Chapter Seventy-Five

In the early morning of May 4, reinforcements suddenly arrived from the direction of Tieling. The torches dotted www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion flew for several miles, and You Shigong estimated that the other side's reinforcements were about 15,000 people. Soon the Tartar camp was full of people and fell into a bustle.

Just when the generals of the Ming army in Fushun City were in doubt, at about ten o'clock in the morning, they suddenly received a message from the flying pigeon in the direction of Shenyang, saying that Zhu Wanliang's army had defeated Tieling.

It turned out that Chen Ce originally planned that Tong Zhonghua, the general soldier of Sichuan, would take the opportunity to attack or contain Tieling, but after he submitted the plan to Yuan Yingtai, Yuan Yingtai felt that the plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao was very feasible, so he quickly approved the action.

But just as it was being executed, Yuan Yingtai suddenly and forcefully proposed that Zhu Wanliang, the "escaped general", be the commander of the attack on Tieling. Everyone understands Yuan Yingtai's thoughts, and at the critical moment, no one can raise objections.

Yuan Yingtai thought that if the Tartars returned to the division to rescue, Zhu Wanliang would retreat to Shenyang to defend them, and if the Tartars did not retreat, Zhu Wanliang would see the opportunity to act. Zhu Wanliang, with the support of Yuan Yingtai, successfully squeezed out the position of Tong Zhonghua as coach. Tong Zhonghua was forced to sit in Shenyang, while Zhu Wanliang led 20,000 troops to attack in the direction of Tieling.

Because the Tartars of Tieling City poured out of their nests and concentrated in Fushun, Zhu Wanliang went all the way on the march. However, on the evening of May 4, Zhu Wanliang's army marched to the vicinity of the waist fort 20 miles away from Tieling, and was attacked by the sudden arrival of Tartar cavalry. Like the battle of Jifengbao, Zhu Wanliang suddenly took the lead in retreating when the Ming army fell into a stalemate, so the Ming army once again staged a shocking escape, retreating for dozens of miles, and the army was defeated.

Yuan Yingtai's purpose was to ensure that Fushun was not lost, and then he would consider attacking Tieling, but he did not take into account Zhu Wanliang's variable. After last night's battle, the mobile forces in the Shenyang direction were completely lost, and they were no longer able to support Fushun.

In the command post, the generals of the Ming army looked at each other, but at this time, the big mistake had been made, and there was no point in regretting it. Yesterday, in order to cover up their lack of troops, the Tartars used the Rangers to blockade the surroundings of Fushun while creating the illusion of a four-gate attack. At that time, everyone focused on the safety of Fushun, and no one thought that the cunning Tartars would actually set up a suspicious formation in order to run a long distance and defeat the Ming army in the direction of Shenyang.

After the victory of the Tartars in the direction of Tieling, they did not rest, but returned to Fushun at night, which shows how strong the Tartars' confidence in the victory of the battle of Fushun was.

Shen Jia sighed, and the heart said that the Tartar had deceived everyone yesterday. Although there were many Tartar attacks yesterday, they were always not in a hurry, and it turned out that this was to attack instead of defending, deliberately paralyzing the Ming army. Tartar is so calculating.

There was no feint on the part of the Tartars today, and the stragglers wandering outside the city were in stark contrast to yesterday's fiery attack. Most of the Ming troops or civilians in the city, who did not know the truth, were excited about this, and they believed that the Tartar offensive had reached the end.

But He Shixian was deeply worried about this, and his intuition told him that it was because the Tartars were running for a long time and the people were sleepy, and they needed to rest today, and the Tartars would definitely not stop there. The generals discussed it at the command post for a while, but they didn't have much thought about it, so they had to return to their respective positions first, and decided to wait and see what happened.

In the midst of everyone's confusion and complaints, He Shixian ordered the sandalwood rolling stones in the city to be gathered near the city gate. He Shixian's behavior quickly affected the generals, Qi Jin, Zhang Shi, and You Shigong soon took action, taking advantage of the rare rest day to hurry up and prepare for war.

Shen Jia continued to carry out a new round of large-scale cleanup of spies in the city. At the same time, he also specially investigated the pedestrians who had sneakily gone out during the defense of the city in recent days. Of course, this kind of investigation by Jin Yiwei was extremely impactful, and there was a lot of noise in the city for a while. originally thought that Fushun Tongzhi Xiao Ji would object, but he was surprisingly calm, and even sent someone over to ask if he wanted to help with the screening. Shen Jia was very satisfied with Xiao Ji's attitude in battle, and hurriedly handed over this kind of civil investigation and investigation work to Xiao Ji by taking the opportunity.

