Yang Chengying's army was outside the south gate of Gaizhou, which kept Yue Cheng awake all night.

Although the enemy was digging trenches outside and had no intention of attacking the city, Yue Zhi was not at ease.

The other party is Yang Chengying!

So, he asked Kuhl to guard the city gate with his men, and to notify him as soon as anything changed.

In the second half of the night, Kurthorn sent someone to report to Yue that Yang Chengying's subordinates had set up earthen platforms behind the three trenches and pushed the cannons up.

Yue Zhen was very shocked, and quickly got up from the quilt and went to the city to see.

He thought to himself, the other party is so fast!

In Yue Zhen's heart, the entire Ming army in Liaodong and Liaoxi, and Yang Chengying's soldiers and horses were the most majestic.

After all, the people in Jinzhou Town are like wolves and tigers, and they are very good at using cannons, and their skills in playing cannons far exceed those of the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Kingdom.

But I didn't expect the speed to be so fast, and I actually built an artillery position overnight.

When Yue Yu climbed the city tower, he looked into the distance by the moonlight, and his heart was half cold.

Under the moonlight, on the half-human-high earthen platform, all Hongyi cannons were placed.

A cannon weighing more than 3,000 catties, a total of 27 pieces.

Five of the cannons were brought by Yang Chengying when he set out on the expedition, and most of the last twenty-two cannons came from Portuguese merchants, and a small part came from the Ordnance Bureau.

The artillery provided by the Beijing camp, as well as the first artillery purchased from Portugal, were installed on the fortress.

In addition to the sergeants guarding the artillery positions, there were also a few red-haired foreigners, who measured the impact point by moonlight and torches.

It's a silent night, but it exudes a chilling murderous intent.

Yue Zhen couldn't sit still any longer, and hurriedly sent someone to wake up Liu Xingzhi and others to discuss countermeasures.

He didn't sleep, and neither did Yang Chengying.

The soldiers standing under the earthen platform did not light torches, Yang Chengying stood under the earthen platform and looked at the sky, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, a beautiful picture.

For this moment, Yang Chengying waited for a long time.

At the beginning, he really wanted to achieve the effect of training a synthetic camp by defeating the bandits who were entrenched in Fuzhou.

Later, Sun Chengzong sent people to urge the attack on Gaizhou, and happened to learn some information about the Thirteen Mountains Righteous Army, so he changed his mind.

He decided to take advantage of the opportunity of Nurhachi's main force to rest in Shenyang and Daishan's main force to besiege the Thirteen Mountain Posts and take Gaizhou again.

In addition to seizing the materials in Gaizhou City, he also had to strike east and west to rescue the poor people in the Thirteen Mountains.

The specific plan is that Yang Chengying will lead his troops and horses first, and clear up Houjin to arrange a sentinel on the front line of Deli Win City.

Su Xiaojing, Chen Liangce and other armies have already assembled and are on standby, and then follow up.

Of course, not fighting uncertain battles and leaving more ways to retreat is Yang Chengying's consistent style.

If Daishan unlocked the siege of the Thirteen Mountains, Yang Chengying would lead his troops to retreat; If it was just a division of troops to rescue, Yang Chengying would take Gaizhou.

Sure enough, Yue Zhen and others came to the rescue.

Yang Chengying made military arrangements overnight.

The left flank of the large battalion was flat, suitable for cavalry maneuvering.

Yang Chengying expected that they would send light cavalry as the main force, and let Zu Tianbi take the Yongjian Battalion, the Tiger Wing Battalion, and the Zhichong Battalion to pretend to be the Second Battalion of Water and Fire, set up a horse rejection array, and lay out a large shield in front of them, using throwing guns.

The 2nd Battalion of Water and Fire lurked in the west and attacked as soon as the battle started.

Liu Xingzhi fought bravely and fiercely, and he had a lot of eyes, and when he saw that the enemy had set up a big shield, and the front row was wearing heavy armor and holding a spear, he immediately thought it was the second battalion of water and fire, and immediately chose to preserve his strength.

