Chapter 82: Sin is not punishable
The slaves galloped back and forth, stepping on the frozen ground soaked in blood and water under Xiping Fort, and began a new round of slaughter.
Nurha, dressed in a mink fur, stood at the place where Luo Cheng and Chen Shangren committed suicide, without any excitement on her face.
Without it, because the time to break through a Xiping Fort has greatly exceeded his expectations.
Tens of thousands of troops attacked an earthen fort garrisoned by only 3,000 Ming troops, and it took two days, and the number of injured troops was twice as many as the Ming army.
Every time he thought of this, Nurhachi's heart became even angrier.
If the next Ming towns are like this, then Dajin will never be able to enter the level!
Nurhachi held the big knife, turned his head and said: "Cut off the heads of these two Ming dogs and hang them at the head of the city, in Xiping Fort, and leave no one alive!" β
In fact, before Nurhachi ordered the slaughter of the city, the Houjin soldiers and horses who entered the city had already moved, and whether this order was given or not, the soldiers and civilians of Xipingbao would definitely not have a chance to live.
Since Nurhachi began to be constantly harassed by Mao Wenlong, this unwritten rule appeared in the Jin army, every time a city is broken, the light ones are slaughtered, and the heavy ones are not left behind.
In the city, the Houjin army was still wielding a knife to slaughter, and a Goshha ran back from a distance, dismounted and knelt down and said: "Great Khan, there is a large Ming army coming from the south, it is the reinforcement of Guangning." β
Nurhachi glanced at him, gasped and asked:
"Who is leading the troops?"
"Back to the Great Khan, it is Sun Degong, about 30,000 troops." Goshha didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said.
Hearing this, Nurhachi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed wildly.
Wang Huazhen didn't know that his henchman Sun Degong had already passed on a private message to Nurhachi and secretly lowered Houjin.
Judging from Nurhachi's many years of combat experience against the Ming army in Liaodong, whether the Ming army can have combat effectiveness mainly depends on who the minister and the general of the army are.
The brave generals lead the team, and the Ming army is a group of lions.
Xiping Fort is the best example, the 3,000 Ming army, led by Luo Zhengyi, although the whole army was destroyed in the end, the Houjin army paid double the price.
But now it is a traitor like Sun Degong who is coming, and it is a fool like Wang Huazhen who is dispatched in the rear.
Don't say 30,000, that is, 130,000 come, that is, a flock of sheep.
Thinking of this, Nurha showed his canine teeth arbitrarily and said with a cruel smile: "Wang Huazhen is not a fool, Sun Degong's straw bag can coax him around." β
"God bless Dajin, Zhu Ming's qi is exhausted!" Hong Taiji also laughed on the side.
Immediately, Nurhachi ordered the Houjin army to withdraw from Xiping Fort, meet the battle as a whole team, and take the initiative to attack the Ming army that came to help.
Sun Degong has already become a traitor, and this dispatch of troops is a farce from beginning to end.
The Ming army was already less than the Houjin army, but Sun Degong divided his troops into the left and right flanks, and ordered the general Qi Bingzhong to go into battle, while he retreated to the rear of the battle.
Soon, Hong Taiji led the two yellow flag vanguard slave cavalry to come and fight with Qi Bingzhong to one place.
"Boss, General Qi has encountered more than 10,000 slave cavalry, is fighting hard, and asks for help!"
Looking at the pacesetters who were covered in blood and rushed out of the enemy formation, Sun Degong sneered in his heart, but he did not give the order directly.
"Coach ββ?" The pacesetter didn't know why, and when he urged, he kept turning back to look.
The Ming army in the rear is still waiting for the order of the main general Sun Degong, and many people are gearing up to prepare for a big battle.
At this time, Sun Degong panicked and asked in a hurry: "Defeated?" β
"Defeated!" The lieutenant said loudly.
Hearing this, Sun Degong immediately led his own soldiers to flee first, and the remaining lieutenant generals had already made an appointment with him to reduce the gold and fled after him.
The commander and several of his main lieutenants fled quickly, and his own soldiers were nowhere to be seen.
The more than 20,000 Ming troops of the Chinese army looked at each other, and there was an uproar, and they discussed for a long time, and then dispersed in an instant.
"Why haven't the reinforcements come yet?"
"I don't know, General, let's rush out!"
