Emperor Ming Fengyunlu

Volume VI The Battle of the Northern Frontier

Chapter 3 is quite stale

Section 6 Siege Battle (5)

"Humph! The Hanwei army has troops and horses to contain our army in the east and west, and more than 20,000 people have gathered in the south to storm on, where will there be troops to raid from the north? Huang Taiji smiled self-deprecatingly, and then looked at the southern city wall that was fighting fiercely. As soon as he looked at it for a while, Huang Taiji felt a stirring in his heart, and said secretly: "The Hanwei army in the east and west has only been constantly mobilizing so far, and there is no substantive action at all, could it be that the Hanwei army on both sides is simply two empty camps?" This also explains why the Hanwei army in the south is so strong! If that's true, then isn't it ...... to the north."

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, you must know that there are only hundreds of Mongolian soldiers stationed on the north wall of Liaoyang now, if Liu Yunwei is determined to raid from there, these Mongolian soldiers will not have the power to fight back at all! The northern city wall will be broken through by the Han Wei army in an instant!

"But where are we going to send troops to support the northern wall? More than half of the soldiers and horses on the east and west walls have been drawn, and if they continue to be drawn, they won't be able to cope with anything on those two sides! Huang Taiji thought about it, and after a while, he still felt that it was more likely that the Han Wei army would attack from the north, so he hurriedly ordered 2,000 soldiers from the east and west walls to rush to the north city wall to support, and there were less than 1,000 Jiannu soldiers and Mongolian soldiers stationed on the east and west sides.

Not long after Huang Taiji gave the order, he heard a fierce horn suddenly sounding from the north, which was the Mongolian soldiers stationed on the northern city wall warning that a large number of enemy troops were approaching!

And so it was! This Liu Yunwei is so calculating, he almost fell for his trick! "Huang Taiji was extremely happy at this time, fortunately he had mobilized four thousand soldiers and horses in advance to support the northern city wall, otherwise Liaoyang City would not have fallen at night!

Huang Taiji said to one of the Pashku beside him: "You go and report to Azigetaiji immediately, and the south will be handed over to him, and you must block the onslaught of the Han Wei army!" I led my troops to the northern wall to defend against the enemy. ”

After speaking, Huang Taiji hurried to the north with a team of personal guards.

And when that Pashku found Azig, Azig was fighting a bloody battle with Zhao Kaishan. I saw that the two of them were still going back and forth, not letting each other go, and every move of the two of them was a killing move, and they both wanted to kill each other as soon as possible. However, whether it is Azig or Zhao Kaishan, they are both fierce generals who are one in a hundred, and after fighting for a long time, they are still evenly matched, and there is no winner or loser.

Azig looked at the surrounding situation with his spare eyes, and saw that there were more and more Hanwei soldiers on the city wall, although the battle situation was still very anxious now, but with the passage of time, the Dajin warriors would be driven off the city wall by the Hanwei army sooner or later!

"We can't fight like this anymore!"

Azig said secretly, and then slammed a few knives at Zhao Kaishan to force him back, and then turned over and killed into the crowd. And Zhao Kaishan was also out of breath at this time, and when he saw Azig turn around and retreat, he didn't chase after him, but continued to kill the Jiannu soldiers around him.

After Azig got rid of Zhao Kaishan, he received the news from Huang Taiji, and he was immediately startled, and said secretly: "Fortunately, Sibeile is cautious and saw through Liu Yunwei's tricks in time, otherwise today's battle would have been completely defeated!" Since Sibel has gone to the north, then I must guard the southern wall, and there must be no mistakes. ”

Thinking of this, Azig decided to make a desperate bet, and said secretly: "Since the Han Wei army attacked Liaoyang City from the south and north, there should be no troops on the east and west sides, so I will gamble!" ”

Subsequently, Azig ordered the white-flaged Jiannu and Mongol soldiers stationed on the east and west walls to leave dozens of people to pretend to be the defenders, and the rest of the soldiers and horses rushed to the south city wall to support. Nearly 2,000 soldiers and horses on the east and west walls of the east and west walls soon rushed to the south city wall, which instantly contained the offensive of the Hanwei army, and many battlements were taken back by the Jiannu soldiers.

The words are divided into two ends, one for each table.

Liu Yunwei was stationed outside the north gate of Ma, looking at the north city wall that had been garrisoned by additional troops, sighed heavily in his heart, and said secretly: "It seems that this Huang Taiji is really a strong opponent!" He saw through my plan! ”

At this time, Guo Yi stepped forward and asked, "General Town, the soldiers are ready, shall we attack the city now?" ”

Liu Yunwei thought for a moment and said: "You see, the strength of Jiannu garrisoned on the north city wall is at least three or four thousand, and our strength is only more than four thousand, which is on par with Jiannu. Immediately sent someone to send a message to Lord Yuan and Lu Guerrilla, saying that the plan to seize the city had failed, and the Feiyu Battalion and the Tiger Ben Battalion had each returned to the camp to rest! ”

Guo Yi took the order, turned around and explained that a team would not be collected at night, sent it out, and then asked, "General Town, shall we also withdraw?" ”

"Wait a little longer, if we retreat now, Huang Taiji will definitely mobilize troops back to the southern city wall immediately, in that case, the Feiyu Battalion and the Tiger Ben Battalion may suffer. Let's contain Jiannu first, and it can be regarded as covering the retreat of the Feiyu Battalion and the Tiger Ben Battalion. ”

Liu Yunwei thought for a while, and then ordered the soldiers of the C Battalion to form a formation to attack and kill and injure the Jiannu defenders at the head of the city.

