Chapter nine hundred and ninety-two: the battle of the wind and haze (2)
There were not many barracks in the Ponu Army under Guangning City. The Prince Guard and Hu Ming Libian Battalion became the main force of the siege. Gao Chenggong and Du Liang's troops only assisted in the attack. In the past, the Ponu Army liked to use the layout of three missing one in the siege. Today, the commander of the Ponu Army used the south and west to attack the city, and let the enemy escape from the east and north. The reason why Zhang Ping'an used such a bold army was that he deliberately did it. Most of the mountains and forests in the east of Guangning City were mountain troops led by Wang Hua, the mountain troops who dared to escape here would definitely fall into the trap set by the Ponu Army. There were five scouts and cavalrymen in the Ponu Army's personal guard camp in the north. If the Guangning defenders wanted to break through, they were more attacked by the Ponu Army's cavalry here than the side attacks of the Ponu Army's cavalry here. No army could escape. What's more, the scouts cavalry here was the first-class strong army of the Ponu Army.
This Guangning offensive battle seemed to be coming in full force, but in fact, the commander Zhang Ping'an felt deeply helpless. After the decisive battle in Wutuzu Grassland, the Pouzu Army was full of fatigue. The years of war in the south and north made the backbone of the Pouzu Army feel tired of war, and Zhang Ping'an was most afraid of destroying the new soldiers. Fortunately, the Pouzu Army had Hu Ming and Zhang Li, two hobby meat who liked military achievements, and they encouraged their subordinates to obtain military achievements, Zhang Ping'an also had less verbal talk. After this Guangning battle, Zhang Ping'an planned to temporarily attack the Jiannu, accumulate strength and material to prepare for a decisive battle next year. Therefore, he ordered the deputy commander Chen Zheng in the north to send a small mountain troops into the mountains and forests, search for the small Jurchen tribe in the Hassan Wen Mountains and annihilate it.
In fact, Zhang Ping'an was not very concerned about this siege battle. The artillery commander Yang Meimei even slapped her chest and beat Guangning City. Yang Meimei expressed her statement to scold Zhang Ping'an. Guangning City will be a place to attack the food garrison in the hinterland of Liaodong in the future. The artillery team will do a place to attack Guangning's hinterland. The artillery team will do a lot of money to rebuild. For this reason, Zhang Ping'an issued a military order to Chief of Staff Gu Xin. The staff planning to attack Guangning can only use artillery to bombard the southern city gate, and other city gates must be kept intact. For this reason, Yang Meimei placed the artillery fifteen heavy artillery three miles south gate of Guangning, and the four hundred crossbow cannon boxes on both sides of the city gate to build a supporting firepower position. One hundred and eighty five-pound cannons were placed behind the heavy artillery position. As long as the heavy artillery opened the battle gap, the firepower extension support here can be extended. Zhang Ping'an, the head coach of the artillery formation arranged by Yang Meimei, was very satisfied with Zhang Ping'an, and Yang Meimei fully understood his combat intention.
Based on the intelligence tortured by Guangning Rangers captured by scouts from various departments, the Po Nu Army learned that the Guangning garrison was Zu Dashou, the general of Ningyuan who had surrendered to Jiannu, and the accurate intelligence that only 7,000 Guangning garrisons had only 7,000 troops. Zhang Ping'an looked down on this Guangning garrison, and he found an opportunity to make the Ming court look ugly. As the Po Nu Army was strong, Zhang Ping'an, the ambition of the Ming puppet vassal Duke of Huaguo, also expanded. Even the bandit leader Li Zicheng dared to establish a capital, claiming to be "Fengtian and righteous."
Grand Marshal, a little follower Luo Rucai dared to be called "the general of the power and virtue of the people on behalf of the heavens." These bandit leaders were either marshals or generals, with a territory of only two, and there were Xiangjing, the capital of thousands of miles in three provinces. He was the commander of the Po Nu Army, who controlled hundreds of thousands of miles of territory. His territory was now even wider than that of the Ming Dynasty, but he was so frustrated that he had to endure the title of a great marshal. This was because the Po Nu City Xuanwei envoy had the nominal sect leader of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty.
