Chapter 111: The First Massacre of the Ming Army
October 13
After receiving Zhu Youzhen's order, Man Gui immediately led five thousand elite horsemen to Jinzhou.
He was going to make peace with Zu Dashou there and attack Shenyang together.
"General Soldier Zu, Your Majesty ordered us to attack Shenyang, and I don't know what the situation in the pass is at this time." As soon as he saw Zu Dashou, Man Gui asked.
"It's not clear right now." Zu Dashou shook his head. This time, Jiannu was menacing, and His Majesty did not let them enter the King of Guanqin, but let them attack Shenyang. He really didn't understand what it was. When someone comes to steal your home, are you going to steal someone else's home? Jiannu came out of the elite this time, can those stinky fish and rotten shrimp in the customs withstand it?
Of course, these words can only be thought of in the heart.
"How many soldiers and horses can Brother Zu send?"
"Five thousand!"
Man Gui nodded and did not speak.
No matter how much you can draw out, I don't know what danger will be there on this trip. If the main force is buried, what will happen to the Ningjin defense line? As for why the emperor gave such an order, it is estimated that he was fooled by a civil official.
At noon that day, Zu Dashou ordered 5,000 cavalry and set off with Man Gui.
They were not marching fast.
First they carefully crossed the Daling River, then the Sancha River, and found that they met with little decent resistance. The two quickened their march and prepared to raid Haizhou.
Haizhou was called Haizhou Wei before Liaodong fell. When Huang Taiji left, he withdrew most of the defenders, and now there are only a few hundred Jiannu soldiers left in Haizhou. The leader is called Erdenbu, and he is a Jiala Ezhen.
At this time, a woman's body was constantly rising and falling, and she heard a panicked report from her subordinates outside.
"General! Oh no! A large group of Ming cavalry appeared outside the city! ”
Erdenbu, who was at a critical juncture, frowned, quickened his charge, and shouted outside!
"What the fuck are you talking about! What Akito dares to come here!? ”
"It's really Akito! At least ten thousand! ”
"What!?"
Erdenbu shook his hand and hastily ended the battle. Hurriedly grabbed his pants and ran outside.
"Are the gates closed?"
"You can't close it! It's too late! ”
It's really too late.
When Zu Dashou and Man Gui led the cavalry to appear, there were constantly Jurchen people coming in and out inside and outside the city, and it was a harmonious scene. When the cavalry of the Ming army was approaching, no one came to their senses.
This isn't a fucking iron rider for our girl.
But it's too late to wake up!
There were not many defenders in the city, and the Jurchens outside swarmed into the city, and more than a dozen soldiers guarding the gate pushed people out. For a time there was a stalemate.
Erdenbu ran from the house to the door in a panic, and was shocked to see this! Immediately pulled out the steel knife from his waist, screamed and rushed forward.
"Fucking draw knives! If you rush any further, you'll die! ”
Saying that, the Jurchens who rushed in were slashed indiscriminately.
Seeing this, the soldiers defending the city drew their steel knives and drove them away.
The gates gradually closed.
At this time, the vanguard of the Ming army had already rushed to the front. The leading general was dressed in gold-lacquered mountain armor, wearing a phoenix-winged crown and holding a bright horse lance. Who is not Zhu Kezhen?
Zhu Kezhen saw that the city gate was about to be closed, and with his legs between his crotch, the war horse jumped up and rushed in from the doorway. Zhu Kezhen rushed left and right, and killed the soldiers of Jiannu in the door. The speed of closing the door slowed down, and another horse rushed in, and as Zhu Kezhen rushed to kill, even though there were enemy soldiers around him, there was no fear on his face.
This person has a fair complexion and a dignified appearance. The calm air between the eyebrows, like the still water in a deep pool, is glamorous.
It was Wu Sangui!
"Brother Zhu! I'm coming! ”
Wu Sangui said to Zhu Kezhen with a smile.
Zhu Kezhen nodded and didn't speak, and stabbed to death a Jiannu soldier who tried to sneak attack Wu Sangui with one shot.
"Be careful."
"Yes! Eldest brother! ”
More than a dozen soldiers in the doorway were quickly killed by Zhu Kezhen and Wu Sangui.
More and more Ning Jin cavalry rushed in.
The gates of the city are lost.
As for Erdenbu, seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately stepped on a war horse and fled through the north gate.
Soon, the 10,000 Ningjin cavalry blocked the entire Haizhou City.
"General soldier, what to do with the captured Tartar soldiers?" It was Wang Laipin who spoke, waiting for Man Gui to give orders.
