Chapter 805: Three Parties
With the general of Leopard Tao, Gao Shiyin, flanking the Tartars, he led the middle battalion and the left battalion of the Suzaku Army to have a first-class battalion and a second-class battalion, and there were hussars and chasseurs, and then the right battalion of the cavalry of the Chinese army, the sabre cavalry, and a third-class rear battalion in the army, and some artillery and rocket troops, about 20,000 people.

With the noble and noble generals of the left battalion of the White Tiger Army, he led the second battalion of the left battalion of the White Tiger Army, the two C-class battalions in the front and rear of the army, the right battalion of the Suzaku Army, and the sabre cavalry of the left battalion of the cavalry of the Chinese army, and some artillery and rocket troops, also about 20,000 people.
Their task was to go around in a circle and go straight to the Jingshi, and after exterminating the thieves in the city, leave some people to defend, and then close the city gates, and the rest continue to go north and attack the thieves from behind.
This is the battle plan of the General Staff, the 230,000 Jingbian Army and the friendly army are divided into six parts, and the three parts are relatively closely integrated, only Sun Sanjie's rear road and the two big flank attacks are unpredictable, because the distance is too far.
This plan is also the result of the planning of the Chief of Staff Wen Fangliang, the Deputy Ministers Zhong Susu, Zhong Tiaoyang, Gao Shiyin, the senior praise painting Qin Yi, Wen Shiyan, and a large number of ordinary praise paintings. However, with the arrival of information about the thieves, the ROK and the DPRK believe that this plan may be slightly adjusted.
He said: "Don't collect sentry at night, yesterday the thief Liu Fangliang and Liu Xiyao have led part of the horse team to Qinghedian, and this morning, the thief Li Zicheng led the army to come. There is also information that the thieves have been stationed in Tongzhou, Liangxiang, Fangshan, Xianghe and other places, and they are limited to arrive at Qinghedian within three days, that is, before the 19th Shen Shi, and those who have not arrived after this hour will be killed. ”
He said: "But the thieves march slowly and slowly, and many of the battalions may not arrive after nineteen days. According to the intelligence, their horse corps only sentinels to the left and right fronts of Qinghedian, and completely abandoned the rolling hills on their west side, probably thinking that our army could not form a formation on that side. ”
Han Chao pointed to the sand table and said, "So I flanked the army of thieves, why wait until the war to go?" It is completely possible to set off one or two days in advance, and hide in the west mountain in advance. ”
Pointing to the large mountains in the West Mountain, Han Chao said: "Especially Cuifeng Mountain, only thirty miles away from the capital, the east mountain shape is strangely steep, covered by smoke clouds and trees, but the west and south are gentle, called Pingpo Mountain, Wollonggang." Our army can completely hide in the mountains, and when the time comes, we will immediately attack the capital, and enter the inner and outer cities from Fuchengmen and Guang'anmen respectively. ”
"By setting out so early," he said, "the army could have less haste and need fewer horses and mules, or more shells and rockets with horses and mules." Close to the capital, you can also quickly enter the city to exterminate the thieves in the city, so as not to have many dreams at night. ”
He said: "The last general also thought that the number of troops to flank the thieves could be more, and the Chinese army garrison had a total of 50,000 troops, and the troops were too abundant, so they could draw another 10,000 people to flank the thieves." In this way, after capturing the capital division, 10,000 people were left to defend the city, and the other 20,000 people went north, and they could intercept more thieves, especially the old camp of thieves. ”
Everyone was contemplative, indeed, looking at the thief's procrastination, and not caring about the tail, it was indeed possible to ambush and hide in advance, so that there would not be so many horses and mules, and more infantry could be thrown in that direction.
There are also soldiers and horses who flank the Tartars, and they can also be ambushed in the military capital mountain in advance, where the mountains are stacked, and there are places where the soldiers and horses can be hidden.
Wang Dou looked at the sand table and listened to everyone's discussion, flanking the thief's side, Wang Dou leaned towards Han Chao's opinion, but flanking the Tatar's side, he needed more information.
