Chapter 462: The Tartars are arranging their troops and making a comeback

.

The original lifeless city of Dengzhou, with the arrival of the Tartars, has regained some vitality. Of course, this is a life that no one wants to want. All the shops and all the buildings and halls in Dengzhou City were all closed. All the shops were also closed. All the dwellings were also enclosed. No one was allowed to exist anywhere else, except where the Tartars were stationed.

A large number of Tartars patrolled the streets, arrested the Han Chinese they found, and then escorted them onto ships, all of which were sent to Liaodong. This is the consistent practice of the Tartars. First, it is to strengthen the labor force of Liaodong, and second, it is to prevent the hiding of spies. There is not a single Han in the city, so the spies naturally can't hide. It is precisely because of this that the Han people can hardly gain a foothold in the city of Dengzhou. All intelligence work has been paralyzed.

When the Tartars arrived, the most pitiful thing was the crowd of people who had taken refuge in Dengzhou City. Most of them are big families in Laizhou Mansion and Dengzhou Mansion, and they are hiding in Dengzhou City because they are afraid of the Tiger Ben Army and the Wenxiang Sect. I thought that Dengzhou City was safe and could hide for a while, and there was a chance to make a comeback in the future. Unexpectedly, the Tartars suddenly arrived, and their fate plummeted. They were all taken away by the Tartars. All the family property is naturally gone, and I have become a slave. At this time, they really regretted it. I knew earlier, it was better to follow the Tiger Army!

The original Yamen of the Governor of Denglai has now been occupied by the Tartars. In the vicinity of the yamen, there were all a forest of tooth-swinging taras, staring at everyone around. If you are familiar with the Tartar military system, you can see that these tooth-swinging Tartars all belong to the white flag and the inlaid white flag. Since entering the city of Dengzhou, Dorgon, the owner of the white flag of the Tartars, and Dordor, the owner of the white flag, have lived in the yamen of the governor of Denglai.

As for the original owner of the Denglai Governor's Yamen, Denglai Governor Ruan Dacheng was naturally driven away. However, today Ruan Dacheng returned to the Yamen of the Governor of Denglai. It's just that when he came back here, he was no longer giving orders, but introducing the details of Shandong to Dorgon and Duoduo.

Dolgon and Dordo were half-brothers, and like Azig, Nurhachi's favorite younger sons. When Nurhachi was dying, he divided his most powerful military force, a total of two banners, among his three sons. Unfortunately, they were too young to be sensible at the time. And their sensible mother was forced to death by Huang Taiji under the pretext of an excuse. Therefore, the three brothers, despite the strong armed forces in their hands, could not fight Huang Taiji in the end.

In fact, since Nurhachi died and Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, the life of the three of them has not been easy. Huang Taiji was afraid that the three of them had too many cattle in their hands and posed a threat to themselves, so he repeatedly looked for excuses to deprive them of their military power. For this reason, the flags of their respective commanders have been adjusted several times. The original positive red flag has become a positive white flag, and the original positive white flag has become a positive red flag, and the number of subordinate cattle has also decreased.

Fortunately, under public pressure, Huang Taiji did not dare to go too far, and in the end, Dorgon and Duoduo still kept most of the bulls with the white flag and the white flag, and still had relatively strong military power. This is the most basic reason why they have survived to this point. If it weren't for these Niu Lu, the three of them would have not known where they would have died.

Compared with the brave and unscrupulous Azig, the young and frivolous Duoduo, Dorgon's biggest characteristic is that he is calm and forbearing. He is very smart and very tolerant. He knows when to exert strength and when to endure. Nothing necessary, Dolgon would never do. But once you make a move, you have to do it to the end. Therefore, the Emperor Taiji was most afraid of Dorgon, and he didn't care much about Duoduo and Azig.

Huang Taiji forced the trio's mother, Abahai, to death, and both Azig and Duoduo were very angry for a while. Only Dorgon was silent. Dorgon's death of his mother, Abahai, pretended that nothing had happened. He knew that it was not yet time for revenge. Now he wants to save himself and strengthen himself. He silently used every opportunity to strengthen his military power.

