After analyzing a large amount of information, especially the information about the Great Qing Kingdom left by Adali collected by the Investigation Bureau, Zheng Xunrui finally made up his mind, he would once again adopt the tactics of closing the door and beating the dog, so as not to let the Eight Banners Army escape from the scope of Anle Prefecture.

Kuanchengfu is the prosperous place of the Houjin, and it is also the most important place for the Haixi Jurchens, during the Song Dynasty, the predecessors of the Jurchens, the rising Dajin Kingdom took Kuanchengfu as the capital, and later the Yuan Dynasty was established, and the Kuanchengfu was completely destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty, and the entire city was demolished, and even dug three feet into the ground, so that this thousand-year-old city was destroyed, but with the rise of Nurhachi, the Jurchens also gradually rose, Nurhachi integrated the Beishan Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen and Jianzhou Jurchen, and Huang Taiji changed the Jurchen to Manchuria.

By this time, the city had long since been rebuilt and became a large castle in a short period of time.

Continue to the north of Shangjing, is the birthplace of the Jurchens, although Shangjing can not be compared with Shenyang and Kuanchengfu, but it is also a place where Manchu activities are frequent, there are almost no Han people here, most of them are Manchus and Mongols.

Once the Manchu Eight Banners and Manchu nobles evacuate to Kuancheng Mansion or Shangjing, it will be like a fish returning to the sea, which will increase the difficulty of extermination, and the area from Kuancheng Mansion to Shangjing will not be peaceful from now on.

As for the Eight Banners Army and the Manchu nobles who continued to retreat northward and arrived at Tunhe, Jiahe and Muluhan Mountain, the opportunity to be exterminated was almost gone, and if the Eight Banners Army and the Manchu nobles arrived at the location of the original Beishan Jurchens, their tribes would be formed again, and the Ming court would completely lose the opportunity to exterminate them, and I am afraid that with the passage of time, the Manchu tribes would become a hidden danger for the Ming Dynasty for a long time.

Today's Kuanseongfu. It is Changchun a few hundred years later, and Beijing is Harbin a few hundred years later.

From this point of view, the battle of the imperial army to exterminate the Eight Banners Army and the Manchu nobles could at most continue to Shangjing, and further north was an extremely desolate place, and the supply of the army could not be guaranteed. The Eight Banners Army, especially the Manchurian Eight Banners, was able to use their ability to be familiar with hunting and survive tenaciously.

However, Zheng Xunrui's tactics of closing the door and fighting dogs still depend on whether the army led by Yang He, Wang Xiaoer and Wu Sangui can defeat the second line of defense of the Great Qing Kingdom in the shortest possible time, and completely wipe out the Mengbaqi stationed in the second line of defense.

Break through the second line of defense of the Great Qing Kingdom. Dolgon did not dare to abandon the four flags, and it was impossible for the Manchurian nobles to agree.

In this way, the tactic of closing the door and beating the dog can be fully implemented.

At that time, the battle report from the front had not yet returned, and Zheng Xunrui had already begun to deploy in the Chinese military tent.

"During the battle of Liaodong, the imperial army successfully adopted the tactics of encirclement, firmly confined the Eight Banners Army of more than 100,000 to the area from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou, and finally annihilated the Eight Banners Army on the outskirts of Jinzhou. This battle can be described as the most worthy tactic to summarize, this time 200,000 troops set out. I didn't think of using this tactic again, but I thought about it for a long time last night, and I felt that in order to completely exterminate the Eight Banners Army and eliminate the Manchurian noble group, I still had to adopt the tactics of closing the door and beating the dogs. ”

Zheng Xunrui's hand pointed to Fushun, Salhu, Tieling, Kaiyuan, Zhenbeiguan and Anle Prefecture.

"Dolgon is a long-term expedition. The purpose of arranging for the Zhenghong Banner under Dai Shan's command to be stationed in the area from Anle Prefecture to Fushun is to ensure that the Eighth Banner Army can evacuate from here when it is forced to do so, as long as the Eighth Banner Army can be evacuated smoothly. They can evacuate all the way to Kuanchengfu and Shangjing, and if necessary, even evacuate to the place under the jurisdiction of the former Beishan Jurchen, north of Shangjing, extremely desolate, and some places are cold all year round, if the army goes to these places to conquer, the supply cannot be guaranteed at all. ”

"I am sure that in Dolgon's heart, there are such thoughts, otherwise he would not have arranged for Daishan to be stationed in the area from Anle Prefecture to Fushun."

"I decided to divide the army into two routes, one way with an army of 100,000, bypassing Shenyang, Fushun, Salhu, Tieling and Kaiyuan, etc., and directly penetrating Anle Prefecture, this way the army must not love to fight, the goal is Anle Prefecture, once Anle Prefecture is taken, it will hold here to the death, and not allow a single soldier of the Eight Banners Army to withdraw from here to Kuancheng Mansion."

"The other 100,000 troops marched according to the original deployment, gradually breaking through the five lines of defense set up by Dolgon, and compressing the scope of activities of the Eight Banners Army to the greatest extent."

"The 30,000 troops in southern Liaoning, under the command of Ma Xianglin, should launch an attack on Gaizhou and other places, as for the sailors led by Ding Baokun, according to my prediction, they can also occupy Lianyuan Island in mid-February and go ashore from the direction of Niangniang Palace, and the attack launched by these two armies will completely disrupt Dolgon's deployment."

