The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 443
Azig asked, isn't there several roads to Jinzhou?
Someone replied, cavalry is not easy to walk, it is all mountainous, and it is easy to defend. If the Ming people are guarded, they must be attacked by infantry.Even if there is no one guarding them, they will have to walk the road under Baiyun Mountain in the end.

Among the surrendered generals, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming knew the topography of Jinfu and Jinzhou very well, but after Jin occupied it for many years, they didn't know much about it.

There is the Fuzhou River on the side of Fuzhou, which is connected to Beigou. Beigou is an important point. This is why Ding Yi built the city here, and it is also the reason why Huang Taiji must fight Ding Yi hard at the place chosen by Ding Yi. .

After Beigou, there are three roads to and from Fuzhou. However, in Beigou, it is difficult for a large number of soldiers and horses to walk on the mountain trails, let alone artillery.

The east of Beigou is full of mountains, and the cavalry has to go around a long way, and the best way to walk is near Baiyun Mountain.

Going down from Baiyun Mountain, the road is flat, and the bottom is full of the best fertile land in Jinzhou, with 10,000+ mu contiguous to Fuzhou.

Ding Yi plans to build his next city at the foot of Baiyun Mountain. Once the two cities are built, his more than 20 mu of land will be safe.

So Kong Youde finally said: "If I guessed correctly, Ding Yi built the city behind Beigou, and the next one will definitely be built under Baiyun Mountain."

"At that time, we will have nothing to do with him. We will just watch him hoard fields in Fuzhou and Jinzhou."

Of course, there are still many mountain trails, and Hou Jin's infantry can go in, but it is no problem for ordinary Ming troops.

But you only use infantry, without cavalry and artillery, how can you fight someone like Ding Yi?
"This Ding Yi is so difficult to deal with and acts so lowly. He must not be allowed to build a city in Beigou, but must be broken." Azige yelled loudly.

"This is also the reason why I have to come." Of course Huang Taiji knew that this was the same as Dalinghe back then, even worse than Dalinghe Fort.

The key point is that Ding Yi took the lead this time. Ding Mouse has already dug a hole in Beigou.

If Huang Taiji's soldiers and horses arrived first, the situation would be different.

But if Ding Yi is not defeated this time, it will be useless for Huang Taiji to arrive first next time when Ding Yi's city is built.

Huang Taiji originally thought that Ding Yi would stay in Fuzhou City and not come out, but he didn't expect to dare to come out and fight him this time.

Ding Yi was also allowed to occupy Beigou first.

"That's it. Abate, you should be careful when going to Baiyun Mountain. If the Ming army is guarding and you can't attack, don't force yourself. You can't lose a lot of troops." Huang Taiji told Abate.

Abatai nodded in agreement at the time, and I don't know what he was thinking.

"Ding Yi has already occupied Beigou, we need to speed up, and we can't give him time to dig a hole." Huang Taiji said the last sentence, and the rich and powerful at the scene yelled, if you give Ding Shuo a little time, he can make Daming Believe it or not?
Speed ​​up quickly, and the Houjin soldiers rushed to Beigou quickly.

On September 9th, Xiao Yongqiu's department, He Liangwu's department, and two battalions of 4 soldiers gathered in Tieshan.

Knowing that Huang Taiji was coming to attack Lushun, Ding Yi also made a move, you hit yours, I hit mine, and sent Xiao Yongqiu and He Liangwu to attack Zhenjiang.

Last time they fought Zhenjiang once, and then returned it to Houjin. The last time they fought Zhenjiang was to meet Kong Youde, this time they fought Fuzhou to avenge Huang Taiji.

Moreover, Ding Yi should teach Huang Taiji a good lesson, and let him know that not only the Houjin soldiers can take the initiative to attack others, but our Lushun army can too.

At this time, Xiao Yongqiu and He Liangwu had 6 soldiers and horses. According to the calculation of three divisions per battalion, three rounds per division, and six guns per round, they brought a total of 108 6-pounder field guns.

At the same time, he brought out 12 10-pound field guns, 120 large carriages, and 300 mules and horses. He also mobilized [-] soldiers from Phi Island to join the battle, because Ding Yi knew that there was no danger here, and the fight would be easy. Hoarding troops to meet on the battlefield.

