A month's worth of grain and grass seems to be a lot, but the actual situation is already very dangerous.If the Qing army transported it by sea, in four or five days, the grain would be able to reach Lushun, and it would be able to reach Jiulian City within half a month.From this point of view, one month's grain is enough for Hong Chengchou's army.But now, the Ming army's naval division has cut off the route of the Qing army's sea transportation, and if the Qing army wants to obtain food, it must take the western Liaoning corridor by land.In this way, within a month, it was obviously difficult for the grain of the Qing army to be transported to Liaodong.In September, the stars and moon are high in the night sky.Under the cover of night, the Qing troops stationed on the north bank of the Yalu River began to quietly pull out their camp and head west.The food is only enough for one month, in case the food does not arrive by then, the army will collapse immediately, and Hong Chengchou will not be able to sit back and wait for the food to arrive.As a veteran on the battlefield, when encountering problems and solving problems, Hong Chengchou will never sit still, nor will he pin his hopes on letting others save him.In order to be able to obtain grain and grass conveniently, and also to save himself, Hong Chengchou decided to abandon the line of the Yalu River and retreat to Liaozhong."
The main parish can see clearly!
Zhao Zamao has the strength to cross the river, but he does not move, he is waiting for the food in the hall to run out. ”On a small hill, Hong Chengchou was stationed at the top of Ma Mountain, looking at the army that was quietly advancing below the hill, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the main hall retreats to Liaozhong, it will be convenient to obtain supplies, shorten the time for transporting grain, and rely on Shengjing City, which is enough to resist Zhao Zamao's attack!"
”Tang Tong nodded, "Zhongtang is wise, take a step back, our supply line will become shorter, but the supply of the Haikou will be extended, and Shengjing is far away from the coast, the advantage of the Haikou sea transportation is limited, and the initiative of the war will gradually change." ”Hong Chengchou bowed slightly, "In addition, Shengjing and Lushun are each other's horns, if the Ming army invades Lushun, the hall will not be able to attack the Haikou for a long time, and it can outflank its rear road and annihilate the Haikou in Liaodong."
If the Haikou attacks Shengjing, the soldiers of Lushun can also outflank the back road of the Haikou and annihilate the Haikou in the Liaohe Plain!
”Hong Chengchou's face was full of confidence, he was still calm and relaxed in the face of the crisis, and he had the style of an old supervisor, and all the Qing generals were persuaded by him.Hong Chengchou said it easily, but he actually knew in his heart that retreating to Shengjing was actually a scoundrel's move, from Shanhaiguan to Shenyang, there were still 800 miles, and the transport team walked 50 miles a day, and it took half a month, and the grain and grass of the Qing army in the customs were not stored in Shanhaiguan, and the Manchu court wanted to transport grain and grass, I am afraid that the time would be doubled.Of course, he didn't plan to tell his subordinates about this.At this time, Hong Chengchou looked at the night in the sky, and then said to Tang Tong: "Tang Junmen, let's separate here!"
Lushun Hondo is in your hands!
”Tang Tong saluted when he heard this: "Oh, take the order!"
It's just that if the pirates besiege Lushun, after the grain and grass arrive in Shengjing, they will also ask Zhongtang to relieve the siege as soon as possible. ”Hong Chengchou said with a straight face: "This church will give you most of the food, which is enough for Lushun to hold on for a month and a half."
You can rest assured, there are less than 20,000 elite soldiers in the Haikou, and we have nearly 40,000 elites, as long as the food arrives from the Guannei, the main hall will immediately fight the Haikou with you inside and outside!
”At the moment, the Qing army was divided into two groups in the night, and Hong Chengchou led the cavalry of the Eight Banners and a part of the Han Banner, passed through Lianshan Pass, and withdrew to Shengjing.Tang Tong led his subordinate soldiers and horses, and together with the 6,000 Jin troops and 6,000 Yu troops who arrived in Lushun, a total of about 20,000 people, they held the Qing army's military town in Liaodong, and it was also the place where the materials were gathered.At night, on the other side of the Yalu River, in the city of Yizhou, Zhao Ming's line was still lit with candles.At this moment, a group of cavalry suddenly galloped to the front of the line, and the sentry with torches immediately stepped forward to stop it.The cavalry flew off his horse, and Huo Jianyan hurriedly said: "There is an urgent military situation in the general, and I want to report to the commander." ”In the lobby of Xingyuan, Zhao Ming, who was about to go back to rest, sat in the handsome position with a big horse golden knife, and several henchmen and staff sat on both sides.Huo Jianyan hurriedly walked to the middle of the lobby, and said urgently: "Commander Qiqi, the scouts have found that the Qing army on the other side has retreated." ”Zhao Ming glanced at several staff members, they were discussing the matter just now, and a smile appeared on their faces, "It's expected!"
”Just now, Zhao Ming happened to discuss and deduce the development of the war with his staff, and Gu Yanwu put forward his opinion, thinking that Hong Chengchou would definitely run.Zhao Ming asked, "Where did the Qing army retreat?"
”Huo Jianyan said: "Back to the marshal, the Qing army divided into two routes, all the way to Lushun, and all the way to Shengjing. ”Zhao Ming stood up when he heard this, walked to the side of the sand table, and asked, "What do you think?"
”Everyone gathered around, looking at the sand table, Shenyang and Lushun were each other's horns, one was on the seashore and the other was inland.Gu Yanwu said: "Marshal, Shenyang is deep inland, the army needs to climb over the mountains in order to enter the Liaohe Plain, and there is Lushun in the south, threatening the flank of the army. ”Zhao Ming shook his head when he heard this: "It's exactly what I want!"
The order went down, and the army immediately crossed the river and pursued the Qing army. ”At this time, after Dolgon's troops were increased by more than 24,000 people, the main force of the Qing army outside the pass reached 40,000, plus some other garrison troops, there were nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses, far more than the upper limit of supplies outside the pass.The Ming army had 10,000 naval divisions, more than 10,000 land divisions, plus more than 6,000 Japanese soldiers, and more than 70,000 Koreans, and the strength of the coalition army was about 100,000 troops.Shortly after the Qing army withdrew, the allied soldiers quickly crossed the Yalu River and began to pursue the Qing army.Zhao Ming left a group of men and horses and went to Gaizhou, cut off the connection between Lushun and Shenyang, and the army drove directly to Lushun.The Ming army had the help of sailors, so they crossed the river very quickly, and soon crossed the Yalu River and began to pursue the Qing army south.Arthur City, North Gate.The city gate opened, the Qing army ran into the city in a hurry, Tang Tong rode into the gallop, and then hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and climbed the city head with footsteps."
The pirates are coming so fast, close the city gates quickly to prevent the fine work from entering the city!"
Tang Tong immediately drank.When the Qing army attacked the city, it liked to create chaos first, let the scouts mix into the city, and then suddenly cause chaos, and the inside and outside should join forces to seize the city.The Qing army hurriedly closed the city gate, and after a while, the yellow dust was rolling in the distance, as if the sandstorm was blowing, and the Ming army rode in front of the wind, and the back foot soldiers, like a mountain of soldiers, moved!
The alarm bell immediately sounded at the head of the city, and Tang Tong's expression was gloomy, he didn't expect the Ming army to chase after him so quickly.The Qing soldiers hurriedly climbed the city wall, looked at the Ming soldiers in the distance, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva one by one, looking a little nervous.
