Chapter Seventy-Five: The Bloody Battle of Xiping Fort

In the first battle of Sanchahe, the six battalions deployed by Wang Huazhen were unable to get orders from Quang Ninh in time, and the Houjin army seized the opportunity to break up the camp one morning.

Tens of thousands of Ming troops, those who died in battle, and those who surrendered, have now been completely destroyed in the hands of slaves.

Wang Huazhen's so-called three lines of defense in Guangning, the outermost one, was immediately broken.

Nurhachi personally led 60,000 eight banners, 30,000 fake slave soldiers, known as 200,000 troops, crossed the Sancha River and went straight to Xiping Fort.

Under Xiping Fort, the slave horses dancing with bright flags galloped back and forth, and the horses' hooves stepped on the frozen soil of Liaodi, playing a terrifying drumbeat.

Guangning deputy general soldier Luo Chengyi, a defender of Ganzhou, was raised by his widowed mother since he was a child, with a strong personality, upright speech, and tired of military exploits.

Prior to this, when he was promoted to the tent in Guangning, he made a statement to Senator Wang Huazhen, saying that Liaodong's judgment by Xiong Tingbi was reasonable, and Nurhachi would come to the nest as soon as he heard about the movement of Guangning's troops.

Wang Huazhen did not listen, insisted on sending troops, and ordered him to lead 3,000 remnants of troops to defend Xiping Fort first.

Earlier, when he heard that the seven battalions of the Sancha River were dead and those who fled, Luo had always ordered the fast horse to fly to Guangning, wanting to wait for help.

Now that the slaves have arrived in the city, there is still no news of reinforcements.

Luo was always dressed in armor, slammed his hand on the city bricks, and saw the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and the Jin soldiers swarmed in all directions, and soon surrounded Xiping Fort.

There were shouts among the slave army, and the Ming army was waiting.

Soon, the false slave soldiers pushed out the siege equipment such as shield carts, ladders, and iron hooks, and prepared to attack the city in a big way.

At the forefront of a slave horse, Nurhachi looked at Xiping Fort, whose city defense was not as strong as Shenyang's, and his eyes showed a little disdain, and said:

"Li Yongfang, Ben Khan ordered you to attack the city first."

Li Yongfang, a native of Tieling, eastern Liaodong.

Since the late Ming Dynasty, the first person to surrender slaves to the Liaodi army, the fake slave soldiers accepted by Nurhachi, were all under the command of Li Yongfang at this time, and the number was about 30,000.

Nurhachi asked Li Yongfang to go, and he also heard that he had always been an old friend of Luo Zheng, the defender of the Ming army here.

It is naturally best not to fight this place and directly attack Quang Ninh.

Sure enough, Li Yongfang, a dog slave who knew his master's thoughts, the first thing he did when he arrived in the city was not to attack the city, but to persuade him to surrender.

"Brother Luo, the Great Khan knows that you are a tiger general, and it is obvious that you are not talented in Dajin, so submit to Dajin, look at my brother, how did the Great Khan treat me badly!"

"Fuck you!" Luo always sneered, probed out of the wall, and said angrily: "Traitor! How has the court ever treated you badly? Since betraying the Ming Dynasty, you are no longer my brother! ”

"Calling you a brother, Lao Tzu is disgusting!"

Li Yongfang didn't feel angry, after all, since the gold cut, this kind of scolding has been less suffered? It's been a long time since all kinds of poisons have been invaded.

He rolled his eyes a few times, and then raised his voice again:

"Brother Luo, you don't treat me as an elder brother, but I still treat you as a younger brother!"

"What I said just now, brother, I won't tell the Great Khan, if you surrender again at this time, I am willing to share wealth with you in front of the Great Khan!"

"Just you, also worthy of being my brother?" Luo consistently spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm downward, "It was Lao Tzu who was blind back then!" ”

Suddenly, he took a military flag from the hands of his generals, raised it in the air, and laughed loudly: "The traitor Li Yongfang, now that the Ming Dynasty has descended, I beg the emperor to spare you from death!" ”

Hearing this, Li Yongfang's face darkened.

I came to persuade him to surrender, but this Luo has always persuaded himself to surrender?

What a naked slap in the face!

This kid is really sick, isn't it good to live well, he has to be a loyal and righteous man!

Without waiting for Li Yongfang to order the siege of the city, a Zhenghuangqi Niu Lu, who was waiting patiently in the morning, had secretly pulled the bowstring in the crowd and aimed at Luo Yiyi, who scolded Li Yongfang at the head of the city.

