Chapter 36 Breaking the Outer City of Jinzhou
The Qing army near Jinzhou has reduced its troops. It is estimated that this situation should not have happened based on facts! But this is the case! Another point is that Zhang Biwu also discovered that there were fewer guard soldiers standing on Jinzhou than before. Unlike before, unlike those who stood densely, more people were driven to the city! Yes! It was the people!
Zhang Biwu understood this moment, and within five days he heard that there were a large number of Qing troops leaving the city in Jinzhou City. That’s right!
The enemy troops went out in large numbers, and they seemed to be giving up Jinzhou! Although they didn't know why Dorgon gave up such an important Jinzhou, Zhang Biwu's Qing army was the greatest good for him!
He cannot miss this opportunity. He must let the soldiers bravely attack Jinzhou and take down Jinzhou as soon as possible. As long as Jinzhou is broken, everything will be fine.
This time, Zhang Jun launched a ** offensive towards Jinzhou. Although the defenders in Jinzhou were greatly reduced, they were still tenacious. Zhang Biwu still had to find out the enemy's situation first, so that he could make trouble!
After some investigation, Zhang Biwu understood the whole story. It turned out that Dorgon's illness had worsened. After hearing about Songshan's fall, he was even more worried! And they did not achieve the expected results, which made Dorgon feel even more uncomfortable.
Moreover, Zhang Biwu began to vigorously sweep the periphery of Jinzhou. The entire Qing army was shaken by the morale of the army. He knew this more deeply. Once Jinzhou became an isolated city, no soldiers and food were transported, and in such a turbulent situation, Jinzhou would be even more difficult to defend.
Dorgon's concerns worsened his illness. He fainted and did not wake up for a long time. Although he was constantly adding good medicines such as ginseng and Cordyceps sinensis. Although he woke up, he was extremely weak and could not command it at all. It was difficult to get up. How could he command thousands of troops?
The defeat of Songshan and the direct threat of Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan to Shenyang made the Qing army uneasy. Now Dorgon's illness is the last straw that overwhelms the camel's!
The people of the Qing army were even more shaken. Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou made a decision. They knew that if they were to defend Jinzhou, everyone would die! Although it was a pity to give up Jinzhou, if they didn't give up, they would all be defeated. It would be better to concentrate all their strength to defend Shenyang first. If they could defend, the Qing Dynasty would still exist again.
Therefore, they retreated. When they were using their main force to escort Dorgon back, they encountered Cao Bianjiao and defeated Cao Bianjiao!
Then during this period, the main force was asked to withdraw from Jinzhou and return to defend the capital. However, the Qing Dynasty could not easily give up Jinzhou, and there would be dead soldiers left to guard Jinzhou.
Even if they were defending Beijing at the beginning, it was a political need to let Ebilong and Yuele stay in Beijing. Now, guarding Jinzhou is to hold on to time, and to keep the last hope. If Jinzhou really defends it, the Qing Dynasty will exist.
They also decided that with Zhang Biwu's cautious attitude, he had doubts in his heart that the Qing Dynasty would give up Jinzhou, and he would not attack in a big way. He would find out the good news first before making a decision!
Of course, the city suddenly shouted that Zhang Biwu would be given the title of the head, in order to deepen Zhang Biwu's doubts, making Zhang Biwu even more confused about the Qing Dynasty's thoughts and would not move around.
As long as it can be held back for a while, time is extremely precious to the Qing Dynasty.
Zhang Biwu laughed and said, "Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou, you two worked together to slap me! Although I missed the best opportunity, it doesn't mean I can't destroy you! Victory is still in my hands!"
Zhang Biwu looked at Jinzhou City. When Dorgon suddenly withdrew due to illness, he was like he had taken Jinzhou into his arms, and Jinzhou could not get rid of it.
At this time, I already knew that the one who was about to die in Jinzhou was Tuhai! It was the Tuhai who was repeatedly valued but failed!
When Xiong Zongheng heard this, he was shocked. Yes! How could he say that Tuhai was his uncle? Now that Tuhai is killed, he feels sad. How could he say that Tuhai is also his uncle! He is the only relative in the world.
Zhang Biwu looked at Xiong Zongheng. He could understand Xiong Zongheng's heart. He sighed and said, "Xiong Zongheng, go back and urge food and pay!"
Zhang Biwu was thinking about Xiong Zongheng and did not let him see his uncle's death. Xiong Zongheng of course Zhang Biwu was for his good, so he had to go and said, "Master, I know! Everything is for the public!"
Zhang Biwu just nodded and waved his hand to signal him to go.
Zhang Biwu appeared at the city of Jinzhou, and he ordered the entire army to start a stern offensive. He would not drag it down anymore and must capture Jinzhou. This time, Jinzhou City was subjected to a strong attack again.
Tuhai stood on Jinzhou City. He never took a step back. He just sat steadily, commanding the battle.
