Chapter 339: Breaking through to the Southwest

Zu Dashou, who was tall and bearded, stood in the southwest corner of Dalinghe City and looked west with a telescope. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The flags of the two red flags fluttered there, and Belle Yuetuo was stationed there, and now the two red flags are also the loyal dogs of the two yellow flags, and Zu Dashou glanced at it fiercely.

Zu Dashou turned to the south, where the flags of the two blue flags danced in the wind, and he could even faintly see the big tent of the rear and Shuobeile Mang Gurtai.

Zu Dashou's vague hope in his heart is here, if the brigade enters the defense and returns to Jinzhou, this is the best and almost the only way out.

"Big brother, brothers are ready." Zu Dabi, who was also tall and stout, approached, moving his shoulders and legs to prepare.

"Brother, this time you went out of the West Gate to make a feint, and the noise was louder, so that the two red flags thought that we were going out of the city there." Zu Dashou admonished.

"Big brother, don't worry, my brother knows." Zu Dabi didn't care about the Dao.

"Da Bi, we are brothers who fight tigers, that is, you can kill our ancestral army back to Jinzhou without annihilating the whole army, and the eldest brother is also helpless, there is no fierce general here who can fight more than you." Zu Dashou's eyes flushed.

"Big brother, I know, I just can't go back, it's a big deal that I'll be a good man again in eighteen years." Zu Dabi arched his hand, turned around and walked away quickly.

Zu Dashou also came to the south city gate with his guards, and the main road in the door hole to the city gate was densely packed with Ming soldiers.

They waited silently, only the confused eyes showed that they were not confident in whether they could rush out.

He Kegang, who was of medium stature and slightly thin, silently stayed in a large number of cavalry near the city gate, and after opening the door, the cavalry was the first to rush out to suppress the formation, so they were also at the front.

Zu Dashou came over. His righteous sons Zu Runze, Zu Zeyuan, and Zu Kefa came closer. Wait for his command.

"I've seen my father." Several people hurriedly saluted.

"Hmm. Excuse me. Zu Dashou smiled and patted them on the shoulder very affectionately, these are his righteous sons, and they are also the backbone of his control of the ancestral army, he has always relied on them very much, and he has also given real power, these people have always been extremely loyal to him, and it is time for them to do their best for the ancestral family for him.

"I've seen the chief soldier, all armor on my body. I can't do it all. He Kegang hugged his fists on the horse.

"Ke Gang, even at this time, you are so stubborn," Zu Dashou smiled and shook his head, He Kegang is a good material to be a deputy, that is, too old-fashioned, destined to not achieve great things, but it is the deputy that every coach looks forward to.

"Etiquette cannot be abolished." He Kegang cherishes words like gold.

"Vice General He, you stay in the city and support the two places in the southwest. If the southern city breaks through, you will immediately lead the rear army to follow. Zu Dashou said solemnly.

"Subordinates obey orders." He Kegang gave up his hand, and he hesitated slightly. "My lord, this time our army is only 13,000 people, 7,000 people broke through in Xicheng, of which 5,000 are just farmers in battle robes, and 6,000 people in Nancheng break through two trenches and two blue flag camps, I'm afraid...

He Kegang did not continue, but the meaning of his words was obvious, and he was not optimistic.

"Hehe, there is nothing this town can do," Zu Dashou laughed miserably, "Now that Jiannu has besieged the city for more than half a month, they have dug two deep trenches, and since yesterday they have built a wall between the two trenches in the south city. ”

"Nope." He Kegang is still a dry return.

"In this way, our army can only wait for the assistance of Liaozhen and the imperial court, and the ones who can come to the aid before I run out of grain and grass are Liaozhen, Jizhen, and Denglai Army, there is no problem in raising tens of thousands of soldiers in these places, and this town also believes that they will come to help."

Speaking of this, Zu Dashou raised his eyes to look at the gloomy sky,

"It's just that Ben General thought about it, and couldn't think of how they could be undefeated and break the siege under the attack of Jiannu's cavalry, and Vice General He said which family could withstand the attack of Jiannu's tens of thousands of cavalry."

"Well," He Kegang was speechless for a while, Jiannu tens of thousands of cavalry armor attacked, he could besiege the opponent on all sides, so that the opponent faced the impact of the cavalry on all sides, and the Ming army couldn't bear it. "Maybe there's one."

"Hahaha, it seems that Vice General He also thought of Denglai Zhao Lie." Zu Dashou a little southern.

He Kegang nodded.

"Indeed, Zhao Lie of the Denglai Army has recreated slaves twice, even my Liaozhen has to be convinced, but once he was in Zhuozhou against Tabai, who only had two thousand cavalry, and this time he was against Leng Geri, who only had one thousand cavalry, and he could deploy the formation safely both times, as long as it was enough to deal with one side of the enemy."

Zu Dashou shook his head,

"If Zhao Lie comes to help, if I am Huang Taiji, I am afraid that I will gather 20,000 cavalry armor to meet the battle, and under the siege from all sides, Zhao Lie will never be lucky. This is a matter that the general has also thought about, even if the Denglai army comes to the aid in a big way, it is absolutely unfortunate. ”

"It seems that only our army can fight their way out." He Kegang said helplessly, since he said so, he agreed with Zu Dashou's statement, and the Ming army who came to help didn't have to count on it.

