?The reinforcements Mu Chen expected did not come, but a large group of Chinese troops had arrived. "" Tong Dayong personally led the Fifth Army and the Ninth Army, as well as Zhao Yue's uprising troops, to Damingfu City, and immediately The troops were divided into three groups. One group entered from the occupied north gate, while the other two groups detoured to the east and west gates and entered. They launched a comprehensive attack on Damingfu City from three directions.
After the Chinese army entered the city, the battle situation also changed rapidly. It was also a street battle and an offensive operation. The Chinese army seemed to be much more organized than the Qing army. On the one hand, it made full use of each street and made full use of On the one hand, he expanded his troops and made full use of his superiority in weapons to kill the Qing army and retreat. It was impossible to stop the Chinese army's attack.
As the Chinese army penetrated deeper into the north gate, the east gate and west gate were successively attacked by the Chinese army. Mu Chen also discovered that Daming Mansion could no longer be defended. Although Daming Mansion was lost, it was no longer possible. There is a dead end, but after all, we have to wait for Dorgon's order, which means that it can be delayed for a few more days, but if he stays in Daming Mansion, he will die immediately. Therefore, after a short period of consideration, Mu Chen quickly He decided not to live and die with the Daming Mansion. If he could survive for a few more days, there might be some chance of improvement. So Mu Chen immediately led the remaining troops and fled through the south gate, which was not under attack.
At the same time, Mu Chen played another trick and did not go to Kaifeng to see Dorgon. Instead, after leaving the South Gate, he bypassed Daming Mansion and fled to Hejian Mansion to join Bolo who was stationed there. According to Mu I think that if I go to Kaifeng to see Dorgon, I am afraid that I will be beheaded by Dorgon, so don’t appear in front of Dorgon first, and go to Bolo to hide for a while, so as to delay it for a few more days. If he had time, he might also explore other avenues and think of a solution. The subsequent development of the situation also proved that Mu Chen's choice was absolutely correct, because Dorgon no longer had the chance to deal with Mu Chen.
Shortly after Mu Chen fled Damingfu, the Chinese army basically took control of the situation in Damingfu City, and the Qing soldiers who stayed in the city also laid down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender.
At this time, the Qing army garrisoned outside the city rushed back to rescue, but it was too late. Tong Dayong immediately ordered the 8th Division and 10th Division of the Fifth Army to attack respectively to meet the Qing reinforcements, and the rest The troops stayed in the city, clearing the battlefield and taking prisoners into custody.
The troops garrisoned outside the city never expected that Daming Mansion would be lost so quickly, and they did not have any advantage in strength. Therefore, they were attacked head-on by two divisions of the Chinese Army and were quickly killed. Defeated. At this time, Damingfu City was completely occupied by the Chinese army. The 50,000 Qing troops stationed in Damingfu lost 12,000 She people. The 5,000 Qing troops stationed in Wandi Town launched a frontline uprising and all surrendered. The Chinese army and the Chinese army captured more than 17,000 prisoners in the city. Some of the remaining troops were taken by Mu Chen to defect to Bolo in Hejian Prefecture, while the rest fled back to Kaifeng one after another and went to Dorgon. Report.
The very next day, Zhou Shaohuan also led the Fourth Army and rushed to Daming Mansion. After meeting the generals, he praised them all, especially Zhao Yue, and also made a emphatically commendation. Of course, there were also The Qing soldiers who followed Zhao Yue in the Front of Fire uprising.
At the same time, Zhou Shaohuan also announced that all the Qing soldiers in the Fireline Uprising led by Zhao Yue would be formally incorporated into the Chinese Army. There were more than 5,000 Qing soldiers who accompanied Zhao Yue in the Fireline Uprising, including 3,000 Qing soldiers from the former Shengong Battalion and two
Thousands of remaining troops, of which about seven
More than a hundred people did not want to be soldiers anymore and chose to abandon the army to work in farming. Zhou Shaohuan also expressed respect for their choice and temporarily organized the remaining soldiers into a regiment, with Zhao Yue as the regiment commander, Liu Chengqing as the deputy regiment commander, and the other battalions, companies and platoons.
All officers of the rank and grade are nominated and appointed by Zhao Yue.
This regiment is temporarily placed under the command of the Fifth Army. Of course, this is only a temporary organization. It will be reorganized after the Battle of Northern Henan is over. Therefore, it does not have a designation, and it is directly commanded by the headquarters of the Fifth Army.
Then Zhou Shaohuan immediately ordered Tong Dayong to lead the Fourth Army to set off to capture Zhangde Mansion. The Fifth Army and the Ninth Army stayed in Daming Mansion, seizing the time to repair the position and fortifications in preparation for facing the Qing army. Because Zhou Shaohuan knew very well that
The Qing army will definitely fight with all its strength to retake Daming Mansion.
Zhangde Prefecture is located about 120 miles west of Daming Prefecture. It is the northernmost prefecture in Henan Province. Its seat is Anyang. It is the junction area of Henan, Hebei and Shanxi provinces. Tangyin County, the hometown of the famous Southern Song Dynasty general Yue Fei, is
here.
After Daming Mansion was captured by the Chinese army, the gate back to Beijing was also closed, but there was still a side door, which was Zhangde Mansion. Therefore, the only way to seize the opportunity was to take advantage of the fact that the Qing army had not yet captured the news of Daming Mansion's fall.
