When Wang Dayong led the cavalry to the west gate of Dongning Mansion, he realized that the matter was far from being as simple as he and Wang Huchen imagined. The entire west gate of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info was actually not closed, and a team of Mongolian soldiers roared and rushed towards the city gate, and the sound of fighting could be faintly heard inside the city gate.

Perhaps unintentionally, or perhaps deliberately disturbing, the houses in the West Gate seem to have been set on fire. Just now, the fire had just risen, and it was not conspicuous, but now let the wind blow, the fire burned, and the black smoke rolled into the sky.

It is absolutely impossible for this fire to be set by the Jurchens, because the city is mainly Jurchen, and many of them are the families of the Jurchen soldiers guarding the city, so naturally there is no reason to set fire to their relatives. So there is only one possibility - what the Mongols found, or what they wanted to do.

And looking at the posture of the Mongols who came out of the city with first aid, Wang Dayong had already vaguely understood.

In short, the Mongols themselves also understood that Dongning Mansion would not last long nine times out of ten, and it was precisely the Ming army that used the most traditional way of encircling three and missing one to attack, leaving the West Gate for the Mongols without an army to attack, so the Mongols wanted to pack up the gold and silver and run away, and the West Gate was naturally the best choice.

The Mongols left the Jurchens who did not know why to flee, and of course the Jurchens guarding the West Gate saw the clues. Last night, according to the spies of the Jinyi guard, the Jurchens on the west gate were actually tired, and now of course they did not want to watch the Mongols flee with the treasures they had scavenged from their own homes and those of their kindred, and it was reasonable for the two sides to clash.

After all, the Jurchens have lived a poor life all these years, and when they see these hard-earned money, there is no reason not to fight with the Mongols. In the final analysis, the Jurchens are also a fierce people, they were also glorious and developed at the beginning, and the ferocious energy inherited from their ancestors in their bloodline is still there, and watching the Mongols leave is definitely not in line with their character.

Therefore, when the Mongol guards went out of the city first, the Jurchens in the city closed the city gate and wanted to block the Mongolian convoy behind, but it was a pity that these Jurchen soldiers had been in a state of no food and clothing for a long time, and they were already exhausted.

Because the soldiers on both sides were fighting desperately, no one now had enough manpower to completely close or open the city gates.

This also led to the picture presented in front of Wang Dayong being a little weird.

"Supervisor, what shall we do?" The brigade commander who followed Wang Dayong looked at him with some surprise.

Wang Dayong took a deep breath, there were actually not many cavalry under the command of the Zhenhai Navy, only two or three thousand in total, and the more than 1,000 cavalry around Wang Dayong had already accounted for half of the cavalry of the Zhenhai Navy. If you don't figure out the real situation now, and rush forward to kill directly, firstly, it is very likely that you will not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and in the end, you will kill each other with the Jurchens, and secondly, once something happens, it will be difficult to get out, and the mobile strength of the Zhenhai Navy will be greatly damaged, especially in this Liaodong Linhai wasteland, the demand for cavalry is higher.

Wang Dayong is definitely not a timid person, and even among the "double kings" of the town navy, Wang Huchen is known for his composure and resourcefulness, while Wang Dayong is known for his bravery. But in his position, when he is in power, Wang Dayong is now the supervisor of the town navy, second only to Wang Huchen's second-in-command, he must be responsible for the entire town navy, and must also be responsible for the victory or defeat of this big war.

After a moment of silence, Wang Dayong waved his hand violently: "Send someone to inform the army of the situation here immediately, and the rest of the people will come with so-and-so!" ”

Wang Dayong took the lead and slammed the war horse, and the war horse neighed and rushed straight to the city gate. More than a dozen cavalrymen instigated their horses and left the brigade, while the rest of the cavalry followed Wang Dayong's figure one after another.

