Win the Ding 1617

The relationship between chance and necessity has always been a topic that philosophers have been talking about. ,

Philosophers define inevitability as an unavoidable, definite trend that must occur in the change and development of objective things.It occupies a dominant position in the development of things, and defines the future and direction of things. The characteristic of inevitability is certainty.

And by chance, I don't have such a thick waist and tall background.It refers to the indeterminate tendency that the change and development of objective things are not inevitable, but may or may not appear, and may appear in this way or in that way.

The relationship between the two is stipulated by philosophers in this way, inevitability is hidden in contingency, and any contingency is always subject to inevitability.The two work together.

But military commanders and statesmen hate the contingency that so delights philosophers.In their view, this chance is extremely destructive.Often a little inconspicuous factor can ruin a great plan and career.

For example, a few bullets from Princip sent Archduke Ferdinand to see God. A few years later, the Austro-Hungarian Empire he was supposed to take over, the German Empire as an ally, and the Russian Empire of his cousin’s family became his. funeral objects.

For example, the unexpected shell in the Battle of Verdun destroyed tens of thousands of shells, ruined the German army's plan, and saved the dying situation of the Allied Powers.

What is currently happening on the Liaodong battlefield also provides a good example for philosophers.

Cao Zhenyan's two shells were originally intended to deal with the Guards Brigade's offensive array, but because the gunner's skills were too poor, they seriously deviated from the expected target, but in the end, they received a surprising effect.

Not to mention interrupting Li Huamei's handsome flag at the waist, even the owner of this handsome flag accidentally broke two ribs.Cannot stand and command.

"Quick! Take the princess down! Brothers of Lu Ying, follow me and beat up these sons of bitches!"

In this extremely chaotic time, Shi Lang's determination and determination played a role. He ordered several female soldiers to escort Li Huamei back, and ordered Fat Ya to raise the flag again.Use semaphore and trumpet to inform Lu Yunsheng and others that the princess is fine, just go ahead and attack!

Seeing Li Huamei's commander-in-chief standing in place, and seeing the brigade arriving, the officers and soldiers of the Guards Brigade were suddenly relieved, and turned into anger. "Damn it, it's fine to bombard us with cannonballs, but you dare to attack the eldest lady! And spread rumors, damn it!"

In the narrow corridor from Hongluo Mountain to Baitai Mountain.Suddenly there was a more intense sound of guns and shouts than before.

Different from the hand-to-hand combat just now, the officers and soldiers of the Guards Brigade rushing up this time were completely ruthless, and adopted a method that others thought was very unsophisticated: the firecrackers were filled with sub-drugs, and the firecrackers were charged to the front with their faces flat. Before the ferocious Liao thieves fought, they pulled the trigger face to face, knocking the Liao thieves to the ground one by one.

Emotion and tactics were combined in one place, and the Guards Brigade went smoothly at once.

"Okay! Brothers, work harder. This gang of Liao thieves is finished!"

Lu Yunsheng excitedly pushed up the helmet, letting the wind blow his sweaty forehead.

"Lu Xietong! This battle can no longer be fought!"

Shi Lang appeared in front of Lu Yunsheng nervously. "We have to retreat to the camp!"

"Why! I just need to take one more step forward, and I will completely separate the slaves in front of me from the enemies of Tashan, and surround Tashan Dorgon!"

"Lu Xietong, look!"

He followed Shi Lang's finger and looked towards Tashan in the east, but seeing the flag of the Ming army falling in disorder, they retreated one after another.Only Wu Sangui's handsome flag was still retreating slowly under the protection of several flags, but it was also powerless in the face of the crazy counterattack of the bordered white flag.Facing the direction of Baitai Mountain, a large number of Zhengbai Banners were moving fast, obviously the main force of Zhengbai Banner came to help.

At the most critical moment, Guan Ningjun once again demonstrated his professional skills of selling teammates.

All over the mountains and plains, Jiannu were shouting the news of Li Huamei's death.This was a huge blow to the morale of the army in an age when the means of communication were extremely primitive and one could only rely on banners, golden drums and messengers to convey messages.Although after Shuai Qi was knocked down by artillery fire, Shi Lang reacted very quickly and ordered someone to set up Shuai Qi again, and then used the drum flag to convey the news that the princess was safe.but.Guan Ning's army couldn't understand the Southern Guangdong Army's bugle numbers, and couldn't understand the semaphore. They almost lost the original Ming Army's banner. How could they master the Southern Guangdong Army's communication methods in a short time?Secondly, the re-established handsome flag is naturally much shorter, which to some extent confirms the cries of the Liaodong rebels.

For a while, the army was in turmoil.

