together, and the sound of iron armor hitting was endless.

Liu Yunwei said loudly: "Early tomorrow morning, the whole army will go north!" I personally led the pacesetter battalion, the Feiyu battalion, and the tiger battalion to storm Liaoyang, and Lord Yuan went north with my pacesetter battalion; The trapping camp and the Yingyang battalion, with Wu Xing as the main general, bypassed Liaoyang and waited for an opportunity to move north of Liaoyang, ready to block the two yellow flags in Shenyang at any time to prevent Nurhachi from rescuing Liaoyang; Wen Polu led the head of the water battalion of the headquarters to cross Shenyang to the north, and wandered along the line of Fushun and Hoi An Fort to prevent Jiannu from sending reinforcements from Hetuala. All battalions rushed to the designated area according to the plan, once the big battle began, everyone must have the determination to die, all battalions must not count the casualties, and no one is allowed to take half a step back! In this battle, I want to make Jiannu's corpses all over the field and rivers of blood! ”

The words are divided into two ends, one for each table.

After Huang Taiji led his army back to Liaoyang, he hurriedly sent someone to Nurhachi to send a message informing him that the Han Wei army had been supplied with grain and grass, and asked for further instructions.

It didn't take long for Nurhachi to send a will: "The two white flags will stick to Liaoyang for a month, and they must not take half a step back!" ”

After Huang Taiji finished reading it, he said to Azig with a stern expression: "It seems that our two white flags are on the cusp." ”
