Chapter 1297: The Battle of Dignity (16)
The purge in Shenyang broke out because of Jia Jihan's matter, and Huang Taiji and Jierharang did not have the energy, so the purge was handed over to the heroic king Azig to handle, which was undoubtedly a nightmare for those Han people who served the Qing Dynasty.
A series of bloody incidents broke out in the city of Shenyang, many Han ministers, were arrested for no reason, and their families were also imprisoned, it is said that there was such a situation, Shenyang City should be panicked, but unfortunately there are people cheering everywhere, the Manchurian nobles are eager to have such a situation, those Han people are officials in the court, large and small, always have some power, competing for their benefits, and now the purge is carried out, it can be regarded as a bad breath for them, as for many Han people, I am also glad that these traitors have been completely eliminated, and the so-called evil will be rewarded.
Jia Jihan was executed by Ling Chi, all the men in his family over the age of 16 were killed, the women were sold directly to the Qinglou, and the men under the age of 16 were sold into slavery.
Huang Taiji and Zierharang are most concerned about the matter, or stationed in Fushun and Salhu Haoge, plus many Manchu nobles in Shenyang City, after leaving Shenyang, went straight to Fushun and other places, strictly speaking, Haoge's side, concentrated a large number of Manchu people, these people are in need of protection, that is to say, Haoge represents the future of the Qing Dynasty.
According to Huang Taiji's opinion, Jierharang transferred part of the troops of the Zhenghuang Banner and the Yellow Banner stationed in Shenyang, and urgently rushed to Fushun and Salhu to reinforce them, and at the same time transferred the troops on the periphery of Shenyang to concentrate on protecting Shenyang, so that the troops stationed on the periphery were pitiful, in fact, they gave up the strongholds on the periphery of Shenyang.
However, Jierharang's plan was not fully implemented, because the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion led by Lu Xiangsheng had already begun to attack. Some of the troops involved in the battle were unable to evacuate their positions at all, and if they were forced to evacuate, they would probably suffer the fate of annihilation.
Huang Taiji and Zilharang would never have dreamed that it was precisely because of their such adjustment and deployment that the process of the campaign was accelerated. It also shortened the time for its own destruction.
The army led by Sun Chuanting and He Renlong rushed to Fushun and Salhu and other places with lightning speed.
In fact, there are a lot of fighters along the way, and if they launch an attack, they will definitely be able to achieve some major victories, but according to Hong Chengchou's requirements, they will definitely not fall in love with the war, even if they meet some small units of the Houjin Tartars that can be directly annihilated, they will not pay attention.
Hong Chengchou's order was very clear, and it took three days. Rushed to Fushun and Salhu and other places, surrounded the Houjin Tartars led by Haoge, and did not allow any Houjin Tartars to escape, and at the same time nailed to Fushun and Salhu and other places like nails, no matter how many Houjin Tartars were sent by Shenyang, they could not retreat, even if they suffered heavy sacrifices and losses, they must insist.
Of course, Sun Chuanting and He Renlong understood the meaning. In fact, their task is to directly insert into Salhu and other places. Stick here firmly and cut off the retreat of the Houjin Tartars, if they can complete the task well, it means that they can completely exterminate the Houjin Tartars, so that the Houjin Tartars cannot return to their lair.
It's an extraordinary task, and it's a daunting one. The trapped beast is still fighting, facing the fate of being exterminated, the Houjin Tartar will definitely go crazy, but to be able to undertake such a task, Sun Chuanting and He Renlong are very happy. As long as they really hold on, it indicates that the Houjin Tartars will be completely exterminated.
It took just over two days for the army to reach its destination.
Hauge never thought that the army of the Jiangning battalion would rush to Fushun to surround and attack him.
Guangning and Haizhou were captured, Daishan and Dolgon were killed, after Haoge knew the news, he became more and more anxious, and repeatedly put forward a request, leading the army to Shenyang, but this request was vetoed by Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji's requirements became more and more strict, requiring Haoge to stick between Sarhu and Fushun, and at the same time taking into account Fushun Pass and Zhenbei Pass, once Shenyang was in danger, leaving a part of the soldiers stationed in Zhenbei Pass, which was conducive to the evacuation of the army.
Just when Haoge was restless, some Manchu nobles from the direction of Shenyang came to Fushun.
This made Haoge realize that he could not return to Shenyang, and these Manchu nobles came to Fushun, in fact, they took refuge in him, because he was the crown prince of the Great Qing Kingdom and the future emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom.
The army led by Haoge is mainly composed of sergeants of the blue flag, as well as some sergeants of the yellow flag and the yellow flag, especially some officers who are brave in battle, such as Sony, Aobai, etc., all followed him to Fushun, to say that the combat effectiveness is very strong, in fact, such an arrangement, Haoge also understands, that is, to keep the blood of the Qing Dynasty.
