Chapter 113 Close the door

After resting for a night, Duoze's army continued southward. Half-starved and half-full, they arrived in front of Sanhe City.

In Sanhe, there was no longer the phenomenon of people leaving the city. Instead, the city gates were closed tightly. Military flags, swords and guns were standing on the city. A large number of Ming army soldiers stood at the top of the city, prepared to defend to the death.

Faced with this situation, Duo Ze and Li Yangeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The soldiers and civilians of Sanhe did not run away. As long as he didn't run away, now the slaves have food, grass and supplies.

They thought it would be easy to conquer Sanhe. The Ming Dynasty's army was so virtuous. If you don't run away from the enemy like this, you are considered to have combat effectiveness.

But it's more likely that they didn't have time to escape.

But this so-called combat effectiveness is just about to collapse at the first touch.

Duo Ze smiled at Li Yangeng and said, "If we Manchus can't attack the city, it's up to you Han people."

Li Yangeng said with confidence: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will prepare in one hour, and in two hours at most, I will definitely invite Your Majesty to sit in the Sanhe County Magistrate's Hall."

There is no need for a ladder. Sanhe has been breached four times and has been seriously damaged. Moreover, the city wall is not high, so just use the long pole to push people.

All city walls are not straight up and down, but have a certain slope.

The method of pushing people with a long pole is that four or five soldiers hold on to a long pole, and then a warrior in front holds the head of the pole tightly, supported by four or five brothers running up the slightly sloping city wall. , and then jumped into the city to seize the city.

In fact, as long as this tactic is trained, it will be faster and cause fewer casualties than the ladder climbing method.

The purpose of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty was to attack the city. This kind of siege method was a compulsory subject when facing a low county town.

But it won't work when it comes to such tall cities.

This time, 40,000 Han troops surrounded the small Sanhe City: "We don't want to be surrounded by three and one is missing. We can't let anyone in the city escape. Because they will all be our slaves, including them." The clothes we wear are also our property, how can we let our property escape?"

Li Yangeng's mobilization order was so plain, straightforward, and seductive.

The generals around you should accept it happily.

People like myself were first-class slaves in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so how could we not have lower-level slaves to show off our nobility?

Do you need to have a goal in life? To be a slave, you must be a high-class slave with slaves available.

"Okay, my general has observed that the equipment of the Ming army in the city is very good. Whoever captures it belongs to whoever captures it. Half of the slaves in the city are filial to their masters, and the rest belongs to us. Seventy percent of the property in the city belongs to the master, and the rest belongs to us. Let’s all work hard.”

Don't talk about righteous principles to these traitors, it won't make sense, there is no way to talk about it, and you can't say it out loud. The way to mobilize them is to lure them with real benefits.

When Li Yongfang was training the Han army, he used the benefits of this sub-contract to seduce these unbelievers and become a group of bandits.

Facing the robbery of their mother clan, the robbers have no psychological burden, and they don't need to.

After everything was arranged, Li Yangeng waved his command flag: "Start."

The 40,000 Han troops had no reserve troops and no need for them. They just swarmed, howling and rushing towards the Three Rivers like a tide. They had the aura to submerge the Three Rivers in the blink of an eye.

Lu Mou, who was stationed in Yutian, got the news that Duoze had entered between the Sangou River and the Gu River. After launching an attack on Sanhe, he immediately ordered the Jin Yiwei Fei Ge to pass a message to Jizhou Town to replenish the third division of the Fourth Army. , immediately reoccupied Zunhua and blocked the enemy's retreat.

Lu Chenglong, the commander of the third division, received the message from Fei Ge and slapped his thigh: "Okay, we finally have a combat mission. The second regiment, follow me to fight back to Zunhua and retake Zunhua City.

The soldiers howled that it was time to go to war.

To say that the Third Division really feels aggrieved, since it formed an army, it has only been training hard, getting military pay, and eating well, but it has not fought a single battle.

Finally, Jiannu came, but was asked to abandon Zunhua without a battle as planned.

In the first battle of forming an army, they lost the city and territory. Although this was the plan from above, it also made people feel frustrated and disgraceful. When writing military history, the first battle is like this at the beginning. Is that passing shame on from generation to generation?

No, Lu Zilong decided to write the military history of the Third Division from the time of re-occupying, no, being ordered to seize Zunhua. The first battle of military history must start with a victory.

