Three thousand iron horses, swept across the land of Liaoxi in autumn like a storm.

To the south of the city of Yiju, a group of light cavalry in the town of Jinju was patrolling and discovered the arrival of this cavalry.

"Under the banner of the Qin army, it seems to be under the command of Sun Duchen." A Jinzhou rider looked at the banner of this cavalry from a distance and carefully identified the road.

"Did they come to share the broth?" The next few riders said with a smile.

"Haha, it's better to come early than to come sooner, they just caught up, and then the party will be broken, and they won't even be able to drink a sip of broth. Let's go, let's catch up. The captain of the light cavalry smiled and said to his brothers, and took the lead in greeting the horse's belly.

"Hey, which army and horses are you under the command of Sun Duchen, and which general is leading the team?"

The cavalry was in front of a hundred cavalry squads, and when they saw them, they had already come up to meet them. "Which team are you?"

"Hey, Qin Jun's brother, we are under the command of the ancestor of Jinzhou, and we are ordered to patrol here."

The black-faced Han officer of the forward hundred cavalry team under the banner of the Qin army nodded, "Oh, it turned out to be under the command of Zu Shuai, brother, how is the battle under Yizhou City?" ”

"Hehe, brother, you came just in time, tell you, our Admiral Wu has led an army of 120,000 troops from five towns to surround the inner and outer three layers of Yizhou City, and the Yizhou Tartars are already unable to fly. Now Wu Junmen is commanding an army of 100,000 to attack the city, you listen to the rumbling cannons, like thunder, it has been fighting for a long time, I heard that the southern city wall of Yizhou has been blasted open a big hole, almost our brothers rushed over, but unfortunately the Tartars desperately blocked. ”

The Jinzhou cavalry officer said, "My God, you haven't seen that cannon, hundreds of cannons are set together." The southern city wall of Yiju is bombarded, and the earth is really shaking, and the sky is cracking. Those cannons are really powerful, especially the cannons purchased from Hubei, which are called a fierce, beaten Tartar crying father and mother. It is not necessary to call the heavens and the earth, and the earth is not spiritual. If you want me to see it, we can break down the walls of the city today, nail them into the city, and destroy these tartars. Tartar can plug the gap once, and he can also plug the second and third time? We have these cannons, and we can bomb as many openings as we want. ”

The black-faced man's face changed slightly when he heard this, "That means that Yizhou City has not been breached yet?" ”

"Not yet. It won't be long before you come just in time, and you will be able to have a share of this breakthrough by then. ”

The black-faced man nodded, "Is Wu Shuai's artillery array so fierce?" We'll see where this artillery emplacement is, and we'll go over and see later. ”

"On the high slope three hundred steps southeast of Yiju City, you can see it from a distance, and the smoke of gunpowder is filled. But you can't get around, Wu Shuai sent troops to guard it. Three thousand cavalry and several thousand infantry held the artillery position. Prepare for the Tartars to go out of the city and attack the artillery array. Hehe, we have such a powerful artillery array, we won't give the Tartars this kind of opportunity. ”

"Thank you, brother." The black-faced man grinned.

The officer of the Jinzhou cavalry suddenly felt that something was not right, and at this moment, the black-faced man roared, and quickly drew his knife and slashed over. The cavalry officer panicked and turned sideways, but then the knife slashed again, and he could not dodge it again, and was slashed off his horse.

Blood was pouring out, he asked suspiciously. "Why?"

"Let you die to understand, we are the soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty."

"You're obviously a Han Chinese." The cavalry officer spat out a sentence with difficulty.

"We belong to the Four Banners of the Han Dynasty."

"Traitor!" The cavalry officer roared angrily, and the black-faced man stabbed him in the chest, and the cavalry officer's scolding came to an abrupt end.

At the same time, the Jinzhou light cavalry was also suddenly attacked by more than 100 Han army flag knights and was hacked to death.

The black-faced man turned on his horse and ran back to the front of the group.

"My lord, Wu Sangui is leading his troops to storm Yizhou City with artillery, but Yizhou City has not yet been broken. Wu Sangui's artillery array was set up on a dirt slope about 300 steps away from the city wall at the southeast end of Yizhou, and there were thousands of cavalry guarding the artillery array. ”

Shi Tingzhu, who was dressed as a general of the Ming Army, heard this and nodded, "Fortunately, we came quickly." ”

Shi Tingzhu is one of the four banners of the Qing army and one of the four solid mountains of the Qing army, and he is a general who is deeply trusted by Huang Taiji. But he was originally a general of the Ming army, originally a garrison of Guangning, and in the second year of the Apocalypse, Guangning was lost, and after surrendering, he was awarded the title of guerrilla. After that, he went to Mongolia with the Qing army, attacked Korea, unified the Heilongjiang River Basin, fought bravely, made many military exploits, won deep trust, and made great contributions to the Houjin.

He performed well during the expedition to Mongolia, and was promoted to third-class deputy general after the war, and was promoted to deputy general for attacking Phi Island and Chahar, and was rewarded for participating in the battle of attacking Ningyuan and breaking the Daling River, and led his troops to break through Lushun and was promoted to general army. Ten years, Wuzhen Chaoha is divided into two wings of the Han army, Shi Tingzhu and Ma Guangyuan are the two wings of the solid mountain Ezhen, last year, the two wings were promoted to the four banners of the Han army, he is also one of the four solid mountain Ezhen.

This time, he personally led 3,000 iron cavalry disguised as the Ming army, and rushed all the way north along the Daling River to Yizhou for reinforcements.

