Chapter 255: I'm afraid of my teammates like pigs

All the roads between Ningjin and Jin have been almost cut off.

Under the situation of bluffing, it is still very likely that Ningyuan's Guan Ning army will interpret the exaggerated plan of attacking the heart countless times as: "Jinzhou has fallen, and the Tiancong army is under the city of Ningyuan." ”

Huang Taiji's preset is beautiful and naïve, but it does have a high probability of success.

Even if it doesn't work, it's okay, anyway, you don't need to spend money to attack your heart.

However, Yuan Chonghuan, who is well aware of the solidity of Jinzhou, is determined not to fall for his dog.

Jinzhou has Zu Dashou to guard, Zuo Fu Zhu Mei to assist, Zhang Jipu, Huang Chongzhen, Wu Sangui and others as the backbone, Zhou Ji, Peng Hairpin, Luo Li, the best people in the artillery battalion, have also been dispatched.

In addition, Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui, the ancestral family slaves and Wu family slaves who wanted to cover up their nieces and uncles.

To sum up, Yuan Chonghuan concluded that Jinzhou's city defense force was a little stronger than Ningyuan, which he personally guarded.

As the core position on the first line of defense of Jin Bingfeng after Guan Ningjin on the defense line.

In order to give Zu Dashou and his subordinates the confidence to stick to it, Yuan Chonghuan almost spared no effort to move all the strategic materials that he could collect in the past year or so to Jinzhou.

Therefore, the strategic materials in Jinzhou at this time are more than Ningyuan.

The fierce generals guarded, the soldiers supported, the grain and weapons, all available, and the treasury was sufficient.

With such a full military force, Yuan Chonghuan did not ask for or approve of the decisive battle with Jiannu when he went out of the city.

However, if you just hold on, you will never be able to break through in just a few days.

Not to mention anything else, just look at Huang Taiji, who is under the banner of the Houjin Great Khan, even though he put on an extremely large and tough posture, he never dared to surround Ning Yuan like the slave chieftain.

But he only dared to block the Dading Gate in the north far away, and his weakness of heart can be seen.

Therefore, when he heard that "Jinzhou has fallen" and was "persuaded to surrender" by Huang Taiji, Yuan Chonghuan scoffed.

It's just that perhaps in return for Huang Taiji not killing Chongzhen and other spy envoys in the past, Yuan Chonghuan did not kill Hou Jin Lai, but only drove him out of Ning Yuan.

However, for those Jurchen light cavalry who shot arrows of the heart in Ningyuan City, Yuan Chonghuan ordered the artillery battalion and gave a resolute head-on attack.

Huang Taiji knew that it was impossible to make Yuan Chonghuan surrender, and seeing that the plan to attack the heart did not work, looking at the strong city wall of Ningyuan and the dark and faint cannon port at the head of the city, he was actually a little worried in his heart.

However, he was unwilling to retreat, so he had to bite the bullet and forcibly wave his army to attack Ningyuan.

But Ningyuan's Guan Ning army, under the personal guard of Yuan Chonghuan, was united and well prepared.

When the Jurchens attacked, they fired cannons in unison, firebolts in volleys, crossbows covered, bed crossbows fired pointed, and rolling stones and skulls poured together.

Huang Taiji came in a hurry with light equipment and did not carry any large siege equipment, so as soon as the attackers and defenders engaged, the disadvantage of the Jurchens not being good at attacking the city was completely displayed.

After several rounds of offensives, the Jurchens not only made no progress, but instead lost their troops and increased casualties.

Even later, Huang Taiji, who had natural confidence in the battlefield glory of the Jurchen clan, was shocked to see a scene that was enough to make him miserable.

I saw a large number of Jurchen soldiers with two yellow flags, who would rather kneel down and prostrate on the ground, bearing the merciless whipping of the forehead, but they did not dare to advance even the slightest bit towards the artillery fire at the head of Ningyuan City.

"How can this be reasonable, the Han people in Guanning dare to brave the enemy's artillery fire to advance, and my female Zhenjian An Ke is lagging behind?"

After a brief period of consternation, Huang Taiji was extremely angry.

Then a heart full of disappointment followed, filling his proud heart.

Huang Taiji, who wanted to "capture Guanning" and declare that he was competent enough to serve the power of Houjin Xinhan, was full of powerlessness for this strong defense line after all.

However, when the war-weariness spread across the two yellow flag camps, and Huang Taiji was about to reluctantly choose to retreat, he was pleasantly surprised to find that a support soldier appeared in the rear of Ning Yuan, and he was going to aid Ning Yuan step by step for the camp.

Huang Taiji, who didn't get the slightest benefit in Yuan Chonghuan's hands, immediately started the idea of supporting the soldiers.

According to Fan Wencheng's speculation, this should be a reinforcement from Shanhaiguan.

The ordinary Houjin scouts did not take much advantage in the-for-tat confrontation with the Guanning scouts, so Huang Taiji sent the white-armored scouts to investigate, and finally confirmed this.

After exchanging tacit despicable glances with Fan Wencheng, who was lying around, Huang Taiji gave the last military order to storm Ningyuan.

The proud Jurchens of the Two Yellow Flags had long been holding back their anger at the Han serf army attached to them, but they did not dare to oppress too much under the severe pressure of the new Great Khan.

