h2> Song Tao took a deep breath and said, "Then what do you mean, we can't fight Liaoyang this time,"

Li Ming glanced at Song Tao and said with a smile: "Who said that we won't fight, we just won't fight Liaoyang City, and the villages and Zhuangzi around Liaoyang will also be uprooted, and before the Tartars mobilize the troops and horses, we should withdraw." ”

Song Tao was a little unwilling, but he could only nod helplessly, after all, Liaoyang is a big city, which is different from Gaizhouwei and Haizhouwei. With the ability of those Ming troops in Dongjiang Town, even if someone helped open the city gate, they couldn't take Liaoyang. If Liaoyang City is captured, it will be too fake.

Haizhou City was now piled up with a large amount of supplies, and Li Ming organized thousands of rescued Liao people to be transported back to Lianhua Island under the escort of a brigade of veteran ruffians and several off-road vehicles. In addition to supplies and Tartar women, there is another thing that I have also gotten a lot, that is, the head of the Tartars, which has been made by thousands, and this thing is in demand in Guanning Army and Denglai.

Huang Taiji entered the customs, is raging near the Beijing Division, the head of the Tartar is also rising with the tide, Jizhou Town, Xuanfu Town and other military leaders near the Beijing Division want to be crazy with the Tartar head, at this time the Tartar head for food can definitely be exchanged for a high price.

Because the speed of the raid on Haizhou and Gaizhou was too fast, there were not many Tartars who ran out alive, and the land in these two places was scraped clean by those veteran ruffians, and the carriages pulling supplies were almost connected on the official post road.

Many Tartar bannermen near Haizhouwei fled in the direction of Liaoyang. It was only now that the defenders of Liaoyang realized that something was wrong, and now they did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly reported to Shenyang, and sent a horse team of nearly 1,000 people to Haizhou in advance.

But when the team arrived in Haizhou, it was getting dark. They hurriedly arrived at the city of Haizhou and found that there was nothing abnormal in Haizhou. When the armor soldiers guarding the city at the head of the city saw them, they opened the city gate without saying a word, and the drawbridge was also lowered, and the horse team of nearly a thousand Tartars roared and rushed into Haizhouwei.

As soon as they entered the city, the gate behind them was closed, and before these Tartars could react, dozens of machine guns lying in ambush around them opened fire almost simultaneously, and the dense bullets hit their heads and faces, and nearly a thousand Tartar cavalry gathered on the narrow main street, and there was no place to hide.

In just a few moments, this team of nearly a thousand Tartar horses was wiped out. The gunfire stopped, and hundreds of ruffians rushed out of the surrounding alleys, armed with weapons and began to clear the battlefield.

Li Ming and Song Tao stood on the gatehouse of the city wall, looking at the layers of corpses on the main street below the city. Song Tao laughed and said, "This is nearly a thousand Tartar heads. Paralyzed, this time I have to let those Ming military leaders get back to their blood, and I don't want anything but food. ”

When everyone heard Song Tao's words, they all laughed. Li Ming waited for everyone to laugh, and then solemnly issued an order: "Song Tao, you take the special combat team with all the vehicles, and rush all the way north for me, sweeping the villages and towns on both sides of the official road." When the cavalry brigade wearing the uniforms of the Ming army arrived, they tried to take down Anshan for me tonight, and then picked all the villages and towns around Anshan for me. ”

"No problem, just see." Song Tao left with the troops.

Li Ming turned around and ordered the commanders of the detachments around him: "The troops began to change into the clothes of the Ming army and continue to march north, and a platoon of the War Department and a battalion of the overseas corps were responsible for the defense of Haizhouwei. ”

When the commanders of the surrounding detachments heard Li Ming's words, they all accepted the order loudly, and the entire Haizhou City became noisy. Li Ming requisitioned another 2,000 Liao auxiliary soldiers in Haizhou, and now they are busy in the city, more than 1,000 carriages of all kinds are equipped with large animals, and all kinds of materials are also fully equipped.

The advance troops led by Song Tao moved very quickly and swept away the villages and towns on both sides of the official road from Haizhou to Anshan. Before midnight, the cavalry brigade arrived at Anshan Post and made peace with Song Tao's advance troops, and they successively attacked Anshan Post and Anshan City.

In the early hours of the morning, Li Ming rushed to Anshan with the main force of his troops and began to sweep around Anshan. The people in the Tartars near Anshan were much denser, and the troops combed through the place in a company unit.

It wasn't until noon the next day that the villages around Anshan were swept away. At this time, the blood was already soaring within a radius of dozens of miles from Anshan, countless villages were burning into flames, and the corpses of Tartars were scattered everywhere.

A large number of rescued Liao people were clothed and drove carts, groups of poultry and livestock and war horses and livestock to Haizhou City.

Near Anshan, a large number of bannermen fled to Liaoyang. This time the direction of Liaoyang is completely crazy, the war has burned to the vicinity of Liaoyang, according to those who escaped from the banners cried, the attack on them are all wearing Ming armor Ming army, as well as a large number of guns and artillery, the strength is quite strong.

The Liaoyang guard was stupid when he heard it*, he didn't have many troops in his hands. He had sent more than a thousand Tartars to Haizhou, but until now he had not received news from Haizhou, so he sent a large number of rangers to the direction of Haizhou to inquire about the news.

