Chapter 704: Chickens and Dogs Don't Stay
Five days later, Fang Yuan met with the envoy sent by Zilharang and brought a message agreeing to negotiate peace with Fang Yuan, with the Liao River as the boundary.
Fang Yuan said from Jierharang's message that the two sides should take the Liao River as the line and must not cross the line, so he knew that Jierharang and Aobai would not come to participate in the battle in Guangning again, and would lead the army to garrison the Liaohe River and sit back and watch this big battle between the Ming army and the Zhengbai Banner Azig.
Of course, if the battle of Guangning and the Ming army win, Jierharang and Aobai will choose to negotiate peace with Fang Yuan; If the Ming army is defeated, Jierharang and Aobai will also come to pick up the bargain.
In the past few days, a strong pontoon bridge has also been built, and 30 tanks have successfully crossed the Daling River. Without Zilharang and the containment of the Ao Bai reinforcements, Fang Yuan could have put most of his troops into the Quang Ninh battlefield.
Five days later, the mighty 100,000 elite Ming troops drove to the city of Quang Ninh.
At this time, in the city of Quang Ninh, Azig was already in a dilemma.
Let's get out of the city and fight! Nikan fought a big battle with the Ming cavalry, but he didn't get any bargains, and even lost a small game. Moreover, Fang Yuan was eager to engage in cavalry field battles with the Tartar soldiers.
Recovering Liaodong and destroying the Manchu Qing was originally a war of attrition between the two countries, and Fang Yuan wanted to catch the main cavalry force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and rush to fight it. As long as you can fight with a one-to-one battle loss and the Manchu iron cavalry, the first to finish will inevitably be the Manchu Tartars.
Hold on to the city! Quang Ninh's outer defense line has been lost, and only a lonely city remains, and the problem of grain and grass alone is the most difficult problem. Azig had already looted the people of Liaoxi before, and together with the grain and grass he brought before, it could only last less than half a month at most.
The only thing Azig counted on was reinforcements from Shengjing. As soon as the reinforcements arrived, he dared to open the city and attack the reinforcements inside and outside, breaking the blockade of the Ming army.
Fang Yuan, in the outer city of Quang Ninh City, also encountered a difficult problem.
Before Fang Yuan set out on the expedition, he didn't think about capturing Guangning City in a real way, but planned to use a large number of white phosphorus bombs in Guangning City to annihilate all Azig's subordinates, leaving no chickens and dogs.
However, on the march to Guangning City, the people along the way came to cry one after another, and at least 100,000 young men and women from western Liaoning were captured by Azig into Guangning City and taken as coolies and hostages.
If the white phosphorus bomb is rashly used and the city of Guangning is completely destroyed, these 100,000 Han men and women will inevitably be wiped out. It is common for tens of thousands of people to die on the battlefield, but these are real young and strong laborers. In the future, Liaoxi will be rebuilt, these are all the main forces, and all the brains will be wiped out, what war potential does Liaoxi have?
But just giving up the opportunity to severely damage the main force of the Tartar soldiers, Fang Yuan was also unwilling.
After thinking about it, he decided to divide his troops to besiege the city on all sides, dig trenches, build fortifications, and trap Azig's 50,000 Tartar soldiers in Quang Ninh.
Fang Yuan went out this time, bringing at least one hundred medium cannons, ten Hongyi cannons, each door had at least two Hongyi cannons, and twenty medium cannons.
He issued a military order to bombard the city of Quang Ninh for six hours a day, rest for six hours every day, and bombard Quang Ninh City indiscriminately day and night.
After seven days of continuous bombardment, the city walls of Guangning City have already been blown into ruins, and the four city gates have been blown to pieces, and they can no longer play any defensive role, and the Ming army can attack Guangning City at any time.
The Tartar soldiers under Azig's department had already been dizzy by the bombing, but they could only grit their teeth and insist, ordering 50,000 Tartar soldiers to prepare for street battles and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Fang Yuan saw that the city gate had been blown open, and the Tartar soldiers had also hid in the houses and were preparing for street fighting, so he ordered the drone team to deliver letters to the city of Guangning, so that all the Han people captured by the Tartar soldiers escaped from the city at night and went to the edge of the trench, and the Ming army was ready to respond.
The time to flee is only seven days, and within seven days, the Ming army will attack the city with all its might!
In the next few days, the brave Han Chinese in Guangning City climbed over the city walls and gates that had long been blown up, and went to the edge of the trench to surrender to the Ming army.
