Chapter 161: Borrowing a knife to kill the officer
"Lord Wang......" Kong Youde's personal guards immediately stepped forward to support him.
Kong Youde glared at Hong Chengchou fiercely:
"This king is fine, protect the tiger squatting cannon, and count the number of people immediately."
"Chirp"
Hong Chengchou also felt that it was a mistake to follow Kong Youde at this time, and thought that his army was very combative.
Looking at it now, it is only slightly stronger than the Ming army, but compared with the Eight Banners of the Eastern Capture, the army's literacy is much worse, and he estimates that this trip should be in vain.
"Report to the prince, 178 artillery people died, 321 people were injured, 235 people died in a stampede by other arms, 543 people were injured, and 132 people were missing."
Hearing that there were so many casualties, Kong Youde almost spurted blood.
Before they arrived at the battlefield, they had already lost more than 1,000 people, most of them caused by stampede and crowding, and those missing soldiers must have fallen off the cliff and died.
This has never happened before, after Hong Chengchou followed, it was the first time that there were so many non-combat attrition, what bullshit former Ming ministers, it was simply a broom star.
is such a broom star, and he has to protect it well, if he is killed by the Ming army, even if Liaoyang is captured, Dolgon will have an opinion about himself.
The more Kong Youde thought about it, the more angry he became, so he simply put him under house arrest and pulled him down, and when he captured Liaoyang City, he turned around and ordered the deputy general:
"Wang Chao, protect Lord Hong, if he has any accidents, you can come and see him."
"Chirp"
Wang Chao agreed, led more than 100 people to sandwich Hong Chengchou in the middle, and did not allow him to go out of the ranks, and then the army continued to advance towards Liaoyang.
After Qi Jiguang and Li Cunxiao left Huang Ming, they climbed to the top of Liaoyang City together, and in less than an hour, they saw Huang Ming and their Pegasus coming to the city.
"Open the city gate and let Huang Ming and them into the city."
"Yes"
The defenders of the city gate agreed, hurriedly opened the city gate, Huang Ming and other 2,000 people quickly entered Liaoyang, and the city gate was closed again.
After entering the city, Huang Ming couldn't wait to run to the city, but before anyone came up, the voice had already come:
"Governor, it's a big victory, I really didn't expect it to be a big victory."
Qi Jiguang smiled and watched Huang Ming run up to the city:
"Huang Ming, so excited, what kind of big victory to talk about."
Huang Ming walked quickly to Qi Jiguang and Li Cunxiao, and clasped his fists and saluted:
"Dudu, all the fifty cannons of the dog slaves were pushed off the cliff by us, and under our artillery bombardment, they stamped and crowded again, and it is estimated that there are at least a thousand casualties, and none of us are injured, isn't it a big victory, hahaha......"
Qi Jiguang nodded and smiled:
"A big victory, it's a big victory, and after the recovery of Liaodong, the governor of Pontus will play the Son of Heaven and give you a reward."
Huang Ming hurriedly clasped his fists again and saluted:
"Huang Ming, on behalf of the brothers, thank you to the governor, and thank you to the emperor."
"Dada......"
Suddenly, there was a violent sound of horses' hooves, Kong Youde led an army of 30,000 to the city, and Qi Jiguang raised his binoculars to look at the thief army.
The result was very coincidental, just seeing Kong Youde's angry appearance, Qi Jiguang smiled slightly, and waved his hand behind him:
"Come on, put down those Qingliu officials who insist on negotiating with the Eastern Exile and are ready to convince people with virtue to the city, and let them teach the big traitor Kong Youde how to behave first."
"Yes"
Soon, a group of Qingliu officials were brought to the city, they were all officials above the court, asking the Ming to negotiate with virtue and the Eastern Exile, and to use the Great Wall as the boundary system.
When the army set off, they were sent to Shanhaiguan by Jinyiwei, and the emperor asked Qi Jiguang to take them to Liaodong, and the main task was to teach the eastern captives how to subdue people with virtue.
"Don't, Qi Dudu spares his life, you must not let us go, otherwise we will definitely be killed by them, please Dadu Governor ......"
As soon as the men were brought to the city, they began to shout for mercy.
Qi Jiguang snorted coldly:
"A group of dog officers, my Ming soldiers are blood-stained on the battlefield, and they will be impeached by you when they go back, not only will they be punished without merit, and the soldiers are desperate to move their mouths."
"Put them all down in hanging baskets, Hong Chengchou and Kong Youde are here, you go and teach them how to convince people with virtue, and after they learn, they will go to teach the East to exile foreign races."
"Yes"
"No, we're going to die......"
The soldiers took the hanging baskets one by one, pressed all these gossip officials down into the hanging baskets, and then lowered them down Liaoyang City along the city wall.
Seeing that begging for mercy was fruitless, these gossip officials could only grit their teeth and slowly walk to Kong Youde's front through the suspension bridge, they did not dare to surrender to the Eastern Prisoners, and all their families were still in Beijing.
Kong Youde saw the Ming army put down dozens of hanging baskets, and he didn't know what it meant, and suddenly heard these clear stream shouts:
"Respectfully to the prince, we are here to negotiate......"
Kong Youde Hong Chengchou also saw these gossip officials, and there were some of them who they knew, Hong Chengchou pointed to several of them and said to Kong Youde:
"Look, Lord Wang, there are still a few imperial histories in there, all of them are second-grade officials, what are they doing before they come to our battle?"
Kong Youde was angry, and when he saw these Ming officials, he was angry at them.
"Come on, prepare rockets, and shoot them all to death for this king."
"Chirp"
Arrows were immediately placed on the bowstring, and then ignited, and it was a rain of arrows against these clear stream officials.
"Whoosh ......"
"No, we're negotiating......"
"Puff ......"
Where could these gossip officials dodge the shooting of bows and arrows, they were instantly shot into hedgehogs, and the clothes on their bodies were also ignited by fire, and they soon turned into charred corpses.
So many Ming Dynasty officials were shot to death, Kong Youde finally let out his evil anger, he laughed at the city, it was quite stupid.
Qi Jiguang smiled at Li Cunxiao, stretched out his hand to take a big horn given by the emperor, and shouted at Kong Youde:
"Thank you traitors for eliminating harm for me, they are all your comrades, asking for the Great Wall as the boundary system, we really don't want to waste arrows, thank you."
The sound of the loudspeaker was very loud, and it could be heard far away, Kong Youde and Hong Chengchou could hear it clearly, and when they figured out what was going on, Kong Youde almost spouted blood.
It's not that he feels sorry for those gossip officials, but he doesn't want to eliminate harm for Daming, and he doesn't want to waste his rockets for Daming.
"Minggou, don't talk nonsense to this king, do you dare to go out of the city to fight?"
Qi Jiguang laughed:
"National scum, why don't you dare to the Pontura, but the Pontus wants you to live one more day."
Qi Jiguang said, handed over the loudspeaker to his subordinates, turned around and walked down the city to return to the Shuai Mansion.
Li Cunxiao followed behind Qi Jiguang and asked:
"Governor, why don't you go out of the city to face the battle, this general will definitely be able to kill others with a charge."
Qi Jiguang reached out and patted Li Cunxiao on the shoulder:
"General, don't worry, this Kong Youde not only has 30,000 horses, but also is equipped with a large number of firearms, and if he rushes strongly, he will definitely cause a large number of casualties.
Now that they don't have red-coated cannons, Liaoyang City is absolutely safe and sound, we have to force him to fight a siege battle, and after consuming his ammunition, we will annihilate the traitor team in one go. ”
