The offensive in Liaodong was launched very smoothly. When the first battalion attacked Liaodong and the third battalion attacked mountainous hilly areas, Duoduo and Jirgalang were attacking Chenyang.

The Zhenglan Banner in the city guarded Chenyang and did not open the city gate at all. There were hundreds of red cannons on the city of Chenyang, but it was the biggest ace of the Zhenglan Banner Gushan E.

Even if Haoge and Daishan died in battle, Huang Taiji was not dead yet! Zhenglan Banner naturally would not open up the cost so easily. If Huang Taiji returns, he will definitely become a siege.

If Huang Taiji cannot come back, Chenyang City has many anti-aircraft artillery and can fully withstand the attacks of Duoduo and Jirgalang, it will not be too late for him to set up another mountain.

For a time, the people within the Qing Dynasty were disintegrated and they made their own plans, so they had no time to take care of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Zhao Yong's first battalion arrived at Xuancheng on the thirteenth day, and on the thirteenth day, he launched an attack on the "Xiuyan" a hundred miles away. Under the fierce firepower of the artillery battalion, a huge gap was blown out in less than ten minutes. The Qing soldiers in the city collapsed. After the first battalion rushed into Xiuyan from the gap, it quickly controlled the entire city.

After capturing Xiuyan, Zhao Yong left 500 men to defend Xiuyan, and then attacked Huanggudao Fort south. Such a small fort could not delay the attack of the First Battalion. Zhao Yong left 1,000 men to deal with the Qing army at Huanggudao Fort, and led a large group of troops to advance southward.

Along the way, Guifu Fort, Hongzui Fort, and Wanghai Fort were all about to go to the fort. The eight banners of the Han army in the fort surrendered when they heard the news. For this reason, Zhao Yong also incorporated more than 3,000 cannon fodder troops.

These surrendered Han army Eight Banners are the most suitable for fighting street battles. Street fighting is a battlefield that can easily cause casualties. All the soldiers of the First Battalion have spent a lot of money to build elite soldiers. It is naturally not very cost-effective to use them for fighting street battles. Except for the sprite soldiers wearing plate armor who have strong survivability in street battles, musketeers generally cannot act alone.

After recruiting thousands of cannon fodder troops, Zhao Yong headed straight to Jinzhou (slightly north of Dalian Wan). The city of Jinzhou City is relatively high, more than three feet tall, and there are more than 5,000 people defending the city, which is different from the small forts and towns before.

"Capture Jinzhou, then the ports of Kenan Pass, Lushun, and Liaodong Peninsula can be put into use. At that time, transporting materials and troops from Longkou to Liaodong will take only half a day to go back and forth, and the flying ships are even faster. At that time, our troops will continue to invest in the Liaodong battlefield." Zhao Yong looked at Jinzhou City and said, "In less than three years, the battle situation in Liaodong will be pacified."

"I'm afraid it's not so fast. I don't know what the young master has to do. According to the General Staff, Liaodong will not be pacified within two years. I also heard that Lao Wang has no chance to get married with Liaodong." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"No! All the people in Shandong are soldiers. Even if the Shandong Army and the Liaodong Army are completely transferred, there is no need to worry about security issues. If Lao Wang doesn't come to Liaodong, where will he go? North Korea?" Zhao Yong asked Lin Yi.

"No, in the combat plan, that boy Wu Yongliang was sent to North Korea. It seems that Lao Wang was going to attack other places, and Chief Liu was not very clear. We will know after a while." Lin Yi just chatted with Liu Heng at the General Staff Department, and Liu Heng was not very clear about where Wang Wenyue's second battalion was going to attack.

"Let's defeat Jinzhou first, let's talk about it. The old rules are that I am responsible for siegeing the city, and you are responsible for intercepting and killing the Qing army in the abandoned city." Zhao Yong said to Lin Yi.

"No problem." Lin Yi said, pulling down the steel cover, then rode his horse out, and took 4,000 cavalrymen to the north of Jinzhou waiting for the Qing soldiers who fled out of the city.

On the wall of Jinzhou City, a Niu Luezhen brought 300 Eight Banners of Manchuria to the wall and urged 5,000 Han army and Eight Banners to fight.

Jinzhou City is located in the narrowest area of ​​the Liaodong Peninsula. It faces the sea on both sides. There is only a passage less than 100 meters to the east. The enemy can only attack from the north gate.

The southern pass is even narrower. No matter who wants to go south, he must pass through the pass. Such a dangerous terrain once made the Qing Dynasty feel like a dog biting a hedgehog and unable to get out of the way.

