"Pull up the canopy! Don't let water get into the breech of the gun, fix the gun! ”

"Hurry up, hurry up! If you don't want to get wet, you can be neat! ”

At the head of Shenyang City, when He Shixian was wearing a robe and a hat to urge the soldiers at the head of the city, the storm shrouded the entire land of Liaodong.

At this time, in Shenyang City, there was no military order from Zhu Youzhen.

However, because Xiong Tingbi had a premonition when the heavy rain came, he ordered all the people to enter the city at the beginning.

Outside the city, opposite the stone arch bridge of the four gates of Shenyang City, there are large camps that have established complete fortifications, and the fortifications such as sheep's horn walls, wooden horns, moats, car camps, and horses are very perfect.

The four battalions were stationed with a total of 62,000 soldiers and horses including Qi Jin, Yang Wenyue, Wu Aheng, and Qi Yuanbi, while 44,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in the city.

The sudden storm caught everyone off guard, and the Qin Tianjian who accompanied the army was not omnipotent after all, and could see the sky through the clouds.

Therefore, no one doubted the officials of Qin Tianjian, but they tried their best to do their part.

Such a storm could not be stopped even in the stretching Shanbai Mountain, and the heavy rain washed away the dense horseshoe on the mountain road, leaving only horseshoe-shaped puddles......

Rainy nights are often the most terrifying, and they are accompanied by muffled thunder, as well as the occasional lightning and the sound of rain.

It seems that throughout the ages, most of the rebellion was carried out on rainy nights, and presumably, it was the rain on a rainy night, which could wash away the bloodstains......

Weining Camp, the stone fort that is the eastern gateway of Liaoyang City in the Ming Dynasty, is extremely silent under the heavy rain at this moment.

A famous soldier standing in the corner tower, wearing a robe, and wearing a hat was doing his duty loyally, and here, before Qi Jin was transferred, three battalions of Shanxi soldiers were specially transferred to garrison, and seventy-two Furlong machine guns were arranged.

In addition, this place is adjacent to the Taizi River in the south and backed by Changbai Mountain, and only the east and west have a long road less than 100 meters wide, so the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Although the sudden heavy rain made the artillery and guns of the Ming army unusable, as the soldiers at the head of the city built a rain shelter, wiped the breeches of the cannons, and prepared the ropes and gunpowder of the oiled paper, the city became solid again.

It's just that inside the dark castle, it seems to be calm, but in fact there is an undercurrent......

"Do you really want to rebel?"

"Then Zhu Youzhen won't let us live, then find another way to live!"

In a courtyard in the fort, more than a dozen Liao merchants gathered in the house with gloomy faces.

Zhu Youzhen ordered the people of Liaodong to prohibit going out of the city at will, and after walking, all the Liao merchants' livelihoods were cut off.

They will not think that it is because they resold materials to Houjin that they were targeted, but think that Zhu Youzhen did not give them a way to live.

Since there is no way to live, let's go out of the way!

"In this Weining camp fort, there are three battalions in shifts every day, and there are only 500 people stationed at the north and south gates, but there are 1,000 people in the east and west, with our strength, ......"

A fifty-year-old merchant with an unsightly face kept rolling his eyes, as if he wanted to say that it was not so easy to attack inside and outside.

It was only as he was saying this that a forty-year-old merchant opposite him suddenly raised his hand and took off the hat on his head, revealing two small braids on the top of his head and a pinch on the back of his head, which looked extremely ugly......

"The Great Khan has already ordered people to secretly send the armor stomach before Zhu Youzhen arrived in Liaodong, and now there are 800 sets of armor stomachs in my house, and there are 500 northern captives in the city, all of which have been bought by the Great Khan."

"The main action is fast enough, take the east gate, and the Great Khan will personally lead a large army to attack the city."

"On the way from the Weining battalion to Liaoyang, an ambush has also been arranged, as long as we keep our mouths tight, no one will know that it is the east gate that we opened."

