Actually, it's not just Qin Ling.

Wang Hongyu couldn't see it himself, and his face was not a few months ago, a little immature and handsome, but a mature and steady heroic spirit.

Liaoyang is about 90 miles away from the Liaohe Bridge and ferry, and only more than 80 miles away from the camp.

A quick march can be reached overnight.

Although it has only been resting for a long time, it is important to rescue Liaoyang.

It is estimated that Yuan Yingtai will mess up the strong city defense by himself.

......

Yuan Yingtai unsurprisingly made another stupid move.

did not hurry to stabilize the city defense, did not hurry to suppress rumors and traitors, but ordered to open the floodgates and put the water of the Taihe River into the moat, thinking that Liaoyang would be solid in this way.

He thought that there was a moat to block Jiannu from reaching the city at all, and regarded everyone's advice as unfounded worry, creating a tense atmosphere, ignorance and short-sightedness, and personally leading the main force of the Ming army out of the city.

If you don't go out of the city and take the initiative to engage in the battle, and stick to the city, filling the moat with waterways is conducive to defense.

As long as the Inner Mongolian army in the city is controlled, the leader of the Mongolian army is taken down according to Zhang Quan's method, and the Mongolian army is directly divided into various generals, they will be prevented from rebelling.

It's a pity that the useless scholar Yuan Yingtai not only doesn't understand military affairs, but also doesn't listen to the correct advice of civilian officials and military generals, and doesn't know how to pretend to understand.

Because of his indiscriminate command, he had lost many generals and more than 90,000 Ming troops, and he did not accept the lesson of the Mongol army in Shenyang City as the internal cause of the rebellion, but used heavy money to win over the Mongol army.

Because the 3,000 soldiers left by Zhao led the sect did not have a main general, Yuan Yingtai did not want to hand it over to Zhang Quan, who knew military affairs, to manage, but let the Mongols command them.

At this time, the deputy general Liang Zhongshan had 3,000 soldiers, but because he was close to the Southern Army, he was the target of his exclusion, so he did not give it to him.

Yuan Yingtai has a battalion of 3,000 pacesetters, and the equipment of this army is of course first-class, and if it is trained under a general who knows the soldiers, it is a strong army.

But he doesn't understand military affairs and thinks he is a military strategist, so he is reluctant to let his generals who understand military affairs lead this team.

When Zhang Quan said that his standard battalion had not participated in actual combat and should send them to hoe or defend the city, Yuan Yingtai thought that Zhang Quan was afraid that his standard battalion would become famous, and then prevent him from becoming famous.

How could he hear it, he directly took the official position to press, and personally led the army out of the city to fight again.

He ordered the 3,000 standard battalion to be the vanguard, Zu Dashou's 2,000 Liaoxi Army to be the Chinese army, and let Liang Zhongshan, who has rich combat experience, lead his 3,000 troops to the rear.

He also sent tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers and Zhao Shujiao's soldiers and horses to attack on both wings.

Yuan Yingtai's troops are three times that of Amin's soldiers with the blue flag, isn't this a hammer smashing watermelons?

Especially if your own standard battalion is the vanguard and the Mongolian soldiers are the flanking attack, how can you be invincible?

As soon as the battle began, the blue flag was covered with a shield car, and the archers shot the Ming army from the probe point behind the shield car, and the arrows within 50 steps were sure to hit, but the Ming army's guns and arrows were difficult to hurt them.

Approaching 30 steps, Jiannu continued to use the shield car to cover the release of arrows, and a large number of savage Jurchens rushed over, their faces were terrifying, and they grinned hoarsely, directly shocking the Ming army.

The standard camp was originally quite good at fighting under Xiong Tingbi one year ago, but Yuan Yingtai came to change the base, and neglected training, and at this time, he was completely defeated as soon as he fought.

Suddenly, the friendly forces on the flanks withdrew.

The Mongolian army didn't want to die for Yuan Yingtai, so they turned their horses and fled quickly, directly overthrowing Zhao Shuojiao's battalion formation, and the blue flag chased after them, directly defeating the battalion soldiers instantly.

