Chapter 180: The Situation Begins!
It is said that Sun Chengzhong in Shenyang City made a false move to transfer the main force to protect the people, and Huang Taiji planned to join Nurhachi to launch a siege strategy. And Daishan, Bengultai and Amin drove more than 30,000 people with Zhenghongqi, Zhenglan Banner, and Blue Banner to Liaoyang City to pursue the people who retreated from the Ming Dynasty.
Here is the way to send troops from Houjin, first of all, Daishan and his group of three Manchurian teams attacked Liaoyang from Xianning Fort, Huang Taiji's team set out from Tieling to attack Shenyang, and Nurhachi set out from Fushun. The purpose of this is twofold! First, in order to change freely, whether it is to attack Shenyang or Liaoyang; Second, it was also to contain the Ming Dynasty's forces and prevent Shenyang and Liaoyang from rescuing each other.
The Great Ming Calendar, March 1, the first year of the Apocalypse (1621). Liaodong has entered the flames of war, and a strange army has appeared on the edge of Liaoyang City, and their costumes look out of place with anyone in this time and space. I saw that they were all dressed in orange and yellow clothes, carrying spears on their shoulders that they had never seen before, and they all looked like small hammers on their waists, and each of them carried a big bag behind their backs, which they had never seen before, and there was a shovel behind the bag, and the only thing the people could recognize was a bright bayonet.
However, the most incredible thing is not their equipment, but more the difference their discipline brings to the people of this time and space. As soon as these people arrived in Liaoyang, they did not enter the city at all, and directly assembled outside the city, and tens of thousands of people gathered into two large neat phalanxes in less than a quarter of an hour.
"Salute!" More than 30,000 people saluted in unison, and Qi Jin and Xiong Ting Congee in front of the army returned the salute in unison, and they had already implemented this etiquette. It's completely different from before. But it makes people feel a different honor and respect.
'Finished. Everyone put their hands down. They all arrived at the battlefield at last, just as strange as the people looked at them, and they were just as puzzled by the unknown fate.
At this time, a group of people came from Pegasus in the city, but it was Chen Ce, the general soldier of Liaoyang, and Tong Zhonghui, a group of Liaoyang generals, who knelt down in front of Xiong Ting Congee excitedly as soon as they came, and cried: "General, you are finally back." ”
The two general soldiers were once Xiong Tingzhou's subordinates, and now they are naturally affectionate. But Xiong Ting Congee is now the emperor's person, so he naturally has to implement the internal policies and will of the organization, he scolded with a smile: "Get up, get up, now we don't play this set, don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, stand up and talk!" Come and meet this, the nephew of General Qi's family back then, Qi Jin! ”
The two stood up in confusion, listened to it and congratulated Qi Jin. Qi Jin was also polite to them. After a while, Chen Ce finally asked the doubts in his heart, he looked at the army in front of him and asked, "General, these people are...?" ”
Xiong Ting Congee smiled: "Your Majesty xià New Army." What do you think? ”
Now Xiong Tingcongee is also wearing the uniform of the new army, if it hadn't been for the fact that Chen Ce and others had already been informed, they would not have recognized it! Tong Zhongqi opened his mouth and said: "It's really extraordinary, it's really new!" ”
I don't know if he's a sycophant, but this person doesn't talk much, but he is also a person with opinions. Xiong Tingcongee smiled without saying a word, and instead of farting with them, he asked, "Where is Mr. Sun now?" ”
"Shenyang City!" Chen Ce replied.
Qi Jin frowned, and he said, "Why did Mr. Sun go on an adventure in person, and why did he go to Shenyang?" ”
Tong Zhonggui said: "Master Sun, righteousness, I have to kiss it, I can't persuade it!" ”
Chen Ce said again: "But don't worry too much, Shenyang is strong, and Jiannu can't take it down!" ”
But Qi Jin and Xiong Ting Congee, who knew the real plan, didn't think so, Xiong Ting Congee didn't talk nonsense, he took out a holy decree and said: "From now on, Liaoyang soldiers and horses will be dispatched by me!" ”
Chen Ce and Tong Zhonghui were ordered, and Xiong Tingcongee didn't leave for long, and now the two of them don't have any ideas. After taking the military power, Xiong Tingcongee continued: "Now the two of you go and transfer all the soldiers who can fight, and follow me to Shenyang!" ”
Chen Ce and Tong Zhonghui were both shocked when they heard this, and they called out all the soldiers and horses? The two thought they had heard it wrong, but Xiong Tingcongee said: "This time we are going to fight a counteroffensive, with 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city plus the new army given to me by His Majesty, and we will go to Jiannu for a while!" ”
When the two of them heard it, they realized that they were going to fight back! Chen Ce and Tong Zhonghui both regarded the 30,000 people brought by Xiong Tingcongee as reinforcements, and nearly 20,000 cavalry among these 30,000 people, it was okay to fight a dozen counterattacks. So the two went into the city to mobilize soldiers and horses, and Xiong Ting Congee came to Qi Jin's side and said, "One qiē is going as planned!" ”
Qi Jin also said that he understood that this time the plan had been in operation since a month ago, and that the evacuation route for the people in Shenyang and Liaoyang was originally determined to be to transfer in the direction of the intersection of the Hunhe River and the Taizi River, which was also to be able to use the convenience of the waterway to achieve the purpose of rapid transfer. And come to the junction of the Hunhe River and the Taizi River and change to a land route all the way to the west to cross the Liao River, to Xipingbao. And this section of the land route is also the most vulnerable route to be attacked by Houjin. Therefore, Qi Jin's task is to go west at the junction of the Hunhe River and the Taizi River; The unknown layout of the lower line of defense to the east of the Liao River. There are still 20,000 people in the new army, and now they are already digging trenches on that predetermined battlefield, and now only Qi Jin came to Liaoyang with 5,000 people to meet, and by the way, evacuated with the last group of Liaoyang people.
The tasks of all parties have been understood, so Xiong Tingcongee took the cavalry of the new army of 15,000 people, as well as 10,000 infantry, and added the 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry of Liaoyang to Shenyang City, a total of 40,000 troops, and Qi Jinzhi with 5,000 people stayed behind, and some people were already officially announcing to the city that they wanted to transform Liaoyang into a military fortress, and those who said that they would evacuate should evacuate with Qi Jin's new army within half a day, otherwise there would be no chance to leave!
The people in the city responded to Yu Yun, and at this time, a special team under Qi Jin's hands walked out and went directly to the Liaoyang Prefecture Capital, and took out a holy decree to seize the power seal there. Then Qi Jin's troops took out a list and divided their troops to dozens of big chambers of commerce in the city to raid their homes and take people, and anyone who blocked the way to open the way with the holy decree and disobeyed should be punished as a traitor.
Half a day later, the last group of people withdrew from Liaoyang, and at the same time left Qi Jin's team of 5,000 people, but it was different from when they came, when they left this time, they had a lot more carriages and horses and boxes to seal the car, Qi Jin took a last look at Liaoyang City, and most of the people who have not left are either blessed or expensive, and the final estimate can only go to be the Shunmin of Houjin, and in the words of the emperor, it is not a pity to be a parasite anyway! ――
