Chapter 428: Golden State

In Fuzhou City, Mang Gurtai walked back and forth in his room. The fastest update has come to Jinzhou, and Mao Wenlong, Dongjiang Town, sent two generals, Mao Chenglu and Zhang Pan, to lead an army of 20,000 and are attacking Jinzhou day and night.

The ruined Jinzhou City can't resist for long at all, and it may have been broken by Mao Chenglu and Zhang Pan by now.

There was a bait he set for Zhang Dou on Changxing Island, and now the big fish did not take the bait, but the miscellaneous fish he didn't like bit it, and the depression in his heart can be imagined.

If you ignore Jinzhou, let Mao Wenlong occupy it. He can't afford to lose the responsibility of losing the city and land, and if he is used by someone with a heart to make a fuss, he will lose the position of the four major Baylors.

If you want to send troops to Jinzhou to capture Mao Chenglu and Zhang Pan, what if Zhang Dou of Changsheng Island sneaks up on Fuzhou?

After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to send his brother-in-law Zonomu to lead 3,000 blue banner vests and 10,000 Han army banners to exterminate the miscellaneous soldiers in Dongjiang Town, Jinzhou.

Right! In the eyes of Mang Gurtai, the Huazi soldiers in Dongjiang Town are miscellaneous soldiers. These miscellaneous soldiers could not fight head-on, and they came from all over Liaodong to the sea. went ashore to burn, kill, loot and leave, and the Jurchens did not tire of it.

The base camp of Dongjiang Town is on Phi Island, and the Jurchens can't get by. After going to the sea, he was not the opponent of the Han people, and the depressed Dongjiang Town became a thorn in the throat of the Jurchens, unable to swallow or spit out.

Although the dispatch of troops to Jinzhou this time could not get rid of Zhang Dou, a strong enemy, it was also good that Dongjiang Town, which could fight, was greatly injured. Maybe he can save his image in front of Ama and regain Amma's favor.

His own Fuzhou is at the forefront of the battle against Changsheng Island, and he has built dozens of large and small forts in Fuzhou to defend Fuzhou City, hoping that Zhang Dou of Changsheng Island will not join forces with Dongjiang Town to send troops to Fuzhou!

Only three days after Zonom left, a spy sent superstition. Mang Gurtai looked at the words on the letter for a long time, speechless. I saw a line of small words written on it: Changsheng Island has increased more than 10,000 troops, and I hope that Lord Belle will prepare early.

Mang Gurtai's confidence sank after reading the secret, the original Changsheng Island only had 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest of the Changxing army ran to attack the White Lotus Sect.

Upon hearing the news, Mang Gurtai once wanted to attack Changsheng Island again, but he could only let go of this tempting idea due to the lack of sea ships.

The three-mile strait has become a moat, and the artillery of Changsheng Island can easily cover the entire strait. Coupled with the back and forth cruising of many gunboats, he had no chance of sneak attack at all.

Now the Changxing Army has increased its troops by 10,000 people, and the original strength is already a combat force that cannot be underestimated. He still had an army of nearly 30,000 left, but he was still not sure that he would defeat the Changxing army.

The results of the Changxing Army in the past two years are really amazing, just like their Jurchen nemesis, every time they will break their heads and bleed.

A shadow has already appeared in the hearts of the Jurchens, and it is really difficult to predict the outcome of the battle once they fight. In addition, whether the remaining Han army flags will be dead set on being cannon fodder is also a question, under the prestige of the Changxing Army, these mud can be on the verge of defection, and they must not be guarded against.

In addition, in order to please Nurhachi, he killed his own mother with his own hands. Such a gesture of loyalty did not impress Nurhachi, but alienated him.

The Jurchens also circulated messages about their cruelty, tyranny and murder, and the hope of his son-in-law inheriting the throne was getting slimmer and slimmer, and he had to think about his own future.

When others become on the throne, they will definitely not let go of their sister-in-law, only with the military power in their hands, can they save their net worth and life, and it has become Mang Gurtai's choice to preserve their strength and not fight with the Changxing army.

Lao Ba has been jumping up and down very actively recently, and he is desperate with the Changxing Army to let Lao Ba's white flag go!

After thinking about it for a while, Mang Gurtai decided to focus on defense, and at the same time sent people to Shengjing for help. If he sends someone back to Zonomu in Jinzhou, he may be able to repel the Changxing army without reinforcements arriving.

Even if the Changxing army is difficult to deal with, as long as it holds out until the reinforcements arrive, it will definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on the Changxing army, and the enemy in Jinzhou will not be worried at all.

Immediately Mang Gurtai ordered the destruction of all roads from Xinkou in the north and south to Fuzhou.

With the issuance of Mang Gurtai's order, the entire Fuzhou City moved. The people of the city were driven out of the city to dig pits and destroy the roads, and they dug hard in the cold ground under the threat of the Jurchens' swords.

In the largest Zhuang Fort outside Fuzhou City, Liu Xingzuo sat behind the table with a gloomy face and did not speak, while Liu Xingren in front of him kept saying: "Mang Gurtai is also too deceitful, even if you drive our brothers out of Fuzhou City, you have to dig a ditch for our brothers' families!" Our brother must not bear this tone, but the eldest brother has a letter from the side, asking us to cooperate with the action! ”

Hearing his younger brother's words, a sneer appeared on Liu Xingzuo's face. said: "Mang Gurtai is unkind, don't blame our brothers for being unjust." We should have rebelled a year ago, when Immortal Island was afraid of Manggultai's 50,000-strong army.