"Kill!" Man Gui said a word coldly.
"Yes!" The king came to hire and took the command.
On the other side, Zu Dashou was even more ruthless, and directly ordered the slaughter of the city and killed all the Jurchens except the Han Chinese.
For a while, there were screams in the city.
Speaking of which, I would like to thank Jiannu again for his thoughtfulness.
Because their recognition is too high, the pigtails are left, and there is no possibility of killing the wrong one.
The screams in the city came and went, and it lasted for nearly half an hour, and there were not many Jurchens in the city, most of them were enslaved Han Chinese.
Since Salhu, it has always been the Jiannu attack and the Ming army defending.
The slaughter of the city was the first time of the Ming army.
The first time was always a little shy, but it was better to take it slowly. Who hasn't had a raw-to-cooked process?
After the massacre was over, Man Gui and Zu Dashou together sent the necessary supplies to the Han people to flee to the direction of Ningjin.
They continued to lead their armies north.
The next Ning Jin cavalry completely let go of themselves.
Dongchang Fort, Guchengtun, Dongsheng Fort, Changning Fort, Changding Fort, Huangniwa, Chang'an Fort. All the way on the back, all the way to sweep. Everywhere they passed, all the Jurchens were killed, regardless of men, women, children, adults and children, all of them were killed, and one by one, large or small, Jingguan rose from the ground.
October 22nd
The Ningjin cavalry arrived outside the city of Liaoyang, formerly the town of Liaodong.
"Liaoyang is heavily defended, we don't carry siege equipment, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat it." Man Gui looked at Liaoyang City from afar and said to Zu Dashou beside him.
"If you can't fight it, you won't fight, and Your Majesty's order didn't let us attack the city. It was all Jiannu who attacked our city, but I didn't expect them to have a day when they couldn't shrink out. This battle was fought very well. Haha~"
"yes. The elite of Jiannu entered the customs, and the rear was empty at this time. If it weren't for Your Majesty's wisdom, I'm afraid we would have missed this opportunity. Man Gui said with emotion, his words were full of admiration for the emperor.
Zu Dashou nodded and did not speak. Compared with Man Gui, his mood is much more complicated. It seems that since the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he has never been defeated in the face of Jiannu. His identity is not just a general soldier, but represents an interest group. He hopes that the Ming Dynasty will be invincible, but he doesn't want anyone who is unexpectedly invincible.

Yuan Dudu, who promoted him, has not recovered, which has made him feel a haze in his heart.
"Shall we continue north?" Man Gui saw that Zu Dashou didn't speak, and asked.
"Good! Continue to go north, this time it will be a big mess in their rear! ”
The two led their troops around Liaoyang City and headed in the direction of Shenyang.
The Jiannu defenders at the head of the city watched the Ning Jin cavalry march away vigorously, and they were so angry that they gritted their teeth one by one, but they were helpless. If the Ming army does not attack, they will not dare to go out of the city to meet the enemy!
For there were only two thousand defenders in the city.
Erdenbu, who had fled back from Haizhou, had already passed on the news of the Ming army's attack, and the Liaoyang garrison general Wulu Heisu's first reaction was disbelief. When did the Ming people dare to go wild on the chassis of their Jurchens.
But when I thought that most of the elites of the Great Khan Belt had not returned, I felt that the credibility of the news was still very high. Besides, Erdenbu didn't dare to joke about that.
After figuring it out, Erdenbu hurriedly ordered people to gather the people outside the city, select young people from among them, and distribute weapons.
This time he was really beaten up with more than 2,000 soldiers defending the city.
As a result, the Ming army did come, but they didn't attack the city. It makes them very aggrieved, as uncomfortable as if the screw is bigger than the nut and can't get in.
"General, what are we going to do?" Erdenbu, who had a blue nose and swollen face, squinted his eyes and asked Wuhao Heisu, who was hit by Wuhao Heisu yesterday.
Woo Hei Su glanced at him and kicked him in the stomach.
"How the fuck do I know what to do? Get out of the way, I'll be angry when I see you. ”
After speaking, he glanced towards the north, a little worried. Sheng Jing should have also gotten the news, I don't know if I can stop Mingren.
As expected by Urahesu, Amin had already received news of the Ming attack.
He was also worried.
When Huang Taiji left, he let him garrison the base camp, and he had 10,000 elite Eight Banner soldiers with blue flags. As for these 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers, he has the confidence to drive the Ming people around.
But the problem is that Shengjing now only has 5,000 Eight Banner soldiers.
The other five thousand were sent out by him to beat Mao Wenlong!