Still, that wasn't the straw that broke the camel's back.

The last straw was that the civil servants who were originally watching and cheering on the edge of the battlefield, who were going to fight for themselves in the victory test book in the future, gave Guan Ningjun this skinny camel added.

Originally on the edge of the battlefield, while watching the gunfire and shouting and killing, while reciting poems and composing Fu, searched hard. Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of the Wei Dynasty, felt the same way when he wrote poems on the red cliff.

This Zhang Ruoqi, Zhang Langzhong, is a powerful figure in the Ministry of War, and he is highly valued by Chen Xinjia, Minister of the Ministry of War. Otherwise, he would not have been sent to the Liaodong battlefield to accumulate meritorious service.The Zhifang Division of the Ministry of War he worked for, the full name is "Zhifang Qingli Division", one of the four divisions of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, in charge of the maps of the provinces, the citation of military officials, verification, rewards and punishments, pensions, and military inspections and tests. .A lot of power.Originally, in the years of Wanli and Tianqi, the chief town of Jiubian would kneel down and kowtow for such an official position when he saw him.However, since the Chongzhen Dynasty, the power of military attaches in the court has gradually become domineering, and these officials who are from the top ranks can't help but sigh when they think of the great achievements of their predecessors.

Today at the foot of Hongluo Mountain, several adults were drinking and composing poems. In their hearts, they felt that they had given these warriors great honor.Unexpectedly, bursts of ecstatic roars erupted from the Liao thieves on the battlefield, conveying a terrible news.Seeing that Li Huamei's handsome flag fell down, although it soon stood up again, it also brought great panic to these adults.

At that time, Li Shimin fought Song Laosheng, a famous general of the Sui army.When Wang Shichong dealt with Li Mi of the Wagang Army, he used to create false information on the battlefield that the enemy commander was captured to confuse the opponent and create panic and confusion in the enemy army.The difference is that Li Shimin ordered his subordinates to yell to catch Song Laosheng, while Wang Shichong chose a person similar to Li Mi from among his soldiers to pretend to be.

However, these are far less intense than the artillery fire destroying the handsome flag!

These guys immediately became panicked!

"Quick! Bring the Fubiao back!"

Qiu Minyang was the first to lose his composure.As a local official in Liaodong, he knows the power of the rebels in Liaodong. Moreover, the officers and soldiers have always killed Nurhachi and Huang Taiji several times. He has never heard that the Liao rebels lied about their military achievements. How about?The next step is probably that Dorgon will attack aggressively!

Therefore, he hastily ordered his Chinese army to bring back the soldiers of the Fubiao Battalion who had made soy sauce on the battlefield for false credit, and be by his side for protection.

Hundreds of soldiers from the Fubiao Battalion were originally just a drop in the ocean on a battlefield with tens of thousands of people, but at this time when people's hearts were floating.The mobilization of the Biao soldiers undoubtedly set a very bad example for the floating military spirit.

"Run!"

Tens of thousands of Ming soldiers let out a cry of extreme fear in their hearts, Fubiao all ran away, what are we still doing here?Can we trade our lives for the masters to escape?

Amidst the screams of countless people, the troops of the Ming army broke up like a swarm of bees that had exploded, and countless broken soldiers fled in all directions while making heart-piercing howls.

First came the first battalion, followed by the third battalion and the fifth battalion. In a blink of an eye, the left wing, the central army, the rear army, and the right wing spread like a plague.The entire front quickly collapsed.

"Bless the ancestors!"

Dodo, who was already exhausted and ready to meet the last moment, howled with a voice as dry as gravel.Order the officers under his command not to fight back at this time, not to chase and kill, when will we wait? !Since the start of the battle at Tashan, the soldiers and horses of the two white flags who have been suppressed by the Ming army can't care about the fatigue of days of hard work at this time.One by one wielding their knives and guns, they chased and climbed between the trenches and trenches as if they were stepping on a hot wheel. Regardless of the roughness of their feet, they fell and got up and continued to chase.After catching up, it will be a knife in the back of the heart.The Ming army didn't dare to turn their heads, but just kept running forward.

"Master, what shall we do?!"

A servant leader of the Wu family asked Wu Sangui for instructions with an anxious expression on his face, and the other family's army receded like the tide of the sea, leaving only the main barracks in Ningyuan Town, and Wu Sangui's servant wolf cavalry exposed to the blade of the bordered white flag.

"Marshal, shall we go up, or retreat quickly?!"

Wu Sangui's complexion was livid, and the muscles on his face were twitching non-stop while holding the spear in his hand. It could be seen that he was gnashing his teeth, and finally squeezed out two words: "A bunch of trash!"