According to Fang Yuan's explanation, the Ming army screened these refugees out of the city one by one. Those who look like Han people and can speak Chinese can cross the trench and accept the soup soup from the Ming army. The Manchurians who were mixed in the Han people and wanted to make up for the number were all killed on the spot, and no one was left.
In a short period of seven days, driven by a strong desire to survive, no matter how the Tartar soldiers killed, intimidated, and fled more and more Han people out of the city, at least 30,000 or 40,000 people. The Tartar soldiers also killed 20,000 or 30,000 people, especially the frail women.
On the seventh day, Fang Yuan ordered the sergeants to count 42,000 Han Chinese who had fled out of the city. A little estimate, plus the 20,000 or 30,000 Han people who were slaughtered in the city, the only remaining Han people in the city are only 10,000 or 20,000 at most.
Fang Yuan gave them a total of seven days to escape, and those who really had a strong desire to escape and had the courage and courage should have escaped a long time ago. Those who remained in the city were either cowardly and afraid of death, or they had Stockholm syndrome and did not dare to resist the violent Tartar soldiers.
There is only one chance of life, and if you can't grasp this last chance of life, you can't complain about Fang Yuan.
On the night of the seventh day, Fang Yuan gave the order to the drone team for a general attack, and a hundred drones threw white phosphorus bombs from the four city gates into Quang Ninh City. Throw 100 white phosphorus bombs in each area first, and increase the amount if it is not enough.
In this expedition, Fang Yuan carried a total of 2,000 white phosphorus bombs, and the only purpose was to completely destroy the Tartar soldiers in Quang Ninh City and severely damage the main force of Dolgon's white banner. Then divide and conquer the Manchu Eight Banners.
As for the reconstruction of Quang Ninh City, it will only be said after the war.
At the same time, a hundred drones carrying a hundred white phosphorus bombs took off from the four city gates and began the offensive against Quang Ninh City.
At the same time, all the four artillery pieces began to fire in unison, and once again carried out intensive and indiscriminate bombardment of Quang Ninh City.
In an instant, the city of Quang Ninh was full of fires, thick smoke filled the air, and screams rose to the sky.
Azig struggled to support it for half a month, but Shengjing's reinforcements did not arrive, but the Ming army began to launch a general attack!
The white phosphorus bomb, because Fang Yuan had only used it once in Shandong's crusade against Sun Chuanting, Azig had only received information about the Xuanjia Army's tactics before. But the immersive feeling of the white phosphorus bomb still made him tremble!
The wooden houses in the city burned when they caught fire, and the soldiers hiding in the houses suffered heavy casualties, and the fire could not be extinguished. Even though they were hiding in the dirt houses, the poisonous smoke from the burning made the Tartars faint and fall to the ground, and they lost their lives.
In the face of the endless stream of advanced weapons of the Ming army, how can this kind of battle be fought?
Azig had a deep regret, he had been wiped out at Shanhaiguan before, and he escaped by luck thanks to Turg's sacrifice. This time I don't have a long memory, and I came to Quang Ninh City to throw myself to a dead end!
The drones of the Ming army circled back and forth, dropping at least 800 white phosphorus bombs on the city of Guangning, and the entire city of Guangning was already in flames, filled with poisonous smoke, and became a hell on earth.
In desperation, Azig ordered all the remnants of the defeated army to flee from Quang Ninh City immediately and each of them to escape. However, the trench of the Ming army has completely blocked the city of Guangning, and the remnants of the defeated soldiers who escaped from the city have also been blocked in front of the trench, and there is no way to escape.
After the fortifications, the Ming gunners had been waiting for a long time, and began to fire a thousand guns in unison, mercilessly shooting the Tartar soldiers who fled out of the city.
"Crackle!"
The sound of fire guns rang out densely, and the Tartar soldiers who fled to the trench also suffered heavy casualties, and the corpses piled up in the trench, filling the trench.
The Tartar soldiers, who were fighting the trapped beasts, stepped on the trenches filled with the corpses of their companions and began to storm the Ming army's fortifications.
After three days and three nights of fierce fighting, the 60,000 Tartar soldiers stationed in Quang Ninh City, 200 Niulu, were almost completely annihilated, less than 10,000 fled, and more than 50,000 were killed or wounded. The Ming army also suffered a counterattack by the Tartar soldiers before they died, and the losses were not small, around 20,000 or 30,000.
With the escape of Azig, Guangning City, an important town in western Liaoning, was finally returned to the hands of the Ming Dynasty after being lost for more than 20 years in the opponents of Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi!
