Chapter 83 [The Clearing of the River]
Seeing that the Ming army moved so quickly, he could suddenly frighten the Shun army general Zuo Guoyi on the opposite side, he hurriedly transferred the Shun army musketeers around the flank of the artillery battalion to his side, and the Ming army lancers took advantage of the time of the musketeers to move, took the lead in seizing the opportunity to kill in front of the battle, and slashed the rogue gunners loaded with shells.
The Ming spearmen behind him pursued while shooting, and Ma Wei fell off his horse in unbearable pain during the pursuit! was supported by the Ming army lancers and retreated into the city, while the rest of the Ming army lancers continued to pursue for two hundred meters, and suddenly pulled the reins under a slope? I saw that several rogue flags appeared on the slope, and a rogue general commanded with a command flag, "Archers, prepare, release." ”
(Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh) A sharp arrow quickly shot at the Ming spear cavalry, and most of the Ming army were stabbed and fell off their horses! At this time, the generals of the Shun army's commanders: Tian Jianxiu, and the Shun army's Zuo Weiwu general: Zhang Nai, the two stood up and laughed, "It's still the king's clever calculation!" I had long expected that Gu Kecheng would not be able to take Anton Zhong's guards, but I didn't expect it to be so! ”
The embarrassed Shunjun General Zuo Guoyi lowered his head and thanked, "Thank you two brothers for coming to the rescue, hurry up and defeat the Ming army defending the city in one fell swoop while the Ming army of Guyuan Wei has not yet arrived!" It just so happened that they thought so, too.
So the Liukou army was outflanked and went to Andong Zhong to protect in two ways, the Shun army left Weiwu general attacked from the right city gate, and the Shun army commander Zhu Battalion general attacked from the left city gate, which made the Ming army, which was not much in force, instantly increased the pressure tripled, and the Ming Andong Zhong guard Zhenfu was unfortunately killed when shooting the Liukou heavy armor soldiers!
Ming Andongzhong's guard commander Tongzhi was afraid that he would not be able to defend the city gate, so he wanted to retreat, but he was grabbed by Wu Junzhen's arm on the spot and reprimanded: "Commander Wei, Lord Tongzhi, how can you escape from the battle at such a critical moment?" He was speechless and did not know what to answer, so he remained in the city to fight the enemy.
After a while, the right side of the city gate was broken and killed by the Liukou, and the Liukou on the left side of the city gate encountered the resistance of the Ming Andongzhong Guard Commander failed to capture the city gate, so that more and more Liukou at the main gate climbed up the city tower to fight with the Ming army, Liu Ruilin had to put down his bow and draw his sword to kill the enemy, he realized that the city was afraid that it would not be able to hold it!
And Wu Junzhen also pulled out his saber and slashed with a block of ten, the situation was very unfavorable for the Ming army! Outside the city, the Liukou who had not yet landed in the city organized an artillery battalion to continue firing, and the battle continued until the dawn of the early dawn, and the day gradually darkened, and the Liukou who attacked the city at the main gate were forced down by Wu Junzhen and the generals one after another, only the chaos in the city made the Shun army Zuo Weiwu General take the opportunity to kill into the palace.
Hacked the guards to death and captured the Ming Pingliang prefect, and plundered the entire mansion inside and outside, which made the Ming army's defense of the city have a problem, and the Liukou attacked the Ming army on the city tower from the inside of the city, and the Liukou outside should be combined to eliminate them in one fell swoop.
When night fell, many rogues climbed the city tower to make the final fight with the Ming army, and the Ming Andong guard commanded the seven knives in his body and still slashed the enemy with a knife, but unfortunately he was hit by the rogue fire gunner, and his head slowly fell!
Immediately afterwards, the commander of the Ming Andongzhong guard outside the city was also stabbed off his horse and died by the Liukou spearmen, and the rest of the Ming Andongzhong guards Zhenfu and Ming Andongzhong Guard Xiaoqi and other generals were also hacked to death by the knife for resisting the Liukou, leaving only Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin to fight to the death ......with a hundred Ming troops.
In the end, Wu Junzhen was tied up on the spot by the hands and feet of the four rogues, and Liu Ruilin was chained by the rogues, at this moment Wu Junzhen scolded the rogues, which provoked the generals of the Shun army commanders and battalions to be angry and punched and kicked him, but the Shun army Zuo Weiwu general felt that he still had some integrity and wanted him to surrender to Dashun, so he and Liu Ruilin were locked in the side hall of the guard command post, and the liukou also confiscated the firearms of the Ming soldiers, and let them unload their armor to carry food.
Only Ma Wei outside the city was lucky, he watched the fall of the city and wanted to save Wu Junzhen, but he was persuaded by his 600 soldiers, and everyone said, "Lord Zong, don't go!" Just a few hundred of us aren't enough to stuff our teeth! Let's wait for reinforcements from Guhara Wei to arrive! ”
As soon as the words fell, Ma Wei thought that there was still a commander who had not yet joined the war? If he arrived, it was estimated that the odds would be greater, thinking of this, Ma Wei said excitedly: "Come with me to Wuting Pass to meet the commander of the capital." In this way, Ma Wei led the remnants of the army to retreat westward and retreat along the official road.
