Hao Nan knew that the battle with Huang Taiji was unavoidable, so he had to go all out.

"Adults don't know what to expect"

Di Haonan glanced at Feng Shaoyan, thought for a while and said, "The Emperor Taiji army has poured out, and 60,000 of the 160,000 army have been eaten. Under this long term, our army has 20,000 heavy cavalry, 20,000 musketeers of the Marine Corps, 10,000 cavalry artillerymen, 50,000 horses and horses of the recruit reserve, plus 30,000 Mongolian troops who surrendered, and the front-line combat troops of our army can reach 130,000 troops. ”

Feng Shaoyan nodded and said: "Huang Taiji's 100,000 elites are directly attacking the Yalu River, so the troops on the western and southern fronts are empty, and our army has 10,000 musketeers of the 2nd Marine Division, 50,000 recruit reserves, 300 field artillery, and more than 10,000 Mongolian war horses in the equestrian training base. ”

Na Haonan thought for a while, and said worriedly: "It's just that the recruits haven't experienced a big war, once Huang Taiji returns to the division, the loss will be great!" ”

Feng Shaoyan smiled and said, "Have you forgotten the Far Eastern Military Academy?" There are a lot of instructors and students who have come down from the front line, let them command, as long as they work steadily, there should be no problem! ”

Di Haonan nodded and said, "There is no problem with commanding!" It's just that in this way, it is equivalent to having to fight with Huang Taiji! In that case, the Liaodong dispatch army must contain Huang Taiji's 100,000 troops! ”

Feng Shaoyan said: "With the current strength of the dispatch army, it is somewhat difficult for 20,000 heavy cavalry to contain 100,000 Jurchen elites, but if 30,000 Mongolian cavalry can help cooperate, there should be no problem." ”

Na Haonan sighed: "Having said that, do you know why I don't want to fight Huang Taiji? ”

"Your Excellency!" Feng Shaoyan bowed his hand and said respectfully: "Please show me!" ”

Na Hao said: "The Jurchens have always been as poisonous as the wind. If they really gave up farming, they would have turned into a formidable guerrilla force. In the vast desert, how many times did you tell me to send an army to find them? ”

Feng Shaoyan suddenly realized and said, "It turns out that the Lord is waiting for Huang Taiji to change his Jurchen tribe from nomadism to farming before making a move?" ”

Na Haonan nodded and said, "Huang Taiji has just started farming, and the life of the Jurchen has just begun to be fixed. In less than three years, the Jurchens will take root in Liaoshen, and when we attack them again, they will fight us to the death because they are reluctant to give up Shenyang. We can destroy the Jurchens in one fell swoop. On the contrary, if we fight a decisive battle with the Jurchens now, if Shenyang is broken, the Jurchens will not hesitate to give up Shenyang and retreat into the desert. This is a very dangerous thing! ”

Feng Shaoyan nodded and said: "With the strength of the Jurchen cavalry, if they retreat to the desert, they will be even more ferocious than Genghis Khan back then, and that will really lead to the unification of the Mongolian desert by Huang Taiji!" ”

"yes!" Deng Haonan sighed: "Once Huang Taiji retreats into the desert, with his ability and military strength, Mongolia will soon be unified, at that time, our entire north is under the threat of Huang Taiji, can the Great Wall rely on our troops?" ”

Di Haonan continued: "Even if we have enough troops!" Even if you have money to defend the Great Wall every day, you will be like the Ming Dynasty, and you will be exhausted by the endless defense of the Great Wall. ”

"Your Excellency is wise!" Feng Shaoyan said with admiration: "Huang Taiji is bent on changing the Jurchen from a horse nation to an agricultural nation, and getting rid of the nomadic life. This is also what he did after he ascended the throne of the Great Khan. It's just that now that the Liaoshen War has broken out, this decisive battle is estimated to affect his established policy. ”

Di Haonan nodded and sighed: "I originally thought that Huang Taiji made a profit, and we also let him suffer a loss."

I didn't expect this rod to go down and stab Huang Taiji in a hurry, and now I have to find a way to clean up the mess. ”

"What do you mean, sir!"

Na Haonan thought for a while and said, "Reply to the General Staff and tell them that they can show off our strength to Huang Taiji, so that he can know the gap and retreat." It is possible to send troops from Jinzhou to recover the Liaoyi Peninsula, but one must be added, and Shenyang must not be captured! ”

※※

Zhenjiang Fort on the banks of the Yalu River, the embattled Gurushi Shibu and others finally chose to surrender. In fact, there was no reason why they would not surrender, because there was a siege of the Liaodong army outside, and a single 10,000 Mongolian cavalry inside, in this case, it was impossible to form a counterattack posture.

