"There are many rumors in eastern Liaodong. It is said that Governor Hong has led his troops out of the city to Songshan, and the ministers have already left Songshan to Jinzhou to respond. Suddenly, it is heard that the headquarters of Governor Hong's division is lying outside Guangning City. Hundreds of thousands of slaves violently attacked. However, the distance between Guanshan Mountain and the legends are different. I dare not be negligent, and sent detectives to investigate around, waiting for news. As soon as the details of Hongdu's troops are confirmed, I will fly to report. You must go to the pond to report!"

The last sentence of Tang Bao is a fixed format and has no specific meaning.

Wu Sangui was in Songshan Fort. Two days after the outbreak of the Guangning War, stragglers from various towns began to flee to Songshan Fort one after another.In addition to being terrified, Wu Sangui had to arrange for these people to go down for a meal and rest, and then learn about the Guangning war from the officers.

Most of these officers and soldiers who have not eaten for a day or two, because they belong to different organizational systems and are in different positions on the battlefield, naturally they are talking about it.Some said that Hong Dushi was defeated and killed, and some said that he was captured.It is also said that after repelling several attacks by the slave chieftain Hongtai outside the city, he led his troops back to Guangning to hold on.

He ordered people to send the Tang newspaper to Tianjin by fast boat, and at the same time wrote a secret letter detailing all the gossip and the movements of the Liao thieves from Songshan Fort, and then dispatched capable people to Tianjin to meet Ning Yuan. Bo Li Shouhan.Next, in just three to five days, Wu Sangui took in thousands of stragglers from various towns and battalions who escaped from Guangning.

Traveling for hundreds of miles, sleeping day and night, dodging the Jiannu soldiers and horses who searched and suppressed the Ming army along the way, how could they be able to explain clearly in a few words?Looking at this group of unkempt, dirty-faced and ugly-looking guys, Wu Sangui was already prepared.But also surprised?

Hong Dushi has nearly 10 horses, is this the end?

"Marshal, Governor Hong is finished, what should we do?" On the way back to the commander's mansion from outside Songshan City, his servant leader, Wu Qinsi, has now been promoted to the rank of general.Quietly lifted the reins of the horse, leaned to his side and asked in a low voice.

The relationship is very important, but Wu Sangui is not easy to jump to a conclusion. After contemplating for a while, he slowly said: "Those defeated soldiers and horses, how many are taken in now?"

"As of yesterday, there were already more than 4000 people!"

For this number, Wu Sangui snorted, expressing his satisfaction.Those who were able to escape from the Quang Ninh siege.In his opinion, the stragglers who crossed the Jinzhou iron net in Dorgon and fled to Songshan were the best choices in terms of physical strength, personal skills, and luck that is invisible and intangible.He had already made up his mind that these people must be named Wu from now on!

"In the past few days, you just hurry up to take in those stragglers and send our brothers out. Bring more dry food and go to Jinzhou and other places to meet them on the road."

"Yes! The last general obeys the order!"

"Qinsi. Jingsi, you guys have done a good job! When I return to Ningyuan, I will write to the Ministry of War and promote you to be deputy generals! Take charge of a battalion of troops!"

However, the premise is that enough soldiers and horses can be accommodated.This point, Wu Jingsi, Wu Qinsi and other generals are very clear.

for a while.The Wu family's Ding Brigade was divided into dozens of small teams, carrying medicines and dry food, haunting the huge area from Songshan to the outskirts of Jinzhou, searching for the remnants and defeated generals hiding in the forest and long grass.In two days, more than 1000 people were taken in.

but.Prince Yu in Jinzhou City was not too happy either.

At the moment, the small-scale battles between the two armies continued, and seeing that the momentum was not good, Wu Sangui gave an order, "Withdraw!"

The Ningyuan Army, which had already transported heavy equipment and valuable materials to Ningyuan in batches, naturally would not be in Songshan. The Songshan Fort was set on fire, and the brigade retreated to Ningyuan.

Looking at the Songshan Fort, where the smoke was rising and the flames were rising into the sky, Wu Sangui couldn't help feeling mixed feelings.

This way, the battle of Liaodong is over.Regardless of whether Governor Hong is dead or alive, the Liaodong War has come to an end.

How should the court end?How did Governor Hong lose the battle?Right now, with the Ningyuan Army as the main body, the Guan Ning Army or the Liaoxi Jiangmen Group should deal with themselves and where they should go. These thoughts are circling in Wu Sangui's mind like a revolving lantern.

