On the third day of April, the Liaodong Allied Forces once again launched a new round of attack on Ningzhou City. This time Ningzhou City felt a strong pressure. Porsha watched the enemy troops under the city constantly deploy troops and generals. Just from the dispatch
Looking at it, you can tell that the coalition forces will probably be desperate to attack the city this time.
It seems that His Highness has made a breakthrough, otherwise the coalition forces would not be so desperate. The next thing he has to do is to hold on. As long as he holds Ningzhou City and welcomes Woller and Dorgon, there is only one way to defeat, but I think
It is not that easy to defend Ningzhou City.
Before the hour passed, the coalition forces attacked Ningzhou City from the east and west sides. This time the coalition forces continued to attack the city, without giving Porsha time to rest. They fought from 1 hour to evening. Although the coalition forces had not yet attacked the city, they could continue.
The siege had already caused heavy casualties to the defenders of Ningzhou City. Looking at the incomplete city head and thick smoke billowing everywhere, Borsha wiped his face and looked at the sky above his head in confusion. He didn't know that Ningzhou City
How long can the city of Ningzhou be defended? If the coalition forces continue to attack the city in such a crazy manner, I am afraid that the city of Ningzhou cannot be defended for long. Two days or three days?
On the fourth day of April, spring was warm, flowers were blooming, the scenery was beautiful, the Gray Mountains were green and lush, and the earth carried the songs of migratory birds. On this sunny day, 20,000 troops from the Northern Shan Dynasty hurriedly walked on the official road. Their goal was the north.
The Yalu River was majestic and majestic, crossing the Yalu River, but this time it was from south to north. The ancient river was already in front of us, and Liaodong was in sight. No matter how calm Tie Mo was, he could not suppress his excitement.
"Send an order to Bolsha to evacuate the entire army from Ningzhou City to Linhuang Mansion. In mid-April, gather troops from Fengzhou to cooperate with my king in capturing Huining Mansion!" Without crossing the Yalu River, a military order was sent to Ningzhou.
In the city, no one doubted Tiemo's order to let Bolsha retreat to Ningzhou City and send troops to Huining Mansion in the middle of the year. This means that Tiemo will break through Liaodong within half a month and capture Huining Mansion, the holy land in the hearts of the Jurchens.
.Isn’t half a month too arrogant?
No, I don’t feel arrogant at all. If you can solve the complicated situation in North Korea within half a year, how difficult is it to solve the problem of Liaodong, which is empty of troops, in half a month?
In the Zhongjing garrison, Porsha looked at the military order in his hand, and finally showed a smile on his face. His Highness was indeed still interested in Ningzhou City. In the past, he was always worried that these surrendered generals might not make His Highness take it to heart. Now the military order
It's already here and there is no such worry anymore.
Withdrawing troops, to put it bluntly, I don’t want him to die in Ningzhou City. As the situation in North Korea becomes clearer, the North Korean Expeditionary Force enters Liaodong, which will inevitably force the Liaodong Allied Forces to fight. If they stay in Ningzhou City, they will only add more troops to the Liaodong Allied Forces.
Just military exploits.
Withdrawing to Zhendong Mansion will never allow the Liaodong Allied Forces to get an advantage. The coalition's idea of starting from Ningzhou City and taking Yunzhong Mansion and other places is doomed to fail, not to mention Marshal Yelu's troops.
His Highness Shan stationed in Liaodong and threatened Huining Mansion would force Dorgon to dare not go west quickly. To be honest, His Highness was too fierce. He took over the entire North Korea so quickly, which was simply unexpected.
On the fifth day of April, taking advantage of the dawn sun, the Korean Expeditionary Force crossed the Yalu River and marched directly to Dandong. At this point, Liaodong was once again in trouble.
On the sixth day of April in the 14th year of Chongzhen, spring was bright and beautiful in the North. On this day when all things were revived, the people of Liaodong faced a nightmare. On this day, more than 20,000 troops from the Northern Shan Dynasty and North Korean servants arrived in Dandong along the rushing Yalu River.