"The most important thing is whether the 50,000 army led by Yang He, Wang Xiaoer and Wu Sangui can successfully overcome the second line of defense and completely defeat and exterminate the Mengbaqi.

"There are too many uncertainties in the tactical arrangement of closing the door and fighting dogs, and the battle will be more fierce and more cruel, the battle of Liaodong, the imperial army has won a huge victory, but the price to pay is also heavy, so when it comes to deciding whether to implement the tactics of closing the door and fighting dogs, I am very hesitant."

"For the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty, I feel that there are some costs that need to be paid, if I let go of the Manchu nobles and the Manchu Eight Banners, although the Qing Dynasty perished, but the worries and crises of the imperial court will always exist, so I am determined to implement the tactics of closing the door and beating the dog."

"The 100,000 troops going to Anle Prefecture are commanded by Deputy Marshal Zheng Jinhong, and serve as the commander of the army, with Hong Xintao and Liu Zeqing as deputy commanders, and He Renlong, Huang Degong, Zuo Liangyu and others as commanders, and start preparations from today, and set off on the third day of February at the latest."

"If the second line of defense deployed by Dolgon is not taken in time, the time for the departure of the 100,000 army needs to be advanced, and the army will also face greater pressure, no less than the original battle of Liaodong."

"I need to remind you that this battle is a battle of life and death, and Dolgon, Daishan, Zilharang, Hauge and others all understand that if they lose, they will lose everything, including their own lives, so they will fight hard, and they will burst out with super fighting spirit, you must have a clear understanding of this."

"The battle of the Manchurian Eight Banners is the strongest, the battle of Fengzhen, Zheng Jinhong fully realized that this battle is far more cruel than the battle of Fengzhen, once the battle reaches a critical moment, the Manchu Eight Banners will be desperate, the Manchurian nobles will also be desperate, and even some of the Manchus will be desperate, fighting to that extent, I am also that point of view, as long as the result is the result, do not want the number of casualties." ……

After the deployment was completed, Zheng Xunrui began to anxiously wait for the battle report ahead, he had never been so nervous.

Once the 50,000-strong army occupies here, it is equivalent to blocking Liaoyang, Anshan, Haizhou, Gaizhou and Yaozhou, on the one hand, it completely involves the outskirts of Shenyang guarded by the Eight Banners with the Blue Flag and the Red Flag, and on the other hand, it chokes the Anshan, Haizhou, Gaizhou and Yaozhou places guarded by the Eight Banners and the White Flag. Haoge, Azig and others led the army to retreat to Shenyang, and they also had to take care of the 50,000 army led by Yang He.

When the 100,000-strong army led by Zheng Jinhong completely occupied Anle Prefecture, Dolgon's arrangement would not have much effect, and the Eight Banners Army and the Manchu nobles would be completely surrounded in a large area from Anle Prefecture to Haizhou.

The 200,000 army led by Zheng Xunrui himself, the 30,000 army in southern Liaoning, and the 20,000 soldiers of the sailor division, a total of 200,000 troops, launched attacks from different directions, and even if Dolgon was an immortal, he could not reverse the fate of destruction.

However, if the 50,000 troops led by Yang He, Wang Xiaoer and Wu Sangui could not break the second line of defense in time, so that Dolgon aroused alarm and quickly mobilized a large army to consolidate the second line of defense, and at the same time ruthlessly demanded that the Manchu Eight Banners in Liaoyang, Anshan, Haizhou and other places quickly withdraw in the direction of Shenyang, then the situation would be somewhat complicated.

The Eight Banners Army is familiar with the road, and there are sergeants with red flags stationed in Anlezhou and other places, and the 100,000 troops led by Zheng Jinhong may not be able to take Anlezhou in front.

Every move on the battlefield has a far-reaching impact, especially the temporary changes that affect the whole body.

When the time slowly came, Zheng Xunrui's heart began to sink slowly, the combat effectiveness of Mengbaqi is good, and today's Mengbaqi, mainly based on the Horqin tribe of the grassland, is also one of the most courageous tribes in the grassland, could it be said that the attack of Yang He and others has suffered a setback, or that Dolgon has already prepared and increased the deployment of the second line of defense.

When the herald of the fast horse appeared in the Chinese military tent with a happy face, Zheng Xunrui's heart quickly relaxed, and from the look of the herald, he was able to make a judgment, and it seemed that he must have won completely.

Sure enough, the herald reported that the 50,000 army led by Yang He launched an attack from three o'clock in the morning, and Meng Baqi was unusually tenacious, swearing not to retreat, and never surrendering, which annoyed Yang He here, and ordered the army to kill with all its might, leaving no one alive.

The fierce battle lasted until the next moment, and the process of fighting lasted for nearly six hours, and the Mongolian cavalry was almost completely annihilated, and the Mongolian Eight Banners withdrew from the stage of history and disappeared completely.

When the heralds set out from their positions to report their reports, the battle was not completely over.

Zheng Xunrui shook his head when he heard this, saying that Yang He had made great contributions, but he couldn't get a reward, and Yang He didn't realize the importance of this battle at all, and when the fight began, he fell into the fight again. (To be continued.) )
