Chapter 206: Killing Liao Shang

"Whoaβ€”"

"Dogs, get out!"

At the north gate of Weining Camp Fort, more than ten Ming soldiers are pushing a huge chariot at this moment, trying to block the city gate, and this chariot is the terrifying Saimen knife car.

This thing is not much different from the size of the city gate, and there are knives in front of it, and at this moment, there are disgusting flesh and blood hanging on these knives, and the ground is lying on the corpses of war horses and prisoners, which is extremely terrifying.

Outside the suspension bridge, Huang Taiji's scalp was numb and he looked at the chariot that was four feet high, and his palms were sweating.

Originally, he was going to ride his horse into the city, but fortunately, the horse was not fast, so he dodged the attack of two Saimen knife carts in the inner city.

He clearly saw that the three cavalry infantry were killed by the two Saimen knife carts, so he hurriedly retreated.

"What's going on! Didn't you say that the north gate had already been taken down?! ”

Huang Taiji scolded angrily, rarely revealing his original temper, while Baijia Ba Laya, who went to report the news before, knelt on it, lowered his head and said:

"It should be the reinforcements of the Ming army in the city who counterattacked and recaptured the city gate, but please rest assured that the city gate tower is still in the hands of Dajin's warriors!"

"If you can't take the city gate, it's useless to take the city tower!" Huang Taiji in the rain roared angrily, and then whipped and pointed at the city gate and the building:

"Let people put a jack gate to suppress the door jam knife car, and then order someone to crack the machete car with an axe, and within a quarter of an hour, I will take the city gate!"

"Yes!" Many of them bowed their heads in response, and then the army outside the northern city began to move.

Almost at the same time, Lu Qin of the East Gate also stabbed all the Liao merchants and northern captives, and then his face changed greatly along the horseshoe mark outside the city:

"Jianyu went to Beicheng, and left five hundred soldiers here to garrison, and the rest followed me to support Beicheng!"

After a fierce battle, everyone had no time to rest, and after the battle, more than 2,000 people followed Lu Qin to the north city gate, and the north city head at this moment was also extremely miserable.

Jia La's real combat power is worthy of recognition, but Wang Chong's sacrifice of life and forgetting death is more likely to make people feel shocked.

The arrow wound in his face did not stop the bleeding, which caused his strength to decrease, and he gradually lost his grip on the gourd hammer, but at some times, the will was often stronger than the body.

At this moment, he is in this state.

"Kill!"

With the last of his strength, Wang Pet led people into the city tower, Hu Erhan saw that the situation was not good, and found the Saimen knife cart in the city gate, and also hurried down to prepare to kill the Ming army at the city gate.

And after Wang Pet broke into the city tower, he immediately saw Baijia Ba Laya who was stirring the turntable.

The deputy general beside Wang Pet led people to kill, and at the same time, the golden gourd hammer in Wang Pet's hand also fell, his eyes were dark, and he fainted......

"General!"

Seeing Wang Pet falling, the deputy general hurriedly stepped forward to help, and was relieved to find that the other party had just fainted.

"Vice Admiral Li! This winch is smashed, it can't be put down, it can't be twisted! ”

Suddenly, this was the two guerrillas shouting in a hurry, and when Vice General Li heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth and said:

"The winch is broken, the city gate is not in danger, and the whole army retreats!"

"Yes!" Hearing Vice General Li's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In the current situation, the city gate will definitely not be able to be defended, if Vice General Li is also as stubborn as Wang Chong, I am afraid that the army will be buried here.

Timely retreat is the best answer to the order of the king of Qi.

"If you lose your land, you lose your land. If people lose land, people and land will survive. ”

This is the military order left by Zhu Youzhen after the rectification of Liaodong, referring to Liaodong, except for Liaoshen and other important cities, if the rest of the places reach a critical moment, they can retreat with a large army, no need to defend to the death, and there is no fault after the war.

The reason why Zhu Youzhen issued this order was because with the future artillery of the Ming army, it would be a hundred times easier to attack a city than Houjin, so there was no need to lose tens of thousands of troops in order to defend a city.