However, after Mao Wenlong was cut off by Yuan Chonghuan, the morale of the Dongjiang Army was disintegrated, which gave the Qing Dynasty an opportunity to take advantage of. Finally, with the cooperation of Kong Youde, he conquered Lushun and completely solved the thorn in the side of the Liaodong Peninsula.

The Niu Luezhen concentrated all the artillery from Jinzhou City at the north gate, and then pointed to the Ming army under the city with pride and said, "I have hundreds of artillery in Jinzhou City. As long as I have a single arrow, I will not dare to commit those Ming dogs again."

"What Lord Ezhen said is that our Jinzhou City is as solid as a god at this moment, and it is not something that Ming dogs can offend." A Meile Ezhen, who led the Eight Banners of the Han army, said charmingly. Although he is Meile Ezhen, as a Han Chinese, his status is definitely not as good as that of Niu Lue Ezhen of the Eight Banners of the Manchus.

However, among the compliments of everyone, their hearts were a little weak. Looking at the tens of thousands of Ming troops under the city, their hearts were constantly upset.

The news that Dai Shan and Haoge were killed by the Ming army had long been spread throughout Liaodong. How could the Qing army in Jinzhou City not know? It’s just that Niu Lue really wanted to boost morale, and everyone collectively entered an amnesia state.

"I'll check the deployment situation now so as not to give Mingdog an opportunity." The Meleezhen said at this time.

"Go! All those who are afraid of retreating will be beheaded." The Niu Luezhen nodded and said.

When the Meleezhen turned around, the charming smile on her face suddenly disappeared, and a rigid coldness appeared. She glanced at the Niu Luezhen on the city wall and left quickly.

He quickly walked down the city wall and ran towards the city wall. The city walls were all guarded by Han soldiers. The Qing Dynasty only left 300 people in the city. It was impossible for him to come to defend the city wall, but there were more than 20 Eight Banners soldiers in the Manchus supervising the battle.

When a Manchu Eight Banner soldier saw him coming, he focused his attention. Meleezhen quickly walked towards the cave gate, pulled out the Park knife under the gaze of the Manchu Eight Banner soldier, and slashed the Manchu Eight Banner soldier with one knife. The Manchu Eight Banner soldier widened his eyes and looked at the Park knife on his neck in shock. There was a gurgling sound in his throat, and then he fell to the ground with a thunderous sound.

"Take it." The Meleezhen shouted loudly, and more than 30 Han soldiers around him suddenly rose up and chopped down the Eight Banners soldiers in the cave gate to the ground one by one.

The whole process was very sudden, and even the real guard of Melee was a little at a loss. They didn't even know what was going on, and they had no preparation in advance.

"The king's army has arrived. It is my comrade who cut off the rat's tail and tied a red scarf to his head. He killed all Jianlu. The king's army will reward him heavily when he enters the city. If he helps the thief to abuse, the king's army will be severely punished." At this time, a Han soldier suddenly shouted loudly.

Everything came too suddenly. The Han soldiers had no choice at all, and there was no chance to inform them. They cut off the rat tail of the money, took the red scarf from the Han soldiers and tied it to their foreheads.

"Open the city gate." As the Melee really shouted, the city gate suddenly opened with a rattle. In the distance, the artillery battalion, who was about to shell the Jinzhou City, stopped immediately after seeing this.

"It's the special operations brigade, the entire battalion attacks and artillery suppresses it." When Zhao Yong saw the Han soldiers who opened the city gate tied a red scarf on their heads, he immediately understood that it was the result of the Liaodong special operations brigade's rebellion, and quickly ordered an attack.

"Boom boom boom..." The 110 75mm howitzers from the artillery battalion immediately opened fire at the artillery on the city wall, and the charge sounded in an instant.

The three thousand newly recruited Han soldiers rushed towards the north gate of Jinzhou City with shouts. The soldiers of the First Battalion followed closely and also launched an attack on Jinzhou City.

The Qing army artillery on the city wall was collectively silenced under the bombing of howitzers. Three thousand cannon fodder troops and street soldiers of the First Battalion swarmed into the city gates. The city of Jinzhou suddenly fell into panic, and there were only sounds of "killing Tartars" everywhere.

The Han soldiers in the city collectively turned against each other at this moment. The three hundred Manchu Eight Banners soldiers in the city were already flooded by the sea before they could run away.

The original relatively formal siege battle was resolved in less than an hour with the rebellion of the Liaodong Special Forces Brigade. The Han army in the city collectively turned against each other, and all three hundred Manchu Eight Banners soldiers were wiped out.

The name Meile Ezhen was named Li Hai. He was originally named Qian Zong. He was captured by the Qing army when he participated in the Battle of Daling River. Last winter, when the Qing Dynasty expanded the Eight Banners of the Han Army, he became Meile Ezhen.

