Chapter 146: The Battle of Jinzhou (7)
Updated: 2012-12-06
At the head of the city, the wounded soldiers and corpses were being carried down by the young men, and the blood on the corpses dripped down the bricks all the way, staining all the roads. There was a young man who was carrying a wooden pound and ran in a hurry, slipped and fell, and the whole person rolled down to the city, but the people under the city were quick to see and hold him, otherwise he would definitely knock his head and bleed.
In fact, the casualties of the Ming army were not large, except for a dozen who were shot and died, most of the other wounded could be treated, and they could not be disabled. On the contrary, the casualties of Qingzhuang were a little more than those of the Ming army, and the total was only more than 100 people.
The blood on the ground and the cries of the wounded made it the first time that the people of the city had witnessed the horror of war so closely. But when they found that the city no longer transported the wounded and corpses, the people were a little surprised, but they heard the soldiers outside the city shouting to kill, thinking that the casualties of the officers and soldiers in the city must be very large.
………
The intensity of the battle was far less than any battle that Shi Dayong had experienced before, and the casualties were small and negligible, so he did not replace Cao Bianjiao's battalion from the city, plus it was the real female and real Tartars who were about to attack the city, and the combat effectiveness was not comparable to those cannon fodder of the Han army, so Shi Dayong ordered a battalion of Zuo Liangyu to immediately go to the city to prepare for battle. He also ordered Ge Qing, Wang An, and Li Dashan to stand by under the city and replenish the city at any time.
The large-scale attack of the Jin army was exactly what Shi Dayong wanted, and asked people to set up the golden dragon banner, in order to provoke the Jin army and ask them to fill the city wall of Jinzhou with their lives.
He wanted to use the tall Jinzhou city wall to kill and injure the Eight Banners as much as possible, weaken Huang Taiji's strength, and turn his Daling River Battle from a crushing victory to a fiasco!
He wanted to use a victorious defense battle to restore the confidence of the soldiers and people of Jinzhou, reduce the shadow brought to them by the destruction of Zhang Chun's army and the reduction of the Liaodong army in Dalinghe City, and bring good news enough to comfort him for Emperor Chongzhen in Beijing.
Otherwise, the young son of heaven is only afraid that he will not think about tea and dinner for a few more days, and he will be haggard.
"Brothers, this city is not difficult to defend, as long as we are not afraid, no amount of Tartars can attack it! But everyone has also seen that the city is full of fake Tartars, traitors who help the abuse, and it is the real Manchu Tartars who are about to attack, but everyone doesn't have to be afraid, whether it is a real Tartar or a fake Tartar, they are all raised by their fathers and mothers, and they didn't give birth to one more head and one more leg, so they are coming, as long as we don't panic, they just come more, and we can't do anything! ”
While cheering for the soldiers loudly, he led Cao Bianjiao and other officers to patrol the city to check the gaps caused by the Han army's siege.
The young men also sent supplies from the city to the city in an orderly manner.
………
In the distance, the sound of the golden army's horn became more and more urgent, and thousands of cavalry abandoned their horses and walked on foot, pressing up against the city wall in black.
The gunners who had suffered the loss of the archers of the Jin army were now lying on the battlements and looking down, and once they found that the archers of the Jin army were raising arrows, they shrank their necks and did not show their faces for a long time.
The Han soldiers of the Jin army did not dare to move lightly, they were waiting for the arrival of the full army, and only put a few arrows on the city from time to time.
The ladder and the rest of the crashing cars were all concentrated, and Li Guoheng knew that since the Eight Banners came up, there would definitely be a dead soldier armor who rushed to the city, these people were all fierce soldiers of the Eight Banners, each wearing several layers of armor, and they were not afraid of the guns and arrows of the Ming army at all. When he was in Guannai, the city he was guarding was captured by this dead soldier.
Although Li Guoheng was surprised by the tenacity of the Ming army in the city, he did not believe that they could withstand the Eight Banners, and the city would not be broken sooner or later.
