Chapter 185
"Bastard! Only the walls of the southern city were blown open, and if you don't attack from the southern city, where else can you attack from there? For his son's cowardly behavior, Nurhachi scolded him.
It's easy to blow up a gap in Nancheng, and a breakthrough is imminent. was hit by an accident, and the most disturbing thing is. This kind of blow belongs to the kind of dry beating, and it can't be repaid.
The Jurchen horse team is invincible in the world, but ......! Nurhachi's army did not have a navy.
This is about to be bloody, watching the arrogant five-masted ship bombarding the sea unscrupulously. The brave cavalry of the Jurchens could only flee in all directions.
After all, there is only one human life, and it cannot be seen like a cannon.
"Amma! If we can blow up a gap in the south city, we can also blow up a gap in the west city or the north city. If the two blue flags continue to be played like this, I am afraid that the damage will be too great. When Gurtai blushed and was about to turn to die, Dolgon spoke.
Mang Gurtai has always been fearless in battle, and the guy who is as proud as a lion is now actually saying to retreat, which shows how dangerous the situation of the two blue flags is.
Looking at this young brother, Mang Gurtai felt for the first time that this kid had said something human, and he should be kind to this kid in the future.
"Amma! The two blue flags are also the children of the Eight Banners, and if they continue to fight like this, they will be wiped out sooner or later. It's all their own siblings, I think it's better to let Lao Wu withdraw to the West Gate, and attack Xicheng with our two red flags. "Dai Shan naturally knew that Dolgon was inviting people to buy people's hearts.
This kind of good thing must not be left to Dolgon's monopoly. The attitude of the two blue flags of Mang Gurtai is very important, and it is important to participate in this kind of thing.
Nurhachi looked helplessly at Nancheng, where the battleship at sea was still spewing tongues of fire. Anyone who dares to approach the Nancheng city will be torn into slag by shrapnel.
I saw team after team of Eight Banner disciples, covered in artillery fire. Nurhachi's heart is pumping!
"You retreat to the west to avoid artillery fire, and break the deadlock from the west as soon as possible. I have a feeling that Li Xiao is coming. If you can't destroy the Liao army today, you won't be able to concentrate on fighting Li Xiao tomorrow. Got it? Nurhachi reluctantly agreed to Mang Gurtai's request.
"Huh!" Mang Gurtai made a sign and went out with Amin to command the two blue flags to withdraw from the southern city.
"Amma! I'll go to Xicheng and keep an eye on it! "Dai Shan went out with him, this is a good opportunity to have a good relationship with Mang Gurtai, and he doesn't plan to let it go.
"Dolgon, go to the North City. Let's see if we can open the gap there with two yellow flags! "Nurhachi has already decided that he can't take Jinzhou and retreat tonight. Thousands of people who died were not afraid of anything, and they didn't have to worry about running out of firewood.
Robbery is such a thing, who stipulates that it will succeed every time?
"Huh!"
They are all gone, and only Li Yongfang is left in the tent.
"Great Khan! In fact, there is not much money and food in Jinzhou City, even if we bite Jinzhou, we will suffer heavy casualties and losses. ”
"Humph! I don't know, but what else can be done now. If we can't take Jinzhou tonight, we will withdraw our troops. Once Li Xiao came, it would be difficult for the whole army to retreat under the cooperation of the inside and the outside. Nurhachi glanced at Li Yongfang angrily.
The purpose of this dispatch was not in Jinzhou, but in Shanhaiguan and even in the rich Hebei. Only by killing the main force of the Liao army in Jinzhou can we grab a handful of Daming territory with peace of mind.
This year's year is not good, and God always shows his face. This great Liao River in Liaodong is always unstable, and if you don't rob it, you can only go hungry.
A king who does not ensure that his people are fed and clothed will not be supported. Especially in Nurhachi, a regime that was just beginning to be established, it is very important to ensure that everyone has food and warm clothes to wear.
To put it bluntly, ghosts are willing to fight not just to grab things.
Nurhachi, who was born and grew up in war, actually understands better than anyone that the only reason for starting a war is money, and there is more money.
Pure homicidal maniacs are actually very rare, and there is a huge conspiracy of interests behind almost all wars.
This attack on Jinzhou was no exception, and if Jinzhou was pulled out, Hebei could be looted and the food crisis of the Jurchens could be solved. Attacking Jinzhou was never Nurhachi's goal, but a stumbling block to his destination.
"Great Khan! The minister has already found out that the Ming army has learned to be obedient this time. They had the advantage of the sea, so their food supplies were actually stored on an island.
