On the fourth day of the second month of the fifth year of Ruiyuan, when it was ugly.

A battle to determine the fate of the Qing Dynasty, in the far north of Anle Prefecture kicked off, at this moment in Shenyang, is still in the silence, responsible for the garrison of Anle Prefecture of the Qing Dynasty Prince Dai Shan, just arrived in Fushun, is resting in the city, Prince Su Haoge is the starry night rushed to Haizhou, trying to evacuate the main force stationed in Haizhou, Anshan and Haizhou blue flag and white flag.

The time for the attack has come.

He Renlong, the general of the Zheng family's army, raised the spear in his hand, and the direction of the spear pointed to Anlezhou City in front of him.

All the soldiers behind him were ready, and with the change in the direction of the spear, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves appeared instantly, and the sound of horses' hooves was dull and shocking.

The whistling bow and crossbow shot in the direction of the city gate, and the leading He Renlong charged at the front.

There were only four soldiers stationed outside the city gate, and before they could even make any sound, they were shot into hedgehogs by their crossbows, and the sergeant above the city gate was awakened and let out an almost desperate exclamation, but with the sound of gunfire, the sergeant instantly lost his voice and fell from the top of the city wall.

The logs began to pound against the gates, and a loud noise spread far away.

Even He Renlong felt strange, he thought that the attack would encounter strong resistance, who knew that the soldiers had already charged in front of the city gate, and still did not hear much movement, several patrolling sergeants on the city wall had already been killed by Mauser guns, and at this moment the soldiers had already begun to hit the city gate with logs.

There was finally a commotion in the city, and some sergeants appeared on the city wall, and bows and arrows began to fire downward, but the sergeants of the Eight Banners who came up were all hit by Mauser guns without exception.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the gates were slammed open.

He Renlong led many soldiers. Rush into the city gates.

Behind them, the sound of horses' hooves appeared more intensively, and it was Zheng Jinhong who led the army to start the charge.

The city was almost completely dark, and there was not the slightest light to be seen, except in a few places where there was a bright light, and there was a cacophony of sounds. There was almost no need to make too much judgment and search, and He Renlong, who was the first to rush into the state city, made a judgment that the place where the light appeared was where the Eight Banners Army was stationed.

He Renlong only arranged for a small number of personnel to be stationed on the main street that could be seen for two days, and the rest of the people all rushed towards the place where the light appeared.

Before rushing to the place where the light appeared, He Renlong saw the oncoming panicked Eight Banners sergeant, the spear in his hand instantly began to fly, and before the previous few Eight Banner Army sergeants could react, they died under He Renlong's spear.

The fight began instantly. The oncoming soldiers of the Eight Banners Army couldn't dodge at all, even if they turned around and fled, but the swift bow and crossbow instantly pierced their bodies......

The battle was completely over at the end of the day, and the scene of fierce fighting did not appear at all, and the person in charge of garrisoning Anle Prefecture was a red flag Jialazhangjing, and it was Jialazhangjing, who was not welcomed. Otherwise, it would not be stationed in the extremely poor Anle Prefecture, and it would not be able to get any oil and water from being stationed here. The more than 1,000 sergeants under his command are also non-commissioned officers with weak combat effectiveness.

It's no wonder that this Jia Lazhangjing, after all, the banner owner Dai Shan doesn't care about this place in Anle Prefecture at all, if it weren't for Dolgon's clear request, Dai Shan wouldn't even send a sergeant to be stationed in this place in Anle Prefecture, Dai Shan's idea is to let the elite of the Red Banner guard Shenyang. Therefore, all the main forces were deployed in Fushun and Salhu and other places.

In this way, the fight became similar to the slaughter, and in the face of the elite cavalry led by He Renlong, most of the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army chose to turn around and flee, but unfortunately Anlezhou City was too small, and they had no place to escape. After the soldiers led by He Renlong rushed all the way, some of the soldiers with the full eight banners thought that they could rush out of the city and escape, but they did not expect that there would be a larger cavalry behind.

Countless torches lit up most of the small Anlezhou City, and some of the Eight Banner Army sergeants who had lost their heart of resistance chose to surrender, which was probably their only choice.

Zheng Jinhong's order is very clear, that is, all sergeants who put down their weapons and surrender cannot be killed, this is the military regulations of the Zheng family army in the past, and they must not be violated.

Fortunately, the battle against Anlezhou City was too easy, and many soldiers did not really show it at all, that is, they were far from the situation of killing red eyes, so they would hardly attack the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army who surrendered on their knees.

After the battle, Zheng Jinhong and He Renlong were still energetic, and they inspected the entire state city.

Zheng Jinhong and He Renlong did not expect that Anle Prefecture, which was once ruled by the Ming Dynasty, would be so depressed, there were few households in the city, and the population was even more pitiful, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army were stationed on the right side of the state government, which can be regarded as the most lively place in Anle Prefecture, that is, the place where the light appeared, many soldiers who attacked the city, without too much fighting, eliminated more than 1,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners Army, and in the process of fighting, almost no one came out to see the excitement, nor did they see the appearance of the lights.

