Chapter 106: The Siege of the Great Ling River

The Guanjin defense line built by Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan has long been studied by Wang Li.

When these two men ran Liaodong, they both adopted the strategy of "steady defense and encroachment step by step".

Relying on the narrow strip between the Yanshan Mountains and the sea, he first guarded the Shanhaiguan Pass and marched to Ningyuan;

Then, defend Ningyuan and march to Jinzhou;

At present, Jinzhou City is solid, and it is natural to march into the Daling River;

When the wall of the Daling River is built, as long as the grain and grass are sufficient, under the deterrence of the cannons in the city, thousands of Ming troops can hold here;

In this way, the Guanjin defense line had an additional barrier, and the battle line also advanced to the Liaohe Plain;

Next, as long as the troops are sufficient, as long as there are enough cavalry and artillery, it is a matter of time before the Guanning army recaptures Xipingbao and Shenyang.

Therefore, even if Huang Taiji tries his best to make the coffin, he can't let the Ming army gain a foothold in the Daling River!

In fact, the construction of Dalinghe City is already the third time!

The first two were built under the auspices of Yuan Chonghuan.

It's a pity that the Ming army is weak, the Eight Banners are too strong, and the battle line is too profound!

Those two constructions were unsuccessful!

At this time, Huang Taiji besieged the Daling River, and Cao Wenzhao rushed to the rescue, in addition to wanting to make meritorious contributions, he also wanted to repay Sun Chengzong's kindness.

However, he had to listen to Wang Li's dispatch!

At the moment when he did not receive the edict and evacuated Shaanxi without authorization, he had no way out!

can only be attached to Wang Li!

What Cao Wenzhao can be sure of is that his choice is not wrong!

Because, Zu Dashou dared to disobey the king's order, and Wang Li also dared!

He received the edict and waited slowly for more than a month!

Zhu Youzhen not only did not blame, but gave a reward!

At this time, in the Ming Dynasty, except for Zu Dashou and Wang Li, who can be so good?

Of course, being Wang Li's part is definitely better than following Zu Dashou!

At least, don't worry about food, grass, military salaries and armor!

Really don't worry!

In the more than half a year that he has followed Wang Li, he has received more silver than the sum of the past ten years!

Moreover, for every Eight Banners soldier killed by the "Iron Armor Brocade Guard", the soldier who killed the enemy could get a reward of fifty taels of silver!

Generals at all levels and soldiers who kill the enemy can also make their own proportions, and then divide another fifty taels!

Soldiers who are wounded or killed in battle will have a bereavement pension ranging from 300 to 800 taels!

No matter what, the parents, wives and children of the soldiers' families can be guaranteed food and clothing!

With such sophisticated equipment and such generous treatment, how could a sergeant not die to the death?

At this moment, the Eight Banners between Jinzhou and the Daling River are like 20,000 golden dolls!

It makes people's eyes straight and drool!

It is foreseeable that when this "ironclad brocade guard" encounters the Eight Banners, he will rush forward as if he was dying!

They all want to be rewarded for their meritorious service, and no one will be afraid of death!

Moreover, with iron armor, how can it be so easy to die?

At this moment, Cao Wenzhao was in a hurry to get the golden doll, but Wang Li had his own little Jiujiu!

He never thought of plotting to usurp the throne, but he had to leave a way back for himself!

As long as you have this cavalry, you can be as arrogant as Zu Dashou!

Zhu Youzhen, he didn't dare to touch himself!

Of course, playing heavy cavalry is too special to burn money!

If you are accidentally lost, millions of silver will be lost!

I don't have a life-saving talisman yet!

If you want to form another cavalry, I'm afraid you will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey!

Moreover, those soldiers, one by one, are all drooling!

This posture is really scary!

If they really rushed forward and really wiped out the 20,000 Eight Banner soldiers, the reward alone would be 4 million taels!

Add to that the pensions of the dead and wounded, and that's not seven or eight million?

In the past few years, almost a quarter of the net worth earned by lifting the head has gone!

Can it not hurt?

So, knowing that Huang Taiji was fighting for reinforcements at the encirclement point, why did he hit his gun?

"General Cao, quickly lead the soldiers and horses into Jinzhou City and assist Sun Ge Lao to defend this city!

Without the order of Xichang, you must stick to the city, and you must not go out of the city to fight! ”

"Whoa!"

……

Cao Wenzhao led the troops first, but Wang Li slowly marched towards Shanhaiguan.

