Chapter 361 Surrounded on all sides
On the second day of the first month of February, the Houjin army reached the city of Gaizhou.
Nurhachi set up his camp on the west side of Gaizhou.
Looking up at the quiet mountain of Gaizhou, Nurhachi had no bottom in his heart.
At the beginning, he was angry and threatened to take Gaizhou. If Lao Ba persuaded him, he took the opportunity to reprimand Lao Ba, and then found another step to go down to Gaizhou.
But Lao Ba just followed his wishes, so that he couldn't find a suitable excuse to get angry.
After an hour, the sentry reported that there was no cannon on the head of Gaizhou City, but a Franco cannon.
This reassured Nurhachi a little.
That night, the Houjin army rested outside the city for the night.
Early the next morning, Nurhachi led two yellow flags to the west of the city.
He sent someone to tell the soldiers defending the city: "Please ask Yang Chengying to come forward and answer." ”
Yang Chengying, who was already at the West Gate, immediately appeared: "General Tong, don't come unharmed." ”
Nurhachi came out of the crowd surrounded by the Baibayala Guards, and replied: "There is General Lao Yang's memory, and the old man is in good health. ”
"If you don't know what to tell me, ask me to come out?" Yang Chengying asked.
"General Yang, it is a tradition for the Ming court to be mean and unkind. Their Taizu Hong Wuye slaughtered the heroes, and the ancestor Yongle Ye exterminated the ten clans, and now it is even worse, Xiong Tingbi's death is just around the corner.
Is it worth it to work for such a court? It's better to take refuge in me, I will make you king, rule the four guards of southern Liaoning, and marry you, better than the fake princess who thinks she is a righteous sister! ”
"General Tong, it's okay for you to deceive children with these words, but it's useless to me."
Yang Chengying ruthlessly exposed his lies: "You are based on the Eight Banners, the Eight Banners are your own people, and it seems nice to make me king, but it is actually a foreign domain." Once you win the world, or dominate one side, you will turn your face, and you will not destroy me. ”
Nurhachi frowned slightly, he didn't expect Yang Chengying to understand him and his Eight Banners so thoroughly.
Yang Chengying continued: "You can also let me enter the flag, you can use my strength, not to mention those Jurchen nobles, even you won't really rest assured." Everyone is a smart person, so don't come to this set. ”
Seeing that his details were seen through, Nurhachi immediately revealed his fierce face: "Yang Chengying, you don't have a cannon, and there is not much grain and grass in the city, I see how long you can survive!" ”
"Definitely outlive you." Yang Chengying said with a smile, "I have already read your grain book, and even the grain stored in Gaizhou City is pitiful, not to mention your army." ”
"I don't have enough food, what about you? Not much better than me. ”
"Just try it. Let's not mention it for a long time, for a month, see if I can stand it. ”
Hearing this, Nurha took a sip of the truth, he was really looked at to death.
Last year, there was a famine throughout the year, and grain production plummeted. In order to raise the food needed by the army, it took a whole month, otherwise the army would not have been withdrawn from Ningyuan so quickly.
I heard that there is grain storage on Juehua Island, but the passage of soldiers and horses on the ice still needs to be careful, not to mention the grain trucks.
"Another ......!"
Yang Chengying's voice sounded in Nurhachi's ears again, "You must be wondering in your heart, why I blasted off the city wall and repaired it so quickly, this question has to be asked to your good nephew, ask him how many good things he has done in Gaizhou!" ”
When Nurhachi heard this, he turned his head to look at Amin.
How dare Amin tell the truth, he lowered his head.
Nurhachi instantly understood, but it was inconvenient to scold him in front of so many people, so he sneered and said to Yang Chengying:
"I haven't seen you for many days, you are still so sharp-tongued, you wait, Ben Khan will not take Gaizhou, and he will never withdraw his troops."
"Haha...... Accompany you to the end! Yang Chengying said with his fists clenched.
Nurhachi led the Baibayala Protector to withdraw to the camp and arrange the siege.
"Old Five, you and Aita attack the north gate. The eighth man attacked the south gate. Amin's nephew attacked the east gate. I don't believe it, the army stormed Gaizhou together, and they still couldn't take it. ”
"Our army's food and grass can't last long." Yue Zhen, who was in charge of grain and grass, stubbornly reported it.
"How many days can you use it?" Nurhachi asked impatiently.
"Ten days."
"How much?"
"If you go back to the Great Khan, it's only enough for ten days."
"No, didn't you say it was enough for a month."
"That's the front, I didn't count the two Baylor's men at that time."
It's about Amin, and Yue Zhi lowered his head even lower as a junior.
Amin's face was flushed, and he was a little embarrassed.
Nurhachi let out a long breath: "Ten days is ten days, let's beat him for three days first, and see how he defends the city." ”
I don't know if I don't fight, I was startled.
Unlike the soldiers who were temporarily trained by Yuan Chonghuan, Yang Chengying's command were all elites who had been trained for a long time.
Under the siege from all sides, it was Amin's soldiers who suffered heavy losses.
They had little morale in the first place, and they were forced to attack the east gate.
When they pushed the cart, they arrived at the bottom of the city. Before he could dig the city, he saw bundles of firewood falling from the sky, accompanied by hot oil and quilts.
Several rockets flew out, and the city was immediately in flames.
Huang Taiji attacked the south gate.
He originally wanted to take the opportunity to test Yang Chengying's level of defending the city without Hongyi cannons.
The south gate was defended by the second battalion of water and fire, as well as Yang Chengying's personal guards.
The cart was pushed under the city, and it was immediately burned and rolled with wood and stones. The ladder attacked the city, and it was either lifted the ladder, or he was stabbed to death by a random gun after ascending the city.
The soldiers of the city were all dressed in heavy armor, not afraid of the pressure of bows and arrows, and all of them had superior arm strength, and they were better than ordinary soldiers with bows and arrows, and they were full of strength.
Huang Taiji was not in a hurry, anyway, the first ones sent were cannon fodder, but he admired: "It's really good, the long-term military training has made them cooperate very well, and their bodies are much stronger than ordinary people." ”
Just as he was praising it, the sentinel Pegasus reported: "Four Baylors, two Baylors were charged by the enemy's heavy cavalry and suffered heavy losses." Ask the four Baylors to send troops to the rescue. With that, he retreated.
Huang Taiji was slightly surprised, and hurriedly led the Baiqi Bayala Protector and cavalry to attack the east gate.
By the time he reached the east gate, the enemy's cavalry had withdrawn to the city to rest.
Amin was discouraged: "Old eight, I was bullied by dogs this time, and the enemy cavalry dared to rush straight to the Chinese army, if you didn't come in time, I would be miserable." ”
"Erbeyler, hurry up and regroup your team, I will go to meet my father Khan and beg him to withdraw his troops."
With that, Huang Taiji slapped his horse and turned to leave.
There is no way, even if you are scolded, you have to tell your father Khan that you can't fight anymore. The enemy clearly saw that the blue flag at the east gate was flawed, and after resting, he might have to fight again.
For the foundation of Houjin, he can only be scolded.
And in Simon, Nurhachi was so angry that he smoked.
The reason is that it was Liu Tianlu's Xiong Wei battalion and Deng Changchun's Hubu battalion that defended the west gate, both of whom escaped from the Thirteen Mountain Posts. Seeing the Houjin Army, it was called a hate.
While fighting, they scolded Hou Jin Jun for being a hybrid Jianzhou dog.
The more the Houjin army attacked the city, the more vigorously they scolded.
When these words reached Nurhachi's ears, he was not furious.
