The battle of Liaoyang City finally ended with a great victory for the Ming army.

The war was not so tragic, because after only one hour, the Jurchens withdrew.

I can't say how anxious it is, the Jurchens didn't have many casualties, and at the head of the city, most of the people killed on the battlefield were Han clothed minions, and the real Eight Banners had already withdrawn.

However, in the eyes of Zu Dashou and the generals, this is still a big victory.

You don't see, Liaoyang City is now in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Riding a horse in Liaoyang City, Zu Dale was ordered by his eldest brother to take his guards to patrol around, beware of the remnants of Jurchen in the city, and also inspect the fire points in various places in the city.

Before leaving, the Jurchens set fire everywhere in the city, although the rain was pouring down, but still caused a large number of houses and pavilions to collapse in the war, Zu Dale sent a lot of manpower to repair and patrol the city.

The battle-scorched city walls and the blood-soaked dark black earth are still the main colors of Liaoyang City, and there has been no change because of the arrival of the Ming soldiers.

At the same time, most of the Han people in Liaoyang City were also held hostage by the Jurchens, and they were driven north into Shenyang City a month in advance.

Now, back in the hands of the Ming army, Liaoyang City is actually an empty city.

"After the war, Jin suffered heavy casualties, counting the coat and soldiers, a total of more than 10,000 casualties, soldiers, war horses captured, countless, and a number of grain and grass war horses, and our army did not hurt the muscles and bones in this battle, most of the soldiers were slightly injured, only the siege army and the Pengcheng army were killed and wounded more than two percent, and the army doctors and nurses have been sent to take care of it to prevent non-combat attrition caused by plague and infection, and when attacking the west gate of Liaoyang City, General Cao Wenzhao took the lead and suffered a slight injury to his arm, and there is no major problem at present."

Zu Dashou sat in the makeshift camp tent, listening to the report of his adjutant, while writing a summary of the battle report.

Xiong Tingbi will arrive at the front line of Liaoyang City tomorrow, and Zu Dashou and others will report on the battle at that time

"Although Liaoyang City is taken, it is not to be taken lightly, there will be a big war soon, so that all departments in the army are on standby, no drinking and gambling are allowed, and at the same time prostitutes in the army are eliminated! If a prostitute is found to be drinking, he will be severely punished! ”

Zu Dashou thought about it and added: "Later, let Da Le go to comfort the wounded soldiers instead of Ben General"

"The last general obeys!"

After a while, the adjutant left, and Zu Dashou sat alone in the tent, and the noisy sound of the soldiers in the city faintly came from his ears.

Although it is expressly forbidden to drink and make noise, after a big war, it must not be too unkind.

Smacking his lips, Zu Dashou thought about it, and also felt that there was a little less taste in his mouth.

The day after the war, Xiong Tingbi's strategic guard of honor arrived at Liaoyang City early.

There was no excessive noise and notes, and as soon as he entered the city, Xiong Tingbi summoned everyone to the temporary government to discuss matters.

Yesterday's big victory made Xiong Tingbi, who received the news, unable to sleep all night, and spent almost the whole night staring at the map, planning the next movement of troops.

"In yesterday's battle, the Jurchens lost their armor, and in less than an hour, they lost Liaoyang City and left. The generals and officials are united in their lives, which really inspires the officials, makes millions of people in Liaodong happy, and reassures the saints and the imperial court! Tomorrow, the Japanese officials will play to the Holy Lord and the Imperial Court, and ask for credit for all of you! ”

Xiong Tingbi sat in the top position, the excitement on his face could hardly be hidden, as a strategic minister, he should have sat until his chest was agitated and his face was like a peaceful lake, but now with a big victory, the corners of Xiong Tingbi's mouth seemed to have been stuffed with a big banana, how could he not close it.

"In order to repay the saint on Longen, for the court to use his life, for the lord to saddle the horse before and after, the end will be equivalent to death!" Everyone in the hall stood up and saluted.

The generals summed up that most of them had a hangover last night, and their faces were red and they had never recovered from the victory.

"It's all planned by the adults, and our soldiers are just adding small things, and they all rely on the plans of the adults!" Zu Dashou, as a pioneer general, and as the first person who made the first contribution to yesterday's battle of Liaodong, first slapped Xiong Tingbi's sycophants.

"Thanks to your plan!"

"The last general is willing to be driven by the adults!"

"Master Jinglu's plan for the overall situation is far beyond the reach of the last general!!"

"The last general can't wait for the back of the adult!"

Zu Dashou was the first to speak, and for a while, the hall was full of flattery and flattery.

Even if they are saints, who can refuse such sycophants?

What's more, Xiong Tingbihu?

At this time, the face of this master was already a little red because of excitement, as if entering the pavilion to build a mansion and living in eight seats was already close at hand.

