447 [Emperor's Depression]

Yuan Da decisively divided twenty people to deal with the remnants of Dole on the other side of the Shangjia River.

Although there were two hundred of those remnants, they swam across the Suzi River when they fled, and then hurried back to the division on foot, and just swam across the Shangjia River, and were driven back halfway through the swim. At this moment, they were all lying on the other side exhausted, neither wanting to fight nor fleeing, but just wanting to rest happily for a while.

"Get up, get up!" Doler was also tired, but he knew he couldn't fall, and roared and mobilized his soldiers to cross the river to fight.

Dole's brother sat by the river, panting and shaking his head: "Brother, I can't fight, I'm so tired that my legs tremble, how can I still have the strength to swim to the other side of the river?" ”

"If you don't have the strength, you have to fight, hurry up!" Doler drank.

Another cronie said: "Even if I could swim through, I was slashed by the officers and soldiers guarding there." ”

Doler pointed further upstream: "The river over there is narrower, and it's far from the stockade, so let's run over and cross the river again." We have 200 people here, and only a few hundred officers and soldiers have crossed the river, so we can win the battle with the inside and outside of the village! ”

After repeated urging and encouragement, the two hundred remnants rested for a while, and finally followed Dole upstream.

The twenty people separated by Yuan Da also followed to the upstream area across the river from Dole.

The remaining more than 400 soldiers, under the leadership of Yuan Da, launched many feints on Gule Village, constantly looking for the enemy's defensive weaknesses.

The walls of this dilapidated village are very low, less than a zhang high, and are mainly made of earth, with only a few places using stone. The walls are full of old and weak women and children, most of the weapons are farm tools, and some old people and teenagers are also using bows and arrows.

Out of nowhere, a bone arrow flew right in Yuan Da's cheek. However, the power was already very weak, and it didn't shoot into the gums, which hurt Yuan Da's teeth.

"Boom!"

A hundred muskets were fired, and an old Jurchen man fell from the wall, and the rest were all so frightened that they shrunk their necks to dodge.

Suddenly, the soldier in charge of observing the situation ran over: "General, the earthen wall over there is shorter, but there are more Jurchens guarding the wall. ”

"In the past!" Yuan Da made a quick decision.

Of the 500 cavalry of the Beijing battalion, eight were killed and wounded, and another twenty were sent to intercept the enemy forces on the opposite bank.

The remaining four hundred and seventy-two people were divided into three hundred-man teams by Yuan Da, who took turns to suppress the enemy on the wall with a salvo. Yuan Da led 172 people by himself, carried the logs used in crossing the river, and took advantage of the gap between the fire suppression to put them on the root of the earthen wall.

The earthen wall here is about two meters high, and more than 20 logs can almost rush up with one log.

During this period, two more cavalrymen were killed, and more than a dozen people suffered arrow wounds of varying severity.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Three consecutive rounds of salvos of 100 people, the defenders on the wall did not dare to raise their heads at all, and the gunpowder that Yuan Da brought to cross the river was almost consumed.

As soon as the salvo was completed, Yuan Da waved his knife and charged: "Kill!" ”

There was no firepower suppression, and Yuan Da charged forward with one hundred and sixty people. The three hundred-man team also put away their muskets, raised their knives and rushed forward, and at this time, the Jurchens on the other side of the Suzi River also began to fight among themselves.

Yuan Da stepped on the stepped logs, and had already rushed to the wall, his shoulders a few inches higher than the head of the wall.

hoes, poles, sticks. The shuttle darts beckoned one after another, Yuan Da shrank his head, grabbed a hoe, and pulled down an old Jurchen man who was guarding the city. Immediately afterwards, Yuan Da got up and swept again, cutting off the calf of a Jurchen woman.

These Jurchens were still in the barbarian era, not only did they not know how to build cities, but they also did not know how to defend them, and they did not even prepare fire oil and gold juice...... It may also be that Yuan Da sent troops too quickly, so fast that the Jurchens did not have time to collect the things that defended the city.

However, a Jurchen old man with an aristocratic appearance suddenly shouted: "Cast the net!" ”

The Jurchens belong to the fishing and hunting people, and their farming skills are not good, but they are good at fishing. When I went to see a few large nets sprinkled, it was like rowing a boat to catch fish, and at least more than 30 besieging Ming troops were caught in the net.

"it!"

Yuan Da was also caught in the net, and then he was hit by a stone again, and almost fainted on the spot.

Niu Zhen, who has been promoted to 100 households, was scolded by Wang Yangming when he was copying silver in Nanchang, and he was ashamed to no longer listen to Xu Tai's orders. He covered his head with the edge of the net, lifted it and threw it away, and then slammed onto the earthen wall.

A shuttle dart pierced Niu Zhen's arm, and a wrought iron knife slashed Niu Zhen's shoulder. This thing swung his knife and slashed in pain, hacking to death and injuring several Jurchen old and weak, and the soldiers behind him took the opportunity to climb the wall one after another.

Although these Beijing cavalry are not wearing armor at the moment, they are all strong and strong, and they are full of fine sabers.

The Jurchens on the walled wall are all old and weak, women and children, using the most primitive weapons.

Once it is attacked on the wall, it becomes a one-sided massacre, and this battle is really not interesting, it is purely to bully the weak.

By the time Yuan Da got rid of the fishing nets, his subordinates had already occupied this section of the wall, and the infighting on the other side of the Suzi River had already been decided.

