Chapter 376: Nurhachi Attacks Xiping Fort

Liaodong Nurhachi inspected the results of North Korea's looting and found that it would continue to be tense next year, so he would definitely attack Daming again within a year.

In the past, the Eight Banners were all winter and spring, occupying the advantage of terrain and weather, so that the Ming army could not exert its full strength.

It's autumn, and the advantage of the Eight Banners is not so big for the time being, and it's not the usual time to attack.

But Wang Huazhen's side was still arguing with Xiong Tingbi, and he still wanted to launch an attack, let Zhang Shenwu and Mao Wenlong cooperate from behind to avenge the North Korean allies as much as possible.

Moreover, after careful reporting, there are already generals who are willing to defect, and Wang Huazhen is defenseless against this.

Nurhachi decided to launch a surprise attack and hit Wang Huazhen by surprise.

After taking Liaoyang and Shenyang, the centers of the Ming Dynasty's rule in the northeast, Nurhachi did not lack manpower for the time being, and this time he greatly transferred people.

Contact the Kormi Mongols, and let them claim to the outside world that they would do business in Shenyang, and actually lead 20,000 cavalry to attack the south together. At this time, the autumn was crisp, the Mongols were in the strongest period of horses, and the Mongol army, which had limited combat strength in the past, was not bad this time.

Zhang Shenwu was busy flying pigeons to pass the book, more than a dozen carrier pigeons, most of them were shot down by the Mongols, and only a few went to the hands of Wang Huazhen and Lao Tan of Guangning.

Wang Huazhen felt that the letter was relatively small, and he didn't believe in the general attack of Jiannu and Kormi. Second, he had a dispute with Xiong Tingbi, and finally did not inform Xiong Tingbi of Liaodong Jingluo.

However, the intelligence station in Guangning played a key role, and Lao Tan hurriedly sent a message to Xiong Tingbi in Shanhaiguan, Wang Hongyu and Meng Biao Feige in Beijing.

Apocalypse was discussing the matter of Liaodong with Wang Hongyu at this time.

Just talked about it, it is time to let the refugees from Liaodong settle in peace and become the defenders of the city. The discord of the governor of the economy should also support Xiong Tingbi.

Tianqi Zhu Youxiao believed: "Xiong Tingbi guarded Liao for a year, without major losses, replaced Yuan Yingtai, and was defeated. After Xiong took office, he found that Jiannu's troops were insufficient, and the Eight Banners were shorter than attacking fortifications, so he really should deal with it in this way.

At this time, after receiving a warning from Lao Tan, he hurriedly went out of the palace to check the letter, and within half an hour, he returned to the palace to make an urgent report.

......

The war in Liaodong came very urgently.

Ten days later.

After Wang Huazhen, the governor of Guangning, learned that the Houjin army was advancing westward, he hastily completed the deployment of troops to defend it.

ordered the general soldier Liu Qu to lead 20,000 troops to defend Zhenwu, and the general soldier Qi Bingzhong led 10,000 troops to defend Luyang, which was divided into two roads, north and south, and Guangning; Ordered the deputy chief soldier Luo to lead 3,000 troops to defend Xiping Fort.

He led a heavy army to garrison Quang Ninh, trying to use the four forts as a barrier to Guangning to block the attack of the Houjin army.

50,000 soldiers and horses of the 7 banners of Houjin crossed the Sancha River through Niuzhuang and marched westward, and the Kol tribe wandered and plundered in the periphery. Many refugees from the Mingfang River Soldiers saw that Houjin and Kohl's army was invincible, and they fled in fear.

The Houjin soldiers took advantage of the situation to pursue and began to surround and attack Xiping Fort, with the aim of luring the Ming soldiers of the forts around Quang Ninh to come and participate in the battle. At that time, the defenders of the cities were passive and self-preservation, and did not give instructions, Wang Huazhen did not know whether to fight or defend, and curled up in Guangning, not daring to attack.

