307 Never suffered such a big loss
Enemy attack?
When I heard this word, to be honest, Ying Erdai was really stunned, could it be that he was in Ningyuan?
However, he quickly came back to his senses, and suddenly his color changed, and he immediately asked, "Where did the enemy attack from Haizhou City?" ”
As soon as he spoke, he was so anxious that he strode out, and the servant who was waiting for him immediately went to get his armor and hurried after him.
"It's the Ming army, the Ming cavalry is coming into the city!" The guards who came in to plead only had the opportunity to continue pleading.
In fact, the only enemy at this time was the Ming family. Even if you don't say it, the enemy attack can only be the Ming army.
It's not this one that cares about it, it's the other. I heard him shout and ask: "What's the matter, the Ming army has entered the city, why is there no news in advance?" ”
However, after the question, he had come to his senses, and there was no point in pursuing such a thing at this time. So, he didn't stop and strode out. As soon as I walked out of the back office, I already heard the chaotic sound of horses' hooves outside, which made people's hearts palpitate rapidly. The cries and screams everywhere are disturbing.
Obviously, even if he didn't see the situation outside, he knew that the Ming cavalry had already entered the city.
Before he could give the order to take measures, he saw a patch of red, which in the evening was even more dazzling, and the burning red was like the color of blood.
Seeing this situation, Ying Erdai knew that the city defense was estimated to be over. In this case, the military order could not be conveyed at all, and it was impossible to organize a counterattack at all.
If it is said that the city is full of white-armored soldiers, who are the elite of the Qing Dynasty, then even if they are attacked by this kind of raid, they will spontaneously resist. However, Haizhou City is now located in the rear, and it is very safe, and it is impossible to station white-armored soldiers at all.
However, after all, it was in the period of rising national strength, and many soldiers in the city immediately rushed to the government after encountering this situation. When Ying Ordai came to the courtyard of the former government, there were already more than 100 soldiers gathered here.
However, most of these soldiers were not in good armor, and it was obvious that the incident happened suddenly, and they didn't have time to put on their armor before they came.
When Ying Erdai saw it, he didn't talk nonsense, and immediately shouted: "Raise the banner and kill it!" ”
He knew that at this time, only by showing his banner and fighting with the Ming army that attacked the city could stalemate, then the other soldiers in the city would all come over. Only then will it be possible to turn defeat into victory.
However, this glimmer of opportunity, we must also hope that there are not many Ming troops attacking in. In other words, the Ming army that attacked this incoming was similar to the Huazi army like Dongjiang Town in the past, and the combat power was low, so there would be a chance.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the rapid sound of horses' hooves outside outside the palace.
Yingordai can hear it, there are quite a few of them.
He was about to give the order, but he saw the arrow from the string "whooshing" over the high wall and flew in, and more than ten of the Jianyu who were assembling in the courtyard were killed and wounded at once. This also immediately caused a commotion, and the yard became a bit chaotic.
On Ying Ordai's head, he was already sweating unconsciously, but he didn't know it, he just hurriedly commanded: "Attack out, or you can only be beaten passively!" ”
While he was talking, he saw a lot of torches thrown in from outside, and they were thrown everywhere, not only in the yard, but also on the rooftops.
In such a short period of time, so many torches can be lit and thrown in, as well as burning houses in the city, it is obvious that the Ming army must have deliberately prepared a lot.
Ying Erdai guessed correctly, the previous firewood ox cart was actually all pre-made torches. In addition, the cavalry will bring some of it themselves, and Li Laiheng's plan is to burn Haizhou City.
At this moment, the palace could not stay even more, and the builders in the courtyard immediately opened the gate and tried to rush out.
But who knows, as soon as they opened the door, they heard the sound of gunshots.
Dense buckshot is not at all something that a shield can block. The Jianyu who rushed to the front suffered a large number of casualties in just one moment.
Ying Erdai looked through the gap in the crowd and saw that under the sunset, there were all Ming troops wearing red military uniforms outside.
At this glance, he knew that there was no hope.
Looking up, looking over the walls, all I saw was fiery red, and there was smoke.
"Master, hurry up and leave from the back office, you won't be able to get out if it's late!" Yingordai's personal guards also saw the situation clearly and immediately reminded.
The other guards also immediately followed and said: "Master, Haizhou City must be finished, go quickly!" ”
Ying Ordai was not stupid, seeing this situation, he was not hypocritical, saying that he would swear to survive with Haizhou City, but immediately said nothing, turned around and ran to the back office.
………………
Chen Mingyu was on the arrow tower at the head of the city, watching everything in the city.
The government and barracks in the city were the most priority places to attack, and these two places would not change, and after Wu Liu and Niujiazhuang's people verified that the map was correct, the cavalry soldiers attacked these two places first. The soldiers of the Ming army who entered the city later set fire everywhere and shot any creature that could be seen.
