Chapter 2853
During the long-term confrontation, the Man Qing saw clearly the shortcomings of the Haihan army, and tried to disrupt the Haihan army's offensive by defending the strong city and raiding supplies.However, the Haihan army also realized the Achilles heel of the Manchus. As long as they concentrated their forces to attack Shenyang City, they could force the Manchus to continuously put their limited armed forces on the battlefield, saving the trouble of sweeping and chasing them.
At that time, the Qing army had the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the Han Army Banner. Although it had suffered a lot in previous battles, the Qing court still had tens of thousands of soldiers ready to fight.It's just that the Haihan army's direct attack on Huanglong was so powerful that the Qing army had lost all the battlefield space to move around, and was forced to confront Haihan head-on under the city of Shenyang.
The firepower of the Haihan army used against the strong fortifications may not have an immediate effect, but if it is used against the flesh and blood of the Qing army, it is pure killing.
The Qing army expected to drag down the Haihan army with round-the-clock wheel battles. Although it also had a certain effect, each offensive had to pay ranging from dozens to hundreds of casualties.The so-called Manchu iron cavalry was completely consumable, and its battle damage was so great that many elderly military military officers of the Qing army recalled the tragedy of attacking the Isthmus defense line in Jinzhou.
As a result of the Qing army filling the front with human lives, its military strength was rapidly depleted with an average of thousands of casualties per day.The large number of wounded soldiers in turn put a huge burden on the Qing army's logistics. Not only was there a serious shortage of medical personnel, but it was also impossible to raise enough medicine to treat the wounded in a short period of time.
Out of consideration of their own interests, the warring parties are unwilling to let this bloody battle end in a quick way.As a result, the battlefield on the north bank of the Hun River has become a flesh and blood mill, with the offensive and defensive sides constantly dispatching troops and sending troops to the battlefield.
However, the victory of the Haihan army is that it is well-equipped, has high morale, and is commanded by several senior generals with rich experience in fighting with the Qing army. Therefore, although the front line is advancing slowly, the results of the battle are not bad. Control the gap of more than ten times.If the fight continues like this, it will only be a matter of time before the tens of thousands of elite Qing troops who can jump around under the city of Shenyang are exhausted.
When Chen Yixin said this, everyone had already crossed the Hun River and arrived outside Shenyang City. The local civil and military officials had been waiting by the official road for a long time.Although the young people haven't listened to the story yet, it is obviously not the time to continue listening to the story. It is time to tidy up and meet the local officials.
Although it has been two years since Haihan signed an armistice agreement with the Qing Dynasty, the surrounding areas of Shenyang still retain the wartime military control system, and all local affairs are managed by the garrison headquarters.Currently serving as the chief military officer in the Shenyang area is Sun Zhen, a general under Qian Tiandun's command.
Sun Zhen was born in Dengzhou, Shandong. After the Denglai Rebellion broke out, he fled to Haihan and joined the army in a daze.With a good body and excellent military talent, he quickly stood out in the army and was recruited by Qian Tiandun to serve under his command.After that, he participated in many combat operations such as the Battle of Jinzhou, the Battle of Aid Korea, and the Battle of Manila.
In the combat operations against Shenyang, Sun Zhen also did not disappoint. The troops under his command inflicted heavy damage on the Qing army many times, creating conditions for Haihan to finally break through the city.
After the battle of Shenyang, Sun Zhen stayed and stationed here.When Qian Tiandun left Liaodong, he let Sun Zhen stay here and appointed him as the commander of the garrison in Shenyang, and at the same time in charge of local administrative and civil affairs.
For Sun Zhen, who was born as a commoner, it was his good fortune to become a member of one party, and Qian Tiandun gifted him this wealth, which is worthy of his contribution in the army for so many years.
Although Bai Letong and Ning Zijing met Sun Zhen for the first time, this name was no stranger to them, and they both said "Long Admire" sincerely, their admiration was beyond words. .They read some Liaodong battle reports from the newspapers when they were young, and Sun Zhen was a well-known figure who often appeared.Even in the textbooks used in government-run schools today, there are texts written with Sun Zhen as the prototype.
Chen Yixin also made no secret of how much he attached to Sun Zhen, and said in front of everyone: "Marshal Qian has a lot of powerful generals, but the one that makes me most envious is Gao Qiaonan, and the other is Sun Zhen."
Sun Zhen quickly responded: "Master Chen is too flattering. How can he be compared with General Takahashi for such a humble job."
Chen Yixin said with a smile: "You don't have to be modest, you can't praise someone with a military medal that weighs a lot!"
Sun Zhen was nearly fifty years old at this time, and his actions were not as aggressive as when he was young, and his speech was very calm.But even so, several young people can still feel the coercion emanating from him. This is not their illusion, and only generals who have killed countless people in half their lives will have such a special temperament.
After a few polite words, Sun Zhen called out a young man behind him and introduced him to everyone.
Bai Letong thought this person was the descendant of Sun Zhen's nephew, but it turned out to be the Zhu's son whom they hadn't seen since they came to Liaodong.
"My lord, Zhu Ziwu, I have met all of you adults!" Although this dark-skinned young man was wearing a Haihan military uniform, he did not make a military salute, but clasped his hands together in salute.
Bai Letong took a closer look, and sure enough, his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Zhu Zian's, but his skin color was several degrees darker than Zhu Zian's, and he didn't notice this at first glance.Moreover, the military uniform he was wearing did not have the shoulder collar badge representing the military rank, so he was obviously not an official military officer.
When he was in Shandong, Chen Yixin once mentioned that Zhu Ziwu was assigned to work in Liaodong, but he did not mention the specific place.They didn't see Zhu Ziwu after they arrived in Jinzhou, so they gradually forgot about this incident. They didn't expect Zhu Ziwu to be assigned to Shenyang.And judging by his outfit, he should follow Sun Zhen to do things in the army, which means he is going to follow the route of joining the army.
Since the establishment of the Haihan Army, quite a few soldiers and generals from the Ming army have been recruited. For example, Shen Zhixiang and Jinping, who are currently serving in Jinzhou, were all from the Ming army.But before this, there was no precedent for the children of the Ming royal family to join the Haihan Army.Even if Zhu Ziwu has not officially enlisted in the army, if the news spreads, it will probably cause quite a stir in Daming.
Such an arrangement was of course made intentionally by Chen Yixin, but he did not explain to everyone why he made this arrangement.But at the moment, he didn't express anything special to Zhu Ziwu, he seemed to only regard him as an ordinary officer, and nodding his head was considered as a greeting.