, that day they sent troops to storm Kaizhou City in Dandong.
Kaizhou was under the jurisdiction of the Hou Yuan Dynasty. Due to Woller's deployment of troops to conquer Ningzhou City, the rear area was empty. Woller's main defensive efforts were placed on Dongning Prefecture and Zhenhai Prefecture, and there were only less than 3,000 defenders in Kaizhou City.
, with such a small number of people, and Kaizhou was not a strong city to begin with, it only held on for an hour before announcing that it had changed hands. Kaizhou was just the beginning. Everyone almost habitually felt that the Northern Shanxi Army would move on after taking Kaizhou.
In one step, they will attack Yaozhou and Muzhou to the west, cut off the connection between Liaoyang Prefecture and Zhenhai Prefecture, and then concentrate their forces to capture Zhenhai Prefecture in the south.
As the place where Woller started his career, Zhenhai Mansion is very important to Liao Yan, and now almost all the baggage from Liaodong is transported in from Zhenhai Mansion. It would not be surprising at all if the Northern Shanxi Army concentrates its forces to attack Zhenhai Mansion. But Iron
Mo didn't want to do this. It was good to attack Zhenhai Mansion, but was Worrell a fool?
Worrall is very smart. Since he dares to leave
If you open it, you must have confidence in Zhenhai Mansion. There must be many soldiers and horses stationed in Zhenhai Mansion. Although Zhenhai Mansion can be captured by force, it can also cause a heavy blow to the entire Liaodong Allied Forces, but if you do that, you will lose a lot.
Time, now the most important thing for the Northern Shanxi Army is time. The situation in the Central Plains is urgent, and the Liaodong battlefield must be ended as soon as possible.
Tie Mo has been planning a plan in his mind. He wants to abandon the line of Zhenhai Prefecture, Liaoyang Prefecture, and Dongning Prefecture, and attack directly from the dangerous mountainous area in the east, directly attacking Huining Prefecture in the hinterland of Liaodong. Dongning Prefecture,
Liaoyang Prefecture is in a dangerous location and has huge military value. If it can be captured, it will be great, but the problem is that it is difficult to fight. The soldiers and horses of Minte and Porsha are definitely unable to rush to the Liaodong battlefield in a short time. What they can rely on is their hands.
These people below, with less than 30,000 people, really don't have much confidence in trying to open up the line from Liaoyang Prefecture to Dongning Prefecture. The Jurchens' combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the Koreans.
Going around from the east to Huining Prefecture, the resistance will be much smaller. On the way, you not only have to cross the Changbai Mountains, but also cross the Mudanjiang River. Between Mudanjiang and Changbai Mountains is the Pulumaoduo tribe, the most powerful Jurchen tribe in the east.
Not to mention the ridge, we had to capture the Pulu Maoduo section as quickly as possible, which was quite difficult.
Moreover, after arriving at Huining Mansion, we still faced a very important problem: how to defeat the Jurchen army in Huining Mansion in the shortest possible time, otherwise it would be delayed for a long time. All the Jurchen troops stationed in Dongning Mansion and various ministries were assembled.
Huining Mansion was in a situation where the army was alone and deeply besieged.
By then, let alone capturing Huining Mansion, whether they can survive is another matter. Any decision has pros and cons. It seems that going around Huining Mansion from the east will not benefit the Northern Shanxi Army at all, but it is also
It’s not that there is no chance at all. As far as Tie Mo knows, the surrounding area of Huining Mansion is not monolithic. There is a small country called Bozhu Country to the north of Huining Mansion. Although Bozhu Country has few soldiers and only a few cities, Bozhu Country has only a few cities.
The people have strong morals and have fought many battles with the Jurchens and Shiwei people over the years. Although they have little chance of winning, the Jurchens and Shiwei people have not been able to do anything to the Bozhu Kingdom.
