After seeing the prisoners of Ningyuan Zhongzuo Station escaping, Yuan Zongdi led his men back and easily occupied the guard city. Later, he used this as a stronghold to send Ye Fushou to Jinzhou to investigate the situation of the captives.
……………………
The next day, on the Jinzhou side, Zhenhe Luohui, who had mounted a yellow flag on the mountain forehead, felt that on the Ningyuan side, Turge and the Ming army had almost exhausted each other, so he ordered his men to assemble and set off.
Now that Huang Taiji is not dead yet, he does not dare to act too much. Otherwise, if Huang Taiji was punished and said that he failed to rescue him, he would not be able to bear the consequences.
However, when he led his troops only ten miles out of the city, he met the scouts he sent out to report back, saying that Ningyuan was defeated!
"How is it possible!" He Luohui heard this and didn't believe it at all, "Turg is just a pig, but Ningyuan City is tall and solid and has complete defenses, so it can always hold on for a few days, right? It's only been a few days, and they have already been defeated?" "
In short, he didn't believe in the rewards from exploring the horse. Because these detective horses did not go to Ningyuan City, but they reported that they met the detective horses from the Zhongzuo Institute.
Therefore, He Luohui continued to lead his troops to Ningyuan. However, he was still a little worried because of the news, so he ordered to speed up the march.
As a result, he just led his troops to Guangning Zhongtun Station, and happened to meet the captives who had escaped from Ningyuan Zhongzuo Station.
Originally, when he saw these Jianlu soldiers abandoning the city and fleeing back, he was furious and prepared to order their punishment.
As a result, the heads of the real captives of Ningyuan were placed in front of He Luohui. There were more than 400 heads, just placed in a pile.
At this sight, He Luohui's face turned pale. In his life, he had never seen so many heads of Qing warriors. Many of them were known to him and were displayed in front of him.
His men were all similar to him, and they were all stunned.
Everything I saw before my eyes will probably never be forgotten in my life!
When he came back to his senses, He Luohui no longer cared about dealing with the Jianlu who had escaped. Instead, he immediately ordered the entire army to be on alert, and then asked for specific details.
However, he could only know that Turge and others were all captured alive by the Ming army. However, no matter how specific the situation was, he could not know because of the shielding of the Ming Cavalry. I only know that the Ming army has said that it will attack Jinzhou again.
After knowing this situation, He Luohui was scared for the first time in his life.
To be honest, Turge's reputation in the Qing Dynasty is greater than that of He Luohui. Moreover, Ningyuan's garrison was larger than his Jinzhou garrison. Now, Turge's entire army was wiped out, and even he himself was captured alive by the Ming army. How could He Luohui resist the Ming army and dare to lead his troops to die?
At this time, he was really scared.
Soon, He Luohui issued a military order, and the entire army turned around and returned to Jinzhou City. At the same time, Babaili rushed to report the war situation here to Shengjing, and begged for reinforcements or permission to withdraw.
……………………
Naturally, he didn't know that the main force of the Ming army at this time had gathered its troops and headed back after resting in Ningyuan City for a day. All the baggage and other equipment were transported by the prisoners, including five or six Hongyi cannons. Anyway, all the labor work was done by the prisoners.
Of course, Yuan Zongdi's troops are still bluffing on the side of Ningyuan Zhongzuo. In addition to Liu Wenxiu's troops who arrived later, there were more than 4,000 cavalry troops in total, blocking Jianlu's exploration in the direction of Ningyuan, and at the same time intimidating Jianlu, as if the Ming army was about to launch an offensive against Jinzhou.
At this moment, Zhang Mingwei was outside Ningyuan City, looking back at Ningyuan City which was once again deserted. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said to Liu Jin: "Send someone to write a few big words, just four words: welcome again!"
By the way, the reading app I am using recently has many book sources, complete books, and fast updates!
Upon hearing these words, Kunxing Princess Zhu Aina couldn't help but smile and said: "Sir, it's really interesting. If Jianlu sees these four words, he will vomit blood, right?"
When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "It wouldn't be a good idea if a few Jianlu were angry to death because of this!"
After saying that, he turned the horse's head and started to walk back.
On the way back, there are still three Jianlu garrison posts to be demolished, totaling about 6,000 Jianlu soldiers.
Although after capturing Ningyuan City, some of his generals excitedly suggested that they should take advantage of this great victory to attack Jinzhou. However, Zhang Mingwei did not agree to this proposal.
The plans from the beginning were all made around Ning Yuan. Although it was a great victory, the food and grass needed by the army was limited, which was not enough to support another Jinzhou War.
Because Jinzhou has nothing to hold back. As for Jinzhou's city defense, it also came from a fortified city. The suddenness of the attack has been lost, and Jianlu is not really weak. How can Jinzhou be so easy to defeat!
Once Jinzhou City cannot be captured quickly, the army and food supplies will be exhausted, and when the Jianlu reinforcements arrive, the Ming army will suffer a loss. Therefore, it is better to give up when the situation is good and bite Jianlu a piece of meat at a time. That is the most correct way to fight.
After this battle, Shanhaiguan is going to take a good rest.
