Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 15: Life after despair
  "Report!!" Just when Mang Gurtai was about to issue the order for the final blow.

Jianzhou scouts came from the periphery on horseback: "A Ming army galloped in from the direction of Youtun and began to contact our West Route Army."

From Youtun?

Mang Gurtai frowned, that should be the reinforcements from Xiong Tingbi, the Ming Dynasty's Liaodong manager!

Before Mang Gurtai could react, another group of scouts rushed over: "Report!! A large number of Ming troops appeared in the direction of Guangning City, rescue Xiping Fort!!"

Guangning City?
  Mang Gurtai held the horse's rein in his hand and jerked it back: "It's the reinforcements from Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong!"

"Your Majesty, Daishan and Amin are waiting for your decision!" Hanchen Fan Wencheng rode his horse close to Mang Gurtai, reminding him to make plans in advance.

"I am invincible in the battle of Jianzhou! One Manchu warrior is worth ten. Even if the Ming army comes again, I will not be afraid!" At this time, Mang Gurtai was still confident and prepared to command the army to attack in a big way.

This time, Nurhaci, the Great Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty, specifically tested Mang Gurtai and allowed him to command the battle independently. Nurhachi himself was in a large tent one mile away, paying attention to the battlefield situation at any time.

"All Jianzhou warriors!" Mang Gurtai raised his sword and prepared to issue an order.

"Report!!!"

The third team of scouts suddenly rushed over: "Your Majesty, there are nearly a thousand cavalry coming from the north with thunderous momentum. Our forward was defeated by them and cannot stop them!"

"What!!" Upon hearing this, Mang Gurtai's eyes flashed with stars, his ears roared, and he almost fell off his horse as his energy and blood rushed to his heart.

Why did so many Ming troops suddenly appear?

At this moment, Daishan and Amin had both received the news, and they were also in panic.

Could it be that he was ambushed by the Ming army this time?

"What is Huang Taiji doing? Why are there so many Ming troops coming back from the north?" Mang Gurtai said angrily: "Give me the order! All the troops will come forward, and Siping Fort will be captured within an hour. Then I will send reinforcements one by one. defeat!"

The north is the area that Huang Taiji is responsible for. Now more than a thousand people are coming from the north, what about Huang Taiji?

Fan Wencheng didn't dare to think about it.

When Fan Wencheng heard that Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen's reinforcements were arriving, he was still calm, but now more than a thousand cavalry are coming from the north. This is not just a reinforcement!

"Your Majesty, do you want to ask the Great Khan for instructions?"

"No need! The army will attack immediately!" Mang Gurtai waved his hand, forcing himself to calm down, hoping to take down Siping Fort in one go.

As long as Siping Fort is captured, he will be confident of taking down any Ming army that comes!

Woohoo! ! !
  Drums and trumpets were wailing, countless cavalry wielding swords and setting up palaces, galloping horses, while the soldiers drove the Han people and slaves, filling the road ahead with dead bodies.

At this moment, the war machine of the Eight Banners of Manchuria was officially launched.

----

Counting the original more than 600 cavalry, and more than 500 more people gathered on the road, Wang Qi now led more than 1,000 cavalry in less than an hour to rush from Zhenwu Fort to the Siping battlefield.

While Wang Qi was observing the offensive of Mang Gurtai's army outside Siping Fort, he issued a military order: "Everyone can only bend their bows and shoot arrows when they are within fifty steps of the Manchu cavalry. Within a few breaths, they must shoot arrows in their hands at once." Shoot all the arrow clusters empty. Within thirty steps, abandon the crossbows and fight with steel swords and shields instead!"    Crossbows pose the greatest threat at 50 steps. Within 30 steps, although the crossbows are powerful, , but the bow holder had no time to bend the bow and nock an arrow. At such a close distance, directly slashing with a steel knife would be the most deadly.

Therefore, Wang Qi's tactics were extremely effective against the Eight Banners of Manchuria who were good at bow and arrow shooting on horseback.

