Chapter 268 This is called a military exercise
Liaoyang Taihe Gate.
"This, this, how is this good, isn't Jiannu withdrawn?"
Governor Yuan looked out helplessly.
In the faint light of dawn, countless Jiannu were arrayed, accompanied by the faint sound of people shouting horses and loud horns, and the bald heads decorated with rat tails were so eye-catching, or it could also be said to be dazzling. Looking at this scene, everyone on the city wall was as helpless as Governor Yuan, these Jiannu came too suddenly, as if they came here out of thin air. You must know that even the nearest Qinghe Fort is actually two hundred miles away, and there are still 10,000 Ming troops in the Weining battalion, and none of the piers and forts along the line have been reported in advance.
Could it be that all the defenders were wiped out at once?
It's impossible!
Obviously, their imaginations still can't imagine how these Jiannu appeared out of thin air.
"Which general went out of the city to fight Jiannu?"
Liaodong Inspector next to Yuan Yingtai asked Zhang Quan.
However, he was answered by an awkward silence.
It's also an exaggeration to go to war.
Even if these Jiannu don't seem to be too many, their strength is still far superior to that of the Liaoyang defenders.
In fact, at this time, Liaoyang did not have many troops at all, originally in history, the battle of Liaoyang was in the surrounding cities and fortresses all fell, and the defeated armies were all concentrated in Liaoyang, but now all the armies are guarding these fortresses on the periphery.
Shenyang is the chief soldier He Shixian, and the deputy chief soldier You Shigong.
Fengji Fort is Hou Shilu.
Weining Camp is Yang Zongye.
Jiang Bi's troops were hurriedly transferred to Liaoxi because of Lin Dan Khan's attack.
Li Bingcheng's department is in Lianshan Pass.
The other two general soldiers, Liu Kongyin and Qi Bingzhong, retreated to Shenyang to rest after the previous defeat, but Qi Bingzhong had just withdrawn to Hupiyi, and he was the closest.
And Liaoyang is the big rear.
When Xiong Tingbi was here, Cao Wenzhao's cavalry, as well as the 20,000 Ming army led by Liang Zhongshan, the general of Liaoyang, and the deputy general Zhu Wanliang, and then Chen Ce's Sichuan and Zhejiang army, his arrangement was quite scientific, because the rest of the Ming army was a group of a small number of elite Dingjia cannon fodder, and these people did not have the ability to fight in the field at all. The only thing that the Ming army could fight with the Jiannu army in the field was Cao Wenzhao's department and Chen Ce's department, they could mobilize reinforcements and not have to worry about being beaten violently in the field battle of Jiannu's siege and reinforcements.
There are still those who can make do with the field battle, and there are 3,000 family members of He Shixian.
Therefore, He Shixian guarded the vital Shenyang City.
Other fortresses with relatively low importance of town defense, although their elite family members may have thousands or even hundreds of people, but with these elite teams as overseers, it is still possible to force those cannon fodder to defend the city, speaking of which, Xiong Tingbi has achieved very little in the past two years.
He couldn't change the Ming army.
There is also a relatively capable player in Qi Bingzhong's department, because he has a staff general, Luo Zheng.
So now Liaoyang is Liang Zhongshan and Zhu Wanliang.
These two were originally killed in Liaoyang, and one of them was still watching the battle of the Hunhe River, and he was still very sober in the face of a strong enemy at the moment......
"Zhang Xun pressed, Jiannu looks like no less than 10,000 horsemen, although there are 20,000 defenders in the city, but most of them are infantry, once the battle out of the city fails, it hurts morale, Liaoyang city wall is strong, the materials are sufficient, and there are 20 Hongyi cannons, Jiannu is simply not broken. What's more, there are hundreds of thousands of troops around, and the nearest Qi Bingzhong is only half a day's journey, as long as he holds on for a day or two when the army gathers, he can completely annihilate Jiannu under the city. ”
Zhu Wanliang said with a smile.
Liang Zhongshan said that he fully agrees with this.
The two of them are embarrassed to say that their 20,000 army is actually less than 15,000, even if Xiong Tingbi catches it strictly, this empty salary still has to be eaten, why do you not eat empty salary? As for the people who can really go out to fight with Jiannu, there are actually less than a thousand.
This kind of thing of raising a family depends on their own ability, and it doesn't mean that everyone can raise 3,000 like He Shixian.
"This is just the Jiannu forward, if you can't destroy its forward, the follow-up will continue to arrive, Chen Ce and Cao Wenzhao's troops will fall into Liaoxi, how can those newly defeated armies around Liaoyang annihilate Jiannu?"
Zhang Quan said dissatisfied.
He's a patrol.
He, a seven-rank official, is actually second only to Yuan Yingtai in power.
"Zhang Xunpress!"
Suddenly, a man shouted from under the walls.
"Horse Trainer!"
Zhang Quan looked back at a green-robed civil official below and said politely.
The latter was surrounded by hundreds of young men, all of whom looked very strong with weapons.
"Zhang Xunpress, I heard that Jiannu was attacking, and the Xiaguan clan recruited 300 young and strong people, wanting to help the generals defend the city."
The latter said.
"The Ma family is really a loyal and righteous family!"
Yuan Yingtai said with a smile.
In that case, it is definitely welcome.
So Ma Yinglong and his brother, the civil official, took more than 300 people to climb the city wall, and then took the initiative to join the soldiers defending the city. At this time, the morning sun rises among the mountains, reflecting the thousands of troops and horses outside, the bald scalps reflect the sun, and the fierce barbarian warriors show off their might.
