On the south bank of the Hunhe River, the low hills in the distance slowly revealed a big flag, which was erected higher and higher. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Immediately after, one, two, more and more figures swayed on the top of the hills. The Houjin army saw this army for the first time, and thought it was reinforcements who went out to fight the grass valley, but the huge "Chen" character on the flag waving in the wind showed that this was a Ming army from afar.

The faces of Houjin's soldiers were filled with disappointment and frustration, and Huang Taiji ordered a retreat at the first opportunity, and let Anferyangu lead his men to stop the enemy on the spot.

Born with a blue flag, Anferjangu joined Nurhachi with his father when he was a teenager, and in the course of many years of conquest, he made outstanding achievements and was very respected by Nurhachi. Although An Feiyang was very old at this time, his outstanding military talent and thunderous reputation were exactly what Huang Taiji valued. Huang Taiji hoped that through Ampheyangu, he could bring hope to the demoralized blocking troops, so as to cover the large army from the battlefield.

"Houjin warriors, take up your weapons and fight with me, only cowards will die in fear."

"Fight, fight, fight...."Although there were not many people who responded, the voice grew louder and louder, resounding on the south bank.

On the top of the hill, Chen Ce, who was sixty-nine years old at the time, couldn't calm down for a long time. The last time this was done was 24 years ago during the Battle of Royangdo in North Korea. After the Korean War, most of the comrades-in-arms of the same age died and fell ill, and only he was still quietly guarding the black soil outside the Guan.

Since receiving the news of the rescue the day before yesterday, Chen Ce has been actively running. Yuan Jingluo's old and serious attitude made him quite unhappy, and in order to rescue Shenyang as soon as possible, he even had to contact officials to persuade Lord Yuan together.

Years of combat command made him feel the danger was approaching. In mid-March, the Later Jin attack on Jifengbao was tentative, and everyone, including Yuan Jinglue, saw this clearly. However, the defenders of Jibongbao were defeated so quickly that they almost fled without a fight, which boosted the morale of Houjin.

If there was still a trace of hesitation in Houjin before, then in this battle of Shenyang, Houjin is probably a confidant and confident. In such a situation, it is really unconvincing to treat Houjin as a bandit who grabs a handful and leaves.

Houjin came, the Mongols also came, and last year's winter was very difficult, and there were disasters everywhere. Bandits and homeless people who have been dormant for a winter have come out to forage for food and look for opportunities.

And Yuan's suggestion to rally the Mongols to help the Ming army defend Liaoshen was also opposed by most of the army.

Most of the officers in Liaodong were Li Chengliang's subordinates during the Wanli period, and they were familiar with the civil and military conditions outside the Guan. These seemingly docile Mongol exiles, if gathered in the city, will explode into astonishing destructive power once they are motivated. This is also an important reason why most officers are disgusted with Lord Yuan's strategy.

Zhu Wanliang and dozens of guards fled back to Liaoyang in a hurry, while the rest of the Ming army was nowhere to be found. When Lord Yuan saw Zhu Wanliang who had fled back, he realized that he had underestimated Houjin's determination to attack. Under this sudden blow, Lord Yuan turned out to be extremely conservative.

At the insistence of him and Tong Zhongkui, the chief military officer of Sichuan, Yuan reluctantly agreed to rescue Shenyang.

According to folk legends, people are nine years old, the body and mind are not smooth, and the disgusting and fighting things appear from time to time, which is a major bump in life, and it seems to be talking about the current self. Chen Ce glanced down at the Houjin troops that were gathering under the plain and sighed slightly.

Tong Zhonghua walked over and said, "Lord Chen, Jiannu is already preparing in line, our formation has been prepared, now attack?" ”

"Okay, give me the order, forward!"

The war drums sounded, and the Ming army maintained its formation and slowly advanced forward. It was easy to descend from the low hills, and the Houjin army did not dare to go against the trend, and the team soon entered the river valley plain.

The Ming army's military formation stopped, the Huzun cannon was neatly arranged in front of the formation, the two wings were guarded by vans, the center was a long-range attack force composed of firearms and crossbowmen, and the front was a dense white pole soldier.