That night, Shan sent someone to inform the Liaodong Army of the surrender of the Gurusi Prefecture. After Zhan Zengyong and others discussed, Shen Xiufang and Wang Yuanlong negotiated with Gurusi Shibu on behalf of the Liaodong Army.

The negotiations went smoothly, and with the precedent of Shan Jie and Gengger, Gurushi Shibu and Omu Buchuhuer quickly accepted the favorable conditions offered by the Liaodong Army. In return, like the subordinates of Shan Zhi and Geng Ge, they swore to the Immortal Heaven that they would always be loyal to Deng Haonan.

It's just that Han Junqi has some greetings

The families of the miserable Yangxing, Shi Tingzhu and Ma Guangyuan are all in Shenyang, and unlike the Mongolian cavalry, the Mongols' family Huang Taiji may not move, but if their Han army surrenders, their Han army's family members are estimated to suffer.

Especially for life, he is just a Jurchen who has been sinicized, and his wife is the daughter of the Later Jin Sect, so he has no reason to surrender.

Zhan Zengyong discussed with Du Yongchen and the others, and finally decided to release this group of generals with families in the Han army. Because this group of people with families stayed in the Liaodong Army, it would be a bomb that exploded from time to time, and the threat to the Liaodong Army was quite large.

As a result, among the 20,000 Han army, there were as many as 17,000 people with family members, and in the end, less than 3,000 people chose to surrender to the Liaodong Army.

This number shocked Zhan Zengyong and the others, because the number was too large, once these people were released, they would bring a huge threat to the Liaodong Governor's Mansion. Releasing so many prisoners of war was beyond Zhan Zengyong's authority, so Zhan Zengyong ordered their weapons to be temporarily confiscated and locked up in the barracks. Then he crossed the river overnight and asked Liu Hu, the Minister of the Army, to make a decision.

At dawn, Liu Hu's order arrived.

Zhan Zengyong opened it and saw that the order was to escort the main Jurchen officers such as Yuan Yangxing back to Jinzhou for detention, disrupt the 20,000-strong Jin Han Army, and send it to Taiwan to replace the Taiwan government garrison after reorganization, and then transfer the replaced Taiwan government garrison to Liaodong and expand into the Liaodong army.

The reason why they were not released was that if Huang Taiji did something to their families, then the 20,000 Han troops would be immediately transferred back to Liaodong and use their hatred against Huang Taiji. If Huang Taiji did not do anything to their families, then the 20,000 Han troops would have been guarding the Taiwan government until Huang Taiji was destroyed.

Shen Xiufang took the order and read it. sighed: "It's still the military department's method is high!" ”

Everyone nodded yes, and then organized manpower to settle the surrendered soldiers. Minister Liu Hu has arranged for transport ships to transport the surrendered soldiers on the east bank of the Yalu River. Due to the large number of opponents, as high as 50,000 horses, the warships could not be transported for a while.

Therefore, the sappers on both sides of the river immediately built a pontoon bridge over the Yalu River, allowing the Korean and Mongolian servant armies to cross the river.

※※

At the same time that the Liaodong Army accepted the surrender of the Mongol army, Huang Taiji's army had already arrived at the Wuchong River, which was fifty miles away from Zhenjiang Fort on the Yalu River.

Due to the rush of 100,000 troops, the scale was huge, in order not to give the Liaodong army too early information. Huang Taiji chose to make a detour, avoiding the official road and returning to the lower reaches of the Yalu River, preparing to counterattack.

The reason why Huang Taiji arranged this way was because he thought that 40,000 Mongolian cavalry and 20,000 Han troops could hold out with the enemy. months, so he is not in a hurry.

However, when his army passed through the dangerous mountain fort and learned the news that 20,000 Mongolian troops had been surrounded and surrendered from the local hunters, Huang Taiji suddenly felt that the situation was not good, so he no longer marched around the corner, and the whole army hurried to Zhenjiang Fort.

In this way, the rapid advance of the 100,000-strong army was quite large, and the sentry cavalry of the Liaodong Army finally discovered the other party and quickly returned to report.

However, Huang Taiji had already sent elite light cavalry in the vanguard, and the speed was extremely fast.

