Chapter 243: Sneak Attack on Shengjing

Du Wenhuan's face was cold, looking at the wounded soldiers all over the ground, he didn't know how many casualties the soldiers had.

"Military seat ......" Li Chenggong's arm was shot by the Jurchens, and he had just been bandaged, he held his right arm with his left hand, and bowed down to give Du Wenhuan a salute.

"Success, your arm ......" Du Wenhuan's face was not concerned, but annoyed.

"Junzao, I was hit by Jiannu's bow and arrow in my arm, and I am out of the way." Li Chenggong's face was also full of gloom, and he seemed to be still recalling the tragic battle just now.

"What about the casualties of the brethren?"

"Back to the military seat, I just counted that more than 300 people were killed in battle, and more than 400 soldiers were wounded."

"These slaves!" Du Wenhuan cursed, "It's all my fault, causing my brothers to be killed or wounded." ”

"Throne, it's none of your business, who would have thought that Azig would dare to attack with only so many soldiers left? It's me who was too careless. Li Chenggong was like a little daughter-in-law who had just passed the door, standing beside Du Wenhuan with her head down.

"How many soldiers did Azig bring into the city?"

"About a thousand people, plus the remaining soldiers of Dolgon, there are still six or seven Jurchen soldiers in the city."

"Oh," Du Wenhuan snorted, "If it weren't for the commander's order, I would have taken his Dolgon's lair a long time ago." ”

"Throne ......"

"Don't mention it again, from now on, cheer me up, the commander has already passed the word, more than 100 Niu Lu with yellow flags, red flags, and red flags have already left Shengjing, and will soon come to the Taizi River, and I have kept an eye on the Dolgon brothers in the city, since Azig wants to accompany his brother, then let him go to hell to accompany him."

"Yes, Commander, I promise it won't happen again." Li Chenggong gave a military salute to Du Wenhuan with his left hand, which looked a little nondescript.

………………………………

Brother Hao has not yet reached the Taizi River, and Zhu Youzhen has already launched an attack on Shengjing.

Zhu Youzhen led the Left Route Army, composed of the Fourth Army, the Seventh Army, and the Imperial First Army, and after crossing the Liao River, he had been operating in the Liaohe Loop area, which extended beyond the Great Wall of Liaodong.

The Great Wall of Liaodong is like a huge M-shape, low on the left and high on the right, Shengjing is in the arms of the right side of this M-shape, and Zhu Youzhen is now in the upper part of the left side of this M-shape, the left side of the right side.

This was originally a place where the three tribes of Duoyan graze, but the three tribes of Duoyan have been completely wiped out by Zhu Youzhen's Left Route Army, and the attention of the Dajin Kingdom is in Liaoyang in the south, so this place is ignored for the time being.

Zhu Youzhen sent a large number of rangers to reconnoiter the terrain near the Great Wall of Liaodong.

He had planned to blow up a section of the Great Wall with gunpowder, and then march into Liaodong and attack Shengjing, the capital of Jiannu, but the rangers brought back better information.

To the west of the Great Wall of Liaodong, the three departments of Duoyan have always been friendly with the Dajin Kingdom, and are one of the most staunch allies of the Great Wall of Dajin, the Great Wall of Liaodong has long lost its defensive role, and the damage is also very strict.

Zhu Youzhen immediately ordered the soldiers to clear a flat passage along the trail of the original sheep intestine trail so that the army could pass through Guò.

Three thousand soldiers spent three days repairing a wide road in the south of Shengjing, which could not only pass through the horses, but also the artillery and grain trucks.

"Your Majesty," Liu Lin, who accompanied the army's interrogation, woke up Zhu Youzhen early in the morning.

"What's the matter? But Hai Dongqing has a message coming? Zhu Youzhen yawned and rubbed his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if it's good news," there was an indescribable confusion in Liu Lin's eyes, "Brother Hao took all the one hundred and twenty Niu Lu with the yellow flag, the positive red flag and the red flag, and went straight to Liaoyang, and yesterday at noon, they had already left Shengjing. ”

"Huang Taiji is going to work hard," Zhu Youzhen stroked his chin, "Okay, the more he has to work hard, the more he will make mistakes—what else is the message?" ”

"No, Your Majesty."

"None? How is it in Shengjing City? Huang Taiji's Zhenghuang Flag, how many cattle are there? ”

"Your Majesty, Hai Dongqing said last time that Zhenghuangqi has recruited fifty Niu Lu."

"Fifty? It was a lot......"

"Your Majesty isn't worried about the direction of Liaoyang at all? They've dispatched a hundred and twenty cattle this time! ”

"Liaoyang?" Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, "Yuan Chonghuan has been fighting with Jiannu for almost a year, so I still have to worry about this?" Even if he can't win, he can maintain the balance of power. ”

“……”

"Liu Lin, go down, if there is any information, report it in time, even if I am sleeping, now, I have to think about how to give Huang Taiji a big gift."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Lin walked away quickly.

At noon, Zhu Youzhen met with the three commanders of the Left Route Army, Man Gui, Hong Chengchou, and Wang Mujiu.

