Chapter 42: Amin Withdraws Troops

Amin was now flustered, he wanted to use the four cannons captured from the Liaodong front as a killer weapon, and at dawn he was caught off guard by the Ming army defending the city in Duoyan City. Who knows www.biquge.info the artillery in Duoyan City is not only more advanced than him, but also more than five times as many as him.

Zhai Sangwu, the younger brother who had been standing behind Amin, put the spear in his hand to the ground, and said angrily: "******, the artillery that has been transported so hard is now a waste, and the range of our cannon is only three hundred meters, and the artillery of the Ming army in Duoyan City is as much as five hundred meters. I just said that Huang Taiji didn't have a good heart, what to make new contributions, it's nonsense, this Yancheng is a bone with broken teeth at all, and he is obviously jealous of the second brother's merit in your conquest of Korea to force the Korean king Li Qi to sue for peace, and I am afraid that our meritorious master will let our soldiers with blue flags come to die. Second brother, if you listen to me, let's withdraw our troops, our brothers can't do this loss-making business. ”

Amin's mind was spinning rapidly, and he felt that what his younger brother Zhai Sangwu said had a certain truth, and he sought to stand on his own feet in North Korea at the beginning, and it was estimated that the root cause of the bane was planted at that time.

He looked at the Jin soldiers who fell one by one in the sea of fire at the front, and his heart was like a knife, these soldiers were all his family background, and they were the foundation of his Hou Jin Gui for the four great Baylors. Without these soldiers, he could guarantee that he would be the first to be stabbed by Nurhachi.

Zhai Sangwu looked at the second brother Amin and said angrily: "Second brother, you won't be afraid of Huang Taiji, right?" ”

Thinking that he had plotted to kill Huang Taiji several times and replace him without success, Amin sneered, "Afraid of him? Joke! ”

Just when Amin was hesitating about whether to withdraw the soldiers who were besieging the city, suddenly the mountains shook behind him, and a cavalry was killed out of thin air on Duoyan Mountain.

The group of cavalrymen who had been ambushed in the Duoyan Mountains were Zaisai and Setelye's cavalry, and the cavalry had white cloth strips tied around their arms, and then the slope of the hillside suddenly urged the horses under their crotches to rush into the grain and grass storage place of Houjin, and threw the torches in their hands at the piles of grain and grass.

The Houjin soldiers who were responsible for taking care of the grain and grass were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they did not have an advantage in numbers, and they were greeted by an overwhelming rain of arrows, followed by a saber that split their heads and covered their faces, and they were chopped into meat sauce after three strokes and five divisions, and they could still resist the left and right attacks of Zai Sai and Setel, and in an instant all the grain and grass were buried in a sea of fire.

Zhai Sangwu picked up his spear and shouted hoarsely at the elite soldiers with blue flags around him: "Quick, get on the horse to meet the enemy, get on the horse to meet the enemy!" ”

Fortune and misfortune are not a single line, and the Houjin soldiers who are unfavorable are simply unlucky today, and this wave after wave of bad luck is just like entangled with them.

Amin didn't expect that the grain and grass stored in the rear where he thought it was the safest was suddenly attacked by someone, looking at the burned grain and grass that reflected half of the sky in the famous cavalry who was slashing knives and guns, he was about to crack, gritted his teeth and roared at the soldiers beside him: "Blow the horn quickly!" Blow the trumpet! Blow the trumpet! Give it to me, and destroy all the cavalry that popped up from the cracks in the stones! ”

The horn of the retreat of Houjin sounded violently, just like the cry of a lovelorn woman in the heavy rain, full of helplessness and sadness.

Amin and his generals are all battle-hardened veterans, in fact, they all know that at this time, Houjin has already lost completely, and it is too late to withdraw troops from the front line to attack this group of Ming cavalry. At this time, seeing that the rainy season is coming soon, it is too late to go back to transport grain and grass, and forty or fifty thousand people who have not eaten or drunk will mutini without the Ming army in the city coming out to attack.

Guan Shanyue stood at the head of the city and blossomed, "The group of people who are really able to endure it, seeing that these soldiers have a clear goal, it seems that the division of labor has already been completed during the day." ”

Wei Zhongxian was also a rare person to watch the battle on the front line, and when he saw that the Ming army had taken advantage of it, he also smiled and said: "Well, it's really a divine soldier from heaven, I think these two commanders are a great general." The timing of their killing is too good, not sooner or later, when the soldiers of Houjin are basically pressed to the front line, they rush down from the mountain to kill, at this time, this group of wild boar skins will not follow themselves if they want to turn the spearhead, haha, wonderful plan, wonderful! ”

With mental calculation or unintentional, according to the predetermined plan, Setel and the cavalry under Zai Sai also rampaged in the Houjin camp in groups of five, like a big net to divide the soldiers at the back of the Houjin camp, so that they could not take care of each other, the soldiers could not find the officers, and the officers could not find the soldiers. This group of old birds cut when they saw people waving knives, and burned with torches in their hands when they saw the camp tent, and the heroic ones all became Zhao Zilong, who entered and exited Changbanpo seven times and seven times.

The more than 10,000 cavalry sent by Guan Shanyue were all old oilmen who had been on the battlefield, and they fought until Houjin was about to organize an effective counterattack before pulling out their horses and retreating.

