Section 19 The Beginning of the War

Hong Chengchou looked at the content on the letterhead, muttered for a long time, and was so anxious that a group of general soldiers scratched their ears and cheeks, and secretly squinted their eyes at the letterhead in Hong Chengchou's hand, wanting to see what was written on it and how many reinforcements came. It's just that in a hurry, I can't see the contents of the letter clearly.

Hong Chengchou, who understood the content, didn't talk about which army the reinforcements of the Son of Heaven Guards were mentioned on the letterhead. Just said that the commander of this army was the royal ancestor of Emperor Jianwen, which made Hong Chengchou's heart cool.

Among the news that the scouts brought back from the last time they asked for help, there was a rumor that Emperor Jianwen, who claimed to be two hundred years ago, had returned to the Ming Dynasty after becoming an immortal. Unexpectedly, this most ridiculous and absurd news turned out to be true. And it was admitted by Emperor Chongzhen himself, which was beyond Hong Chengchou's expectations.

Besides, even if this demon Dao who claims to be Emperor Jianwen is so powerful that he is making the emperor admit his existence. But he didn't do his demon in the capital, fooled the emperor, and enjoyed his glory and wealth. What are you doing in the war-filled place of Songjin outside the gate? Do you bring 3,000 so-called Son of Heaven guards to send them to death? What can an army of 3,000 people do? Has he lived enough?

Hong Chengchou snorted fiercely in his heart, picked up the black box placed on the stage, which was called the walkie-talkie by the leader of the guards who came from the message, the big eunuch called Fangzhenghua, and twisted a knob at the top of the black box according to the instructions.

There was a sizzling sound, and then a voice came out of the black box:

"Hey, hey, I'm the Guards Fangzhenghua, I'm the Guards Fangzhenghua, and the opposite side is Inspector Hong? Opposite is Inspector Hong? Please speak, please speak......"

Hong Chengchou was startled, and almost threw out the black box in his hand in a panic. Yang Guozhu and the other general soldiers beside him were also startled when they heard the sound coming from the black box in Hong Chengchou's hand, and Xia Chengde was even more frightened and almost escaped from the room.

Hong Chengchou froze, carefully picked up the black box, looked it carefully up and down, left and right, and hesitated to shout: "This official is the Great Ming Ji Liao Governor Hong Chengchou, Your Excellency is really the Master of Ceremonies Fang Zhenghua Fang's father-in-law?" ”

"Inspector Hong, thanks to the grace of the ancestors, has recovered his body, and now he has broken away from the palace and assumed the position of the leader of the Son of Heaven's guard. Feeling the danger of Songjin today, he specially ordered him to follow his ancestor to the Songjin defense line, intending to smash the siege of Jiannu and rescue the officers and soldiers of Songshan Jinzhou.

Inspector Hong, the army of Jiannu outside Songshan City, the ancestor has already found out the details, and it is scheduled to attack Jiannu in an hour. The stability in Songshan City needs to be presided over by Inspector Hong. If the soldiers under Governor Hong still have combat strength, they can kill them from the city when the Jiannu army is defeated and capture as many Jiannu as possible.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is built everywhere and requires a lot of labor. These Jiannu captives were strong men and good laborers. The ancestor had instructed that he could not do more killing, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty could undertake the heavy infrastructure construction tasks.

Also, Inspector Hong, Xia Chengde, the deputy general of Songshan City, and his son Xia Shu were in the camp of Jiannu at this time. The ancestor found out that this son was sent by Xia Chengde to the Jiannu camp as a proton, intending to collude inside and outside, and to find an opportunity to open the gate of Songshan City to present the city to Jiannu. The deputy general Xia Chengde has betrayed Daming, please take him down and ask him for the crime as soon as possible, so as not to leak the news to Jiannu. ”

Fang Zhenghua's voice was loud, and there was no feminine and high-pitched voice that a eunuch should have. Although Hong Chengchou couldn't tell for a while whether this Fangzheng was the chief eunuch of the celebrant Fangzhenghua, the meaning of this Fangzhenghua was unmistakable.

Especially Xia Chengde, who was in the room, was even more sweaty, and knelt in front of Hong Chengchou as soon as his legs were weak, crying: "Supervisor, Supervisor, this is slander!" The villain did not betray the Ming Dynasty, and asked the superintendent to learn from it. ”

Yang Guozhu smiled coldly and said, "General Xia, you said that this is General Fang's slander against you, so, where is your son Xia Shu now?" Call him here. ”

Hong Chengchou's eyes froze, and he nodded slowly: "General Xia, let someone call Lingzi over." ”

Xia Chengde heard that his whole body was weak and he was paralyzed on the ground. This made Hong Chengchou and others understand that Xia Chengde had really surrendered to Jiannu. Chief soldier Ma Ke was furious in his heart, flew up and kicked Xia Chengde on the ground fiercely, and scolded angrily: "Despicable villain, dare to sacrifice the city to Jiannu, do you want me and others to die under Jiannu's knife." ”