This businessman raised his chin, and the appearance of winning the victory invisibly gave everyone a sense of confidence.

"I can become a monk for thirty people......"

"I'm out of thirty-six ......"

"I'm out of fifty-two ......"

"I'm out ......"

For a while, many businessmen said the number of families they could leave, and the businessman with the money rattail pigtail immediately smiled when he heard this:

"Okay, two hours later, the army that has changed guards will sleep, and we will kill at the east gate!"

"In this rainy night, the sound is noisy, the arrows can't be heard, and the fireworks can't be released, as long as the officers and soldiers who hit the bell are killed, the east gate is at your fingertips."

"Having said that, this Shanxi barbarian stationed in Weining Camp Fort is not easy to provoke......" A businessman who was worried about opening his mouth, but did not want to shave his hair, sneered:

"If the Zhejiang soldiers and Sichuan soldiers are stationed, it is better to say that although the Shanxi soldiers and horses have been practicing for a year, they are not so vigilant after all, so there is no need to worry."

As soon as the hair-shaving merchant said this, other businessmen also followed.

Everyone took advantage of the rainy night, carefully guarding and avoiding guards, and ran towards their own mansions.

These Liao businessmen were all in the army in Liaozhen in the early years, and they were the best at how to avoid the official army.

Of course, because of their early experiences, after seeing the Gaohuai chaos in Liao and the Ming court's attitude towards Liao Town, they will sneak away to engage in business.

It's just that when the interests are blinded, the profits of some contraband make them take risks and become a member of the thieves......

They were moving, and in the mountains north of the Weining Camp Fort, in the dark mountain forest, there were elite Jianyu soldiers.

In the dark mountain forest, they don't need any firelight at all, and with just their eyes, they can swim in the almost primitive mountains.

The rain and thunder obscured their tracks and sounds, and in only two quarters of an hour, they carried their armor around the green hills and crawled on the hill where the only road west of the Weining Camp Fort was.

In the east, in the rain, the war horses were cold and made the sound of "sighing and law", and they were restless......

"Boom—"

Lightning appeared, illuminating the entire mountain road, and the white-armored Jianyu, who could not see the edge at a glance, rode on horseback, like a sculpture, motionless, which made people frightened at the same time, and the muffled thunder in his ears was like a blow to the head.

They were waiting on the mountain road six miles away from Weining Camp Fort and all they were waiting for was a message from the Tang Cavalry in front of them......

"Strengthen patrols tonight, I always feel that something bad is going to happen......"

Just as Jianyu was waiting and Liao Shang was acting, Lu Qin, the Taiyuan general soldier stationed in the Weining camp, also rubbed his tight eyebrows.

Over fifty years old, energy and physical strength have greatly decreased, since the transfer to Liaodong, Lu Qin, Yang Zhaoji, Zhang Jixian and other three people's soldiers and horses have been rectified, but this rectification is not bad.

First of all, the soldier's salary was raised from 12 taels to 15 taels, and the other is that each soldier wore a double armor of cotton armor and cloth armor, which greatly improved the defense power.

Secondly, the food has also been improved.

According to the previous practice, the battalion soldiers were at most three catties of meat, 50 catties of rice, one tael of oil and salt, a piece of vinegar cloth, and 10 catties of dried vegetables a month.

However, since the transfer to Liaodong, after rectification, the food of the battalion soldiers was completely taken care of by the more than 300 officialdoms set up by the Imperial Horse Supervisor in Liaodong.

Not only that, but the ships of the Imperial Horse Prison Store would also be transported by water to all parts of the country where they could pass through the heavy rain in the sea, so there was also a large amount of meat such as dried salted fish.

Not to mention the vegetables, cabbage and leeks can be said to be enough for each person, and rice is also distributed to each team at four catties per person.

The food kept up, and the ordnance and military pay also kept up, so Lu Qin and the others naturally had a reason to follow Zhu Youzhen's requirements and train the army every day.