Shi Tingzhu is actually not a Han Chinese, he is a Jurchen, his ancestor was the commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard during the Chenghua period, and later moved to Liaodong, with Shi as his surname, and became a Sinicized Jurchen. Later, Guangning was lost, and he surrendered to Houjin, but he still maintained the dress of the Han people, and he always commanded the Han army in the Qing army.

From Wuzhen Chaoha to the left and right wings of the Han Army and then to the current Four Banners of the Han Army, he has always been a general that Nurhachi and Huang Taiji's father believes in.

Shi Tingzhu brought this time the elite cavalry of the Han Army Banner based on the Aliha Chaoha Battalion, which is the direct subordinate battalion of each Gushan Ezhen, which is equivalent to the standard battalion of the Ming Governors, such a Aliha Chaoha Battalion, the entire Qing army, is now only twenty battalions.

Shi Tingzhu knew the latest situation under the city of Yizhou, and when he heard that Wu Sangui had a powerful artillery force, and when the city of Yizhou was in danger, he still did not have the slightest look of panic and fear. Just pondering with his sword, he led the three thousand elite horsemen to wear the military robes of the Ming army under the banner of the Han people, and walked boldly but smoothly all the way to here.

Although there are many Ming troops, there is nothing to fear.

Shi Tingzhu pointed in the direction of Uiju and pointed in the direction of the rumbling cannon.

"The artillery of the Ming army is not fierce, then let's go and end their cannons. Kill their artillery fire, let's go back and kill Wu Sangui, cut down Zu Dashou, and level the Ming army. ”

Meler Zhangjing Liu Zhiyuan beside him said beside him, "My lord, do you want to think about it again, they also said just now that the artillery array of the Ming army is guarded by thousands of paces." ”

Shi Tingzhu glanced at the direction he was about to attack, stretched out his hand and pulled out the knife directly, he slowly raised the knife, and the three thousand elite horsemen behind him were waiting for his order.

"Don't hesitate, the only thing the Ming army has to rely on is artillery. As long as we destroy the artillery position of the Ming army, the Ming army will be a toothless tiger. ”

After he finished speaking, with a wave of his long knife, he yelled at his subordinates who were quietly waiting for orders behind him, "Brothers, there are 100,000 Ming troops in front of us, but so what? For so many years, there are still fewer Ming troops defeated under us? The Battle of Guangning, the Battle of Ningyuan, and the Battle of the Daling River, we even fought under the city of Beijing and Jinan, Shandong, brothers, over the years, you have fought with me in the south and the north, in the east and in the west, in the west, in Mongolia, in the east and in Korea, in the north, no one can stop, we charged, we are in the middle of the battle, we are in the middle of the city, today, 100,000 Ming troops under the city of Yizhou, they are just about to witness our victory! ”

"Brothers, fame and riches are at hand, but you will take them at once, with your sabers, bows and arrows!"

"Brothers, follow me, defeat the Ming army, seize the wealth, kill!"

The war horse galloped, Shi Tingzhu took the lead, Shi Tingzhu, who was only in his early forties, had great prestige in the army under his command, he rode his horse and galloped in front, and the three thousand elite horsemen behind all followed closely, like a sharp arrow, shooting straight to the city of Yizhou.

Shi Tingzhu led his troops to rush to Yizhou like a lightning speed.

Under the city of Yizhou, the battle is still in full swing, and Wu Sangui's artillery position is still pouring and throwing shells. The artillery position was filled with gunsmoke.

Ning Yuan's artillery array has blasted gaps in the city wall several times, each time becoming more and more dangerous. The two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties fought desperately every time, leaving corpses everywhere in the gap.

In the section of the city wall where the artillery was bombarded, there were piles of corpses on both sides, forming a mountain of corpses.

The Qing army mobilized heavy troops to defend this section, and the Ming army repeatedly used this place as a breakthrough, and the blood killed here flowed like a river, and the corpses piled up like a mountain. The Qing army mobilized all the large and small artillery and crossbow arrows that could attack the Ming artillery array, and also killed and wounded many Ming gunners and destroyed several artillery pieces.

But the Ming army had a large number of artillery, and it was still pouring out artillery fire to its heart's content.

However, although the city wall was repeatedly blasted open and the gap was made, the ferocity of the Qing army was also amazing, and the Qing army in heavy armor held the gap again and again with flesh and blood, repelled the charge of the Ming army again and again, and then blocked the gap little by little.

The siege battles in other places did not stop for a moment, and there were shouts of killing everywhere, and at every moment, countless soldiers on both sides fell above and below the city.

But whether it was Wu Sangui, Zu Dashou and others outside the city, or Zierharang, Duoduo and others in the city, they did not hesitate at all.

This is the battlefield meat grinder, and the soldiers on both sides keep filling this bottomless pit.

"The Tartars won't last long." Wu Sangui watched the newly opened gap once again blocked by the Tartars, and just sneered in return. It took nearly an hour for the Tartars to finally close this gap just now. Although the Ming army's attack failed again, the Tartars paid at least three or four hundred corpses before the gap.

Such casualties were also unbearable for the Tartars, and the Tartars would not last long.

A few more times, the Ming army will be able to seize the gap and enter the city. As long as a gap is controlled, then the tall Yizhou city wall will lose its defensive role, and then a steady stream of Ming troops will enter the city, and the number of Ming troops is several times that of the Qing army, and this final victory will be achieved.

"Report!"

A military academy rode a horse and galloped over, "Marshal, a cavalry from the south, about three thousand horsemen, under the banner of the Qin army, is approaching. ”

"The cavalry of the Qin army, the soldiers and horses of Sun Duchen, well, send someone to meet them." Wu Sangui stared at Yizhou City and said without looking back. "Thank you for Ben Shuai, the brothers of the Qin army who came from afar, and arrange for them to watch the battle while watching the battle, and see how we can take Yizhou City."
