Chapter 22: Sealing the Knife
Thank you for the reward of the "Daxia Dragon Sparrow 91"!
........
After giving the order to set fire, Gonggong Wei put this matter behind him, because the banner soldiers who were still stubbornly resisting attracted the attention of his old man again.
After discovering that the attacking Ming army suddenly abandoned them, and instead plundered everywhere, and pursued the people of the fort, Han Zhengtai, the leader of the fort, actually gathered more than 100 banner soldiers to try to break out.
After being blocked back, Han Zhengtai did not panic, but recruited the banner people in the fort, issued weapons, and blocked the Ming army with the favorable terrain.
And firmly control the wooden bridge into the inner fort, and the houses on both sides are deployed with guns, it seems that they are holding on to help.
In this regard, Grandpa Wei admired it very much.
He had always admired courageous people, so after waiting for the infantry brigade to arrive, he handed over the task of dealing with the remnants of the fort in one fell swoop to the Imperial Guard, which had just been formed for less than two days, consisting of 80 Jurchen soldiers and 150 Han people.
These Jurchen soldiers and Han people were carefully selected, and if the Jurchen soldiers were brothers in one place, their brothers would stay in one place, and their fathers and sons would stay in one place. The Hermes-Epitek chose those whose families were in the Kuandian area, and who voluntarily voted for the Jurchens rather than being taken into captivity.
Wei Gonggong hoped that every time he captured a fort, he could select from the original Jianzhou defenders in the fort to form an imperial guard and act as an auxiliary force for the Ming Imperial Army.
In the future, it is necessary to set up the Imperial Association in the Wa Kingdom, Dongfan, and even Nanyang, Europa, and other places, and when the strength of the army reaches a certain scale, it will be upgraded to the Imperial Guard Army and the Imperial Cooperative Army, for the sake of public security warfare.
The two captains of the Changdian Imperial Guard were the Jurchen Fagulun, who had previously been the vest under the commander Ma Dali. The other is the Han People-Epitek Niu Zhu, who was originally an Aha who died in the house of the Jurchen soldiers of Changdian.
"If you can't take it, you all have to die."
After saying this to the two captains of the Imperial Guard, the father-in-law reined in and watched the battle from afar. The reason why I watched the battle from a distance was not that my father-in-law was afraid of death, but that my father-in-law didn't like the smell of blood.
After a brief moment of stunnedness, Fei Gulun and Niu Zhu glanced at each other, then gritted their teeth and led their men to rush towards the wooden bridge guarded by the Yellow Banner Goryeo soldiers.
The equipment of the imperial guard was very rudimentary, only half of them received armor, and there were only about a dozen wooden shields in their hands, and the weapons were mainly knives and spears, and there were only about thirty bows, and there were no guns.
The Zhenghuang Banner soldiers on the opposite side had stabilized under the command of Han Zhengtai after experiencing panic, formed a defensive line, and had a large number of bows and arrows and a small number of firearms, so in the first round of charge, the Imperial Guard was forced to retreat after paying twenty or thirty lives.
Fagulen and Niu Zhu were also carried out by the crowd, but they had not retreated far before the sound of a bell sounded behind them, and then there was a commotion in the procession, and the retreating crowd was fixed there.
"Go back!"
Taro Higashimura led a group of army warriors to approach step by step, and after passing by the few Imperial Guard soldiers who were knocked to the ground by guns, Higashimura violently slashed off the head of a pigtailed Jurchen soldier, and then threw the head in front of him with his braids.
The soldiers of the Imperial Guard were visibly shocked by the actions of the Imperial Warriors, and they watched in horror.
"Ready!"
Higashimura's command knife was erected, and one hundred and ten fire guns were suddenly raised in unison. In the rear, hundreds of well-dressed Ming troops were slowly advancing.
