Chapter 442: Suffering
It will take two days for the order to be delivered to Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji is in a hurry to prepare for the expedition, and it will take half a month to arrive in Fuzhou at the earliest.
Everyone thought that in the past half a month, Mang Gurtai would not have a problem holding Fuzhou. As far as Huang Taiji, who was connected to the order, thought the same, and he also felt that Mang Gurtai was making a bit of a fuss.
When he arrives in Fuzhou, the Changxing Army will definitely withdraw its troops. It was just an armed parade, so he was not in a hurry and prepared for the expedition in an orderly manner.
However, Mang Gurtai in Fuzhou City was already in a hurry, and the Changxing army launched a counterattack on the night when it occupied the trench.
The thousand-strong army he sent to garrison the trench was slaughtered, and during the day he again sent his armor to capture the trench, and after suffering heavy casualties, he reoccupied the trench.
That night, the Changxing army attacked the trench again, and although Aibali successfully defended the trench, it paid the price of more than 2,000 people.
As soon as the morning dawned, Mang Gurtai attacked again, and once again took the second trench at a heavy price, and was recaptured by the Changxing army that night.
After repeated tug-of-war several times, Mang Gurtai was horrified to find that his men and horses had been swallowed up by two inconspicuous moats, nearly 10,000 people.
With such a large number of casualties, he couldn't believe why the Changxing Army was so tenacious. Repeatedly fighting with yourself for the trenches? Is it right or wrong not to let the Changxing army dig the trenches?
Wu Shuang led his men and horses to lie on the cold ground, and in front of them was their target. There are dozens of Han military flags there.
The daytime fighting made the Han army banner so tired that he fell asleep in the trenches, and there were only two people on duty at night.
They completely shrank themselves in the trenches, not daring to show themselves at all. The trenches of the Changxing army were all excavated on the side of Fuzhou City, so the soldiers of the Han army were particularly difficult to defend against the attack of the Changxing army.
The people on duty at night did not dare to show their heads easily, and the fire guns in the Changxing army were accurate, and many people were shot in the head by the Changxing army after only showing a little. They could only lie on their stomachs in the trenches, and from time to time they would show their heads to look at this side.
Wu Shuang led the people to stop when he got closer to thirty steps, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the Han Army Banner that appeared from time to time, and Feng Sibao behind him immediately understood.
took out his crossbow and gently wound the crossbow, and crawled towards the side of the person who was on duty at night with the Han army flag, and Wu Shuang also took off his bow and meowed towards another Han army flag.
The darkness of the night was so dark and gloomy that even the wild beasts were frightened by the guns of the past few days and fled far away, not daring to look for food in this corpse-strewn land.
The night watchman of the Han military banner just poked his head out of the trench, but saw Wu Shuang who was about to shoot with a bow, he was surprised and just wanted to open his mouth to shout, Wu Shuang's arrow had been shot, and the feather arrow shot into the mouth of the night watchman, exposing the tip of the arrow at the back of the neck.
The warning that the man was about to shout was shot back into his throat by Wu Shuang, and the other person on duty at night widened his eyes in surprise when he saw his companion fall.
The crossbow arrow in Feng Sibao's hand, which was already approaching, had also been shot, and the crossbow arrow hit this person's eye.
The pain made the man scream, and in an instant, the Han military banners in the trench were awakened. Feng Sibao secretly cursed, dropped his crossbow and jumped into the trench.
The firelight of the handcuff flickered, and the Han army banner man who had just woken up fell in response. The shovel slashed at the enemy who wanted to resist one after another, and Wu Shuang led the people to jump into the trench.
Only a few people in the Han army banner here resisted and were killed, and the rest all surrendered on their knees. They had had enough of such torture and would rather surrender than give their lives to the Jurchens.
At the same time, fierce battles also broke out in other places, and in the dark night, only the Jurchen armor soldiers with the blue flag could compete with the Changxing army, and the Han army basically surrendered as soon as it was beaten.
The night passed, and Mang Gurtai returned to square one again. The trenches outside the city changed hands again, and there was nothing to be gained except to fill in the 3,000 men again.
"Lord Belle! Let the minions go and take the trenches over tomorrow, as long as you give the order, the minions will twist Zhang Dou's head off and kick you as a ball! Aibali patted his chest and said.
Mang Gultai didn't speak, he always felt that something was wrong. It seems that Zhang Dou has calculated, but he can't figure it out.
Tunbulu said, "Lord Belle! We can't go out of the city anymore, the blood of the Zhenglan Banner is bleeding enough, let the minions rest! ”
Hearing Tunbulu's words, Mang Gultai suddenly understood. I'm afraid that Zhang Dou just wants to fight with him repeatedly for the entrenchment, so that he can lure out the soldiers of Fuzhou City to eliminate them.
I'm afraid that the trenches that I can easily get my hands on during the day are all given to me by the Changxing Army on his own initiative, and I want to understand this Mang Gurtai's face turned pale.
With less than 10,000 horses left, can you still hold Fuzhou?
Zhang Dou outside the city smiled, and the battle for a few days once again wiped out more than 10,000 enemies. It seems that it is already possible to consider closing the net, and news has come from the shadow that Huang Taiji has led people to Gaizhou, and they will be able to reach Fuzhou in two days.
Tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle, are you ready? When Zhang Dou was in a happy mood, a secret letter sent by Zhang Wei made Zhang Dou's face sink.
Just when Zhang Dou was desperate with Mang Gurtai in Fuzhou, the Liu Xingzuo brothers, who had escaped from Fuzhou City, led 8,000 Han army banners and more than 10,000 family members to Jinzhou, joined Dongjiang Town, and went directly to Lushunkou, where they were stationed.
He invested a lot in Liu Xingzuo's brothers, but Mao Wenlong picked peaches. This loss Zhang Dou has eaten too much, and he has always been smooth sailing when he came to this era, and he has always carried the superiority of the traverser.
Today, Mao Wenlong of Dongjiang Town taught himself a profound lesson, he not only captured Jinzhou, but also added tens of thousands of elite soldiers for nothing. is not afraid of the Jurchens' retaliation, and the Jurchens must first fight Fuzhou if they want to make any moves.
Moreover, the equipment that Mao Chenglu sent out was still a fire gun bought from Changsheng Island, and Zhang Dou's mood at the moment was as disgusting and uncomfortable as eating a fly.
Zhang Dou was expressionless and relieved the secret letter, and said to himself: "Mao Wenlong! Is it true that Zhang Dou is a good-tempered person? ”
After sitting for a while, Zhang Dou said, "Someone! ”
Cheng Feng walked in from outside the tent, came to Zhang Dou and bowed and said, "Handsome! What do you command? ”
Cheng Feng has always been official in the barracks, and he has won Zhang Dou's trust as a young man and is Zhang Dou's indispensable right-hand man.
"Pass the order to Alan! Let him take the Sea Shark Battleship to Jinzhou to question Mao Chenglu, and let Allen watch it if he doesn't give me an explanation! Zhang Dou said lightly.
Cheng Feng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Dashuai! Do you need Alan to get the Golden State back? ”
Zhang Dou waved his hand and said: "It's better to get it back, at least you have to get Lushun back to me in the south!" You give Alan carte blanche and he'll know how! ”
"Yes!" Cheng Feng promised to turn around and leave!
Zhang Dou looked at the map of Fuzhou and began to think about how to launch a general attack tomorrow.
