Chapter 421: The Bloody Battle of Hunyuan Prefecture (Part II)

"Hurry back! Retreat to the inner city! ”

At that moment, no matter how uncomfortable He Chenghao was in his heart, he had to roar and give this order. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because as a general of the Zhenwei battalion, he is different from when he first followed Xiao Yi to fight, at that time, Xiao Yi was in charge of everything, they only followed Xiao Yi to kill, and He Chenghao didn't need to think about it.

But now that Xiao Yi has handed over this place to himself, that is a great trust in himself, and Xiao Yi believes that he has the ability to be alone.

He Chengho clenched his fists inadvertently, he couldn't live up to Xiao Yi's trust, and everything had to be considered for the sergeants of the Zhenwei battalion and the people in the city.

The Zhenwei battalion reacted quickly, and immediately retreated to the inner city after suffering the loss of the Houjin army's Hongyi cannons, but although the horse roads and paths in the city were very spacious, it was not possible to complete the passage of thousands of people overnight.

The cannon sound of the Houjin army always touched the nerves of the sergeants of the Zhenwei battalion, if it was an ordinary Ming army defending the city, I am afraid that it would have already begun to rout at this time, and it was not uncommon for tramples and other disturbances to occur.

Although the Zhenwei battalion was very hurried and a little messy, there was no trampling and rout, and the first and third captains of each armor were trying their best to restrain their subordinate sergeants and retreat to the inner city in an orderly manner.

Finally, when the last soldier of the Zhenwei battalion entered the inner city of Hunyuan Prefecture, and the guard sergeant closed the heavy wooden door, the outer urn city was finally overwhelmed and cracked into a turtle shape, and gravel continued to fall from the city.

"Can you shoot him all at once, if the Tartars have been attacking the city with this cannon, I'm afraid this inner city won't last a few days." After going up the city wall, He Chengho found the chief officer of the Shenwei General Cannon and asked.

Hearing this, the chief officer shook his head helplessly and said, "This divine cannon was still transported in the year of the Apocalypse, and although it has been repaired, it still can't hit the Tartars." ”

"Hey!"

He Chenghao took out his knife, slashed at the city wall angrily, brought out a spark, and said angrily: "Do you just watch the Tartars attack the city?" ”

"Now I can only hope that the big man can rush back, otherwise the people in the city are afraid that their lives are worried." The deputy commander also looked helpless, and sighed.

At this moment, a general in the city trotted back, hugged his fist at He Chenghao and said: "My lord, Li Minghao of Zhizhou brought a group of civil officials, saying that he was going to escape from the city to ask for reinforcements from the imperial court, and many squires in the city have rushed to the north gate, how to deal with it?" ”

Hearing this, He Chenghao was even more furious, and shouted: "Last time, I really shouldn't have let General Huang keep these people, but at this time, I actually wanted to abandon the city and flee!" ”

The deputy commander's expression tightened, and he said: "At this time, we must not mess up our own position, and we must not let the Tartars have a chance. ”

Nodding, He Chenghao said: "Under the military order of this official, send people to drive these fleeing gentry and merchants back to their respective mansions, and if there is resistance, they will be executed on the spot!" ”

The general from the city nodded, and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "That... What about Lord Zhizhou? ”

Seeing this, a general of the Zhenwei battalion beside him said: "If it is placed under house arrest together with Zhizhou, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the commander when it reaches the ears of the emperor, and you need to act carefully." ”

He Chenghao thought about it and felt that it made sense, nodded and said: "Since it may be unfavorable to the marshal, then don't care about those civil officials, anyway, they are straw bales in all other aspects except for their mouths, let them run around the city, see the cruelty of the battlefield, and naturally go home when they are afraid." ”

The general nodded, and immediately trotted into the city.

Seeing the general go back, He Chenghao gritted his teeth and said: "The Tartars can come to the city of our state so quickly, I am afraid that they will not be able to get rid of these gentry and civil officials, if the city is broken and I He Chenghao is killed, I will definitely kill such traitors, I would rather kill the wrong one hundred than let one go!" ”

At this moment, two loud noises came, and one hit the Wangyuan Tower at the south gate of Hunyuan Prefecture City.

Suddenly, the tall and majestic platform of Wangyuan Tower turned into gravel and sawdust, and it fell with a bang, and several soldiers of the Zhenwei Battalion were pressed down in time to dodge, so that a wail sounded, and the surrounding soldiers hurriedly went to clean up the rubble.