As a long trumpet sounded, a deep voice shouted: "Kill ........." Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of Ming soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill, kill, kill." "The sound shook all directions, and all directions were solemn.

Hearing the roar of the Ming army, Anfeiyangu sighed secretly, I'm afraid it will be more difficult today. Amferangu was slightly lost, but soon regained his composure. He has lived long enough, his sons have their own belongings, and it is time for him to repay the great Khan's kindness.

Anfeiyangu looked straight ahead, raised his hand with a solemn expression, and the starting flag in his hand fell suddenly in the wind.

The front line of 2,000 cavalry shot like arrows. War horses gallop, earthquakes tremble, and flags waving in the wind.

The first to charge were the red pacesetters with spears in their hands and heavy armor, followed by the horned bow riders. Everyone knew that the army had fled, and they might not return, but they still charged the Ming army, trying to stop the advance of this Ming army.

Huang Taiji climbed the hill in the distance, looked back at the army behind him, was silent, and slapped his horse away.

The White Pole Soldiers, the army that had set out from Sichuan, traveled through most of China, and came to Liaodong, stood in front of the army with guns in hand, calmly waiting for their enemy to arrive.

The Huzun cannon opened fire first, followed by a dense wave of crossbow arrows from the Ming army, which was accompanied by muskets.

Many Houjin cavalry planted their horses in an instant, mixed with the crisp sound of their necks being twisted.

Immediately afterwards, the huge flow of people slammed into each other, and the sound of gunfire, the neighing of horses, the screams of the crowd, and the cries of dying were intertwined with the strong smell of blood, forming a picture of life and death.

The ash javelin stabbed head-on, and the Houjin cavalry was either stabbed and dropped from the horse, dragged by the hook, or dodged, while another ash pole gun came at the side. After falling from the horse, the Jin soldiers were stabbed on the ground by the white pole soldiers of the triangular oblique wing, and in such a simple and repeated stabbing, hooking, and tearing, the Houjin cavalry could not swing the knife closely.

The Houjin cavalry was unwilling to fail, and repeated repeated impacts, but could not tear open an offensive opening, which made the Houjin cavalry feel extremely discouraged. Coupled with the incessant diffuse of firearms and crossbow arrows in the Ming army's formation, the Houjin offensive came to a stalemate for a while.

Houjin charged several times in a row and lost quite a few cavalry, which made Anferyangu feel strange. His instincts told him that this was a Ming army that he had never seen before, and that there was a certain restraint in cavalry.

Although the infantry of the 1,000 Houjin successfully entered the preset position, they were soon entangled by another Ming army, and the infantry and cavalry of the Houjin could not cooperate to fight.

There is still a reserve force around Anfyangu, but he does not intend to go into battle now. Anfeiyangu couldn't figure out the strangeness of the Ming army on the other side, so he had to stand still and wait for the situation on the battlefield to change before making a judgment.

But it didn't take long for Ampheangu to regret it, and the cavalry attack not only did not tear apart the opponent's formation, but instead killed and wounded many in the back and forth charge.

The infantry was already retreating, and before they could escape, they were bitten by the Ming army. These Houjin's infantry consisted mainly of auxiliaries, and Anferyangu didn't care about their life or death, but those cavalry, he couldn't care less.

When the time was almost up, Anferyangu decisively ordered Mingjin to start retreating according to the preset route before. The Ming army was mainly composed of infantry and could not effectively annihilate the cavalry, which was a blessing in misfortune for the Later Jin army at this time.

"The Tartars are defeated! The Tartars are defeated! "Someone in the Ming army was shouting.

When the fighting Ming army heard this, their morale suddenly rose. Chen Ce decisively seized the opportunity, and the Ming army began to turn into pursuit.

You Shigong and Zhang Shi led the main force of the Ming army to cross the river, intending to besiege Jiannu with the guest army. But the Houjin army attacked too fast, and when the Ming army in Shenyang crossed the river before the end, the Houjin army had already turned into retreat, and the angry You Shigong scolded the Tartar for running faster than a rabbit.

