Chapter 241: Jin Ge Iron Horse - The Battle of the Dangerous Mountain Fort (Part II)
"Zhongwei is two miles southeast of it. Mao Lilong's army formed a circular formation to defend the fortifications, and the Houjin cavalry that they kept running was densely packed with countless people. According to Chen Jisheng's strategy, Mao Wenlong quickly cut through the chaos, abandoned the rear camp, and ordered the 3,000 Chinese army to drag the edge of the Huang Taiji army to death, and kept the remaining 10,000 or so horse infantry troops to form a defensive circular formation in a short period of time.
Shieldmen were on the outside, five or six spearmen sticking sharp spears six or seven meters long out of their shields, musketeers and archers in the center, and occasionally the muzzles of a few cannons were exposed.
In the middle is a tall handsome flag, a huge "hair." The word waives in the wind under the north wind. However, there was a bit of a trembling meaning, perhaps because every soldier knew the danger at the moment!
Under the handsome flag, Mao Wenlong's face was full of mourning. This time it was no better than last time, and he knew that he would definitely not be able to run out. I only hope that the rescue cavalry sent out can find Zu Dashou and Kong Youde, although they know that even if they come to rescue themselves, it is tantamount to a moth to a fire, but after all, it is a hope, and Mao Wenlong is not exempt from vulgarity at the moment.
"Mao Shuai!" Geng Zhongming looked at the Houjin cavalry surrounded by layers, and said to Mao Wenlong with a pale expression: "Huang Taiji has sent someone to persuade him to surrender again!" This time, it was the Han Army Flag with Yellow Flag Owner who was promised to Mao Shuai, who was in charge of 50,000 troops! ”
"Mother's big handiwork!" Mao Wenlong sneered. I can't believe I'm so valuable right now.
"It's just a matter of fame!" Chen Jisheng snorted and said: "Huang Taiji is different from his father, Nurhachi excludes the Han people, but Huang Taiji wants to unite the Han forces and use them for him. If Mao Shuai can defect to him, then who in the Ming Dynasty will not defect to Houjin in the future? Defecting to Huang Taiji? ”
Although Chen Jisheng's words are straightforward and harsh, they are telling the truth. Although Mao Wenlong and others don't want to admit it, they have to face the reality. The emperor Taiji is completely a daughter buying horses, how can Mao Wenlong see this point, so he doesn't have to mix it up.
Geng Zhongming said: "Mao Shuai, just say it!" How to decide that the brethren will listen to you! It's a big deal to die on the battlefield today, and he will still be a good man eighteen years later! ”
"Good!" Mao Wenlong shouted, quite satisfied with Geng Zhongming's answer. Only Chen Jisheng and some other staff members understood in their hearts that Geng Zhongming was just saying that it was not as good as singing. If Mao Wenlong really wanted to surrender to Huang Taiji, Geng Zhongming might not be able to say it. He and Kong Youde secretly traded with Huang Taiji behind Mao Wenlong's back, sold military supplies at a high price, and secretly communicated with Huang Taiji, but Mao Wenlong alone didn't know.
Since Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde were both Mao Wenlong's retainers, and Mao Chenglu supported them, Chen Jisheng and others had no evidence to directly prove the fact that the two of them collaborated with the enemy, so they did not dare to act rashly.
I only heard Mao Wenlong shouting: "Instead of staying infamous, it is better to die on the battlefield and win a hero!" ”
When the officers and men of the three armies heard this, their morale was high, and their shouts and cheers shook the sky.
When Geng Zhongming heard this, he was dumbfounded. He originally wanted to persuade Mao Wenlong to surrender, but looking at Mao Wenlong's posture, he was afraid that he was ready to be heroic.
Outside the array, Huang Taiji quietly looked at this qiē.
"I didn't expect this Mao Wenlong to come to this point, and his bones are still very hard!"
