Chapter 412: Firm Flat Push

In the afternoon, just as Li Yongfang was thinking about how to hold the battle in the afternoon, the earth suddenly shook suddenly, and the city wall jumped up. Li Yongfang, who was at the head of the city, flew up directly. Li Yongfang had no idea how high he flew, the only thing he could do was to look around him, and several of his pro-soldiers also flew. A green brick smashed Li Yongfang's face, his head turned black, he lost consciousness, and the last thought was, it's over!

The power of 500 kilograms of maroon explosives and ammunition was enormous, and the city wall was blown down nearly 300 meters. A section of the city wall flew up three meters high, and almost none of the thousands of Qing troops near the bombing site survived. When the raindrops fell to the ground, and before the smoke and dust dissipated, a red flag was raised high, and the Dengzhou battalion with bayonets crossed the trench and rushed to the gap.

The battle of Haizhou, but on the fourth day, the Dengzhou battalion conquered Haizhou, and the traitor Li Yongfang was killed in the explosion. On this day, Wang Ben on the left flank divided his troops to attack, and all the surrounding forts were conquered. More than 3,000 Qing troops were killed and more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians were captured. On the right flank, the Qing army in Ximucheng left without a fight, and there was no sign of Qing army activities in the entire Haizhou periphery.

In the winter of October, the governor Hong Chengchou broke his own in the southern plains of Tongguan. After the defeat of Taozhou, in addition to the six teams that became their own relatives, the mixed stars and the stars of the sky were successively lowered. Cheng Chou Du will run to Tongguan, and Sun Chuanting set up a plan, set up three in the south of Tongguan, set up a battalion every fifty miles, and make the chief soldier Cao Bianjiao chase after him. Since the formation of the army to the southern plain of Tongguan, it has risen up, the army has been defeated, and there have been countless casualties. Zicheng was seriously injured, his wife, daughter, and baggage were lost, and he only broke through with Liu Zongmin and other seven horsemen, hiding in Shang and Luoshan.

Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, who completed this victory. Through the south of the river to the north of the Qinwang. But it walks very slowly, so to speak, turtle speed. After this war, Li Zicheng's rebellion entered the lowest stage.

Compared with the turtle speed of Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, Chen Xie's actions are at a normal speed. On November 1st, departing from Texas. The total strength is 50 new Shandong infantry teams and 24 cavalry brigades. With the addition of baggage troops, the total number is more than 30,000.

"The Qing army moved to An, Fengrun, and met in the west of the Nengzhou River, and went around the Ming Jingshi from the north to Zhuozhou. However, the troops were divided into eight routes, and the troops marched together. "The heralds don't have good news. Chen Xie, who was on horseback, frowned and did not speak. Sun Lin, who accompanied him, said: "Zhongcheng." Why didn't our army go north, but to the southwest? A letter from the Ministry of War asked our army to guard against the Qing army's invasion of Shandong through Dezhou. ”

Chen Xie smiled when he heard this, and said crookedly: "You really think that someone can strategize." Thousands of miles away? Isn't that a joke? Yang Sichang will fight. Sows will go up trees. Go ask about it. Where are the troops? ”

Sun Lin rode forward and soon came back to report: "Report ahead, it's almost Qinghe." It's okay to camp outside the city before dark. ”

Tatata, a fast horse arrived, the soldiers on horseback rolled off their horses, were helped up by two guards, and came to Chen Xie. The herald had a red armband tied around his arm, Chen Xie was slightly moved, and stepped forward immediately: "What's the news?" ”

"The report, the 100,000 sent by the chief of staff of the Soviet Union was urgent, and Chang Shiren, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong camp of the Dengzhou battalion, reported that on November 1, our army conquered Haizhou, and Li Yongfang was killed. Seven thousand enemies were killed, more than 12,000 were taken prisoner, and about 5,000 people in the city were captured. "The herald is very familiar with it, this level of information will not be recorded on paper, and it is all memorized and set off.

"Why are you alone?" Chen Xie's face was slightly calm, and the herald stood up and said: "There is another brother, thirty miles away, the horse is not good." Chen Xie said coldly to Sun Lin: "Record, the garrison of Wucheng is stupid and incompetent, and it almost delayed the situation of 100,000 urgent troops, and sent someone to investigate it thoroughly." After Sun Lin finished recording, he immediately handed it over to the staff officers around him and sent back to Jinan by a special herald.

Naturally, someone else would take care of it, and Chen Xie followed the team to continue on the road. At night, when camping outside Qinghe County, the county commander in the city came to visit and sent some wine and meat to the labor army. Chen Xie invited him to sit down and asked about the surrounding situation. This Liu County ordered: "This year's drought, if the people didn't run to Shandong, maybe there would really be chaos." Zhongcheng didn't go to be left, how did he get to Qinghe? (Qinghe County of the Ming Dynasty returned to the North Zhili Zhending Mansion)"

"The purpose of the Qing army is to rob, and the surrounding areas of North Zhili have long been robbed, so they can only go deep into the south. Baoding Mansion and Zhending Mansion are the main robbery targets of Dolgon, maybe he still wants to go to Shandong for a turn. ”

Liu Xianling disagreed, after all, everyone knew that if you want to go to Shandong, it is best to take the road from Beizhili to Dezhou, and there is also a canal as a mode of transportation. How can anyone give up the easy?

There was no expected street fighting in Haizhou, and the last time Chen Xie came, it was burned too hard. The current buildings in the castle are mainly wooden sheds and other buildings. The people in the city, most of whom were Han people, had little resistance to the Dengzhou camp. Moreover, the population of Haizhou has never recovered, and now there are only about 5,000 people, most of whom are the families of soldiers.

