Chapter 36 Breaking through the outer city of Jinzhou
The strength of the Qing army near Jinzhou has decreased, and it is estimated from the facts that such a situation should not occur! But that's exactly what happened! Another point, Zhang Biwu also found that there were fewer guards standing on Jinzhou than before, unlike the ones who stood densely before, more people were driven to the city! Right! It's the people!
Zhang Biwu understood at this time, and in five days, he also heard the news that a large number of Qing troops had left the city in Jinzhou City, and he was not wrong!
The enemy army is out in large numbers, and it seems that they are going to abandon Jinzhou! Although I don't know why Dolgon wants to give up such an important Jinzhou, Zhang Biwu Qingjun is the best for him!
He can't miss this opportunity, he must let the soldiers attack Jinzhou bravely, take Jinzhou as soon as possible, as long as Jinzhou is broken, everything will be fine.
At this time, Zhang's army launched a wave of offensive towards Jinzhou, although the defenders on Jinzhou were greatly reduced, but the defense was still tenacious. Zhang Biwu still has to find out the enemy's situation first, and then he can do a good job!
After some investigation, Zhang Biwu understood the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that Dorgon's illness had worsened, and he was even more worried after hearing about the fall of Matsuyama! And they were another surprise attack that didn't have the desired effect, which made Dolgon feel even more uncomfortable.
And Zhang Biwu began to vigorously sweep the periphery of Jinzhou, the entire Qing army was shaken by the morale of the army, he knew this more well, once Jinzhou became an isolated city, there were no soldiers and food to transport, and in such a turbulent situation, Jinzhou would be even more difficult to hold.
Dorgon's worries made his illness even worse. He fainted. I didn't wake up for a long time. Although it is constantly supplemented with ginseng, cordyceps sinensis and other good medicines. Although he has woken up, he is extremely weak, he can't command at all, and it's difficult to even get out of bed, so how do you want to command thousands of troops?
The defeat of Songshan itself, and Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan's direct threat to Shenyang, made the Qing army uneasy, and now Dolgon's illness is the last straw that overwhelms the camel!
The hearts of the Qing army were even more shaken. Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou are combined. They know that if they stick to Jinzhou again, everyone will have to die! Although it is a pity to give up Jinzhou, but if they don't give up, they will all be defeated, it is better to concentrate all their strength to defend Shenyang first, if they can hold it, the Manchu Qing can still exist.
Therefore, they retreated, and when they escorted Dolgon back under the cover of the main force, they encountered Cao Bianjiao. Defeat Cao Bianjiao!
And then during this time, let the main force withdraw from Jinzhou. Return to the capital. It's just that the Manchus can't give up Jinzhou easily, and they will leave dead soldiers to guard Jinzhou.
Even if they were guarding Beijing at the beginning, it was a political necessity to let Kubilong and Yue Le stay in Beijing. And now to defend Jinzhou, one is to delay time, and the other is to retain the most hope, if Jinzhou really holds, the Manchu Qing can exist.
They also decided that with Zhang Biwu's cautious and cautious attitude, there was a suspicion that the Manchu Qing would give up Jinzhou, and he would not attack aggressively, but would first explore the good news before making a decision!
Of course, the city suddenly shouted that Zhang Biwu should be given the head in order to deepen Zhang Biwu's doubts, so that Zhang Biwu could not figure out the thoughts of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and would not move.
As long as it can be delayed for a while, time is extremely precious for the Manchus.
Zhang Biwu laughed when he heard this, and said, "Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou, you two worked together to smash me again!" Even though I missed the best opportunity, it doesn't mean I can't destroy you! Victory is still firmly in my hands! ”
Zhang Biwu looked at Jinzhou City, when Dolgon withdrew because of his sudden illness, he was equivalent to taking Jinzhou into his arms, and Jinzhou couldn't get out.
At this time, it was already understood that it was Tuhai who was going to die in Jinzhou! It's the Tuhai that has been reused many times but has been defeated repeatedly!
When Xiong Zongheng heard this, he was shocked, yes! How to say that Tuhai is his own uncle, now that Tuhai is killed, he is sad in his heart, how to say that Tuhai is also his own uncle! He is the only relative in the world.
Zhang Biwu looked at Xiong Zongheng, he could understand Xiong Zongheng's heart, so he sighed and said, "Xiong Zongheng, go back and urge the food!" ”
Zhang Biwu is thinking about Xiong Zongheng and not letting him see his uncle's death. Of course, Xiong Zongheng Zhang Biwu was for his good, so he had no choice but to go, so he said: "Boss, I know what to do!" It's all about the public! ”
Zhang Biwu just nodded, waved his hand, and motioned for him to go.
Zhang Biwu appeared under the city of Jinzhou, he ordered the whole army to start a wave of offensives, he will not delay any longer, he must capture Jinzhou. This time, Jinzhou City was again under strong attack.
Tu Hai stood on Jinzhou City, he never took a step back, he just sat fixedly, he was directing the battle.
This time, Tu Hai has made preparations for death, he will not escape again, he only thinks about delaying for the Manchu Qing for a moment!