If the sentinel cavalry of the Liaodong Army went back to report the information of Jing like this, then when the Liaodong Army learned about it, it would not have time to react at all. Fortunately, the Liaodong Army had long prevented this situation. In the event of an emergency, the Sentinel will fire the flare it carrys.

The so-called signal flare is not the kind of gun-fired signal flare of later generations, but just hand-placed firecracker firecrackers. It's just that the salute was mixed with pigments such as potassium perchlorate and rose essence, so that after the firecrackers exploded, they flew out a cloud of red smoke. The reason why red is used is because it travels a long distance, especially at night. Meantime. Red also represents the highest alert level.

The sentry cavalry of the Liaodong Army saw the Jurchen cavalry frantically pursuing, and knew that the situation was extremely urgent, so they had no choice but to fire warning firecrackers.

With a snorting whistle, the early warning firecracker pulled out a long white smoke and shot straight into the sky. Immediately after a crisp bang, the firecrackers burst into a fiery red firework in the sky, which suddenly broke the tranquility over the Liaodong Plain.

"Damn it!"

The vanguard officer of the Houjin Cavalry who was frantically pursuing was none other than Amin. After he saw the red fireworks fired by the cavalry of the Liaodong Army in front of him, he immediately understood that he had warned the base camp of the Liaodong Army.

Bang bang bang!

Not long after the Liaodong Army sentry cavalry fired the red signal flare, several more red signal flares rose outside the front. These flares were all about a mile apart, and one after another shot into the air, and suddenly bloomed red wreaths.

Improved beacon!

Yes!

The Liaodong Army relied on this to deliver the alarm!

As one after another warning flowers rose into the air and bloomed, the siren suddenly sounded in the camp of the Liaodong Army, which was twenty miles away. Report!

With a long shout, a soldier hurriedly ran to Zhan Zengyong and the others.

"Report to the General! Red alert for the southwest! It was preliminarily judged that the cavalry brigade was coming".

"Got it!" Zhan Zengyong and the others had already seen the red alert coming from afar, so they said: "Order the whole army to assemble urgently!"

"Yes!"

Shen Xiufang stepped forward and asked, "Are there any other cavalry around here?" ”

"I'm afraid there is no one else except Huang Taiji."

There was a voice behind him, Zhan Zengyong and Shen Xiufang turned around and saw Du Yongchen and Wang Yuanji arriving on horseback.

"This is just getting information!"

Du Yongchen handed the information to Zhan Zengyong, and it turned out that the General Staff learned that the Huang Taiji army had neither the western expedition to Mongolia nor the southern expedition to Jinzhou, nor the southern expedition to Jinzhou, nor the return to Shenyang's old nest, so it was judged that the Imperial Taiji army might raid the Liaodong Dispatch Army.

"It's a good time!"

Zhan Zengyong and Shen Xiufang glanced at each other, and they both smiled helplessly.

"This is still a flying pigeon!" Du Yongchen said with a smile: "If it is eight hundred miles in an emergency, the cucumber vegetables will be cold!" ”

No way, who makes the message too slow!

"Good fellows! 100,000 troops! , Xiao Shen Xiufang chirped and said, "This is playing with us!" ”

"It stands to reason that we should avoid Enemy One! , Zhan Zengyong sighed! "It's a pity that the emperor's great army is praying. Type. Down from the right distance, less than two hours to arrive! ”

Shen Xiufang said: "What's the matter." In the hour, the sappers were just able to finish the pontoon bridge, but the overload capacity of the pontoon bridge was limited, and we were not yet halfway through before we were attacked by the enemy's cavalry

Then there is only a fight!

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they all feel the solemnity of the air.

On the other side of the river, Liu Hu had already learned of the alarm on the other side. The attack of 100,000 Jurchen elites is not a joke, there are only 20,000 heavy cavalry on the other side, and it is a matter of two words whether they can resist it. The loyalty of the 30,000 Mongol cavalry was even more flattering, and the worst needed to be prepared.

"Cavalry artillerymen don't cross the river! small

Liu Hu ordered to stop the cavalry artillery crossing the river, and at the same time called Xie Yi and ordered him to bring 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Marine Division over. Prepare infantry to fight with cavalry and build support for heavy cavalry. At the same time, he also ordered the river defense fleet to line up on the riverside and provide naval artillery fire support to its own side with maximum artillery fire.

The Marine Division easily crossed the river, and only a few transport ships were needed to make two trips to send 10,000 officers and men of the Marine Division to the other side of the river.

