In September of the 11th year of Chongzhen, war broke out in the Northeast again, and the Qing army invaded in large numbers. Huang Taiji had been planning for several years and finally put it into action!
Emperor Chongzhen was in a hurry and summoned the general troops of Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi to guard the capital. At the same time, he also gave Xuan and the Great Governor Lu Xiang the title of Fang Baojian and ordered reinforcements from all over the world!
On September 22, the Qing army divided into two groups and advanced to Qiangziling, Qingshankou, and Mingji. The governor of Liao Dynasty, Wu Aheng, and the general Lu Zongwen were defeated and died, while the lieutenant general Zheng Xizhao fled. The Qing army then marched straight in, and the soldiers
Settled in Niulan Mountain!
At this time, Lu Xiangsheng's father died. Lu Xiangsheng was supposed to return to his hometown to be the father of his father Ding You, but because of this, he could not do so. Emperor Chongzhen recruited the generals Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, Hu Dawei and other troops to defend the capital, and the capital was under full martial law!
Emperor Chongzhen ordered Xuanda Governor Lu Xiangsheng to lead his troops to Yizhou to resist the Qing army. At the same time, he frequently mobilized the Ming army. He ordered the Shaanxi governor Sun Chuanting to leave Tongguan and send reinforcements to the east. He ordered the Shandong governor Yan Jizu to station troops in Dezhou to prevent the Qing army from going south.
At the same time, the troops from Denglai, Tianjin and Qingzhou were ordered to attack from the east in an attempt to encircle the Qing army!
However, under the command of Dorgon and others, the Qing army moved very quickly. Starting from November, the Qing army led troops to Keliang Township, Zhuozhou, and Gaoyang. Among them, between Gaoyang, the young master Sun Chengzong and his family went to fight, and there were continuous fierce battles.
After a few days, he was finally defeated. Sun Chengzong's six sons, two nephews, and more than a dozen grandsons were all killed in the battle. More than ten members of his family, old and young, died, and they were all executed by the Qing soldiers!
In December, the supervisor Lu Xiangsheng defeated Julu and died in battle! At this time, the supervisor Gao Qiqian was sitting at the pass, and Ning Chong's troops were close to Jize, fifty miles away, but they refused to rescue him. When Gao Qiqian heard about Lu Xiangsheng's defeat, he
He was immediately panicked. His first thought was not to fight, but to escape. He actually led the Ming Dynasty's most elite Guan Ning Army to retreat twenty miles eastward, but was ambushed by the Qing Army. He was defeated and fled for his life alone.
When Liu Yuliang, the counselor who asked himself to supervise the military situation, went to Baoding and heard about the defeat, he retreated into Jinzhou in panic and did not dare to fight. The Qing army immediately took advantage of the victory and marched straight in. They fell into Changping, Baodi, Pinggu and other places.
At this point, facing the menacing Qing army, Ming Dynasty had completely lost the initiative and could only stick to the city, like a lamb at the mercy of others!
After that, the Qing army also slowed down its offensive pace and divided into two groups. One group was led by General Yangwu Yue Tuo, which entered from Hebei, conquered Bazhou, Hengshui and other county towns, and entered Henan. The main force of the other group was
Under the personal command of Prince Rui Dorgon, they entered Shandong!
…………
Snowflakes were flying in the sky, it was already the twelfth lunar month, and the weather was already very cold.
In the Nancheng camp, Liu Ruyi stood upright, like an ice sculpture, letting the wind and snow pass over his face, while his eyes were fixed on the three thousand soldiers who were training hard!
The dark clouds of war cover the sky and the sun, like a huge boulder weighing hundreds of millions of kilograms, which makes people unable to breathe!
Although Liu Ruyi has five hundred years of experience and knowledge beyond this time and knows the direction of history, he is now just a small guerrilla general. Facing the surging force of hundreds of thousands of Manchu and Qing Eight Banners troops, he still seems a bit awkward.
Weak!
"You are still too weak! If you have a hundred thousand elites in your hands, how can you allow these uncivilized wild boar skins to run wild in this land!"
"Rights! Rights! Only by mastering greater rights and training more elite soldiers can we have a chance to change the history dripping with the blood of countless Han people!" Liu Ruyi clenched her fist tightly, biting her teeth hard.
Rattling!
‘It’s hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words!’ What should have happened has already happened. Apart from facing it, is there any better choice?
Try to grasp everything you can control, this is the most important thing!
Taking a deep breath of air conditioning, Liu Ruyi forced herself to calm down!
"Report~~~~~~!" At this time, a fast horse galloped over, and a messenger dismounted and quickly knelt down in front of Liu Ruyi, "Report to the general, the governor has issued an urgent order, ordering the general to lead his troops.
, rush to Dezhou immediately to join the governor to prevent the Qing army from going south! "
As early as the end of October, Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, had already moved his troops to Dezhou. Beicheng guerrilla general Xiang Min moved westward to Linqing. However, Liu Ruyi's troops were not noticed by Yan Jizu because they were a newly formed "miscellaneous army", so they were able to
Stayed in Jinan City!
Liu Ruyi nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Go, take this brother down, wait for him with good wine and meat, please be patient!"
"Yes!" The soldiers around him responded quickly, "Brother, please come this way!"
"General, general, you haven't sent a reply yet? The governor is still waiting for a report from his humble position!" the messenger said hurriedly.
"Haha, I already know in my heart, brother, don't worry, there will be a reply soon!" Liu Ruyi said with a smile.
