Chapter Seventy-Four: The Fall of Taiping Fort
Li Xing and Li Qingqing did not dare to delay, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Runan was worried about the safety of his uncle, so as soon as the two of them had news, they immediately sent someone to inform them.
Ziren was worried about the safety of Shen Yourong, Wang Ren and others, so he naturally couldn't sit still. Although his official position was low, under the pretext that he had just returned from Guangning City to familiarize himself with the enemy's situation, he rushed with the two generals despite his injuries.
Along the way, Ziren couldn't help but muttering in his heart. This Guangning City is strong and has enough food, and Li Chengliang and Gu Yangqian are stationed, and Shen Yourong, Yang Shaoxun, Zu Dashou, Sun Shoulian, Li Pinghu and others are all famous generals for a long time.
There were already 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the city, and after Gu Yangqian led the reinforcements to station, nearly 10,000 battalions were added to the city, including no less than 5,000 Li family iron cavalry. Ziren has seen the benefits and disadvantages of Sun Shoulian's men, and this Liaodong iron cavalry is brave and good at fighting, and it is by no means a waste of fame.
After a battle in the Yanggu River, Monnu lost no less than a thousand people, and now they think that they are sleepy and lacking horses. It is understandable to say that taking advantage of the unpreparedness of our army to steal one or two forts and piers. But if Li Chengliang can send someone for help, there must be something strange in it.
The three of them hurried to the camp and found that Hao Jie and the generals left behind in the city had gathered here, and Ziren hurriedly followed Li Xing and Li Qingqing into the camp together.
After standing aside and listening, Ziren probably heard the cause and effect of this incident. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "Ning Yuanbo and Li Chengliang are now in the twilight, and they are no longer as brave as they used to be. ”
Li Chengliang and Gu Yangqian, after the battle of Yangguhe broke the allied forces of Tuman, Fried Flower, and Black Stone, the Mengnu army retreated to the Liaohetao area to rest.
The two people who had previously divided their troops to attack and harass the Jinzhou area, Dong Fox and Changang of the Duoyan Department, did not obey the orders of the Mongolian Great Khan and led the troops to the Yangjiao River to help in the battle.
Instead, he retreated without a fight, led more than 15,000 troops, and returned to the upper reaches of the Daling River to watch. In the past few days, taking advantage of the Ming army's great victory, the defense was slack, and the troops actually raised troops to besiege Taipingbao (now northwest of Yizhou County), which was subordinate to Yizhou Wei.
In the first battle of the Yanggu River, Li Chengliang's department won more than 500 first-level battles, which was a great achievement. The general of Taiping Fort, Zhu Yongshou, is not Li Chengliang's subordinate.
Li Chengliang used the excuse that the soldiers were tired and needed to rest and recuperate, and after delaying the two of them, he claimed that he would send troops to reinforce at this time, and he was afraid that most of the Mongol slaves would take advantage of it, so he was reluctant to send troops. Worried that someone in the DPRK would blame him, he pretended to send someone to Liaoyang to ask for help.
Although Gu Yangqian and Yang Hao had the intention to go out of the city to face the battle, Li Chengliang and his subordinates had already lost their fighting intentions. Yang Shaoxun and Shen Yourong have just gone through a bloody battle, and the number of soldiers who can fight is less than 800, and they are weak.
Even if you add Gu and Yang's families, at most more than 1,000 people will be gathered, and they will still be outnumbered. It is not necessary to order someone to bring a letter, so that Hao Jie can send troops to help if he has spare strength, but remember to defend the city first, and do not force it.
At this time, the generals in Liaoyang City, who had been guarding Liaodong with Li Chengliang for many years, naturally saw the doorway. They all used the excuse that there were few soldiers in the city and persuaded Hao Jie not to send troops.
Ziren stood on the side for a long time, and saw the sound of avoiding the battle in the camp. I was quite angry in my heart, and I didn't care about my humble official position, so I walked forward quickly and said loudly:
"Ding Shouming, the general manager of the firearms battalion, has the courage to ask for battle in front of Lord Hao and the generals, and I hope that all the officials will be successful."