After two years of training like this, the combat power of the army is simply one in the sky and one in the ground compared to two years ago.

As the east gate of Liaoyang, the Weining battalion naturally needs capable veterans and soldiers and horses to be stationed, and what Lu Qin brought was the veteran of the third battalion of his original Taiyuan.

Despite the fact that there were three battalions of veterans, as well as the location and artillery, Lu Qin still felt that he was a little flustered under this rain.

With his order, in addition to the soldiers and horses of the battalion that had just changed their guards and slept, the soldiers and horses of the other battalion, which had rested for four hours, began to get up and put on their armor.

The movement of the military camp was naturally watched by those who were interested, so they hurriedly sent the news back to their families.

In this situation, it stands to reason that nothing should be pretended, but the current Liao Shang is already ready to send an arrow.

"First strike!"

With the shaving merchant Jia's face grim, he immediately took the families who had changed their stomachs to start the meeting, and such a movement could not be covered by the sound of rain......

"Beep-"

"Boom—"

The patrolling sergeants spotted signs of their rebellion and immediately blew their wooden whistles.

It's just that at this time, the sky was unpleasantly thundered, and the hair-shaving merchant Jia heard the whistle and immediately led more than 800 Dings and more than 500 Mongols to the east gate!

The pursued street patrol team kept blowing the wooden whistle, and as they approached the city walls, the defenders at the city gate also spotted them.

"Someone rebelled! Strike the bell! ”

The Ming garrison yelled at the city, and then drew his sword and led the 300 people at the city gate to retreat to the two city roads on the city wall, facing the enemy in a condescending posture.

At the same time, the soldiers at the head of the city also began to ring bells and ringing gold, in short, using various means.

The soldiers picked up the lighter tiger squat cannon at the head of the city, turned the direction, stuffed the fixed gunpowder of the Imperial Horse Prison Ordnance Station, bulk stone bullets, and then inserted the fire rope, waiting for the order of the city gate guard.

"Beep! The Liao merchants in the city rebel! ”

The first time I found that the rebel street patrol team of Liao Shang was blowing the whistle and leading people to flee to the city gate and shout.

"Go to the walls!"

The garrison who went up to the head of the city shouted when he saw this, and then waved his sword:

"Fire!"

Fifty tiger squat cannons were ignited under the rain shelter according to the order, and then a flash of fire appeared:

"Boom-"

Scattered bullets shot out and fell like a shower, killing and injuring the families of the Liao merchants.

However, the disadvantages of the rain are too great, and the five hundred northern captives who are mixed in the family set up their bows and arrows, aimed at the bamboo poles of the rain shelter, and instantly shot armor-piercing arrows!

"Smack!"

The bamboo poles exploded and began to tilt weakly, and the rain also soaked several tiger squat cannons and Franco cannons.

"A quarter of an hour is enough!"

The garrison was unmoved, calmly commanding the army to continue the counterattack, and called for people to bring bamboo poles to support the canopy.

"Shoot the pole of the canopy, and their firearms will not be used (Mongolian)"

Among the northern captives, a northern captives who seemed to be a leader shouted, and immediately a famous northern captives controlled the strings one after another, and a dense rain of arrows shot towards the rain shelter.

The sound of crackling is endless, or the bamboo pole is broken, or the canopy is shot through, and most of the canopies leak at one time.

However, before the northern captives could be happy, a dense fire appeared on the city.

"Bang Bang Bang-"

Birds clanged, and suddenly dozens of northern captives were shot and killed, and the family members also fought with the Ming army, making a mess.

On the city road of the slope, 700 soldiers were divided into two parts, guarding the upper city slope on the left and right, and on the slope, the gunners with bird guns and the gunners who were cleaning the tiger squat guns were orderly loading and fixing gunpowder.

