The battle of the Daling River is a big reversal of the military comparison of the Ming and Qing dynasties, after the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners conquered the Daling River, they have initially had the strength to attack the strong city of Xiongguan in the Ming State, and Azig also participated in this battle, and naturally has its own methods for how to attack Jinzhou......

During the change of Jisi, the Tartars slaughtered a lot of conquered cities, and many Ming troops understood that even if the city surrendered, it was a dead end, so many besieged cities refused to surrender again, and Yang Bo's troops in Jinzhou won three battles and three victories, and the morale was high, and it was unlikely that they would surrender, and Azig had no other ideas about this, so he began to besiege the city wholeheartedly.

At the beginning of this day, the Azig army not only drove the Han people to fill the trenches, but also the other infantry armor also went into battle, and re-excavated three trenches in the north of Jinzhou, and some of the excavated soil was used to fill the trenches dug by the Jinzhou defenders who hindered the movement of the army, and some of the soil was all piled together to form small soil bags.

Countless ragged Ming people were escorted out by the guards of the Tartars, they were full of numbness, men, women and children were unclothed in this weather, but the stumbling followers escorted the Tartars to walk, if someone was unsteady, there would be Tartars unceremoniously rushed forward and whipped with a leather whip, heard the miserable cries under the city, and the triumphant laughter of the Tartars, seeing this scene, even the most hard-hearted people in the city could not help but burst into tears, and the Liaodong soldiers were even more angry and could not be suppressed, they were all red-eyedIt is better to stand helplessly at the head of the city and watch the humiliation of the compatriots, especially the kind of prayer that the eyes of the people look at the head of the city.

Although the soldiers at the bottom are eager to fight. But the commanders at all levels knew that this was not a wise choice, so they suppressed these requests and did not dare to embarrass the adults.

It's been a busy day outside the city today. But there was no siege move, everyone was frowning, the most feared situation appeared, the previous plan of the Thunder Brigade was to lure the Tartars to attack the city on a large scale, and kill and injure a large number of Tartar elite infantry armor in the offensive and defensive battles, so as to prepare for the later annihilation battle out of the city, but I didn't expect that the twelve Bel Azig, who had always been domineering and irritable, had no interest in attacking the city at all. There was not even a single tentative attack, but the posture of a long-term siege was put on, and the actions of the Tartars made everyone a little depressed. There was nothing they could do but watch.

In order to cultivate their military qualities, military meetings are held regularly, except for their own wars. He also often asked the staff department to collect the Tang newspaper of the imperial court and read it out in public. Then take turns to express their own opinions, summarize the experience, the battle of Da Ling River has been explained the most, but seeing that Jinzhou has become a copy of Da Ling River again, how can everyone not be secretly anxious?

Yang Bo had been busy for a day, and when he came to the city to inspect, he was taken aback, and the city had become a huge construction site, although it was only a few days. But the Tartars' intentions had already been outlined, and three trenches would be dug a mile below the city of Jinzhou. Look at the posture of each trench at least three meters, three trenches tightly around Jinzhou City, outside the trench is the camp tent of the white flag army, at a glance stretches for several miles, outside the trench barrier is also ready to build a soil city, look at the posture of the slave chief, it is estimated that the earthen city is going to be built on a level with Jinzhou City, all kinds of flags on the construction site are fluttering in the wind, Tartar infantry armor and clothing auxiliaries, and countless Liaodong people walking in it, this scene makes Yang Bo very puzzled, is this a time to the battlefield of World War II?

In addition to the busy infantry armor, the cavalry of the Tatar slaves was not idle, and they poured out of the nest early this morning, galloping towards Lushun and Nanguan, it is estimated that they were going to reconnoiter the movements of these two cities, and by the way, they cleared some threatening Duntai Tunbao, seeing this scene, Yang Bo couldn't help but laugh dumbly, Azig really looked up to himself, and the treatment enjoyed by Jinzhou was not much worse than that of Daling River?

On the fifth day of the siege of Jinzhou, Yang Bo held the first military meeting......

As the dictator of this team, Yang Bo has always been the last to speak, and everyone looked at Wang Xiaoyu of the General Staff Department, wanting to hear if the General Staff Department had any good plans.

"The General Staff Division has three strategies for your reference!" Wang Xiaoyu really didn't disappoint everyone, and said slowly.

"It's just that these three strategies are not very perfect, and I personally don't agree with it" Wang Xiaoyu stammered and glanced at Yang Bo again.

