Chapter 965

Chapter 965: Soldiers are expensive and quick

It has been a long time since anyone dared to talk about Dorgon. I am afraid that in the Qing Dynasty, apart from Azig, no one else dared to do so. He breathed a heavy sigh of relief and Dorgon smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I know, but this time

, I will personally lead the troops on the expedition, and I will make those villains who show off their rhetoric pay a heavy price."

Dorgon's eyes showed a bit of determination and ferocity. Azig did not refuse, but said in a deep voice, "You can go on an expedition, but pay attention to your own safety. If something happens to you, this hard-won situation will be

I’m going to give it away.”

"Well, don't worry, brother, I know." Dorgon nodded lightly. Of course he knew the situation he was in. If he suffered too much loss this time, the situation he had managed to manage before would be all at an advantage to Huang Taiji.

.

Outside Daning City, no matter how many Ming troops yelled and cursed, there was no response from the city walls. Yang Sichang was still wondering in his heart, Dorgon was so arrogant and arrogant, how could he bear such an insult? He should have led his troops out of the city early to fight.

That's right. There was no response from Daning City, and Yang Sichang could only stand still. Two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Yang Sichang took the initiative to retreat ten miles to camp, and then buried pots to make rice. Yang Sichang thought there would be no changes today, but Duo'er

It was precisely this opportunity that Gon was waiting for. The Jurchen cavalry in the city had already been well fed and their horses were ready. When the Ming army retreated outside the city, Dorgon mounted his horse with his sword and raised his voice, "My Jurchen warriors, the Han people bullied us."

We have no one in the Qing Dynasty, and I must let them know how powerful our Qing Dynasty is. There are twice as many Han people as me outside the city, are you afraid?"

"Han dogs are cowardly, they must win... they must win..." Many Jurchen soldiers brandished scimitars and drank strong wine from their bags. Strong wine can awaken hot blood. Every time before a fight, the Jurchen cavalry would drink

Order, wine is like a magical elixir that can give them a little more fighting power.

Dorgon took the lead, and nearly 15,000 Jurchen cavalry rushed out from the west gate one after another. Why must they go out from the west gate?

Because Dorgon wanted to gather with Duduo's troops in Shunzhou City. Five miles out of the city, he saw Duduo's army surging. It turned out that the two armies were combined, and they gathered more than 30,000 people in a short time.

At this time, the Ming army and horses had not noticed this. In their minds, war horses were not suitable for such ice and snow. When they met, Dorgon shouted, "Fourteenth brother, you know

You are so brave and brave, how about it, do you believe that you can follow my brother and defeat the Ming army in a single battle this time?"

"Brother is joking. Although there are hundreds of thousands of useless Han people, they are just hundreds of thousands of pigs waiting to be slaughtered. How difficult is it to defeat them?" Duduo showed a kind of confidence in his gestures. At that time, the Jurchens were iron-clad.

The Mongols who can fight are everywhere, let alone the Ming army, which has been suppressed by the Khitans for more than ten years. Now there are only a few thousand cavalry in the Ming army, and they are all shrinking in Darun. Therefore, in this battle, the Qing Dynasty

Do you want to fight when you want, leave when you want, you have the initiative, but are you afraid that the Ming army will be too large in number?

More than 30,000 cavalry charged, and the momentum could be felt from miles away. When Tan Ma arrived at the camp in a panic and reported to Yang Sichang, the Jurchen cavalry was already only two miles away from the camp. Two miles, for

For the cavalry, it was almost a blink of an eye.

Yang Sichang didn't know why the Jurchens' cavalry could move forward freely on the smooth ice and snow, but one thing was very clear, and that was that they were going to suffer. "Quickly send an order to Hu Chengke, scatter the horses and caltrops, and the Jurchens must be killed."

The momentum is blocked.”

Yang Sichang's order was not untimely, but when he left the city this time, he didn't even think about confronting the cavalry. How could he bring so many horses and caltrops with him?

Dorgon and Duoduo divided their troops into two groups, attacking from the north and from the south. Hu Chengke ignored his head and body. As soon as he organized his formation, Duduo broke through from the south. Now most of the Ming army still wants to eat.

Some of them were resting elsewhere. When the Jurchen cavalry came, they were like tigers rushing into the flock of sheep, cutting down the Ming army until they were unable to fight back.

Finally, chaos arose, and gradually the situation in the camp got a little out of control. Duduo broke through to the south, and was not in a hurry to go deep. Instead, he led his troops to cross from east to west on the southern periphery, constantly harvesting the visible Ming troops.

, forcing the panicked Ming troops to run towards the middle of the camp. This was an army of hundreds of thousands. The entire camp stretched for ten miles and was spread out. It didn't show much, but when most people were concentrated in a small area

Afterwards, you will know how chaotic the scene is.