Although Dolgon led the army to Shunyi, the thieves and Tartars had arrived, and the enemy's movements in all aspects were basically as the staff conjecture, but for a more detailed response, he had to look at the specific arrangements of the Tartar thieves, and he decided to look at it for another day tomorrow, and then flank the bandits' forces to take a step forward.
……
Near noon on the 17th, Li Zicheng led the generals and the mighty team to the north, they walked along the official road, passed through the stone tablet shop and the double line shop, and finally arrived at Qinghedian. They are basically horses, and the foot soldiers will not arrive until the next day, and the artillery battalion may also arrive tomorrow.
Their brigade passed through Qinghe South Town, crossed the Guangji Bridge, and finally arrived at Qinghe North Town.
This town is prosperous because of the Qing River, and is divided into the south town and the north town by the Qing River, because it is in the capital to Juyongguan must pass through the main road, and Shahedian and other places, it has always been very busy. However, at this time, there was not a single resident in the town, and when Liu Zeqing was defeated and fled to Qinghedian yesterday, the residents in the town were scattered and fled north into Changping.
When crossing the Guangji Bridge, Liu Fangliang and Liu Xiyao, who were stationed in Beizhen, hurried to greet them, this bridge is also a stone arch bridge, also known as the Qinghe Bridge, built in the 14th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, it is already very ancient, but the bridge is not long, only 30 steps away.
Seeing the two, Li Zicheng couldn't rest, and immediately asked about the battle report ahead, and the two said that the Jingbian army and horse team had committed Qinghedian, but they were all repelled by them, and with the increase of their own horse team, their aggression became more and more powerless.
They were stationed ten miles away in Bao'erling and Tangjialing, and they had tried to go to the sentinels, but they were also repelled by them, and now the two sides were in a state of stalemate, and no one could help anyone.
Li Zicheng's mind was slightly relieved, he had been worried that Qinghedian would be captured, and at present, it seemed that Changping and this side were the vanguard of the Jingbian army, and their main force might have just arrived in Changping Prefecture or had not yet arrived in Changping Prefecture, which gave him plenty of time to prepare.
He hesitated a little in his heart, and other thoughts flashed, should he concentrate his forces to eat these forwards of the Jingbian Army first?
However, then he denied this idea, this battlefield was the most suitable for the Dashun army, and he was worried that if he ate these forwards, he would scare away the follow-up Jingbian army. After all, his main army has not yet fully arrived, and the current situation is most in line with the interests of the Dashun army.
Two or three miles west of Qinghedian is Dongshengling, there are three miles long from east to west, there is also one mile from north to south, the mountains are not high, but compared with the empty and flat four fields but the sight is good, Li Zicheng took the generals, and personally rode with the horse team more than 100 to ride up the Dongshengling.
He rode his horse and looked out over the hill, and in front of him was a vast field, the land was flat, the trees were sparse, there was almost no vegetation, only some sparse trees on both sides of the official road.
There are no villages in all directions, because this place is very short of water, there is only a Tangjialing shop ten miles away, and then the opposite side is a wider stretch and a higher mountain range.
He raised his eyes and looked at it for a while, and saw dozens of horse teams running around in the field, looking at their armor, it was his own horse team and the Jingbian army horse team. Seeing them chasing each other, you come and go, the fight is very fierce, but Li Zicheng watched for a long time, and saw that their casualties were only in the number.
However, Li Zicheng put his mind at ease, it seems that although the Jingbian Army is brave, it is not impossible to deal with it.
They could easily defeat Liu Zeqing from the outer camp, but they were helpless against their own old battalion.
They went west to Dongshengling, ran along the Qinghe River, this Qinghe is an important river in the north of the capital for 30 miles, I heard that the source is an acre of spring in Changping Prefecture, and then flows through Shuangtadian, flows through here from the southeast, and flows east to the Shahe River, and then enters the Baihe River.
The Qinghe River is not wide, but twenty or thirty steps, the water is not deep, and you can cross the river very easily by riding a horse and wading in step.