The Mongols didn't know how powerful the 2nd Battalion of Water and Fire was, and they suffered heavy casualties under the guns, so Liu Xingzhi hurriedly told them to pull and not to approach.

In fact, if they were close, the four battalions might not be able to withstand the Mongol cavalry.

This is because whether it is a Macedonian phalanx or a Roman phalanx, the premise is to carry out relevant training, the long-term kind.

If you don't or don't receive long-term training, you will have to lose your formation and suffer heavy casualties due to lack of training.

Because of this, when Liu Xingzhi saw the second moving second battalion of water and fire, he immediately judged that he had been tricked, and quickly wounded himself and led the army to retreat.

After the 2nd Battalion drove away the light cavalry, it immediately formed a wall to cut off the enemy's center.

Zu Tianbi, Zu Tianle, Zu Kuan and others led the four battalions to quickly attack the Bayala Protector.

Together with Chen Liangce's troops, Han Yunchao's Shanzi battalion, and Shang Kexi's Linzi battalion, a huge numerical advantage was formed and all the 700 Bayala guards were killed.

The number of dead has not yet had time to be settled, and it is estimated that there are quite a few.

Yang Chengying took a deep breath, and sure enough, he couldn't be alone, and he always remembered a lot of things.

Peng Qigu saw that he was a little tired, a little worried, and said: "It's still early in the morning, the marshal goes to the camp to rest well, there is a general on the front line." ”

Yang Chengying shook his head: "Thinking that a large amount of money and food in the city is mine, I am still a little excited in my heart, and I can't sleep at all." ”

Peng Hairpin was happy: "The silver in the marshal's mansion is more than one million, and the money and grain in the city are estimated not to be too much, so it is worth being so excited?" ”

"Who will have less money? If the money and food in the city are in good condition, except for a part of the money left for military expenses, it is all yours. ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers guarding nearby all had smiles on their faces.

If it weren't for strict military discipline, they would have jumped up a long time ago. I heard that there are more than 100,000 taels of silver in the city, and everyone can get at least ten taels of silver.

It's exciting to think about.

Peng Qigu also laughed, thinking about what kind of life he had in Beijing before, and what kind of life he had with Dashuai.

I just hate to come early, come early, not only eat and drink enough, worry about food and clothing, but also follow to obtain military merits and glorify our ancestors.

They were relaxed, and the people on the city tower were not optimistic.

Seeing a Hongyi cannon and a red-haired ghost writing and painting behind him, the Houjin general's heart was like frost.

"I have an idea, I don't know whether to say it or not." Liu Xingzhi hesitated for a long time before speaking.

Yue said: "Fifth Brother Liu, don't be a mother-in-law, hurry up." ”

"We agreed on a retreat plan at the beginning, or we would retreat from the north gate before they attacked the city." Liu Xingzhi said.

The generals looked at each other, although they knew that the retreat was right, but they did not dare to say it directly.

"It's okay to retreat, what about the money and food here?"

Yue Zhen knew that the situation was not good, and did not hesitate at all: "Leave it all to the enemy, I am really unwilling!" ”

"Burn all the grain, and keep the silver for a while." Liu Xingzhi said.

Grain is the foundation of Liaodong, and it is very suitable for burning when retreating.

There is too much silver and it is heavy, if you retreat and are caught up by Yang Chengying, it will inevitably be another vicious battle. Without the Bayala Protectors, they had no confidence in winning.

"Okay, let's do it!"

Yue Zhen gritted his teeth, "People are here, everything has a chance, it's a big deal to rob Liaoxi, if the people are gone, they will be gone." ”

An hour later, the city of Gaizhou was on fire.

Yang Chengying saw it, gritted his teeth and said, "It's so ruthless, why don't you take the silver away!" ”

A sentry came to report: "Commander Qiyu, Jianyu retreated from the north gate, and it seems that he burned the grain before leaving, but he didn't see the vehicle pulling the silver." ”

"It's disgusting that all the grain is burned." Yang Chengying was depressed.

What Liaodong lacks most is food, and this set is still coming.
