Chapter 337: Battle of Jinzhou (4)

Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan are worthy of being a pair of peasant brothers, and the two are also fellow villagers, both from the Yongping area.

The two of them are like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the two of them are equally famous, except for a tall man and a short man, these two people are very similar in all aspects, they are both brave and brave, and they are not good at fighting on horseback.

Now in Lin Yi's standard battalion, the two generals are both guerrilla commanders, although the guerrilla commanders are not big, in the Ming army's combat sequence, he is a middle-level officer, equivalent to the brigade level in later generations. But it is not easy for two farmers to get to this point in just a few years.

Moreover, Lin Yi was able to hand over the standard battalion with the strongest combat ability to the two of them to be specifically responsible, and the two were flattered, loyal to Lin Yi, and worshiped like gods.

Lin Yi used them as deputy generals many times, but at critical times, the two of them were also able to play the role of the main generals and take charge of themselves.

Just like this time, the two of them are particularly able to fight, they didn't sleep all night, ran more than 200 miles, and they were still as fierce as tigers, they took the lead, one brandished a big flat pole, the other wheeled a big shovel, and led thousands of men and horses in the standard camp, first expelled more than 10,000 Tartars outside the east gate into the city like cattle, so that the Qing Dynasty lost a prince again.

They beat the Tartars outside the west gate and did not dare to come out, and then they didn't think they had fun, so they took the men and horses back to the north gate to continue the battle.

When they came to the battlefield outside the north gate, a charge rushed the men and horses of the first warrior of Manchuria, and they were crushed.

Then the three heroes fought and worshipped, Gan Bao was small, if he didn't jump up and fight, the iron flat in his hand was dedicated to the next three sets of the enemy general, and the horse's legs and human legs were his key targets.

Now with a click, he knocked Ao Bai to the ground.

Jiang Xingyuan is just the opposite of him, this man who was born tall and mighty, and the big shovel in his hand specifically beckons people's heads. When he fought with Gan Bao, he learned from each other's strengths and complemented each other's weaknesses, and they were ingenious.

When Gan Bao's flat shoulder was pumped towards Aobai, Jiang Xingyuan's big shovel also turned up and swept towards Aobai's big bald head.

There is a problem with fighting in Aobai, he will take off his clothes when he is in a hurry, and when he is in a hurry, the more he cannot win, the more he takes off his clothes, which may be to show that he is not afraid of death.

In addition, his head is special, first of all, his head is big, it is estimated that it is three times bigger than Xu Jinjiang's head.

And then this head is oval, and it is also rich in nutrients, and the person is also young, and the big bald head is shaved like a light bulb, and if it is not for the symbol of a money rat tail on it, it can be used as a 500-watt light bulb in the light.

Now in order to show his ruthlessness, Ao Bai threw away his helmet, his upper body was bare, his head was shining, and the money rat tail was bitten in his mouth, and the ruthlessness could make people shudder.

Jiang Xingyuan had already aimed at this head, and his weapon was also quite special, it was a shovel, but this was not an ordinary shovel. Ordinary shovel iron head wooden poles, no more than five or six feet long, with blades on one side, are used to dig soil and dig pits to grow crops, which is a farm tool.

But now Jiang Xingyuan's spade has undergone a change in nature, and has become a sharp weapon for killing people on the battlefield, of course, ordinary shovels can't be, in order to adapt to this change, this is Lin Yi specially ordered someone to tailor it for him, the whole spade is made of iron and steel, the length of the spade rod is exactly one zhang, plus the spade head is one foot and five inches, the length of the whole weapon is one foot and five inches, and the weight is exactly 48 and a half catties, and it is hundreds of catties of weight.

The large, thick shovel head is like a small dustpan, with three blades on the left and right sides and in front of it, and it is extremely sharp, and this spade can be called the king of spades.

Jiang Xingyuan is tall and mighty, and the whirring wind of this big shovel dance, shooting, splitting, shoveling, and sweeping, is his basic trick, and the spade is inseparable from this chic head.

After Jiang Xingyuan slashed the air with a shovel, he turned around and swept towards Aobai's head with a spade.

