The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 77
Hetuala City.

Since the Battle of Fushun, the Eight Banners Army has obtained [-] horses and [-] armors, and the weapons and equipment are incomparable.

It lasted for a week, the Eight Banners Army marched from Fushun, Dongzhou, Magendan, and the Eight Banners cavalry lined up for hundreds of miles, combed and plundered more than [-] small forts and villages, and captured more than [-] people and animals.

Over the past few years, the battle with Saerhu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the attack on the grassland disobedient tribes, the capture of Shenyang, the descending of Liaoyang, and the surrender of more than a dozen acropolis... The strength of the barbarians has grown like a snowball.

The fall of Jinfu Erzhou was the first defeat of the barbarians in so many years.

Geng Bingyuan fell on the ground, not daring to move, not knowing how Dahan would deal with him.In the hall, Zhu Mangu Shan Ezhen, Meile Ezhen and others looked angry.

Li Yongfang was behind the crowd, with no emotion on her face, she kept her mouth shut and said nothing.

Geng Bingyuan was recommended by himself. I don't know if Da Khan will blame himself.

"There are nearly [-] soldiers in the two states of Jinfu. How could they be easily taken away by the Zhou army? How many troops did they come? Did they all come across the sea?"

An old slave who is nearly sixty years old, has been a soldier all his life, and has a majesty of his own.People commented that he was good at fighting, tenacious, and not greedy for women.

"The army of Zhou has less than [-] people. The failure of the former slaves made it easy to cross the sea and lead to defeat, but the army is still there, so there is no need to worry.

Unexpectedly, the people in the army were rebellious, and they had already contacted Zhou Bing to rebel. Seeing this, the servant fled back when he was unprepared.

Please punish me profusely, I made a big mistake this time. "

All the barbarians and Han generals looked at the old slave, not knowing how to punish him, Fei Yingdong and the others were also waiting for the order of the sweat.

The old slave suddenly said: "I really want to punish you for this."

Hearing this, Geng Bingyuan's face was pale, and Li Yongfang was thinking whether she should help him, or whether she would get angry.

"But you are loyal after all. If you lose the city, you will regain it again. Will I let you take the blame and make meritorious service?"

When the old slave changed the subject, everyone was surprised.

Geng Bingyuan's face was full of disbelief, and he kowtowed again and again when he came to his senses.

"The slave is willing, the slave requests to be the vanguard, the first to climb the city wall, and wash away the humiliation for himself."

"it is good."

Isn't it just a disadvantage of being attacked by someone? In his opinion, he is not afraid of losing the battle, and he values ​​the morale of the army more.

The old slave looked at his sons again.

"Huang Taiji, A Min, you divide up [-] soldiers and dispatch troops along the road to retake the two places and destroy that group of Zhou soldiers."

"Father Khan Order."

The old slave suddenly laughed.

"I've heard people say that the Tang general is extremely good at fighting, and young and energetic. He is a hidden talent in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Fushun's son-in-law, you can try to recruit him. I will let him be my grandson-in-law, and I will make him my grandson-in-law." State gave him."

It's not that he is stingy with Jinzhou's money and food, but that in the eyes of the old slave, the terrain of Jinzhou is too important to pay outsiders lightly.

Li Yongfang stood up and took orders.

Da Khan's mind is as broad as the sky, which is really unmatched and has already impressed him.

The old slave really hoped that Zhou would be able to return to himself.

One is that he loves his talents, and the other is that he knows that he is unable to send a large army to conquer, so he only sent a few thousand soldiers.

Since the opponent knows the soldiers, I'm afraid they won't be able to win easily.

He sighed inwardly.

Huang Taiji and A Min led the Banner troops and led the Jialaerzhens from Hetuala. They mobilized Han generals and soldiers in Kuandian and Dingliao, totaling 8000 people.

Huangtaiji is the eighth son of the old slave, and Amin is the son of the younger brother of the old slave, who is six years older than Huangtaiji.

34-year-old Amin and 28-year-old Huangtaiji belong to the four major Baylors enshrined by old slaves. They discuss state affairs together and have their own officials.

Although Amin was only 34 years old, he exterminated the Wula tribe and the Yehe tribe, assisted the old slaves to unify the barbarians, and then went through the battle of Sarhu, the battle of Shenyang, and the battle of Liaoyang.

It can be said that he has made great achievements in battle and is an extremely good fighter.

