Chapter 115: The Tartars plundered Gyeonggi
After several days of bloody fighting, the defenders of Jizhou City suffered a lot of losses, especially the elite families raised by Lu Xiangsheng and Huang Degong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But it was precisely because Lu Xiangsheng led these families to fight directly with the Tartars that he defeated the Tartars' troops, which made the Tartars resentful and chased them all the way to the city of Jizhou.
Lu Xiangsheng was also very satisfied with this, in his opinion, in the next few days, he only needed to drag the Tartars in Jizhou City, as long as it dragged on, His Majesty would have more time to mobilize the troops of King Qin from all over the country to fight the Tartars.
However, seeing that noon was approaching, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but ask the soldiers behind him: "It's all this time, why haven't you heard the sound of the Tartar siege cannon?" ”
Just asking, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly noticed something, and hurriedly stood up, but accidentally pulled the wound, and couldn't help baring his teeth in pain: "Damn Tartar, this arrow almost killed the official." ”
At this time, Huang Degong hurriedly ran in: "It's not good, Lu Shilang, all the Tartars gathered outside the city suddenly disappeared overnight, and they didn't even ask for the people and property they looted." ”
"What!"
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but roar, and suddenly a sharp pain struck.
Immediately, Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly walked towards the entrance of the city, but saw that there was no trace of the Tartar outside the city, and the Tartar walked very eagerly, and even the stove pit of life was not buried, and there was still green smoke until now, but because of this, the Ming army patrolling outside the city mistakenly thought that the Tartar was still making a fire last night, and therefore they were all wary of whether the Tartar would make breakfast so early to launch an attack at dawn, so that the Ming army defending the city did not dare to have the slightest carelessness overnight.
But what people didn't expect was that overnight, all the Tartars were withdrawn, which made many officers and soldiers breathe a sigh of relief.
According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the Tartars withdraw, if they do not capture the city, they will be considered victorious, but Lu Xiangsheng, who aims to hold the Tartars in Jizhou City for three months, does not have the slightest joy at this time.
"The Tartar just left silently?"
"Yes, yesterday I bombarded the city gate, and I was going to attack the city with a roar, and even lost half of the cattle to attack the city, and it can be seen that I was obviously provoked by the battle outside your city to give us a look, otherwise I wouldn't have shot this half threatening and half appeased persuasion letter, saying that if you don't sacrifice the city again, he will slaughter the people of Jizhou today, why is there no one today."
After Huang Degong said suspiciously, Lu Xiangsheng was just silent, but after a long time, he smashed his fist on the battlements:
"Lu underestimated Huang Taiji, although we took the initiative to attack angered him, but also made him realize our determination to defend the city, I am afraid that he also knows our strategic intentions, Your Majesty said, the purpose of the Tatars entering the customs many times is not to attack the city and destroy my Daming, they don't have such a big appetite now, they are still just fighting for survival, intending to rob my Daming's food and population.
"The best result is that through plundering and encroachment again and again, the agriculture of my Ming foundation will be destroyed, and thus trigger a rebellion of displaced people, so that our Ming Dynasty will die directly, and then they will profit again!"
Huang Degong asked a little puzzled when he heard Lu Xiangsheng say this: "Please also ask Lu Shilang to make it clear, what is the purpose of this Tartar's sudden evacuation?" ”
"If I were Huang Taiji, he would immediately jump out of the trap after realizing that he might have fallen into a trap, and no longer insisted on attacking the Jingshi, waiting to be surrounded by the Qin Wang's division from all over the Ming Dynasty, but first used his mobility to loot around, and looked for an opportunity to eat the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, and then looked for an opportunity to get out of the customs, so that the vitality of the Ming Dynasty was greatly damaged, and he also obtained a large amount of food and population."
After Lu Xiangsheng said, he immediately ordered: "Immediately send someone to Beijing to inform Your Majesty that the main force of the Tartars seems to have changed their strategic intentions, besieged the city of Jizhou for several days and suddenly withdrew, and at the same time strictly punished the officials on duty at the gates of Jizhou to close the city gates, do not let the Tartars take advantage of the loopholes, and do not leave the city without the orders of the officials!" Do not abandon the city and flee, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! ”
Huang Degong hurriedly asked people to convey Lu Xiangsheng's order and left, and at the same time asked, "Now, what should we do?" ”
"You stay in Jizhou, the Tartars are now fighting guerrillas, no one knows where he will attack in the next moment, but the three most important strongholds must ensure that they are not broken by the Tartars, these three strongholds are the concentration of my Daming granary, there can be no mistakes, one is Jizhou City, one is the capital, one is Tongzhou, Jizhou has you, but Tongzhou is in the south, I am afraid that the defense is empty, I have to immediately lead an elite army to Tongzhou."
As Lu Xiangsheng spoke, he immediately ordered people to prepare horses, but Huang Degong arched his hand at him and didn't say anything.
……
Ookjeon is under the jurisdiction of Suncheonfu and is an important market town near Gyeonggi, but because of its southerly location, the prefectural order here did not take the news of the arrival of the Tartars from the south seriously.
The caravans from the south are still entering the city in an endless stream, and the people in the city are still buying or selling, and even the county lord is still sitting in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion.
The soldiers of the city defense also sat lazily on the edge of the city and dozed off.
However, in the midst of such a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, suddenly there was a tight sound of horses' hooves ahead.
As soon as a few vigilant soldiers woke up, they were broken by a few Tartars who came first with a sickle hook.
At the same time, a group of Tartars rushed at the city with a roar, and they were very fast, and before the dust had even hit the ground, they went straight into the city and cut down people at sight.
Huang Taiji and other Eight Banner leaders also rushed over: "Immediately occupy the county government, except for men and women, all the children and old people will be killed!" All the food was taken away, and all the houses that could not be taken away were set on fire and destroyed. ”
"Yes!"
A few Eight Banner soldiers who gave orders responded and quickly ran towards the alleys.
At this time, Dolgon on the side couldn't help but smile at Huang Taiji: "Zhu Youxiao himself wants to strategize and gather heavy troops to eat us when he hides in the Beijing Division, but it is really whimsical, not to mention that these officers and soldiers of his are cowardly and incompetent, even with the courage of our Eight Banners, he can't stop it." ”
"Don't underestimate this person, Zu Dashou and Liu Fangming can be quickly eradicated by him, so that he doesn't have to be distracted to deal with the three forces now, which has made Ben Khan think highly of him", Huang Taiji said and suddenly shot an arrow at a Han people who were running around under the Eight Banners: "You can't give Daming a chance to breathe, otherwise, if this person is the emperor for a day, I won't want to enter the Guankou for a day!" ”
Yutian City was slaughtered for half a day, until sunset, blood stained all over the West Mountain, Huang Taiji and others destroyed the city and plundered thousands of people and a lot of property towards Fengrun.
When the Fengrun County Commander heard that the Tartars were approaching, he was so frightened that he immediately fled to Tian0jin with his family, so Fengrun County was also self-defeating, and the people of the city were also devastated.
Hou Shilu, the commander of the East of Qinwang's division of Shan0, who was expected to rush to Fengrun County, was so frightened that he immediately turned around and ran back to Jinan.
At the same time, the Eight Banners Amin also gave up attacking Yongping City, and suddenly disappeared, only to be under Tongzhou City a few days later.