This battle will be lost, Zu Dashou, the fleeing general, is naturally oiled on the soles of his feet, and his subordinates are also working from top to bottom.

The drawbridge was crowded with routs, a large number of soldiers and horses fell into the moat and drowned, thousands of soldiers and horses because Yuan Yingtai positioned their main general as a traitor, knowing that Liaoyang City could not be kept and did not want to work for Yuan Yingtai, did not enter the city to flee to the northwest, waiting for the opportunity to find the main general.

Liang Zhongshan's 3,000 soldiers and horses behind the palace did not escape, but the road was blocked, and he was isolated and helpless in a desperate battle, and was killed by Zierharang, who was inlaid with a blue flag.

Even Liang Zhongshan was hacked to death by Jiannu because of the crowded formation, but he couldn't use his strength to fight back.

There were still more than 1,000 soldiers under his command who were separated from the main general by the rout, and seeing that Liang Zhongshan was killed in battle, there was no hope of entering the city, and they also fled to the northwest.

The hearts of the Liaoyang army and the people were completely shaken.

Yuan Yingtai did not flee back to the city that day, but camped in the west of the city, wanting to wait until the next day to counterattack and repel the blue flag.

He hurriedly reported the situation to the imperial court overnight, and wrote a letter to the imperial court asking for help, telling that the blue flag was very powerful, and he defeated and killed the commanders Zhu Wanliang and Liang Zhongshan twice in a row. The recital does not describe the course of the battle, especially his own refueling tactics, but exaggerates the blue flag to tens of thousands of people.

From this, he found that the two defeats of the Sichuan army with the blue flag should have been faked, and it was simply a lie about the military situation that led to an intelligence error. The Sichuan army Zhou Dunji and Wang Hongyu were unable to write books, and repeatedly disobeyed orders, inducing You Shilu, Zhao Shujiao and others to flee without obeying orders.

In this Liaoyang and Shenyang War, the two people who suffered were Zhou Dunji and Wang Hongyu of the Sichuan Army!

This letter was rushed for 800 miles and sent to the imperial court overnight.

Moreover, he wrote a number of secret letters and recitals, which were sent by many groups of people, and Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong, Yang Lian, etc. were the first to get the news, and they were able to lead the "Zhongzheng" group to respond.

In fact, this is not how bad Yuan Yingtai is, but his position.

The civil and political tendency to emphasize civilianism over military force, and the traditional Confucian concept of respect and inferiority, made him think highly of himself and regard martial artists as people who were a few levels lower than himself. Private actions challenged the most fundamental status of officialdom at this time.

From his standpoint, it is impossible for him to feel that Wang Hongyu is right and he is wrong.

Although Yuan Yingtai is very effective in controlling the water, meticulous in managing logistics, diligent in everything and loving the people, and often practicing benevolence and righteousness to the end, his military ability is seriously insufficient, and it is he, a layman, who completely rides above the insider.

The Donglin Party is in charge of the government and insists on asking him to take the position, but the blame is not all on the Donglin Party.

This problem will continue to exist if we do not solve the problem of the complete overriding of civilian officials over military generals, do not reform the idea of getting narrower and narrower, and do not overthrow the entire officialdom system.

Of course, Yuan Yingtai couldn't imagine that Wang Hongyu was already laying out these things, but in his position, he naturally took it as the opposite.

He didn't sleep all night, he was busy with this matter under the candlelight, and sent messengers to Liaohe and Quang Ninh to ask for help, but neglected other key matters.

Early the next morning, Yuan Yingtai reorganized his army, intending to defend against the blue flag with his back to the city.

Zhang Quan in the city was busy all night, and finally stabilized the defense of the city gate, but because there were too few elite soldiers left in the city, he was no longer able to suppress rumors and arrest spies and conspirators.

Suddenly, there were countless bull horns from the north, as if thousands of troops and horses were wrapped in endless black clouds and pressed towards Liaoyang City.

Nurhachi led the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses of the six flags, including the Yellow Flag, the Yellow Flag, the White Flag, the White Flag, the Red Flag, and the Red Flag, and launched a formation to kill.

Yuan Yingtai was completely dumbfounded.
