Chapter 1406 Jia Heng: It is not appropriate to rely on the grand trend and follow the steps step by step
Chapter 1406 Jia Heng:...It is not advisable to take risks by relying on the grand trend and following the steps.
In the nineteenth year of Chongping, in late June, the season had entered midsummer, the weather was hot and the heat was unbearable.
Haizhou Guard——
At this moment, just as Jia Heng led the army from the capital camp to the outside of Shengjing City, the soldiers in the two Liaodong guard cities were also thinking about strategies to defeat the enemy.
Since the troops and horses led by Azig detached themselves to assist Jinzhou, the troops and horses of the two Liaodong guards turned from defense to offense.
Haizhou Acropolis, among the Yamen—
Kang Hong, the admiral of Hebei Province, was sitting behind a lacquered wooden table. He was dressed in black iron heavy armor and a wrought copper helmet. His face was deeply furrowed. Not far away sat Jia Fang, a young general from the Jia family.
, his face is clear and his eyes are sharp.
With the experience of the war, the young generals of the Jia family are not only Jia Fang, Jia Chang, and Jia Ling, known as the three heroes of the Jia family, but there are also many rising stars of the Jia family in the army, such as Jia Yun, Jia Qin and other generals.
Kang Hong put down the Tang newspaper in his hand and said with a smile on his face: "General Xiao Jia, Duke Wei has led his troops to Haizhou. Our army should send troops to respond."
Hearing this, Jia Fang's face also showed joy, and her voice was full of excitement. She said in a deep voice: "Admiral Kang, the Jurchen Tatars are now retreating to the Liaoyang area. Our army should integrate relevant troops and go to Liaoyang first, and then go directly to Liaoyang.
Attack Shengjing."
Kang Hong twirled his beard under his chin with his hand and said: "General Jia, according to the military newspaper, Duke Wei's intention is that after Prince Shui arrives, our army will join forces and march into Liaoyang together."
Under Jia Fang's sharp eyebrows, his eyes were sharp and his voice was impassioned, and he said: "Admiral Kang, the last general is willing to be the vanguard of the army and lead his troops straight into Shengjing."
Kang Hong smiled heartily, with admiration in his eyes, and said: "General Jia is so brave that it is hard to do without General Jia being so busy."
To take the lead and charge forward on the front lines, young generals like Jia Fang must take the initiative themselves.
Jia Fang said solemnly: "Once Liaoyang is defeated, Shengjing, the enemy's home base, will be under the front of our Han army and can be destroyed with a snap of a finger!"
Kang Hong had some hope on his face, nodded and said with a smile: "General Xiao Jia is right. At that time, several groups of soldiers and horses attacked Shengjing, and the destruction of the country was in front of us."
Not only Jia Fang, after Liaodong is destroyed in the future, he will also be recorded in the history of Qing Dynasty as the general manager of the army.
While the two were discussing, a soldier wearing a flaming red Han uniform, with a hurried expression, strode into the hall, cupped his fists and said: "Master Junmen, Prince Beijing is here."
Hearing this, Kang Hong stood up, with a touch of joy on his face, and said, "General Jia, come with me to greet him."
Jia Fang also got up and followed Kang Hong out of the Acropolis to meet King Shuirong of Beijing.
At this moment, Wang Shuirong of Beijing led the 30,000 Jiangnan Navy soldiers of the Gaizhou Guard. At this moment, the flags behind him were flapping in the wind.
Kang Hong and Jia Fang walked out quickly, stared at the handsome and fair-skinned young man, and said with cupped hands, "I have finally met the prince."
Wang Shuirong of Beijing had a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to support him and said: "General Kang, there is no need to be polite, please get up and talk."
Under Kang Hong's thick eyebrows, his eyes were old, and he nodded and said: "Your Majesty, Duke Wei has led his troops to Ningyuan City."
Wang Shuirong of Beijing said: "Wei Guogong is on his way, and his troops are very fast. We can't delay any longer, and we can't let the Jurchens free their hands to deal with it."