At this time, Shen Jia on the north bank did not cross the river, and he was very confident in the last two Ming army field forces at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

In the original history, this was the last battle of the Ming army from Liaoyang. The core of the 20,000 Ming army was the 3,000 Sichuan army led by Qin Bangping and the 3,000 Qi family army led by Qi Jin, who were besieged by the 50,000 Houjin army. At that time, the city of Shenyang had been captured by the Houjin, and the Houjin commanded the artillery on the city wall to enter the white-pole army, resulting in many casualties. The final result, including the main general Chen Ce, the general Tong Zhonghua, the white pole soldier Qin Bangping brothers, the commander of the Qi army Qi Jin and generals at all levels, almost all died in battle, which can be described as the most heroic battle in Liaodong at the end of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, Zhu Wanliang, who had already arrived, retreated ten miles away, standing still, and watching the Ming army on the left side perish.

But today, most of the Houjin army has withdrawn, and it is not difficult for the Ming army to deal with them. Shen Jia watched the whole battle quietly, and sighed in admiration, the white pole soldiers and the Qi family army really lived up to their reputation.

The Battle of Shenyang in March of the first year of the Apocalypse was different from the original history, and this time it ended with the defeat of Houjin.

The guest army in Liaoyang and the defenders in Shenyang City won a great victory to commemorate the soul of the Ming army who died in a foreign land in the defeat of the Salhu army two years ago. The fleeing Houjin soldiers escorted the unconscious Nurhachi, silent all the way, and rushed to Fushun.

*********

The siege of the city for several days made everyone in the city fearful, and on the evening of March 21, this hanging heart finally landed. The Ming army spies reported that Houjin had retreated to the direction of Fushun. Chen Fuke announced that martial law in Shenyang will be lifted tomorrow.

That night, the prefect's yamen, several general soldiers of the Ming army, generals, garrisons, and civil officials in the city celebrated this great victory together. Chen Ce and Tong Zhonghua personally ordered the general and asked Shen Jia to attend.

Shen Jia had already taken off his wide PLA uniform and changed into a green shirt, just because of his short hair and no headscarf, he looked nondescript. Wen Qing shouted that she was going to come with her, but Wei Liangyu, the brocade guard, reminded her that the banquet was all men, so Wen Qing gave up.

As soon as Shen Jia entered the door, he was greeted by He Shigong and introduced to everyone.

The first to be introduced was the chief military officer Chen Ce, a spirited and kind old man, who touched Shen Jia's head and said: "Sure enough, he is an overseas master, with different customs, and he can fight side by side with the giant chicken and iron car of the master, which is enough to comfort the old man in this life." ”

"Mr. Chen saw that he was about to be seventy, and he stood side by side with my juniors, this is our honor, congratulations to Mr. Chen." The short and chubby one was Tong Zhonghua, whose mouth was like a bell, and his voice was clear, and he handed Shen Jia a bowl of rice wine with a smile.

In the past life, in the army celebrated, there was also drinking. Seeing that it was rice wine today, Shen Jia was not polite, and took a big bowl and did it with everyone. Seeing that Shen Jia was drinking happily, the rough men shouted for another bowl, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became hot.

I saw Qi Jin and Qin Bangping brothers and other guest generals in turn, and after a few bowls of rice wine, they were pulled onto the table by everyone.

Chen Fuke was at the main table of the banquet, and the two sides were Chen Ce, Tong Zhonghua, He Shixian, and You Shigong. Others, such as Qi Jin, the Qin Bangping brothers, Zhang Shi, and other civil officials, were further away. Shen Jia was dragged by He Shixian's shoulders to his table, Shen Jia knew that this was He Shixian's expression of closeness, and sat down with a smile.

A bunch of rough men chatted while eating, bragging to each other about how many people they had killed. Shen Jia was really hungry, and he poured wine just now, so he had to press it. So he sat alone next to He Shixian, holding chicken legs and nibbling on them. The room is full of rough men, and they don't look good, even if a few literati are dissatisfied, they can only laugh and scold, after all, the rough men are the protagonists tonight.

