Chapter 175: The Blue Flag was beaten back to his ancestors
The west was slightly empty, and Nurhaben considered that all four directions were under siege, and the Ming army would organize the people to fight to the death, so the west was slightly empty.
I hope that someone will open the city gate and escape, and take advantage of the situation after panic in the city.
Things went beyond the old slave's plan, and as a result, the most shrewd Huang Taiji cost a hundred white flag casualties, along with a few hundred Horqin cavalry.
More than 3,000 bags of soil on their backs, together with their flesh and blood, had just filled the moat five times wide and one passage wide, when they saw the water of the moat quickly reced.
Isn't it in vain?
No. Now from the north of the city into the city is a broad avenue, from the south gate and the west gate into the city will be a battle of deep river dam pad a slope, the bottom of the river also pad grass and soil, down the ditch on the ditch.
In fact, Amin reported to Nurhachi that he had found the sluice, and the old slave asked him to seize the sluice and drain the water, and if the blue flag was the first to break the east gate, the reward would be the first.
In fact, Nurhachi took a turn outside the city and saw that the defense of the East City Gate was the most in place, and the main defender must be a powerful person. The blue flag is the main attack, and it is difficult to win the East City Gate with the cooperation of the two red flags.
So Amin can't get this credit.
It must be himself or Huang Taiji's.
Nurhachi gave full consideration to the white flags that all the coats and 10,000 Korqin cavalry had sent to Huang Taiji.
The Ming army of the east and west city walls is the strongest, and the west city wall is defended by Yuan Yingtai, who is cowardly and selfish, and the old slave judges that the west city is not attacked and will not support the north and south walls.
Nurhachi is not a generation of heroes, but the distribution of troops is beneficial, and he also calculates Amin's blue flag.
Amin is not an idle person, and after the north and south city gates are opened, he knows that he will let the old thief calculate again, he is not a master who suffers easily, so he rushed to the west gate to intercept the fleeing people, and caught some clothed slaves.
Wang Hongyu led 18,000 Ming troops to come to the rescue, and it was not a coincidence.
He constantly sent scouts to investigate the situation in Liaoyang, knowing that before the city was broken, reinforcements arrived, and Yuan Yingtai would not send troops out of the city to attack the Jiannu and Horqin Mongol coalition forces.
Moreover, if the rapid march arrives before the city is broken, the reinforcements will be exhausted, let alone rescue, and the whole army may be wiped out.
In fact, Wang Hongyu led everyone to go on a long-distance attack in order to save the Ming army and people in the city, not to add credit to Yuan Yingtai.
Seeing that the water in the moat had been drained, but there was silt at the bottom of the river, Wang Hongyu ordered the soldiers to take off the shoulder strap and load the soil, which was a grain bag specially prepared by Wang Hongyu, which could hold 30 catties of grain, which became a soil bag.
The pikes took cover, and the veterans brought a bunch of weeds to pad the mud. The soldiers and civilians who escaped on the opposite side moved bricks and found stones to pad the slope, and some simply used the bodies drowned yesterday to pad the mud and slope.
At this time, not to mention the city gate hole, even the east and west streets leading to the city gate are also blocked by the chaotic crowd, and people can't be taken away if they are caught. After all, there are many Han people, and they are either relatives or neighbors of each other, and if someone is caught, others will rescue them, and they will be beaten into a pot of porridge.
After the march of the Ming army sounded, the arrests stopped, and the people fighting also looked outside the city, but in fact, they were blocked and could not see anything.
The Ming army rushed into the city gate, which was guarded by 100 soldiers with blue flags to prevent the Han people from escaping out of the city. Seeing a large number of Ming troops rushing into the city gate hole, these Jiannu soldiers wanted to block the city gate hole.
The pikemen ran forward with their spears raised, and the Jiannu bowed his head and bent over a few of them that had not been pierced, rolling on his side to approach the pikemen, the short knives in his hands slashing left and right, and the two pikemen were stabbed in the calves.
