Chapter 64: Deliberation

That night, the smoke of gunpowder under the city of Fuzhou continued, from time to time there was an iron with a scream rushing up to the city, the battlement of the city mouth shook suddenly, countless broken bricks and flying stones fell down with a snort, the Ming army went down the camp outside the city, in order to prevent the Tartars from going out of the city to raid, there were many ambushes and outposts outside the camp, the logistics camp was brightly lit, and the craftsmen were directing the soldiers to rush to make siege equipment overnight......

In Fuzhou City, Azig convened everyone to discuss, and several Jialazhangjing of the Zhengzhou Zhengbai Banner and Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming of the Han Army Banner, as well as several Niu Lu of the Chahar Department also gathered, and everyone was not happy, and they were all waiting for Azig to speak quietly.

Azig was demoted from the third-class Baylor to the fourth-class Beizi, and was sent to Fuzhou to garrison, failed to participate in the southern raid, and had a taste of exile, these are all right, but the Ming army outside the city is menacing, and there is a taste of not giving up if Fuzhou is not beaten, and after the counterattack at the head of the city just now, everyone heard that the north gate was also blocked before they had time to be happy, this news made everyone feel the crisis, and the other party was probably desperate, and did not plan to let himself return to Shenyang alive!

Seeing that everyone was bored, Azig said, "How are the various departments currently damaged?" ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and at that moment, a Niu Lu of Chahar said: "If you go back to Beizi, the minion department will not suffer much damage at the east gate, but with the sentry horses blocked along the way, there will be nearly two hundred horses." ”

Seeing that Azig was worried, Niu Lu hurriedly explained: "The Ming army came too fast, and it was not until the sentry cavalry crossed the Fuzhou River that it was discovered ......"

Azig waved his hand and said, "This has nothing to do with you and others, I personally ordered the retreat to Fuzhou." If you don't get entangled with the superior strength of the Ming army, it's not too much of a loss to fold two hundred cavalry, Ruitu. I expect Yang Bo to attack the city on a large scale tomorrow, how can Wuzhen Hachao fight? ”

Kong Youde revealed his face from the shadows, shook his head a little dejectedly, and said: "Wuzhenha has not been in the army for a long time, and he is not the opponent of the guerrilla battalion, especially in the bloody battle at the head of the city just now, although we have been planning for a long time and have a large number of people, but the other party is not afraid of death. Under the temporary counterattack, I Wuzhen Hachao was hit hard, and there were too many firecrackers to blow up, if Yang Bo would attack like this tonight a few more times. I'm just afraid ......"

Zhengbai flag waved Yalezhang Jing Balha said: "The artillery of the Ming army is fierce, so that my warriors can not gain a foothold in the city, and many armor soldiers today did not die in the battle, most of them were hit by artillery." Especially the vest. More than 300 casualties were imposed. ”

Azig thought for a while and said, "The Ming army at the east gate and the north gate are also part of the guerrilla battalion? Isn't there any other banner of the Ming army? How many people are there in the guerrilla battalion? Outside this city, I'm only afraid of tens of thousands of Ming troops, right? ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and Kong Youde said: "Back to the twelve Beizi, as far as the last general knows, the first battalion of the Ming Kingdom is only about 3,000 people, and Yang Bo, as a general, must have brought three battalions over." ”

Azig said dumbfoundedly: "Where did he get so many soldiers and horses?" In the first battle of Jinzhou last year, the guerrilla battalion was only about 6,000, but it was more than doubled in size in just half a year. And all of them can fight habitually, and now Fuzhou is besieged. Do you have a good way to retreat from the enemy? ”

In addition to the Han military banner, all of you here participated in the siege of Jinzhou with Azig, when tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on their side besieged Jinzhou and showed off their might, but now the situation is completely reversed!

Bang!

There was another loud bang, and the dust on the roof of the hall fell, and although the weather was warm on the night of May, a cold air was running around in everyone's hearts, and everyone looked at each other, and they all saw that the other side was extremely ugly.

After half a ring, Ahajueluo under Azig muttered: "Master don't need to worry, as long as we hold on for two days, Gaizhou Abatai will definitely lead the army to rescue, and when the time comes, we will attack from both sides, and we will not worry about the Ming army being undefeated, besides, we have already asked Shenyang Zierharang for help, and it will only take five days from Shenyang to Fuzhou." ”

Although Ahmajue Luo said well, but in the Eight Banners, Azig, Yuetuo, Haoge, etc. have fought with the guerrilla battalion, especially the guerrilla battalion is equipped with sophisticated firearms, and the first battle of Jinzhou, more than 400 Azig Aoyale battalion elite was wiped out in a battle, and the 3,000 elite vests lost 2,000, if it weren't for Azig seeing the opportunity quickly, desperately disobeying the order of the Great Khan to withdraw without authorization, otherwise the fifteen Niu Lu of the white flag are afraid that there will be only a few left, but this time this man-eating wolf has grown into a hungry tiger, and it also surrounded the city of Fuzhou.

Seeing that everyone in Houjin was silent, Geng Zhongming touched his bare head and said: "This guerrilla battalion is indeed a bit strange, the Ming army in other places will fight weaker and weaker after the family is damaged, but the guerrilla battalion is getting stronger and stronger, and the firearms are even more ferocious......

Before Geng Zhongming finished speaking, the hall shook violently again, and more dust shrouded it.

Rumble!

The sound of iron striking the city wall was heard from afar.

