The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 807 Winter Raid
At this time, there was a godsend opportunity, of course, because of the looting of Sichuan, Gao Yingxiang, who used to worry about being hungry, was able to keep his subordinates full for at least half a year.

Gao Yingxiang believes that even if he doesn't get half a year, as long as he can concentrate on training for three months, it is very possible to double the overall strength of his subordinates.

At this time, Hong Chengchou was still in Xi'an City. He really didn't expect that the rogues would join hands with Jiannu, and he was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of rogues without responding in time.

In fact, under the supervision of the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry with more than [-] troops, the Ming army with more than [-]% of the infantry could not escape from the big city. Hong Chengchou was trapped in the city and had nothing to do.

The city of Xi'an is strong, and there are enough troops to defend the city, but there are more than 30 soldiers and civilians here, and there is not enough food for three months.

As long as the siege lasts for a long time, even if the animals are killed early for rations, there will be riots in the city due to food shortages at most four months later.

Hong Chengchou promptly dispatched troops to break through the siege and move the rescuers. He wanted to inform the court of the new situation of Jiannu and bandits joining forces in a timely manner, and asked the emperor to send the elite of the Beijing camp and even the "Red Banner Army" to rescue Xi'an.

Otherwise, at most four months later, not only Hong Chengchou, the king of Qin, Zhu Cunshu, king of Rui, Zhu Changhao, king of Rui, and many county kings, generals of Zhenguo, generals of Fuguo, etc. would all die under the sword of Jiannu and bandits.

This boy Hong Chengchou is not authentic. He thinks that the high walls of Xi'an City have many county kings and two vassal kings, and they must stick to it to ensure safety. Therefore, they brought Cao Wenzhao, Yang Guozhu, Wang Tingchen, and Hu Dawei, who are trustworthy. The commander-in-chief is stationed.

Xianyang, as a horn, can contain the enemy army attacking Xi'an. Wang Chengyun, the military commander of Shaanxi, Du Xun and Du Zhizhi, the eunuchs of the army, led He Renlong, Ma Ke, Tang Tong, Gao Jie, Bai Guangen and other generals to stand firm.

At this time, the Ming army still had some strength. There were more than [-] troops in Xianyang, and no less than [-] in Xi'an.

Gao Yingxiang fought for ten years, and now he is a monkey spirit. He gave up the heavy siege of Xianyang City and concentrated his troops to besiege Xi'an City to death.

Because he knew that falling into the feudal vassal was a serious crime, and now there were not only King Qin but also King Rui in Xi'an, the Xianyang garrison should not dare to sit back and watch Xi'an be besieged, and it was only natural to send troops to rescue.

His arrangement is also very cunning, the purpose is to let the Qing army focus on the Xianyang garrison, because it can be confirmed that the Xianyang garrison will dispatch to attack Xi'an.

The purpose of Jierhalang and Azig's entry into the customs this time is clear. To make a big noise in Shaanxi, they must force the Ming emperor to mobilize the "Red Banner Army".

It is known that there are two vassal kings and many county kings in Xi'an city, and the attack here is the place where the Ming army must save. The Qing army suffered from the lack of many troops and no ability to attack, so they have been confronting Hong Chengchou's troops.

It's all right now, the Qing army doesn't need to attack fortified positions, they only need to use their strengths in raids and field battles to cooperate with the bandits of the Ming Dynasty, and they will have a chance to capture Xi'an City.

All the Manchu and Mongolian generals don't mind fighting for reinforcements, and fighting for reinforcements is really the strength of the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry, which has been tried and tested.

Due to the successful alliance with the bandits of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry had hundreds of thousands more people who could be used as cannon fodder. Fan Wencheng, the instigator, succeeded in his strategy.

The status of this traitor among the Manchu and Mongolian generals such as Jierhalang and Azig is increasing day by day.

Jierhalang has sent a team of messengers to rush out of customs and return to Shengjing to report the shocking news to Chongde. It is estimated that it will not be until the first month of next year to receive the imperial decree from Chongde again.

The atmosphere in Liaodong this autumn is unprecedentedly tense, with no one else, and people's hearts are floating.

Not only is there a large-scale reduction in food production, it is expected that too many people will starve to death next spring, but also because half of North Korea is lost and half of North Korea has lost contact.

Chao Hal, who carried the imperial decree of Chongde, went to Pyongyang and has not heard from him so far.

The exhausted Hong Jie not only has to worry about the war, but also has to deal with Dorgon's doubts.

Since the Qing Dynasty had begun to decline, Chongde's prestige continued to decline. When he was unable to turn the tide, he also tore up his face and did not engage in the principle of fairness, deliberately expanding the strength of his eldest son Hauge.

In order to replenish the troops, the operation to arrest the raw Jurchen in the north has been going on, and more than half of the young and middle-aged men obtained have been supplemented to the yellow banner directly led by Haoge, which made Haoge expand by fifteen cattle this year.

You have to suffer every day when you are sad!Hong is able to estimate that there will be no good news from the North Korean side, and can only expect Azig and Jierhalang to bring surprises.

I have been scheming against Dodo and Dorgon, and now I can confirm that Dodo may be doomed this time, but Hong is not happy, but more sad than the death of the rabbit.

Feeling that the so-called Great Qing Dynasty had begun to decline, many foreign vassals and Mongolians had been separated from Germany, and many chiefs left Liaodong for one reason or another and took their clansmen to migrate north.

Without the food handed over by North Korea, Liaodong is facing a food crisis. Some Mongolians choose to leave, and Hong can only let it go.

You hit you, I hit mine is Huang Han's established strategy, not letting the enemy lead by the nose is the basic principle.

When Jiannu, Tartars and rogue bandits started fighting under the city of Xi'an, the Shanxi Front Army of the "Red Banner Army" had already opened up in the Ordos prairie.

Hanzi, Yang Danian, Fang Liandong and other generals of the Shanxi Front Army continued to work on storing autumn grain after finishing the autumn harvest. When they were preparing to launch the autumn offensive, a new situation appeared, and they had to postpone the plan.

That's because the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry invaded Shaanxi and caused a wave of exiles in Shanxi. The general's order was not to starve to death a single Han.

Relief and protection for them to pass through Shanxi to Shanhaiguan or "Tiger Cave City" to take a boat to "Hanjiang Province" resettlement is a task that the Shanxi Front Army must complete.

It took two months to safely send hundreds of thousands of Qin refugees out of Shanxi to the sea, and the planned autumn offensive turned into a winter raid.

At the end of October, 4 soldiers of the Shanxi Front Army went out of Piantouguan to kill and rush to the winter camp of the Mongols in Ordos, which had been reconnaissance many times.

[-] cavalry rushed to attack, and the lightning was too fast to cover their ears.

Originally, Bo'er Zhijin Erlinchen was not a hero with great talent and generality. Although his men were several thousand, the well-equipped elites would not exceed three thousand in total.

At this time, he had sent his younger brother Du Zhelei to lead [-] elites to follow Jiannu into the side wall of Yansui Town, and now he couldn't bear the thunderbolt even more.

The Tartars who slaughtered all directions in the pass did not expect that they would be homeless. Not only would they lose their homes, but they would also lose most of their relatives.

This winter camp of the Tazi is not only the direct tribe of Elinchen, but also many large and medium tribes, with 8 or [-] people spreading out for a radius of more than ten miles.

I don’t know how many years I haven’t seen the cavalry of the Ming army in the Hetao area. After Lin Danhan’s death, Er Linchen recognized the master who built the slaves, and now half of the elite are still serving the master.

Therefore, Er Linchen had no sense of prevention at all, and the camp was just a loose settlement.