This time, Tu Hai was ready to die, and he would not escape again. He just thought about delaying for the Qing Dynasty for a moment!
Tuhai shouted: "Everyone should defend it! Kill one more enemy soldier and count on one! We must contribute every drop of our blood to the Qing Dynasty! Batulu, fight to the death!"
At this moment, the Qing soldiers raised their arms and shouted, and they kept chanting: "I am Batulu!"
Corresponding to this were Zhang Jun's soldiers. When they listened to Batulu's cry, they just said: "Victory!" What they saw was their desire for victory!
Because of defeating the enemy who was known as heroes and warriors, did not show their strength? So when the Qing soldiers shouted "Baturu" and each of them rose up, the soldiers of the Zhang army were even more excited. One or two of them rushed towards the Qing soldiers as if they were crazy, and they wanted to destroy the Qing soldiers.
In Jinzhou City, there are no longer soldiers guarding the walls like before, so we can be careful. But now there is insufficient manpower, so naturally there is a gap for Zhang soldiers everywhere.
This time, one after another, Zhang soldiers climbed to the top of the city. If the Qing soldiers wanted to stop them, they were also suffering from too few people and they were unable to deal with it!
The east side was blocked, and Zhang soldiers came up again on the west side, and the north side was destroyed, and the south side continued to come up. If you wiped out one side, there was a floating head again on the other side. That's it, you're pushing east and west, but you're floating head everywhere and hard to control everywhere.
Tuhai also shouted: "Stay it! Keep it for me! No matter what, everyone will try their best to keep it!"
Tuhai cuts the east and cuts the west, and he has been guarding for four days. Zhang Jun has never stopped attacking. Their attack like a tide will never stop.
The defenders cannot rest, and there are not many defenders left in Jinzhou, so it is difficult for them to continue to fight again and again.
Tuhai saw that Zhang Jun's soldiers were occupied by the outer city walls, and the outer city could not be defended. Now he had to retreat to the inner city first and defend the inner city. He could delay for a moment.
The outer city was broken, and only the inner city was left. The news reached Zhang Biwu. Zhang Biwu was overjoyed, and he saw that it was getting late.
Moreover, the soldiers have been attacking for four days in a row. Although it is a rotation system, everyone is also tired. It is better to take a night off for a while and attack again tomorrow. Jinzhou City is like a cooked duck and cannot fly.
However, Song Xiance suggested to Zhang Biwu that he would surround him first. Anyway, there was only the inner city. The Qing army in the inner city did not have much ability. There were less than 10,000 Qing army in the inner city, so it was easy to destroy them.
If you surround them first, give the Qing Dynasty a chance, so that the Qing Dynasty would think that Jinzhou would not be destroyed, they would divide their troops to rescue Jinzhou. At that time, they would siege the city and attack the reinforcements and eliminate the enemy's vitality as much as possible.
In this way, the attack on Chenyang will be less resistance, which is better than when the two sides fight to the decisive battle, and the enemy's strength is still stronger.
Moreover, the city has been besieged for a long time, and only the inner city, the food in the enemy inside is a problem, and their morale will also be declining. Why do you have to let them lose their troops when they trapped beasts counterattack? When they are completely exhausted and exhausted, they will be able to capture it!
Another point is that the outer city of Jinzhou City is now broken, and only the inner city is left. It does not require the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops, and it cannot accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops.
Why leave your troops here? It is better to move your troops first and look for an opportunity to march to the city of Chenyang.
When Zhang Biwu heard this suggestion, he was very happy and nodded one after another to agree.
Zhang Biwu just let his horse attack the inner city, but he was not as anxious as he was.
As for the main army, they were temporarily resting and did not march immediately. Because they had been fighting for a long time, they should rest and maintain their strength!
Now that the Qing Dynasty lost the Songjin area, what else could it be? It would be even better if they could scare them to escape from Chenyang.
The sky is vast and the earth is vast, where can there be a place for the Qing Dynasty? No matter where they run, Zhang Biwu will chase him.
Let's see if the Qing Dynasty really sent reinforcements. Without reinforcements, he would spread news to the Qing army retreating to the inner city so that they could know that they had been abandoned and that all they could do was surrender to Zhang Biwu, otherwise they would have to die.
Of course, Zhang Biwu would not send an envoy to him. Isn’t this just for someone to die in vain? As long as he calls out this, the other party will know it.
Zhang Biwu was waiting, and at the same time, he was also asking all the troops to prepare for marching towards Chenyang. As for the Qing army trapped in Jinzhou, there were tens of thousands of people, they could not be looked down upon, and still left 100,000 people to surround them.
Zhang Biwu was waiting, and the news that the Qing Dynasty did not send troops to attack! This time, it became clear that Dorgon was not stupid. He knew that since Jinzhou had been abandoned and the outer city had been lost, it was not easy to save it again.
Zhang Biwu heard that Dorgon was seriously ill again. Although he reluctantly got up to the director, he often was unconscious!