It didn't take long for the city to sound the earth-shattering shouts of killing, and the Mongolian army and the Han army that had been resting for half a day attacked like a tide again.

Seeing this, He Chenghao raised the red silk knife in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Brothers, after all, it is the last moment, and today this official can fight and die in the city with you, die to defend the people, and die for the Yong'an army, it should be worth it!"

"Kill!!"

Dolgon frowned at this scene under the city, the morale of the Ming army in the city at this critical moment of death actually increased instead of decreasing, and suddenly burst out with this roar, which startled the Houjin army that was attacking under the city.

Dolgon snorted coldly: "The turtle in the urn." ”

At the same time, about a few miles away from the battlefield where fierce shouts were being sold, five Houjin Sentinel riders wearing white flags and full-body armor were galloping on horseback.

In the Ming Dynasty, only Dolgon's Houjin army kept the sentry as usual, but although Dolgon attached great importance to this matter, the Houjin army who came out to spy did not think so.

Could it be that at this time, there are still tiger whiskers that the Ming army dares to touch the Jurchen iron hooves?

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the rumbling sound made the five Houjin cavalrymen frown, where did the sound of horses' hooves come from?

"Haha!"

"Jiannu, I didn't expect it, your grandfather Yong'an Army is back again!"

The cavalry of the Yong'an Army Cavalry Battalion shook the shining knives in their hands and galloped out of the dust and smoke, and the first three horsemen were Zhou Baotai, Wei Zhongwu, and Lai Damao.

The three of them took the lead in rushing into the five Houjin cavalrymen with swords, but they just crossed their horses, and the four Houjin cavalrymen, who were known for their bravery, fell off their horses one after another, and there was no breath at all, and there was a burst of cheers from the rear.

"Good! Well done! ”

"The general is mighty!"

"Oh no, this Tartar is going to escape!" Suddenly, Wei Zhongwu shouted.

Zhou Baotai looked over, pulled out a tiger spear from the back of a Tartar sentry horseman, aimed at the Jurchen cavalry with white flags galloping in front of him, and shot out the tiger spear in his hand.

In the eyes of everyone, a white light flew out of Zhou Baotai's hand, and in just an instant, the Jurchen cavalry fell off their horses, and everyone applauded.

......

That night, Dolgon set up a big tent outside the city, and the Houjin army attacked fiercely overnight, and the Zhenwei battalion and the Houjin army suffered heavy losses, shouting and killing day and night.

"Why hasn't one of the sentry riders returned?"

At this time, Dorgon was discussing with the nobles, but it was late at night, and none of the sentinels sent by the day had returned.

"I'm afraid that something is wrong, Lin Tubahan, you will personally take the Mongolian light horse to investigate the radius of several miles, just in case!"

Hearing this, one of the Mongolian generals got up, five big and three thick, wearing an authentic iron felt hat on his head, which was for the Khalkha Taiji, Lintu Bahan.

After hearing this, Lin Tubahan got up and was about to leave the tent to receive the order, but a Jurchen sentry with a white flag ran into the big tent.

"Oh no, no good, Baylor!"

The sentry in front of him with a white flag still had the demeanor of when he went out during the day, wearing tattered armor and his eyes full of fear.

Dolgon got up and said, "How did it end up like this, could it be that reinforcements from the Ming army have arrived?" ”

Hearing this, the sentry nodded again and again, and said: "Baylor, the Ming army on the east side is coming, at least tens of thousands of people!" ”

Seeing the fear in the eyes of the sentry, Dorgon knew that the number was uncountable, and most of them were exaggerated, and although he was a little surprised at the moment, he still looked calm.

asked: "What banner is it waving, but Xiao Ziqi?" ”

Hearing Dolgon's conversation, all the generals in the tent paid attention, and the sentry thought carefully for a while, shook his head, and said, "No! Under the banner of Daming! ”

Hearing this, the people in the tent breathed a sigh of relief, and even called for war to exterminate the reinforcements, this kind of encirclement and reinforcement in Liaodong they have done it skillfully, in the impression of everyone, this moment is a good time to grab the credit.

But Dolgon did not give a direct order, but asked the sentry a few words, carefully considered the information obtained, and muttered.

"Give up Hunyuan Prefecture and go straight to Datong Town!"
