It is said that Jinzhou guard Zu Dashou was not only shocked when he learned that Wu Bashi and Nomqi wanted to surrender the city to the Qing Dynasty, but he also knew that once the outer city was broken through by the Qing Dynasty, the situation in Jinzhou would be in crisis, so he hurriedly summoned his subordinates
All generals, discuss the countermeasures.
However, if Wu Bashi could become a general of an army, he was no ordinary glutton. He was actually a rough and tumble man.
He left Yurun's room and went to find his confidants to arrange for the dedication of the city. Although some things were difficult to say clearly, things could be prepared in advance. After all, it was wartime, and temporary mobilization of troops and horses was common.
But he suddenly remembered that something was wrong with his beloved concubine Yurun's expression just now, and finally felt uneasy. He hurriedly made arrangements and turned around to return home.
By coincidence, he happened upon the Yurun's personal maid returning from the outside in a hurry. He was even more confused and ordered people to catch the maid and ask her where she had gone when she left the house.
Who did you meet?
The maidservant had served Yurun for many years, and although she was extremely loyal to her, she was frightened and frightened under the severe torture and interrogation. After a short time, she was frightened to the point of splitting her liver and gallbladder. How could there be any reason not to take action?
After Wu Bashi heard the whole story, he became furious. He killed the maid with one knife and ran back to the room to kill Yurun.
But when he saw Yurun with a sneer on her face, looking at him without fear, Wu Bash raised his sword and put it down again. After all, love prevailed and he couldn't bear to destroy the flower with his hands.
He just ordered people to strictly guard his beloved concubine Yurun, while he hurried out and went to Nomqi to discuss countermeasures.
When Nomqi heard that the surrender of the city had been leaked, he did not panic. He said fiercely: "The matter has come to this, and there is no hesitation. If you hesitate even a little, you and I will be dead.
At this moment, we should immediately raise fire to lure the Qing army into the city!"
Therefore, the two of them made a decisive decision. Without waiting for Zu Dashou to come to arrest him, they immediately raised fire on the city gate tower as a signal, and mobilized their Mongolian soldiers to attack the Ming army and Liao soldiers stationed in the outer city.
I saw that on the gate tower of Ningyuan Gate in the east of Jinzhou City, flames shot into the sky, and the entire outer city suddenly became filled with shouts of killing. Mongolian soldiers and Liao soldiers were fighting fiercely.
After the two of them had originally planned to dedicate the city to the Qing Dynasty, they sent people early to get in touch with the commander of the Weijin Qing Army and Prince Zheng Jierhalang, and they had agreed to open the Dongguan City Gate in the next few days.
Dedicate the city.
At this time, when Jierhalang saw the gate tower of Dongguan blazing with fire, he guessed that there was a change in the dedication of the city in Nomqi and Ubas, and he did not want to miss this opportunity.
Immediately, he discussed the decision with Dorobele Duduo, immediately summoned his Eight Banners soldiers, and rushed to the foot of Jinzhou City. They saw that although the city gate was still closed, there were people shouting for death on the top of the city, and dozens of thick cannons
Ropes hang from the city wall.
Jierhalang knew at a glance that Nomuqi and others must have been acting secretly, so that the incident was revealed to Zu Dashou and other Ming generals. The two of them hurriedly started the incident to protect themselves.
Jierhalang and Duduo immediately commanded the Qing army to climb up the rope, climb the city, and cooperate with the Mongolian soldiers. They attacked Zu Dashou's Liao soldiers from both inside and outside, and finally defeated the Ming army led by Zu Dashou and retreated to the inner city.
From then on, the Mongolian soldiers who originally guarded Jinzhou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Eighty-six officers and generals below, including men, women, and families, totaling 6,210 people, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
Jierhalang was afraid of another incident, so on the next day he moved all the Mongolian soldiers and more than 6,000 children to Yizhou for resettlement. At the same time, he also led the Qing army to withdraw from the outer city.
…………
Although the Qing army did not station troops and horses in the outer city of Jinzhou, the outer city walls were completely destroyed and its defensive function was lost.