"Ahem, cough," Finally, Xiong Tingbi coughed lightly twice, suppressed everyone's compliments and praise, and began to talk about business: "However, in the final analysis, the Jurchens in this battle are not really injured, and most of the soldiers who died in the city were clothed minions and some soldiers who did not enter the flag. The Jurchens still have strength, we can't take it lightly! ”

Seeing Xiong Tingbi speak, the hall was quiet for a while.

"Taking Liaoyang City is only the first step, the next step, entering Shenyang City, driving the Jurchens out of Liaodong, chasing them from Baishan and Heishui, and chasing them from Hetuala, is the ultimate goal of this battle! Plough the court and sweep the holes, and annihilate its army! ”

"What Lord Jinglu said is," Zu Dashou nodded, and followed Xiong Tingbi's words: "The last general has been waiting for several years, almost every moment thinking about recovering Liaodong, and at the beginning of today, we will take this as the goal, drive the Jurchens to Liaodong, and destroy their clan in Hetuala!" ”

"Exterminate their race in Hetuala!"

"Exterminate their race in Hetuala!"

"Exterminate their race in Hetuala!"

With the shouting of Zu Dashou's slogan, the atmosphere in the entire hall also reached a climax.

This sentence is Zu Dashou's bold words that he thought about in the middle of the night last night, and the center of the mansion thought of words and sentences, just to show it in front of Xiong Tingbi.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!!"

This time, it was Yuan Chonghuan who got up and coughed lightly, signaling everyone to be quiet.

This deputy envoy of Liaodong and the subordinate officer of the military department looked at the soldiers in the hall a little helplessly, with some worry in his eyes: As soon as the war started, he was so arrogant. That's not a good sign!

"My lord, the next battle still needs to be deployed!" Yuan Chonghuan waited for the hall to be quiet before bowing to Xiong Tingbi: "Qin Erbao and Lu Xiangsheng, Luo Yiyi and others have led the army to enter the area of Weining Camp, and they can go north at any time to force Fengji Fort and Wujing Camp, and when our army enters the Tiger Skin Station, we can complete the encirclement of Shenyang City!" ”

"Well," Xiong Tingbi nodded slightly embarrassedly, it was obvious that this master was also carried away by the applause of the hall, but Yuan Chonghuan was still calm, and he was not carried away by the victory, this is the potential that a general must have: "What Deputy Envoy Yuan said makes sense, and we need to carefully study and judge the next tactical layout."

Qin Erbao led the army into the Weining camp, which was a strategic policy that had been set a long time ago, and the troops of Qin Erbao, Lu Xiangsheng, Luo Yiyi and others were used as a way to contain the main force of the Jurchens, so that the Chinese troops of Zu Dashou and others could quickly go north into the Hupiyi generation, and then the three armies marched together to besiege Shenyang City.

At the same time, the forces of Qin Erbao and Lu Xiangsheng can also divide Fushun and Shenyang City, turning Shenyang City into a lonely city in the true sense.

"Send a letter to Qin Erbao and Man Gui, asking them to lead their troops north on September 21, and at the same time send a small force to reconnoiter and harass Fushun, so that the Jurchens in Shenyang City will be difficult to take care of, and it is best to disperse their forces, so as to reduce the pressure on my frontal battlefield."

"At the same time, I sent a letter to Lu Xiangsheng and Luo Zhengyi, ordering him to be stationed in the Wujing camp, and sending troops to start sweeping and reconnaissance on the periphery of Shenyang City, focusing on the west side of Shenyang City, in order to confuse the soldiers and horses of Jianzhou and distract their attention."

"If the above-mentioned two strategies are properly implemented, then the situation on our battlefield is favorable to me, and the Jurchens will inevitably be unable to distinguish the direction of my main attack in a short period of time. This is the moment when our Chinese army units play a role! ”

"The most important thing is to fight together, our Chinese troops, cavalry, archers, gunners, firearms battalions, and pack horses need to attack from Hupiyi to Shenyang City within an hour, and they must create a situation of besieging Shenyang City in a short period of time."

In the conference hall, Yuan Chonghuan once again described the combat strategy to the generals, and the battle was fought together, and all parties could cooperate seamlessly and cooperate properly.

"As long as you follow the plan, this battle will be won!" Looking at the ever-evolving sand table map in the hall, Xiong Tingbi, who was sitting at the top, was full of confidence and pride in his eyes.

———

Woowoo!!

Inside and outside the city of Shenyang, drums and trumpets whimpered.

These days, on the front line of Shenyang City and Fushun, the Eight Banners are constantly transferring troops.

The decision of the Council of Ministers of the Council of Ministers of the King of Parliament and the Ministers of the Council of the People's Republic of China that more than 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners were all shrunk back to Shenyang City, and the troops were concentrated at one point and no longer divided into troops.