They had to manpower to repair the canopy, and that was enough time to make the war scorching.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

In the city, when the sound of the tiger squatting cannon sounded, Lu Qin immediately put down the military book in his hand, and at the same time ordered someone to wear armor for him, he hurriedly took the three thousand soldiers and horses who had just come out of the camp to the east of the city.

More than 3,000 people walked in the city, and all the people turned off the lights and hid in their houses, carefully peeping behind the windows, trying to understand what was happening.

Braving the heavy rain, 3,000 men set out from the barracks north of the city and arrived a quarter of an hour later not far from the east gate.

When looking at the two groups of men and horses fighting at the head of the city in the dark, Lu Qin took the lead and led the army to the east of the city.

It was only in the midst of this noisy shouting that suddenly there was a dull sound of horses' hooves.

"Outside the city, there is a prisoner!"

Some of the soldiers repairing the shelter turned their heads and yelled, and in the next moment an armor-piercing cone shot through the back of his head and out of his face.

"Go to the walls!"

Tens of thousands of prisoners came from outside the city, just because Huang Taiji sensed something bad when he heard the sound of artillery, and immediately urged the troops to come.

There was a fighting in the city, and although the Liao Shang's family and the northern captives did not capture the city gate, they did contain the 4,000 Ming army.

"Go to the walls!"

The city wall of Weining Camp Fort is only two zhang, and most of the Chinese-style city walls are wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, so Huang Taiji commanded the army to fill the prepared sandbags into the three-zhang wide moat.

The Ming army at the head of the city was in a hurry, so they could only give up dealing with the rebels in the city, and instead used a rain shelter to protect the Fran machine artillery, and after wiping it several times with cotton and dry cloth, they put the gun loaded with gunpowder and stone bullets into the mother gun, and then ignited it......

With the sound of "snort", the fire rope burned out, and then a "boom" broke out, and two catties of small stone bullets were shot, and the construction captives under the city also made a painful sound.

"Hurhan! You take Baijia Balaya to the North City Gate, the Ming army's defense there is weak! ”

"Yes!"

Huang Taiji gave the order unhurriedly, and Hu Erhan, as one of the five ministers, immediately commanded more than 1,000 Baijia Balaya, and under the cover of the night, made a detour to prepare to ascend from the weak point of the city wall.

Taking advantage of the Ming army's fighting in the city, they found a weakly defended place in the northeast corner, and then hooked the female wall with a hook and rope, so that more than 30 Baijia Ba Laya took off their armor stomachs, held steel knives in their mouths, and climbed up to the city with bows and arrows on their backs!

"Send the stomach to them first!"

Seeing that some people wanted to go up to the city wall first, Hu Erhan scolded them softly, and at the same time, he asked people to send the armor stomach first.

After more than 30 sets of armor stomachs were delivered, the Baijia Bala teeth were divided into three teams, more than a dozen people helped pull people up, and more than a dozen people helped other people wear armor stomachs.

"Beep - Jianyu has landed in the city!"

It is true that the night has become a protective color, and it is not false that the number of Ming troops at night is small, but this does not mean that the Ming army is blind.

When there were less than fifty people who climbed the city wall, the Ming army in the corner tower discovered them and blew a wooden whistle.

It's just that in the next second, three arrows burst out of the face, shooting him through the face, and he couldn't die anymore.

"Assemble a formation and wait for the army to go to the city!"

Huerhan was pulled up by a rope tied to a hanging basket and heard the shouts of the Ming army.

The Ming army at the east gate was powerless, but the Ming army at the north gate immediately killed them after staying at 200 people and informing the army in the city.

Three hundred Ming troops were killed, and at this moment there were already seventy or eighty white armor barayas on the head of the city, and half of them were wearing armor.

"Kill!"

When Hu Erhan saw that there was only such a Ming army, his eyes lit up, and he immediately took the white armor and slaughtered the Ming army.

In terms of cooperation, a thousand Baijia Balaya could not break through the same number of Zhejiang soldiers and Sichuan soldiers.