The Liaodong Special Forces Brigade was very cautious in its activities in Liaodong. After several months of observation, it revealed its identity and successfully instigated Li Hai. Li Hai did not tell the second person about this because he knew that the Han people in Liaodong were too complicated.

The Han people in Liaodong come from all over the north, some were born and raised in Liaodong. If they develop members impatiently, they will easily be reported.

The informant generally has rewards, and not every Han citizen has national ideas to resist the temptation. After a month or two, Li Hai specifically found that the Qing army had destroyed his family and died, and had hatred for the Qing Dynasty. He knew that he was a Han soldier and successfully developed dozens of members.

Finally played a role at this time. With Li Hai's counterattack, the First Battalion seized Jinzhou without any effort.

After Zhao Yong entered Jinzhou, he immediately cleaned up the Manchus in Jinzhou City. All the Manchus in the city were arrested and Han officials were also imprisoned.

The General Staff of the First Battalion posted a notice to comfort the Han people in the city. At the same time, it issued a forbidden order and sent soldiers to patrol the streets.

To fully accept Jinzhou City, you have to wait until the administrators arrive. The First Battalion only conducts preliminary public security management in accordance with the state of war to prevent Jinzhou City from falling into chaos.

After capturing Jinzhou City, the problems of Nanguan and Lushun were much simpler. The Qing army in Jinzhou City, Nanguan and Lushun had no way to go to heaven and no way to escape. At most, a few boats could take some people away.

Zhao Yong attached great importance to the 5,000 Han soldiers who rebeled, and then conducted simple training outside Jinzhou City with the 3,000 Han soldiers who were originally incorporated.

As a unit specially used for street fighting, the first thing to ensure is discipline, otherwise you will rob, kill and annihilate everywhere after entering the city.

Zhao Yong mobilized the Central Education Commission of the Cluster Camp, borrowed some people from the cavalry battalion and artillery battalion, and at the same time, five hundred soldiers were placed in, half as the supervision team, and half as the Han soldiers were in charge of the incorporated Han soldiers, each leading twenty people. Then the Han soldiers were trained on the spot.

Zhao Yong's request for these recruited Han soldiers was to not turn against each other, to abide by discipline in street fighting, and to have no other requirements for combat effectiveness.

Then Zhao Yong led his army south to attack Nanguan and Lushun, while the cavalry battalion stayed in Jinzhou and supported Xiuyan and other places at any time. The first battalion advanced from north to south. If the Qing army attacked, it would be easy to be difficult to deal with. At the same time, the cavalry battalion was responsible for guarding the eight thousand Han soldiers who had just been incorporated.

The First Battalion and the Artillery Battalion broke through the Nanguan with a destruction and devastating force. On March 16th, they defeated Lushun again, annihilated more than 8,000 Qing troops, and collected more than 6,000 more.

Zhao Yong also sent the more than 6,000 people to Jinzhou for training. At present, the First Battalion is responsible for the attack on the West Road and has to defend the city under attack, so the manpower is inevitably insufficient.

Therefore, it is necessary to recruit these Han army Eight Banners soldiers, but these Han army Eight Banners still cannot trust them too much, so they can only use the temporary surname.

After the Liaodong Army arrived in Liaodong, those cities would be left to the Liaodong Army to defend, while the Shandong Army was responsible for the main offensive and combat tasks.

At the same time, Zhao Yong began to ask someone to build a wharf in Dalian Bay and convey the war report to Longkou. After conquering Dalian Bay, it would be much easier to transport troops and supplies to Liaodong in the future.

Just when Zhao Yong attacked Nanguan and Lushun, the Qing Dynasty did not launch any counterattack, which gave Zhao Yong plenty of time. After returning to Jinzhou, he immediately led the 14,000 Han soldiers who were recruited and pointed directly at the front lines of Fuzhou, Yongning and Gaizhou.

After conquering the Western Front, the Liaodong Peninsula was fully controlled. Zhao Yong received the combat order to push the Prince River to stop, and the Hun River to the north of the Prince River, and you can reach Shenyang by crossing the Hun River.

In addition to Fuzhou, Yongning, Gaizhou, the First Battalion also needed to conquer Yaozhou, Haizhou, Anshan and Liaoyang. Anshan is an extremely important area, which is the main source of iron ore for the Qing Dynasty.

The smelting base of the Qing Dynasty was in Anshan. Why could a barbaric and primitive nation erupt such a huge destructive power? The reason is that they absorbed the power of civilization from the hands of the Han people.

They rely on the management of Han officials to obtain food and produce steel and artillery themselves. But as long as they cut off their production, they can be brought back to their original form.

Therefore, Anshan is a strategic area that must be conquered.