The cavalry of Duoyan City took the cavalry of Houjin to go around Duoyan Mountain in a circle, as long as the cavalry of Houjin did not chase after the distance, they would take advantage of the terrain to unexpectedly turn the horse's head to make a counterattack. When Houjin's cavalry hurriedly organized an effective counterattack again, the cavalry of Duoyan City would take advantage of their familiarity with the terrain and take this group of Houjin's heels around the valley woods again.

So repeatedly, the straightforward leader of the Zhai Sangwu Seven Tricks smoked, but there was nothing to do about this group of Ming cavalry. What's even more infuriating is that on several occasions when he couldn't stop the car, he even fell into waist-deep blisters and almost drowned.

Sure enough, there was no food and grass, and the next day Amin withdrew his troops with grief and indignation. At this time, the city of Duoyan was empty, and there was nothing left except for the corpses all over the ground to show the fierce battle of last night.

With more victories and less flowers, firecrackers suddenly rang out in unison like the New Year, and gongs and drums celebrated this hard-won victory.

Just when the people in Duoyan City were celebrating with their crowns, they all commanded the embassy hall, and Setel, who had won the battle, also listened to Guan Shanyue's analysis but couldn't be happy.

Guan Shanyue frowned and looked at the map on the wall, pointed at the location of Duoyan City with the stick in her hand, and said with a heavy face: "Our victory this time is mainly due to the surprise of Jin Amin, not because of how strong we are, but because they are too light on the enemy. This victory cannot exclude the heroic fighting of the soldiers, but in the final analysis, luck accounted for a considerable part of it. If they have 50,000 horses and horses to besiege us without attacking, it will not be difficult for them to supply Duoyan City next to Houjin's sphere of influence, and then we will be trapped and killed in the city sooner or later. ”

When Zai Sai heard this, he no longer had the joy of the big victory just now in his heart, and said with a depressed face: "Brother Guan, do you mean that if Houjin comes prepared, our Duoyan City will definitely be defeated?" ”

Although Guan Shanyue was unwilling to accept this naked reality, as the supreme official of the Daning Capital Division, he couldn't bury his head in the soil and be a self-deceiving ostrich, she had to nod reluctantly, "Although I don't want to accept it, the reality is like this." Judging from the information obtained from Hou Jin, although Huang Taiji ascended to the throne of Khan, his foundation was unstable, and his Mang Gurtai and Amin were not convinced that he was the Great Khan, and his orders had always been in disobedience. I judge that in order to establish prestige and pick up cheap, it is very likely that the next time he will lead the troops to attack Duoyan City, it will be Huang Taiji himself, and there will be more troops than this time. ”

Setel was also anxious when he heard Guan Shanyue's words, his own sister was captured by Houjin and became the Fujin of Manggultai, he simply hated Houjin, "Brother Guan, do you want to surrender the city when you hear this?" In that case, please forgive Setl for not being able to obey his fate. Not to mention that Huang Taiji came, even if Nurhachi crawled out of the soil, I would also take the brothers who were willing to fight with me to fight with those wild boar skins to the last soldier. ”

Wei Zhongxian pursed his lips and looked displeased, and tapped the table with his hand, "Setel, you are good everywhere, and the warriors love you, but your temper is too impatient, can't you change your fiery temper?" This Yancheng not only has your hard work, but every brick and tile here is also soaked in Brother Guan's hard work, and his feelings for this city are definitely deeper than yours. Let's listen to his opinions first, and then it's not too late for you to make a decision. ”

Guan Shanyue smiled gratefully at the old Wei Zhongxian, and really wanted to say: "Wei Zhongxian, who knows me!" However, his old face turned red and after thinking about it, he still held back this meaty sentence, pointed to the location of Kulun City, cleared his throat and said categorically: "Next time, whether Houjin is coming from Huang Taiji or not, when the time comes, they will supply smoothly, but we will sit and eat the mountain, and this Yancheng will definitely not be able to hold it." In my opinion, it's better for us to abandon the city and retreat to Kulen City! ”

Setel and Zai Sai also looked at the direction of Kulun City with a stunned expression, Wei Zhongxian was not surprised at all that he had been mentally prepared.

Zai Sai walked to the front of the map, thought about it, pondered for a moment, nodded and said with a solemn face: "Retreat to Kulen City, Houjin will become a long-distance attack, so that their supply line will be extremely long." When the time comes, we will wait for the opportunity to move, so that even if we hold on to the city of Kulen, they will not be besieged for long, and the balance of victory will be tilted in our favor. It's just that, Brother Guan, have you thought about it, although our Duoyan City said that the family background is not thick, but we have also worked hard to buy a family business, if you take those Hongyi cannons, farm tools, molds, steel-making furnaces and other bulky guys, it must be very slow to transfer, don't we say don't want it? Just throw it to Duoyan City and ignore it, isn't this cheap Houjin's group of wild boar skins? ”

Setel also listened to Guan Shanyue's words and had just been shaken in his heart for the retreat, and at this time, after listening to Zai Sai's words, he began to tend to fight to the end with Houjin, and as soon as he fought with the two villains in his heart, he had a fierce confrontation, and scratched his scalp with his hand in confusion and cast a puzzled look at Guan Shanyue.
