    Chapter 488: The eastern battlefield is initially determined (third update)

    But unlike the Battle of Dalinghe launched by Huang Taiji, this time the Taiwanese army was not interested in providing reinforcements, but in completely capturing the more than 300,000-strong army.  "" Novel handwritten by netizens

    However, under the strong integration of Sun Chengzong, more than 300,000 troops launched no less than 20 breakouts in the next three days, all of which were repelled by the Taiwanese army.

    During this period, more than 8,000 people died and more than 10,000 people were injured.  Most of the more than 10,000 people were taken in by Qin Keren's order and given medical treatment.

    This kind of preferential treatment of prisoners was completely done in front of the army in Dalinghe Fort.  Although Sun Chengzong's strict order prevented the Ming army inside Dalinghe Fort from making any move, the Ming army no longer had the will to fight in their hearts.

    At the same time, Qin Keren ordered people to shoot a letter to the families of the Liaodong generals into the Daling River Fort, telling them how the Taiwanese army treated the people of Liaodong well, hoping that in this way, the Liaodong generals in the fort would be destroyed.  Resistance.

    However, among the more than 300,000 troops this time, nearly 200,000 were troops from other places.  Sun Chengzong relied on these troops whose families were not in Liaodong to suppress the Liaodong generals, so that they did not dare to do anything untoward.

    Qin Keren's heart attack action was not without effect. With the army's morale unstable, starting from the third day of the siege, Sun Chengzong no longer sent troops to break out, but fell into complete silence.

    ¡°But he also didn¡¯t want to think about how long the food and grass in Daling River Fort could support an army of more than 300,000 people. With no hope of reinforcements, once the food and grass were exhausted, Daling River Fort would be self-defeating.

    Sun Chengzong, a famous official who was absolutely loyal to the Ming Dynasty, was besieged in Dalinghe Fort.  Not even the battle report could be sent back.

    However, it is certainly impossible for the Ming army officers and soldiers in Shanhaiguan to know anything about the actions of the Taiwanese army to occupy the area north of Shanhaiguan.

    As soon as the Taiwanese army was discovered, the patrol officer reported the situation to Yang Guo, who was still lying in bed.

    Yang Guo was very happy in his heart, but of course he had to take some action on the surface.  Yang Guo immediately asked one of his generals to lead 10,000 people out of the city to attack Taiwan's defensive positions. The result was self-evident. 10,000 people were left behind before they could reach the enemy's 300-step distance.  More than a thousand corpses escaped.

    In order to make the Ming army in Shanhaiguan more honest, the Taiwanese general who did not know Yang Guo's identity ordered his ten artillery pieces to blast the city wall of Shanhaiguan.  If the city walls of Shanhaiguan were not strong enough, they would probably be blown down.  This was good, as it gave Yang Guo a reason to guard Shanhaiguan closely and resolutely not send troops.

    Yang Guo was lying on the bed and had someone write a battle report for him and send it to the capital immediately.  The letter states that the area north of Shanhaiguan has been completely occupied by Taiwan, and that Sun Chengzong's 360,000-strong army has not been heard from.

    Now that Yang Guo is recovering from his injuries and unable to lead troops in battle, he asks the court to quickly send other generals to Shanhaiguan to take charge of defense.

    Yang Guo¡¯s battle report once again turned the city of Beijing upside down.  At the request of his ministers, Chongzhen issued martial law in the capital for the third time.

    At the same time, on the recommendation of Cheng Jiming, Hong Chengchou, who was fighting the rebellion in Shaanxi, was urgently mobilized to lead the counter-rebellion army to the capital to accept the appointment.

    At the same time, Chongzhen also ordered the Jinyi Guards to find out what happened in the area north of Shanhaiguan?  What happened to Sun Chengzong and the 360,000 troops.

    Because of Xiao Mingqian¡¯s strategy of capturing more than 300,000 troops, Dalinghe Fort has been besieged like this.  But at this time, the 50,000-strong army led by Amin was experiencing a fierce pursuit.

    After evacuating from Yiju, Amin has been feeling uneasy.  For this reason, he sent out all the spies he had in order to discover the more than 10,000 cavalry troops as soon as possible.

    Although Amin was very careful, the other party did not play tricks with him at all.  Not caring at all about the investigation of the spies sent by Amin, they directly rushed towards Amin's large army in a crushing manner.

    So when Amin saw the Taiwanese cavalry, the spy reported the information to him.

    Ten thousand versus fifty thousand. If it were in the past, even the worst Mongolian cavalry would not be afraid of the Han cavalry. However, Amin, who knew that the Taiwanese cavalry was also equipped with muskets, immediately ordered a  Thousands of Mongolian cavalry reared up, while he led the remaining 40,000 cavalry to flee wildly.

    Seeing that the number of cavalry sent by Amin was only 10,000, the cavalry of the two divisions in Taiwan immediately divided into two parts.  One division faced the Mongolian cavalry who had cut off their rear, while the other division bypassed them and pursued Amin's large army.Home.

    Seeing this situation, the Houjin army, including Amin, felt the humiliation they had never experienced before. They immediately stopped and charged the whole army, hoping to take advantage of their numerical advantage and annihilate the six thousand cavalry who were chasing them.

    But the Taiwanese cavalry did not attack them head-on. Instead, when they got close to 300 meters, they fired two rounds with their muskets and then ran away.

    If Hou Jin¡¯s army pursues him, then it¡¯s just right!  During the chase, the Taiwanese cavalry could still take out bullets, load them, and then fire backwards.  If Hou Jin's army doesn't pursue him, then it's a good idea to continue to catch up and peel off a layer of his skin.

    This method, which is most commonly used by the cavalry on the grasslands, is used by the Taiwanese cavalry without any difficulty.  It made Amin's army miserable.

    Sometimes, Amin wants to just ignore it and rush forward, but he won't be so cowardly.  However, in the end, reason prevailed over the passion, which had been poured with ice water several times by Taiwan's strength, and he could only divide the 10,000 Mongolian cavalry again to break up the rear.

    In this way, after chasing for a whole day and losing nearly 20,000 cavalry, Amin got rid of the opponent's pursuit through the darkness of night.

    In fact, at this time, the two cavalry divisions in Taiwan were also exhausted, especially now that they had entered the depths of Hou Jin's sphere of influence. If they continued to pursue, they might be surrounded.

    Without backup, even with muskets, it was very dangerous, so they did not want to continue chasing and directly withdrew to Yiju.

    The large-scale multi-party joint attack on the eastern battlefield of Liaodong ended like this. Within three or four days, the Ming army was surrounded and the Hou Jin army was crippled.

    In this process, in addition to Hou Jin's loss of 40,000 people, the Ming army only lost less than 20,000 people in total. When the Taiwanese army approached the Hou Jin army, 31 soldiers were killed by the Mongols.  He was shot to death by bows and arrows. Apart from the fifty-seven people who died when conquering many cities, and the two hundred and fifteen people who died chasing the retreating army led by Amin, there were no other losses.  Easy as a roll.