The hectic and tense atmosphere in the city began to spread, and the hopeful people slowly smelled the danger that was coming. The city's businesses have completely closed all their shops, and there are no pedestrians in sight on the streets, except for the occasional patrolling militia.

This tense atmosphere continued into the evening. The Tartars outside the city still didn't react, but the worry hung over everyone's hearts like a sharp sword.

"Is this the end of the day? There is less fighting, and I always feel uncomfortable. ”

It was You Shigong who spoke, and he, like He Shixian, was the kind of person who loved to kill, and when there was no fighting, they immediately felt a little bored and boring.

"Uncle You, I don't think you will think so tomorrow, look at the posture of the Tartars, they won't be happy if they don't do it tomorrow."

You Shigong glanced at the city and said, "Are the Tartars willing to take care of my, is the cement in the doorway solidified?" Since it is sealed, seal it and do not leave any chance for the Tartars. ”

"Don't worry about this, the south gate is completely sealed, and by tomorrow, the cement will almost solidify, and it will not be easy for the Tartars to come in."

"That's good, you can rest early today, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to rest tomorrow."

Shen Jia returned to the place where he had slept a few nights ago, and soon fell into a deep sleep. The night was like paint, there was no one in sight, the wind was slightly cold, and it was blowing everywhere. Except for the city walls that are as bright as day, Fushun City has fallen asleep.

In the morning, while the Ming army was still eating, the horns of the Tartar attack sounded. You Shigong hurriedly ordered the soldiers to form a system to go to the city to guard,

Half an hour later, a large number of siege equipment and shield carts outside the east gate were pushed to the front of the formation, densely placed in turn. As always, the Tartars first sent cannon fodder troops to coerce the people into a tentative attack. Most of the cannon fodder were unarmoured, and they rushed to the city wall and were about to set up a ladder, but they were defeated by a sharp counterattack by the Ming army. The rush to escape made Daishan, who was in charge himself, extremely angry, and he ordered the rear army to shoot all those who tried to escape.

Daishan's crazy behavior frightened everyone. Manggultai applauded it, believing that it should have been done a long time ago, or the bastards would not have done their best. Looking at the companions who fell at the feet of their own people, the originally noisy Mongolian cannon fodder began to become silent, and they silently accepted the reality in front of them. So the tentative cannon fodder, under the persecution and threat of the Tartars, rushed back to the city wall

The Ming army in the city fought for several days, and had long since lost any sympathy for the attackers. Thousands of arrows shot out like flying locusts, and the attacking cannon fodder fell in an instant. The cannon fodder, who were originally trying to escape or pick up cheap ones, began to become anxious as they watched their friends and relatives slowly die. Wave after wave of crossbow shots finally turned this anxiety into a wave of hatred and anger. The enslaved Mongols and the persecuted Han people, they all shouted, their eyes bursting with hatred and anger, and they climbed up with their hands and feet.

The Ming troops on the city wall were a little puzzled, they didn't understand why the situation suddenly became like this. Soon, the Mongols, armed with weapons, climbed the city wall and engaged the Ming army defending the city. Most of the Han Chinese were farmers, and their combat effectiveness was limited, which was not enough to pose a threat to the Ming army defending the city. But the red-eyed Mongols are extremely difficult to deal with under their madness. The Mongols slashed with their swords, and even their companions were spared. The Mongols were in a state of mad dogs, which made the Ming army extremely confused, and the battle in the city was unexpectedly stalemate.

The red pacesetters of the Tartars took the opportunity to swarm up, and they were extremely cunning to block the Ming army's horse roads or gaps, dividing and surrounding the Ming army on the city wall.

He Shixian, who was near the gate, was shocked, and he shouted loudly: "The Tartars are coming up, they all raise their spirits, and then pretend that everyone will die without a place to be buried!" ”

He Shixian ordered the Ming army on standby to reinforce the city wall. However, the space on the city wall was limited, and it was difficult to deploy reinforcements from the Ming army. In the end, instead of the Tartars, they bloomed everywhere and swarmed.

The sound of killing at the east gate shook the sky, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the city wall was completely plunged into a melee.