Before these rangers crossed Anshan, they were stunned by the scene in front of them, a village and a fort were ablaze, the corpses of the bannermen near Anshan were all over the field, and many rangers also encountered a group of Ming cavalry, so frightened that they hurriedly turned their horses and fled.

The news of Anshan's discovery of the Ming army reached Liaoyang, which made Liaoyang's Tartars suddenly nervous. But then, the news brought by the Tartar rangers who rushed back from Gaizhou, Haizhou, almost scared the Tartar guards to death. It's only been a few days, even if the Ming army in Dongjiang Town landed from Gaizhou, and wanted to break Gaizhou and Haizhou to Anshan, it would be impossible to be so fast.

All the Tartars guessed that it must be that there must be Dongjiang Town's internal response in Gaizhou and Haizhou City, helping the Ming army in Dongjiang Town to open the city, which allowed the Ming army to take Gaizhou, Haizhou and Anshan so quickly.

The spies sent by Mao Wenlong to Houjin were not one or two, not even dozens, but hundreds, thousands, judging from the records of Houjin's "Manchu Old Files" and the remaining archives of the cabinet treasury Houjin, it was simply full of Mao Wenlong's spies, so that the rulers of Houjin reached the point where they were all soldiers, frightened, and suspicious.

That's why Houjin was so jealous of Dongjiang Town, and when Mao Wenlong was there, the soldiers and ruffians in Dongjiang Town were simply pervasive. The most are hundreds or thousands, and the few are tens or hundreds, landing in various places in southern Liaoning to attack the villages and tunbao of the Tartars.

If it weren't for Lao Yuan killing Mao Wenlong, and Houjin and Jin all relaxed their guards, Li Ming and Song Tao would not have been able to achieve such brilliant results. Within a few days, it was connected to Gaizhouwei, Haizhouwei, Yingkou, and Anshan, and it was also able to calmly sweep the surrounding villages and forts.

The guards of Liaoyang hurriedly sent people to Shenyang to ask for help, and then began a general mobilization around Liaoyang. The mobilization ability of the Tartars is really insignificant, both young and old are all wearing armor, and even the old ladies are coming from all over the place with bows and horses.

In less than two days, thousands of people were gathered, and Shenyang was also mobilized, and a large number of fast horses were also sprinkled in various places, and the entire Liaoyang and Shenyang Tartars were mobilized.

Huang Taiji took away most of the elite main force of Houjin, and the remaining Tartar elites were also stationed in the direction of Ningjin to defend against the Guanning army. Therefore, the hinterland of the Later Jin regime, Liaoshen, is extremely empty, and there are not many soldiers of the Eight Banners in the forehead, and now they are all ordinary bannermen.

In order to grasp the enemy situation in the direction of Liaoyang, Li Ming sent several special combat team members and Ding Weiguo and Luan Shuping to conduct reconnaissance with two drones near Liaoyang, and the situation in the direction of Liaoyang was also fed back at the first time.

In view of the fact that the Tartars had already carried out a large-scale mobilization and had lost the suddenness of the campaign, Li Ming decided to end the winter battle plan ahead of schedule, but he still had to do a lot of harm before leaving. Li Ming led a large army to escort the supplies and retreated first.

Song Tao took a special combat team and more than a dozen combat vehicles, as well as a battalion of elite cavalry, to take charge of the broken rear. Moreover, it is necessary to take advantage of the night to go deep into the surroundings of Liaoyang, sweep the rear of the Tartars, try to create panic, make the Tartars tired, and cover the retreat of the main force and a large number of supplies.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Ming led the main force of the army and escorted the carriage that could not be seen to retreat in the direction of Gaizhou. Anshan and Haizhou were also burned by their fires.

The Tartars are constantly gathering bannermen, and have sent a large number of rangers to infiltrate in the direction of Haizhouwei. When they found that Anshan and Haizhou were drowning in raging fires, they were stupid at that time and hurriedly returned to Liaoyang to report.

When the Tartars heard the news, they immediately felt as if the sky had fallen, and immediately began to prepare, deciding to send troops the next morning. But the news that came back next made Tartar even more shocked, last night more than a dozen Zhuang forts near Liaoyang were broken overnight, and none of the people in Zhuangzi survived, and they were burned clean.

As soon as the news broke, the bannermen mobilized from all over the country could not sit still, and they asked to go home one after another. Now the people are afraid, and these Tartars are afraid that their village or the fort will be attacked. The Tartar bannermen, who were still excited, were in turmoil.

The Tartar guards in Liaoyang also had no idea, and now even he was afraid, so he had to do his best to appease the bannermen below, and then wait for reinforcements from Shenyang to arrive.

Li Ming's army won a precious day, and they traveled day and night to return to Lianhua Island in Gaizhou the next night. At this time, the fleet of the Admiralty was also fighting day and night, and they were hardly idle these days, transporting a large number of supplies to Ocean Island. But there were so many supplies piled up near Kyaw Island that dozens of slab houses from Jeju Island were transferred.

It would take at least two days for all of these supplies to be transported, and Li Ming had no choice but to let Song Tao continue to fight to buy time for the withdrawal of the main force. Song Tao received Li Ming's order, and simply took the special combat team to sit in three armored vehicles, went deep into Shenyang overnight along the Hunhe River, and picked a few Zhuangzi in one go.

They slapped their butts and left, but they scared the Tartars in Shenyang half to death, and hurriedly recalled the troops sent to Liaoyang, and searched for them near Shenyang, making noise around Shenyang. R1152
