Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

After Li Laiheng was ordered to retreat to Xuanfu from the siege of the capital, the Ming and Qing Dynasties established defenses against each other along the Inner Great Wall.

When it comes to the Inner Great Wall, many people may be unfamiliar with it.

——The section where Juyongguan and Badaling are located is called the Inner Great Wall.

The corresponding line facing the grassland is called the Outer Great Wall.

The section connecting the Inner and Outer Great Walls, most of which is within Shanxi Province, is called the Second Great Wall.

Forget it, I don’t understand, here’s a picture:

After the Battle of Yao'erdusi, the Ming army not only firmly held the Inner Great Wall, but also suppressed the Qing army within the territory of Beizhili.

Li Laiheng, who was in charge of the war, perfectly demonstrated his strength.

He used the Inner Great Wall as his stronghold. After taking control of Juyongguan and other places, he even besieged the capital for a time.

If Zhu Youjian hadn't considered it all and had to keep the Qing court to deal with Jiangnan, Li Laiheng would have destroyed the Qing court long ago.

After Li Laiheng was ordered to retreat to Juyong Pass, he used Xuanfu as his base camp and set up a defensive line along the Inner Great Wall.

Correspondingly, Dorgon also set up three lines of defense.

The first route starts from Bohaisuo in the north and ends at Qijiazhuang in the south. It is east of the Great Wall and a series of castles next to the Great Wall. Small groups of troops are stationed for early warning.

Dorgon focused on Longhu Terrace directly facing Juyongguan, where Altin's 1 troops were directly stationed!

At the same time, in order to guard against the Baoding Ming Army, this line of defense went all the way to the Dafangshan Mountain area.

The second route is centered on Shahe Xingying, starting from Changping in the north and connecting to Fangshan County in the south.

This Qing army was much more generous, and there was even a city where thousands of troops were stationed.

The third route is laid out along the Baihe River, with Huairou, Shunyi, Miyun and Tongzhou as key cities.

This third line of defense is not to protect the capital, but to protect Tongzhou!

In other words - this line of defense was set up to ensure the success of Dorgon's plan to go south.

Li Laiheng in this time and space is not the lone hero of the Han family who was trapped and died in Xingshan under the Great Wall by the Qing government due to insufficient troops in history.

With the new Ming Dynasty as the backing, Dorgon's three lines of defense became the target of Li Laiheng's military training.

And the Qing army is no longer the army in history that has integrated the power of the entire continent.

Under the ebb and flow...

Not to mention that the Qing army built the Great Wall and trapped Li Laiheng to death as they did in history.

Even the elites who dared to go out to fight in the field have become a mere mention in Li Laiheng's "poor reputation"!

The Qing army was beaten so hard by Li Laiheng that they dared not leave the camp!

Not to mention building the Great Wall...

Even if you want to drive down stakes, build fences, and connect the forts together, it is still a dream!

Under Li Laiheng's repeated attacks, the Qing army could only be trapped in the city and fortress.

Even when Li Laiheng repeatedly crossed the Qing court's first line of defense, they just watched helplessly.

Don't even dare to set up an ambush!

ambush?

What the hell~!

Their guns can hit farther, their thunderbolts are more powerful, their artillery is thicker, and they're also lighter.

Even the cavalry...

After acquiring Shanshan and Hetao Mongolia, the Ming army had already completed the transformation of pack horses.

As the highlight of the Xuanfu Department, everyone is equipped with a horse and a mule!

As for the cavalry that Li Laiheng focused on training, they were even equipped with two horses and one mule!

He can't beat him in an infantry battle, he can't beat him in a mounted battle, and even his speed is far surpassed by others...

How is this fight going?

If you go out, you will be annihilated, or even completely annihilated...

Shrunk into the city, at least it has the merit of preserving the territory!

The first line of defense did not dare to attack, and the Qing troops on the second line of defense were also scared to death by Li Laiheng.

And after experiencing blood and fire again and again, the Xuanfu army trained by Li Laiheng became more and more elite!

After Zhu Youjian arrived at Xuanfu, Li Laiheng took the lead and went on the expedition.

The ten thousand cavalry in his hands are the result of six months of training.

Even though he only brought a horse and a mule in order to reduce the supply pressure, he was still as nimble as a loach.

Along the way, they broke through the first and second lines of defense of the Qing army.

The already fragile defense line of the Qing court was turned upside down.

even!

Approaching the important place of Tongzhou twice!

In just two days, Li Laiheng's 1 men wiped out tens of thousands of Qing troops.

Although most of these Qing troops were new recruits, they were enough to prove Li Laiheng's strength!

This lone hero who carried the last Ming Dynasty flag on the mainland proved his strength with a human head.

……

After Li Laiheng led his troops to leave, Zhu Youjian sent two more armies to the south and north.

Zhu Youjian broke through in the center and attacked with left and right pincers, starting the first battle to regain the capital of the Ming Dynasty!

Liu Wenyao, the commander-in-chief of the left, led [-] troops and sent troops from Baoan Prefecture to attack Fangshan.

Along the way, because they were all in mountainous areas, all they encountered were small groups of Qing troops, and their military exploits were mediocre.

However, it successfully attracted the attention of the Qing army and blocked the view of Baoding Li Ding's plan to seize property.

The leading commander in the north was Zhang Luofu, a hero from Baoding.

The six sons of the Zhang family who sacrificed their family for the country, this hero of the Han family who is known in history as "strong in arms and good at shooting"——

He only commanded [-] infantry, but he stirred up the situation in Ji Town.

Zhu Youjian sits on the Dragon and Tiger Terrace.

But Zhang Luofu had already gone crazy.

Just after Li Laiheng took the lead in dispatching, Zhang Luofu was ordered to kill him from Yanqing Prefecture.

The defense lines of both sides, the lower arrow is the direction of Li Laiheng's advance, and the upper arrow is Zhang Luofu

In the emperor's plan, Li Laiheng was used as a "wolf pack" to break up the relationship.

Li Laiheng used the attack on the core of the Qing government as bait to force the Qing army to fight in the field.

In mobile operations one after another, the mobile forces of the Qing army were dragged down and eliminated.

In this way, the Qing army did not dare to leave the city and could only hide in the city and act like a coward.

The two generals, one in the south and one in the north, are surgical scalpels.

Especially the three cities of Huairou, Miyun and Shunyi directly north of the capital.

As long as these three Qing armies go down the Baihe River, they will reach Tongzhou!

This is Dorgon's third line of defense!

It is also the core of Dorgon's plan to move south.

In other words, as long as these three Qing troops are still there, Dorgon will be able to ensure his retreat when he moves south, and he can easily take away all the Ming Dynasty property he can.

Dorgon, who knew how to save his life, put [-] troops here.

Although there were not many serious Jurchens in Jianzhou, those leading the troops were all veteran traitors.

These three cities, as a whole, form a long snake formation, all located on the west side of Baihe River.

Dorgon put down [-] troops here, and specially arranged for veteran traitors to take charge, precisely to guard against the Ming army in the west.

however!

As soon as Zhang Luofu took action, Dorgon's plan was shattered!

Will be the courage of soldiers.

Among the six sons of the Zhang family, except Zhang Luoshi who died early, all four of the five brothers who participated in the defense of Baoding died in the battle.
