Dorgon obviously still lacks a sufficient and accurate understanding of the roots of Dongjiang Town's development and growth, as well as Guo Dajing's long-sleeved skills.
Without the support of the imperial court, Dongjiang Town can still survive and will not stagnate. In other words, no matter what, Dongjiang Town will not interrupt or relax in its continuous attack on the remaining rebels.
Dorgon quickly recalled Azig's troops, but Dorgon was still worried about the safety of Shenyang.
Although it is speculated that the enemy is attacking lightly and cannot carry heavy equipment such as artillery, Shenyang City has less than 5,000 defenders, which can be said to be quite weak.
When King Khan's order was delivered to Azig as quickly as possible, he was very angry about the loss of Hupiyi. Not only did he lose his troops, but the speed of the loss made him panic.
"Since the enemy has such a weird way to break through the city wall, Liaoyang City must be in serious danger." Azig was finally convinced that the enemy had no control and was attacking Shenyang with all its strength.
Putting the order on the table, he continued: "The enemy's cavalry made a surprise attack on Fushun and has already rushed into the depths to burn, kill and destroy."
If the containment of Liaoyang City is still there, the Dongjiang Army cannot have so many troops. While advancing frontally, it can also launch interspersed long-distance attacks.
Yasiha said: "Based on this, all the enemies should be dispatched, except the navy."
Oreb's mood was a little low and he said: "Retreating to Shenyang is the only option. Our army can no longer withstand heavy casualties."
Even with the current number of troops, there is no certainty that they can successfully defeat the enemy who has penetrated deep. If there were any fewer troops, the situation would be even worse.
Azig naturally knows the priorities. Now he is no longer trying to stop the enemy from advancing north, but is instead protecting his troops from safely withdrawing from Liaodong. The tens of thousands of troops in his hands are already the last elite of Dai Jin.
"In this case, then retreat immediately and return to defend Shenyang." Azig was not worried about the enemy's pursuit. He couldn't outrun the horse with two legs, but the faster the better.
Because it is only more than sixty miles from Hupiyi to Shenyang. Even the cavalry cannot be much faster than the infantry and cannot gain much time.
Now, the situation has taken a turn for the worse. Liaoyang City's gains and losses, as a symbol of victory and defeat, have just become clear and are already out of control.
Azig knew that his brother Dorgon was eagerly waiting for him to return with his army, and then he would move north on a large scale.
The road to the north was already full of dangers. Not only did we have to deal with the interception of the enemy's cavalry that penetrated deep, but we also had to guard against the enemy's infantry pursuing them from behind.
If this decision had been made a few days earlier, why would there be any need to hold on at Hupiyi and imagine that we could annihilate or severely injure the enemies who advanced along the way? It was simply wishful thinking.
Azig felt regretful in his heart, but it was not for Dorgon's hesitation. It was for the senior Houjin officials, including himself, who always took chances and were unwilling to retreat without a fight.
The generals have already gone down to make arrangements, and there is already a commotion outside the camp, preparing to set off overnight.
Azig sat in the chair, but his face was gloomy and he sighed heavily.
If I had known that Liaoyang City would be attacked today and I would lead my troops to retreat across the Taizi River, I should have returned directly to Shenyang and started the work of moving north.
But regret is of no use. If he dug up graves at that time and fled north with his father's coffin, how many people would object, and wouldn't he himself be one of them?
………………
The fire was raging, and the crops in the fields were burning, forming a large sea of fire. Fireworks were rising from the houses, and dead bodies could be seen everywhere on the ground.
The rumble of horse hooves gradually faded away, and Sun Siguicai and his wife carried food and belongings on their backs and walked towards the distant mountains and forests with a lot of hope.
As long as they can speak fluent Chinese, even just one or two sentences, or are wearing shabby clothes and have a sallow complexion, the flying cavalry of the Dongjiang Army will let them go. In other words, the sabers will chop them down without mercy.
Whether it was a village or a manor, any place where tens of thousands of cavalry passed by would be destroyed.
Mature and imminent crops were also burned, and the captured food supplies became on-site supplies, with only a small part distributed to those escaping from slavery.
Liao people.
At that time, there were not many shaved Liao people in the Jianlu-controlled areas. But even so, Guo Dajing hoped to preserve them as much as possible and become a labor force for the reconstruction of Liaodong.
Cruel killings are inevitable, and now is not the time for mercy. Unless the Jurchens surrender voluntarily, they will be spared death.
Sun Sigui paused for a moment, a look of fear flashed across his face, and he quickly blocked his wife's sight with his body.
