"Reply to the commander-in-chief, the regent... no, it's the rebel Donina who has led the army day and night to Shengjing, no, to Shenyang!"
How dare that prisoner deceive Qin Mingtao? Of course, it was like pouring beans, and everything was said.
"Going to Shenyang? Why?" Qin Mingtao didn't know that more than 10,000 cavalry commanded by Huang Degong and Tian Yiqing were already wandering around outside Shenyang.
It turns out that Manchuria's number one Batulu Obai dared to defend the city because he couldn't figure out the reality. Therefore, the outside of Shenyang City became the territory where the "50,000 Ming Army" went wild.
Of course, Obai's avoidance of war was not due to incompetence, but rather the caution that a weak side in a war should have. The 10,000 forward battalion cavalry that Obai has on hand are mainly composed of old Manchus. They are the most important capital in the hands of the "Three Prosperities" Qing Dynasty - as long as this army is still there, even if the Qing Dynasty retreats to the Heilongjiang River Basin, it will be able to fight again. He lingered for a while.
If these more than 10,000 forward battalion cavalry were completely destroyed outside Shenyang, then the Qing Dynasty would not even have the capital to survive for a few years!
Therefore, after leading his army to Shenyang, Oboi became a shrunken turtle, resolutely unable to retreat and waiting for Dhoni's main force to arrive.
Contrary to Ao Bai's "cowardice", Huang Degong and Tian Yiqing were extremely courageous. After discovering that the Qing army only dared to hold on and did not dare to go out. They simply continued their bluff and established a camp at Shaling Dun in the east of Shenyang City. At the same time, most of the cavalry in hand were dispersed into strengthened companies (the Mongolian cavalry of the Karaqin tribe was strengthened), and they went wild around Shenyang City, robbing people and food, and sometimes arresting some famous traitors. Public execution!
As a result, the people around Shenyang were panicked. Whether they were traitors or ordinary Qing army family members, they no longer dared to stay in the countryside. They abandoned the wheat fields that had only been harvested for a small part and fled east or north.
There are also some traitors or military relatives who live closer to the south who do not dare to run north, but choose to flee south. They probably want to escape to North Korea on the other side of the Yalu River for a while. These people do not know that North Korea has changed. Damn it, I thought that was Dolbo’s territory!
Among those who chose not to escape, many of them went astray and collided with Dorni's main army heading north. Therefore, many people in Dorni's army knew that the main force of the Ming army had already invaded Shengjing Mansion. news!
"Of course I went to fight the soldiers who attacked Shenyang..." The prisoner who confessed honestly couldn't help but tremble when he mentioned the soldiers who invaded Shengjing Mansion.
The officers and soldiers all went to Shenyang City and burned to death. How could the Qing Dynasty, which was in the midst of the Three Rebellion, survive? Whether he was alive or dead in the Qing Dynasty had little to do with him, but his family members also lived near Shenyang City. I wonder if they were killed by the army?
"Officers and soldiers..." Qin Mingtao nodded slightly. He knew that the prisoner was talking about the more than 10,000 cavalry led by Huang Degong.
More than 10,000 cavalry actually fought with the majesty of the main force... Qin Mingtao said in his heart: Donglu can't help but fight more and more!
"Then what's going on with you?" Qin Mingtao asked, "Why don't you go to Shenyang?"
“Alas,” the prisoner sighed, “We were originally going to Shenyang, but when we arrived at the Hara River, we received an urgent report that four to five thousand troops had landed at the mouth of the Liao River and had made a surprise attack on Liangfangkou Pass. So Melezhang Jingtuhai was ordered to take Niulu, who was young, to go south to resist the army. Unexpectedly..."
"How many of you are there?" Qin Mingtao asked.
"I don't know how many people there are. The young one is just a Dadan Zhangjing..." The prisoner looked at Qin Mingtao furtively and saw that his face was sinking. He quickly changed his words, "But the young one knows that Tu Hai is Going south with eight Jia La."
Li Shaowen, commander of the division staff, interjected, "Commander, there are currently 250 people in one Niulu in Donglu, 1,300 people in one Jia La including Jia La Yamen, and there should be more than 10,000 people in eight Jia La... It’s just right!”
More than 10,000 people, no more, no less, just enough to be wiped out...
"How many of these eight armors are cavalry armors?" Qin Mingtao asked again.
