"Oh? Siege so soon? Ita Yeyue roared and was about to stand up leisurely, but the cold wind blew into his neck, he wrapped his leather robe and bowed down, "How is the battle?" How many casualties did the Ming army have? ”

"Ezhen, I didn't see the casualties of the Ming army - maybe it was too dark outside the city, but our soldiers guarding the city had more than thirty casualties."

"What? In such a moment, more than 30 people were killed and wounded? Ban Yeyue roared and lost all his leisure, he wrapped his leather robe tightly, and his eyes widened, "The Ming army really has no casualties?" What the hell is going on? ”

"There may be casualties ......"

Ban Yeyue originally wanted to go to the West City Gate to see how his soldiers were injured, but the Ming army's offensive was too fierce, and if it was delayed, the casualties would increase, so he punched the air: "Go, break through from the North City Gate." ”

The three Jurchen soldiers of Niu Lu were all concentrated at the North City Gate, since they gave up Jinzhou, Ban Yeyue roared to take away all the soldiers, the city was lost, and it could be recaptured, and the soldiers were killed and wounded, and they could never come back.

The north gate was slammed open, and the Jurchen cavalry rushed out of the gate hole.

To Ban Yeyue's surprise, thousands of Ming troops, about two hundred paces outside the city gate, were lining up to welcome him out of the city.

"What is Ming Jun doing here? Could it be that they, the tofu infantry, also want to stop the iron cavalry of our Jurchens? ”

No one answered him, except his own sneer.

Although there are thousands of Ming troops, Ban Yeyue didn't pay attention to it, even if he can't beat it, he can take advantage of the speed advantage of the cavalry and flee to the north, and now he wants to retreat, not only was he ridiculed by his subordinates, but also there were a large number of Ming troops in other city gates.

"Speed up, rush over, and trample these ant Ming army to death."

The Jurchen cavalry, which had already left the city, began to accelerate, but the city gate was too small, and most of the cavalry did not leave the city, and the cavalry team was very long.

From the death line of two hundred paces to one hundred paces, the horses did not raise their speed at all, and the cavalry was only halfway to the sound of a fart.

"Bang."

"Bang."

"Bang."

……

More than 1,300 gunmen in the first platoon shot all the bullets in the first # shot.

More than 200 Jurchen soldiers suddenly fell from their horses while running.

Itabazuki was not among the more than two hundred soldiers, he was in the middle of the ranks.

Ban Yeyue only heard a rapid gunshot, and the running soldier fell off his horse, and he immediately reacted: the fire # gun of the Ming army.

"Put down the scimitar and shoot the arrow."

Ban Yeyue was also ready to attack the Ming army in front of him with a long-distance attack, he turned his horse's head and left the attacking cavalry queue from the side.

The Jurchen soldiers put away their scimitars and inserted them into the scabbards at their waists, and they all took their bows and arrows from their backs and aimed at the Ming army from their galloping horses.

But the Ming army did not give them a chance to fire, the range of the flintlock pistol was much greater than that of the bow and arrow, and at a hundred paces, the second and third rows of gunners of the Ming army began to shoot.

The Ming army completed a wave of shooting, 4,000 rounds of ammunition, and had already knocked down more than 500 Jurchen soldiers.

The light from the torch was faint, but Ban Yeyue could still see that his soldiers kept falling from their horses, and the Jurchen soldiers struggled to shoot the arrows in their hands into the black shadow, but Ban Yeyue couldn't see the casualties of the Ming army.

The Jurchen soldiers had all left the north city gate, and hundreds of soldiers were crowded on the side of Ban Yeyue, who couldn't care about the casualties of the Ming army, and he shouted loudly: "Warriors, rush, break down the defense line of the Ming army, and trample on these Ming troops who don't know whether they are alive or dead." ”

The Jurchen riders were all very good soldiers, their discipline was very good, and with the encouragement of Ban Yeyue, they stepped on the Ming army's defense line one by one.

The flintlock pistol completed another wave of shooting, and the cavalry was no longer visible on the horseback, and even Ita Yeyue roared away, and he didn't know when, he also fell from his horse.

The sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground abruptly disappeared, only the wounded soldiers groaned in the dark, and Li Changshan's eyes fell on the north gate of the black hole, but there was no movement at the north gate.

"Light the torches and clean up the wounded!"

The Ming army has formed a routine, and the wounded soldiers are all made up with a fatal knife, killing people!

These wounded soldiers, for the time being, can not become the labor force of the Ming Dynasty, but also consume food and medicine, the Ming army is on the Northern Expedition, there is no time to take care of them, one knife killed, one hundred.

A large number of torches were lit, illuminating the north gate brighter than the full moon, and the ground was littered with corpses and tumbling wounded soldiers.

The soldiers of the 1st Marine Division, regardless of whether the wounded soldiers were dead or not, all the Jurchen soldiers were mended.

The Jurchen soldiers were less than nine hundred, and the Ming army mended their knives on them, that is, the time to cough.

Li Changshan saw that the north city gate was wide open, and it was estimated that there were not many Jiannu cavalry left, "Go, enter the city, everyone be careful, to prevent Jiannu soldiers from firing cold arrows in the dark." ”

Four thousand Ming troops, armed with flintlock pistols, entered the city from the north gate, and in the night, they held their heads high, like triumphant warriors.

The three Niu Lu of the Jurchens in the city were all shot by them, and they were eligible to enjoy the welcome, but the Han people in the city were huddled in their houses at the moment, and they didn't even dare to open the door, let alone welcome them.

At the time of the fourth watch, all the four city gates were opened, and the entire First Marine Division entered the city, but no matter how they searched, they could not find the soldiers of Jiannu.

After dawn, the Ming army gradually quieted down, dealing with civil affairs, Li Changshan handed over all the affairs to the staff officers, and he hid in the barracks, covered his head and fell asleep.

When the North Sea Fleet transported the 2nd Marine Division to Lushun, it was found that the 1st Marine Division had already left Lushun, and Zhang Zhuo, the deputy commander of the fleet, simply did not let the 2nd Division get off the ship, and he used a transport ship to transport the soldiers directly to Nanxunkou along the west coast of the Liaodong Peninsula.

From Lushun to Nanxunkou, if you take the land route, you need to bypass a huge bend, the whole journey is more than 500 miles, if you take the sea and land, the straight-line distance is less than 300 miles.

Zhang Zhuo estimated that the 2nd Division might have arrived at Nanxunkou earlier than the 1st Division.

The 3rd Division, stationed in Lushun, was not willing to fall behind in the rear, there were no soldiers in the rear, they only left a small number of soldiers, ready to receive future supplies in Lushun, and the rest of the soldiers went north by land, following the pace of the 1st Division.

By the time the 3rd Marine Division arrived in Jinzhou, the 1st Division had already finished fighting and had rested for half a day.

Li Changshan and Lin Fucheng, commander of the Third Division, agreed to leave a marine regiment of the Third Division in Jinzhou to ensure the complete establishment of the First Division.

The 1st Marine Division also captured more than 100 horses and temporarily organized them into cavalry companies.

Since the North Sea Fleet had already moved north along the west coast of the Liaodong Peninsula, Li Changshan temporarily abandoned the plan to join Mao Wenlong's troops, and the 1st and 3rd Marine Divisions rushed to join the 2nd Division along the west coast.

Jiang Kaiping's 2nd Marine Division, which took advantage of the sea transportation, had already reached Nanxunkou.

To the west of Nanxunkou, there are a series of islands such as Changsheng Island, Zhongdao and Chahe Island, which used to be an important supply base for the Dongjiang Army, but after Mao Wenlong retreated to the Yalu River, most of the Dongjiang Army here withdrew, and only a few Dongjiang Army soldiers planted grain on the nearby islands.

The number of Dongjiang troops here is too small, and they don't dare to go ashore at all, as long as the Jurchen soldiers on the shore don't wade into the water to attack them, they will burn high incense.

