Text Volume 10, Chapter 3, Section 18 Rectify the north
In the evening, within a radius of dozens of miles from Shimen Pass, there are endless corpses of people and horses, and the piercing river of blood flows everywhere, and the crows and vultures in the sky are even flying everywhere unscrupulously.
Liu Yunwei, Yuan Mingxuan, Zhou Tianyi, Hu Kun and others stood on the city wall of Shimen Pass, looking at the bloody sun in the distance, and everyone's hearts were very heavy.
In the battle of Shimen Pass, Liu Yunwei led the Ming soldiers to achieve a complete victory, under the struggle of hundreds of thousands of Ming children, more than 300,000 Manchu Qing Tartars led by Huang Taiji were wiped out, from Huang Taiji below, Dai Shan, Jier Harang and other large and small leaders were all beheaded, more than 300,000 Qing troops were wiped out!
It can be said that since the Battle of Shimen Pass, most of the Manchu Dynasty has collapsed, and it is only a matter of time before the entire Manchu clan is destroyed and destroyed!
However, in this battle, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty also suffered heavy casualties.
The soldiers of the Hanwei Army's pacesetter battalion lost more than 10,000 soldiers in the final counterattack of Huang Taiji, and under the previous successive battles of the soldiers of the Hanwei Army's battalions, the officers and soldiers of the Hanwei Army lost a total of more than 80,000 soldiers, and even the cavalry battalion soldiers under the battalion were killed!
Moreover, the cavalry battalion of the Feiyu battalion garrisoned Cen Shaomin, and the cavalry battalion of the Zhechong battalion garrisoned Wang Tianyi fought and martyred, four guerrilla generals of each department were killed, eleven were killed in the total of thousands, thirty-three were killed in the total of the total, and more than 100 of the remaining hundred generals and banners were killed!
And the soldiers of the Dangkou Battalion led by Li Dingguo, Li Laiheng, and Ai Nengqi suffered huge casualties, with more than half of the 300,000 Dangkou Battalion soldiers lost, and a total of 170,000 soldiers died in battle!
In addition, the leading general Liu Wenxiu was martyred in battle, and more than 200 other thousands of generals at all levels were killed!
At this point in the war, the Ming army led by Liu Yunwei killed a total of 250,000 soldiers and annihilated 560,000 Qing troops!
After a few days of statistics, Liu Yunwei remembered that the officers and men of all units of the army were exhausted, and the officers and men of each battalion suffered huge casualties, and they urgently needed to rest and recuperate as soon as possible, so he ordered the officers and men of each battalion to take Shimen Pass as their base camp, and the officers and men of the whole army rested on the spot for three days.
At the same time, Liu Yunwei also sent fast horses back to Guangning, and ordered Zhao Shujiao, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, Mangui, the garrison Mangui, and Zu Dashou, who were stationed in Guangning City, to immediately send soldiers and horses to transport the wounded in the army back to the rear to step up treatment, and quickly transported the massive military equipment that the division had hoarded in Guangning City to the Haizhou Acropolis for hoarding.
Liu Yunwei planned to leave the wounded soldiers in the army at Shimen Pass and wait for the rear soldiers and horses to come to meet them, and gave strict orders to Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui, Zu Dashou and others that all the soldiers who were killed and wounded in battle must be given adequate compensation as soon as possible. Then Liu Yunwei prepared to lead the remaining 400,000 Ming Tiger Ben troops to the north three days later, and rushed to the Haizhou Acropolis to prepare for a round with the army. Then, after a slight pause, he led the army north to recover Liaoyang City and Shenyang City, and completely annihilated the tens of thousands of Qing troops in the remnants of Dolgon's department.
A day later, the soldiers of the Hanwei army and the Dangkou battalion had gathered around Shimen Pass, and Liu Yunwei also held a banquet in the pass and summoned the battalion leaders to celebrate the victory.
At the banquet, Liu Yunwei looked at Yuan Mingxuan, Zhou Tianyi, and Hu Kun sitting at the right side, as well as Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Wen Poyu, Zhao Kaishan, Li Tianhao, Wang Gandang, Huang Fuming, Gao Hongguang, Li Dingguo, Li Laiheng, Ai Nengqi and other generals sitting on the right hand, and couldn't help but feel agitated in his heart.
"Gentlemen! In the battle of Shimen Pass, hundreds of thousands of my soldiers fought bloodily, and finally annihilated all the Tartar army of the Emperor Taiji, the slave chieftain Huang Taiji, the Manchu banner lord Jierharang, and Daishan were all beheaded, this battle can be described as the most glorious battle since the three major expeditions of the dynasty! ”
Hearing this, everyone in the hall was extremely excited when they heard this, the Liaodong War has gone through so many years, the Ming Dynasty has sacrificed the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the people of Liaodong have paid huge casualties, and now it is finally coming to an end, and the Manchu Tartars are finally about to usher in a righteous trial!
At this time, Zhao Kaishan said with some regret: "Alas! But the Manchurian army still fled with the red flag, and even with the slave chief Azig! ”
Liu Yunwei looked at the people who were a little unwilling, waved his hand disapprerovingly, and said with a smile: "Haha, it's okay!" Even if Azig escaped, he could only flee back to Shenyang, at most he would just survive for a while. Besides, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing for Azig to lead the remnants to escape, so let Azig and his bereaved dogs return to Shenyang, bringing back the endless fear and the haze of defeat, and making all the Tartars in Dolgon's department panic all day long! ”
"Haha! Yes, that's it! ”
"Haha, let those Tartars scare the hell!"
"When the time comes, my army will be able to fight down!"
