Chapter 34: The Trap
Gaizhou City is the Gaizhou Acropolis of Ming Dynasty, less than ten miles away from the seaside, change the earth city to a brick city during the Hongwu period, the blue bricks are paved with stones, seven miles and three steps around, the pool is three feet deep and five feet, one foot and eight feet wide.
It's definitely a fortified city.
It can control the island, the wing belt town (refers to Liaoyang), the Jingyi Lie, called Yin'an, is the root of Liaodong.
In the past, it was still an important trading town in eastern Liaodong, and there were many sea and land merchants, and there was an endless stream of boats and vehicles. But with the change of hands in Liaodong, the once prosperous sea and land trade no longer existed, and even the ports in the west of the city were all deserted.
But it was still an important part of Jianyu's control of the Liaodong Peninsula. Gaizhou connects Haizhou and Liaoyang in the north, together with the Liaodong Confucius, and Fuzhou and Jinzhou in the south, communicating the entire peninsula. Whether it is in the eyes of the old slave or in the eyes of Huang Taiji, it is very important.
In the fifth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led people to repair the city defense of Gaizhou. With the deputy general Shizhu Guo and the guerrilla Yashta leading 600 troops to garrison. Later, Shizhu was transferred abroad, and continued to guard the city with Yashta, and when Yashta died, Arkinga took over.
Now Aljinga has rushed to Haizhou with his troops, and the city of Gaizhou has also raised its vigilance. Have you found the enemy?
Although the remaining third-class Lazhang Jing Subatai did not feel that Gaizhou could be attacked at all.
Subatai, who was born in the Guerjia clan, was stationed in Gaizhou with the Shizhu State in his early years, and everyone was surnamed and from the same family. The latter doesn't look at a Chinese name, but he is a Jurchen who is a serious child. It is only because his family is mixed into the Ming system that he has the surname Han. It is the same nature as the Tong family.
Later, Kang Mazi married his crown prince to the crown princess Shi, who was the niece and granddaughter of Shizhuguo.
In the third year of Chongde (1638), Subatai conquered Shandong Province and Kejinan Mansion from Ming Province, and was given the name "Baturu". For four years, he was awarded the post of Niu Lu Zhangjing, and for six years he besieged Jinzhou with the army, made meritorious contributions, and was promoted to the rank of third-class Lazhangjing.
That is, one level lower than the second-class staff general of Yi Leshen, Huang Taiji Tiancong changed the original official name of the Ming Dynasty in the eighth year - the general, the guerrilla is Jia Lazhangjing, divided into three classes, the first and second class are the generals, and the third class is the guerrilla. Therefore, Subatai is Arkinga's deputy.
Just as Ilshen and Arking looked down on the Ming army in their hearts, so did Subatai. Jianyu's psychological advantage over the Ming army, one victory after another, was too huge.
In this way, when Zheng Sen led the team of the bald battalion and the volunteer battalion to land on the beach in the west of the city, the sound of the "bell bell" police gong sounded rapidly in the west of the city, which surprised everyone in the city.
How can there be enemies in the west of the city? It's a sea.
Subatai galloped to the west of the city, and as soon as he galloped to the bottom of the city, he heard a report: "Report to the master, there are about a thousand Ming troops coming across the sea, and it seems that they want to attack my Gaizhou!" ”
Subatai's mouth opened wide in surprise and said, "What's the situation?" The Ming army came across the sea, and thousands of people wanted to cover the state? ”
He's sick in the head. Subatai just wanted to ask the general of the Ming army.
Strode up to the city, looked out, not to mention, the Ming army outside was really a thousand people, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help laughing: "This can't be Zheng Zhilong's army, right?" ”
In the Songjin War last year, Shen Tingyang led a ship to transport grain to Songshan, and he was a member of the war. In that battle, the Ming army fought very fiercely, but this battle formation can't be seen by the past, but by the result?
The menacing Ming army of more than 100,000 fell apart, and that was the result.
And the elite nine-sided border army like the Ming Court is vulnerable, so can a Haikou pulled out from the south really have combat power?
Subatai looked out of the city, the Ming army was loose, and the soldiers could not see the slightest fierceness, but more like a nest of people, which reminded him of the Jiangdong army back then......
