Two hundred and fortieth chapters pay tribute

The Qing army's counterattack on the Eastern Front was undoubtedly extremely beneficial to the Qing army. The Ming army is now in a passive position on the Eastern Front. Faced with an unfavorable situation on the Eastern Front, in addition to reinforcements, it is the Qing army that takes the opportunity to attack the Liaodong Peninsula.

This is not even considered as siege of Wei to rescue Zhao. Since Dorgon decided to besiege the Ming army on the eastern front, he must have made the worst preparations. I am afraid that he would not stop the attack on the eastern front because of the attack here. No matter how fierce the Ming army's attack on the Liaodong Peninsula was, it was afraid that Dorgon would not be able to withdraw his troops and return to the aid. Chongzhen's current countermeasures, in Du Jun's words, were just a search for transformation in Go tactics. Even if you can eat me, I will eat you. It is just like the Duizi tactics in chess. The advantage of the Ming army is that the strength of the Zi is strong, and the Qing army has limited military resources. If each attacks each, both sides will lose 20,000 to 30,000 troops. It is not a big deal for the Ming army, and it will be a huge loss that is difficult to recover for the Qing army. If you continue to fight like this, the Qing army will eventually be done.

Although Chongzhen was worried about the war on the Eastern Front, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was worried, and at the same time he felt a little sad about his limited military command ability. In later generations, he was used to the theory of "feeling the stones across the river" and thought that when he returned to the Ming Dynasty, the theory of "feeling the stones across the river". However, now it seems that it is not reliable to do anything else to "feeling the stones across the river", and it is not reliable to rely on "feeling" in war. People with military talents have to command them. I should pay more attention to politics and economy!

On this day, Chongzhen was like a roller coaster ride. There was a very bad news, which made Chongzhen so nervous that his heart was about to jump to his throat. There was another news, and the situation seemed to be relieved. Chongzhen put his heart back in his stomach. After a while, there was a bad news, which made Chongzhen, the emperor, extremely nervous again. After a while, another news, which sounded like an exciting news, and made Chongzhen have new expectations for the battle situation.

The first news came was that the mixed cavalry led by Guo Yunlong was indeed intercepted by the Qing cavalry. More than 12,000 remaining Mongolian cavalrymen who followed Dorgon to the eastern line from the Liaodong Peninsula, stood in front of Guo Yunlong's ten thousand cavalry, and a battle began.

Then ten thousand cavalrymen across the river crossed the river one after another, which changed the situation of the crumbling Ming army camp.

But soon, new news came again. Dorgon made a comeback and sent the 10,000 cavalry reserved in his hand. The Ming army immediately fell into a siege on all sides.

When the cavalry camp led by Ni Fusheng arrived by the river, it was after the cavalry crossed the river, and four "Chang'an" were crossing the river. However, although "Chang'an" was light, it was still quite difficult to drive over the floating bridge. The crowd was careful and finally managed to cross a "Chang'an: crossing. Fortunately, Ni Fusheng's cavalry camp also carried river crossing equipment. The engineers used these equipment to reinforce the floating bridge again. After pulling horses, six "Chang'an" drove across the river staggeringly. The remaining two "Chang'an Type 2" armored vehicles were too heavy to cross the river at once. So they could only stay on the river side of the river to provide fire support.

Han Ershun got on the No. 40 armored vehicle of "Chang'an". Under Ni Fusheng's command, he led the other five armored vehicles to form a chariot and ride forward. Ni Fusheng's cavalry battalion has strengthened 500 cavalry this time, but the pistol cavalry is still 150, and an additional 200 cavalry cavalry is added.

At this time, on the battlefield, tens of thousands of people on both sides fought together, only the right-wing infantry and cavalry positions were still intact, and there was a complete red area. In most battlefields, the red Ming army was divided into east and west, and was struggling to support them under the siege of the Qing army. Often, the red area would turn into a little red area before it would take a little red area, until the red area was submerged by the tide of the Qing cavalry.

As soon as Ni Fusheng's chariot and cavalry battalion rushed up, a large number of Qing cavalry rushed over. These Qing cavalry were all born cavalry. Although they had heard of the power of the Ming army's armored chariots, they had never experienced it personally. They did not take this chariot and cavalry battalion with only 500 people in mind, so they launched an attack without hesitation.

When twelve light and heavy machine guns rang out one after another, the Qing cavalry rushed up and fell down one after another, the Qing cavalry behind felt the terror of the iron armored monster. Even so, these cavalry did not stop attacking, but just divided into two strands, and quickly encircled from the left and right wings. Unfortunately, the chariot and cavalry formation became very fast and immediately turned into a semicircular array. The Qing cavalry trying to encircle the two wings fell down one after another before rushing to the front. In the end, the remaining cavalry were also shocked by the terrifying iron armored chariot, and no one rushed forward to die.

After the Qing army retreated, the chariot and cavalry camp finally approached the battlefield. However, what made Ni Fusheng a headache was that the cavalry on both sides had already fought in a melee and strangled together. The lancers were fine and could aim and shoot, but the machine gun firepower of the armored vehicles could not be exerted. They could not even shoot together on their own.

