405 I can't leave this time
At this moment, Zhenjiang City has become a large military camp, with more than 100,000 Yongsheng Dynasty troops gathered. There are tents everywhere inside and outside the city, densely packed, scaring everyone to death.
On the sea, the warships of all sizes were even more covered by the sky and the sun. There were countless people, and even the vassal states on the opposite side were shocked.
After all, they had already surrendered to the power of Jiannu's military and betrayed the Ming Dynasty. They were also afraid of the Ming Dynasty's attack!
Of course, the target of Zhu Qizhao is not the vassal state of North Korea, at least not yet. He is sitting in the tent of the handsome guards, holding the map carefully repaired by the secret guards, and listening carefully to Liu Guojiang's report on the situation.
It seems that Jiannu didn't know their intention to attack Hetuara, otherwise there would be no one outside Hetuara City at this time. Moreover, Liu Guojiang also looked carefully with a telescope. There were not many people in Hetuara City, and the guards were even more sparse, with a maximum of only a thousand people.
It can be said that this is an excellent opportunity. Hetuala can easily win it by sending 10,000 or 20,000 troops.
However, it is a bit tricky.
According to Liu Guojiang's judgment, the wheel boat could not reach the city of Hetuala directly. If you want to attack Hetuala, the army would have to get off the ship and walk for forty or fifty miles.
This is more troublesome, because the wheels and boats are not easy to transport horses, and the chariots and artillery chariots cannot be transported. Therefore, what he sent was a pure infantry, and at most he could carry some tiger squat cannons.
Forty or fifty miles of mountain road, it will take several hours to run at the speed of a secret guard. If the army runs over to attack the city, let’s not talk about whether the tiger squat cannons will carry it. Muskets, ammunition, sky-burning thunder, and food must be brought with you. The speed can be imagined. It is fast to carry so many things on the mountain road, and it is enough to run forty or fifty miles a day!
Jiannu is quite familiar with the terrain over there, and there are many cavalrymen, so the support speed is definitely quite fast.
You should know that Shenyang is only more than 300 miles away from Hetuala, and the support of Jiannu cavalry is likely to arrive in one day.
In other words, after taking Hetuala, it is very likely that he will face Jiannu's crazy counterattack immediately.
Originally, he just planned to send 10,000 or 20,000 troops to launch a sneak attack. Now it seems that this tactic has to change.
He frowned and pondered for a while, then said loudly: "Send orders, the generals of the army will come to the commander's office to discuss matters quickly."
Not long after, Ma Qiancheng, Qi Jin, Ma Xianglin, Zheng Chenggong, Qi Yuanfu, Qi Yuanbi and other generals gathered in the commander's tent.
Zhu Qizhuo ordered without hesitation: "Ma Qiancheng, you will lead the imperial guards to set out tomorrow morning and take the wheel boat to Hetuala straight for Hetuala. Remember, bring more tiger squat cannons. After taking Hetuala, you must pay attention to strengthening the city defense to prevent Jiannu from counterattacking."
The Imperial Army is the original Baigang soldiers. These elite soldiers from Bashan and Shu River are also very powerful in fighting in the mountains and forests. Even Jiannu may be inferior to them when fighting in the mountains and forests. It is natural to send them to attack Hetuara.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qizhi ordered: "Qi Jin, tomorrow morning you will lead the Qi family army, Zhendong army, Zhenxi army, Zhennan army, Zhenbei army, Pingdong army, Pingxi army, Pingnan army and Pingnan army to set off and attack Dingliao Right Guard. Remember, the speed must be fast. You must arrive at Dingliao Right Guard before dark. As for siege, there is no need to worry. You must first station in the south of the city and build a few days of siege equipment."
This means that Qi Jin led 80,000 elite troops to attract Jiannu's attention.
The Dingliao Right Guard is only more than 300 miles away from Liaoyang, and there is only such a city in the south of Liaoyang. Once it is lost, Liaoyang will be in danger, while Liaoyang is more than 100 miles away from Chenyang. Once Liaoyang is lost, Chenyang will be in danger, so he will not believe it. Jiannu will watch them take over the Dingliao Right Guard without caring about it.
Immediately afterwards, he ordered: "Zheng Chenggong, tomorrow morning you will lead all the giant ships and ships to Tianjin Guard to take over the Fourth Corps of the Southwest Army."