The prefect also invited some dancers to dance, with soft bodies and tight clothes, which completely set off the round buttocks. In the fierce and exuberant drumming, the dancers twisted their waists and shook their long sleeves angrily, sometimes erecting their long legs and breasts. A group of rough men were happy and itchy to watch, and even Shen Jia couldn't help but look at the dancer's buttocks twice. Sure enough, it was very coquettish and had no charm, Shen Jia scolded secretly.

When the dancers finished their performances, everyone applauded. He Shigong suddenly said: "Everyone is happy today, we are all rough people, we can't do poetry, it is better for each of us to tell a joke to make everyone happy." ”

He Shixian's proposal was quickly approved by Chen Fuzhi and Chen Ce, and Chen Ce said that he would say one first.

Chen Ce straightened his voice and said, "Then I'll use today's banquet as the title to tell a story." It is said that in ancient times, a person should be invited to a banquet, and when the host poured wine, he only poured half a glass of wine each time. Then the man said to his master, 'If there is a saw in the house, lend me a saw?' When the master asked him what he meant, he said hatefully, 'Since half of this glass cannot hold wine, it should be sawn off and kept useless.' Chen Ce said it vividly, and deliberately imitated the conversation between the two, which caused everyone to laugh.

He Shixian took the lead and began to say: "A man was traveling on a boat, his hand was placed outside the window, and it happened that the two boats met and his hand was pinched. Go home and tell the lady, the lady was scared after hearing this, and said: "In the future, when you meet on a boat, remember not to underestimate." ”

After that, He Shixian looked at everyone with a straight face. Everyone was slightly stunned at first, and then suddenly burst into laughter. Chen Fuke pointed at He Shixian and scolded with a smile: "You guy, you must be missing the concubine at home, let's go, you will be allowed to go back to the house tomorrow to recuperate." ”

When everyone heard the prefect's words, there was another burst of laughter.

Tong Zhonghua pointed to Shen Jia, who was eating with a mouth full of oil next to He Shixian, and said to everyone: "This kid is our great hero today, but he patronizes and eats by himself, and he is not afraid of changing the eight precepts, no, Brother Shen, you have to talk about one." ”

Shen Jia raised his head in the laughter of everyone, thinking that I am really a dog, and I can't be at peace when I eat, so he smiled and said, "Boss, the second chariot, the second one is sick and keeps vomiting." A bag next to it was already full, and the boss had to go to get it again. After coming back, the boss saw that everyone in the car was vomiting, and the boss asked the second child why. The second child said, 'I saw that the bag was full of vomit, so I had to drink half a bag, and they all vomited.' ”

The civil and military attachés had already drunk a lot, slightly drunk, and some were still immersed in the previous joke, laughing with their neighbors. At this moment, an extremely disgusting joke was suddenly heard, and several of them felt as if something was spilling out of their throats. said that it was too late, and he didn't care about face, so he covered his mouth and rushed out, spitting at the flowers outside the house.

The other people in the room were funny and disgusting, and when they saw the dead and alive people vomiting outside the house, they couldn't care about the discomfort just now, and laughed out loud.

You Shigong vomited in front of the whole army today, and was seen through by the Ming army behind, at this time he heard this joke, stood up with a red face, covered his stomach and laughed.

He Shixian slapped Shen Jia's shoulder with his big hand and said, "You kid has a lot of ghosts, and telling a joke will make us feel bad, with you, stinky boy." ”

"You kid is so disgusting, next time I say this kind of joke, I have to wake up, if I don't have a good concentration, I'm going to vomit today, come on, come on, punish three glasses of wine." Prefect Chen Fuke walked over with a smile and handed the wine to Shen Jia.

Everyone came back to their senses at this time, and toasted Shen Jia like the prefect, but Shen Jia did not refuse, but he drank in a dazed manner and was carried back to the post house.

Chen Ce looked at Shen Jia, who was carried away, and said to Chen Fuke: "He is an open-minded person. ”
