Section 8 Night Battle in Liaoyang

Liu Yunwei stood in front of the formation with a solemn expression, his heart was full of worry, and he said to Yuan Mingxuan: "Lord Yuan, listen, the sound of fighting in the city has become smaller and smaller, and it seems that Huang Taiji has controlled the situation in the city. This Huang Taiji is really decisive, tonight's matter was handled too quickly and ruthlessly, and it didn't give us a chance to react at all, damn it! ”

Yuan Mingxuan sighed heavily, and said with a sad expression: "Pity my people in Liaoyang, they have suffered such a catastrophe today!" If you don't kill all the Jiannu Tartar captives, how can you comfort the tens of millions of unjust souls in Liaodong! ”

Liu Yunwei was also sad and indignant, looked at the soldiers of the pacesetter battalion waiting in formation, and shouted loudly: "The whole army! Besiege! ”

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

More than 10,000 soldiers of the pacesetter battalion roared in unison and rushed towards the southern city wall of Liaoyang, while the soldiers of the artillery battalion began to use the Huzun cannon to fire a salvo, using artillery fire to clear the way for the attacking soldiers.

In the pacesetter battalion formation, the soldiers of the C battalion rushed to the front, the three rows of horizontal formations were neat and uniform, and the fighting spirit was high, and the soldiers of the A and B battalions followed closely behind, full of monstrous hatred for Jiannu.

"Ready! Put! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Edward stood on the artillery camp and shouted hoarsely, "Release! Fire continuously, and shoot all the guns for me! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Dense artillery fire continued to explode on the city wall, and the scattered rubble caused huge damage to the Jiannu defending the city, and the Jiannu soldiers on the head of the city suffered heavy casualties and chaos.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji on the tower of the city was anxious, and hurriedly mobilized 2,000 archers to stand by in the city, preparing to start a counterattack immediately after the shelling of the Han Wei army stopped. At the same time, he ordered the remaining Zhengbai Flag warriors to find shelter and avoid the shelling of the Han Wei army.

After half a pillar of incense, the artillery battalion under the pacesetter battalion finally stopped, and Edward immediately led his men to retreat to the rear. The soldiers of the C Battalion immediately went up, and more than 1,500 bird guns began to fire at the head of the city, continuing to sweep everything on the head of the city.

Huang Taiji saw the opportunity and immediately ordered the archers in the city to enter the city to fight, and began to fire a volley outside the city under the cover of the followers and coats holding shields. The Hanwei Army and Zhengbai Banner Jiannu once again began to shoot at each other, and both sides suffered huge casualties, but they both fought to the death!

At this moment, Huang Taiji suddenly received a call for help from the east and west city walls, and the Feiyu Battalion and the Tiger Ben Battalion of the Han Wei Army had already boarded the city wall and were fighting hand-to-hand with the Mongolian soldiers defending the city.

"Hurry up and inform Azigetegi and let the warriors with white flags immediately support the eastern and western walls!" Huang Taiji yelled loudly at the guards beside him, and then looked at the Hanwei Army Pacesetter Camp outside the city with blood-red eyes, and said secretly: "This Liu Yunwei is simply a ghost!" ”

A moment later, Azig, who was encircling and suppressing the remnants of the rebellious people in the city, received an order from Huang Taiji, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly mobilized 2,000 soldiers with white flags to rush to the west city wall, and he led 2,000 soldiers with white flags to support the east city wall, and ordered the remaining soldiers with white flags to continue to clear out the rebels against Dajin in the city.

A moment later, the soldiers of the pacesetter battalion C battalion retreated quickly due to excessive casualties, the soldiers of the A and B battalions roared forward and killed, more than a dozen ladders leaned against the city wall one after another, and under the light of countless torches, two thousand battalions with a total of 3,000 soldiers began to attack the city.

Zhengbaiqi Jiannu was also uncomfortable, the previous confrontation caused two thousand archers to die thirty percent, not counting the loss of the rest of the melee soldiers, the huge casualties made Huang Taiji's heart ache. However, before he could catch his breath, he saw the Hanwei army begin to attack the city.

"Warriors! Repel the Hanwei army, for the sake of Dajin, kill! ”

Huang Taiji pulled out his waist knife, roared and rushed to the city wall, and took the lead in fighting with the soldiers of the Hanwei army.

At this time, Guo Yi also climbed the city wall with twenty personal guards, and killed the place where Jiannu was concentrated, and looked at the place where he passed. Not to mention that Guo Yi is very brave, just talk about the twenty well-equipped personal guards, which one is not one in a hundred elite warriors? At this time, when I saw the Jiannu Tartars who were inferior to the beasts, they were all like furious tigers, and killing Jiannu was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

Huang Taiji was greatly surprised when he saw it from afar, and hurriedly surrounded it with dozens of Jiannu heavy armor, trying to eat Guo Yi's department.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides were killed together. Although the number of Jiannu is superior, the combat power is not the opponent of Guo Yi's department, and only the share is killed in a one-on-one situation. As a last resort, Huang Taiji concentrated more than twice as many troops to block the onslaught of Guo Yi's troops, and the two sides were unable to hold each other for a while.

Compared with the fierce battle on the southern city wall, the Flying Feather Battalion attacking the western city wall and the Tiger Ben battalion attacking the eastern city wall were relatively relaxed. After a heavy bombardment of the artillery battalions under the two battalions, the Mongol soldiers on the east and west walls were suddenly in chaos, and the heavy casualties caused these two Tartars who were already weak-willed to be in chaos.