The Mongolian soldiers outside the city gate obviously also noticed this roaring Ming cavalry, and did not turn around in a hurry to kill the enemy, but desperately wanted to squeeze into the city gate. This is not to blame them, after all, there are only two or three hundred Mongolian soldiers outside the city, and in the face of thousands of Ming cavalry, they have no power to fight back, so for them, rushing into the city and relying on the protection of the city is the best choice.

The Mongol soldiers rushed desperately inward, and the Jurchens in the city naturally realized what was happening, and rushed down from the city wall with a roar, and more and more Mongols and Jurchens killed together. And a white flag has been raised at the west gate at some point, replacing the original Mongolian black flag.

"Kill!" Wang Da took the lead with a horse, rushed into the Mongolian soldiers, and the horse lance in his hand directly pierced the chest of a soldier, and with the strength of the war horse charging forward, the Mongolian soldier was also staggered forward, and hit the two soldiers in front of him one after another, causing the horse lance to directly penetrate three people. Maybe it was because he was stuck in the middle of a certain two ribs, and Wang Dayong couldn't pull it out no matter how much he twitched, so he could only throw his horse lance and jump away from the horse to one side.

The Mongolian soldiers obviously also saw this Ming army general who had lost his blade all of a sudden, and they rushed up with shouts. They knew very well that the Ming army would never show mercy to them, so at such a juncture, they all put aside all their worries and fought desperately, just hoping to be able to fight a way out, even if they were surrounded by the Ming army, they couldn't lose the face of the Mongolian steppe!

"Overseer!" Several Ming cavalrymen who were close to each other roared and rushed over.

And Wang Da raised his eyebrows, Huo Ran took out the saber hanging from the saddle, and directly faced the Mongolian soldiers.

Swords and guns collided with each other, bursting with dazzling sparks.

The surrounding Ming cavalry also roared and killed, and the horse lances continued to pierce the chests of the Mongolian soldiers. And the city gate of Dongning Mansion is already close at hand.

"Close the door, close the door!" A Mongol centurion pushed the gates of the city violently, ignoring even the Mongol soldiers outside the city. Because the Mongols had the upper hand in morale and physical strength, in fact, the Mongols in the city had already killed the Jurchens at the gate of the city just now, but because they considered that there were still people outside the city, they did not rush to close the door, but gave the Ming army and the Jurchens hope.

Realizing this serious problem, the Mongol generals in the city hurriedly ordered the closure of the gates.

Although you can't run out by closing the city gate, it's better than letting the Ming army in now!

The roars of the Jurchens were constantly heard from the city walls, mixed with the screams of the Mongols. It is conceivable that the Mongols on other city walls drove the Jurchens to come to support, but they did not expect that these Jurchens would not hesitate to fight back, resulting in more and more Jurchens defecting from the city.

The city gate gradually closed, and there were dozens of Mongol soldiers between the Ming army and the city gate. These Mongolian soldiers, who were already desperate, broke out with a stronger fighting spirit, or a will to die, and rushed up one after another, and they had the posture of dying with the Ming cavalry.

"Tribulus terrestris!" Wang Dayong didn't intend to entangle with these Mongolian Tatars, and shouted loudly.

The Ming cavalry in the front row paused their horses at the same time, and even retreated slightly, while the soldiers in the back row took out the fire thistle one after another, lit it and threw it out.

Explosions continued to sound among the Mongol soldiers, and the Ming cavalry took advantage of this opportunity to once again assault forward. Just now, a few thistles were thrown to the left side of the city gate, causing the explosion and concussion to shake a row of Mongolian soldiers in the city gate, and they forgot to close the city gate for a while, until the Mongolian centurion behind him roared loudly, and he woke up like a dream.

It was only too late, Wang Dayong casually took over a personal guard's horse lance, and before the explosion had subsided, he had already rushed forward, and the horse lance in his hand was thrown violently, and the horse lance roared along the gap between the two city gates, directly piercing the chest of the Mongolian centurion.

