The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 268

"I seem to hear cannon fire?"

Wei Yi asked suspiciously in Jinzhou City.

Some people said they heard it, some said they didn't, and some said it should be the artillery of Dalinghe Fort.

The barbarian army besieged Dalinghe Fort heavily, and there were many cavalry, so it was impossible to inquire about specific information.

He worried and hoped.

Worried about being defeated by the barbarians, looking forward to waiting for good news.

Dasheng Fort, Mumao Fort, Liushui Fort, Dalinghe Fort, Xiaolinghe Fort, and Guangning Youtun Weicheng formed a line of defense.

Guarding Jinzhou City behind.

Except for the Youtun Weicheng in Guangning, if any of the other fortresses were breached, the army could begin to attack Jinzhou.

Dalinghe Fort.

A young general in blue clothes and a military robe, bent his bow and shot arrows, and shot and killed many barbarians by himself.

There are quite a few veteran soldiers among the barbarians who are also accurate in shooting, but they are not as flexible as him. This man's arrow skills make people defenseless.

Under his heroic leadership, there were three places outside the city where the corpses of the barbarians piled up like hills, which shocked the barbarians.

The Mongolian soldiers suffered the most casualties, because most of them were not wearing armor, and rumors were spread in private.

"Don't get close to the general in red."

Luo Ming personally led his men to repel another attack from the barbarians, but his expression was solemn.

There are too many firearms among the barbarians, all the cannons of Dalinghe Fort were destroyed, and now they can only be beaten.

In many places, the city walls are no longer able to stand.

The most important thing is that he felt the unstoppable decline of military morale.

"General, shall we break through?"

A assistant general grabbed Luo Ming and made suggestions to him.

General Napi thought that the barbarian's artillery sounded continuously, and if this continued, Dalinghe Fort would be breached sooner or later, and it would end like this.

It is better to break through and retreat to Jinzhou while there is still energy left.

Luo Ming shouted loudly.

"Son, dead ears, would you rather go away? I will be the ghost of this city, and anyone who wants to go will go! Anyone who dares to reply!"

The sergeants around heard the words, but they were speechless.

Luo Ming didn't dare to retreat.

If he chooses to retreat, this line of defense will be broken.

But they really did not expect that this time the barbarians fought with a large army, they changed their previous tactics and reused artillery.

Although it is known that there are countless firearms in the two cities of Shenyang and Liao, they have not been used by barbarians for many years, and many people think that they are all damaged.

Luo Ming knew that the general's mind was out of publicity, not fear of war.

at night.

They sent cavalry to break through and go to Jinzhou for help.

Wei Yi was shocked when he received the call for help from Dalinghe Fort.

According to the report of the cavalry who broke out, there were countless barbarian artillery, and Dalinghe Fort could not stop the barbarian artillery.

Before he could figure out how to deal with it, a letter from the Acropolis of Youtun, Guangning sent a request for help.

"How to do?"

Wei Yi anxiously asked the generals.

"We must support."

"Who wants to help?"

Wei Yi said while looking at Li Shenghu.

He didn't want to send Jinzhou soldiers out of the city. If the Dalinghe Fort really couldn't be defended, Jinzhou City couldn't afford to lose it.

So what he was thinking about was Jinjiang Town's reinforcements.

Li Shenghu raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and remained silent.

see.

Wei Yi is not covering up either.

"Wang Chun and Li Shenghu each led [-] soldiers to support Dalinghe Fort."

Only the Acropolis of Youtun in Guangning, he didn't mention it, neither did everyone else.

The city is on the east bank of the Daling River.

If you need to cross the river to send reinforcements, and there are barbarian armies all over the place, there will be no way out after crossing the river, and there will be no chance to respond.

You can't win a big battle in the field, you just want to defend with the city, unless you pass a dangerous pass, you will be passive everywhere.

Although Wei Yi had heard this truth, he didn't understand it deeply, and he didn't care about it in his heart. Only now did he realize how powerful it is.