Let us lie dormant for so long, and now that Zhang Dou has finally decided to fight Fuzhou, it is time for us to wait for the price to sell. If the benefits given by Zhang Dou are not enough, don't be bad for Lao Tzu and not give him face! It's a big deal, let's go to Dongjiang Town, there is still Mao Shuai's letter here for my brother! ”

After listening to his brother's words, Liu Xingren hurriedly said: "Big brother, don't!" Although Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town is strong, they are no match for Changsheng Island. Once we offend Changsheng Island, we will not have a foothold in Liaodong at that time. ”

"It doesn't matter! Xingren, you read the letter first! Liu Xingzuo said confidently.

Liu Xingren showed a surprised expression on his face after reading the letter, and said, "Mao Wenlong has already conquered Jinzhou?" ”

"Not bad! Mao Wenlong's fight against Jinzhou is inseparable from our brothers, and with our joining, Jinzhou will be solid.

Anyway, they all have to take refuge in the imperial court, and naturally whoever gives the most benefits will follow whom! At that time, let's find an opportunity to give Zhuang Bao to Zhang Dou, and then go south to Jinzhou. I believe that Zhang Dou will not be too embarrassed by our brothers, the crime of rushing to the friendly army is not small, Zhang Dou will not do it! Liu Xingzuo said confidently.

Hearing the eldest brother's confident words, Liu Xingren swallowed what he wanted to say back into his stomach. His brother's approach was right, but there was always some faint worry in his heart.

……

The city wall of Jinzhou was originally dilapidated, and after a bombardment by Zhang Pan's command artillery team, it collapsed a lot.

For the first time, Dongjiang Town did not use ants to attack the city, and only used the 3-pounder cannon purchased from Changsheng Island to collapse the city wall. Excited, the Dongjiang soldiers rushed into the city and killed any Jurchens they saw.

Mao Chenglu stood beside Zhang Pan and laughed proudly: "Haha!! The artillery of Changsheng Island is sharp, and it broke through Jinzhou City in one day. With this sharp weapon, the day when the Tartars will be expelled and restored to Liaodong is not far away! ”

Zhang Pan beside him said coldly: "General Mao! Jinzhou City has long been dilapidated, and the collapse is reasonable. If you change to a fortified city, you will not be able to do it, and if you want to collapse the city wall with artillery, you will need the heavy artillery of Changsheng Island! ”

Mao Chenglu was a little upset by Zhang Pan's words, and his father Mao Wenlong asked him to form a cannon battalion. He knew very well that he was two pounds, so he brought in the capable Zhang Pan as a deputy general.

Facts have proved that Zhang Pan is indeed a talent, just observing the battle of the Changxing army, he has figured out a set of enemy formations.

The training of soldiers was also conscientious, and in just half a year, Dongjiang Town had an additional artillery battalion of 3,000 people.

Mao Wenlong, who personally watched the artillery battalion, was greatly confident that he must recapture a piece of land from Jiannu, so that the imperial court could see that he Dongjiang Town was not a waste who could not fight if he did not take food and wages.

Pick and choose to go Zhang Pan set the target in Golden State. There are three reasons for this, the first is that this place is the southernmost point of Liaodong, and the many mountains are not conducive to cavalry travel.

Second, the Golden State is a seaport. Dongjiang Town can land directly in Jinzhou by sea, which is convenient for the transportation of troops. In particular, the artillery of the artillery battalion is only pulled by people and horses, and I don't know how long it will take to be put into the battlefield.

Thirdly, and most importantly, Changsheng Island is located in Fuzhou. As long as Fuzhou's Mang Gurtai has a move, I believe that Zhang Dou will never let go of the good opportunity to take Fuzhou and control the entire Liaodong Peninsula.

Zhang Pan persuaded Mao Wenlong with his three points, and the expedition to Jinzhou went as smoothly as he expected.

It took a day and a half to take Jinzhou City, and after occupying Jinzhou City, Zhang Pan began to repair Jinzhou City.

Reinforcements from Fuzhou may arrive at any time, and he has to repair the damaged city walls in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, even if there is a cannon battalion, it will be very difficult to defeat the Jurchen armor soldiers in the field.

In fact, the Jurchens came faster than Zhang Pan expected, and as soon as they blocked the gap in the city wall, Zonomu led his troops to kill.

The two sides immediately launched an offensive and defensive battle in Jinzhou City, and the soldiers of Dongjiang Town could not fight in the field, but they were definitely experts in defending the city. Only the dilapidated Jinzhou City was used to block the attack of Zonom, and from time to time it was able to use artillery bombardment to cover the Jurchen archers who were covering the siege of the Han army.

……

Wu Shuang stood at the edge of the Beixin Port, waved his arms and shouted to his soldiers: "Quick! Fast! Fast! Hurry up, Feng Sibao, you kid hasn't eaten enough! Why is it so slow! Those who want to merit fields sell some strength, and a lot of military exploits are in front of them. ”
