Huang Taiji personally visited the battlefield, and the morale of the Qing army was greatly boosted. Everyone was risking their lives, hoping to gain wealth in front of their master. The situation in Shimen Mountain that had been entangled for nearly two days suddenly became clear!
As the fresh troops under Dorgon, Shi Tingzhu and others joined the battle, the Ming army was obviously beginning to lose. After suffering more than 2,000 casualties, Hu Dawei, Wu Sangui, Wang Tingchen, Cao Bianjiao and others reluctantly retreated.
Shimen Mountain, fleeing in panic towards the main camp of the Ming army!
The Qing army cheered instantly!
But they did not pursue and kill the defeated Ming army generals. Instead, they cheered and celebrated at the pass of Shimen Mountain, enjoying the joy of the victor!
But looking at the Ming army's side, it's a completely different scene!
"We have an army of more than 100,000, but we can't even take down a small Shimen Mountain. If you take the emperor's salary, you should share your worries for the emperor! But now, in such a situation, Governor Hong, what should we do? What should we do?
How can we live up to the emperor's trust and love! We..." In the Ming army camp, Zhang Ruoqi was like a croaking duck in heat, pacing back and forth, his face full of anger, chattering and complaining endlessly!
Hong Chengchou's face was expressionless, his eyes closed tightly, as if he was asleep, without any response!
On the side, Wu Sangui, Hu Dawei, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen and others also lowered their heads and did not even look at Zhang Ruoqi, letting her complain like a resentful woman!
"Before leaving the capital, the emperor repeatedly told me that in the Liaodong situation, we must be cautious and fight quickly! But the emperor and the court have spent so much money, food, and energy, but now they can't even manage a small
Shimen Mountain has left us helpless? Is this? Governor Hong, you have to say something! If this continues, how on earth are we going to communicate with the emperor and the court!"
Seeing that Zhang Ruoqi could not get a response from Hong Chengchou and the generals, he couldn't help but feel more and more annoyed. He walked straight to Hong Chengchou, spitting on Hong Chengchou's face, and complained loudly and endlessly!
Cao Bianjiao couldn't help it anymore, "Master Supervisor, the current situation is like this, the Qing army is so brave, I, Ming'erlang, have tried my best, and killed and injured thousands of people. Yang Shuai is still unconscious until now! Brothers are all
We have tried our best, what else do you want me to wait for? Is it possible that you are satisfied if we all risk it all and repeat the mistakes of Saarhu?"
"You~~~! General Cao, what do you mean? You are depriving me of my Ming Dynasty salary. This major military matter is your responsibility! Is it possible that you still have to escape?" Zhang Ruoqi couldn't help but get angry and pointed.
Cao Bianjiao's face shouted loudly!
"You~~!" Cao Bianjiao's face turned red with anger, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and his strong body was trembling slightly!
He is a martial artist and a talker, how can he outshine Zhang Ruoqi, who was born in Jinshi Department?
After Zhang Ruoqi's big hats came down, Cao Bianjiao had no way to refute!
"Master Supervisor, the Qing army is powerful and the Eight Banners soldiers are brave. General Cao is right! If it is hard, we may not have a chance of winning!" Wu Sangui couldn't help it anymore. He stood up and defended Cao Bianjiao.
road.
"Wu Junmen, having said that, this battle must still be fought, right? The situation has reached such a situation that Jinzhou City is in danger. The emperor and the cabinet ministers are all paying attention to the battle situation in Liaodong. We must get it as soon as possible.
We need to come up with a charter, we can’t just sit here and wait for death, right?”
The Wu family is the local leader in Liaodong, and Wu Sangui is the most powerful general in this army. Zhang Ruoqi did not dare to treat him like he did to Cao Bianjiao, but his dissatisfaction was very obvious in his words!
"What the Lord Supervisor said is absolutely true! However, it is up to you and Governor Hong to decide the specifics!" Wu Sangui sneered slightly, lowered his head and cupped his hands at Zhang Ruoqi.
"..." Zhang Ruoqi received Wu Sangui's cold face and couldn't help but feel even more angry. He looked at Hong Chengchou aside and said, "Director Hong, you still have to say something about this!"
Hong Chengchou's tightly squinted eyes opened slightly, and he glanced at the generals, "Stop arguing! Arguing won't solve the problem!"
He slowly stood up, walked to the huge map of Liaodong behind him, and slowly stared at the map for a long time, "This battle was all due to the unfavorable planning of this governor, which caused our army to fail to win the first battle!
Lord Supervisor, I will personally report this matter to the Emperor and explain the key points! You all, there is no need to worry!"
"Director Hong is wise!" Seeing that Hong Chengchou was actually willing to take the responsibility for the defeat, Zhang Ruoqi couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly flattered him.
"Hong Du, this..."
Cao Bianjiao couldn't help but change his face. Just when he was about to speak, Hong Chengchou waved his hand, "Don't say anything! As the governor of Jiliao, it is my responsibility to win this battle. You don't have to worry!"
However, I can bear the responsibility, but this battle must be fought! In the current situation, the Qing army has taken the initiative. If we, the Ming Dynasty, want to attack by force again, it will be very difficult! Generals, what will happen next?
Bureau, does any of you have any good ideas?"
After Hong Chengchou finished speaking, he glanced at the generals one by one!
Wu Sangui pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "Director Hong, the Qing reinforcements have arrived so quickly! General Yi Mo can see that it is very likely that the slave chief Taiji is here in person! If this is really the case, the morale of the Qing army will definitely be high.