The Jurchen soldiers did not take the Dongjiang army here seriously, they were usually too lazy to patrol, facing the island's South and North Xunkou, basically there were no Jurchen soldiers, Jiang Kaiping relied on the guidance of the Dongjiang Army soldiers, and at the same time of landing, he attacked the South and North Xunkou, and would monitor the important places of the island and control them in his own hands.

After the 1st and 3rd Marine Divisions arrived at Beixunkou, the three division commanders met on the battlefield for the first time, and they urgently discussed countermeasures to deal with Fuzhou and Yongning.

The Marines did not have artillery and could not blow up the walls lightly, they either attacked or outwitted, and moreover, the Marines were a wonder division of the Northern Expedition and should not be exposed too early.

According to the topographic map provided by the Dongjiang Army, the three division commanders agreed: Jiang Kaiping's Third Division, under the guidance of the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, ambushed in the northeast of Fuzhou City, completely cut off the connection between Fuzhou and Yongning, and prevented the Jurchen soldiers in the city from fleeing north and leaking information about the Marine Corps;

Lin Fucheng's 3rd Marine Division, ambushed in the southeast, as a reserve;

Li Changshan's 1st Marine Division, as the main force of the attack, will change into the clothes of the Dongjiang Army and attack from the southern city gate, trying to lure the Jurchen soldiers out of the city.

In the early morning, the thin mist had not completely dissipated, and the sun had just broken free from the mist.

The Fuzhou guard general was not lost, and was tasting the hot mare's milk tea, and his subordinates reported: "Ezhen, outside the southern city, the figure of the Dongjiang Army was found." ”

"Dongjiang Army?" Yifu didn't gently put down the mare's milk tea, "I haven't seen their trace for a long time, how dare they appear outside the city?" Can't they make it through? ”

"Ezhen, the fog has cleared, and we can clearly see that there are hundreds of Dongjiang troops outside the city."

"Hundreds? So much? Could it be that Mao Wenlong's main force is coming? ”

The herald shook his head: "This...... We don't know. ”

"What about Beixunkou? Is there a message coming back? ”

"Oh really, not yet."

"Since there is no message from Beixunkou, it is not from Changsheng Island, it must be Mao Wenlong's main force." Yifu didn't stand up, picked up the mare's milk tea in front of him again, and took a big sip of it, "Order three Niu Lu, follow me out of the city, and slaughter the Dongjiang army." ”

In Fuzhou City, there are only four Niulu in total, and three Niulu will be taken away without being lost, which shows the importance of the Dongjiang Army and the determination to completely eliminate it, mainly because he thinks that it is Mao Wenlong's main force coming.

Three Niu Lu, 900 cavalry, rushed out of the city from the south gate, lost not a single horse to take the lead, outside the city to search for the main force of the Dongjiang army.

However, within the scope of the naked eye, the Dongjiang Army had already escaped without a shadow, and was so angry that they didn't scold their horses: "These Han dogs can escape faster than rabbits." ”

"Ezhen, these pieces of cloth should be on the clothes of the Dongjiang Army."

I didn't look down to see that there was indeed a small pile of scattered pieces of cloth on the grass, which should have fallen off from the ragged clothes, and the scattered pieces of cloth stretched all the way to the southwest.

"Chase, we must kill the Dongjiang army." He was not the first to shoot his horse, but still ran in front of the cavalry.

Ten miles to the southeast, the lost finally caught up with the "Dongjiang Army".

To Yi's surprise, the weapons in the hands of these Dongjiang troops were not their usual wooden sticks, hoes, brooms, shovels, and bamboo rakes, but burning sticks, and each soldier held a long stick like a burning stick in his hand, which was pressed against his chest, and the soldiers in the first row were still kneeling on the ground.

These Dongjiang troops don't look like soldiers on the battlefield at all, they seem to be praying for something.

"These Dongjiang troops must be faint from hunger, and now they are praying to their Buddha." Lost didn't think about it, but the war horse didn't slow down at all.

"Bang."

"Bang."

"Bang."

……

Without noticing, a stream of bright red blood, with his familiar fishy smell, flowed down his forehead, and he was wondering whose blood it was, the war horse behind him, had knocked him off the horse's back.
