Chapter 177: Strategies of both sides
Nurhachi invaded in a big way, and the situation in Liaodong changed day by day, and Sun Chengzhong began to arrange the city defense and garrison according to the plan. Due to the inability to fight with the Houjin field, with the help of a favorable city defense Ming army can fight with the Jin army, this is really a sadness of the times.
In the original history, Central Nurhachi saw that the city was strong, and the Ming army was very well guarded, and it could not be attacked, so it could only be outwitted. So he dispatched "fine work", mixed into the city, and waited for the response. On 19 March, Nurhachi sent a small number of men and horses across the Taizi River to deceive the enemy, but the Ming army was ambushed and defeated by Nurhachi...... On the 21st, Nurhachi took advantage of the victory to attack, and made peace with the "spies" in the city to capture Liaoyang City.
But now the form is different, the strategy has shifted to the people, and Nurhachi may not directly attack the city, which is also what Sun Chengzhong is worried about. However, there is such a theorem in this world, and what people are most worried about is that this thing will definitely happen! When the Jin army came to the city of Shenyang, there was only one white flag!
The flag owner of the white flag is the emperor Taiji, the white flag has a total of 25 cattle records, as we mentioned earlier, there are 300 people in a cattle record in the Houjin establishment, in principle, the eight flags of the Houjin are also 25 cattle records, about 7500 people! But the strength of the Eight Banners is not the same, such as the forty-five Niu Lu of the Yellow Flag, the thirty-three Niu Lu of the Blue Flag, and the others are also one by one.
But this is to attack Shenyang City, Houjin actually only sent a positive white flag, only about 7,500 people, it is too child's fun to attack a heavy city like Shenyang. You must know how tightly defended Shenyang, there are tens of thousands of cannons in the city, seven of them, each weighing more than 1,000 to 3,000 catties.
The artillery of the Ming Dynasty at this time was actually very developed. At least it is used to deal with Houjin, which is definitely new. Therefore, Li Jiancheng has no intention of upgrading the artillery immediately. Rather, it starts with light weapons, which is also aimed at maximizing the use of limited funds.
Huang Taiji came to Shenyang with more than 7,500 people with a white flag, camped several miles away, and did not dare to get too close, they also knew the power of the cannon. Huang Taiji not only set up camp, but also sent cavalry to reconnoiter the perimeter of Shenyang City. The last one actually sent a few people to stand under the city and shout!
Seeing this situation, Sun Cheng was loyal to the people who wanted to greet him, and You Shigong, the chief soldier standing on the city wall, first shouted: "Who is under the city, what are you doing here?" ”
The people under the city also shouted: "It was originally Tieling Xiucai Lin Wu in the bottom, and now the Dajin Sibeile Emperor Taiji is in charge." I came to give a message to General Sun Chengzhong, the marshal in the city! ”
You Shigong immediately scolded angrily one day: "The dog traitor of the grass and mud horse, you are quite good at remembering the book." I'm going back and telling you what bullshit four Baylor, we're so busy that we don't have time to listen to you! ”
The Xiucai named Lin Wu under the city was choked by You Shixian with a word, there has never been a shortage of traitors, and when Houjin was still rolling in the northeast, he didn't know how many traitors there were in Lu Dao to help. When he completely marries the world, what kind of men and women are not satisfied, it can be seen how helpless he is, men are sometimes really inferior to women.
Lin Wu stubbornly endured this tone and said, "General You, the so-called people have their own ambitions, and we are not allowed to argue." Today I have said something here, and I ask the general to convey it: Four Baylor said. If Lord Sun is willing to lay down his arms and surrender to my Dajin, the Khan will never be worthy of Mr. Sun. It won't be less than what the Ming Emperor gave.! ”
As soon as Lin Wu's words were finished, You Shigong couldn't help but scold angrily again: "I'm a grass mud horse, you put a big piece of Houjin palm, and you dare to compare with my Daming!" Come on, shoot me with a bow and kill this bastard! ”
"You!" Lin Wu under the city couldn't say a word, so he fell off his horse and ran away, he was really afraid that You Shigong would shoot him to death with an arrow! Who said that You Shigong also scared him, and this person fled, and You Shigong laughed wildly with the soldiers all over the city wall.
After this confrontation, You Shigong came to Sun Chengzhong, who was watching from the other side, and He Shixian, who was next to him, scolded angrily: "Damn, the Tartar is so arrogant, he actually treats me like nothing." This Huang Taiji is even more hateful, he actually dared to persuade the enemy generals to surrender with only 7,000 people, and he really didn't take us seriously. The commander will ask to attack, teach them a good lesson, and make sure that they know that they are powerful! ”
At this time, You Shigong also said: "The last general also agrees, if you don't give them some color to see, what is this Hou Jin Sibeile really doesn't take us and others seriously!" ”
Sun Chengzhong heard this, but said: "The two generals are not in a hurry, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple." Think about it, let's not talk about the four Beyler Emperor Taiji, then Nurhachi would really be so stupid to send a positive white flag to take me Shenyang? ”
Obviously, Nurhachi's stunt will not only be to this extent, Sun Chengzong said: "Nurhachi is good at field battles, not good at attacking cities. I'm afraid that this Emperor Taiji sent people to persuade me to surrender to provoke me, so that we can attack him in anger, I am afraid that the enemy will have an ambush! ”
As soon as the two generals heard this, this was indeed very possible, with Nurhachi's usual style, how could he send a positive white flag to take Shenyang? So He Shixian said: "According to the general's opinion, the enemy is a plan to lure the enemy?" ”
When Sun Chengzong heard this, he stepped forward, looked at the white flag that was camped several miles away, and said: "Not really, maybe the enemy is an empty city plan!" Just scare and scare me, let me wait so that I don't dare to go out of the city to fight! ”
"It's... This..."He Shixian just broke two sentences and didn't figure out the reason, suddenly he seemed to think of something, and said loudly: "It's the people, Huang Taiji scares us so much, making it difficult for us to go out of the city to meet the enemy, and their large army may go after the people!" ”
Sun Chengzong also nodded and said, "That's right!" So I plan to divide the troops into two routes, General Ariga will lead the general soldiers and horses in the city to support the people in the rear, and General You and I will defend the city here! ”
As soon as Sun Chengzong said this, the two of them were shocked, the division of troops is a big problem, and they were defeated by Nurhachi because of the division of troops before. And once the division of troops is in case of a plan, the enemy will attack the city with all his might? But in Sun Chengzhong's opinion, this is the best result, anyway, the plan is to give this city to Nurhachi, which is good, Sun Chengzong's consideration is to take advantage of this to move the soldiers and horses out of the city!
"Shuai, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right? Once the troops are divided, Shenyang is difficult to protect! You Shigong said.
"Then how can the people outside the city ignore it?" Sun Chengzhong asked rhetorically, now this is also a matter of no way, Sun Chengzhong continued: "Before dividing the troops, we need to make a feint, the whole army will attack, at first glance, if the enemy's main force is sure to come out again, if not in General He will take advantage of the situation to leave the city." The enemy's main force is not there, half of us are enough to defend the city! (To be continued......)
