Chapter 1213 captures Shenyang

Hearing that Xingjing was attacked, Heluo's heart was suddenly shocked, the most traffic-saving and ad-free site for mobile phones.

A short time later, when he returned to the festival hall, a soldier came in carrying a stretcher, and on it lay a seriously wounded young man, probably only fourteen or fifteen years old.

The Manchurian army was in short supply, and the fifteen-year-old was all made up as bannermen to fight in the Guan, and there were some old and weak women and children outside the Guan.

He Luohui and Mingzhu hurriedly walked over, they saw that the young man had a few big holes caused by guns, the blood was already black, his face was as white as paper and he was dying, Mingzhu hurriedly squatted down and asked urgently: "Tell me quickly, what's wrong with Xingjing?" ”

The young man opened his eyes slightly, and said with a faint breath: "More than a thousand Ming troops raided Xingjing, and they really saved the clansmen..."

Before he finished speaking, the young man's body trembled, suddenly straightened, and he lost his breath.

He Luohui's face was gloomy, Mingzhu squatted for a while, stretched out his hand to close the young man's eyes, and then stood up and fell into silence.

What are you really afraid of, what is coming, the Ming army actually raided Xingjing, which shows that they are also afraid that the Qing Dynasty will retreat into Changbai Mountain.

"What about Gushan?" After the two were silent for a while, Mingzhu said tentatively: "I just said that only more than 1,000 Ming troops attacked the village, or I will lead 1,500 people to come to the rescue?" ”

He Luohui was silent for a while and shook his head, "If I'm not mistaken, the people and horses in charge of monitoring North Korea have been wiped out by the Ming army, and the enemy army may have already crossed the Yalu River!" ”

Mingzhu was shocked, "What does Gushan mean, the main force of the Ming army is killing Shengjing?" So what should we do, divide our troops to save Xingjing, or stay all the city defended? ”

He Luohui did not answer, this was a difficult choice for him, he thought about it for a while, at this time he could no longer disperse his forces, and staying in Shengjing could only sit and wait for death, trapped by the Ming army, suddenly he gritted his teeth, "Pass the order, while the Ming army has not yet arrived in Shengjing, all the Manchurians immediately bring food and go to Xingjing." ”

Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, "What about the coating?" ”

"When we enter the mountains, we have no source of food, and we can't eat for long, so what do we take them with." He Luohui said coldly: "Let them delay time in Shengjing!" ”

The mountains around Xingjing stretch, the Manchurians can only fish and hunt again, the food is bound to be tight, where is there still food to feed the clothed slaves.

Mingzhu nodded, "Then when are we leaving?" ”

"Set off tonight, I estimate that the Ming army striker should go to Shengjing."

Facts have proved that Heluohui was right, and in the afternoon, someone reported that the Ming army sentry cavalry had been found in the south of Shengjing, and a large army was coming from Shengjing.

Heluohui has a total of 3,000 men, and the Ming Dynasty coalition army stationed in Yizhou has more than 30,000 people, and the strength is ten times that of him.

That night, he asked Bao Yi to carry torches and go up to the city to inspect to create the illusion that Shengjing was well defended, while he took 3,000 bannermen and 10,000 Manchu old and weak, carrying burdens, and drove a mule cart out of the north gate.

After walking five miles north, they turned to the northeast, preparing to go to Salhu first, and then go against the Suzi River to Xingjing to defeat the more than 1,000 Ming troops there.

Xingjing is the nest of the Manchurians, where the mountains, water and forests, and even every stone, are familiar to the Manchurians, and they are located in the middle of the mountains.

Shenyang is located on the plain, a radius of hundreds of miles are fertile plains, from Shenyang to the east, until the Ming Dynasty Fushun City, is flat.

Originally, there were nearly one million Han people living here in Liaodong, which was the result of two hundred years of pioneering in the Ming Dynasty, but because of the rebellion of the old slaves, it has long been deserted, and large areas of fertile land are covered with weeds and forests.

Peel away the tender grass, and sometimes you can see the ruins of villages.

If there was no such chaos, the internal contradictions of the Ming Dynasty might have been alleviated to a certain extent because of the immigration to the outside of the customs and to the southwest, and there would be a chance to complete its own transformation.

At this time, in a forest in the northeast of Shenyang, several Ming army scouts watched a mighty procession, passing in front of them, it was the Heluo Society that had withdrawn from Shenyang.

There were more than 13,000 people in this team, and a small number of red-armored banner soldiers were guarding the sides of the team, and in the middle were the elderly, weak, women, children, and food baggage, which accounted for the majority.

The Manchurians had a large number of livestock, and there were many vehicles, mules and carts were pulled, and the old people and children were seated with grain on the carts, and the strong women of the Manchurians drove the vehicles, and did not slow down the march of the procession.