"Brothers, follow me and kill!!!" Ever since Liu Qu experienced the battle of Guyingshan, under the command of Wang Qi, whenever he faced the Manchu army, he was filled with murderous intent and took the lead, and psychologically speaking, Liu Qu was a guerrilla in the Chinese army, and he was a fifth-grade military general. He was commanded by a humble official of a hundred households, but he showed no trace of resentment or resistance. This is enough to show the huge influence Wang Qi had on everyone in Guying Mountain. .

"Er Bao, lead your brothers to outflank, put pressure on Jiannu, and cooperate with General Liu's frontal attack!" Wang Qi sat on the outer battlefield, commanding and manipulating his troops.

"Sir, you can't live without protection!" Qin Erbao subconsciously refused.

"As long as you lead your men and defeat the slaves in one fell swoop, no one will dare to attack me!" Wang Qi was unusually calm and looked at Qin Erbao: "Erbao, I also believe that you can do it!"

"Er Bao, take the order!" Qin Er Bao pursed his lips tightly, fisted Wang Qi with both hands, and then rode his horse and led the troops away.

Its target is clearly the direction of Mang Gurtai's Chinese army - that is the Manchurian command center and the core point that can put pressure on the Manchurian army.

At this time, the Siping Fort defenders had also received news that Xiong Tingbi personally led nearly 10,000 troops from Youtun to arrive 20 miles south of Siping. They were encountering Manchuria Zhenghongqi and Dabeile Daishan, and the two sides fought fiercely.

On the other hand, Wang Huazhen ordered Qi Bingzhong to lead more than 10,000 people to support Siping Fort. They encountered Erbeile Amin in Manchuria more than 30 miles to the west, and the battle between the two sides was in full swing.

What surprised Luo Yiguan the most was the sudden appearance of nearly a thousand Ming cavalry from the north.

As soon as they appeared, they faced Mang Gurtai's cavalry camp on the frontal battlefield, causing heavy losses to them.

And this Ming army force was the more than a thousand cavalry who had just defeated Huang Taiji's tribe!
  The battle situation in Siping Fort was instantly reversed due to the addition of three other Ming forces.

With the support of reinforcements, the momentum of the entire Siping Fort was rekindled.

Deputy General Luo Yiguan, General Hei Yunhe, guerrillas Li Maochun, Zhang Mingxian and others took the lead and led their guards and attachés into the battle to kill.

Everyone has done their best and everyone wants to survive.

Everyone has the desire to live, especially when they see hope.

There was a splat and blood splattered everywhere.

Luo Yiguan pierced the heart of the Manchu soldier who had climbed up the city wall with a knife, but he was also seriously injured and had no strength at this moment. He took two steps back and used his knife to support the ground to barely prevent himself from falling to the ground.

His wife was still at home waiting for him to return. His daughter, who was wearing two buns, had just learned to call her daddy, and her son had already begun to read in school. Sun Xiucai said that his son was very talented and might be able to grow a tree. The bean curds in Chunni Lane were very fragrant. Shopkeeper Wang’s daughter Hong is a must-have, Changchunlou’s steamed bream is good, and Goulanfang’s Yao Sister’s figure is even better.
  In a daze, Luo Yiguan's vision was blurred. It was bright red for a while, and white for a while. He was so tired that he wanted to lie down on the ground to rest.

"Sir! Manchuria has withdrawn its troops, Manchuria has withdrawn its troops!!!"

The shouts of his nephew Luo Ping suddenly sounded in Luo Yiguan's ears.

Withdrew?

Manchuria has withdrawn its troops!

Luo Yiguan opened his eyes suddenly, raised the long knife that was already full of gaps, and wanted to rush forward, but his body was too weak and he could only climb up the battlement.

In the distance, there were continuous whimpering whistles, and large areas of corpses were left in place. In the distance, the Manchurian army had receded like a tide.