At this time, it happened that Ao Bai was pulled down by Gan Bao, and this fall happened to escape this catastrophe, otherwise Jiang Xingyuan's spade would have swept his head away.

But he didn't dodge the rope, as soon as he fell, his head was lowered, that is, Jiang Xingyuan's shovel swept a little higher, and hit the top of his head with a click, and as a result, this shovel shaved off a piece of the scalp on the top of Aobai's head.

This piece of face is the size of a palm, and it just cuts off all his money rat tails.

Didn't give Ao Bai to death, thinking that his head was broken or moved? There was blood red in front of him, and in the haze, he also saw that all around him were Ming army soldiers, and the soldiers on his body had been killed.

Ao Bai who was lying on the ground was frightened, and touched his head with his hand, but it became a bloody face, and Ao Bai jumped up from the ground regardless of the coldness, flew several feet high, and kicked down a Ming soldier on the horse, he sat firmly on the horse and fled.

"Chasing-" Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan thought that he was dead, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful, so they chased after him.

At this time, Liu Zhaoji also relieved himself, Aobai is too powerful, he can't deal with it with his own force, if it weren't for Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan coming to help in time, he would have to go through a lot of trouble if he wanted to kill Aobai today.

Now as soon as he saw that Aobai had run away, he gathered his generals and chased the remnants of the Tartars with the soldiers of the standard battalion, and they chased the remnants of Aobai into the city in one go, pulled up the drawbridge, closed the city gate, and did not dare to come out, and there were dead and wounded everywhere outside the city, and blood spattered the city gate.

Ao Bai was defeated and scolded his mother in the city, one is that he has a head injury, although a military doctor has covered his head, but such a person is not a ghost or a ghost, how will he see people in the future, and the first warrior of Manchuria, the commander of the Qing Dynasty's protectors, is too worthy of these names, it is better to die in battle, he is in a hurry.

The second is the fiasco, the army of 10,000 Zhenghuang Banner was almost wiped out, and only those who fled quickly, including himself, ran back to the city, otherwise it is estimated that all of them would have died outside the city.

Is Hong Chengchou in the city asleep or blind? Before leaving the division, he said well, which way is not good, which way he supports, but where are the reinforcements?

Ao Bai scolded and scolded, regardless of the pain on his head to see Hong Chengchou, if it weren't for the fear that he was the red man of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and the new military department Shangshu What is the right capital of the procuratorate, the key is to have Shang Fang's sword, wear a yellow coat, and hold the power of life and death, otherwise he will pull this Hanchen in front of him and slap his mouth hard.

He came to Hong Chengchou in a huff......

This time he really blamed Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou was neither blind nor asleep, he could see clearly on the city, and the battle outside the four gates of the city was reported by the Malays, so he grasped the situation very timely and accurately.

Now Hong Chengchou is more anxious than Aobai, Aobai is at most a fiasco of soldiers and horses all the way, and Hong Chengchou is looking at the battlefield outside the city.

Outside the east gate, Prince Su of the Qing Dynasty died on the battlefield, and he estimated that he would have to explain this matter to the Queen Mother when he went back. Although the Empress Dowager Zhuang smiled brightly, her figure was also very beautiful, and her eyes were also very seductive, she also appreciated him. But a prince is gone, although Brother Hao is not his biological son, but he is the grandson of Nurhachi and the son of Huang Taiji.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, who is in the Qing Dynasty, will of course feel distressed, even if she is not close, she is still close, Hong Chengchou knows that this woman has a strong desire, not only will she conquer men in bed, but she will also conquer the world.

Prince Hauge of Su is undoubtedly his right-hand man, and it is too big for him to lose an arm.

Now the West Gate soldiers are defeated and will die, the East Gate is unsuccessful, and the situation outside the South Gate is not optimistic, Hanchen Ma Guozhu led 10,000 Qing troops to be hit by the Ming army general Hao Shaoqi.

Of course, he is very familiar with this Hao Shaoqi Hong Chengchou, this person is a thief, first mixed under Gao Yingxiang, after King Gao Chuang was killed, he wanted to follow Li Zicheng to get into the mix, he was the sworn enemy of the Ming Dynasty official army, and among the high-level people who wanted to exterminate the big thief leader and the thief, this person was on the same list as Liu Zongmin.

