Chapter 125: The Battle of Ningyuan (3)
Sure enough, the convoy from Juehua Island, a total of twenty-two cars, was ordered by the inspector Yuan Chonghuan to carry gunpowder, food, and weapons. Give Ning Yuanwei supplies.
According to the sergeant, it would never freeze in winter before. However, since the beginning of this year, the temperature has been particularly cold, freezing for more than ten miles, and it has been frozen for more than 20 miles in the past two days, directly freezing on Juehua Island.
This group of soldiers was the last group to go to Ningyuan. Because the general of Juehua Island, Jin Guan, had already ordered martial law, the whole army dug the frozen sea, and chiseled the contact sea surface that was fifteen miles long, with a width of about ten meters, which was equivalent to a moat.
It's really evil!
Na Haonan sighed and felt the temperature. It's really low. But it's not easy to freeze the sea twenty miles deep! And it can carry people and cars, so wouldn't the godson's cavalry be able to rush over lightly?
After thinking for a while, Deng Haonan couldn't find the reason, so it all came down to the abnormal climate of the Xiaoice River period! This is the only one that can be explained!
Hi! Daming is enough to carry it!
The house leak happened to rain overnight! All unfavorable situations are gathered together and erupt, and no matter how awesome the characters are, they can't turn the tide!
Except, of course, that Hao Jiao!
At this time, Deng Haonan already regarded himself as a savior, at least he could save the 14,000 soldiers and civilians on Juehua Island in front of him!
"Tang Yu thinks that this Juehua Island can still be used as a supply base?"
Tang Jing didn't understand why Deng Haonan suddenly ran to the beach at first, but at this time, he also understood what Di Haonan was referring to!
Dangbei sighed: "I'm afraid that Yuan Zhicha hasn't noticed the crisis here!" β
Na Haonan said: "I chose Juehua Island because it is close to Ningyuan, and it is an island, surrounded by the sea, bullying Lezi and not practicing water warfare, so as long as there is a naval army, Lezi is helpless!" However. At this time, the climate is cold, and even ice chiseling will not help! On the front of fifteen miles long, the golden crown is concentrated on the whole island, and it can't be maintained for a long time! β
Tang Jing nodded and said, "Your Excellency is right!" Lezi is good at riding and shooting, and only needs to use his bow and arrow to stop the golden crown from cutting the ice for two hours, and then he can walk on the ice. There are no fortifications on Kyaw Hoa Island. It lasted less than half an hour and it was over! β
Then he said worriedly: "The adults are not too worried, it looks like they are already in the chest!" I wonder if I can make my subordinates happy first?.
That Haonan glanced at Tang Jing, this guy is good at observation, being a royal guard is really condescending, he should go to Beizhen Fusi to be a policeman!
"I have a good friend who can help defend Juehua Island!"
Tang Jing said: "I don't know who it is?"
Di Haonan said: "You may not have heard my friend's name!" His name is Deng Haonan, he is good at water warfare, walks between Korea and Ryukyu all the year round, and has a powerful naval army under his command! β
Tang Jing naturally didn't know where Deng Haonan was sacred? I don't even know that it's this eunuch in front of me!
It's just a humble way to say that I have admired the name for a long time. Then he asked: "General Jin also has a naval army on Juehua Island. There are no less than 2,000 warships! β
And that is also a warship?
Na Haonan pursed his lips and said, "He is all small boats, and my friend's men are all big war ships; The minimum one on it is equipped with twenty guns. Dozens of warships are dispatched at every turn, hundreds of warships! β
Tang Jing was a little surprised, and said: "With artillery, not only can you block the target's cavalry, but it can also be used to blast open the ice, so Juehua Island is worry-free!" β
Then he said, "My lord, the shoes are approaching, so it's better to ask your friends to come and help."
Di Haonan nodded, and immediately called a guard. Instructed him to send a letter to "Na Haonan" and ask him to come to Juehua Island to assist in the defense!
Then Di Haonan went to Juehua Island with Tang Jing, and first said hello to the general Jin Guan.
After an hour of galloping, Di Haonan and his party came to Juehua Island.