Seeing Wang Xiaoyu's embarrassed appearance, Yang Bo nodded slightly and encouraged: "It's okay, if it's not perfect, it's not perfect, isn't it good to say it and discuss it together?" ”

Encouraged by the adults, Wang Xiaoyu calmed down before continuing: "The best policy formulated by the General Staff Department is to abandon Jinzhou and break through to Lushun to hold on!" ”

As soon as Wang Xiaoyu's words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and they came here with great difficulty, but they didn't expect the staff department to give the best strategy of abandoning Jinzhou!

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Hu Mazi slammed the table and stood up, pointed at Wang Xiaoyu and scolded: "Fart!" Fuck your fart! How stupid it would take for a stupid person to come up with a plan to abandon the Golden State, and it would be a good policy, Lao Tzu ...... grass"

"Hu Mazi, are you a decoration when I am the Military Discipline Division?" Zhang Shixiong interrupted Hu Mazi's roar with a dark face.

Hu Mazi looked at Yang Bo, stiffened his neck and retorted: "The military discussion and the military discussion, a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, this is what the adult said, the speaker is not guilty, why should your military discipline department treat my crime?" ”

Zhang Shixiong was furious, stood up and pointed at Hu Mazi and said, "If you have something to say, you can't fart and scold people, what?" Roaring venue can't cure you, no? ”

Yang Bo coldly swept over everyone, and the tense people felt a chill in their hearts, and sat down, and the atmosphere in the venue became silent.

"If you have anything to say, if you have any opinions to mention, then you have to wait for others to finish speaking, Hu Mazi, next time you make a mistake, I will let you go to the confinement room to scold for three days, and then come out after scolding!"

Yang Bo glared at Hu Mazi fiercely, turned his head to Wang Xiaoyu, who was full of embarrassment, and said, "You go on." ”

Wang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "Our plan was wrong before, that is, we didn't expect the Tartars' determination to be so great, and we want to get rid of it quickly, and now the slave chieftain seems to be preparing to besiege Jinzhou for a long time, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Daling River." Therefore, the best policy of the staff department is to make a decision immediately and retreat to Lushun first. to figure out the counterattack behind. ”

Hu Mazi was about to refute, Li vigorously pulled him, stood up and said: "What your staff said lightly, just one withdrawal is over?" Is that the best policy? How to withdraw? Do you want the artillery team? Do you want logistics? How to withdraw under the eyes of the Tatar army? After sacrificing which battalion is broken? What should we do if the Tartars drag us with cavalry? ”

Everyone was whispering, and the battalion commanders reacted the most violently, and it was obvious that the plan drawn up by the staff division did not take into account the actual situation at all.

Wang Xiaoyu waited for everyone's anger to subside and then said, "Of course, I know that this plan is quite hasty. But at present, we are in a dangerous situation, and if we can't make a decision immediately, we will sit back and wait for the Golden State to die. The Thunder Brigade is not a Guanning military horse that consumes six million a year, and the imperial court will not send a single soldier to rescue us, we can only rely on ourselves! Once the moat outside the city is built, we won't be able to get out. Have you thought about the consequences? In a dozen days. The weather will be even colder, after the ice is solid, the Fuzhou Dolgon Department can attack Jinzhou at any time, and the Nu Chief Yue Tuo Department has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Xiuyan, which is only two or three days away from Jinzhou. ”

Seeing the silence of the crowd. Wang Xiaoyu said again: "Once Jinzhou is lost, Nanguan and Lushun will not be able to defend it. Therefore, if you don't take the opportunity to make a decision now, the situation will deteriorate day by day, and eventually it will be out of control. ”

Zhao Long was silent for a moment and nodded: "My lord, at present, we have only prepared food for ten days, and now we have more horse meat, and we don't support it for ten days, but what about those war horses?" In addition to forage, each horse needs a pound of bean feed every day, and if you don't eat bean feed, the horse will lose weight, this ......"

Seeing that everyone was helpless, Yang Bo suddenly laughed: "What's the matter, everyone is scared?" Don't worry, the situation hasn't collapsed yet, Xiao Yu, you go on, I'm curious, what is the middle and bottom strategy? ”

Wang Xiaoyu nodded at Yang Bo, cleared his throat and said: "The current plan is only for the situation of the battle, and it has not yet been implemented to the stage of refinement. ”

"The middle strategy is to turn the passive into the active, the Tartars do not fight, we take the initiative to go out of the city to provoke, my Thunder Brigade leans on the city to fight, while wantonly destroying the Tartar fortifications, with the cover of the city's artillery, forming a large circle formation, this plan is most afraid of two points, one is that the Tartars and I fight to the death, no matter how we win or lose, my Thunder Brigade will definitely suffer heavy casualties in the end, and after a long time, it will finally become a situation where I am unable to get out of the city, and the second is that I am afraid that the Tartars will see through our plan, and will not fight to the death with me, only send some sentry cavalry to fight to the death, and the Thunder Brigade will not dare to go too far from the city, In the end, it is unthinkable. ”

"There is no need to elaborate on the next strategy, that is, to defend the city and wait for it to change......"