More than ten years ago, Nurhachi rose up from the white mountains and black waters, unified all the Jurchen tribes, and beat the Shiwei people to their knees. At that time, Wanyan Aguda was extremely prosperous and tyrannical. Later, he led tens of thousands of troops to attack the Bozhu Kingdom twice, but
All returned in vain. Since the territory of Bozhu Kingdom is within a hundred miles north of Huining Prefecture, if the Manchu territory is a piece of white flour cake, then Bozhu Kingdom is the piece of black mud on the cake. Women have always been
A thorn in the flesh of a real person.
If Tiemo dared to go around to the east, he would have the confidence to convince the Bozhu Kingdom that the contemporary king of the Bozhu Kingdom was devoted to the Liao Dynasty. Although the Liao Dynasty was gone, Tiemo had another identity, a member of the Horqin tribe. The Golden Sword Consort. In the Bozhu Kingdom, Horqin's identity as the Golden Sword Consort is much more useful than that of the Jin Dynasty King of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Bozhu Kingdom is asked to help, the coalition forces attack Changchun Prefecture and lead Borsha's troops to the north of Huining Mansion. , at that time, we have a large number of troops, are we still afraid that the Jurchens will encircle us on all sides?
After capturing Kaizhou, the Northern Shanxi Army did not rush to attack. Instead, they sent out scouting horses. One day was enough for the Northern Shanxi Army to figure out the situation in Zhenhai Prefecture and Dongning Prefecture. Since Sha Diao entered Changbai Mountain in advance, they were able to inquire about the information. The matter fell on Xu Meiling. At this time, all the generals in Kaizhou Mansion were present. Xu Meiling said about the current situation, "There are now more than 15,000 defenders in Zhenhai Mansion. Bao Bubutong and Deng Baichuan were ordered to garrison. Liaoyang Mansion It is garrisoned by Gongsun Qian. The exact number of guards is unknown, but in the first month of this year Dorgon mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Dongning Prefecture and has not left yet, so the garrison in Liaoyang Prefecture is at least ten thousand."
After listening to Xu Meiling's narration, all the generals had a concept in mind, that is, it was almost an idiot's dream to conquer Zhenhai Mansion and Liaoyang Mansion in one go. However, these news also strengthened Tie Mo's idea of giving up attacking Zhenhai Mansion. Seeing everyone Everyone looked troubled, Tie Mo motioned for Xu Meiling to sit down again, and said calmly, "Judging from the current situation, it is almost impossible for our army to swallow Zhenhai Mansion and Liaoyang Mansion with the strength we have. However, Liaodong's troops are limited. , since almost all the soldiers and horses left by Woller and Wanyan Laoer are stationed in the land of Sanfu, the defensive force in the east is bound to be weak, so I intend to attack Huanzhou eastward and reach Huining from the east. Mansion."
Every time he was in a difficult situation, Tie Mo would always have something shocking to say, but this time it was really shocking. When the generals of the Northern Jin Army went to Korea, they knew that they would eventually attack Liaodong, so they had already understood the situation in Liaodong. .Huanzhou is definitely
It is the nearest fortified city to the west of Changbai Mountain. After conquering Huanzhou, you can enter the Changbai Mountain Range. Once you enter Changbai Mountain, it will be too difficult for the Jurchens to capture the traces of the Northern Shanxi Army. But doing so also takes a lot of risks. Entering How can we safely go north in the vast mountains and forests?
In later generations, Changbai Mountain still retains many primitive jungles that are rarely visited by humans. What's more, today, birds and animals survive in the forest, and dangers are everywhere. Even the most powerful Jurchen hunters dare not go deep into it.
"Your Highness, the general thinks this method is feasible. Although it involves a lot of risks, it is much smaller than attacking the three prefectures. However, even if we reach Huining Prefecture, we will encounter great resistance. After all, our troops are limited. If anything happens, If we cannot break the deadlock in a short period of time, the young men left behind by the Jurchens will surely swarm towards Huining Mansion like flies smelling blood!"
