The Yingkou garrison Deshan was also startled when he saw Turushh coming over with the team so quickly on the north gate tower. After all, he knew that Melerzhangjinghongnika was not very good these days, and even the official affairs that often came and went with Yingkou were handled by Bian's pen and post agents.

Therefore, he originally thought that after he deliberately delayed the time for reporting, there was no one in the camp to preside, and he could not get accurate information from the city, he would definitely be unable to send troops for a long time.

He didn't expect that although Honnika usually looked old and faint, he would react most correctly as soon as he received the warning signal.

Of course, what he doesn't know is that this kind of general who grew up in war, even if his talent is mediocre, but he can survive a hundred battles, he must also have some strengths. Honnika's strength lies in his observance of the rules, as long as the rules of marching and camping jointly formulated by the Mandate of Heaven Khan and the banner lord Baylor, he will never disobey them.

Therefore, even if he was unable to see things normally because he was unwell, as soon as he heard the alarm of war, he still quickly gathered his troops and horses according to the normal steps, and even did not forget to send Turushh into the city to contact the garrison Deshan to collect the news of the Ming army.

However, it was precisely because Turush's arrival was so fast that although the Ming army took over the city wall north of Yingkou, it did not establish an effective defense system. After all, Li Yan couldn't fully trust the Manchurians in the city, and he had to send some people to monitor his rear to prevent himself from being attacked from front and back.

However, even in such a critical situation, Li Yan still calmly talked to Deshan and asked him about some conditions in the city. Li Yan's composure finally calmed Deshan down, and it also gave him no time to think about other things.

With Turush's hesitation, Li Yan also had time to gather back the rear team, thus strengthening the defense of the three city gates.

Compared with the landing efficiency of the Ming army, the speed of the Qing army's assembly was obviously a little slow. Of course, this is also because the Qing army needs to take out the armor from the arsenal to wear, and the reason why Turushh does not dare to attack immediately is also because his subordinates have not worn armor, so they are unwilling to attack the city head that may be trapped.

In this day and age, armor was far more important than weapons. After all, a warrior in heavy armor can reach four or five unarmored soldiers. Therefore, whether it is the Manchu Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, it is a felony to possess more than five pairs of armor, but the management of knives and bows and arrows is not so strict.

Even in the barracks, armor and * are stored separately and are only issued in battle. Honnika was a man of the rules, and he also implemented this rule very well, so after the alarm was sent, he ordered someone to open the arsenal and distribute the armor and *.

Although the Qing army had a five-day cāo, the Qing army's cāo) practice still paid more attention to bow and arrow shooting and individual fighting skills, and did not pay much attention to the obedience and organization of soldiers.

Therefore, although the Qing army was fighting at the doorstep, because of the suddenness of the incident, the team that issued the armor and * appeared to be out of order, and it dragged on for more than 2 hours before Honika led the team out of the camp.

From the barracks to the north gate of Yingkou, it takes about 30-40 minutes to walk, which is about 2 kilometers. However, when Hongnika arrived at the north gate of Yingkou with the Qing army, it was almost after 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, the Ming army on the Yingkou wharf had completed the landing of three batches of personnel and was preparing for the fourth batch of personnel registration. According to the establishment of the Ming army, it is said that there is a regiment of Ming troops who have entered Yingkou City, and the men and horses who arrived under Li Yan are already battalions and companies, about 1,200 people.

On the side of the Qing army outside the city, in addition to the 200 or so soldiers who are not in the camp today, there are enough 1,300 people. When Honnika arrived at the north gate of Yingkou, he was furious to find that Turushh had done nothing but waited for his arrival.

No matter how beautiful Turush's words were, he didn't believe that the Ming army would be able to control the city so quickly. And if there is still any resistance in the city, wouldn't it be clear if Turushh launched an attack?

Touloosh was accused of missing a good opportunity, and in his opinion, he didn't run away. If it weren't for the fact that he was too unwell to storm the city in person, Honikadu would have planned to deter this group of arrogant generals in front of the battle.

Although in the past two years, Honnika has looked like he is ready to retire in the battalion, and he is quite laissez-faire in the affairs of the battalion, it does not mean that he will tolerate these soldiers making mistakes on the battlefield.

Hongnika has a simple understanding in his heart, that is, there are fewer Manchus in Liaodong than the Mongols and Hans, but the Manchus can force the Mongols and Han people to submit, and let them fight and produce for the Manchus, relying on the force of the Manchus.

These soldiers in Pingli bullied the Mongols and Han Chinese outside, and Hongnika did not think it was a big deal. But if the Manchurians even start to sneak into the battlefield, then it really should be cured.

Honnika whipped Turush angrily, interrupting his discernment of himself, and then angrily rebuked the cronie: "What nonsense are you talking about, you don't take people to rush, how do you know that the Ming army has taken control of the entire city."

I asked you to take someone to set off first, did you want to watch the play here? Now immediately rush up with your men, if the Great Khan knows that you sit back and watch the Ming army occupy the camp and do nothing, you think the Great Khan will spare you..."

Although Honika's whip did not hit Turush's face directly, his cheek was still partially scraped by the whip, which made his face feel a burning pain. However, Tuloosh did not dare to complain, but replied loudly: "Yes, my lord. The subordinate will personally lead people to attack..."