For the Tartars, the best chance to increase their power is, of course, to fight everywhere. The Manchurian people value military exploits the most. As long as you have outstanding military exploits and can seek benefits for your clansmen, even if Huang Taiji wants to be unfavorable to you, you must weigh it again and again, so as not to cause public anger. At the same time, in the continuous foreign conquest and plunder, one's own property and one's own cattle can also continue to increase.

Therefore, from the age of fifteen, Dorgon began to fight on the battlefield. In contrast to Azig and Dordor, who only knew about killing, Dorgon was more politically savvy and more focused on the use of stratagem. Planning the surrender of Dongjiang Town is Dolgon's masterpiece. In fact, it did take a lot of effort on Dorgon's part. But, all of it, it's worth it. Now, his feet have firmly stepped on the land of Shandong.

Shandong was an area where the strength of the Ming army was relatively weak, and it was also an important strategic point of the Ming state. As long as the Tatars gained a firm foothold in Shandong, they could go north to the Gyeonggi region, west to the core hinterland of the Ming Kingdom, cut off the Grand Canal, and go south to the rich Jiangnan. As long as he thinks of the rich Jiangnan, Dolgon's spirits are lifted.

Last year, Huang Taiji led his army from the Great Wall to enter the Kou and grabbed millions of taels of silver, and he was very happy. In the bitter cold land of the north, there can still be such a harvest, if you go to the south of the Yangtze River to loot, what kind of harvest will you have? Just thinking about it makes people's blood boil.

After taking control of Dengzhou City, Dolgon's next goal was, of course, to take control of Shandong. Dolgon was confident in this goal. The only pity is that because of the sea barrier, the Dajin army could not enter Dengzhou City in large numbers. So far, the strength of the Dajin army in Dengzhou City has not exceeded 10,000. The Dengzhou Marines had not yet been completely digested by the Tartars and could not exert their maximum transport capacity. The war horses, which are numerous, have not yet been transported.

I hope that Wang Tingrui can quickly take Huang County, and first open up the road to the interior of the cave. All the logistics and transportation of Dengzhou City have to rely on Liaodong, and even the forage for war horses is all, which is a very deadly place. Fortunately, the Dengzhou Sailor could transport supplies from Liaodong and North Korea, and it was safe for the time being. However, in the long run, the Dajin Army still had to take grain on the spot in Shandong, and could not rely on the transportation from behind.

"Two Belles! Urgent! ”

At this moment, the Tartar spies arrived in a hurry.

"Well, say."

Dorgon said casually.

"Two Belle Lords, our army was blocked in Huang County and suffered heavy casualties."

The spy said quickly.

"Huang County?"

"You take your time."

Dorgon frowned, then said calmly.

"Wang Tingrui?"

"It's rubbish!"

"I can't even take down a small Huang County, what use do I want to come?"

The spy described the battle in Huangxian in detail, and before he finished speaking, Duoduo was already angry and scolding. The first battle of the Dajin Army was unfavorable, and of course he was unhappy.

Dorgon gave Dorgon a deep look, and Dorgon shut up in a huff.

"Zhang Zhun?"

Dorgon chewed on the name slowly.

For the name Zhang Zhun, both Duoduo and Dorgon are a little unfamiliar. When they were in Liaodong, they had never heard of Zhang Zhun's name, and it was not until later, when they were preparing to attack Shandong, that they saw Zhang Zhun's name in the relevant intelligence. However, they really don't know much about Zhang Zhun. So, Dolgon's gaze naturally fell on Ruan Dacheng. There are three people here, if you want to say who knows Zhang Zhun's details best, it is naturally Ruan Dacheng.

Ruan Dacheng hurriedly said: "Fourteen Baylor, this Zhang Zhun is the biggest scourge in Shandong, and there is indeed a group of outlaws under him. If he is in the way of Huang County, he should not be taken lightly. ”

Dorgon said quietly, "Tell me about him." ”

Ruan Dacheng didn't dare to hide it, so he told all the things about Zhang Zhun. How Zhang Zhun started in Fushan City, how he caused trouble everywhere, how he was lewd and lustful, how he violated the yang and yin, how he expanded his territory, and how he eliminated the Tartars on Tianheng Island, all described in great detail. Although these things were handled by Yang Wenyue, and Yang Wenyue also benefited from them, Ruan Dacheng, who took over from Yang Wenyue, was still very clear.