"Don't care about him!" Wu Sangui waved his hand in front of him, as if tossing a fly, trying to drive away the complicated thoughts in his mind.

"Anyway, the sky is falling, and there's a tall man there to support it!" He made up his mind in the cabin, and after returning to Ningyuan, he immediately sent capable people to Tianjin to meet his cheap grandfather.Show loyalty and ask for help!

Hong Chengchou's 10 horses are finished, and the court has very few bargaining chips left.In the future, I'm afraid that I will rely more on the grandfather of a certain family, right?Not without malice, Wu Sangui speculated in his mind how the imperial court would react after seeing his Tang newspaper.

Sure enough, when it was learned that Hong Chengchou had left Guangning City rashly and plunged into the ambush circle set up by Huang Taiji, the last elite of the imperial court was exhausted, and there was no longer anything that could be used to check and balance the Southern Cantonese Army and suppress various areas in the Central Plains. After the power of the army head, the whole court became a mess.

A lot of people intentionally or unintentionally regarded these few townsmen under Governor Hong as a sharp sword and a sledgehammer to deter the domineering army leaders in the interior.Although the general soldiers of these towns may not be fuel-efficient lamps, the meaning revealed between the lines in the daily exchange of official documents is the same as that revealed in the daily conversation.

More importantly, Hong Chengchou himself was a sharp weapon for the court chiefs to check and balance Li Shouhan.Now, the white jade pillar of the Ming Dynasty collapsed suddenly, what should I do?The power structure between the DPRK and China, which was obviously out of balance, is bound to pour over to Li Shouhan.

Ever since, when Wu Sangui and Wu Zongbing were still cleaning up the remnants of the towns in Songshanbao, one after another made him understand the battle situation in Guangning, and the official documents of Hong Chengchou, Liu Zhaoji, Ma Ke, Cao Bianjiao and others flew into Ningyuan Zongzi like sparks. Bingfu.

After returning to his lair, Wu Sangui felt much more relieved. While ordering people to reorganize those scattered soldiers into an army, so as to comfort him, he sought out officers from various towns to learn more about the battle that day.It is also good to have an explanation to the court.

On that day, Governor Hong had just organized Cao Bianjiao and Ma Ke to complete the formation arrangement hastily with his own supervising Chinese army, and began to order people to arrange the retreat in the supply camp.Follow his retreat plan.The battalions under Ma and Cao should first remove unnecessary personnel, horses, food and ammunition that have nothing to do with combat in the battalion, as well as soldiers, horses, artillery, and important equipment that are not necessary for defensive counterattack operations. .Withdraw these bulky things to Guangning City, and after the army is lightly armed, they will have no distractions, so they can fight with the Liao thieves.After repelling the Liao thieves for the time being.Then retreat the elite troops under Ma and Cao.

At this time, the defeated troops of Liu Zhaoji, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town, rushed to Cao Bianjiao's formation.

Behind them, Turge, Oboi and others led the cavalry of the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner and the Yellow Banner, and many Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers and horses followed not far or near.Looking from a distance, it looks like a group of hungry wolves driving a flock of sheep.Any sheep that intends to run away, or resist instead, will be slaughtered frantically and ferociously by these hungry wolves.After being taught a few lessons by the Liao thieves' iron cavalry, the barely maintained formation in Liaodong Town disappeared.After running for several miles all the way, it became even more scattered.Liu Zhaoji ordered people to roll up his handsome flag, and under the guard of his servants, he urged his horse to gallop forward.

Behind him, countless broken limbs, broken bones and bloody bodies were left along the way. With rolling iron hooves, countless menacing Liaodong rebel cavalry repeatedly charged and captured the chaotic stragglers.

This situation is like a nightmare.Liu Zhaoji and his subordinates did not dare to look back.Behind the soldiers and horses, the Qing soldiers who were hunted down by the same robe stabbed the horses with Eight Banners spears and tiger spears.Or swung a long knife and sharp ax on the horse and fell towards the running crowd. The spear pierced the armor, the sound of the sharp ax beheading the head, and the dying howls of the soldiers were intertwined. In one place, a battlefield symphony was formed.

"Marshal. Shall we meet Mr. Liu?"