I also understand why there are so many soldiers in Beizhen, but they can't defend the whole area of ​​Beizhen, and they are finally besieged in the isolated city.

The more so, the more reluctant he was to send troops.

Because Jinzhou has a dangerous location.

Without this advantage, Guangning Youtun Weicheng did not dare to go out to fight in the field, and seeing the barbarian troops of various colors, the morale became even lower.

"The thieves are outnumbered, if there is no reinforcements, they will be unstoppable."

Tongzhi Han Bin looked at the commander in dissatisfaction when he heard the commander's words. How can he say such words that destroy his own morale in public?

outside the city.

Hauge led the army to wipe out Donghai Fort, because Huangtaiji deliberately exaggerated his merits, and now he is ordered to lead senior brute generals Mu Long'e, A Gu, etc. to attack Guangning Youtunwei.

Before going on the expedition, Huang Taiji gave him a strict order that although he was the coach, he had to obey Mu Long'e and Ah Gu.

It was Haoge's first real attack on the city, and he didn't dare to make military orders at will. Everything was dominated by two people.

Mu Long'e personally led more than a hundred soldiers.

A wooden sign was erected outside the east gate of Youtun Acropolis in Guangning, and then retreated.

Guangning Youtunwei officers went out of the city to check, and saw a wooden sign that said: "If you fight, you will fight. If you don't fight, you will submit."

This is what the barbarians used to do to the Liaodong army of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Back then, the officers and soldiers from various places in Liaozuo surrendered in anticipation, allowing them to conquer all places smoothly all the way, so that it became their practice.

When Han Bin heard about it, he went out of the city and wrote a few words on the wooden sign himself.

"It is easy to die in battle, but difficult to surrender."

Mu Longer, A Gu and other veterans, surrounded by the young Hauge with an excited face, also came to check in person.

Seeing the reply above, everyone shook their heads.

"Since the occupation of Liaozuo, the officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou that have been re-raised over the years are not the same as before."

Hearing Mu Long'e's words, Agu understood what he meant.

Watch out.

The four characters have not been seen for a long time.

"let's hit."

A Gu said calmly without any extra expression.

Under the dispatch of the veteran, the barbarian army made several rounds of trials, and found out the strength of Guangning Youtunwei, and their confidence greatly increased.

It was such a few tentative sieges that the Youtun Acropolis of Guangning was almost destroyed.

I can't wait for reinforcements.

Commander made a suggestion.

"The matter has come to this, what can I do! Jinzhou is a majestic city, and it is difficult and dangerous to defend. I will go there now."

He was afraid.

Although he said righteous words, he actually wanted to escape.

Han Bin retorted in public.

"If you don't defend the city to the death, even if you go to protect other lands, the imperial court will not spare our lives, so what if we go?"

Although they are not civil servants, they are the hereditary guards of the Acropolis here, and they also bear the responsibility of guarding the land.

Moreover, Han Bin's family went to the capital and defected to his son, and other relatives went to Jinzhou.

He was ready to die.

he died.

Then the family is prosperous, and the son is the censor, and he will be reused by the court's grace.

After hearing these words, the commander had no choice but to accept the fate of dying together.

His family has a higher position than Han Bin.

For the sake of his family, he cannot choose to surrender.

Now that he has declared his will to die, he speaks with emotion.

"But I will die with you."

They are of the same mind as officials.

Pity all these years.

The fort was built in western Liaoning.

The original hereditary military households in western Liaoning had to farm the fields, but they had to pay more. They only had food rations, and they had to serve corvee in the military town.

Although the officers treated them better than before, life remained unchanged.

The Liao people in Jinjiang Town are also suffering.

But they have hope.

The same hardship.

Hope or despair in the heart are two kinds of results.

There were thousands of military and civilian households in the city. When the whole barbarian army attacked from three sides, within half an hour, Guangning Youtun Weicheng was breached.

