Chapter 268: Burning Quang Ninh City

Although Quang Ninh City has experienced the last war, it still stands there, and there is no difference in sight. It's just that the streets of the city are very depressed, and there is no figure in sight, and occasionally there will be cavalry from Jiannu roaring by. There are also blood stains on the wall on the corner, indicating that the place has just experienced a terrible battle, and occasionally dead bodies can be found in the corner. Some of the doors of the houses on both sides of the street were open, and all the tables and chairs inside were overturned to the ground, and there was blood on the walls of the houses.

In Quang Ninh City, the original most prosperous street no longer existed at this time, and after the fire, the entire street no longer existed. There were ruins everywhere, and burnt black wood lay across the middle of the street, and occasionally charred corpses could be seen in the street, emitting a pungent smell. Occasionally, a wild dog would come running over and pull the dead body a few times, apparently starving.

Not far from this street is the residence of the Quang Ninh defender, which has become the garrison of Jiannu at this time, and most of the troops are stationed here. In the hall of the back house in the mansion, Dolgon was drinking tea, and Dolgon liked this kind of fine tea very much, and gently put down the tea bowl, Dolgon smiled and said, "Dordor, can you not walk around?" Say whatever you want. ”

"Second brother, we have been in Guangning City for three days, and the situation on Father Khan's side is also very critical, we can't always wait here!" Unlike Dorgon, Dordo had no interest in tea, preferring the spirits of the Ming dynasty.

Looking at the anxious Dordor, Dorgon smiled and said, "Calm down, don't worry too much, Father Khan doesn't need us to worry about it." ”

"We took away a banner of men and horses, Huang Taiji took away a banner of men and horses, there is still a flag of people and horses in Kaiyuan, and there are only five banners left in Father Khan. Although they have formed an alliance with the Mongolian tribes, they can not send many soldiers and horses, and they followed Huang Taiji to 20,000, and the rest is about 40,000. Father Khan can command 90,000 horses, but Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar Department brought 150,000 horses, we should go back to help Father Khan earlier. Dodor sat down in his chair and looked at Dorgon with an anxious expression.

Shaking his head with a smile, Dolgon said in a soft tone: "Duoduo, for the general, first of all, Mount Tai will collapse before and the color will not change, and read more books in the future!" Father Khan's thirteen pairs of armor raised troops, and there were hundreds of battles over the years, but few defeats. Salhu has come over when it was so dangerous, let alone now? If it weren't for Father Khan's trick this time, would Lin Dan Khan come? Lin Dan Khan, who has 200,000 horses, is afraid of his father Khan like a tiger, so he naturally has his reasons. ”

Nodding slowly, Duoduo still frowned and said, "But even so, we can't stay in Quang Ninh!" I always feel bad about doing nothing like this now! ”

"Don't worry, soon we will have something to do, the people of the Ming Dynasty will not let us occupy Guangning City." Smiling confidently, Dorgon said indifferently.

"Second brother, if someone from the Ming Dynasty comes, what should we do? Do you want to stick to Quang Ninh City? Looking at Dolgon, who looked indifferent, Duo said hesitantly.

Shaking his head slightly, Dorgon said with a smile: "Our Dajin is cavalry, and we are good at field warfare, and defending the city and attacking fortifications have always been our shortcomings. In comparison, although the army of the Ming Dynasty is not good at field warfare, it is much stronger than me in defending and attacking cities. Not to mention anything else, as long as the army of the Ming Dynasty brought in more than a dozen artillery pieces, how long could this Guangning City last? ”

Looking at Dorgon for some reason, Dorgon asked hesitantly, "Then what do we do?" ”

"Our things have been almost packed, and when the army of the Ming Dynasty comes, we will leave Quang Ninh City. Set a fire in the city before leaving, and we went back the way we came. Ten miles outside Quang Ninh City, we can wait for the army of the Ming Dynasty, and if they dare to chase after them, then we can play with them! Smiling indifferently, Dorgon said expectantly.

"But second brother, if the Ming army besieges Guangning City, won't we be able to get out?" Looking at Dorgon with a frown, Dorgon said worriedly.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Dorgon said helplessly, "Dord, you! I really don't know what to say about you, what are our Daikin cavalry good at? We have fifteen thousand elite cavalry, how many Ming troops can hold off our onslaught? ”

Nodding slowly, Duoduo was about to say something, but another soldier outside ran in quickly. The soldier came into the house, got down on one knee, and said loudly, "Report! Dutong, the Ming army is coming outside! ”

Dorgon glanced at Dorgon and said with a smile, "How's it going?" I'll just say that we won't be idle, the Ming Dynasty won't look at the people who occupy Guangning City, you see it's coming now, right? ”

Smiling at Dolgon, Duoduo said anxiously, "Second brother, let's go up to the city wall!" ”

Nodding slowly, Dorgon slowly stood up and strode outside.

