The war suddenly became strange because of an unexpected flood.
The area between Gushan Fort and the Ming Army has now become a vast land. It is optimistically estimated that if it does not rain, in a few days, this land will turn into a paradise of mud. If it rains, then the land will become a muddy paradise.
This land is expected to last for some time.
However, this is spring. If it doesn’t rain in spring, is it still called spring?
From the gap where the river burst its embankment, the river still gushes out every day, continuously injecting fresh blood into the distant land. Jiang Wan has no intention of sending anyone to plug this breach. He knows that even if he doesn't
Send people to block it, and when the water level in the river and the water level in the breach decrease at the same time, the breach will no longer be considered a breach.
He can't do it.
Not to mention, the current flood seems to be more beneficial to the Ming army. At least, Gushan Fort is soaked in the flood all the time, while the Ming army can stay away from the flood, and can even gloat from a high place.
The Tartars at Gushan Fort were unlucky.
The floods separated the two warring parties, making the Ming army's offensive now meaningless.
However, it also makes the persistence of Houjin meaningless.
If they withdraw now and leave the flood-soaked Gushan Fort, it will be almost impossible for the Ming army to pursue them. Even if the Ming army intends to pursue them, by the time they have circled dozens of miles and come back to pursue Hou Jin's troops,
I'm afraid they won't even be able to see the horse's ass of Hou Jin's army.
But withdrawing means handing over this military fort to the Ming army. After the flood recedes, the Ming army can occupy this military fort without losing a single soldier. There are Zhenjiang Fort, Malanyu,
Panjiakou has these precedents here. Everyone knows that when the Ming army takes over here, it will not be extremely difficult to take back these places from the Ming army in Dongjiang Town!
Anyway, in Huang Taiji's eyes, even if he went to fight Liaoyang again, he would not want to fight the Ming army in Dongjiang Town again.
These Ming troops have no moral ethics!
But if we don't evacuate, life in Gushan Castle will not be easy under the flooding.
The Gushan Fort was overcrowded, aquatic mosquitoes, and humans and animals mixed together, and it was only a matter of time before the plague would breed, and this kind of thing was not subject to Huang Taiji's will. Secondly, although the Ming army lost a lot of food and grass,
This is not the case in Gushan Castle, not to mention those outside the city. Even within the city, many people were soaked and damaged due to the sudden influx of floods. And their food and grass, because of the presence of a large number of war horses,
But it was consumed much faster than the Ming army.
Logically speaking, the supply of the army should not be cut off. However, looking from the head of Gushan Fort, one can almost see soldiers and horses of the Ming army trying to cross the river and go around to the back of Gushan Fort every day.
Farther away, out of sight of Gushan Fort, the Ming army had already sent troops to cut off the food route of the Hou Jin army.
If this is the case, then Huang Taiji will really be besieged here.
And this is something that neither Huang Taiji nor his ministers want to see. For Huang Taiji, if he is trapped here, it is almost a matter of Daikin's survival. He will definitely
Won't take the risk.
After careful deliberation and consideration, on the third day after the flood struck, Huang Taiji led a group of his important ministers and the soldiers and horses of Zhenghuang Banner and Xianghuang Banner who had suffered little losses in the battle, and decisively left Gushan Fort.
, heading towards Shengjing.
In Gushan Fort, he only left some generals led by Abatai to confront the Ming army. What would be the outcome of the confrontation? On the night when Huang Taiji left Gushan Fort, he had convened alone
I went to Abate and talked with him for half an hour.
No one except the two of them knows what the content of the conversation was. Anyway, in the eyes of others, his Khan almost handed over the entire army to Abataibele. Abataibele should be happy, but,
Abata came out of Huang Taiji's place, but there was no trace of happiness on his face.
At this point, the Battle of Gushan Castle can finally come to an end.
As for the Ming army, it was of course a great victory for the Ming army, which killed countless Tartars. It was an undoubted victory.
But for the Hou Jin Dynasty, this was also a victory. Under the personal command of the wise and brave Great Khan Huang Taiji, the army of the Hou Jin Dynasty blocked the aggressive Ming army at Gushan Fort, severely dampening the opponent's spirit.
The Ming army was not allowed to take a step beyond Gushan Fort.
Of course, it was also a great victory, and the Ming army was not afraid to publicize the details of the battle in detail. However, on the side of Hou Jin, it is obvious that the attitude of the Jin court was to tell its people and the army, you know we beat the Ming people again
It's enough if Shuangji wins, the details are not important.
It seems that this is a happy victory for everyone, and everyone deserves to be happy.
The only one who was unhappy was probably the Liaoyang soldiers and horses led by Wu Xiang. As the vanguard of the Liaoyang soldiers and horses, they worked step by step. After breaking through the interceptions of the Tartar army several times, they successfully pushed the Liaoyang soldiers and horses forward.
More than a hundred miles.
The fight was going well, and even Wu Xiang had already reported to Sun Chuan that he planned to build a military fort on a good terrain where they advanced to serve as an outpost of Liaoyang. However, suddenly, the Tartar troops began to attack.
A crazy counterattack.
Not only did their military strength far exceed Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui's expectations, but their combat power also seemed to have suddenly increased significantly. Caught off guard, even Wu Sangui almost fell into the army.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Xiang decisively decided to withdraw his troops. Within two days, he returned all the areas he had spent more than ten days to conquer to the Tartars, and waited until his troops retreated to Liaoyang.
Under the city, Sun Chuanting's tens of thousands of Qin troops also took up their posture, preparing for a battle with the Tartars. Only then did the Tartars retreat angrily.
The sudden changes in the war made Sun Chuanting and Wu Xiang puzzled. They speculated on many possibilities, but the only thing they failed to guess was that in the direction they thought they were coordinating, there was a conflict between the Ming army and the Hou Jin Dynasty.
The war has ended due to an inexplicable flood.
And if the news is delivered in time, Wu Xiang's troops are more stable, and Sun Chuanting is more active, they can retain most of the results they have achieved in the past ten days.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.
When Jiang Wan's second battle report was delivered to Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting took the battle report and drove out everyone around him.
He was alone in the house and no one was allowed to disturb him for the whole night.
And according to the news from his closest personal guard, that night, Master Sun not only didn't sleep all night, but also didn't even eat dinner the night before...