After Wang Xiaoyu finished speaking, he nodded to everyone and said: "The plan of the General Staff Division is like this, please refer to it, but what I want to say is that although the Thunder Brigade firearms are strong, the military discipline is strict, the morale is high, and it has won a hundred battles, but, but our only shortcoming is that the foundation is too thin and cannot withstand too much consumption, this is the most difficult situation we are currently encountering, where to go, please advise." ”

There was a lot of talk among the people, who had only broken the three thousand iron horsemen of the Tartars a few days ago, but now they were suddenly discussing the rout, and they were emotionally unable to accept this harsh change for a while.

Smack!

Yang Bo saw that everyone was silent, so he laughed and stood up while clapping his hands: "Xiao Yu, the staff department is good, and it is enough to formulate these three strategies to deal with the general situation."

Wang Xiaoyu's face was flushed: "My lord, Xiao Yu is ashamed ......"

Yang Bo nodded, picked up the whip and knocked it on the table, before he said slowly: "The three strategies of the General Staff Department are good, but I always say that the war should not be limited to the gains and losses of one city and one place, but should take a long-term view and consider it at the strategic level, so that the horizons will be broadened, so what is the mistake of the General Staff?" You only put your eyes on our difficult places, and magnified this difficulty, the defeat of the Great Ling River has left a shadow in your hearts, and even your self-confidence has been affected, have you ever considered the idea of the Tarslaves? Have you ever considered the Slave Chieftain's move to lay siege to the city, and what his purpose was......"

“…… The weather is so cold, the ground is frozen like iron, and the spear can only be half-inserted into the ground, and now please come and tell me, the Tartars dig trenches. How long does it take to dig? The circumference of Jinzhou City is six miles, the city wall is three feet and five feet high, and the city is one and seven feet deep. It is six feet wide and five feet, with four city gates in the southeast and northwest, and it is an important town in southern Liaoning, how many people will it take to complete the planned project outside? Yang Bo asked sharply

Everyone looked at each other, but the difference was that the people in the staff department were flushed, and the commanders of each battalion were happy.

"My lord, Chief Mo Feinu made this scene just for show. Is it for us to see? Hu Mazi asked in surprise.

Yang Bo ignored him and said to himself: "As soon as I saw the Tartars digging trenches, I lost all confidence, and I felt that the end of the world had arrived?" Our Thunder Brigade is not a shrunken turtle. Isn't it? ”

In the end, Yang Bo's tone was already very loud, even close to roaring.

"Tell me out loud, what is the Thunder Brigade?" Yang Bo looked around

"No. 1 in the world!"

"No. 1 in the world!"

"Win all battles!"

Battalion commanders were infected. They all shouted in unison.

Yang Bo raised his hands in vain. said: "Yes, we are not Guanning military horses, I have told you countless times, in the face of the Tartar trap, what is the way to crack it?" Field! Get out of town and fight them in the field! As long as we have the courage to fight in the field, no amount of Tatar soldiers and horses can trap us! ”

"Now, Wang Xiaoyu, you come and tell me. How many soldiers and horses are there outside the city, and which part of the soldiers and horses are they? Yang Bo suddenly pointed at the silent Wang Xiaoyu

"It's a white flag. More than 18,000, led by the slave chieftains, the twelve slave chiefs Bel Azig" Wang Xiaoyu stammered back.

"Not bad"

Yang Bo nodded, waved his hand and motioned for Wang Xiaoyu to sit down and said: "The fifteen Niu Lu of Azig are all here, and more than 1,000 elite vests were folded a few days ago, including four hundred Bayal Battalion, I want to ask everyone, how many of the fifteen Niu Lu of Zhengbai Flag will be killed or injured in a desperate battle?" You tell me the approximate number."

The crowd whispered for a while, and began to ramble on the predicted number of kills

"Eight thousand are inseparable from ......"

Xiucai said with a deep groan.

"Ten thousand is the least! Our artillery is not vegetarian! ”

Lu Ruohan hesitated a little, and finally reported the quantity.

"Eighteen thousand!"

Hu Mazi said loudly, but his arrogant words were quickly despised by everyone.

