Chapter 347: Accelerating Approaching
Zhang Chun is responsible, Inspector Sun does not come to command, Governor Qiu does not show up, he does not wait or rely on the steady and steady approach to the Daling River, and now he has reached Songshan, and will cross the Xiaoling River to the east in a few days.
At this time, the Ming army was completely different from the situation in history, there was no repeated loss of troops due to the failure of refueling tactics, there were 10,000 more men and horses, and the soldiers were steadily and steadily fighting step by step, and the soldiers had enough time to eat and rest, and their mental state was good.
During Zhang Chun's march into the army, he received a newspaper from the imperial palace sent by 600 li urgently, and learned that the deployment of the Ming army in southern Liaoning had achieved an unprecedented victory, captured Fuzhou and besieged Jinzhou, and in order to boost morale, he organized the generals to study the contents of the newspaper and convey it to the whole army.
Now all the soldiers who went to Liaodong know that in mid-August, the "Red Banner Army" successfully attacked and won the "Great Victory in Fuzhou," captured more than 3,000 real slaves, seized countless amounts of money, food, and materials, and rescued 450,000 Han people.
Most of Zhang Chun's men and horses came from Gyeonggi, and the common people of Zhangjiawan, Luanzhou, and Qian'an joined the army for revenge A high proportion of them, and most of them had relatives killed in the Jisi Revolution or were captured by the Houjin army and were not heard from.
Now that I heard that the "Red Flag Army" had won the battle and recaptured tens of thousands of Han people, there was hope in the hearts of everyone, and they sincerely hoped that their relatives would meet good luck, and they happened to be taken captive to Fuzhou.
The most talked about in the Ming army camp in the past few days is not whether their relatives have been rescued, but whether the "Red Flag Army" and Dongjiang Town have the strength to take over the Jinzhou Guard, which is held by more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians of Jiannu.
Zhang Chun and the generals had completely different ideas from the soldiers, and they felt the pressure, because only one-tenth of their strength was a partial division of the "Red Banner Army", and thousands of Jiannu were captured.
And the main force with more than 50,000 Ming elites climbed in the direction of Dalinghe City like a snail, and so far there has been no first-class victory, and dozens of cavalry were killed by Jiannu during the scout battle, and horses and armor were robbed.
Zhang Chun judged that Jiannu should be fluctuating at this time, and he led more than 50,000 men and horses to approach and may not be able to win the battle, so he convened the chief military officers Wu Xiang and Song Wei, the staff generals Zhang Hongmo and Yang Huazheng, and the guerrilla generals Xue Dahu and Jiang Xin to discuss the matter.
Seeing that the generals were coming, one by one in good spirits, Zhang Chun was very satisfied and went straight to the point:
"Generals, the 'Red Banner Army' and Dongjiang Town are fighting well in southern Liaoning! Not only will it contain a part of Jiannu, but it will also boost the morale of our army, and this officer thinks that when the military heart is available, it can completely fight with Jiannu. ”
Wu Xiang said with a smile: "The morale of the soldiers was boosted when they learned the news of the 'Fuzhou Victory', and many soldiers were discussing whether they could go to southern Liaoning to join forces with the 'Red Flag Army' and Dongjiang Town, and they wanted to see if there were any of their lost relatives among the rescued Han people." ”
Zhang Chun said: "It is very unrealistic to go to southern Liaoning, but it should be possible to break the encirclement of Jiannu outside Dalinghe City and enter Dalinghe City." ”
Song Wei said: "This official also thinks that it shouldn't be very difficult, how many people are there in Jiannu?" How many people do you need to besiege Dalinghe City on all sides? We attacked one point, Zu Shaochuan and He Taibao led the Guanning army in Dalinghe City to respond, and it is very likely that Jiannu was defeated and collapsed under the attack from both sides. ”
Zhang Hongmo, Yang Huazheng, Xue Dahu and other generals also thought so, and agreed with Song Wei's point of view, believing that the battle of Daling River was promising.
Wu Xiang knew the ability of his brother-in-law Zu Dashou to lead the troops, and greatly exaggerated the combat effectiveness of the ancestral family's ironclad family.
Zhang Chun was even happier when he saw that all the generals had a fighting spirit, and immediately announced that he would appropriately speed up the march and strive to enter Dalinghe City before the frost period came, so as not to encamp in the field and endure the bitter cold wind.
The unusually accelerated approach of the Ming army strengthened the confidence of the Nu chief to kill the main force of the Ming army on the battlefield of the Daling River, and the men and horses deployed here could not be easily mobilized.
He sent messengers to gallop to Shenyang, and ordered the Great Belle Daishan, who stayed in Shengjing, to organize a movement of men and horses to Haotuala, and if the Ming cavalry dared to raid the land of Longxing in the Dajin Kingdom, they would gather those forgetful Ming cavalry and annihilate them there.
Dai Shan is not an ordinary person, he has received too many urgent documents and has been mobilizing people for a long time, he is not preparing to go south to give the Ming army a head-on attack, he is worried that the Ming army will make an amazing move to raid Shengjing.
Even if the cavalry of the Ming army did not attack any towns, as long as they came to the outskirts of Shengjing to take a turn, the political influence should not be underestimated.
What will the Mongols and Han people think at that time, they will definitely think that the Dajin Kingdom is no longer good, and has begun to be beaten by the Ming army, and the Han Aha who far exceeds the number of Jurchens may be even more difficult to control in the future.
After receiving the order of the eighth brother, Dai Shan immediately personally led the assembled 5,000 men and horses to Haotuala.
It was already the seventh day of the ninth month, and Huang Han had been going north for more than half a month, and was advancing in the direction of Haotuala at this time.
Coercion Shenyang can't do it for the time being, because the risk is too great, and if you reach the Liaoshen Plain, you may not be able to get out if you are entangled by Tartars.
Therefore, Huang Han still chose to sabotage in the mountains, preparing to approach Hao Tuala, and then make a plan after burning with a single shot.
When about 1,000 men and horses attacked more than a hundred miles away from Hao Tuala, the cautious Huang Han ordered to stop.
He sent a large number of sentry horses and scouts to occupy the commanding heights to monitor the north, and divided the men and horses into three raiding gangs led by Li Ruolian, Hanzi and himself to search nearby.
Not long after, more than a dozen villages were discovered and destroyed, and after the Ming army completed the looting, they took advantage of the dry weather in the crisp autumn season and set a fire to the wind.
The raging fire spread in an instant, and it was possible to engulf the nearby mountains and forests and villages for more than ten miles, which had a very good effect, and was completely able to block the enemy army from the north.
Huang Han was not worried that Jiannu would send men to chase and intercept him, but was worried that Jiannu's men and horses would go south too quickly, causing many Aha who had just escaped from the sea of suffering to die under Jiannu's knife.
Now there is a forest fire that is burning in one piece, so if you don't want to become a roast duck on the stove, come on! He waved his hand to the north, which was half red, and walked away.
Huang Han, who retreated, did not walk in a straight line at all, in order to make more Han people escape from the clutches of Jiannu, he led his men and horses to approach and walk sideways, and during this period, he was able to find some small villages of Jiannu.
Hao Tuala is more important to Jiannu, because there is spiritual sustenance here, and in the eyes of Huang Han, it is just an ordinary walled city, with no strategic value.
When Dai Shan came to Hao Tuala with 5,000 cavalry, thousands of soldiers and civilians had already fled here, but these people had different opinions, and Dai Shan could not confirm how many cavalry the Ming army had come.
