267 The Yin Soldiers Break the City
"Mr. Song, this time I have to rely on you to give me advice, Li Yan went to Fujian to deal with the merger of the East China Sea Division and the Fujian Navy Division, it will be difficult to come back for a while and a half, Mr. will go with me on the expedition and march for me, this is a crucial battle, and I hope Mr. can do his best to help me!"
After Zhang Shenyan and others left, Cao Bianjiao also called Song Xiance, and now there are not many people around him who know about military aircraft, and it is naturally Song Xiance who can rely on it.
"The humble post is thanks to the general's refusal to give up, and the kindness is very generous, and now the general has some drive, dare not obey the order, and is willing to go with the general." Song Xiance also bowed his hand to show his intentions.
"Good! Pass on my general's order, and order the Beiyang Naval Division to attack immediately after receiving the order, attack the land of Denglai, recover the old land, and then go north to continue to attack Tianjin, sweep away the Qing Army's naval division, and tell Qi Biaojia, this time I will give him the opportunity to be ashamed, let him seize the opportunity, if it can't be done, he, the governor of the Beiyang Naval Division, will not do it anymore, go home to farm and retire! ”
"Let's do it!" Song Xiance also immediately drafted the military order.
Under the city of Xuzhou, an army of tens of thousands of people is meandering, the front army has 5,000 war cavalry to open the way, and there are 60,000 foot soldiers to follow, this is all the army of Cao Bianjiao out of Shandong, from Xuzhou Avenue through the canal, it is the boundary of Shandong, and the Qing army can drive directly to the hinterland of Shandong.
"Tomorrow, our army will be able to reach the front line of the canal, and the Huaihe Water Division is ready, once it takes the Zhuzishan camp, the front fort of the Qing army, it can drive directly to Shandong. Jinan is the seat of Shandong, and at present, Lu Fengchun, the governor of Shandong of the Qing court, led an army of 5,000 to defend it, which is easy to break. Li Chengdong led the army to attack Denglai, cooperated with the Beiyang Navy Division to take Denglai Erzhou, Sun Shoufa led the army north to capture Yucheng, in order to cut off the road for the Qing army to go south to rescue, Jin Shenghuan led the army to Liaocheng to assist the Yuyuan army to conquer the city as soon as possible, and led the army I led the rest of the men and horses to besiege Jinan! ”
"I am willing to serve the country with the general to the death and recover the lost land!" Everyone gave up.
"Kill!"
At midnight, the drizzle continued, and when the Qing court defenders in the Zhuzishan camp were sleeping soundly, a shout of killing suddenly came, and then a strange army with blue faces and fangs suddenly came out from all sides, on the side of their bodies, there was green smoke billowing out, extremely weird, the defenders were caught off guard, and they were immediately shocked by this group of strange troops, and in an instant dozens of people were already lying on the ground.
"Hell... It's a Yin Soldier... Run, Yin soldiers crossing the border......"
At ten points in the evening, after Cao Bianjiao led the army to cross the canal, it happened to rain lightly, and everyone decided to set up camp here, but Song Xiance offered a plan, at this time, he could take down the pillar and go to the camp first, open up the northbound passage, and could not delay it because of a light rain. Cao Bianjiao also thought so, the soldiers were fast, and they just hit him by surprise.
"Don't panic, fight, fight!" Chang Jingong, the deputy general guarding the village, also hurriedly commanded the defenders to resist. But this strange army of soldiers and horses had already shocked the Qing court defenders, and they all retreated in a hurry, how could anyone still pay attention to Chang Jingong's military orders.
This army and horse is the elite selected by Cao Bianjiao from the Tusi army from all over the country, the number is not much, but only five hundred people, has been Cao Bianjiao by his side, as a personal soldier, this time Cao Bianjiao sent them, under the leadership of Ma Wannian, they went to the back mountain to climb the rock, bypassed the front of Zhuzi Mountain, and suddenly attacked the Qing army camp. The defenders' hasty resistance in front of them was simply symbolic, and even more so with this demon-like dress, coupled with this weather, the timid defenders were only scared of ghosts, and they were almost frightened on the spot, how could they still organize an effective counterattack.
However, with a stick of incense, hundreds of defenders have been killed, and the rest of the people saw that they were not in the right way, and they threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground to kowtow vigorously, even in the face of fierce people and ghosts, which is the belief of China for thousands of years. By the time Cao Bianjiao led the army from the road to the front of the village, the gate of the village had been opened, and hundreds of people knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
"The soldiers and horses around the general are really good, killing more than 300 enemies, but there are no casualties among themselves." This is unbelievable for the battle-hardened generals, of course, they don't know how this army fights, even if they are replaced, they are afraid that they will be frightened, and a few people can calm down after seeing it.
Lekdehun is very unhappy now, quite unhappy, he has been fighting for more than ten years, he has never been so aggrieved, he has more than 10,000 people, surrounded by more than 50,000 people of the Ming army, they actually dug layers of soil and trenches on the periphery, in order to disintegrate their counterattack, this is the rhythm of trapping them inside, but Lekdehun really has no way to rush out.
Looking at Luck Dehun, whose face was getting more and more gloomy, Tan Tai's heart was also a little abrupt, Le Ke Dehun was a general, he fought bravely, took the lead, fought for righteousness and squandered money, and often got the soldiers around him to serve the dead, and then he was deeply versed in strategy, and generally rarely suffered losses, of course, this time, in addition, they were not prepared at the beginning, so they would be restrained everywhere.
Tan Tai still opened his mouth after a little hesitation: "Lord Belle, at present, it seems that it is unrealistic to break through on our own, let's send people out of the city to ask for help!" ”
Although the outside of the city was besieged by the Ming army, the Ming army was not yet airtight, and they still had a chance to lurk out. Tan Tai knew that there was no way out, he could only rely on reinforcements to respond, otherwise they would have been besieged, the Eight Banners were fine, and it would be difficult to say about those green battalion soldiers.
"Report ...... Lord Belle, the Ming army outside the city shot in a lot of letters! While Luckedhun was discussing with Tan Tai, a soldier rushed to report. Luckedhun took the paper in his hand and opened it to look at it, and was shocked.
"Lord Belle, is it the Ming army persuaded to surrender?" Tan Tai saw that Luck Dehun stood up and hurriedly asked.
Lucketthun shook his head, and just handed the letter to Tan Tai, who was also surprised when he saw it.
"At this time, the order to shave the hair was issued, and when the customs were entered earlier, the people everywhere were constantly fighting, and now this juncture is coming again, isn't that adding fuel to the fire, if the people in Yanzhou City know, they don't know what chaos is going to happen!" Tan Tai was also a little angry, they were already hard enough, I didn't expect Beijing to come like this at this time, isn't this causing trouble for them!
"Immediately declare the people, this is the enemy's trick, don't be gullible, no matter what the court is, but our task is to hold Yanzhou City, otherwise once it is broken, let alone the decree, whether our lives can be guaranteed or not, you can do it!" Luck Dehun also immediately went to Tan Tai to deal with this matter, he couldn't let the influence spread, otherwise they would be really dangerous, and he didn't want Yanzhou to become his place of death.
"Alas! I really don't know what the regent is doing, the reinforcements are not coming, but this is coming, it's really nonsense......" Tan Tai also muttered a few words, very unhappy, and he dared to say so, he really didn't dare to be someone else, because Tan Tai was Dolgon's henchman, even if Luck was on the line, Dolgon would not believe it.