The only thing the generals need to do is to burn all the supplies that can't be taken with them!

The elite degree of Baijia Balaya is staggering, with three thousand battalion soldiers, and a third of the soldiers and horses have been lost at the moment, so if you don't leave, you really won't have a chance to leave.

If you go, you will have a chance to counterattack, and if you don't go, you will only be dumplings, and no one will be able to pass on the news.

In such an idea, Vice General Li took advantage of the fact that Huang Taiji outside the gate had not completely broken through the city gate, and hurriedly retreated to the east gate with the remnants of the men and horses, and at the time of tea after they left, Hu Erhan led people to recapture the city gate tower and the city gate, and let Huang Taiji in.

"Have the Ming armies been wiped out?"

As soon as Huang Taiji entered the city, he looked at the corpses of the Ming army everywhere, as well as a lot of corpses of Baijia Ba Laya, and his face became extremely ugly.

"No...... More than 1,000 people escaped......"

Hu Erhan also felt that his face was hot, because he didn't expect that he led Baijia Balaya to be snatched back to the city gate tower by the Ming army for a time.

"Go to the treasury first and close the position!"

As soon as Huang Taiji heard that someone had fled, he didn't have time to reprimand Hu Erhan, but hurriedly led people to close the position and rush to the treasury.

Once the Ming army is defeated, it will burn materials, which has been a common thing in the past two years.

For Houjin, any bit of material is indispensable, so they don't care about pursuit.

As they rushed to the granary, the rain began to subside, and when Vice General Li led the remnants of the army and the fainted Wang Zhong to the east gate, they also encountered more than 2,000 soldiers and horses led by Lu Qin on the way.

"General! The north gate was lost, nearly half of the camp was lost, and the scale of the construction exceeded 10,000 people! ”

Seeing Lu Qin, Vice General Li seemed to have found the backbone, and when Lu Qin heard that there were more than 10,000 prisoners and had captured the North City Gate, he immediately decided to ride more than 100 around him:

"Go! Burn down powder magazines, granaries and standing positions! Inform the ministries to withdraw from the West Gate to Liaoyang! ”

The Houjin Horse infantry was stronger than the Ming army, and since the city gate was lost, there was no need to defend it, so it was better to withdraw to Liaoyang and use the Yanshan General Cannon to counterattack back.

The rain was getting lighter, and the Ming army was retreating, and at the same time they set fire to Chang Ping, the powder magazine, and the treasury, and transported half of the thirty boxes of silver in the treasury.

By the time Huang Taiji led his troops, Lu Qin had already led his men to withdraw from the Weining camp fort and blew up forty-seven Furlong cannons on the eastern, southern, and western city walls.

"Fight the fire!"

Seeing the burning Chang Ping, Fu Kuang, and Huang Taiji anxiously commanding the army to fight the fire, he didn't bother to pursue Lu Qin at all, after all, he had already set up an ambush on the way back to Liaoyang from Weining Camp Fort.

Due to the rain, the burned grain in Changping and the treasury was not much, and the only thing that made Huang Taiji's face look bad was that most of the thousands of catties of gunpowder in the powder magazine were taken away, and the remaining hundreds of catties were ignited.

"Poof......

The sound of iron stabbing into flesh sounded, and half an hour later, the battle had ended in the Weining Camp Fort.

On the head of the city, the broken body, the armor stomach, the broken spears and weapons, and the "Ming" banner abandoned on the ground and washed by the heavy rain all indicate the fall of the Weining Camp Fort.

When Huang Taiji counted the casualties and captures of this battle, his face couldn't help but look ugly, and at this time, Nurhachi also led his army to the outside of the city of Weining Camp Fort......

"Drive!"

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Huang Taiji and Hu Erhan led the people out of the east gate and saw the horses and infantry of various colors dressed in robes.

They are so numerous that they almost fill the eastern valley where the Fort of Weining Camp is located, and there is not a single bare land in sight.