As a time traveler, Zhang Ping'an knew the direction of the historical car. But the wings of his birdman's flapping randomly have changed most of history. To gain a foothold in this dark and chaotic world, more wisdom is needed. From the heart, the Manchu Jurchens, the biggest enemy of Han culture, must be eradicated. With this premise, Zhang Ping'an devoted himself to the Ming Civil War. As he grew older, Zhang Ping'an had his own direction for the future. He wanted to intensify the Ming Civil War and eliminate many insurmountable obstacles in the future. First of all, it was to shake the orthodox position of the Ming court, which required everyone to see the corrupt nature of the Ming court and win the hearts of everyone in the Ming area. For this reason, he sent someone to report the Guangning combat strategy of the slave army to the court, and use this arrangement to lure Emperor Chongzhen and important officials in the court to make mistakes.
In this memorial, Zhang Ping'an clearly stated that the Guangning garrison was the rebellious general of the Ming army, and asked the court to give a strategy for the handling. The pit that Zhang Ping'an dug was quite large. The Zu family had already controlled nearly 60% of the border troops in Liaodong, and the Shanhaiguan garrison Wu Sangui was the nephew of Zu Dashou. If the Ming court wants to stabilize the border, it must appease Wu Sangui, a general with heavy troops. On the other hand, Liao Sheng is still a severely affected area for corruption among Ming officials. In order to protect his interests in Liao Sheng, these officials must spare no effort to protect Zu Dashou, the head of the family. With these factors, even Emperor Chongzhen wanted to punish Zu Dashou, but had to compromise due to the numerous obstacles in the court. Zhang Ping'an himself had a personal grudge with the Zu family. This contradiction has been extended from the year of the Tianqi period to the present. Zhang Ping'an had an open reason to capture Zu Dashou and kill or shave it to the court.
However, the living Zu Dashou is far better than the dead. Zhang Ping'an can use Zu Dashou, a rebel general, to set off a new round of political storm in the Ming Dynasty. He alienated scholars who had a sense of justice in the court and the Ming Dynasty. This is also a political need for Zhang Ping'an to attack Guangning. War is always a continuation of politics. As Zhang Ping'an issued an offensive order, the artillery team of the Possess Army first fired fire. However, the artillery battle in Guangning made the artillery leader Yang Meimei feel very aggrieved. Zhang Dashe sent a messenger to issue another order to bombard the southern gate of Guangning, that is, after each round of artillery bombardment, he had to wait until Zheng Zhang's new order to fire. This order that completely did not conform to the rules of the battlefield really made Sister Yang very angry. Several war experiences told the Possess Army that Zhang Dashe was always extremely correct in the war. Sister Yang did not dare to disobey Zheng Zhang's military orders.
Guangning South Gate was damaged by war many times, although its foundation was not as good as Chu Jian after repairing it. After the guard general Zu Dashou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was given 3,000 taels of silver by Huang Taiji, and was granted Meile Zhangjing official position and was given to the Han army's inlaid yellow flag. The amount of silver given by Emperor Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty was not enough for Zu Dashou's playful military pay in February, but the situation was critical at that time Zu Dashou chose to save his life or be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and chose to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. This path was chosen by people themselves.
When Zu Dashou faced the siege of the Slave Army, he had no idea of loyalty for the new master of the Qing Dynasty. It was just that Zu Dashou's opponent was his enemy, Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Slave Army, which forced Zu Dashou to make plans to close the city gate and resist stubbornly. Zu Dashou knew very well that the Duke of China Zhang Ping'an was a sinister personality and had always used bloody revenge against the enemy. When he opened the city gate and surrendered, he would definitely be skinned or cut into pieces by Zhang Ping'an, which made Zu Dashou dare not surrender easily.