"Go back! Get back! ”
Fegulen shouted and cursed, knowing that if they didn't return, the Ming army would really shoot them all. Niu Zhu exhaled, thinking that his life was originally picked up, and now it must be a dead end to go back, so it is better to fight with the Zhenghuang Banner stick soldiers in the fort. If he wins the battle, maybe the Duke of Wei from Jingshi can really save his wife and daughter.
"If you want to see your wife and children alive, go back with me!"
Niu Zhu raised the wooden shield in his hand and slashed a few stunned companions with the back of his knife. In the midst of the commotion, the remnants of the Imperial Guard had to rush back to the wooden bridge. They roared loudly to suppress the fear in their hearts.
"Father-in-law, I'm afraid these people are unusable, so let me bring someone on it."
Hu Quan shook his head, thinking that these Jurchen soldiers and Han people in Changdian Fort had already been frightened, and now they were only helping the rabble, and it was impossible to break through the defense line of the Jianzhou soldiers in the fort. In order to resolve the battle as quickly as possible, he proposed that he lead the army warriors to attack. The courage of the remnants of the Goryeo stick soldiers in the fort was commendable, but it was impossible to stop the brave assault of the imperial soldiers.
Gonggong Wei didn't allow it, he only looked at the group of imperial guards with interest, and he was very much looking forward to the performance of the imperial guards.
The yellow flag soldiers in the fort were desperately resisting, and the guns and arrows kept shooting towards the bridge. The Imperial Guard suffered heavy casualties, from time to time someone was injured and fell into the river, and some soldiers who were wounded and fell on the bridge blocked the way.
"Push them down!"
Niu Zhu pushed a Jurchen soldier in front of him into the river with red eyes and without saying a word, and then rushed up with a wooden shield shouting "Ahhhhh
Kimurabu received the order to attack, and under the powerful fire of the guns, the stubborn Koryeo soldiers of the Jeonghuang Banner suffered heavy casualties. Taking advantage of the gap in the defense line of the Goryeo soldiers, Niu Zhu successfully broke through with more than a dozen imperial guards.
"Itachi!"
The Ming Imperial Army of the Kimura Department let out a roar, and the firearms armed with sharp knives also poured in. The Zhenghuang Banner soldiers in the fort couldn't resist, and the Ming army that poured in like a tide made them panic again as if they had been attacked by a sneak attack before, and soon they retreated one after another, and the collapse was formed again, no matter how the leader Han Zhengtai was suppressed, the soldiers couldn't help but flee in a hurry.
Because the casualties just now were too serious, the dozens of imperial guards who broke through actually cut down people when they saw them, whether they were soldiers or civilians, men or women.
Some of the Zhenghuang Banner soldiers who had no way to escape had to resist to the death. Witnessing the killing of their husbands and sons, some North Korean women rushed madly at the influx of Ming troops, punching, kicking, and even biting their teeth.
Han Zhengtai struggled with dozens of flag soldiers, and he wanted to gather more flag soldiers, but every time he gathered some, he was blown away by the Ming army's gunning team. From time to time, women and children who fled in all directions swept them to pieces.
There were too many Ming troops, and at a glance they knew that they were several times their own, and they were either frightened by the people who were colorless, or the soldiers who ran fast on their legs, and these people rushed them to pieces.
In the end, Han Zhengtai gave up resistance and chose to run to the reeds like Jia La'e Zhen Kim Deqing. Those banner soldiers have been able to hold on until now, all because of the courage of Lord Zuoling, and now that the backbone of the main body has also run away, they have also lost the heart of resistance, and they have surrendered on their knees.
Han Zhengtai ran desperately out of the fort, with corpses lying behind him, and there was a miserable sound of help in his ears. He couldn't bear to listen to those helps, he just wanted to get out alive.
But when he successfully ran out of the fort from the pursuit of the Ming army, the sight in front of him made him "pounce" and fall to the ground in despair.
As far as the eye can see, the endless reeds are blazing with fire, and the smoke is blowing in the wind.
In the distance, in the small Dian Fort, several knights with small pennants on their backs were repeating the orders of Gonggong Wei.
"Seal the knife! Seal the knife! ”
