"Lord Belle, judging from the costumes of those Ming troops, they should be the newly formed forbidden army of the Ming Jing Division!"

Li Yongfang saw Mang Gurtai looking at him with a stunned expression, so he pondered for a while and said solemnly, he was very concerned about the intelligence of the Ming Dynasty, so he knew that Li Hongyu had formed a new forbidden army, and his clothes were the same as the Ming army that entered the city tonight.

"Forbidden Army?"

Mang Gurtai looked a little surprised, he heard that the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked Li Hongyu to train the forbidden army, but the forbidden army was the attendant of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and it seemed that he should not leave the capital, could it be that the person who commanded the battle tonight was the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but how could this be?

"Lord Belle, if this official didn't guess wrong, Li Hongyu is outside the city now, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse will not hand over the forbidden army to anyone else except him."

Li Yongfang also felt that this matter was a little unbelievable, and explained to Mang Gurtai with a frown, but judging from the combat effectiveness and clothing of the Ming army entering the city, it must be a forbidden army, and the Ming army in Liaodong did not have such strong combat effectiveness at all, nor did it have such excellent weapons and equipment, and it actually caused the Jin soldiers to retreat again and again.

It is undeniable that the Houjin soldiers live between the white mountains and black waters all the year round, and the harsh environment makes them very strong and brave and fierce, and they are very fierce on the battlefield.

But the Ming army was not as unbearable as recorded in the history books, and the best example is that the Ming army of Jin after surrendering was also very strong on the battlefield later, which made the Ming army and the righteous army in various places suffer.

In the final analysis, the low combat effectiveness of the Ming army in Liaodong has a lot to do with the cantonment system, and the soldiers are hopeless and are exploited and oppressed by the superior officers, so who is full of food and supports the desperate work on the battlefield.

In addition, a series of factors, such as the lax training of the Ming army and the fact that the troops mobilized came from the north and south of the river and were not adapted to the operational environment in Liaodong at all, which led to the phenomenon that the Ming army, which had superior troops, could not defeat Houjin in Liaodong.

Later, the Ming court had to use the conscription system to gather troops, which greatly improved this phenomenon, and the Dongjiang Army under Mao Wenlong was a model of this, making the Later Jin powerless against it, as was the elite of Shanhaiguan under Wu Sangui.

Li Hongyu saw clearly the crux of the low combat effectiveness of the Ming army, so he formed a new army, so that the soldiers could fight with peace of mind.

The forbidden army that followed Li Hongyu out of the customs this time was the personnel of the first three phases, and the least of them had been trained for more than a year, and both their physique and combat ability had been improved, and they all wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so they rushed and beat as soon as they came up.

This made the Houjin army, which had not been subjected to decent resistance by the Ming army before, be caught off guard at once, and they thought that it was the former Liaodong Ming army that attacked the city, but they were directly stunned and had to retreat again and again.

Li Yongfang saw something strange from it, and hurriedly came to Mang Gurtai to discuss countermeasures, if he was replaced by other Ming officials to attack the city, he didn't care much, but Li Hongyu was different, the battle of Tieling had proved the depth of his military attainments.

"It's just in time, Ben Beile just captured Li Hongyu and asked his father Khan for credit!"

After the initial stunned, Mang Gurtai quickly came back to his senses, sneered, and then said to Li Hongfang with a fierce face, and then turned over and entered the house, ready to put on his armor and lead the army to fight with the Ming army.

"Lord Belle, this move is absolutely impossible, Li Hongyu is insidious and cunning, even the Great Khan is afraid of his three points, Da Baylor and the fourth Baylor are defeated in his hands at the same time, if he attacks the city this time, he must be completely prepared, the lack of troops in the city will not be able to repel the Ming army at all, if you fall into a melee, you will fall into his trick."

Li Yongfang was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly chased into the house, and opened his mouth to stop him, "For today's plan, we can only get out of the siege as soon as possible while the Ming army has not yet controlled the situation in the city. ”

"Master Li has a point." Hearing Li Yongfang mention Nurhachi, Daishan, and Huang Taiji, Mang Gurtai suddenly calmed down, and after a deep groan, he bowed slightly.

Nurhachi was forced by Li Hongyu to move the capital to Kaiyuan, and Daishan and Huang Taiji were defeated by Li Hongyu in the Battle of Tieling.

Li Yongfang immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, he didn't want to die in Jinzhou, if he and Mang Gurtai were captured, Mang Gurtai might be released back to Houjin by Li Hongyu, but he, the "first general", would definitely be executed, and he would be punished with death, you must know that the officials in the court now hate him as a traitor.

At this moment, Mang Gurtai didn't know that Li Yongfang had saved his life, and if he really stayed and fought hard, then he would definitely be trapped and die in Jinzhou City.

"To tell you the truth, your Governor Li of the Ming Dynasty has come to save you, and now he is outside the city, you must be eager to meet him and tell him about his misfortune, but unfortunately you don't have this opportunity."

After putting on his clothes and armor, Mang Gurtai was just about to leave when he suddenly noticed the two young women curled up on the bed, so he stepped forward and said coldly.

As he spoke, Mang Gurtai pulled out his waist knife and stabbed the chests of the two women one after another, and the two women slowly collapsed on the bed and died, their eyes wide and dead.

"Alas!" Seeing this, Li Yongfang couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and sighed secretly in his heart, he was used to seeing this kind of bloody scene, fortunately he was on the side of the Jurchens, so he would not become the target of slaughter.

