Chapter 40: Capture the City on a Rainy Night

It's June. In a few days, it will be July.

Speaking of which, it's time for rain, too.

It's just that in the first half of the year, the whole of China, no, most of East Asia, lacked rain.

For example, during Cao Yi's attack on Korea, he did not encounter wind and rain, whether it was the battle of crossing the Yalu River or the battle of Ganghwa Island, if it rained continuously, it would always be a headache.

It's just that now Cao Yi doesn't have a headache.

The headache is Shi Heng.

Under the heavy rain, the mountain road was extremely difficult, and what made people feel even worse was that Shi Heng traveled lightly when he rushed to help Haixi.

A lot of equipment was left behind.

Including, the hat and the coat.

Shi Heng counted it, and there were only about 20,000 pieces of robes in the whole army.

Shi Heng could only give up all his hats and robes to the soldiers, and he and the generals at all levels walked in the rain in armor, and the clothes on his body were wet and dry.

It's just that in such a situation, Shi Heng can hold on. Not everyone will be able to hold on.

In the army, there are people who are falling behind one after another.

There were probably more than 1,000 people who were sick and feverish, and they could only be placed in the mountains, leaving some people to guard.

Now there is a shortage of doctors and medicines, so we can only see if they can survive it

If you can get through it, it's a blessing, and if you can't get through it, you just add a lonely grave in Changbai Mountain.

Therefore, remind people who have traveled back in time to ancient times to maintain hygiene habits and not get drenched in the rain, because you don't know that the price of a rain in ancient times was probably your life.

Finally, after three days and three nights of trekking, Shi Heng finally arrived at the south of Sandaoguan.

These three passes are where Shi Heng fought against the Jurchen tribe at the beginning, and Jiajingou is not far from here, in the northwest of Jiajingou, is Weihu Mountain.

It's just that now this mountain is nameless.

Although the heavy rain has stopped, the rain is still dripping. Shi Heng stood in front of the cavalry of the army, without saying a word, turned over his horse, and walked forward in the rain in the dark night.

I galloped for dozens of miles, and when it was almost dawn, I arrived at the location of Jiajin Ditch.

As the name suggests, Jiajingou is a valley, and this city is at the mouth of the valley, which was originally a wall to prevent the gold diggers from escaping, but later there were many people, and there were more houses to live in.

If you have a large area, you will build a small city. 、

Not to mention anything else, you must always prevent a big worm from arriving on the street in the middle of the night

Don't think it's impossible.

There are a large number of undeveloped deep mountain forests in the northeast, which are exactly where tigers are infested.

Dark clouds obscured the change in the sky, and although the sun was probably already on and the visibility between heaven and earth had become higher, it was already dim as if it were night. And the sound of the rain is hidden

The sound of the march of the army was stopped.

Therefore, when Shi Heng rushed to the city, the tile spur soldiers had not yet reacted.

The city, which is more than a foot high, is about the height of a one-story building, and if it is defended, it is enough to be an impassable line of defense.

But there was no one to defend it, most of them were hiding from the rain, and only a few were on patrol.

In this way, the Ming army entered the city, which was like digging for something.

I don't know where a shout of killing sounded, the city gate opened violently, and Shi Heng took the lead in rushing into the small city.

The small city immediately turned into a killing sound.

At this moment, the Ming army took advantage of it.

For the Tile Thorns, they are more familiar with fighting on horseback, but they are not too familiar with this kind of short combat in long streets and alleys.

In particular, the soldiers of the Beijing camp are all Hebei Han people, at least one meter and more than seven years old. In addition to the bonus of war horses, the Tile Thorns are generally a head shorter than the soldiers of the Beijing camp.

This kind of physical factor is obvious in the fighting.

Coupled with the factor of weapons and the factor of surprise attack, in short, at the beginning of this battle, these people were all at a disadvantage.

But this battle still killed for nearly a day.

The reason is simple, Shi Heng does not want them to surrender.

First, the Ming Dynasty is based on the first, and the first level is naturally the more the merrier, and secondly, Shi Heng's headquarters is only 40,000 people, and the garrison in this small city, although there are 30,000 people, is relatively mixed.