After the fall of Ming Guangning, the imperial guard was in Ningyuan City. Grain storage is focused on Juehua Island. There is a main island and three small islands in Juehuawu, which are now called Mopan Island, Zhangshan Island, Yanshan Island, a total of square kilometers, of which the main island, 10,000 square kilometers. The main island is "two ends wide." The middle is narrow, irregular gourd-shaped. Alone in the sea. β
The city is rectangular, about 10 meters long from north to south, about 4 meters wide from east to west, about 6 meters high at the wall, and about 6 meters wide at the bottom. There is a gate on the north wall, which leads to the port outside the city, which is a passage for the transportation of grain and equipment; The south wall is equipped with two gates, and the "dragon neck." Connected, convenient for the island to and fro; There are no doors on the east and west walls, which is conducive to defense. There are grain hoards, stockpiles and the remains of barracks for officers and soldiers defending the city, as well as a drainage ditch running from north to south
The sailors of Juehua Island, known as the Boat Division, are composed of small boats and have no artillery. The command was still under the command of the guerrilla staff general Jin Guan. Its role is to guard the grain and equipment on the island, the second is to cooperate with the land division to restore the lost land in Liaodong, and the third is to respond to the city defense of Ningyuan
As recorded in the literature: "Those who build eight miles build the key points of Ningyuan, and even more guard the 40,000 of eight miles when Ningyuan rushes, and Juehua Wu is." And Kou Peep City, the soldiers on the island, there are three forks on the side. Burn its pontoon, and go around it to strike at it. "In the distance, I saw a long row of people on the wall, crowded with soldiers and strong men, more than ten miles long. I saw them picking up all kinds of ice digging tools and digging the ice surface.
The opening was more than two meters wide, and when he saw Deng Haonan and his party coming, the general Jin Guan hurriedly found a long wooden plank to pave a wooden bridge five or six meters wide, and let Na Haonan and others pass.
On Juehua Island, Deng Haonan gave the seal letter to the general Jin Guan and glanced at it. The golden crown was accompanied by his old acquaintance Tang Jing, and he did not suspect that it was fake. hurriedly gave Deng Haonan a big salute.
Na Haonan picked up the golden crown and told the golden crown about the worries just now.
Jin Guan said: "This year's weather is particularly cold, especially in the last ten days. When he learned that the wheel had come early, he thought that Juehua Island was in danger, because the maggot knife was cutting through the ice! It's just that this treats the symptoms but not the root cause. It's easy to find a flaw in the wheel! β
Tang Jing smiled: "Your Excellency has found a flaw!" And a rescue has been thought of! β
Repeat Deng Haonan's words to Jin Guan at the moment.
Jin Guan didn't take Di Haonan, a milky little eunuch, in his eyes at all, and although he was surprised that Deng Haonan was able to go to the front line, he couldn't admire it.
At this time, after hearing Tang Jing's explanation. Jin Guan's attitude towards Na Haonan has turned a hundred and eighty degrees.
"Your Excellency, please bow down!"
There was a loud sound of armor, and Jin Guan, several junior colonels and sergeants knelt down on one knee one after another, and respectfully saluted Deng Haonan. Compared with the salute when I first met Deng Haonan, it is much more "pious".
Na Haonan hurriedly picked up Jin Guan and the others, and said, "Where the duty is, my mother must thank me!" β
Jin Guan and other generals were already ready to be martyred, because they had no way out, and at this time, Na Haonan sent them such good news, and they were immediately very grateful to Di Haonan. And patted his chest and said that he would definitely entertain Deng Haonan's friends and resolutely defend Juehua Island!
After solving the matter of Juehua Island, Na Haonan's heart was much more relaxed.
Seeing that it was not too early, Di Haonan and Tang Jing got up and went to Ningyuan, and Jin Guan waited for the general of Juehua Island to send them out for five miles before stopping.
Looking at Deng Haonan's back, a junior colonel stepped forward and said: "I can't believe it, I thought the imperial court sent a scapegoat, but I didn't expect it to be a horned black!" It's a pity, if it weren't for the eunuchs, I would have been a close friend! β
Jin Guan said: "Pass the order, when the brothers scold the eunuchs in the future, don't bring the seventh father-in-law!" β
"Whoa!"
Looking at the afterglow of the sunset, Jinguan's mood suddenly improved a lot!
β»β»
At four o'clock, Deng Haonan and his entourage arrived at Ning Yuanwei.
Ningyuan City is not big, and Di Haonan was a little disappointed and worried when he saw it. It's a miracle that this kind of town has withstood the attack of shoes.
Yuan Chonghuan built the castle in accordance with the principle of protecting the city with Taiwan, protecting the city with the unification, and protecting the people with the city, and personally set the regulations. The height of the city is 3 feet and the height of the chick is 6 feet. The site is 3 zhang wide, and the upper width is 2 feet.
This castle poured out Yuan Chonghuan's hard work, so it also further prompted Yuan Chonghuan to defend Ningyuan. The determination to live and die with the castle.
Along the way, there are no more retired soldiers and displaced people, and it seems that they should all have entered Ningyuan City.
However, to Di Haonan's surprise, there was a raging fire outside Ningyuan City, and thick smoke was billowing out.
Isn't Nurhachi coming? That Hao Nan was shocked in his heart, if he ran into them, it would be over!
Tang Jing's explanation dispelled Na Haonan's worries.
It turns out that this is the tactic of Kiyono Fortified!