Oh, I almost forgot that the supply of food and grass must be guaranteed!

The current Cao Wenzhao no longer belongs to the Guan Ning Army!

Sun Chengzong's old man, he won't let him go hungry, right?

Well, probably not!

This old man has a big picture and won't be so stingy!

Besides, Cao Wenzhao is eating the food of the household department, not the private food of his old man!

Da Ling River, Da Ling River!

By the way, I almost forgot about Phi Dao!

At this moment, the main force of Huang Taiji is in Daling River!

If Mao Chenglu of Phi Island took the opportunity to attack Shenyang......

"Factory father, there's no hope!" Song Zhe shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Back then, when General Mao was still there, he could still suppress the ruffian on Phi Island;

As soon as Mr. Mao left, Phi Island was all in chaos!

What is certain is that Mao Youjie and Mao Yongshi have defected to Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai;

On Phi Island, I guess there are no more people! ”

"Mao ...... Mao Youjie? Wang Li frowned, and Song Zhe quickly changed his words: "Mao Yongshi's real name is Kong Youde, and Mao Youjie's real name is Geng Zhongming!" ”

Yes?

Scold!

It's a no-brainer!

These two traitors have finally found you!

See if I don't kill you!

Denglai, Denglai, Dengju City......

I'm going, isn't it the Penglai section of the Shandong Peninsula!

Governor Denglai, it seems, is not under the jurisdiction of the old man Sun of Jiliao!

If Sun Yuanhua of Dengzhou City wants to send troops to Dalinghe, an edict from the Ministry of War should be needed!

At this time, the military department is still in the book, it seems to be Liang Tingdong!

Yes, that's him!

Shen Yongmao before him was dismissed and investigated!

"Come on, quickly send the information of the army of the Great Ling River to the Long Live Lord!

Just say...... Let's just say that the "Iron Armor Jinyi Guard" is rescuing at full speed, but there are 100,000 people in Jiannu, and they urgently need the help of defenders from all walks of life! ”

Hum!

Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming!

You're a little one, you're going to die this time!

……

Ningyuan City.

The information of Da Linghe came one after another, and it was exactly the same as Wang Li expected: Huang Taiji was indeed encircling the point to send reinforcements!

He was afraid of the artillery of the Ming army and never attacked the Daling River!

Instead, relying on his strong cavalry, he dug a circle of trenches around Dalinghe City, and then guarded the trenches with cavalry!

Such an "encirclement point", even if the Ming army temporarily repelled the Eight Banners, it would be difficult to send reinforcements and grain and grass in!

And Zu Dashou in Dalinghe City only has 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and it is difficult to break through!

And there were more than 20,000 people in the city who built the city!

The daily consumption of grain and grass is huge!

The worst thing is that the position of Da Linghe is too protruding!

Grain and grass are transported from the direction of Shanhaiguan, the road is far away, and it is extremely inconvenient!

The city's existing food stock is only enough for ten days at most!

Until now, the Eight Banners have besieged the city for seven days!

If there is no rescue, the Daling River will be captured sooner or later!

If you send troops to rescue, Huang Taiji just can't ask for it!

Because, the Eight Banners are not good at attacking cities, but they are good at field battles!

Huang Taiji's encirclement and reinforcement is an excellent strategy to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses!

"Factory Gong, after the Daling River was besieged, the defenders of Jinzhou and Songshan went to the rescue as soon as possible, but they were easily repelled by Jiannu!

At present, my 40,000-strong army is being assembled, and it will be set off for the Daling River in the near future! ”

Look at Wang Li, Sun Chengzong wanted to speak and stopped.

He didn't like the eunuchs in the army very much, but he was powerless to oppose it.

Right now, 10,000 iron horsemen are in Jinzhou!

If it is carefully planned and the infantry cavalry cooperates closely, Zu Dashou in the city will kill in time and the possibility of repelling the Eight Banners is very large!

However, this cavalry is a "brocade guard" wearing iron armor!

Not to mention Sun Chengzong, the commander of Jiliao, even Liang Tingdong, the secretary of the military department, has no right to dispatch!

Sun Chengzong had the intention of borrowing the "Iron Armor Brocade Guard", Wang Li naturally knew it, but he deliberately pretended not to know, and said with a light smile:

"I'm only here to help build the Daling River, not to supervise the army!

