Section 590 The Great War begins
The fourth volume of the sharp blade out of the sheath Shenzhou moves
"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has nothing to give them, the princes of the court have been separated from morality, and anyone sitting in your position may not be able to reverse the decline of the Ming Dynasty.
If you don't break it, you can't stand it, and then you can stand after it, maybe Daming can still be prosperous! ”
Emperor Chongzhen, who was laughing wildly, looked at the important ministers of the country who were depressed in the Qinzheng Palace, and remembered Qin Haoming's words in the past again.
"Everyone in Liao, fighting hard for several months, suffering heavy casualties, when it is necessary to repair, and discuss merit and reward, do not cool the heart of the warriors who fought bloody battles in front.
Chen Shangshu allocated 100,000 taels of silver to the internal treasury, and the Beijing camp told the body 200 empty texts, which was appointed by Qin Aiqing himself. ”
After laughing, Chongzhen calmed down and turned to Chen Xinjia and said.
After breaking and standing, replacing all the civil officials in the court, Chongzhen asked himself if he didn't have such courage. But with Qin Haoming's support, it will be much easier.
"Your Majesty, may I ask if the Dingnan Army is not under the control of Ji Liao, where will the military salaries and materials be supported? And the army generals? ”
Chen Xinjia leaned over and sweated and asked in a low voice.
The two hundred officials of the Beijing camp are left to Qin Haoming to deal with by himself, and it is not a big deal, I am afraid that a Dingnan army, a large number of commanders and generals will fight guerrillas, and it will be worth it.
"When did the Ministry of War manage Qin Aiqing's salary?" Chongzhen asked disdainfully, his originally good mood was destroyed by the ministers, and his words became bitter and mean.
Chen Xinjia leaned over and didn't dare to speak.
"Since Qin Aiqing's army has been named, let's give it the name of the Dingnan Army! Since the Liaodong War Department was powerless, it ordered Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, to fully cooperate.
In order to avoid the first army and two commanders, the division of Zhu Hong was temporarily under the command of Qin Aiqing, and it was restored after the Liaodong Campaign. ”
After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen turned around and brushed his sleeves away, leaving him looking at the important ministers of the court.
Hong Chengchou has been an old commander for decades, but now he has to obey the orders of the stinky boy, and the emperor's joke is too big.
And Qin Haoming, who was far away in Wafangdian on the Liaodong Peninsula, was busy dealing with the Huang Taiji Iron Horse who came in a hurry at this time, and he didn't know Chongzhen's will for the time being.
"The eastern and southern attacks should be like Duoduo in the past, not afraid of casualties, continuously, with all their might, and indomitable, without giving the Qin army the slightest room to breathe.
In this battle, it is necessary not only to control casualties, but also to fight quickly, break through the defense line of the Qin army in one fell swoop, crush their courage with close combat, and force the enemy to disperse. ”
In the evening, he rushed to Huang Taiji to listen to the report of the army and put forward his own opinions.
After Dolgon's army set off, Huang Taiji, who was in Shengjing, was not idle, but gathered people and horses everywhere, gathered 30,000 cavalry and personally came to respond.
His strategic talent is very high, if he can't take advantage of the weakness of the Ming army to eliminate them, and when they gain a firm foothold and build a city, it will become a tug-of-war.
Therefore, he rejected the suggestion of the Dorgon brothers to wait a few more days and let the traitorous troops of King Sanshun fight the vanguard, and adopted a quick victory.
"We are used to fighting on the battlefield, and we have already arranged it, but the feints of Anping Belle and Tulai will be fierce, and the forces of the southern army will be dispersed for me and Zhuketu."
Huang Taiji's army of 30,000 joined in, restoring the confidence of the young and competitive Duoduo.
Huang Taiji nodded and said: "That's right, the battle for city defense will inevitably have heavy casualties, there is no need to hesitate, once it breaks through the Liaoyang city wall, the Dingnan army will be slaughtered by us."
Today, the whole army rested, let the soldiers eat and go to bed early, and all of them tested the range of the catapult, prepared enough stones, and fought a decisive battle tomorrow. ”
Early in the morning, the camp of Jiannu became restless. Trumpets sounded, military drums erupted, and the gates of the camp were wide open.
The Eight Banners Iron Cavalry led by Huang Taiji was like a boiling river, killing towards Wafangdian.
The iron cavalry flowed to the east gate and suddenly split into two, one to the south and the other to the north, roaring around the Wafangdian, trampling the surrounding area into dust and blurring vision.
The Eight Banners Iron Cavalry was endless, the end was missing, and from time to time they shouted in unison during the run: "If you don't surrender, you will die!" Those who descend will not be killed! If you don't surrender, you will die! Those who descend will not be killed! ……”
Subsequently, thousands of shield carts, rushing carts, arrow tower carts, and stone throwers gradually advanced from outside the east and south cities, like huge monsters with teeth and claws, wanting to choose people to eat.
Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers carried a long siege ladder and rolled out of the passage reserved in the middle of the giant equipment, like thousands of giant pythons, crawling frantically towards Wafangdian.
