Chapter 105 Entering the Pass
At this time, Ningyuan City is no longer a city. The Jiannu army went south to attack Ningyuan City. Hong Chengchou led his troops to defend Ningyuan. Jiannu attacked Ningyuan City in the past month, and finally attacked Ningyuan City. In the past month, Jiannu bombarded Ningyuan City with heavy artillery, almost peeling off all the bricks wrapped outside the wall of Ningyuan City. The city wall It collapsed a lot and almost completely lost the ability to protect the city.
After Jiannu broke through the city, he washed Ningyuan City with blood and slaughtered almost all the soldiers and civilians in the city, so Ningyuan had completely turned into ruins at this time.
Even the surrounding villages were basically destroyed by the slaves. The people fled, were arrested, and killed. Within dozens of miles of the surrounding area, there was almost no one.
Although Luo Li was ordered to guard Ningyuan, it is not realistic for such a city to be stationed. If Ningyuan City is not repaired, I'm afraid they will not be able to survive this winter.
Therefore, Xiao Tianjian was very clear about the difficulties faced by Luo Li. When Luo Li was ordered to guard Ningyuan, Xiao Tianjian issued a decree at the same time to draw elite soldiers from all the armies, make up for Luo Li's first guard division, and expand them to have six-step barracks, a battalion, three cavalry battalions, a heavy artillery battalion and an engineering battalion. On a super-large scale, with a strength of 15,000 people, at the same time, the heavy artillery of Jiannu captured along the way and the grain and bald materials of the Jiannu army were all reserved for Luo Li's use, making it have very strong firepower.
Before Xiao Tianjian led his troops back to Shanhaiguan, before leaving, Xiao Tianjian ordered the troops to spare more than half of the grain, baldder and ammunition carried by the entourage to Luo Li to ensure that there would be no shortage of materials in a short period of time, and Xu Yixian was left to assist Luo Li and guard Ningyuan City.
After Luo Li sent Xiao Tianjian and the troops, at Xu Yixian's suggestion, he first sent some soldiers to Juehua Island, and left a large number of materials left on Juehua Island, and ordered these soldiers to build fortifications on Juehua Island.
He himself led more than 10,000 soldiers and stationed outside Ningyuan City, built temporary fortifications on the spot, and began to repair Ningyuan City, and strived to restore the defensive ability of Ningyuan City before the winter.
As for Xiao Tianjian's return to Shanhaiguan, he immediately ordered Lu Xiangsheng to stay in Shanhaiguan. At the same time, he left Lu Xiangsheng's 3,000 soldiers and horses, so that he and Wu Xiang immediately recruited Min Zhuang in Shanhaiguan. Under the escort of the Dazhong army, he went out to Ningyuan City as a labor force to help Luo Li repair Ningyuan City, while Wu Xiang Continue to lead the old department and guard the Shanhaiguan. On the one hand, they are responsible for ensuring the logistics route from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan, and on the other hand, they are prepared to prevent Jiannu from turning back to Shanhaiguan again.
Xiao Tianjian ordered Lu Xiangsheng and Wu Xiang at the same time to repair the Acropolis of Qiantunwei, Houtunwei, Gaotaibao and other places destroyed by Jiannu outside Shanhaiguan before winter, and build a small military station every 30 miles on the road to Ningyuan City, and a medium-sized military station every two small soldier station, and Sending troops to garrison, as the key point of contacting Ningyuan City to ensure the logistics supply line of Ningyuan Luoli's garrison, in short, everything should be completed before the winter to ensure that after the winter, Luo Li's headquarters can hoard enough materials for the winter in Ningyuan.
After the people who fled back from the customs learned the news, even if a large number of people were recruited and brought various tools, they rushed out of the customs to Ningyuan.
Under the leadership of Xiao Tianjian, the news that the Dazhong Army defeated the Jiannu army in Shanhaiguan and wiped out tens of thousands of Jiannu immediately spread. It spread all over the Jingji area, which completely made the people in the Jingji area put their hearts in their stomachs. Countless people rushed to celebrate and spread the news further. The place.
The people in the north of the customs are completely convinced. For so many years, the Ming Dynasty has almost exhausted their national strength. Nearly a million soldiers and horses have been invested in the battlefield outside the customs, but there is nothing they can do about Jiannu. They are also beaten by Jiannu. However, as soon as the Dazhong army went north to Shanhaiguan, they flattered Jiannu. He also killed a large number of Jiannu army and knocked back the Jiannu army that wanted to break through the barrier again. At least in a short time, they did not dare to cove the inside of theguan.
Such news is undoubtedly an extremely exciting news for the northern people who have been repeatedly affected by the scourge of construction slaves. Even some local gentry, after learning the news, have changed their attitude towards the Dazhong army and are no longer hostile to the Dazhong army.
In fact, the people think about the problem is very simple. They just want a home where they can live a stable life and live a stable life. It's not terrible to be poor. At least don't let them be afraid all day long. They are afraid that the slaves will break through the barrier, arrest them as slaves, and slaughter them.
