Of course, although the loss of Gaizhou was shocking, it even shocked Huang Taiji. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, for Huang Taiji, it is not a big deal.

Originally, the city defense of Gaizhou was in disrepair for a long time, and now it was suddenly attacked and lost by the Ming army, which is understandable.

The key is that since this group of Ming soldiers has exposed their whereabouts without knowing whether they are alive or dead, then okay, if I don't kill all of you, I'm sorry for the three words Huang Taiji.

Although you now occupy Gaizhou, you are alone, and the supplies may not be able to keep up.

Experience told Huang Taiji that in the past, the supply of the Liaodong Peninsula had to rely on the two prefectures of Denglai in Shandong to receive help, not to mention Gaizhou further away.

For him, the Ming army in Gaizhou is nothing more than a problem of ringworm, and it is a big deal that Gaizhou will let them occupy it for two days.

"Ahh Huang Taiji shouted to a man in his fifties who was sitting slightly back.

"The minister is here!"

Although in the war against the Ming Dynasty, this record is not obvious, but once in the campaign against Korea, he made great achievements. Naturally, he is also a strong general who can fight well.

"You lead the people of your headquarters to Gaizhou overnight and wipe out this group of Ming troops for me!"

Until now, Huang Taiji has not put the army attacking Gaizhou in his eyes, and his eyes are now fixed on Ningyuan, Jinzhou and other places in the west.

For him, that is the real battlefield, once Zhu Changyuan leads the army to attack. There is bound to be a big battle between this Ning Jin. Although Zhu Changyuan's strength is very different from the 400,000 army commanded by Hong Chengchou before. But Huang Taiji was not sure about the outcome of the war with Zhu Changyuan.

Ah Min got the order and led the troops away.

What Huang Taiji didn't know was that this was the last time he saw his little brother and cousin in his life.

Half a day after Amin's expedition, Huang Taiji received news from the front again.

A soldier hurriedly walked into the main hall from outside the door and presented an urgent report from the front. Huang Taiji opened it, and immediately became angry, and scolded loudly: "Are the defenders of Yaozhou all pigs? ”

"Your Majesty. What happened? ”

Sensing that something was wrong, Dorgon quickly knelt down and asked.

Huang Taiji angrily threw the music in his hand to the ground and said, "Take a look for yourself." ”

Dolgon picked up the music tremblingly, and before he finished reading it, he understood why his imperial brother's face was so ugly?

It turned out that Yaozhou, another city less than fifty miles north of Gaizhou, also fell in an instant and was broken by the Ming army.

Dolgon didn't care about being angry and angry like Huang Taiji, he thought about it calmly for a while and said, "Your Majesty. There must be something strange about this. It stands to reason that the city defense of Yaozhou City is not weak, why did it fall in such a short time? ”

Huang Taiji sat in his seat and did not speak. Still breathless, snorting and panting.

Dorgon said to his subordinates, "Go quickly, and find out where this army attacking Gaizhou and Yaozhou came from?" ”

"Yes!"

The next general took the order.

Dolgon began to comfort Huang Taiji again: "Brother Huang, don't worry, Amin has already led the army away, so there shouldn't be any problems." ”

"Alas!" Huang Taiji sighed and said, "I'm afraid that those Ming troops will be in trouble if they point to Haizhou. ”

In a word, it is a prophecy.

Two hours later, Huang Taiji received the news: Haizhou has been breached!

Dorgon felt a little uncomfortable.

Logically speaking, even if the average army can fight again, it is impossible for a force of only two or three thousand people to take three cities in one day.

Moreover, the city defense of Haizhou City is not comparable to small places like Gaizhou and Yaozhou, although Haizhou City is not as strong as Ningyuan City and Shanhaiguan, but even with the strength of the Qing army, I am afraid that at least tens of thousands of people will have to be mobilized if they want to attack it.

Unless, someone in the city opens the door and surrenders!

At this time, not only Dolgon, but Huang Taiji also understood, I am afraid that this is Zhu Changyuan saw that he did not have the sincerity of peace talks, and gave himself eye medicine.

Another day later, an even sadder news came, which made Huang Taiji have to pay attention to this small group of Ming troops harassing under his nose.

It is reported that Amin led his headquarters to Gaizhou for reinforcements, and met the Ming army in the north near Liaoyang, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.

The result of the battle was: more than 8,000 people under Amin's department, including soldiers and cavalry, none of them survived, and all of them were annihilated by the army of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the casualties of the Ming Dynasty army, it is impossible to know for the time being.

"Brother Amin!"

After Huang Taiji heard that Amin was killed in battle, he had angina pectoris, and he rolled down the imperial steps with black eyes, and then spit out two mouthfuls of black blood, unconscious.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The ministers below rushed up and surrounded the three outer layers of Huang Taiji, and they were busy for a while.

Dorgon rubbed his temples, but he was in no mood to care about the life or death of Huang Taiji, because after hearing the recital, he thought more far-reaching, so he should be the most anxious now.

Amin and the Ming army met in Liaoyang and fought a big battle, what does that mean?

It shows that the Ming army has arrived in Liaoyang, and it will attack the city overnight, in case the city of Liaoyang is broken, then Shengjing will be directly exposed to the enemy's minions.

