The city of Dingzhou is fifty miles southeast of Yiju and thirty miles northeast of Tieshan. Forty miles further east of Dingzhou City, www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion, is Anzhou City, and Anzhou City was also under the control of the Ming army in Dongjiang Town at this time.

More than 100 miles to the southeast from Anju City, is Pyongyang City, which is still the territory of the Koreans at this time in the late Ming Dynasty.

Let's say that the two brothers, Mao Kexi and Mao Kejin, led the defeated soldiers and escaped all the way out of the south gate, and the original team of more than 500 people was separated because of the disappearance of leaving the city, and now there are only about 300 people left.

Not long after the two led the defeated soldiers out of the south gate, Mao Kexi suddenly stopped, first gathered his subordinates, and then said: "Jianyu is cunning, they are surrounded by three and lack one, just want us to escape south." On the road to the south, there will inevitably be an ambush of Jianyu. We might as well turn around and go east, run all the way to Dingzhou City, and help Mao Chenglu defend Dingzhou, which can be said to be a crime in front of the marshal. Big brother, what do you think? ”

Mao Kejin, who was supposed to die in the battle to defend the city of Yizhou, this time because there were more than a dozen tiger squat cannons brought to Dongjiang Town by Chu Charter and eliminated by the Jingshi Shenji Battalion on the city, so when the Jianyu army attacked the city, he was not surrounded, and then died in battle.

At this time, after listening to his brother's words, he immediately said: "Now my brother is in chaos!" Where we go from here is up to you! ”

After hearing this, Mao Kexi raised his arms and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order and goes east to Dingzhou!" ”

The only remaining 300 or so people, after listening to Mao Kexi's greeting, immediately followed Mao Kexi and Mao Kejin's brothers, turned around and ran towards Dingzhou, forty miles to the east.

In history, a person like Mao Kexi was able to be named a prince by Huang Taiji, of course, because he surrendered to Jianyu with the army, and Huang Taiji had the consideration of a thousand gold and bones, but later he was able to sit on the throne and finally became one of the three feudal domains in the early Qing Dynasty, which is enough to show that this person is not simple, although his heart is not right, and he lacks the concept of loyalty, filial piety, and martyrdom, but after all, he still has his cleverness that is different from ordinary people.

That's it this time, his instincts are correct.

From the army of thirty Niulu with blue flags led by himself, Amin divided ten Niulu, that is, 3,000 people, and stopped halfway between Yiju City and Tieshan City.

As a result, most of the soldiers and civilian troops who escaped from Yiju City, because there was no siege army at the south gate, and they were also greedy for Tieshan City to be closer, so they went out of the south gate and fled all the way to the south.

As a result, except for a small number of strong and powerful routs who escaped through interception and ambush, the vast majority of the soldiers and people who fled in the direction of Tieshan fell into the ambush and encirclement of Jianlu, and more than 2,000 people were killed and more than 2,000 were captured, and the proportion of deaths was much higher than that of those killed and wounded in the defense of the city.

Of course, in the city of Yiju on the east bank of the Yalu River, there were no more soldiers of Dongjiang Town who resisted and those who were temporarily recruited, and those who could escape fled, and those who chose to resist without escaping were also killed.

And those who chose to surrender on their knees were now waiting in fear for Amin and Azig to judge their fate.

Azig was the first to enter the city, and according to the rules of the Jianyu, whoever entered the city first would be given priority in selecting the spoils of war.

Therefore, after Azig entered the city, he didn't care about any military discipline or not, and the first thing to do was to go straight to the government treasury in Yiju City and grab everything he could.

As a result, the government treasury in the city of Yiju disappointed Azig and was also greatly annoyed. The grain and grass had been set on fire and burned, and there was no silver in the treasury. What can be grabbed is only a batch of weapons and armor in the treasury that could not be taken away by the deserters.

Azig, who wanted to make a big profit, became angry and soon gave the order to slaughter the city.

Originally, there were not many ordinary people in the city, and this time, not only some of the old and weak people who failed to escape in advance were killed, but even those who knelt down and surrendered when they entered the city were also unlucky, and were indiscriminately cut down by the Jurchen soldiers with red flags.