A guerrilla panicked looking at the soldiers and horses from Liaodong Town not far away who were dragging their armor and fleeing in defeat, and asked Ma Ke eagerly.

"What are you panicking! Gunner archers are ready!"

A bloodthirsty grin appeared on Marco's face.

According to the military laws of the Ming Dynasty, if a defeated soldier dares to attack the formation head-on, it will be a death penalty.

Ma Ke has long been aware of the plans of the Liao thieves. "This group of Tartars just want to drive Liu Zhaoji to attack Lao Tzu's army formation. When Lao Tzu's army formation is also destroyed, they can clean up the battlefield safely! I am not that stupid!"

"Boys, if you don't want to die, let me stop the defeated soldiers on the opposite side!"

Before Ma Ke could finish his sentence, he saw that Liu Zhaoji's striker had rushed within the shooting range of the big Buddha Langji, but he didn't hesitate, "Boom for me!"

The sound of the cannon suddenly exploded in people's ears like spring thunder, and puffs of white smoke rose.Amidst the screams, all the family members and soldiers beside Liu Zhaoji, the Liaodong general soldier, were shot and fell off their horses.Even the flag bearer next to Liu Zhaoji was hit by a flying projectile on his helmet, and even the helmet was thrown far away with half of the sky cap, and a red and white liquid sprayed Liu Zhaoji all over.The flag officer didn't even have time to snort before he fell off his horse with his head thrown all over the place.I don't know where to throw the two-foot-long commander-in-chief flag on his shoulders.

Even the healthy horse under Liu Zhaoji's crotch was caught by a fallen horse's leg from the slanting stab, and with a terrible hiss, he fell to the ground, throwing Liu Zhaoji to the ground in disgrace.

"Protect the Commander! Protect the Commander!" Luckily, several guards were alert and pulled Liu Zhaoji up from the ground, so that the Commander Liu would not be trampled into a pulp by his own horses.

"Go around! Go around!"

Hundreds of lives were killed by Ma Ke's shells, Liu Zhaoji remembered the charge of assaulting the army formation, and hurriedly led the defeated soldiers past the edge of Ma Ke's army formation, and went to Hong Dushi to cry.

"Ding Wei, what did you do?!"

Looking at Liu Zhaoji, who had a sad face, crooked armor, dust and blood on his clothes and face, and the twenty or so defeated soldiers standing behind him, Hong Chengchou couldn't help feeling angry!

Before Liu Zhaoji could open his mouth to defend himself, whistles and shouts sounded next to his ears, another pursuit of the Liao bandits began.

For the Liaodong rebels, pursuit is the most comfortable form of combat.

In the pursuit battle, the enemy flees without any organizational system and will to fight. They rarely turn around and fight you desperately.Of course, that's as long as you're not cornering them.Therefore, the pursuit battle is simple and difficult, and the key is to grasp a certain speed. In this regard, the Liao thieves have extremely rich experience. They have used their years of hunting experience in the mountains and forests on the battlefield.It can be said that it has been tried and tested.

From time to time, the Liao thieves would divide into small groups, ride their horses to the back of the rout soldiers, stab a spear, cut a knife, or shoot an arrow at the leading general in the group, which would make them They screamed and continued to flee with all their strength.

Even by chance, a small group of people charged too fast and rushed into the defeated team.They also rarely stop to fight for their lives, because as soon as you stop, the friendly army will take the opportunity to run away.To flee for one's life, one does not need to run faster than the enemy, as long as one runs faster than the friendly army. This is the truth that every soldier in the Ming and Qing Dynasties knows.

And an army that is prone to defeat is obviously the ideological consciousness of the sergeants.It is impossible to sacrifice one's own life and let others escape.

this time.Obai gathered thousands of defeated soldiers, drove them from all directions, and rushed towards Ma Ke's formation.

Behind the large group of wolves driving the lambs to be slaughtered was the artillery team led by Kong Youde, with nearly a hundred heavy cannons weighing more than [-] pounds, with their black muzzles open.Pointing to the Ming army not far away.

Hong Chengchou was about to order Liu Zhaoji to go down to rectify the defeated troops and restore the organizational system so as to fight again, when he suddenly heard the sound of gunfire from the east, and the sound of shouting and killing came.The governor is not good.He hurriedly took the binoculars handed over by his personal guard, and looked in the direction of Marko's formation, intending to observe the situation.