But in terms of hand-to-hand combat, even the Zhejiang soldiers and the Sichuan soldiers are not the opponents of Baijia Balaya.

More than 40 white-armored people wearing triple armor took out the iron bones and slaughtered the Ming army like wolves.

"It's Baijiabaja! Formation! ”

The Beicheng garrison who saw the equipment of Baijia Balaya at close range was terrified, and while shouting, he listened to the footsteps and ordered the whole army to form a formation.

It's just that at this distance, it's too late to form a formation.

The heavily armored Baijia Balaya used an armor-piercing cone to shoot down a group of Ming troops from a distance, and then the Baijia Balaya, who was charging in front of the army, brandished the iron bone and smashed into the Ming army's formation.

But even so, the Shanxi soldiers who had been sharpening their knives for two years still did not retreat, and even in the moment of short soldiers, they successfully suppressed these dozens of Baijia Ba Laya.

However, the number of Baijia Balaya was more than that, as the Baijia Balaya who ascended to the top of the city continued to join the battlefield, the 300 Ming army fought and retreated.

When they were about to retreat to the East City Gate, the two hundred Ming troops left behind at the East City Gate also saw the embarrassment of their comrades, and immediately grabbed the gourd hammer and axe, and killed the Jianyu on the horse road.

The rain became heavier and heavier, hazy people's eyes, and the power of the arrows of the white armor bara was also drastically reduced.

The five hundred Ming army faced more and more Baijia Ba Laya, from hundreds at the beginning, to four or five hundred, and then to thousands.

Gradually, they were unable to support it, and they fell to the head of the city, and the scarlet blood mixed with the rain flowed down the city walls into the drainage canals in the city, and down the canals into the Taizi River.

"Pull the jack gate, guard the gate, the reinforcements of the Ming army will arrive soon, send someone to inform Huangtai Jibeile!"

Hu Erhan walked into the city gate tower, he was in a very bad state, he had just eaten a golden gourd hammer of the Ming army, and now he was still a little short of breath.

Hearing his order, the soldiers immediately turned the winch of the jack gate, pulled the jack gate up, and put down the mechanism to get stuck.

At the same time, the drawbridge was lowered, the city gate was opened, and the Ming army in the city also arrived at the north gate in armor.

There were as many as 3,000 Ming troops who came one after another, and more than 1,200 Baijia Balaya were waiting for the formation, using the artillery and baggage vehicles of the Ming army to form a vehicle formation, and taking advantage of the disadvantage that the Ming army could not use firearms on rainy days, using their armor-piercing arrows to hide behind the fortifications, and constantly harvesting the Ming army.

It's just that no matter how strong Baijia Balaya is, he is also a human being, and after two years of good food, drink and training, the Shanxi soldiers are more courageous than them while outnumbering them.

The improvised offensive was captured by the wolf-like 3,000 Shanxi soldiers, and Baijia Balaya retreated to the horse road above the city wall, trying to take advantage of the narrowness of the horse road so that the Ming army could not take advantage of the numerical advantage.

"Kill them all! We can't live up to His Royal Highness King Qi's kindness to us in the past two years! ”

Wang Chong, the Shanxi general of the Weining battalion, shouted loudly, and took the lead in rushing to kill while boosting the morale of the army.

Under such a fierce attack, Baijia Balaya's defensive position was actually a little undefinable for a while, and he retreated more than ten steps.

The courage of the Ming army was incredible, even Hu Erhan found it incredible.

"I haven't seen you for two years, why are even Shanxi barbarians so brave?!"

Hu Erhan's heart sank, and he finally understood why his Great Khan had prepared so many soldiers and horses to attack Liaodong.

The speed at which the Ming army recovered its combat strength was too fast, and if they were given a few more years, I am afraid that Dajin would really be encircled and suppressed in the white mountains and black waters.

It's just a pity that it's not them who have more people right now......

