Chapter 304: Liaodong is in crisis
Huang Taiji's tactics were vicious. When Hong Chengchou transferred the Ming army to the vicinity of Yizhou City, he would turn west and head straight to Jinzhou.
By then, even if Hong Chengchou finds out that the industry is too late, first of all, Huang Taiji will cut off the connection between Yizhou and Jinzhou, making it impossible for Hong Chengchou to connect from the beginning and end. Huang Taiji can not only capture Jinzhou City, but also rely on Jinzhou and then catch Hong Chengchou around Yizhou in one go.
If this is the case, the entire Liaodong would be all over. The worst thing is that no one saw Huang Taiji's conspiracy, and even Hong Chengchou plunged in. He mobilized the eight generals of Liaodong and rushed to Yizhou to support him.
Hong Chengchou was determined to win, Wang Pu, Yang Guozhu, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, Cao Bianjiao, Ma Ke, Wang Tingchen, Wu Sangui's eight generals, and 230,000 infantry and cavalry to fight against Huangtaiji.
The main force in the entire Liaodong brought over, striving to destroy Huangtaiji in one fell swoop and completely solve the problem of the Qing Dynasty knocking on the border in Liaodong.
Because Hong Chengchou has this strength, he felt that the Guanning Iron Cavalry is different from the past. First of all, the military pay and food are sufficient, and the soldiers are full of fighting spirit. After the battle in Yizhou City, the Ming army completely won the game from a passively beaten situation. This time, they would beat the Qing soldiers who came from afar and show the power of the Ming Iron Cavalry.
Guanning Iron Cavalry was able to fight against the Qing cavalry, which was one of the reasons why Hong Chengchou dared to take risks. In addition, the city defense of Yizhou City was strong, and then 230,000 troops would be defeated with Zu Dashou of Yizhou City, and they would have to fight the Eight Banners soldiers of Huangtaiji to the point of falling.
Importantly, all the red cannons on the Jinzhou defense line were transported over, waiting for Huangtai to come. The morale of the Ming army soldiers was high, and they were as powerful as tigers in one go.
No one saw Huang Taiji's tactics, and there was no one. Hong Chengchou's eight generals, and no one in the army, saw through it. Everyone was so confused by Huang Taiji's invitation to the king. They all thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. However, no one was thinking, is Huang Taiji really that stupid?
Gu Tou went to attack Yizhou City regardless of his butt, but Huang Taiji never thought about whether his Eight Banners' children buried their bones under the city.
No one thought that a huge opportunity was in front of us, and even when victory was in sight, everyone chose to ignore this. They just felt that this was an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
In addition to the Qi family army in Haitang Mountain.
After this famous anti-Japanese general in the Ming Dynasty, there were only 300 people left at this time. There were 300 Spartan warriors in Greece during the Battle of Hot Spring Pass, and 300 Qi's army in our Ming Dynasty.
The Greek Spartan king Leonida I led 300 elite Spartan soldiers and some Greek city-constitution alliances to resist the Persian Empire at Hot Spring Pass, successfully delayed the attack of Persian troops, and won valuable time to prepare for the battle in Athens and other city-states, making great contributions to the victory in Greece later. However, because of being outnumbered, all 300 Spartan soldiers and the volunteers behind the temple were killed, and Leonida was beheaded, which was the famous Spartan Three Hundred Warriors.
At this time, the Qi family army originally had 217 people. They fought against Su Harun, the son of Adali, the Qing Dynasty, and lost dozens of people. Later, sixty-seven people came from the Ji Liao defense line, and these sixty-seven people were all Zhejiang soldiers. The number of Qi family soldiers is still not large, just 300.
Only Qi Yuanzheng saw Huang Taiji's conspiracy. At the moment, he had to notify Hong Chengchou quickly, otherwise Liaodong would be over.
"Hurry, send someone to inform Governor Hong and tell them that Huang Tai is conspiring, hurry!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a spy from the Qi family rushed in: "General Qi, something is wrong. The Jiannu army has passed Hujia Town and is moving towards Weizigou."
