Chapter 50 The first phase of the demolition project
Regarding the strategy offered by Jin Yiwei, Mao Wenlong was not very sure in his heart.
But because of the brocade guard's words, this plan was determined by His Majesty, and Mao Wenlong had to obey it.
Since the departure of that team, Mao Wenlong has caused his generals Huang Long, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and others to attract a big tent.
He ordered each of them to gather a thousand men of his men, and when they heard the sound of the explosion, they immediately attacked the city.
When the generals heard this, they all looked at each other.
But Mao Wenlong's order could not be ignored, and although everyone had doubts, they still carried it out.
And Mao Wenlong also waited anxiously in the big tent, until this loud sound broke through the sky and went straight into the sky.
In the silence, it is like a sharp sword cutting through the night.
Mao Wenlong suddenly ran out of the tent in ecstasy, and looked at the direction of the city wall by a glimmer of dawn, but saw that the smoke was full of smoke and dust, and the effect of the explosion was difficult to judge for a while.
At this time, the 4,000 people who had already assembled also looked nervously at the dusty city wall.
After a few moments, the smoke cleared, and the wall was reduced to dust.
"The generals will obey!"
"No!"
"Siege now!"
"Kill the Tartars!"
"Kill the Tartars!"
"Kill these brutes!"
As soon as Mao Wenlong gave an order, all the soldiers shouted loudly, and rushed to the city of Yizhou like a tiger descending from the mountain.
At this time, in the city of Yizhou, before the Houjin army could react from the explosion just now, they saw thousands of Ming soldiers holding big swords, firearms, and spears, shouting "Kill the Tartars", and rushed in from the collapsed city wall.
At this time, there were only eight or nine hundred and eight banner troops in the city, and before they could assemble, they were rushed by the four thousand Ming troops who suddenly came in, and they fell behind in an instant.
And Huang Long, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and other generals all took the lead, holding sharp blades and fighting desperately.
With just a stick of incense, it firmly occupies the gap in this section of the city wall.
When Mao Wenlong saw that he had won the first battle, he ordered his deputy general Chen Jisheng to lead the remaining more than 5,000 soldiers to rush into the city to help.
Nine thousand against nine hundred, Rao is Houjin Eight Banners were all brave, but they were soon defeated and retreated by the Ming army, which had an absolute numerical advantage.
In the city, the area controlled by the Houjin army was gradually compressed.
When the sky was bright, all the remaining Houjin Eight Banners were huddled in the Yizhou Mansion to make a final resistance.
Kong Youde was about to lead his troops to rush in and destroy the last of the Tartars, but was stopped by Shang Kexi.
"Big brother, slow down, see how the younger brother kills this group of beasts."
Shang Kexi's eyes were red, he took the torch handed over by the general, and threw it into the mansion.
Seeing this, the rest of the sergeants threw their torches into the government office, and the Yizhou government fell into a sea of fire in an instant.
"Archer prepare!"
After throwing the torches, Shang Kexi ordered the archers to step forward again, and when they saw a Tartar rushing out, they shot arrows to kill.
"Don't shoot an arrow to death, let these brutes suffer more."
Shang Kexi clenched his spear tightly and commanded with anger trembling all over.
Shang Kexi was originally a native of Haizhou in eastern Liaodong, but after the defeat of Guangning, Haizhou was lost, and his mother and sisters were humiliated and killed by the Tartars.
After the brothers Shang Kexi and Shang Keyi escaped from Haizhou with their father Shang Xueli, they joined the Dongjiang Army.
However, his father was also killed by the Later Jin Army in the subsequent campaign.
Almost all of the Shang family died at the hands of the Houjin Tartars, and Shang Kexi's hatred for the Houjin was uncompromising.
But there is no need for Shang Kexi to order, almost all of the officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army have a blood feud with the Houjin Tartars, but when they saw a Tartar rushing out of the sea of fire, they only shot their legs.
Within moments, dozens of Tartars lay on the ground, wailing and being burned to the ground.
The officers and men of the Dongjiang Army all had red eyes, and many of them knelt down to mourn the heavens.
"Daddy, the child has avenged you!"
