Chapter 57: The soldiers are divided into three ways

"Continue to divide the troops? Attack Fort Weining, Liaoyang and Anshan at the same time? ”

Hearing Wang Li's words, Zu Dashou and He Kegang were not too calm.

You look at me, I look at you, and they all look afraid.

The disastrous defeat in the battle of Sarhu changed the color of the talks between the government and the opposition.

Back then, the elite of the 120,000 Ming Army was beaten to the ground by 60,000 Eight Banner soldiers, with countless casualties!

Now, the 35,000 Ming army can compete with the more than 70,000 Eight Banner Army?

Fight deep into the enemy's army, and there is no backup!

If you're not careful, you'll be wiped out!

Moreover, there were only six thousand cavalry!

No cannon yet!

Ning Yuan and Ning Jin's two big victories, the Ming army was based on the city, and used its own strengths and weaknesses to repel the Eight Banners Army!

And now, it's a division of troops to attack the city!

Weiningbao, Liaoyang and Anshan are dozens of miles away from each other, and it is difficult to support each other!

Such a division of troops can easily be broken one by one, repeating the fiasco of the Battle of Sarhu!

It is normal for the military to be checked and balanced by civilian officials, or to be led by civilian officials.

Yuan Chonghuan, the current secretary of the military department and the governor of Jiliao, is also a civilian official.

However, the army was balanced by eunuchs, which was unique to the Ming Dynasty!

The army obeys the command of the eunuchs, which is also unique to the Ming Dynasty!

But, no way!

The emperor's order is hard to disobey!

The military order is like a mountain!

When the army set off, Yuan Chonghuan specially told He Kegang and Zu Dashou that they must obey Wang Ergou's orders!

Even if you fight to the death of a soldier, you must protect him!

But......

The government and the opposition all know that the 45,000 Guanning Army is the only elite of the Ming Dynasty!

If this army is completely wiped out, Daming will basically be finished!

After being silent for a long time, Zu Dashou still didn't say a word.

In his opinion, the Ming army was able to occupy Xiping Fort because of Wang Li's good command!

And He Kegang was originally disgusted with eunuchs and Wang Li.

He believes that the Ming army was able to occupy Xiping Fort by pure luck!

So, you should take it when you see it!

It is best to transport all the grain, grass and ordnance in the city to Jinzhou after the Guanning Iron Cavalry of Zu Dashou is broken!

After careful consideration, He Kegang expressed his doubts:

"Princess! I only have 29,000 foot soldiers!

And, it's all light!

Not to mention the cannons, there are not even siege ladders!

How can such an army besiege a city?

How can we continue to divide our troops, and how can we attack three cities at the same time? ”

He Kegang's doubts are also Zu Dashou's worries!

Both of them glared at Wang Li and objected silently.

Wang Li doesn't understand military affairs, but he can read the map, and he can also understand He Kegang's worries!

However, he smiled confidently: "General He, I asked you to divide your troops to attack the three cities, but in fact, it was just a feint!"

As you said, when Huang Taiji learns that I have divided my forces to attack the city, he will definitely send a large army to try to defeat me!

But, I'll lay an army here! ”

Wang Li casually pointed to the valley west of Liaoyang and tapped lightly on the map.

Zu Dashou was slightly stunned, and his face was overjoyed!

"Princess, this strategy is really high! It turns out that the "encirclement and reinforcement" you are talking about is not the siege of Xiping Fort, but the use of Weiningbao, Liaoyang and Anshan as bait!

In this way, Huang Taiji will inevitably send troops to the rescue!

However, he will not be able to mobilize many soldiers and horses in a short period of time!

I ambushed a cavalry at the Sand Ridge Pass south of the Taizi River, and attacked it when it had just crossed the river and was not firmly established, and I would surely win a great victory! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! That's what I mean! ”

Wang Li nodded again and again, but in his heart, there were thousands of divine beasts galloping!

Nima!

I'm just casually saying, are you serious?

Occupying Xiping Fort and seizing the grain, grass and ordnance of the Houjin Army is really just an accident!

Huang Taiji led a large army to come, trying to retaliate, trying to annihilate the Ming army that rushed to depth, this is inevitable!

The food, grass and ordnance of Xiping Fort are sufficient, and the Ming army, which is good at defending the city, has no problem defending it for half a year!

However, winter is about to begin, and the weather is getting colder and colder!