According to Ding Yi's request, Xiao Yongqiu and He Liangwu's troops wanted to conquer Zhenjiang, Tangzhan, Xianshanbao, Phoenix City, Xuancheng, Xiuyan, and several other Houjinbao cities.

These fortresses used to belong to the Ming army, but now they are occupied by Hou Jin.

After Ding Yi studied gold, he broke through various forts and plundered people and supplies.

The ultimate goal given to Xiao Yongqiu is the front line of Phoenix City, because they have no cavalry, and if they go further, they will be close to Liaoyang. If a large number of Houjin soldiers surround them, it will be difficult to fight, and it will be difficult to retreat completely.

It was the first time Xiao Yongqiu led the army to stand alone, and he was very excited. Before the war, he and He Liangwu looked at and studied the sand table maps of Dongjiang and Liaodong and Liaonan that Ding Yi had made for them, and studied for several days.

"Damn it." He Liangwu looked at the sand table and yelled, "If there are [-] soldiers, I dare to fight Hetuala."

Xiao Yongqiu smiled and shook his head: "You can't hit that side now."

"Why?" He Liangwu stared at him.

Xiao Yongqiu thought for a while, and said in Ding Yi's tone, "It's not in the interests of our Dongjiang Town."

"..." He Liangwu seemed to understand but thought for a while, and soon an expression of sudden understanding appeared on his face.

He rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Then build a few more forts. In the past, Jiannu liked to attack our forts without any problems. Let them have a taste this time."

"According to Lord Ding's request, the fight is too far away, and it is not easy to come back." Xiao Yongqiu said slowly: "We have few soldiers, we can't afford to lose, we can't be defeated badly."

"Okay." He Liangwu shrugged.

On the afternoon of the 6th, a large number of Huang Taiji soldiers and horses were still on their way to Beigou. Xiao Yongqiu, with 1 horses plus more than 100 carts, had already arrived at Zhenjiang Fort.

In these small forts, the Houjin army is basically dominated by the Han army, and some will put one or two teams of Houjin soldiers, or Mongolian soldiers.

Usually the number of people in a fort is about the same as that of the Ming army, about two to three hundred people.

In the past few years, apart from Ding Yi, almost no Ming army would take the initiative to attack.

This time Ding Yi's soldiers and horses pressed in, and the Jin soldiers in the fort were shocked and frightened.

Ding Yi's soldiers and horses are sharp, they are clear, and they know that they fight differently.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Yongqiu's troops arrived at the scene, he first set up artillery positions, and a large number of field artillery were fired at the gate of the fort.

The two sides immediately launched a bombardment, and the Jinshou Fort only had Franji and General Tie Cannon, but no Hongyi Cannon.

In this way, it is far inferior to Xiao Yongqiu in terms of range and firepower.

But Xiao Yongqiu still wanted to move the artillery forward until it was 200 meters away from the gate of the fort. The old way was to use sandbags to pile up the positions. If the positions were piled up, the artillery on the opposite side would be completely useless.

Then the field artillery pushed up and blasted wildly. In less than an hour, the gate of Zhenjiang Fort was broken, and the Hou Jin army inside immediately scattered and fled.

Then Xiao Yongqiu didn't chase the enemy, and after he entered, he didn't stay behind, robbed food, rice and property, and burned them all.

He Liangwu soon thought of an even more unique prescription.

He said that after you burn down some houses, the foundation of the wall is still there. Hou Jin waited for us to leave, and after we came back, he fiddled with it a little, and he could stockpile troops again.

So they started pushing the house.

Gather the captives captured by breaking the forts all the way to dig the corners, dig first and then push.

Then knock down the whole wall, and with a bang, a house collapses.

Break the fort all the way, push all the way, push one and hit the next.

The whole army is in full swing, and there is almost no difficulty. Some fortresses saw them building artillery arrays, and ran away without fighting.

Just when Xiao Yongzhen broke through the Jindun Forts one by one and razed them to the ground, Huang Taiji's soldiers and horses also came ten miles north of Beigou.

The war is about to start.