And the next moment, Wang Dayong had already rushed to the gate of the city with his horse, and with a fierce pull on the reins of the horse, the war horse man stood up, and the horse's hooves stepped on the city gate fiercely!

The centurion was assassinated by the horse, and the Mongolian soldiers were in a panic, coupled with the fact that the war horses stepped on the city gate fiercely, which made them defenseless in a sudden situation, and the city gate almost slapped heavily on the chest and arms of these soldiers, and a row of people fell down screaming.

The two city gates were abruptly separated to both sides, Wang Da raised his saber in his hand, and the Ming cavalry shouted and rushed straight into the city, and the red dragon flag symbolizing the Ming Dynasty hunted and danced in the wind.

Wang Dayong exhaled softly. In fact, he took a lot of risks just now, but fortunately, the Mongols obviously did not recover from the explosion just now, otherwise once those Mongolian soldiers in the city were trying to push the city gate, Wang Dayong not only could not kick the city gate, but was also very likely to be pushed back by the city gate and fell to the ground.

But then again, this kind of battlefield fighting, the refreshment of a thousand shots, seems to have been a long time coming.

The rest doesn't have to worry about Wang Dayong, after all, he is the supervisor of the main battle army, and he is not needed to be responsible for such a thing as cleaning up the remnants of the enemy. The Ming cavalry roared into the city from Wang Dayong's side, chasing down the Mongols who were fleeing in all directions.

The Jurchens on both sides of the city wall, like the wind blowing wheat waves at this time, fell to the ground in black pressure, and raised their blades one after another, indicating that they would surrender to the new conqueror.

Originally, there were not many Mongols in this Dongning Mansion, basically all gathered here, and the rest of the city gates were mainly led by Mongol generals to lead the Jurchen people, so as the Jurchens rebelled one after another, white flags were also set up on the city gates, and the city gates were opened.

"Allocate manpower, immediately find out the assets of the Mongol Tatars in the city, and collect prisoners of war, including the Jurchens, first collect them." Wang Huchen's voice could be faintly heard, Wang Dayong hurriedly stepped forward, and sure enough, Wang Huchen had already entered the city, and Guo Chang was also by his side.

"Xuan Yong (Wang Da uses the table word), well done!" Wang Huchen said with a smile, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to stand in this place now." ”

Wang Dayong listened to Wang Huchen's jokes, and also had a relaxed smile on his face: "This is not a certain head, if it is really a meritorious achievement, according to a certain point of view, this Mongolian Tartar should be the first meritorious, if it is not for the Mongolian Tartars to oppress the Jurchens, and still rely on the Jurchens so much to defend the city, I am afraid that this city will not be so easy for us to take down." ”

"Fortified cities are often breached from within." Wang Huchen nodded and looked at Guo Chang beside him, "This time I really rely on Jinyiwei." ”

Guo Chang arched his hand to express humility: "The merits in the merit book, we can all discuss, the top priority is to seize the city, and then march west, after all, time is not waiting for me······"

Guo Chang didn't say much, Wang Huchen and Wang Dayong both snorted. Of course, the secrets of the army's march could not be said in this public, but they all understood what Guo Chang meant. Whether the Zhenhai Navy can seize the line of Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan to the southwest and control the choke point of the retreat of the Mongol Tatars is an important condition for the victory of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty.

"By the way, I forgot to say that the news I received just now that the left wing has taken Gaizhou, and Shenzhou is estimated to be about the same now." Wang Huchen said as he walked in the direction of the mansion, "After this Dongning Mansion was also taken, the defense of the Mongol Tatars in Liaodong finally fell apart. ”

Wang Dayong and Guo Chang glanced at each other, and they both laughed.

The Ming army marched in a neat queue on the street, as well as the fluttering flags, and at this moment there was really a feeling of invincibility.

How fortunate it is that people can be born in such a great war!

————————————————

Northland, Xiongzhou.

