The military report sent by Mao Chenglu naturally made Anzhou guard Mao Youhe and Mao Zhongyu dumbfounded, but what made them even more dumbfounded was the reaction of Mao Wenlong and Mao Marshal. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Putting aside the usual, losing a city so easily, even Mao Chenglu, who was most favored by Mao Dashuai, was indispensable for a scolding or even a military stick.

But now Mao Dashuai's reaction is to say yes repeatedly, only to hear Mao Dashuai shoot the case and say: "Okay! Good! Good! Well done kid! ”

Qu Chengen, who rushed to hear the news, and Yuan Shu, a thousand households in Dongjiang Town, Jinyiwei, were also full of smiles when they read Mao Chenglu's military report, and applauded repeatedly.

Of course, Mao Wenlong didn't care about the expression and reaction of the Anzhou guard, and soon gave a big order: "Upload my order immediately!" Qu Chengen, deputy commander-in-chief, set off with 4,000 foot riders first, and rushed to set up an ambush five miles outside the west gate of Dingzhou. The Anzhou garrison of Mao Youxing and Mao Zhongyu, together with the main force of our Dongjiang Army, immediately went to the outside of Dingzhou City! ”

All of a sudden, the military order spread throughout the Dongjiang Army's various departments and camps, and they had been recuperating in the city, and the Dongjiang Army soldiers who had been waiting for two days to build a prisoner were all gearing up and their morale was high!

The loss of Dingzhou City was of course a planned thing for Mao Wenlong, but Mao Chenglu still resisted to a certain extent.

Azig ordered Du Du, the eldest son of Maile Ezhen Chuying, to stay in Yiju with three Niu Lu bannermen under the red flag, on the one hand, to take care of all kinds of people, livestock and property looted in and around the city of Yiju, and on the other hand, to take care of the wounded soldiers in the siege of Yiju.

After arranging these matters, Azig took the 4,000 main forces of the Eastern Expedition with the red flag of his department, and the 4,000 Fuzhou soldiers under Liu Xingzuo's command to recruit the rebels, and set off towards Dingzhou City in the early morning after resting in Yizhou City for two days.

Fifty miles is not too far, starting early in the morning and arriving at noon. Azig's bannermen with red flags were either cavalry or foot soldiers on horseback, so they didn't feel tired all the way.

And the Fuzhou soldiers under Liu Xingzuo's command, since they entered Yizhou City, have not rested, and they are renovating the damaged places of Yizhou City, and they are cutting down trees to make new siege equipment, not only have no benefits, but in addition to attacking the city, all kinds of hard work and dirty work have to be done.

This was also what the Han soldiers of Jin had to do after the surrender of that era. If it was left on the usual days, these Fuzhou soldiers would not say anything, after all, they all surrendered and were captured, and they could still pick and choose the fat and thin according to their own hearts.

But now it is different, under the deliberate indulgence of the general soldier Liu Xingzuo, especially under the intentional instigation and provocation of Liu Xingzhi, Jin Yingkui and other middle-level generals, these Fuzhou soldiers have become full of complaints, and the resentment that has accumulated in their hearts for a long time is becoming more and more difficult to suppress.

The army went all the way to the city of Dingzhou, and these Fuzhou soldiers, who came almost entirely on their feet, were hungry and tired, but their foothold was not stable, and they were soon ordered by Azig to take the lead in attacking Dingzhou City.

Liu Xingzuo clearly could not disobey the military order, but secretly explained that Liu Xingzhi, Jin Yingkui and other generals with troops treated them negatively.

Azig's abacus played very well, that is, let the Fuzhou soldiers attack the city, wait until the cannonballs, bows and arrows, rolling wood and stones and other defending materials at the head of the city are consumed, and then dispatch the main force with red flags in one fell swoop to take the not tall Dingzhou City in front of him.

Therefore, watching Liu Xingzuo send someone to pass the order, and then Liu Xingzhi, Jin Yingkui and others took the Fuzhou soldiers, carrying siege equipment, and marched towards the city wall, Azig's face was full of grim smiles.

