Chapter 70: Dying Struggle
"Jiannu's siege methods are a joke, and I really don't understand why they are afraid of them.
There was no artillery.
There are no large trebuchets.
Not even a Lu bus or anything like that.
The only thing they know is that they will be attached to the city, and at most they will dig tunnels and use gunpowder to blow up, but their gunpowder can't even blow up the earthen walls of Yehe City, and it is just a sound for a fortified city like Liaoyang or Shenyang covered with bricks. They don't have any more powerful ranged weapons, at most they have captured our Furlong machines, but I've never seen them use them, whether they will or lack gunpowder. What they really used was nothing more than bows and arrows, I really don't understand why people with cannons were afraid of bows and arrows, I admit that they are very good at fighting in the field, fierce and tenacious, almost fighting to the death, 200 people almost trapped me.
But it would be a complete shame for us to be able to defend the city and still be captured by them. ”
Yang Xin said.
He slept until the next morning, woke up and was fully recovered.
As for the fact that he killed Eyidu......
He didn't have much of an impression of the name, he didn't really have much of an impression of the early subordinates of the Boar Skin, and he didn't know what one of the five ministers of the Wild Boar Skin represented.
"Then you can't send troops."
Xiong Tingbi said.
"At present, our army has no soldiers to fight, and the only ones left before are Li Ruzhen and He Shixian, Li Ruzhen is dedicated to Shenyang, although there are 10,000 people in the department, but the actual number of people who can fight is only 2,000, and the real people who can fight in He Shixian's department are only more than 2,000. Chai Guozhu had just arrived in Liaoyang, and the troops he led to aid Liao added up to twenty or thirty thousand, but most of them didn't even have armor and weapons, let alone war horses. In addition to the original self-defending army of the forts in Liaodong, the current combatable soldiers in Liaodong who can really come up with their hands add up to these.
Yang Hao evacuated the soldiers who could fight in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and all of them were buried in Salhu in the first battle, and nearly half of the remnants of the elite died in Kaitie.
There are really no troops available at the moment.
I want to thank you, if you hadn't persuaded me to stay in the Beijing camp, I'm afraid that Xiong's Chinese army would have no available soldiers at this time, and if you really want to save Ye Hebu, you can only spare the troops stationed in various places.
Those forts can still make up tens of thousands of people.
But.
Do you think that fried flowers will not turn against each other? ”
Xiong Tingbi said.
"Doesn't silver work?"
Yang Xin said in amazement.
"Of course the silver works, but at this moment, there is more silver in the boar skin than in the bear! Do you know how much grain he took from Kaiyuan? The ox cart has not been transported for a few days, and he has much more money and grain in his hands than Xiong! What's more, he captured Zai Sai again, and then he only needed to take Zai Sai as a hostage, and then take out the silver to buy it, Enwei and Shi forced Fried Flower to agree to an alliance with him, at that time, do you think Fried Flower will turn to raid Quang Ninh with his army? ”
Xiong Tingbi said.
Yang Xin has to admit that this possibility is not impossible.
In the final analysis, fried flowers and the Ming army fought for decades before, even his second brother was shot to death by Li Chengliang, to be precise, Li Chengliang's family Ding Li Pinghu, during the battle of Fushun, he even echoed with the wild boar skin to attack Liaoxi, but the battle of Salhu changed the pattern of Liaodong He turned to wary of wild boar skin. But if at this time, Xiong Tingbi took out the troops that could fight in Liaodong, went north to fight a decisive battle with the wild boar skin, and suddenly turned against him, and took the assembled Mongolian coalition army to raid Guangning and sack it, then the harvest was not comparable to the 10,000 taels per year promised by Xiong Tingbi. For Xiong Tingbi, the wisest choice is actually to stand still, to respond to changes without change, that is, to rectify the army and establish a solid defense line.
"But if Jintaiji dies, then the tens of thousands of elites of the Yehe Department will join Jiannu!"
Yang Xin said.
"So what can I do? I'm taking on such a mess, don't I understand this? But I have no troops at all, all I can do is to do my best to protect Shenyang and Liaoyang, and I can't do anything else if I want to! ”
Xiong Tingbi said very frankly.
"Then why did you ask me to deliver the letter?"
Yang Xin said.
"It's just to let Jintaiji hold on for a few more days!"
Xiong Tingbi said.
This is also a bad person, he never thought of saving Jin Taiji, just gave Jin Taiji a little hope, and then let this guy hold on for a few more days, after all, the battle between Jin Taiji and the wild boar skin, no matter who dies, it is not a bad thing for him. And the wild boar skin dragged on in Yehe City for one more day, and Xiong Tingbi had one more day here to rectify the military organization and defense, there was no difference between him and Yang Xin in the original intention, but Yang Xin was not as black as him, and Yang Xin was still thinking about how to save Jin Taiji in the end.
But Xiong Tingbi didn't think about this at all.
"I'm still too young!"
After Xiong Tingbi left, Yang Xin sighed and said.
Xiong Tingbi is really powerless, in fact, what he is most afraid of now is that the wild boar skin gives up the attack on Ye Hebu and goes south to Shenyang, Shenyang has been rumored, he sent civil officials to Shenyang to inspect but no one dared to go.
Yang Ho was buried too much in Salhu.
The entire Liaodong, whether the local army or the guest army, was thrown there by him, and now it is difficult to fill this hole, and the military department did mobilize 70,000 troops from all over the country to aid Liao, but the number of the military department is on paper, in fact, there are only 30,000 officers and troops in Liaoyang City today. In addition to more than 10,000 Sichuan troops and Xuanfu, Shanhaiguan and other reinforcements, the rest are a group of remnants, even most of the officers died on the battlefield, and most of the reinforcements are actually newly recruited.
