The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 266 Golden State Meat Grinder (1)

On December 5, Houjin's [-]-odd army and [-] civilians came to Fuzhou and occupied the city again.

Accompanied by a large amount of military supplies, and fifty Hongyi cannons.

After seeing that Fuzhou was not damaged, Hou Jin moved his headquarters to Fuzhou.

At this time, it was very close to Jinzhou, and sentry cavalry from both sides could meet on the road.

The sentry cavalry of the Ming army was the same as before. When they saw it from afar, they turned around and ran away, and did not fight with the Houjin soldiers.

After it was done, the Jinbeiles yelled at each other, the Lushun army didn't accept them at night, just like Ding Shuo, they were cowardly as a mouse and would run away whenever they met.

And there is one that looks like brown candy. After the Jin army retreated, they followed up. After the Jinshao rode forward, they immediately turned around and ran away.

The rear golden cavalry yelled angrily, and there was nothing they could do about it.

Huang Taiji also cursed when he heard it: "Dragon begets dragon, rat begets rat, Ding Yibing is as dirty as him."

On the [-]th, Dajin and Baylor civil servants gathered at the city of Fuzhou, and they were discussing to attack there first.

Yesterday Hou Jinqishao ran around the city wall along the south pass, and found that Ding Yi's city wall was taller, with more cannons on it, and various shooting holes stacked with sandbags, densely packed, all the way .

In the past, no ditches were dug outside these walls. Looking at it this time, as long as there are pits that can be dug along the way, they are all pits.

Huang Taiji even ran to have a look in person, but he was afraid of being hit by Lushun's cannon, and the distance was relatively far.

After reading it, I went to see Golden State again.

Seeing this, hiss, Zhong Baylor gasped, this Nin Niang Ding mouse really lived up to its reputation.

There is still a complete piece of land in front of Jinzhou City?
Within two miles are all kinds of pits, countless pits, densely packed, almost hollowing out the front of Jinzhou City.

The key point is that these pits are not deep, and each one is not big, only about thirty or forty centimeters deep.

Because the pit is not big, people cannot lie down in it, but it is very difficult to push the shield cart through it.

It's disgusting.

In theory, they could also dig the soil and fill it all the way.

But this is very slow and will be bombarded all the way.

After looking at the two places, everyone returned to Fuzhou, and Baylor immediately shouted to go to the South Pass first, regardless of Jinzhou, and rushed directly to Lushun to capture Na Dingyi alive.

And there are not so many pits in front of the South Gate, you can push the shield car up.

The key is that the defense line at the South Pass is relatively long. They have many soldiers and horses, and they can attack in multiple places. There is always one place that can be breached.

Everyone listened, and it seemed to make sense.

It was also suggested that Jinzhou should be besieged on all sides, with Dajin having more soldiers and horses and Ding Yi having fewer soldiers and horses, so they could attack on all sides.

Huang Taiji was silent, thinking about something in his mind.

After a long time, he said slowly: "If you were Ding Yi, would you put a large number of troops there?"

"Of course Lushun and Nanguankou." Azig said.

That is Ding Mouse's home, there is no reason not to guard it.

Everyone nodded in unison.

Huang Taiji smiled: "That Ding Mouse purposely dug a little hole outside the South Pass, but in fact, he dug for more than a year inside the city wall, because there is a city wall blocking it, we don't know what he's doing behind the gate. What, I can suspect that he hollowed out the back, believe it or not."

Everyone laughed, feeling that Ding Yi would definitely do this.

"They've only occupied Jinzhou City for less than half a year."

"As far as the fortifications are complete and there are many soldiers and horses, the South Pass must be the most."

"He deliberately dug fewer holes at the South Gate, and dug a lot of holes in Jinzhou, just to give us an illusion that the South Gate is easy to attack."

The more Huang Taiji talked, the more he felt that he was right, and finally decided by slapping his thigh: "Let's attack Jinzhou first. After occupying Jinzhou, we can slowly attack the South Pass."

Huang Taiji's idea is that if he can't fight for a day and it's freezing cold, he must either return to the state, or stay outside, and guard against the Ming army's attack.

If you win the Golden State, you can be stationed in the Golden State, and it will be much easier to attack the South Pass.

All Baylor said that the sweat is wise.

Later, Jin quickly reached an agreement to play Golden State first.

But immediately, whether to open the south gate or the north gate first, caused another controversy.

Some people say that there are many soldiers and horses in Houjin, so they can besiege from all sides and attack the city together.

However, in the history of the later Jin Dynasty, there were very few ant-attached sieges.

In the past, Ming people's cities were opened from the inside by careful work.

When Ningyuan was victorious, he attacked once, but returned without success.

Therefore, Hou Jin is not good at attacking cities with long ants, and he is even less willing to do so.

When they entered the pass, when they encountered cities that the Ming army defended more vigorously, they would bypass them and only fight well.

