Chapter 213: It's a human and a ghost who is showing, only Houjin is being beaten!
After nearly two more days of arduous walking through the mountain path, the army came to a ravine about five or six miles from Phoenix.
"Single-hundred, how is the situation in Phoenix?"
Coming to the top of the mountain, Luo Yi looked at Phoenix City in the distance, their dry food was running out, according to the plan, they had to take Phoenix City within four days, and then go to Zhenjiang Fort along the official road to meet with the sailor and attack Zhenjiang Fort together.
"According to the report of the spies of the Black Ice Platform, there are two Niu Lu of the Jurchens in Phoenix City, in addition to three Han Niu Lu."
Shan Mao arched his hand and said.
"Is there a Jurchen Jiala's Zhen?"
Hearing Shan Mao's words, Luo Yi breathed a sigh of relief, the two Jurchen Niulu could not be more than 600 people, as for those Han people, they could completely ignore it, before Nurhachi slaughtered in Liaodong, and reduced all the Han people in Liaodong to slaves of the Jurchens, if he attacked the city, those Han people should not follow the Jurchens to resist.
The only thing to worry about is that there are Jurchen masters stationed in Phoenix, and the Jurchens do not have a Confucian method of cultivating the Yuan Shen, so compared to the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens pay more attention to strength, the strong are respected, everything speaks with strength, most of the Niu Lu Ezhen have a second-rate realm, Jiala Ezhen generally has first-class strength, and those Gushan Ezhen are the top powerhouses among the Jurchens, and the entire Eight Banners are only a dozen Gushan Ezhen.
Therefore, Jiala Ezhen is already a high-ranking military general among the Jurchens, and each Jiala Ezhen has its own pro-army, if there is Jiala Ezhen stationed in Phoenix, then the next siege losses will definitely be more, and it will be more difficult to capture Phoenix.
"I don't know."
Shan Mao shook his head: "Our spies are all Han Chinese, and they don't dare to get too close to Phoenix City, so they can only get information from the Han people who fled into the mountains, or take advantage of the night to get close to the city wall to observe." ”
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Luo Yi frowned, but he didn't blame Shan Mao, after all, the sudden appearance of a Han man in Phoenix City was definitely an extremely eye-catching thing, and it would only startle the snake.
"Old Pan, give the order to go down, rest for an hour, and then attack."
After thinking for a while, Luo Yi opened his mouth and said, although he doesn't know what the situation in Phoenix City is, but now that he is here, he can only fight, and Phoenix City is not an important level, and I think the Jurchens will not leave too many masters here.
"Hmm."
Pan Ping nodded in response, and then went down to make arrangements.
…
After resting, the soldiers put on their armor and marched towards Phoenix City again, and by the cover of the mountains, the army was not discovered by the Jurchens in Phoenix until they were only three miles away from Phoenix City.
Winter! Winter! Winter!
The dull drum sound spread throughout the Phoenix City, and the Han people of Liaodong who were cultivating outside the city listened to the dull drum sound, their eyes were full of confusion, and they didn't know what the Jurchens were crazy again, but they still hurried towards the Phoenix City, after all, once they went back late, they would be beaten with a horse whip at the lightest, and their lives would be difficult to protect.
It's just that when I came to the city, the city gate had already been closed, and the Great Qi army in the distance was slowly approaching.
It didn't take long for the Great Qi army to form a formation and slowly approach Phoenix City, and then stopped a few hundred feet away from the city wall.
In the middle army department, Luo Yi looked at the city wall as high as three zhang and one zhang and the hundreds of Jurchens on the city wall who were stretching their bows and arrows, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Liu Ji, Tian Cheng, He Wenxiong, the three of you each take 8,000 people to the other three city walls to disperse the Jurchen forces."
After thinking for a while, Luo Yi said, although they have an absolute advantage in troops, if they can reduce their losses, they will naturally reduce their losses.
"The last general commands."
Hearing Luo Yi's words, He Wenxiong and the three of them responded one after another.
"Shan Baihu, you take my two hundred personal soldiers to block the official road from Phoenix City to Zhenjiang Fort, don't let the news here spread to Zhenjiang Fort."
After thinking for a while, Luo Yi continued.
"Xiaguan will go."
Hearing this, Shan Mao nodded.
Soon, the three armies went around a large circle towards the other city gates, and the Jurchens on the city wall also divided their forces to rush to the city wall in other directions to defend, and after a while, there were only nearly two hundred Jurchens on the west city wall.
Seeing this scene, Luo Yi nodded with satisfaction, and the command flag in his hand was raised, and soon, the war drums thundered, and with the sound of war drums, thousands of Qi troops raised their shields and approached the city wall.
Baizhang!
Fifty zhang!
Thirty zhang!