As the saying goes, you can come in multiple ways, but I can only go all the way. It's probably just a time difference.
Wang Shuirong of Beijing said: "This time I will lead my troops to attack Liaoyang and capture the city of Shengjing."
Wang Shuirong of Beijing, accompanied by Kang Hong and Jia Fang, quickly entered the city. At this moment, tens of thousands of troops behind him also filed in.
Under the guidance of Kang Hong and Jia Fang, Wang Shuirong of Beijing entered the yamen hall and sat behind a handsome desk. At this moment, he took the books delivered by Kang Hong and Jia Fang.
"The troops and horses are all ready. The army will rest for a while and we will send out troops early tomorrow morning." Wang Shuirong of Beijing stared at Jia Fang, and his heart couldn't help but move.
This Jia Fang is standing in the wind, with a handsome temperament. At first glance, she looks a bit like Zi Yu.
The so-called Wan Wan is like a minister, which is probably the case.
Well, the King of Beijing has become a little obsessed with Jia Heng.
Wang Shuirong of Beijing couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment, calmed down, and quickly suppressed the turbulent thoughts in his heart, and said: "Which Jurchen general is stationed in Liaoyang?"
"Back to your lord, the general leading the army is Leke Dehun, the prince of Luo Shuncheng County of the puppet dynasty. This man is the grandson of Daishan, the prince of Li of the puppet dynasty." Jia Fang said.
When Beijing Wang Shuirong heard this, he thought for a moment and asked, "Where is Azige from before?"
Kang Hong took over the conversation and explained: "Ajige has led his troops to Jinzhou to help."
Wang Shuirong of Beijing pondered for a long time and said: "It seems that Liaoyang is the nail that the Jurchens use to stop our army from advancing northward."
After all, he was a minister of military aircraft who had a deep family background and had experienced fighting outside for a long time. He could also see the intention of Jurchen's arrangement.
After pondering for a moment, Shui Rong said: "This time the navy unloaded a lot of Hongyi cannons from the ship, which can be used to attack the city. Our army responded back and forth to be careful not to be ambushed. If we can capture Liaoyang City."
Jia Fang said: "Your Majesty, I would like to invite you as the vanguard to attack Liaoyang City."
Beijing Wang Shuirong nodded, his eyes paused slightly, and said: "We need General Jia to lead his troops to attack, overcome thorns and thorns, and take Liaoyang directly."
After that, Wang Shuirong of Beijing stayed at the government office in Haizhou City and spent the whole night speechless.
The next day, in the morning, the wind was gentle and the sky was clear and clear.
Jia Fang led nearly 10,000 cavalry troops in the naval army and approached Liaoyang City.
The Jurchen general stationed in Liaoyang City was Leke Dehun, the eight iron-hatted kings of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations. He was the grandson of Daishan and the son of Saha Lun.
He was also good at conquering and fighting, and was extremely brave. He made great contributions when entering the Pass during the Manchu Qing Dynasty in parallel time and space.
After the new king of Manchu came to the throne, he was awarded the title of Prince Duoluo Shuncheng.
At this moment, Luck Dehun led the elite bannermen of the Zhenghong Banner, plus the soldiers and horses of the two red banners of the Han army, stationed in the city.
In the military tent——
Luckard stood in front of a huge map of Liaodong. Under his sword-shaped brows, his cold, dagger-like eyes crossed from Haizhou and Gaizhou in Liaodong to Anshan in later generations, and then to Liaoyang where he was.
Finally, he frowned and sighed.
The Han army behind him was commanding the red flag. Han general Xin Huailong said: "Your Majesty."
Luckard said: "This battle is not easy to fight."
If we look at the map, on the Songjin line, the main force of the Han Dynasty is pressing down on the border. Once Ningyuan, Jinzhou and Shengjing are defeated, they will be in danger.
Similarly, Liaoyang, where Luck Dehun was located, also faced the main naval force of the Han army and the 30,000 troops from Hebei, about 100,000 people.
