The rainy season was not over yet, and the Datong Army did not attack Liaoyang, but only instigated peasant uprisings in the countryside. . .
At the military meeting, Li Zheng said with a smile: "We must not forget our old line of business. Liaoyang, Shenyang, Fushun, Tieling, Kaiyuan, these places have many Han peasants. Since the Tartars are defending the city, they will mobilize Farmers, kill the landlords and bannermen, and occupy all the land under the city. As long as the Tartars dare to leave the city, we will look for an opportunity to wipe them out. If the Tartars do not leave the city, they will starve to death in the city, anyway, they are not allowed to go into the city sell things!"
"This trick is really good." Lu Xiangsheng nodded.
"Haha," Xiao Zongxian laughed immediately, "General Lu didn't know that His Majesty used this method to deal with the Ming government when he raised troops in Jiangxi. At that time, the city belonged to the government, and all the countryside belonged to our Datong army."
Lu Xiangsheng said: "Then leave 20,000 people to fight for the peasants' uprising. The rest of the troops will go to occupy the west of Liaoning. Open up from Haizhou to Shanhaiguan. If the Hauge army is not destroyed, maybe it can be blocked. But then Send a cavalry to deter the grasslands in the northwestern part of Liaoning, and induce those Mongolian tribes to rebel."
"This plan is very good." Li Zheng nodded in agreement.
"I'll take people to the grassland!" Wang Tingchen called for a fight immediately.
Taking advantage of the rare weather, the Datong Army began to divide its troops.
10,000 people stayed in Anshan, and 10,000 people stayed in Weiningying, watching Liaoyang from the east and west, and supporting the peasants to occupy the villages and towns in Liaoyang.
In other places, there may be good landlords.
But in Liaodong ruled by the Tartars, there would be no wrongdoing if all the landlords were killed, just let the peasants feel free.
Xiao Zongxian and Hu Dinggui led troops to western Liaoning, Xining Fort, Xiping Fort, Zhenning Fort, Pingyang Bridge Fort all the way to Yizhou, these cities and fortresses were all empty. The Tartars abandoned the Han people and serfs, crossed the Great Wall with their goods, and all migrated to Shenyang.
Hu Dinggui went straight to the Xiaoling River, and the two castles were also deserted, only a group of Han people who had been robbed of their property remained.
The two met outside the city of Jinzhou. Xiao Zongxian said: "Within the Great Wall, all the Tartars have fled. I asked the Han people along the way. The Tartars crossed the Great Wall and walked over the Great Wall. It should be from the northern grassland to Shenyang."
"It's the same here, I don't see Tartars at all." Hu Dinggui said.
The Liaoxi Corridor was abandoned by the Tartars!
The fall of Haizhou means that western Liaoning is cut off. It is impossible for the Tartars to occupy there for a long time, so they chose to withdraw as soon as possible. They just took away the coats, and they didn't even bother to plunder the Han people, because the food could not feed so many serfs.
?The gate of Jinzhou City, which has been repeatedly contested for decades, is now open to the Datong Army Cave.
Hu Dinggui entered on horseback, as if he had come to a ghost town. The street was in a mess, and no one could be seen at all. Only a few Han people hid in their houses and watched secretly. They were robbed once by the Tartars, and they were afraid of being looted by the Datong army again.
Xiao Zongxian led his troops straight to Ningyuan, the situation was the same, all the Tartars in the city ran away.
Just when the two of them were depressed, Wang Tingchen who led the cavalry to the grassland was like winning the lottery jackpot.
After crossing the Great Wall, those Tartars in the Liaoxi Corridor headed for Shenyang along the edge of the grassland. Wang Tingchen's cavalry division also patrolled the edge of the grassland, seeing groups of Tartars almost every day.
"General, there are Tartars ahead!"
"Kill it!"
The cavalry division was divided into two and wandered on the edge of the grassland. At this moment, more than 4,000 people rushed out.
But the Tartars in front came from Yizhou. There are only fifty regular Eight Banners soldiers, plus a thousand banner troops, and the rest are all Tartar civilians.
"Run, the barbarians are coming!"
The Tartars panicked and did not run north, because the north was full of grasslands, and it was impossible to run past the cavalry. They abandoned their belongings and fled south into the mountains, maybe there is still a way out.
"Forgive me, forgive me!"
The Han people, Baoyi, did not escape, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy.
The Datong cavalry galloped with swords drawn, reaping their lives along the way until no Tartar escaped.
"Teacher, there are more than 1,800 prisoners, hundreds of them are coated." The law enforcement officer rushed over and said.
Wang Tingchen said: "Choose a hundred Tartar prisoners, let Baoyi stab them twice, and then let Baoyi take the captured luggage across the Great Wall to Yizhou City."
Wang Tingchen's cavalry division came to the grassland for a stroll, and originally had no logistics supplies, but the Tartars who moved from western Liaoning became his supply team instead.
There are quite a few such supply teams along the way, waiting for Wang Tingchen to receive them
Hauge and ?No, they're standing in front of us, so we don't even want to go back to Shengjing. "
Man Dahai said: "Our entire army has no armor, and we are not afraid of their firecrackers. Once the battle starts, the whole army will charge regardless. As long as we get close, we will not be afraid of the southern barbarians' firecrackers."
Hauge picked up the binoculars and asked doubtfully, "Why are these Southern barbarian cavalry a little different?"
Man Dahai also held up the binoculars, observed for a while and said: "These are the cavalry of the southern barbarians, not the dragon cavalry. Some wear cotton armor, and some have iron armor on the chest. It's very strange. Let's send three thousand cavalry first." Let¡¯s try it out, and let¡¯s talk about the enemy¡¯s style of play.¡±
The cavalry on both sides gradually spread out, and this place belongs to the hilly area.
There are many mountains, but not high, and many hillsides can be ridden on horseback. The respective cavalry are divided into teams of two or three thousand people, and the cavalry formation is deployed as much as possible.
Three thousand Tartar cavalry stepped forward, and the rest spread out to occupy the nearby hillside, intending to condescend and charge at any time.
Datong cavalry went to fight, but there were only 3000 people. All of them wear breastplates, and are all clothed from the waist down, and the horses are not very strong.
The Tartar cavalry also wanted to try out archery and formed a loose formation of traditional cavalry.
However, the Datong cavalry gathered more and more together, cavalry next to cavalry, and war horses next to war horses.
Man Dahai said with a smile: "These southern barbarians, apart from firing guns on horseback, probably don't even know how to fight on horseback. The formation is so tight, once someone falls off the horse, they will immediately fall into chaos."
The cavalry sent by the two sides to fight has gradually approached, and the scene made Hauge feel very strange.
The spear is raised, the horse speeds up, Datong cavalry, wall charge.
