Volume 8 Chapter 44 Encirclement and Annihilation of Jiannu
Fuzhou Wei, Yangshebao Fishing Port, Chen Jisheng, the deputy general of the Dongjiang Army, stood straight on the pier, although his face looked very calm, but the tiger's eyes showed excitement.
Behind him, Cao Bianjiao, Mao Chengzuo, Hou Gongji and other young generals also stood straight, but the excited look jumped on their faces, the cabinet subordinate, the governor of the five provinces, the prince and the prince Zhang Bin Zhang was about to lead the army to arrive, this time, their goal was to encircle and annihilate more than 100,000 Jiannu outside Jinzhou City!
It has been more than 20 years since the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu started the war, and I am afraid that they have not killed more than 100,000 Jiannu in total, and this time, they are going to encircle and annihilate more than 100,000 Jiannu, how can they not be excited to participate in such an earth-shattering victory.
Everyone waited on the dock for about half an hour, the sunset was about to sink in the west, and a series of dense black spots finally appeared on the sea, no need to ask, this must be the wheel of the Fujian Navy, because looking at the entire sea area around Daming, only the Fujian Sailor can have so many warships.
The fleet quickly entered the fishing port from far and near, and soon, the light ironclad ship at the head approached the dock, and several sturdy soldiers jumped down from the ironclad ship quickly, skillfully tied the cable to the wooden stake of the pier, and cooperated with the people on the boat to set up the escalator, and then a string of generals in armor walked down the ship.
The first one, dressed in bright silver heart armor, wearing a three-pronged purple and gold crown, and a fiery red cloak fluttered in the sea breeze, and his posture was heroic.
This is naturally Zhang Bin, as soon as he stopped on the dock, Chen Jisheng and other generals greeted him, and said in unison: "See Lord Cabinet." ”
He nodded, and then smiled: "Everyone, General Chen, the nearby Jiannu scouts have been cleaned up, right?" ”
Chen Jisheng hurriedly bowed his hand again and said: "Lord Hui, the last general has carefully combed through the radius of more than ten miles, and all the Jiannu scouts have been cleaned up. ”
Zhang Bin nodded, and then asked Mao Chengzuo again: "Chengzuo, how is the situation in Jinzhou City, and what is the specific situation of the Jiannu army attacking Jinzhou City, have you found out clearly?" ”
Mao Chengzuo followed closely and said: "Lord Hui, Jinzhou City is safe and sound, and the people who came to attack Jinzhou City this time are the 60,000 Manchu Eight Banner Foot Soldiers and 50,000 Han Eight Banner Soldiers led by Hao Ge and Beile Yuetuo, the eldest son of the Nu Chief Taiji. ”
It turned out to be that kind of garbage, it seems that Jiannu is trying to play a trick to attack the west, Zhang Bin thought about it, and then asked Hou Gongji: "General Hou, how is the situation in Liaoyang and Shenyang?" ”
Hou Gongji hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Lord Hui, Liaoyang and Shenyang seem to be normal on the surface, and the 60,000 Jiannu heavy armor foot soldiers have not made any changes, but the 60,000 Jiannu elite cavalry has disappeared, and it is estimated that they either went to the Mengyuan grassland or waited for an opportunity somewhere in the Hetao." ”
When Zhang Bin heard this, he roughly understood Huang Taiji's intention after thinking about it for a while, and he really wanted to steal chickens, very good, this time let you eat a lot of rice!
He also learned about the situation in the vicinity with Chen Jisheng, and then ordered his 40,000 troops to be stationed in a valley near the port.
Early the next morning, at midnight, the Jiannu army outside Jinzhou City set up a neat formation outside the camp on time, just like the previous morning court, preparing to continue to "storm" Jinzhou City.