"The first royal army, the third watch cooks, the fourth watch sets off, and the fourth watch and a half surround the east and north gates of Shengjing;"

"The Fourth Army, the third watch and a half cooking, the fourth watch and a half departure, surrounded the west and south gates of Shengjing before the fifth watch."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Mujiu and Hong Chengchou replied in unison, their eyes were shining with excitement, the new army of the Ming Dynasty, this is the first time that the country is going to be destroyed.

Zhu Youzhen's face did not have any expression, "The two generals, the soldiers are very fast, they must completely surround Shengjing before the fifth watch and cut off Shengjing's connection with the outside world." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hong Chengchou added: "Your Majesty, what should I do if I meet the people?" ”

"Hong Laojiu, are you looking for fault? What I am talking about is cutting off Shengjing's connection with the outside world, Haoge's army, less than three hundred miles away from Shengjing, if you travel lightly and quickly, you can rush back to Shengjing in one day and one night. ”

"The minister understands, the minister should die." Hong Chengchou knelt in front of Zhu Youzhen like a prawn.

"Get up, give me a good time, and if you miss the hour, I will punish you for your sin." Zhu Youzhen was still angry, and his face was obviously angry.

No one knows the current pressure of Zhu Youzhen, in the history of later generations, the Ming Dynasty died directly in Dajin, and now, he finally has the opportunity to tamper with history and continue the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen soldiers in the city are only fifty Niu Lu, but the Jurchen nation is all soldiers, even children and women, can fight on horseback, and no one can determine the final result of the war.

Zhu Youzhen had been waiting for a long time in Liaohetao, he was ready to attack, and he had been waiting for the main force of the Jurchen cavalry to leave Shengjing.

This day finally came, God gave Zhu Youzhen a chance, but there was only one chance.

Zhu Youzhen must seize this only opportunity to erase the 300-year history of humiliation of the Han nation.

"Majesty, that...... What about me? They all went to surround the city gates, there was a battle, I ......" Man Gui saw that Zhu Youzhen had a rare anger on his face, and he dared to shout loudly, but others had a battle, and the four city gates were divided, he became nervous, and he didn't want to be a mobile force.

"You?" Zhu Youzhen's face softened a little, "When the army goes out, food and grass are indispensable, and we still have a large number of artillery and materials, so you can escort these materials as the rear army." ”

"陛xià, let ......"

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand to interrupt Man Gui's words, he felt that Man Gui was like a child who liked to watch the excitement, where it was lively, he would drill wherever it was lively, and it was really accurate to use the word "onlookers" to describe him.

"Man Gui, you first escort the grain and grass materials, the Seventh Army is cavalry, you don't have flintlock guns, it is not suitable for attacking the city at all, and when you transport all the materials over, you will patrol outside the city as a mobile force to prevent Jiannu from sneaking out of the city, when the gate of Shengjing City is opened, you will search for the remnants of Jiannu in the city, which can just give full play to the advantage of fast cavalry."

"Yes, Your Majesty." I heard that I could enter the city early, Man Gui was still very satisfied, when he first entered the city, the city was not yet stable, and he could kill the remaining Jurchen soldiers.

When the sky just brightened, it was the time when the gate of Shengjing City was opened, and a large number of people who were ready to go out of the city gathered in the four city gates, and most of the Han people went out of the city to farm. But today, none of the four gates could be opened.

The soldiers defending the city found that a large number of Han Chinese were stationed outside the city, all of them dressed in dark gray cloth and holding long poles like burning sticks in their hands, and among these Han people, a huge sun and moon flag was erected.

The Jurchens originally had a kind of contempt for the Han people in their bones, but since Yue Tuo's defeat in Liaodong, especially the recent loss of 60 Niu Lu by Azig at the Taizi River, they have developed an inexplicable fear of the Han people.

The Han people outside the city did not matter whether they were Ming troops or not, but they were numerous, and in order to avoid accidents, the defenders did not dare to open the city gates, and they sent messages to their respective truths.

The information was finally concentrated in the hands of Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji was also secretly alarmed: as soon as Haoge's army left, the Ming army surrounded Shengjing City.

He had too many questions in his mind, but he knew that no one could answer his questions.

Although the soldiers defending the city reported that they didn't know if the Han people outside the city were the Ming army, Huang Taiji was already convinced that they were the Ming army, could it be that the Han people would send themselves over as wrappers?

Huang Taiji personally came to the south city gate, at this time the sky was already bright, and every qiē outside the city fell under Huang Taiji's eyes.

All dark gray cloth;

a huge military flag of the sun and moon;

all flintlock pistols;

And the soldiers who stood still......

Huang Taiji gasped, if they weren't soldiers and killed Huang Taiji, he wouldn't believe it.

In addition to the neat dress, the formation, and the standing posture, Huang Taiji believed that in addition to their horsemanship, they were not as good as the Jurchen soldiers, and in other aspects, the Jurchen soldiers were far from their opponents.

When did the Ming army have soldiers with such neat appearances?

Also, where do they come from? Why did Shengjing surround overnight?

Do they know that Haoge's army went to Liaoyang City?

Huang Taiji forced himself to stop questioning, although these questions are important, but the most important issue at the moment is how to lift the siege of Shengjing by the Ming army.