Turushh turned around and wanted to greet his subordinates, but Honnika suddenly stopped him again and said: "Send two more hundred-man teams, and try to fight the east and west gates, to see if the Ming army controls the three city gates..."

In the process of talking with Yingkou Garrison Deshan just now, Li Yan figured out the composition of the army below. This army was not a pure Eight Banners Army, but an army composed of about one-third Manchurians, one-third surrendered Ming troops, and one-third Korean musketeers.

For Shenyang, Yingkou is inland rather than a frontier after all, so the garrison here will naturally not use the elite of the Eight Banners, but will be garrisoned by this kind of miscellaneous army. Because of this, in Li Yan's eyes, the army below was too messy, and it did not have the momentum of a strong army at all.

When he saw that the Qing army that had been stationed outside the city suddenly moved, one with a larger number of people was rushing towards the north gate, while the other two with a smaller number of people rushed towards the east and west.

He only thought about it for a moment in his heart, and then said to Li You, the battalion officer on the side: "It seems that the Qing army wants to test our garrison strength while sorting out the formation.

The north gate now has 2 companies and 1 platoon of troops, and I propose to defend it with a company of men and horses, and the rest of the personnel are on standby. When the tentative attack of the Qing army was over, the personnel on standby attacked from the city gate, followed the defeated Qing army and directly attacked the Qing army's main position, and defeated them in one go. ”

Li You hesitated a little, he subconsciously glanced at the Qing army that was rushing over in a mess, and then whispered: "It's nothing to guard against the tentative attack of these Qing troops with a company of men and horses, but to attack the Qing army's main formation with one company after another, there is at least three times more than three times the enemy." ”

Li Yan lowered his head and sorted out his military uniform, took a deep breath and said, "I will personally lead them in pursuit, since we have come to Liaodong, we should have expected this situation."

If we don't even dare to attack three times as many enemies, how can we build confidence in the victory of our soldiers? It's only 400 miles from Shenyang, and if we can't get the soldiers to get enough courage, will we be able to hold out when the Qing army arrives? ”

Li You was silent for a while, and then said, "If that's the case, then please leave the task of counterattacking to me." Staff Officer Li, you should still command at the city wall. ”

Li Yan was about to object, but Li You had already said with a straight face: "They are my subordinates, and I know them better than you." I will not allow a stranger to take them on such a mission, and if you are confident in your plans, then I am better suited for this task than you are, because they will only trust me on the battlefield..."

On the battlefield, the enemy does not give you time to talk at length, and the commander decides that tasks can only be assigned in a fit and more suitable way. Li Yan only glanced at the Qing army that was constantly approaching the city wall, and accepted the other party's proposition.

However, before he went down, Li Yan grabbed his shoulder and said: "If this counterattack is to succeed, two things must be done, first, do not give the enemy a chance to assemble; Second, whether our army is pursuing or retreating, it must ensure a complete formation, and must not disperse the formation to capture prisoners.

As long as you keep putting pressure on the enemy, we will surely achieve the final victory. The other party is not an elite, just a group of miscellaneous soldiers. Once they start fleeing, they don't stay easily..."

Li Yan's judgment of the Qing army under the city is still very accurate, and the composition of the Qing army below is too complicated, which makes them still show the appearance of an army when fighting a tailwind battle. But once the battlefield situation is unfavorable, then the Manchus, Han Chinese, and Koreans in the army will immediately run away in groups.

There was nothing new about Turush's attack, and it was still the most common ant-annexed siege for thousands of years. Because Honnika was still well equipped with equipment, he did not need to cut wood on the spot to make ladders, as long as he took the short ladders brought out by the camp to attack the city directly.

The dwarf size of the Yingkou city wall gave the Qing army a lot of convenience at this time, but that's all. Although Yingkou was not built according to the military town, because of the abundant taxes, there was no shortage of reserve city defense equipment, after all, this is a project that can be reimbursed once a year.

Therefore, when Turushh led the siege of the city, the sheds on the walls that sheltered the bow and arrow attacks had been quickly opened. In this way, the muskets of the Ming army were fully powerful, and there was no need to worry about the bows and arrows of the Qing army below.

And Li Yan did not put all the men and horses on the city wall to attack, he ordered two rows of people to take turns to attack on the battlements, and deliberately placed a city wall not to defend so that the Qing army rushed to the city wall, and then used the reserve platoon gun to shoot the Qing army that rushed up the city wall.

This kind of small trap on the city wall cannot be seen by the Qing army below at all, but the blow to the morale of the Qing army is huge. After all, those who can rush to the city wall are the bravest soldiers in the Qing army who want to make meritorious contributions the most, and these people are killed when they rush up to the city wall, and then they are killed when they rush up, which undoubtedly makes the ordinary soldiers below hesitate and chill.

In such a siege battle, the besieging side is already in a relatively disadvantageous situation. And once the besieging team began to hesitate, this undoubtedly gave the Ming army a chance to fully attack. Even when Turushh himself climbed the city wall, he was hit by a shot from the Ming army on the top of his hat and had to jump again.

When Li Yan saw that the Qing army was rushing to the city with fewer and fewer soldiers, he knew that the morale of the Qing army had been defeated by himself, so he immediately gave an order to Li You under the city, asking him to take the soldiers out of the city immediately to counterattack.