Now how did he defect to Lin Yi in a daze and become one of the main generals of the Ming Dynasty's official army, this is really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, just like him Hong Chengchou, who was originally a dependent minister of the Ming Dynasty, who would have thought that now he has become one of the pillars of the Qing Dynasty.

Hao Shaoqi's brave Hong Chengchou knows that he has fought with the Ming army for so many years and has fought in several provinces, and he is particularly capable of running and fighting.

Now he led a team of Ming troops to kill Ma Guozhu's Qing army all over the field, bleeding like a river, and the army could not be defeated.

Now the west city is closed, and both outside the south gate and the north gate have suffered a crushing defeat and need to be rescued, leaving only one east gate, although it does not show a defeat, but it seems that it is difficult to win without rescue.

However, the soldiers and horses in the city are limited, and when the troops were sent from the four roads, there were only 30,000 horses left in the city to defend the city, and now he has sent 5,000, and there are still 25,000 men and horses left.

In addition to the defeat of the four soldiers and horses all the way, the city did not dare to fight, and the remaining three soldiers and horses needed reinforcements, two of which were particularly urgent, which way to support? Fewer soldiers and horses are like a drop in the bucket, and it is useless to send more soldiers, and he suffers from not being able to scatter beans into soldiers, and the so-called smart women are difficult to cook without rice.

Hong Chengchou forced himself to calm down, it seems that he was wrong at the beginning, underestimating Lin Yi This is 100,000 soldiers and horses.

However, the Ming army came from afar and belonged to the tired division, and while their foothold was not stable, they sent heavy troops to meet the head-on attack, which is called waiting for work at ease, which is completely in line with the art of war, where did they go wrong? Hong Chengchou couldn't figure it out.

What he couldn't understand was that when did the combat effectiveness of the Ming army become so strong? He has been an official in the Ming Dynasty for many years, from the governor of Shaanxi to the governor of the three sides, and then to the governor of Jiliao, he has dealt with these armies, and he knows everything about the situation of the army in the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that he has never seen such a strong army, not to mention the tired army that marched 200 miles in one night, that is, the real elite of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chuanting's team, Lu Xiangsheng's men and horses, and Yuan Chonghuan's Guanning Iron Cavalry, I am afraid that there will be no combat power in front of them.

They are all like chicken blood, they are not afraid of death, the more they fight, the more brave they become, like Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, it's incredible!

What's more, Hong Chengchou also saw a scene, the 100,000 Ming troops outside the city did not go all out, they only entered the battle for a part, and many Ming troops turned a blind eye to this battle.

Some of them were busy setting up camp, some were busy digging ditches, digging fortifications, and some were outside the city, doing nothing, just looking at it and not participating in the battle, as if the battle in front of them had nothing to do with them.

It seems that troops should not be sent from all directions, if you want to achieve your original battle goal and completely break the encirclement of the 100,000 Ming troops outside the city, it is impossible for the whole city to pour out of the nest!

Hong Chengchou had to make a decision, this battle could not be fought again, and he had to preserve his strength to hold Jinzhou and try again in the future.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou thought of this and ordered all the men and horses outside the city to immediately collect troops and withdraw to the city.

In fact, this order, for the two Qing armies in the south and north of the city, was a late order, and without such an order, they would have been defeated, because they couldn't resist it at all, and they couldn't help themselves.

Only Azig outside the east gate, he fought with He Renlong, regardless of victory or defeat, and his soldiers and generals also fought evenly matched, after receiving this order, he breathed a sigh of relief and led the soldiers and horses to retreat to the city.

He Renlong led his soldiers and horses to chase and kill until the men and horses of Prince Azig ran back to the city and pulled the drawbridge and closed the gates.

The first battle was successful, and the Qing army was driven back to the city by several roads of soldiers and horses, and at this time, the camp of the Ming army outside Jinzhou was also set up.

Lin Yi was very happy, and moved to the camp to rest the soldiers and horses, as for the post-war matters such as cleaning the battlefield and the three trenches, it was not possible to complete it in one day, and it was not too late to continue after resting the soldiers and horses.
