Chapter 283: A cannon battle was ordered
Bolo on the city wanted to go out of the city to fight Gao Yihuan, but was desperately stopped by many Tartars.
Five thousand soldiers and horses went out of the city, and came back less than six hundred, and they also folded Bel Abatai, Bei Zibo and Tuo, and the Mongolian Belle Dong Daiqing, and there were less than 2,000 people in the city.
Although the Tartars fought bravely, they couldn't let him fool around, so let's send him to death.
Bolo's eyes were red, Gao Yihuan killed his father and brother, how could this revenge not be avenged? But all the people tried hard to persuade each other, and the white flag was Dorgon's man, and he was not allowed to spoil it at will, and he had nowhere to vent the pain in his heart, and suddenly he roared angrily, and struck a few punches at the wall.
The green bricks at the head of the city were very hard, and he was afraid that he would take the stack for Gao Yihuan, so he only beat his fist to the point that his flesh and blood were blurred, and then he gasped and stopped.
"Beizi, look!" At this time, a white-armored leader suddenly pointed outside the city, "What are the barbarians going to do?" ”
Bolo looked up angrily, and saw Gao Yihuan's men and horses camping three miles outside the city, and a group of cavalry galloped east and left the brigade.
"What else can you do, the barbarian must be going to spoil the crops!" Someone took a look at it and immediately said hatefully.
The horses rode in a group of twelve horses, and galloped apart, and in a short time a great fire broke out in the wheat fields on the east side of the city.
In less than an hour, Bolo was almost so angry that he was completely devoured by the hatred in his heart.
He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth in his heart, "Send someone to inform Prince Yu and ask him to send reinforcements quickly." ”
Not long after, the west gate of Zhengzhou was opened, and more than ten Tartar cavalry and Pegasus rushed out of the city gate, and the dust went west.
The Tartars galloped and rolled up a cloud of yellow dust, and the trees and wheat fields on both sides retreated rapidly.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a tripwire suddenly stretched in the middle of the road, and the tartar galloping in front of him was caught off guard, and suddenly lost his front hooves, and even people and horses rolled to the ground, stirring up a cloud of yellow dust.
The Tartar behind hurriedly reined in his horse and shouted in horror: "Which one is ambushing here?" ”
They responded with a whooshing sound, and more than a dozen arrows shot out from both sides, killing several people in an instant.
"Kill!" Suddenly, there was a loud shout on both sides, and more than thirty soldiers in leather armor and wielding knives and spears rushed out of the woods on both sides, and subdued the remaining Tartars by the way.
It was night in the Gao military camp outside Zhengzhou City, and Gao Yihuan gathered the heavy generals.
"Judging from the distance, Huchen can arrive in Xingyang tomorrow, and then take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Tartars to attack Xingyang overnight." Gao Yihuan used a wooden pole to draw on a simple sand table: "Xingyang is less than sixty miles away from the Tartars' camp outside the Tiger Prison Pass, once something happens in Xingyang, Duoduo will definitely send troops to chase after it." The Tartars were all horse troops, and the marshal only left the horse army to facilitate the retreat. ”
After speaking, he looked at the generals and said: "Now Boluo is shrinking into Zhengzhou, and he has been frightened by Ben Shuai. Wang Deren, you lead the new attached camp and evacuate overnight, so as not to be overtaken by the Tartars at that time. Ben Shuai and Black Tiger stayed here, holding back the Tartars for two days! ”
"Dashuai, or I'll stay, Dashuai will retreat first!" Xu Heihu clenched his fists and proposed.
Gao Yihuan shook his head, "All the cavalry left, the Tartars came to chase, and Ben Shuai didn't scare him." You do what Ben Shuai commands! ”
Seeing that Gao Yihuan had decided, the generals immediately hugged their fists and took their orders.
Although Gao Yihuan destroyed Abatai, this was actually just a partial division of the Tartars who were responsible for logistics and miscellaneous work, not the main force of the Tartars.
Now his strategy remains the same, that is, he will slip away after robbing the grain and grass, and will not fight with Duoduo.
It was the third watch of the night, and the infantry placed a lot of straw men in the camp, and then quietly left the camp and headed south.
In this camp, only nearly 1,000 cavalry of the Tiger Battalion remained.
At dawn the next day, Gao Yihuan rode out of the city, led the soldiers to the city, and began to shout and curse.