"I heard that Zhou Guo's General Tang only came to Liaodong for one year to serve in the army. Let's count him as talented, but I'm not worried about him when the two armies are fighting against each other."

Although Huang Taiji is the son of the old slave and has always been loved by him, he does not dare to underestimate the cousin beside him.

Although his deceased father had some taboos, who is this old slave?

Not only did Amin still be reused, but he was also allowed to serve as the owner of the Xianglan Banner, which shows the heart of the old slave, and Amin has always been loyal to the old slave.

"Is it because you are worried that General Tang will not be able to shrink?"

Huangtaiji is talented and intelligent, and has already guessed Amin's scruples.

Amin nodded.

Although he has not been to the land of Jinzhou, he has already seen it clearly from the map, and with the explanations of surrendered generals Geng Bingyuan and Li Yongfang, he already knows that this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The advantage of the Eight Banners soldiers lies in field battles, not in siege.

There are still a few cities in Liaozuo who are stubbornly resisting, as well as the soldiers and people of Zhou who are hiding in the dangerous mountains and are unwilling to surrender.

They did not choose to attack by force, but besieged the city to trap them to death, because they considered that it was not easy to replenish the barbarian soldiers.

However, Jinzhou City is different from other cities. It guards narrow checkpoints and is surrounded by the sea on both sides.

In the first battle of Liaoyang, three days and nights of attacking fortified positions, although he won the victory and took the city, but his own loss also made the old slave feel distressed.

The significance of Jinzhou is completely inferior to that of Liaoyang.

Liaoyang is the capital of Liaodong, so the barbarians attacked regardless of casualties, but Jinzhou is not worth it.

"There is no such thing as everything in the world, let's go and find out, maybe we can find a chance to fight."

Hearing Huangtaiji's remarks, Amin agreed that this was the only way to go.

A good fighter, Tang Qingan also, the Great Wall of the country.

Thinking of the words of the great eunuch in Jinzhou, Tang Qing'an smiled wryly, and Tang Qing'an felt pressured.

Jia's fine handwriting is really...too violent.

In the original plan, Jinzhou could be lost. The big deal is to return to the sea. The situation changes too fast, and he can't keep up with the situation.

Tang Qing'an really only withheld a little supplies, and let the fleet go away. I believe Shi Nai will not blame himself.

He recruited Shen Yourong, the general of the Tianjin navy, and Yan Zhengzhong, the captain, together with Li Er, Gou'er and other naval generals.

During the time he went to Jinzhou, Jinzhou recruited 1000 new soldiers, plus the original [-] soldiers, Jinzhou City had [-] soldiers.

Shen Yourong, Yan Zhengzhong brought 4000 ships and 500 sailors, plus his own 160 ships and 500 sailors, a total of [-] ships and [-] sailors.

Tang Qing'an, the newly appointed deputy general of Jinzhou, ordered the generals to divide the navy into three divisions.

One patrols the eastern part of Liaodong Bay, responsible for the area from the mouth of Liaohe River to Changxing Island, and the other goes out of Liaodong Bay to meet refugees in the eastern part of southern Liaoning.

One is stationed on the island, waiting for military orders at any time.

"General Shen, are you willing to treat refugees?"

"The last will obey."

Although the other party was ten years younger than him, Shen Yourong did not dare to underestimate the other party at all. The other party's name was like a thunder, and he was very convinced.

Jinzhou is a protruding area extending from the continental shelf of southern Liaoning to the sea, and its terrain is in the shape of a "six" from top to bottom.

Jinzhou is at the easternmost point of that horizontal line, connecting southern Liaoning and Lushun behind Jinzhou, and this alone is a narrow pass.

After passing the narrow place here in Jinzhou City, the area behind Jinzhou has opened up, so there are countless fertile fields.

It is also the southernmost part of Liaodong. The climate here is slightly warmer. Not only is the land fertile, but the yield per mu is much higher than that of other places in Liaodong.

And if the barbarians want to attack here, they must capture Jinzhou City.

Lushun, which is close to the sea in the south of Jinzhou, passes through this place to leave Liaodong Bay and enter the Yellow Sea.

Therefore, the northwest side of Jinzhou is Liaodong Bay, and the southeast side is the Bohai Sea.

Ordering Shen Yourong to lead the fleet out of Liaodong Bay and into the Bohai Sea also meant to support Jinzhou City from the southeast.
