Chapter 509: Zu Da Shou Zhong Ji
This was the first time that the Houjin army attacked the fortified artillery position, and it was also the first time that the enemy artillery fired, and now the results are out, and the Houjin army destroyed six Hongyi cannons of the Ming army at the cost of losing two generals' cannons, which can be described as a complete victory.

Of course, the Mongolian Taiji, who is a sycophant, sings praises of virtue, and the red villain is extraordinary.
He said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, my great general's artillery has experienced actual combat and defeated the artillery fire of the Ming Kingdom, and in the future, the cities of the Ming Kingdom will no longer be an obstacle to the Houjin Army and the Mongolian cavalry. ā
Karaqin's Ukeshan flattered: "The Great Khan is mighty, and the Karaqin Department will be your most loyal minion, and he will follow the Great Khan to level the Daming City in the future." ā
Immediately, one by one, the Mongols and Taiji rushed to show their loyalty, and when they saw that Houjin had the ability to attack fortified positions with artillery, they thought that it would be much easier to loot and generate income in the future.
These robbers have all robbed the Ming Dynasty, and they know that there will be too many rich and wealthy businessmen hiding in the Ming City, and the small people of Shengdou will also flee into the city with their wealth.
The gold and silver treasures that can be obtained by attacking the cities of the Ming Kingdom are not multiplied, but should be increased by several times and more than ten times.
The robbers unanimously demanded that the Great Khan of Jin go to the Ming Kingdom to fight the Grass Valley, and they all stated that they would send the bravest warriors of the tribe.
The Ming army in Dalinghe City lost the deterrence of artillery fire, and the casualties of Houjin's clothed minions when they approached the city wall with a shield cart were negligible.
The Houjin army tried to attack the fortification under the cover of the shield car, and the combat effectiveness of the ironclad family of Zu Dashou should not be underestimated, and the Houjin army had no experience in attacking fortifications, and now they are learning to seize the city of Daming by force.
Their skills are relatively blunt, and their will to fight is not very resolute, and they have fought for a long time, and they have not bargained too much at all.
The red gangster had a plan in his mind and announced that Mingjin would withdraw his troops.
The next day, Zu Dashou found that the Houjin army that was preparing to attack the city had retreated like a tide, and their shouts of killing in the rear were shocking, and it was obvious that a Ming army of thousands of people had broken into the position.
Zu Dashou was overjoyed and immediately organized a response.
The main force of the Dalinghe cavalry was exhausted, and Zu Dashou took the lead to receive reinforcements.
Who knew that the oncoming Ming army fired arquebuses at the Ming army of Daling River, and it turned out that these Ming troops were pretended to be wearing the Ming army uniforms in the Eight Banners of Goryeo.
Immediately, the Houjin cavalry in ambush suddenly came out and cut off Zu Dashou's way back, seeing that Zu Dashou might have been captured by the Houjin army, and was killing a group of men and horses at a critical juncture.
This is Zu Dashou's kindness and good reward, in order to be safe, he knew that he would encounter a vicious battle when he went out of the city to receive reinforcements, so he left Wu Sangui without it, for fear that this nephew would die in a melee and his brother-in-law would not be able to explain.
Wu Sangui was young and strong, and at this time, he was not thinking about being a traitor to show loyalty to the master of Jiannu.
On the contrary, he fantasized about galloping on the battlefield to kill Jiannu and make a contribution.
Zu Dashou led the troops to battle, leaving him to defend the city, and the itchy Sanguizi used a clairvoyant mirror to observe the battle situation at the head of the city, and saw the so-called Ming army attacking the troops of the Daling River, Sanguizi immediately realized that he had been fooled, and his uncle was very dangerous.
Wu Sangui rushed out of Dalinghe City with a hundred Jiading and five hundred cavalry who had been ready to go for the first time, but fortunately, he came quickly, and a fierce battle actually opened up Zu Dashou's retreat.
In the end, Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui joined forces to fight and retreat, and finally fled back to Dalinghe City at the cost of losing seventy percent of the cavalry, and Wu Sangui was stabbed in the nose and covered with blood.
The frightened Zu Dashou was completely discouraged, he arranged people to block the four gates, and no longer dared to try to break through.
The red gangster, who had fallen short, interrogated the captured Ming army, and learned that the son of Wu Xiang who dug up his Laozi's grave and broke his bones and scattered ashes was the main general who rushed out of Dalinghe City and ruined his good deeds, and he was furious.