After walking about half a pillar of incense, Ma Wei vaguely saw that there was a brightly lit flag (Marshal Ma Banner of the West) fluttering in the wind in the distance, and the soldiers with clear banners behind them were advancing in batches with torches held high, and the first to walk in front was the commander of the Ming and Shaanxi provinces on horseback, and when he saw that the commander finally led the reinforcements, Ma Wei was so excited that he ran over quickly but was intercepted in front of the front team of soldiers.
A general in chain mail came over and asked, "What's going on?" The soldier next to him hurriedly said, "Qi Yuwei commands the servant, this person has blocked our way." Ma Wei immediately explained, "Report to the commander of the guard, the guards of Anton Zhong have fallen!" The generals have been captured! I also asked the adults to report to the commander and send troops to rescue them. ”
At this time, the commander of the Ming and Shaanxi Metropolitan Commanders behind him saw that the soldiers had stopped, so he also got up and walked over, squeezed past the soldiers, and asked, "What's going on?" Ma Wei quickly raised his head and confirmed by the light of the fire that the person in front of him was the commander of the Ming and Shaanxi Provinces, so he told him about the invasion of the Liukou in Andong Zhongwei, and thought that the commander of the capital would immediately send troops to rescue, but who knew that he did not send troops in time but camped on the spot, and first studied the battle plan to attack the army as the best policy, after all, the Guyuan Weiming army ran overnight and the morale was low, and he was afraid that the Liukou would set up an ambush outside the city? Therefore, they did not dare to send troops lightly.
On the other side, the Russian Yakutsk overseers marched to the Heilongjiang River Valley, and the lanterns were hung inside and outside the cabin when the ship traveled on the river, and the ship lit up the whole river like a big fish floating on the surface of the Nuoda River, and most of the people on the boat were asleep at midnight, only the Tsarist Yakutsk Overseer was still hovering in the bow of the ship, still holding a small jar of wine in his hand.
Seeing this, the Russian interpreter, who was passing by the bow of the ship and was about to go to bed, walked over and asked, "Rakshasa: Hasn't the Overseer slept so late?" What are you thinking? After a few sips of wine, the Yakutsk Overseer replied, "Rakshasa language: Ah! I can't sleep with too many worries! It's also good to blow the sea breeze by the river occasionally. ”
As he spoke, the Yakutsk overseer handed over the wine, but the Russian interpreter didn't dare to drink it and continued: "Rakshasa language: we have entered the Heilongjiang River valley of the Qing court's territory, and it is estimated that we will be able to reach the Jingqili River area tomorrow morning to find the materials that His Majesty the Tsar wants, and this half month's work has not been in vain." ”
However, the Yakutsk overseers of Tsarist Russia were worried about what to do with the Beishan Jurchen chieftains and their bound captives? The Russian interpreter immediately gave a reasonable reply and said, "Rakshasa language: Although we have captured them, we must not hurt them!" After all, this is on their territory, and they have priority in terms of troops, and if they are angered, they are afraid that they will chase and attack our army? It won't end well. ”
In the face of this analysis, the Yakutsk Overseers of Tsarist Russia thought that it could be executed, after all, the Rakshasas were bandit leaders who ate human flesh and robbed things, so the Yakutsk Overseers of Tsarist Russia issued strict orders to their soldiers not to take prisoners and behead violators...
After a night of wandering, the ships of the Rakshasa people docked on the bank of the Jingqili River, where a large green forest, there are many wild animals, and even the fish on the river are also in groups, almost with their hands can be fished up at will, although the Jurchen Jurchens of the East China Sea who live here surrendered to the Qing court, but they still live very freely in the area of the Jingqili River, and the Sauron Jurchens above the baron basically do not need to participate in the military service of the Manchu Eight Banners, and they can still live in their homeland and do not need to obey the dispatch of the Qing court. Therefore, it is different from the tribes of the Beishan Jurchen tribe who hunt fish in the wild.
After leaving some craftsmen to guard the captives, the Rakshasas began to land on the vast meadows of the land, and after looking at the dense forests around them, they gave a good impression to the Yakutsk Overseers of Tsarist Russia, and he exclaimed, "Rakshasa language: No wonder there are so many expeditions in our country that want to come to the Jingqili River?" It turns out that there are so many supplies here! It is really a golden area, and what a glory it would be to conquer this land and dedicate it to His Majesty the Tsar? ”
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, the more excited the Tsarist Yakutsk Overseer walked, and accidentally tripped and fell to the ground, he endured the pain and scolded, "Rakshasa language: damn what tripped me?" As soon as he said this, he turned around and found that there was something shining under his feet.
Looks like a gem? This made the Tsarist Yakutsk overseers hurriedly pick up the gems and look at them carefully, and also took the saber they carried with them to sharpen a layer of surface, and after the test, it was confirmed that it was a gem, so they stopped, and happily asked the soldiers to put away the palm-sized gems, and continued to walk forward across the woods and met a few Sauron Jurchens who went out hunting, so frightened that the Russian Cossack soldiers hurriedly raised their guns to aim at them, but were asked by the other party, "Jurchen: Who are you?" Why did you come here? When the Russian interpreter heard this, he motioned to the Tsarist Russian firecrackers on the left and right to put down the guns, and replied, "Jurchen language: don't get me wrong! I am an emissary from Tsarist Russia, and I have come to meet the chief of your tribe on the orders of His Majesty the Tsar. ”
