Chapter 140: Outwitting Liaoyang
A moment later, Qi Jiguang urged the horse to come.
He looked around, but he didn't see a living traitor, Qi Jiguang couldn't help frowning:
"General Li, what about them?"
Li Cunxiao laughed:
"Haha...... Dead, all killed, not a single one remained. ”
Qi Jiguang touched his head helplessly, he wanted to leave one or two alive, but he didn't expect Li Cunxiao and Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to move so quickly and kill all the thieves.
"Okay, the general is brave and invincible, worthy of the first fierce general in history, the governor of Pontus has given you a great credit, now let's discuss how to break through Liaoyang."
Li Cunxiaoyu Wang Shenqi in one fell swoop:
"Governor, Li Cunxiao is willing to lead the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to break through Liaoyang."
Qin smiled slightly and asked:
"Does the general know how many red-coated cannons are on the head of Liaoyang City?"
"This ...... If there is a red-coated cannon, it is really a bit of trouble. ”
When he was summoned, Li Cunxiao was not afraid, since he had seen the power of firearms, Li Cunxiao was very impressed by the red-clothed cannon, that thing was too powerful.
There were no firearms at the beginning of the Eastern Captivity, but after Kong Youde and others surrendered, coupled with the covert support of the Jin merchants, their firearms also became the standard.
Especially during the Huang Taiji period, he completely changed the shortcomings of the Eight Banners of the Eastern Capture to attack the city, and every time they attacked a city, they would concentrate all the red-coated cannons and attack a city fiercely.
When they captured this city, they gathered the red cannons that had just been captured, and then attacked the next city.
As a result, the number of red-coated cannons in the eastern captivity increased, and after the important towns of the Nine Sides were occupied in many places in eastern Liaodong, the red-coated cannons were evenly distributed to some large cities to defend the cities.
Therefore, there are at least 20 red-clothed cannons at the head of Liaoyang City, although compared with the red-coated cannons of the Ming Dynasty, the number is not dominant, but now they are the defenders of the city.
If Zhu Youzhen was asked to use the Qi family army and the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to desperately attack the city, Zhu Youzhen would definitely not do it, and he could not afford to consume these troops.
There are no firearms, he can make them, buy them, or go to the system to exchange them.
But these soldiers are difficult to copy, so he specially told Qi Jiguang not to fight hard when attacking the city.
"Dudu, they have red-coated cannons, how can I attack the city?"
Qi Jiguang smiled slightly:
"This Pontus has a solution."
Qi Jiguang then ordered:
"The soldiers of the Qi family's army, immediately take off the armor of the rebels, pick up their chopping knives, and some uninjured war horses quickly gather over, and the governor of Pontus is useful."
"Yes"
Huang Ming immediately led the Qi family's army and began to pick up Shang Kexi's battle armor, and Li Cunxiao was stunned.
"Dudu, their armor is not as good as the armor of my Ming soldiers, what is the use of their armor?"
Qi Jiguang laughed:
"General, don't worry, soon you will understand what's going on."
Seeing that Li Cunxiao still didn't quite understand, Qi Jiguang immediately whispered a few words in his ear, Li Cunxiao listened, and saluted Qi Jiguang again:
"The governor is really handsome, Li admires."
Shang Kexi personally led a large army to rescue his son, and Liaoyang was temporarily handed over to his other son, Shang Zhixiao, to guard, and now the eastern captivity is huge, and there is no army to be its opponent.
Shang Zhixiao also did not worry about his brother and father, believing that there was no one in Liaoyang who could threaten their army.
However, after Shang Kexi left the city, Shang Zhixiao did not dare to sit firmly in the Shuai Mansion, and he led his cronies to the head of Liaoyang City, preparing to welcome his father's triumph.
I thought that my father would come back soon, but after half a day, there was still no movement, and none of the scouts sent out came back.
Shang Zhixiao began to turn into an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth in the city, wanting to take people out of the city to look for him, but he did not dare to disobey the order.
