Chapter 55 Victory in the Battle of Ningyuan in the fourth quarter

The next day, Nurhachi organized a superior force again, ordering all the soldiers to wear armor and shields on their heads, and launched another powerful offensive against the Ming army.The two sides fought fiercely all day, and the Jin army exhausted all kinds of siege methods, and the Ming army also tried their best to defend.The arrows of the Hou Jin army crossed the city wall like locusts, and the brigade followed.The generals of the Ming army were impatient, and they all hoped that Yuan Chonghuan would quickly order to fire back.Yuan Chonghuan was very calm, and shook his hand slightly to everyone.After that, the Jin army continued to move forward.Yuan Chonghuan watched from the female wall, and waited for the enemy troops to swarm to a relatively close place before he ordered loudly: "Fire the gun!"Those who were lucky enough not to be hit turned around and ran for their lives in a hurry. You rushed into each other, trampled on each other, and the team was in chaos.Nurhachi was also seriously injured in the fierce battle.

After the Jin army had collapsed, it was impossible for Nurhachi to continue organizing the siege, so he had to order the troops to retreat.Yuan Chonghuan took advantage of the momentum and led his troops to fight out of the city. After chasing for 30 miles, he wiped out more than 10,000 enemy troops before returning to the city victoriously.Nurhachi ordered the defeated remnants of the Jin army to retreat to Ai (aiai) Yangbao, 40 miles away from Shenyang, before stopping.Because of his disastrous defeat, he was sad and angry, his injuries worsened, and he fell ill and died.The battle of Ningyuan ended with the victory of the Ming army and the defeat of the Jin army.

When Ningyuan was first surrounded, the supreme rulers of the Ming Dynasty believed that the city would not be able to hold, and they only wanted to surrender Shanhaiguan.Unexpectedly, more than ten days later, the news of Yuan Chonghuan's success came. The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, who had never dreamed of it, were all so happy that they seemed to go crazy. In the battle of Ningyuan, the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty fought to defend their homeland, and it was a just war.Ming general Yuan Chonghuan, with his fearless courage and brave and firm spirit, opposed the passive retreat of the general and advocated active resistance.During the war, he resolutely relied on and organized the vast number of soldiers and civilians inside and outside Ningyuan City, implemented strong walls and cleared the fields, and worked together to protect the dangerous city.Therefore, under the very unfavorable situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, and there is a great disparity between the few and the few, he not only kept the isolated city that was helpless on all sides, but also defeated the attack of the Houjin army, annihilating a large number of viable forces of the enemy, and creating a history of defeating the strong by the weak in the history of our country. Another brilliant example.Nurhachi is brave and good at fighting, and has always used troops cautiously, so he often wins in wars.Because of his repeated victories, he also developed the idea of ​​being proud and underestimating the enemy. He only saw the superiority of his own military strength, but did not see the unjust nature of the war; The favorable conditions for the army and the people to be united, so they suffered a disastrous defeat in which the soldiers were lost and the generals were lost, and he was seriously injured and died.
