Chapter 850: The Death of Black Mountain
Dolgon's task is not only to attack Dalinghe City, but also to recover Montenegro, but this task, when the army arrives at Dalinghe City, even if it is completed, the army surrounds Dalinghe City, and it also blocks the retreat of the Ming army in Montenegrin City, originally thought that after the Huang Taiji army came, clean up the Ming army in Montenegro and Yizhou, but Dolgon, who suffered heavy losses, couldn't help it, couldn't help the Jiangning camp, couldn't defeat the border army in Montenegrin City.
Dolgon left behind 60,000 soldiers, besieged Dalinghe City, and led 30,000 soldiers to Montenegro.
Later, the actions of the Golden Tartars were detected by the soldiers on the city wall.
Houjin Tartar withdrew five miles away, firmly surrounded Dalinghe City, Hong Chengchou understood, Houjin Tartar will not attack, after a day's attack, Houjin Tartar suffered heavy losses, and the loss of Jiangning Battalion can almost be ignored, in this case, no matter how many sergeants Houjin Tartar has, don't think about being able to take Dalinghe City, so his attention began to shift to the fortification, the sergeants stationed in Dalinghe City are only 30,000 in total, and the sergeants of the strongholds and fortresses around Dalinghe City, All of them were evacuated to Dalinghe City, that is, Hong Chengchou abandoned the outlying strongholds and fortresses.
Garrisoned in Dalinghe City, there are also 5,000 border troops, these border troops, the main duty, is to wait at the surrounding city gates, to prevent the Houjin Tartars from attacking the city gates, rushing in through the city gates, their combat effectiveness, it is impossible to compare with the Jiangning battalion soldiers.
The officers of the Jiangning battalion quickly rushed to the General Military Mansion and reported the news.
The army of the Houjin Tartars went in the direction of Montenegro, and it was needless to say what they were going to do.
Hong Chengchou's face was grim, and the border army beside him looked at Hong Chengchou. Suddenly knelt down.
"My lord, save the brothers of the border army, after the Golden Tartars attacked Montenegro, the brothers stationed in the city of Montenegro have no way to live."
Hong Chengchou helped up the border army and shook his head.
"It's not that I don't want to save it. It is impossible to save, there are only 30,000 soldiers stationed in Dalinghe City, that is, the entire Guanning Jin defense line, and there are only 70,000 soldiers, we must not give up Dalinghe City, Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, there can be no accident, such a situation. Houjin Tartars did not dare to act rashly, they would never dare to attack Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, they did not know our deployment, only in this case, we could grasp the initiative. ”
"My lord, 100,000 brothers, how many family members are behind them, if Lord Su is still here. Nothing like this will ever happen, woowoo......"
Hong Chengchou's body trembled. Indeed, 100,000 border troops, this is not a small number, if the 100,000 border troops are annihilated by the Houjin Tartars, it will cause a huge shock, and the consequences are unimaginable. At this time, the only one who can solve this problem is Su Tiancheng, if Su Tiancheng brings the Jiangning battalion soldiers in Dengzhou to kill, there is still hope that the 100,000 border troops will be rescued. But this possibility is almost zero, Hong Chengchou knows very well, what the emperor thinks, what the adults in the court think, besides, at this time, even if the Jiangning battalion soldiers set off from Dengzhou, it will be too late.
"Get up, Zu Dashou has been through a hundred battles, and he can still deal with it, if there is danger, I believe that Zu Dashou, Zu Dabi and Zu Dale can still think of a way, the loss is indispensable, I hope the loss is not too huge."
Bian Jun Qianhu stood up, wiped away his tears, and gritted his teeth.
"My lord, my subordinates finally understood, the border army fell into the hands of Lord Chen this time, my subordinates didn't understand it at the beginning, I don't know why Lord Lu Daosu didn't launch an attack, and my subordinates understand now, but unfortunately it was too late."
The people who were responsible for garrisoning the city of Montenegro were the two thousand households of the border army.
When the Houjin Tartars went towards Dalinghe City, the two of them were frightened, and faintly felt that something was wrong, for why there would be so many Houjin Tartars, seeing that the number was not less than 100,000, fortunately, the Houjin Tartars did not attack Montenegro, but the two understood that the reason why Houjin Tartars did not attack Montenegro was to prepare to attack Dalinghe City, if Houjin Tartars took Dalinghe City and garrisoned the border army of Montenegro, there would be no way out.
Whether to wait for Montenegro, or abandon Montenegro, or move towards Yizhou, or bypass Dalinghe City, move towards Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, or go directly to Jinzhou, the two thousand households had a fierce argument, and it was Chen Xinjia's order to give up here without authorization, and it was to be beheaded, besides, there are still a large number of border troops ahead, which are attacking Guangning, and I don't know the situation of Ludao, if it is withdrawn at this time, the border army in front has retreated, and Montenegro has been occupied by the Houjin Tartars, so what should I do, However, there were only 10,000 soldiers stationed in the city of Montenegro, and it was impossible to compete with the large number of Houjin Tartars.