There were several corpses lying on the ground. Although their faces were covered with blood, Sun Sigui recognized them as the vicious Jianlu and even remembered their names. He usually treated and abused Han Chinese like them, that is, the coated slaves.
While frightened and frightened, seeing the vicious guys lying on the ground like dead dogs, Sun Sigui felt a bit of the pleasure of getting revenge.
He and his wife quickened their pace and continued to run towards the distant mountains and forests. Sun Sigui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We have to endure a few days in the mountains, and when all the Jianlu are gone, we can live a good life."
The wife was still in a frightened state, with no reaction on her thin face and just ran away quickly.
They were not the only survivors, some slaves or serfs also fled in the same direction as them.
"Four nobles." An old man turned around and saw the Suns and his wife. He couldn't help but slow down with his grandson and said, "You guys are okay too!"
Sun Sigui forced a smile, and his wife seemed to be slightly relieved, and said hello: "Uncle Zhao, Xiao Shuan."
Mr. Zhao beat his waist and said, "I didn't expect the Dongjiang Army to kill them so quickly. I thought it would take five or six years!"
Sun Sigui said: "The battle hasn't ended yet. The Dongjiang army came to kill them and then left. The Jianlu soldiers may fight again. We will suffer no matter what."
"Even if you suffer, there is a leader!" Leader Lao Zhao continued to walk with the support of his grandson, and said: "The most difficult time is over, even if Jianlu comes again, he won't be able to stay long. We hid well.
, just hide away."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jianlu's northward migration has begun. Although it is not carried out on a large scale, the villages and towns along the way have been affected, and ordinary people can also see the general outline.
These shaved-headed Liao people had very little information, and could only occasionally hear some specious news. However, they had personal feelings about the declining situation of the Jianru people.
What's more, since Huang Taiji detoured into the pass and was killed, the famine in the two years before and after made the situation in the Hou Jin ruling area increasingly worse.
These shaved Liao people who were able to survive had suffered a lot. As for whether they could survive until the war, they were both hopeful and anxious.
In fact, they are lucky to survive the killings of flying knights. This is because there are few people in the village and there is plenty of time, so flying knights will carry out screening.
Of course, the Flying Cavalry Group is now becoming more and more experienced, and they will try their best to kill innocent people without affecting their actions.
Sun Sigui nodded and said: "I estimate that it will take about ten days at most. It will be almost clear what to do."
Even though they hoped that Jianlu would be defeated and escape, no one had any confidence. They just tried their best to escape. Following the instructions of the soldiers of the Flying Cavalry, they first found a place to hide for ten and a half months.
Mr. Zhao sighed, "It's a pity that all the crops in the field were burned down."
After a pause, he added: "Oh, forget it. Even if the crops are harvested, we won't be able to eat more than a few bites."
Although Huang Taiji wanted to stabilize his rule and wanted to alleviate the conflict between the Manchus and Han, the actual situation did not allow it. Food and grass supplies were expensive and scarce, so they could only be used by the Manchus.
However, the disastrous failure of the detour to enter the pass prevented Jianlu from alleviating the impact of the great famine. After Dorgon came to the throne, he was also unable to solve this difficulty.
Therefore, the life of the shaved Liao people is still difficult and difficult. The gap with the Manchus has not narrowed, and a huge gap still exists.
Although many Shatu Liao people tried their best to escape, they still narrowly escaped death. There were still some Han people who struggled hard under the rule of Jianlu and lived day by day.
"Are you hungry, Shuanzi?" The wife took out half a piece of cake from her pocket and gave it to Shuanzi.
Women are thin, and so are their penises,
I swallowed hard when I saw the pancake. After getting my grandfather's consent, I reached out to take it and ate it with big mouthfuls.
"When we get to the front, we can catch fish in the river." Old man Zhao looked at his grandson, reached out and touched his head, and said distressedly: "We can live a good life in a few more days."
Being able to eat well is a good life. These survivors have very low requirements. They have no idea that this is just the most basic life for the people of Dongjiang Town.
At this time, the flying cavalry regiment led by Liu Xingzuo had already left for more than 20 miles and was burning, killing and destroying yet another village and town.
【In view of the general environment,
After successfully attacking Fushun and inserting themselves behind enemy lines, the Flying Cavalry regiment divided its forces and headed north.
Jianlu's defense is already very weak, and Wanqi is enough to sweep them across, without encountering a too strong enemy. Split the troops, expand the area of destruction, kill as much of the enemy's effective forces as possible, and leave as few blind spots as possible for burning, killing, and destruction.
