Chapter 60: The Battle of Songjin - A Precursor to Defeat!
Let's count the tickets...
You b!!
————————
If the war was smooth for the Ming army, then it was not smooth for the Tartars.
After the Qing army was defeated, it immediately took a defensive position, stubbornly defended the camp and no longer went into battle, and at the same time urgently asked for help from Huang Taiji in Shengjing.
The Ming army immediately reported the good news of the victory to the imperial court, and Emperor Chongzhen saw the great news, so he urged Hong Chengchou to take advantage of the victory and rush forward, so as to be annihilated.
Hong Chengchou is old and serious, but he is more cautious and cautious after the first battle.
At this time, Ma Shaoyu, the former counselor of the army, suggested that he should organize an all-out attack before the enemy's reinforcements arrived, and strive to take Jinzhou in one go.
I have to say that this scheme actually seems to be very operational now.
However, Hong Chengchou, who was familiar with the Tartar war at that time, insisted on going his own way and did not adopt it, and he still confronted the Qing army with a stronghold against a strong.
He set up seven large battalions between Rufeng Mountain and Matsuyama Mountain, dug trenches and fortified them, and ordered cavalry to be stationed on the east, north, and west sides of the battalion, which became a solid defense system.
To put it simply, it is to drag time and fight for consumption.
It's just that the survivors are confused.
Obviously Jinzhou City is close at hand, do you say that if you don't fight, you won't fight?
What are you doing?
Isn't there something wrong with that!
You must know that under Hong Chengchou's arrangement, the Ming army seems to have become a consolidated defense system.
However, there is a Changling Mountain Range on the north side of the lifeline of Jin, Song, Xing, and Tower, which looks very steep, but it is entirely possible for the cavalry to go around the mountain road, outflank to the west of Songshan, and cut off the supply line from Bijia Mountain to the outside of the Ming army.
For this reason, Zhang Dou, the supervisor of Datong, proposed to divide a force to be stationed in Changling to prevent the Qing army from outflanking by a detour.
But Hong Chengchou is quite arrogant and arrogant.
"I've been governor for twelve years, what do you fathers-in-law know!"
refused to accept Zhang Dou's opinion, and Changling has not been fortified.
(This is recorded in history, if you are interested, you can look for it)
For Hong Chengchou's insistence, it was difficult for all the officials in the Ming army to object.
Not to mention that because of the victory of the Ming army in front, Hong Chengchou's reputation is now in full swing, not to mention that Hong Chengchou is holding the sword of the Son of Heaven and is still the governor of the army, he is the biggest official in this place
!!!
Therefore, the current Hong Chengchou has quickly transformed from his previous lack of self-confidence to self-confidence.
He believes that even if it is a Tartar who has endangered the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, he must be careful in the face of him Hong Chengchou.
Quite arrogant.
Quite, confident!
Hong Chengchou's behavior naturally affected the soldiers in the army, and more and more people began to be full of blind confidence in this battle.
They think that the invincible Tartars are nothing more than that!
In fact, seeing this, Park Bian understood why the Songjin War was defeated this time.
Underestimating the enemy, coupled with the commander's decision-making mistakes, and then adding the good tradition of the Ming army to collapse at the touch of a button, in fact, from beginning to end, it seems that the Tartars only need to win one battle.
And the reason why the two sides are so deadlocked now is only because of the lack of troops on the Tartar side.
Although the Manchus knew that the Ming Dynasty would have a decisive battle with them before, they didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would come with so many people this time!
Therefore, in the case of inevitable lack of preparation, the Tartars, who have always been on the attacking side, had to put away their temper at this time, endure the provocation of the Ming army, and wait for the arrival of the rear army.
"Inform everyone, prepare to carry out the retreat plan!"
Yan Chengcheng looked at Park Bian with some embarrassment.
"That... Those people? ”
Yan Chengcheng refers to some Shandong army survivors who have gone to the mountains in a hurry to collect points.
They don't believe Park Bian's judgment.
They felt that the famous boss of the dragon slaying group, the blood fox Pu Bian, had made a mistake in reading.
Before leaving, many people secretly mocked Park Bian's yin and yang.
A smile tugged at the corner of Park Bian's mouth.
It's just that this smile, in Yan Chengcheng's opinion, feels very cruel no matter how you look at it.
Whoever forsakes me, the day of yesterday shall not remain!
Those who disturb my heart will have many troubles today.
Perhaps it was the ancient battlefield that aroused Park Bian's memories, and Park Bian used ancient poems that only Park Bian and Yan Chengcheng knew.
It's just that this poet is a beautiful verse, but he can hear the killing intent contained in it.
They are not nannies, and those who survive are not employers.
Park Bian is not obligated to protect those people.
informed them of Park Bian's judgment before, just because Park Bian still needs to rely on it
their power.
But now, since these people are driven by greed, it is not the duty of Park Bian to save them.
Park Bian is not an angel, so Park Bian is not obligated to save everyone.
Seven days after the start of the Battle of Jinzhou, when the front was still deadlocked, Huang Taiji, who received a quick horse in front of him to ask for help, immediately decided to personally lead the army to help, and planned to take this opportunity to eliminate the main force of the Ming Dynasty in the Shanhaiguan area in one fell swoop.
He wants to make the Ming Dynasty lose control of Liaodong forever!
When Huang Taiji led his troops to Jinzhou, Huang Taiji, who was familiar with the geographical situation in the Ningjin area, really went around to the back of Hong Chengchou along the Changling Mountain Range and camped at Qijiabao on the west side of Songshan Mountain.
And the next day, Huang Taiji ordered the soldiers to dig three large trenches eight feet deep and more than a foot wide behind the Ming army, which carried out a counter-encirclement of the Ming army, and also cut off the grain and grass supply line from Bijia Mountain to the outside of the Ming army.
At the same time, he also sent his younger brother Azig, the king of Dorowuying, to lead an army to attack Beacon Mountain, and successfully captured the twelve piles of grain that the Ming army had gathered there.
(You read that right, there are names and surnames, historical records, it is indeed twelve piles...) )
After the arrival of Huang Taiji, these several flowing military actions made the Ming army, which had a little morale, cover their heads all of a sudden, and the soldiers were panicked, and their will to fight immediately dropped to the freezing point.
Hong Chengchou didn't seem to expect the Qing army's reinforcements to come so quickly, and as soon as he came, he went around his back, so he had to concentrate all his strength to deal with the enemy behind him first, hoping to reopen the transportation line and recapture the military rations.
A day later, the Ming army launched an attack on Huang Taiji's camp, although the strength was superior, but did not win, some generals saw Huang Taiji's Huang Gai in the Qing army, knew that Huang Taiji personally came to the army, and even retreated before the confrontation.
The Ming army had no morale and was almost defeated.
Postwar.
Hong Chengchou's Chinese army tent was noisy, and the commanders of the Ming army from all walks of life blamed each other, anyway, they all said that the other party was incompetent.
was cut off by the Qing army, the grain road was cut off, and the tall image of Hong Chengchou's previous invincible and unstoppable strategy collapsed, and Hong Chengchou's previous accumulated prestige was instantly shattered.
This can be seen in the fact that those general soldiers dare to blame each other in Hong Chengchou's military tent unscrupulously.
Wu Ke hid in the last position and did not speak.
He just suddenly remembered that Park Bian's army was not stationed with the army, but had three months of food and grass.