As soon as Liu Yunwei said this, the generals in the hall, Yuan Mingxuan and others all laughed.
After finishing speaking, Liu Yunwei slowly stood up, picked up the wine bowl in his hand, and said to everyone in the lobby: "Come!" Today, all the kings and this governor drink this cup together, this first cup of wine, to the more than 200,000 soldiers who died in this battle to defend China, come! Dry! ”
Yuan Mingxuan and other governors in the lobby, as well as Lu Ying, Wu Xing and other generals, stood up and raised their wine glasses together, and said in unison: "All the soldiers! Get on the road with peace of mind! ”
Everyone drank all the wine in the cup, and then Liu Yunwei poured a second cup of wine and continued: "This second cup of wine is a tribute to the thousands of people who died in Liaodong, and today our army soldiers use the heads of hundreds of thousands of Tartars to pay tribute to the thousands of souls of the people of Liaodong!" ”
Everyone and Liu Yunwei drank it all together.
In the end, Liu Yunwei poured himself a third glass of wine and said: "This third cup of wine, I salute the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who fought in Liaodong, two days later, the soldiers of our army will wave the army to the north, completely exterminate the remnants of the Tartars entrenched in Shenyang and Liaoyang, and completely eliminate the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the cancer of China!" ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone drank the liquor in the cup together, and then threw the wine glass in their hands to the ground, everyone's hearts were full of fighting spirit, and everyone's eyes were burning with raging anger.
Late that night, after everyone dispersed, Yuan Mingxuan did not leave in a hurry, but found Liu Yunwei and said: "Supervisor, the first battle of Shimen Pass has ended, and now since the Battle of Liaohe, our army has not sent a good news to the imperial court, is it now to send some news to the imperial court?" ”
Liu Yunwei frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "At this time, the governor also thought about it, because the battle situation was not obvious during the previous Liaohe War, although a huge victory was achieved, the governor did not plan to bring the battle situation to the imperial court. But now, the situation of the Liaodong War has been completely clear, and the defeat of the Manchu Qing is already assured, and the governor feels that he can now send the victory to the Jingshi. ”
Yuan Mingxuan nodded, and then said, "That's good!" I immediately drafted a good report, and after the supervisor saw that there was no problem, I asked Cheng Shiyong to send it to the capital as soon as possible. ”
Two days later, the soldiers of the Han Wei Army and the Dangkou Battalion had recovered a lot of energy, and the rear soldiers and horses sent by Zhao Shujiao, Zu Dashou, Man Gui and others were also on the way to Shimen Pass, preparing to transport the wounded soldiers back to the rear.
Therefore, Liu Yunwei ordered the whole army to leave the Shanghai Acropolis in the north of Shimen Pass and station, and prepared to start a major battle against Liaoyang City and Shenyang City immediately after replenishing the military reserves.
On the morning of the same day, Liu Yunwei led 400,000 soldiers of the Ming Army to the north. As early as a few days ago, when the war had just ended, Liu Yunwei had already sent a large number of soldiers and horses to raise ships, and at this time, the Shimenguan generation had gathered thousands of large and small ships. Therefore, at this time, 400,000 soldiers of the Ming army crossed the river to the north without any chaos, and the entire river was in order.
Five days later, all the 400,000 soldiers of the Ming army crossed the river, and Liu Yunwei led the whole army to immediately drive towards the Haizhou Acropolis.
At the same time, Dolgon, who had been making final preparations in Shenyang City, also received the news that the main force of the Ming army was moving north.
At this time, in front of Dolgon was Azig, who was in tattered armor and looked like a beggar.
The news of the death of Huang Taiji, Dai Shan, and Jierharang, and the annihilation of hundreds of thousands of main forces of the Qing army, has spread throughout Shenyang City with the arrival of Azig. More than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Manchu army stationed in Shenyang City, more than 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Han Army under Geng Zhongming's two red flags, and more than 20,000 Korean defeated soldiers were already panicked, and the entire Shenyang City was floating in the hearts of the people.
If hundreds of thousands of Ming troops came to attack the city at this time, Dorgon knew very well that he would not be able to hold out for even a day!
"Brother! Prince Ying! Now that the Qing Dynasty has reached the point of destroying the country and destroying the clan, what are your plans? ”
At this time, Azig was already bloodless, his eyes were blank, and his whole person looked like he was lost and depressed.
"What's the plan? What else can this king do now? The Ming army is about to be killed, unstoppable, unstoppable! ”
Dolgon looked at Azig, who had lost his fighting spirit, and said with hatred: "Even if I can't stop it, my Qing warriors will fight to the end!" Otherwise, what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of people in the whole race, young and old? Let the Ming army slaughter to their heart's content? ”
After thinking for a while, Azig said with some hesitation: "Otherwise, let's take the whole clan back to Hetuala!" With the terrain of Hetuara and the barrier of Salhu, maybe there is still a chance to face the Ming army! ”
Hearing this, Dolgon suddenly became furious, stood up suddenly, and shouted, "Do you think that returning to Hetuara will be able to stop the Ming army? If the Ming army can't be stopped in Shengjing with a strong city, then what's the use of a humble city like Hetuala? Do you think that now my iron cavalry of the Qing Dynasty still has the courage to fight in the field with the Ming army! You tell me! ”
Dolgon angrily pointed at Azig, gasping for breath, eager to rush up and beat him up.
After hearing this, Azig was also full of despair, and muttered, "How can this be? How did I get to where I am today? Aren't the Han people reincarnated once every three hundred years? Why is there still such a strong army as the Hanwei Army? ”
