Chapter 103 Helpless Giving Up 1
Seeing that Jiannu has returned to Jinzhou, the Dazhong Army still refused to relax. It is still like a maggot of metatars, chasing under Tashan City. Tashan, Daxingbao, Xingshan and other cities in the south of Jinzhou immediately became the next goal of Dazhong Army, as long as they beat Tashan, Daxingbao, Xingshan, Songshan, etc. City, then Jinzhou will become a ripe apple, and then it will fall into the bag of the Dazhong army.
Huang Taiji led his troops to retreat to Jinzhou, and then stopped retreating. He began to dispatch troops and generals in Jinzhou City, making a posture to defend Jinzhou City.
After all, they all know the importance of Jinzhou's status. At the beginning, they repeatedly went south, and Jinzhou was stuck in their throats. Over the years, they have besieged Jinzhou several times, but they have failed to capture Jinzhou City. Jinzhou's general Zu Dashou repeatedly repelled their attacks, if it hadn't been the last time. They took advantage of Chongzhen's eagerness to transfer Guan Ningjun from outside the customs to deal with Xing Tianjun. They probably don't know when they will take Jinzhou City!
Later, under the blackmail of Huang Taiji, Chongzhen was really helpless and had to cede Jinzhou City to them in the Qing Dynasty. Now they have returned to the starting point again. After retreating here, if they retreat again, their efforts for so many years will be lost.
Therefore, Huang Taiji knows that he can never retreat when he comes here. If he retreats again, I'm afraid that even his position as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty may not be able to be preserved in the future. The withdrawal of troops along the way has made those flag owners complain. If he hadn't directly controlled the strongest troops of the two yellow flags now. I'm not sure what his brothers will think about!
So when he retreated to Jinzhou, Huang Taiji decided not to retreat, so in Jinzhou City, he set off his troops and horses, turned his head and began to make a desperate posture.
Huang Taiji led by Dorgon to guard the Tashan City with the white flag soldiers under his command and the inlaid white flag under the jurisdiction of Dodo. He ordered Dai Shan to lead the red flag to guard Songshan City, and also led the inlaid blue flag soldiers and horses to guard Xingshan Mountain. He himself led two yellow flags and the inlaid red flags that had not yet recovered their strength to sit in Jinzhou, waiting for the Dazhong army to attack. Then he fought to the death with the Dazhong army.
But at this time, the Dazhong army chasing them suddenly stopped chasing, turned around and returned to Ningyuan City, which they had just recovered, and gave up the pursuit of the Jiannu army, which made Jiannu breathed a long sigh of relief.
When the rising Dazhong Army arrived at Tashan City, it suddenly received an order from Xiao Tianjian to stop all pursuit actions, and the whole army shrank and returned to Ningyuan City to rest.
After this order, the generals in the army were in an uproar. They couldn't figure out that they were going to reach the city of Jinzhou and destroy the Jiannu army at this critical moment. Why did Xiao Tianjian suddenly order to stop the pursuit and shrink his troops back to Zhenningyuan City? Isn't it equivalent to releasing the tiger back to the mountain?
However, Xiao Tianjian's will has been issued, and the soldiers from all walks of life did not dare to disobey, so they had to stop the pursuit for many consecutive days. They turned around and Xiao Tianjian's Chinese army meeting together. Luo Li, Liu Yaoben, Diao Zheng and Wang Chengping ran to Xiao Tianjian's big account and asked Xiao Tianjian why. .
And Xiao Tianjian sat in the big tent and glanced at these important generals indifferently. When he saw their angry expressions, he not only laughed.
"Holy King! Now Jiannu has become a homeless dog. It is the time for us to exterminate him. Why do we see that we have soldiers outside Tashan City, but the emperor suddenly issued an order to stop the pursuit, making us give up the pursuit and turn around and retreat? Isn't this a good opportunity for nothing? Didn't the emperor himself say that he would kill him while he was sick? Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Luo Li has a bad temper. Although Xiao Tianjian is the emperor of Dazhong, Luo Li can't help but be the first to stand up and ask Xiao Tianjian angrily.
Although the other generals did not follow Xiao Tianjian, they all looked at Xiao Tianjian, and the expression on their faces clearly showed their thoughts. They also hoped to get Xiao Tianjian's answer.
Xiao Tianjian took a cold look at Luo Li. Luo Li immediately felt that his words were too rushed. After all, Xiao Tianjian is not their leader in those years, but has become the king of a great country. He obviously violates the rules of being a minister, so he was so scared that he quickly bowed his head and knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general is over! The last general was just in a hurry, and his words were out of proportion, hoping that the emperor would calm down!"
Xiao Tianjian stared at him, sat there without anger, and waved his hand and said, "Get up! Forgive you for your innocence!"
Luo Li quickly stood up and became much more respectful, but he was still waiting for Xiao Tianjian to give them an explanation.
Xiao Tianjian glanced at the generals again and sighed slightly, "How can I not know the mood you are waiting for! But you just want to defeat Jiannu completely, but you forget that we have our own difficulties!