Chaos was the effect that the Dorgon brothers wanted. The Jurchen cavalry attacked from the north and the south, but left the east and west sides unattended. When they felt the pressure was too great, many Ming troops chose to escape from the east and west directions. These people were all

He likes to follow the trend, and there are those who run first, and then there are those who run second, and in the end it turns into a big escape.

Countless Ming troops rushed out like ants from the east and west sides. Yang Sichang couldn't control it even if he wanted to. The infantry in front fled and the cavalry chased behind. The consequences can be imagined. Faced with the pursuit of the Jin cavalry, countless Ming troops

He died tragically under those steel knives. When the situation became irreversible, Yang Sichang also chose to escape. Perhaps this was Yang Sichang's biggest weakness. If he could lead troops to garrison the camp at this time and hold on to the Jurchen cavalry, there would be no casualties.

It will be much lower.

But Yang Sichang cherished his life. He would not stay in a situation where he was destined to die. Yang Sichang ordered to escape, and the other generals lost their backbone. As the saying goes, if the people's hearts are in unison, the mountains will move, but if the people's hearts are not aligned, they cannot support their backbone.

The Ming Dynasty's tens of thousands of troops were completely defeated. They were chased around like a group of sheep. Blood stained dozens of miles outside Daning City. The number of corpses was incalculable. The Ming army wanted to escape back to Daru, but Aji

Ge had already led troops to block the road from Daning to Dalu. In desperation, he had no choice but to continue running south. As for running north, no one thought about running all the way north to Quaning Mansion. Isn't that an idiot?

They fled all the way, chased all the way, and finally came to the bank of the Sanchuan River in the south. For most Ming soldiers, seeing the Sanchuan River saw hope, because as long as they crossed the Sanchuan River and returned to the line of the Xiaohuang River, they could take a breather.

Okay. But can you cross the Sanchuan River? The answer is impossible. Duduo has been waiting here for a long time. To be sure, he sent people to guard the Yongding Bridge and had people break the ice and watch the Sanchuan River shatter into pieces.

The cracked ice slowly flowed with the river water, and countless Ming soldiers were immediately desperate.

There was ice, so they could run across it smoothly, but without the ice, not to mention how deep the river was, who could have withstood the cold weather? After falling into the water, they would have been trapped before they even reached the other side of the river.

Their hands and feet are numb from the cold. When there is no way out, many people will become crazy. This is what happened to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty at this time. They rushed to the Yongding Bridge in a swarm because that was their only hope.

The result can be imagined. Facing the Jin soldiers and horses waiting for work, the Ming soldiers suffered heavy casualties and still failed to rush over. Tens of thousands of troops were trapped dozens of miles from the north bank of the Sanchuan River to Daning. A fighting lasted for a day.

One night, until dawn arrived the next day, it gradually stopped. No one would count how many people died, but there were many, many. On this day, Duduo let go of the stone bridge, and the remaining thousands of remaining soldiers quickly crossed the stone bridge.

Banqiao, while the Jurchens chased from behind, all the way to the Xiaoyang River area. Under the attack of the rebels, the Xiaoyang River area was useless. In just half an hour, the Jurchens crossed the Xiaoyang River and stormed Hanzhuang City, an important town in Hebei. In one day

, poured into Hanzhuang City, which also means that Daru City has become an empty city.

On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Daru guard Cheng Fenglei led 10,000 defenders in the city to surrender. This also heralded the fall of Daru and the Jurchens had the capital to go south. Tens of thousands of Ming troops were killed in the battle of Sanchuan River, so

The big news could not be concealed even if one wanted to. Two days later, Yang Sichang was defeated, and the tragedy of the Sanchuan River spread to the capital city of Tokyo. When the news came, countless people in the capital thought it was a joke played by the Buddha.

A few years ago, the Ming Dynasty was defeated and suffered heavy losses when it was killed by Du Lenghong of the Liao Dynasty. Now it suffered another defeat there, and the defeat was so clean.

Hanzhuang fell, then the Jurchens could go south to Jizhou at any time, and then they would pass Zunhua. Where would they go after Zunhua? That would be the capital. Once again, the people living in the capital felt a deep uneasiness

, although there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Hebei and Shandong, can the soldiers and horses in these places be able to stop the fierce Jurchens?

Now there is only the military town of Santun Camp blocking the north of Jizhou. Since the last time the Jurchens detained the pass at Xifengkou, Zhao led the teachings to make every effort to strengthen the construction of Santun Camp in order to add another barrier to the north of Jizhou.

defense.

But in the face of the Jurchen cavalry that was pressing down on the enemy, could one of the three camps really be able to stop it? What troubled Zhao the most was that several soldiers under Huang Taiji were also sharpening their swords in the Jinzhou area.

Action, but the intention is very obvious, which is to hold back the main force of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong. Faced with the current situation, even Sun Chengzong, who is an expert in using troops, is somewhat helpless. In short, Sun Chengzong cannot spare enough troops to rush to Jizhou for the time being.

