Chapter 812 The Battle of Shanhaiguan

Chapter 812 Shanhaiguan Battle (Part [-])
After receiving Zhu Yousong's order, the governor of Shandong immediately summoned the three yamen in the province, mainly the capital in charge of the military and the chief secretary in charge of water transportation.

The governor personally supervised the handling, and the three divisions cooperated with each other, and immediately mobilized more than 1 troops, and a batch of ships were dispatched from the transport department. Dozens of ships brought more than 1 troops, flying the flag of Ming Dynasty, Set sail, set off from Weihai Port, and drive to the direction of North Korea Island.

Gaizhou in the Ming and Qing Dynasties is now the area around Dalian City, very close to Weihai, Shandong.Therefore, the Qing army stationed in Gaizhou immediately discovered the Ming army's fleet. The news of the Ming army's increase in troops to North Korea soon spread to Shengjing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty. Got the message.

North Korea was originally a vassal state of Ming Dynasty. A few years ago, the ambitious Huang Taiji took North Korea from Ming Dynasty abruptly and became a vassal state of Qing Dynasty.At that time, because of this incident, Qing Dynasty launched a fierce battle with North Korea and Ming Dynasty. In the end, the fierce battle ended with the victory of Qing Dynasty. Since then, North Korea has bowed its head to Qing Dynasty.

But the Tartars also knew about this, the Koreans did not admire them, and the Ming Dynasty was not happy about it.They only have high-handed rule over North Korea, but the more high-handed the policy, the more it can arouse resistance.

Not long ago, the Tartar spies had gotten some rumors that North Korea was secretly sending envoys to Ming Dynasty.Dorgon was furious and warned the Li Dynasty, but North Korea refused to recognize it.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has openly sent a fleet to increase troops to North Korea, it is obvious that the two of them are joining forces to make troubles, and Dorgon is not calm anymore.

Gush Khan, the leader of Moxi Mongolia, is also unwilling to be lonely. He is another eagle rising on the grassland after Lin Dan Khan.He also dreamed of being able to rule the world like his ancestors Temujin and Kublai Khan.However, now, geographically, Mongolia is divided into three major parts, Moxi Monan and Mobei.

Huang Taiji and Dorgon defeated the two tribes of Mobei and Monan, and used the method of peace to firmly control these two tribes in the hands of the Qing Dynasty. Now he is the only one left in the western part of the country, and the Qing Dynasty still has to conquer They, the daimyos in the south, are also their old enemies.There are also barbarians with blue eyes and big noses in the west, who are encroaching on their only small territory.

Facing the eyes of a group of enemies, Gushi Khan didn't lose his fighting spirit at all. There was not a day when he didn't want to rise up again like Zuna.He must first survive in such a crack, and then he can further strengthen his own strength and realize the grand blueprint in his chest.

He decided to deal with the big nose in the Ural region first, relying on the power of Moxi Mongolia alone would not work, so he decided to unite with both Ming and Qing.After the big nose is driven away and the southwestern border is stabilized, as for whether it is to fall to the Ming Dynasty, to the Qing Dynasty, or to develop independently, then we have to take a step at a time.

Gushi Khan must have studied the Three Kingdoms a lot, and now he is going to play a role in it. Now he is in communication with the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, but he must not compromise and give in half a step to the barbaric Tsarist Russia.

Now that the Ming army sent an army, Gushi Khan carried out his plan enthusiastically, and went south to the Potala Palace in person to meet Li Dingguo.

After praising Li Dingguo and Zhu Yousong, he made up for the military supplies of the 3 horses.Li Dingguo came to Tianshan with a large group of people.

But Li Dingguo's visit this time was not simply to serve as a spearman for Gushi Khan. His Majesty Zhu Yousong had already given him the opportunity, so while driving to the northwest border of Moxi Mongolia, he sent horses from far and near to inquire about the Qing Dynasty. Communications with Gushri Khan.