Including the just-concluded Daling City, it is also besieged but not attacked, and will not go to Ant Possession.

Because Hou Jin had few soldiers, he could not use ants to attack the city, and he could not afford to lose elite soldiers.

This time Huang Taiji dared to come, because he had just surrendered [-] Han troops.

They intend to make the Han army ants possessed.

Considering that the Han army was prone to collapse, and that there were countless pits dug around Jinzhou City, Huang Taiji and Hou Jinbeile quickly decided to defend the second gate, attack the south gate and the north gate by force, and mainly attack the south gate.

Concentrate most of the troops, mainly attacking the south gate.

The terrain on all sides of Jinzhou is different, and the other two sides are not conducive to the march of the army, so they can only attack the north and south gates.

The south gate is the most suitable place to fight, and Ding Yi also attacked Jinzhou from here.

So Houjin reached an agreement to attack Jinzhou first and focus on Nancheng.

Li Shuitai could not stand in the front right now, he was far behind.

The rich and powerful gathered, even his father Li Yongfang stayed behind, so naturally he couldn't squeeze in front.

But after hearing Huang Taiji's words, he narrowed his eyes depressedly.

"What's the matter, what are you thinking?" Zaba was with Li Soltai during this time.

The two are connected with the same disease, and both are partners who have been defeated by Ding Yi several times.

Li Soltai thought for a while: "I think it's better to go to the South Pass. I think Ding Yi will be in Jinzhou."

"Why?" Zaba didn't understand that a person like Ding Yi who was greedy for life and afraid of death would definitely hide in the South Pass.

"The outside of Jinzhou is full of pits. If we hit the South Pass, Jinzhou people can't come out to help."

"There are only a small number of pits at the South Pass. Let's fight Jinzhou, and they can come out to help at any time."

"Therefore, it is best to attack the South Pass first, without dividing troops on two fronts."

"Besides, the city of Jinzhou is small, and our [-] army can't even spread it out."

"The defense line at the South Gate is long. Our [-] troops can spread out to attack everywhere. There is always something we can conquer, and the pressure on the Ming army will be great."

Zaba nodded: "You seem to be right, but no one will listen to you."

Zaba himself is also a small role here, and he can't speak at all.

And this was not the time when he wanted to deliver the message, Huang Taiji had already started to give orders.

First, [-] Han troops, plus [-] Hongyi cannons, attacked the south gate of Jinzhou, and then [-] Jin troops waited behind, as soon as they opened the city gate, they rushed up.

There are also [-] Mongolian troops and [-] Han troops, watching the South Pass to prevent troops from sending out at the South Pass.

There are also five thousand soldiers and horses of Houjin guarding several other directions.

When Li Shuitai heard that the Han army was leading the battle again, he felt even more inappropriate.

If this is a defeat, it will definitely hurt morale.

But Huang Taiji's order has been issued, and everyone acts according to the order.

Large numbers of soldiers and horses soon began to assemble.

After lunch at noon that day.

On behalf of Huang Taiji, Tong Yangxing announced to the Han army that each person would be given two taels of silver, and the first to attack Jinzhou City would be promoted to three ranks and raise the flag.

The Han soldiers screamed one after another, as if they had eaten chicken blood.

In history, under the leadership of Ming generals, the Han army lost nine out of ten battles, but when they switched to Houjin, they were extremely fierce.

There is also a reason for this and Houjin's non-deduction of salary.

Tong Yangxing went on to say, those who retreat before the battle, beheaded.

The front retreats, and the rear can be cut.

Back also back, all beheaded.

In other words, outside the city of Jinzhou, there are [-] post-Golden cavalry and [-] Mongolian cavalry. Han soldiers, retreat, where are you going?

Everyone looked awe-inspiring. Knowing this battle, they could only move forward in a bloody battle, and there was no way to retreat.

After having lunch that day and paying the payment, nearly 3000 troops (with [-] troops left guarding Fuzhou) slowly approached and soon came to the outside of Jinzhou City.

Huang Taiji divided the soldiers and horses into several waves, one wave of more than 2 people looked at the South Pass, and another wave of [-] people surrounded Jinzhou City.

Just as Ding Yi thought, they also chose to attack from the south gate. Of the [-] Han troops, [-] were at the south gate and [-] were at the north.

Only the south gate of Jinzhou is spacious and flat, which is more suitable for large corps to fight, and this is the only choice for Houjin.

Fifty Hongyi cannons were also quickly pulled to the scene, lined up facing Jinzhou City three miles away.

Then thousands of people pushed hundreds of shield cars to the scene, and the densely packed shield cars lined up outside Jinzhou City like ants.

There are also a large number of people in the middle of the two waves of soldiers and horses. Many of them are blank and lifeless, like walking dead.

Huang Taiji rode his horse at a high place, looked at Jinzhou City in the distance, and waved his hand: "Attack."

"Woo!" The attack horn sounded instantly.