"Let's go!" Mang Gurtai wiped the blood stains on the bed on the bed, inserted it back into the scabbard, and led Li Yongfang and the guards around him to leave quickly with an expressionless face, and the top priority was to leave Jinzhou and return to Guangning.

In the early morning of the next day, the city of Jinzhou, which had been fighting fiercely all night, finally fell silent, and the Houjin soldiers in the city died and surrendered, and the soldiers of the forbidden army were searching house by house for fish that had slipped through the net.

Li Hongyu then crossed the Xiaoling River and entered Jinzhou City, and the people in the city had already fled before the Houjin soldiers came, and some of them were able to go south, while the others fled into the deep mountains or the Thirteen Mountains and other cities, which was equivalent to an empty city.

Corpses lying in pools of blood could be seen everywhere on the streets, both from the forbidden army and the Houjin soldiers, and from time to time the forbidden army escorted the dejected Houjin captives past Li Hongyu.

Although Jinzhou City was captured, Li Hongyu was not happy at all at this time, feeling sorry for those who died in the war, and this battle caused the forbidden army to lose a lot of vitality, and they could only recover slowly in the future.

Surrounded by everyone, Li Hongyu went to Mang Gurtai's residence in the city, which will also become his residence, and the house that can be selected by Mang Gurtai is naturally the best security effect in Jinzhou City, the wall is tall and thick, and safety is the most important thing compared to comfort.

What made Li Hongyu feel a little regretful was that not long after the forbidden army entered Jinzhou City, two or three thousand Houjin soldiers fled from the north gate, and according to later intelligence, it was Mang Gurtai who fled, and there was also Li Yongfang, a rebel general of the Ming Dynasty.

This is really beyond his expectations, he never expected the Houjin soldiers to run so fast, according to his guess, Mang Gurtai has to have a good fight with the forbidden army in Jinzhou City, fleeing without a fight is not Houjin's style, it is to be ridiculed.

Li Hongyu naturally didn't know that Li Yongfang guessed his arrival, and he didn't realize the power of his golden signboard, which actually made Mang Gurtai take the initiative to abandon the city.

Fortunately, Li Hongyu allocated the 2,000 men and horses of the sailor division to Zhao Shujiao, otherwise the 2,000 or 3,000 men of Mang Gurtai would have crushed the Ming army in Liaoxi under Zhao Shujiao.

Moreover, after Zhao Feng learned that a large number of Houjin troops had fled, he quickly adjusted his strategy and sent two thousand forbidden troops to assist the Shui Shi and the Ming army of Liaoxi, and it was bound to leave Mang Gurtai and others behind.

"Xianggong, Mang Gurtai is so cruel that he even killed the woman who served her!"

The two women who were killed had been lifted out of the room by the soldiers with a door panel and placed in the living room in the front yard, covered with white cloths, and seeing that the two women were only sixteen or seventeen years old, Naren Toya couldn't help but say coldly to Li Hongyu, very dissatisfied with Mang Gurtai's indiscriminate killing of innocents.

"In his eyes, these two women are just goods, and he doesn't treat them as human beings at all." Li Hongyu sighed with some regret, and then ordered the soldiers on the side, "They died because of our siege of the city, so we buried them." ”

"Xianggong, if you catch Mang Gurtai, you must be severely punished, since he is so murderous, then he must have killed a lot of innocent people." After the soldiers carried the bodies of the two women out, Naren Toya said to Li Hongyu hatefully.

"Don't worry, the prime minister will definitely be severely punished."

Li Hongyu knew that the grassland woman was free and easy by nature, and she was jealous and hateful, so she agreed slightly, and now that the battle is in this position, he can't exchange prisoners with Nurhachi, but he doesn't know if he can catch Mang Gurtai.

In order to keep Li Hongyu in control of the latest information so that he could respond, Zhao Shujiao would send people to report to Li Hongyu every once in a while about the siege of Mang Gurtai

Although the battle is still going on, judging from the current situation, most of the Houjin soldiers have been trapped to the death, divided and surrounded by the Ming army, and a small number of Houjin soldiers took advantage of the chaos to flee in the night, and I don't know if there are Mang Gurtai and Li Yongfang among the people who escaped.

At noon, Li Hongyu and Naren Toya were having dinner, and Zhao Shujiao and others came to report the results of last night's battle.

After a scuffle last night, the Ming army killed more than 3,000 enemies and captured nearly 2,000, while the Ming army killed more than 2,800 people and wounded more than 2,200 people.

It is worth mentioning that the most casualties were naturally the forbidden army, followed by the naval division, and the Ming army in western Liaoning suffered the least casualties.

The Later Jin army soon realized that the Ming army in western Liaoxi was easier to deal with in the battle, so it launched a special offensive against it to tear open the defense line of the Ming army and escape.

If it weren't for the fierce counterattack of the sailor soldiers and the reinforcement of the forbidden army, the defense line of the Ming army in western Liaoxi would have collapsed in the charge of the Houjin army.

After taking Jinzhou City, among the 13,000 people in Li Hongyu's hands, only more than 9,000 wounded soldiers could continue to fight, and more than 5,000 of them were left as the main force of the forbidden army and the naval division.

To Li Hongyu's regret, Mang Gurtai and Li Yongfang were able to get out under the desperate protection of his subordinates Houjin Bing, and rushed away in the direction of Guangning City with more than ten horsemen.

Although he felt a little sorry but did not dwell on this matter, the top priority is to seize the time to rest, the next day the Ming army will cross the Daling River to the thirteen mountains to rescue the besieged soldiers and civilians, to rescue those soldiers and civilians before the arrival of Houjin reinforcements, race against time and not let be lost.