At this moment, the Denglai Navy led by Mu Sheng, Prince of Dongping County, joined the Korean troops and marched along Manpu from the Jurchen hinterland.
This is the three lines of troops of the Han Dynasty, completely attacking Liaodong from three directions.
Of course, the main battlefield is still the troops led by Jia Heng.
"Your Majesty, as long as our army holds Liaoyang and the front line of Ningyuan and Jinzhou, if the regent wins a big victory, our Qing Dynasty will be as safe as a rock." Xin Huailong said.
Luckard said: "That's what I said, but the Han people are coming with great force and carry cannons and sharp weapons. It will not be easy for our army to hold on to the city."
Xin Huailong said: "My lord, as things stand now, we can only hold on to the city and fight for a glimmer of hope for our Qing Dynasty."
"There are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and the stockpile of food and fodder is as high as hundreds of thousands of stones. It should be almost enough." Luckard said loudly with deep eyes under his thick eyebrows.
In other words, this way, it can probably withstand a few months.
Luckard looked solemn and said loudly: "Gather all the generals, I want to discuss something."
Not long after, the generals from Zhenghongqi and above gathered in the hall in a dark crowd, noisy and discussing for a while.
"Boom!"
As the gavel was taken, the noisy general suddenly became quiet.
Luckard said in a deep voice: "Generals, the Han army is approaching fiercely. Our army is mainly focused on defense. Recently, it will be divided into several groups to defend the four cities and wait for the enemy invaders to invade the territory. We can take turns to guard the four cities and interact with each other.
To echo.”
In fact, according to ancient city defense methods, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in the city, which could basically resist a hundred thousand troops for half a year.
But since the emergence of the Hongyi Cannon, this is no longer certain. It can be said that the shape of war has basically changed.
Previously, the Jurchens had relied on Hongyi cannons to win consecutive battles and victories in the Japanese territory, and they were invincible.
In other words, the improvement of siege technology has led to the temporary failure of city defense facilities and defense methods to keep up, but as time goes by, they will surely be able to keep up.
Offensive and defensive confrontation is originally the relationship between spear and shield, one ebbs and flows, the other ebbs and flows, creating a dynamic balance.
A general below said: "Your Majesty, the Han army's Hongyi cannons and firearms are sharp. Liaoyang City is originally a small city, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist."
"You have to block it even if you can't!" Luckard said in a deep voice.
"Behind us is the Shengjing City of our Qing Dynasty, which is full of people of our Qing Dynasty. We must not take a step back." Luckard said loudly.
When the female true generals below heard this, their faces showed anger.
It can be said that the Qing Dynasty has now reached the stage of life and death.
As Luck Dehun began to mobilize troops and horses, many soldiers throughout the city began to move, holding weapons and weapons, walking back and forth on the city wall, looking like they were ready.

Manpu
It is midsummer, and the geographical environment of North Korea's high latitudes has created a climate that is not too hot in summer. At this moment, the crown prince of Dongping County, the Governor of North Korea in Japan, Mu Sheng, led a group of generals, large and small, to board Manchuria.
At the top of Pucheng City, holding a telescope in his hand, he looked at the winding Yalu River.
"Sir." The deputy general on the side looked at Mu Sheng and said, "The Duke wants us to send troops to attack on our own. What does General Mu think?"
Mu Sheng put down the telescope, turned his gaze back, and said in a deep voice: "Our army is heading to Hetuala to attack the Jurchens' lair and cut off the Jurchens' retreat."
"Let's go back and summon the generals to discuss the military situation." Mu Sheng said, turning around and returning to Manpu City.
At this moment, the North Korean generals, the former Jeolla Province Navy Chief, the current North Korean Navy Chief Lee Do-soon, the former Chungcheong Province Observer Pak Jung-wei, the Gyeongsang Province Observer Yi Sang and other generals.
"We have met your Lord Governor." In the hall, all the Korean generals present shouted in unison.
Mu Sheng said: "You don't need to be polite."
All the generals present stood up one after another and looked at Mu Sheng.