"Uncle, my nephew has avenged you!"
"Sister sister, brother has avenged you!"
At the end of Wanli, there were more than 4 million Han people in Liaodong, and there were less than 1 million left in the last year of the Apocalypse.
In just ten years, more than 3 million Han people in Liaodong were slaughtered, and in a few years, every family in Liaodong wore filial piety, and every household was empty.
So there was the previous scene.
"Alas, the military and people of Liaodong have been suffering for a long time, and the people's hearts can be used, and the people's hearts can be used!"
Mao Wenlong, who came later, looked at the previous scene and sighed.
"Father-in-law, this battle is really happy, the child has not been killed so well for a long time, alas, it's a pity that these real Tartar heads are burned, and they are not human-shaped."
Geng Zhong bowed to Mao Wenlong with unfinished intentions.
"The father-in-law is really a man of God, and he has such a strategy to destroy the enemy, and the child is really admired by the five-body throwing to the ground."
All the soldiers bowed and complimented.
At this time, with the leader of the brocade guard by his side, Mao Wenlong didn't dare to take credit, and told him repeatedly.
"This time the city is the work of His Majesty's clever plan, how dare the marshal be arrogant, you don't want to trap the marshal in injustice."
As he spoke, Mao Wenlong knelt down first and bowed again and again in the direction of Shanhaiguan.
Before, Mao Wenlong was instructed by the brocade guard not to disclose the siege plan, and he could only say it here.
When the generals heard this, they all looked at the deputy general Chen Jisheng, and saw that Chen Jisheng also nodded, and the generals were convinced.
Then they all knelt down and bowed down with Mao Wenlong.
After the siege of the city, the Dongjiang army rested here for two days, and after leaving 10,000 strong men to be demolished, they marched to the hinterland of Houjin.
--------
Two days later, in a mansion in the city of Uiju.
"Little brother, little brother, come quickly, come quickly."
The eldest brother of the Liu family shouted excitedly, and after the younger brother of the Liu family came, he pointed to a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table like a treasure, and said with a smug face.
"Brother didn't lie to you."
"Brother, it's really, there are really a lot of treasures in Yizhou City, and you really found it, now you can learn to write with Uncle Chen seriously."
The younger brother carefully wrapped the set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in a piece of oilcloth and stuffed it into his baggage.
"Hurry up and rummage through it, see what other good things can be used, tomorrow we will set off to chase Mao Shuai, according to our team's little flag officer, when we come back, this city will be burned, I heard that the city wall will also be blown up."
The elder brother said to the younger brother while rummaging through things.
"Ah, why? This city is so good, can we stay and live? ”
"We can't hold it, the little flag officer said, this time our Dongjiang army took advantage of the absence of the little slave chief and the main force of the Tartars to go ashore to attack the city, and when the little slave chief comes back, it will definitely be recaptured."
Speaking of this, the eldest brother of the Liu family followed the example of the little flag officer, arched his hand in the direction of the capital, and said.
"Your Majesty said, since you can't hold it, it can't be left to the Tartars, and before you retreat, you must destroy the city, so that the Tartars will come back and have no land to live in."
After saying that, the elder brother of the Liu family laughed to himself, as if he thought of the appearance of the tartar who wanted to cry without tears when he came back and looked at the ruined city.
The younger brother also laughed when he heard this.
"Yes, if it is destroyed, it can't be left to the Tartars, Your Majesty is really wise."
Speaking of which, the younger brother seemed to remember another thing.
"Brother, have you heard? A few days ago, the city was broken, and it was said that it was a clever plan of His Majesty, and overnight, the originally strong city cracked a big hole, and our Dongjiang army attacked it. ”
"Of course I heard about it, it's not a clever plan, it is said that His Majesty led the sky to thunder and split that section of the city wall, just like the Wei Gelding who was killed before."
The elder brother swore an oath, but still did not stop the work in his hand, and a porcelain teapot with a broken mouth was put into the blanket while he spoke.
Within three days, Zhu Youzhen's news of splitting the city wall with lightning for thousands of miles spread throughout Dongjiang Town, and then spread to the Liaodong region.
