Chapter 10: The Hungry Wolf Comes
The armor is bright, the hooves are like thunder, the blue flag flag, Heshuo Baylor, and the flag of Gushan Ezhen flutter in the wind, and the banners of each Meler Ezhen, Jiahao Ezhen, and Niu Lu Ezhen respond, and the cavalry of the brigade trotted towards Lushun, one person and two horses marched quite fast, and the elite soldiers of the two Niu Lu in front of the brigade fought fiercely with the Ming army at night, opening the way for the brigade, shielding their own intentions, and minimizing the reaction time of the Ming army.
Mang Gurtai rode on his big black horse, undulating with the horse's running, looking around, Mang Gurtai was full of pride, and the army was like a dragon winding and galloping, and the momentum was like a rainbow. This is Ben Bellor's blue banner elite soldier, which Nikan team can match.
Itaia is seventeen years old this year, is the blue flag vest, the eldest son of Niu Lu Zhen Erlu, this year's first expedition to the Ming Dynasty, Itaia is dressed in iron armor happily riding on a horse, looking at the back of his father Erlu, looking at the people and horses around, "Well, I hope to plunder a few more Nikans and grab more gold and silver." "One-half of the flag in the village went out, everyone was enthusiastic, playing Nikan means the opportunity to win gold and silver, coated slaves, not the son of Zhang Jing himself is afraid that he will not get this quota, before Liao Shen, he was still in his hometown, there are not many acres of land at home, the harvest is barren and quite difficult, after Liao Shen, the family Nikan grabbed more than 10 people, hundreds of gold and silver, and shared hundreds of acres of land in Haizhou, it is really a blessing from the sky. Last year, he began to go out with his father to attack Fuzhou, Zhenjiang and other places, and was promoted from Yu Ding to vest.
Itaia looked at the little Giroud who was riding a horse next to him, and the two of them bet five taels of silver to see who killed Nikantor and robbed more gold and silver.
Giroud, who was dressed in leather armor, saw Itaia looking at him, so he looked at Itaia and pouted in disbelief, to see who could win, to see who could win.
The spotted immediately Daming hundred households, the cavalry of the Lushun infantry battalion wiped the sweat of the general Liu Guang,
"My lord, we can't break in, there are too many slaves, what should we do," said Wang San, a small flag on another horse, Wang San's helmet was crooked, covered with sweat, and there was a heavy arrow stuck in the cotton armor of his left arm.
"Wait," Liu Guang replied frowning, looking at the large puff of dust rising in the distance in front of him.
Two horsemen came at a rapid pace from the side,
"My lord, from the hill, there is dust for a few miles behind, it must be the Mang Gurtai Brigade." Two small flags report.
"Order the whole team to return to the army," as long as you know that it is the Mang Gurtai Brigade, although Liu Guang and the Tartars have a bloody feud, Liu Guang's family only survives him and his younger brother Liu Guang, but he will not use his mantis arm as a car and lose his life in vain, "Wang San, you go back to Lushun quickly and return to your lord." ”
A moment later, Liu Guang led Ye Buhui, who only had more than 20 riders left, to the south.
Zhang Pan received the return of the night, and after a little thought, Jiannu arrived in Lushun in less than an hour, and then ordered the whole army to return to Nancheng, no way, the expected reinforcements have not yet set off from Dengzhou, who let Mao Shuai and Governor Wu, Yang Zongbing discord, now more than 4,000 people are divided into two cities, that is only enough to stand on the city wall, there is no reserve, otherwise, the two cities are each other's horns, enough for Jiannu to have a headache. Nancheng is an important place for military warehouses, where soldiers, armor, grain and grass, and sea terminals are all located, and there is no room for loss.
The people of the army in Shunbeicheng shouted and neighed, making a mess, and the only thousands of Liao people left after a day and a night of rushing were crying and screaming, and they were strung around the dock like headless flies, and the soldiers were under pressure for a while to restore discipline to the remaining people. The soldiers forced thousands of people to enter the dock south of the southern city.
At this time, Zhao Haiming, Zhao Lie, Huang Tieshan, Yu Fu and other bows discussed matters together on the Fuhai. The chaotic sound came, and everyone went out of the cabin to the deck together, looking at Lushun, and was speechless for a while.
Zhao Lie stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the city, his heart was also slightly nervous, although he had made sufficient preparations in the past two days, the soldiers had been ashore and arranged, and all the warships with the Franco cannons had also been close to the west of the city, but after all, the strongest army in East Asia in this era was coming, and the big war was imminent.
Zhao Haiming turned around and looked at everyone, "Everyone, according to the agreement, we will see the blood feud with the old slave today." ”
Everyone agreed. Return to the ship in turn.
Zhao Haiming looked at Zhao Lie and patted Zhao Lie, "Don't be reckless, the first thing is to protect yourself." ”
Zhao Lie's eyes were red, and he knelt down on his knees, "The child knows, and the father should also take care." Zhao Lie resolutely got up and got off the boat, Zhao Haiming stopped talking, sighed, and watched Zhao Lie disappear on the side of the ship.
