1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 452 Attacking Liaodong ([-])
"Seven people were killed in the Marine Corps, eight were seriously injured, and 16 were slightly injured; five local soldiers were killed and six were slightly injured; three sailors who disembarked to support were killed, two were seriously injured, and five were slightly injured; our army had a total of 52 casualties Most of the above casualties were caused by Jiannu's bow and arrow shooting (death), and a few people were caused by intercepting Jiannu cavalry from fleeing."

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Rucheng and his party of four sailed near the Gaizhou Wharf, transferred to a small boat and landed ashore, and entered the already occupied Gaizhou City. Xu Chuanxing came to him and reported to him the battle with Jiannu with a serious face. result.

"In this battle, 110 soldiers of the Eight Banners of Jiannu were killed, 45 were injured, and 62 were captured. It is estimated that less than ten escaped." Xu Chuanxing said: "All the family members and coats of Jiannu in the city were captured. Most of the more than 800 Ming people who were captured from the pass by Jiannu were young and middle-aged, and there were very few women, and none of them were in good health."

"How could there be more than ten casualties when the township soldiers attacked a city of Gaizhou that was not defended by slaves?" Luo Rucheng asked.

"Among the Jiannu family, some strong women and half-grown men held weapons and guarded the house, counterattacking the villagers who invaded the family area... They were a little careless, so more than a dozen people were killed or injured." Xu Chuanxing said shaking his head.

"Afterwards, how did you deal with it?"

"All those who held weapons were shot to death." Xu Chuanxing said: "The methods behind the village soldiers are a bit...a bit violent."

"The places on fire in the east of the city, did they do it?"

Xu Chuanxing nodded silently.

"Damn it, the mother wolf and the wolf cubs are f*cking hungry wolves!" Luo Rucheng cursed, and then walked into the original Jiannugai Prefecture Commander's Mansion.

"How about the capture in the city?" Luo Rucheng sat on a large grand master's chair with a big horse, and looked left and right at this official hall, which may be the so-called commanding mansion of Jiannu. On the wall are a Siberian tiger skin and a Bear skin, and several sets of calligraphy and paintings, the whole layout seems a bit nondescript.

"More than 100 taels of gold and more than 8000 taels of silver were confiscated in this commanding mansion, as well as a large number of antique jewelry." Xu Chuanxing said with a smile: "However, the big head is probably not here yet. The brothers of the Marine Corps have already started to deal with the township soldiers. Searching the houses where slaves were built should yield a lot. The government treasury, armory, and grain depot in the city are also counting the quantity, and the report will come later."

"What should we do next? What do you have to do?" Luo Rucheng asked: "I have been at sea all year round, and I am not very familiar with land battles. Everything depends on you, old Xu!"

"Xiongyue City in the south (now Xiongyue Town, Gaizhou City) and Yingkou City (now Dashiqiao City, Yingkou City) in the north are less than [-] miles away from here. There are more than a thousand people, and there are a lot of supplies, and there are only dozens of soldiers of the Han Eight Banners stationed. At this time, there are still two hours before dark, if you rush there on horseback, it should not be difficult to take it down. "

"Are you planning to pull out all the Jianshou strongholds near Gaizhou City?" Luo Rucheng asked with a smile.

"It's a rare time to come here and clean up the strongholds near Jiannu!" Xu Chuanxing said: "Besides, I plan to set up an ambush there after taking Yingkou City, and severely damage the Jiannu reinforcements who came from Haizhou. "

Defeating and almost wiped out more than 200 Jiannu soldiers head-on, and there were nearly [-] Jiannu armored cavalry among them, which gave Xu Chuanxing a bit of confidence in his heart, and also had a more intuitive understanding of Jiannu's combat effectiveness.A company of marine soldiers should be enough to fight against the same number of slave cavalry, and if the opponent is infantry, it can easily wipe them out.

"Okay, just follow your plan." Luo Rucheng patted Xu Chuanxing on the shoulder, "I will organize the captured Ming people in Gaizhou City to sort out and count the supplies, and by the way, move some onto the ship first."

With the sound of the assembly horn, the marines and soldiers scattered in Gaizhou City rushed to the school ground near the Bell and Drum Tower in the south of the city. After listening to the officer's mission order, they were astonished and immediately began to recruit mules, horses and donkeys in the city. Waiting for travel tools.During this period, many township soldiers were quite resistant to the commander's continuous combat order, but then the chief announced in public that after the capture of the two places, all personnel who participated in the battle could be allowed to hand over only [-]% of their personal seizures, which immediately aroused the marines and the township soldiers. enthusiasm for combat.

During the search in Gaizhou City, the houses of those Tartars had hidden a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and jade, as well as a lot of silk and satin.However, according to the wartime regulations and the orders of the chief, all soldiers seized, they can only keep [-]% at most.But even so, their rucksacks were filled with a lot of gold, silver, pearls and jade.

Although Xiongyue City and Yingkou City are not as large as Gaizhou City, there are at least a certain number of Tartars, which can satisfy the looting of combat soldiers.Worst of all, the number of houses seized from those Han army flag homes should not be too small.

