At the head of the city, Hong Chengchou listened to Tang Tong's words, and his heart sank.Digging people's ancestral graves, this kind of thing, Zhao Zamao can actually do it.The Manchurian soldiers and their dependents in the city were suddenly angry, and some people shot an arrow at Tang Tong, so startled that Tang Tong hurriedly pulled out his horse and retreated, retreating a hundred steps away from the city wall.Hong Chengchou's face was gloomy, just like Zhao Ming expected, it was impossible for him to accept such a condition.If he loses Shenyang, surrenders the Manchu Shengjing, and lets the temples and ancestral mausoleums of Manchuria fall into the hands of Zhao Zamao, he will definitely die.Therefore, it is impossible for Hong Chengchou to accept such conditions, and he can only save his life and official position by guarding Shenyang and the mausoleum.Tang Tong saw the angry Qing army at the head of the city, shot arrows at him, and wanted to shoot him to death under the city, he was in a panic, he was in a hurry to leave the city and go to Zhao Ming to return his life, so he hurriedly shouted loudly: "Hong Zhongtang, promise or not, give a letter!"
”Hong Chengchou looked at Tang Tong murderously, and replied coldly: "Tang Tong, you repeated villain, the Qing Dynasty will not spare you!"
You can tell Zhao Zamao that the main hall has invited Wu Keshan, the prince of Horqin, and 100,000 Eastern Mongolian warriors, and it will be here soon, and the main hall will come to see whether he captured Shengjing or was defeated by the main hall!
”Tang Tong listened to Hong Chengchou's words, and immediately pulled the reins of his horse and galloped away from the city.After observing the defense of Shenyang City for a while, Zhao Ming had already led the generals back to the camp and studied Shenyang City, as well as the two mausoleums in the east and north.At this time, Tang Tong entered the account, and everyone immediately turned their eyes.Zhao Ming asked, "What did the thief say?"
”Tang Tong has now completely boarded the ship of Donghai Town, he adjusted his mentality, and said angrily: "Back to the marshal, the Hong thief not only rejected the marshal's conditions, but also threatened to send someone to ask for reinforcements from Eastern Mongolia, claiming that Wu Keshan, the prince of Horqin, would lead an army of 100,000 to Shenyang for reinforcements. ”"There are 100,000 soldiers in Eastern Mongolia?"
Xie Qian questioned.Han Zhao proclaimed: "This must be a flood thief's bluff!"
”Eastern Mongolia sent a maximum of 40,000 or 50,000 cavalry, and it was impossible for 100,000 horses to rescue Shenyang.Zhao Ming frowned, and suddenly said, "Bring the map!"
”Gu Yanwu hurriedly asked the scribe to take the map and hang it in the tent, Zhao Ming stepped forward to take a look, immediately frowned, and said in a loud voice: "I actually forgot about Horqin."
Although it is unlikely that the Eastern Mongolian tribes will send 100,000 troops over, Horqin is not far from Shenyang, and this commander can't help but guard against it!
”Horqin Mongolia and Manchuria married, Manchu and Mongolian families, the coalition army is in Shenyang, if Horqin gets Hong Chengchou's request for help, it may not send reinforcements.Now the Qing army in Guannai can't pull out, but the cavalry of the Horqin Mongols can go south to reinforce.After listening to Zhao Ming's words, everyone became upright, and Gu Yanwu said in a deep voice: "If Horqin participates in the war, then the situation is not optimistic for us!"
It's already October now, if we can't quickly defeat the flood thieves and seize Shenyang, once the winter comes, the Horqin cavalry will suddenly kill again, and it will be impossible for the army to retreat to Lushun and Korea!
”The coalition army is not good at fighting outside the pass in winter, once it enters the winter, the movement of the army will inevitably be chaotic, if at any time, the Horqin cavalry kills, the coalition army is afraid of a big rout.Zhao Ming stroked his short beard, his eyes narrowed, "Since this is the case, Ben Shuai can't wait, he should immediately force the thief out of the city for a decisive battle!"
