Chapter 950: The Grass River Victory, Fresh Returns to the Old Meaning
Ah Gui is the son of Actun, the governor of Zhili, who invited himself to lead the army to attack Tanggu when the British went on a northern expedition and the Empress Dowager mourned Sheji. Considering that his father had decided to defend the city of Beijing and had to leave a family bloodline, the Empress Dowager sent him to lead the Fengtai camp and escort the Manchurians to move north to Shengjing.
After arriving in Shengjing, Ah Gui asked Ortai to lead the troops to resist the enemy, and Ortai appointed him as the president of the former wing of the Wuwei Army, and reorganized the banner soldiers of the Fengtai and Liaoyang battalions to be responsible for the front-line defense of Liaoyang.
As a new generation of Manchu elites, Ah Gui not only had the ambition to protect the Manchu ethnic lineage, but also was open-minded and studious, and hated the old-fashioned Manchus who held on to Manchu cavalry and archery, believing that it was their stubbornness that damaged the Qing Dynasty and caused the Manchus to face the disaster of extermination.
Inspired by the Yinghua Shengwu Society and the Heavenly Punishment Society, he formed the Manchurian Huangwu Society with the younger generation of Manchu generals such as Gao Jin, Hadaha, Bandi and Zhaohui, and Ortai built a military guard, and brought these five people together to serve as the presidents of each wing, and the five people also had the alias of "Manchurian Five Tiger Generals".
At this time, Gao Jin and Hadaha on the left and right flanks of the Wuwei Army fought with the main force of the puppet Yan in Salhu City, and the president of the rear wing Bandi was stationed in Jinzhou to ensure the smooth flow of the Liaoxi Corridor.
He had the greatest pressure on this side, not only the Seventh Army of Yinghua Han Zaixing, including more than 10,000 red clothes and at least 30,000 Korean troops in two divisions, but also 60,000 Korean troops under the command of Nian Bin, the third prince of the puppet Yan, and the front wing of his Wuwei Army was 14,500 people, with messy equipment and insufficient training, only loyal and enthusiastic.
Most of the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei came from the Eight Banners of Manchuria, as well as the "New Manchurian" ethnic groups such as Xibe, Dahu'er (Daur), Hezhe, and Oroqen, while the front wing of Agui did not even want the Han army bannermen, let alone the Han army's green bannermen.
Ortai made it clear to him that this is a life of nine deaths, but Ah Gui said: "I have already set up the will to die without life, and it is not my knees that save Manzhou, but my head!" ”
When he led his army south. Shengjing is a city full of people crying.
was already determined to die, but when he was stationed on the front line in Liaoyang, Ah Gui found a glimmer of life.
Han Zaixing's Seventh Army slowed down and did not make any major moves after occupying Haicheng, while Nian Bin's North Korean army was even more cautious, advancing north like a snail crawling ten miles a day.
Based on this, Ah Gui judged that Yinghua and Pseudo Yan did not reach a tacit understanding in the direction of Liaodong. Han Zaixing obviously had the intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, while Nian Bin was afraid of Han Zaixing's military strength, so he had a chance to break through the road. Of course, beating Han Zaixing is the thirteenth chapter of fainting, and beating Nian Bin has become the only choice. And Ortai secretly told him another thing. Let this glimmer of vitality not be too ethereal to grasp.
At the beginning of May, perhaps it was the still stalemate in the battle situation in Salhu City that stimulated Nian Bin, seeing that there was an opportunity to seize the advanced Shengjing, and then understood Han Zaixing's calculations, there was no threat to the flanks, so Nian Bin urged the army to rush north, even if it was a light rainy day, he was unwilling to stop.
Rainy days are no time to fight. Nian Bin thought so, and then there was the tragic situation of people turning over on their backs in front of him.
The DPRK and South Korea have been fighting for many years, but they have trained a strong army, but Nian Bin is not the king of Joseon after all, he has exhausted all kinds of means, and even promised to cut thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Liaodong, so that the king of Joseon Li Guangzuo transferred 5,000 elite firearms troops, and the remaining more than 50,000 people are either local garrisons or temporarily mobilized peasant soldiers.
