Chapter Thirty-Three: Walking through the motions, Haug besieges the city

"Lord Belle, I'm afraid that the Ming dogs in this Guanning City are really about to be walked into dogs by us."

A flattering Tartar soldier flattered Haug.

"Hahahaha, that's natural, to say that Father Khan's plan can be described as a clear plan, the children of the Eight Banners have gone into battle one after another, I can't see two days, the Ming Dog in this city is estimated to be tired and watch us attack the city but there is no way."

"What Lord Belle said is extremely true, I'm afraid that by that time, Minggou won't even have the strength to lift a knife."

"Okay, let's not talk about it, go to the front and see which flag is attacking now."

"Back to Lord Belle, it's a blue flag."

"Oh? Sure enough, the children of the Eight Banners took turns to fight, and even this blue flag was qualified to go up and make up a circle. ”

With that, Haoge stood in the distance with great interest and watched as the blue flag-inlaid Yijia Laezhen led his five Niu Lu to attack Guanning Pass.

Of course, the entire battalion knew that this so-called attack was just a formality, the purpose of which was to consume the defensive strength of the Ming army in Guanning Pass on the one hand, and more importantly, to implement Huang Taiji's strategy of constantly fatigue the enemy army.

Although the Overseers set up by Huang Taiji were present to watch the battle, everyone could see that the attack at this time was just to cope with errands, and the Ming army on the city wall was exhausted but barely able to cope with it.

But anyone knows that if there is not much turnaround, the Ming army on this city wall is just the end of a strong crossbow.

Eventually, they will be wiped out by the Tartar soldiers in the final general attack.

Move.

It is a gamble of Huang Taiji, more precisely, he came to a conclusion after so many years of latent understanding and understanding of the Ming Dynasty system.

That is, if you don't attack the Jingshi where the Ming Dynasty emperor Lao'er is located, then the defense of Liaodong can be said to be full of loopholes, and even local soldiers come to support Liaodong.

More often than not, it's just an empty phrase on paper.

"Kill the dog!"

"Kill!"

The blue-flaged army attacking under the city wall saw the slogans shouting loudly, but it was just to make an appearance for the Huang Taiji behind.

As one of the weakest Manqi in the Eight Banners, the Blue Banner clearly knew at this time that once he died here, his women, land, and slaves would become a big bargain for other Manqi for nothing.

So when attacking, he is even more cringe.

This made the Heavenly Tiger Army, which had just come up to take over the defense of Guanning Pass, be said to be extremely troublesome, although it was powerless to fight back in the face of the Heavenly Tiger Army's musket in the battle in the Wild Wolf Valley.

But the Manchurian soldiers encountered at that time at least dared to charge.

Where is it like this group of guys in the city now, there is only a sound, but there is no one to see.

No matter how sharp the musket is, it also has an attack range, not to mention that Meng Tuo doesn't want to expose the news that Guanning Pass has been taken over by the Heavenly Tiger Army to Tartar too early.

So the scene became so embarrassing.

The Eight Banners soldiers below were not in a hurry to attack, they just shouted the slogan of rushing and killing, and the Heavenly Tiger Army on the city wall was not worth shooting for one or two reckless Eight Banners.

You and I both get a nice respite.

This made Hauge, who was watching the game from a distance, very annoyed.

"What the hell is the blue flag, no one dares to come forward and charge, what's the use of shouting and killing from afar."

"It's a shame to give them a blue flag."

The guards on the side also interjected at this time.

"This blue flag is the weakest of the eight flags, and its generals are all weak, I think if we don't directly change our blue flag to teach them a lesson, maybe they can capture Guanning Pass in one fell swoop."

As soon as the words came out, Hauge's eyes lit up instantly.

At this time, the Ming army defending on the Guanning Pass was already vulnerable in the eyes of Haoge, and it was better to lead the soldiers of the Blue Banner led by himself to attack the city than to let the blue flag act here.

After all, the day before, when the Zhenglan Banner took advantage of the night to attack the city, there were already brave soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner who had climbed the city wall, but the damn battalion trumpeters had a problem with their eyes.

didn't see that the blue flag was already in the ascendancy, and stupidly blew the horn of substitution.

As a result, the soldiers who were finally under the blue flag retreated one after another.

If you agree in advance with the trumpeter in charge of blowing the trumpet this time, let him not change people at any time, and wait for himself to take the Guanning Pass in one go, even if there are some losses.

Presumably, his father Khan will not blame him, and he will be able to replenish his own troops from other full banners.

Just do it.

Hauge didn't hesitate.

After beckoning the entourage behind him to call the trumpeters to give them some instructions, he asked the trumpeters to blow the trumpets in advance, so that this group of blue-inlaid flag soldiers with poor acting skills left the stage early.

Borrow some siege equipment from other banner owners who have built them in advance.

Hauge rolled up his sleeves and ran to the Blue Banner camp to make his last speech before the battle.

"The Ming dog on the city wall of Guanning is exhausted, if you want me to say that even if we go to pick up their girls' pants, I'm afraid we won't have the strength to resist!"

Such rough words caused the flag soldiers below to laugh one after another, and they suddenly laughed together.

"Let's set an example for their other flags with the blue flag, not to mention anything else, the first to climb the city wall will reward ten Han women, 100 acres of fertile land, 100 Nikan, 100 taels of gold and silver!"

"Vow to attack Guanning City in one fell swoop, not those who dare to retreat! Kill! As for when to step back! Unless I, Hauge, dies in battle! Otherwise, I will never retreat! ”

"Never back down!"

"Never back down!"

As the son of Huang Taiji, the blue flag can be described as the root of the seedlings, as the absolute leader of the blue flag, Haoge also carried private goods during this trip.

That is, he successfully ignored Huang Taiji's request to move forward and retreat quickly, not only bringing more baggage, but more importantly, bringing more people.

As a result, the attacking force, which was originally only 20,000 men this time, made Hauge continue to stuff his own people into Riga, and it became 25,000 men.

And the extra 5,000 flag soldiers can be said to be all blue flag soldiers.

As a result, among the Eight Banners outside Guanning City, the Zhenglan Banner under the command of Hao Ge is actually the strongest.

This is also the confidence of Haoge to dare to lead the army to directly attack the Guanning Pass.

"Attack!"

"Woohoo! Whining! ”

In the thick and heavy sound of a horn as low as the roar of a wild ghost, Hao Ge led his Zhenglan Banner soldiers totaling nearly 8,000 people, pushing offensive equipment and attacking towards Guanning Pass.

Unlike the previous situation where there were always a few Niu Lu walking through the motions, such a huge army instantly made all the Ming troops on the city wall of Guanning nervous.

Because he was afraid that the Heavenly Tiger Army had less experience in fighting with the Tartars, and it was easy to suffer losses when it came time to defend, although Bi Zisu was very free and easy when he handed over the defense to Mengtuo, he not only left behind many veterans who had rested in the intervals.

He also went up to the city wall himself, and watched the battle with Mont at the pass of a city wall.