"The servants are in the front line! The main barracks gather the defeated soldiers, and the wolf cavalry covers the artillery team and evacuates first!"

Wu Sangui's ability to control his subordinates is indeed one of the best in the Guanning Army.The general order came out of the mouth, and it was immediately put into action.Two or three thousand family members lined up in front, each armed with knives, guns and firearms, ready to meet the army and horses inlaid with the white flag.As for the main battalion under his command, after the two wings of the servants had disarmed the rout soldiers, they gathered in one place, guarded them with knives and guns, and slowly closed the team.

Collecting the rout soldiers along the way, collecting the heavy artillery, Wu Sangui looked northward at the inlaid white flags that were going back and forth chasing and killing the rout soldiers of the Ming army, and he didn't know whether it was blood or tears in his eyes.

"Just one more step forward! One step forward! A big victory is at hand!"

He couldn't help mumbling to himself.

"Commander! Don't blame yourself too much! The troops have different minds, and it is the commander's fault if they are defeated! After we go back, we will take the opportunity to rectify the troops. With the commander's great talent and general strategy, we may not have a strong army if we give it a little time. Just let it drive you?!"

On the contrary, what Wu Jingsi said was right, it touched Wu Sangui's heart.

The Qing army pursued the Ming army with the Xiangbai Banner, and even used the main force of the Zhengbai Banner to assist Baitai Mountain, trying to repel or even defeat the Guards Brigade.

Unexpectedly, what was waiting for them was Shi Lang's four sailors and land battalions lined up in a square formation, blocking Zhengbai Banner's attack route.

Quietly, there was no sound among the thousands of people, only the whistling sound when the wind blew past.This chilling aura was in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle on the battlefield.It caused a huge deterrent to Zhengbai Banner's reinforcements.

but.The huge victory in the direction of Tashan has a huge temptation, luring the Zhengbai Banner soldiers to try to step forward and defeat the Southern Barbarian army in front of them, sweeping away the depression and depression since the start of the war.

"Kill! Kill Nikan! Kill Nanman!"

A Fende Pashiku didn't know whether he was motivated by courage or collapsed by the huge pressure. He was holding a short-handled crescent ax in his right hand.Holding two huge bones in his left hand, he led a dozen or so armored soldiers to rush out of the formation, and rushed straight to the formation of the Navy and Land Battalion.

Kankan threw out the bone in his hand, before he had time to see how the killing effect was, a burst of firecrackers sounded like popping beans in his ears.A small puff of smoke rose from the ranks of the Marine Army's Army Battalion. In front of the formation, there were more than a dozen corpses lying here and there, and several wounded Liao bandit soldiers struggled to escape with their lives.

More than a dozen soldiers from the Marine Battalion rushed out of the queue at a trot.The sharp thorns in his hands quickly stabbed the Liao bandit soldiers a few times, and raised the bloody thorns in a demonstrative manner, shaking them a few times towards the Zhengbai Banner soldiers and horses dozens of steps away, signaling If they refuse to accept, just come to fight!

The performance of Navy Lu Ying made Dorgon, who came after him, amazed that he could still have such a bearing at this time, and be able to hold his breath so calmly.Don't panic or panic, the flag team is neat.Sure enough, the Southern Guangdong Army deserved its reputation.If you win a battle, you can win a tough battle, and you can also lose a battle.

"Leave a group of Jiala people to monitor the Southern Guangdong Army. If they don't attack, you must not rush in and die. The rest of the people will follow this king to reinforce Prince Yu! Today we must completely defeat the Guan Ning Army!"

A team of troops was left behind for surveillance on the battlefield.Dorgon led most of his troops back to Tashan to reinforce Duoduo and defeat the Guanning Army together.Seeing the weaving golden dragon banner going away, Shi Lang was also relieved.

The Nanyue Army and the Zhengbai Banner were facing each other from a distance, and the Guards Brigade and the Navy Army and Land Battalion alternately covered them, carrying the wounded and the body of Paoze who died in battle.Slowly back to Hongluoshan camp.Along the route of the Nanyue Army's retreat, Zhengbai Qi followed up slowly, trying to find some results of the battle, but unexpectedly, almost not even a helmet was abandoned.It was very disappointing to the Liao thieves who had always been used to making money on the battlefield.

What Duduo didn't expect was that besides the second brother's main force of Zhengbai Banner returning to the army for reinforcements, two unexpected reinforcements came.

A burst of cheers came from behind Tashanbao, and two torrents of Qing troops rushed out.The reinforcements that fell from the sky immediately boosted the confidence of the Qing army, and they just chased after the Ming army.