Hao Jie has always known soldiers, and knows that the defenders in Liaoyang City are only more than 10,000 people, and most of them are the guards of the four guards of Dingliao. There are less than 3,000 battalions and soldiers who are really capable of fighting, and it is indeed not suitable to go into battle.
Regarding the prevarication of the generals in the city, Hao Jie also expected it. Suddenly, I heard that a small Bai Zong, who dared to come forward to ask for battle, was surprised and happy in my heart. After thinking for a while, he said with a questioning face:
"The two battalions of the firearms battalion and the pacesetter battalion were sent to Guangning City by Lord Gu to rescue more than half a month ago, why are you still in the city?"
"Back to the adult's words, the villain went to Quang Ninh City with the firearms battalion to rescue, and was in the camp during the bloody battle of the Yanggu River. It was only because of a disagreement with Tong Yangzhen, the guard of Guangning City, that he was sent back to Liaoyang City by Shen Yourong and Lord Shen.
A few days ago, this lewd monk was seriously injured when he was captured with Li Runan, Li Xing and several other adults, so he delayed and stayed in the city for a few more days. Ziren replied respectfully.
Hao Jie then remembered that Li Runan had indeed mentioned this person in court that day. Seeing that Ziren had a rising sun on his face, there was a sharp contrast with the twilight of the generals of the Li family in the camp. Immediately had a good image of this Ziren, and then asked:
"How many men do you have? What are the chances of winning this trip? ”
Ziren didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly replied:
"Soon after the first arrival in Liaodong, his subordinates passed through the Yanggu River and suffered many casualties, and now there are only six family members, and more than 50 newly recruited soldiers, which can be sent by adults. If you want to say that this is the odds, although you are not sure of breaking the enemy, you have the determination to live and die with the city. ”
After listening to Ziren, the generals in the camp couldn't help laughing and said: "What a hairy boy who doesn't know whether to live or die, dare to ask Ying to fight with this little bit of soldiers and horses, and see how you die then." ”
Hao Jie also felt that Ziren's courage was commendable, but this little bit of soldiers and horses really didn't play a big role. Unwilling to hit Ziren's enthusiasm, under the pretext that this matter needs to be discussed in the long run, let everyone step back first, and make a decision tomorrow.
After Ziren withdrew from the camp, he was still unwilling to give up, and went to find Li Xing and Li Qingqing overnight, thinking of encouraging the two to send troops together, but the two generals kept avoiding it.
It was when Ziren was busy with the matter of sending troops. I don't know that the battle of Taiping Fort has already been decided.
The strength of Taiping Fort was empty, and there were only 363 officers and soldiers together with the eighteen piers under it. Besieged by the Mongols for many days, the arrows and bullets were exhausted, and more than half of the soldiers in the city were killed and wounded, and unfortunately they were broken by the Monnu tonight.
Since the total Zhu Yongshou and the following army were wiped out, the population, grain and grass, and livestock in the fort were plundered ninety percent, and the corpses in the fort were scattered all over the field for a while.
(According to the history books, in March of the seventeenth year of Wanli (1589), Mengnu invaded Yizhou and Taiping Fort, and wiped out the entire army such as Zhu Yongshou)
Seeing that no one in the city was willing to fight together, Ziren was powerless to return to heaven. This busy waist and back began to feel discomfort again. I had to return to the Li family's compound and drank sullen wine alone in my room.
Who would have thought that this Li Ruliu didn't know where to learn the news that Ziren couldn't fight today. In the dead of night, he actually brought the wolf dog Xiaozhuang to find Ziren's trouble.
Seeing Ziren's depressed face, his heart was happy, and he said sarcastically:
"Ding Daguan, who can be civil and martial~~ Aren't you claiming to defend the rivers and mountains of Huaxia? Why are you drinking here alone? ”
Ziren was depressed in his heart, and he was so excited by Li Ruliu. With the strength of the wine, he went directly to her, and shouted:
"You minx! Young Master Ben has repeatedly tolerated you, and you really don't want to repent. Today I will show you the benefits and disadvantages of this great official of Simon! ”