Outside the city of Guangning, the Ming flag fluttered in the wind, and under the flag, two generals sat on horses, and behind them were groups of Ming soldiers. Every soldier was in good spirits, and it could be seen that they were elite, well-equipped, and well-trained.

In front of the Ming army, there are more than 30 artillery pieces lined up, all of which are Huzun cannons from the shape of the guns, and the artillery invented by General Qi Jiguang back then. More than thirty artillery pieces were lined up there, looking very imposing, and the gunners were already ready on the side, waiting for the order of the general behind them.

Zuo Liangyu, who was sitting on the horse, looked quite relaxed, and glanced at Luo Cheng beside him, Zuo Liangyu asked curiously: "General Luo, where did these people get the artillery?" Good things don't want me to order? Why don't you get me a few doors! ”

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Luo always said helplessly: "General Zuo, don't embarrass me, these artillery pieces were all pulled from Shenyang City for the purpose of attacking Guangning City, and they were all used by the Qi family army back then." Xiong Dashuai is a baby abnormal, and after this use, he must be sent back intact. How can I have such a good thing, how many more do you want from General Zuo? What good things do I have for you but those stupid ones on the walls? ”

Slowly shaking his head, Zuo Liangyu said helplessly: "The court is poor! If you can't make ends meet, you can't pay your military salaries, let alone make firearms. In the past, when Zhang Taiyue was there, the imperial court treasury was full, and it was only then that the Qi family army had the prestige. Give me such good equipment, I Zuo Liangyu can probably train an elite soldier, that is the Zuo family army! ”

Pointing at Zuo Liangyu with a smile, Luo has always said helplessly: "Just think about it, I don't know if there is a day?" ”

Smiling indifferently, Zuo Liangyu said confidently: "You don't know this, don't say that there are good things I won't tell you, let's set up a new army in Liaodong, do you know about this matter?" ”

Shaking his head slightly, Luo always asked curiously, "General Zuo, is this matter true?" ”

"Of course, how could I, Zuo Guangdou, tell a lie? Of course it's true, the last time Sun Dashuai came to Youtun, I had already inquired about this matter with Xiong Dashuai. This matter was settled a few years ago, and the emperor was the master, but this New Year has not stabilized, and this matter has been delayed. A few days ago, I heard that Chen Hong and Chen Gonggong next to the emperor have come, unlike the previous eunuchs, the previous eunuchs all came to Liaodong to scrape the land, but now it is different, Chen Hong and Chen Gonggong are here to send money. This time, the emperor planned to vigorously rectify the Liaodong Army, prepare a new Liaodong army, and establish a new cavalry unit in Liaodong. I have already said as Xiong Dashuai and Sun Dashuai, and my requirements are not high, 10,000 cavalry commanders. Zuo Liangyu looked at Luo Cheng and said with a happy expression.

Contrary to Zuo Liangyu's expectations, Luo always did not show any excited look, but a solemn face. Frowning and thinking for a long time, Luo Cheng sighed softly and said: "Luo is not like General Zuo, although he has been in Liaodong for many years, he is really not good at cavalry training, otherwise he must fight hard." ”

Laughing loudly, Zuo Liangyu said with a cheerful face: "This has nothing to do with it, after the cavalry is established, there will definitely be many generals who will fall into the cavalry ranks." At that time, it will be the time for General Luo to show his talents, and General Luo's talent will be obvious to all, and there will definitely be a place for General Luo among these pawns. ”

Nodding slowly, Luo said with a smile: "This commanding foot soldier is Luo's strength, and Luo naturally won't let it." ”

"General, the artillery is ready!" Just when the two of them were about to say something, a general walked over quickly, saluted the two people, and said respectfully.

Nodding slowly, Luo Yi said with a smile: "General Zhang has worked hard, so let's start!" ”

Looking at the figure of the departing general, Zuo Liangyu asked with a smile: "Who is this?" Why was he so polite? ”

"General Zhang is not my subordinate, he is from Shenyang City, and he is the one who commands these gunners. How can such a person be disrespectful? This is all a treasure in Xiong Dashuai! Luo always looked at Zuo Liangyu with a smile and said in a brisk tone.

"It's a baby! I Zuo Liangyu just don't have such a person, if there is, it will definitely be a baby! Zuo Liangyu looked at the back of General Zhang and said with a laugh.

When the two of them were talking and laughing, the smoke suddenly billowed in the city of Guangning, and the rising fire could be faintly seen in the smoke. Seeing this scene, Zuo Liangyu and Luo consistently glanced at each other, and both of them saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Immediately after that, the two of them heard the shouting of killing in Beicheng, obviously Jiannu came out of Beicheng, smiled bitterly and shook his head, the worst result came.