It seems that this tactic also loses a thousand enemies. Eight hundred self-inflicted injuries, if it weren't a last resort, I'm afraid no one would like this tactic.
Yuan Chonghuan mobilized the merchants and people of the city to enter the city, burned all the houses outside the city, and accumulated them, so that his godson could be exposed in the cold and wild. Yuan Chonghuan also targeted Nurhachi for using spies to deceive the city, and personally supervised and informed Cheng Wei to inspect the spies. Dispatched people to patrol the streets and alleys, and mobilized the people on the street to cooperate with the soldiers to arrest them from house to house. Ling Tong sentenced Jin Qibao to send people to provide food and drink for the soldiers defending the city. He also sent officials to lead the merchants and people in the city to prepare materials, transport arrows, stones, gunpowder, etc. The soldiers and civilians also poured water and ice on the outside of the city walls. to prevent shoes from going to the city.
Na Haonan said secretly in his heart: It seems that Ning Yuan's preparations for guarding the palace have long been ready, I have to say. Yuan Chonghuan still has the ability. not only stabilized the hearts of the army and the people, but also guarded against the tricks of the godson.
When I was about to reach the south gate, I only heard the sound of the trumpet cannon three times, the city gate opened, and a large number of Ming troops came out on both sides. All of them are bright and vigorous.
Then, a green-robed civil official walked out first. This was followed by a few civilian officials, followed by a dozen military attachΓ©s dressed as generals.
Seeing that he was about to see the powerful Yang Yuan Chonghuan in history, Deng Haonan's heart jumped suddenly.
So excited!
Di Haonan restrained the wind, turned over and dismounted, and his own small school walked up quickly to lead the horse for Deng Haonan.
Under the historical city of Ningyuan, Liaodong was appointed as an envoy, Ningyuan guards were prepared for all things, Yuan Chonghuan, Ning Yuantong sentenced Jin Qibao, and the general army was full of Gui. The general Zu Dashou, garrison He Kegang. Chen Zhaoqi, the capital secretary of the center and left, Xu Fuzuo, the deputy general Zuo Fu, the deputy general Zhu Mei, the capital secretary Jinshu Peng Bogu, the capital secretary Luo Li, the Korean Zeguan Han Xuan, the former Taoist minister Liu Zhao, the Tongzhi Cheng Weiheng and others, as well as the surrounding army soldiers and ordinary people, all knelt down with Yuan Chonghuan to see the minister's ceremony.
"Greetings to Lord Chincha!"
Na Haonan hurriedly said "no courtesy" and then asked everyone to hurry up.
Although Deng Haonan himself feels that he has gradually integrated into history, he is still a little apprehensive about this large-scale kneeling.
Looking at Yuan Chonghuan, I saw that his face was already covered with traces of wind and frost when he was only in his forties, and his sideburns were gray. He didn't exercise less!
At the same time that Haonan looked at Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan was also looking at Deng Haonan.
Except for surprise, Yuan Chonghuan's eyes and face did not reveal any other information.
This is the scapegoat sent by the imperial court?
Not at all!
Not only Yuan Chonghuan was puzzled, but all the civil and military officials in Ningyuan were full of surprise, and it was difficult to hide it.
No one has ever taken Deng Haonan's mission seriously, but Yuan Chonghuan knew that Na Haonan would stop the retreating soldiers and civilians and send them to Ningyuan, which was not something that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old eunuch could have.
However, with the facts in front of them, Yuan Chonghuan and others couldn't help but believe it.
"This official is in the emperor's opinion" Zhan Jun set the Eastern Meridian and hope that all the ministers will work together to calm Hu Fu as soon as possible, live up to the emperor's grace, and be worthy of 50 million subjects and people."
One sentence flattened the target of Hu Lu's teaching, and all the officials, generals, sergeants, and ordinary people were all excited.
Especially Yuan Chonghuan. Looking at Na Haonan's gaze, it was difficult to hide the excitement.
"Dare not serve your life!"
When everyone nodded in affirmation, Tang Jing shook his head with a wry smile.
Of course, he didn't deny what Di Haonan said, but he also got the news of Na Haonan from Zhu Youxiao and Wei Zhongxian. And the news from Wei Zhongxian's side is the most outrageous, describing Deng Haonan as a stupid big man.
Where is stupid?
Tang Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly at Na Haonan's hidden methods in the eunuch party.
"Your Excellency, please!"
"Lord Yuan, please!"
Na Haonan was modest, and he was still the first to walk in front, because this was etiquette.
Walking through the city gate, Deng Haonan observed the defense situation of Ningyuan City left and right.
Although Deng Haonan didn't know much about it, he had inspected and inquired about the relevant festivals in Shanhaiguan, so he knew a little bit about it.
Ning is far inferior to Shanhaiguan, and the weapons and equipment are far inferior.
