Chapter 524: The Unreasonable Battle of Shandong

(Read more)

"What?" Hong Chengchou and Liu Yuliang asked at the same time: "Be careful, have you ever seen it wrong?" ”

Scout: "Pavilion Elder, the general system, the Sichuan army Wang Yuncheng's army was wiped out." The heads of Gonggong Gao and General Wang are hanging above the big head of the slave chieftain Yuetuo. The subordinates have come close enough to see it really. Jiannu ...... Jiannu seemed to have the intention of demonstrating, and when we waited for the past, the enemy scouts did not disperse the ......"

"Ahh Liu Yuliang stumbled back two steps, sat on a chair, and his face turned pale. The southern invasion of Jiannu has already beaten the Ming Dynasty to the point of losing face. A superintendent was martyred, a secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was killed, and more than one battalion of troops was annihilated by the formation, which can be described as a precedent for the use of troops abroad since the founding of the dynasty.

Although the civil officials despise the eunuchs in their hearts, they are also the internal ministers, and they are the face of the Ming Dynasty, and it is an unprecedented shame to die on the battlefield like this.

Moreover, after this battle, the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty into the Shandong army did not mention retreating from the enemy, even if they relieved the siege of Jinan, they did not have any heart. The armies of the towns no longer have the slightest courage to confront the enemy's battlefield, even if they don't retreat, how can they talk about marching?

Is Jinan going to be lost, and is it going to set a precedent for losing the capital of a province?

"How should I explain to the court!" Liu Yuliang's feet trembled, and the whole person almost collapsed on the chair.

Liu Yuliang is an old bureaucrat and has no talent. The reason why he achieved the position of auxiliary minister of the cabinet was, to put it bluntly, his qualifications. It was not until those talented and learned elders were replaced by Emperor Chongzhen one by one, and there was really no one to take the throne. Emperor Chongzhen also had no way----- it was a dish to be sandwiched on the plate.

He is a man who has no bearing and no courage. In real history, after Liu Yuliang became the Beijing Television Division, he refused to go to the front line because he was afraid of Jiannu. He led his men and horses around the Gyeonggi area in circles all day long, trying to avoid contact with the enemy.

After the news of Lu Xiangsheng's martyrdom came, Liu Yuliang was so frightened that he couldn't stand on his feet and couldn't walk.

When he came back to his senses, Liu Gelao's first thought was not how to retreat from the enemy, but his own safety. So, he turned around directly and headed north, fled directly into the old camp of the Qin army in Baoding, and hid in the fortified city of Baoding until the end of this battle.

Liu Yuliang was afraid of the enemy, and after Jiannu robbed Hebei and returned to the northeast of Shandong, he was naturally pursued by the imperial court, was cut down, removed from all official positions, and rushed home to retire.

In this time and space, it is not surprising that Liu Gelao hid in the Ningxiang army to spend his days in chaos.

Hong Chengchou was also pale, and the battle was like this, even if he had three heads and six arms, he was unthinkable.

Cheng was wiped out by an army, and a celebrant and internal minister were lost. Jiannu's fierceness has completely crushed the morale of the Ming army, but the Ming army lost this battlefield.

Jinan...... To be lost!

As the scout spoke, he suddenly wailed: "The general system, the elder of the pavilion, is really miserable, too miserable. The surface of the Daqing River was full of the corpses of the Sichuan brothers, spread from the west bank to the east bank, like a bridge. The corpse was pressed one layer at a time, and the human blood coagulated into one. Some of them didn't die for a while, screaming and shouting below...... But what can I do, I froze...... The sound is getting less and less, and it is getting quieter......"

Everyone in the tent fell silent, and the air was suffocating.

Hong Chengchou's hand trembled slightly: "How many people are still alive in the Sichuan army?" ”

"I don't know, I don't know!" The scout was probably so stimulated that he didn't care about the decency, he screamed in surprise, and couldn't help shaking his head: "Maybe someone is alive, maybe none of them have come back, I don't know, I don't know." ”

"Bastard thing!" Some of the staff shouted angrily.

Scout: "I really don't know, the Sichuan army is over, it's over!" When he said that, he burst into tears.

Hong Chengchou waved his hand, "Go down and rest!" ”

Two guards walked in and took the scout out.

When the scouts were sent away, Cao Bianjiao asked carefully: "General system, things can no longer be done, what should be done next, please show the general system." ”

Hong Chengchou took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down his churning Wunei: "What else, I still ordered all the armies to shrink to the old camp, echoing each other, and let Jiannu take advantage of the situation." Yue Tuo had already freed up his hands after defeating the Sichuan army, and he was cunning with his soldiers, so he had to guard against him from attacking our army. This old slave will definitely not let go of this opportunity. Tell the armies to hurry up, hurry up......"

Later, Hong Chengchou's voice began to become sharp, and he had obviously lost his bearings.

That's right, it is quite appropriate to describe the Ming army at this moment by being attacked on the back of the enemy, and the key is that the Ming army has now completely lost its morale.

With so much time left before dark, will the ministries be able to smoothly shrink back to the old camp?

Hong Chengchou didn't have the slightest confidence, he was able to sit in the tent and wait.

All the people are waiting.

I don't know how long it took, but news came that the town army of Shanhaiguan was finally defeated after a day of fierce battle with Dolgon, and suffered heavy casualties. After receiving the order of the Chinese army, he retreated, and he was safely withdrawn.

"It's good to go back, it's good to go back." Hong Chengchou muttered.

Then, after a while, the Xuanfu army also retreated.

The Datong Army and the Taiyuan Army retreated.