When the sky was slightly bright, there were still not many people to be seen, and it seemed that this place had become a completely forgotten city.

It was so easy to occupy Anlezhou City, Zheng Jinhong and He Renlong were happy, and there were not many casualties among the 20,000 soldiers, which was even more joyful.

However, Zheng Jinhong is still calm, since there are not many Eight Banners Army stationed in Anle Prefecture, then Tieling, Fushun and Salhu and other places are not clear, maybe the army led by Liu Zeqing will encounter strong resistance.

Zheng Jinhong quickly drafted the document and ordered the herald to travel day and night, and must send the document to Hong Xintao and Liu Zeqing as soon as possible, and at the same time he ordered the scouts to quickly report the news of the capture of Anle Prefecture to the emperor.

Until this time, Zheng Jinhong did not particularly understand the significance of the army's occupation of Anle Prefecture, he just successfully completed the task of fighting in accordance with the emperor's requirements.

After dawn, Zheng Jinhong commanded the soldiers to start cleaning up the battlefield, after the battle of Liaodong and the battle of Fengzhen, Zheng Jinhong knew that the place that blocked the withdrawal of the Eight Banners Army was not only Anlezhou City, but also the official roads around Anlezhou City.

The depression of Anlezhou City did not expect Zheng Jinhong, but his main attention was still outside Anlezhou City.

Before noon, the scouts came to report on the reconnaissance on the outskirts of Anlezhou City, and drew a brief map.

After reading the brief map drawn by the scout and listening to the scout's detailed report, Zheng Xunrui found that the matter was far more serious than he imagined, that is, the periphery of Anle Prefecture was extended in all directions, and it was basically a plain area, and there were no peaks in sight, although many places were desolate and almost uninhabited, but these places were very conducive to the passage of the army.

At this time, Zheng Jinhong finally understood why the 20,000 troops rushed to Anle Prefecture day and night, but their whereabouts were not exposed, it turned out that these places were extremely desolate.

When Huang Taiji founded the Great Qing Kingdom, most of the Manchus moved to the vicinity of Shenyang, and as the Great Qing Kingdom occupied most of the eastern and southern Liaodong places, the Manchus gradually moved to these places, making the north more and more desolate.

This also means that even if the 100,000 troops are stationed around Anle Prefecture, they may not be able to completely resist the withdrawal of the Eight Banners Army, unless the army completely controls Anle Prefecture and Tieling, and the two places are strictly guarded and monitored at any time, so that it is possible to truly defend against the large-scale withdrawal of the Eight Banners Army.

In Zheng Jinhong's view, the best way is not to block, but to take the initiative to attack and wipe out the Eight Banners Army around Shenyang, so that the scattered fleeing Eight Banners Army can be easily dealt with.

The matter of cleaning up the battlefield in the city was completely over, and after listening to the report of the scout, Zheng Jinhong took He Renlong and others out of the state city to check the terrain around, and he even only brought a part of his own soldiers, since there were not many soldiers of the Eight Banners Army in the state city, let alone the vicinity of Anle Zhou City.

In fact, when marching all the way, Zheng Jinhong paid attention to the surrounding terrain, he found that here is still different from Liaodong, there are some lofty mountains and mountains in Liaodong, such as Tashan, Xingshan and Songshan, etc., although the mountains are not very big, but they are also barriers, but there are no mountains around Anlezhou, and even the hills are very rare.

Zheng Jinhong went all the way to the north, galloping for nearly ten miles, but still did not see the peak.

When he returned to Anle Zhou City, Zheng Jinhong already had a plan in his heart.

"General He, you lead 5,000 soldiers, set off tomorrow, to occupy the north of Zhenbei Pass, after occupying Zhenbei Pass, lead the soldiers to garrison there, and at the same time draw the detailed terrain of Zhenbei Pass, quickly report, the emperor once said, the place north of Shenyang, almost all of them are a horse Pingchuan, only the terrain of Zhenbei Pass is more precipitous, if you hold Zhenbei Pass, you can curb the withdrawal of the Manchu Eight Banners to the north."

Speaking of this, Zheng Jinhong paused slightly.

"The emperor's deployment has not yet attracted the attention of Dolgon and others, but I think Dolgon will probably understand soon, once he learns that Anle Prefecture and Tieling and other places have all lost, he will definitely attack with all his strength and try to open the passage to the far north, I am not worried that Dolgon will lead the sergeants to attack, I am worried that the Eight Banners Army is familiar with the terrain here, if they take advantage of the dark night to evacuate on a large scale, our blocking will be difficult."

"Holding Zhenbei Pass can prevent the large-scale evacuation of the Eight Banners Army, and the Eight Banners are mainly cavalry, and it is not very likely that they will choose to evacuate around Zhenbei Pass, so I think that holding Zhenbei Pass can really prevent the escape of the Eight Banners Army."