The dispute between the two thousand households lasted for a long time, but they still did not forget, and quickly discharged the sergeants, and informed the border troops stationed in Yizhou that there were 100,000 Houjin Tartars and besieged Dalinghe City.
The officers of the border army have always been a little greedy for life and afraid of death, which is famous for price comparison, Su Tiancheng arrived in Liaodong, and it was too late to remove many border army officers, which also left a fatal hidden danger for the border army.
If you see such a situation, any officer of the Jiangning battalion will make an accurate analysis, the city of Montenegro will definitely not be able to stand it, the power of the Houjin Tartar is too strong, take advantage of the time when it has not been surrounded, quickly withdraw, the city is dead, people are alive, the first thing that needs to be preserved is the combat effectiveness, that is, the lives of the soldiers, because this is something that Su Tiancheng has repeatedly emphasized, unless it is a critical moment, you must pay sacrifices, even if you face an enemy who is several times stronger than yourself.
This can't be completely blamed on these two thousand households, because there are tens of thousands of border troops in front of them, who are attacking, and they are not very clear about the specific situation.
When the sky was not dawning, the border troops stationed in Montenegro found that they had been surrounded on three sides, and there were dense tartars everywhere, and the cliffs behind the city of Montenegro were on cliffs, which was equivalent to saying that the border troops were blocked from all their way of life, and there was no way to break through.
At this time, all the complaints have no effect, there is only one way, desperate resistance.
The two thousand households can't complain, their indecisiveness can be regarded as ruining the survival of 10,000 border troops.
The tragic siege began.
There is no heavy artillery in the city of Montenegro, only some tiger squat cannons and furlong machine guns, but these cannons also played a major role in the defensive battle, but the rain of arrows of the Golden Tartar is too powerful.
By noon, the border army suffered heavy casualties, and some of the corpses that had not had time to be collected were on the city wall.
If at this time, there is news of rescue, the combat effectiveness of the border army will be greatly enhanced, and if there is no hope, there is only a dead end, at this time, the resistance will be greatly weakened, and all kinds of ideas will appear.
At the end of the day, the Houjin Tartars, who were besieging the city, shot a letter, which meant that the Ming army was required to surrender, otherwise when the city was broken, they would all be killed.
Fierce arguments began to appear among the officers, and the opinions of the two thousand households began to diverge, which was a very terrible situation, and in the end, the thousand households who were responsible for the defense of Montenegro insisted on resisting, at this time, I am afraid that there is not much way out of surrender, if they surrendered, they were sent to attack Dalinghe City, at that time, how to face the brothers stationed in Dalinghe City.
Qianhu's words silenced everyone, this situation is very likely, if they go to attack Dalinghe City, they have no hope of survival, and they will be nailed to the tombstone of shame forever.
The opinion of sticking to it soon gained the upper hand, the big deal is death, maybe there will be some miracle if you stick to the city of Montenegro, compared to it, the cost of surrender is too great.
Inside the city of Montenegro, there is an atmosphere of despair, whether it is sticking to it or not, everyone knows that there is no chance of survival.
Shin time, the offensive began again.
The brutal fighting appeared on the city wall, and some of the Houjin Tartars who had made it to the city wall were carried by the guarding border soldiers and rolled down the city wall together, and both fell to their deaths.
Paying attention to the siege of Dolgon, his heart began to chill, he didn't expect that a day ago, when he passed through the city of Montenegro, he was afraid to see these border troops, but a day later, there would be such a situation, the border army did not surrender at all, desperately resisted, and did not think that he could survive at all. The appearance of such fighting spirit in the border army cannot be the credit of Chen Xinjia, only Su Tiancheng can do this, thinking of the heavy losses of the army attacking Dalinghe City, Dolgon couldn't help but shudder, could it be said that Su Tiancheng is really the nemesis of the Great Qing Kingdom.
It was getting dark, and after a whole day of attacking, the city of Montenegro was still in the hands of the border army.
Dolgon began to feel irritable, the border army stationed in Montenegro could not be compared with the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, and there was no artillery, in this case, there was no attack in one day, and the sergeants also paid heavy losses, and the number of casualties reached more than 2,000.
The border troops stationed in Montenegro held out for a day, which was a precious day.
After daybreak, the siege began, and the Houjin Tartars began a full-scale attack.
After dark, there were not many border troops sticking to the city of Montenegro, most of the sergeants were killed, and the remaining sergeants knew that the next day was the time for the city to be broken, they had no fear, they were numb, and the fighting was too tragic, so that they couldn't think of anything else, and it was proud that the casualties of the Houjin Tartars were also heavy, and several times, they had to take the initiative to stop the attack.
May 22nd.
When the day dawned and the fiery sun rose, the shouts of killing appeared again, and finally, when it was time for Shen, a large number of Houjin Tartars went up to the city wall......
The remnant sun is like blood, witnessing this tragic scene. (To be continued......)