It's these tribal leaders who don't want the Watts to monopolize the benefits here. If it is collected, it will not be able to be resettled at all. Only kill clean.

Shi Heng just started to kill and surrender after surrendering, but these people are not stupid, so it can be seen that no one is willing to surrender in the end.

So it's a good kill. From the rain to the afternoon, the dark clouds dispersed, the sun penetrated down, and the golden light opened, dyeing the sky and the earth into a golden yellow, but it could not hide the cruel blood.

After some killing, Shi Heng asked the people below to count the number of beheadings, and it was estimated that there were more than 20,000, although not all of them were the Tile Spur Headquarters, but the Tile Spur Headquarters was probably several thousand.

It's a credit to one.

Shi Heng's greater harvest was to collect thousands of taels of gold from the small city, and Shi Heng directly distributed them according to the rank in the army.

Many of the generals were given a gold bar.

The army suddenly became jubilant.

It's just that no one knows how much Shi Heng has fished

Releasing horses in the army, this kind of spoils of war and encroachment, is a long-standing rule in the Ming Dynasty, and it is an unspoken rule. Even if the emperor knew, he could only assume that he didn't know.

This is also why Wang Yue is so hated in North Korea.

When Shi Heng was jubilant, Boyan Timur fell into the ice cellar.

"What?" Boyan Timur took the case and said: "Shi Heng, the thief, suddenly appeared in Jiajingou, and now three

All 10,000 people have been wiped out? ”

The people below were trembling and did not dare to say more.

Boyan Timur never thought of this situation, his mind was full of question marks for a while, Shi Heng was not in Beijing, where did he come from.

Even if he came to support Haixi, he shouldn't be in the south, why did he suddenly run to the northwest?

What is he going to do? Is it cutting off my back path?

It was he who came, but the main force of the Ming army came?

Wait, if the main force of the Ming army comes, how is the big brother fighting? Why did the Ming army beat me and didn't fight the eldest brother, could it be that the eldest brother had already withdrawn or had already been defeated.

What is the fog of war, and now it is.

Whether it was Shi Heng or Boyan Timur, they didn't know all the information, they could only judge the development of the entire battle situation through incomplete information.

Shi Heng would rather sacrifice a lot of loyal to the Ming tribe, as well as immigration points, just to gain an advantage in intelligence.

His sudden blow stunned Boyan Timur at once.

At this time, it is the time when a general is tested the most, there is no news, only where the enemy is and who the main general is?

This news was only seen when Shi Hengchong was killed.

Otherwise, Boyan Timur did not even know who the enemy general was.

How many enemies are there? Enemy intent? In the case of not knowing anything, we must make the right judgment.

Whether it is a mediocre general or a famous general, it depends on the decision at this time.

Boyan Timur was obviously not the choice of a famous general, although he calmed down, many of his thoughts of scaring himself were denied by him. But he still felt that this war could not be fought any further.

First of all, North Korea has already fallen, and Haixi is a hard bone, and it will not be able to attack it for a while and a half. And Shi Heng's position is also very delicate.

Everyone knows that the three passes are a passage between Haixi and Zhaozhou, and a passage in the Changbai Mountains.

Of course, this is not the only channel.

But there were no other Ming troops to block the other passages.

Once he could not withdraw to the west of Changbai Mountain, there would not be much room for maneuver for the army. If the Ming army sent all the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the rabble under the command of Boyan Timur would be in a rather bad situation.

In addition, he also told him before that he was ready to protect himself when he saw that something was wrong. Now things are not good.

Naturally, thirty-six plans are the best.

Boyan Timur's decision-making cannot be said to be wrong, after all, at this time, it is not a wise choice for him to entangle with Shi Heng here.

But Boyan Timur seems to have forgotten one thing, that is, the military action of retreat is much more difficult than attacking, not to mention, Boyan Timur's various departments are extremely mixed, and when attacking, there are incense bait hanging, maybe he can be obedient, but will it be like this when retreating?
