Volume 1 Liaodong Shock

Chapter 2 The Jackal Tyranny, Burning the Beacon Smoke

Section 20 Advance and Fushun

April 15, the forty-sixth year of Wanli (the third year of the Later Jin Heavenly Mandate), early morning.

After two days of rapid marching, Nurhachi led Daishan, Huang Taiji and other Eight Banner Banners, Beile, Taiji, and 20,000 Eight Banner slave soldiers to cross the Suzi River and arrive outside Fushun Pass.

At this time, it is still early, the sky is still full of stars, the defenders of Fushun Pass are still immersed in sleep, there are only sporadic Ming troops guarding the pass above the city, there is no night in Fushun Pass within 100 miles, and the Ming army in the pass is only one total strength, a few hundred people.

When Nurhachi led his army to the city, he ordered the whole army to light torches. In an instant, the fire under Fushun Guan soared into the sky, illuminating the wall as if it were daylight.

The defenders were shocked, and hurriedly thundered the war drums, and it took two sticks of incense before the defenders went up to the wall to guard in a disorderly manner. The Ming army guarding the pass was full of courage and gall when the Jiannu army, which was always looking at the boundless outside the pass, did not dare to resist, and left the wall after indiscriminately explaining the defense, and disappeared.

The defenders were already short of troops and did not have a high fighting spirit, and now the Shangguan was gone, and the wall was suddenly in chaos, and the defenders shouted and ran, as if the end was coming.

Nurhachi had been watching the movements of the Ming army, and when he saw that the defenders were so unbearable, he was overjoyed, and said: "The Ming army in Liaodong is like a falling leaf in autumn, and it can't withstand the wild roll of my big golden iron horse. ”

Dai Shan, Huang Taiji and others all laughed when they heard this, and they all asked for orders to attack.

Nurhachi said to Daishan: "Great Beyler, you are the head of the Beylers, and you should fight the first battle of this attack. ”

Huang Taiji was not angry in his heart: "Khan Ama is clearly going to give the first credit of attacking Ming to Dai Shan!" But there was nothing to be done.

"Khan Ama rest assured, Erchen personally supervises the battle, and my Dajin warriors will definitely conquer everything!"

"Good!"

After speaking, Dai Shan called Yue Tuo and ordered: "You take a Niu Lu's troops to attack the city, and take Fushun Pass for me within a stick of incense!" It was here that Benbel oversaw the battle. ”

Yue Tuo said: "Ama don't worry, just wait here for good news." ”

After a while, Yue Tuo led hundreds of Jiannu with red flags to rush to Fushun Pass, and after setting up the ladder, Yue Tuo led the team to the city, but did not encounter the expected resistance, and there was still chaos on the wall at this time.

"Kill!" Yue Tuo was the first to climb the wall, and slashed the Ming army in front of him to death with a single sword, and the blood splashed on his face, which stimulated Yue Tuo's ferocity, and shouted loudly: "Kill all these Nikan!" ”

More and more Jiannu climbed the wall, and the Ming army collapsed without any organization and in vain resistance.

The one-sided slaughter lasted less than a stick of incense, and Fushun Guannei was completely quiet.

The rising morning sun rose slowly, and a ray of sunlight hit the gate of Fushun Pass, and the original golden morning light was bright red at this time!

Nurhachi rode on his horse, and when he saw that Yue Tuo was brave and invincible, he was overjoyed in his heart, and said, "The great Belle godson is very good. ”

Dai Shan's face was overjoyed and he said, "It's all good Khan Amma's teachings. ”

Huang Taiji was cold when he heard it on the side, but his face was the same joy, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

As he was talking, the gate of Fushun Pass was slowly opened, Yue Tuo walked out with blood, came to Nurhachi, saluted and said: "Qiyu Great Khan, Ama, Fushun Pass has been taken, a total of more than 270 Ming troops have been annihilated, more than 100 households have been obtained, grain, grass, and goods are not counted, and there are no casualties among my Dajin warriors." ”

"Well, that's good." Nurhachi said: "Taiji Yuetuo is brave and courageous, and he has made war exploits, with a prize of twenty taels of silver and a war horse. If the commander of the Great Belle Daishan is determined, he will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver and two war horses. ”

"Thank you (Father Khan) for the Great Khan's reward!" Daishan father and son said.

