Looking at Gu Feilang's exhausted soldiers, Geng Zhongming raised the corners of his mouth, full of pride. In fact, he could have launched an attack on Gu Feilang long ago, but Geng Zhongming waited until the rogue bandits were right in front of him.
, once you are full of hope and completely despair, what will be your reaction? Most people will lose the courage to live. This is the case with the current bandits. They are too tired, and even their only hope has been shattered. How can they fight?
The best thing to do now is to pray for a quick death, right?
This killing was not tragic at all. The Yunfu cavalry galloped past, and countless rogue soldiers fell like straw. Even Gu Feilang was not spared. When there were no living rogue soldiers in the northern part of Mianchi City, this battle
It's finally over.
Geng Zhongming ordered the soldiers to clean the battlefield. For Geng Zhongming, the Battle of Mianchi City was just an insignificant battle in his life. The Battle of Wuzhou City back then was much more intense. But for those rogue bandits, the Battle of Mianchi City was
It was nothing short of a turning battle. In this battle, the northern barrier was completely defeated. Next, Luoche City and Pibo City were exposed to the eyes of the Northern Shanxi Army.
On the sixth day of May in the sixth year of Chongzhen, the army of the Northern Shan Dynasty attacked Mianchi City again. When the news came out, the whole world was shocked!
In those days, Ayue City was peaceful and peaceful every year. How far can the ancient Central Plains go?
When Mianchi City fell, it also heralded that the entire rogue bandits would face a disaster, that is, whether they could continue to survive. The Northern Shanxi Army was coming fiercely and would never stop when it reached Mianchi City. The Northern Shanxi Army captured Mianchi City.
, Li Zicheng was not the only one who was frightened. Speaking of which, Huang Taiji, who was far away in Liaodong, was much more frightened than Li Zicheng.
An urgent report was placed on the desk. Huang Taiji kept rubbing his temples, trying to relax himself, but in fact he couldn't relax at all. Hey, I thought that the rogue bandits could hold off the Northern Shanxi Army for two or three months. Who could
I had thought that the Northern Shanxi Army would achieve a breakthrough so quickly, but what was even more ridiculous was that they did not even have seven days to occupy Mianchi City and wipe out the troops in the north.
Huang Taiji has never been to the Central Plains, let alone what kind of place Mianchi City is, but he heard Fan Wencheng say that Mianchi City is a very strong barrier along the Yellow River. Now that the natural barrier of the Yellow River has been lost, Mianchi City has also been lost.
With Tie Mo's temperament, would he miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Huang Taiji felt that he knew Tie Mo very well. This guy had taken Mianchi City, and he would never stop if he didn't wipe out the bandits in one go. Tie Mo would never stop.
Mo Neng went to the distant Mobei to build a castle, which shows how decisive this person is. If there are really no rogue bandits to check it, it will not be a good thing for the Liaodong Kingdom of Jin, at least it will no longer be able to get involved in the flowers and rivers of the Central Plains.
The incompetent bandits and the incompetent Li Zicheng are really disappointing. Next, Tie Mo should attack Li Zicheng's army. Huang Taiji also wants to attack Panshan City, and he must capture Panshan City before Tie Mo takes action.
The plan to go south had been planned for a long time, but I didn't expect that the Liaodong soldiers and horses under the command of Sun Chengzong would be so resistant. The city was well-prepared with food and grass, and the city walls were strong. The Ming army defended the city and could not come out. The casualties in a hard attack were too great.
Of course, there is another reason for the current predicament, and that is that they underestimated those Ming army generals. In the previous attack on Panshan City, some secret passages were left secretly to make it easier to attack the city in the future. Most of these secret passages were dug under the city wall.
, the distance was very short. At that time, I thought I had a clever plan and gave myself six back doors, but no one thought that Zu Dashou was really good at leading the troops. When I heard that the Jin Dynasty was going to attack Panshan, he ordered some people to search along the city wall.
If any deficiencies are found, repair them immediately.
Speaking of which, the method used by Zu Dashou was also quite unethical. He blatantly hired a group of idlers from all walks of life, made a guarantee with them, and offered them a reward of one tael of silver if they found a problem. This made the idlers extremely excited.
, these idle men of various religions are usually interested in some messy things. If you let them carry hoes on the city wall to defend against the enemy, they will definitely be more deceitful than the others. But if you let them go to find the secret passage or inquire about someone.
A widow stealing a man is definitely very powerful. In this way, Zu Dashou used the idle men in the city to successfully find the secret passage left by Huang Taiji, and also filled in a few more wells.
Huang Taiji was very confident in his strategy. He never imagined that he would be defeated by a bunch of idle men. Now there was no chance of entering the city by opportunism, but if he attacked Panshan City forcefully, the loss would be unacceptable to him.