I won't meddle in the affairs of the army, and I won't play to the Lord Banzai at will!

So, there is no need to tell me about the affairs of the army!

Please also ask Sun Ge Lao not to have any worries, quickly mobilize troops and horses, and quickly solve the siege of the Daling River! ”

In this case, Sun Chengzong naturally did not believe it.

Gritting his teeth, he was about to mention the matter of borrowing troops, but Wang Li strode away.

Not long after, a guard came to report: "Inspector Sun, the factory man led more than ten horses out of the east gate and went to Jinzhou!" ”

"That's it! Go as planned!

Order General Zhang and Song General Soldiers to gather soldiers and horses, prepare chariots, and rescue Daling River as soon as possible! ”

……

Wang Li did go to Jinzhou!

Its purpose is naturally to keep an eye on Cao Wenzhao and prevent him from going out of the city at will!

Because, between Jinzhou City and the Daling River, there are 20,000 cavalry of Azig!

Forty miles away from the Daling River, there are also 40,000 cavalry of Huang Taiji!

If you charge with all your might, you can kill in a maximum of an hour!

Therefore, if Cao Wenzhao rashly kills, it is not a matter of one against two!

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

Moreover, the Ministry of War has issued an edict asking Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, to obey Sun Chengzong's dispatch!

At this time, it is still unknown whether Dengzhou City has sent reinforcements, and whether Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming are among the reinforcements!

If you miss this great opportunity and want to kill these two traitors, I'm afraid it won't be so easy!

Of course, if he was sent to supervise the construction of the Daling River, if he lost the city or lost his troops, it would not be easy to explain!

If you don't have to confess, you don't have to confess!

Big deal, run away with your own cavalry!

As long as there is silver, Cao Wenzhao and his soldiers will follow him without hesitation!

So, nothing to be afraid of!

Well, that's the worst-case scenario!

In the case of their own advantage, in the case that the number of casualties can be controlled, the "Iron Armor Brocade Guard" can still attack!

If you can defeat Huang Taiji, or kill him by luck, even if the court doesn't have a reward, you can make a few more years!

These days, everything is fake!

Only the silver of white flowers is real!

"Uh...... How many soldiers and horses are there in Jinzhou City? Who is the castle guard? ”

"Factory Gong: According to Cao Zongbing and Sun Gelao, there are still 4,000 foot soldiers left in Jinzhou City, and there is enough grain and grass;

The guard general in the city is Qiu Hejia, the imperial envoy of the right capital and the governor of Ningyuan!

Although this person was born in Wenju, he liked to talk about soldiers, and he also participated in the rebellion to quell An Bangyan;

When Ma Shilong was the commander-in-chief of Shuntian, Qiu Hejia served as his supervisor;

In the battle of Sun Ge Lao to recover the four cities in Guannei, Qiu Hejia was still stubbornly killed by two arrows in his body, and was given a golden plaque of "Emperor Leaning on the Great Wall" by Long Live Lord!

It's just that I heard that ...... Qiu Hejia has many discords with Sun Chengzong and Zu Dashou......"

Speaking of this, seeing Wang Li waving his hand, Song Zhe quickly shut up.

At this time, Wang Li seemed to remember something!

In a documentary he watched, among the statues of Ming army generals who had meritorious service in protecting the city of Shanhaiguan, there seemed to be Qiu Hejia!

But there is no Yuan Chonghuan!

Yes, no mistake!

In this way, Qiu Hejia should be very good!

"How old is this Ningyuan Governor Qiu Hejia?"

"This ...... Not so clear! It looks like it's about sixty or so! ”

I'll go!

Already in your 60s?

Can you still eat?

Wang Li was so anxious that he almost squirted!

In history, how come none of the several Ming army generals I know are reliable?

I heard that Hong Chengchou is very capable of fighting, but unfortunately he became the second minister!

Sun Chengzong is eloquent, but unfortunately he is getting old!

Qiu Hejia has a statue, he should be a hero, why is he over sixty?

Yuan Chonghuan, who is a little younger, did not end well!

The younger Wu Sangui has been defeated repeatedly, and finally the switch is cleared!

Uh, he'll never have a chance to switch on surrender again, so I won't mention him!

Alas!

Zhu, this kid, it's really hard enough!

It's just that there is no money for disaster relief, and when you encounter internal and external enemies, there are no elite soldiers and strong generals!

There's no one to help him turn the tide!

No wonder his Ming is dying!
