Three-five-six strange night raids

The power of gunpowder in this era is actually quite considerable, and the black powder of the Ming season is already the peak of black powder, and there is faintly the power of some new gunpowder in later generations. (.la good-looking)

Ten carts of black powder, long before the war, had been buried under the top layer of the city wall, for fear of being wet by the blood seeping in, and the outside was wrapped in oiled paper and tarpaulin waterproof, and the lead was far down the city.

In fact, just like Amin that day, although Lian Zining had fully estimated the difficulty of defending the city and the huge casualties that his side would inevitably have, he didn't expect that this moment would come so soon. He originally expected to wait until the second or third day of defending the city to use this trick, but he didn't expect that it would be used on the first day.

However, the power is also extremely great, 20,000 Jurchen soldiers, none of them survived, they were all blown into parts, and not even a single corpse was left.

Of course, this is inseparable from the great role of the giant shield axemen, who firmly guarded the horse road and trapped the Jurchens in this small area, which made the effect of explosives play to the maximum.

Thinking of the hundred giant shield axe soldiers, Lian Zining felt a faint pain in his heart, although he told himself over and over again in his heart that their sacrifice was worth it, and for the sake of the overall situation, someone would always sacrifice, but there was always a mustard in his heart, and he was a little panicked.

The Ming army quickly occupied the city wall, and the stone and blue bricks and other things that had been prepared under the city were quickly moved up, and the Ming army quickly cleaned up the broken stone powder on the city wall, and then quickly built a female wall and re-set the defense.

However, it was obvious that their worries were unnecessary, and the remaining thousands of Jurchen remnants below looked up in a daze, and then let out a shout, and ran in the direction of the Jurchen array.

Obviously, their own side had all the advantages, but in the blink of an eye, these advantages were completely lost, and seeing tens of thousands of robes being blown to pieces, their spirits almost completely collapsed, and they were already completely frightened, and they no longer had the slightest intention to fight.

Gangyi looked at it from a distance, and waved his hand dejectedly: "Today's morale has been discharged, order, withdraw the army!" ”

From afar, watching the Jurchen army withdraw, begin to cut down trees, set up camp, and the city walls were silent at first, and then burst into a loud cheer.

Today, I finally survived.

On July 27, the 51st year of Zhengde, 140,000 Jurchen troops besieged Xishenwei, and the president of the Wuyi Army, Wu Yi's uncle, Lian Zining, led 8,000 Wuyi troops, 20,000 wounded soldiers of Jingwei, and 5,600 Shenwu right guards defended the Xishen Acropolis.

The Jurchen army besieged the day, with more than 75,000 casualties, which was extremely heavy, and finally in vain and withdrew.

It's night, and the Acropolis Lord's Mansion is happy.

In the lobby, the generals of the Wu Yi Army were all gathered together, but there were no officers in other sequences.

Lian Zining stood at the top, and the officers below sat in two rows facing each other.

After the Jurchens retreated, Lian Zining ordered the soldiers to demolish the barracks and houses that were not used in the city, and re-strengthen the city wall.

After arranging the defense, Lian Zining went back to his house to take a shower, changed into civilian clothes, and then summoned officers at all levels to discuss matters.

"My lord, the results of today's casualties have come out." The stone pillar is out of the line.

Lian Zining nodded: "Speak!" ”

"Today, our army suffered a total of 8,766 casualties, of which 2,900 were killed in Jingwei, 576 were seriously wounded, and 1,743 were lightly wounded, 1,457 were killed, 270 were seriously wounded, and 869 were lightly wounded, and 633 were killed, 87 were seriously wounded, and 231 were lightly wounded."

"But are you all settled?"