Although there were not many casualties among the soldiers, the consumption of more than 20,000 cavalry troops was equivalent to the consumption of nearly 100,000 infantry troops. Including the infantry and navy, the consumption of food and grass in this battle is really a lot!
Now that the Ming Dynasty has just recovered from the war, it still needs to focus on restoring people's livelihood.
The next battle against the prisoners will still depend on Dongjiang Town according to the previous plan.
There was such a big commotion at Ning Jin's side. When Jianlu found out, his attention was completely focused here. And the sudden addition of Li Guo and Gao Yigong's troops in Dongjiang Town can take them by surprise.
Just like that, bite Jianlu on the left and bite Jianlu on the right, see how long Jianlu can hold on!
As long as Ming Dynasty does not mess up, to be honest, it is not really difficult to defeat Jianlu. The gap in national strength between the two sides is simply not something that can be bridged.
………………
Two days later, the army arrived at Ningyuan Zhongyou Station. Jianlu's strength here is only about a thousand people.
Previously, more than 20,000 Ming Dynasty riders passed by in a mighty manner, which made Jianlu panic all the time.
They had been waiting for the news anxiously, hoping that the Ming cavalry would be defeated by the Qing army stationed in Ningyuan City, and then rush to rescue them and fight the Ming infantry behind them.
Unexpectedly, what they were waiting for was that they did not wait for the Ming Dynasty infantry to appear. Instead, they finally waited for the Ming Dynasty cavalry to return.
What frightened them the most was that there were five to six thousand money rat tails working hard in the Ming cavalry. At a glance, you can tell that these are Qing troops captured by the Ming army. This time, they were extremely frightened.
Ningyuan City was captured by the Ming army? Was the Qing army defeated by the Ming army?
This knowledge made their fear reach its peak.
When Turg and about fifty other real Tatars were led by the Ming army for a walk outside the city, all the Jianlu in the Ningyuan Zhongyou Station collapsed. Except for a few Jianlu who committed suicide, the others surrendered.
After all, the Ningyuan Zhongyou Division only had about a thousand troops, and even Ningyuan City was captured by the Ming Army. How could they withstand the Ming Army's attack.
Then, the Ming army continued to return to the division, and then faced the Guangning Zhonghou Post, where there were about 2,000 captives. Just like Ning Yuan Zhongyou before, when he saw the Ming army escorting Jianlu prisoners over, he was also extremely shocked and fearful.
However, it may be because there were about 2,000 prisoners in the Guangning Zhonghou Post. Although they were afraid, they did not surrender immediately like the Ningyuan Zhongyou Post.
Therefore, Zhang Mingwei didn't waste any time, and immediately ordered the Hongyi cannon to be deployed, preparing to bombard the city and attack.
In fact, the best use of the Hongyi cannon is not to defend the city or to fight in the field, but to attack the city. The city is just there, impossible to move. The Hongyi cannon was set up there, firing accurately.
Ordinary cities simply cannot withstand the bombardment of Hongyi cannons. Guard cities such as Guangning Zhonghousuo are naturally within this range.
After seeing the Ming army displaying seven or eight Hongyi cannons, the Jianlu in the city immediately became intimidated. The Han and Korean soldiers began to rebel, kidnapped the real Tatars, and Kaicheng surrendered.
Just like that, almost without a single blow, they captured the second Jianlu garrison city.
At this time, Zhang Mingwei sent an order to Yuan Zongdi, allowing him to lead his troops and withdraw.
By the time Yuan Zongdi caught up with the main force, the Ming army had already arrived in Guangning to garrison.
The Jianlu here were on the front line of the battle with the Ming army in Shanhaiguan, so their strength reached more than 3,000, and the Tatar leader was the Eduotai.
Just like the Jianlu behind him, in Eduotai's view, after the Ming cavalry passed by, there would definitely be more infantry troops escorting the grain and grass to follow.
But who knows, after waiting for several days, he didn't even see a fart.
So, he was puzzled.
Of course Eduotai sent detective horses to investigate the situation, but there was no movement of troops until Shanhaiguan, which made him a little dumbfounded.
As for the other side, there was a shield from the Ming Cavalry, so he couldn't get any news at all.
Eduotai has never encountered this situation before, and for a while, it was a bit unclear how to deal with it. Of course, in his understanding, although the Ming Dynasty's cavalry army was a bit large, there were about 20,000 in the past, but Ningyuan had an army of more than 20,000, and this cavalry was of little use in the past.
Therefore, he could only make up his mind to stick to it and wait for the further development of things.
As a result, after waiting and waiting, the squadron of the Ming Dynasty Cavalry arrived. Seeing that Turge was captured by the Ming army, Eduotai was shocked. Needless to say, there is no need to say more.
Compared to other guards, although it was very shocking, it was impossible to get him to surrender.
Zhang Mingwei didn't do much to persuade him to surrender. If he didn't surrender, would he? Hongyi cannon is waiting!
Anyway, it's close enough to Shanhaiguan and far enough away from Jinzhou that you can spend as many days as you like.
Just like that, under the rumbling sound of artillery, the Guangning former garrison was bombarded beyond recognition, and the Ming army also had an absolute advantage and overwhelmed the Jianlu here.
At this point, the Ningyuan war that had been planned for many months was over, and the good news spread to the capital!
