Chapter 305 Hot-blooded man runs to Jinzhou
In fact, it was too late. Hong Chengchou's 230,000 Ming troops were likely to be completely wiped out.
Zhu Cixuan and his team had not yet arrived at Shanhaiguan, and Hong Chengchou's army had already been transferred to the Yizhou outer defense line. At this time, Jinzhou City was already in a state of empty defense.
The biggest way to reduce losses is to march urgently. Huben Camp and Donggong Guard seized Shanhaiguan and used Shanhaiguan as the last line of defense to block the invading Qing soldiers.
But Zhu Cilang was still hesitating. Could it be that the Guanningjin defense line in Liaodong was given to the enemy in vain? Who is the life of more than 200,000 Ming soldiers? He is a time traveler, and finally history repeats itself.
"Transfer the order from this palace, march quickly and rush to Jinzhou!" Zhu Cixuan made a stupid decision.
"No!" Fortunately, Li Yan stopped him: "Your Highness, you must not. Jinzhou has become the enemy's bag. At this time, he will only fill us in to help Jinzhou."
Song Xiance next to him also said, "Yes, your highness, we are too far away from Jinzhou. I am afraid that we will have already lost the situation when we go over. For the sake of our plan, we will occupy the Shanhaiguan Fortress and prevent the enemy from entering the pass. At the same time, we quickly allocated three major camps and selected 100,000 elite troops to go to Shanhaiguan. After defending Shanhaiguan, we will guard our last line of defense."
Zhu Cilang was still hesitating, and he didn't know this truth. But how could the Ming Dynasty, which had been working hard to manage the Guanningjin defense line for decades, watch it lose all its opponents? Also, Hong Chengchou's 230,000 Ming troops could finally rush out.
Seeing Zhu Cilang so hesitated, Song Xiance couldn't help but be anxious: "Your Highness, you must be in trouble. Your Highness, order the three armies to enter Shanhaiguan, Your Highness!"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Cilang shook his head: "I can't watch the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty lose their enemies like this. I will pass on the military orders of this palace. Li Yan and Song Xiance, I will order you to lead the Eastern Palace Guard to guard Shanhaiguan and Huben Camp, and follow me to continue north and rush to Jinzhou."
"Your Highness!" Li Yan and Song Xiance spoke in unison to dissuade him.
Zhu Cilang has made up his mind: "The 230,000 Ming troops cannot be finished like this. The city can be lost, and the Guanningjin defense line can be ignored. But I cannot lose any of my soldiers from the Ming Dynasty. The Hu Ben Camp will obey the orders!"
Three thousand tiger camps, passionate men flee to Jinzhou.
Zhan Yunpeng and Linghu Yunlong stood up like javelins: "The last one is here!"
"Follow me to help Jinzhou, tear open a hole, and rescue our brothers."
"The last one will be ordered."
Li Yan and Song Xiance looked at each other, and they knew they could not persuade each other. Even when Hu Ben Camp arrived in Jinzhou at this time, Jinzhou had already fallen. At that time, Huangtaiji would use Jinzhou as a springboard and surrounded Hong Chengchou, who was in Yizhou City, and caught a turtle in a jar.
The Three Thousand Tiger Camps can only fight head-on. They will fight to the death and let Hong Chengchou's remaining troops escape. Otherwise, the Liaodong Ming army surrounded by Huang Taiji and the surrounding areas may be completely wiped out.
However, these three thousand Hu Ben Camps were all the hard work of Zhu Cilang. Zhu Cilang used them to fight against 200,000 Qing soldiers, and he felt distressed. These people were all good generals who chose one from a thousand, and each of them was the elite who fought against ten. It was not worth it to let them fight head-on on the battlefield.
But this is not the case. The 230,000 Ming troops on Hong Chengchou's side are finished. As Zhu Cixuan said, it doesn't matter if the city is lost, but if the Guanningjin defense line is gone. The lives of the Ming soldiers are above everything else, and they will be left without worrying about burning firewood. As long as the people are still there, in the future, all these lost things will be taken back one by one.
"Your Highness, let me follow me." Li Yan said.
"Your Highness, let's go with us!" Yuan Xiaoxiao and the others from the East Palace Guard said.
"Your Highness, let's go to Jinzhou and fight with them!" everyone shouted.
Zhu Cixuan was very pleased. At least, the team he brought out did not disappoint himself: "Shanhaiguan is the last barrier of our Ming Dynasty. Stay behind you, the task is heavier. Because behind you are the people of the Ming Dynasty! Keep Shanhaiguan and prevent Jiannu from moving forward. The Eastern Palace Guards obey orders and immediately start you, led by military advisors Li Yan and Song Xiance. The soldiers of the Huben Camp will march immediately and rush to Jinzhou, hurry up!"
Is Jinzhou going to be over? Is Guanning Jin defense line going to completely collapse? Is Huang Taiji's ambition going to be realized...
Huang Taiji thought so himself, and this time he came out in full swing. Prince Zheng Jirgalang, Dorobele Dododo, Prince Wuying Ajige, Prince Rui Dorgon, and Huang Taiji could take all the troops he mobilized.
After passing Hujia Town, Jinzhou is not far away. Give full play to the advantages of the cavalry and take advantage of Hong Chengchou's response to the quick battle and decisive battle. No matter how much the price is, Jinzhou must be captured.
According to reliable information, Jinzhou has now become an empty city with less than a thousand defenders. Hong Chengchou has a lifetime of fame, but he did not expect to fall apart here. Huang Taiji's mouth even smiled.
Taking Jinzhou, he would directly cut off Hong Chengchou's retreat. Not to mention fighting, he would be trapped to death. The Ming army, who had no logistics support, was the fish on the chopping board and the lamb to be slaughtered.
230,000 Ming troops, I'll be good. Defeat this Ming army in Liaodong is within reach of the world.
Huang Taiji, who became more and more excited as he thought about it, pulled the horse's reins and shouted: "Hurry up, speed up! The first person to climb the Jinzhou city wall will be rewarded with tens of taels. I have appointed him as the lord of Jinzhou city, and he will enjoy all the silk women in the city!"
The Qing cavalry who started out as a robbery cheered all the time when they heard this. In their eyes, Jinzhou was already like taking things out of their pockets. The temptation given by the emperor was so great that the first person to climb the city was the city lord.
When the Eight Banners soldiers heard this, their morale was greatly boosted. They galloped along the way, and Jinzhou was in danger.
Haitangshan, the Qi family army could not send out information. He knew the Qing army's plan, but the road to sending letters was cut off by the Qing army. What should I do? I can't watch the enemy's conspiracy, but I can't think of any solution.
Hong Chengchou of Yizhou City suddenly became panicked at this time. This surprised him. He had been in the army for decades and had never felt this way.
What's going on? Could it be that I have to fight to the death with the enemy? Are I afraid of Huangtaiji? No, I, Hong Chengchou, have long wanted to cut off Huangtaiji's head. If you want to say you are not afraid, why are you panic?
At Haitangshan Lihua Village, suddenly, Qi Yuanzheng punched the map: "I thought of a solution, maybe I can notify Governor Hong."
Yue Zhongquan and Han Ying were overjoyed when they heard this: "What's the solution?"
If the Qi family army in Haitangshan could notify Hong Chengchou, it would be too late. If this were the case, the situation would be saved. But who knew that Qi Yuanzheng's face was not at all joy, which made the two of them feel a little strange.