Compared with Huang Taiji, Zu Dashou is much more comfortable. As long as he sticks to Panshan City and swears not to go out, he doesn't have to worry about anything. Isn't he just a coward? It's not just once or twice. Jun Song is the only one
His contribution is to build Panshan City like a copper wall. With this fortified city, the Jurchens can attack as many as they come. If it were midsummer, I would still be worried, but now that spring has just begun, the water level in the nearby river is very shallow, so I just want to release water.
Yancheng has no chance. So Zu Dashou is not worried at all. As long as it takes so much time, who is afraid of whom? Are you Huang Taiji capable of holding on for a year and a half? Zu Dashou knows the situation of the Great Jin Kingdom too well.
The drought has been severe in the past two years, and there was another disaster at the end of the year. The Jurchens were so short of food that they almost knelt down and cried for their grandma. How can they survive for a long time with just such a small amount of property? If I think about it on my ancestor’s birthday, Huang Taiji will have to retire sooner or later!
In Shenyang City, Huang Taiji must be very worried. Just look at his messy hair. The Jurchens don't pay much attention to appearance, but Huang Taiji is an exception. He pays great attention to appearance. He doesn't dress up like this for several days.
It was still rare when he was walking around. Fan Wencheng was almost knocked unconscious when he walked around the room. Huang Taiji didn't want to wait too long, waiting until Tie Mo solved the rogue bandits, sent his troops eastward, and fought against the Kingdom of Jin
Is it a business? I'm not worried that the guy named Zhao will stop the Jin Kingdom from going south. I'm just worried that this guy will come to reap the benefits. Why should the benefits from the Jin Kingdom be shared with Tie Mo?
Fan Wencheng also frowned and thought hard. Could he be aware of the difficulties that the Kingdom of Jin is currently facing? Although Huang Taiji is now the king of Khan, Dorgon is an anomaly. Although other tribes appear to be submissive, is it really true?
It’s hard to say how convinced the country is, and the country of Jin is short of food. Therefore, whether it is to boost the prestige of the country, or to allow the country of Jin to survive this year safely, a war must be launched. This war can only be won but cannot be won.
Lose. Inexplicably, Fan Wencheng thought of something. He came to the case and spread out the map to look at it. Then he slapped his forehead and laughed loudly, "Yes, yes!"
Fan Wencheng burst out laughing, which frightened Huang Taiji so much that he breathed a sigh of relief and asked quickly, "Mr. Fan, have you come up with any good ideas?"
"Great Khan, we are all a bit brainless. Why do we have to fight desperately to attack Panshan City? We will not attack Panshan anymore. We will send most of our troops to the south, storm the entrance of the camp, and then invade the territory of Daling River. Hmph, we have to
Let’s see if the Ming army in Panshan City can still sit still?”
After Fan Wencheng finished speaking, Huang Taiji was shocked. He shook his head and said in disbelief, "Mr. Fan, is this too risky? If the Ming army gathered troops from all over Shandong and Liaodong to block the Daling River, Zu Dashou would
Send a large army to occupy the entrance of the camp and cut off our retreat, then our Jurchen warriors will suffer heavy losses."
In fact, what Fan Wencheng said did mean that he would go deep alone. No wonder Huang Taiji was surprised. Fan Wencheng was not in a hurry. He sat in a chair and took a sip of tea, "Khan, you were not so rigid in doing things before.
. Bypassing the winding mountains, seizing Yingkou, and entering directly into the Daling River is indeed very risky, but do you think the Ming Dynasty now has more money and food to mobilize more troops to go north? Now the Ming Dynasty’s treasury is empty, and the days are also
It’s not easy, so next, the Ming court will probably issue an official document to force Zu Dashou to go out of the city to fight our army. Aren’t you just waiting for the Ming army to leave Panshan City?”
Huh? Huang Taiji completely understood Fan Wencheng's intention. It seems that Jiang is still hot. Why didn't he think of this?
Huang Taiji did it as soon as he thought of it. Huang Taiji felt that Fan Wencheng was right. Since he became the Khan King, his mind was much less energetic than before and he was too cautious. On the other hand, Tie Mo always had many tricks up his sleeve, even though he took risks.
, but the effect is very good. If you want to take Panshan City, you have to take some risks.
After finding his own soldiers, Huang Taiji removed a command arrow and said with a serious expression, "Immediately rush to the north of Panshan City and tell Dabel Amin to go south from now on, bypass Panshan, and be sure to capture Yingkou City for Ben Khan within two days.
"
The soldiers of "De Ling" took the order arrow and hurried to Xining Fort in the north of Panshan Mountain. In the evening, Amin got the order from Jizhou. He was a little doubtful about Huang Taiji's military order, but he
He didn't dare to question military orders yet. The power game in the Kingdom of Jin was complicated and confusing nowadays, so Amin was also cautious, for fear of making a big mistake. However, Amin was one of the few Jurchens who was a master of military arts, and he quickly figured out the key.