On October 10, before evening, more than 30 officers and soldiers of the Qi State Marine Corps rushed to Yingkou City.Although dozens of local Eight Banners Han troops had been warned by the Jiannu cavalry fleeing through this place, they never expected that the bandit army in black would come so quickly.Caught off guard, he was robbed into the city by officers and soldiers of the Marine Corps. After facing a volley of gunfire and bayonet stabbing, he immediately surrendered.

The more than a hundred township soldiers who did not have enough means of transport, such as pack horses and donkeys, rushed to Xiongyue City when night fell. , seized the city gate.

After repelling the two attacks of the Eight Banners Han army in the city, they stood firm until dawn the next day, and then wiped out the remaining Eight Banners Han army street by street, announcing that all the captured Ming people in the city will become free people. And began to organize them to move the materials in the city to the sea.

On the afternoon of November 11, the Qi State Marine Corps defeated more than 1 Jiannu cavalry who came to aid in the canyon three miles outside Yingkou City, at the cost of two people killed and seven injured, killing and wounding more than 120 prisoners, and the remnants of Jiannu soldiers and horses. He fled back to Haizhou in embarrassment.If the officers and soldiers of the Marine Corps were not proficient in riding skills, it would be difficult to catch up with the fleeing Jiannu, otherwise, there might be more Jiannu cavalry left behind.

The news of defeating the Jiannu reinforcements from Haizhou will surely spread to Liaoyang, which is more than 300 miles away, within a few days. The retreat will not take longer than six days.

Faced with as many as 3000 Ming people and a large number of supplies, Luo Rucheng regretted that he should bring more boats from Changshan Island.Four warships, one of which is a professional warship, simply cannot take away so many people and supplies.Moreover, it was winter now, so it was naturally impossible to make rafts and put people in them. If so, the people on the rafts would freeze to death after they could not go far on the sea.

"Put all the bulky materials such as copper, iron, and utensils, as well as the armor and weapons captured by the slaves, on the wooden raft." Luo Rucheng felt a little unbearable when he saw the captive Ming people gathering in Gaizhou City one after another. Ship them all... take away as much as possible. As for the grain, you can take as much as you can, and if you can't transport it, burn it all. All facilities in the city must be demolished and destroyed, preferably not even a single intact house Leave it to Jian Nu."

"What about those captured Jian slaves?" asked a Marine Corps officer.

"All the wounded were thrown in Gaizhou City. The intact ones were tied up firmly, and they were all thrown into the bottom cabin! No way, they will be exchanged for hostages in the future."

On November 11th, the four warships of Qi State slowly sailed away from the Gaizhou Wharf. On each warship, nearly 5 rescued Ming people filled all the ships, even the upper deck It was also full of people.Seeing this situation, many sailors just shook their heads secretly.Although it was less than a four-day voyage to Nanchangshan Island, many people would definitely die on the way due to such a crowded environment and the weak physical condition of the captives.

But every Ming who boarded the ship had a look of relief on their faces, and they were finally about to escape from Jiannu's clutches.In the hands of Jiannu in Liaodong, they all lived a life that was not as good as a cow or a horse. Even if they died on the boat, it would be a hundred times better than being tortured and humiliated by Jiannu to death.

Behind each warship is a row of fishing boats and several wooden rafts, which are also piled up with various seized bulky materials and a large amount of food.As for how much can be safely brought back to Changshan Island, it can only depend on how much face the Dragon King in the sea can give.

On November 11, more than a thousand Jiannu cavalry galloped from Liaoyang to Gaizhou City.What appeared in front of them was a dilapidated city, most of the city walls were demolished, and the houses and various facilities in the city were also severely damaged. Moreover, it was obvious that when the group of black-clothed thieves were leaving, piles of Many fire starters made the whole city blackened by the fire.

As for Xiongyue City in the south, it will definitely be like Yingkou City and Gaizhou City in front of us.This gang of thieves in black are so thieves!

"Tell me, what did those bandits in black say?" The Han Army Zhenglan Banner Gushan Erzhen Bayan (the fifth son of Li Yongfang) was riding on a horse, looking down at one of the Baqi Banners who was left to die. Han soldiers.

"Return...return to your lord." The seriously injured soldier of the Eight Banners Han army resisted the pain in his leg and said tremblingly: "They said that they were soldiers and horses from the Daqi Kingdom of Hanzhou, because they were not angry with my brutal Qing Dynasty. They also said that if the Qing Dynasty breaks through Beijing and captures their Daqi envoys, they must take good care of them. They will exchange the captured Qing officers and soldiers for them.”

"Hanzhou?... Great Qi Kingdom?" Bayan looked around, showing a puzzled expression, "Do you know where this Great Qi Kingdom is located and what is its origin?"

A few Eight Banners officers of the Han Army shook their heads, expressing their ignorance.

"Carry it down so that it can be healed....Give him a fur. Don't be so serious that he won't die from serious injuries. Instead, he will freeze to death." Bayan looked up at the dilapidated Gaizhou City, and said with a slight sigh: " It is estimated that this matter will be brought to Shengjing, and the emperor will be furious!"
