After nearly five hours of sniper warfare in Xushan, the first striker of the Iron Fist Brigade and the third flintlock pistol battalion finally arrived at the battlefield.

"Leave it to us here, take the cavalry company and all the horses, let the soldiers muster up the courage to chase after me, and create an opportunity for the brothers to surround and annihilate the Tartars"

"Yes!"

After saluting, Wang returned to his position, and the cavalry company reloaded and galloped north again......

Early the next morning, three miles south of Gaizhou City, a big flag fluttered in the wind, the figure of the Ming army in a tight formation slowly appeared on the horizon, there was a group of cavalry on the side of the official road quickly crossed the infantry, and roared towards Gaizhou, looking down from the city, the flags in the distance were overwhelming, the black and red armor were distinct, and the momentum alone could make people's hearts palpitate.

As early as when the Iron Fist Brigade left Fuzhou, Abatai ordered people to cut down the trees near the official road, and even burned the mountain, because he was afraid that the Ming army would use local materials to build siege equipment.

Abatai stood at the head of the city like a stone Buddha, his two eyes stared coldly at the Ming army below, and around him, surrounded by some dejected Niu Lu Zhangjing, relying on the suicidal cover of Fu Cha, although the Saltu department besieging the Ming cavalry suffered heavy losses, at least most of them returned.

Thinking of this, Abatai sighed in his heart, Saltu has a strong personality, maybe he feels shameless to come back to face it, and he actually pulled out his sword and killed himself on the mountain, Abatai felt sad in his heart, this battle can be regarded as a complete defeat. The number of troops lost is not the key, but the momentum has been completely suppressed by the guerrilla battalion, and Yang Bo's headquarters has become a nightmare in their hearts. Just look at the faces of these people right now. That's what loses the most.

The cavalry of the Ming army approached Gaizhou with great strength, shouting and scolding, all kinds of provocations against the defenders, Abatai looked down lightly, the Ming army was terrifying, but he actually did not have too much panic in his heart, although the battle of Xushan suffered great losses. However, the city of Gaizhou is tall and strong, and the grain in the city is enough to support it, and the number of people in the field is not enough but it is more than enough to hold on. He is not worried that Gaizhou will repeat the mistakes of Fuzhou.

But perhaps this is not the case with these frightened birds, and Abatai feels the need to reassure people now.

"The Ming army is coming to the city, do you have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?" Abatai looked around to the left and right.

Tumut Niulu Amula and Blue Banner Biru all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. Although Abatai did not punish them after returning from defeat. But their hearts were filled with shame and fear.

Zhenghongqi Baidu flattered: "There are seven beyles in Gaizhou, and the only worry is that the Ming army is eager to change to a siege, or tempt us to go out of the city to fight, and use the power of firearms to consume the elite of my Eight Banners." ”

Abatai sneered in his heart, these defeated generals were afraid of the Ming army, and they were able to go around in such a big circle to try to convince themselves.

Abatai nodded and said, "Baidu is right. If the attack fails, the Ming army can only besiege it, and the food saving point in the city is enough for two months. There's nothing to worry about, the Ming army came from afar, Fuzhou is more than two hundred miles away from Gaizhou, and there is no food to grab from the surrounding forts, how long can the Ming army hold on? I'm afraid that before we starve to death, the Ming army will starve to death first. ”

Amula wanted to say that Gaizhou was only three miles away from Lianyun Island, and the Ming army could get supplies from the sea continuously, but he thought about it and lowered his head again.

"According to the Zhengbai Banner rout, the reason why Fuzhou was lost was because a large piece collapsed under the continuous bombardment of the Ming artillery, and the slaves thought that some houses in the city should be demolished and more blue bricks and stones should be prepared." Bai Du thought about it and said.