The messenger felt relieved and walked quickly towards the military camp outside the school grounds, following behind the soldiers.
Liu Ruyi looked at his back, but her face gradually turned cold! "Going to Texas? Are you going to hold the child?"
At present, except for the more than 600 Dengzhou soldiers who have just been transferred from Dengzhou Prefecture, Liu Ruyi's own army is the only one guarding Jinan City. If he leaves, wouldn't history repeat itself?
In the past few months, Liu Ruyi had taken all the family members of the military households in Caishi Town to Jinan City and temporarily settled them outside the Nancheng Camp. Liu Hanyi had also purchased countless grains and hoarded them all.
At the foot of Qianfo Mountain, not only Liu Ruyi, but the entire Liu family in Licheng has already been tightly entangled with Jinan City!
Flesh and blood are connected, how can Liu Ruyi not be able to distinguish priorities?
As for Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, let him go wherever it is cooler!
"Brother, the governor has urged us several times. Besides, Dezhou City is also closer to the front line. Where should we go, maybe there will be better opportunities?" Huo Lang said.
Liu Ruyi turned to look at him and slowly shook her head, "I have a plan in mind for this matter! Anyone who dares to discuss it will be killed without mercy!"
…………
Under Dezhou City, dust and smoke billowed, flags were fluttering, and tens of thousands of elite cavalry surrounded the north gate of Dezhou City!
In the middle of the army, a young general wearing silver armor, a silver helmet, and a yellow belt tied around his waist glanced at the towering city wall, smiled with disdain, and said arrogantly: "Brother, we are still waiting.
What! Just rush up, rush into the city, and kill these lowly mud bastards! I heard that the Jinan City in front is the territory of the Ming Dynasty lord. When the time comes, we will rush in. Good stuff, brother
, you have to leave it to my brother first!"
After he finished speaking, he smiled ambiguously at a general wearing gold-trimmed armor next to him.
The general also smiled slightly, but he was not angry. Instead, he said dotingly: "Don't worry, Duduo! Everything my brother promised you is here!"
After he finished speaking, he gently pointed at his heart.
"Hahaha! My brother is the best to me!" Duduo couldn't help laughing loudly, "Rao Yubeile, Prince Yingwu, I have agreed in advance that you are not allowed to rob me!"
On the side, Rao Yubeile Abatai couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Although he was also a bloodline of Taizu Nurhaci, and was good at fighting and had made great military exploits, but because he was a commoner, he was not trusted by Huang Taiji, and even, even
Not to mention Dorgon, who was more than ten years younger than him and was twenty years old, Duduo had been named a prince, but he was still just a Baylor. Huang Taiji thought that he was brave, so he deliberately added the word "Rao Yu" in front of him.
Show favor!
Abatai couldn't tell how he felt about the two brothers in front of him. However, maybe he had been used to being cold-eyed since he was a child. He had already thought about it and didn't say much. He just treated Duduo kindly.
Smiled.
On the side was Prince Azig of Yingwu County. Although he was a sibling with Dorgon and Duduo, his relationship with the latter two was not very harmonious. With a gloomy face, he nodded and accepted the title!
At this time, several sentry scouts from afar came galloping towards me. The leader quickly dismounted and knelt down, "Returning to Prince Rui, another reinforcement from the Ming army has arrived. There are about three thousand people. Looking at the flags, it seems to be coming from
Ni Chong, the commander-in-chief of Shandong, is personally in charge!"
Dorgon nodded, waved his hand, and signaled the sentry to retreat. He turned to several generals and said, "It seems that the Ming army is planning to defend to the death!"
"Brother, what can they do if they stick to their defense? As soon as the elite of my army comes out, they will be wiped out immediately! Brother, I am willing to be the vanguard and win this city for my brother!" Thinking of what my brother promised me,
Duduo was a little excited. He picked up the reins of his horse and hurried to the front of the formation, asking Dorgon to fight.
"Fifteenth brother, don't be impatient! Seventh brother has experience here, let's hear what seventh brother has to say?" Dorgon smiled and waved to Duduo, then turned to look at Abatai who was aside.
It's not that Dorgon doesn't want to attack the city as soon as possible, but, together with his own Zhengbai Banner, the accompanying Mongolian tribes, armored slaves, coated slaves, plus the new army attached to North Korea, Dorgon's total military strength is also
But it was only a little over 30,000, and he didn’t want to lose his manpower easily!
Although the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were all brave and good at fighting and had superb martial arts, they had one biggest weakness, which was that their number was very small, even rare. Every death of one person would make these generals heartbroken!
At this time, although Huang Taiji was in his prime, his health was not very good, and he felt vaguely shaky!
Thinking of the fat man who weighed more than three hundred kilograms, Dorgon couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He was really powerless against Huang Taiji!
But for the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, Dorgon never gave up hope for a moment. He even dreamed that he would step on the fat man and take back the beloved woman.
Everything that originally belonged to you!
The dream is perfect, but the reality is too cruel! Some things, even Dorgon, this immortal hero, are a little helpless!
"Prince Rui, this city is strong. If we try to attack it by force, I'm afraid the gains will outweigh the losses! Based on my experience, the Ming army still has a certain fighting capacity in defending the city! However, this road is blocked, so we can go elsewhere!"
Batai looked at the city wall high in the distance and said slowly.
"Haha, Rao Yubeile's words are very kind and they are exactly what I want!" Dorgon smiled and nodded.