When the cronies next to him saw the master like this, they all comforted him:
"Don't worry, young general, there has been no war in Liaodong for many years, and there is no strength to resist, the prince will definitely not have problems, we will be patient and wait."
"Da Da Da ......"
Before the adjutant general could finish speaking, a cavalry suddenly appeared in the distance, judging from the banner and battle armor, it was the cavalry that Shang Kexi had taken with him when he left the city.
As the cavalry got closer and closer, Shang Zhixiao was taken aback, and the cavalry they were proud of was actually chased by other cavalry and fled in embarrassment.
Behind them was a cavalry in black clothes and black armor, very majestic, chasing back while releasing arrows, Shang Kexi's cavalry team kept people falling from their horses.
Shang Zhixiao was shocked and hurriedly ordered:
"Artillery preparation, once the father's cavalry enters the city, immediately bombard the cavalry behind Ben Shao."
"Yes"
The twenty red-coated cannons here immediately began to reload ammunition, ready to support at any time.
"Hurry up and open the city gate, the prince has been wounded by an arrow."
Shang Kexi and the horses rushed to the city and began to shout loudly, and when they heard Shang Kexi hit the arrow, Shang Zhixiao was even more surprised.
hurriedly stretched out his head to look, and sure enough, he saw his father being held by a personal guard and riding on a war horse.
He couldn't even ride a war horse, and he must have been seriously injured, so Shang Zhixiao immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.
"Hurry up, open the city gate and let my father enter the city, and be careful not to let the cavalry from behind rush into the city."
"Chirp"
"Squeak......"
As the drawbridge was slowly lowered, the city gate was also opened, and the cavalry in front just took advantage of the situation to enter the city without delaying at all.
Seeing that most of his cavalry had already entered the city, and the pursuers behind him were about to catch up, Shang Zhixiao had no choice but to abandon them in order to ensure the safety of the city.
"Quick, put away the drawbridge and close the gates."
The adjutant general's face was full of surprise:
"General, there are still many of us who have not entered the city......"
Shang Zhixiao shouted:
"Quickly execute the order, don't you see that the cavalry behind is likely to take the opportunity to kill the city gate, and the disobedient will be killed!"
The adjutant general had no choice but to order:
"Quick, put away the drawbridge and close the gates."
However, it was no longer possible for them to close the gates and close the drawbridge.
Seeing that the drawbridge was about to be retracted, a cavalryman suddenly pulled out a Mo knife from under the saddle, aimed at the iron chain, and slashed it fiercely.
"Click, click, click......"
The chain of the drawbridge was cut by him with his sword, and the rebel soldiers guarding the city gate were also slashed and killed by other cavalrymen, all in a very short time.
"Rush"
"Kill"
"Kill all the traitors......"
Some of the cavalry outside the city and the cavalry wearing black armor shouted to enter Liaoyang City.
"This ...... What is this operation? ”
Shang Zhixiao was dumbfounded for a moment, but they quickly guessed what was going on, they must have been fooled, this was the enemy army defrauding the city, and his father must have been more than lucky.
"Someone, the enemy army is deceiving the city, ready to fight."
Facing the battle, how to meet the battle, without waiting for the soldiers in the city to react, more than half of them have been slashed and killed, Shang Zhixiao is so big, he has never seen such a strong cavalry.
Under the protection of some personal guards, Shang Zhixiao had no way to escape, so he could only hide in the marshal's mansion and ordered the firearms soldiers to strengthen the garrison.
The deception city, of course, is Qi Jiguang's masterpiece, and their 5,000 people put on the armor of the cavalry under Shang Kexi, raised the banner of Shang Kexi, and pretended to be defeated.
Li Cunxiao Xuanjia rode closely behind, not giving Shang Zhixiao time to think about it at all, as for Shang Kexi himself, of course, he was also pretending to be Qi Jiajun.
Eight thousand Xuanjia iron cavalry and 20,000 Qi family troops almost didn't have much effort to kill all the rebel soldiers in the city, and soon surrounded the Shuai Mansion.
