    ,

    The guard of Liaoyang is called Shuo Zhan.

    This person was born in Zhenghongqi, and inherited his father's position Jiala Ezhen, similar to Zhao Han's regiment leader, who can command 1,500 people.

    After entering the customs, Dorgon appointed Shuo Zhan as Meile Zhangjing, which means deputy general.  He still has only 1,500 soldiers under his command, but all areas from Shanhaiguan to Liaoyang belong to his military jurisdiction.

    Shuo Zhan only had 50 Manchurian Eight Banners in his hands, and the remaining soldiers were all distributed in the countryside. He needed to regroup to fight.

    The Manchu army has always been like this, returning to the countryside when not fighting, managing their own farms, and practicing combat skills by the way.  Only when going out for an expedition or concentrated drills, did they go to a fixed location to gather, which is more similar to Zhao Han's peasant and soldier system.

    Therefore, despite the fact that there are only 50 Manchurian Eight Banners in Liaoyang, 1,500 Eight Banners can actually be recruited within a few days-after the army was taken away by Dorgon, there were only so many people left.

    Haizhou can also call up troops, but Wu Huapu's cavalry rushed too fast.  A large number of Manchurian Eight Banners scattered in the countryside were killed or their thumbs were cut off before they received the order to gather troops.  There are also several teams of cavalry, cruising around Haizhou City, specially intercepting and killing the Eight Banners soldiers who came spontaneously.

    So Haizhou City was quickly occupied by the Datong Army!

    However, Liaoyang learned of the enemy's situation in advance, and now has gathered more than 200 troops, and another 100 Eight Banners soldiers of the Han Army assisted.

    But Shuo Zhan still didn't dare to go out of the city, because the Datong cavalry had already killed them.

    On the field where the spring grass has recovered, dozens of Manchurian Eight Banners rushed to Liaoyang City after receiving the order to gather troops.  Among them, there were twelve horsemen and thirty-seven infantrymen.  They also have coats to follow, which belong to combat coats. They help the master lead the horse, carry the gun and carry the equipment. When fighting, they can turn into civilian husbands, or they can charge forward as auxiliary soldiers.

    "Woooooooooooooo!"

    The sentinel on the hill, observing with a telescope, quickly blew the horn.  The more than 300 Tong cavalry in charge of this area quickly gathered to kill them.

    The main general of the Qing Dynasty was blocked in the city, and only middle and low-level officers came from outside the city, and several small troops had been intercepted and killed.

    Shuo Zhan stood on the tower, watching anxiously.

    He once sent more than a dozen cavalrymen to various villages to pass orders to tell the Eight Banners Army not to refuel and rush to the city, but to rush to Shenyang to gather troops and kill them.  But after these cavalry left the city, they were intercepted and killed by Datong cavalry ten times larger than themselves, and only two of them broke through the encirclement quickly by relying on horses.

    At this moment, three hundred Datong cavalry quickly surrounded a small group of enemy troops.

    When they were far away, they lit the match, loaded the ammunition and prepared to attack.

    The other 300 Datong cavalry gradually approached in this direction, in case Shuo Zhan led troops out of the city to rescue.

    12 Manchurian horse troops and 37 Manchurian infantry troops, plus their coats, numbered nearly a hundred.  Surrounded in the wild like this, Ma Jun even put on cotton armor in an emergency, and tried to distance himself to escape after getting on his horse.

    It's fine if they don't wear armor, but they really can't escape with armor on.

    In order to reduce weight, Datong dragoons don't wear any armor to ensure their speed.

    I saw these Datong cavalry, only 50 cavalry were left to guard the enemy infantry, and the rest all went to kill the enemy cavalry.  250 riders chased and intercepted 12 riders. There was no need to dismount and fire guns. After approaching, they reined in their horses and shot.

    After fighting for a while, three people were killed by firecrackers, and eight people were besieged in close combat. Only one Manchurian cavalry was still running away.

    The Datong cavalry circled back again, dismounted and lined up to fire guns at the remaining enemy infantry.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    The packers were so frightened that they all fell to the ground and surrendered, but they effectively avoided the salvo of firecrackers.

    These Manchurian infantry soldiers would be surrounded and killed if they fled scattered, and they would be shot when they gathered.  There was no way to fight at all, so he had to bite the bullet and charge. After a round of charge, he was killed and half injured by muskets.

    When the survivors charged a little closer, the team of Datong dragoons ran away, and another team of dragoons started shooting from the side.

    Unable to fight, the Manchurian infantry finally had a nervous breakdown and ran desperately towards Liaoyang City.

    The Datong dragoons caught up and surrounded them with knives at their waists.

    Actually killed the remaining few, threw away their weapons and surrendered.  The Datong army was unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. They stripped off their cotton armor, took away their weapons, cut off their thumbs and let them enter the city.

    Shuo Zhan was disgusted by this behavior. He had taken in hundreds of Manchurian soldiers who had lost their thumbs, and some of them had been sent back from Haizhou on purpose.

    These people can't draw bows and arrows, and can't hold swords, guns and shields steadily, so they are completely useless.

    Moreover, news was brought from Haizhou, saying that Haoge and Dorgon had internal strife, and the Qing army was killed and defeated.  Beijing has been besieged, and Shanhaiguan has been attacked.sp;Shuo Zhan said: "Han people and North Koreans cannot enter the city, they are likely to defect!"

    "Yes, except for the loyal coat, the Han and North Koreans are not allowed to enter the city!" Ahanikan agreed.

    Tens of thousands of Han and Korean people were abandoned in the countryside without even a single grain of food.

    Some Manchus simply killed all the serfs at home when they moved out of the farm.

    Wu Huapu rushed back to Liaoyang to report: "General, there are thousands of defenders in Shenyang, and it is impossible to take it in a short time. They are afraid of defecting. Han and Koreans are not allowed to enter the city. Even the Eight Banners of the Han army are out of the city to set up camp.  In the city of Shenyang, apart from the Manchurians, there are only coats.¡±

    Hu Dinggui laughed and said, "Then we won't fight Shenyang. The cavalry went to recruit Han Chinese and Koreans to move westward, and they all moved to Gaizhou, Fuzhou, and Jinzhou to farm. In addition, they went outside Shenyang to shout, saying that Dorgon had already  Defeated, the 500,000 Datong army is about to come to Shenyang. Let¡¯s scare them, it will take a lot of time to take away the people, lest the enemy army in Shenyang come out to make trouble.¡±

    Hu Dinggui said to Wang Yaochen: "Order North Korea to collect grain again, and the price can be raised by 10%. If it doesn't work, we can only go to Jiangsu to urge grain. There are too many people to be resettled this time."

    Hu Dinggui really stopped fighting in Shenyang. He evacuated Haizhou and Liaoyang, and took away tens of thousands of people from Shenyang.

    Although the stronghold of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has not been breached, it has become a piece of white ground.

    When leaving, the city walls of Haizhou and Liaoyang also collapsed with gunpowder, and they can come back to seize the city at any time in the future.

    By the way, in Liaodong, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, pastures can be opened up to raise horses!

    It wasn't until Hu Dinggui moved everyone out and returned to Gaizhou safely that Dorgon finally received the news that his hometown had been hacked.

    (It's gone today. ?