Tuhai shouted: "Everyone hold on! Kill one more enemy soldier and count it as one! We want to contribute every drop of our blood to the Qing Dynasty! Baturu, fight to the death! ”
At this time, the Qing soldiers all raised their arms and shouted, and they kept chanting this sentence: "I am Baturu!" ”
And the corresponding ones were Zhang Jun's soldiers, who listened to Baturu's shout, and they just shouted: "Victory!" Their eyes were filled with a desire for victory!
Because defeating the enemy army, which is known as heroes and warriors, doesn't it show their strength even more? Therefore, when the Qing soldiers shouted "Baturu" to rise up one by one, Zhang Jun's soldiers were even more excited, and they all pounced on the Qing soldiers as if they were crazy, and they wanted to eliminate the Qing soldiers.
In Jinzhou City, there is no longer a wall like before, and there are soldiers guarding it, so you can be closely guarded. And now that there is a shortage of manpower, it is natural that Zhang Jun's soldiers have a gap everywhere.
This time, one after another Zhang Jun soldiers climbed to the top of the city, and the Qing soldiers wanted to stop them, but they were also suffering from too few people and were not able to deal with it!
The east side was blocked, and another soldier came up from the west, and destroyed the one from the north, and the one from the south also came up. You extinguish this side, and the other side is floating. That's it, it's overpowering, but it's floating everywhere, and it's difficult to control everywhere.
Tu Hai also shouted: "Hold on! Hold it for me! No matter what, everyone has to defend it desperately! ”
Tu Hai has been defending for four days, Zhang Jun has never stopped attacking, and their waves of offensive like a tide will never stop.
The defenders could not rest, and there were not many defenders left in Jinzhou, and it was difficult for them to fight again and again in the resistance they had resisted.
Tu Hai saw that the walls of the outer city were occupied by Zhang Jun's soldiers, and the outer city could not be defended, so now he had to retreat to the inner city first, hold the inner city, and delay it for a while.
The outer city has been broken, only the inner city remains, and the news has reached Zhang Biwu. Zhang Biwu was overjoyed, he saw that it was getting late.
And the soldiers have been attacking for four days in a row, although it is a rotation system, but everyone is also tired, it is better to rest for a night for the time being, and come back tomorrow to attack. Jinzhou City is like a boiled duck that can't fly.
Song Xiance proposed to Zhang Biwu that he should surround them first, anyway, there is only the inner city, and the Qing army in the inner city does not have much ability, and the Qing army in the inner city is less than 10,000 people, and it is very easy to eliminate them.
Surround them first, give the Manchus a chance, let the Manchus think that Jinzhou is not broken, they will divide their troops to save Jinzhou, and then besiege the city to send reinforcements, as much as possible to destroy the enemy's vitality.
In this way, attacking Shenyang in the future will be able to reduce a lot of resistance, and it will be better than the strength of the enemy in the decisive battle between the two sides.
Moreover, the siege has been around for a long time, and there is only an inner city, and the enemy's food inside is a problem, and their morale will also be low, so why do they have to let them lose their troops in the empty space when the beasts counterattack? When they are all out of strength and exhausted, they will be able to catch them!
Another point is that now that the outer city of Jinzhou City has been broken, only the inner city remains, and there is no need for hundreds of thousands of troops to attack at all, nor can it accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops.
Why leave your troops here empty? It is better to move the troops to Shenyang first, find an opportunity, and march to the city of Shenyang.
Zhang Biwu was very happy to hear this suggestion, and he nodded his head one after another in agreement.
Zhang Biwu is letting the horses attack the inner city, but they are not so urgent.
As for the main army, it was temporarily resting and recuperating, and did not immediately march. Because after fighting for a long time, it is time to rest and recuperate!
Now that the urgency is not in a hurry, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has lost the Songjin area, what else can be done? It would have been better if they had been able to scare them out of Shenyang.
The world is big, where can there be a place for the Manchu Qing Dynasty again? No matter where they run, Zhang Biwu will chase them.
See if the Manchu Qing really sent reinforcements, without reinforcements, he would spread the news to the Qing troops who retreated to the inner city, so that they would know that they had been abandoned, and all they could do was to surrender Zhang Biwu, otherwise, they would only die.
Of course Zhang Biwu will not send an envoy to go, isn't this a waste of letting people die? As long as you shout with this, the other party will know it.
Zhang Biwu was waiting, and at the same time, he was also getting all the armies ready to march towards Shenyang. As for the Qing army trapped in Jinzhou, although there were 10,000 people, they could not be underestimated, and they still left 100,000 people to surround them.
Zhang Biwu was waiting, and the news he waited for was that the Manchus had not sent troops to attack! This time, it is clear, Dolgon is not stupid, he knows that since Jinzhou has been abandoned and the outer city has been lost, it is not an easy task to save it again.
Zhang Biwu heard that Dolgon was seriously ill again, and although he reluctantly got up, he was often unconscious!
Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan's side also got the news, they knew that Jinzhou was about to be lost, and Zhang Biwu's army was about to march into Shenyang. (To be continued......)
