Chapter 477: The Defeat of the Manchus in Liaodong

The cold wind was biting, and the weather in Liaodong was very cold, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground.

100,000 Manchu people, old and young women and children withdrew from their Shengjing City, and all the Manchurians had war horses, although most of them were old and weak women and children, but the Fourth Army of Yinglong Army could not catch up with them.

However, the loss of Shenyang City hit their faith hard, that is, their heavenly khan Nurhachi was taken from the hands of the Ming Dynasty, renamed Shengjing to establish the capital of the Qing Dynasty, which was the capital of their full number of people for decades, and now it was captured by the Ming army.

It was taken from the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and now it is occupied by the Ming Dynasty.

"Send troops to attack Hetuala!" With a wave of Yan Yingyuan's big hand, the Fourth Army of the Yinglong Army took more than 20,000 captives of the Manchurian, old, weak, women and children, abandoned the newly occupied Shenyang City, and turned to attack the city of Hetuala, which was 200 miles away in the northeast!

The city of Hetuara was the second largest settlement of the Manchus, and it was there that Nurhachi called Khan the Later Jin regime.

The city of Shenyang is broken, if it is breaking Hetuala, the battle of Liaodong can be declared a great victory!

"Da Da Da"

Horses walk slowly.

"Big brother, it's good to have horses to ride!" Feng Houdun rode on a rather majestic-looking horse, which he had captured from a Manchu nobleman.

The Manchurians are good at raising war horses, and a large number of war horses in Shenyang City, plus those captured by defeating Ahbai, all the 20,000 soldiers of the Yinglong Army rode on horses, all of them were full of spirit and smiles.

Even the smile on Yan Yingyuan's face did not decrease.

If you want to say that the six armies of the Yinglong Army, which army surrendered to his Fourth Army, he has ridden a warship, ridden a war horse, and fought nearly 10,000 miles in the north and south.

Due to the Manchurian elderly, weak, women and children with tens of thousands of captives, although the Fourth Army of the Ying Long Army was equipped with war horses, the marching speed was slower than when walking.

"Big brother, why do we have to take these full women and children with us, put pressure on the army in vain, and slow down the formation of the army, if we leave them in Shenyang City, the army will be in a hurry, and we will be able to kill Hetuala City in one day!" Feng Houdun couldn't figure it out, the Fourth Army was equipped with war horses, if a part of Yinglong's army was left in Shenyang City to guard these Manchurian old and weak women and children, even if the Manchus counterattacked Shenyang City, the Fourth Army would come back to support, and it would be extremely fast, but Yan Yingyuan had to take the Manchu old and weak women and children forward.

"The Manchurian, old, weak, women and children with these captives naturally have a certain reason, have you forgotten what the emperor asked our Fourth Army to send to Liaodong by sea?" Yan Yingyuan said with a smile: "The emperor is asking us to ruthlessly disrupt Liaodong and crush the will and morale of the Manchurians. ”

"We will definitely occupy the city of Hetuala, but until then, we might as well let the Manchurians fight themselves out of panic. Furthermore, if a part of the Yinglong army is assigned to guard the old and weak women and children in Shenyang City, although the Manchurian counterattack, the Fourth Army can quickly come back to support, but there is no need to do so, it is easy to be led by the Manchurians, after all, a certain amount of manpower is needed to guard these old and weak women and children, wouldn't it be better to take them through the market? The emperor just wants the whole world to know about the affairs of Liaodong, and it will be spread by the mouths of the Manchurians, which is more credible than anyone else! ”

Feng Houdun nodded clearly, the eldest brother is really the eldest brother, or the eldest brother is smart!

"Newspaper"

"The Ming army withdrew from Shenyang City and attacked Hetuala!" The Manchurian scouts reported the information they had heard to Lungu.

Lungu was shocked and had the heart to help, but he was surrounded by 100,000 people who were old and weak, and he couldn't do without protection.

Worried, Lungu's face kept changing.

In the end, Lungu made the decision to leave a part of the men and horses to escort 100,000 old and weak people to the direction of Beijing City, and he quickly rushed to Hetuara City with 3,000 soldiers and horses, not seeking to be able to fight against the Ming army, but trying not to let the Ming army hurt more people.