What Shang Kexi said is also the question of most generals. They are not afraid of danger, but they do not want to make unnecessary sacrifices. Tie Mo nodded and said with a faint smile, "What General Shang said is true. Don't worry, I have already thought of it." That’s it. As for the Huining Mansion, I have already made an idea, and I will let you get through it for the time being.”
The matter of Bozhu Country is a secret. Once it is revealed, it will not be able to achieve a surprise effect. Although everyone in the hall is one of his own, Tie Mo does not want to take that risk. Once the matter of Bozhu Country is brought forward by the Jurchens, Knowing that they will destroy the Bozhu Kingdom at all costs, Tie Mo will have no chance. Seeing Tie Mo's calm expression, everyone has no doubts. His Highness has done this before, which ultimately proves that he is right.
The first meeting in Kaizhou made the North Korean generals feel a little awkward. The 20,000 troops from the Northern Jin Dynasty were marching south and north in North Korea, conquering east and west. They never paid attention to any city, not even Li Zi.
Qian and Wang Bengu's coalition forces and Tie Mo dared to confront each other head-on. The royal capital of Pyongyang was so strong that the Northern Shanxi Army dared to attack. But why did the Northern Shanxi Army not fight when they encountered Zhenhai, Liaoyang, and Dongning Prefectures?
, it seems that there are not too many defenders in the three mansions.
The Korean generals who surrendered felt despised. Are the Korean generals really inferior to the Jurchens and Houyuan troops?
After nightfall, the sand sculpture has not come back, and Tie Mo has no intention of sleeping. Xu Meiling led Yue Laosan to work all day during the day. She was so tired that she had already gone to bed, with only Xu Meiling closely accompanying her. The crescent moon on the horizon curved gracefully.
, I don’t know whose heart it caught. There was a slight sound of footsteps and a faint fragrance, and I knew that it was Kim Taiji who was coming. Tie Mo was greatly surprised, frowned and smiled bitterly, "My Queen, what?
It’s time, why don’t you go to sleep!”
Kim Taiji's beautiful eyes swept over her and she opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything. She seemed to be afraid of Xu Meiling being here. Xu Meiling suddenly found it funny, "Kim Taiji, just say what you have to say. It's such a late night, why don't you
No one is willing to argue with you if you do something excessive."
Xu Meiling is such a clever guard. Jin Taiji smiled rather embarrassedly and found a chair to sit next to. "Your Highness, after today's meeting, Tang Yunzhou and others visited the slave family."
"Huh? What do I want to do with you?" Tie Mo's interest was piqued and he asked with a crooked neck. Kim Tae Ji pursed her lips and said with a slight smile, "They said that His Highness always looked down on us Korean soldiers. Before,
The king's capital has thirty thousand defenders, and the Heavenly King's Stronghold is even more impregnable. Your Highness dares to fight. However, there are not too many soldiers and horses in the Three Prefectures now, so Your Highness does not dare to fight."
Looking down on the Korean soldiers? Tie Mo narrowed his eyes, and after a while, he suddenly burst into laughter. Even Xu Meiling also laughed sweetly.
Jin Taiji felt angry. These two people had gone too far. Why were they laughing like this? Tie Mo didn't say anything. Xu Meiling leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice, "Sister Jin, what they said is right. They are indeed treating you."
I have little confidence in the combat effectiveness of North Korean soldiers. Do you think that the same number of Jurchen elites and North Korean soldiers are the same concept? In a fierce battle on the plains, 10,000 Jurchen cavalry can defeat 40,000 North Korean soldiers. Do you believe it?"
Xu Meiling's words were not polite at all, and she did not save any face for Kim Taiji. For a moment, Jin Taiji's eyebrows stood up in anger, her chest heaved, she stood up suddenly, looked at Tie Mo angrily, and wanted His Highness Zhao to say something.