Some of the Ming troops who were far away from the horse road could not receive effective support, and soon fell into a completely chaotic crowd. At this time, the Tartars who climbed up were all wearing armor and shields on their heads, and they began to attack the Ming army in formation. The scattered Ming army did not have time to organize, and many died in front of the Tartar after a bloody battle.

It had only been less than an hour since the battle began, and the Ming army in the city was in extreme danger, which made He Shixian extremely angry. He Shixian grabbed Niu Kun and shouted: "You take my family over, if you can't clean up those bastards, you don't come back to see Lao Tzu." ”

After speaking, He Shixian pointed to the box on the ground. Niu Kun was the first to master grenade throwing, and he was joined by four other people, who led dozens of He Shixian's personal soldiers to the city walls on both sides.

The Tartar sword and shield soldiers formed a back-to-back group to block the Ming army on both sides of the city wall, causing the reinforcements of the Ming army on the horse road to block up. Niu Kun walked up quickly with a knife in his hand, pulled out a grenade and threw it at the Tartar crowd.

"Backwards, backwards, get out of the way, it's going to explode!"

Hearing an explosion, the Ming army hurriedly took a few steps back, and a violent explosion came, and the dense Tartar formation was blown over by a wave of air. This is a grenade in Shen Jia's cabin, and it is very powerful. Originally, He Shixian planned to use it in the most dangerous time, but he didn't expect to use it just after the war.

The explosion completely tore through the Tartar formation. Many of the Tartars were covered with flesh and blood, and they wept and tried to look back behind them. The Ming army took the opportunity to rush forward and strangle all the Tartars who tried to resist.

The Ming army left a group of men to defend the battlements, while others continued to follow Niu Kun to sweep the Tartars in front.

When Niu Kun fought his way to the farthest point from the horse road, he saw the last Ming soldier holding a spear and fighting with dozens of Tartars. Niu Kun quickly ran up to the rescue, and suddenly another Tartar climbed up on the city wall, and the Tartar shot with a bow, and the Ming army in the fierce battle actually dodged sideways.

Niu Kun hurriedly threw a grenade, and then a violent explosion sounded behind the Tartar, only to see a large number of Ming soldiers jumping out from behind, shouting to kill the Tartar. The Tartars suffered heavy casualties, and they had no intention of retreating, but fought against the surging Ming army.

"This is the red pacesetter of the Tartars, chop up all these miscellaneous pieces for me, don't let them escape!"

"Don't let them escape!"

He Shixian's decisiveness finally saved the precarious situation at the East Gate, and with the arrival of reinforcements from the Ming army, the initiative in the battle gradually fell into the hands of the Ming army. The remaining Tartars on the city walls were all wiped out, and under the command of the centurions of each section of the city walls, various points began to launch an organized counterattack against the city. Under the advantages of one another, the attack of the Tartars showed a decline.

After the Ming army re-stabilized their defensive line, the casualties were alleviated, and they began to fire crossbows and crossbows at the dense crowd below the city. Today's wind is strong and the direction of the wind is uncertain, and throwing Molotov cocktails and asphalt under the city works well. The Ming army did not have time to prepare wet towels, they endured nausea and chest tightness, threw a large amount of burning material into the wave-like crowd, and forcibly divided the attacking crowd into two groups.

Soon, a large number of rolling stones fell, mercilessly crushing the attacking crowd.

There are so many rolling stones falling from the sky that you might be slapped in the face just by looking up and climbing. Finally, the remnants of the Tartars at the base of the city began to flee in twos and threes. The hope of survival made the demoralized cannon fodder crazy and unreasonable, and they turned backwards and ran away regardless of life and death. The mass flight of the crowd gradually turned into a complete defeat, and the Tartar offensive was completely eliminated in the crowd.

Dai Shan watched this scene in amazement, he wanted to order the soldiers to shoot and kill, but there were still a large number of Houjin warriors in the crowd. Yue Tuo on the side quickly understood Dai Shan's thoughts, and he hurriedly persuaded him: "Amma, the law does not blame the people, the Ming army has shown fatigue after this battle, and Ama does not need to be anxious." ”

Dai Shan nodded, and he glanced at Mang Gultai on the side. Mang Gurtai was silent, he naturally supported Yue Tuo's opinion, whether it was the battle of Shenyang or the battle of Fushun, Mang Gurtai's losses were relatively large, he didn't want to lose even the last warrior, then he would really become a loser at everyone's feet.