Hearing that Zhang Zhun had actually wiped out hundreds of Tartars on Tianheng Island, Duoduo showed a look of disbelief and tried to interject many times, but was stopped by Dolgon. Dolgon's face never changed much. Hearing the name of Aobai, Dorgon's brows furrowed obviously, as if he had a little impression of the name, as if he remembered something.

Duoduo interjected in a low voice, "The guy who fought with us in the first place is called Aobai. It's a yellow flag again, it must be him. I really didn't expect that he was on Tianheng Island. I said, how come such a warrior has never heard of his name in all the subsequent wars? It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity. I thought how I could transfer him to us with a white flag! ”

Dorgon remembered what Dorgon had to say. It turned out that they had a conflict with Aobai. At the time, both of them concealed their identities. Where are the two of them opponents? As a result, both of them were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces. After going back, the two brothers also wanted to transfer Aobai to their own banner. However, the change of flag requires the approval of Huang Taiji. At that time, their relationship with Huang Taiji was not good, so they were temporarily suppressed. Later, there was no news of Aobai. Slowly I forgot about it. Unexpectedly, Ao Bai actually died in the hands of Zhang Zhun.

"Fourteenth elder brother, let me go to Huang County to have a look?" Duoduo immediately couldn't bear it anymore and said eagerly. He is young and frivolous, he likes to fight the most, and when he first came to Dengzhou City, he wanted to show his talent.

"There's no need. To deal with a Zhang Zhun, he actually asked fifteen Baylors to dispatch, what is that matter? Let Haninga go, he should be able to deal with Zhang Zhun. Dorgon shook his head and said slowly.

Dodor thought for a moment, nodded in approval.

Haninga is a general with a white flag, Jia Lazhangjing, who has always followed Dolgon's southern and northern wars, and can be described as Dolgon's henchman. What is rare is that this Haninga, in addition to being brave, also knows how to use his brain, not the kind that he does brutely. Among the leaders of the Tartars, there are still relatively few such characters. Most of the Tartar leaders are just one warrior.

Dorgon immediately called Haninga and gave him orders.

Haninga said loudly: "What Zhang Zhun! Haven't heard of it! ”

Dolgon frowned and said, "Your task is to take Huang County!" You don't care about the rest! ”

Haninga agreed, turning and coming out.

A moment later, the Tartar soldiers of the brigade, under the leadership of Haning'a, left Dengzhou City. He only brought with him the strength of three Niulu, a total of about nine hundred men. The follow-up troops of the Tartars are still in the Liaodong region and cannot be transported all at once. The most important war horses for the Tartars are still being transported. Therefore, these three Niu Lu of Haninga are all infantry.

Of course, the Tartars will not go out alone. Assisting Haninga in the battle were about seven or eight thousand rebels in Dongjiang Town. The one who led the army was Yuan Anbang, the original general of Dongjiang Town. Shen Shikui's two most powerful generals, Wang Tingrui and Yuan Anbang, both took refuge in Tartar, and the Ming army in Dongjiang Town basically followed suit. In this way, the Ming rebels under the control of Dolgon had thirty or forty thousand people. Of course, he wants to make full use of these 30,000 or 40,000 people.

After Haning'a joined Yuan Anbang's rebels, he came to the front line in Huangxian County. Wang Tingrui and Park Dacheng hurriedly came up to greet them. Haninga waved his hand arrogantly, even if they had met. Regarding the arrogance of Tartar, Wang Tingrui and Park Dacheng naturally didn't dare to say anything. Of course, in Wang Tingrui's heart, no one knows whether he has slandered him ruthlessly.

Along the way, Haning Ah was full of indifference, thinking that the defeat of Huangxian was due to the incompetence of the rebels, not that the defenders were too powerful, and as long as the Dajin army reached Huangxian, it would definitely be able to take it smoothly. However, after going to the front line, Haninga's face changed a little. In the field ahead, there were so many corpses of rebels lying on the ground, which showed the fierceness of the battle.