But our army has not yet taken the Shimenshan Fortress. The future battle situation may be extremely dangerous! According to the general's humble opinion, at present, Jinzhou City has high walls and thick walls, and the Qing army may not be able to capture it for a while!
The most dangerous thing is that it is our side! Now, what we should pay most attention to is to stabilize the war situation on our side first and ensure that nothing happens along Songshan. The future situation still needs to be considered in the long term!"
Hong Chengchou nodded, what Wu Sangui said was exactly what he wanted!
The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step!
More haste less speed!
In the current situation, the Ming army has lost its most important opportunity. It is no longer possible to go all out and effect the siege of Jinzhou as planned before the war!
If we continue to advance so rashly, I am afraid that not only will we not be able to break the siege of Jinzhou, but we will be trapped in it!
The reason why Huang Taiji was besieging Jinzhou was because he besieged it instead of attacking it. His biggest motive was here!
On this point, Hong Chengchou will definitely not go as he wishes!
"What General Wu said makes sense! Lord Supervisor, what do you think?" Hong Chengchou glanced at Zhang Ruoqi and said.
Seeing that Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui had unified their opinions, Zhang Ruoqi was afraid that even if he wanted to refute, there was nothing he could do. What's more, the Qing army's combat effectiveness today really frightened him. His venting just now was more like covering up his own gaffe. At this time
Upon hearing Hong Chengchou's question, Zhang Ruoqi did not dare to cause more trouble, and raised his hands and said: "What Governor Hong said is absolutely true! Follow Governor Hong's orders in everything!"
Hong Chengchou nodded slightly, "That's fine! Right now, the Qing army has just stabilized Shimen Mountain. I'm afraid there won't be much action for a while! Generals, take advantage of this opportunity to return to your various ministries as soon as possible to reorganize the army.
, be ready! If the Qing soldiers dare to attack rashly, I will make them pay the price!"
After Hong Chengchou finished speaking, there was a firm and fierce look in his eyes!
The generals did not dare to raise their heads to look at Hong Chengchou, and they all knelt down and said: "I will obey Governor Hong's order!"
On the left wing of Rufeng Mountain, Liu Ruyi and Wang Pu also received the latest news on the battle situation!
At the same time, there was also Hong Chengchou's command, which told Liu Ruyi to be on guard and ensure the safety of the army's flanks!
At this time, after two days of improvement, the defensive fortifications of the Caishi Army camp were already quite large!
Surrounding the highest peak where the artillery camp is located, between several low mountain peaks, Liu Ruyi's Caishi Army and Wang Pu's Datong Army were connected by simple plank roads, while the various bird and gun soldiers also relied on the movement of earth and rocks in the mountains.
Advantages, a solid position has been built!
Liu Ruyi was not too optimistic about the Battle of Shimen Mountain from the very beginning!
Although the Ming army was in a great situation for a time, allowing Liu Ruyi to see a glimmer of hope, in the end, it was all in vain!
In fact, even if the Ming army was extremely brave and had a larger number than the Qing army, in terms of real combat power, the Ming army was still at a disadvantage!
After all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was at its peak and prosperity!
Manchu children start practicing riding and shooting at the age of ten. They are assessed every few years and are promoted through real military exploits until they become a qualified warrior!
Although the Ming Dynasty covers thousands of miles and has tens of millions of people, facing the Manchu and Qing Dynasty's national military system, there is no comparison at all in terms of military resources!
'If there are not even ten thousand Jurchens, they will be invincible!'
This sentence is more than just words!
The Manchus are naturally good at fighting, and coupled with Huang Taiji's great talent and strategy, their strength has reached a new level!
Under such circumstances, it would be unwise to confront the Manchus head-on!
Therefore, Liu Ruyi did not choose to attack the front with the army at the beginning, but came to the flanks to stabilize the position!
There is a saying in later generations that goes, 'It is better to ask for yourself than to ask for anything from anyone else!'
For Liu Ruyi, no one is worthy of trust at this level!
In this battle of Songjin, elites from nine sides of the Ming Dynasty gathered together. These elites are already the last fighting flesh and blood of the Ming Dynasty!
Put it in a pot, Liu Ruyi is really uneasy!
Taking a step back, even if more than 100,000 Ming Dynasty elites are wiped out, as long as the 7,000 elites of the Colored Stone Army are in hand, Liu Ruyi is still confident that he can rely on his solid position to defeat Huang Taiji!
Therefore, the independence of this battle is crucial to Liu Ruyi!
Liu Ruyi must hold her destiny in her own hands!
Just as Wang Pudangru guessed, in Liu Ruyi's concept, 'If you want to hit someone, you must first learn to be beaten!'
The dangerous terrain on the left side of Rufeng Mountain firmly blocks Jinzhou's choke points leading to Songshan, Xingshan, Tashan, Ningyuan and other places!
As long as this place is firmly in hand, even if the main force of the Ming army collapses and retreats to Songshan City, the Ming army will still have a stronghold that they can maneuver around, which will make the Qing army feel threatened, thus making Huang Taiji less courageous.
Like the Battle of Songjin in later generations, they actually besieged Songshan City for nearly two years!
Liu Ruyi himself is best at defense and offense, which are not his strongest points!
The left wing of Rufeng Mountain is like a fulcrum, and it will be Liu Ruyi's most favorable guarantee to leverage the situation in Liaodong with his own strength!
Saying sweet words ten thousand times is not as practical as being down-to-earth and really doing something!
This is like a fox catching a rabbit. Whoever succeeds in the end depends on who has better patience and tolerance!