"But you can suppress the formation in the city, don't let the other two Jiannu take advantage of the chaos to attack the city." Zu Dashou stepped on the war horse.

He Kegang arched his hand, "Don't worry, as long as Kegang is still there, Dalinghe City is here." ”

He Kegang turned around and climbed to the top of the city.

Zu Dashou nodded, He Kegang is in charge of the southern city, and the deputy general Zhang Cunren is in the northern city, he is still down-to-earth.

"Start." Zu Dashou shouted.

Boom, boom, three cannon shots, and shouts of killing came from the direction of Xicheng, all of which were the movements of the Ming army, and there was chaos there.

Zu Dashou closed his eyes and waited, the noise of Xicheng was loud, and the slightest sound of bows and crossbows breaking through the air could be heard clearly.

Zu Dashou didn't move, still waiting.

Suddenly, the sound of Jiannu shouting loudly and fighting came, and Zu Dashou opened his eyes.

"Kaesong." Zu Dashou shouted.

The south gate of the Daling River opened quietly, and hundreds of cavalry rushed out, straight into the long trench more than a mile away.

Zu Zerun lay sideways on his horse and undulated, but his eyes were watching the movement of the Qing army in the long trench.

The Qing army on the tower at the long trench blew a short and high-pitched horn, and at the same time the flag of the blue flag waved wildly.

There is a tower every 100 steps at the long trench, and there are dozens of Jiannu soldiers on it, which are on the upper and lower floors.

At this time, seeing the Ming cavalry of the brigade approaching the trench, they released arrows almost at the same time, and the Ming cavalry also immediately returned fire, and the arrows of both sides staggered and began to spread casualties.

A few hundred cavalry still had an advantage over the Jiannu soldiers on the two or three towers, and quickly suppressed them.

At this time, more than 2,000 farmers who had built the city trotted towards the trenches with sacks full of soil, and they also tried their best, and they also knew whether they could fill the two long trenches as soon as possible.

When they arrived at the edge of the long trench, they threw the sacks into the long trench, and the soldiers on the side shouted loudly, hurry, hurry, and kept urging them, making these people more impatient, and some of them simply bumped into each other and made a mess.

After all, there are a lot of people, and two thousand sacks are thrown into it to fill the distance of dozens of paces just once, although it is not very flat, it is a few feet lower than the flat ground, and it is very unsteady, and it can barely surpass the people.

The peasants hurried to refill the sacks with shovels near the trenches, and they were so fast that they wished to exhaust all their lives in this short breath.

At this time, more than 1,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry troops rumbled over.

"Quick, quick, step through the first trench, attack the second trench, hurry." Zu Zeyuan, Zu Kefa, Liao Chengzu and other adults were all loudly urging the soldiers.

If the towers on the second long trench cannot be cleared, then the trench cannot be filled safely, and the peasants are too dead and wounded, and whoever fills the trench, the soldiers, they will have to storm the defense line of Jiannu.

At this time, the Jiannu soldiers on the tower in the distance reacted, and they ran from a distance, and when they reached seventy paces, they began to shoot at the dense Mingren ranks with their bows.

At this time, the soldiers and farmers all have the same role, and whoever is injured counts.

At this time, killing and injuring the peasants delayed the filling of the trenches of the Ming people, but it was even more urgent.

Arrows rained down, you must know that the Jiannu soldiers can fire more than a dozen bows in one breath and then rest their breath, and the more than 200 Jiannu reinforcements on both sides also caused many farmers to be injured, they have no armor to protect themselves, and they are injured if they encounter arrows, and the screams come and go.

Their ranks were in disarray, after all, they had never experienced a battle formation, and they could not calmly dig and fill in the trenches in the rain of arrows.

Zu Dashou and his family had already caught up from the outside at this time, and he knew that there were only two thousand soldiers, and the rest were composed of farmers, and Zu Dabi's department would not buy him too much time.

"Kefa, let the archers shoot three rounds of arrows on both sides and destroy these bastards." Zu Dashou roared loudly.

Two hundred Jiannu can make the digging stagnate, and after a while, the team of Jiannu will rush out, how to play.

Zu Kefa hurriedly ordered the crossbowmen to return fire at the reinforcements of Jiannu on both sides, and the thousands of bows and crossbows were against more than 200 people, and after a while, Jiannu's feathered arrows were sparse.

The farmers, who had no casualties, hurriedly got up and continued to dig the earth, and many people fell on the ground and were screaming and rolling.

A thousand cavalry had already begun to cross the trench from the flat ground of dozens of paces, because the ground was uneven, it was still very soft, and the speed of passing was very slow, and some of them fell into the trench because of this, that is, the end of a broken bone and tendon.

Zu Dashou was anxious, but there was no way, so he could only pass step by step, which was also the role of the first trench.

When the infantry began to pass, Zu Dashou also crossed the trench with the team, and when he crossed the trench, he immediately saw his subordinates and the Jiannu soldiers guarding the second trench begin to shoot frantically, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded as if the sky was obscured.

At this time, a majestic horn sounded, the Jiannu camp one mile behind was opened, and the Jiannu cavalry of the brigade began to rush out of the camp, and the sound of people shouting and neighing horses could be heard in the distance, and the Jiannu armor soldiers who continued to rush out made Zu Dashou's heart sink more and more.

The blue-bordered Baylor flag fluttering at the end signaled the arrival of the Lord. (To be continued.) )