Therefore, when the people who heard the news heard that the emperor of Dazhong returned to the customs and began to travel towards the capital, they not only did not escape from the wind or take the guy to be the enemy of the Dazhong army. On the contrary, many people and even the gentry took the initiative to take out the wine and delicious food at home and ran to the roadside to welcome the Dazhong army. Best wishes for the Dazhong Army.
With Xiao Tianjian stopping the pursuit of the Jiannu army on the periphery of Jinzhou, and withdrawing the troops, the Jiannu side did not do anything more. The Dazhong army gave up chasing them, which has made them breathe a sigh of relief. Although the Rangers sent by Huang Taiji, after the Dazhong Army withdrew, it was only in Ningyuan City. Less than 20,000 large and medium-sized troops were left in the area, and the rest returned to Shanhaiguan with the Dazhong Emperor, but Huang Taiji still did not give an order, and then took this opportunity to send troops to attack the remaining Luo Li's troops.
When they went south, Hong Chengchou had only relied on more than 20,000 officers and soldiers to defend Ningyuan City for nearly a month. Now after changing to the elite soldiers and horses of the Dazhong Army, he was not confident that he could easily eat the Dazhong Army left in Ningyuan.
Now that the Dazhong Army can withdraw to Shanhaiguan, they are grateful to God, so no one can think about it and continue to fight with the Dazhong Army.
Everything returned to the original point. After paying a huge price, Jiannu once again returned to the place where they started. Even Ningyuan, an important town that once made them grit their teeth, no longer wanted to take it down, so after learning that the main force of the Dazhong Army had returned to Shanhaiguan with Xiao Tianjian, Huang Taiji also The order was made for Dorgon and Azig to stay in Jinzhou, and the rest of the enslavery began to return to Liaodong and return to their nests.
On the road to Beijing, Xiao Tianjian looked at the people who welcomed them along the way. He couldn't help but feel proud. For so many years, he led his soldiers to fight south and north in the rain of bullets. Isn't it just to return a stable life to the Chinese people? Question mark Now he has come, and he has done it. The people are simple. Of course, they know who can give them a safe life. Now he has just repelled the Jiannu. Before he has completely cleaned up the Jiannu, the people support them so much. What should he do next?
Looking at the generals of the military and the medium-sized army marching on the official road leading to the capital in a neat queue. In addition to the scouts scattered in front of them, no one in the army left the team to harass the local people. Now these people in the Gyeonggi area believe in the long-term rumors that the middle-sized army is the love of the people. Zi's army, so the last kind of vigilance against the Dazhong Army in his heart, suddenly disappeared. Countless people stood on the edge of the road and shouted loudly to these Dazhong army generals. They were even a little young and strong. They simply chased after the Dazhong Army and asked them if they would recruit troops. They wanted to join the Dazhong Army and follow them in the future. The Chinese army went to kill the tazis.
For such a request, Xiao Tianjian was naturally happy in his heart after listening to it. He really needs to recruit troops in the north now. At present, most of the generals he leads are in the Central Plains, Shaanxi and Huguang. Now it is in summer. There is no problem with these soldiers, but the winter in the north is very Early, and now there is something wrong with the small glacier era, which is much colder than the north of later generations. Those soldiers in Shanxi and Henan are still adaptable to the weather here, but the soldiers in the Zhili area of Huguangnan may be very uncomfortable with the winter here.
Therefore, when Xiao Tianjian went north this time, he made up his mind to recruit a group of northern generals in the north. In addition to guarding the land of Beijing, he will use it as the main force to attack Liaodong in the future. Now when he sees that so many young people in the north are scrambling to join the large and medium army, he will follow him to kill the tars in the future. Xiao Tian How unhappiness!
So on the way, Xiao Tianjian immediately issued an order to order Liu Yaoben to form a brand-new teaching camp, which is responsible for recruiting and training new recruits. The initial quota is 15,000. In the future, the Third Guards Division will be temporarily responsible for the defense of the whole northern Great Wall, and will also attack Liaodong in the future. The main use of.
As for those who asked if they could become soldiers in the Dazhong army, Xiao Tianjian told them that they could go directly to Jizhou to join the army, where the newly established Jinwei Third Division teaching battalion will be responsible for the selection of recruitment.
These things were quickly implemented, and the formation of the teaching camp of the Third Guards Division was also extremely fast. At this time, those who followed Xiao Tianjian were the elite of the Dazhong Army. It was not difficult to select the officers of the teaching battalion at all. Xiao Tianjian's decreed, and the leaders of each department immediately started to deal with it from their hands. According to the requirements, a group of capable young officers were selected, from more than Shilong to the battalion generals. As long as the recruits are recruited and the training of new recruits is over in just three months, the new third guard division can have the ability of actual combat. It only depends on the speed of weapons supply in the back. The shortest time is three months, it can be invested. Use.