The Qing army attacked from the left flank from multiple directions. The front team of the North Korean soldiers collapsed in an instant. Nian Bin angrily shouted that his subordinates cleaned up the rear team of the Chinese army, and saw that there were not many ambushes in the Qing army. There is also the power of a war.
Just as the rear of the Chinese army was rapidly regrouping, and all units were like headless flies, crowding and colliding, the sound of hooves roared, and a large group of horses divided into several arrows, which crashed out from the right flank and slammed into the waist eye of the Korean army that was in chaos. The Manchurians brandished their sabers, cutting off the rain and raising pieces of blood.
Glancing at the North Korean soldiers who had made a mess of porridge, Nian Bin's heart sank into the ice cellar, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Withdraw!" Withdraw to Fort Tongyuan! ”
At this time, he was extremely glad that his deputy Li Guangzhong still took 2,000 firearms and 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers to guard the rear Tongyuan Fort, and these miscellaneous soldiers were lost if they were lost, as long as they brought back the henchmen of the Han army for a thousand years and the other 3,000 firearms army, the Qing army only bit off a piece of meat, and it could not hurt his bones.
In the boiling battlefield, thousands of soldiers gathered in formation, and the butts of bayonets and guns unceremoniously fell on the miscellaneous soldiers who stood in the way, and in a moment they cut a bloody path from the chaos and retreated south.
"President! Nian Bin retreated with the musketeers! ”
"That's the elite of the North Korean soldiers, and they must not be let go!"
The generals asked Ah Gui to fight in high spirits, how many years, how many years has the Qing Dynasty been pressed by Yinghua, and the bravery of the Manchurians has long been buried in the decay of time. But at this critical juncture, under the leadership of this young general, Manren finally proved himself again!
Behold, those Korean soldiers on the battlefield were like pigs and dogs under the swords and guns of the people, and they were executed piece by piece, and all the living were crying wolves and wolves, and their livers and gallbladders were cracked. Their ambush force was less than 10,000 people, but they defeated at least 40,000 or 50,000 Korean troops in an instant.
With Manchurian heroes like Agui, and Manchurian heroes like them, the Manchurians will not die!
The North Korean army brigade has collapsed like bean dregs, and the generals have all aimed at the headquarters of Nian Bin, who has retreated in a hurry.
"Fude, you lead a standard horse team to pursue, and when the general situation here is settled, I will lead a large group of men and horses."
Ah Gui wiped the blood from his face, and ordered in a deep voice, although it is not much more difficult to clean up the North Korean soldiers than to clean up the pigs, but after all, there are tens of thousands of heads, and it is difficult for him to get out now.
The general Fude blushed and led the order, Ah Gui looked at the battlefield and waved his sword: "Annihilate the Goryeo barbarians!" ”
On 11 May, 9,000 Qing troops braved the rain to raid, and nearly 50,000 Korean troops were all annihilated in half a day, beheading 7,000 and capturing 30,000, and only less than 6,000 men and horses escaped from Nian Bin's headquarters.
Since the rise of Yinghua, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been exploring the bottom in the military for nearly 30 years, and the face has long been lost. And this victory at Caohe Fort finally made the people raise their eyebrows, and their waists hardened slightly.
But this battle is not the end, and the end is even more extraordinary.
On the morning of the 12th, Nian Bin led the embarrassed thousands of Korean soldiers back to Tongyuan Fort, retreating all the way, the Qing soldiers and horses attacked and disturbed non-stop, if it was not for the thousand-year-old Han army he mastered, the hundreds of horses would eat up all his defeated troops. Now it's okay, with Tongyuan Fort at its back, the firearms army is not injured, plus 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers, and the strength to fight with the Qing army.
Nian Bin thought like this, just waiting for Li Guangzhong to open the door, Li Guangzhong is Li Guangzuo's nephew, this expedition is to take him as the face of the marshal, although he has the name of the generalissimo of North Korea's soldiers and horses, but in Nian Bin's opinion, Li Guangzuo is a puppet supported by the Nian family, and Li Guangzhong is not a character, just a dog.