Qi Bingzhong, who was fighting, saw that he would be surrounded by slaves and cavalry on all sides but there were still no reinforcements, so he struggled for a long time in his heart, and chose to give up the battle, turned his horse and left, and ran to Guangning.
Later, the Jin soldiers took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and went to the Nanshaling area of Guangning City, because the terrain was unfavorable, Qi Bingzhong had no choice but to turn around and attack, and did not stay for a long time, and fled again.
After fleeing for a few miles, the Guangning reinforcement Liu Zheng's department rushed to meet Qi Bingzhong, and the two joined forces to gather more than 10,000 Ming troops and start a big battle with the chasing Nurhachi.
In this battle, the deputy general Liu Zheng fell off his horse with an arrow, and was about to turn over his horse to fight again, when he was hacked to death by Turge, who caught up.
The guerrilla general Liu Shizhang, Zhonghong Taiji's hidden arrow, passed through the hip and was nailed to the saddle, and several slave horsemen rushed to him and dragged him to death on the horse.
General Qi Bingzhong was hit by two knives and three arrows, but fortunately he was rescued by his family, and led his family to fight to break out of the encirclement, but he was nowhere to be found.
Quang Ninh reinforced more than 40,000 troops, and near Shaling, the whole army was annihilated.
......
Dozens of miles away in Quang Ninh City, a few grains of dust fell.
Senator Wang Huazhen raised his head and looked at a stone square standing in the drum tower, his eyes full of regret and unwillingness.
This stone workshop, the whole body of dark purple sandstone casting, on which there are two dragons playing with pearls and four seasons flowers, and with the official book seal engraved "Tianchao Hao Coupon" four words.
In the eighth year of Wanli, the imperial court was built to commend Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong.
As soon as Wang Huazhen's eyes moved down from the stone workshop, the captains rushed to the front of the house with flags and reported loudly one after another.
"Sancha River defeated!"
"Xiping Fort has fallen!"
"The Wujing battalion was wiped out in Zhenwu Fort, and Liu Qu was killed in battle!"
Wang Huazhen's body shook, it's over, it's all over.
His face was like a white flag, and his blood rushed to the heavenly spirit, and he could no longer see the appearance of the temple that he had claimed to be like a god, but instead he was in a hurry and panicked.
"Sand Ridge defeated!"
"The slave cavalry has retreated!!"
Just when Wang Huazhen was paralyzed to the ground, a burst of cheers suddenly sounded in Guangning City, and the news of the retreat of the Houjin army rose out of nowhere and quickly swept the whole city.
"Retreated, retreated?" Wang Huazhen said in a trembling voice, as if she couldn't believe it.
A lieutenant ran over happily, all the way over, and his voice was hoarse.
"Great victory! Victory in Uiju! β
"Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Zhenjiang, went out of Phi Island, won five battles and five victories, recovered the entire territory of Yizhou, and also captured the fifth son of the slave chief, and was sent to Beijing to test his merits."
"The old slave was furious, and took the army to plunder, and turned back to Hetuala!"
The panicked civil servants breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to celebrate.
"Mao Wenlong..."Wang Huazhen muttered the name, with mixed emotions written in her eyes.
Not long ago, he also wrote to the Ministry of War more than once that Mao Wenlong had killed good people and was greedy for military salaries, and suggested that Dongjiang Town be abolished.
He didn't expect that it was Mao Wenlong who saved his life this time.
The next moment, a team of horsemen rushed outside the south gate of Guangning, led by a big red official suit, wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife hanging from his waist.
The brocade-clothed guard glanced at everyone, and with anger in his tone, asked:
"Who is Wang Huazhen!"
Wang Huazhen's heart tightened, straightened out his official uniform, and said dignifiedly: "This official is the Senate King of Guangningββ"
"Tie up!"
Before he finished speaking, the brocade guard said coldly:
"The emperor has a decree, Wang Huazhen, the senator of Guangning, and Zhang Heming, the secretary of the military department, form a party for personal gain, and do major things without permission.
"The emperor also said that the matter of Guangning should not have happened, because of the two of you, greedy for meritorious service, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians suffered because of this."
"Wait, the crime is not punishable!"
"Take it away!"
Looking at the horse-riding horseman, at this moment, Wang Huazhen's sky fell, he laughed at himself a few times, and took a few steps back as if he was fatal.
It seems that I still think simply.
Mao Wenlong saved him falsely, but it was true to kill him for some reason.
It is false for Yizhou to win and protect Guangning, but it is true to keep Xiong Tingbi.