If Zhu Changyuan's army approached Shenyang from Liaoyang at this time, then whether it was Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan or Jinzhou, all the garrisons would have become decorations and would have no effect.

Therefore, the top priority now is to transfer a large army to Liaoyang and completely wipe out this Ming army.

Dolgon hurriedly came out of the palace and went to consult with Daishan, asking him to lead the men and horses of the two banners headquarters to defend the country. As soon as he walked to Dai Shan's house, the people he had sent to inquire about the news came back and reported to him in more detail.

"Lord Wang, according to the report of the spies, the Ming army that appeared in Liaoyang this time was only more than 3,000 people, led by a team of about 200 silver-armored iron cavalry, although the number of this team of cavalry is small, but its speed is as fast as thunder, as sharp as a steel knife, Amin's troops fought with it, and it was crushed at the first touch. All the centaurs, no one survives! ”

"I see!"

Dolgon placed the secret letter in his hand on the table and muttered, "I know which team this is!" As he spoke, he looked at Dai Shan with an unnatural face.

Dai Shan nodded and said: "If you are as fast as thunder, if you are in a no-man's land, when there are cavalry today, there are only the two hundred cavalry under Zhu Changyuan who beheaded Sun Xiaofeng and chased Zhang Xianzhong for thousands of miles, and there is nothing else." ”

"Yes, what the second brother said is very true!"

Dorgon nodded.

"It's just that I'm very strange, haven't these two hundred iron horsemen been staying in Shaanxi? When did you come to Liaodong? After speaking, he was taken aback and said, "It's not good, save Liaoyang!" ”

"No need!" Dolgon waved his hand and said, "The second brother expected it, and the younger brother naturally expected it." After a pause, he said: "We can't be led by Zhu Changyuan like this, if we send a large army to Liaoyang now, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

"At the moment, the only way to do this is to place the army south of Shengjing, and if Zhu Changyuan dares to attack our Beijing division, he will fight to the death at that time. At the same time, let the defenders of Ningyuan and Jinzhou come to help! ”

Dai Shan nodded, "That's very good." ”

"Just!" Dai Shan said with some puzzlement: "Although the other party has two hundred cavalry, if the garrisons of Ningyuan and Jinzhou are transferred, is it a bit of a fuss." ”

What Dai Shan said is very reasonable, he has two banners of soldiers and horses in his hands, plus a piece of at least 50,000 horses, and the other party is only 3,000 people, if the elite of the entire Qing Kingdom is transferred to destroy this Ming army, it is indeed a bit overkill.

However, Dolgon waved his hand and said: "The second brother doesn't know, this battle must not be lost, you must know that after Liaoyang is Shengjing, if you are defeated, your father's and brother's foundation will be ruined!" ”

Dai Shan suddenly realized and said: "I understand, or the fourteenth brother has thought about it carefully, and this king will lead his army south to block Zhu Changyuan's army." ”

"Good!" After Dolgon finished speaking, he told again: "Second brother must not be, this time you have to defend, you don't have to attack." ”

++++++++++++++++++

Kong He led a large army, all the way from Gaizhou to Liaoyang, and in just a few days, he occupied several large cities, and finally conquered Liaoyang and faced the Qing army of Shenyang Wei.

After the capture of Liaoyang, he received a call from Zhu Changyuan, asking him to repair on the spot and not have to move forward.

Rest on the spot, put the military in order, and stabilize the city that has been occupied.

The happiest person is Zhu Jinbiao, who came with the army, he originally thought that he, the chief military officer of Liaoyang, should go to the post after the chief military officer of Ningyuan, Jinzhou and even Dongjiang, but he didn't expect that in addition to Qin Lin, he was the first general soldier to have matching land.

He really wanted to get Shenyang Wei down in one go, and when the time came, he would ask General Tian for a Shenyang chief military officer, and he would be able to play prestige, but unfortunately, for some reason, General Tian ordered to stop the march, and he stayed in Liaoyang.

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't move, in order to show that he is the chief soldier here, Zhu Jinbiao worked very hard, and repaired the Liaoyang City that had been broken before in one day, and then hanged himself to comfort the residents in the city.

In fact, there were not a few dead people in Liaoyang City, and all the big battles were fought on the periphery of Liaoyang.

+++++++++++

Huang Taiji woke up slowly, and after learning everything, he sighed and said: "Order Daishan to garrison, not to attack Liaoyang, in addition, Mr. Hong and Lord Fan, please go to Shanhaiguan in person, I am willing to reopen peace talks with Zhu Changyuan." ”

As for whether Zhu Changyuan wants to negotiate peace, in fact, he has no idea in his heart.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Fan Wencheng took the order.

"Fourteenth brother, order someone to clean up the Siping Pass along the way, and don't let the Ming army detour to the rear, if nothing happens......"

Huang Taiji didn't continue, but Dorgon understood. Huang Taiji meant: If Zhu Changyuan is really unwilling to negotiate peace, I am afraid that they can only withdraw from Siping to the north and stay away from the Ming Dynasty. (To be continued.) )

ps: good night.
