Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 510 Soldiers Arriving at Liaodong Jinzhou Guard

This Gaodi is not the civil servant Gaodi who died in the 12th year of Chongzhen, but the commander of the Liaodong capital of the Ming Dynasty who was once the general of the ancestor Dashou.

Now he has become the most powerful general of the Han army in the Qing Dynasty outside the pass, and his subordinate Ding Jingqi has as many as [-], and the other Eight Banners soldiers of the Han army he leads are not weak soldiers, they are all brave.

Because of this, Gaodi was very arrogant, thinking that he didn't need to pretend to be defeated in front of the Ming army according to the military order of the general manager of Shengjing in the Qing Dynasty. He felt that his [-] Han army and eight banner cavalry were enough to wipe out the Ming army attacking Liaodong .

But when Gaodi arrived at Jinzhouwei and saw a large number of guards appearing near Jinzhouwei, with a total of no less than [-] troops, he began to feel astonished, and he was a little frightened. He had already forgotten that he wanted to rely on [-] soldiers. The iron cavalry annihilated the fantasy of landing the Ming army, and began to guard the Jinzhou Weicheng, not daring to go out of the city to face the Second Guards Army.

The Second Army of the Guards had also arrived at Jinzhouwei at this time.

Although the logistics supply system of the Ming Dynasty is already very developed, the second army of the Guards is fighting in the enemy's hinterland, so the logistics supply system is not rooted, and Liaodong belongs to the northeast. The demand for heating and food was even greater, so the Second Guards Army had to suspend its attack on the Jinzhou Guard, and met its logistical needs by retaliating against the surrounding barbarians.

"Snapped!"

The officers and soldiers of the guards kept dragging these Hu people out and shot them to death, and then forcibly confiscated all the food and coal firewood of these Hu people. The logistical gap brought about by outside operations.

At this time, a barbarian in a village near Jinzhouwei was shot dead by the guards, his face was covered with blood, and the important supplies of the barbarian's house were naturally requisitioned by the guards, and his house was It was directly sent to the Han people who were confiscated as serfs.

The Second Army of the Guards retaliated against these barbarians just like the Manchurian iron cavalry plundered and killed the Han people in Liaodi at the beginning of the war a few years ago.

It's not just the Hu people, some Han landlords with more family backgrounds will also be retaliated by the Second Guards Army.

Gao Di, the guard of the Jinzhou Guard, was quite annoyed by this. He is a local military general in Liaodong, especially many big families in the Jinzhou Guard area are his relatives. The Manchu aristocrats and Han officials and gentry near Jinzhouwei actually retaliated, and they also ordered their brave general Liu Wu to bring his [-] elite cavalry to the central camp of the Second Guards Army.

"Let these hateful Ming dogs taste the power of my Qing cavalry! Brothers, kill!"

Liu Wu brought Gaodi's servants and killed them. Although Gaodi was huddled in the Jinzhou Guard these days, he did nothing. The number of landings of the Ming army was conveyed to Ye Keshu, the general manager of Shengjing, and at the same time he sent scouts to inquire about the position of the middle army of the guards.

Therefore, Liaodong at that time was not as good as Liaodong in later generations. Many trees and plants were still lush and there were many natural forests, and the officers and soldiers of the Qing army in Gaodi were all locals. Naturally, they were more aware of the geographical environment here than the guards were. Familiar, so it is not impossible to inquire about the Second Guards Army. Although the Guards are also very well-prepared, they are sometimes negligent.

Because of this, the location of the Central Army of the Second Guards Army was discovered by Gaudi, so he also sent Liu Wu to bring his most elite servants to attack the Chinese Army Camp of the Second Guards Army in order to Defeating the main battalion of the Second Guards Army in one fell swoop made the [-] Ming troops of the Second Guards Army leaderless, and then he led [-] cavalry to appear, which was naturally enough to defeat the Second Guards Army.

"As long as we defeat the camp of the Chinese army, we can defeat the Ming army once and for all." Gaodi smiled coldly. Now he can't wait to come and see how Liu Wu got rid of the commander of the Second Guards Army. .

Liu Wu led his elite servants and charged towards the camp of the Second Army of the Guards Army. When he saw the fence in front of him, he jumped on his horse and rushed over. When he saw the thin wire hanging in the air, he smiled contemptuously. He smiled: "You want to stop me too?"

Liu Wu immediately hung upside down on the galloping ground, thus easily dodging the thin wire, and the other Ding cavalrymen of the Qing army also dodged. The camp of the Second Army of the Guards is close at hand.

But at this time, when Liu Wu rushed into the main camp of the Second Guards Army with two thousand elite servants, although he was very fast, he rushed into the forest one mile in front of the main camp of the Second Guards Army. suffered an explosion.

These Qing cavalry did not know that there would be landmines with special symbols buried near the military headquarters of the Ming Guards, so they were completely unprepared. Suddenly, the landmines in the snow exploded, and the horses of the Qing cavalry were directly blown away. He got up and smashed a huge pothole in the snow.

"what!"

There was a shrill scream.

The officers and soldiers of the Central Army Camp of the Guards also took advantage of this and immediately organized a counterattack. Intensive artillery fire bombarded the places where the Qing cavalry were bombed by landmines. It turned into scorched earth, and the smell of gunpowder left behind by the explosion of nitration explosives has not dissipated for a long time, and the wreckage of these Qing army cavalry were not buried until the next heavy snowfall.

Liu Wu had also been blown into pieces at this time, but his wide eyes still expressed his astonishment before he died.

"Crack! Come on!"

Another heavy snow fell, and even the official road leading to Jinzhou Acropolis was covered with snow. Fortunately, the Second Guards Army had raised enough food and grass, so on December [-]th, nearly The First Corps of the Second Army of the Guards began to formally attack Jinzhou Acropolis.

In order to face the difficulty of marching in the snow, especially the transportation of cannons and food and other supplies, it is not enough to rely solely on animal power, so the Second Guards Army did not execute some Hu people first, but let them serve as coolies for the Ming Guards. The Second Army is responsible for driving the artillery carts and grain carts. If there are Hu people who are lazy, they will be beaten to death directly. If they want to resist, they will be executed directly.

At this time, a guard artilleryman was urging a barbarian in the same way, just like the Manchurian iron cavalry enslaved the Han people a few years ago.

Not only that, the Second Army of the Guards also took a group of Manchu Bannermen as hostages, making them walk at the forefront of the army, so as to achieve the goal of making the defenders of the Jinzhou Guards use their weapons.

On the afternoon of December [-]th, the Second Guards Army had all arrived at the Jinzhou Acropolis. Gao Di originally wanted to organize the defenders in the city to use rolling logs, hot water, and even feces to prevent the Second Guards Army from attacking the city. , but the guards put a large number of captured Hu people at the forefront, and many of them were authentic bannermen. No matter how brave Gao Di was, he would not dare to throw the log dung on his master.

　Let me explain why the people in the north ran away after the guards appeared in Shanxi mentioned earlier by Qidian book friends. The people in the north ran away not because they didn't know the Ming army, but because the officers and soldiers in their impression were either the Ming army or the Ming army. The Qing army were all bandits who robbed the people, so they would run away subconsciously. You must know that the discipline of the Ming Dynasty's own army was also very bad.The addition is complete.