When Amin ended the interception ten miles away from the south gate and entered the city with an army with a blue flag, the troops of Dongjiang Town and the Han people in the city of Yizhou had already been killed.

And the news of the Jianyu massacre also spread to Dingzhou, Tieshan and other defensive areas in Dongjiang Town, along with some of the soldiers and people who escaped later.

In the evening of the same day, Mao Kexi and Mao Kejin brothers took the more than 300 defeated soldiers, as well as more than 200 defeated soldiers and people who were collected on the road, and fled smoothly to Dingzhou City.

Guarding Dingzhou is Mao Wenlong's most relied on stepson Mao Chenglu. What is this Mao Chenglu's original surname, there is no record in history, he is not like Mao Kexi, Mao Youde, Mao Zhongming, Mao Sometimes, etc., he did not change back to his original surname until he died. Maybe he was originally surnamed Mao, and it may even be that he was really inherited by Mao Wenlong's nephews. These are all speculations of later generations.

In any case, this person's loyalty to Mao Wenlong, just like he never changed back to his original surname, is quite loyal.

Mao Kexi and others changed their surnames to Mao just for personal development or forced by the situation, after Mao Wenlong was killed, they soon returned to their original surnames, compared to Shang Shang brothers, Kong brothers, Geng brothers and Chen and Chen Youjian brothers, only Mao Chenglu did not change.

And Mao Chenglu should be the first to invest in Mao Wenlong's family among Mao Wenlong's group of righteous sons and grandchildren, so he is not only the most favored but also the oldest.

Mao Chenglu heard that Mao Kexi Mao Kejin fled to Dingzhou City with the defeated soldiers, and hurried over to meet him.

When Mao Kexi saw Mao Chenglu coming, he immediately pulled Mao Kejin to his knees and said, "Big brother, the younger brother lost Yizhou City, and the crime deserves death, please punish my brother!" ”

Although Mao Wenlong is arrogant and domineering in front of the court and civil officials, he has always been known for his harshness in governing the army and leading the troops.

But Mao Chenglu also knew that the city of Yizhou built by the Koreans was narrow, with a circumference of less than ten miles, low walls, no more than one zhang high, and less than 3,000 defenders.

In addition, the original value of Euiju Castle was limited to being an outpost of Dongjiang Town in the face of Jianyu, and its surveillance function was greater than its defensive function. Mao Chenglu and Mao Kexi and Mao Kejin brothers know this.

Therefore, he said: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers!" If you lose today, you will win it back tomorrow! Besides, stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood, as long as our brothers are still there, it's better than anything else! ”

After saying this, Mao Chenglu pulled Mao Kexi and Mao Kejin up, asked about the process of the loss of Yizhou City, and then sent someone to send a letter to Phi Dao.

Let's talk about it here, at sunset, Amin took the army with the blue flag and the Fuzhou soldiers under Liu Xingzuo into Yizhou City. Seeing that the city was still intact, but there was no grain and grass storage, he ordered Liu Xingzuo to send someone to Zhenjiang Fort to give an order, ordering his eldest son Erli to continue to stay in Zhenjiang Fort, and at the same time let Liu Xingxian, the guard of Zhenjiang Fort, escort grain and grass across the river and come to Yizhou City to listen to it.

And because the city of Yizhou was lost too quickly, Li Xingzhong and Mao Youde, who came to block the Yalu River with the fleet of the Denglai Naval Division and the Dongjiang Naval Division at this time, had not yet arrived at the mouth of the Yalu River, so naturally they could not intercept it.

In this way, enough for 20,000 people to use the grain and grass for the first half of the month, after a night of transshipment, finally all of them were sent across the Yalu River and into the city of Yiju.

At dawn when the east was whitish, all the grain and grass were transferred, and Liu Xingxian led his exhausted more than 1,000 men and horses to enter Yizhou City with the last batch of grain and grass, and in his grain transportation team, Wang Bi, the chief soldier sent to Phi Dao before, was among them.
