Chapter 915: The Fiercest Battle (1)

Sony's secret fold was sent to Shenyang, after Huang Taiji saw it, his face changed dramatically, his body trembled, and he couldn't speak for a long time, he probably didn't expect that this brother, who had not been treated by him, would actually make such a move at a critical moment, not only did not act in accordance with the requirements of his holy decree, but also dragged the army of more than 100,000 into danger.

Huang Taiji can't do anything about it, judging from the time, he knows very well that the battle to attack Jinzhou City has been fully rolled out, and the Zheng family army led by Zheng Xunrui is also about to arrive in Ningyuan City.

The 100,000 army led by Dolgon is not far from Shenyang, and Huang Taiji once thought about giving an order to let Dolgon lead the army directly to Liaodong to participate in the fight, but after thinking about it again, he gave up this plan and made Liaodong a decisive place for the Eight Banners Army and the Zheng Army.

The only way is to make Abatai come to his senses and hurriedly lead the army under his command to evacuate Liaodong, don't think about any resistance at this moment, and be able to evacuate safely, even if it is the greatest success.

Huang Taiji's tone was the most eye-catching edict sent to Ningyuan City in Liaodong, and then he was waiting for news in Shenyang.

The outside of Jinzhou has become a bloody place.

Countless corpses were piled up here, and in the middle of summer, these corpses were piled up for too long, which would inevitably cause a plague, but Tan Tai, Zu Zerun, Liu Zhiyuan, Shi Tingzhu, Bayan, Wu Shoujin and others, who commanded the battle, also fell into a state of madness.

The only one who seemed calmer was Geng Zhongming.

The task of attacking the day was mainly undertaken by the Eight Banners of Khan.

Part of the day and night offensive. No matter how many casualties there were, the purpose of the Eight Banners Army was to conquer Jinzhou City.

Tan Tai ordered the army to attack simultaneously from the four gates of Jinzhou City, and the army he commanded this time had 50,000 people, except for the 10,000 reserves on standby by his side, the remaining 40,000 people were all connected to the attack.

Two days passed, with heavy casualties. However, Tan Tai still did not have the slightest intention of postponing the attack, until Geng Zhongming reminded him that the corpses of the sergeants must be collected, otherwise the plague will spread and the army will quickly lose its combat effectiveness.

The Eight Banners Army gathered the corpses outside the city, and the Zheng family army would not attack. This is a routine, and Zheng Jiajun should also take advantage of this time to make adjustments.

Zheng Jinhong, Yang He and others were not easy at all.

The losses of the front army stationed in the city are also very large, after two days of fighting, more than 2,000 people were killed, and the wounded did not have time to count for the time being, and the Eight Banners Army attacked day and night, so that many soldiers had no time to rest, and could only grit their teeth and fight hard. Tan Tai ordered the Eight Banners Army to attack from the direction of the four city gates, and also forced Zheng Jinhong to disperse his forces to garrison.

Artillery could not play a decisive role at this time. This is also because it is impossible to place too much artillery on the city wall, after conquering the city of Jinzhou, Zheng Jinhong decisively issued an order to transport all the artillery to the city, at this time the artillery battalion is impossible to stay outside the city, on the one hand, it can not resist the crazy attack of the Eight Banners Army. On the other hand, artillery must not fall into the hands of the Eighth Banner Army.

The battle to defend the city of Jinzhou relied more on Mauser guns, bows and arrows, bows and crossbows, and so on.

Zheng Jiajun carried enough bows and arrows, but not many crossbows.

However, the Eight Banners Army has a large number of bows and crossbows, and when attacking the city, the deterrent effect of the bows and crossbows is huge. Most of the casualties of the Zheng family army sergeants fell under the fire of the bow and crossbow.

Zheng Jinhong is not worried that the Eight Banners Army will be able to break through the city of Jinzhou, from the current situation, including the total number of troops of the Eight Banners Army attacking the city, if they want to capture the city of Jinzhou, this cannot be done, Zheng Jinhong is really worried that the city of Jinzhou is besieged, and Abatai will take the opportunity to lead more soldiers of the Eight Banners Army to evacuate around the city of Jinzhou.

Therefore, Zheng Jinhong must always pay attention to the movements of the Eight Banners Army, and when necessary, the soldiers in the city must be killed to prevent the withdrawal of the Eight Banners Army, so the losses of the front army will definitely be heavy, but no matter what, it is necessary to prevent the withdrawal of the Eight Banners Army, the emperor's will is very clear, at all costs.

Zheng Jinhong's discussions with Yang He, Wang Xiaoer, Ma Xianglin and others are also going on all the time.

The current situation is not abnormal for the time being, for two consecutive days, the Eight Banners Army has been attacking frantically, and there is no sign of evacuation, but changes may occur at any time, and we must not take it lightly.

Huang Taiji's will arrived at Ningyuan City.

At this moment, the information that Abatai obtained, the main force of the Zheng family army led by Zheng Xunrui, was only about a day's journey away from Ningyuan City, and the battle situation had entered the most critical moment.