In Zunhua City, the person left behind was Qian Zong Fan Cheng, the nephew of Fan Wencheng, a bachelor of the Secretariat of the Imperial Court and the most popular person around Huang Taiji at that time.

He boasted about his bravery to his ten hundred subordinates. However, ten hundred households hid aside with disdain in their eyes.

Who do you think you are? No one knows, you are just a useless waste. Essays, you didn't even get a scholar in the imperial examinations like the Jin Daqing, which was almost a scandal.

After joining the Han Army Banner, on the first day of the archery test, he shot the chief examiner and was not killed on the spot.

Even if your uncle Fan Wencheng pulls his pigtails and pulls him hard, he can only be a small ambassador in that fat and short-term household department. His official position is no more than the ninth rank, and his accounting is a mess, full of mistakes, and his hands and feet are not clean. . If it weren't for your old uncle protecting you, you would have been beheaded long ago.

In this expedition, your old uncle forced you into the expedition team for the sake of your future. The purpose was to give you a chance to gain military glory and gild you.

How brave are you? Have you ever fought in a war? Even if you came all the way on horseback, you had to be supported by your dressing servant.

It was also Commander-in-Chief Li Yangeng who took care of your uncle's face and asked you to guard Zunhua, where there would be no war. After you return, you will have accomplished the great feat of keeping the retreat route safe for the army.

Alas, there is no other way. Officialdom is all about helping each other. Li Yangeng helped you, and your uncle will repay the favor on your behalf, and you, a loser, will enjoy the benefits.

While he was bragging wildly, he suddenly stood on the second floor of the city gate building, observing a sentry outside and yelled: "No, a large Ming army is coming to kill."

Fan Cheng suddenly stood up, lay down on the city wall, and looked out. When I saw it, I was so frightened that my legs went weak and my scalp felt numb.

But outside the city, I saw the Ming army, with their uniforms like fire and armor like mountains. They were marching in neat and sonorous steps, pressing down like a mountain. The dust that filled the sky added to their murderous aura.

"This, this, how many enemies are there? Why is this different from the Ming army mentioned above?"

An old soldier quickly reported: "Looking at the scale, there are at least three thousand Ming elites. It seems that we are going to have a hard battle."

"Prepare for war, prepare for war." Fan Cheng shouted at the top of his lungs.

At this moment, the Ming army outside the city suddenly stopped, and in the formation, three cannon shots suddenly broke out. Then there was silence, as if waiting.

The defenders on the city were a little confused. Ming army, what are you waiting for?

Suddenly, there was a loud cry of killing in the city. The fierce Ming troops, like life-threatening ghost soldiers emerging from the ground, killed the remaining Han troops in the city in a blink of an eye and occupied the inner city.

Such an incident frightened everyone at the time.

Suddenly, Fan Cheng shouted: "Brothers, don't panic, stick to the city wall, I will boost morale and go out of the city alone to invite a fight."

As he spoke, in everyone's surprised eyes, he actually jumped and flew off the wall.

That stretch of hand was developed from countless times climbing over the Widow's Wall and being chased and beaten. It was called clean and neat.

The heroic feat of facing three thousand Ming lions by one man immediately made all the Han troops in the city burst into applause, and their morale soared for a while.

But only half of the scream came out, and it ended abruptly, like a crowing rooster being grabbed by the neck.

Because, after Mr. Qian jumped down from the city because of his bravery, instead of bravely inviting a fight, he simply escaped along the base of the city wall.

If we are leaderless and under attack from both inside and outside, then why fight this battle? Just surrender.

Zunhua, with almost no bloodshed, returned to the hands of the Ming Dynasty in an instant.

After dealing with the prisoners, Lu Chenglong ordered: "This time, our prince has decided to close the door and beat the dogs. Your third group is the iron door bolt of Zunhua. Just hold on here for me, even if the battle is to the end. Even if you are alone, you must resist me, and I will never allow a Jiannu to cross Zunhua. If anyone dares to be cowardly in battle, the Dongchang Gonggong Supervisory Army left behind by the prince will report the truth. The Jinyi Guards have the power to kill on the spot. After the war, there will be no Even if your family members don’t give you any preferential treatment, you will not receive any preferential treatment. Do you hear me clearly?”

All three regiments shouted together: "Fight to the death and never retreat."

"Okay, I believe in you, and the prince will also believe in you. Brothers, let's fight."

 In response to the brothers' request, I will post three chapters today. Please vote for it, thank you.