The commander, Han Bin and others all put on their armor and official uniforms, and sat motionless on their chairs.

In such a situation, they have no one to use.

Several places in the city are still resisting, and more are fleeing towards the gap, creating chaos.

The various units of the barbarian army moved from the outside to the inside, only attacking the inner city.

The officials took off their official uniforms one after another, put on the clothes of the common people, and mixed into the ranks of the common people, trying to escape out of the city.

There were fires all over the city.

After the army and soldiers everywhere were wiped out, the barbarians began to slaughter.

The barbarians said that no dogs or chickens would be spared, that is, no dogs or chickens would be spared, and the women, children, old and young in the city were all slaughtered by the sword.

All men, women, cats and dogs in the city chopped off more than 4 heads.

Tens of thousands of people.

If they work together as one, the barbarians will not be able to break through the city easily.

But people's hearts are scattered, and each has his own thoughts.

It will be defeated with one blow.

Even if you know you can't live, you can't hold a group.

Seeing that they had escaped, many officials did not forget to put back their official uniforms, surrendered to the barbarians, and were willing to serve the barbarians.

The situation is ruined in their hands, but they can still live.

People like the Commander of the Right Tunwei in Guangning, whose families have been sent to other places in the country, still enjoy wealth and honor.

In the end, only the people suffer.

After attacking the city for several days, the barbarians only killed more than [-] people, wounded more than [-] people, captured more than [-] officials and more than [-] women.

Looking at the group of escorts in the army, Hauge couldn't help smiling while riding on the horse.

Young him.

In the two battles in just half a month, the heart was full of vigor and pride.

"Have you ever heard that we barbarians are less than ten thousand and invincible?"

A whip was whipped on an official, and Hauge rode a war horse, condescending, and looked at the official with a proud face.

The official smiled flatteringly.

He is literate and domineering, and he is also used to seeing the market, and he is even more instinctive about flattering.

"The barbarians are less than [-], and they are invincible. Even the original children in the city know."

"In that case, why didn't you choose to surrender?"

Hauge beat him with a few more whips.

The official couldn't bear the pain, kneeled on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, loudly blaming the commander of the guard and Tong Zhi and others.

"They are short-sighted, ignorant of the destiny, and go against the general trend, causing the common people in the city to waste their lives, and they are the chief culprits.

A slave is a person whose heart is towards the master. He is loyal, but he is soft-spoken and cannot fight against them. "

"Hahaha, dog slave!"

Hauge looked up to the sky and smiled.

Although the voice is immature, it is full of pride.

The barbarian veterans around saw his interest and didn't stop him.

Moreover, the ugly appearance of the official kneeling on the ground relieved everyone's boredom, and the rest of the barbarians even laughed at him.

The rest of the officials were afraid of being beaten and scolded, so they took the initiative to kneel on the ground, and also expressed their loyalty and willingness to do things for the Khan.

Hundreds of women.

Their families were slaughtered and tied together with ropes.

"Pooh."

Some women cursed.

"Let her come over."

Hauge pointed his whip at the woman.

Immediately, several barbarians ran over, untied the slipknot on the woman's wrist, pulled her out, and threw her to the ground.

"Aren't you convinced by your officials' words?"

Hauge sized up the woman, and seeing her appearance, she was indeed quite pretty, and was sad that she could survive.

The woman got up, patted the dust off her body, and didn't even look at the officials.

"Since the barbarians are invincible, what about Marquis Ping Liao? Why did your leader of the bandits die at the hands of Marquis Ping Liao?"

Hauge was furious.

Get off your horse and beat the woman.

The woman was beaten and rolled on the ground, but she didn't cry out.

"The first Khan died of illness, how could he die at the hands of the Tang man? You ignorant women and children, dare to speak falsely, and watch how I whip you to death."

Hauge's head was sweating, and the woman lay motionless on the ground, still puzzled.

"Wait, let's see how I will destroy that dog thief in the future."