Before, I had never thought that I would face a two-pronged battle, because the Jurchens would never dare to engage in such a big war. As long as the Jurchens dared to hoard Xifengkou with heavy troops, Sun Chengzong would have a hundred ways to penetrate into the hinterland of Shenyang and leave the Jurchens behind.

The next profound impression. However, now that the Jurchens have done it, Dorgon has gathered heavy troops in the Xifengkou area, and Huang Taiji has also placed his main force in front of Liaodong to contain it.

After all, Dorgon's strength has grown by leaps and bounds since he swallowed up Lin Dan Khan's Chahar forces. He has enough troops to launch a military attack on his own. No one thought that the two heroes Dorgon and Huang Taiji could fight against each other.

When they met at war, they were able to put aside their prejudices and instead reach an agreement. It was precisely because of the cooperation between these two people that they put great pressure on Sun Chengzong.

The cold wind blows in the courtyard, and a few dead leaves hang on the treetops. It looks desolate and lonely. This Noda courtyard is not full of vitality, but only sad and sad.

At the end of the twelfth lunar month in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, when the news of the Jurchens' re-capture of Daru disturbed the capital city, the people of the capital were panicked, but Dorgon, as the Khan of the Qing Dynasty, would not stop his progress. The twelfth lunar month

On the twenty-fourth, 30,000 Jurchen cavalry, led by Duduo, attacked the Santun Camp. The Santun Camp was located in the north of Jizhou. After breaking the Santun Camp, they would face Jizhou. In order to protect Jizhou, the important city in the north, Jizhou

Liang Shizhong, the prefect of the prefecture, mobilized nearly 30,000 troops from nearby areas to defend Santun Yingcheng.

This army of nearly 30,000 people was put together by Jizhou after a lot of hard work. There are also many old and weak people in it, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to rely on these old and weak people to defend Jizhou. Liang Shizhong also

He knew it was difficult to rely on these people, but he had no other choice.

Santun Camp, as the defense in the northern part of Jizhou, is extremely important. If Santun Camp cannot be secured, the Jurchens can directly attack Jizhou and then attack Zunhua westward. Now that Jizhou is in danger, Liang Shizhong quickly thought of staying home.

Zhao Shujiao will be recuperating. Since the Xiaohuanghe War two years ago, Zhao Shujiao has returned to his hometown to recuperate due to injuries, and has not been used until now.

The reason why the imperial court did not re-enable Zhao Lijiao was also very simple. General Zhao had an upright temperament, but he offended many people. Some of his words were really not liked by the imperial court. In addition, he had an eye-catching relationship with Tie Mo from northern Shanxi, and the relationship was unclear.

Since he was demoted, Zhao Shujiao seems to be very quiet and obediently returns to his hometown to take care of his affairs.

Liang Shizhong personally edited a letter with sincere words and highly praised Zhao Lijiao's ability to lead troops. At first, Liang Shizhong was really worried that Zhao Lijiao would not come out. If that happened, someone from Liang would come to invite him personally.

General Zhao came out of the mountain. But what surprised Re was that Zhao led his troops and seemed to have never thought of embarrassing Liang Shizhong. After getting the letter from Jizhou, he rushed from his hometown to Jizhou overnight.

Doesn't Zhao Lingjiao have any complaints against the imperial court? How is that possible? It's just that Zhao Lingjiao knows what's important and what's light. As a general of the Ming Dynasty and a famous general in Liaodong, if there is trouble in Jizhou now, he has no shirking responsibility. He can't watch the people of Hebei die innocently and tragically.

Come under the iron heel of the Jurchens.

In the Jizhou living room, Liang Shizhong cordially entertained Zhao Lijiao, "Liang is very pleased that General Zhao is willing to come. General Zhao will ignore the past grudges. Liang admires him. Now, on behalf of the people of Jizhou, I would like to thank the old general!"

After speaking, Liang Shizhong clasped his fists and bowed respectfully to Zhao Tejiao. Zhao Tejiao looked stunned and raised his eyebrows slightly. You must know that Liang Shizhong is the highest official in Jizhou, and he, Zhao Tejiao, is only a general in Liaodong.

That's all, it still needs to be controlled by Jizhou.

Moreover, in the Ming Dynasty, the culture of emphasizing civility over military affairs was very strong. Civilians were noble but military officials were inferior. When military generals met civilian officials, they would immediately be three heads short. Generally, a general would have to salute when he met an official who was three levels below him, let alone when he met an equal.

, and Liang Shizhong's official position was much higher than that of Zhao Shugong, but he was willing to give this gift, which shows Liang Shizhong's sincerity. Zhao Shujiao quickly took two steps back and hurriedly returned the salute, "Your Excellency, this is serious. As a general of the Ming Dynasty, I have to protect the peace of the people."

Stability is Zhao's responsibility in addition to his duty. Sir, please do not say these words to shame Zhao."

Zhao Shujiao is still too honest, and Liang Shizhong is not that kind of good old man. He has no choice but to do this. How about straightening out Zhao Shujiao's anger, so that he can fight with his heart?