Listening to the "whoosh", a cluster of arrows spun away with the sound of breaking through the air, shooting into Luo Yi's left eye.

"General—"

Yu's lieutenants stepped forward one after another, pulled back the bleeding Luo, and surrounded him on the left and right.

Luo Yi gritted his teeth, and immediately shouted: "Wait for me to leave me alone, set off artillery to shoot thieves, and fight for each other!" ”

"Don't let the thieves come near the city!"

After not waiting for long, Luo always broke the cluster of arrows, got up and looked at the city with bloody one eye, and scolded:

"The slave thief of the dog day, if you can't beat grandpa, you will release the cold arrow!?"

The words landed, and the sound of the cannon at the head of Xiping Fort shook the sky, and the Ming army caused artillery.

At this time, the Houjin soldiers still did not know the accurate range of various types of artillery of the Ming army in Liaodi, nor did they expect that there would be so many artillery pieces in a small Xiping Fort.

The slave cavalry was densely scattered around Xiping Fort, and directly became an accurate target for artillery fire.

Every shell landed, and with an earth-shattering roar, the slave riders flipped on their backs and fell down, suffering heavy casualties.

After Li Yongfang returned, he was scolded by Nurhachi, and immediately led 30,000 fake slave soldiers to attack the city.

The soldiers of the Ming army of the ministry were inspired by the courage of the main generals, and no one surrendered.

Half a day later, the corpses under the city of Xiping Fort are almost equal to the city!

The fake slave soldiers were forced forward by the real slave soldiers, braved the artillery fire, desperately attacked the city, and three times they were about to break the city, but three times they were repelled by the Ming army led by Luo Zhengyi.

For a time, the battle reached a stalemate.

......

The artillery of the Ming army was too fierce, and the fake slave soldiers were originally made by collecting the defeated Ming army, and the casualties reached a point, even if the real slave soldiers were killing and fleeing in the rear, they couldn't stop it at all.

Nurhachi was a little uncomfortable, and he stayed within the range of the Ming army's artillery in Xipingbao, although the Jurchen Eight Banners did not participate in the siege, they still kept losing their banners.

Li Yongfang, the dog minion, asked him to take 30,000 people to fight Xiping Fort with a mere 3,000 Ming troops, and it had been a few hours, and this thing couldn't be defeated.

Li Yongfang was even more uncomfortable, the enemy army in front of him couldn't beat him, and the masters behind him couldn't afford to provoke him.

And he can't control these fake slave soldiers, and people don't listen to what they shout.

Actually, it's right, everyone is scattered in all directions, and even the Shangguan of his Ming army at the beginning can't be suppressed, what kind of thing are you Li Yongfang.

Lao Tzu wants to run, do you care?

Li Yongfang really couldn't control it, he could only watch the fake slave soldiers run away from the city at a fast speed.

It didn't take long for Hong Taiji, who was supervising the war, to sit still.

He stepped forward to look for Li Yongfang, and scolded him for scolding: "What are you eating, Dajin has raised you for so many years, and you can't even look at these southern dogs?" ”

Li Yongfang didn't dare to be hard-mouthed, for fear that this master would cut himself off if he was angry.

When the time came, even Nurhachi would not speak for himself, he broke his teeth and swallowed in his stomach, so he had to turn around and kick a false slave soldier, and ordered loudly:

"Don't run!"

"Rush up for me, those who dare to retreat will be killed!"

The Ming army at the head of the city was still rumbling with artillery, and the shells were dropped as if they didn't want money, and they didn't even think of the previous Yellow Flag Niulu.

The Ming army guard Luo has always been shot in one eye by him, but the more he fights, the more courageous he becomes, which is still the impression of a weak Southern Barbarian?

Li Yongfang had just finished scolding a few words, and he was kicked by someone, and he went directly on his back, and a dog gnawed on.

"Who kicked me!"

When he got up angrily and raised his head, his anger disappeared suddenly, and he said with a smile: "Master... Y-How did you get back? ”

"Don't worry, I'll let these dog slaves go back to attack the city."

Naturally, it was Hong Taiji who kicked him.

The latter was not so angry now, but just pressed his hand on the saber and said quietly: "Father Khan is afraid that you will not be able to defeat alone, so he asked me to bring a yellow flag to help you." ”

Li Yongfang wiped his sweat, and then looked at these heavily armed yellow-armored infantry armor in front of him, didn't this mean that the Great Khan was dissatisfied with himself?

Thinking of this, he was even more suffocated, now he was afraid that he was going to finish the ball, and a small Xipingbao 30,000 people played for a long time without beating down.

It is estimated that if I go back this time, I will not need to bring troops anymore.