Huang Taiji led the people and rode out of the river valley along the road from which the army came, and outside the river valley, there were all kinds of soldiers and horses that could not be seen at a glance.

It was only after marching in the rain for more than two hours, and the faces of these soldiers and horses turned abnormally pale, and their lips even turned a little purple.

Fortunately, it's only June, and if this rain is in September or even October, I'm afraid that the eighty miles will be enough to bring thousands of people down.

Huang Taiji glanced at it, and galloped two or three miles, when a yellow tent appeared in the distance, and Huang Taiji also rode his horse to the tent, turned over and dismounted with Hu Erhan, and knelt on the ground on one knee.

As he knelt down, footsteps appeared from the yellow tent, and a figure in yellow armor walked into the rain, and behind him, there were generals dressed in various colors, and a young man wearing armor but with a bookish face.

"Khan Ama, Weining Camp Fort has been taken!"

Huang Taiji knelt on one knee on the muddy ground in the rain, and standing in front of him was Nurhachi, who personally led the army into Liao.

Behind Nurhachi, there stood a veteran, this was Yanguli, one of the five ministers with Huerhan, and then there were generals such as Dudu, Yuetuo, Abatai, and Zilharang.

Under such a lineup, the young man who was dressed in armor and had a bookish face was very disobedient, but when Nurhachi heard Huang Taiji's words, he immediately turned his head and said to the young man:

"Fan Wencheng, your strategy is good, you can make a credit, remove your status as a armored slave, and serve as the commander of the fourth battalion of the Han Dynasty from today."

"Thank you, Great Khan!" Hearing Nurhachi's words, Fan Wencheng knelt down excitedly, and this scene caused dissatisfaction among others.

However, due to the imminent event, no one said anything.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji took the opportunity to say:

"Khan Amma, this time he listened to Mr. Fan's strategy, plotted against the Han merchants in the Weining camp, attacked the Weining camp inside and outside, and captured more than 20 Fulong machine guns, more than 6,400 taels of silver, and 56,000 stone of grain."

Huang Taiji is talking about the seizure on the surface, but in fact he is highlighting the importance of Fan Wencheng.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Nurhachi said to Fan Wencheng again: "Forget it, you lead a battalion alone." ”

"Xie Da Khan!" Fan Wencheng kowtowed excitedly again, and Yanguli, who was standing behind Nurha's bare back at this time, also stepped forward and said:

"Great Khan, do you want to collect troops now? The capture of more than 50,000 stone of grain and twenty-five artillery pieces is already good. ”

"Collect troops?" Nurhachi twitched the muscles in his face, and looked at Huang Taiji with gloomy eyes:

"How many ...... were killed and wounded in the army"

"Uh...... More than 300 people were killed and 727 wounded, all the Han merchants and Mongols in the city were killed, more than 1,300 horse infantry were killed and 2,0200 were wounded, more than 1,600 of our Dajin warriors were killed and nearly 3,000 were seriously wounded, and all the Han merchants and Mongols in the city were killed......

Huang Taiji lowered his head to report, the death and injury of the Jin army made Nurha's face twitch, and Hu Erhan also took the opportunity to apologize:

"Great Khan, it is the Baraya led by the minions, and the minions are guilty!"

Bayala, the Chinese character is generally written as white armor soldiers, which is basically composed of the elite fighting forces of each Niu Lu in the Jin Kingdom.

The banner people of the Eight Banners began to be assessed from the age of fifteen, the qualified ones are the step armor, the excellent ones are the vests, and then the ones who kill and kill more are promoted according to the battlefield, and those who kill a hundred levels can wear red armor, and then choose the one who is riding and shooting in the red armor is Bayala, also known as the white armor Baya.

At present, the Mingjin wars are far less frequent than in history, so the number of Baijia Bala teeth is very rare, which can be said to be one in a hundred.

These more than 1,600 Baijia Balaya are already the elite of the Jin Kingdom, and such an elite actually killed one-fifth in this battle, and two-fifths of them were seriously injured.