Cui Xian came with Buha to cross the river, and shouted at the audience: "I am Buha, Dole is dead, hurry up and open the city to meet Wang Shi!" ”

Yuan Da was leading the troops to chase and kill the old and weak defending the city, and when he heard Buha's voice at this moment, the Jurchen old and weak knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and soon the south gate of Gule Village was automatically opened.

Yuan Da asked his subordinates to disarm the surrendered enemy soldiers, and walked out of the gate with blood stained on his body.

Bu Ha hurriedly knelt down and flattered: "Sinner Minister, Bu Ha, meet the general of the Celestial Empire!" ”

"you!"

Yuan Da kicked the old man over, and said angrily: "If you want to surrender, don't hurry up, and cause Lao Tzu to break more than 30 brothers!" ”

More than thirty were killed and seriously wounded, and dozens more were lightly wounded.

In the absence of siege equipment, capturing the nest of the right guard of Jianzhou Jurchen, paying this casualty can be said to be a big victory.

But Yuan Da's corporals are all elite cavalry, and it takes several years to cultivate, and there are only more than 3,000 such elite cavalry in the entire Ming Dynasty. Fighting with a group of old and weak women and children, he actually killed and seriously injured more than 30 people, and slightly injured nearly 100 people, Yuan Da even had an urge to slaughter the village.

Buha was so frightened that he trembled, he originally wanted to make meritorious contributions to the village, and he would definitely be able to get the position of the leader of the right guard of Jianzhou. But I never thought that as soon as I surrendered to cross the river, the officers and soldiers would actually capture part of the stockade.

This dedication to the village has been discounted!

Buha cried: "The criminals also want to hurry, and they all complain that Dole's cronies refuse to surrender. The general, the criminal minister, took his subordinates and killed all Dole's brothers and cronies, and gave this evil breath for the general! ”

"Go ahead!" Yuan Da said depressedly.

Buha immediately led his men and stormed the stockade to massacre. The core members of the Dole family, as long as they remained in the village, were all killed by Buha.

And poor Dole, with two hundred remnants of the army, crossed the river in the upper reaches of the Shangjia River, and was killed several times and returned to the opposite bank, with less than a hundred people left at the moment. The more than 100 people who disappeared don't know if they are dead, or if they have a mental breakdown and run away directly.

Dole could only go back downstream, at the confluence of the two rivers, across the river to see the situation of Gule Village.

Soon, Dole saw the flag change, and it was clear that his stockade had been captured. With tears in his eyes, he said to the nearly 100 soldiers around him: "Let's go, go to the old camp, and one day I will come back!" ”

The old camp in Jianzhou is the birthplace of the Jianzhou Nuzhen, and the Chenghua Dynasty was once served off by the whole pot. Decades have passed, and the old camp in Jianzhou has slowly recovered its population, but it is still poor and weak, and even bullied by the Haixi Jurchens and the savage Jurchens.

In this way, Nurhachi's maternal great-grandfather, Dole, dressed in wet clothes, fled into the mountains and forests with the remnants of the army, and ran to join Nurhachi's great-great-grandfather.

It's just that Nurhachi's maternal great-grandmother was killed by the traitor Buha in Gulzhai.

Nurhachi's grandfather, Wang Gao, didn't even have a chance to be born in this time and space.

When Dole fled to the old camp in Jianzhou, it was already a cold winter. They robbed Jurchen villages along the way, coerced Jurchen young and strong soldiers, and actually grew to more than 500 people. However, nearly half of the nearly 100 soldiers who fled with Dole died in battle and died of illness on the way, and they could only bow down and be small when they arrived at the old camp in Jianzhou.

……

The main force led by Zhu Houzhao and Wang Yuan, only thirty miles away from the Boundary Domain, received a good news from the forward troops.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have made a victorious start!" Wang Yuan congratulated the civilian officials and generals of the accompanying army.

Zhu Houzhao's expression was very strange, he rushed to Liaodong to fight, and it was already over halfway.

Zhu Houzhao held the good news in his hand, he wanted to speak again and again, sullen, and finally said for a long time: "This Zhao Da (Yuan Da) is worthy of being Erlang's junior brother, and the battle is a little too fierce." I let him be the pioneer, not let him attack the city. Really, really...... Outrageous! ”

Wang Yuan didn't know how to answer, so he could only say: "Your Majesty, this is a blessing." ”

Zhu Houzhao thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "The troops have already been dispatched, so it's better to go to fight the left guard of Jianzhou again." ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, if you go to Jianzhou Zuowei, you need to go over the mountains and mountains, and it will be a cold winter season." Please ask Your Majesty to take the class as soon as possible, even if you don't return to the capital, you should at least go back to Liaoyang for the winter. ”

Wu Jie, the imperial doctor accompanying the army, also said: "Your Majesty's old illness must not suffer from the cold. Liaodong is colder than Beijing, and if you get sick in the mountains, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to heal. ”

Zhu Houzhao wanted to scold his mother very much, so he threw the whip angrily: "Go back to Liaoyang!" ”

Other emperors are looking forward to the invincibility of the generals, but Zhu Houzhao has a headache because of this. He wanted to conquer King Ning in person, and he won as soon as he left Beijing; He wanted to personally recruit the right guard of Jianzhou, and he finished running in the middle of the night. Could it be that the next time you send troops, you have to let the emperor be the pioneer, so that you can fight a battle in person?