Lu Ying and Zhao Kaishan immediately seized the fighter plane and commanded the soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion and the Tiger Ben Battalion to start attacking the city.

It was just a charge, and under the cover of the Flying Feather Battalion and the Tiger Ben Battalion, the soldiers of the two battalions attacked the city wall very smoothly, and killed the Mongolian soldiers on the east and west walls.

At this time, Jiang Wentian was leading his soldiers of the A Battalion to fight the Tartars in a bloody battle, pressing the Mongolian soldiers to fight hard, and successfully took a section of the battlements on the west city wall, covering a large number of soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion to enter the city.

And Zhao Kaishan was even more brave, personally led the troops to kill and wound the east city wall, a mountain axe left and right to open the bow, the surrounding Mongolian soldiers died when they met, and they died when they met. The soldiers of the Huben battalion behind Zhao Kaishan took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and it only took half a pillar of incense to occupy the smaller half of the east city wall.

Zhao Kaishan looked at the Mongolian soldiers who were retreating one after another, couldn't help laughing, and said to the soldiers around him: "Haha, it seems that the Tartars can't stand it, we can recover Liaoyang tonight!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Kaishan saw that the soldiers who were chasing and killing the Mongolian soldiers in front of him were suddenly stopped, and then they were beaten back and forth. Zhao Kaishan took a closer look, and saw that it was the white flag Jiannu who came to support, and there were at least two thousand people, which instantly blocked the offensive of the soldiers of the Huben battalion.

Zhao Kaishan was not afraid, and said with a smile: "It seems that it is still a genuine Tartar, and it can actually block the attack of my Tiger Battalion soldiers?" All right, soldiers! Kill me and take back Liaoyang City! ”

Hundreds of soldiers of the Tiger Ben Battalion rushed up behind Zhao Kaishan, and fought with the white-flaged Jiannu led by Azig, and the entire eastern city wall instantly turned into a Shura field.

With the entry of the white flag Jiannu into the battle, the battle situation of the west city wall is the same as that of the east city wall, and it is once again in a stalemate, both sides are suffering huge casualties, both are enduring pain, and they are competing for endurance, just to see who first loses too much blood and falls.

"Little General, it seems that tonight's fighter plane has been lost."

Yuan Mingxuan sighed and looked at Liu Yunwei.

Liu Yunwei shook his head slightly, and said: "Yes, if only our Hanwei army could go north to Liaodong, our troops would not be so overstretched, in that case, I would be able to gather at least 50,000 troops to storm Liaoyang, and even if Huang Taiji had the ability to reach the sky, he could only be defeated and killed!" ”

Yuan Mingxuan just sighed blindly and said nothing more.

Liu Yunwei looked at the fierce fighting in front of him on the southern city wall, and said: "Let the soldiers of the C Battalion step forward to respond, and order the soldiers to withdraw, and let the soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion and the Tiger Ben Battalion also withdraw." ”

Half an hour later, the soldiers of the pacesetter battalion, the flying feather battalion, and the tiger battalion all withdrew in an orderly manner, and the soldiers of the three battalions returned to the main camp respectively.

After returning to the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Yunwei kept walking around the big tent angrily, and his mind was very confused. After a while, Liu Yunwei took a few deep breaths and said secretly: "Don't be in a hurry!" Can't mess around! Now that the initiative of the battle situation is still in my hands, I must calm down and see what method can be used to take Liaoyang City! ”

At this time, Yuan Mingxuan walked in and said, "Little General, the casualties of the soldiers of each battalion have not been counted yet, but the total number should be about a thousand. ”

"I see." Liu Yunwei sighed and said: "After tonight, Huang Taiji will definitely purge the people in the city, and when the time comes, not only will the people be slaughtered by the Tartars, but the possibility of us taking the city will be further reduced." Lord Yuan, do you have any way to take Liaoyang City? ”

Yuan Mingxuan shook his head and said, "I can't think of a good way for a while. Little general, in my opinion, let's slow down first, and if we are in a hurry, there will be chaos! ”

Liu Yunwei nodded and was just about to speak, when he saw Guo Yi walk in with a gloomy expression and said, "Something happened in the town!" ”

Liu Yunwei hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I didn't receive a report just now, the trapped camp and the Yingyang battalion led by Wu guerrilla encountered the onslaught of the two Yellow Banner armies of Jiannu twenty miles to the north, and now they are holding the camp, and there are tens of thousands of Mongolian iron horsemen who are acting with the two Yellow Banners; News also came from the Changshui Battalion that the two red banners and two blue banners of Jiannu had moved south, and the strength of the four banners was more than 50,000. ”

Liu Yunwei and Yuan Mingxuan were very shocked when they heard this, and their hearts were full of incredulity.

Yuan Mingxuan exclaimed: "The two red flags and the two blue flags have been disabled by us in the Battle of Thousand Mountains, how long has it been before their forces have recovered?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Yunwei and Yuan Mingxuan thought of something, and said in unison: "Wild girl! ”

"That's right! It must have been Nurha's red dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, wantonly capturing the wild Jurchens and adding them to the flags. Liu Yunwei thought for a while, and immediately said: "Now the battle situation has changed dramatically, and based on the news that the night is not collected, the strength of the Jiannu banners plus the reinforcements of the Mongols is estimated to have reached more than 100,000!" Lord Yuan, I think we should withdraw to the Thousand Mountains Camp first. ”

Yuan Mingxuan's face was very ugly and said: "However, now that the armies of Jiannu are pressing step by step, can we retreat?" ”