The Jurchens on the city wall opened their bows and shot arrows, and the sparse arrows could not form a dense rain of arrows at all, and they did not have much lethality.
With the passage of time, a large number of Qi troops came to the city wall with shields, and one by one strong soldiers threw out their claw hooks in their hands, and soon, dozens of claw hooks tightly hooked the blue bricks on the city wall, and the claw hooks were tied with a thick hemp rope.
Thousands of Qi troops below bent their bows and shot arrows, suppressing the Jurchen defenders on the city wall, and the dense rain of arrows made the Jurchen defenders on the city wall dare not come forward at all.
"Cut the rope!"
The leader Niu Lu really shouted loudly.
A Jurchen soldier just raised his knife and rushed towards the hemp rope, but the next moment, dozens of arrows missed and directly shot it into a hedgehog.
At this time, one by one, the Qi sergeants bit their knives in their mouths and began to climb up along the hemp rope.
At this time, stones were thrown from the city wall, and one after another Qi soldiers were thrown to the ground by stones, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.
But at the same time, the Jurchen soldiers who threw stones were also shot by the archers under the city walls, and in just a few moments, forty or fifty Jurchen soldiers had fallen under the bows and arrows.
Soon, one after another Qi soldiers climbed the city wall, the frontal battle began, only more than 100 Jurchen defenders had no room to resist in the face of a steady stream of Qi soldiers, just a pillar of incense, more than 100 Jurchen defenders were wiped out, and the battle of the other three city walls was also a one-sided situation.
Although there is an advantage in defending the city, in the face of a hundredfold Qi army, even if the Jurchen defenders have a big advantage, it is useless.
………
In the lobby of the Phoenix City Guardhouse.
"Dudu, all the Jurchens in the city have been wiped out."
Pan Ping arched his hand and said: "Now there are more than 500 Han people in the city, who are old and weak, and the other young and strong people are farming outside the city and have not yet returned. ”
"Just let people go outside the city and recruit those young men back and let them continue farming."
Luo Yi waved his hand and said, "How big is our loss?" ”
Pan Ping arched his hand and said: "Three hundred and thirty-two people were killed in the battle, more than 260 people were seriously injured, and more than 700 people were slightly injured. ”
"Let the soldiers be treated as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Luo Yi was not surprised, although they had an advantage in troops, but they lacked siege equipment, and it was already very good to be able to maintain the battle loss ratio at one to one.
"Liu Ji, you will lead 8,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Phoenix City next."
After a pause, Luo Yicai continued: "Lao Pan, pass the order to go down, repair it, pull out the camp tomorrow, and go to Zhenjiang Fort." ”
"The last general commands!"
Pan Ping and Liu Jian responded one after another.
"Shan Baihu, you immediately send someone to the Yellow Bone Island Fort to inform the sailor to transport weapons and grain and grass to meet us, and let the sailor contain the Jurchens in Zhenjiang Fort."
Luo Yi turned his head to look at the Black Ice Platform Baihu Shan Mao on the side, they set off from Xiuyan City this time, and they were completely lightly armed and simple in formation, and they didn't have any heavy supplies, let alone artillery and the like.
There are four or five thousand Jurchens on the other side of Zhenjiang Fort, most of them are still cavalry, don't look at the 50,000 people on his side, but he does not have any weapons to defend against cavalry, if he is charged by the opponent's cavalry, it is very likely that he will be defeated at one time, so the sailor must contain the Jurchens on the side of Zhenjiang Fort.
"Xia Guan understands."
Hearing Luo Yi's words, Shan Mao nodded.
………
The other side.
After receiving Luo Yi's message, the sailor fleet stationed near Huanggudao Fort pulled anchor and went to Zhenjiang Fort, and then landed near Zhangzidao.
Naturally, such a big movement of the Qi army could not be hidden, and it didn't take long for the news of the Qi army to be placed on Gu Santai's head.
"Zhanggu, what do you say to do?"
Gu Santai looked to the side, he was Gushan Ezhen with a blue flag, and he and Zhanggu were both Amin's diehards.
"Fight with those Han people and avenge Baylor!"
Zhanggu said angrily, before Amin intended to seize North Korea and establish himself as the king, so he placed both of them here, but he didn't expect Amin to be framed by Huang Taiji and died in Daming Pass.
Although Huang Taiji is the main culprit, Daqi is also the culprit, and now those Han people in Daqi still dare to come here, just to avenge Amin.
"Don't be impulsive!"
Seeing the reckless appearance of the article, Gu Santai frowned and said, they are Amin's diehards, now that Jilharang is in charge of the blue flag, Jilharang has always wanted to deprive the two of them of the military power, but he is afraid of the strength of the two of them, coupled with the battle in the Guannai, the strength of the blue flag has been greatly damaged, and Jilharang does not dare to move them easily, if there are heavy losses here, I am afraid that Jilharang will no longer care about them.