Ni Fusheng had no idea for a moment. Seeing the Qing cavalry constantly devouring his own cavalry, besides shooting the Qing army with their heads, they could not use it. Not only could the firepower of the armored vehicles not be able to be used, but even the pistol cavalry could not play any role. The current situation was a bit strange. The Qing army could not do anything with the chariot and cavalry camp. The chariot and cavalry camp were worried and weak in attack. The Ming army's situation became worse and worse.

Finally, Han Ershun came up with a solution that was not a solution. Han Ershun lifted the hatch and communicated with Ni Fusheng who was riding on the horse. Ni Fusheng gritted his teeth and decided to listen to Han Ershun. He could not control so much when facing the crisis.

Then, the chariot and cavalry battalion rushed to the area with the largest number of Qing troops. In these areas, even if the Ming army was fighting the Qing army to die, the hope of survival was very slim. Han Ershun's idea was to cover the firepower of the Qing army. In this area, the besieged Ming army was in danger. If it was lucky enough to escape with the cover of the firepower of the armored vehicles, it would be luck. Unfortunately, under the firepower of the armored vehicles, he could only accept his fate.

Although this move is somewhat contrary to common sense and even a bit cruel, Ni Fusheng has no choice.

When Han Ershun saw that even his cavalry fell under his gun, he was bleeding in his heart, but this was a matter that he had to do and had to do it.

The Qing army was also a little confused when facing the crazy indiscriminate strafing of iron armored vehicles. The chariots could shoot thousands or tens of thousands of bullets per minute. The Qing army suffered many casualties under such fierce firepower, which made the Ming army's pressure lighter. Six iron armored vehicles rushed around the Qing army's formation, almost as if they were in a no-man's land.

Speaking of which, Guo Yunlong's cavalry was blocked by the Mongolian cavalry, Guo Yunlong was eager to kill the enemy, so he immediately commanded the lances to shoot and rush forward. However, the Mongolians set up landmines in front of the formation. When the Ming army rushed up, Guo Yunlong waded through the mine formation and paid the price of more than 300 casualties. However, the Mongolians immediately learned about the power of the angry Ming cavalry. The firepower shot by more than 4,000 lances caused the Mongolians to suffer, and the Mongolian cavalry fell down in a short while. The Mongolians' bows and arrows could not reach the Ming army, and the Ming army's cavalry could penetrate thick armor from a distance. This battle was simply impossible to fight! The Mongolians knew the opportunity and thought that they could not be in trouble with the Qing army like this, so they did not say hello to Dorgon, and they withdrew their troops and ran away.

The Mongols ran away at the last battle, and the consequences were fatal. As a result, the Qing army had only a slight advantage in number. With Guo Yunlong's mixed cavalry joining the battle group, the Qing army's strength increased to 30,000, while the Qing army's strength was less than 38,000 at this time.

The last straw that crushed the Qing army was the cavalry led by Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui led his army to rush over and quickly cross the river. With the eight thousand men of Wu Sangui, the number of people on the battlefield was close. However, the Ming army's weapons were advanced and its combat power was far from comparable in the past. One was rising and the other was getting worse. The Qing army gradually felt unsupported, and finally turned into a defeat. The Ming army rode its horse and chased for more than 30 miles in one breath, and then stopped.

On the Liaodong Peninsula, the Jinzhou city wall was quickly blasted out of the gap, and then Jinzhou fell into the hands of the Ming army. However, the Qing army was still fighting stubbornly, and the end of the street war was not a matter of time.

On the northern line of the Liaodong Peninsula, the Ming army sent an army to land behind the Qing army, attacking forward and backward. Relying on the armored combat vehicles such as tanks and armored vehicles, the Qing army's front was repeatedly lost. In the end, except for Duoduo and more than 10,000 cavalry fled, the other Qing army fell into the encirclement of the Ming army.

When Chongzhen received the Eastern Front to repel the Qing army, his nervousness was relieved. Commanding the life-and-death battle is not fun, and it is simply a torment without a strong psychological endurance.

As a result, luck favored Chongzhen even more. Although our side lost nearly 10,000 people on the Eastern Front, the Qing army lost more than 14,000 people. In addition, the Mongols retreated in the face of difficulties, and the Eastern Front also ended with the victory of the Ming army.

The Qing army suffered even more losses on the Liaodong Peninsula. On the southern front, the five thousand people on Ajige were basically unable to run away. After the Qing army was surrounded on the northern front, more than 7,000 Han soldiers chose to surrender, and the eight thousand Qing army had no choice but to escape. It was only a matter of time before they were annihilated.

Only this, Dorgon had only 40,000 troops left. Dorgon and Duoduo led the remnants of defeated soldiers and fled to Liaoyang in a hurry.

After this battle, the Qing army was defeated and it was difficult to have the power to fight again. It was just around the corner to recover Liaodong.