He was indeed very brave. However, he is definitely not stupid. Fools will not be trusted and reused by Dolgon. He immediately realized that the defenders of Huang County were indeed not easy to deal with. If you are not careful and blindly do it, I am afraid that you will suffer a big loss.

"What's going on?"

Haninga asked in stiff Chinese.

"Huangxian ......"

Wang Tingrui hurriedly described the battle in detail.

Haning's face was solemn, listening to the other party's description without saying a word, but his eyes looked at Huangxian from afar. It's a pity that he was too far away to see the defenders of Huang County clearly. From a distance, Huang County is a dilapidated county seat, and there is nothing worth paying special attention to. Compared with those Ming army castles in Liaodong, the city wall is much inferior. If it weren't for the corpses scattered all over the ground, Haninga would have found it hard to believe that the defenders of Huang County would be able to burst out with such a strong combat effectiveness.

"How many people are there in the defenders of Huang County?"

Haninga suddenly interrupted Wang Tingrui's words and asked coldly.

"I don't know ......"

Wang Tingrui replied bitterly.

"Idiot!"

Haninga scolded fiercely.

I can't even figure out how many defenders there are in Huang County? What kind of battles to fight?

"Get your troops down!"

"Rectification!"

Haninga said angrily.

If it weren't for Dolgon's repeated emphasis that the Han generals should be treated politely, Haninga would have been unkind to Wang Tingrui a long time ago. is so incompetent, and can still command the army, it seems that the Ming Kingdom is really exhausted.

After Wang Tingrui's remnants were defeated and withdrawn, Haninga began to arrange his troops. He had only three Niu Lu troops, which had to be used sparingly, and could only be used in the direction of the key attack. Therefore, the main force of the attack was still Yuan Anbang's 8,000 rebels. Of course, the Dajin Army can't completely refrain from participating in the attack, otherwise, the intention of killing people with a knife is too obvious. Dorgon wouldn't allow him to do that.

"You attack the other three gates!"

"Our Dajin Army is attacking the East Gate!"

Haninga quickly made a decision.

"Yes!"

Yuan Anbang has no objection to this.

Judging from the distribution of corpses on the ground, it is obvious that the defenders have resisted the most fiercely, and it is obvious that it is the East Gate. Now that the Tartars had taken over the attack on the East Gate, they were naturally happy to be relaxed. Of course, it's not necessarily that easy. Outside the other three city gates, there were also many corpses of rebels. It can be inferred from this that the defenders of the other three city gates are also quite strong.

For a while, Yuan Anbang couldn't understand why the combat effectiveness of the defenders in this small Huang County was so strong? Even if it's Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, it may not be so powerful, right? What's even worse is that they really don't know much about this Zhang Zhun!

"Get ready for the siege!"

Haninga shouted at his men.

The combat readiness of the Tartars was very rapid. Soon, all the Tartars were ready to attack the city. Despite the fact that in the open space in front of the Tartars, a large number of rebel corpses lay down. However, the Tartars didn't care at all. In their opinion, the combat effectiveness of these rebels is completely different from that of the Dajin Army. The combat effectiveness of the Ming army is really too scummy, except for defending the city, it is useless at all.

Under Haning's arrangement, Park Dae-sung's 1,000 Korean servant army was responsible for carrying siege weapons such as ladders and sassers. Later, Haning'a lifted the sassalwood so heavy that it delayed the pace of the siege, so he gave up the sassalwood and switched to a wooden ladder. As for the Dajin army itself, they will definitely not carry siege equipment, and they themselves have to free up their hands to deal with the defenders at the head of the city.

The city wall of Huangxian County is only about two zhang high, compared to the city wall of Ningjin front, which is often ten zhang high, it is really low, and the general wooden ladder is completely enough. Judging from the experience of the Tartars who repeatedly entered the city, as long as they could climb to the top of the city, the Ming army would be scattered. In the hand-to-hand combat on the head of the city, the Ming army is not the opponent of the Dajin army at all!