At this moment, the navy warships had only been transported twice in total, and Zhenjiangcheng had only 120,000 troops. The Andong Army, Anxi Army, Annan Army and Anbei Army were still guarding Tianjin.
Originally, he was going to transport all the elite troops to the southwest army first, but now he changed his mind.
Because Hetulala must defend, and the Southwest Army, which also came out of the forest, must be stronger than the Andong Army, Anxi Army, Annan Army and Anbei Army under that terrain, so he ordered Zheng Chenggong to transfer the Southwest Army first.
Everything was arranged, and the next morning, the Yongsheng Chamber army set out separately.
The Imperial Army led by Ma Qiancheng was on a water road, but because Hetura was too far from Zhenjiang, even if the wheels were driving at full speed, it would take as long as one and a half to reach the small mountain village near Hetura. In addition, forty or fifty miles on land, it would be fast to launch an attack on Hetura on the morning of the third day.
Qi Jin led a 100,000 army to travel by land, but the Dingliao Youwei was only more than 100 miles away from Zhenjiang, and they were all chariots and were moving very fast. Therefore, in the afternoon of that day, before it was dark, they had already rushed outside the Dingliao Youwei.
This scared the defenders of the Dingliao Right Guard.
Although Dorgon had received news that a large number of Ming troops had landed in Zhenjiang and had sent troops to support the Dingliao Right Guard, his eight banner army was only 100,000 at this moment. Moreover, Chenyang, Liaoyang, Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Haizhou, Gaizhou and other places needed to be stationed, so he could give the Liaoyou Guard how many reinforcements he sent.
At this moment, the cavalry and infantry in Dingliao's Right Acropolis have only been about 20,000!
Twenty thousand men faced nearly 100,000 well-equipped Yongsheng Dynasty army, and the Dingliao Right Guard was a small city like a small county town. How could they defend it?
There was no way, they didn't dare to run away, because they would run away, because they would fight to Liaoyang and Shenyang, so they could only desperately ask for help from Chenyang.
Dorgon was also shocked by the speed of the Yongshengchao Navy's transportation. How many warships does the Yongshengchao Navy have?
In just a few days, nearly 100,000 troops were transported over. Could it be that they really have thousands of warships?
Originally, Dorgon didn't believe it very much when he received an urgent report from the garrison in Zhenjiang City.
Just kidding, do thousands of warships behave like warships made of paper?
During the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Ming Navy had only a few warships. Even if the madman could build it, he would not have built thousands of warships in one or two years!
At this moment, he really believed it because without thousands of warships, it was impossible to transport nearly 100,000 troops in just a few days.
The question, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not.
What should we do if we all rushed to the Dingliao Right Guard?
If possible, he would still have thirty-six strategies to leave!
However, he had no way to leave now.
Because the Eight Banners have already taken root in Liaodong, the Eight Banners' children are almost spread throughout Liaodong. If he ignores them and turns around and runs away, most of the tribesmen who have finally reproduced will become prisoners of others.
It has been more than 20 years since they finally reproduced from 400,000 to nearly one million people. He left 500,000 or even 600,000 or 600,000 people in his tribe and ran away. How can he face his father Nurhaci in the underworld?
If he really did this, his father Nurhaci would probably be so angry that he would crawl out of the coffin and throw him in and bury him alive!
Besides, he has no place to run away now. Even if he can take all his tribesmen back to Hetuala, can the mountains and forests there support nearly one million people?
He was really unsure of this. He had experienced how hard life in the mountains and forests was. Hundreds of thousands of people were often hungry when they were inside, and nearly one million people got in. I really didn’t know what it would be like to be hungry.
There was no choice but to order Ajige to lead 50,000 elite cavalry to quickly go to Dingliao Right Guard to support him.
However, he did not order Ajige to fight against the Crazy King Army.
The Crazy King's army is full of chariots, and there are quite a lot of muskets and cannons. If people gather together to defend the enemy, let alone 50,000 elite cavalry, it would be useless to rush forward.
He just ordered Ajige to find a way to delay the advancement of the Crazy King's army, and give him some time to summon all his tribesmen to the vicinity of Shenyang.
As for the Dingliao Right Guard, if you can defend it, you can defend it. If you can't defend it, you can only give up.
He knew very well that if he was stupid enough to fight the crazy king's army, he would be seeking death!
