Chapter 79 Sending prisoners to Lin Dan Khan
Yue Tuo led the baggage team and three thousand Jin soldiers to the south from Hongshankou and settled in Da'ankou. Although Da'ankou was only five or six miles away from Li Laoer's siege, Yue Tuo knew that even Huang Taiji suffered a loss under Li Laoer's siege, and he suffered losses and could not even touch the top of the city.
Originally, the Jin army was not good at attacking difficulties. At that time, Kong Youde had not yet invested in the Later Jin Dynasty. Later Jin lacked the red barbarian cannons to attack the city. The several cities they captured were basically relying on internal responses, and internal responses could only be broken.
Li Laoer's team is very pure, just as pure as a certain army in later generations. It is almost impossible for Hou Jin to mix sand into it.
So Yue Tuo honestly followed Huang Taiji's instructions and sent troops to garrison Da'ankou, and did not take his own initiative to attack Li Laoer's city.
Huang Taiji also knew about the killing of Mangourtai. After learning about this news, Huang Taiji did not express any sadness except being shocked. Instead, he took the opportunity to use the excuse of Mangourtai being incompetent and being attacked by someone, and the elite of the Great Jin Dynasty were damaged, and he removed Mangourtai's title of Great Beile.
In fact, the resentment between Huang Taiji and Mangourtai has been accumulated for a long time. Originally, after the death of the old slave, it was very likely that the position of Khan was taken over by Mangourtai, but because Mangourtai still could not defeat Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji was brought to power.
Manguertai is dead, and Huang Taiji also plans to cut off all the Zhenglan Banners after returning to Liaodong this time and incorporate all the soldiers and horses of the Zhenglan Banners under his two yellow banners.
The Jin army did not come to attack his own city, and Li Laoer rested peacefully for one night in the city. The next morning, he sent Zhang Wei as the night to Hongshankou to spy on military information.
This place is about fifty miles away from Hongshankou. Zhang Wei set out in the morning and arrived at Hongshankou two hours later. He wandered around the nearby area and quickly understood the situation at Hongshankou: Yue Tuo led a thousand Jin soldiers from Zhenghong Banner and two thousand Mongolian soldiers to the south to guard Da'ankou. Only one thousand Ming army surrendered soldiers were left to defend the city at Hongshankou. The defender was the former Ming guerrilla Li Fengze, and two hundred Mongolians cooperated with the surrendered soldiers, who were actually monitoring Li Fengze.
Surprisingly, Hongshankou only left the extremely unreliable Ming army surrendered soldiers and Tumotes to defend the city, and there was not even one of the most reliable Jurchens and Korqins in the minds of the Jurchens.
This incident made Li Laoer worried for a long time, thinking that Yue Tuo was cheating. In fact, the Jin army lacked military strength, because Li Laoer flapped the butterfly's wings. The Zunhua City, which Huang Taiji had taken in only three days, has now been attacking for six days, and Zunhua City is still as stable as a rock.
At the city of Zunhua, the bodies of the surrendered Ming soldiers and the Tumotes were piled up like mountains. However, the Baijia Bayala soldiers stood under the city and shot arrows, which also caused great losses to the defenders on the city.
Besides, Zhao Lu Cult, because there was a problem with the team sent by Ajige to plunder the people, Ajige was very suspicious and did not concentrate on dealing with the Guanning Iron Cavalry who came to help. As a result, he fought for three more days. On the eighth day of November, Ajige annihilated the 4,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry of Zhao Lu Cult.
Next, Ajige met with Huang Taiji and concentrated 30,000 troops to attack Zunhua City.
The four thousand Ming army, except for one person, were captured, all the rest were killed. The captives were captured by Ajige and they were in front of Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji said: "It can be taken away, and it will be beneficial to raise people."
Later, the prisoner shaved his hair and braided it and was also braided into the Later Jin army.
Based on the familiar historical knowledge in his previous life, Li Laoer also knew the schedule of the Jin army's invasion this time. The Jin army originally invaded Jizhou on November 13th. Now the Jin army has spent two days here, Da'ankou has spent one more day, and Zunhua City has spent several more days. It is estimated that it will undergo a huge change from the original historical schedule.
"The Jiannu may not have even taken Zunhua City, and they could not have divided their troops anymore. We entered from Hongshankou. I was worried that Huang Taiji would set a trap for us at Hongshankou. In this way, they did not have enough troops, and the location of Hongshankou is not as important as Da'ankou, and Huang Taiji did not have any extra troops to take care of it." Li Laoer attracted several confidants and proposed a plan to prepare for a surprise attack on Hongshankou.
Li Laoer was about to enter the Ming Dynasty from Hongshankou, but he still planned to attack.
Li Laoer has used the surprise attack three times. The first surprise attack was the Jin army camp stationed outside his city, the second surprise attack on Da'ankou, and the third attack on the Jin army camp in Zhaojia Village, all three times. For this fourth time, he still decided to take the surprise attack.
If it is against Huang Taiji or Yue Tuo, even Dorgon, Li Laoer will not be able to use this trick until he is old. That is impossible. Once, the opponent will be prepared.
Regarding the doubts raised by the soldiers under his command, Li Laoer explained: "What are we afraid of? Are we not wearing Jiannu's skin? The ones guarding Hongshan Pass are the surrendered generals and soldiers of the Ming army. They are the second Japanese. When they see us, the Eight Banners Taijun, it is too late to nod and bow. How could they doubt us? We can go into the city in broad daylight."
Although the soldiers under their command did not understand what the Second Japanese was and what the Eight Banners Taijun was, they also understood that they were wearing the Eight Banners armor and then posed the Eight Banners banner. The surrendered generals of the Ming army who surrendered to the enemy and treason would definitely not dare to do anything to them.
Moreover, Li Laoer also believes in the principle of eating everything with one move. He is an excellent soldier from the future. Some surprise attack tactics are tactics that do not exist in this era. The same surprise attack tactics can be divided into different types of combat methods. Li Laoer can change them casually, and the Jin army will find it difficult to deal with them.
Of course, Li Laoer still thought it was prudent. Before sending cavalry to the city from the front with the help of his skin, he sent Han Dashan to climb up from the city wall north of Hongshan Pass, and first entered the pass to see if there were any ambushes by the Jin army. Han Dashan and the others were carrying fireworks and rockets. If the situation was not good, send a signal immediately.
After making the plan, Li Laoer asked He Xing to stay in his city. The 700 surrendered soldiers of the Ming army who had surrendered before, and the 700 strong men of the people he rescued were all stayed to defend the city. There were 1,400 people stationed in this city. Even if Huang Taiji suppressed all his troops, it would be impossible to break the castle.
After arranging the manpower to defend the city, Li Laoer personally led 700 elite cavalry to escort Sonom and more than 300 Korchin Mongolian prisoners, and first sent them to Lin Danhan.
Lin Dankhan was defeated by the Jin army in western Liaoning and was forced to retreat to the Zhangbei grassland. This time, the Later Jin invaded, and Lin Dankhan's troops were actually only more than 200 miles away from Da'ankou and Hongshankou, but Lin Dankhan just did not dare to send troops to help the Ming Dynasty.