The sappers continued to build pontoon bridges in an intense and orderly manner, and the cavalry artillery positions were moved to the riverside, so that the artillery positions could not be lost with the support of naval artillery fire. Two artillery positions were arranged on the north and south heights, and 200 field guns were arranged in each position, relying on the favorable highland terrain, arranged in echelons to ensure that each fire salvo could reach 50 guns at the same time.

The Marine Division is also divided into two parts. sections, near two artillery positions in the north and south, respectively. The infantry phalanx is a classic Spanish land battle formation, with a large formation of 5,000 people arranged in a rectangle. Enclose the artillery positions in an arc. The officers and men of the Marine Division were divided into five groups of 1,000 men each, and three rounds of fire were carried out, with the last two platoons in reserve.

The 1st Heavy Cavalry Division was in the northern position, and the 1st and 2nd Brigades were on the left and right sides of the infantry position, forming a pair of crab pincer attack formations. The 2nd Heavy Cavalry Division was located in the south, and the distribution of troops was the same, with the 3rd and 4th Brigades guarding the 2nd Brigade of the Marine Division, relying on the 2nd Mounted Artillery Regiment to form an attack formation.

The two positions in the north and south are both small crab defense formations, and on the whole, the two positions have become a huge crab pincer. The 30,000 Mongolian cavalry were arranged in the middle, and they were not asked to fight, but just watched the strong combat power of the Liaodong army.

The Mongolian cavalry is in the mouth of the big crab of the Liaodong Army, as long as they have a slight change, the artillery positions on both sides will sink them together, after all, the Mongolian cavalry is under the crossfire of the artillery positions on both sides, and there is the river defense fleet behind them, the distance is so close, not afraid of their small movements.

Behind the Mongol army was a pontoon bridge being erected by engineers, and the Korean servant army was watching the battle from the city of Uiju on the opposite bank.

Gulus, Ombu Chuhuer, Shan Zhi and Geng Ge stood on their horses, and the four of them looked at the Liaodong Army for a while, and then they looked at each other, and they didn't quite understand each other's intentions.

"You won't let us go to war."

Omubu Chuhuer first raised his question, waved his hand and said: "General Zhan said just now, we don't need to fight, just let us watch how they fight Huang Taiji cries and calls his mother."

Geng Ge said with some fear: "I see that the Liaodong army is only more than 30,000 people, even if there are hundreds of cannons, but this is a plain, there is no strong city, how can they stop Huang Taiji's 100,000 army?" ”

Omubu Chuhuer nodded and said, "That is, the 100,000 troops of Huang Taiji are all Jurchen elites!" ”

Gurushab asked impatiently, "What?" Are you scared? Or do you regret it?.

"I regret it a little!" Omu Buchuhuer nodded and said: "This has just surrendered to the Liaodong Army, and it has met the main force of Huang Taiji, so let's just hold on all night!" ”

"You're not trying to fight back, are you?"

Shan and Geng Ge looked at Omu Buchuhuer, who thought for a moment and said, "Is this obviously about to lose?" But I've already sworn to Changshengtian, I won't do it against water, but I can't beat Huang Taiji! It's a big deal to see that the Liaodong Army can't stand it for a while, so I take the opportunity to lead the army to slip away, let's sneak back to the Mongolian desert, so it doesn't mean to violate the oath."

"Am I not right? small

The other three all rolled their eyes, and suddenly cast a look of contempt.

"It's good that you didn't break your oath!" If you break your oath, even if you flee back to the Mongolian desert in the future, do you still have the face to be the leader of your people? ”

Omubu Chuhuer pursed his lips and did not gnaw.

Gurus Habu continued: "Don't think about that yet? The Liaodong Army is not a fool? Isn't it to prevent you from turning against the water? If you look around, we are all under the cover of their artillery fire, and at the slightest movement, the shells will fly in immediately. Omubu Chuhuer looked at both sides of the face, and sure enough, he saw the doorway, and immediately took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

"So what are we going to do?"

Gulus Shibu smiled faintly and said, "20,000 heavy cavalry is enough to resist 50,000 light cavalry, and with the cooperation of infantry and artillery, it can completely block Huang Taiji's 100,000 army." Let's watch without moving, I think it's a test of our sincerity. Everyone looked, Huang Taiji's first wave of attack was unprecedented, as long as the Liaodong Army could block Huang Taiji's first wave of attack, it meant that they were at least invincible in this battle. Then it's time for us to show our sincerity right away. ”

Omu Buchuhuer, Shan Handle and Geng Ge glanced at each other, and they all nodded in agreement. If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the chapter for more, support for D