... Huang Taiji received news from Jiangbei on the tenth day of March. He rushed all the way and finally arrived in Yizhou on March 13th. Looking up, he saw warships patrolling the river. Every ten miles on the other side was a beacon tower. All signs indicate that Zhenjiang had been captured by the Ming army.

"The Ming army has captured Zhenjiang. What can everyone do to get the army back to Liaodong?" Huang Taiji asked Dorgon, Yue Tuo and others.

"The Master needs no need to worry. The Ming Gou is not enough to block the west. There are more than the west routes to Liao. There are three mountain roads to go to the east." Yue Tuo said, saying that he didn't care about the Ming army's blockade, because in his opinion, it was almost possible for the Ming army to intercept them and return to Liaodong.

"It's extremely. If the Ming army wants to block us in North Korea, it is impossible. Your Majesty, we can make preparations. You can go to the mountain road east first, and I will recruit the Korean people in North Korea. If Your Majesty cannot walk on the mountain road, we will collect the power of the whole North Korea to help our army cross the Yalu River." Dorgon said out of the list.

After listening to Dorgon's suggestion, Huang Taiji thought for a moment, but did not feel any problem, so he nodded and said, "That's it. Ming Dynasty said that our army will return to Liao from the mountain road to the east. Dorgon, you stay in North Korea and prepare to cross the Yalu River."

"Slag." Dorgon knelt down and agreed. The moment he lowered his head, a cold smile appeared on his face. Huang Taiji didn't know what was happening on the north bank, but Dorgon knew it.

When Duoduo evacuated Zhenjiang, he sent more than a dozen small boats to force him to cross the river and deliver him a letter. After receiving the letter, Dorgon cut down all the messengers.

In the whole of North Korea, only Dorgon knew the situation in Liaodong.

The Ming army had launched a large-scale attack on Liaodong, intending to completely block Huang Taiji in North Korea. If it were normal, Dorgon would not dare to make any changes.

But the letter said that Haoge was killed by Ming army artillery and 80,000 troops fell into the hands of Duoduo, which made Dorgon suddenly have various ideas.

The most important thing is to bring the army back to Liaodong.

If you want to leave Huang Taiji, the only way to return to Liaodong with Zhengbai Banner is to take the sea route. Kong Youde's navy could barely load a banner with his men.

Huang Taiji naturally considered going by the sea, but he would not adopt this method until the rest of the plans were shattered. After all, as the emperor, he could not leave his troops behind and run away.

Huang Taiji, who did not understand the changes in Liaodong, naturally would not have thought that Dorgon would want to take the ship first.

After Dorgon wanted to share the tricks, he immediately suggested that he stay in North Korea. As Huang Taiji's backup plan to leave the country, Huang Taiji really agreed.

This backhand is destined to be the ultimate winner.

On March 14th, Huang Taiji led an army of 60,000 to set out, intending to take the Pu'er line and go straight to the old village. Huang Taiji led the army in a hurry. According to Huang Taiji's estimate, even if the Ming army attacked the city and captured the village in Jiangbei, it would not be able to reach Niumao Village in such a short time.

As long as they are in front of the Ming army, the army can successfully cross the Yalu River. If they send people to investigate, they are afraid that the opportunity will be delayed.

When Huang Taiji left, Dorgon rushed to Tieshan without stopping.

Kong Youde was confused and was controlled by Dorgui. Dorgon immediately ordered Zhengbai Banner to board the ship. Zhengbai Banner boarded more than 50 warships, brought some Han soldiers to the ship, and set sail to flee North Korea on March 15th.

As soon as Dorgon left, Kong Youde immediately reported the situation to Huang Taiji.

After hearing Kong Youde's report, Huang Taiji's fat body trembled violently. He let out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

Dorgon's escape caused a huge blow to Huang Taiji. At this moment, no matter how stupid Huang Taiji was, he could think of something that must have happened in Liaodong.

If nothing happened, Dorgon would not dare to lead his troops to leave him and flee North Korea.

When Huang Taiji fainted, the Qing army suddenly stopped and had to station in place. However, the news of Dorgon's escape was as if it had wings and was circulating.

An inexplicable worry spread among the Qing army.

At this time, Li Ran's third battalion had already reached Niumao Village, which was blocked on the route chosen by Huang Taiji.

It was not until three days later that Huang Taiji woke up. As soon as he woke up, Yue Tuo reported to him about the investigation on the eastern mountain road.

"Emperor, Minggou sent troops to North Korea last year and blocked the three mountain roads to the east so that it was blocked. I sent someone to take a dangerous road to the shore and saw Minggou's beacon tower." Yue Tuo reported the situation truthfully.

"Wow..." Huang Taiji vomited blood again and fainted without saying a word.