On this day, Haoge and Yue Tuo's faces didn't seem to be very good, especially Yue Tuo, his brows were about to wrinkle together, he looked at the Han Eight Banner foot soldiers who were preparing siege equipment, and couldn't help but remind: "Big brother, the scouts we sent to Fuzhou in the past two days have not turned around, this Ming army is afraid that there will be some moves, or we won't attack the city today, first send more scouts to investigate in the direction of Fuzhou and then make plans?" ”
Haoge said proudly: "What are you afraid of, the Ming army has a total of 60,000 horses on the east bank of the Liao River, and there are 10,000 in this Jinzhou city, do they dare to give up Haizhou's full strength to attack us?" At best, we can get together 30,000 or 40,000 horses in the direction of Fuzhou, and we can have more than 100,000 horses, which can definitely be carried by us. ”
Yue Tuo was still not at ease, he couldn't help but remind again: "Don't forget, they came with 20,000 reinforcements two days ago, and there are more than 30,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry, which adds up to 100,000." ”
Haoge didn't care and said: "Father Khan has confessed, he wants to keep storming Jinzhou City and attract the Ming army to come to help, and now the Ming army has only 20,000 ordinary foot soldiers, which is far from enough, so this attack cannot be stopped." If they really gather so many men and horses to pounce, we will withdraw, and after these Nikans are broken, it will be fine. ”
When Yue Tuo heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head, he always felt that something was wrong, but Haoge didn't care at all, although he was the main general, but the identity of the eldest brother was there, and he couldn't be too disobedient, he could only send more scouts to disperse to the northwest, so as not to be attacked by the main force of the Ming army.
The siege battle is still dull on this day, although there are more than 20,000 reinforcements in Jinzhou City, the combat power does not seem to have increased much, they are still the old routine of artillery and grenades, five artillery pieces can cause certain casualties to the Han Eight Banner foot soldiers who are besieging the city, but the casualties are also limited, five artillery pieces can kill 200 people in five rounds, it is good, when attacking the city, most of them are injured, and the dead are not many, less than 500 people are killed in a day, and they can still carry it.
Cao Wenzhao's 20,000 Fuguang army naturally could not be so bad, he was just hiding clumsy, he didn't let people bring the flintlock pistol and tiger squat cannon to the east city wall at all, every day he just sent thousands of sword and shield men and pikemen to meet the situation, and even wolf and palladium He ordered people to hide, because he was afraid that the Jiannu outside the city would think that they were the Qi family's army.
The shouting and killing on the battlefield gradually died out, and on the tower of the East Gate, Mao Wenlong still held a telescope and stared coldly at the enemy who was receding like a tide, but he did not say a word this time, but asked Cao Wenzhao on the side curiously: "Wen Zhao, didn't Shuangquan lead the army to Fuzhou yesterday, why hasn't there been any movement at this time?" ”
Cao Wenzhao pretended to be serious and said: "This is a secret, and there is nothing to comment." ”
When Mao Wenlong heard this, he put down the binoculars, punched Cao Wenzhao's shoulder, and said angrily: "What kind of secrets are you playing with me, be careful that I beat you." ”
Cao Wenzhao couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahahaha, beat me, you can't beat me, I'll beat you almost the same." ”
Mao Wenlong rolled his eyes and said: "Okay, okay, I can't beat you, what's going on, say it quickly, don't hang your appetite." ”
Cao Wenzhao said proudly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just because there are not enough trains, so Shuangquan divided the 80,000 army into two groups, and the remaining 40,000 troops will not arrive in Fuzhou until tomorrow afternoon." ”
Mao Wenlong nodded suddenly, and then asked, "Then what to do next?" ”
Cao Wenzhao still said proudly: "Shuangquan let me tell you, you just take your men to defend Jinzhou City, the afternoon after tomorrow, he will lead the army to rush over from the west side of Dahei Mountain, and then I will lead the army to attack from the south gate, you just watch here." ”
When Mao Wenlong heard this, he looked at his subordinates on the city wall depressedly, shook his head and sighed, and he didn't even have the interest to ask.
There is no way, there are less than 10,000 horses under his command at this time, and eighty or ninety percent of them are wounded, and the defense of the city is almost the same.