"Leave a Niu Lu to guard the pass, and the whole army will immediately march to Fushun City."

Nurhachi led his army all the way to Fushun City, and more than 500 large and small tunbao such as Dongzhou and Magendan along the way all fell. Along the way, Jiannu continued to burn villages and plunder people, using the captured men as cannon fodder and laborers, and the women were insulted on the spot.

From Fushun Pass to Fushun City, Jiannu plundered a total of 300,000 people and livestock, and Nurhachi divided the captives into 1,000 households, and sent troops back to the rear together with livestock and goods.

When he arrived at the east of Fushun City, Nurhachi received a report from the scouts, and Zhang Chengyin, the chief military officer of Liaodong, and Po Tingxiang, the garrison, had already led 20,000 reinforcements to Fushun City to set up defenses.

Everyone couldn't help but be taken aback, first, they didn't expect the Ming army to dare to attack head-on, and then they didn't expect the Ming army to come so quickly and arrive in Fushun first.

"This Liaodong general soldier is also a little decisive, but unfortunately, those generals under him are not on the stage." Nurhachi said, "Order, the army to speed up, and the army is approaching the city of Fushun. ”

Dai Shan said: "Ama, at this time, the Ming army in Fushun City has the advantage of troops, and our army is a tired division, do you want to postpone the march?" ”

Nurhachi's face sank and he said, "Sibeile, you can talk about it." ”

Huang Taiji thought for a while and said: "The 20,000 Ming army has more than enough to defend the city, but the field battle is insufficient, so when the enemy is lured out of the city, he will be annihilated in one fell swoop." ”

"Well, let's go." Nurhachi said.

Dai Shan thought about it and suddenly realized.

The next morning, the Jiannu army arrived outside Fushun City.

Zhang Chengyin, the chief military officer of Liaodong, the garrison Po Tingxiang, and the Fushun guard general Li Yongfang and others climbed the city tower to watch the battle, and they were all surprised to see the solemn appearance of the Jiannu army and the strict military formation, and Li Yongfang was particularly frightened.

Zhang Chengyin ordered: "Order all departments, strictly guard against death!" Those who dare to take half a step back will be killed on the spot! ”

"Jiannu has attacked the city!"

Under an exclamation, Zhang Chengyin and the others hurriedly looked, only to see that Jiannu outside the city had already rushed over with a ladder. At the same time, news of attacks came from the other three sides.

"Order all the troops to fight to the death!" Zhang Chengyin shouted.

The bloody battle between the two sides began, the Jiannu army attacked together under the leadership of Daishan, Huang Taiji, Mang Gurtai and Amin, and the Ming army also swore to resist under Zhang Chengyin's strict supervision, and soon the corpses of Fushun City were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river.

At noon, Jiannu Mingjin withdrew his troops.

Zhang Chengyin looked at the orderly retreating Jiannu army, and felt a little confident in his heart, after all, resisting the attack of the Jiannu army and repelling it was already a victory.

"Let the people carry the food on the city wall and treat the soldiers well."

Zhang Chengyin said in high spirits, at this time he even had the idea of taking the initiative to attack, but the reason was still there, Zhang Chengyin knew very well that Jiannu's combat power was above his subordinates, and he was only strictly ordered to defend the city.

Returning to the camp, Nurhachi asked about the casualties of the various tribes, and Daishan replied: "Khan Amma, the casualties of the various tribes are not large, and the main ones who died in the battle are the Nikans who are dressed in the armor of the warriors and taken prisoners. ”

"yes, okay." Nurhachi thought for a moment and said, "Give the order to retreat in the middle of the night, leaving half of the baggage with you." ”

"Huh!"