"They are all infantry," the prisoner said. "Now there are not many cavalry in Donglu... Only the forward battalion of more than 10,000 people and the heroic cavalry battalion of more than 10,000 people are cavalry. There are also Shanhaiguan and Vladivostok. Angbang Zhangjing's troops in , Jinzhou, Yizhou, Heilongjiang, Heishan and other places are all equipped with horses. As for the eight Jia La led by Tuhai, they are all composed of peasant soldiers, so they have no horses."
Nowadays, the peasant soldiers in Manchuria are different from the government soldiers in Dashun. Although the latter is also based on land, there are many people in Sichuan and Yunnan, so they can eat the land rent, and Dashun strictly implements the policy of making a hole, so that the soldiers can spend enough time and energy on practicing combat skills. superior.
The peasants and soldiers in Manchuria had no tenants to exploit and had to farm their own land. Moreover, they themselves were also the targets of exploitation by the Manchu aristocrats - Manchu peasants and soldiers had to pay taxes while serving, which was a very heavy burden. Therefore, there is not much time to contact martial arts, especially Kung Fu on horseback. Even if there is a horse at home, it is used to pull carts and plow the fields, and I don't want to ride it at all.
Moreover, Doni did not require these farmers and soldiers to bring their own horses for service - the horses owned by these farmers and soldiers were production tools. Now that the strong men who worked hard had gone to serve as soldiers, if the horses were taken away, the farming work would be abandoned.
Qin Mingtao nodded, "After interrogating the other prisoners, if the confessions are consistent, we will send troops!" He paused, "Except for the Sixth Regiment, the other officers and soldiers of the various units will rest immediately... Let's also take a nap and sleep. When you're satisfied, have a good meal before hunting down Donglu!
The enemy...can't escape! "
In fact, the enemy has no intention of running away!
Because the enemy does not know how well the young officers and soldiers of the Ming Army's Guards Division can run... Except for a very few middle- and senior-level officers who can march on horseback, most of the officers and soldiers of this division are very young, and none of them have Exception has undergone years of rigorous training, and his physical fitness is first-rate and his stamina is excellent.
Most of the more than 10,000 people in Tuhai's hands are elderly uncles. They can do farm work and can fight under the organization of Manchurian officers. However, if they have to march hard, their physical fitness is much worse than that of the young guards of the Ming army. too much.
But Tu Hai didn't know how terrifying the enemy he faced was... It wasn't that he didn't know at all, but he knew a little bit.
Because his Jiala Zhangjing Eshan Division was defeated by the Ming Army Young Guards who were only half their number during the day today. Six or seven hundred of the more than 1,200 Jiala were lost, and those who ran back They have also thrown away their armor and lost their appearance.
"E Shan, your fake defeat seems too real, right?"
In a temporary camp north of Liangfangkou Pass, Tuhai looked at the five or six hundred remnant soldiers staggering around, and couldn't help but criticize Eshan...
"Fake defeat? Why am I faking defeat? I was really defeated, and I almost lost my life!" E Shan is an old Manchurian from Xianghuang Banner. He gave up the courtyard house in Beijing after the victory in Shengdian and came to the Northeast to follow Duo. Duo, Doni's. He had fought against the Ming army when he was in the pass, but the Ming army he met today refreshed his understanding.
"It's amazing..." Eshan shook his head repeatedly, "There are only about 500 people. I want to give them a hard blow first, and then wait for their group to come up and then pretend to be defeated. Who knows when they come up and use muskets?" It won't work if you shoot at them... They will send out small teams to spread out, approach from the wheat field with their waist down, and then suddenly fire their guns, hitting everyone accurately!
In a short time, more than a hundred of me were killed! The remaining people were scared to death... Taking advantage of our confusion, their group came closer and fired. After a while, we were beaten into chaos, and then they launched an attack. It's impossible to stop it! "
Tu Hai took a breath and said: "It seems that this Ming army is their elite... But that's fine. The prince has prepared an army of 60,000, ambushing them on three sides, just waiting for us to lure them away." I can annihilate them in one fell swoop in the past!”
As soon as he said this, a burst of intense gunshots came from the wilderness to the south!
Tu Hai's face darkened, and he whispered: "Here he is! You've come well... This is the blessing of our ancestors. We can fight another Salhu!"