Nurhachi knew that the single combat strength of the Ming army was not inferior to that of the Houjin soldiers and horses, that was the nine-sided border army, and now nearly half of the army gathered by Wang Huazhen were refugees from Liaodong.

Although it is based on the remnants of the Nine Sides, it has not yet undergone the baptism of war, and it is far from being comparable to the real soldiers of the Nine Sides.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

However, he was obstructed by Sun Degong, a Han female cadre, and was unable to mobilize the elite of the Pingliao army, so he went out to defend Xiping Fort alone.

After the defeat of Shaling, Xipingbao was besieged by the Houjin army, and the gunpowder ran out. The horizontal sword killed himself.

In this life, due to the emergence of Wang Hongyu, the history of its butterfly effect has also changed.

Luo had also judged Nurhachi's march route, and he suggested to Wang Huazhen that he mobilize troops to ambush.

This time, Sun Degong, the Han female cadre, was advised by Fan Wencheng and did not take high-profile actions, so he did not obstruct it.

But the key is that Wang Huazhen doesn't understand military affairs at all, and she doesn't know how to deal with it.

Where does he understand what military affairs,. Just send Luo to lead his 3,000 soldiers to garrison Xiping Fort, and since it is judged that Nurhachi wants to come from here, then send you to garrison. If the later army comes from Xipingbao, it means that the official is well-discussed; Otherwise, Naro will always be guilty.

Although Luo had only 3,000 soldiers, he was not afraid of the Houjin soldiers outside the fort, and he organized 7,000 people from Xiping Fort to assist the soldiers in defending the city.

The earliest building age of Xiping Fort was the orthodox 7th year of the Ming Dynasty. The site is square and about 600 meters long on each side. The terrain is high in the middle, with a slight gentle slope on all sides, and there is a city gate on the south side.

There are 13 piers under Xiping Fort, which is not only a military town, but also a post station in ancient times.

Nurhachi led an army of 50,000 from Liaoyang to seek Quang Ninh. Instead of attacking Quang Ninh directly, Nurhachi attacked Quang Ninh's outpost of Si Binh Fort, with the strategic intention of luring Quang Ninh and nearby garrisons out of the city to come to the rescue.

Therefore, Nurhachi led his army to the east bank of the Liao River and forcibly crossed the Sancha River.

At that time, Wang Huazhen, the governor of Guangning, the right capital of the imperial history and Guangning, the defensive strategy was that 30,000 troops were stationed along the first line of the Sancha River, and Xiping Fort was defended by 3,000 people led by Luo Chengcheng, the deputy commander-in-chief.

The commander-in-chief Liu Qu, Qi Bingzhong and other troops led 30,000 people to defend Luyang and Zhenwu Fort respectively. Wang Huazhen introduced tens of thousands of troops to sit in Guangning.

In this way, the 10 armies were divided piecemeal.

Xiong Tingbi, who was stationed in Shanhaiguan and Liaodong Military Affairs, believed that "the river is narrow and the fort is too small to tolerate", and hoped that the Ming Dynasty would mobilize 10,000 soldiers and horses and sufficient weapons and grain to strengthen the defense, but Wang Huazhen did not listen to his advice.

When the Houjin army crossed the river, the 30,000 river guards were scattered over a long distance, and they were simply not able to defeat the tens of thousands of enemy troops who concentrated on crossing the river.

And half of the 30,000 river guards from Liaodong refugees joined in the past year, although they had a deep blood feud with Jiannu, but they had not experienced war, and the organization and discipline were poor, so they suddenly collapsed and absconded back to the city to live in the guard, and were exploited by Nurhachi.

The war between the two armies was extremely tragic, first Heiyunhe, the general of Xipingbao, went out of the city to meet the battle, and was beheaded by the Later Jin general Mang Gurtai.

Although there were only 3,000 defenders of the city, Luo Yiyi, the defender of Xiping Fort, still commanded the soldiers to fire wood and rolling stones, and opened artillery bombardment after the Houjin army pounced.

The Houjin army was splashed with casualties and blood, although more than ten times Jiannu could not attack Xiping Fort, which was only five miles in the circle.