The three of them were frightened when they heard this. Yue Zhongquan swallowed nervously: "General Qi, what should we do? We can't get through."
What Yue Zhongquan said was that the road to Yizhou had been cut off by the Qing soldiers. At this time, even if they sent a message from the messenger, they could not send Hong Chengchou to Hong.
Han Ying looked at the map nervously: "It's over. We have to go to Yizhou in Haitang Mountain and have to pass through Hujia Town. But it has been occupied by Qing soldiers and we can't get through. The news cannot be delivered to Governor Hong. General Qi, what should we do!"
It's so terrible. Huang Taiji's movements are too fast. It's simply a blitzkrieg with cold weapons. The Qing cavalry is really not covered, it's like a storm of wind and lightning. Even if you want to inform Hong Chengchou now, it's too late.
Not to mention that the news could not be delivered, even if the messenger rushed forward, when the messenger delivered the news to Hong Chengchou, Huang Taiji had already arrived in Jinzhou.
The mobilization ability of the Qing soldiers was really terrifying. Back then, the Mongolian cavalry used their fast mobility to sweep the world. Now, the rising Manchus have been deeply influenced by the true teachings of the fast mobility of the cavalry.
It's over, there's no help. Liaodong is waiting to become the hands of the Qing Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty still failed to defend Liaodong after all. Once Jinzhou is lost, the entire Guanning Jin defense line will collapse.
The 230,000 Ming troops in Hong Chengchou's hands were equivalent to being beaten by Huang Taiji.
The last hope is whether Zhu Cixuan's three thousand Hu Ben Army and two thousand Donggong Guards can reach Shanhaiguan. If even Zhu Cixuan can't reach Shanhaiguan, even Shanhaiguan, the last line of defense in Liaodong, cannot be defended.
If that were the case, half of the Ming Dynasty would be defeated by the enemy. Beijing would be completely exposed to Huangtaiji's eyes. The Ming Dynasty's last hope could only move south and move its capital to Nanjing and learn from the Southern Song Dynasty to survive.
The Iron Cavalry of Guanning, Liaodong, and the last elite of the Ming border. Huang Tai was extremely thunderous and wanted to completely wipe out the 230,000 Ming army. He ordered the Eight Banners' children to march quickly and must take over Jinzhou in one fell swoop while Hong Chengchou did not react.
What's so bad is that not only Jinzhou is in defense. Even the Red Cannons guarding the city were transferred by Hong Chengchou and two-thirds of them to support Yizhou.
After a hundred thousand in a hurry, Zhu Cixuan's team finally arrived at Dashi River south of Shanhaiguan. As long as you cross the river, you will arrive at Shanhaiguan.
The battle reports in front had also been heard. The news from Jinzhou was heard, and the postman quickly rushed to Zhu Cixuan who was coming to support him. When Zhu Cixuan saw it, he was shocked.
"What does Hong Chengchou want to do? I'm confused!" Zhu Cixuan only glanced at the battle report and saw Huang Taiji's purpose.
Li Yan and Song Xiance were also shocked when they heard this. When they saw the battle report, Song Xiance was still a little confused. Li Yan pondered for a moment, then looked at each other with Song Xiance. The two said in horror: "Jinzhou."
There are never a shortage of smart people in this world. Huang Taiji's tactics cannot be hidden from Zhu Cilang. Similarly, they have not been hidden from Li Yan and Song Xiance. Because they are both bystanders, they have only hidden from Hong Chengchou and others who are in the game.
Everyone took a breath after reading the battle report ahead. Liaodong, is it really over? That's the 230,000 Ming army, the lives of the 230,000 soldiers and the entire Guanningjin defense line!
No, if Zhu Cilang is there, you will never tolerate such a thing happening.
Zhu Cilang was so angry that his teeth clattered: "Huang Taiji, please wait for me. Our contest has just begun."