Mu Sheng said: "Our army's main goal here is to contain most of the Jurchen forces. Of course, if the time is right, we should also attack Shengjing. Before that, our army will attack the Jurchen's old village."
As he spoke, he pointed at the map behind him and said: "This is the Jurchen's home base, Hetuala. There are not many Jurchens stationed in it. Our army may be able to attack Huanglong directly."
When all the generals heard this, their faces were inexplicably excited.
Mu Sheng opened his mouth and said, "Envoy Li."
At this moment, Li Shang stepped out from among the generals, raised his hands and said, "Governor Mu, please give me your instructions."
Mu Sheng said in a deep voice: "Li Kuanshi, I will send 3,000 of our Han soldiers and horses. You will lead our own troops and serve as the vanguard to attack Hetuala first."
Li Shang raised his rugged face and said in a loud voice: "The last general takes orders."
Under Mu Sheng's sword-shaped eyebrows, he patrolled the generals with cold eyes and said loudly: "Everyone, now is the time when we have made great achievements and are shining in the annals of history. You should encourage us!"
"Governor Mu, the Jurchens and we have a feud, and we will fight bravely and fight to the death." Pu Zhongwei paused slightly and said.
Mu Sheng said loudly: "Everyone."
Then, arrangements were made for the generals.
It can be said that in this war to destroy the country, although Jia Heng was the commander-in-chief and commanded all parties, he still needed to lead the troops and manage the specific groups of soldiers and horses.
Of course, Jia Heng's side is the main force in the decisive battle.
…
…
Ningyuan City
As Jia Heng's Beijing army rushed to Gaotaibao and gradually reached the front line, Jierhalang and a group of generals in Ningyuan City were also ready to prepare.
At this moment, in Ningyuan City, in the former Acropolis Yamen——
Jirharang's golden sword sat down and said with a solemn expression: "Our army now has nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses. What strategies do you two have to defeat the enemy?"
"Uncle, if we are passively beaten, why not take the initiative and defeat the Han army's vanguard troops first," Ai Duli said.
"How to defeat? We have already fought against Cao Bianjiao from Shanhaiguan before, and our army cannot gain much upper hand." Jierhalang said.
Gu Ermahong said: "In the battle of Sarhu, Taizu once said that although he came several ways, I only went all the way, why can't I do this? With the elite and bravery of our Eight Banners, we defeated the Han army first, and the rest of the war was also
It’s easy to fight.”
Jierhalang shook his head, his face was as gloomy as iron, and his voice was solemn and he said: "This time, that time, the Qing Dynasty is no longer thirty years ago."
At that time, there were not so many soldiers and horses, but the superiors and subordinates had the same desire and were not afraid of death. At that time, the Han army was not in order and its weapons were lax.
But now, whether it is the number of princes and ministers who are withering away one after another, or the former elite of the Eight Banners who have completely lost their spirit in the continuous defeats.
Ai Duli said: "Your Majesty, can we, the Qing Dynasty, have to be beaten passively?"
Those who fall behind will be beaten. This is an eternal truth.
"The only plan now is to hold on and wait for changes!" Jierhalang narrowed his eyes and asked: "How has the city been reinforced recently?"
"It has been reinforced for a layer, but it may not be able to stop it." Guermahong said.
Unless it is a city wall like Shengjing City or Peking City, it can stand firm under the bombardment of dozens of cannons.
In this battle to destroy the country, Jia Heng deployed almost hundreds of red barbarian cannons. It can be said that regardless of the cost, he planned to push forward all the way and use tyrannical national power to completely crucify the Jurchens.
"The Hongyi cannon just heard the thundering sound, and it actually landed on the top of the city. It did not do much damage. The four gates in the city were blocked with bricks and stones. The Han army could not attack for a long time, lost its vigor, and wasted its food.
Pang Ju, naturally he retreated." Jierhalang encouraged the two of them and said.
This Jurchen prince's thinking is still correct, and he will wait for changes.