As soon as Li Dingguo's men arrived at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, Li Dingguo received a report that the Qing Dynasty had sent an army, led by Prince Zheng Jierhalang of the Tartars, to Erdeni, with a strength of about 5.

Li Dingguo immediately led the team to the north, and a few days later, the two sides encountered each other in the mountains outside Erdeni.

Li Dingguo knew that the enemy was strong and we were weak, so he adopted tactics to lure the enemy by deceiving defeat. The brave Jierhalang was eager to make contributions. He was ordered by Dorgon to destroy this Ming army, so he led his troops in hot pursuit. , This happened to be fooled, fell into an ambush by Li Dingguo, and got into the pocket array first set up by the Ming army.

Li Dingguo, who had been feigning defeat before, stopped running, and turned around with his men and horses to fight back.This fierce battle lasted for more than ten hours. As a result, Li Dingguo slashed Jierhalang with a knife, and the entire 5 Qing army was wiped out.

Then Li Dingguo led the team to move eastward according to Zhu Yousong's latest will.

The line of sight then turned back to Shanhaiguan.After spending such a lot of fighting and fighting, Dorgon was too unwilling to take down every inch of Daming's land and bricks.

After the shelling, the Green Battalion soldiers of the Qing army attacked like a tide under the order of Dorgon.But they didn't expect that just halfway through the attack, the Ming army on the Guancheng reappeared and began to fight back.

One round of shells roared and exploded in the oncoming Qing army. The Qing army rushing through the moat was knocked down by bows and arrows like raindrops. The Qing soldiers who started to climb the city wall were beaten The stones and rolling logs sloping down from above were smashed into pieces.

Dorgon's first charge was ferocious, but it didn't last long. After leaving a place of dead bodies, the Qing army retreated like the ebb of the sea.

After Dorgon withdrew the people, he started shelling again.Then the Ming army at the head of the city remained silent, and they began to charge again, but halfway through the charge, the Ming army defending the city began to counterattack again.This was repeated three times, but the Tartars failed to attack the city, causing heavy casualties and casualties everywhere.

Hong Chengchou suggested that Dorgon avoid Shanhaiguan and go around to a stone or Xifeng pass, and find a pass with weak defenses to attack.

Dorgon agreed. When he and Huang Taiji harassed the border of Ming Dynasty, they had to make a detour if they couldn't get to Shanhaiguan City. Now that they have such powerful cannons, they still can't get through this dangerous pass.

Dorgon had no choice but to cruise westward with his soldiers. When they reached a rock about 30 miles away, they launched a fierce attack again.Huang Ming, the commander-in-chief of Huang Degong, was stationed at a piece of stone. He commanded his subordinates to resist tenaciously.

Dorgon couldn't attack for a long time, so he had to withdraw his soldiers temporarily.But Dorgon took a fancy to a piece of stone and vowed to tear a gap from it, so he ordered the suspension of the attack and asked Hong Chengchou to lead a partial division to go west for more than 200 miles to attack Xifengkou. A group of troops feigned an attack at Shanhaiguan, making it impossible for them to respond to each other at these passes. A few days later, Dorgon personally commanded the main force and stormed a piece of Shiguan city again.

At this time, Xifengkou in the west and Shanhaiguan in the east were also attacked by a large number of Qing troops at the same time.Sure enough, the generals of Shanhaiguan, the generals of Pianshi and the generals of Xifengkou could not support each other.

But at this time, another news came. The army they sent to Moxi Mongolia was completely annihilated, and Prince Zheng Jierhalang was defeated by the Ming general Li Dingguo.Now Li Dingguo and his troops have driven to the vicinity of the Wendur River.

This news really made matters worse, with more troops to North Korea and Mobei from Moxi, it was obvious that Zhu Yousong wanted to set their backyard on fire, and then the Ming army would open the gates and march northward.

Dorgon really panicked, looked at a piece of rock that was about to be captured, gritted his teeth, and said in a heartbroken way: "Pass on the king's order, stop the siege and withdraw the troops!"