And the original soldiers and horses of Fushun, even the troops composed of soldiers and clothed minions with low combat effectiveness, have now all been withdrawn to Shenyang City.

For a time, the entire Shenyang City had gathered almost all the elite troops of the Eight Banners.

Prince Li's mansion of Daishan.

"Your Majesty Wei Qi greets the prince!"

Wei Qi, the deputy commander of the Zhenglan Banner and who had withdrawn from Liaoyang City, was summoned by Dai Shan for questioning early this morning.

"How did you rest last night?" Dai Shan asked as he repaired an orchid flower in the yard.

"If you go back to the prince, the minister eats well and sleeps well!" Wei Qi did not have any guilt or distress because of the loss of Liaoyang City, and his face was still peaceful.

"Yes, it's great to have this state of mind! It can be a big deal! Dai Shan nodded with satisfaction: "Don't be hurt by the attacks of some people and the gossip of people who don't know the facts, and don't care, those who become big things are not informal, how can ordinary people know what the superior is planning?" ”

"Thank you for your enlightenment!" Wei Qi stood not far behind Dai Shan, and saluted again.

"What do you think my Jurchens have a chance of winning this battle?" With a click, the scissors in Dai Shan's hand kept pruning the extra branches and leaves of the flower clusters, and his eyes were serious and focused.

"Three days ago, it was less than thirty percent, but now it looks like seventy percent!" Wei Qi barely hesitated and replied.

"Let's talk about it," Dai Shan nodded slightly, allowing Wei Qi to explain.

"The key lies in Liaoyang City," Wei Qi explained: "The loss of Liaoyang City is insignificant to our army, our troops and elites have not lost much, and for the Ming army, its scattered forces attack Liaoyang City on the one hand, and on the other hand, they want to contain me from other directions." ”

"Huh?" Dai Shan stopped his movements and waited for his next sentence.

"The division of troops on the battlefield is a taboo for soldiers!" Wei Qi's lips and teeth opened and closed, and he explained the reason.

In fact, the difference between the strategic focus of the Jurchen and the Ming Dynasty lies here.

One is to besiege on all sides and take a point.

One is to concentrate forces and take one place directly.

Liaoyang City is not in the eyes of Dai Shan and the Jurchens.

What's more, Fushun?

And what about Hetuala?

Even, as long as the Jurchen elite is still there, there is nothing to lose in Shenyang City.

In the eyes of Xiong Tingbi and others, the attitude of the battlefield city is completely different.

Liaoyang City is very important, and it is the first important town in Liaodong.

The city of Shenyang is very important, and this is where the Jurchen troops are stationed.

Fushun is very important, this is the throat connecting Hetuara and Shenyang City.

Hetuala, the place where the Jurchens arose, must be valued by it and will be exterminated.

Different attitudes and different strategic perspectives have led to different judgments on the situation.

"I've discussed with several other princes, Hupiyi, you are the vanguard, fighting against the Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty's ancestor Dashou, on the one hand, to compensate you for the loss of guarding Liaodong, and on the other hand, to save some reputation for you, how about it?" Dai Shan was silent for a long time before asking.

"The minister will never live up to the love of the prince!" Wei Qi did not hesitate and directly took this military order.

"The blue flag, the red flag, and the white flag are all led by you!" Dai Shan finally put down the scissors in his hand and threw them to the minions on the side, then turned around and faced Wei Qi: "Do you have confidence?" Have a seat. ”

"Cavalry combat, the last general is confident, and the Jurchen Eight Banners are invincible in the world!" Wei Qi's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and yesterday's abandonment of Liaoyang City, although it was part of the strategic planning, it still made Wei Qi unwilling!

Zu Dashou, a general of the Ming army, is also worthy of seizing the city under my blue flag?

In the face of the anti-Liaodong cavalry, Wei Qi felt that there was no possibility of losing.

"You just said that now you are seventy percent sure," Dai Shan sat on the stool, took the handkerchief handed by the servant and wiped his hands, before asking, "Where is the accident of Sancheng?" ”

Well.

After pondering for a while, Wei Qi spoke: "Your Majesty thinks that this battle must be resolved quickly, and the thunderous momentum will directly defeat the main force of the Ming army, so that it will directly lose the ability to continue fighting, which is the top priority!" ”

Dai Shan looked at Wei Qi, wanting to hear what he said next.

cough, coughing lightly twice, Wei Qicai continued:

"If it is delayed for a long time, then the Ming court will send Wang Qi to Liao to preside over major affairs. It will be very bad for me. ”

Hearing that person's name, Prince Li's eyes shrank suddenly, and painful memories came directly to his heart, and he subconsciously said: "Don't wait for Wang Qi to go to Liao, this battle must be resolved quickly, without delay!" ”