But the newly recruited soldiers have no armor and weapons, just a group of strong men.
In short, at this moment, except for those garrisons that can't be moved in various places, Xiong Tingbi can use the only 50,000 troops in Liaoshen.
And most of them are ineffective.
The real fight will not exceed 20,000, but the 13,000 Sichuan army has just arrived exhausted after traveling thousands of miles, and the materials are scarce, even the firearms are not much, Yang Hao discarded too many materials in Salhu, for his battle of ploughing the court, the two cities of Liaoshen almost emptied all the ordnance and ammunition, and finally they were all thrown to Jiannu by him. ”
Chen Yujie said.
In other words, Xiong Tingbi used this mess to quickly stabilize the situation.
It's not easy for him.
Of course, this is thanks to Kim Tae-gil, it was his death that bought Xiong Tingbi time.
If the wild boar skin did not go north to attack Yehebu, but relied on the harvest of Kaiyuan Tieling, and went all out to the south, maybe he would have taken Shenyang in one go.
At this time, Shenyang was guarded by Li Ruzhen, since he could abandon the Tieling ancestral tomb, of course he didn't mind abandoning Shenyang, after all, he was also a frightened bird at this time, no wonder Yan Mingtai and these people didn't go to Shenyang alive or dead. It is said that Liaoyang to Shenyang is nothing more than a hundred miles, and riding a horse is a day's journey, but they just disobey the order and don't go, and they also know that if they don't get it right, they won't be able to come back.
Shenyang is indeed only a hundred miles away from Liaoyang, but it is less than a hundred miles away from Tieling!
The army of Jiannu can also start from day to night!
They are all sober.
But in this way, what Yang Xin did before was completely in vain, and nothing changed.
Yehebe will still be destroyed.
The five parts of the fried flower will still be subdued by Boar Skin's Enwei and Shi, although they will not really be used for it, but at least they will still cooperate with Boar Skin's actions in the future. Originally, in history, they were controlled by wild boar skins in this way, and even spent tens of thousands of livestock to redeem the slaughter, and they moved between the Ming and Qing dynasties and even the three families of Lin Dan Khan, and they were never able to make their positions clear, until they were eaten away by wild boar skins step by step to extinction.
And in this way, Yang Xin also put Zhou Yuji in.
"No, you can't just accept your fate!"
Yang Xin said very firmly.
"What else can you do? Xiong Tingbi wants you to send a letter to coax Jin Taiji, your task is complete, and he also brought Yidu's head, as long as you report to the capital, your crimes will definitely be pardoned, and even a reward is indispensable, why bother with this matter again? ”
Chen Yujie said suspiciously.
"Since I promised Jin Taiji, I must have a clear conscience!"
Yang Xin said.
He was mainly reluctant to meet Zhou Yuji.
Such a talent cannot be discarded, if the wild boar skin breaks through Yehe City, then Zhou Yuji will definitely die, at least he has to do something about it.
"Didn't Xiong Tingbi send someone to Shenyang? I think you're a good fit. ”
He said to Chen Yujie.
"I'm a seven-rank Taichang Temple doctor, not even from the right path, his identity is not enough at all, what he needs is a person to preside over the overall situation, at least four or five grades, and familiar with Liaodong, to be precise, he just wants to be a guard. I'm a doctor of Taichang Temple, who follows him to serve in military affairs, how can I be qualified for this qualification, do you want me to be a seven-grade civil official to command Li Ruzhen?
Do you want to Li Ruzhen to death? ”
Chen Yujie said.
Originally, Yan Mingtai was responsible for this important task, Xiong Tingbi wanted him to do the current position of Wang Huazhen in Guangning, Yan Mingtai was according to the judge, and Wang Huazhen's political secretary was at the same level, his qualifications were sufficient, but Chen Yujie was too exaggerated.
"Then you should go and see it first, and you should give those civil officials a way out, and they will support it."
Yang Xin said.
"They will indeed support it, they wish there was a substitute for the dead, you just want to follow, but what if you go? Can you persuade Li Ruzhen to go north? If he had the courage, he would not have escaped back from Tieling, He Shixian was more courageous than him, but He Shixian's men could really fight no more than 2,400 people, even if the wild boar skin went north, there were still 10,000 people left behind in Tieling. 10,000 Jiannu, with the current strength of Li Ruzhen and He Shixian, they will lose when they go out in the field, let alone counterattack Tieling. ”
Chen Yujie said speechlessly.
"You don't care, I have my own plan, but you still have to ask Xiong Tingbi to give you at least five hundred Jingying to accompany you!"
Yang Xin said.
"That's fine, but don't fool me!"
Chen Yujie said vigilantly.
"No, how can I trap you, our brother, and call Lao Cao again, but I have to ask you a question before that."
Yang Xin said with a smile.
"Say!"
Chen Yujie said.
"Do you imitate someone else's handwriting?"
Yang Xin asked.
"Don't mess around, forging official documents is a capital offense!"
Chen Yujie said in horror.
"Nonsense, I'm a good citizen who abides by the law, I won't do anything that violates the law, of course I won't do anything to forge official documents, and I won't do it even if I forge Xiong Tingbi's private messages, but if we just joke with each other among friends, then it's not a big deal!."
Yang Xin said with a smile.
As he spoke, he took out the letter that Xu Xianchun asked him to hand over to Li Ruzhen