"Master, the minions watched the battle at the head of the city, and the Nikansons outside the city were sagging, and the march was buzzing, like ordinary people were better than like soldiers. And there are more than 100 bannermen in my Gaizhou City, hundreds of coats, and it is not easy to defeat the Ming army outside the city? ”
"Assemble the team."
The minion's words entered Subatay's heart, and that's exactly what he thought. I was very excited, and I saw a piece of oily fat meat when I saw the Ming army outside the city.
The build-up of the Qing army took time, and as the Ming army outside the city moved closer. The Qing troops at the head of the city were all gearing up, and when they got closer, they saw more and more clearly, and the Ming troops outside the city, with their thin bodies and scattered queues, could not fight at a glance.
The smile on Subatai's lips grew.
I saw that most of the Ming troops outside the city were in rags, rushing along the abandoned official road in the west of the city. Most of them don't even have a mandarin duck battle robe, and they seem to be soldiers with a gun and a knife.
A few others rode horses and armor and galloped back and forth in front of the procession, shouting at the foot soldiers. In Subatai's eyes, it was more like the Jiangdong Army back then.
The number of people is a bit large, and the dust brought up along the way is very large, and it even covers the rear army of the Ming army, and it is not clear in a daze. This number is by no means just a thousand.
But Subatai is not afraid at all. What about more people? Such rotten soldiers are just pigs and sheep to be slaughtered.
The Ming army outside the city stopped when it reached a stone's throw away, and began to form a team in a chaotic manner, and it was a mess.
The gate of Gaizhou City was suddenly opened, and Subatai rushed out of the city gate cave first, leading nearly 200 banners in his hand, plus hundreds of coats, as if it was a scorching torrent, straight towards the scattered and weak Ming army.
The latter are all bald soldiers, and Zheng Zhilong doesn't have a large number of mandarin duck battle jackets in his hands, so he wears them one by one.
Li Wu rode on horseback and ran shouting, and the bald soldiers under his command melted away in an instant like snow poured with hot water. It was as if he had entered a no-man's land. In all directions, in any direction, everywhere you run.
Li Wu is Li Wu, the bald soldier who first ascended in Yaozhou City, and was promoted by Zheng Zhilong as the head of the bald army. The official position looks not small, but it has no status in Zheng Jun.
The performance of the Ming army made Subatai dumbfounded. This sucks, right? It turned out to be even weaker than the Jiangdong Army back then!
But the experience of the war told him that this was not the time for him to hunt down those defeated soldiers separately, and it was still the most important thing to completely defeat the Ming army.
Forcefully clamped the horse's belly, urged the war horse to continue running, and pointed forward with the arm holding the big knife: "Kill!" ”
It was going straight to the rear of the Ming army.
Behind Subatai, hundreds of horse armor soldiers followed, and then there were another hundred and ten banner soldiers. After all of them rushed out of Gaizhou City, there were hundreds of waste firewood wrappers who followed behind their butts and shouted six-six-six.
The few Jianlu and Baoyi who stayed behind at the head of the city all laughed when they saw this situation. They pointed out of the city, as if they were juggling.
Subatai didn't care about the back at all, but only urged the war horse vigorously and moved forward bravely.
And all the Ming troops who saw Subatai showed a look of horror and fled frantically to both sides. Subatai didn't think it was a fake, and Ming Jun's expression was as timid as a dog slave seeing an angry master. Subathai only treated them as lambs to the slaughter. It was a cheerful soldier who crashed headlong into this trap laid for him.
In the dust, Subatai, who rushed in front, suddenly found that the Ming army in front of him no longer fled to both sides, but stood there motionless like a wooden stake, which was a bit abnormal.
But he couldn't see it clearly. At this time, the distance between each other was less than a hundred steps.
When things go wrong, there must be demons. Years of battlefield experience have taught him that there may be danger ahead. Subatai quickly slowed down, but by this time it was too late.
By the time the speed slowed down, the distance between the two sides was only thirty or fifty paces, and he finally saw the situation of the Ming army in front of him. And this one didn't matter, and he was suddenly frightened.
In front of him, rows of spears were leaning there. Behind the spears are rows of Ming shotgunners, each holding a bird's gun. There was a cone-like spear head on top of the bird's gun, and the cold light was shining, and his heart was chilled after stabbing him.