At the end, tens of thousands of Jiannu ironclad warriors surged out, forming dozens of phalanxes outside the east gate and the south city respectively, with the rhythm of the snare drums in front and back, standing one after another, the murderous aura was pervasive, and the tiger roared and howled.
To the north of the boundless array, a dragon-like military formation, ironclad Sensen, the array moved forward, heading straight from the east gate to the north.
The dragon that was slowly moving forward opened its bloody mouth and shouted rhythmic killing sounds, and roared.
The dragon's head has arrived in Xicheng, and the dragon's tail is still pouring out, and the mighty army has surrounded Wafangdian, and the walls are tight.
Everywhere, thousands of troops shouted, the sound was monstrous, and the rushing Dingnan soldiers changed color, their brows were furrowed, and they all had a deeper understanding of the tragedy of today's war.
Suddenly, the horns and drums of the Emperor Taiji Chinese Army sounded continuously, like a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring, like a nine-day roar, like thunder on all sides.
The tragic, low, and solemn horns, the majestic, agitated, and high-spirited drums were blown and sounded in turn, and they were uninterrupted, and the killing machines were endless.
The prestige of the voice is overwhelming and shocking to the bone marrow.
Duoduo and Zhuketu waved their hands together, and the hosts shouted: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! Then the drums and horns stopped, and there was only dead silence.
The Jiannu army waved its flag and waved in the wind, only to see the auxiliary soldiers working together, pushing the huge siege equipment to approach Wafangdian.
Tens of thousands of auxiliaries who followed followed surged out from behind the shield cart and divided into a dozen frantically digging bands.
First, a corner of the moat was dug up, and soon the moat was drained, and then wheelbarrows filled with mud began to bury ditches, build roads, build timber, and pave passages.
Qin Haoming saw the Jiannu auxiliaries at the head of the city, like a trickle, methodically paving the way for the attack with a steady stream of men and horses.
And most of the siege army and siege equipment of Jiannu were outside the firing range, so they ordered the soldiers to stand still, and only ordered the soldiers to fire the Jiannu auxiliary soldiers in small batches of rockets.
At the sound of an order, a group of ten rockets flew towards the busy Jiannu auxiliaries everywhere with a whistle that pierced the air, and immediately shot dozens of auxiliaries to the ground, wailing and screaming.
Jiannu hurriedly retracted the shield cart and dodged, but was immediately forced forward by Jiannu's army.
The auxiliaries had no choice but to brave the continuous rain of arrows, and when they saw it, they stood out the shield cart, put down the wood and turned around and ran, but they still continued to pay casualties.
Noktu shouted, and many auxiliary soldiers pushed the shield cart forward, pressed through the barely feasible passage, and advanced to Wafangdian forty paces away.
The archers behind the shield cart turned sideways one after another, and there was a round of arrow rain against the city wall, suppressing the firepower of the Dingnan army, and the auxiliary soldiers hurriedly rushed to the construction.
Qin Haoming waited for this time, when an order was given, a volley of artillery fire was fired, and the soldiers hid under the quilt rack one after another, and ignited and shot rockets one after another against the battlements at the head of the city.
The group of stone-throwing machines in the city also began to release killing machines, and the integrated firepower instantly smashed the inside and outside of the moat.
The flaming fireball pierced through the shield cart, sending the archers behind the shield cart in a bloody path, and the smashed wreckage of the shield cart splashed with wooden thorns, killing and injuring the surrounding auxiliaries.
The flowering bullets fired by the catapult crashed into the crowd of vehicles and exploded, blowing up iron nails, oil and arsenic, and lime in all directions.
In an instant, the two sides of the moat were enveloped in flames, killing the Jiannu and wounding them a lot.
The stormy rockets were even more raging, roaring in the large crowd of Jiannu, taking away pieces of living beings.
The horn of the Jiannu Chinese Army sounded again, and the siege armies in the southeast, northwest and northwest launched together, and they all entered the range of the Dingnan Army.
Hundreds of stone throwers were launched at the same time, smashing large pieces of mountain rocks fiercely, and countless black shadows changed from small to large, smashing inside and outside the city wall, with a loud bang.
In an instant, the tile shop was smashed into dust and smoke, and the horses, quilt racks, arrow towers, and small pieces of the city wall collapsed and splashed, beating the small number of soldiers who could not dodge into a blur of flesh and blood.
Qin Haoming and Zhang Yun, who were watching the battle on the city wall, sighed, looked at the fierce offensive in all directions, looked at each other and smiled, and pointed at the Jiannu army in the southeast and northwest with a look of expectation, but they didn't care.
died early and was born early, and the long-awaited Liaodong War finally began.
If you want to gain a foothold in the Liaodong Peninsula and insert a sharp blade in the heart of Jiannu, this battle must be passed with blood.
When the two armies meet, the brave wins, whether it is the Dingnan Army or the Jiannu Army, both sides must be psychologically prepared.