While waiting, a trace of fear flashed in Nian Bin's heart, what if the gate of the fortress in front of him was never opened, and Li Guangzhong betrayed? Caohebao was defeated like this, and the Qing army came with a great victory, and it is difficult to say that Li Guangzhong would have different intentions.
Fortunately, the gate of the fort opened, and Li Guangzhong greeted him in person with a smirk, just like Nian Bin's positioning of this person in his heart, he was a dog.
Nian Bin put his mind at ease, and after entering the fort in the secret way, he had to clean up Li Guangzhong immediately to prevent future troubles. As for the excuse, let's just say that the defeat of Caohe Fort was due to the fact that Li Guangzhong was well connected to the Manchu Dynasty, and ...... This is not necessarily impossible.
was piling up smiling faces, about to dismount, Nian Bin suddenly realized something, and the smile froze on his face.
What about the cronies he planted next to Li Guangzhong? None of them appeared!
Nian Bin's slump, Li Guangzhong saw it clearly, his face suddenly sank, and he raised his arms and shouted: "Kill the New Year thief-!" ”
There was a sudden chaos in the area around the fort gate, and Nian Bin and Li Guangzhong's personal soldiers rushed up, covering the commander and hurriedly retreating, while the North Korean soldiers led by Nian Bin were still confused and did not dare to move. A large number of North Korean soldiers poured out of the fort, looking like they were going to break Nian Bin's body into thousands of pieces.
"Let's go! Head east! ”
Nian Bin shouted in his heart, sure enough, Caohe Fort was really done by you Goryeo barbarians in collusion with Qing Dog! Of course, at this time, he didn't think seriously about it, if he really wanted to collude, why should he let tens of thousands of troops accompany the funeral.
Nian Bin made a quick decision as he did in Caohe Fort, leading the Nian family Han army to retreat in a hurry, and thousands of North Korean soldiers who fled from Caohe Fort with him were at a loss, and they were also in a mess, inadvertently covering Nian Bin.
On the thirteenth, when Ah Gui led the army to Tongyuan Fort, after understanding what happened yesterday, he was so angry that he kicked Li Guangzhong, who was lying on the ground and asking for surrender: "It's not good to fight, it's not good to govern the country, it's so shoddy to play tricks, and the meat that enters your mouth can be bitten off!" Wait for the Goryeo barbarians, almost like a mallet! ”
Li Guangzhong is a glimmer of opportunity left by Ortai to Agui, Nian Qianyao raised troops to make trouble, and the two armies forced Shengjing, and Ortai aimed at North Korea. Gui didn't know how Ortai worked, but he had a rough guess.
Although Li Guangzuo relied on Nian Qianyao's support and usurped the throne as the king of Joseon, he always wanted to get rid of Nian Qianyao's control.
Yinghua supports South Korea and has been fighting with North Korea for many years, and it can be seen that he wants to divide North Korea and South Korea, and it is impossible for Lee Kwang-sa to hug Yinghua's thigh. And the Qing Dynasty, although the loss of the Guannei is irreversible, but in the eyes of most people, Yinghua can let the Qing Dynasty go to the country, but it is unlikely that the Manchus will be exterminated, and the possibility of the Manchus occupying Liaodong is very great.
Therefore, the Manchurian is the thigh that Li Guangzuo can still hold, and in this context, there is a possibility that Ortai can reach some private agreement with Li Guangzuo.
But no matter how powerful Ortai is, if the Manchu people are really water dogs, there is no possibility of fulfilling the agreement. Li Guangzhong followed Nian Bin to the north, and he should have received Li Guangzuo's two-sided secret order.
Now Ah Gui showed the strength of the Manchurians in Caohe Fort, and the Koreans were still as weak as lambs in front of the Manchus.
It's just that, just like Ah Gui scolded angrily, the level of the Goryeo barbarians was so poor that Nian Bin, who had already arrived at Tongyuan Fort, escaped! Ah Gui was full of thoughts about solving Nian Bin, and the Yan army in Sarhu City was devastated, and he could receive all the credit.
Now it's good...... Damn Goryeo mallet!