Is this due to the rapid recovery of the Ming army's combat strength, or is it due to the fact that Baijia Balaya underestimated the enemy?

For a while, all the generals of the Jin Kingdom were pondering this question, but Nurhachi did not blame anyone, but suppressed his anger and said:

"40,000 soldiers and horses out of the customs, how can you meet such a point? Take advantage of this rain to stir up the Ming army into troubled waters! ”

After that, Nurhachi spoke:

"Pass my order, the soldiers besieging the city will change their bowstrings, and the seriously injured soldiers will be sent to Sanyangyu Fort, and the army will continue to march according to the plan!"

"Yesβ€”"

As soon as the order was issued, the generals obeyed the order, and more than 40,000 Jin Guoma infantry continued to march towards the city they were originally going to attack.

After they left, the torrential rain continued, and the black clouds in the sky were as thick as ink, as if a hole had been broken, and the rain curtain was heavy......

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"It's not the right time for this rainstorm......"

At the head of Liaoyang City, an official standing under the rain shelter sighed.

As the sky gradually brightened, his appearance was gradually seen by the people around him.

His figure is about five feet seven or eight inches, although he is not as tall as Sun Chuanting and Xiong Tingbi, who are nearly two meters tall, but this height is also outstanding among civil officials.

He was a young man, fair-skinned, tall and thin, but his shoulders were broad and his joints were large.

He stood quietly at the head of the city and looked into the distance, and beyond the east of the city was a huge fortress that could not be seen as far as the eye could see.

It was the soldiers and horses of the Third Route Army of Fuliao, with a total of 19 battalions and more than 57,000 people.

In addition to them outside the city, there are also three battalions of Liao soldiers stationed in Liaoyang City in the city, and the garrison is perfect.

On the wide horse road, from time to time, patrolling soldiers in armor walked behind the official, and every time they walked by a group of soldiers and horses, they would glance at the official a few times.

Perhaps they were curious as to why a civil servant should care about the garrison of the city.

At this time, a twenty-seven or eighteen, not very tall general, walked towards the official, and then spoke:

"Governor Lu, it's raining heavily, you stayed on the city wall all night, so let's go back to the yamen to rest."

As soon as the general spoke, Lu Xiangsheng turned around and said:

"Then there's the Rauma general."

"Where, guarding the territory is what military generals like us should do." Ma Xianglin returned the salute.

Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to say anything more, turned around and prepared to walk off the road and return to the city.

However, at this moment, the military camp outside the east gate suddenly rioted, and this change made Ma Xianglin and Lu Xiangsheng vigilant.

"Let's go! Go see what's going on. ”

Lu Xiangsheng and Ma Xianglin glanced at each other, and then the two got off the city wall, turned over their horses, and rode towards the military camp outside the east gate.

After a cup of tea, when they arrived at the exit of the barracks, they only saw thousands of embarrassed remnants, as well as Lu Qin, who was complaining to Hong Chengchou and You Shigong.

"What's going on?"

Lu Xiangsheng and Ma Xianglin stepped forward to ask, and Lu Qin also explained again.

"Last night, the old slave attacked the Weining camp fort, the Liao merchants and the northern captives in the fort rebelled, and under the internal and external attacks, the old man could only lead the troops to retreat."

"After that, it was intercepted by Jianlu at the three forks, and the army had no choice but to retreat ten miles, and then strengthened the Taizi River, took the mountain road on the south bank, and returned to Liaoyang after one night."

Lu Qin finished explaining, but all the generals knew that if Weining Camp Fort was lost this time, Lu Qin would inevitably be held accountable by Zhu Youzhen after the war.

Without him, the Qing army used the same means last time in the alkali field fort, and now the Qing army is using the same means again, in this case, Lu Qin actually lost the Weining camp fort.

"One Sword Alone"

It is also fortunate that the Yanshan General Cannon in Liaoyang was not transported to Weining Yingbao, if the Yanshan General Cannon is lost, Lu Qin is afraid that his head will not be guaranteed......

"How much is the army of Jianyu?"