In just such a short period of time, Haizhou City has become a sea of fire. From the top of the city, the government and the military camp were also in flames.
Seeing all this, Chen Mingyu knew that the construction of Haizhou City was over, this was a great victory!
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look north, Li Laiheng, that madman, was really a thief and dared to rebel, and he was so bold that he was not satisfied with conquering Haizhou City!
That's really ......
Ah, let's hope it goes according to plan!
………………
The Ming army came from the west gate, and did not control the other city gates, with only one purpose, that is, to destroy Haizhou City.
Therefore, from the beginning of the Ming army's attack, after the fire broke out in the city, some of the prisoners ran away from other gates. Later, after more Jianyu saw the situation clearly, all those who could run escaped through several other doors.
Although Ying Erdai fled decisively, when he fled, many places in the city were filled with Ming cavalry, and he could only flee to the east gate with his personal guards.
By the time he fled the city, there were only five or six guards left with him.
Night has fallen, and people can still be seen escaping from the city, but more people are probably unable to escape.
Under the fire, even the Ming army withdrew from the city, and then with a team of 100 people, they began to chase and kill the Jianjiao who fled from the city as far as the eye could see.
Seeing this, Yingordai gritted his teeth.
It's been so many years since the Qing Dynasty, and he lost the city, but he didn't expect it to be lost in his hands.
However, at this moment, even if he clenched his teeth, it was useless, and he finally did not say a word, took the reins, turned his horse's head, and galloped north.
Wait and see, I'll be back!
………………
Haizhou City to Anshan Station is about sixty miles away, which can be said to be not far. If the cavalry let go of the run, regardless of whether the horse is dead or alive, it is estimated that it will only be there in about an hour.
However, it was late at night, and although it was a round and a half moon, the moonlight was not enough for the horse to run with its hooves open.
Although Ying Erdai was not the first to escape from the city, he rode a horse, and along the way, he surpassed many Jianjiao who had fled before him, and fled to Anshan Post Fort, which was not far from Anshan Post Fort, and could already see Anshan Post Fort in the distance, it was already midnight.
Besides, this Anshan post fort, one mile and two hundred and four steps around, there are two gates in the southwest and northeast. With the east and west Anshan as the screen, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The outside of the city wall is covered with green bricks, and the inside is filled with loess to prevent bombardment. Wells were dug in the city to prevent water from being cut off. There is a moat around to prevent sneak attacks, and the land of projectiles can be described as impregnable.
The reason why this Anshan post fort was built in this way is because it is the gateway connecting northern Liaoning, southern Liaoning and western Liaoning, and guarding the key points of the ancient road in southern Liaoning. If you want to go to Liaoyang and Shenyang from Haizhou City, this is the place you must pass.
Today's Anshan Post Fort has long since lost its former prosperity, and the business travel that used to come and go has long been cut off. However, because of the extreme importance of this place, Jianyu also sent troops to garrison it.
In May of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, there was a battle here. Mao Wenlong led his army to attack Anshan Station, forcing the slave chief Nurhachi, who was on an expedition to Mongolia at that time, to rush back overnight.
At this time, Ying Erdai's plan was to prepare to gather the soldiers and horses here and return to Haizhou City to entangle those Ming troops.
On the way away, plenty of time gave him a chance to think.
Ying Erdai had already figured out that if the Ming army was killed from the Ningjin line, there would inevitably be news from there. However, there was no news from there.
That can only show that there is definitely no war between Ningyuan and Jinzhou. Because it was impossible for the Ming army to do it, they could defeat Ningyuan and Jinzhou, but none of them could escape back.
In this way, the origin of this Ming army is very clear, and there is only one possibility that they will suddenly appear in Haizhou, that is, they will come from the sea by boat.
And coming from the sea by boat, and still riding troops, it must not be too much.
The Denglai Sailor of the Ming Kingdom has already existed in name only, and there are still some ships going to and from Juehua Island under the jurisdiction of Shanhaiguan, plus the Ming army has collected some more, and it is great to be able to smuggle over 3,000 horses in the sky.
Since there are not many troops, how can Ying Erdai give up after suffering such a big loss! It can even be said that the Qing Dynasty has never suffered such a big loss, the emperor must be angry, the whole country will be angry, and he must not escape from it!
If you sneak back to Haizhou City after being defeated by the Ming army, it will be really embarrassing to go home!
At this time, looking at the Anshan Post Fort in the distance, Ying Erdai suddenly felt a little strange.
It's the middle of the night, why are the torches shining in the sky and the voices of people in Anshan Yibao being heard so far away?
Could it be that Anshan Post Fort has already received the news, so it is gathering troops and horses?
When Ying Erdai was thinking of this, he saw the side of Anshan Post Fort, and suddenly the drawbridge was lowered, the city gate was wide open, and a team of men and horses, holding torches, came out and came to him.