"If you go back to your lordship, they have all been settled, and the brothers who died in the battle have been put in coffins, and they will be cremated after this battle

Seriously injured brothers, our medical soldiers have already treated them, and some of them will break their arms and legs, but their lives are always safe. The lightly injured brothers have also been bandaged, and they will be raised for two days, and they can fight again! ”

Lian Zining hummed and said: "All brothers who are injured and killed in battle are treated equally, and there should be no difference." ”

Shi Dazhu responded: "Mark it and understand!" ”

Lian Zining pondered for a moment, knocked on the armrest, and everyone's eyes were attracted, and said, "Everyone, there is one thing that needs to be explained to you. ”

"Today, we have 8,700 dead and wounded, but the number of Jurchen dead and wounded is at least around 70,000, almost ten times that of us! We still have more than 20,000 available soldiers, and the Jurchens still have less than 80,000 available soldiers. ”

"But we have to see clearly how the casualties inflicted on the Jurchens today are generated! Today, the Jurchens died 70,000 in battle, of which at least 30,000 died in sniping by the river, sniping on the moat, and in the process of filling the moat. It's because there is too much weight on the body, why is it weight-bearing? It was because there was a moat in front of him, and in order to fill the moat, he had to do so. And now, we don't have the advantage of the riverside, and we don't have the moat, and the south of Xishenwei is already open. If the Jurchens attack, they will soon be able to pass through until they reach the bottom of the city wall, and the number of Jurchens we can kill in the process is very limited, and even more, if the Jurchens gallop quickly under the city wall with cavalry and shoot against us and the enemy, it will be even more difficult to deal with. ”

Lian Zining concluded: "In short, it is a sentence, the battle in the next few days will definitely be extremely difficult, and there can be no more luck in repeating today's results." ”

After Lian Zining finished speaking, everyone's expressions became solemn.

Lian Zining continued: "Presumably, you are all worried about what we will do next, and today this official will tell you that we are happy to defend Shenwei, and we will definitely be able to defend it, and the Jurchens will inevitably be defeated." The next thing to say is that it is a matter of life and death for tens of thousands of our Xishenwei troops, you all listen carefully, keep it in your hearts, and never leak it! ”

Everyone was in their hearts, and they all sat with their backs straight, looking at Lian Zining with blazing eyes.

Lian Zining said this, and then asked, "Who is willing to go?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't expect Lian Zining to have such a bold plan, which was really unbelievable.

In the silence, a general, Huo Ran, stood up, and everyone saw that it was Yang Husheng, the deputy Qianhu of the Wuyi Army's cavalry.

Yang Husheng hugged his fists and said: "My lord, anyway, if we defend the city, we cavalry can't help much, so let's let the standard go down!" ”

Lian Zining had a very good impression of Yang Husheng, this young officer who suddenly rose from the bottom, was born as a dragoon, his loyalty is undoubted, and he is calm and old, he is very proper, and he will act when he has the opportunity, and it is very appropriate for him to do this.

"You can think about it, this trip is extremely dangerous, and if it is inappropriate, it will directly become someone else's knife." Lian Zining asked in a deep voice.

Yang Husheng smiled: "The specimen is just a gangster in a suburban town in Beijing, if it weren't for an adult, this life would have passed in a mess." If an adult knows such an encounter with the standard, it is death, and it is also a reward for the grace of the adult. ”

Lian Zining nodded: "Okay, that's you!" You take the cavalry of the headquarters to go, and the official will send you ten more disciples of Yanagi Zongyan to protect your safety. ”

He stared at Yang Husheng and said, "Remember, if this errand can't be completed, don't force it, life is the most important!" ”

Yang Husheng's heart trembled, and said, "Wake up under the mark." ”

Then everyone went down, and Lian Zining, Yang Husheng and others discussed some specific matters of this operation.

That night, at the end of the hour.

This is equivalent to more than eleven o'clock in the evening in the later life, and the sky is already completely dark.

On the city wall, there were air death lanterns, the lights were muddy, and the light was dim, revealing a hazy yellow light, which looked like the pupils of giant beasts in the middle of the night. A dim yellow light illuminated the city walls, and behind the battlements of the newly repaired walls, the night guards walked around vigilantly. The crisp sound of bangs continued to sound, reminding the soldiers on the city wall to be vigilant. From time to time, soldiers shot rockets from afar, illuminating the space a hundred paces away, to prevent the Jurchen soldiers from sneaking up at night.

