Chapter 165: The Bloody Battle of Liaodong 4
Zhao Shujiao waved his hand and said: "If you have been trapped in the city, although there is no big fault, but how can there be great merit, this general, not to be a sinner of the Ming Dynasty, to do it will be a hero of Liaodong, a hero of the Ming Dynasty, the generals will follow the general, not a year or two, but I have seen this general fight uncertainly, and I have seen this general, do that nonsense decision, this attack, is the general has been thinking for a long time, after the golden tiger is eyeing us, it is to break our Liaodong defense line, they did not receive such a result, this war will be protracted, Our food reserves, can fight for a month, but a month later, what should be, at this time, the top priority, is to break this stalemate, if we wait outside Jinzhou City to break the good, with the power of victory, gallop to aid Ningyuan, Huang Taiji will definitely retreat without a fight, Liaodong crisis can be solved, but if it has been such a stalemate, it is not good for my Liaodong, as a decision, even if it is a sinner, but also to take this risk, if the entire Liaodong people are not willing to do this, then when will the Liao be restored, generals, at this time, you should not question this general, We should go hand in hand with this general, fight a tomorrow for Liaodong, and let the Houjin people know that my Ming man is also strong-blooded, not a coward in their mouths. “
When all the generals heard this, they all knelt down: "I am willing to follow the general and go to this battle together." “
Zhao Shujiao has prestige in the Liaodong system, coupled with these words, it made the generals' heads hot, and spontaneously burst into a sense of pride.
The Ming Dynasty is a dynasty with backbone, even in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, at that time, when the north was in turmoil and the fall of Sichuan, he had not given up pacifying Liaodong, of course, at that time he was more than capable and insufficient, and although the Ming Dynasty at this time was not stronger than before, but after Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, a series of measures were taken to achieve results in a short period of time, and the Later Jin Dynasty dealt with the Ming Dynasty only more difficult than in history.
The next day, in the morning, the Houjin military tent.
A team of vigil Jin soldiers suddenly felt some vibration of the earth, the sound of heavy armor collision endlessly, these people from the military of course know, such a big shock and heavy armor sound, that is, there is a large force of cavalry nearby, the moment of shock, hurriedly beat the drum signal, in the big tent, running around, the Houjin army quickly made a deployment, the cavalry on the horse, the infantry array, ready, the sound disappeared, the Houjin cavalry searched around, searched, less than two miles to the north, found the horseshoe prints, quickly reported to Dai Shan.
Dai Shan, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by this chaos, and was very dissatisfied, if it was said that among the commanders of the Houjin, who looked down on the Ming army the most, it was this generation of goodness, the first time he heard that the Ming army was coming, this generation of good said that he didn't believe anything, and now it seems that it is just a false alarm.
On the second day, the Houjin army attacked the city more vigorously than the day before, probably to retaliate for the Ming army's play last night, but it was still fruitless to retreat, and the Ming army that held on to it with the help of the city wall, advanced and retreated again and again.
After retiring from the army, Dai Shan became even more angry, and successively beat and scolded many generals of the Chahar Department who were responsible for the siege of the city, which caused many dissatisfaction among the Mongols.
In the middle of the night, as yesterday, there was another shock, and the people who kept the business hurriedly reported, but it was still a false alarm, and Houjin was busy all night, and the middle-level generals punished these people who lied about the military situation.
The Houjin army felt that this was a small trick of the Ming army, and they didn't dare to go out of the city at all.
Although some people felt that things must be strange, and maybe this was a big move by the Ming army, the voices of these people were quickly buried in the sound of the waves, they were just a small group of people, and they couldn't change anything.
Although it was late at night, the lights on the Jinzhou city wall were bright, and the Houjin army who were on vigil could see it clearly, and no one went to report it.
As soon as the gates opened, thousands of horsemen rushed out of them,
The cavalry was mostly heavily armored and armed with spears, because they were not as good as the Jurchens, so they had to spend more money on equipment.
These cavalry, under the leadership of Yang Mengbo, went straight to the camp in front of the Houjin Dynasty.
At the same time, the 30,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry, which had been entrenched not far away, was facing the Chinese army's tent where Dai Shan was.
And the Mongolian cavalry also began to attack the left flank of Houjin, these Mongol soldiers had already arrived at the designated position, but the people who contacted the Ming army were slow to let the Mongols enter the battlefield, until yesterday, they said to the Mongolian general Tashhai that they sent troops late at night to attack the left flank of Houjin.
The Mongols are not good at using their brains, and the Ming army even said that if you send troops late at night, you should send troops late at night.
The Houjin soldiers felt the vibration in their sleep again, but deep down, they still thought that this was a small trick of the Ming army, and when the shouting and killing sound got closer and closer, they knew that the Ming army was really attacking.
Yang Mengbo took the lead and rushed into the camp in front of the Houjin, most of the front camp were Mongols, when they picked up the scimitar and wanted to get on the horse, the Ming army had arrived in front of them, and a battle began at this time.
The Mongols were still braver than the Ming army, but in the middle of the night, one side was frightened, the other side was well prepared and full of fighting spirit, and those braveries seemed insignificant.
There were 6,000 Mongols in the tent of the military camp in front of the Later Jin, and there were only more than 4,000 cavalry in the Ming army's attack this time, but the Mongols were still beaten on their backs, panicked, only more than 500 people escaped from the camp, and fled to the Chinese military camp on horseback, and among the 500 people who fled, there was a Houjin Beizi Azig, and Azig was also the commander of the former military camp.
The Ming army seemed to want to vent all the grievances that had been pent up in their hearts for many years.
Kill when you see people, ride a tall horse and rampage in the camp, the Mongols don't know how much they were trampled to death, Yang Mengbo was slashed by the Mongols in the fight, although he was wearing armor, but the blood still stained his back red, but at this time he was in extreme excitement, regardless of the pain in his back, commanding the soldiers, burning the camp and killing people.
The former military camp of the Later Jin Dynasty can be said to be completely annihilated.
Azig, who was rushing to the middle military camp, had an ominous premonition in his heart, according to common sense, the former military camp was attacked, and Daishan would definitely send reinforcements, why didn't he see reinforcements at this time.
And when he arrived at the Chinese army camp, Azig finally knew the reason, it turned out that the Chinese army camp was also in chaos, and the damage that 30,000 energetic Guanning iron horsemen could cause was obvious.
The Jurchens behaved much better than the Mongols in the previous barracks, and they were able to resist, unlike the former barracks, which were defenseless.
