Of course, there was no suspense in this battle, because the Qing army attacked the Chinese army in Liaoyang for two consecutive days. Not only did it achieve no results, but it also lost more than 8,000 troops. The morale of the soldiers was severely damaged. First of all,
It has been defeated in terms of weather and time; and now the Chinese army has formed a pincer attack on the Qing army, with important cities in front and behind
The passes are all in the hands of the Chinese army. They can advance and attack, and retreat and defend. This is another advantage in terms of geographical location; and in terms of military strength, the total number of the two groups of the Chinese army has exceeded 60,000, while the Qing army now only has
With a strength of 34,000 to 5,000, the Chinese Army also has an absolute advantage in terms of strength, not to mention the Chinese Army's advantage in combat effectiveness.--./
In terms of time, location, and population, the Chinese army was completely victorious. Therefore, the final victory of this battle was actually determined as early as the defeat of Liaodong (12) in Chapter 221.
Most dynamically, the Chinese army adopted the tactic of defending in the north and attacking in the south, because on the southern front, the Chinese army concentrated more than 80% of its troops and launched a fierce attack on the Qing army with absolute superiority. Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, the Qing army
Falling into an absolute disadvantage. The front lines were constantly breached by the Chinese army, and they were retreating steadily, and their positions were repeatedly compressed.
After about an hour of fighting, a position of the Qing army on the southern front was first breached by the Chinese army, and then two positions were also breached. In one of the positions, the Chinese army had penetrated hundreds of steps into the Qing army's position, and
It began to spread to the interior, and the Qing army's southern position also became precarious. But at this moment
, the Chinese army also began to attack the Qing army on the northern front. Therefore, under the attack from both sides by the Chinese army, the Qing army finally could not hold on. All the peripheral positions were breached by the Chinese army and began to be defeated across the board. And the two generals Booker
Sha and Laita also did not have any confidence in the current war situation and were also thinking about how to escape from the battlefield.
Therefore, the battle situation quickly changed from an offensive and defensive battle between the two sides to the Chinese army's pursuit and suppression of the Qing army. But now the Qing army was attacked from the front and rear by the Chinese army, and could only flee to the left and right. This gave the Qing army a chance to retreat.
Brought Chapter 221 Sweeping Liaodong (
12) It is not a small difficulty. The Chinese army can also calmly attack from both wings to divide, outflank, and flank the Qing army. Therefore, there are not many Qing troops who can really escape on the battlefield. Moreover, Bukesha and Laita also
Being scattered by the Chinese army, they could only fight on their own.
After the two generals of the Qing army were dispersed, Bukesha led a part of the personal guards to break through desperately, but was blocked and intercepted by the Chinese army. Because he was wearing the armor of a general and had a large Su Dao flag, his target
It is very obvious. Therefore, under the blocking of the Chinese army,
, the guards around Bukesha were also constantly decreasing. In the end, Bukesha's breakout troops encountered concentrated musket fire from a group of Chinese musketeers. Bukesha personally led the charge, but was hit by more than ten bullets.
He fell off his horse and died, and most of the guards around him were also killed or injured.
The other general, Laita, was more flexible. He knew that his armor was very conspicuous, so he put on the armor of an ordinary soldier, threw away the Great Sudao flag, and mingled with the soldiers, looking for someone to break through.
Opportunity. But he was one of the chief generals of the Qing army, and his position was also in the central area of the army.
, and now that the Qing army has been divided into more than a dozen pieces by the Chinese army, it is not so easy to escape. As a result, Laita also used all his skills to escape. In the chaos of the battle, he desperately moved in and out, leading more than a dozen relatives.
The soldiers escaped several encirclements by the Chinese army and once even broke through to the periphery of the battlefield.
However, the Chinese army has sufficient experience in such encirclement and annihilation tactics. While dividing and encircling the Qing army on the battlefield, it also deployed a certain amount of search and roundup forces on the periphery of the battlefield. Of course, the Chinese army now also has sufficient troops. , so the control over the periphery is also tighter.
As a result, although Laita escaped the Chinese army on the battlefield and fled to the edge of the battlefield, he still did not escape the Chinese army's peripheral troops. Moreover, there were few people in the peripheral areas of the battlefield, so it was not easy to fish in troubled waters, and there were more than a dozen of them. They acted together and had a very clear goal, so they were eventually captured by the Chinese army.
By about 2 p.m., the battle was basically over. In this battle, the Chinese army annihilated a total of 15,278 Qing troops and captured 14,725 people. After the prisoners were identified , Bukesha’s body was identified among the corpses, and Laita was found from the captives. The Chinese army itself suffered 858 casualties and 736 injured, so it was also It can be regarded as a comprehensive victory.
The Chinese army placed the prisoners in Liaoyang, and then Zhou Shaohuan and Tong Dayong immediately led their troops to attack Shengjing.
Although the number of defenders in Shengjing City has now increased to more than 15,000, and more than 20,000 civilians have been recruited to help defend the city, Shengjing Angbang Zhangjing Dunbai and Deputy Angbang Zhangjing Wu Kuli know clearly that these increased numbers In fact, the soldiers did not have much combat effectiveness. If they wanted to defend Shengjing, they had to wait for Buxha and Laita's troops to come back. But at this time, the news of the Qing army's defeat in Liaoyang also reached Shengjing, Dunbai and Wuku. Li also knew that the situation was over and Shengjing could not be saved.