Abatai nodded and said with a smile: "Not bad, but don't worry, Gaizhou is not as good as Fuzhou, how many shells can the Ming army fight?" Even if a few pieces are destroyed, I still have an inner city to defend, so where are I afraid of him? ”

Seeing that everyone nodded again and again, Abatai said again: "Yang Bo's department is the best at besieging the city to help, I have carefully asked Yang Bo about all the battles launched, Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Tieshan, Xushan are all like this, besieging the city to help is not a sophisticated tactic, our Eight Banners are also commonly used, but the soldiers of the Ming army are not afraid of death, everyone is one as ten, Xu Shan held on for five hours under the siege of my superior forces, and was able to organize a counteroffensive, and finally trapped half of our Niulu......"

Hearing Abatai's words, the faces of the people were extremely ashamed, and their heads were so low that they wished for a hole to be drilled into.

"Yesterday, I received an urgent report from Prince Zheng Feishu, the Ming army's middle and right offensive is very urgent, Shengjing, Haiyao can't draw more troops to rescue, and the field battle is not the opponent of the Ming army, so ......"

Hearing Abatai's words, everyone's hearts were cold, and Abatai told them unmistakably that Gaizhou would not have a single soldier of reinforcements before the Great Khan returned to the division, and it was up to them whether they could hold it or not.

Just when everyone was worried, there was a sudden uproar at the head of the city, Abatai was shocked, and quickly looked down, a group of cavalry carefully avoided the artillery at the head of the city, and stopped at a place of more than 300 steps outside the city, and the defenders of the city saw clearly, there was a horse behind dragging a bloody prisoner, after coming to the city, several Ming soldiers jumped off the horse, swaggered to put the mother prisoner up, pulled his braid and turned his head towards the city, after seeing the face of this person, many sharp-eyed armor soldiers suddenly clamoured, They cursed viciously downward.

"It's Lord Balha, who is waving the white flag and waving his teeth," Bai Du said in a sharp voice to Abatai.

"Balha captured?" Abatai's heart sank, and he immediately thought of the other party's vicious plan.

There are many Zhengbai Banner Ding Jia soldiers at the head of the city, as well as hundreds of people who have been dispersed from Fuzhou, Abatai takes into account that although the life and death of Azig are unknown, there are Doherty and Duoduo brothers, so he simply compiled the Zhengbai Flag into a Niu Lu, and the selected Niu Lu Zhangjing is also a Zheng Bai Banner, indicating that he has no ambition to meddle in the Zheng Bai Flag, and now he sees that the original noble and majestic master is carried by the Ming army like a chicken, and the humiliation in his heart makes these Zheng Bai Qi soldiers eyes split, and they are like thunder.

"What should I do?" Everyone also reacted, and their faces were extremely ugly.

Really. The bull of the white flag was humiliated, and ran over with his share to ask for battle, looking at these indignant fools. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Abatai simply imprisoned these Niu Lu who asked for war and let them sober up in their cells.

In the hateful eyes of the Gaizhou defenders, a naked soldier of the Ming army grabbed a bull's ear knife and cut Balha into countless small pieces in front of everyone, and each piece was also demonstratively walked into the city to show off to everyone. A general also scolded loudly in Manchu: "Not convinced? Unconvinced, come out and bite me? You shrunken turtles, you turtles who can only swing knives at the Han people, come out. Come and bite grandpa's bird? ”

When everyone's anger was like water droplets on the oil pot about to burst, something more vicious happened, not counting Balha alive, the Ming army actually led out two skinny vicious dogs!

The tragic situation in Balha is unbearable for those who originally advocated perseverance. Bai Du said with red eyes: "My lord." The villain is willing to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters out of the city to fight to the death, even if he can't repel the Ming army, he will have to break the corpse of that general matter into thousands of pieces! ”

Bai Du, who was so angry by the vicious words of the Han people that he was out of his body, was about to go berserk......

Abatai glanced at Baidu coldly, Baidu shivered all over, and instantly came to his senses.