Under the city wall, a large urn was buried, and many soldiers lay on it and listened carefully, which was to prevent the enemy from digging tunnels at night to approach.

In the distance, the Jurchen camp, except for the occasional light, the entire camp was dark, like a crouching giant beast.

From the beginning of crossing the river in the morning to the end of the battle in the evening, the Jurchen soldiers not only suffered heavy casualties, but were also frightened, not knowing what tricks those cunning and deceitful Ming people on the other side would play.

Under such huge psychological pressure, they can be said to be physically and mentally exhausted, so they are sleeping very soundly at the moment.

Except for the light of the lanterns carried by the night watchmen, the four fields were vast and dark.

At this time, there was a slight sound in the urn city of the South City Gate, and hundreds of cavalry stood quietly in the night.

They were dressed in cotton armor, covered with a layer of black clothing, and the helmets on their heads were also wrapped in black cloth, and even the horses under them were black. It looked like hundreds of black ghosts, as if they were merging with the night.

Lian Zining was wearing a casual dress, it was nearly August outside the gate, and the night was already as cold as water, he was wrapped in a big coat outside, and only took one of the guards of Jiang Li Yena, standing quietly in front of the cavalry team.

"My lord, it's down!" Yang Husheng hugged Lian Zining with his fist.

"Come back alive!" Lian Zining patted him on the shoulder and just said something.

Yang Husheng knelt down and slammed his head to Lian Zining three times, turned around and got on the horse, and never looked back.

The bluestone that blocked the hole in the city gate had already been removed, and the city gate opened gently, making a piercing sound in the night, but the Jurchen camp must not be able to hear it.

Hundreds of horsemen rushed out, and the horses' hooves were wrapped in thick cotton cloth, and no sound could be heard.

If you want to go south, it is impossible not to alarm the Jurchens.

Hundreds of cavalry slowly accelerated, and by the end, they were already galloping as hard as they could, and the violent sound of horses' hooves sounded in the night, and it was heard far away, and the ground trembled for a while.

The Jurchens soon discovered the movement.

A shout and command sounded in the Jurchen camp, and the soldiers were awakened, and they got up in a panic to put on their armor and take their weapons to prepare for battle.

One by one, the lights were lit up, and the Jurchen camp was instantly lit up.

Countless footsteps sounded, and these Jurchen soldiers were worthy of the name of elite, and they were quickly prepared.

In the handsome tent, with fortitude standing on top of it, Amin stood beside him and said with a smile: "Sure enough, as expected by adults, these Ming people are so treacherous that they really came to attack the camp at night." ”

The expression on his face returned to normal, and he smiled and groaned, as if the tragic battle in which he suffered heavy casualties during the day, killing one-tenth of the entire population of the Jurchens in Haixi and two and a half men, had never happened at all.

On the other side, Zilharang's face was gray and wilting.

Resolute nodded: "That Lian Zining is full of conspiracies and tricks, and he will definitely not let go of attacking the camp at night, but this commander estimates that most of them are mainly attacking, and they will definitely not dare to come in." ”

He turned to Zilharang and said, "How are you, Zilharang?" ”

As soon as he tried to speak, he coughed violently, and he covered his mouth with a white handkerchief, and when he took it down, it was already a red bloodstain.

He forced a smile to himself, and said in a hoarse voice: "General Xie cares, I'm fine." ”

As soon as the words fell, a voice came from outside the big tent: "General, there will be a military report at the end." ”

"Come in!"

A general came in and reported loudly: "General, those Ming troops shot hundreds of rockets into the camp, we have been prepared for a long time, but we have lit more than 20 tents, less firewood, grass and horses, and no injuries. ”

There was a hint of puzzlement on his face: "Then those Ming cavalry went south around the camp. ”

"Bypassed the camp and headed south?" Fortitude was also a little surprised, and he was silent.