However, from Dongshengling to the west for five or six miles, the lakes and springs will gradually increase, and from time to time you can see the manors built by dignitaries and nobles, and there are traces of rice fields around. Then you will see the vast Fuhai, surrounded by large and small gardens, the most famous are Tsinghua Garden and Spoon Garden.
One is built by Li Wei, the marquis of Wuqing Dynasty, the emperor of Wanli, because of the magnificent scale, known as "the first garden in Beijing". It is built by one meter and ten thousand bells, and guides the lake outside the east wall of Tsinghua Garden, which is elegant and beautiful, and takes the meaning of "a spoonful of Haidian".
The farther to the west, the gardens gather, but the pavilions and pavilions and the lakes and mountains reflect each other.
But at this time, the horse team galloped, the rude laughter was endless, the Shun army in the north rushed to be stationed at the lake's edge, especially the various gardens were their favorite, they ran around, the horses' hooves burst, and the elegance was completely gone.
Li Zicheng was silent, and continued to run westward, four or five miles to the west is Wengshanbo and West Lake, and Wengshanbo is Wengshan to the north.
The gold lord Wanyan Liang once set up the Jinshan Palace here, and there is the Ming Xiaozong nursing mother to help the Holy Lady to build the Yuanjing Temple in front of the urn mountain, the Ming Wuzong also built the palace on the lakeside, called "the good mountain garden", when the Ming Xi sect, Wei Zhongxian took the good mountain garden as his own.
There are a lot of gardens around Wengshan, and there is a red mountain in the west of Wengshan, and Yuquan Mountain in the southwest, Li Zicheng saw that the mountain in front of the red mountain was gentle, and the east and west were about three or four miles long, and he thought that a lot of soldiers and horses could be arranged here, and then attack the position of the Jingbian army from the left flank.
They rode their horses and galloped in front of the Urn Mountain, and entered the plain between the Red Mountain and the Yuquan Mountain, where the flat land was three or four miles wide from east to west, and three or four miles from north to south.
Li Zicheng looked at the mountains on the west side, which seemed to be quite gentle, and he said: "Can you gather troops in the plains behind this red mountain, and then climb over the mountains and bypass the Baiwang Mountain in front?" ”
Liu Fangliang said: "The last general once sent a sentinel to investigate, it was very easy, and after climbing the mountain for less than two miles, he entered the valley on the other side of the mountain, and then entered the plain land. ”
Li Zicheng nodded, and there was another place to attack the flank of the Jingbian Army.
……
At about three or five o'clock in the afternoon of April 17, the mighty Qing army crossed the Baihe River from the pontoon bridge.
Dolgon rode his horse and stood a few miles away from the river on the Hunu Mountain, looking at the city of Shunyi on the opposite side, seeing that the county seat was not large, and the city was about four miles around, at this time the thieves in the city could not shrink out, and only watched their army cross the river.
Earlier, the sentinels came to report that when the advance of the army arrived, there had been a team of thieves and horses out of the city, as if they wanted to burn the pontoon bridge, but they were narrowly and dangerously repelled by the troops led by Ge Bush Xianying, Niu Lu Zhang, Jingsol and No, which made Dolgon break out in a cold sweat.
Although Sol and Nuo and others reported that there seemed to be a pontoon bridge on the twenty-mile river channel at the upper source of the Bai River, leading to the Caohe camp at the foot of Niulan Mountain on the opposite side. However, there is a bridge directly opposite the city, and it is two completely different concepts from a detour of 20 miles to cross the White River and walk another 20 miles to the edge of the city.
It was very hard to build a bridge, especially a bridge that could cross thousands of pounds of heavy artillery, but fortunately, everything went smoothly when the army came.
He looked at the Shunyi City on the opposite side, the return of the sentry cavalry, the Jingbian army captured Changping City yesterday, but they did not capture the Shunyi City seventy miles away, nor did they capture the Huairou City that was also seventy miles away, it seems that they do not want to disperse their forces.
"Don't ask for it."
Dolgon had a smile on his face, and so far, so good.
At this time, the sentry cavalry came to report that the thieves of Shunyi City had left the city and surrendered Liu Liangzuo.
The smile on Dolgon's face widened. (To be continued.) )