Before the Eight Banners came up, he had to gather the ladders and shield carts, otherwise those impatient bannermen would not be able to bear it alone.
…………
After Qiu Hejia and Chen Ang led a group of officials from the governor's yamen and the prefect's yamen to the city, they found that the Jin army outside the city had not retreated, and a large number of Jin troops were moving towards the city wall. Suddenly, the faces of some officials changed, and they trembled and shrank to consider whether to go down to the city immediately, but seeing that the governor and the prefect continued to visit the soldiers there, they could only follow hard.
From time to time, one or two arrows came from overhead, and the frightened officials instinctively lay on the ground, and when they found that the arrow was flying towards the city and fell down the city, they hurriedly got up again and made a false alarm. Facing the contemptuous gazes of his companions and passing soldiers and young men, he also blushed a little, a little ashamed.
After finding Shi Dayong, Qiu Hejia complained that he shouldn't have set up the captured Golden Dragon Banner, that is, he was Hongtai, and seeing the Ming army so ostentatious, he would also take Jinzhou at all costs to wash away the shame.
Some complained: "Dayong, holding Jinzhou is, why do you want to provoke Hong Tai, in case it is out of control, but how is it good?" ”
"Lord Futai is right, as long as we hold the city, we will be able to hold the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city, and we can also explain to the imperial court. General Shi, why do you have to provoke Jiannu, if you don't defend it, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians will be tired by you! Chen Ang's tone was very dissatisfied, and he was very dissatisfied with Shi Dayong's move to provoke Jiannu.
Shi Dayong ignored him, bowed his hand to Qiu Hejia, and then said in a deep voice: "If you don't kill some real Tartars, your lord will definitely be implicated in the defeat of the army, and then the court will send a new governor, if you are more courageous than your lord, if you are a cowardly and afraid of death, what can you do if you are the last general to hold Jinzhou?" If Jinzhou Ningyuan is given up as in the Apocalypse, what will happen to hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians? Therefore, adults can't go, otherwise, Liao affairs will be even more unbearable. ”
After saying that, I regretted that I didn't cut some full heads on the battlefield of Xiaolinghe, so that I knew that the Jin army suffered heavy casualties, and because there was no head certificate, people could not be trusted. If he could have ordered someone to cut off the heads of a few thousand gold troops and send them to the capital at that time, it would be the annihilation of Zhang Chun's army, and it would have been Zu Dashou who led tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to reduce their gold, which would not be a big deal for Chongzhen.
Regret is regret, there is no regret medicine in the world, all I thought of at that time was to gather some remnants, collect some materials and horses for defending the city, where would I think of cutting some heads to repay the merits.
But if you can inflict a heavy blow on the Jin army under Jinzhou City, you will definitely be able to cut a large number of heads, not much, even if there are only a thousand Jiannu heads, you can always put some gold on Qiu Hejia's face, so as not to be dismissed by the angry Chongzhen.
The Han army attacked the city, and there were one or two thousand dead and wounded, but they were all Han people, and they could only be seen as fake Tartars with braids on the back of their heads. Otherwise, it is useless to hold Jinzhou, Qiu Hejia will definitely be dismissed, this Jinzhou City can protect his head, but it must not hide the defeat of Zhang Chun and Zu Dashou.
Qiu Hejia was dismissed, and his backstage fell, will the new governor reuse and trust himself like Qiu?
The Battle of Jinzhou is the only chance for me to become famous!
Shi Dayong needed the brains of the Manchurians to really win the opportunity for himself to really win the Duzhen Jinzhou.
Everything Zu Dashou has is what Shi Dayong needs.
Shi Dayong's kindness moved Qiu Hejia for a while, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, it is already destined for this official to stay, why should you put the whole city in danger for me alone." ”
Shi Dayong turned around and pointed at his soldiers very proudly, and said confidently: "The art of war is cloudy, and you will be born after death." Lord Futai rest assured, this Jinzhou, the last general will be fully sure to defend it, and the last general will definitely let Jiannu shed their blood under Jinzhou City! ”