Hu Erhan's face suddenly darkened, and at this moment, the Ming army, who was trying to seize control of the city gate, also heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves.

The king pet on the horse road could hear it very clearly, and the sound of horses' hooves made him feel heavy at the same time, and he couldn't help but look at the city gate tower dozens of steps away.

"It's a failure! Lao Tzu is sorry King Qi! ”

Thinking of two years of military salary, two years of good food and drink, and finally unable to even hold a small Weining camp fort, many complicated emotions rose in Wang Chong's heart.

"Can't guard the north gate! How can you have the face to go back to see your father in Shanxi?! ”

Wang Pet's eyes were red, regardless of the continuous blows on his body, he led the battalion soldiers to kill Baijia Ba Laya, and Hu Erhan, who was hiding behind Bai Jia Ba Laya, also noticed the brave Wang Pet, and immediately said to the left and right:

"Shoot him!"

More than ten Baijia Ba Raka Ya ordered, controlled the string and aimed at Wang Pet, who was abrupt, and the next second released the bowstring, more than ten armor-piercing arrows shot at Wang Pet's exposed skin and face.

A feeling that made people's scalp tingle appeared, Wang Pet only felt that something flew towards him, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to protect his face, but in an instant, an arrow pierced his palm, and an arrow hit his cheek.

"General—"

The guerrillas and garrisons on the left and right hung in their throats, and in the next moment, more than a dozen arrows flew in, hitting Wang Chong's chest and arm respectively.

"Good!" Hu Erhan couldn't help but applaud, as if in his opinion, the king's pet was dead.

However, in the next second, Wang Chong's pierced palm suddenly exerted force, pulled the arrow shaft along the arrow shaft, pulled the arrow out of his cheek, and took away a large piece of flesh and blood on his face!

"Ahhh

The pain of being taken away from his face made Wang Zhong scream, but the pain turned into anger, which drove him to constantly swing the golden gourd hammer and kill several Baijia Ba Laya.

Lightning flashed, illuminating the terrifying Wang Pet on his face, making the white armor in front of him fearful, followed by a rumbling thunder.

"The First Evolution"

The Jianlu lost their courage, but the sound of horses' hooves grew louder and louder in their ears.

Finally, when Wang Zhong led the people to fight, and was close to the city tower, the iron cavalry stepped on the suspension bridge, rushed into the city, and began to kill the Ming army who tried to close the city gate in vain.

"General! Jianyu has come to help, retreat to the city and fight in the streets! ”

The left and right lieutenants tried to persuade Wang Pet to retreat, but Wang Pet turned his head to look at the two with his mutilated cheeks, and said angrily:

"Lao Tzu can't afford to lose Shanxi's face!"

"If you're afraid of death, get out! Even if Lao Tzu is the only one left, Lao Tzu will repay this kindness! ”

"General! Why bother? One lieutenant was about to cry:

"For the hundreds of taels of silver issued by the King of Qi and the imperial court, is it worth taking your life! The King of Qi is just bribing ......"

"Get out!" Wang Pet kicked the general in the abdomen, and while kicking him to the ground, he scolded:

"Lao Tzu knows that His Royal Highness is bribing the hearts of the army by giving money! But His Royal Highness is also the first magnate to treat Lao Tzu as a human being! ”

"Lao Tzu died here today, it should be regarded as repaying the grace of His Highness for the tea that day!"

After that, Wang Pet turned around and continued to kill Baijia Balaya on the horse road, and the deputy general who was kicked was also helped up, and the two guerrillas who helped him up couldn't help but ask:

"Adjutant General, this ...... What should we do now? ”

"What should I do?" The adjutant general's face was ugly, but he still clenched his fists and shouted:

"Will the Ginseng be a hero? Aren't we? ! If you're afraid of death, don't be a ghost! ”

After roaring, he began to lead his troops on the horse road to stop the reinforcements from pouring into the city, trying to flank the reinforcements up and down, and the rain became heavier......