In this way, as long as the sea is still in the hands of the Ming army. Grain can be continuously sent into the city through the Jinzhou wharf. In fact, we are not qualified to besiege Jinzhou City to death. Those cannons were able to hold the docks firmly, just like they do today. ”
"On the island?" Nurhachi's eyes narrowed suddenly, if according to what Li Yongfang said, this is simply an unsolvable situation. Jinzhou is simply impossible to conquer.
"Yes, that island is called Juehua Island. Lord Babel was also imprisoned on that island, and when the minions' men went to visit Babel, they found that there was a mountain of grain.
Cloth and silver are piled up from storehouse to storehouse. If Juehua Island is captured, we will have no problem eating gold for half a year. ”
"Humph! The red-haired warships have all sunk, and now you say? Nurha snorted and pointed at Li Yongfang's nose. In fact, he also knew in his heart that even if the red-haired people's ships were there, it would be difficult to capture Juehua Island.
If the red-haired man was really that powerful, he wouldn't have been so badly defeated last night.
"Great Khan! In fact, you don't need a boat to attack Juehua Island. Facing Nurhachi's fingers, Li Yongfang was not only not afraid, but also smiled.
"What?" Nurhachi looked at Li Yongfang like a fool, he didn't need a boat to attack the island, he swam over? In this weather, when the water turns into ice, it becomes a popsicle before you can swim in the water.
"Juehua Island is dozens of miles from the mainland, but the sea freezes in winter. The minions have already sent someone to see it, and the sea icemen on the shore have no problem running on their horses. ”
"Is that true?" Nurhachi was so happy that his snot was almost bubbling, and Li Xiao was in Shanhaiguan. The main force of the Liao army is in Jinzhou, and Juehua Island is in the sea near Ningyuan City. It is dozens of miles away from Ning's hiking.
What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Attacking Juehua Island is to see who dares to help. The Ming army stayed in the fortress and guarded it, because the Ming army could not defeat itself. In the field, his Eight Banners were afraid of anyone.
"Great Khan! This kind of thing a slave dares to lie? Don't want to die? ”
"Li Yongfang, if you successfully take Juehua Island this time. Ben Khan is your head work! Nurhachi was immediately happy, compared to the hard bones. The island of Juehua Island should be much easier to attack than Jinzhou City.
"Xie Da Khan! The minions must have died for the Great Khan. Li Yongfang knelt on one knee and was so excited that he struck a swing.
The horn of the Great Khan's tent suddenly sounded, and the Baylors, who had just left, hurried back in wonder. The Great War is going on, and people are dying every moment. What the hell is this going on!
Li Yongfang took a look at the gap and ran back to his tent. Seeing the anxiously waiting green beads, he looked left and right to see no one, and the ears attached to the green beads said, "It's done!" The Great Khan had decided to attack Kyaw Wah Island and was convening the Beylers to discuss the matter. ”
Lu Zhu's eyes widened, but he didn't expect Nurhachi to drill into it along the sleeve laid by Li Xiao.
"What are you doing stupidly? Go back to the chief soldier immediately, and Houjin will be finished. If you don't make some contributions at this time, how can you mix in front of the chief soldier in the future. Seeing Lu Zhu stunned, Li Yongfang raised his leg and kicked it.
"Huh! The minions are going to the army of the chief soldiers! "Luzhu has a special waist card on his body, which can be shuttled throughout Liaodong casually. Now, she is the messenger of Li Xiao and Li Yongfang.
When Luzhu ran out of the barracks, he was confronted by Mang Gurtai. His rough face was covered with soot, and his beard was also scorched, and he looked miserable!
Green Bead let go to the side of the road, and after Mang Gultai and his own soldiers galloped past, he whipped his horse and galloped south.
"Quiet! Ben Khan got the news that Babel Huang Taiji was on Juehua Island. And there was a lot of food hoarded on that island of Juehua, not only grain, but also silver, cloth, and so on.
Ben Khan decided to withdraw his troops from Jinzhou and go straight to Juehua Island. If the Ming army dares to come out of Jinzhou, it will be even better. It is much better for us to kill them in the field than to surround them in Jinzhou City and gnaw them slowly. Nurhachi had a confident smile on his face.
After waiting for a while, he finally got Nurhachi out. But when they heard the words from Nurhachi's mouth, everyone was stunned.
What's that? After a day and a night and a morning, thousands of people died and said that if you don't fight, you won't fight? Now it's time to change and fight a Juehua Island that no one has ever heard of. Where is the island? How to fight? Swim past?