Haoge accepted the Manchu nobles from Shenyang, most of these people are young people, they are the children of those Manchu nobles, these people have basically not suffered much, to say that they are integrated into the army, it is impossible, it can only be properly settled, but also a good greeting.
Hauge carefully greeted these Manchurian nobles, and most of his energy was involved in this aspect, as for the related defense matters, Sony and Aobai and others were basically directly responsible.
The sudden attack of the Jiangning battalion surprised Haoge.
The defense of the 20,000 army, because of the problem of troops, can not be exhaustive, because the vast majority of the Manchu nobles are temporarily living in Fushun City, so the defense of Fushun is the top priority, especially the crown prince Haoge in Fushun, so more than 20,000 troops, of which 15,000 are stationed in Fushun, as for the Zhenbei Pass that Huang Taiji has always emphasized, there are only more than 1,000 soldiers stationed, not to mention Fushun to Zhenbei Pass, which is still separated by two cities of Tieling and Kaiyuan, and more than 2,000 people are stationed in these two cities. In fact, from the perspective of overall defense, it is still focused on Fushun.
Once Fushun is surrounded, the total number of troops stationed in Zhenbei Pass, Tieling and Kaiyuan is only more than 5,000 people, and they are simply unable to rescue Fushun, but if Fushun is lost, these 5,000 soldiers will not be able to hold on.
The attack of the Jiangning battalion army was very targeted, and it directly surrounded Fushun.
According to the information obtained, their focus was to encircle Fushun, set up a defensive line between Fushun and Tieling, stationed 10,000 people, set up a defensive line between Shenyang and Fushun, stationed 20,000 people, and the remaining 40,000 people were all engaged in the attack on Fushun.
The suddenness of the operation, thanks to the rapid action of the Jiangning battalion, the changes in the Houjin intelligence network, and the efficiency of the Dajin intelligence network, in the process of the army's march, the Houjin Tartars always thought that this army was preparing to attack Shenyang, and it was going to act together with the army led by Lu Xiangsheng, and no one noticed that this army was going to besiege Fushun.
It wasn't until the deployment was basically completed and ready to launch an offensive that the Houjin Tartars discovered such a deployment.
By this time, Sun Chuanting and He Renlong's main energy had already focused on how to take Fushun.
The battle for the attack on Fushun unfolded amid the rumbling of artillery.
The 40,000-strong army attacked Fushun City, facing the 15,000-post-gold tartars, which seemed to be a very simple battle, but it was a little difficult, in order to gain time, Sun Chuanting and He Renlong set off without carrying too much artillery, which would inevitably slow down the process.
Aobai, who was stationed in Tieling, learned that Fushun was surrounded by the north of the city, and hurriedly asked the sergeants stationed in Zhenbei Pass and Kaiyuan to retreat and reinforce Fushun.
So the battle began in two directions.
Although the number of artillery carried by the Jiangning battalion is not very large, but the defense of Fushun is not particularly stable, this is not the focus of the Qing Dynasty, because it is in the rear, has not attracted special attention, Haoge led the army to Fushun, it is the moment when the Qing Dynasty is in crisis, there is no time and energy to repair the city wall of Fushun, more attention is paid to the situation in Shenyang, plus a lot of Manchu nobles came to Fushun, which involved Haoge's energy.
Under the advantages of the other, the attack of the Jiangning battalion was very sharp.
After the battle began, Haoge quickly calmed down, it has reached the current situation, thinking of other ways out has no effect, Fushun City was surrounded, 15,000 soldiers stationed in the city, only desperate persistence, there is hope, Haoge fully believes that once Shenyang learns the news, it will definitely send a large number of reinforcements, only by holding on, can we wait for the arrival of reinforcements, the situation can be fundamentally changed.
Therefore, the resistance was very tenacious, and Hauge even went to the city wall to supervise the battle in person, if it weren't for the sharpness of the Jiangning battalion's artillery, Hauge would even go to the city wall in person.
It was He Renlong who directly commanded the battle.
Seeing that after the shelling, the city wall of Fushun was crumbling, He Renlong immediately asked the soldiers to charge.
But the first round of the charge was not successful, which is very rare, and after paying hundreds of soldiers to die, He Renlong had to ask for a pause in the first round of the attack.
The battle in the direction of Tieling also started, but fortunately, the 10,000 soldiers stationed there easily blocked the Houjin Tartars who came to reinforce them, and continuously repelled the attacks of the Houjin Tartars.
However, He Renlong understands that Fushun must be taken as soon as possible, time is urgent, once a large number of Houjin Tartars pour in from the direction of Shenyang, the situation will become complicated.