The next day, Zhang Chengyin and others came to the city tower and looked at the empty Jiannu camp outside the city and were dumbfounded. After watching it for a while, Zhang Chengyin suddenly shouted: "Order!" Gather troops and horses to pursue Jiannu! ”

The garrison Po Ting persuaded each other: "Commander, let's be cautious." Yesterday's casualties were not large, most of the corpses' braids were new, and the suspicions were too big, it is difficult to say that it was not Jiannu's plan to lure the enemy. ”

Zhang Chengyin thought for a while and said: "No, you see that the Jiannu camp is messy, and you don't even bring supplies, obviously because we were afraid of yesterday's battle, so we took the initiative to retreat in the middle of the night." If you don't chase it, it will delay the military plane! ”

"Your Excellency!" Prime Minister Po Tingxiang has to persuade again.

"No more talk!" Zhang Chengyin said to Li Yongfang again: "Li Guerrilla, be sure to guard Fushun City, prepare wine and meat, and celebrate well when the town comes back triumphantly." ”

Zhang Chengyin looked at the surrounding generals and said, "The rest of you are all going with your town to win battle merits. ”

"Order!"

On April 21, Fushun Guanwai.

Zhang Chengyin's heart is actually extremely contradictory, he clearly knows what the quality of the more than 10,000 troops under his command is, and he can't get any bargain for a field battle with Jiannu. But in the face of the hasty retreat of Jiannu, Zhang Chengyin could not directly ignore it, if Jiannu really retreated, he would miss an opportunity to win military merits, and he would be charged with delaying the fighter.

So, with a tangled mood, Zhang Chengyin worked step by step, steadily and steadily along the way, and slowly advanced to Fushun Pass.

It was getting late, and there was no trace of Jiannu at night. But Fushun Pass is gone, when Jiannu retreated, all the houses in the Guancheng and Guanguan were demolished, the Guanzhong was empty, the people were all taken captive, and the corpses of hundreds of old and young people were placed horizontally on a flat ground, and even the wells were blocked by Jiannu.

Zhang Chengyin was furious, he had been in the army for so many years, he had seen robbers looting, and he had also seen Tartars disturbing the border, but he had never seen such arrogance! The attack on the border city was repulsed, and the gate city was demolished by the way? Is this humiliating!

Just thinking about it, the red flag officer sent by Governor Li Weihan caught up with Zhang Chengyin's department and handed Li Weihan's letter to Zhang Chengyin. In the letter, Li Weihan sternly reprimanded Zhang Chengyin for not knowing the enemy's situation before the war, so that Guancheng fell, and then set up the enemy to escape, and asked Zhang Chengyin to quickly pursue the enemy and engage in the battle as soon as possible, otherwise he would write to the imperial court to impeach Zhang Chengyin.

Zhang Chengyin was depressed in confidence after reading the book: "A civilian official who doesn't know about military affairs!" I know that I command indiscriminately, and you Li Weihan have the ability to fight against Jiannu! ”

However, in the face of Li Weihan's accusation, Zhang Chengyin was helpless, although his grade was a little higher than Li Weihan, but now he is a noble and lowly martial artist, and he can only listen to it.

In desperation, Zhang Chengyin told the Red Flag Officer and said: "Go back and tell Governor Li that our department has recovered Fushun Pass, and will go out of the pass early tomorrow morning to pursue Jiannu." ”

After the Red Flag Officer left, Zhang Chengyin led his troops to camp under a hill north of Fushun Pass and prepare to spend the night.

The soldiers of the Ming army were chaotic to cut down the wood, Zhang Chengyin saw that a simple camp had a prototype, so he wanted to find a place to sleep and nourish his spirit, and suddenly the people on the hill were boiling, and countless soldiers and horses rushed down from the hill, and the Ming army was immediately in chaos.

"Formation! Formation! Those who take half a step back will be killed! ”

Zhang Chengyin never dreamed that Jiannu, who he had been chasing for a few days, was right under his nose, "Damn! Wild boar skin, Lao Tzu can't live, and I want you to drop a few pieces of meat, kill me with me! ”