A swan whistle sounded, and more than 1,500 soldiers marched forward in three rows of horizontal formations, all the way to a distance of seventy paces from the city wall.

At this time, Huang Taiji also rushed to the northern city wall, and when he saw this, he hurriedly gathered more than a thousand archers, preparing to shoot the bird gunners of the Han Wei army.

The distance of dozens of paces is an effective range for Jiannu's bow and arrows and the Hanwei army's bird guns. Huang Taiji and Bingying Qian ordered to shoot almost at the same time, only to see that a rain of arrows immediately jumped on the city wall, and there were bursts of smoke under the city wall; Countless arrows ruthlessly smashed into the formation of the soldiers of the C battalion, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and countless lead also swept across the city, killing more than 100 Jiannu soldiers.

In this way, the two sides went back and forth, shooting at each other for a moment, and neither of them took advantage of each other.

Liu Yunwei looked at the Jiannu soldiers on the head of the city, his face seemed to have a layer of frost, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Order, withdraw the army and return to the camp!" ”

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the C Battalion quickly retreated with their comrades, and after converging the army, they drove to the south of the city together.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji let out a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "Today is really dangerous, if this Liu Yunwei is not eliminated for a day, my Dajin will never have peace!" ”

An hour later, the Feiyu battalion and the tiger battalion that attacked the southern city wall also withdrew their troops back to the camp, the Hanwei army and the Jiannu were both treating their wounded, the southern city wall of Liaoyang was full of shocking bloodstains, stumps and broken arms were everywhere, like a huge slaughterhouse, some debris ignited by artillery fire was still burning, not emitting a burnt smell, the pungent smell of blood was disgusting.

After nightfall, Lu Ying and Zhao Kaishan returned to their respective camps, while Liu Yunwei and Yuan Mingxuan, Zhou Tianyi, and Hu Kun discussed in the Chinese army's big tent.

Zhou Tianyi said with an unkind face: "General Town, in today's battle, the Tiger Battalion lost 419 soldiers, the Feiyu Battalion lost 398 soldiers, the Pacesetter Battalion lost 77 soldiers, and the whole army lost a total of 894 soldiers. ”

Liu Yunwei frowned and said: "It seems that I was too optimistic before, this Huang Taiji is really an opponent, if it wasn't for Huang Taiji seeing through our strategy today, maybe Liaoyang City has been defeated now." ”

Yuan Mingxuan sighed and said: "Little general, in my opinion, do we have to think of another way, if the army continues to attack like this, even if Liaoyang City is captured, the soldiers of each battalion will be too bad, and when the time comes, there will be insufficient troops to attack Shenyang." ”

"Lord Yuan is right, we have to think of another way." Liu Yunwei lowered his head and pondered.

At this time, Hu Kun said: "General Town, there is one more thing, in the evening, I counted the reserves of gunpowder and gunpowder in the army. In these two days, too much gunpowder and gunpowder were consumed in the siege battle, and according to this method, the gunpowder and gunpowder in the army would be exhausted in two days at most. ”

Liu Yunwei sighed when he heard this, and was silent.

At the same time, Huang Taiji and Azig were also not sleepy, and after the two counted today's battle situation, they learned that the Zhengbai flag had lost more than 400 people, the inlaid white flag had lost more than 300 people, and the Mongolian soldiers had lost more than 300 people. As for the more than 1,000 people who took the city, they all died; Together with the women and children in the school yard, they were also slaughtered by the Jiannu soldiers who returned to the city to rest in order to vent their anger.

"Four Baylor, how long do you think this battle will last? The casualties of the warriors are not small! Azig asked worriedly, "What is Khan Amma's plan?" Why don't you come to support Liaoyang City? ”

"Taiji, don't worry, now the Hanwei army outside the city only has the strength of three battalions, where are the rest of the soldiers and horses?"

"Sibeile means that the rest of the Hanwei army is to block the reinforcements of Khan Amma?"

Huang Taiji nodded and said, "Definitely!" However, Taiji did not need to be impatient, just at nightfall, I received a secret letter from Khan Amma, the Great Beyler, the Second Beyler and the Third Beyler had already captured a lot of savages in the deep mountains and old forests, and now the combat strength of the two red flags and the two blue flags has not yet recovered, but the strength of the troops should be about the same; And the Horqin Department also sent more than 10,000 Mongolian iron horsemen to the south, and it will not take a few days to reach Shenyang! At that time, Khan Ama will lead two yellow flags, two red flags, two blue flags and Mongolian iron cavalry to the south to start a decisive battle with the Hanwei army! ”