However, the Fuzhou soldiers who marched forward in the sound of war drums, marched to the vicinity of the firing range of the tiger squatting artillery fire at the head of the city of Dingzhou, and refused to go forward again, and there were still about 100 steps away from the city wall, and across the moat, they began to draw their bows and shoot arrows, and threw arrows at the city.

Liu Xingzuo acted as if he didn't see it, and he didn't order to restrain his troops to continue the attack.

Seeing this, Azig was immediately furious in his heart, and whipped at Liu Xingzuo with a horsewhip, and then waved it and roared angrily: "Liu Aita, what kind of team are you leading as the general soldier of Fuzhou?!" Will you lowly Nikans fight at war? Rush forward for me! Rush forward! ”

Of course, the horsewhip wielded by Azig didn't really hit Liu Xingzuo's face, after all, Liu Xingzuo was also a big living person, but although it didn't hit Liu Xingzuo's face, there were several whips on the faces of the guards around Liu Xingzuo, one of which was Wang Bi.

Wang Bi was whipped, his heart was furious, usually facing the nobles of the Jurchen Eight Banners, even if he was angry, he could only bury it in his heart, the nobles of the Jurchen Eight Banners whipped your left cheek with a whip, you have to quickly paste the right cheek up, not only did not dare to resist, but even dared not look at it with an angry look.

But now, Wang Bi, who understands the Dingzhou plan, has rare courage, glanced at Azig resentfully, and said in his heart: "Sao Tartar, see how long you can be arrogant!" ”

Liu Xingzuo saw that Wang Bi's face was full of anger, and he was still muttering in his mouth, and immediately looked at him with extremely cold eyes, and shook his head slightly.

It has been several years since Liu Xingzuo's brothers surrendered to Jianyu, and he certainly understands what Azig said about the Jurchen. Considering that this was not the time to turn his face, he had no choice but to drive forward and shout at the Fuzhou soldiers under his command: "You eight lambs, cheer up Lao Tzu!" If you don't rush forward, you will be whipped in the back! Give me all rush! Rush me! ”

Under the scolding of his own boss Liu Xingzuo, Liu Xingzhi, Jin Yingkui and other Fuzhou soldiers and colonels also began to wield sabers, loudly scolding their soldiers, and driving them forward to attack.

These Fuzhou soldiers under the city finally mustered up the courage and re-pushed the Haoqiao car to continue to move forward.

At the same time, the artillery and bows at the head of the city also began to fire, a scene similar to the offensive and defensive battle under the city of Uiju, except that the attacking side was weak and weak, and the defending side was not particularly active.

After a few rounds of artillery fire, the Fuzhou soldiers threw down the ladders and siege vehicles, and fled back to the firing range of the tiger squat cannon, continuing to cower. Shooting soon stopped at the head of the city.

As soon as Azig saw this situation, he was even more dissatisfied with the Fuzhou soldiers under Liu Xingzuo's command, and soon sent a red flag supervision team.

The Eight Banners Jurchen soldiers of the Supervisory Team only listen to their masters, but no matter who you are, anyone who retreats and cowers will all swing their knives and slash over, and behind the front of the Fuzhou soldiers is suddenly a burst of ghosts crying wolves, chickens flying and dogs jumping!

Under the persecution of the Red Flag Supervision Team, the Fuzhou soldiers under the command of the Liu brothers plucked up their courage and attacked forward for a while. In this way, no matter how Azig scolded and insulted, as long as the overseer team did not follow, the Fuzhou soldiers in front would stagnate.

The Overseer slashed and whipped in the back for a while, and these Han soldiers belonging to the Liu brothers advanced for a while, and when the Overseer retreated, these Han soldiers also retreated.