Sancha Fort, Huabaochong Fort, Fu'an Fort, Chaihe Fort, and Liu Xingzuo have broken through four forts in succession, destroyed more than a dozen villages and towns along the way, and burned tens of thousands of acres of crops.
"Send the order to camp here tonight and set off to the north tomorrow." Liu Xingzuo looked at the sky and gave the order.
The three routes were divided into three, and they were scheduled to meet at Tieling. According to the current speed of travel, Liu Xingzuo believed that they would only be ahead of the curve and not be delayed.
In order to prepare for Shenyang Jianlu's turnaround attack, Liu Xingzuo did not want his troops to be too tired and wanted to continue to maintain the ability to fight.
"From a time perspective, it will take at least two days for Jianlu to mobilize troops to counterattack." Liu Xingzuo and deputy commander Shang Keyi said: "We must prepare for a big war in the Tieling area."
Shang Keyi nodded and said: "If we can capture Tieling, our army will have greater initiative. If not, the general will suggest that we continue to lead our troops northward and look for opportunities to fight again."
Liu Xingzuo still didn't know the news that Guo Dajing had wiped out more than 10,000 enemies in Hupiyi, so it was difficult to make an accurate judgment on the remaining troops of Jianlu.
However, when formulating a plan to intersperse long-distance attacks, Guo Dajing gave him instructions. Once Jianlu mobilized his troops and returned, the frontal attack would accelerate, striving to form a two-sided attack.
If Jianlu wanted to break into the grassland, Tieling was a necessary place. If it could be conquered, 30,000 flying cavalry would have a city wall to lean on, and they could block Jianlu head-on.
If Tieling cannot be captured easily, as Shang Keyi said, continuing to ravage the Jianlu controlled area to the north, killing and injuring his tribesmen, and destroying their supplies, will also weaken the overall strength of the Jianlu.
"As Guo Shuai analyzed, the strength of the Jianlu troops should be equal to that of our army. Even if it is more, it will not exceed much." Liu Xingzuo said slowly: "They still have to protect their troops from moving north, so they must separate.
Some people."
Looking up at the town not far away that was being besieged and plundered by flying cavalry, Liu Xingzuo continued: "As you suggested, the farther the Jianlu travel, the heavier the burden, and the more beneficial it is to our army."
The soldiers and civilians of Jianlu who moved north needed a large supply of food and grass, and the destruction of towns and crops along the way would deprive them of supplies and possibly lead to food shortages.
The tired army will become a drag on the troops, which will reduce the combat effectiveness of the Jianlu. The flying cavalry regiment will have more favorable conditions for a frontal attack.
Although Guo Dajing emphasized that there is no need to be too deliberate in taking actions based on the specific situation. But from the perspective of Liu Xingzuo and other generals, striving for the greatest victory is still their goal.
Even in the view of Liu Xingzuo and others, if they can start a decisive battle with the Jianlu who fled north, even if they wipe out all the flying cavalry, they can give Jianlu a fatal blow, it will be worthwhile.
Once the Jianlu troops suffered heavy losses, even if some Jianlu were able to escape from Liaodong, they would inevitably be attacked by the Mongolian tribes and completely destroyed.
Not to mention other tribes, even the Horqin tribe, which has the best relationship with Houjin, will most likely regard the remaining Jianlu as surrender certificates so that they can take shelter in Dongjiang Town in the future and avoid being annexed by Huduntu.
This is a means of survival for the weak, regardless of loyalty or intimacy. It even includes those Jurchen tribes that were enemies of Jianlu, such as Yehe, Hada and other tribes.
Shang Keyi stared at the front
When the sound of killings gradually subsided in the town, he said: "I will go find a secret place and bury the property captured in the past few days."
Liu Xingzuo smiled faintly, waved his hand and said, "Go!"
Although in the continuous burning, killing and looting, the losses were not large, the seizures were not small, and the number of horses and livestock was also increasing. However, in addition to food, it was still inconvenient to march with captured property.
Therefore, it is the best choice to bury the property, mark it, and draw it on the map for future excavation.
"General, the battle is over, and we are screening the Jianlu and the Han people." A messenger rushed to report, "There are some Jianlu who claim to be from the Ula tribe and are willing to perform meritorious service to redeem themselves. Please spare their lives."
Liu Xingzuo sneered and said, "Only when I am about to die do I think of what I was doing anyway."
After thinking for a long time, Liu Xingzuo pulled the horse's head and said: "Take this general over and see if these guys can perform some meritorious service and exchange their lives."
Although the differentiation and disintegration of the Jurchen tribes has been ongoing, the war has reached this level, and it is no longer that important how many people can fight.