After everyone finished coughing, Kong Youde said slowly: "The last general guessed that this Yang Boding secretly concealed the number and reported it to the imperial court as a battalion, but privately trained dozens of times the soldiers and horses. The battle of Yangbo Lushun was less than 3,000, Jinzhou reached 6,000, and now it is more than 14,000. This person is scheming, and he is bent on being our enemy, is indeed our henchman? ”

Azig waved his hand a little irritably, and said, "Ritu, what's the good of talking about those idle things now?" Abatai garrisoned Gaizhou, can not move lightly, Zilharang himself is still anxious, Xiuyan and Zhenjiang have been lost, the two Dongjiang Ming army all the way to attack the city and plunder the land, Jierharang must have no time to divide troops to rescue Fuzhou, as soon as the day dawns, the Ming army is about to attack the city, where to go, you will be happy with that idea, right? ”

Kong Youde's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he lowered his head and said, "What does Fei Beizi mean?" ”

Azig looked at Kong Youde with a sneer, and said, "Mo Feiruitu ambushed Yang Bo once tonight, and then he thought that Fuzhou was impregnable?" I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I have dealt with that Yang Bo, originally Yang Bo surrounded the two and one, the intention was just to want to reinstate, and now the loss has aroused the ferocity of this person, the north gate is surrounded as proof, he now not only wants Fuzhou, but also our head! ”

Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming glanced at each other, gritted their teeth and said: "Beizi's words, please forgive the general, as long as we work together to hold Fuzhou, the sentry cavalry has urgently reported to Gaizhou and Shenyang, fifty miles, Yulinbao and other places Two thousand soldiers and horses can rush to rescue, we may have a way to survive if we hold on, and when the reinforcements gather inside and outside to attack, the Ming army will come from afar, and the grain and grass will inevitably be poor, and we will not know if we will turn defeat into victory?" ”

Azig's face suddenly turned red, and he held the cup tightly in his hand, and after a long time, Azig calmed down and said: "Ruitu, Yang Bo is cunning and insidious, since he dares to besiege Fuzhou in a big way, how many soldiers and horses will he have on the front line of covering Fuzhou?" Besides, the low wall of Fuzhou City is broken, and there is not even an urn city, how long can it hold out under the bombardment of the Ming army's artillery for days? Once the city is broken, who will be the opponent of the guerrilla battalion in the field? Rely on your Han military flag? Or is it Wuzhen Hachao? ”

As if to confirm Azig's words, another cannon was slammed into the city walls, and the loud sound of large bricks falling could even be heard clearly in the hall.

Most of the people in the hall had fought with the guerrilla battalion, and they all nodded in their hearts to Azig's proposal, but thinking that Kong Youde and the others were personally sent by Huang Taiji to Fuzhou to defend the city, they didn't nod, and Azig didn't dare to abandon the city easily.

Azig's words are like boulders thrown on the calm river, Kong Youde was originally a miner in the Dongjiang River, and he has a gangster spirit, he has the secret order of Huang Taiji, and he is not afraid of this out-of-power Beizi, Kong Youde glanced at several of his subordinates, stood up and said: "Twelve Beizi, what you said is that the morale of the Changming Army has destroyed the prestige of my Dajin Eight Banner warriors, isn't it more than 10,000 Ming troops?" There are 4,000 warriors in our city, and Yulin Fort gathers 2,000 along the way, and according to the city, 6,000 against 14,000, you can also kill them to lose their armor, why is Bei Zi so pessimistic in his words? If Beizi wants to abandon the city, he won't dare to stop it, but Beizi is afraid that it will be difficult to explain in front of the Great Khan, right? ”

"Bold!" The people of Zhengbai Banner couldn't hold back any longer, and they pulled out their swords one after another, and many generals of the Han Army Banner on the opposite side did not hesitate at all, and also pulled out their swords and guns, and they were about to be fired.

Kong Youde was still not afraid, looking at Azig with a sneer on his face, while Geng Zhongming and the others had a mocking expression.

The gloomy color on Azig's face flashed, and he was extremely angry that these Han dogs suddenly dared to have the courage to argue with him, but if he didn't have the certainty of killing all the Han military banners, it would be difficult for him to turn his face with Kong Youde, after all, he represented the meaning of Huang Taiji.

Thinking of this, Azig glanced at the people below, several Zhang Jing put away their knives one after another, and Azig said again: "Ruitu, today we need to discuss a countermeasure, the county town is defended, how to defend it?" Can you tell me? ”

Kong Youde didn't expect that this Twelve Baylor, who had always been domineering, would be able to endure this breath, he was slightly stunned, sat back in his position and thought for a long time and said: "The art of war is cloudy, ten rules to besiege it, the Ming army outside the city is not more than 10,000, to attack the city, and to besiege, how can it last long?" ”

Aha Jueluo suddenly sneered and said: "Joke, there are only three gates in Fuzhou, the Ming army surrounds two gates, and storms the south gate with artillery, the south gate is now in danger, General Kong is talking about what number of people is not enough, in the words of your Ming Kingdom, isn't it a big joke in the world?" ”

Kong Youde smiled slightly: "Defending the city naturally can't be defended, it's like the battle of the Daling River, Zu Dashou used the troops to change ever-changing, so that my Eight Banners suffered a lot, if it weren't for the Great Khan's insistence, I'm afraid that the Daling River wouldn't be able to defeat it, right?" ”

When Azig heard Kong Youde's words sarcastically about his past complaint, his forehead was bruised.

"We naturally can't sit back and watch the siege of the Ming army, I mean, only leave a thousand feet of armor with young and strong clothes to defend the city, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are divided into two ways to raid the north gate, the east gate, and the Ming army field battle, so that the Ming army will inevitably divide the manpower to prevent us from breaking through, besides, our cavalry is not injured, we can send cavalry or cut off its grain route, or outflank it behind the back, attack its weak points, mess up its battle formation, divide and attack, and drag them to death."
