Yang Chengying's meaning is very clear, he is fine in Funing, once he goes south, with the shrewdness of Huang Taiji, he will definitely lead the army to attack Funing and cut off the back road of the army.

There are many misunderstandings about Guan Ningjun in the world, and it is difficult to say whether it is washed or not.

However, in the end, the Jinzhou Army and the Guanning Army have just been combined, and if the Guanning Army does not show decent results, it is likely to be despised by the Jinzhou Army.

Yang Chengying handed over his back road to He Kegang and Guan Ningjun, which was both a trust and a challenge to them.

He Kegang saw it very clearly, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to guard the city.

"Marshal, even if my Guanning army is wiped out, I will never lose Funing."

He Kegang clenched his fists and said.

The other generals of the Guanning Army got up one after another and hugged their fists at Yang Chengying.

"Don't talk about life and death, I'm still waiting to drink the celebration wine with you."

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "You just need to keep one thing in mind, my Jinzhou army has no bad seeds, and it will not flee to Funing." ”

The generals of the Golden State Army all laughed.

Yang Chengying's decision to lead the army south was related to the white-hot offensive and defensive battle of Changli.

Changli Zhixian Zuo should be elected, and Yang Chengying knows.

There was another one who participated in the defense of the city, which he did not know.

That is Meng Qiaofang, his father Meng Guoyong, the official to the chief military officer of Ningxia.

After the destruction of Yongping City, Meng Qiaofang and Ma Guangyuan fled to Changli with the rout.

Zuo Yingxuan took them in and asked them to defend the city together. He also persuaded Zhang Wenyun and other local squires to take out their family property to fund the defeated soldiers and young people defending the city.

The cavalry sent by Huang Taiji touched a nose of ash in Changli.

In order to quickly cut off the connection between the Guanning Army, the Jinzhou Army and the imperial court, Da Beile Dai led the army directly to Changli.

Dai Shan saw that the Changli army and civilians were very determined to defend the city, and felt that it was inappropriate to attack rashly, so he asked a few prisoners from Yongping to go and shout to let Changli surrender.

After these students arrived at the city, they deliberately shouted: "Dajin Country Dabeile has an order, those who dare to resist the Dajin Heavenly Soldiers will be killed, and those who do not resist will be pardoned." ”

"Phew!" Zuo Yingxuan spat at the city, turned his head to the soldiers in the city, and said, "You all heard, and the resisters will be killed."

We have resisted the slaves for several days, and the day of our death is when the city is broken.

Even if they don't lose their lives, they will be slaves for life. ”

The guards of the city were more determined.

Dai Shan saw it and felt that there was no other way, so he ordered the siege of the city.

The Houjin army was divided into three routes, the left flank attacked the west gate, the right flank attacked the east gate, and the Mongol army attacked the north gate, leaving only the south gate as the escape route for the defenders in the city.

Dai Shan came prepared, made a large number of ladders, and attacked Changli under the cover of the chariot.

"Don't panic, don't mess around!"

Meng Qiaofang walked briskly on the city tower, "Wait for the enemy to get close and then throw rolling wood and stones, and throw boiling oil if you get closer, we defeated the Mongol soldiers a few days ago, and we can defeat the Tartars in the same way." ”

On the other side of the city tower, Ma Guangyuan also used the same method to motivate the guards of the city.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the drums became more and more intense, the Houjin soldiers walked faster and faster.

Seeing the enemy approaching, Guan Ningjun immediately killed the enemy with firearms.

Bang bang bang......

Houjin Jun skillfully hid behind the cart, dodged a round of shooting, and continued to push forward.

Approaching the city wall, the soldiers and civilians defending the city threw down the rolling wood.

The car crunched, crunched...... There was a sound, some shattered, while others were intact.

Under the cover of the chariots, the soldiers rested on the city wall with ladders and began to attack the city.

One by one, the Houjin army climbed the ladder like ants.