If the siege is not overcome, Huang Taiji will definitely withdraw!

If so, how to let Wu Xiang's father and son fight?

If they don't fight, how can they borrow Huang Taiji's hand to kill him?

Therefore, using a part of the foot soldiers to feint attack the three cities, luring Huang Taiji to send troops to rescue, and then using cavalry to intercept is the best way to kill Wu Sangui!

Even if Wu Xiang wins by chance, he can kill him!

As long as he fights at a slight disadvantage, or has the slightest act of running away and cowardly, it is enough!

Just play him a copy, and you can make him copy all the door!

Hum!

Wu Xiang! Wu Sangui!

You two are dead this time!

Just now, Zu Dashou's words, He Kegang nodded again and again!

"The prince is right: I feinted to attack the three cities, and in a short period of time, there are indeed not many soldiers and horses that Huang Taiji can send!

Therefore, this ambush will not use the Guanning Iron Cavalry!

It is better to lead an army led by this general to ambush in the sand ridge pass......"

"No! Absolutely not! Wang Li was about to object, but Zu Dashou slammed the table first:

"General He! You have already made a contribution to the capture of Xiping Fort!

Could it be that you also want to rob Huang Taiji's military exploits?

There are cavalry that are not used, and ambushes with foot soldiers?

You can figure it out! ”

Zu Dashou's voice was very loud, which shocked He Kegang!

Seeing this, Wang Li hurriedly pulled away Zu Dashou, and said with a smile: "This time to lure out Huang Taiji, it should indeed be an ambush by cavalry!"

General He, yours is a foot soldier!

Is it possible to let General Zu's cavalry feint to attack the city?

How can there be such a feint?

No matter how stupid Huang Taiji is, he won't be fooled! ”

Zu Dashou said yes again and again, and Wang Li turned his head again: "General Zu, this ambush, we must send a capable general!"

I heard that General Wu Xiang under your command fought bravely, and his son was even more young and promising......"

"That's right! This ambush was led by General Ben himself! As long as Huang Taiji dares to come, he will definitely be called back! ”

"That's it! This military exploit is for you! He Kegang couldn't say anything about the two of them, so he had to nod:

"Princess, how to deploy it, you can give the order!"

Yes?

Deploy?

What deployment?

Wang Li was stunned!

Didn't you say that the infantry would feint to attack the three cities, and the cavalry would ambush them?

Roll up your sleeves and you're done, what else do you need to deploy?

What about teasing me?

However, looking at the appearance of He Kegang and Zu Dashou, they are indeed waiting for their own orders!

Hum!

I don't do what I command!

If you lose the battle, won't you be bored?

If you don't do it, if you play a book, your head will be gone!

So, don't wade into this muddy water!

"Uh...... Two generals, although I am a eunuch of the prison army, I am different from the other prison troops!

The big and small affairs in the army, the two generals can arrange them by themselves!

Everything, no need to report to me!

Yes, that's it!

You deliberate, you don't need to report! ”

Wang Li's face was sincere, He and Zu, you look at me, I look at you, I still don't believe it.

It would be great if Wang Li really didn't interfere!

As long as there is no eunuch to point fingers, and there is no "layman" to command the "insider", the two will have the confidence to win!

……

The Ming army attacked in three directions, and the news reached Shenyang, Huang Taiji was not in a hurry, but Mang Gurtai and Amin couldn't hold their breath!

Because, the Jurchens, who were originally slaves, followed the feudal system of the Central Plains Dynasty after Nurhachi established the country, and divided the city and land for the "Four Great Beylers" and "Four Little Beylers"!

At this time, Weiningbao, Liaoyang and Anshan were the fiefs of the second Bel Amin, the third Bel Mang Gurtai, and the (small) two Belle Dolgon!

At this time, the seventeen-year-old Dolgon was in the vanguard of the crusade against the Mongol Chahar tribe!

If it weren't for the sudden arrival of the Ming army, Huang Taiji would also lead the troops to the battle!

Of course, if Dolgon was in Shenyang at this time, he would be as anxious as Mang Gurtai and Amin!

"Weiningbao, Liaoyang and Anshan, each with two thousand elite soldiers garrisoned!