The Ming scouts observed for a while, then quietly withdrew from the woods, and then took another shortcut and ran forward.

After running for more than ten miles in one go, the scouts came to a forest, where the eight thousand Ming soldiers rested for two days, and the soldiers were all in good spirits, washing away the fatigue of half a month of continuous marching.

Xie Qian accepted Xia Wanchun's suggestion, let Ding Keze attack Xinbinbao first, let the Manchurians in the fort ask Shenyang for help, and then let the Korean army enter Shenyang, forcing Heluohui to abandon the city, and they ambushed outside the city to annihilate the Qing army out of the city in one fell swoop.

Of course, if Heluo would not be fooled, then the Ming army would not have suffered any losses, and would go directly to join the Korean army and encircle Shenyang to attack, but it would take a little more effort.

As for the vast wilderness, how to judge the retreat route of the Heluo Society is also very simple.

Outside the gate has been abandoned for too long, the trail is almost flooded with weeds and trees, it is more difficult to walk, Heluohui is a large team, and it is definitely necessary to take the old official road from Shenyang to Fushun, Xia Wanchun suggested that Xie Qian just wait on the road.

At this time, Xie Qian and Xia Wanchun were sitting in the woods, and the scout Xiaoqi came forward and reported on one knee, "Qi Yu Governor, Supervisor Army, the Qing army is coming from the official road, and it will be able to enter the ambush circle in half an hour." ”

Xie Qian was still more cautious, "How many people are there, how long is the line, and is the cavalry in front or behind?" ”

The Ming army in North Korea can only be regarded as a second-rate army, when Nikan 10,000 elite Qing troops were stationed in Seoul, Xie Qian gathered more than 30,000 Korean troops to besiege Seoul, fought for several months, but did not defeat it, so he did not dare to underestimate the Qing army, and he must find out the situation of the Qing army.

"The number is less than fifteen thousand, the ranks are about three miles, and the cavalry is three thousand, no longer in front and not behind, but on both sides of the old and weak and the baggage."

Xia Wanchun smiled when he heard this, "If you march like this, it will be better to fight!" ”

Xie Qian breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said to the scout: "It's hard work, go and rest!" ”

The scout saluted and retreated, and at this time, Xie Qian beckoned, and the generals of the Ming army sitting in the forest immediately surrounded him.

After Heluohui left Shengjing, he went back to the official road, and then continued to march to the northeast, he had to pass through Fushun first, establish a stronghold in Salhu, and then lead the elite soldiers to kill directly back to Xingjing.

After he left the city, he walked dozens of miles, and left the vicinity of Shengjing, and the ground became a barren land, which can be described as a thousand miles without a rooster crowing, and there was not a single village or a single figure in sight.

The desolate scene did not make him feel sad, but made him feel safe, because this was a kind of solid wall for the Ming army.

At this time, Heluohui, seeing that the team had marched for a day and a night, the cavalry and the old and weak were exhausted, and many children had already fallen asleep in the car, but he did not let the team stop, he decided to walk for a while to prevent the Ming army from catching up.

At this time, the team walked through the old official road between the trees, and the soldiers who were in ambush in the woods on both sides shrank behind the trees, or lay on the ground with their heads bowed to avoid being discovered by the Qing army.

Xie Qian squatted on one knee in the middle of the tree, gently brushed away the branches that blocked his vision, and saw the Qing army passing in front of him, and hundreds of carts were full of food and ordnance.

At this time, he suddenly raised his hand, and the Ming soldiers stretched out the firearms in their hands one after another and aimed them at the flag soldiers on their horses.

At this time, Xie Qian judged that the Qing army had completely entered the ambush circle, and he immediately waved his hand and shouted in his mouth, "Release!" ”

On both sides of the woods, there was a sudden sound of gunfire, the forest was filled with gunsmoke, and the Qing army marching in the middle was hit by the firecrackers, and suddenly people turned over on their backs, and they all screamed and fell from their horses.

Lead bullets were shot all over the sky, and in an instant, hundreds of Qing troops were killed and wounded, and there was chaos on the official road, and the Qing troops guarding desperately pulled the reins in an attempt to stabilize the frightened war horses.

At this time, three rounds of gunfire passed, Xie Qian suddenly pulled out the knife and roared angrily, "Kill!" ”

Nearly 8,000 Ming troops on both sides immediately rushed out of the forest like fierce tigers, and rushed straight up, regardless of men, women, old and weak, all of them were slashed and killed, and the people picked up their weapons to resist, but where they were the opponents of the Ming army, they were killed and screamed and rolled off the cart.

Almost at the same time, Lin Qingye led 20,000 Korean troops to rush into the city of Shenyang, and the city immediately became full of smoke, and the palaces and ancestral tombs of the people were burned by the Koreans.