Zu Dabi led the cavalry in advance and dispersed the Qing troops patrolling the outer city. He led Zu Zeyuan and other cavalrymen and more than 8,000 infantrymen to fight straight out. They had been trapped in Jinzhou for a long time, and now that there was a slight hope of relief, they all acted bravely.
It was easy to break through the first trench of the Tatars in the south of Jinzhou City.
Seeing how ferocious the Ming army was fighting in Jinzhou City, Dorgon did not dare to neglect him. The military situation was urgent and it was too late to mobilize troops from other places. He ordered most of the Qing troops stationed on Rufeng Mountain to immediately rush to the south of the city to intercept Zu.
The Ming Army of Dabibu.
Although this is the case, Wang Pu and Ma Ke's troops and horses have been deployed in the direction of Rufeng Mountain, and it is difficult to move the army back for a while. Therefore, the only ones Hong Chengchou can deploy at will are to supervise the Biao camp and Zhang Chengxuan's Northern Army.
Liu Zhaoji's Liaodong troops and horses are just three parts.
Although he heard Zhang Cheng's words, he also understood his eagerness to go to war to rescue Yang Guozhu's troops in Xuanzang Town.
However, he knew better that the stakes in this battle were very important, and every decision he made would greatly affect the progress of the battle. What's more, he still firmly believed in his heart that Zhang Cheng's time to fight had not yet come.
According to Hong Chengchou's judgment, he deployed troops on all sides this time, and the entire Songjin line was a battlefield. What Hong Chengchou relied on was his strong military strength.
Although the Tatars were brave and good at fighting, they were not strong enough. Even if they had a slight upper hand in a certain direction, they would not be able to annihilate any Ming army.
I heard him say in a gentle tone: "At this moment, although Yang Shuai's troops are in some danger, they still have some strength left, so they may not have to persevere. On the other hand, Dong Nu's troops are already outnumbered and his deployment is weak.
And I still have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that have not moved. This battle is really promising. Be loyal and be patient. When the time comes, I will make you gallop forward and kill the slaves in front of the battle line!"
Zhang Cheng felt anxious after hearing this, and continued: "The general also knows that what the governor said is correct. However, my subordinates and Yang Shuai's soldiers and horses are originally in Xuanzhen. If we don't save them when they are in danger, they may become slack and lose their morale in the war."
unfavorable."
Hong Chengchou still had a refined expression on his face and said calmly: "Li Fuming of Shanxi Province has not tried his best. How could he know that he could not break through the slave thieves' obstruction and rescue Yang Shuai?"
When he said this, he turned to look at Zhang Cheng, with a majestic look on his elegant face, and said in a firm and solemn tone: "I am worried about Commander Yang's safety. How could I not know this? However, Ci is not in charge of the army.
Don’t rush out before the time comes, consider the overall situation!”
Zhang Cheng was speechless for a moment. He was unable to refute Hong Chengchou's words. He looked through the telescope and saw that Yang Guozhu's troops were obviously divided into several small groups by the Tatar thieves and were tightly surrounded.
However, Li Fuming's Shanxi soldiers and horses were blocked by more than a thousand Tatar thieves riding in white armor. They were blocked a mile away. Although they were within a few arrows, it was as dangerous as a natural chasm. In the end, Li Fuming's thousands of troops were unable to overcome it.
However, Hong Chengchou's intention was also obvious. He did not not want to save Yang Guozhu, but wanted Yang Guozhu's Xuanzang troops to hold on for a while longer. When the Tatar thieves were also exhausted, he could use the army to kill them and win the battle.
As he said, "Kindness does not command troops." This was to remind Zhang Cheng not to mess up the overall situation because of personal friendships. For this battle to be successful, even if Xuanzang soldiers and horses were sacrificed, it would be inevitable.
Nowadays, Yang Guozhu's troops are like fishing bait. No matter whether they can catch big fish or not, this bait is useless!
Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but worry about Yang Guozhu's safety.