"General, do you want to chase?" The general asked.

Gangyi thought for a moment, with a smile on his face, and said, "No need, these Ming troops must have gone to the south to ask for help!" Don't worry about them, the Liaobei general who did the slave is now estimated to be cutting pigweed in our pasture, where are there any reinforcements? Let them go, just right, reduce some enemies for us. ”

"Yes, sir!" The general took the order and departed.

Amin opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it.

—————— Dividing Line——————

Just when the battle under the Xishen Acropolis was at its worst, the Northern Expeditionary Army was defeated, and the news that Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, took the lead in escaping also spread to Beijing.

It's not that Xu Pengju doesn't want to keep it a secret, in fact, when he made the decision to run away first, he made up his mind to hide this secret. So he took the lead in escaping, just because he was afraid that others would rush in front of him and pass the news in, so he didn't even stop after the Songhua River, and went south directly past Xishenwei.

But people are not as good as heaven, and the news of the defeat north of the Songhua River soon spread throughout the Northeast.

On July 20, the Ming army was defeated on the Songhua River, and the Ming Dynasty's extremely developed post road system made it difficult to keep the local news secret, and on July 25, the prefect of the same year as Dai Zhangpu had already received the news. When the military and political officials of the entire Nuergan Governorate and the Liaodong Governorate were still shocked by this defeat, the prefect who had been humiliated by Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, had already quietly written a secret letter and sent it to Beijing with an expedited 800 li.

Quang Ninh Right Tun Wei is not far from the Beijing Division.

On the evening of July 26, the news had already been received in the Forbidden City.

With a bang, the Venus rosewood big book case in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace fell to the ground, and the eunuchs and palace maids around them who bowed their heads and stood suddenly fell to the ground, trembling.

Several ministers standing next to them also trembled in their hearts, and their faces were difficult to see.

Emperor Zhengde, who had just knocked down his bookcase, stood there in a daze, he was really young with the effort just now, his face was flushed, his nose was panting, his eyes were bloodshot, and his gray beard was constantly trembling.

Defeated? Actually defeated?

Ten years of life and reunion, ten years of lessons, the first big war after 20 years of recuperation, this one pinned on his countless hopes, full of thought that it could represent the re-rise of the Ming Dynasty, these four years of these evil neighbors re-feared and fearful of the war, actually lost?

The 200,000 army was defeated in the Songhua River! And a large part of the reason for the defeat was because of the handsome man he personally selected, Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei!

As the commander of the first army, he dared to take the lead in escaping, so that the situation could no longer be cleaned up.

Emperor Zhengde only felt that he had been slapped in the face, and it was hot and painful.

The second assistant of the cabinet, Xie Tingshi, Lord Xie, teased his eyelids, secretly glanced at the emperor, and then quickly lowered his head, his face was sad.

A few days ago, Lord Yang Shen, the first assistant of the cabinet, said that he was sick, and the emperor personally went to visit the palace and specially granted a 10-day sick leave to let him have a good life at home. Xie Tingshi is the position of the temporary cabinet chief assistant, Xie Tingshi has five in sixty this year, and he is the first name of Wushenko in the sixteenth year of Zhengde, which is commonly known as the champion Lang.

In the end, everyone who can win the top prize is the top talent, and the future is naturally not a problem.

Xie Ting's style is naturally the same, he was a high school champion before he was established, although he is not as good as those supernatural geniuses in history, but he is also an extremely amazing and brilliant character, and his career should have been smooth sailing. But this Lord Xie is a little unlucky, in the twenty-ninth year of Zhengde, the 300,000 army was defeated under Daning City, and he unfortunately participated in it.

At that time, his position was to supervise the army of Wenchen, and the army was defeated, and he couldn't get out of it, but because of the reason of Wenchen, coupled with the help of the teachers of the same year, he finally got a life, but it was not much better than death, and he was demoted to the most remote county of Lin'an Mansion, the political envoy of Yunnan, which is now Sun Yanzhi's territory.