The Han Dynasty launched an army of nearly half a million people to go on an expedition, but it was obvious that it could not last long, especially due to the consumption of food and ordnance, and there was also the morale problem of a long-term campaign.
This is why during the Warring States Period, sieges often took half a year and a year. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery were of no use.
On the contrary, because of the rarity of war examples using tactics, they can be remembered in history and become the most talked about examples of military warfare.
Jierhalang said solemnly: "Now our army can only defend. If we survive this year, the Han army will definitely not be able to hold on for long. At that time, we will have the opportunity to conquer the Qing Dynasty."
Ai Duli and Gu Ermahong heard the words and nodded one after another.
Jierhalang said: "Follow me to the top of the city to see the appearance of the Han army."
With that said, he left the hall and government office and headed to the city head.
…
…
At this moment, three days after arriving at Gaotaibao, Jia Heng also led his troops to arrive in front of Ningyuan City.
At this moment, Jia Heng, accompanied by Cao Bianjiao and other generals, rode up to the city and looked at the towering city. The flags on it were waving in the wind and making a hunting sound.
Jia Heng's eyes were filled with observation and he said loudly: "Ningyuan City looks about three feet high."
Cao Bianjiao nodded and said in a low voice: "Jie Shuai, this is reinforced and raised. In the past, this was our first line of defense against prisoners. There are forts and arrow towers on it. These are now used by the Jurchens."
At the end, Cao Bianjiao's voice sounded a little indignant.
At this moment, there were about ten Hongyi cannons on Ningyuan City, distributed on several turrets with sharp edges. The dark entrance seemed to carry a huge intimidation.
Jia Heng nodded and said loudly: "I saw it. The Jurchens have also mastered the art of making Hongyi cannons. Although they are not as good as me, they can still cause continuous damage to my Han soldiers and horses on the city gate tower. After the battle,
When the time comes, first bombard and clear out the enemy forts."
Inspired by him, the artillerymen in the Beijing camp already knew a little about how to calculate parabolas and conduct artillery bombardment with a certain degree of accuracy.
Of course, even if it cannot attack accurately, it can still cover a large area with firepower.
Cao Bianjiao's face showed a look of thoughtfulness and he said: "What the Duke said is true."
Jia Heng said: "Now I have an army of hundreds of thousands, relying on the grand momentum and following the steps. It is not appropriate to take risks."
This is the strategy to pacify the Jurchens, that is, seeking stability first and never taking risks.
At this moment, the cavalry behind them moved in large numbers. After a while, a knight was seen coming on horseback. "Xie Hou asked the commander to go back and said that he had urgent military information to report."
Xie Zaiyi had already arrived at Ningyuan City before, trying to capture the fighter plane, but the fighter plane was not easy to come by. He just sent a cavalry to bypass Ningyuan City and patrol around.
Jia Heng didn't say much and followed Cao Bianjiao back to the military tent.
At this moment, Xie Zaiyi was already waiting there. His unshaven and resolute face was full of energy.
Jia Heng nodded, his eyes flashing aggressively, and asked: "Xiehou, do you have any military information to report now?"
Xie Zaiyi said loudly: "Jie Shuai, a Jurchen cavalry army has appeared since Xiaolinghe, and it seems that they also want to attack behind."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "I have hundreds of thousands of troops hoarded here, and the food road is long. They want to rob my food road. This is the only way to defeat the enemy."
The Han army's food route ran from Shanhaiguan through Qiantun and finally converged at Gaotaipu.
It's actually not bad now. As the front line lengthens, the supply line of the food road will be longer.
Xie Zaiyi said: "Maybe we are also preparing for our Han cavalry to bypass Ningyuan City and march towards Shengjing from the northwest."
Jia Heng said: "Xiehou can lead his cavalry to chase and fight with him. I am here to attack Ningyuan City. Both sides will support each other."
Xie Zaiyi bowed his hands and said yes.
Jia Heng ordered: "Come here, order the generals, the army will rest for a day, and tomorrow the whole army will attack Ningyuan City."
At this time, the accompanying Jinyi guards responded and then sent the order.