"What's the noise? Li Yongfang, tell me what you know. Seeing Li Yongfang approaching the military tent, Nurhachi simply asked Li Yongfang to repeat what he had just said.
When Luzhu arrived in Ningyuan City, it was almost dark. Without too much nonsense, he raised the token in his hand with the last ray of heavenly light.
The soldiers waiting in Ning Yuan checked the token, and for the first time, it was like red fireworks were released in the sky.
A Ming army outpost more than ten miles away saw the fireworks, and immediately took out red fireworks and set them off.
Fireworks were set off from outpost to the south until they reached the Shanhaiguan Wharf.
"Big brother, look at the fireworks." Li Hu excitedly pointed to the sky, and the red fireworks hung gorgeously in the sky and slowly fell.
"You're still smart!" Li Xiao turned his head and glanced at Sun Chengzong. The old fox is the old fox, and Nurhachi was counted by Sun Chengzong to the bones.
The more wives there are, the more sons, and the number of sons in Nurhachi is a bottleneck that most people cannot reach in their lifetime.
Saving his son was actually a very secondary reason, and asking for gold, silver, and grain was Nurhachi's main purpose.
As for the son having one more or less, it is really not a big deal.
"Is the ship loaded?" Sun Chengzong just glanced at the fireworks lightly and got on the boat.
"The soldiers are all on board, and we will be able to reach the Jinzhou dock in the middle of the night. Ao Ye has already brought two regiments to the island, and it is impossible for the Tartars to defeat Ao Ye even if they try their best.
This time it's dangerous! If it weren't for your old age, Jinzhou would probably be finished. ”
"Explain to Man Gui, if you meet a Tartar, you are not allowed to fight. His more than 1,000 people are not enough for a spoonful of tartar stew. Our capital is small and we can't afford to lose it. ”
"Huh! You just can't get enough of it! Li Xiao and Sun Chengzong said and boarded the warship together.
Zu Dashou saw that the sky was getting dark again, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat. He was worried that the Tartars would once again pour in from the gap, and the battle would be a day's war. Thousands of Tatar soldiers died, and the losses of the Liao army were as high as 10,000.
Most of the casualties on the city walls were due to the cannon fire and muskets of the red-haired men. The casualties on the streets were caused by the Jurchen Tartars. The fierce Jurchen Tartars were indeed difficult to deal with, and there were several times when three or four Ming soldiers surrounded a Jurchen and slashed at them, but they were all cut down.
It is not a fluke that the Jurchens were able to achieve today's results.
It was getting dark, and the boys with the dynamite bags began to eat dinner. Dinner was hearty, pork stew with Chinese cabbage. The white-flour steamed buns are enough to make, and if you want to drink, you can also drink a bowl of steamed sake that is said to be produced in Phi Island.
On weekdays, this bowl of wine may be a month's worth of being a soldier. Now it has become a big road goods, as long as you are willing to participate in the death squad, anyone can drink a bowl.
The death squads have no other task, that is, when there are many Tartar soldiers. Rushing to the Tartar soldiers with a lit explosive bag, killing one and killing two to earn one.
In view of the fact that the head-on chop really can't be cut, Zu Dashou can only come up with this helpless solution. When it was performed during the day, the effect was very good, and now the Tartars will take the initiative to run away when they see these guys holding the package, and they will not fall in love with the fight.
Bows and arrows were shot at them, and cotton armor gave them some protection. Although wounded, they will continue to charge. Unless it hits the vital point, it will be difficult to stop the Ming army with the goal of death.
Those people were crazy people, with explosives bags in one hand. The other hand will hold you tightly, even if the knife cuts at someone. When the dynamite bag goes off, you never have a chance of surviving.
This kind of unfatal style of play brought great damage to the Houjin army. If it weren't for the existence of these madmen, Jinzhou City would have fallen in the afternoon.
It was completely dark, and the moon didn't seem to be much bigger than it was yesterday. There was a glimmer of moonlight, but the whole city was still pitch black. Only where there is a fire that burns, there is some fire.
Maybe it was because it was so dark, but the fires were so bright.
The battlefield that had been noisy for a day suddenly fell silent, and the silence made Zu Dashou a little uncomfortable. He didn't know what the Tartars on the other side were doing, so he could only inspect his men over and over again. Riding horses all over the city, cheering up his soldiers. After inspecting the city defense, he walked around Jinzhou City.
finally saw Yuan Chonghuan who did the same thing as him!
"The Tartar soldiers suddenly stopped moving, did you send someone to take a look?" Looking at the pitch-black outside the city, Zu Dashou asked hesitantly.