”After speaking, Zhao Ming waved his hand, beckoned many soldiers, and gathered in front of the sand table.Zhao Ming looked at it for a while, then picked up the wooden stick and pointed to the sand table, "I watched the Qing army defend before, Shenyang City is strong, and it will definitely not be able to fight in a short time, so I can only force Hong Chengchou to go out of the city for a decisive battle."
The Manchu Dongling and Zhaoling, one in the east of the city and the other in the north of the city, were the places that Hong Chengchou had to defend, so the commander attacked these two places and forced the Qing army to go out of the city for a decisive battle. ”Xie Qian and the others nodded one after another, "How is the big marshal going to arrange?"
”Zhao Ming looked at the sand table and said: "The army first moved to the upper reaches of the Hunhe River, preparing to attack Tanglin and Beiying, attracting the flood thieves out of the city, and then feinting to attack Donglin to attract the Qing army, and finally the main force flanked Beiling, outflanked the flood thieves, and defeated the Qing army in Shenyang in a battle!"
”Xie Qian Wenyu asked, "Dashuai, will the Hong thief see our intentions!"
”Gu Yanwu said: "Commander Xie, this is the mausoleum of Yangmou, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, none of the Hong thieves can be lost, he can only be led by our nose!"
”In the city of Shenyang, Hong Chengchou and many generals of the Manchu Qing Dynasty all looked solemn.Han Dai said hatefully: "Lord Zhongtang, no matter what, Tanglin and Zhaoling must not be lost.If the mausoleums of Taizu and Taizong can't be saved, and the Qing Kingdom will lose face, what face do we have to survive, only to judge ourselves to thank the spirit of Taizu. ”Hong Chengchou originally wanted to hold on to Shenyang and wait for the Mongol soldiers from the outer domain to come to help.The Qing army in Shenyang City, as long as he held it for a month, dragged the war into the cold winter, and then waited for the Horqin cavalry to arrive, he would be able to turn defeat into victory and kill Zhao Zamao without leaving a single piece of armor.But he didn't expect that Zhao Zamao would actually threaten him with two mausoleums, so that he had to go out of the city to face the battle.At this time, a member of the Qing Dynasty entered the festival hall in a hurry, knelt on one knee, and reported: "Lord Zhongtang, the enemy army moved to the east and went in the direction of Tanglin!"
”Zhao Zamao did what he said, and the army moved to camp, obviously according to what he said, gave up attacking Shenyang, and went to capture Dongling and Beiling first.Han Dai and the others suddenly said hurriedly: "Zhongtang, there are only three thousand banners guarding Tanglin, we must immediately reinforce it!"
”Hong Chengchou's face was gloomy, he knew that Zhao Zamao was forcing him to fight, but he had to follow Zhao Zamao's wishes and go out of the city to fight.After all, it was impossible for Hong Chengchou to hide in the city and sit back and watch Zhao Zamao really dig Nurhachi's mausoleum, he couldn't afford such a consequence at all.A group of Manchurian nobles were filled with righteous indignation, Hong Chengchou had a gloomy face, and gritted his teeth half-loudly and said: "Order the whole army to go out of the city to face the battle."
If you send fast horses again, be sure to ask Prince Horqin to send troops to help as soon as possible. ”The east city of Shenyang was wide open, and Hong Chengchou rode on a horse and stood on the side of the road next to the city gate.The cavalry of the Qing army rushed out of the city with horses' hooves, followed by the Qing soldiers with muskets on their shoulders, and finally Manchurian dependents and clothed servants wearing various jackets and armor, holding swords or bows and arrows, and holding quivers hanging from their waists.The army lined up in a long line, and the fish ran out of the city, and tens of thousands of horses marched with their heads bowed, silent, and the atmosphere was heavy.Hong Chengchou stood under the daxu, the afterglow of the setting sun scattered to the earth, he looked at the people and horses meandering eastward, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.After the allied forces moved to camp, the Qing army also drove out of Shenyang City, set up camp near Dongling and Beiling, and prepared for defense in advance to resist the attack of the Ming army.()