Hong Chengchou didn't care about whether Lu Qin would be held accountable, he was more concerned about Nurhachi's movements, so he frowned and asked, and Lu Qin also said:

"There are no less than 20,000 people, and there are 6,000 soldiers and horses who intercepted us alone."

"If that's the case, then they should have arrived in Liaoyang by now......" Lu Xiangsheng frowned and said:

"It is faster to walk from Weining Yingbao to the north bank of the Taizi River, even if there is a burden to drag down, it must be faster than you general soldiers, but at the moment, even Jianyu's Tang cavalry has not appeared, and the old slave must have turned to attack elsewhere."

Suddenly, Hong Chengchou frowned, as if he had thought of something, clenched his fists and said:

"Fengji County! The old slave has attacked Fengji County! ”

"Fengji County?" Hearing this, the hearts of the generals tightened.

Fengji County can be stationed with Yang Zhaoji's 6,000 battalions at the moment, if Lu Qin's 9,000 battalions do not stop the old slave, then if the same trick is staged in Fengji County, then Fengji Fort......

Everyone didn't dare to imagine it, but Hong Chengchou's eyes lit up and said:

"Since the old slave is out of the customs, then I will intercept his way back!"

"Ordered the army, buried the pot to make rice, and at three o'clock, the army marched to Weining Camp Fort! At the same time, it is a good time to return to the king of Qi to open the army, send a message to Shenyang that the old slave may attack Fengji, and then communicate with the general army of Kuandian Qin, now is a good time to recover the Yahu Pass! ”

Hong Chengchou wanted to take credit, because he was keenly aware that the old slave was not encircling and sending reinforcements to annihilate the living forces of the Ming army this time.

The old slave was looting this time in preparation for the loss of Liaodong.

Since this is the case, then Weining Yingbao will definitely not leave too many soldiers and horses, because Liaobei is open, and the horse infantry can bypass Shenyang with high mobility and return to Tieling, Fushun and other places from everywhere.

Regarding Hong Chengchou's approach, everyone could see that he wanted to take credit, so he had a slight complaint, but he was the main general, so no one refuted it for a while, but took the military order.

Several horses rode out of the horse and ran towards Guangning, Shenyang, and Kuandian, but compared to Luqin, who had to travel a hundred miles to return to Liaoyang, Nurhachi, who took the mountain road from Weining Yingbao to Fengji, only needed to drive seventy miles of mountain road!

Therefore, when the news reached Shenyang, Xiong Tingbi in Shenyang had already received the news of Fengji's request for help, and was coordinating the army to prepare to encircle and suppress Nurhachi's troops and horses.

Qi Jin, He Shixian, Yang Wenyue, Wu Aheng, Xiong Tingbi and other five people coordinated 30 battalions, more than 90,000 soldiers and horses rushed to Fengji, the required military rations had already been prepared half a month ago, even if Nurhachi did not move, the Ming army would launch a general attack at the end of the rainy season in half a month.

Therefore, at present, the two armies of Ming and Jin are fully prepared to fight in Fengji, and Shenyang is only more than 50 miles away from Fengji.

"Order Hong Chengchou to attack Weining Camp Fort and cut off the old slave's retreat from Weining Camp Fort."

"General Qi Yuanbi and Dalai (Yuan Yingtai's cousin) led five battalions of soldiers and horses to guard Shenyang, and all the Liao merchants in the city and in the courtyard of the house were killed!"

Xiong Tingbi showed his ruthlessness at this moment, or in other words, the matter of killing Liao Shang had already been decided.

Long before the resumption of the Liao discussion, Xiong Tingbi and Zhu Youzhen discussed this matter, and the two also knew that if they wanted to do something against Liao Shang, they must have a reasonable excuse.

What is this excuse? It is nothing more than that before the Great War of Restoring Liao, the Liao merchants did something that harmed the army to restore Liao.

Xiong Tingbi and Zhu Youzhen have waited for a long time for this behavior, and now they can finally blatantly behead the Liao businessmen and confiscate their family property!

