Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Gathering of "Famous Generals" (continued)
In the early years of Kangxi, Suke Saha was once a very popular minister, but now he is only a middle-level Qing army general, a third-class Lazhangjing, if it weren't for being a hardcore confidant of Dolgon, it would not be his turn to serve as a pioneer officer.
But after following Dolgon for a long time, Sukh Saha still learned a few tricks and fought with a clear eye. After crossing the river, he heard that Zhu Mala, Mu Lima, Zhang Tianlu and others had suffered defeats in succession, and he did not rush to go deep into the Ningzhen Mountains to rescue Zhu Mala and Mu Lima, but launched a tentative attack on the periphery, marching south from Zhenjiang to harass Danyang County in the northeast of the Ningzhen Mountains.
The main forces of the Chu army are all around Moling Pass, Jurong County and Yanling Town, there are not many troops on the periphery of Danyang County, the defense line is in vain, and it is almost broken with a stab, Suke Saha's tentative attack is unusually smooth, and the light attack reaches the outskirts of Danyang, and the forward rangers circle around the Danyang city wall twice, but the Chu army in the city has always closed the four gates and ignored it.
Sukh Saha was also in no hurry to attack, and the two sides did not fight or leave, forming a confrontation.
He was waiting for the main force of Zilharang, how Jumala and Mulima were ambushed, how the Chu army had a strange cannon, etc., all of which were reported to Nanjing through the rout and passed on to the Sukh Sakha army, and of course he would not rush into danger.
Zilharang did not let him wait long, and three days later, the main forces of the Qing army arrived one after another.
After crossing the river, the shape in front of Zilharang was very grim.
After Mulima was lured into Yanling Town, the Chu army suddenly sent troops to cut off his back road, built a strong defense line with deep ditches and high walls, and built one behind another, blocking the mountain road that was not wide. Although Mulima and Jumala immediately counterattacked, it was inconvenient for the hilly area to deploy troops, and the Chu army occupied the hills on both sides to form crossfire support, although Mulima and Jumala continued to attack, but the progress has been slow.
At the same time, the follow-up troops of the Chu army successively captured the two camps left by Mulima, as well as the most important county town of Jurong, the elasticity of the defense line increased significantly, and the defense depth was dozens of miles before and after, and the attack of Jumala and Mulima was frustrated, so they had to retreat to Yanling Town again.
It is clear that Jumala and Mulima are subject to special terrain and are no longer able to break through on their own.
In terms of Moling Pass, Zhang Tianlu's troops were completely annihilated, Liu Hongyu surrendered to Xianguan, and Hao Shangjiu's troops were defeated in Hengshan, and he himself did not know his whereabouts. After the Chu army recaptured Moling Pass, the supply line connecting Dangtu had been opened, and a steady stream of military supplies and reinforcements was entering the mountainous area of Ningzhen.
In the city of Nanjing, there are still more than 7,000 Qing troops, and Jiang Xinzhou still has a naval division, but it has fought several defeats one after another, especially after Liu Hongyu surrendered, the morale of the Qing army in Nanjing was very poor, and they did not dare to go out of the city to fight again.
After summarizing and analyzing these latest military intelligence reports one by one, Zilharang immediately entered Nanjing, summoned the generals, Ma Guozhu and other military and political dignitaries, and arranged combat deployments.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Pseudo-Ming Wang Kefan's department is stranded among the mountains of Ning Town, and it is clear that it was intentional and prepared. If our army is in a hurry to rescue Yanling Town, it will most likely follow the example of Mulima. ”
He stopped suddenly, his gaze slowly scanned everyone, and finally stopped on He Luohui's face: "When Mu Lima entered Yanling Town, he brought a batch of grain with the army, and if he saved some food, he should be able to support it for a few days." I plan to break the enemy with a slow attack, advancing to Yanling Town step by step, while waiting for Tan Tai and Fu Lehe's soldiers and horses, what does Gushan really think? ”
He Luohui is inlaid with a white flag and a solid mountain, a third-class elite Qi Nihafan, that is, a white flag inlaid with a capital and a viscount, and has great military achievements, like Tan Tai, he was awarded the position of "Jingyuan General", and he was a commander in charge of his own affairs, and he was definitely a senior general in the Qing army. (Gushan Ezhen is nominally a subordinate of the banner owner, but in fact he is directly responsible to the Manchu Emperor, and is the actual supreme military and political chief of the banner, which is all made by Huang Taiji, just to set up the Eight Banners and strengthen the imperial power.) )
Although He Luohui was not explicitly appointed as the deputy commander, in Zilharang's army, his status was definitely above that of ordinary generals.
"What Prince Zheng said, the last general thought it was very true!"
He Luohui is a general of a hundred battles, and he also sees the current battlefield shape very clearly, which is basically the same as Zilharang's thinking. But he has a special mission, and it is impossible to really be submissive, so after setting a big tone, he asked rhetorically: "It's good to wait for Tan Tai's department, but Fu Lehe is still in Xuzhou, and it will take at least more than ten days to wait for him to arrive, is it too slow?" The so-called noble gods, if our army wants to be fully prepared before attacking, it also gives the thief a chance to breathe. ”
Fu Lehe is the chief general of the follow-up troops in Xuzhou.
Worried about the loss of Nanjing, Jierharang hurried over, only brought more than 30,000 Qing troops, reinforcements transferred from the Shanxi front line and other places, and assembled in Xuzhou.
Fu Lehe is the second son of Azig, only 22 years old this year, due to the power of Dolgon's party leaning towards the government and the opposition, Fu Lehe was named the prince of Zhenguo at the age of seventeen, and belongs to the absolute rising star among the Qing generals from the clan.
(After Dolgon's death, Azig tried to be the regent, but he was a big old man and was no match for Xiaozhuang and others. Most of Azig's descendants, except for those who were killed with him, were relegated to commoners, and Fleuch was no exception.
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, many of his family descendants participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and died on the battlefield. )
A few days ago, Fu Lehe followed Azig to conquer Jiang Jiu in Jiangxi, but in order to rescue Jiangnan, Dolgon was forced to transfer elite troops from Shanxi, and Fu Lehe was transferred to Xuzhou with Tunqi. As Nurhachi's own grandson and Azig's second son, the young Fu Lehe naturally became the chief general of the Xuzhou army.
Tunqi, also surnamed Aixin Jueluo, belongs to the Zilharang faction.
He was the grandson of Shulhaqi, that is, the nephew of Zilharang, who had just been transferred from Beijing and belonged to Zilharang's own close generals. This is also very understandable, as Prince Zheng and the commander of the whole army, it is impossible for Zilharang not to have his own team, but in front of Dolgon's party, the generals of Zilharang's faction are relatively low-key.
In addition to these two obvious factions, there were also some centrists in the Qing army, such as Tong Tulai, the commander of the Han army.
Tong Tulai is Kangxi's maternal grandfather, is the ancestor of the Manchu "Tong Half Dynasty", he followed his father to Nurhachi very early, and successively served as the flag owner of the three Han military flags inlaid with yellow flags, inlaid white flags and blue flags, and can almost be said to be the most powerful banner owner in the history of the Han military flag, and also the highest status of Hanchen in the early Qing Dynasty. Because of Kangxi, the whole family was later carried into Manchuria with a yellow flag. r1152