Dai Shan sneered: "It's not the Great Khan Aicai, I didn't do it!" Mao Wenlong knew that the Great Khan didn't want to kill him, so he got it! In my opinion, as long as we come to the real thing, Mao Wenlong will definitely be so frightened that he kneels and begs for mercy! ”
"I don't need to!" Huang Taiji smiled slightly, looking very confident.
"The Great Khan has already made arrangements! Fan Wencheng said lightly: "Every qiē is in the hands of the Great Khan!" ”
Azig asked puzzledly, "Could it be that the Great Khan has any clever strategy?" ”
Huang Taiji smiled mysteriously, and Fan Wencheng continued: "Last time, I successfully blew up Wang Gong's factory in the capital of the Ming Dynasty and saved Da Beile, which was to use the dark line that the Great Khan had already deployed!" ”
Dai Shan and the others were shocked when they heard this, they didn't expect that Huang Taiji would be so unfathomable and began to pave the way for his sweat position in the Nurhachi era.
This kind of far-sightedness really made Dai Shan and the others hate and fear from the bottom of their hearts, and only Huang Taiji was literate among them, and they were not as good as him. In terms of resourcefulness, they are far behind.
Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "The Great Khan has successfully subdued Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, and now Kong Youde has led the army back to Haizhou Wei, and will soon return the entire Haizhou Wei to us." And even if Mao Wenlong doesn't surrender, Geng Zhongming will control him on time, let's see! ”
Dai Shan and the others glanced at each other, all of them in shock. Throughout the afternoon, the Houjin army only besieged but did not attack, causing great psychological pressure on Mao Wenlong's subordinates. At the beginning, the morale inspired by Mao Wenlong was gradually weakened, and it was replaced by fear.
At night, in order to put pressure on Mao Wenlong, Huang Taiji transferred twenty Longwei cannons aimed at Mao Wenlong's central army formation. These cannons were captured from Mao Wenlong's heavy battalion, and the Houjin cavalry didn't know how to fire the cannons, so they just fired a few cannons indiscriminately. However, Rao was like this, and he still scared Mao Wenlong's subordinates half to death, and the soldiers were panicked and unstable.
Mao Wenchuan "was in a hurry, waiting for reinforcements but there was no trace"
Geng Zhongming took advantage of the fact that everyone else was on the defensive side, and quietly approached Mao Wenlong and restrained him.
The sudden change suddenly upset everyone's nerves, Mao Wenlong stared at Geng Zhongming with surprise on his face, and wanted to shout but was gagged.
Of Mao Wenlong's remaining 10,000 troops, more than half were Geng Zhongming's subordinates. From this point alone, it can be seen that Geng Zhongming has long been tired. It's a pity that when Chen Jisheng and the others understood, it was too late.
Geng Zhongming controlled Mao Wenlong, and Geng Zhongming's subordinates quickly controlled other soldiers. All the soldiers of Dongjiang Town surrendered.

Opposite Uiju, on the banks of the Yalu River. The water of the Big Worm River flows from west to east and joins the Yalu River. The four banners of the Mongolian army and the two battalions of the Han army sent by Huang Taiji were stationed at Zhenjiang Fort at the mouth of the Great Worm River. It is said that it is Zhenjiang Fort, but in fact, there is no longer any fortress, and there are even ordinary people nearby, and the whole thing is a desolate ruin.
Although Huang Taiji began to pay attention to production, the catastrophe brought by the Nurhachi era has destroyed the civilization of the Liaoshen land, and except for Shenyang, which is like a city, other areas have become grazing land. Huang Taiji did everything possible to restore agriculture and towns, but the population was too small and the effect was limited, and it was only concentrated in the villages and towns around Shenyang.
In Yizhou, opposite Zhenjiang Fort, the Liaodong Dispatch Army Headquarters began to deploy to encircle and annihilate this Houjin army since it received the order of the General Staff of the Liaodong Governor's Office.