Due to the slow marching speed of Yan Yingyuan and the others, Lungu and other 3,000 Manchurian cavalry rushed to Hetuara City first.

"Lungu, why is Shengjing City lost!" As soon as he arrived in Hetuala, there were old nobles who pointed at Lungu and scolded.

Lungu was scolded red-faced, what did he have to do with the loss of Shengjing City, first he didn't listen to the advice, and privately sent troops to fight and defeat the Ming army outside the city, and then the Ming army attacked the city, and the old nobles in the city did not give him orders, one by one had their own ideas, how could he still hold Shengjing City under this situation.

"Old Belle Lord atonements, the Ming army is about to arrive under the city of Hetuala, the situation is urgent, not the time to investigate the loss of Shengjing City, the slave is ordered by the regent, if Liaodong cannot resist the Ming army, the preservation of the clan should be the first priority, please old Belle and all the clansmen with the minions, withdraw from Hetuala!" Lun Gu said with a smile of anger.

At present, Hetuara has less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, even if you add the 3,000 soldiers and horses he brought, it is only more than 10,000 people, and nearly 100,000 troops in Shengjing City have been broken by the Ming army, and Hetuara is even more undefendable!

"Nonsense, Hetu Ala is the Great Manchu Holy City, you dare to give it to the Ming army?" The old Baylor pointed angrily at Lungu and said.

Lun Gu gritted his teeth, the old stubborn couldn't advise, he had already received the teaching in Shengjing City, and he didn't plan to continue to teach it immediately.

"I have an order from the Regent, ordering the people of Hetuara to withdraw from Hetuara and avoid the Ming army!" Lungu took out Dolgon's order, and regardless of the old Baelor's reaction, he rode around the city to convey Dorgon's order.

As in Shengjing, Dolgon, as the regent, commanded the Eight Banners, and had a high prestige among the Manchus, and most of the Manchus were willing to obey Dolgon's orders.

"Khan, look at your son, he has given the order to give up the holy city!" Old Baylor cried out to the sky.

"Old man, no matter what Dolgon wants to do, in short, the Khan is in the spirit of heaven, and he will never tolerate the loss of the Holy City! Sons, pick up the scimitar in your hands, and I will kill Minggou without leaving a piece of armor behind! Old Baylor yelled.

"Ulla"

A part of the Manchurians, under the leadership of Old Baylor, really rushed out of Hetuara to fight the Ming army.

Lun Gu looked indifferent, these old stubborn people don't know how to focus on the overall situation, and it is better to send them to death, so as not to blame the regent in the future.

Eventually, the 70,000 Manchus of Hetuara withdrew from Hetuara along with Lungu.

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

The guns were dense and littered with corpses, and the Manchurians led by the elder Baylor were wiped out without causing any damage to the Fourth Army.

Knowing that the Manchurians abandoned the city and fled, giving up Hetuala, Yan Yingyuan smiled sarcastically.

"Now, the Broadcasting Division has to write, the Manchurians retreated without a fight, abandoned the city and fled, abandoning the holy city they are proud of!"

Yan Yingyuan believed that once this news was announced, the world would inevitably be shaken, and the morale of all Qing troops would be knocked down to the eighteenth layer of hell.

Entering Hetuara City, almost all the Manchurians evacuated, leaving only some unwilling people, who rushed to Yan Yingyuan and the others as if they were dying, but they were only greeted by dense bullets piercing their bodies.

Eventually, the city of Hetuara was occupied by the Fourth Army.

Yan Yingyuan and the Fourth Army were not stationed in Hetuala, and withdrew after entering the city less than two hours later.

"Set fire!" Immediately, the soldiers of the Fourth Army were ordered to burn Hetuara with a fire.

In those years, Nurhachi rebelled here and established Houjin, which was regarded as a holy city by the Manchus and an important spiritual sustenance for the Manchus.

Yan Yingyuan believed that Hetuara was burned, the raging fire burned for at least a day or two, and with the tens of thousands of Manchus who had fled from Hetuala, it was impossible for Dolgon to cover it up.

After successively capturing the city of Shenyang and Hetuala, the Fourth Army can be said to have achieved a major victory in Liaodong.

Of course, this was not the end, the Fourth Army, under the order of Yan Yingyuan, divided 10,000 horses to chase and kill the retreating Manchus, and never let them easily join Dolgon.