According to the report of the sentinel, the Ming army did not carry cannons, nor did they carry other siege equipment, how to break our city? ”

Huang Taiji was quite calm, but Mang Gurtai was not happy: "Great Khan, my wife and children are all in Liaoyang!" If the city is breached by the Ming army, they will not be spared! ”

"Say no more!" Huang Taiji suppressed the anger in his heart and continued to comfort: "The Ming army is deep, and there is an ambush on the south bank of the Prince River, I really shouldn't act rashly!"

It's freezing on this day, as long as the Ming army can't break the city within seven days, it will definitely retreat by itself!

Besides, Erbeile took 20,000 cavalry!

We stay in Shengjing, and we should be more cautious! ”

Huang Taiji's attitude was resolute, Amin gritted his teeth, and although he was displeased, he did not speak.

However, Mang Gurtai still asked for battle: "Great Khan! As the first warrior of Dajin, my wife and children are besieged but not rescued, isn't it a joke?

Great Khan, you assign me 3,000 iron horsemen, as long as the siege of Liaoyang is relieved, I will return as soon as possible! ”

"Nonsense!" Huang Taiji couldn't hold back any longer, slammed the table, and stood up on the ground:

"The Han people have a good saying, how can a big husband have no wife!

Today, the Ming army is besieging the three cities, and it is clear that it is a trap to lure the enemy, why are you still stubborn? ”

In the midst of the scolding, the corners of Mang Gurtai's mouth twitched, his eyes were blood-red, and he was almost about to burst into flames.

Amin knew Mang Gurtai's character, and fearing that the situation would escalate, quickly said some kind words and pulled him out of the main hall.

Hum!

Unreasonable!

Huang Taiji glanced at the backs of the two, his face full of contempt.

The person who can even kill his biological mother is in chaos because of a few wives and concubines, and he doesn't care about the overall situation!

"Great Khan, the messenger has come to report: The cavalry of the Ming army lying in the sand ridge pass has withdrawn!"

"Oh? Withdrawn? ”

Huang Taiji smiled slightly and picked up "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" again.

Hum!

Freezing doesn't kill you!

I knew you were going to quit!

Ice and snow, dripping into ice, how long can you lie in ambush?

For the generals, they don't even observe the time?

Bring about one's own destruction!

"Great Khan ......"

"Step aside, too!" Huang Taiji looked at Dai Shan, and then looked at the goose feather snow outside the hall: "Don't worry! The Ming army that feinted to attack the three cities will retreat in less than two days! ”

……

It's been too cold these days!

Through the crack in the door, looking outside, the king immediately hid back in the pit and covered himself tightly.

Nima!

It's really cold in the north!

The Xiaoice River period is really extraordinary!

If you hadn't captured Xiping Fort, I'm afraid that tens of thousands of Ming troops would have frozen to death!

Zu Dashou withdrew to the city, and Wang Li was very displeased.

Because, I didn't kill Wu Sangui!

But the strange thing is that He Kegang, who feinted to attack Weiningbao, Liaoyang and Anshan, has not yet returned to the city!

"Oh? Will Inspector Yuan really come? Wang Li really couldn't believe it.

"Factory Gong, when I learned that our army had captured Xiping Fort, Inspector Yuan led his troops out of the city that night! If nothing else, this should be in Youtun at this time! ”

I'll go!

This Yuan Chonghuan!

In order to attack the city and plunder the land, you don't even want your life?

Come with cannons, travel less than thirty miles a day!

When he arrived in Liaoyang, the daylily was cold!

No, he can't get to Liaoyang!

I'm afraid that more than half of them will freeze to death on the road!

"Factory father, do you want to ...... Find you a little maid to warm the bed? ”

"No need! The smell of mare's milk! It's disgusting to smell! Wang Li's face was full of contempt, and he clutched the quilt again:

"By the way, I heard...... In Liaoyang City, there are several princesses...... Forehead...... How many Fujin Gege or something, is there such a thing? ”

"Yes!"

"Oh? How does it look? Does it smell like mare's milk? ”

"This ...... It should be beautiful, and it shouldn't smell like mare's milk! ”

"Good! Very good! Wait for Inspector Yuan to capture Liaoyang, you will be the first to enter the city! Find me a few that don't smell like mare's milk! Rewards! ”

"Don't worry! Wrap it up on me! ”

Song Zhe patted his chest, his face overjoyed.

Taking advantage of the night, he led two hundred brocade guards out of the city in a hurry, and disappeared in an instant.