Chang Shiren didn't rest much, and a day later, he went north. This time, the troops were divided into two routes, Wang Ben went north along the Liao River, and Chang Shiren led the main force to take the official road and kill to Anshan. On November 6, Wang Ben conquered Dongsheng Fort, on the 10th, Changning Fort was taken, and on the 12th, Changding Fort was also conquered. More than 3,000 people were beheaded before and after, and 20,000 people were robbed. It effectively ensured the safety of the main flank.

Anshan Station is just a small town, and the Qing army left without a fight and retreated to Liaoyang. The speed of the Dengzhou battalion was too fast, and the Qing army's reaction could be described as sluggish. On November 17, Chang Shiren led his troops to 30 miles outside Liaoyang City. At this time, the outside of the city was still desperately digging trenches and repairing fences. Although this move failed in Haizhou, the Qing army did not have many choices to make now.

In Shenyang, Huang Taiji discussed with the ministers, although his face was very indifferent, in fact, there was panic in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the Dengzhou camp is menacing, you might as well hunt in the north. The ministers swore to defend Shengjing to the death and not fall into the hands of the enemy. "It was Fan Wencheng who persuaded him, if he had spoken like this before, Dai Shan and others would have reprimanded him a long time ago. But this time it was different, Dolgon and Duoduo were outside with 100,000 Qing troops, although the Qing army in Liaoyang was no less than 50,000, plus the soldiers and civilians who were temporarily put together, there were still 50,000 soldiers to fight in Shenyang. Huang Taiji knew very well in his heart that these people were really afraid, and in order to defend Shenyang, children from 50 to 14 years old were arrested. The Manchus said that all the people were soldiers, but in fact, because of the limited population, it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to send too many troops every time. This time, Dolgon and Duoduo really took away 50,000 elite soldiers of the Eight Banners, and the elite left behind said that there were more than 50,000, and they had to guard Shanhaiguan on the one hand, Shenyang on the other, and Liaoyang on the other, and the troops were really tight. This is the reason why Huang Taiji had to hand over Haizhou to Li Yongfang to garrison.

"What? Are you all scared? Huang Taiji could still speak with a calm sneer, and the others lowered their heads and did not speak.

"Zilharang, Shenyang is handed over to you, and I won't go anywhere. This time, Zongmiao was lost to the Dengzhou camp, what face do I have to go to see Taizu? Huang Taiji said it very simply, but in fact, he really had the idea of moving away in his heart. The Dengzhou battalion fought too evilly, unlike the Qing army, which could not move the fortified city, so it went around and grabbed it. The Dengzhou battalion advanced directly and clumsily, and the firmness was outrageous.

According to the original idea, how can one Yaozhou and one Haizhou be able to keep for two months. No matter how bad it is, you have to keep it for a month. It is better for the Dengzhou battalion to bypass the city and advance forward, so that the back road is exposed to the Qing army and can hit its logistical supply lines. As a result, the Dengzhou battalion advanced in two directions, and there was nothing that could not be attacked by the city. Haizhou only guarded for four days.

"Your Majesty, the minister went to Liaoyang to help Da Baylor." Fan Wencheng knelt on the ground, this was the rhythm of begging for death. At this time, he can only do this, otherwise his wife and children will be left alone. He died, and his family had someone to take care of.

"It's okay, you go and give Hauge an idea, he is in a hurry, and he can't help but go out of the city for a decisive battle, you persuade him some." Huang Taiji nodded, and after Fan Wencheng knelt and kowtowed, he turned around and left, and when he turned around, someone naturally sent a will to his family.

"Is there any news over there?" Huang Taiji changed the topic, and Dai Shan stepped forward and said, "It has been reported that it is leading 30,000 cavalry reinforcements." "This is good news, Huang Taiji is actually very clear, this news actually has moisture. How many troops does the Horqin tribe have? Dolgon marched south, Korqin sent 30,000 men, and Chahar sent 20,000 men. The remaining elites of the Horqin tribe are at most more than 10,000, and if there are 30,000, the old and the young will have to fight.

The Liao River meanders north, and the troops marching along the Liao River are like a long dragon. Wang Ben, who was on horseback, took a sip of wine in his mouth, moistened his throat, and then asked the staff officers beside him: "Look at the map, where is this?" ”

"Judging from the map, this is about to reach the yellow mud pool, and it has reached the side of Liaoyang, is it a little slow. In the event of encountering a large force of Qing cavalry, our forces are not very sufficient. "The staff officer's Jian yì is very gentle, but in fact, he is not very afraid, but he feels that there is no need to take the risk.

Wang Ben looked at the map and said, "Occupy the yellow mud valley and rest on the spot." Fifty miles away from the night is on the edge of Korqin. Watch out for a sneak attack by the Mongol cavalry. In this state of marching, we were stopped and stabbed in the waist, which was enough to choke. ”

Huang Niwa is a small town, and when the vanguard arrived, it was already dusk. A battalion launched a quick attack, but was unexpectedly met with stubborn resistance. In fact, the attack of two infantry teams was beaten back, and the losses were constantly too great, only eighteen people.

When Wang Ben arrived, the battalion officer Sun Zheng was scolding his mother: "Shame, shame." Isn't it just a few Tiger Zun cannons? Scared like this. TMD, don't go back and say that you are from the third battalion, Lao Tzu can't afford to lose anyone. ”

Seeing Wang Ben, Sun Zhengcai stopped cursing and reported: "This town is not big, but there are four old-fashioned cannons left from the past in the town. It was too smooth before, the troops were not prepared, one charge went up, ate four cannons, killed three, wounded fifteen, and dragged the corpses back. (To be continued......)