The Shandong army returned to the camp safely.

Although Ning Yuan's army has been dispersed, when it returns to the old camp, it has maintained a complete structure, and presumably within the next day or two, the defeated army will be able to return to the formation.

The good news is one after another, and after roughly calculating, all the armies are still intact and have not suffered too much loss.

Hong Chengchou finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat back in his chair with a bang, and stroked his forehead with his hand: "It's finally back, it's back, the army is still there." A certain finally retained a trace of the power to fight back, and this Shandong has not been completely lost to Jiannu. Otherwise, there will be only one death to thank the king. ”

Speaking of this, he only felt haggard, and his body and bones seemed to fall apart.

Everyone else also showed a smile: except for the Sichuan army being completely eaten, all the towns were still intact, which was a blessing in misfortune.

Only Liu Yuliang kept asking where Ning Xiangjun had gone, and why there was no news back. After asking, Liu Ge Lao was about to explode, and his face was as black as the snowy sky outside.

"Yes, where did the Ning Xiangjun go?" Hong Chengchou suddenly sat up straight: "Also, why didn't Yue Tuo make any moves after eliminating the Sichuan army, this is unreasonable??" ”

Indeed, if you think about it, there are many doubts about this battle.

According to Hong Chengchou's pre-war arrangement, the main forces of the six towns attacked at the same time, attracting the attention of the main force of Jiannu, and covering Gao Qi to sneak into Jinan.

The Jiannu were actually divided into three groups, with the Dolgon being the strongest, the Yueto being the second, and the Duoduo being the weakest, but the cavalry the most.

The main task of the Ming army's six towns was to hold down Dolgon and Yuetuo, and as for the Duoduo department, it was handed over to the newly formed cavalry of the Ningxiang army.

But he didn't want to, as soon as the battle began, Yue Tuo set his sights on Gao Qiqian, saw through the strategic intentions of the Ming army command, and raided the Sichuan army with the elite main force, and beheaded Gao Qiqian and Wang Yuncheng.

According to the scout's report, Yue Tuo's raid on Gaobu did not drag on for a long time, that is, it took more than an hour. Replaced by him Hong Chengchou is Yue Tuo, after the total annihilation of the Sichuan army, Da Ke continued to advance with the power of victory, found the main force of the Ming army to fight a decisive battle, and continued to expand the results.

It's strange to say that Yue Tuo actually retreated.

Yue Tuo is a treacherous and slippery, how could he make such a low-level mistake, impossible, impossible?

At the strangest time, there was no news from the Dor Order. Where he is and what he does is still an unsolved mystery for Hong Chengchou. Not only Duoduo, but even Ning Xiangqi, who went to entangle Duoduo, also disappeared into thin air.

Could it be that the Ningxiang Army bit Duoduo, if so, there should be news from Sun Yuan's side.

Moreover, it has been almost a day since the Ningxiang Army set off. Even if they had found Dodor's cavalry, they would not have been entangled for so long.

With Jiannu's fierceness and the main elite, Sun Yuan will be defeated, and if he can hold on for an hour, he will be considered a first-class strong army.

This battle is becoming more and more incomprehensible.

As a commander with rich military experience, Hong Chengchou has never fought any kind of battle. can think of today's chaotic, broken, and inexplicable battle, but this is the first time he has encountered it, and his brain is suddenly insufficient.

Looking back, Hong Chengchou was depressed again. This battle came out of the main force of the six towns, and it has used sixty percent of the troops in the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty to fight a decisive battle with the enemy. But the Jiannu Yue Tuobu suddenly retreated, and Duoduo did not show up. In other words, the main force of the Six Towns faced only a mere Dolgon, but in the end, Dolgon was beaten all over the ground looking for teeth.

If Yue Tuo and Duoduo joined the battle group at the same time, it is not known whether the Ming army will be able to retreat smoothly in this battle.

Jiannu's fierceness and courage are even as good as Ruosi.

A chill rose in Hong Chengchou's heart, and there was a deep sense of powerlessness.

After taking over the reinforcements of Governor Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou was still full of ambition to do a big job in Shandong. Now it seems that it is unknown whether it can report itself.

"Perhaps, what a certain should do now is not to defeat the Jianjin Kou army, not to relieve the siege of Jinan, but to try to preserve the vitality of the elite of the nine sides!" Hong Chengchou thought secretly, and there was this kind of grief and indignation in his heart inexplicably: "When did my army of the Ming Dynasty become like this?" ”

Infected with Hong Chengchou's depression, everyone trembled and did not dare to speak.

Only Liu Yuliang kept asking where the Ningxiang cavalry went, and shouted for him to send scouts out to find them.

At this time, suddenly, a scout rushed in: "General system, elder Ge, there is news of the Ningxiang cavalry!" ”

Liu Yuliang asked anxiously: "Where is Sun Yuan?" ”

The scout knelt on one knee on the ground: "General system, elder Yu Ge, General Sun Yuan has bitten the Jiannu Duoduo Department, and the two armies are fighting." ”

"Ah, I've found the Dors." Hong Chengchou's face was overjoyed, and then his face changed greatly: "Quick, pass my order to Sun Yuan, just say that it is impossible to do anything, and let him withdraw the troops immediately." ”

Liu Yuliang also came to his senses and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, let him retreat, don't fight with Jiannu anymore, protect himself, retreat ......" The voice changed.

Now, the Sichuan army has been wiped out, and the heads of Gao Qiqian and Wang Yuncheng have been cut off. Even if Sun Yuan bites the Duoduo Department and delays for some time, what's the point?

Unnecessary sacrifices are made against injustice.