The spearmen in the back row strode forward and sprinted, one Jiannu was stabbed to death, the other grabbed the handle of the gun with his left hand, threw out the steel knife with his right hand and flew directly to the left arm of the gun, the gunner released the knife with his left hand, and several fingers were cut off.
The crossbowman in the back shot an arrow into the guy's big pie face, and Jiannu died until he fell to the ground, holding on to the barrel of the gun with his left hand.
The 100 Jiannu did not retreat under the sprint of the spears like a forest, and the 5 pikemen were disabled. It turned out that these were 100 blue-flaged Bayala guards.
Jiannu Bayala's cry for help caused hundreds of dead soldiers who screamed and screamed, and it was the hundreds of returnee Jiannu who were later trained by Mang Gurtai with cruel means to become dead soldiers who were not afraid of death.
Not long ago, they beat Zhu Wanliang's Liaodong soldiers who lost their armor and ran away with their heads in their hands.
This time, Amin used them to deal with the spear phalanx of the Southern Army, thinking that he was nine out of ten, and was defeated twice by the spear phalanx of the Southern Army, which had already left a shadow on Amin and the blue flag.
Their hundreds of dead soldiers who were leased back were driven crazy by the Southern Army, and using these hundreds of dead soldiers to break the Southern Army's spear phalanx was a shame, which could be regarded as revenge for themselves.
Hundreds of screaming dead soldiers rushed to a short distance from the phalanx of spears, and Amin waited to see the bloody scene. Suddenly, the men on the west side of the blue-flaged dead soldiers began to shout:
"Mom! The Southern Army is coming, run! ”
The crying was terrible, just like the little ghosts saw the king of Hades, they took off their armor and clothes, and at the same time drilled into the cracks of people, and some simply climbed the wall and the house, and ran away with their lives.
When the atavistic soldiers of Jiannu with the blue flag saw the Southern Army, the self-confidence that they had regained quickly collapsed, and they returned to their ancestors again. At this time, the Horqin Mongols were even more sure that Jiannu was afraid of being beaten by the southern army, and they returned to their ancestors.
Several Ming arquebusiers on the western city wall were about to aim and shoot at the atavistic Jiannu who had climbed onto the roof, when a veteran stopped them:
"Don't fight, these Jiannu have been frightened crazy by the Southern Army, and letting them escape is just to impact the ranks of Jiannu and the Mongols, and it can also cause panic among the enemy, which is good for our retreat."
"Don't take back Liaoyang City?"
"You stupid! The reinforcements led by the Southern Army rushed from the Hunhe River overnight, how could they have the physical strength to capture the city? The Jiannu and Mongols combined were nearly 40,000 people, and the reinforcements were less than 20,000, and the end of the strong crossbow could not wear artemisia! ”
Sure enough, as he expected, hundreds of atavistic Jiannu fled into the distance and kept shouting:
"The Southern Army is coming, run!"
Although the other soldiers with blue flags were not frightened by their ancestors, they were also frightened when they heard that the southern army was coming, where did they dare to intercept the Han people, and ran after them, reminding their friends in the distance while running:
"The Southern Army is coming, run!"
A few streets near the west of the city can be seen inlaid with blue flags Jiannu fleeing, spreading everywhere: "The southern army is coming, run!" Voice.
This chain reaction has long affected the Horqin Mongols who are arresting Han people everywhere, and this kind of shouting mixed with Jiannu and Chinese can be heard by everyone, and there are not many people who understand Jiannu language, but many people who know Chinese.
A large number of soldiers with blue flags stripped off their clothes and armor, shouting in their mouths: "Fishing and hunting nation, fishing and hunting are the foundation, fishing is in the front, hunting is in the back!" ”
The savage Jurchen also returned to the instinct of primitive people: "Fishing and hunting, fishing and hunting, fishing in the front, hunting in the back~"
These guys who were beaten to their ancestors went to the east of the city to fish~
