1425 The end is near
This is not because Yang Jingfa is excited. What restricts the development of Shandong cavalry now is not to train enough cavalry, but to lack enough war horses!
Although Liu Pei started to build a horse farm and cultivate herds eleven or two years ago, and actively purchased war horses from outside, how could he expand enough war horses in such a short time? What's more, no more than half of the horses are truly qualified to be war horses! The rest can only be converted into pack horses! This further reduces the number of cavalry war horses!
Then remove the disabled and killed in battle in the battle. The gap in the war horses is not very large! So Yang Jingfa was naturally very excited when he heard Liu Pei’s tone!
Liu Pei said: "Yes, you guessed it almost the same! But it's not to buy it, but to grab it!"
Yang Jing was stunned for a moment when he heard this and said, "Give it? Where to grab it? Go and grab the Mongolians?"
Liu Pei nodded and said, "That's right! It's just the robbery of the Mongols! These Mongols have always been enemies of our Ming Dynasty, but they have a large number of war horses in their hands and are unwilling to sell them to us, so we'll rob them!"
Yang Jingfa was excited when he heard this! He immediately stood up and said, "Master, when will we do it? I will choose someone now!"
Liu Pei waved his hand and signaled him to sit down and said, "No hurry. This matter will be done after we take over Jiubian."
Yang Jingfa was a little discouraged when he heard this! But he thought again that the war in Liaodong was about to end and the main force would be transferred back to the country soon. It should not be difficult to accept Jiubian. So he relaxed and said, "Okay, then let's follow the arrangements of the Grandmaster."
Liu Pei nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, this matter is decided! You can consider the candidates and tactics during this period. Moreover, I just received the notice that another 4,000 war horses were sent from the horse farm, and the recruits battalion also added 3,000 cavalrymen! They are about to arrive at Shanhaiguan to meet with us. You can arrange someone to take them over!"
Hearing the addition, Yang Jingfa couldn't help but smile and nodded repeatedly! The two discussed the next arrangements for the cavalry troops. Liu Pei entered the preparations for the attack on Jinzhou.
After Liu Pei retreated through the Xiaoling River, he has been preparing to enter.
The work of attacking Jinzhou has now entered its final stage.
During the time he left Jinzhou, the fleet sent heavy artillery to attack the city! These 20 heavy artillery played a huge role, breaking the walls of Jinzhou City into pieces! Moreover, other artillery also helped, resulting in the continuous sound of cannons outside Jinzhou City every day!
After many days of shelling, the walls of Jinzhou City were already shaking! Moreover, during this period, the left-behind troops had completely filled the moat outside Jinzhou City, and the roads had also been simple rest and recuperated. Now the siege is a smooth road!
During this period, Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou organized troops to break through many times, but they were all beaten back! When the battle between Linghe was over, Wu Sangui sent people to send letters to surrender several times, but they were rejected by the garrison officers without hesitation! His reason was that the general was not here and he did not dare to make decisions about such things!
In fact, this is not because he dared not make decisions without authorization. Because the officers stationed in the garrison are the chief officials of the whole place and have great power! The reason why he did not accept the surrender letter was because Liu Pei had a clear explanation that these people led by Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou must die! There is no room for negotiation!
After they came out, even officers at all levels in the Guanning Army would consider different punishments based on the role they played in surrender! The reason was that Liu Pei wanted to set a benchmark for everyone: "Those who surrender to the alien race will die!"
Now the city of Jinzhou is full of miserable mist! From top to bottom, I feel that this battle will not have any other result! Now they no longer believe that Dorgon will come to rescue them! Now they are just struggling to survive!
Wu Sangui and others have already had some speculations about their fate. But they feel that they still have tens of thousands of elite soldiers in their hands and feel that they still have value in their use, so they just hold the last glimmer of hope. Or they simply think that they are about to die, and they always have to take the blame!
On this day, Wu Sangui led his men to patrol the city with his armor. This is not Wu Sangui's diligence, but that he had to go out for patrol!
Since being surrounded by Jinzhou, the atmosphere in the city has been not very good! Especially after everyone knows that Wu Sangui was rejected by surrender, his morale plummeted!
This atmosphere of despair has been passed on to ordinary soldiers and the people.
Nowadays, there are fights and fights happening every day in Jinzhou City, and the military discipline is gone! Everyone is thinking of living day by day, and they are scrambling to spend every day!
If Wu Sangui and his friends had not controlled the 20,000 core army, the city of Jinzhou might have been in a mess long ago! Or they might have simply killed each other and opened the city gate to surrender!
Wu Sangui rode on the horse, looking at the dejected soldiers on the street, worried. If he continues like this, the people's hearts will disperse before the battle is fought!
The subsequent inspection was quite smooth. All the soldiers knew that Wu Sangui came out to inspect and naturally became quiet. Wu Sangui walked around a long circle and saw that nothing extra happened, so he prepared to go home.
While walking on the road, personal soldiers came and said that Shandong soldiers outside the city were moving, and it seemed that some big shots came out to watch the battlefield!
Wu Sangui was shocked when he heard this! This situation only means one thing, that is, Shandong soldiers outside the city are ready to take action! Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "Take me to see!"
When he followed his personal soldiers and hurried up to the city wall, he looked into the distance. He saw that there was indeed a large group of people in the distance outside the city surrounded by soldiers, pointing at the city wall. Although there was no sign to determine the identity of these people, Wu Sangui was definitely sure that the person surrounded in the middle was definitely Liu Pei, the general officer of Shandong!
Liu Pei's sudden appearance made Wu Sangui a little surprised! When he was besieged in the city at first, Wu Sangui thought that Liu Pei would continue to be besiege Jinzhou, but he observed that Liu Pei's handsome flag disappeared in the camp outside the city.
At that time, he thought he had a chance and thought that Liu Pei had gone to deal with the Qing army, so he led his army to fight over and over again, but completely failed! But now that Liu Pei suddenly appeared here, it only means one thing, that is, the reinforcements of the Qing army were defeated or blocked! And no matter what the situation is happening now, it is not good news for him!