The ships of the Weihai division anchored and leaned to the shore to protect the Nancheng wharf and thousands of Liao people, and at all times there were boats returning from Shuangdao to carry refugees.
Under the noon sun, the small city in the distance gradually became larger, three miles away from the city, the whole army was bunched, and the forward horse flew to report Mang Gurtai, "The north city is empty,"
Mang Gurtai laughed: "Zhang Pan, this gutless rat, is only a turtle with a shrunken head. Town. ”
Mang Gurtai and several Meler Ezhen, Jiahao Ezhen and their guards entered the northern city, only to see that the city was empty, and the belongings were discarded all over the ground, and it was a mess.
Mang Gurtai was even happier when he saw this embarrassing scene, he had not experienced the bullying of the Jianzhou Jurchens by the Ming Dynasty and other Jurchen tribes more than ten years ago, and it was difficult to understand Mang Gurtai's revenge pleasure at this time.
Out of the south gate of the north city, the south city appeared in front of you, the south city is not as big as the north city, it is better to say that they are the city than to say that it is a fort, the north city wall of the south city is full of Ming soldiers, there are very few iron armor, most of them are leather armor and cotton armor, and there are many without armor, which makes Mang Gurtai very emotional, once upon a time the Jin army armor is not as good as the current Ming army, however, there is a transport brigade of the Ming army in Liaodong, these are not things, there is no gun and no armor Ming army to make for you, no one Ming army to send you.
Zhang Pan stood at the head of the city and watched the Blue Flag Brigade unfold between the two cities, the banners were all armored, most of them were still ironclad, people shouted horse neighing, very public, Zhang Pan secretly hated in his heart, Jiannu is getting stronger and stronger, accounting for a few years in Liaozhong, population, acres of land, silver two major increases, so the armor is complete, and although he defeated Jiannu in Jinzhou and Lushun, he can be compressed in Lushun, and even Tuntian can not raise soldiers, reinforcements, food and salary are all in Denglai, but Wu Zhiwang and Yang Guodong are two villains who are constrained, and now there are less than 2,000 real soldiers under him, There are still hundreds of the remaining Han troops who fled south, Zhang Pan sighed, it is not a crime of war. Zhang Pan is not afraid of Jiannu, but he can't see the hope of exterminating Jiannu and getting revenge.
"Lord Belle, how is it now, please advise." Meler Ezhen Kasik stepped forward and asked.
Mang Gurtai looked at this old man of Jianzhou, tall and thin Kasik, his own descendants, who followed him all the way to the south and the north, and made outstanding achievements.
"Kasik, you ordered four Niu Lu to go straight to Nanguan Wharf in the east and west, cutting off the back road of Lushun, and today we will catch turtles in an urn."
"Huh," Kasik instructed the two Goshkha to go to the front army to give orders.
Zhang Pan carefully looked at Jiannu's military formation, and a trace of doubt rose in his heart, it was all cavalry, there was no infantry army, no clothing, and no artillery, did the three beylers of Jiannu's army plan to use cavalry to fill the trenches and attack the city, if it was a fool to lead the troops, Zhang Pan could still believe that Mang Gurtai followed the old slave to fight in the south and the north, and the battle exploits were all dyed with the blood of the Ming people and the Mongols, and it was impossible to be so imbecile, so it means that there must be a back hand, what is the back hand?
The population of southern Liaoning is withered, the acres of land are barren, and the grain can not be like Liaozhong and Liaoxi to the enemy, and they hold each other for a long time, and all the grain and salary are transferred from Liaozhong, and Jiannu cannot afford to consume, which is also the reason why Zhang Pan and Mao Wenlong and Denglai were caught off guard, everyone thought that after Jiannu conquered Jinzhou, they should restore the people of southern Liaoning, Tianmu and then attack in a big way. However, now it seems that this Sanbeiler really wants to take Lushun, so how does he plan to do it, that is, what loopholes does Lushun have.
Thinking about it, Zhang Pan and the head of the city saw that the Jiannu forwards each sent out hundreds of people to attack in the east and west, Zhang Pan understood that this was the way to cut off his own back, and understood that Zhang Pan couldn't stop it, it was good if he could defend the city, it was impossible to go out of the city to fight, that was self-destruction, as for the refugees on the dock, ask for more blessings, how many people died in Liaoshen, not worse than the current thousands of people. As for the dock sailors, can they go ashore, even if they go ashore, even the Jiannu cavalry who can't even fight in the Denglai battalion, they have a few courages, and they are directly ignored by Zhang Pan. Denglai Army, hum......
"Brother Zhu," Zhang Pan looked at Zhu Guochang, "The southern city wall is low, I'm afraid I will lose, you bring people to reinforce Nanguan, everything please." ”
"My lord, don't worry, with me, there will be Nanguan." The short and stout Zhu Guochang responded loudly with his fists clenched, his eyes blazing.
Of course, Zhang Pan can rest assured, Lao Zhu and Tartar are also blood feuds, and half of the family is lost to Jiannu, this is a good opportunity for revenge.
Zhang Pan watched Zhu Guochang take dozens of his cronies to the southern city, look at the blue sky, maybe Lushun can be broken by Jiannu, but the premise is that enough Jiannu's blood is shed.