The Tartars in the city concluded that Gao Yihuan wanted to lead them out of the city, and then waited for an opportunity to seize the city, so they turned a deaf ear and couldn't defend it.
Gao Yihuan was furious, and asked dozens of Tartar captives who had their tongues cut out, lined up under the city to behead, and then returned to the camp.
At this time, on the official road to Xingyang City, Jin Shenghuan led an army of 5,000 horses to gallop rapidly, and it was only more than 30 miles away from the city at dusk.
Jin Shenghuan grabbed the reins of the horse, saw a dense forest in front of him, and then pointed with a horsewhip, "Scout, go in and investigate!" ”
Several cavalry galloped out and headed towards the forest, and after a while, someone came back and clenched his fists on his horse, "General, the forest is safe." ”
Hearing this, Jin Shenghuan nodded, waved his hand and ordered, "The army enters the forest, hurry up, hurry up and make equipment, and steal the city tonight!" ”
When he had finished speaking, he took the reins of his horse and led his men and horses into the woods, and then sent scouts to keep watch, and ordered some of them to rest, while others cut down trees and make ladders to climb the city.
On the fourth watch of the night, on the tower of Xingyang County, several dim lanterns were hung at the head of the city.
In the night there was no sound around, only the sound of insects and frogs, and a few Tartar guards, lying at the head of the city, fanned themselves with their hands, and continued to snooze.
Xingyang is the place where the grain, grass and materials of the South Tartar Route Army are stored, but the security is not strict, and the defense can only be said to be very general.
This is not surprising, the Ming army and the Chuang army are very scooped, can't help but fight, run fast, often before the Tartars arrive, they have already fled, and over time the Tartars are naturally arrogant and arrogant.
At this time, not far from the city, five thousand tall soldiers were lurking in the darkness.
Yi Daosan is leading a hundred subordinates to this Xingyang City.
This army is a group of people directly under Gao Yihuan, they are all heroes in the green forest, handed over to the three commanders of Yi Dao, and it was originally a bureau in the blue army, and this expedition was also transferred.
In the round battle, they have been sitting in the village until now, and they can be said to be an absolute elite soldier.
More than 100 soldiers touched the city, and Yi Daosan saw a team of Tartars patrolling with torches at the head of the city walking away, so he waved his hand and shouted in a low voice, "Up!" ”
Two soldiers held a long wooden tail, one soldier held the front of the long log, and the soldiers behind made a force, and the soldiers in front stepped on the city wall with one foot, and then the support of the wooden pole stepped on the wall quickly, and went directly to the city.
The four soldiers jumped up to the top of the city, squatted down busily, looked left and right, and there was a Tartar standing with a gun not far from each side, and his mouth was constantly snorting.
The four of them gently reached for their short knives, and one of the team members made a gesture, and then they each lightly touched the back of a Tartar, covering the Tartar's mouth from behind almost at the same time, and slashing the Tartar's throat with a dagger.
The Tartars were bled out, and they were not dead for a while, and their eyes were terrified, and they tried to struggle, but their mouths were covered so tightly that they could not make a sound, only their throats gurgled with blood bubbles.
Sergeant Gao soon stabbed the Tartar a few times, the Tartar's blood flowed, and the body lost strength in a moment, and was gently put to the ground by the Sergeant Gao, and died silently.
After killing the two Tartar posts, the high sergeant learned a night owl to chirp, and there was a long ladder to the head of the city immediately.
Yi Daosan jumped on the city wall, observed left and right, and found that there was candlelight in the city tower, and there was a sound coming, and a team of Tartar patrols with torches on the other side had turned back, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he made a few gestures.
A team of high-ranking heroes, touching both sides of the Chen Tower, have weapons in their hands, bent their waists and waited, while the others quietly went down the city along the steps of the city, preparing to open the city gate and drawbridge, and enlarge the army into the city.
In the doorway, Yi Daosan released the winch, and the drawbridge slowly descended and fell to the ground, and the soldiers immediately rushed up to move the crossbar and push open the city gate.
"What's the situation?" The Tartars in the tower finally heard the movement and let out a burst of whispers.
As soon as one of the Tartars rushed out of the tower, the Gao army in ambush outside swarmed him and hacked him to death.
At this time, Jin Shenghuan in the distance saw the city gate open, and a soldier stood in front of the city gate and drew a circle with a torch. Rush in! ”
The cavalry of the Gao army outside the city suddenly galloped wildly, roaring and pouring into Xingyang.