"Jinglu, do you need to attack Fushun under the officials?"

At the same time as Xiong Tingbi's military order was issued, Sun Chuanting of the Second Route Army also opened his mouth to ask his own questions.

At present, there are two armies in Shenyang, one is the thirty-fifth battalion of Xiong Tingbi and others, and the other is the thirteenth battalion of Sun Chuanting.

Since the old slave is here, then from Sun Chuanting's point of view, he should have beaten him, and the Ming army fought the Ming army.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to take Fushun, Shenyang will have a gateway to the east, and it can also block the old slave's idea of returning from Fushun.

However, Sun Chuanting's thoughts were still a little simple, and Xiong Tingbi in the barracks shook his head when he saw him asking:

"Since the old slave dares to send troops, he must be ready to defend Fushun and Tieling."

"The rain is pouring down, even if there is a canopy, the disadvantages of firearms are very obvious, and without artillery to attack the city, the army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties."

"The old slave will not take Weining Yingbao to return, he has already given up Weining Yingbao and Qinghe Fort and other places, and Jianyu only needs to hold the Yahu Pass."

"Yahu Pass, Tieling, and Fushun, these three places must have gathered heavy troops, and they cannot be captured unless they are sunny."

"What the old man is worried about now is that when the old man sends troops to encircle and suppress the old slave, the Jianyu of Fushun and Tieling will send troops to attack from the north and south, so the old man wants to ask the three generals to defend Shenyang at the same time, and cut off the Jianyu reinforcements who may go to support the old slave!"

Xiong Tingbi's thoughts were dense, and he knew that Nurhachi's strategic purpose this time was to plunder, and the mobility of the army after plundering would be greatly reduced, so it was necessary to have reinforcements to support, so that the Ming army would not dare to fight with the Jin soldiers easily.

In this case, instead of taking Sun Chuanting's army, which is basically full of firearms, to encircle and suppress Nurhachi, it is better to let them wait for the weather to clear up and intercept the Jin army's reinforcements.

"In that case, the Admiral understands!" Sun Chuanting understood it at one point, and immediately said with Sun Yingyuan and Cao Wenzhao that he would defend Shenyang and intercept all reinforcements.

Seeing this, Xiong Tingbi immediately bowed his head, and then took Qi Jin, Yang Wenyue, Wu Aheng, He Shixian and others to start mobilizing the first army.

Seeing Xiong Tingbi and them walking out, Yuan Yingtai hesitated and said: "This is the ...... of Liao Shang."

"Rest assured, hand it over to the last general......"

Qi Yuanbi stood up and took the initiative to take on this task.

He knew that Yuan Yingtai was not ruthless enough for this kind of thing, but he was ruthless enough!

He didn't care whether the imperial court would be held accountable after killing the Liao Shang, he only knew that he would rather kill a thousand wrong people than let go of one, not to mention that the current Liao Shang roots had long been rotten.

With the support of His Royal Highness King Qi, what if the civil officials impeach him in every way? Qi Yuanbi is no longer the ignorant martial artist he was three years ago, he knows that except for the emperor's blame, under the protection of His Royal Highness the King of Qi, no one can condemn him.

On the other hand, if you can replenish military funds in the process of raiding your home, you will be rewarded after the war.

Therefore, after Qi Yuanbi took on the task, he commanded the five battalions of soldiers and horses left in the city by the First Route Army and began to search door to door.

"Yuan Dalai! You don't have to die well! What are our crimes in killing businessmen without permission?! ”

"Yuan Dalai, you will be punished!"

"The little boy Zhu Youzhen is good at killing businessmen, and he will definitely be defeated!"

broke down the door and raided the house, and many Liao merchants were dragged out of their homes by the soldiers and horses commanded by Qi Yuanbi, and they were still scolding before being pulled to the head of the West Market.

It wasn't until they were beheaded that the noisy sound quieted down, and Qi Yuanbi in the rain didn't feel the slightest guilt about the heads that rolled off one by one.

This group of people...... It's long overdue!