Yang Bo nodded: "We have nearly 6,000 soldiers and horses, desperate and bloody battles, we can fight at least ten Niu Lu in the white flag, I told you before I set off, this battle is a small fight to the big, except for the dare to fight, regardless of casualties in the decisive battle do not have any luck ideas, you are afraid to forget, right?" People always have to face the test of giving and taking, and there is giving to gain, look at your timid look! What can't be discarded? After running out of the Thunder Brigade, I can pull out another Thunder Brigade in three months, the question is what to do with Azig? The loss of ten cattle is not the white flag of Azig disabled? Even if he wants to rebuild, where will he go to gather the vests? White-armored soldiers? He Azig was originally a thorn in the side of Huang Taiji, and now that he has exhausted the elite in the flag, will he Azig lick Huang Taiji's asshole and beg for his life in the future? ”

Yang Bo looked around at everyone and continued: "I was hesitant before, wanting to find a way for both sides to step down with dignity, but seeing the corpses of those Dongjiang people outside, my mind changed! We have the ability to rescue these people, but no one has come up with the idea of rescuing them, no one has proposed a plan to save these people, and to be honest, I am very disappointed in you......"

Hu Mazi suddenly stood up and said loudly: "My lord, I mentioned it, I mentioned it in the city that day." ”

Yang Bo glared at him: "You don't have to rush to show your merits, my ears are not deaf, if it weren't for the sake of that sentence, you would be unable to eat and go around for the sake of insulting your colleagues with today's roaring military meeting, sit down!" ”

Although Hu Mazi was scolded bloody, he sat down with a smile on his face, and there was a faint sense of self-satisfaction between his expectations.

Yang Bo looked at these people with their heads bowed, and said loudly: "You are all the commanders of the Mighty Shock side in the Thunder Brigade, and all of you have heavy troops, but you must remember what I said today, when you have the ability to stop evil but do not stop it, you are committing a crime, a crime against yourself!" When you are old, you will be tormented by your conscience day and night, yes, you can find countless excuses, countless reasons to forgive yourself, but I will not forgive you, and your conscience will not forgive you......"

“…… On October 27 of the second year of Chongzhen, the Tartar slaves entered the customs in a big way, and returned to the east on May 11 of the third year of Chongzhen, which lasted seven months, and even trapped more than 30 cities such as Zunhua, Yongping, Jizhou, etc., and slaughtered the four cities of Yongping, this is the familiar self-rebellion, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners, looted near my Ming Jingshi, and plundered 369,823 people of my Ming Dynasty! There are a total of 321,000 camels, horses, mules, oxen, donkeys and sheep, and the slave chief who leads the troops is this Azig outside our Golden State City, and there is also a man called Abatai! ”

“…… They put the robbed Han women with heavy makeup, put them naked on the car, beat gongs and drums, regarded as triumphant, and held high the wooden cards that were exempted from being sent by various officials. They only dared to watch the Tartar slaves take countless Han people of the Ming Dynasty to Liaodong as slaves and make clothes! They all have countless high-sounding excuses, they all have countless small abacus, and they all have countless reasons to be sympathetic! It's pretty much the same as you've said, but I'm going to ask you, if we can't protect the people, what are we doing with our soldiers and horses? What do I want you to do? ”

“…… How arrogant is the slave chief? He played the signboard of "all officials are exempted" to humiliate my Ming generals! Will you be ashamed to hear this? Where is your blood? Do you want to learn from these generals? Although they stood and watched the Tarslavs leave, at this moment they were kneeling, mentally kneeling! Do you want to kneel on the ground and watch the Tartars slaughter my Han people? Are your horses and soldiers for decoration? Is it used as a bargaining chip for promotion and knighthood? ”

Yang Bo slapped the table heavily and asked with a roar, "Say?" Tell me, isn't it? Tell me one by one, won't you? ”

There was silence in the venue, many people lowered their heads in shame, their faces were flushed and they didn't dare to speak, Yang Bo's words pierced their hearts like needles.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yang Bo said slowly: "Now I will give the order......

All the people stood up, but their heads were still bowed.

“…… Three days later, the Thunder Brigade went out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Tarnus, and asked his soldiers to write another suicide note, telling them that Yang would also personally go into battle to kill the enemy, tell them, why do we do this, and finally, ask them if it is worth it for us to do this, and let them write the answer into their own suicide note! If they can't answer, let their children and grandchildren answer for them! Wang Xiaoyu, you have to hurry up and formulate a detailed plan to rescue the people, just like that, go and prepare, and dismiss the meeting! (To be continued......)