Yes! I hate the Jiannu and the Taipa more than any of you. I want to take advantage of this opportunity to flatten the Jiannu in one fell swoop, so that it can no longer be arrogant outside the customs and threaten our Central Plains in the future!
But don't forget that our goal of this Northern Expedition has been achieved! In the past few days, I have also thought about Shengjing, who has been angry and built a slave! Flatten this group of fierceness!
However, the time is not ripe now. Although Jiannu was defeated in Shanhaiguan, and the abandoned armor that was chased by us on the way is true, you should also know that although Jiannu was defeated and retreated, its Manchurian Eight Banners headquarters did not lose a lot. In recent days, most of our defeats were Jiannu's Hanba Banners and Mongolia. The soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners, at best, these people are the abandoned sons of Jiannu! However, Jiannu's own real strength has not lost much. They still have strong strength!
And we and other troops went north this time and traveled thousands of miles. You should know that maintaining an army like us has a huge logistics supply. You only know the pleasure of fighting, but you don't know the difficulties in the rear!
I went north on this trip. Although the first line of the canal has been opened, it can ensure that our logistics materials can be replenished along the canal to the north to replenish military supplies. However, the canal has been dredged and seriously blocked over the years. In addition, in the Ming Dynasty along the way, in order to prevent us from going north, we deliberately filled the river, so the Grand Canal is extremely powerful. It's limited! Although people are being sent to dredge along the way, they can't pass a large number of boat boats in a short time, so it is difficult to keep us here!
And along the canal, because we are in a hurry to go north, bandits are very serious, and all kinds of bandits sometimes plunder along the canal, so we are not stable behind us!
Don't forget that although the Daming Building will collapse now, after all, we have not yet conquered Daming Jingshi, and most of Shandong has not been controlled by us. Now we will attack Liaodong. Once there is any abnormality behind it, it will be very dangerous for us to go deep alone.
To tell you the truth, although we have recently won Lien War II, we also consume a lot of our military supplies. Under Lien War II, there is not much ammunition left to accompany us, and we urgently need a large number of replenishment!
From here to Shanhaiguan, our supply line has been lengthen again and again, and the supplies in the rear have gradually not been able to be helped. Is it difficult for you to ask the soldiers to attack Jinzhou City hungry?
What's more, Jinzhou is not the same as before now. It has been almost two years since Jiannu controlled the Jinzhou area. Jiannu is not stupid. They are well aware of the importance of Jinzhou. From the prisoners, we learned that Jiannu has been vigorously operating the Jinzhou area in the past two years, and repeatedly captured the foreign people to strengthen Jinzhou City, Tashan City, Daxingbao, Songshan City, Xingshan City and other cities have hoarded a lot of materials in each city!
We have lost the best opportunity if we failed to defeat the Jiannu army before retreated to Jinzhou. Now Jiannu has not lost much of the main force, and we are not fully prepared to attack Jinzhou. I think this is an unwise move!
First of all, our troops do not have an advantage. Although Jiannu is not good at defending the city, it is impossible for us to take Jinzhou lightly. What's more, it is not easy for us to supply our logistics. The army besiege the cities of Jinzhou, and the Jiannu cavalry still has an advantage, as long as they send cavalry to constantly attack us. The grain road on the back road, then we can't concentrate on attacking the city! As long as we are a little careless, we are in danger of breaking the halberd.
There is another more important reason. I have just received the news that Feng Weihan sent someone from Beijing Normal University. In the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty seems to be interested in abandoning the signs of Beijing Normal University. There are many officials in Beijing who force to give up the capital, flee to Dengzhou and take a waterway to move the capital to the Liangguang area of Fujian, and continue to be with us. China and North Korea!
And our main force is basically concentrated here now, and the remaining troops behind are very empty. Once the Ming Dynasty is allowed to run away, I need not to say that you also know what the consequences will be!
Therefore, after discussing with Li Xin, Lord Lu and others, I think that the current battle has reached such an extent and has achieved our goal! Therefore, in order to ensure that there will be no accident, I issued a decree to terminate the pursuit of Jiannu! Just let Jiannu be arrogant outside the customs for a while!
I swear to you today that within three years at most, when I have enough strength to clean up the country, I will personally conquer Liaodong again, completely wipe out the slaves, and restore the land of Liaodong!"
In fact, Xiao Tianjian doesn't want to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy Jiannu, but there is always a gap between ideal and reality. Although his soldiers are strong now, the logistics supplies and the situation in the customs that are not stable have always made him unable to do things according to his wishes.
Think about the Ming Dynasty, which has devoted tens of millions of taels of silver into the battlefield in Liaodong for decades. For so many years, it has not been able to destroy Jiannu. On the contrary, because of the increasing Liao Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and finally even tossed the Ming Dynasty. It has reached the present level.
It is impossible for him to recover Liaodong in a few months with such a force of 40,000 to 50,000 troops. Before he is fully prepared, the supply of materials alone can bring down the new China and North Korea he built. Therefore, although they have won a big victory, it is still a long time to destroy the Jiannu. The road has to go.