This time, however, the great Tiancong Khan wisely acquiesced.

The Jurchens of the Two Yellow Banners finally got their wish, and were able to ruthlessly drive the Han serf army subordinate to them to launch a fierce attack on Ning Yuan like almost suicidal.

The walled fortress of the Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly extremely strong without loosening and disintegrating from the inside.

Not to mention the almost straightforward charge of the Han serf army, even the sturdy armored slaves and even the Eight Banners Foot Cavalry, without the assistance of large siege equipment, they could not make any progress.

Therefore, Ning Yuan remained motionless as usual, while the serf soldiers of Houjin were quickly defeated.

Yuan Chonghuan stood on top of the sturdy sentry post that Chongzhen had suggested to build, frowning and taking in the fake offensive directed and staged by Huang Taiji, as well as the feigned defeat, but he couldn't figure it out.

But soon, when he turned his head following the fingers of his guard, and saw that a reinforcement had appeared behind Ning Yuan's side at some point, and was slowly moving along the mountain road on the west side, all his doubts were solved.

Yuan Chonghuan's frowning brows were completely unfolded almost instantly, but what followed was not joy, but utter speechlessness and anger, as if he had met a pig teammate.

In the stunned eyes of Yuan Da and the other guards, the handsome, who had always been gentle and elegant, couldn't help but scold in extremely vulgar words: "What a group of stupid pigs who have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures!" ”

Yuan Da couldn't figure out why the commander, who had been trying to combine various anti-Jin forces, always had a negative attitude towards reinforcements, until he saw that the reinforcements seemed to have detected that Huang Taiji was defeated by the commander, so he retreated in a panic.

After a commotion, two groups of people rushed out, and at a speed that left almost no room for them, the Jurchens who were pretending to be defeated at a glance to the discerning people chased after them headlessly.

"Don't chase! That's a trap! ”

Yuan Da opened his throat and reminded angrily, and in a hurry, he even forgot to use the tin horn.

However, in the midst of another violent storm that suddenly hit, he and the rest of the guards used iron horns, but to no avail.

They could only watch as the two groups of infantry combined, and there were significantly more infantry soldiers than cavalry reinforcements.

It was extremely difficult to catch up with the serf soldiers who were deliberately left behind by the Jurchens, and only a few were killed, and they didn't even have time to shout to their heart's content.

was surrounded by the Jurchen cavalry who came in a roundabout way, and they were ruthlessly strangled in the wind and rain.

Heaven and earth have become chaotic because of the storm, but they cannot annihilate the bright blood-red flowers that bloomed at the last moment of life.

Yuan Da, who had witnessed the white pole soldiers fearlessly rushing to the Houjin army formation in Liaoyang, but fell in a pool of blood one after another, couldn't bear to see this scene, but he tried hard to widen his eyes, and his eyes were about to split.

"I said it was a trap!"

A line of tears quietly flowed from the corners of his eyes, mixed with a trace of blood, washed away by the rain.

The rest of the Yuan family's personal soldiers all clenched their fists, and Yuan Chonghuan himself trembled slightly, not knowing how to dare to think.

Fortunately, the other three groups of men and horses in the reinforcements quickly merged into one place, and with a fearless attitude that almost did not seek survival, they brazenly rushed into the battle group in the rain curtain to rescue their comrades.

All the pro-soldiers turned their eyes to Yuan Chonghuan, and the Guanning soldiers above the city also turned their heads to look at the towering sentry. Everyone knows that there, Guan Ningjun's absolute and only soul is standing.

Guan Ning is one, in the face of this hard-fought reinforcement army that is obviously from Shanhaiguan, save or not?

If it is not saved, then whether it is the previous two or the next three groups, it will undoubtedly be wiped out.

If it is saved, then the Jiannu army, which is extremely good at chasing at the tail, is very likely to take this opportunity to break through the Ningyuan City Gate that they have dreamed of breaking.

Yuan Chonghuan's personal soldiers finally knew why the always elegant marshal was so angry.

Because the moment he saw this reinforcement, he deduced the worst-case outcome that was very likely, and he knew that this decision was too difficult to make.

However, the stubborn genes in Yuan Chonghuan's bones made him make a decision almost instantly.

——Draw 2,000 from the 5,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry in Ningyuan City, attack from the Ying'en Gate on the west side, rush to the enemy position, and relieve the rescue troops. The remaining 3,000 were assembled in the long street of the city, ready to attack from Dadingmen at any time to meet the enemy.

Ying'en Gate is the only way for reinforcements to enter Ningyuan, and if they dare to approach Dading Gate, they will be shot mercilessly.

——Ten red-coated cannons and all tiger squat cannons were concentrated on the Dading city wall north of Ningyuan and the Ying'en city wall on the west side.

- The whole city is mobilized, and all the young and strong are issued weapons, ready to fight to the death.

Under the command of Yuan Chonghuan, the largest military town under the name of the Guanning Army in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty was like a war machine, running quickly and ruthlessly.

The rain curtain in the sky not only could not stop the determination of the people of Guanning Army to become a city, but on the contrary, it achieved their firm belief in the decisive battle to the end.
