- Jizhou.
Hong Chengchou said to several generals: "There are still more than ten thousand soldiers in the city, but there is not much food left. At first, I wanted to rely on Li Chuang, and he could send some food as soon as possible, but now it is obviously useless. Let me tell you, How should this battle be fought?"
In the past two years, Hong Chengchou has been farming in Ji Town, but the drought has been severe for two consecutive years.
Moreover, rebels are everywhere around, and Hong Chengchou still has to suppress the mob, and it is not easy to collect some food and it will be consumed.
Jiang Zhu, the deputy general who escaped from Liaodong, said: "We can only break through the siege. After breaking through, we can go to Shanhaiguan and join forces with Li Chuang to attack Huangtaiji. At that time, Li Chuang will have to give the army rations. Or, after breaking through, go directly south. , go to Shandong to join forces with Zuo Liangyu."
Jiang Zhu never thought of defecting to Zhao Han, because he was born in Hunan.
Zhao Han distributed all his family's property to military households. The whole male family was sent to mine, and the female family members were also forced to remarry.
It can be said that Jiang Zhu and Zhao Han have a sworn feud!
Wang Tingchen said: "I think we should stick to it. When the army rations are finished, we will eat The longer we stay here, the greater the chance of winning for Li Chuang. Maybe we can kill the old thief (Huang Taiji)!"
Hong Chengchou actually tends to stick to it.
The Manchu Qing sent troops very hastily, and there was no time to come out in full force.
Huang Taiji only had 40,000 soldiers in his hands, Hauge and Dorgon each received 10,000, and the remaining Eight Banners troops were still gathering in Liaodong. Although Hong Chengchou didn't know the exact number, judging from the speed at which the Manchus dispatched troops, he could guess that the opponent must have insufficient troops.
Here in Jizhou, there are more than 10,000 soldiers. If they work together, they can defend until the Qing army runs out of supplies.
Li Zicheng's 80,000 army is very likely to defeat Huang Taiji!
But Cao Bianjiao said: "If you defend for a long time, you will lose. Tang Tong and Bai Guangen surrendered in anticipation. There may be some people in Jizhou City who want to surrender. You can defend for three or five days. After ten and a half months, what if someone secretly informs the Tartars?"
Although these words are ugly, they make sense.
The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty fought over the years, and many times they had the upper hand. Some people ran away for no reason, and some people surrendered for no reason.
"It's because I didn't plan well, and I made a big mistake in employing people." Hong Chengchou must admit his mistake, because all the generals have resentment in their hearts.
Tang Tong was brought by Hong Chengchou from Xuanhua. He believed that this person was trustworthy, so he arranged to defend the direction of Lengkou. Unexpectedly, Hong Chengchou surrendered without firing an arrow. Hong Chengchou is responsible for knowing people and not knowing.
Cao Bianjiao stood up and pressed his saber: "The two armies of the Tartar bandits joined together, and their strength is only 20,000. Including Tang Tong and Bai Guangen who surrendered, the strength is also less than 30,000. Tang Tong and Bai Guangen are both incompetent people, but they are large in night attack When the time comes, take the opportunity to attack the Tartars. If the Tartars are in chaos, they will attack fiercely. If the Tartars are not in chaos, they will retreat to the city. Whether you are defending or leaving, first win a battle and then talk about it!"
"That's right, let's talk about winning one game first." Wang Tingchen nodded in agreement.
Hong Chengchou asked: "Who is willing to lead troops to attack at night?"
Cao Bianjiao smiled and said: "Since it was my idea, I should go to attack at night. You should be prepared. Once the Tartar camp becomes chaotic, the army in the city will come out to kill the thieves."
After discussing the details again, Hong Chengchou finalized the matter.
Cao Bianjiao immediately selected the best and strongest in the army, and after nightfall, he led more than 400 cavalry and 500 infantry out of the city to attack the camp.