Zhangde Mansion was the one that completely locked up the Qing army in the Central Plains.
Although theoretically speaking, after the loss of Daming Prefecture and Zhangde Prefecture, the Qing army can still detour to Shanxi and return to Beijing, but in this way, the distance will be nearly doubled, and after the Chinese army captures the Daming and Zhangde front lines, it can also be very
It is easy to dispatch troops to attack the Qing army's withdrawal route. In addition, after capturing Zhangde Mansion, they can also coordinate with Daming Mansion to support each other, which is much better than defending a city alone.
However, when the Central Plains War began, Zhangde Mansion was still an inland city and was not on the border. Therefore, the Qing army did not station any troops to guard Zhangde Mansion, nor did it strengthen Zhangde Mansion's city defenses. Of course, this was incompatible with the current Qing army's
The lack of troops makes it impossible to set up heavy defense in every city.
As a result, after Tong Dayong led his army to Zhangde Mansion, he captured Zhangde Mansion almost without a fight. Then Tong Dayong also set up positions in Zhangde Mansion to prepare for defense.
In order to survive for a few more days, Mu Chen fled directly to Hejian Prefecture after being defeated in Daming Mansion, without sending anyone to Kaifeng to report to Dorgon. Although this approach allowed him to escape death,
But Dorgon was not in the first place
In the meantime, he received the news of the fall of Daming Mansion. After the other defeated troops retreated to Kaifeng, Dorgon learned the news. At this time, four days had passed since the fall of Daming Mansion, and even Zhangde was defeated.
The capital has been lost.
Although Dorgon had decided to give up rescuing the Azige tribe and mobilize the troops of the Nikan and Han Dai tribes to return to Kaifeng, and then concentrate his forces to seize the major Mingfu and re-open the way for the Qing army to return north, he also knew that
This news must not be announced to the entire army, otherwise the soldiers will know that they
After the retreat route was cut off by the Chinese army, the morale of the army was in chaos, and they had no intention of fighting anymore. Therefore, only a few people in Kaifeng city knew the news, and Dorgon ordered the transfer of Nikan and Han Dai's troops back to Kaifeng
, and did not explain why, but just ordered them to return their troops as soon as possible.
But now that the Qing army is in Kaifeng, there are only less than 120,000 troops on the Guide front line, and at least 70,000 to 80,000 troops must be left to garrison in the Kaifeng area. Therefore, if they want to send troops to recapture Daming Mansion, they must We have to wait until Nikan and Han Dai's troops return to Kaifeng before we can send troops. During this period, we can only wait patiently.
While waiting, Dorgon also successively summoned the main generals of the Qing army to discuss the next step. After Nikan and Han Dai's men returned, how should the Qing army advance to recapture Daming Mansion? Although until now, it has not been possible. In addition, Dorgon did not understand how Daming Mansion was lost, because the defeated soldiers were not very clear about many details, but one thing is certain that the Chinese army's attack on Daming Mansion was definitely quite large, at least two. With the strength of an army, even if the troops are divided to defend Zhangde Prefecture, at least one army will be stationed in Daming Prefecture.
Dorgon is also very aware of the defensive capabilities of the Chinese army. Moreover, the number of new troops in Kaifeng and Guide is less than 20,000, and there are only more than 200 artillery pieces, because most of them are in the Azigh tribe. With such a Not to mention Dorgon, no one else was sure about their strength or whether they could take back Daming Mansion.
Prince Chengze Shuosei suggested that the Boluo tribe stationed in Hejian Prefecture and the Wakda tribe stationed in Datong, Shanxi Province should send troops together. The two troops combined forces have a strength of **0,000, and the new army also has more than 10,000 people. It still has considerable combat effectiveness. If we attack Daming Mansion from the north and the south in this way, we will be more likely to recapture Daming Mansion.
However, Prince Zheng Jierharang raised objections because the Boluo tribe was stationed in Hejian Prefecture, which was the choke point leading to the capital. Once troops were sent from Hejian Prefecture to attack Daming Prefecture, it would mean all the way from Shandong to the capital. The door is wide open and unobstructed. If the Chinese army only needs to send one army at this time, it can attack directly from Shandong to Beijing. If the Boluo tribe does not move and only dispatches the troops of the Wakda tribe, but the Wakda tribe The troops of the army are less than 30,000. Even if we attack from the north, it will be a drop in the bucket and will not help.
To take a step back, even if the Chinese army does not have extra troops to attack Beijing at this time, how long will it take to recapture Damingfu if it is attacked from the north and the south? You must know that the Kaifeng area can temporarily have no worries because there are Azige troops in Henan. The southern battlefield drags the strength of eight armies of the Chinese Army, and how long can Azig be able to hold on when surrounded by the Chinese army? Once the Azige tribe was annihilated by the Chinese army on the battlefield in southern Henan, and in northern Henan If Daming Mansion cannot be recaptured on the battlefield, Kaifeng will face the overwhelming pressure of the Chinese army. At that time, it will be a dead end.
His words made everyone present speechless and very nervous. After all, Jierhalang's words were not unreasonable. Dorgon frowned and said: "So, we don't have What other ways are there?”
Jierhalang shook his head and said, "Yes."