After repeating this cycle several times, Azig completely aroused his anger, and asked people to call back Liu Xingzuo, who was scolding his subordinates in front, and scolded angrily: "My Dajin Kingdom has raised you Nikan soldiers for many years, is this how you repay your master?!" Get out of the way of those shit Nikans under you! Let me see how our Jurchen warriors of the Dajin Kingdom fight! ”

When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he didn't have the slightest sense of anger, and immediately asked Wang Bi and the others around him to go to the front of the battle to give orders. The Fuzhou soldiers, who had received the order, quickly gave way to a wide position leading to the city of Dingzhou.

Azig scolded angrily as he ordered the Red Banner Banner under his command to come forward and fight.

Objectively speaking, the post-Jin Eight Banner army of this era is indeed a formidable force, not only because the military quality of individual soldiers is stronger than that of several other East Asian nations of the same era, but also because of its collective organization and discipline, which is also second to none.

Although there are some signs of corruption and degradation compared to the era of the old slave Nuer Hachi, compared with the East Asian peoples of this cold weapon era, its combat effectiveness still ranks first.

While laughing at the cowardice of the Fuzhou soldiers, the bannermen with red flags raised the ladders, pushed up the siege vehicles, and rushed under the cover of a large number of archers.

A round of bows and arrows were fired, and there was also a great chaos on the head of Dingzhou City, and many people fell down screaming, which made Azig laugh loudly. However, after the flagmen with red flags rushed into the firing range of the tiger squat cannon, the cannon sound on the city began to roar again.

On the west gate city wall of Dingzhou City, which is about a mile wide, every dozen steps is a tiger squat cannon, covering the entire open area under the city.

As soon as the cannon was fired, several or more than a dozen Jianyu Jurchen soldiers were hit, and those with shields and armor were a little better, and they still endured severe pain and continued to move forward after being hit, while the Jianyu Jurchen soldiers who did not hold shields and did not wear armor fell to the ground one after another, wailing and rolling non-stop.

The kind of fierce fear of death with the remnants of barbarians at the beginning of the Jianyu Jurchen Zhaoxing is particularly evident at such a moment.

Despite the incessant bombardment of a large area of scattered bombs from the city's artillery fire, the Jianyu Jurchen soldiers attacking from below the city still kept charging forward regardless of it. One

After the artillery bombardment, it was a bloody storm, and the captured prisoners who were hit certainly had to bear the misfortune of being hit, but the prisoners who were not hit still did not stop.

In this way, it didn't take long for the many bannermen with red flags to finally pass through the death zone that the city's artillery fire could cover.

The defect that the Tiger Squat Cannon was too stubby to shoot down was soon exposed, and although it was still being fired one after another, its role was very limited. Because the enemy has already attacked the eyes.

A ladder and siege carts leaned against the city wall, and the defenders at the head of the city were in a great disorder, and some of the defenders armed with arquebuses shot with a bang, while the soldiers armed with boring, palladium and hook sickles hurriedly stepped forward and pushed the ladders out......

However, one was knocked down, and many more came up, and most importantly, one siege engine could not be overturned.

Therefore, a red flag soldier soon rushed to the head of the city and engaged the defenders in hand-to-hand combat.

As more and more Jianyu Jurchen pigtailed soldiers attacked the city, Mao Chenglu's department at the head of the city collapsed, and Mao Chenglu, who was standing at the height of the west gate of Dingzhou and commanded Mao Chenglu, who was defending the city, of course knew Mao Wenlong's plan.

At this time, seeing that the city was defended to this point, it not only supported the whole army of Jianyu and the Red Flag, but also caused a lot of casualties to the pigtail soldiers of the Red Banner Department, so he immediately ordered Mao Kexi, Mao Kejin and other generals who assisted in defending the city to abandon the city, and then quickly got off the city and got on the horse, and fled to the south gate with the Dingzhou defenders who could be gathered.

When Mao Chenglu led the soldiers defending the city to escape from Dingzhou City, he deliberately did not burn the treasury and storage of Dingzhou, so as to leave an impression that the Red Banner Army entered the city and fled in a hurry.

His escape was half-true, but in Azig's eyes, it was a 10% defeat.