Ma Yinglong gasped.
"This is the elite of Jiannu!"
He said.
"What about the elite!"
Immediately after, Shi Han's disdainful voice sounded below.
"Governor Yuan, my dog has violated the law of the country and failed the grace of the saint, and the old man is willing to lead the children of the Shi family to help Governor Yuan defend the city to atone for his sins."
Shi Han said.
"Shi Gong rest assured, when he is killed and retired, Yuan will play for the Shi family!"
Yuan Yingtai said with a smile.
In his opinion, this is very normal, Shi Tingzhu was arrested by Yang Xin, and it was a rebellion with conclusive evidence, so the Shi family is guilty of raiding the family, but if the Shi family can make meritorious contributions to defending the city, maybe they can exchange for leniency, and even this attack by Jiannu is simply a godsend for the Shi family.
In this way, Shi Han's 300 men also climbed the city wall.
He and Ma Yinglong looked at each other strangely.
"Shi Gong is really brave and loyal!"
Ma Yinglong said.
"Each other, each other!"
Shi Han said with a smile.
Yuan Yingtai and Zhang Quan didn't suspect them at all.
All their attention was outside the city, and at this time the city wall was already in full swing, not only the Ming army, but also other gentry like Shi Han and Ma Yinglong who took their slaves to the city to help in the battle, and the gentry in Liaoyang were basically Jiangmen families, and they all had their own military positions. At this moment, everyone is staring at the Jiannu who is showing off their power outside, one Hongyi cannon, the muzzle of the Franc machine and the other is aimed at the front, there are twenty Hongyi cannons, but only five of them are bought, and the rest are made by the Ministry of Industry with those craftsmen who have returned from Luzon.
The quality is not good.
The city was in chaos, with cries and shouts, and even those trying to flee appeared, and it was as if the end had come before the enemy had even officially attacked the city.
However......
The enemy stopped and set up camp.
"Fortunately, it seems that the city will not be attacked today!"
Zhu Wanliang wiped the sweat on his head and said.
"I don't see a rabbit and I don't scatter an eagle!"
In a private house outside the city, Yang Xin said somewhat depressedly.
Obviously, these guys in the city are not stupid, and if he doesn't actually attack the city, these people will definitely not do it.
But a real siege will definitely not work.
"Yang Yanshi, General Luo of Hupiyi came over with a team of reinforcements, he wants to see you!"
Qin Minping walked in and said.
"Let him in!"
Yang Xin said.
It's a surprise that someone came to the rescue so quickly.
In this case, it is a man who dares to come to the rescue.
However, at this time, he has completely blocked the roads in all directions of Liaoyang, and all reinforcements will be intercepted on the periphery, and this big drama must continue, but outsiders cannot be allowed to enter the city, and the cavalry of the Yehe Department is also patrolling the gates, and the people in the city will not be released either.
These intercepted reinforcements are definitely coming for him.
"Yang Yanshi, the last general would like to ask, what are you doing?"
A burly general was brought in, and before he could salute, he asked angrily.
"What is your official position?"
Yang Xin shouted gloomily.
The latter then sobered up and hurriedly saluted.
"The last general Liangzhou to aid Liaoqi under the general general Luo has always seen Yang Yanshi, Yang Yanshi, the last general heard that Jiannu entered the Kou to invade Liaoyang, so he led his troops to come to the rescue, but General Qin was ordered to stop it, and the last general implored Yang Baishi to clarify his doubts."
He said.
"General Luo, I don't need to explain to you what I do, but since you asked, then I will give you a face to explain, it's very simple, this is called a military exercise, in order to test the defense of Liaoyang City, to test the resilience of the defenders of Liaoyang in the face of a sudden attack by Jiannu. Therefore, Yang deliberately led Ye He's cavalry to pretend to be Jiannu and went to Liaoyang City to conduct military exercises, which was a test, which was not only to test Liaoyang's city defense, but also to test the reaction speed of the surrounding armies.
Now do you understand?
In order to be able to truly test the results, it was necessary to keep it secret throughout the exercise, so not only would the armies around Liaoyang not be notified, but no one was allowed to enter Liaoyang, and all those who came out of Liaoyang had to be taken.
Your ministry was the first to come to the rescue.
Moreover, it has only been two hours since I arrived here, which means that your unit is not only very heroic, but also very good at patrolling and guarding, and I will recommend General Luo to Your Majesty.
Now you can go down and rest!
But you and the subordinate are not allowed to leave, and they must continue to be kept secret, if you feel that you can do something for your own affairs, follow General Qin to continue to block the surroundings, and then there will be those who come to the rescue to intercept the same, and prohibit them from leaving until I declare this exercise over."
Yang Xin said.
Luo always looked at him dumbfounded.
Obviously, Yang is acting too imaginatively.
War game? You can come up with such a shameless reason, you obviously didn't feel good after Guangning forced a bunch of them, and you came to dig a pit for these guys in Liaoyang! Of course, this is not about Luo's consistent business, he is from Ganzhou Wei, and he is not from this Liaodong general.
Luo has always consciously followed Qin Minping and left, and went to carry out the surrounding blockade tasks together.
"Anyway, how can we get them to do it? It's not cool at all to rebel and be such a mother-in-law. ”
Yang Xin looked at Liaoyang Chengjiao in the distance and said dissatisfiedly. ntent