Xiongzhou is the border of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State, and then there is the Baigou River, two hundred years after the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, the two sides fought on the north and south banks of the river, countless famous generals glowed with dazzling light, countless soldiers shed the last blood here, once upon a time, there has been no war here for a hundred years, and there have been thousands of armies without sabre-rattling for a hundred years.

Only the weeds swayed silently in the wind.

I don't know why, the wild grass on both sides of the Baigou River grows very luxuriantly, perhaps because of the nourishment of countless flesh and blood after the great battles.

The tranquility of a hundred years has once again been shattered today.

A red dragon flag stretched in the wind, and the Ming army of the brigade lined up on the south bank of the Baigou River. Whether it is a soldier or a war horse, they are all silently looking ahead in the sassy wind.

On the other side of the Baigou River, there was also an army, but that army was smaller in number, constantly moving back and forth, patrolling along the riverbank, beware of the enemy on the other bank who might cross the river at any time. The vessels kept separating and gathering, looking very panicked.

The Baigou River was the original Song-Liao border, and it can be said that the Northern Song Dynasty could use it to resist the Khitan cavalry of the Liao State, so on the Baigou River defense line, the Song army really had a lot of hard work, including digging deep river channels, arranging water networks on the south bank, and even directly and deliberately causing the embankment to burst and cause large and small reeds and reed lakes to appear on the plain, which also made the Baigou River one of the largest rivers in the entire north.

Although no one has dredged it for 100 years, the Baigou River still retains its due width and majestic spirit when the river flows.

The surface of the river reflected the sparkling waves, and the pontoon bridge erected on the river had already been completely destroyed by the Mongols during their retreat, and even the boats on the south bank of the river were burned down, so as not to leave any means for the Ming army to cross the river.

After all, after crossing the Baigou River and continuing to the north is Youyan, which was once the last line of defense of the former Song Dynasty before the Great River, and now it is also the last line of defense of Mongolia in front of Youyan. Therefore, although the Mongols continued to lose troops and generals, they still dispatched an army to defend the north bank of the Baigou River, and pay attention to the movements of the Ming army at any time, which can at least serve as a warning.

Putting down the clairvoyance, Wang Anjie tilted his head slightly and said, "The leader on the opposite side is Boyan. ”

Chen Jiong's eyes lit up beside Wang Anjie: "This guy Boyan actually sent it to the door like this." ”

If you choose a general who is most familiar with the main forces in the eastern Ming Dynasty, then it must be Boyan, especially for Chen Zhi, when Chen Zhi was in Chenzhou City, if it wasn't for the six doors and Jinyiwei prepared the tunnel in advance, I am afraid that Chen Zhi's fate with the rest of the city's envoys would be similar. At that time, it was Boyan who took the lead in attacking Chenzhou City.

Later, the Tianwu army counterattacked and attacked Chenzhou, and what Jiang Hao and Yin Yu regretted the most was to let Boyan go. And this is not counting the earliest battle of Lumen Mountain, Boyan not only escaped with Zhang Hongfan, but even let Jiang Hao lie in bed for more than half a year.

It can be said that Boyan is like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, constantly bringing such and such troubles and troubles to the Ming army, but he can't always clean him up. This also led to the fall of Mongolian generals such as Ah Shu and Zhang Hongfan one after another over the years, and only Boyan still insisted on the front line of the struggle against the Ming army. After all, it is not easy for Kublai Khan to find a general who understands the Ming army and has made the Ming army suffer, and it is even more difficult to cultivate one, plus Shi Tianze is old and difficult to support the overall situation, so Boyan has become the only choice.

"With Boyan here, you can't take it lightly." Wang Anjie said in a deep voice, "Although there are not many Mongolian Tatar soldiers and horses on the other side, there should still be the ability to defend the riverbank, even if you can't hold it, you can retreat with all your body." ”

Chen Zhi nodded, Boyan is resourceful, cunning and cunning, and he can be called a rare general in Mongolia, but it is not so easy to deal with. (To be continued.) )