After many battles, Cao Bianjiao's family cavalry has more than four hundred left.
The night raid went very well.
Although Tang Tong actively offered advice and meritorious service, the troops under his command had no fighting spirit, and felt that with the Qing soldiers in charge, the defenders would not dare to go out of the city to attack.
Unprepared, Cao Bianjiao led the cavalry into the camp, and the infantry set fire to and killed the enemy camp.
Tang Tong woke up in the middle of the night, and was so frightened that he rode his horse and ran away.
"Father, save me ah!"
Tang Tong vaguely heard his son's screams, but he couldn't care less. His son can be reborn after death, but he has nothing when he dies. He frantically rode his horse towards the Qing army camp.
The camps of Tang Tong and Bai Guangen were serialized together, but the camps of the Qing army were separated by a long distance.
Bai Guangen's reaction was similar to Tang Tong's. He rode his horse and fled in the direction of the Qing army's camp.
There were about 2,000 routs, all of whom fled to the Qing army camp. Disrupting the periphery of Dorgon's camp, Dorgon was terrified, and ran in the direction of Haoge in fright, while ordering the soldiers to blow the trumpet to assemble.
Dorgon is very powerful in political struggles, but as for civil affairs and military affairs, to be honest it's terrible.
He was attacked by Cao Bianjiao at night at Xifengkou, and was almost hacked to death on the spot. Now it's a surprise; "Your Majesty, it's not good, the Tartars are attacking Shanhaiguan in the pass!"
"Step up the onslaught!"
A few days ago, Li Zicheng had received news that two forces from the Qing Dynasty had crossed the Great Wall to attack Jizhen.
Li Zicheng felt that Hong Chengchou was capable of playing, and it shouldn't be a problem to defend for two or three months.
Unexpectedly, in less than half a month, the army of Jizhou was already destroyed!
Li Zicheng did not dare to divide his troops back to defend Shanhaiguan, so he could only believe that Ma Ke could hold it. He has attacked Yong'an Fort for 46 days, and he must do his best today.
Tens of thousands of soldiers took turns attacking the city, rushing forward without risking their lives.
The hot oil, gold juice, and rolling logs of the Qing army had long been exhausted, artillery and firecrackers were fired continuously, and the walls of Yong'an Fort were also bombarded in two places.
But just can't get in!
?The Dashun army attacked wildly, while the Manchu Qing army gave up their lives to defend. The intensity of the war far exceeded the battles in the south.
In this day alone, the total casualties on both sides exceeded 8,000.
Huang Taiji's heart is bleeding, more than 600 Manchurian flag soldiers died today. Several times, the surrendered generals like Wu Sangui couldn't stand it, and they let the Manchu heavy armored infantry go up to carry it hard.
"Withdraw!"
At night, Li Zicheng's entire army retreated, and it was meaningless to continue fighting. It would be more beneficial to return to Shanhaiguan for defense.
Huang Taiji immediately sent cavalry to chase after hearing the news.
However, the Dashun elite did not leave any flaws, and even withdrew their troops in an orderly manner. If it were the Ming Dynasty's official army, they would have retreated halfway and fled.
The situation of the war has changed again.
Li Zicheng and Ma Ke were trapped in Shanhaiguan, Huang Taiji led troops to the outside of Shanhaiguan, Haoge and Dorgon led troops to block Shanhaiguan.
(ps: Regarding Li Zicheng¡¯s military discipline of the Dashun Army, it can be divided into two stages. When Beijing was first occupied, Qiu committed no crimes, and the people in the capital were very willing to marry their daughters to Dashun soldiers, and they were proud of it. After the defeat of a piece of stone, The military discipline of the Dashun Army deteriorated rapidly, and they robbed and even raped women during the retreat. Yang Shicong¡¯s record should be the most credible. His wife, second concubine, and daughter committed suicide, and he had a deep hatred with Li Zicheng. Too good to be true.)