Unexpectedly, just as he was put on the horse by several personal soldiers, he saw the broken soldiers of the brigade rushing to the front of Marko's formation.Behind them, from a distance, there are roaring Liao thieves all over the mountains and plains. They all wear black helmets and red tassels, with high helmet pillars, and wear double-breasted cotton armor covered with foam nails. The only difference is the color of the armor. , or blue, or yellow, or yellow with red edges.

It was the soldiers of Manchuria with Two Yellow Banners and Manchuria with Zhenglan Banner led by Oboi, Turge and others!

There are some Tartar soldiers with lighter armor, which seem to only have foam nails, but no iron leaves inlaid inside. Most of them only have short and soft riding bows, not huge infantry bows.

Among the cavalry in the brigade, there were also quite a few holding Sulu ingots in their hands, with wolf skins hanging on them. It was a weapon similar to boring palladium.These people are wearing yellow armor, red armor, or only fur robes and fox hats. They are soldiers and horses of Eight Banners Mongolia and Outer Fan Mongolia.

These Mongolian Eight Banners and Outer Fan Mongolian soldiers, although their armor and weapons are not the same as those of the Manchurian Eight Banners, they are the same as the Manchurian soldiers in that they are as rude and barbaric, and their eyes are full of desire for military exploits.

When they rushed to the front, Ma Ke's guns lost their effect, and the infantry bows of these Liaodong rebels began to exert their power.

The sound of bowstrings made of raw cowhide continued, and after the sound of arrows piercing through the air, there were bursts of muffled groans and screams.

The step bows used by these Liao thieves are larger and thicker than those used by the Ming army. The arrows they shoot are powerful and heavy, and they are more accurate.Like the horse bow, the arrows of their step bows are also made of more than one or two pieces of wrought iron, with blood grooves, three-edged shape, and longer arrow bodies and larger arrows.If you are hit by an arrow, you will bleed to death quickly, or lose your combat effectiveness.

Amidst the muffled sound, the soldiers in Ma Keshanhai Town were shot by arrows one after another, and they were shot in many vital parts such as eyes, throats, faces, etc. Even if they were lucky, they were shot in the arms or thighs by the arrows. Deep, the blood flowed continuously, and those people also collapsed one after another.

The three-edged arrow, the wound caused to the body is not only deep, but also difficult to suture and stop the bleeding. If the rescue is not timely, it will be the result of excessive blood loss and loss of life.

The soldiers of the Ming army naturally knew how powerful they were. They saw the arrows of the Liao thieves coming like raindrops and densely packed like locusts.Round after round, fast and ruthless, the person hit by the arrow kept screaming, blood flowed all over the ground, and everyone around him turned pale.

Seeing that the situation is not good, many people are ready to retreat, but under this dangerous city, where to retreat?If you don't stick to your position, everyone will end up dead without a place to bury their corpses!

"Don't retreat! Don't retreat! Let me rush up! Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!"

Marko led his soldiers and servants, desperately brandishing the sharp blade in his hand, and roared to stop the sergeants from retreating.

But in the face of the ferocious Tartar soldiers in front, the deadly arrows coming like rain, and the shells falling from the top of the head from time to time, those swarming Liaodong town's defeated soldiers and horses, how could he care about his Mako's military order?

We are the army horses of Liaodong Town, and we only listen to Master Liu Zhaoji. You, Ma Ke, are only the general soldier of Shanhaiguan, so what right do you have to tell us what to do?

"Assault on the commander's army, kill me!"

Seeing that the defeated soldiers in Liaodong Town are about to become the vanguard of the Liao thieves, Ma Ke's eyes almost bleed. He is going to die anyway today. It is better for you to die than to die together!

He gave an order, and all the soldiers and horses in Shanhai Town waved their knives and guns at the defeated soldiers in Liaodong Town, trying to drive them out of his front!

"The dog thieves in Shanhai Town killed our brothers in Liaodong Town! Brothers, kill them!"

The front of the position, which was already in chaos, suddenly burst into a mournful cry, followed by the sound of knives and guns colliding, and the sound of killing and screaming intertwined.

For a moment, the two sides scuffled and crowded together, creating chaos.

Don't look at the cowardice and cowardice when fighting the Liao thieves, but when they fight among themselves, they are merciless.Originally, they were all from the Guan Ning army, who didn't know who?Who is afraid of whom? (To be continued..)