The Ming army, who was already in a panic, saw how many Qing soldiers rushed from the back of Tashan Fort, pouring down like a mudslide, with a huge impact, invincible, no one can stop it.

"Manchuria is facing the white flag!"

"Manchuria with a yellow flag!"

Someone looked at the banners in the Qing army formation from a distance, and was suddenly frightened.

That's right, it was the two groups of people from Zhengbai Banner Manchuria and Xianghuang Banner Manchuria who came. Although their numbers were not large, they gave the Qing army a lot of momentum at this juncture.

"Master! Master!"

Dong E'esuo was very excited to find Dorgon's dragon banner under the Tashan Castle, and brought Aobai, a reinforcement general from Manchuria with the Yellow Banner, to Dorgon to deliver the looted military supplies to Tashan according to Huang Taiji's order. before.

Oboi, whose leg injury has not yet healed, was limping and wanted to kowtow to Dorgon, but Dorgon stopped him: "Oboi, how many people did you bring?"

"Prince Hui Rui's master, the servants just came here with food, grass, medicine, wound medicine and other things. On the way, they met Dong Eshuo, Zhangjing, and heard that the master was fighting here, so the servants boldly placed the food and grass in the rear. Two thousand soldiers and horses came to help. More than half of Dong E'e Shuo Zhangjing's team are minor wounded!"

With this unexpected new force in his hand, and seeing the Ming army that had already fled to the seaside and was rushing along the coastline in the direction of Hongluoshan Camp, Dorgon suddenly had a rather bold idea in his mind.

"Oboi, you have always been called the No. [-] Batulu in Manchuria. This king wants to see the quality of your No. [-] Batulu! Take your men and horses and rush down in the direction of Baitai Mountain. Don’t mess with the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty who are not in a chaotic formation, just let the army that is already in disarray be as chaotic as possible for this king!”

"Dong E'esuo! You go too! Follow behind Oboi's team, just capture those Ming soldiers and horses for this king, and use them as coats! Pack up their supplies, armor and weapons!"

At sunset, the Tashan battlefield gradually calmed down.This battle, which caused the Qing army to lose thousands of soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and caused over [-] casualties to the coated soldiers, completely changed its direction because of Cao Zhenyan's two shells that deviated from the trajectory.

The two brothers Dorgon and Duoduo looked at more than 2 Ming army captives sitting in the open space under the Tashan Castle, piled up like a mountain of armor and weapons, and dozens of six-pound guns, eight-pound guns, Dafolang, etc. Waiting for the guns, I couldn't help feeling mixed feelings in my heart.

The camp of the Ming army, which was faintly visible in the distance, was dimly lit, and it could be seen that the Ming army also acquiesced to the defeat of this battle.

Suddenly, Doduo knelt down on the cold bricks at the top of the city and began to cry loudly.

His cry immediately aroused the sympathy of the Qing army present, and the tens of thousands of Qing troops present cried loudly in unison.

The cries like the howling of a Steppenwolf frightened the prisoners of the Ming army at a loss. The defeated ones felt timid and wronged and cried, but how could the defeated ones cry so loudly?

"You guys know nothing! This is what Prince Yu and his master are showing to the soldiers! After repeated hard battles, the soldiers suffered heavy losses, why don't you pay homage to the dead?"

Seeing that there was no hope of escaping among the defeated army, Qin Shouren, who immediately led more than a hundred servants and surrendered with more than a thousand defeated Ming army soldiers, explained to the few former Ming army officers around him with disdain.

That night, Dorgon took advantage of the victory and pursued. Taking Qin Shouren's troops as the forerunner, he pretended to be the Ming army, swindled open the gate of Songshan Castle, and came down with one blow.

In Songshan Fort, the Ming army under the guard Xia Chengde, except for the remaining troops of the Model Brigade who resisted for a while, the rest all surrendered.Datong Town, Shanxi Town, Songshan garrison troops, and most of the left-behind troops of the Model Brigade were taken in by Dorgon.

Songshan and Tashan are all in the hands of Dorgon!

In this battle, the Dorgon brothers gained a lot.Among the Ming army, apart from the fact that Wu Sangui's department was well established and there was a lot of looting due to taking advantage of the fire to accommodate the defeated army, the rest of the troops were exhausted.

Tashan, Baitaishan, Hongluoshan, and Dayushan are full of dead and wounded soldiers of the Ming army.There are lost equipment, flags, dead men and horses everywhere, and blood has dyed the coastline blood red.

Roughly checking the results of the battle, the Dorgon brothers took in as many as 4 to [-] prisoners from Songshan and Tashan and other places.In addition to these surrendered soldiers, there are also piles of artillery, equipment, armor, food, grass and gunpowder, which can be described as a fruitful harvest.
