Chapter 992: Heaven and Hell
(I'm about to finish the book, and I look forward to the continued support of the new book, thank you.) )
The 100,000 army led by Zheng Jinhong successfully occupied Anlezhou City, Zhenbeiguan and Tieling, and the news was reported to Zheng Xunrui as quickly as possible, and Zheng Xunrui received the report on the sixth day of February.
Zheng Jinhong sent scouts to send three documents as quickly as possible, the first document was Zheng Jinhong and Hong Xintao and Liu Zeqing and others to discuss, the troops were divided into two ways to attack Anlezhou City, personally led 20,000 troops, and successfully took the documents of Anlezhou City, the second document was Zheng Jinhong made further arrangements, ordering He Renlong to lead 5,000 soldiers to occupy Zhenbei Pass, and at the same time Liu Zeqing led 50,000 troops to successfully occupy Tieling City, the third document is much more detailed, It includes Zheng Jinhong's analysis of the terrain from Zhenbei Pass to Tieling, as well as the report that the 100,000 army was mainly distributed between Anle Prefecture and Tieling, blocking all the main roads, and setting up a solid defensive line at Zhenbei Pass to prevent all the passages for the Eight Banners Army to withdraw to the north.
After receiving these three documents from Zheng Jinhong, Zheng Xunrui finally couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.
From this time on, the battle to exterminate the Eight Banners Army and destroy the Great Qing Kingdom has entered a new stage, and all the roads for the Eight Banners Army to evacuate have been blocked, and the only way to fight to the death is to fight to the death, but no matter what aspect it is, the Eight Banners Army is at an absolute disadvantage.
The battle to recover Anlezhou City, Tieling City and Zhenbei Pass, the number of the Eight Banners Army exterminated was not large, and the battle report showed that there were less than 2,000 people in total, which shows that Dai Shan did not attach any importance to garrisoning these places, and did not send heavy troops, which also made the battle go unusually smoothly, and the casualties of the imperial army were not large, and what was even more gratifying was that Zheng Jinhong was able to do so according to the situation of the battle. Combined with the actual situation in Anle Prefecture, Tieling and Zhenbei Pass, the best arrangements were made to prevent the Eighth Banner Army from withdrawing north.
The tactical arrangement of closing the door and beating the dog was completely successful, and its smoothness exceeded Zheng Xunrui's expectations.
Zheng Xunrui's strategic foresight was basically unaware of the Manchurian nobles. This may be because of the sudden death of Huang Taiji, the Manchu nobles of the Great Qing Kingdom are still in the power game, and they have not yet made a detailed analysis and prediction of the sudden Ming Dynasty army.
Dai Shan is the first prince of the Qing Dynasty, and he has also experienced a hundred battles, and he originally accepted the task of guarding the cities around Anle Prefecture to Fushun, but he did not expect that he would deploy the main forces in Fushun and Salhu, and did not attach great importance to Anle Zhou City and Tieling. Even when the battle was at a critical moment, he went to Shenyang without authorization.
The combination of various reasons made Zheng Xunrui's deployment smoothly realized.
At this time, Zheng Xunrui's heart was completely settled, he was not in a hurry, since he had besieged all the Eight Banners in Liaodong and Liaonan, as well as the surroundings of Shenyang, the next step was to attack with the strongest force. Step by step, the Eight Banners Army was completely wiped out, and the Manchurian noble group was eliminated. The Qing Dynasty was completely destroyed.
Zheng Xunrui knew very well that the Eight Banners Army, which was in a desperate situation, would definitely be in a dying struggle, and the tactics that Dolgon was about to adopt would be known without too much analysis, that is, to concentrate the Eight Banners Army around Shenyang. With the tall and sturdy city of Shenyang, it is firmly defended.
Dolgon was absolutely unwilling to come to this point, judging from all the previous arrangements, Dolgon's real idea was to preserve the strength of the Eight Banners Army and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.
The reality is that it has come to this point. Dorgon was no longer in a position to make any other deployments.
The dying and struggling Eight Banners Army will definitely burst out with great fighting spirit at a certain time, this time should be when the imperial army attacks the city of Shenyang, the next attack of the imperial army does not need to be particularly anxious, and gradually consumes the strength of the Eight Banners Army, and uses its own strong strength to consume the fighting spirit of the Eight Banners Army, so as to achieve the goal of finally completely destroying the Eight Banners Army.
The grain and grass of the imperial army is sufficient, even if it lasts for more than a year, there is no problem, on the other hand, the Eight Banners Army, it is impossible to hold on for so long, the Great Qing Dynasty has long said that the situation of internal and external difficulties, Dolgon after the death of Huang Taiji, it is true that he controls almost all the power of the Great Qing Dynasty, but Dolgon has no time to solve the immediate difficulties, not to mention the rest, there are huge difficulties in the grain and grass reserves of the Eight Banners Army.
Of course, Zheng Xunrui would not make Dolgon comfortable, and his eyes were first aimed at Haizhou and Liaoyang.
Prince Su Haoge is organizing the evacuation of the army with the blue flag and the white flag stationed here, and the Ming Dynasty army stationed at the confluence of the Hunhe River and the Taizi River, as well as the 30,000 troops in southern Liaoning led by Ma Xianglin, who is attacking Yaozhou, do not dare to evacuate in the direction of Shenyang easily, for fear of encountering a flank attack from the front and rear on the way to evacuate, so there is no practical action, and the sergeant with the red flag led by Azig stationed in the south of Shenyang does not dare to attack easily, so as not to encounter the same encirclement.
