Chapter 359 Intrigues

It turned out that the most brilliant record, but with the simplest method - artillery!

Since Sun Yuanhua was appointed by Yang Chengying to teach artillery units to train shooting techniques, he has been very attentive.

Through contact with the missionaries, Sun Yuanhua finally learned the secret of the West at this time - the technique of shooting Zhuyuan.

This set of techniques is even more advanced than what Sun Yuanhua taught the artillery unit at that time.

There is also a set of professional measuring tools.

Because Peng Hairpin Gubu Ming Jun has learned some basic principles after a long period of study.

Under Sun Yuanhua's tutelage, their shooting skills have reached a new level.

Yang Chengying led a large army to protect this artillery force, and swept away the two newly repaired cities in the south of Gaizhou City, Xiongyueyi and Yulinpu, in one fell swoop, and reached the city of Gaizhou.

Amin received Nurhachi's order to defend the city, but he did not dare to abandon the city and flee, so he had to send his men to ask Liu Xingzuo for help while he was staying in the pot.

On the way to Gaizhou, Liu Xingzuo led his army to be ambushed by the Ming army and suffered heavy losses.

As a last resort, Liu Xingzuo had to lead the army back to the city to defend.

In an instant, Gaizhou was an isolated city.

Yang Chengying led the army to surround Gaizhou, let Huanglong command the artillery troops to attack the city, and Shang Kexi, Chen Jisheng, and Zu Tianbi led the Ming army to defend.

He personally took Su Xiaojing, Kong Youde, and his heavy cavalry to intercept the enemy's reinforcements in the field.

In order to quickly attack the city, Huanglong used all twenty Hongyi cannons.

The artillery units, which had been training for many days, fired their cannons one after another under the order of Huang Long after adjusting the firing angle.

The two battlements of the city wall were directly bombarded by the Hongyi cannons, and the city tower was on fire.

Amin and his subordinates were taken aback.

A newly built fortified city in Gaizhou was so easily bombarded by artillery.

With the collapse of the battlements of the city wall, the second battalion of the Ming army was the vanguard, attacking Gaizhou like a tide.

When the people in the city saw the arrival of the Ming army, they picked up the rolling pin and other tools in their hands and rose up to resist the Houjin army.

No matter how strong the Houjin army is, it will instantly turn into mud and sand flowing into the sea, and it can't set off big waves.

Amin saw that Gaizhou could not hold it, so he had to lead a large army to break out of the city.

Outside the city, he and Yang Chengying handed over.

Amin, who is confident that he is invincible in the field, and Yang Chengying fought again.

The actual situation, only God knows.

After all, the casualties were told by Amin himself to Huang Taiji.

In order to save some face, Amin deliberately concealed some facts, such as what he did in Gaizhou City.

"Someone, help Erbeile up and sit down in his seat."

Huang Taiji seemed to have become the de facto leader of the Houjin army in Nurhachi's absence.

The other generals didn't think anything of it, so they brought a stool to Amin and asked him to sit down.

"Second Baylor, please be seated." After moving the stool, the young general Jin said.

"Okay." Amin nodded and sat down slowly.

But his heart was not as calm as his face, but quickly captured the key information.

Could it be that the Great Khan has any special hints to Lao Ba, so that these generals are respectful and obedient to Lao Ba.

"Erbeile, according to what you said, the troops attacking Aita may be the heavy cavalry under Yang Chengying?"

After Amin sat down slightly, Huang Taiji asked in a deep voice.

"No, it's an elusive infantry."

Amin said slowly: "According to the spies, Aita was attacked by an infantry team that is good at mountain warfare, and lost hundreds of people in an instant. ”

There are two roads from Polo pot to Gaizhou, one is a coastal avenue and the other is a mountain road.

Coastal Avenue, as the name suggests, is to walk along the coastline, go to Caojia Village, Xiadian Village.

The mountain road is to take the new Kailing, Xiaoxigou and dustpan mountains in the north of Gaizhou.

The avenue is wide, but it takes a lot of time. The trail is rough and saves a lot of time.

Liu Xingzuo knew that Yang Chengying had artillery in the camp, and after receiving Amin's request for help, he immediately sent troops to take the mountain road and come to support.

"If it's another army, it means that Yang Chengying expected that Aita would take the mountain road."

Huang Taiji took a deep breath and said slowly: "It seems that he knows your whereabouts well, so he is unprepared. ”

Amin said angrily: "Dogs, it's all those Han ghosts!" It must have been them who reported the news and told Yang Chengying everything about the situation in Gaizhou City, which made me so embarrassed. ”

"Erbel, now is not the time to complain about these things, it's better to wait for the Great Khan to wake up and ask him to decide."

Huang Taiji said in a deep voice.

Later, the Jin army temporarily stopped the siege of the city, and strictly sealed off all news related to the Great Khan.

This trick was looked at by Mang Gurtai, and he thought: "What Father Khan said in a hurry, Lao Ba really believed it." He actually regarded himself as a 'leader' and commanded me. Watch me make trouble for you and make you embarrassed. ”

As a result, a rumor circulated among the Later Jin army that the Great Khan was hit by the artillery fire of the Ming army at the head of the city and fell unconscious.

This is the reason for the tight lockdown of news related to the Great Khan.

People are always curious, and this rumor has spread even more fiercely due to Huang Taiji's strict sealing order.

It directly caused the whole army to cry!

Gaizhou, commanding the embassy, the main hall.

Yang Chengying looked around and sneered: "This Amin will live a good life and repair the Command Embassy Mansion so big!" ”

"No, it's not much smaller than the Princess's Mansion."

Shen Zhixiang, who participated in the construction of the princess's mansion, was also surprised.

Liu Tianlu said angrily: "This is all a good thing that Amin did. He demanded that all the people in the city give him free repairs, and forcibly drove out the people who used to live near the commander's mansion to facilitate his expansion of the mansion. ”

Liu Tianlu, who was born in the Thirteen Mountains Righteous Army, hated this kind of atrocity of the common people very much.

Yang Chengying casually flipped through the roster and food book on the table, which were all treasures that Amin didn't have time to take away when he escaped.

Unlike Liu Xingzuo, Amin cares more about treasure. When he fled, he took several carts with him.

Because of this, he lost the most important point of his escape - mobility.

After being surrounded by Yang Chengying, Amin was forced to abandon the treasure.

The people's household registers and food books were all submitted by me after Ningwan.

"Dashuai, when are we leaving?" Chen Liangce asked.

Every time he conquered Gaizhou, Yang Chengying would organize a wave of retreat.

"Let's go? We're not going this time. ”

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "Except for the four battalions, the rest of the soldiers and horses will stay in Gaizhou for the time being. ”

Stay in Gaizhou?

The generals looked at each other, all surprised by Yang Chengying's decision.

Yang Chengying said: "We always gave up Gaizhou in the past because no one in western Liaoning could contain Nurhachi. After obtaining Gaizhou, you need to face the army of Jianyu who have won a great victory alone.

The enemy is near, and it is easy to transport. I'm far away and it's not easy to transport.

But now it's different, the enemy can't capture Ningyuan City, and morale has plummeted.

I'm in Gaizhou now, and he Nurhachi can't help me.

And I took the opportunity to pull down Gaizhou, and then wave my army to sweep away the bandits in Fuzhou to prepare for next year's spring ploughing. ”

When the generals heard this, they all nodded happily.
