The east gradually became brighter, and the appearance of the first ray of dawn announced the end of this chaotic night to everyone on this land.
The fighting has stopped long ago.
Centered on the vanguard camp, the corpses of fallen soldiers and dead horses spread for several miles. It was unknown who stopped the fighting first, or whether in a certain area, all the soldiers of a certain side had completely died.
He was killed, and the battle ended so suddenly.
The troops on both sides carefully and slowly left the battlefield. Without the follow-up troops to join, the physical strength and morale of all the soldiers on both sides had actually been wiped out within an hour. They could persist until
At dawn, it was because the generals on both sides felt that the victory in this battle belonged to their side.
At the moment, it seems that no one has won, but everyone has won.
The Ming Army successfully expanded its main camp to the location of the vanguard camp and preserved its firearms units intact. If the Ming Army was at a disadvantage at night, then during the day the Ming Army's well-established firearms units were fully confident.
Defeat the enemy in front of you.
After the Jin army paid the price of losing almost half of its men, it finally achieved its goal of severely damaging the Ming army. Even though the Ming army moved the camp a distance of about ten miles towards Gushan Fort, but with
Considering the opponent's current military strength and the casualties caused to the Ming army after last night's battle, the Ming army may not have the strength to continue attacking Gushan Fort.
The Ming army worked non-stop to build a large camp. However, no matter how strong their camp was or how full of hedgehog-like thorns they were, they could only protect themselves. Food routes were cut off, and a large number of wounded people were injured.
, these unfavorable factors are consuming the combat power of the Ming army all the time.
And Abatai will not be able to launch the same fierce attack as last night. He will not have this opportunity again. Likewise, he will never use his remaining troops to attack the Ming army's camp or use his own troops.
His flesh and blood body tested the muskets and cannons that the Ming army had no chance to display last night.
He would not give the Ming army this chance.
He will trap this Ming army to death.
The garrison of Gushan Fort was not under the control of Abatai. Even if he had the intention to dispatch the garrison there to besiege the Ming army, the garrison there might not be willing to obey his orders, but the Ming army did not
Without knowing this, the Ming army would never dare to act rashly.
In this case, what is the Ming army most likely to do?
Abatai was thinking about this question, but soon Azig sent him the answer to this question.
The Ming army sent several batches of cavalry from their current camp to ask for help, all heading towards Phoenix City. Azig had already intercepted and killed more than ten Ming army cavalry on the way, but he was not sure.
Have you intercepted all the messages?
And he himself estimated that the Ming army sent so many cavalry asking for help, and as long as one of the cavalry asking for help was not intercepted and killed by him, the news would inevitably spread back to Phoenix City and quickly reach Zhenjiang Fort.
The distance between Gushan Fort and Zhenjiang Fort is not out of reach.
"More troops!"
Abate did not hesitate to send a message to Huang Taiji in Shengjing for help, and tried to ask for control of the Gushan Fort garrison from Huang Taiji, although he knew that Huang Taiji would never directly take over Gushan Fort.
In his hands, however, the battle situation at this moment is obviously in Daikin's favor. He believes that his victory will make Huang Taiji clearly see this.
"Great victory at Gushan Castle!"
Yes, this is the biggest victory that Dajin has achieved since it conquered Liaoyang last year. And Abatai seized the opportunity and led the troops bravely, severely damaging the Ming army along the Zhenjiang Fort. At this moment, he only needs to add a little more force.
With a little effort, you can get some of this Ming army.
And after that, the recapture of Phoenix City, the recapture of Kuandian, Kemalan Valley, and everything in Zhenjiang Fort became something within reach, and these extremely annoying Ming troops in Zhenjiang Fort, they
Before, it can also be cleared.
These disgusting things that have been giving Daikin a headache, they are not qualified to survive this winter.
What Abatai didn't know was that at the very moment when Li Zicheng of the Ming Army and Abatai were asking their respective commanders for reinforcements under the Gushan Fort, it was the time when Liaodong Dusi and Shengjing had the strongest military strength.
A gap in wealth.
Most of the soldiers and horses of the Liaodong Dusi who besieged Liaoyang were withdrawn, while Huang Taiji's army only sent out the vanguard. Daishan in Liaoyang City surrendered too quickly, so fast that both sides did not have enough time to react.
, this Liaodong offensive and defensive battle, which was theoretically going to last for a long time, ended with lightning speed.
Therefore, with Huang Taiji's courage, in the face of Liaoyang's disrespect and Sun Chuanting's army stationed, he would certainly not continue to do this stupid thing of sending his precious military power to the front line of Liaoyang, and Abatai
A great victory at Gushan Castle that was beyond his expectation gave him an opportunity.
The 20,000-strong army that was ready to set out, under his command, moved towards Gushan Fort without hesitation. Behind him, there were almost the same number of troops gathering, and he would lead them.
The remaining troops then arrived at Gushan Fort and personally commanded the battle of recovery.
Jiang Wan from Zhenjiang Fort also did not dare to neglect.
He would not sit back and watch the entire Eastern Route Army be annihilated by the Tartars. Nor was he willing to see the Phoenix City and Kuandian lines that he had managed to extract from the Tartars at Zhenjiang Fort in the past two years, with the destruction of the Eastern Route Army.
, completely fell into the hands of the enemy.
Liaodong Dusi has more than 5,000 people from the West Route Army, more than 5,000 people from the Middle Route Army, and more than 10,000 people from the main army. A total of more than 20,000 people were quickly mobilized by him. He will personally lead the main army directly from Zhenjiang Fort to provide assistance.
Li Zicheng, behind him, the West Route Army and the Central Route Army gathered, and as the second batch of reinforcements, led by Yao Chunyong, continued to rush to Gushan Fort.
The occurrence of all major events in history has its inevitability and contingency. To use one event alone to prove the inevitability and contingency of the occurrence of this event is to be a hooligan. Only by analyzing the causes and consequences of the event together with the general trend at that time can we
That is objective, fair and convincing.
Just like neither Huang Taiji nor Jiang Wan, they never thought that this small Gushan Fort would become a battlefield for a complete showdown between the forces of Daijin and Dongjiang Town, a battlefield for a decisive battle.
In today's Liaodong, the Liaodong Dusi headed by Jiang Wan has become qualified to become Huang Taiji's opponent through their incredible development. Whether Huang Taiji wants to dominate Liaodong or take over the Central Plains, the Liaodong Dusi
It was already a huge obstacle that he couldn't get around.
Only after this obstacle is completely removed can the battle between the Jin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty under his rule return to the right track. Therefore, Huang Taiji will never let go of the opportunity to severely damage this Ming army.
.
He has allowed this Ming army to grow for too long, and he can no longer let them go.
At this moment, Jiang Wan didn't think so much at all. He just wanted to repel the Tartars, rescue the entire Eastern Route Army, and stabilize the territory he had occupied. As for whether he could completely defeat the Tartars, in his
In my mind, that was at least a few years away.
He, Jiang Wan, has never been a person who aims too high and does not overestimate his own abilities.