Abatai didn't expect the Zheng family's army to march so fast, Tan Tai led the Eight Banners Army to attack the city of Jinzhou for two days and two nights, without making any breakthrough.

Huang Taiji's will brought Abatai to his senses, and he found himself in a very dangerous situation.

In front is the main force of the Zheng family army led by Zheng Xunrui, and it is about to attack the city of Ningyuan, and the rear is the city of Jinzhou firmly guarded by Zheng Jiajun.

There is no need to guess, Abatai also knows that the reason why Huang Taiji understands the battle situation in Liaodong is the result of Sony's secret performance, and Sony is Huang Taiji's personal guard after all.

At this time, Abatai did not dare to hesitate, he must lead the army under his command to completely evacuate Liaodong.

Fortunately, the Eight Banners Army led by Tan Tai was frantically attacking Jinzhou City, and the Zheng Family Army in Jinzhou City was tired of defense and could not cope with the Eight Banners Army that was about to withdraw on a large scale.

Abatai issued two orders, the first order was to ask Tan Tai to increase the attack on Jinzhou City, never stop, and must make the Zheng family army in Jinzhou City tired to deal with, and the second order was to evacuate quickly from the Eight Banners Army stationed in Ningyuan and the surrounding areas of Ningyuan, each carrying seven days' food, followed by carrying weapons, and the rest of the superfluous things were not brought.

After the two orders were issued, Abatai acted quickly, he left a thousand sergeants to garrison Ningyuan City, and these thousand sergeants were responsible for blocking the upcoming Zheng family army, although it was impossible to block it for a long time, but it was possible to buy some time is some time.

The army began to withdraw from Ningyuan City during the night and quickly headed in the direction of Jinzhou.

Hong Chengchou was left behind by Abatai and became one of the 1,000 sergeants.

Abatai didn't want to evacuate with Hong Chengchou, and he also knew that the 1,000 soldiers left behind basically had no way to live.

Leaving Hong Chengchou is the result of Abatai's careful thinking, Hong Chengchou was originally a Han Chinese, and he was forced to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, such a person is not trustworthy, and the Manchurians are looked down upon, and leaving Hong Chengchou to garrison Ningyuan City, Abatai can still shirk part of the responsibility, when necessary, he can say that Hong Chengchou betrayed the Qing Dynasty and surrendered to the Zheng army, which led to the rapid capture of Ningyuan City by the Zheng army.

This is a very clumsy arrangement and stratagem.

Hong Chengchou had no way out, he could only accept it.

After Abatai led the army to evacuate Ningyuan City, Hong Chengchou felt a brief relief.

Since the surrender of the Great Qing Kingdom, Hong Chengchou has never felt so relaxed, without too much pressure, although the mentality is still hopeless and there is no hope.

Hong Chengchou knew that he was dead, and what kind of death he chose was just a matter of an eye.

Continue to work hard for the Qing Dynasty, desperately fight with the Zheng family's army, Hong Chengchou will not do such a thing, in fact, after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he Hong Chengchou has no personality and dignity, before he was the prince of the Ming Dynasty, the secretary of the military department, and the governor of Jiliao, what kind of scenery should it be, and many times the momentum even exceeds Zheng Xunrui.

One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, and there is no regret medicine in this world.

Today's Hong Chengchou still has one more thing to do, that is, to completely disintegrate the military heart of the thousand soldiers guarding the city of Ningyuan.

In fact, without Hong Chengchou making too much effort, these sergeants were generally depressed, and the moment Abbatey led the army to withdraw, these sergeants fell into despair.

Leading these sergeants was a third-class Jialazhangjing of the Eight Banners of Khan.

After thinking carefully, Hong Chengchou found this third-class Lazhangjing.

His words were very clear, suggesting that this third-class Lazhangjing surrender the Zheng family army that was about to arrive, do not make unnecessary resistance, if he is not willing to surrender, then lead the army to quickly evacuate, maybe there is a chance to escape from Liaodong and return to Guangning or Shenyang, after all, the attention of the Zheng family army is on Abatai's body, and he will not notice this thousand people.

This third-class Lazhangjing listened to Hong Chengchou's advice, he decided to evacuate Ningyuan City, not to die in vain, surrendering to the Zheng family army is not the best choice, who knows if the Zheng family army will kill prisoners.

Third-class Lazhangjing suggested that Hong Chengchou evacuate with him, but Hong Chengchou refused.

Hong Chengchou saw that the third-class Lazhangjing agreed to evacuate Ningyuan City, and a rare smile appeared on his face, and he turned around and left.

A quarter of an hour later, the third-class Lazhangjing received a report that Hong Chengchou had hanged himself in his room.

In fact, Hong Chengchou really surrendered to the Zheng family's army, and he would not necessarily be executed, but Hong Chengchou, who had already surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, never had the face to return to Daming, and chose to hang himself, which was probably the best ending He could try his best to do a little bit before he died, and maybe he was a lot more relieved on the Huangquan Road.

The third-class Lazhangjing quickly led the sergeants to evacuate Ningyuan City, of course, before evacuating, he did not forget to kill several of the spies that Abatai left in the army. (To be continued.) )