"Gu Santai, are you afraid of those Han people in Daqi?"
Hearing Gu Santai's words, he said disdainfully: "If you are afraid, then you can stay here to defend the city, and I will lead troops to deal with them myself." ”
Although Gu Santai is Gushan Ezhen, his strength is not weaker than Gu Santai, and he does not care about Gu Santai.
"Chapters!"
Gu Santai said coldly: "If you want to die by yourself, you can go by yourself, don't pull the sons and daughters of the clan!" ”
"Gu Santai, what do you mean?"
Hearing this, Zhanggu instantly dissatisfied: "Do you think that our sons and daughters can't defeat those Qi troops?" ”
"Zhanggu, there are only more than 4,000 people in the city, and there are more than 10,000 Qi troops who have landed, how many people do you want to bring to deal with them?"
Gu Santai forcibly suppressed his anger and persuaded himself not to be angry with the messy person in front of him, the messy person in front of him didn't have brains in his head.
"Give me 3,000 soldiers and horses, and I will definitely be able to defeat these Qi troops."
The ancient article was rampant, and the words did not take the more than 10,000 sailors of Daqi into account at all.
"Three thousand for you?"
Hearing this, Gu Santai sneered: "Then how many people do you plan to bring back?" And Mao Wenlong's barbarian is still eyeing Phi Dao, when that barbarian intervenes, have you ever beaten so many people? ”
"I ......"
Hearing Gu Santai's words, Zhanggu was also a little bit of a wax, to be honest, he was not afraid of those Qi troops, but if he added Mao Wenlong's side, he was not sure, Mao Wenlong's side had 30,000, even if only half of them were dispatched, plus the Qi army, there were 30,000 people, with one enemy and ten, he didn't have the ability.
"So what do you say?"
After being silent for a while, Zhanggu also softened, and it was not okay if he didn't accept it, so many people, he really couldn't beat it.
Gu Santai opened his mouth and said: "Defend Zhenjiang Fort first, and then send someone to Shenyang City for help." ”
"Huang Taiji, will they send someone?"
Zhanggu pursed his lips, since Amin's death, Huang Taiji's side has been eager to kill them, including Zilharang, the banner master, who doesn't want to keep them.
"They'll send someone."
Gu Santai said in a deep voice: "Now that the offerings on the North Korean side have to pass from here, Huang Taiji and they will not give up here." ”
In order to force North Korea to surrender, Huang Taiji mobilized a full 30,000 Eight Banner soldiers to besiege Yizhou, and finally forced the North Koreans to surrender and confess.
"Then keep it."
Zhanggu pursed his lips, Gu Santai is a solid mountain, if Gu Santai does not agree with him to transfer troops and horses, he will have no problem.
…
Because it was not blocked, the army of more than 10,000 sailors of Daqi came to Zhenjiang Fort and set up camp very smoothly.
………
On the other side, Luo Yi also led an army of 50,000 to Tangshan Fort, which was fifty miles away from Zhenjiang Fort.
"Radurado, our spies have captured a Jurchen messenger."
Shan Mao rode his horse to Luo Yi's side.
"What did you ask?"
Luo Yi hurriedly said, now what he is most worried about is that the whereabouts of his people will be revealed, there is no equipment to defend against cavalry, and if the infantry meets the cavalry, it will be a massacre.
"The Jurchens of Zhenjiang Fort chose to defend the city, and the messenger was sent to Shenyang City for help."
Shan Mao took out a letter and handed it to Luo Yi.
After taking the letter, Luo Yi opened it with his hand, but after taking a look, he stuffed the letter back, because the letter was written in the twisted and crooked words of the Jurchens, and no one could understand it at all.
"How's the situation on the water master's side?"
After a pause, Luo Yi continued to ask.
"The spies haven't come back yet."
Shan Mao shook his head and said, "The last time I came to report, the sailor was only more than ten miles away from Zhenjiang Fort, and I don't know if there was a war with the Jurchens?" ”
Because they didn't want to alarm the Jurchens in Zhenjiang Fort, the spies all walked the mountain road, and the speed was not so fast.
"Send some more people."
After thinking for a while, Luo Yi spoke.
………
Shenyang City.
The sky was slightly bright, and a fast horse broke the silence of the city.
Dazheng Palace, Daishan, Huang Taiji, Zilharang, Azig, Dolgon, Duoduo.........
All the high-level Houjin officials in the entire Shenyang City were all present, and everyone's faces were the same gloomy, and there was a trace of horror in the gloom.
Lin Dan Khan led people back to Monan!
Yuan Chonghuan is leading his troops to attack the Acropolis of Haizhou, and now Lin Dan Khan has brought people back, which means that they will lose control of the grassland.