In addition to the red-coated cannons that are deployed in the shadows. There are only rolling logs and stones, fire oil and other materials, and I want to use advanced weapons such as fierce fire oil tanks, thunderbolt cannons, and poisonous fireballs, but I don't see them.
Di Haonan sighed secretly in his heart, Yuan Chonghuan not only had no reinforcements, but also no superior weapons to support, this Ningyuan battle. It's far from that simple.
That Haonan was depressed in his heart, he knew that Lao Tzu shouldn't have ventured over!
Yuan Chonghuan knew that the outer city could not completely stop his godson, so there was an urn city behind the outer city, and the red-clothed cannon was obviously replaced by a gun carriage under the cannon, which seemed to be a mobile battle at any time.
Yuan Chonghuan introduced the city defense while asking Deng Haonan to go to the inner city to rest.
Na Haonan refused, but instead climbed onto the drum tower of Ningyuan East City to observe the shape outside.
"Sure enough, it's a dangerous pass."
Na Haonan sighed secretly in his heart, even he, a half-strategic expert, could feel the danger here.
As far as the eye can see, five miles away is the first mountain and Luofeng Mountain, and there is only a pass between the two mountains, which is the place where shoes must pass.
Five miles!
So that's it!
Di Haonan immediately understood that when Yuan Chonghuan built the city, he took into account the range of artillery, and when Lezi came to attack, he could only spread out the formation in front of Shoushan and Luofeng Mountain, so he was just in the coverage of artillery fire.
Yuan Chonghuan is really a talent!
"Why don't you send a sergeant to ambush the light son at the pass that he only saw in Erzhi? Blocking it can also frustrate the arrogance of the godson! β
Yuan Chonghuan said: "My lord! It's just that Ning Yuan's troops and weapons are insufficient, and the defense of the city is insufficient, let alone the ambush shoes! β
Di Haonan nodded, and Tang Jing next to him suddenly asked, "My lord seems to be proficient in the art of war!" Why not do it again. To relieve the siege of Ningyuan! β
Yuan Chonghuan looked at Nian Haonan in surprise and said, "Adults also know soldiers?" Immediately, he felt that there was something wrong with what he said, and said with a smile: "The lower official is ridiculous, the court sent an adult, and he must be a soldier!" β
Tang Jing rolled his eyes, didn't say anything, and said in his heart: It would be good if it was really like that! The problem is that the whole court was confused by Di Haonan, thinking that he was just a scapegoat, and he didn't care about it at all.
Na Haonan smiled bitterly: "Where does this officer know anything about military affairs?" β
Tang Jing looked at Na Haonan with contempt in his heart, and said: "My lord, I have benefited the lower officials a lot this way!" β
Damn brocade guards!
Na Haonan didn't guard against Tang Jing, but was dedicated to guarding against Beizhen Fusi's urging, because Mingming was the "police", but this Tang Jing was far more powerful than Xuanming.
Yuan Chonghuan was obviously very interested in Deng Haonan, and asked Tang Jing at the moment. Zu Dashou and other generals suddenly became interested, and they stretched out their ears to listen.
So, Tang Jing added fuel and vinegar to tell everyone Deng Haonan's deeds, which once again made the brains of Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou and others crash for half a minute.
That's right!
As Deng Haonan expected, Yuan Chonghuan was not aware of the crisis on Juehua Island. In his opinion, Juehua Island was located behind Ningyuan. Only by taking Ningyuan City can Lezi cross the sea and attack Juehua Island near Caozhuang Station, which is closest to Juehua Island.
However, once the sea freezes, this is not possible!
Because the long coastline is frozen. The wheels can directly attack Koh Hoa directly along the frozen zone of the coastline.
Yuan Chonghuan bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, my lord!" The next official is careless! β
"Thank you, sir!" Zu Dashou and other generals were also a little ashamed.
Yuan Chonghuan said: "To be honest, this is also the first time Xia Guan has fought, and he is facing Nurhachi, who has won a hundred battles!" It is inevitable that the lower officials will be suspected of talking about the army on paper, and the adults have a proper grasp of the military affairs, and they also ask the adults to give advice, so as to make Ning Yuan safer."
Zhu Jing and Zu Dashou and others immediately drank.
Na Haonan rolled his eyes and said secretly: Lao Tzu is also the first time! But anyway, the final result this time was victory, so Deng Haonan didn't care.
At the moment, he said: "Shoot the man first and shoot the horse, and capture the thief and capture the king first!" Nurhachi did not know the power and range of the red-coated cannons, and was unprepared. Therefore, once the godson is encamped, we only need to concentrate the artillery. Bombard his Chinese tent and kill Nurhachi. If the leptonium is deflated, the siege of Ningyuan can be solved! β
Thank you for registering a name, I am a precious monthly ticket voted by two friends of China Dragon! οΌD