First of all, as the cannon fodder unit of the Liaodong Dispatch Army, that is, the Korean servant army, under the cover of the Jiangfang fleet, while the Great Worm River was not yet frozen, quietly landed at Tangshan Fort in the middle reaches of the Great Worm River, and made a feint attack on Phoenix City. The Korean servant army consisted of 8,000 cavalry and 10,000 pikemen, which served as bait to lure the Mongol cavalry into pursuit.
Then, Liaodong sent troops to send the Black Armor Elite Cavalry from the upper reaches of the Yalu River and the mouth of the ancient Great Wall to the west bank, and quickly maneuvered to the vicinity of the dangerous mountain fort in the upper reaches of the Great Worm River to stand by. The Mongolian army will not all go after and kill the Korean servant army, and the division of troops will not be too much, estimated at about 10,000 or 20,000. Once the Mongol army takes the bait, 20,000 heavy cavalry will surprise the Mongol cavalry from the flank. With the strong combat effectiveness of the heavy cavalry, even if there is little experience, it is enough to inflict heavy losses on the Mongol army.
If the situation is good, then after eating a part of the Mongolian army, then eat the rest in turn, so that the task of annihilating the Mongolian army can be completed.
Gulus Shibu and the others were staying in Zhenjiang Fort, enjoying their leisure every day, when they suddenly received a call for help from Phoenix City, saying that a large number of enemy troops were attacking Phoenix City.
Gulus Habu then urgently convened a meeting to discuss countermeasures. The cavalry of the Mongolian army thought very highly of themselves, and most of the generals never took the Liaodong army seriously.
Especially the single handle, who has been screaming to fight a decisive battle with the Liaodong Army, will meet the black armor elite cavalry and duel the male and female.
"According to intelligence, the opposing cavalry is no more than 8,000 people. The equipment is not like the legendary tall horse, steel helmet and steel armor! ”
"I heard that there are 10,000 spear infantry!" Genger said:. What kind of Liaodong Army is this Akari? Not even as good as the Ming army! ”
"From this point of view, the other party may not be the Liaodong Army." Gulus Habu said: "It is estimated that he came out of Phi Dao, go to reinforce Mao Wenlong!" ”
"Isn't Mao Wenlong's host in Gaizhouwei?" Shan said: "I can't think of so many troops on Phi Dao? I think it's the Liaodong Army! It seems that the Liaodong Army is not as strong as the rumors outside! ”
Gurushabu nodded, and he felt justified in what everyone said. However, in the general direction, he is still very calm.
"Our purpose is to prevent the Liaodong Army on the other side from coming! As long as this task is completed, don't think about anything else! ”
In the end, Gulus did not dare to make a decision, and kept the original plan unchanged.
However, a single handle is not a stable master.
"This Yalu River is so long, our people can't guard against it at all. I think this enemy is the Liaodong Army, and they will definitely quietly take the waterway to avoid us and capture Phoenix City by surprise. This is also one of their plans to send troops to cooperate with Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong, so if you don't ask, once the Great Khan blames it and spoils the Great Khan's plan, don't say that I didn't remind you."
Gurus Habu was stunned when he heard this, and he was right to think about it.
"What do you mean!"
"There is nothing to think about! , Xiao Dan said:. Isn't it 8,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry? To deal with this kind of army, there is no need to use a large army, I will lead my headquarters to come to the rescue and guarantee that they will be destroyed within three days! ”
Just saying this, the others immediately thought that he wanted to take the credit for himself, after all, seeing that it was going to snow, and he should have hunted for the winter before the heavy snow. Now that he has been sent here, he can't do anything, and everyone is anxious.
Seeing this, Gurushi Shibu immediately hesitated again, thinking about defending the Yalu River steadily, and thinking about eating this weak army to fight for the tooth sacrifice.
Eventually, Gulus decided to send a single white flag and a white flag to Phoenix to the rescue.
