This time, Chen Xin did not wait too long, although the history he was familiar with, although there was a slight deviation under the instigation of his giant butterfly, but, after all, most of Chen Xin's own energy was not focused on the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Xin's main toss is foreign history, so the history between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty is still moving forward with great inertia.

A few days later than history, on the ninth day of the first month of November, Tian Jianwu, the commander of the Gaoshan Observation Force, came to Chen Xin excitedly and personally reported to Chen Xin, "The defenders of Dalinghe City have surrendered to Houjin. ”

Chen Xin's thoughts turned a thousand times for a while, and his thoughts at this time were quite complicated.

On the one hand, the Ming defenders in Dalinghe City had done their best, they fulfilled their duties, but they were forced to surrender because they were unable to break through the siege.

However, on the other hand, Chen Xin, as a classical Chinese person, has a natural and sacred yearning for the profession of a soldier in his heart, and in his mind, soldiers, especially Chinese soldiers, should not have surrendered.

Although he knew that this was just an illusion, after all, this was the last trace of pure land in his heart, and he didn't want to see someone tarnish the honor of Huaxia soldiers.

"Fortunately, this is just a feudal army in the feudal era, not the People's Liberation Army in later generations." Awkward in his heart, Chen Xin had no choice but to comfort himself like this.

Taking advantage of Chen Xin's entanglement, the secretariat quickly completed the last document sent by Tian Jianwu, synthesized it into a thick document of "The Battle of Dalinghe", and then handed it to Chen Xin for viewing.

Chen Xin flipped through the information, and at the same time, with the help of Lao Bai, he also slowly recalled the bits and pieces when he first read the book, and the comparison between the two was quite interesting.

The Battle of Daling River was an extremely important battle that left a strong mark in the history books.

After entering the Ming Dynasty for the first time and rushing thousands of miles from the northern grasslands to the Gyeonggi region, Huang Taiji, who had achieved a high position among the many young officers of the Later Jin Dynasty, canceled the practice of taking turns to govern the four Dale on a monthly basis established during the Nurhachi period in the name of his brother's poor health and need to rest more.

Moreover, in order to further strengthen his power, before the Battle of the Daling River began, Huang Taiji imitated the system of the Ming Dynasty and formed six departments, namely officials, rites, households, soldiers, criminals, and workers.

The heads of the six ministries were all imperial relatives among the Jurchens, and all of them were given the title of Baylor. These so-called Baylors are all the younger generation of the Jurchens, and they are all directly under the leadership of Huang Taiji.

This was a highly centralized political system of feudal nature, and Huang Taiji continued to make steady progress on the road of consolidating power, while the power of Daishan and Mang Gurtai was further weakened and weakened.

The success of the attack on the Gyeonggi region of the Ming Dynasty completely freed the Jurchens from the shadow of the defeat of Jinning and the death of Nurhachi.

From this operation, they saw the cowardice and incompetence of the Ming army, saw that the Ming Dynasty was gradually weakening, and further strengthened their confidence in fighting with the Ming Dynasty.

In that raid, Houjin plundered a large number of people and property, and the national strength was greatly enhanced.

In short, the battle of a thousand miles of rushing allowed Huang Taiji to get rid of the political, military and economic crises, and the Later Jin regime began to embark on the track of normal development.

On the other side, Sun Chengzong, an old minister who was already preparing to retire in his old age, was ordered to be the governor of the military during the first battle of the Later Jin Dynasty.

He lived up to Chongzhen's trust, quickly recovered the four cities of Yongping, and then made serious adjustments to the military defense of Guannai.

Then in the first month of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong took command again in the ancient year, took charge of the military affairs outside the Guan, and in accordance with the policy he set at the beginning, he began to implement his own strategy again, that is, to build Dalinghe City for the third time.

Dalinghe City is an important line of defense to shield Jinzhou. If the big and small Ling River can be repaired like Ning Yuan, it will be equivalent to one more Xiongguan in front of Shanhaiguan.

If the Ming army wants to consolidate Liao, it must repair this city, and then Jin must demolish this city if he wants to attack Ming.

Since the time of Yuan Chonghuan, the competition between the two sides for the two cities of the Great and Small Linghe has been very fierce, and it has been two constructions and two demolitions. This time, the task of repairing the Daling River fell on his head.

In the face of the Ming Dynasty army's rebuilding of Dalinghe City, Huang Taiji certainly could not sit idly by.

You must know that once the construction of Dalinghe City is completed, it will be for the Ming army to get the first move again, and the offensive position that Houjin has spent decades to obtain will likely be offensive and defensive.

Therefore, Huang Taiji immediately requisitioned a large army, including the Mongol soldiers, and on July 27, he set out from Shenyang and crossed the Liao River the next day, opening the prelude to the Battle of Linghe.

In this battle, Huang Taiji divided his troops into two routes, one route was led by 20,000 troops led by Beledeg, Yuetuo, and Azig, and settled between Jinzhou and the Daling River through Yizhou, cutting off the connection between Jinzhou and the Daling River.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin was a little stuck, because he remembered that this Azig had a different ending from history, when he was in North Korea, he was captured alive by Lakshin, and now he is still imprisoned in the kingdom, and Azig at this time can not lead the Houjin army.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin smiled heartily, and participated in the action of changing the course of history, which always made him feel that time and space were out of order, shaking his head, throwing out all these things that he didn't have, and Chen Xin continued to recall history.

The other army was led by Huang Taiji himself, and pressed towards Dalinghe City from the front through Montenegro and Guangning.

According to the history books, the Battle of the Daling River can be divided into three phases, the first of which is called the siege

Although Dalinghe City was destroyed by the Jin soldiers many times, the original wall foundation was still there, so the progress of repairing the city was relatively fast. If Huang Taiji's movements were a little slower, Dalinghe City might have been completed.

But Huang Taiji didn't give Zu Dashou enough time, and when he had been cultivating for less than half a month, he led this army to the city of Dalinghe.

At this time, the city wall had not yet been repaired, and Zu Dashou had no choice but to close the city gate and rush to the battle.

In this battle of the Daling River, Huang Taiji learned the lesson when he captured the inland city of Daming, and did not dare to attack as hard as before.

So this time, Huang Taiji changed to a siege. He ordered the Houjin army to dig four trenches around Dalinghe City, and built a wall more than one zhang high, surrounding the small Dalinghe City like an iron bucket.

In this battle, Huang Taiji dispatched at least 50,000 troops, plus four trenches and a wall, it is absolutely impossible for more than 10,000 people and horses of Zu Dashou to break through!

The army of the Ming Dynasty did not expect that the Houjin Tartars would change their tactics and make such a ruthless move, and the grain and grass in the city were only enough for a few days, and after a few days, the city of Dalinghe would run out of food.

The soldiers in the city were all terrified, and Zu Dashou made several tentative breakthroughs, but they were all killed by the Jin soldiers. In desperation, he had to sit in the city of sorrow, looking forward to reinforcements.

Next, there is the second stage, which is called reinforcement.

Zu Dashou's team is the most effective in the Guanwai army, mainly cavalry, and it is an iron cavalry outside the Guanwai. Zu Dashou is somewhat similar to Mao Wenlong, and he is very good at winning people's hearts, which can be seen from the fact that the two of them have recognized many righteous sons.

Zu Dashou's subordinates are all brothers in life and death who can pay for him with their lives at critical moments. In particular, this team has undergone rigorous training by Yuan Chonghuan. It is recorded in history that the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are all here.

For such a team, the Ming court will naturally not sit idly by.
