Chapter 1643 The Battle of Linhuai (1)
These two people who should have been particularly jealous of the enemy when they met, quickly gained the initial tacit understanding because of the killing of Ai Songgu. Both sides did not even say hello, but instead ordered their troops to attack the Qing army in the key pass.
Now, the morale of the Qing army in the key pass disappeared.
As Han people, they finally remembered their identity that they had pretended to be unknown or forgotten.
With the emergence of surrender, the key barriers were defeated without any attack.
Those who ask surrender to kill their "comrades" are definitely more cruel than Guangxinwei!
At this point, you can imagine the result of the first battle in Fengyang Mansion.
Liu Tiren paid the price of nearly 2,000 casualties in the two battles, and captured two key passes of Yuan Feixiong and Yingwu. As a result, there was no longer a built-in enemy army south of Fengyang City.
Ajige was originally confident in trying to fight Liu Tiren for an annihilation battle, but he was defeated by himself. Not only did a thousand cavalry almost wipe out all of them, but the main general Ai Song Gudu died on the spot.
What made Ajige most angry was that Jiang Yan actually brought 10,000 Han troops to the enemy camp. The losses caused by one reduction and the other increase were not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Of course, Jiang Yan actually brought not so many people, only about 60% because there were more than 2,000 corpses lying on the way here.
But no matter what, in Fengyang Mansion, Ajige completely crushed Guangxin Guard's military strength advantage, and its foundation has begun to shake.
You should know that the Ajige's banner army had less than 10,000 people, and was known as a 100,000 army. In fact, the main body was the former Xuzhou garrison, and the components of this garrison were even more complicated. It was a hodgepodge of Qingming troops from various groups in Henan, Shaanxi, and even Shandong.
Jiang Yan's rebellion gave the army a "very bad" beginning.
This made Ajige vigilant. Naturally, with his temper, the easiest way was to monitor, encircle and remove the military power of the Han generals.
But in this way, the morale of the army in Fengyang City became even more floating.
....
Compared to Liu Tiren's luck, Li Guo was chewing on a tough slap.
Not only are there hard bones, but also leg bones, no flesh, bare stems, and even if the teeth are not good, the front teeth will be broken.
Ajige has a general named Bayan.
When you hear the names, you all think they are Manchu or Mongolian people, but he is a Han man, at least 70% of them, and he is of the blood of the Han people.
Bayan's father Li Yongfang was both famous and well-known traitors. It can be said that he set a precedent for the Ming Dynasty to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
Li Yongfang was originally a guerrilla general of the Ming Dynasty stationed in Fushun Border Army. During the Wanli period, Nurhaci was summoned by a letter of intimidation and temptation. After he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Nurhaci did not break his promise. Not only did he be appointed as the third-class deputy general, but he also married the daughter of Bele Abatai.
When he followed Nurhaci to attack the Ming Dynasty, he had been appointed as the third-class general officer.
Therefore, Bayan no longer regarded himself as a Han Chinese, and was ashamed of being a Han Chinese bloodline in private.
In this way, it is especially fierce when fighting with the Ming army and killing the Han people. It seems that only in this way can the blood of the Han people on him be washed.
It was Bayan's ruthlessness towards the Han people that Manchus really regarded him as his own person.
Ajige trusted Bayan very much, so he led Bayan to lead 12,000 people to Linhuai to serve as a supporter.
Li Guo has not brought many people, less than 10,000 people.
Fortunately, the soldiers are raising their energy in Baodi these days, and their morale is still rising.
So as soon as he arrived outside Linhuai City and was slightly purged, Li Guo brazenly issued an order to attack the city.
But Li Guo ignored one thing, that is, as the acropolis of Fengyang City, how could Linhuai have no reaction to Li Guo's army attacking?
At least we should have to find out that the scouts should be warned to the south... If we don't use the city walls, we should send more guards to the city.
But now there are still regular patrols on the city wall, and it seems that they are missing the approaching Guangxin Satellite TV.
In this case, even if it is a battlefield chick, you should be alert.
But Li Guo ignored it and ordered the siege of the city.
Is Li Guo stupid?
Actually, it’s not stupid. People have to make a choice when they arrive at every fork in the road.
When Li Guo started, he really wanted to preserve his strength. His Guangxin Guard had grown to nearly 50,000 troops. If he was placed in any area that was not the main battlefield, he would be a local emperor, or at least a prince.
Li Guo was indeed a little unwilling to fight for Wu Zheng. It was not that Li Guo looked down on Wu Zheng, but that Li Guo believed that if he wanted him to serve his life, he would at least be the future emperor.
Unfortunately, Wu Zheng is becoming less and less meaningless. Although Li Guo is puzzled, he has the truth that it is not about himself and he is willing to hold on. What does other people’s intentions have to do with him?
So, Li Guo thought about living under Wu Zheng, watching the changes and planning for the future.
But Wu Zheng suddenly went to Jiangxi, which not only failed Li Guo's plan, but also killed his eldest son.
Did Li Guo really not hold a grudge in his heart?
Hate or hate. Even if the eldest son was not killed by Wu Zheng, he could not escape the relationship.
But this kind of hatred has not risen to the point of being mortal. After all, it is suicide. If a person wants to die, no one can stop him, right?
Regarding Ajige, Li Guo had no idea of surrendering from the beginning to the end. Everything was empty, but there was no lack of sincerity in the empty, so how could it be said that it was to be content with the status quo. It would be best if both sides were at peace and had to fight, and others would beat them.
But Wu Zheng's order completely cut off Li Guo's idea of stepping on two ships, which was equivalent to blocking Guangxinwei's retreat.
In other words, either follow the order to attack, or become a rebel.
Li Guo and Liu Tiren made a choice, and the two evils were the least. Instead of reciting the original intention, it was better to fight to the death.
Killing the Tartars is the original intention!
Since you have made a choice, the next question will be decided. Retreat is a dead end, and advance is also a dead end. It is better to die on the way forward, and you can also gain a reputation in history and make contributions to the Guangxinwei who will be in the high-yield era, so that Guangxinwei can gain a place in the Northern Expedition Army.
It’s not that Li Guo is not sure that things are abnormal and will become demons, but he has no choice. He has already had a passive and lazy battle before. If he is passive and lazy now, then... his reputation will be in vain for a lifetime, how can he be willing to be willing?!
He was preparing to fight a desperate battle and show the power of Zhongzhen Camp, so that Wu Zheng and all the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army could see that Zhongzhen Camp was also a loud and desperate man. This... was the real reason why Li Guo ignored it and ordered the siege to attack the city.
Bayan was born in a military family and fought on the battlefield for many years, and his command was determined.
Just imagine, a Han man who was only thirty years old had become the first-class count of the Qing Dynasty. How many military achievements had he made?
In other words, how many Han people have died under his command over the years?
Compared to the bravery of the Tartars, Bayan has a little more cunning.
He is like a wolf on the grassland, vicious and deceitful.