After the naval division led by Ding Baokun occupied Niangniang Palace, the army had already begun to land and advance in the direction of Haizhou, preparing to cooperate with the army led by Ma Xianglin to take Haizhou and Liaoyang.
Zheng Xunrui quickly issued an order to Ma Xianglin and Ding Baokun, ordering Ma Xianglin to temporarily stop attacking the city of Yaozhou, and the army went straight to Liaoyang to prevent Haoge's evacuation in the Liaoyang area, and ordered the sailors led by Ding Baokun to also rush to the Liaoyang area to make peace with the army led by Ma Xianglin.
After the two armies reconciled, with a total strength of nearly 50,000 men, they had to build a steel defense line between Liaoyang and Anshan, so that Haoge would have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground.
This army was under the unified command of Governor Yang He.
Just when Zheng Xunrui gave the order, Yang He had already headed in the direction of Haizhou, and he would make peace with the army led by Ma Xianglin between Yaozhou and Haizhou.
Dolgon was alone in the chamber, no one dared to disturb him, during which a personal soldier knocked on the door to ask about eating, but was unceremoniously beaten by the angry Dolgon more than ten times, and still lying on the bed humming.
Dorgon has fallen into hell.
When the documents for the fall of Anlezhou, Zhenbeiguan and Tieling arrived, Dolgon had a feeling of an avalanche, and the cold and fear surrounded him to the bone, and he worked hard to unify the thoughts of the Manchu nobles, and quickly made relevant arrangements, thinking that if necessary, abandon Shenyang, the capital of the Great Qing Kingdom, preserve the strength of the Eight Banners Army, and retreat to the north to wait for the opportunity to make a comeback, but all this with the fall of Zhenbeiguan, Anlezhou and Tieling, all turned into a dream dancing in the sky.
Emperor Zheng Xunrui of the Ming Dynasty was too powerful, he accurately calculated everything, and did not give him any chance for Dolgon and the Great Qing Kingdom at all.
At this time, Dolgon felt the pain of Huang Taiji more truly.
With an incredibly strong and invincible opponent in front of you, no matter what kind of struggle you make, it won't help.
Dolgon is really unwilling, he has just taken control of the power of the Qing Kingdom, and has not yet fully experienced the joy of holding power, but he has been miserable by one blow after another, and now he has reached a state of despair and no hope.
The map on the table was a mess, and there were paperwork scattered on the floor, all of which were the consequences of Dorgon's angry temper, but now the tantrum had no effect.
In despair, Dorgon even thought of giving up, no matter what the Eight Banners did.
Dolgon had already arranged for Dai Shan's Zhenghongqi to be stationed in Anlezhou and other places, but he didn't expect Dolgon to deploy the main force of Zhenghongqi in Fushun and Salhu, and also wanted to rush to Shenyang, Dolgon also arranged for Haoge to quickly lead the Zhenglan Banner and the white flag to assemble in the direction of Shenyang, and decisively gave up Gaizhou, Yaozhou, Haizhou Anshan and other places, and could garrison Liaoyang.
The city of Anlezhou, Zhenbeiguan and Tieling were all occupied by the Ming army, and the plan of the Eight Banners Army to withdraw to the north was not possible.
What's worse is that Haoge himself went directly to Haizhou, and the main force of the Zhenglan Banner under his command is in Haizhou, so he is bent on evacuating the Zhenglan Banner to Liaoyang, how can the Ming army let go of such an opportunity.
Once Hauge is isolated in Anshan and Haizhou and other places, Dolgon will not be able to rescue, unless Hauge leads the army to evacuate to Liaoyang with his own ability, then there is still a certain chance.
There is only one way in front of Dolgon, and that is to defend Shenyang and the capital of the Qing Dynasty.
Whether it is Liaoyang, Fushun and Salhu and other places, they cannot be deployed to disperse troops, and the result is that they will be broken by the Ming army and gradually eliminated, and by the time the Ming army completely surrounds Shenyang, the Eight Banners Army has no ability to resist fighting.
As it was getting dark, Dorgon finally mustered himself up and began to give orders.
Dai Shan's Zhenghongqi, abandon Fushun and Salhu and other places, quickly assemble towards Shenyang, be sure to arrive in Shenyang within two days, Haoge led the blue flag and Zhengbai flag, quickly assembled towards Liaoyang, after the assembly is completed, leave a small number of troops to garrison Liaoyang, the rest are all assembled in the direction of Shenyang, Zierharang and Azig led the blue flag and red flag, approaching the city of Shenyang, camping about five miles away from the city of Shenyang, waiting for the next order.
The grain and grass from Liaoyang, Anshan, Haizhou, Fushun and Salhu were all transported to Shenyang at the fastest speed to ensure the sufficiency of grain and grass in Shenyang.
Shenyang began to recruit personnel to maintain the city, repairing all the damaged parts of the city wall, and at the same time widening the width of the moat to ensure that the water of the moat was sufficient.
The sergeants stationed in Shenyang with the yellow flag, the yellow flag and the white flag began to participate in the repair of the city from now on.
After the deployment, Dolgon's face was still bloodless, he knew very well that the Great Qing Kingdom might have no future, but as a Manchurian, he would never easily admit defeat, he would swear to defend the Great Qing Kingdom, even if it was when he was defending Shenyang, he would die with the Ming army, and he would hold on to the end.