Hong Chengchou's eyes were cold, and he stared at Xia Chengde fiercely: "Come on, drag this thief down and tie it up, and wait for the defeat of the Jiannu army outside the city, and then kill the sacrificial flag." ”

Several pro-soldiers rushed in and dragged the crying Xia Chengde out quickly. Hong Chengchou breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice to the black box: "This official temporarily believes that Your Excellency is General Fang Zhenghua, but there is a little doubt, this official wants to ask General Fang to explain his doubts. Outside the city, Songshan City was surrounded by the slave chief Azig, and there were 40,000 Jiannu Eight Banners. General Fang only brought 3,000 guards, how to break the siege of Jiannu? ”

"Inspector Hong doesn't need to worry, although the Son of Heaven Guards have only been in army for more than a month, but the 40,000 Jiannu Eight Banners, in the eyes of my 3,000 Guards, are just 40,000 fat pigs running and jumping. With the equipment of my Son of Heaven's Guard, all these 40,000 Jiannu Eight Banners were annihilated, but it was just a wave of the hand. But the ancestor wanted to capture all the 40,000 slaves, which was too difficult, and he needed the assistance of the soldiers and horses in the city of the Hongdu Division, so that these Ming laborers would not escape.

Inspector Hong, the attack time of the Guards is an hour later, and he also asks Inspector Hong to be prepared, so as not to panic and let Jiannu escape. ”

……

At the same time, in the camp of Jiannu outside Songshan City, Azig, the king of Jiannu Dorowuying, was holding a whip and beating Bagrad who was kneeling on the ground. Just a few moments ago, Azig had already received about 3,000 Ming troops, and came to the outside of Songshan City, right under their noses, digging trenches in a hurry.

Azig looked at it from a distance, and the 3,000 or so Ming troops had no armor, no horses, and no swords, bows and arrows. Dressed only in a colorful dress that looked like a layer of cotton cloth, and with a round helmet on his head, he only protected the top of his head, not even his neck.

But such an army, right under their noses, took out a small shovel and dug a trench in a hurry. Enraged, Azig ordered Bolo to take 5,000 of his elite soldiers with white flags and kill them.

But no one could have imagined that this Ming army seemed to have no protection at all. Right in front of Azig's eyes. Seeing that Bolo led the army to rush to a distance of 400 paces from them, these Ming troops, who looked like weak chickens, unhurriedly put down the shovels that were digging the earth, took the firearms on their backs, and made a posture of aiming at Bolo's 5,000 inlaid white flags.

Then, when Bolo's 5,000-strong army rushed to a distance of 300 paces from the Ming army, the Ming army on the opposite side did not light the arquebus, and the guns rang out......

Three hundred paces, seven or eight hundred warriors with white flags fell off their horses.

Two hundred and fifty paces, more than a thousand warriors with white flags fell and never got up again.

Two hundred steps, more than two thousand warriors with white flags, returned to the embrace of Immortal Heaven.

One hundred and fifty paces, and still charging on the horses, there were only less than a hundred warriors with white flags left.

And those damned Ming soldiers just fired a few rounds of guns. When the gunfire stopped, Bolo was alone, riding on a war horse in despair, and was beaten down by a Ming soldier, becoming the only prisoner of the war and the only survivor of the two.

Enraged, Azig wanted to raise a large army and pounce on this Ming army, which only had about 3,000 men. But he was pulled by the pale Rao Yu Belle Abatai. The firearms of this Ming army are too ferocious, and even if more Jianzhou warriors charge, I am afraid that they can only end up in the annihilation of the whole army. Before understanding the details of the Ming army on the other side, it was still safe.

The other survivor was Bagler, who was kneeling on the ground and being severely whipped by Azig, who was Bolo's lieutenant. When he charged three hundred paces, he was lucky enough to be hit only in the arm and fell off his horse. Although he broke a hand, he survived.

It's just that the main general has been captured by the Ming army, and he, the deputy general, can only take the blame. Although, this pot is not something he should carry, nor is it something he can carry.

But the furious Azig didn't pay attention to these at all, he had fought with the Ming army for many years, and only the Ming army had suffered under him, when did his white flag warriors not even touch the position of the Ming army, and they were completely wiped out by the Ming army?

This Ming army, which looks like a weak chicken without protection, uses firearms, why not light the fire rope? Where did the Ming army get this new type of firearms? Since the Ming army has this new type of firearm, does the Ming army still have artillery as advanced as this firearm? Were the other Ming armies equipped with this new type of firearms?

Although Azig has a fierce temper, his mind is not retarded. The appearance of this Ming army was a huge threat to the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Jianzhou. This situation must be reported to Huang Taiji as soon as possible.

Azig, who had vented for a while, kicked Baegler away, and was about to summon his own soldiers to send a message to Huang Taiji. But at this moment, a personal soldier stumbled into the camp and shouted:

"Report to the king of the county, the Ming army on the opposite side is advancing towards our battalion......"