Some were hit by the rolling logs and fell, while others continued to climb, and the stream continued.

The guards of the city hurriedly used the equipment to push the ladders down one by one.

Dai Shan saw it from a distance, and after seeing that the Jin army still couldn't climb it, he personally went to the city to supervise the battle.

Whoever dares to take a step back will be killed!

Due to the lack of effective fire suppression, the Houjin army was not so afraid, and they moved the fallen ladders one after another, continued to build on the city wall, and ascended to Changli.

Seeing a Houjin army climb the city wall, Dai Shan was overjoyed.

Suddenly, there was a disturbance in the city.

A Han man who was cannon fodder was greatly moved when he saw the situation of the soldiers and civilians defending the city tower.

When he found the soldier on the nearest ladder landing in the city, he shouted: "Lao Tzu will never give his life to the Tartars again!" ”

Suddenly, he knocked down several ladders.

The Houjin army, who reacted, surrounded and hacked this strong man to death.

Although he did not leave his name until his death, he recorded it in the Changli Zhongyi Temple and Changli County Chronicles with the title of "Drag Ladder Lang".

Because the ladder was dragged down, the Zhenglan Banner Niu Lu Zhen Fu Kecha, who climbed the city tower, suddenly lost his back road and reinforcements, and was hacked to death by the Changli army and civilians.

The head of Fu Kecha was hung on the city tower, which greatly boosted the determination of the soldiers and civilians defending the city.

Seeing the heavy casualties, Dai Shan ordered a temporary withdrawal of troops and regrouped.

During the recuperation period, he sent the Han people who had surrendered into the city to persuade them to surrender.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Yingxuan directly took these Han people to the city tower and killed them in front of the Houjin army and the Changli army and civilians to show his determination to defend the city.

"The Han people have a saying, for the mountains and nine thousands, the success falls short."

Dai Shan said to the generals: "If we can't conquer Changli, our army will face the difficulty of not being able to cut off the Jinzhou Army, the Guanning Army and the Ming Court."

Soldiers, you should work tirelessly to capture Changli with me. ”

At this time, the herald entered the account and reported: "Da Baylor, I have found out the information that Yang Chengying has sent troops and is heading towards Changli." ”

"He's finally out there."

Dai Shan turned his head to look at the herald: "Does the Great Khan have any orders?" ”

"The Great Khan asked the Great Belle to contain Yang Chengying, and the Great Khan will personally lead the army to besiege Funing City and cut off Yang Chengying's back road."

The herald replied respectfully and quickly.

"Okay, I know what to expect."

Dai Shan knew that there were only more than 7,000 people under his command, and they still scraped together. It is not easy to contain tens of thousands of Golden State troops.

But for the sake of the future of the Dajin Kingdom, he must hold on!

"Report ......"

Another herald entered the account: "The sentinel cavalry in front has detected that Yang Chengying's army is rapidly approaching our army. ”

"Order, all armies quickly assemble to the west gate, with the Mongol army on the left flank, the left and right flanks of our army combined on the right flank, and I personally lead the Chinese army to prepare to resist the enemy!"

Dai Shan ordered to the herald beside him.

The Houjin army quickly assembled and set up a formation near the west gate of Changli.

Zuo Yingxuan, Meng Qiaofang, Ma Guangyuan and others on the city tower were feeling strange, and suddenly saw a neat lineup and a large army with banners waving in the north approaching rapidly.

"Could it be that the Golden State Army is here?"

Meng Qiaofang guessed.

"It's also possible that Guan Ningjun is the army." Ma Guangyuan guessed.

"No matter which support army it is, it should be friend and foe."

Zuo Yingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, such a long offensive and defensive battle made him tired and highly nervous.

No need for them to guess.

A moment later, a sentry galloped to the city: "On the orders of Yang Shuai, the soldiers and civilians defending the city in Changli are not allowed to leave the city for half a step. ”