"The Han people have a saying that makes a lot of sense, they will not raise troops out of anger, Yang Bo is provoking us. Are you really that stupid? Can't you see such a simple trick to lure the enemy? ”

Tumut Niulu Amula echoed: "The master is right, the Ming army is several times larger than me. The combat power is strong, and the fierce battle out of the city is to add fuel and firewood, and it is in the arms of the Ming army, so we can't be fooled. ”

Bai Du's face was red, and he held back his anger and nodded: "Yes, the villain knows that it is wrong." ”

Abatai was pleased: "The plan for today is to appease people's hearts, stick to it, and there is no need to ...... out of the city."

Before Abatai's words were finished, there was another commotion at the head of the city, and a white-armored soldier ran over in a panic and said: "Master, the master is not good, the Ming army, the Ming army ......."

Seeing that this white-armored soldier was not happy, Abatai was anxious, and kicked him over and walked to the city, only to look at him and froze......

"Yang Bo, you are a vicious villain, acting so cruelly, aren't you afraid of God's punishment?" Abatai scolded, pointed to the city and said loudly: "Yang Bo, one day it falls into the hands of my Abatai, you will be unable to survive, you will not be able to die, you will be called my heart!" ”

The Ming army under the city set up a large iron plate, there was a raging fire below, the two Ming soldiers on the left and right pressed the prisoners tied to the wooden pole to the iron plate, those prisoners were naked, and the whole body was painted with charcoal all over the turtle king, each cannon burned a person, the Ming army also had to pull his braids, and let the defenders of the city see his face clearly, if they couldn't see clearly, the vicious general kept explaining to them.

"Lao Tzu's name is Ruan Dacheng, I have read a lot of books, the champion of the Ming Kingdom, do you know what the champion is? The champion of the Ming Kingdom is much more advanced than your Hongwen Pavilion and the Xiucai of the Bachelor's Hall, that is really 10,000 people can't pick out one, the champion can not only read, but also scold, more than scolding you ten can't scold me, do you want to try? The general proudly lifted his pants, ignored the raindrops of bricks and stones at the head of the city, and sprinkled a soak of urine among the ten thousand armies, and after sprinkling, he wiped a few handfuls on the face of a captive, and carefully approached the city under the protection of the shields of the two Ming troops, and said loudly: "The following program is called the punishment of cannon branding, I tell you, this cannon torture is a long time ago, historical legends and historical books say that it was done by King Yin, I don't know King Yin?" Hmm, I forgot that you are savages, that is to say, it was the last years of the Shang Dynasty, at that time, don't talk about you Xiaojin, even if Mongolia, the Jurchen don't know where the mess is, "Xunzi. The Parliamentary Soldier recorded the cloud: "Gang Bigan, prisoner basket, cannon branding." "Han Feizi. Yu Lao" Jiyun: "The meat garden is set up with cannon branding, climbing the bad Qiu, and facing the wine pool." "It is said that the punishment of cannon burning was done by King Yin, our Lord Yang has improved on this torture of cannon branding, after decades of painstaking research, we finally invented another kind of torture, Lord Yang named it Teppanyaki, now you should feel very excited, because Lord Yang decided to let you savages open their eyes and see what this teppanyaki is all about, don't blink, don't blink?"

After speaking, Ruan Dacheng walked quickly to the side of a prisoner who had been crossed by a wooden pole, grabbed his scalp hard and walked to the city, and said loudly: "This guy's name is Dayinbu, it seems that he is a little bit of a red flag, well, the official is a little smaller, but it doesn't matter, let's take him first, and after having experience, which cattle will be used, and the leader is also worthy of their identity, right?" ”

Before Ruan Dacheng's words were finished, the city let out an angry roar, Bai Du's eyes breathed fire, and he was held down by several white-armored soldiers, and he struggled hard while scolding at the city.

"Take it down!" Abatai waved his hand weakly, he didn't know what way to deal with Yang Bo's cruelty and shamelessness, he got the Eight Banners all over, did he imprison them himself? Who will defend the city? (To be continued......)