Before the Chinese army reached Shengjing City, Dunbai led a group of soldiers to flee overnight and defected to Jilin. Wu Kuli knew very well that not only Shengjing could not be saved, but the Qing Dynasty was also completely over. Therefore, Wu Kuli thought about it and finally decided to surrender Kaicheng and dedicate Shengjing to the Chinese army to save his own life.
In this way, the Chinese army captured Shengjing again without any bloodshed. And this time it would be a permanent occupation.
After the Chinese army entered the city, many of the soldiers were veterans who had participated in the cross-sea raid. It was also their second time to enter Shengjing. Therefore, they walked straight along and described to the young soldiers how they had invaded Shengjing. , what kind of scene is it, those are old houses, those are new buildings, and in those places, traces of the past have been left.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it also followed the example of the Ming Dynasty in implementing the two-capital system. Therefore, there were six ministries and other departments in Shengjing, as well as a large number of officials. In addition, there were hundreds of eunuchs and maids in the palace in Shengjing. In addition, in the previous few For months, the Qing court was transferring property and population to Shengjing. Many Qing officials moved their family members, Bao Yi and other members, as well as property into Shengjing, and now they have all become prisoners of the Chinese army.
When Zhou Shaohuan and Tong Dayong stepped into the palace in Shengjing, they felt quite a bit in their hearts, because Shengjing was originally the land of the Ming Dynasty. As early as the Zhu Yuanzhang era, the Shenyang Guard was established here. But after the rise of the Manchus, In the sixth year of Tianming (1621) of the Later Jin Dynasty, Shenyangwei was captured, and in the tenth year of Tianming, Shenyangwei became the capital of the Later Jin Dynasty. It was later renamed Shengjing and became the most important base for the Manchus to conquer China.
Although it has been eight years since the Qing Dynasty entered the country, Shengjing has been the old capital of the Qing Dynasty for twenty years. Therefore, at least at this time, Shengjing can still be regarded as the image of the Qing Dynasty.
Before the Qing Dynasty entered the country, Shengjing had always been the Qing Dynasty's retreat.
Therefore, five years ago, when the Qing army was pressing down on the border and the situation was critical, Shang Yi boldly carried out a cross-sea assault and attacked Shengjing. He finally forced the Qing government to withdraw its troops and rescue Shengjing, and finally reversed the situation in one fell swoop.
Then he regained Nanjing and occupied six provinces along the Yangtze River, which laid the foundation for confrontation with the Qing court, and from then on he gained the upper hand step by step. In fact, in the process of Shang Yi's battle with the Qing court, the cross-sea assault was the first and also the first
The most important turning point.
After the failure of the Central Plains War, the Qing court refused to surrender to the empire, precisely because of Shengjing. After the Chinese army reached Beijing, they would most likely abandon Beijing and retreat to Shengjing.
It has also become the thought of many Manchus to return to the way they were before entering the customs.
However, the purpose of the Chinese army back then was to destroy Shengjing and force the Qing government to withdraw its troops and return reinforcements, so even the Shengjing palace was burned down. This time the Chinese army occupied Shengjing again. The purpose was naturally different, but the significance was equally profound, because it was like this
The defeat of the Qing Dynasty has become a foregone conclusion.
And just after the Chinese army occupied Shengjing, good news came from another front. When sending troops from North Korea, the Chinese army divided its forces into two groups. Teng Yinyu, commander of the Fourth Army, led his army from the upper reaches of the Yalu River.
After crossing the river, go straight to
The Qing court's Ningguta deputy capital jurisdiction was because the Qing court's military strength in this area was also very weak, and the main forces were concentrated in the northerly area of Ningguta area. Therefore, the Chinese army also successfully captured Jilin and Changchun.
etc.
At this time, the deputy commander of Ningguta, Angbang Zhangjing, was Manchuria's Xianglan Banner Mele Ezhensha Erhuda. After receiving the emergency, he quickly mobilized more than 5,000 bows and led his army back from Ningguta.
After recapturing Jilin, they were attacked head-on by the Chinese army. They were beaten fiercely by muskets and artillery, and were severely defeated. More than 2,000 soldiers were disbanded, and they fled back to Ninggu Tower to garrison.
Therefore, after February of the second year of Hongxian (1651), the Liaodong Peninsula area south of the Songhua River and east of the Liao River was occupied by the Chinese army, and the Ningguta Deputy Capital Area, the birthplace of the Manchu people, was also occupied.
After cutting off contact with Beijing, the first phase of the Chinese army's battle plan to attack Liaodong and recover the area with Shengjing as the core was basically completed.
At this time, the Chinese army has concentrated nearly 100,000 troops on the Liaodong Peninsula, and the next goal is to split up and head toward the Jinzhou area in the west and the Ningguta Deputy Capital Command in the north.
March on, fully recover the Liaodong region, and establish imperial rule in this area.
Zhou Shaohuan then ordered the Second Division to rush to Jilin, under the command of the Fourth Army, to attack the area under the deputy capital of Ningguta to the north. Tong Dayong led the Fifth Army to launch an attack on the Jinzhou area and completely recover all the areas outside the customs.
The 23rd Army and the 14th Division of the 9th Army stayed in the Shenyang area as reserve forces and to maintain social order.
Then Zhou Shaohuan officially sent a victory message back to Nanjing.q!!!