The general of Guangning, Zu Dashou, was guilty, and the soldiers under his command were even more frightened. The battle flag of the Fox Wolf appeared in the battle flag of the Pou Nu Army, which shows that the commander of the Pou Nu Army Zhang Ping'an personally came to the front line to supervise the battle. Now Guangning is almost an empty city. Except for the few old and weak people who cannot walk in the city, almost all of Ningyuan surrendered to the Ming army in the past. He was driven away by Du Du, the leader of the Inlaid White Banner, to defend the city, and was cursed by Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pou Nu Army, and no one dared to drive the people to the city wall again. These defenders knew that once the fox Wolf was considered to be beyond its psychological bottom line, the fox Wolf Zhang Ping'an would have to destroy the nine clans. Many of them had the name of the Duke of China. If the fox Wolf forced the court to hand over the spies of the common surrender, the Ming court would not be able to stand up for these ordinary surrendered Ming army.
To this end, most of the defenders were ready to surrender again. According to the convention, the enemy must use rocks to siege the city gate. The main general Zu Dashou also issued relevant military orders, but none of the Guangning defenders obeyed the orders. The defenders were smart. They wanted to see if there were any conditions for the Possess Army to make meritorious service. The Possess Army bombarded the southern gate of Guangning City with heavy artillery, and one of them was 10 kilograms* to accurately hit the central and southern city gates. The huge explosion tore the thick wooden door and the black holes of the city gate left a ground with residual fire.
Fragments. The ruined city gate arrow tower was flattened, and the collapsed arrow tower beams were scattered on both sides of the city wall. The damaged gap in the outer wall tells the story of the sharp artillery of the Pou Nu Army. After the bombardment of the Pou Nu Army's artillery stopped, a Guangning cavalry captured by the Pou Nu Army came alone from the Pou Nu Army's artillery formation, and he brought hope to make the Guangning defenders survive. The Duke of the Ming Dynasty issued a reward order to capture the rebel general Zu Dashou alive, and avoid the death penalty for the entire Ming Dynasty's Southern Zhili family to obtain a registered reward of 500 taels of gold at the same time. The person who killed Zu Dashou was buried with him.
The military order of the commander of the Pou Nu Army Zhang Ping'an was obviously to ask Zu Dashou to live. This military order was passed to Guangning and caused a mutiny among the defenders. Zu Dashou's war was basically copied from the Ming Dynasty, relying on 300 family members to shock the soldiers. Last year, his confidants were killed and injured in Jinzhou. Among the 7,000 defenders in Guangning, 90% of the officers and soldiers wanted to survive under the attack of the Pou Nu Army. In addition, Zu Dashou sent his servants to the city wall to supervise the battle, and the defenders on the city wall were still alive.
After the order of the General Zhang of the Po Nu Army, they cut and killed Zu Dashou's servants, and then rushed into the Guangning Prefecture Office in a swarm to capture him. Soon, the Zu flag flying on the top of the Guangning city was cut by the mutinous soldiers, and thousands of mutinous soldiers escorted Zu Dashou and six Jialazhang Jingfu officers to surrender. This time, the Po Nu Army used only fifteen heavy artillery* to win the victory of occupying the important city of Guangning.
Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pou Slave Army who was leisurely fighting outside the city, told him his credit. He did not kill Guangning surrendered Ming army, but took out gold to fulfill his promise, which made the commander Hu Ming a little distrust his eyes. Regarding the captives who surrendered to Guangning, General Zhang ordered them to be escorted to Ningyuan City and sent these people to Taiwan camp. As for more than a dozen general officers who mutinied Zu Dashou, Zhang Ping'an even personally came out to appease and sent them to Nanzhili for resettlement. With Zu Dashou's good guy, Zhang Ping'an immediately called Qu Guozheng, the chief commander of the Intelligence Department, and Xie Xun, the new general supervisor of the General Office of the General Office, to discuss how to dig a pit for the Ming Dynasty next. Unexpectedly, a new urgent report disrupted Zhang Ping'an's overall arrangement. The scout reported that the big flag of the Emperor Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty appeared in Xining Fort.