That day, more than 20,000 Jurchen soldiers and horses stationed at Xining Fort suddenly left the city and headed east. That night, they gathered at the foot of Shaling City with the army from Shenyang. Shaling is a small city because
The geographical location is not important, so Zu Dashou did not send many people to garrison, leaving only a thousand soldiers and horses for symbolic garrison. Almost 30,000 Jin soldiers suddenly came at night, how could they defend it with only a thousand soldiers?
?
In the blink of an eye, the Ming army withdrew from the city and gave way to Shaling. When Shaling fell, Zu Dashou didn't even understand what the Jurchens wanted to do. In the evening, Amin led his troops out of the city, and the news soon came
When the news reached Panshan City, Zu Dashou was puzzled. Why would Amin go to such a good place? What happened next made Zu Dashou even more confused. An army of more than 30,000 people besieged Shaling. Damn it.
Okay, what are the Jurchens doing by laying down the sand ridge? Are there grains and treasures buried under the sand ridge?
If Zu Dashou was just confused at this time, what happened the next day was shocking. The Jurchens did not stay behind after they captured the sand ridge, and then went south to attack Yingkou City. Faced with the fierce attack of more than ten thousand Jurchen soldiers and horses, Yingkou
The city only held out for two hours before it fell. Only then did Zu Dashou understand what the Jurchens wanted to do, which was to go south to the Daling River.
After understanding the intentions of the Jurchens, many generals in Panshan City laughed heartily. Some even scolded Huang Taiji for being kicked in the head by a donkey. If he went to Daling River like this, wouldn't he take the initiative to dig into his pocket? When the time comes, Panshan's army will leave the city.
After occupying the entrance of the camp and blocking the retreat, Governor Sun sent a large army to garrison the Daling River. At that time, there was no need to attack. The more than 30,000 Jurchen barbarians could starve to death on the east bank of Dalingliao just by being trapped. The lone army went deep, and there was insufficient baggage and food.
If the truth is not guaranteed, why did Huang Taiji make such a big mistake in giving in?
Unlike those military generals, Zu Dashou's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, his brows were tangled, and his hands were constantly pulling on those precious beards. As a veteran of Liaodong, Zu Dashou had served with several governors of Jiliao, and he was very impressed by the Ming court.
It was too clear that the imperial court would never send reinforcements. For the imperial court, an army of more than 100,000 people from Liaodong was enough. If an army of 100,000 people could not stop the Jurchens, it would be extremely incompetent.
The imperial court did not know the situation in Liaodong, let alone what war was. Those people had never been to the north in their lives. How could they know how big Liaodong was? It would not be difficult for a hundred thousand troops to defend Liaodong, but the problem was that Liaodong was so big that it was impossible for everyone to do so.
The Jurchens are stationed everywhere and are impregnable. If the Jurchens don’t fight you, they will take a long way around and even cut off the escape route. They just want to go around and attack other places. What can you do? Not to mention 100,000 people, let alone 200,000 people.
, If they don’t fight you, you are just showing up. Alas, the court doesn’t know such a simple truth. Those people always think that an army of 100,000 people will be able to defeat the Jurchens.
Zu Dashou knew how difficult the predicament he faced was. The Jurchens' move was tantamount to forcing the imperial army near Panshan to leave the city for a decisive battle. But how confident was it that they would actually launch a decisive battle? The Jurchens' cavalry was not easy to deal with.
, how to compete with the infantry under his command? After thinking about it, Zu Dashou finally made up his mind and wrote a letter to Sun Chengzong. No matter whether it works or not, you have to try it. I hope the court will consider what Governor Sun said.
, but what will happen in the end depends on God’s will.
How could Sun Chengzong not be aware of the situation Zu Dashou was facing, so while dispatching troops and generals to the Daling River to set up defenses, he also rushed an official document six hundred miles away to the capital.
Sun Chengzong's letter and the letter from Liaodong arrived in Bianliang one after another. At noon, Cheng Jiming and others took a look at the emergency report. After reading it, they were disappointed. In fact, the content of the emergency report was very simple. As long as you think about it a little, you will understand what it means.
What's going on? At this time, don't think about anything. Just concentrate most of the troops and trap these Jurchen troops in the area from Daling River to Panshan City. With these 30,000 people here, we can force them to death.
Huang Taiji attached more soldiers and horses. Now Huang Taiji took the initiative to reveal a big flaw. As long as he did it well, he could swallow up most of the soldiers and horses of the Great Jin Kingdom in one go. From then on, the Great Jin Kingdom would become a small Jin Kingdom.
It's a pity that the imperial court will not do this. Because of the thirst for power, the cabinet is destined not to act according to Sun Chengzong's ideas. If Sun Chengzong is allowed to destroy the Jurchens at the Daling River, and Tie Mo solves the scourge in the Central Plains, then it will be