He strengthened his confidence in taking Dalinghe City at all costs, because he learned from the mouths of his captives that the defenders of Dalinghe would not have much food to eat.
The red gangster is excited, it seems that he can take Dalinghe City lightly with minimal casualties!
Baxiao no longer refused to consume his own men and horses under Dalinghe City, but strengthened the defense line and prepared to starve Zu Dashou's team alive.
In order to consolidate the defensive line, the Houjin army left only 5,000 heavy cavalry and 10,000 Mongolian light cavalry to monitor Jinzhou, and the rest were all transferred to strengthen the encirclement and annihilation of Zu Dashou and more than 10,000 Liaodong elites.
The red gang is a pragmatic person, understanding that the rice should be eaten one bite at a time, and the original siege of the two cities was to harvest wheat safely, and it was decided that the city should be laid down first to adapt to the situation.
Since Dalinghe has obvious defensive shortcomings, of course, let Jinzhou go first, and then make plans after taking down Zu Dashou's men and horses to capture Dalinghe City.
In order to ensure that none of the Ming troops in Dalinghe missed the net, he was not afraid of trouble, and mobilized the army and civilians to dig four trenches around Dalinghe City, and built an earthen wall more than one zhang high.
On the wall, the Eight Banners Foot Archers cooperated with the Goryeo arquebusiers to hold on, and there were also large generals and artillery to assist in the defense every few dozen steps, so the arrangement surrounded a small Linghe City like an iron bucket.
The Red Gangster is constantly inspecting the arrangement of the siege of the Daling River, and the Houjin soldiers and civilians are of course more cautious when they see that the master attaches so much importance to it.
Zu Dashou was sad, and he didn't rescue him and Sanguizi and couldn't escape, but I don't know if Houjin can accept them to surrender as traitors?
Mang Gurtai and Dai Shan learned that they had trapped Wu Xiang's son Wu Sangui and his brother-in-law Zu Dashou, and they knew that Wu Xiang was knighted by the Ming Dynasty because he had dug up their Laozi's grave and tortured the corpse.
The road is narrow! After all the soldiers of the Golden Eight Banners learned the news, everyone was gearing up, ready to catch Sanguizi with thousands of knives and crush the bones and scatter ashes.
On September 24, more than 43,000 cavalry reinforcements organized by the Ming Dynasty approached Jinzhou. The main generals will be Qiu Hejia, the governor of Liaodong, and Ma Shilong, the governor of Wujingluo, and the deputy will be Zhang Chun, the commander of Yongping Bingbeidao.
Under his command were 7,000 men and horses of Song Wei, the chief military officer, 3,000 cavalry of Inner Khalkha under Qinggeltai, 3,000 cavalry under Heihu, and more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Changping, Baoding, Miyun and Tianjin in Beizhili, as well as a car battalion formed by soldiers from Yongping Mansion personally trained by Zhang Chun.
Qinggeltai and Black Tiger got along well, the two fought this time extremely depressed, the Ming army except for their 6,000 men and horses and the thousands of soldiers and horses of the Yongping Mansion Che Battalion were still in good morale, and the more than 30,000 Ming troops were sluggish one by one.
The two of them were accustomed to seeing the majestic and high-spirited fierceness of Huang Sheng's command when he led the troops, and they really couldn't get used to seeing the eyes of these soldiers and thieves.
Black Tiger didn't care what Qiu Jiahe's attitude was, and insisted that the army march along the coastline. Because he had already informed the old leader Huang Mingli that he was going to Liaodong to relieve the siege.
Huang Mingli couldn't make the black tiger disobey the dispatch of the military department, so he could only say that he would send warships to follow them, as long as they were killed and did not leave the seashore, even if they could not win, they would not suffer a fiasco, otherwise the Huang family would be helpless.
It's not that Huang Mingli is unwilling to make a move, but that the Huang family doesn't even have many high-level villagers left in Liaodong, and there are very few regular soldiers, and it is simply a tyrannical thing to use a few navies to go ashore to fight a land battle.
Therefore, Huang Mingli can only express his position to provide artillery cover, and now the artillery of the new warship of the Huang family is not the same, used to cover the Ming army on the seaside, although it cannot have the effect of defeating the Houjin army, but it can be done to ensure that they will not be surrounded and annihilated.
Ma Shilong's pacesetter battalion also came with more than 2,000 horses, he knew that the Black Tiger was Lord Huang Sheng's favorite general, and immediately agreed when he heard the Black Tiger's proposal to march along the coastline. Of course, the cavalry of Qinggeltai followed the Huang family's horses.
